A single tree becomes a banyan

Murong Xing was in a trance, Jian'er led her to the court, feeling uneasy all the way, as expected, when she arrived at the court, the throne was not secured yet, and she first accepted criticism from the ministers.

Murong Xing was on the verge of breaking out, all the ministers turned a blind eye to it, and intensified their efforts, and even played the Zhong brothers and sisters, pleading for the orders of the Ministry of Rites.Murong Xing knew in his heart that they actually disapproved of her, if it wasn't for Ji Min's death and Dan Xiao's surrender, she wouldn't be able to take the throne.

"You don't need to talk about it. Regarding the position of Minister of Rites, I have a new candidate. There is a woman who knows the book and can be appointed as Minister of Rites." When Murong Xing said this, everyone was surprised to find that at some point, there was a The strange woman stepped into the hall and walked in front of everyone.

"The minister is late, and I hope His Majesty will forgive me."

The woman had a gentle smile and a dignified manner. Everyone didn't know which family she was from. Seeing that she was wearing an old official uniform of the Ministry of Rites that didn't fit her body, looking baggy, they couldn't help but look sideways.

Jian'er looked at the woman under the stairs unexpectedly, her eyes widened in surprise, why is she... wait, His Majesty is going to show off his power?

"The minister has his own book to play." When this woman took office as a new official, she pointed directly at Zhong Zhengyu, which attracted everyone's attention.

"What do you want to participate in?" Zhong Zhengyu looked at her with a cold expression.

"I believe that Mr. Zhong is a historian, he should do his job well and should not participate in politics."

"That makes sense." Murong Xing nodded, pretending to think for a while, "The position of Prime Minister has been vacant for a long time since the dynasty was established..."

Zhong Zhengyu was startled, and turned to look at Murong Xing, but he didn't see the slight curve of Liu Ming's mouth, but heard her speak loudly again: "Your Majesty, it's better to hit the sun than to choose a day, and if Master Zhong has no objection, it's better to issue an edict. "

Zhong Zhengyu had no objection, he was speechless, these two women sang and chorused, wanting to promote before suppressing, and in the blink of an eye they pushed him to a position that attracted everyone's envy, and they didn't even discuss with him, it was too much!

"It's so good. The next emperor will stay here and wait for the widow to draw up an imperial edict."

The woman turned a deaf ear to the voice of discussion, and was meticulous in her salute, "I obey the order."

The woman entered the line, noticed the curious gaze on the left, turned her head and smiled generously.This smile was much prettier than the old man's. Ji Yin blinked and smiled back at her.Zhong Zhengyu came out, saluted and thanked, and when he turned around, he quickly glanced at "Li Le", taking this scene into his eyes, and became interested.

"All the ministers knew that Zhong Li was ill, and they never forgot to visit him at night. The noise made the widows restless at night, and even forgot to wear the crown in the morning..." Murong Xing tilted his head, Jian Er understood, stepped forward and said loudly: "I have something to do Let’s play—retire without incident—”

Murong Xing got up, inspected the people under the steps, and said coldly: "My lords, those who know the current affairs are outstanding, I will wait for you."

At the end of the morning court, all the officials dispersed, and the Lord of the Ministry of Rites saw that there was no one in the hall, so he took off his official robe, revealing the black night clothes inside.

Murong Xing's hand that made the decree stopped, and Jian'er hurriedly reminded her: "Ming'er, this is the main hall, so don't be rude."

……

"This newly appointed Master of the Ministry of Rites, his surname is Liu, with a single inscription."

"What a familiar name."

"Yes, she is the eldest daughter of Duwei Liu under Dan Xiao. She entered the palace in the same year as you, so you naturally have some impressions."

"I remembered that back then, Di Xin was on guard against Dan Xiao, and never spoiled her, instead he gave her to the barbarian clan for marriage... Doesn't Murong Xing know about this?"

"Hehe, everyone in the world thinks she belongs to Dan Xiao, but they don't know that after the marriage between the barbarians, she became an abandoned child, and she is determined not to work for Dan Xiao any more. There is a saying in the Murong family, 'The heartless one hurts people's lives, and the one who hurts others does not. "Save your life", the girl must have heard it, and it is the lord of the Ministry of Rites who is talking about it. Hehe, if it wasn't for Lu Nuo who could poison Ji Wen to death, Liu Ming would be the great elder of the Murong Clan. It's a pity, a pity... "

"What's the pity?"

"It's a pity that she died in Xishan. There is one less fun in this world."

Zhong Li was slightly taken aback when he heard this, "Is she really dead?"

"Yeah, originally he was heartbroken, and then he was pierced by a sword, so he really died."

In the warm dungeon, Zhong Li was lying peacefully, and Miracle Doctor Le stood aside and talked to her, what he said was as if he had seen it with his own eyes, but she was clearly trapped here without seeing the sun for a long time.Zhong Li thought that his illness would be cured by three points so quickly, and for the first time felt uneasy because of ignorance.

"Miss Le really knows everything, no wonder Murong Xing wants to lock you up here." Zhong Li kept hinting to himself in his heart, reluctantly accepting this appearance that resembles Su Rong, with a look on his face. laugh.

"She can't lock me up, no one can lock me up, I just have nowhere to go." Pale shook the shackles on his feet, bored, "I don't want to heal you, no one has talked to me for a long time."

Zhong Li panicked, how could this be different from what was agreed.

"Ahem, Su Rong said that you...you are a weirdo, you don't like to talk."

