Meilin Zangshu

King Yu received Mei Changsu's advice, and forced Emperor Liang to nod his head to agree to the court debate on the grounds of "being famous for Confucianism".

In recent years, Yu Wang, who is very good at making superficial articles, has attracted many famous Confucian scholars. The crown prince and Yue Guifei are so angry that their teeth itch, but there is nothing they can do about the "court discussion".Daliang ruled the country with propriety, so King Yu sacrificed the trump card of "challenge to discuss etiquette", even Emperor Liang could only accept it with an ugly face, let alone the prince and concubine Yue.

Concubine Yue's bright eyes turned, and she ordered the prince to recruit sages at all costs.

The two parties, who are in a state of inexorability, are still accumulating strength non-stop, while Mei Changsu, who has thrown away all his origins, leisurely accompanies the leader of Nihuang County to appreciate the plum blossoms in snow.Mei Changsu tightened the fox fur on his body, staring at the white snow on Hongmei's fingers in a daze, the last time he went to Prince Jing's mansion to visit Tingsheng was the winter solstice, and the soldiers of Prince Jing's mansion returned to Su's mansion to eat another bowl The dumplings made by Aunt Ji, it also snowed that night, but the winter plums are not in bloom, so it is inevitable that they will be less elegant...

Nihuang called "Mr. Su" twice, and Mei Changsu came back to his senses.

He hastily apologized and said, "I'm lost in thought for a while, I hope the Princess is not to blame."

Nihuang smiled faintly, and said "no problem", she took two steps forward, and it happened that the plum blossoms on the branches were stirred by a gust of wind, and fell on the ends of her shoulders and hair.Mei Changsu stretched out his hand without thinking too much, and removed the petals for her. For a moment, Nihuang thought that he had returned to the youthful years when he and Lin Shu were admiring the snow and flowers, and when he turned around, he said "Brother Lin Shu" and said "Brother Lin Shu" ...

However, when Nihuang turned around and looked at Mei Changsu's handsome face, which was not at all similar to Lin Shu, those four words quietly dissipated in her throat.She lowered her head to hide the momentary change of expression.Mei Changsu regained his composure, and changed the subject, "As for the places to appreciate plums, I'm afraid there are few places in the capital that can compare to the plum garden in Prince Mu's Mansion..."

Nihuang seemed to be thinking of something, with nostalgia in her eyes: "The plum garden in Prince Mu's Mansion is nothing. When His Royal Highness Qi Wang was still alive, brother Lin Shu deliberately planted plum blossoms in his courtyard in the commander's mansion to please him. Every plant and every tree was planted by him himself, without any artificial hands. His Royal Highness Qi has always loved plum blossoms, and brother Lin Shu also loved houses and crows. I still remember the smiles of the two of them under the proud plum blossoms..." Nihuang like Realizing that he had talked too much, he forced a smile and said casually, "Speaking of which, Mr. Su also has the word 'Mei' embedded in his name."

Mei Changsu didn't seem to take King Lin Shuqi's past matters to heart, he just smiled lightly, "My father's surname is Mei."

Nihuang nodded, and walked forward again. Mei Changsu fell a few steps behind her, and the moment he lowered his head, the deep sadness in his eyes spread.He fixed his mind and followed behind Nihuang. After the two talked for a few words, Nihuang suddenly asked him: "Mr. Su, which one do you prefer when discussing etiquette?"

Mei Changsu smiled softly, and asked, "Which family is the princess more optimistic about?"

Nihuang counted them one by one: "The crown prince is the head of the East Palace, but his birth mother is not the queen but the noble concubine Yue; the status of the birth mother of Yu Wang is too low, but she is raised by the queen, and her status is more noble than other princes... "Mei Changsu interrupted her with a smile, "That's just a look."

Under Nihuang's puzzled gaze, Mei Changsu stroked the flower buds on his fingers with a smile, and said lightly: "Your Majesty has no sons today, no matter whether it is Prince Yuwang or Ningwang Jingwang, everyone is a son of a son. If it is about the position, who is the son of a son?" Don't say who's background is low." With her keen intuition, Nihuang grasped a word in his words, "Prince Jing?"

