The king is not the king, the minister is not the minister

Outside the wall, the old and the new are welcome, the lights are bright, and it is very lively.

If you ask when the Zuo Xiangfu is the quietest, Yu Zhuo only thinks it is New Year's Eve.Fireworks and firecrackers, laughter, and laughter were blocked by the wall, lining the courtyard, and the sound of melting snow could be heard.

It's a pity that there is no one to share this silence.

"My lord, my lord?"

When the door opened, it was Xia Yubing.Yu Zhuo asked, "What are you doing here?"

The lights in the house were dim, and the room where the servant lived was completely dark. Even the door was opened by Yu Zhuo himself. Xia Yubing asked hesitantly, "Your Excellency is at home alone?"

"The rest of the people have gone to celebrate the new year, what's the matter with you?" There was nothing serious in Yu Zhuo's mansion, the book boy and cook at home were all from the capital, and their home was not far away, so they had a reunion dinner.

"The emperor summoned at Chengluan Palace and ordered his servants to report." Xia Yubing looked at Yu Zhuo cautiously, for fear that he would blame him.

"It's fifteen this year?"

"Back to my lord, it will be fifteen after the Chinese New Year."

"Well, I'm still a child." Yu Zhuo took out a small purse, which he asked someone to embroider, and used it to send off the children who paid New Year's greetings. "The lucky money for you, go home quickly."

"Thank you sir."

As night approached, heavy snow fell again, and the road was slippery and difficult to walk on. Yu Zhuo performed lightness kung fu, and didn't even leave the main entrance.

Xia Houzhan was standing under the eaves of the palace gate, when a man in white suddenly fell from the sky with a ghostly figure.Hakukage Fukiya always reminds people of a bad side.

"Big... my lord" the guard on duty was not scared out of his wits, and it took a while to recognize Zuo Xiang, and hurriedly shouted, "Master Zuo Xiang, you..."

"Your Majesty called urgently, and the minister came in a hurry, disturbed His Majesty, and hoped to forgive the crime." Yu Zhuo smiled faintly, unfolded the folding fan, and slapped it twice, in a daze to prevent Xia Houzhan from finding out the slightest flaw in punishing the crime.

Xia Houzhan looked left and right, trying to find a smug look on his face, so that he could see that this person intended to make him happy, but unfortunately Yu Zhuo didn't show any flaws.

"come in."

The earth dragon was burning in the palace, and it was very warm. The Empress Dowager Yan and the nanny hugged and teased the two little grandchildren together, smiling like peonies in April, and Xia Houzhan's usual cold and stern expression was softened a lot.

"Why did Your Majesty find a minister here?"

"It's said that I'm a loner, not as good as Mr. Zuo Xiang standing alone." Xia Houzhan waved his hand, and the maids filed in and served a sumptuous dinner. "Let's have a meal together."

Is this inviting him to a reunion dinner?Yu Zhuo looked out of the window, smiled more warmly, and said only: "I don't like excitement, it's okay to be alone."

"Sit down when Prime Minister Zuo is here, don't say that again." The queen mother asked the wet nurse to carry the grandson down.

The palace maid poured a glass of wine, and after the Empress Dowager ordered her to retreat, she put it in front of Yu Zhuo and asked, "Can Prime Minister Zuo drink?"

Yu Zhuo always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't find the root cause, and said regretfully: "Reporting to the Queen Mother, I am not good at drinking."

"It's okay, the glutinous rice wine in the south of the Yangtze River, you won't feel drunk at all if you taste it."

"Thank you Empress Dowager for giving me the wine." Yu Zhuo could only drink it. From the corner of his eye, he caught sight of Xia Houzhan, who just ate and drank without intending to interrupt.

"When Aijia was young, he practiced in Buddhist temples, and he also practiced in the palace. Zhan'er is also a boring character." Empress Dowager Yan smiled sadly, "Aijia has been pure in his life."

"There are so many maids and eunuchs in the palace, why can't the Empress Dowager find someone to chat with?"

"How can a court lady and eunuch give her a heart, Prime Minister Zuo, what do you think?"

Yu Zhuo realized that he really couldn't understand the Empress Dowager Yan more and more, but this superficial effort still had to be done, and even talked for most of the night, before leaving, the Empress Dowager was still in a good mood A lot has been rewarded.

