[Rebirth] Chronicle of the Two Capitals

The alchemy of drunkenness ended in the death of Chong Yunzi. Affected by this, Yan Dang has recently quieted down and restrained a lot of arrogance.The loyal prince inherits the title and finds a compromise method - Prince Rui's second son adopts, inherits the title, and merges the feudal domain with the prefecture.The only fly in the ointment and expected is that Prince Yuan, the Huoxun layman who was in contention with Yan Xun's imperial court, was found out and relegated to any small county magistrate in the locality, with no hope of official career.

At the end of spring, the news of the spring drought in various places was reported, funds were allocated for disaster relief, and the rest was nothing major.

Seven Scenes of Yanjing - Lion Peak of Zhongshan Mountain, Yanhui Pagoda of Baoguo Temple, Jianjiating, General Tomb, Changting Pavilion in Snow, Luoshui River Embankment and Buerizhai Spring Flower Garden.These seven scenic spots have always been fascinated by people all over the world, and they are good places for Yanjing people to go in their spare time.However, two of them belong to "the heart longs for it but the body cannot come": Changting, the royal palace, where idlers are not allowed to enter; Enjoy.

The alleys are narrow, and horses and carriages cannot enter, so Xiao Shen ordered his servants to wait outside and go by himself.Entering, you can hear the sound of gurgling water, the stream under the bamboo bridge is irrigated, and there are several peaks of rocks in Taihu Lake, which are strangely rugged.There are several plants and trees beside the stream, dense and cold green, lush and lush, showing the tendency to block out the sun.Along the winding path, through the veranda, you can see the pear trees through the window, the wind is like snow, and the insects are singing, just like in the mountains and forests.Once out, clivia, peony, hydrangea, poppies, etc., meandering around the walls, colorful.The old man in the farmhouse lives in it, lies in it, attracts bees and butterflies, embraces a jug, his cheeks are flushed, and when the bees taste it, he is almost drunk.

Xiao Shen shook his fan and laughed loudly: "Good flowers, strong wine, weird people!"

Shang Zan took off the bamboo hat that shaded the sun, brushed off the drunken bees that were paralyzed on the wine jar, and waved to Xiao Shen: "Come, come and have a drink, the king of Chu sent someone to send it yesterday, and just sealed the clay, waiting for you Woolen cloth!"

Naturally, Shang Zan didn't sleep among the flowers, but a low couch and a rattan table, which were hidden by the flowerbed and could not be seen from afar.

Xiao Shen went over, Shang Zan made way for him, he didn't make any detours, and went straight in: "It's just you and me, is it true?"

Xiao Shen's buttocks were still hot, he heard this and replied with a smile: "Brother Shi Quan is too impatient, let me rest for a while." After finishing speaking, he clasped the flagon with his hand, poured a glass, drank it all, and slowly savored the aftertaste.Tsk, the wine of the king of Chu, the best in the world, jade liquid fine wine!

Shang Zan watched from the sidelines, really wishing he could pry open his iron mouth with two shovels for shoveling the soil, and come back from a boat trip on the lake. Who is the mastermind, and can get Xiao Xiang to assist him personally?Moreover, if there is such a plan, I am afraid that it has been planned a few years ago, and few people in the government and the public know about it.

The world is talented, Shang Zan first recommends Xiao Shen and Yan Xun, Xiao Shen is not the mastermind, Yan Xun is also excluded, there must be a third person who is looked down upon by him.

Xiao Shen didn't intend to whet people's appetites, it's really dangerous and difficult, the more people who know about it, the more dangerous it is, even if it's praised, it needs to be carefully considered.Fortunately, Shang Zan is a man who likes to be courteous in Wei and Jin Dynasties, and hates the things of camping and camping the most. Telling him is no different from telling him about a flower, a plant, a tree, and a stone.You can't hide it, you can't hide it, you can't lie, you can't lie, let's do it!

Under Shang Zan's curious eyes, Xiao Shen slowly said: "This plan was conspired by the queen, and someone mediated and secretly assisted."

Shang Zan was so stupefied that he was petrified on the spot. If he poured modern Internet vocabulary into his mind, he would probably be able to make a fuss, pointing at Xiao Shen angrily: "Damn mentally retarded! Think I'm stupid, why don't you say yes?" How about Yan Xun directing and acting? Get lost!"

The amount of information is a bit large, and Shangzan is over [-] years old, so it needs to be digested slowly.Xiao Shen poured and drank by himself, as if he had eaten Xuanmai, he couldn't stop, while praising the craftsmanship of the new winemaker recruited by the King of Chu, he lifted Shangzan's chin with the handle of his fan to prevent it from dislocating.