Mei Changsu still smiled unabated, looked at her and said, "Does the princess want to slap Concubine Yue again?"

In the evening, Dr. Yan came to check the pulse with a medicine box, slightly increased or decreased the dosage in the prescription according to the season, and then cooked a bowl of soup that smelled extremely bitter.Fei Liu pinched his nose and retreated three feet away, loudly saying, "It's too bitter!"

Mei Changsu gave him a funny look: "It's not you who drank."

"Too bitter!" Fei Liu said again, and then pointed at Mei Changsu with concern, "Brother Su!"

Mei Changsu knew that what he meant was that he was sorry that he wanted to drink this bowl of soup that smelled extremely bitter, and he couldn't help but feel a little more warmth in his heart. He smiled and waved to Fei Liu, saying, "Go and get the leftover candy. Bring a portion of the cake to Brother Su." After hearing this, Fei Liu flew directly to get the cake.

Doctor Yan stared at him as he drank every drop, then he snorted and turned to leave.Mei Changsu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but Li Gang smiled and leaned over to Aunt Ji and muttered to Aunt Ji, "Master Lin Chen invited Dr. Yan here, it's really wise." Mei Changsu heard the word "Lin Chen" in Li Gang's mouth , After taking the medicine, he felt a little sleepy, so he leaned on the low couch and looked out the window at the gradually drowsy sky.

At this time, I don't know what Lin Chen is doing.

More than ten years ago, Lin Xie, the commander of the Red Flame Army, accidentally met Lin Chen's father in Jianghu, who is now the old pavilion owner of Langya Pavilion.The two became brothers of the opposite sex under mutual agreement, and even promised to have children and daughters to become in-laws. Fortunately, both parties were boys, which allowed Lin Shu to escape the calamity of marriage with the fingertips.On the way, the two elders rescued a drug girl with excellent medical skills. Later, Lin Xie's sister Lin Leyao entered the palace as a concubine, but after giving birth to Jing Yu, she suffered from some illnesses. Sending him to the palace as a sign of taking care of him gave birth to the later birth mother of King Jing, Concubine Jing.

Because of his father's origin, Lin Shu had a deep personal relationship with Lin Chen from birth. When he and Jing Yu had troubles back then, it was also thanks to Lin Chen's mediation.After the Meiling Mutiny, Lin Shu was poisoned by fire and cold and fell off the cliff and nearly died. It was Lin Chen and the Lin family's father who tried their best to save Lin Shu back to the world.

Mei Changsu vaguely recalled this point, and the rest was a torrent of drowsiness.

The highly respected person invited by Prince Mu's Mansion became the most important bargaining chip for the court to discuss etiquette and honor the king.

Mr. Zhou Xuanqing, who has not been seen by countless princes and nobles, is on his way back to Lingyin Temple, where Qingxiu resides.Zhou Xuanqing's beard and hair are gray, but his eyes are hale and bright. With the wisdom of years of experience in life, he looked at the jade cicada in his palm, and asked again: "Little prince, you said that you would let the jade cicada go?" The one who brought it to me will be waiting for me on the way back?"

Mu Qing wasn't impatient at all. Considering Zhou Xuanqing's reputation and the fact that he was told by his sister not to be presumptuous, he nodded and said, "Yes, he said he would come to see you on your way back to Lingyin Temple."

Zhou Xuanqing once again set his sights on the jade cicada in the palm of his hand. This object was a favorite of his old friend Li Chong. Back then, his old friend set up a teaching altar outside the palace city. There were many disciples, but there were only a few outstanding disciples who could get the jade cicada he gave Not much.It was also because of his old friend that he returned to the temple with Prince Mu many years later.

The carriage gradually slowed down, and the driver opened the curtain after reporting that there was a passenger ahead.The first day of the twelfth lunar month in the cold winter, when the wind rushed in, most of the heat in the car was immediately dissipated, and the cold feeling rushed to the face, which made people shiver.In that short moment, Zhou Xuanqing saw a young man waiting respectfully in the old pavilion not far away.

