startled autumn

The wind and rain in the capital gradually subsided, but the court was full of waves, and many important issues were pending.

The first one, of course, is to change the crown prince.

The prince forced the palace overnight, and the commotion was astonishingly loud. There was an uproar in the city, and no one knew about it.Almost everyone guessed that Lu Peixuan, the crown prince, must be abolished. Generally speaking, seizing the throne was originally a muddy water, but now it suddenly became clear water at a glance. Even if the emperor didn't mention it, the officials would To stir up a stir, to show the position of breaking up with the deposed prince.

The third prince, Lu Peilang, is the empress's son. Although he is younger, his status is extremely upright. Now is a good time to ascend to the position of crown prince. Therefore, in the early court, all the ministers jointly requested to make Lu Peilang the crown prince.

However, Emperor Nanjiang asked Han Xun's opinion first, and what he said meant that he still regarded Han Xun as a serious father-in-law.

As the prime minister, Han Xun was closely related to the establishment of the crown prince. It was rare that he did not make any kind, but replied directly: "His Royal Highness is the son of the middle palace, with pure and kind character and early wisdom. He is worthy of great responsibility." These words are from the perspective of the elders, without exaggeration or embellishment, they are very simple.

With this in mind, the third prince, Lu Peilang, entered the East Palace immediately, and took the position of the crown prince.

The courtiers praised one after another, but in their hearts they were thinking about the deposed prince Lu Peixuan who was imprisoned in the palace - the East Palace he wanted to live in, but now his own brother lived in it in just one day, it was in vain for him to figure out all the tricks, and now it is full of things. Losing the rope is a kind of embarrassment if you think about it.

This morning, apart from changing the crown prince, two major events happened.

First, it is forbidden to hoard private soldiers from aristocratic families. The guards in various places are unified by the government soldiers, and all the military power belongs to the central government. Glory.

These two major events, the group of ministers had already expected, as if they had been rehearsed in advance, shouted Your Majesty's sage, from a distance, it was a perfect scene where the monarch and his ministers get along well.

"Prime Minister Han resigned?" Shen Zhiqiu said in surprise.

Although it was an appointment earlier to bring Shen Zhiqiu to the prison to interrogate Yan Huaishen, Han Bi went to Mo Yi early in the morning to pick up Shen Zhiqiu and go down the mountain. , talk about the situation in Beijing, a lot of fun.

Han Bi nodded invisibly: "My elder brother went to the south to suppress the rebellion, and he will be given a real job after he returns triumphantly. If so, wouldn't my father have to retire to the second line and become the Marquis of Cheng En who raises flowers, feeds birds and holds grandchildren?"

The restoration of the former dynasty is not a trivial matter. Not only did Yan Huaishen join forces with the dissatisfied Lu family's family to rebel in Beijing, but the banner of the restoration of the country was erected in various places in the south. , give it a go.

Therefore, Han Yuan had only just arrived in the capital for a few days, and hurried to the south to supervise the battle. When he left, he hugged his little daughter A Jia reluctantly for a long time, until his wife Qiao Shi couldn't bear it anymore and kicked him out of the house. give up.

Shen Zhiqiu had no concept of power schemes, and he didn't know how turbulent the change of prime minister would be in the court. In his mind, Prime Minister Han just wanted to enjoy his old age comfortably like ordinary people, so he said to Han Bi: "Your brother has left the capital. , you should go home and spend more time with your parents."

Han Bi raised his eyebrows: "They are annoyed when they see me now. If I go back alone, I'm afraid I'll be beaten out as soon as I go in."

Shen Zhiqiu deserves to be Mo Yi's disciple, he gained confidence when he heard the typing, and said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, I can stand outside, if you are beaten, just call my name, and I will save you immediately."

Han Bi couldn't help laughing out loud.

Shen Zhiqiu frowned and said, "What are you laughing at?"

Seeing his serious and stupid appearance, Han Bi felt his heart itch, so he took Shen Zhiqiu's hand and didn't let go, rubbed the other's palm, and stopped going around in circles with him, and said bluntly: "When will you talk to me?" go home together?"

Shen Zhiqiu: "I'll be with you anytime."

Han Bi's heart softened.

Shen Zhiqiu promised solemnly: "Don't worry, no one can hit you."

As soon as the second half of the sentence came out, Han Bi knew that he didn't understand the meaning behind "going home together". However, seeing that the first half of the sentence was good enough, Han Bi nodded cooperatively: "It's all about is you."

Shen Zhiqiu always felt that she was clumsy, but now that she finally had something to help, she couldn't help but chuckled quietly. In the eyes of lovers, this appearance was no different from begging for a kiss. Han Bi pulled people off without even thinking about it. Into the arms.

After a fight on the road, even Shen Zhiqiu, who was always good-tempered, couldn't bear it anymore, but unfortunately he couldn't say no to Han Bi, and he was reluctant to do it. When the car finally stopped, Shen Zhiqiu rushed out in a hurry.

Han Bi quickly grabbed his wrist.

"Get dressed first."

Shen Zhiqiu nodded in embarrassment, obediently restored the ripped collar to its original shape, and then warned in a low voice: "Don't do this next time."

Han Bi stared at the hickey on his collarbone that was covered by the cloth, and raised his eyebrows.

Shen Zhiqiu: "I can do it when I go back."

Han Bi got out of the car immediately, and said shamelessly, "Come on, let's make a quick decision and go home after the interrogation."