"She..." Ju Le looked up and recalled, "She was either seducing me or molesting me, I'm a little afraid of her."

Zhong Li raised his hand and chuckled, and said with a smile, "Su Rongsheng is beautiful, even if his behavior is a bit sloppy, you won't lose."

"She never intended to harm you, so you can say such a thing." Du Le also smiled, "It seems that she really regards you as a friend."

Zhong Li's smile froze on his face, and he had mixed feelings for a while.

Da Le chatted with Zhong Li for a few days, and it was almost healed, when the door of the dungeon opened again, Murong Xing did not show up, but ordered Jian Er to come down to pick her up.Ju Le had long been hidden in a dark corner, and before Zhong Li left to find her location, she let out a soft sound of handcuffs, "I won't see you off."

Let go of some things, some people, even if it is not free and easy, but at least start working hard, don't let the past affect the future.The insignificance caught between the interests, the despair in the conspiracy, the wavering in the belief, Zhong Li sees it clearly, but he can't let it go.If her heart is not hardened, she will be trampled on by others, but she is an upright woman in her bones, so she is willing to join forces with others.The reason why Zhong Li got sick was because she cared too much about the opinions of others. What was sensitive was not her body at all, but her heart.

Zhong Li summed up his experience and believed that if there is no change, there will only be a dead end, so he treats her with one sentence: "You are still too young." A person will eventually face everything alone, no matter whether he is persistent or fickle, it is just for growth.It's hard to tell right from wrong, and when you become good enough, you won't care so much.

Zhong Li bowed solemnly to the corner: "Thank you for your enlightenment in the past few days, Miss, Zhong Li will definitely repay you in the future."

"Don't bother your lord, let's go as soon as you recover from your illness." Pa Le let out a chuckle, and the lingering sound came into his ears, "Remember, don't trust anyone in the palace, your original intention is the most true."

Zhong Li went out with Jian'er, watched the secret guard reseal the place with his own eyes, and secretly asked Jian'er, "Did you hear what she said before leaving?"

"Did she speak?" Jian'er looked blank, "My lord, forgive me, but Jian'er didn't notice..."

"It's okay." Sure enough, it was for her alone.

In order to comfort Zhong Li, Murong Xing repainted a layer of gold paint on the roof of the West Hall. Zhong Li chatted with Jian Er for a few words, but didn't bother to look, and went directly to Yuefu.With money to paint the harem, and time to listen to music and have fun, it seems that the road to begging for food is really hard for the victims.

When the emperor came in person, the Yuefu wafted a strong smell of rouge and gouache. Wherever Zhong Li went, no one saluted, and everyone he saw was decorated with rare and rare treasures, disdainful to look at her plain.That's right, she just came out of the ground, she wasn't wearing gorgeous neon clothes, and she wasn't wearing bright makeup, so naturally no one paid attention to her.This is a place where luxury and money are glamorous, Zhong Li comforted himself, indifferently, indifferently.

In the cabinet, it was as warm as spring. Murong Xing was sitting in the middle, Ji Yin was on the left, and Liu Ming was on the right. Step by step lotus.

Suddenly, the music stopped, and after the lingering sound, the dancer was forced to stop.Everyone noticed something strange, and the dancers all looked in the direction of the luthier.

The position of the luthier has already been changed, Murong Xing smiled slightly, "Continue."

Zhong Li gave a signal to everyone, started to play the qin, the sound of the qin was like the tinkling of a mountain spring, and as light as the water splashing from the mountain stream, like a bell in the wind, or a copper bell blown by the wind.The dancer girl Wenzhi's expression changed, she was only charming when she changed, she danced calmly, she danced gracefully, her back was straight, her gaze was cold, as if she was the only one in the world, and she finally bloomed proudly.Not rough, not soft, not weak, the musicians behind Zhong Li couldn't keep up, the music gradually stopped, staring blankly at the backs of the two of them.

The dancers on the stage hold their heads upright, dancing gracefully, unable to stop.The three people in the stands had already sat upright, Murong Xing said to Ji Yin: "I only know that she is good at mountains and rivers, but I don't know what she means by playing the piano this time."

Ji Yin's eyes were bright, her lips parted slightly, and she looked at Zhong Li excitedly.After the song was over, the lingering sound lingered, Ji Yin walked up to Murong Xing with the cup in hand, and quickly wrote a word with her green fingers dipped in the wine.

clear.

The dancer led everyone out of the stage, Jian'er led Zhong Li upstairs to salute, Murong Xing was pondering the meaning of this word, when he raised his eyes, Jian'er was holding a blue-glazed white dragon-patterned elephant-ear vase, in which was a A crystal clear plum blossom, suddenly enlightened.

"It's just a strange, ordinary piano, but it's rare to have a profound artistic conception, clear, real, and elegant."

Zhong Li didn't expect Murong Xing to say such an opinion, and he was flattered and said: "See Your Majesty, Zhong Li saw the plum blossoms in Xinting, and felt a little bit. I hope that Your Majesty will forgive me if I overstep." She turned around and saluted again, "Liu My lord, Jifu Yin."

"Master Zhong." Liu Ming got up to return the salute, looked around Zhong Li secretly, and said: "I heard that Master Zhong was ill a few days ago, but today he looks much better."

"Thank you Master Liu for your concern, Zhong Li has not yet congratulated Master Liu on his appointment..."

Murong Xing looked at the two of them exchanging greetings with complicated expressions, and when Zhong Li took his seat, he said solemnly: "I have a good news or a bad news, which one does Zhong Qing want to hear first?"