His face is handsome and slightly pale. Although there is a radiance between his brows, it can't hide his frail state.

At the same time, in the Mu Wang Mansion in Jinling City in the distance, Princess Nihuang seemed to be in a daze.

Not long ago, she finally found out some news about Jiangzuo Meilang, that is, the old story of helping the army in the southern border to break the law of the enemy's Tiesuo Company.The traces of it brought back countless questions that she had immersed in the bottom of her heart—the person who offered the advice came from Jiangzuo, and his identity was found out after many secret investigations. He was an old member of the Red Flame Army. Why did the Jiangzuo League, a power in the rivers and lakes, send people from the old case to help?

Also, since Jiangzuo Meilang entered Beijing, the city of Jinling has been full of turmoil, and it seems that he can be found behind the scenes of everything: the old couple who witnessed the Binzhou land invasion case, the Lanyuan hidden corpse case that ordered Yu Wang to bite him. Lou Zhijing, an important minister of the crown prince, died, and the murder case in the dance hall caused King Yu to lose two of the six generals...

It is said that one ebbs and another ebbs and flows, why do both sides lose in the end when they fight?Rather, it seems that the elegant young man who has exhausted all the tricks is behind the scenes to fuel the flames, making the two most powerful princes step by step into a disadvantage...

Then, support a new His Highness? !

Nihuang's heart was shocked for a moment, and she couldn't help remembering the name she had mentioned intuition when she was admiring the plum blossoms——

"King Jing"!

She took a deep breath, and her thoughts surged like a tide:

Who is Mei Changsu?Why did he come to Beijing?Why is there more or less his shadow behind so many things?Is he really supporting Prince Jing who has no foundation?If his guess was true, then why did he give up the flourishing King Yu and the Crown Prince and instead support Prince Jing?

Nihuang unconsciously turned her face to the side, and then her eyes slowly focused on the desk case. There was a handwritten letter by Jiangzuo Meilang, which said that Mu Qing would go to Lingyin Temple with a jade cicada in his hand to ask Mr. Zhou Xuanqing to come out of the mountain.For some reason, she stood up, took the thin piece of paper in her hand and looked at it again and again, and then, Nihuang slowly opened the box that carried the beautiful memories of the old days.

Under a surge of emotion that she didn't even know why, she compared the handwriting on the paper with the old letter from Lin Shu in the box. The fact showed a wry smile.

"I'm really crazy, but..."

Nihuang didn't finish her words, because she suddenly remembered the moment when Mei Changsu of Yingfenglou heard the words that Qi Wang Linshu had already died, and the kindness and tenderness in his eyes when he looked at Tingsheng.

Anything can deceive people, but only the heart can't deceive people!

That person is definitely related to the Red Flame Army, and also definitely related to the former Lin Shu!

On the outskirts of Jinling.

Zhou Xuanqing sized up Mr. Feng Ya in front of him, as if admiring his elegant demeanor, he showed the jade cicada, and asked with a smile: "This jade cicada, is it yours?"

"Yes."

"Who gave it to you?"

"Mr. Li Chongli."

After Zhou Xuanqing heard the satisfactory answer, he said with a little emotion: "Brother Li was in the high position of Taifu back then, but he treated the poor and the rich and the poor equally. He often set up teaching altars outside the king's city, and peaches and plums spread all over the world. Among his disciples, he is worthy of it." There are very few people with the word Gaotu', and I have seen all of these people..." He looked deeply into Mei Changsu's heart with his hale eyes, "...but I don't seem to know you."

Mei Changsu said with a faint smile: "The younger generation is not good at learning. Although they worshiped under Mr. Li, they have a good reputation as a mentor. Besides, they have been taught for a short time, so it is only natural that Mr. Zhou doesn't know much about it." Zhou Xuanqing listened After hearing his words, he stroked his beard and smiled, "Since the old friend gave you the jade cicada, it can be seen that you are his favorite student in his heart, so don't talk about the word 'not good at learning'."

He paused, gently stroked the old friend's belongings with his fingertips, and asked him if he knew Li Chong's intention to present Yuchan as a gift.