Yan Huaishen, as a treasonous felon, has conclusive evidence, and was imprisoned alone in a deep dungeon, and no one was allowed to visit him. He could be sentenced to death only after the emperor issued an edict, and he didn't have to wait until after autumn.

When Han Bi took Shen Zhiqiu down to the dungeon, Yan Huaishen's limbs were all chained up, and his broken kneecap was splinted, and he looked gray. Concealing the embarrassment, there is no trace of the graceful and leisurely appearance of playing horses and raising birds in the past.

"You came."

But as soon as he opened his mouth, Han Bi knew that he was still the Great General Yan who once ruled the Northwest. He was a hero when he approached the city and stood still.

"Did you bring wine?" he asked.

Han Bi shook his head and didn't speak. He felt heavy about this elder.

"How do you talk without wine?" Yan Huaishen smiled softly, patted the hay-covered ground with his hands, and the iron chains collided with each other to make a harsh sound, "Bi'er, I know you are picky, but there is no other place now. ,sit down."

Han Bi pulled Shen Zhiqiu, sat down cross-legged slowly, and replied in a flat tone: "Uncle Yan, I can assure you that there will be wine when you eat the meal with the severed head."

After saying this, it was to cut off all the remaining points of their friendship.Yan Huai squinted his eyes deeply to look at him, and suddenly burst out laughing: "As expected of a member of the Han family, this ability to forget old feelings is exactly the same."

Han Bi: "I'm willing to call you Uncle Yan, it's already very nostalgic."

"It's true, although you are deviant, you are still a child of a noble family." Yan Huai nodded with a deep smile, "You must have obtained His Majesty's will when you came to find me. Why, you came to me specifically to reminisce about the old days?"

Han Bi ignored the second part of his sentence, and said to himself: "General Yan, what should the family look like?"

Yan Huaishen's left arm suddenly moved, and only heard the sound of an iron strike, breaking through the wind, a thick iron chain was attached to the bracelet used for restraint, and now it was swinging beautiful waves, towards Han Biyong past.

The heavy chain link was about to touch the tip of Han Bi's nose.

He didn't blink, he didn't move.

The next moment, the iron chain retracted back, obviously someone deliberately controlled the strength, and stopped before actually hurting Han Bi.

Yan Huai looked deeply at Han Bi's calm expression, and said with a smile: "This is the case with aristocratic families. Even if disasters are imminent, they still have the strength of character."

Han Bi said lightly, "You're daydreaming, you're asking for trouble, and you're thinking about the character of your family, isn't it ridiculous?"

In an instant, Yan Huaishen's right arm moved.

This time was quite different from the last time, but there was a slight sound, a hand was passed over, and the iron chain was stopped without any explanation.

Shen Zhiqiu held the iron chain tightly in his hand, frowned and said, "What do you want to do?"

He could tell that Yan Huaishen really wanted to hurt Han Bi this time, so he quickly stopped it.

Yan Huaishen naturally recognized this Mo Yi's Shen Zhiqiu. That day in the Tai Chi Hall, this person relied on his superb swordsmanship to ruin his event, and Mo Yi behind him rushed to him from thousands of miles away, destroying his ten-year plan.

Although the winner is the king and the loser is the bandit, Yan Huaishen inevitably feels that it is not worth it. Who would have thought that an emperor who is known for being suspicious would trust Guo Qianjun so much, and even use him to pave the way between Changqiu Palace and Mo Yi? A connected secret passage is convenient for reinforcements at any time.

He said that he misses Empress Han's grace, so he has guarded the Changqiu Palace for many years, and no one is allowed to set foot in it. In fact, it is to hide the secret of the fifth gate, and it will be opened suddenly at a critical moment, killing him by surprise. .

Yan Huai looked deeply at Shen Zhiqiu and said coldly: "What are you, you dare to question me—"

Only halfway through the words, Han Bi held Shen Zhiqiu's wrist, raised his hand and threw away the iron chain, then rubbed his red palm, and asked in a low voice: "Does it hurt? "

Yan Huai Shen: "..."

Shen Zhiqiu smiled and said, "As long as you're fine."

Han Bi frowned, and taught him as if no one else was there: "What is the Shadow Stepping Sword for? Do you need to block it with your palm every time?"

"I won't do it next time."

"good."

"..." Yan Huai couldn't bear it anymore. He knew that Han Bi and Shen Zhiqiu must have something tricky, but he didn't expect these two people to be so shameless, so he said angrily: "Han Bi, are you out of your mind? ? You were born in the Han family in the capital, but now you are flirting with a man, how decent is that?"

The smile on Shen Zhiqiu's face faltered, and he wanted to retract his hands into his sleeves, but Han Bi didn't let him back away, instead he pulled him closer and clasped his fingers tightly.

Han Bi smiled irrefutably at Yan Huai: "You are about to be killed anyway, and you don't have the chance to talk nonsense with others, so what should I avoid?"

Yan Huaishen felt that he would be pissed off by him before he asked to beheaded.

"What's more, you're right. The children of the aristocratic family have a strong character. They are not bent by the world, and they have their own thoughts in their hearts." Han Bi's tone was light, but his words were rebellious and free-spirited, "Since I like him, I can Why dare not admit it?"

Shen Zhiqiu was taken aback by his words, but didn't know what to say, so he clenched Han Bi's hand tightly, and after a while, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