Xia Houzhan has a good capacity for alcohol, and when Yu Zhuo saw that he drank several jugs of wine, he didn't even change his complexion. On the other hand, he can guarantee that if there is a mirror, he will be able to see his face glowing red.

"Left Prime Minister, do you want me to send someone to take you back?"

"No need..." Yu Zhuo felt like a fire was burning in his stomach, and his head was also dizzy.

"Left side?"

"Huh?" Before he knew it, Yu Zhuo had already lost his mind.

"Come here, help Prime Minister Zuo go to my bedroom." Xia Houzhan hurriedly caught him, preventing him from slipping to the ground and touching his body. Through his thin clothes, he could emit a burst of heat.

Sure enough, this person has deep inner strength and is not afraid of cold and heat.Xia Houzhan looked at his fingers calmly. The joints were clear, fair and slender, and there was a thin layer of calluses on the palm and tiger's mouth, which looked like it was worn out by practicing swords.

It seems that he has never seen the left minister wield a sword, hiding it deep enough.

Taking people to the bedroom with Eunuch Zhao, Xia Houzhan said: "Let Prime Minister Zuo have a good rest, I will go to the imperial study to rest."

Eunuch Zhao's face showed embarrassment, Xia Houzhan just glanced at him, and the former didn't dare to say anything. Unexpectedly, Yu Zhuo took his hand and muttered something in his mouth, with amazing strength.

"Hengqing, let go of your hand." Xia Houzhan called out twice, but it was useless. The strength on his wrist could be imagined, and Xia Houzhan suspected that he could even bruise him.

"Undress me. The prime minister and I are here to watch the night. Call me after midnight." Xia Houzhan said, Eunuch Zhao hurriedly took off his coat, but he still didn't let go of his hand.

It was said to be keeping the year old, but in fact Xia Houzhan had already fallen asleep. When he woke up, Eunuch Zhao hadn't come to call for someone, and the noise of fireworks and firecrackers was endless.

I don't know how long it took before Yu Zhuo opened his eyes, and the people around him said calmly, "It's already midnight, let's go outside together."

As soon as there was a little noise, many court ladies and eunuchs came out. Yu Zhuo was a little dizzy now, and knew that he was ashamed.

Yu Zhuo withdrew his hand, rubbed his temples, inadvertently caught a glimpse of the purple scratches on his wrist, got up quickly, straightened his clothes, and saluted, "I am really offended."

Xia Houzhan didn't like others to do most things for him. After putting on his formal attire, he suggested to Yu Zhuo: "It's late at night, it's cold, snowy and windy, so it's better to stay in the palace."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, minister..." Yu Zhuo was still hesitating what to say, when someone handed him a suit, he had no choice but to change into it, sighing in his heart, he really didn't understand what evil the Queen Mother had, so she insisted on drinking him.

"Let's go to Zhongming Temple with me." Xia Houzhan's eyes were shining brightly with the candlelight in his eyes.

"Why do you go to Zhongming Temple?" Yu Zhuo asked. This Zhongming Temple is next to Jingshan Mountain behind the imperial palace. It has always been a festive event. Members of the royal family went to worship. The emperor asked him to go together, so it is not proper. .

Of course, Xia Houzhan would not violate the legal system of his ancestors at this time, he just said: "Just wait for me." There are often some dignitaries praying in the outer hall of Zhongming Temple, but there is no conflict.

"The minister obeys the order."

In the middle of the night, Xiahouzhan climbed up to the high pavilion, looked at the fireworks, and remembered that when he saw Yu Zhuo for the first time, he was still an insignificant member of the tyrant. The military division said that this was a young man who was collecting firewood nearby, and let him go back.

He also remembered that the young military adviser smiled lightly and whispered in his ear: "Boy, your achievements in the future will not be inferior to that person."

Before Xia Houzhan followed his gaze to see the appearance of the person he was pointing at, a group of soldiers threw him out of the camp. Later, he vaguely guessed that the person the military adviser was talking about was the commander of the Jing army, who was later his "father".

From then on, he began to believe that there are gods and Buddhas in the world.

Not long after, the bell to say goodbye to the old and welcome the new came from the temple on time.