Mei Changsu replied: "It's difficult to fly when the dew is heavy, and the wind is too loud and easy to sink. No one believes in virtuousness, who will show his heart?"

Satisfied, Zhou Xuanqing smiled and said: "Love is moved by things, words are expressed by love. A leaf may greet you, and the sound of insects is enough to attract your heart. You know that Brother Li is in a high position and still lives with cicadas, and never forgets Bingxin's ambition I mean, I can naturally stand up to the jade cicada he gave me. This time I’m going back to Beijing, I’m not going to miss out, and it’s really a joy in my life to be able to have a chat with my old friend Gao Tu.”

After talking freely, Mei Changsu bowed to salute, Zhou Xuanqing took two steps, then suddenly turned to him and told him that there was a young disciple under Brother Li back then, although he came from a general with a high temperament, he was the most proud disciple of his old friend.Mei Changsu felt a pain in his heart, and couldn't help remembering the past when he became a disciple of Mr. Li Chong because of Jing Yu's talent in literature and martial arts. Let yourself linger in this world.

He supported Tingzhu, and couldn't help coughing in a low voice.

Li Gang hastily delivered the fox fur stove, and saw that the young prince Mu had already driven away with Mr. Zhou Xuanqing, and was about to ask the suzerain to go back to the mansion for a rest, when he suddenly heard Mei Changsu whisper, "She's here." .Li Gang raised his head hastily, but saw a heroic female leader of Yunnan Mu's Mansion running towards Jinling King City not far away.

Mei Changsu took the clean white handkerchief from Li Gang, gently wiped away the bright red corners of his mouth, his eyes were indifferent yet full of sadness.He quietly watched Nihuang come on horseback, and said softly: "Nihuang has become suspicious of me, and has been tracking down my news lately... I have a premonition that I might not be able to hide my identity..."

Li Gang couldn't help calling out "Suzerain" worriedly.

Mei Changsu smiled faintly: "Forget it, let's see through. After all, she or they will know my identity one day."

In the long pavilion, Nihuang forced out Mei Changsu's true identity.

As soon as the pressure of the 12 years of hard and helpless military career was relieved, she couldn't help crying, and threw herself into Mei Changsu's arms crying, calling "Brother Lin Shu" repeatedly like the young girl who was in love in the past.Mei Changsu gently stroked her long hair, and her eyes were already extremely sore, "I am no longer the Lin Shu I was back then..."

Nihuang tearfully said: "No, you are! Even if your appearance changes and the mark on your body disappears, but in my heart no matter what you become, you will always be my brother Lin Shu!"

She cried to see the disappearing mole marks on Mei Changsu's chest and arm, looked at him and said, "Brother Lin Shu, what have you been through these years? Why did you return to Jinling after so many years? Conceal your identity?"

Mei Changsu took a deep breath, wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and said seriously to her, "Nihuang, I will explain these things to you later, but now I want you to promise me that from now on, I, Lin Shu, will not be revealed. , even if Sister Dong, Jingyan, and Aunt Jing ask you to keep a secret for me, understand?"

Nihuang nodded, then looked at him with red eyes, "Sister Dong, I understand, but why did you hide it from Jingyan and Aunt Jing?"

Mei Changsu turned his face sideways, and said in a low voice, "What I'm planning can't involve any past, so if you're sincerely doing it for my own good, then hide the secret of my identity for me." Nihuang nodded vigorously, "Actually, I also I can guess that, brother Lin Shu, you returned to Jinling City because of the Chiyan case back then. You want to clean up the grievances of the Lin family in an open and honest manner, and clear the grievances for Uncle Lin, Aunt Lin, and Prince Qi... I, I will help You will also keep the secret for you, I just beg brother Lin Shu not to leave me alone again!"

As she spoke, she threw herself into his arms with tears in her eyes.

Mei Changsu seemed to be stunned for a moment, and after a long time, a sour and wry smile floated on the corner of his mouth, "But Nihuang...you know my intentions..."

The author has something to say:

The meaning of the jade cicada here is that the author did not follow the description in the TV series, but chose the verses in Haiyan’s original work~