After a long time, Shang Zan recovered from the shock, and said in a trembling voice: "Little... Xiaoyan Empress? She... why is she like this, how can you believe it?" Shang Zan felt that this was a fantasy, everyone in the Yan family The wolf is ambitious, the queen is Yan's daughter, but she doesn't plan for Yan's, it's like a well-behaved and cute little white rabbit popping up in the wolf's den for no reason, isn't it funny?

Xiao Shen was obviously prepared for his surprise, and calmly said: "Brother Shi Quan, do you still remember the imperial examination competition in the year of Yi Chou?"

Yi ugly year?Hmm... Shang Zan counted with his fingers, oh, 23 years ago, what happened 23 years ago?Shang Zan looked at Xiao Shen innocently, with the corners of his mouth curled down, feeling aggrieved, he is old and his memory is fading, it's good that he can still remember who he is.

A lot of age is still cute!Xiao Shen was helpless, and gave him another reminder: "Pei Zhiyao."

Like thunder!Shang Zan clapped his knees and said, "Pei Zhiyao, the number one scholar in the women's department! Even in three yuan, the late emperor did not hesitate to praise her, Pei Zhiyao, a talented girl with a bright heart, eloquence and quick thinking?"

Shang Zan was very excited, but Xiao Shen was about to kneel down to this old man who has no wife and no sons, the point is not here, sir!I know that you only love flowers and plants and don't go after gossip and anecdotes, but you shouldn't even know about the Fengyue case in Yichou year that involved the three tribes of Guangyi.Xiao Shen originally wanted to make a long story short, but now only the child has no mother to make a long story.

During the imperial examination in the year of Yichou, Pei Zhiyao arrived in Beijing by water transport and stayed at Baoguo Temple.The first emperor was sympathetic to the children of poor families, and sent the head of the imperial examination to visit.On that day, the master inspected Baoguo Temple and entered the meditation room with all the ladies. Pei Zhiyao was beautiful, and plain clothes and blue shirts were not enough to hide his beauty.Seeing the lust, the master seduced him, but Pei Zhiyao was cold and noble, and refused.A few days later, the master was drunk and sneaked in at night, trying to force him, the ladies were startled and drove away angrily.

Pei Zhiyao refused, and went out in full clothes, and beat Dengwen drums to report to the heavens.Pei Zhiyao was not discouraged, and splashed ink in front of the forbidden palace, lamenting the ten abuses of the government, writing a piece of handwritten paper, vying to pass it on and copy it, his literary talent is the best in Beijing.When he was summoned by the emperor, he was told that the master had misbehaved. The emperor was angry and ordered a thorough investigation.Zuo Xiangyan Huaixin presided over the trial, bribery, prostitution, adultery, and deceiving the emperor. He was punished for several crimes. He was in charge of the Yi tribe.

Shang Zan not only heard about the Fengyue case in the year of Yichou, but also experienced it personally. The reason why he forgot it was because he had nothing to do with his own affairs and didn't take it to heart.Shang Zan Nianxu pondered: "Well, when Xiao Xiang mentioned Yan Huaixin, I already remembered that Pei Zhiyao had not been in the Imperial Academy for a year, committed himself to Yan Huaixin, resigned from office and retired to Jinling—the Empress Xiaoyan was born by her. "

"Exactly." Xiao Shen expressed regret, "He is talented and virtuous, if it hadn't happened to him, he should be the pillar of the country." There is nothing he can do to complain about the evils of the times, and she also knows that honest and honest words may be feared by the monarch However, the court is not a place to stay for a long time, it is better to get out as soon as possible.This woman is really temperamental, so chic, really admirable!

Thinking of one thing, he thought of many things one after another, Shang Zan suddenly smiled and said: "In the year of Yi Chou, Prime Minister Xiao, you worked with Pei Zhiyao in the Imperial Academy at that time, I think you have met him."

"That's right. Knowledge, talent, and disposition - all of them are amazing! If Yan Huaixin hadn't come first, I might have made her Xiao Pei's family instead of Yan Pei's family." Xiao Shen sighed for a long time, and felt that his wife was still at home, It’s not good to be so unforgettable about her first love, so she hurriedly returned to the topic, "Pei Zhiyao married the Yan family as a concubine, lived in seclusion, raised a young daughter, and secretly thought that the queen was taught by her mother, so she should not go astray."

Innocent!Although it is said that like a mother, like a daughter, there is an old proverb "a dragon has nine sons, each of which is different", how to determine the queen's character?Shang Zan snorted lightly, only felt that Xiao Shen's four fights had to be given to Yan Xun's one.

Xiao Shen knew what he was thinking, and said with a smile: "Brother Shi Quan, don't worry, wait for me to explain in detail. I once sent someone to Jinling to contact Pei Zhiyao, but I learned that Pei Zhiyao had passed away for a long time. Xiaoyan got married not long ago , she committed suicide by hunger strike, and then, Yan Huaixin, who was at the height of his power, retired and returned to the field." The matter of Yan's seizure of power was revealed, Pei Zhiyao couldn't persuade her husband, and committed suicide in order to die, Yan Huaixin repented and retired.

"The queen likes Haitang the most. Haitang is also known as 'Shu guest'. Pei Zhiyao is from Shuzhou and lives in Jinling." Shang Zan had a complete understanding, with a complex expression on his face, "Reminiscing about my mother so far should not go against her will."

Xiao Shen spoke dryly, shook his head, and pointed to the flowerbeds all over the floor: "A thousand words are not as good as a crabapple plant. Brother Shi Quan will use flowers as his wife and trees as his sons in the future!"

Shang Zan waved his hands again and again, patted the jug and said with a smile: "I still need wine as my concubine!"

Xiao Shen rolled his eyes at him: Old and unscrupulous!

"The empress resides in the middle palace, how do you communicate with each other to deliver news when you are in the previous court?" Shang Zan wondered, in recent years, he had never heard of the empress summoning Xiao Shen.

"Baoguo Temple. The queen recites scriptures and worships the Buddha. Others only feel uneasy because she poisoned the prince. They need the comfort of the gods, so they will not attract suspicion." Xiao Shen took out a wooden box from his sleeve pocket and handed it to Shang Zan, "You And look."

Shang Zan took it, opened it, and read it. He was surprised and indignant: "Yongzhou Wei? Yan Xun is really a lack of people! Kyushu Nine Guards, Yan's holding Dingzhou and Liangzhou, is it not enough? So, he has intended to mutiny , Inappropriate, how to solve it?" Shang Zan no longer cares about government affairs, nor does he want to go to war, so that the lives of the people are devastated.

Xiao Shen smiled but did not answer, he pushed and pulled the bottom of the empty wooden box to hide a letter.He presented the letter paper in front of Shang Zan, Shang Zan was eager to snatch it away, Xiao Shen withdrew his hand in time, and said with a smile: "The official post has hidden Yan's eyes and ears, brother Shi Quan keeps pigeons, can I borrow it?"

Do not come if you have nothing to do!Shang Zan was full of complaints, but nodded his head like a cat: "Excuse me—let me see!"

Shang Zan snatched it, but it was actually the queen's handwriting, and the small script characters are beautiful.The queen has two plans: First, did the commander of the deputy capital of Yongzhou, Yuan Kang, have a relative who died recently in his family?If there is, recognize it in the name of righteous parents, repay Ding You's filial piety, and cannot marry within three years;

"Although it is thorough, is it feasible?" Yuan Kang may not agree, why do you have to avoid the matter of the Princess of Linchuan County climbing high branches?

Xiao Shen stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Yuan Kang and I have met for several times, I know him as a man, if I tell him in detail, he will agree, you just need to borrow a pigeon!"

"Only three people know about this matter?" Shang Zan raised three fingers, and suddenly became cute. Seeing Xiao Shen nodding, he became even more happy. After a while, he sighed again, "Even so, we are still at a disadvantage. , One day the personal guards will return to the Yan family, and one day will not be safe." The emperor was indifferent to the empress, and he would not believe it if he wanted to tell him, but as for the little boy of His Royal Highness, why tell her?The queen is taking care of her, and it will be good to grow up happily and healthily. It is the way of the king, and it will not be too late for her to teach it when she ascends the throne in the future.

Xiao Shen was very satisfied with the word "we", and unknowingly gained an ally, who could hold his back even in death.He patted Shang Zan on the shoulder: "This matter is also under planning. Wouldn't it be wonderful if the guards couldn't seize it and Luan Yiwei reconsidered it?"

As Xiao Shen said, he even blinked at Shang Zan, and Shang Zan said in his heart: I just borrowed pigeons as agreed!Why do you feel that you are being sucked into the vortex, please give me a hand!Machinations are so dangerous, people don't want to be smug!
