Am I a scumbag?

Yan Yuliang and Lan Wang stuck together for a full hour.

It is obvious that the emperor and the regent are working hard for the national economy and the people's livelihood.But after the calculation was over and they looked at each other and smiled, Yan Yuliang only had one word in his mind called "Wolf in Collusion".

That's all for him.

Lan Wang is such a noble, elegant and serious person, it is really wrong to be dragged into the water by him!

There are a few small things to do before the Flower Festival.

The first thing is that all officials in the capital will increase their salaries—all the ministries of the imperial court will increase their salaries by [-]%, and the Yulin Army, Lvliuying and Wuyiwei under the jurisdiction of King Lan will each increase by [-]%.

The move has many intentions.

The first is to appease Lan Wang's ministries.Since the monarch and his ministers are in harmony, some Lan Party members who have plans to "rebel" are bound to lose their ambitions and inevitably lose.

But since we are a family from now on, it is natural to give more salary to appease people's hearts, and by the way, to reflect the greatness of the emperor's grace.

As for giving the Lan party a little more salary than the Beijing officials, it is also intentional.

Officials only increase their salaries, not their wages.But the Imperial Forest Army, Lvliuying and Wuyiwei have increased salaries and living expenses.In this way, not only the officials have nothing to say, but the Lan party has to start to deal with the new work and there is no time to force Lai Lai.

The new work arranged by the imperial court for the Yulin Army and the Green Willow Camp is to bring supplies out of Beijing to send clothes, food and warmth to the poor, orphans and children in the surrounding areas.

Wu Yiwei is responsible for helping orphans and children in the capital.

This is not an easy job. In previous years, it was routinely done once in autumn and winter, and once in spring. The six departments coordinated and helped the Ministry of Rites to do it.But this year, the court said that the Ministry of Rites and Rituals was "too busy", and it troubled the army and Wu Yiwei.

"It's really bad luck that we are asked to do such errands!"

Hearing this, Wuyiwei Town Fusi Yamen couldn't help complaining.

But what about complaining?After all, the salary has been raised, and seeing the mission go badly after taking money from the imperial court, don't you feel ashamed to sit on a vegetarian meal?

Early in the morning, some of Zhuo Ziang's colleagues, the head of Wuyiwei Vinegar Shop, were cursing, but they still went to work one after another.

Zhuo Ziang was left to work on paperwork in the yamen.

Doing and doing, two lines of tears silently.

Lan Wang is really confused.

A generation of lords with outstanding military exploits, decisive killings, peerless elegance, and unattainable heights, who can block and kill gods on the battlefield, but why did they finally succumb to the dog emperor's side.

Or is Lan Wang Neili really a hopelessly sentimental? ? ?

But how could the dog emperor be so good, so good that a powerful official would not even want the country for him!

But King Lan himself loves the emperor but not the country. Many of his subordinates thought that following King Lan could make meritorious deeds, get promoted and make a fortune, and the dream of being a founding father was cut off just like that...

Zhuo Ziang was disappointed and lamented that he was young and sincerely made a mistake.

It was noon soon.

Wuyiwei Town Fusi has a public cook, and many colleagues come back to eat.

It's strange that my co-workers, who only scolded me in the morning for troublesome errands and were extremely reluctant, all looked completely different from the morning when they came back at noon, and the arrogance on their bodies was gone! ! !

"Hurry up and eat, and send it away after eating. There are more than [-] households in the afternoon who don't know if they can finish it."

"It must be delivered early, you don't know how pitiful those old people are. I met an old woman in the morning who had four sons, but when it was her turn to serve her, they pushed each other's way. Such unfilial piety is unheard of. Quite rich, one day I have to go and beat this person!"

"Well, fortunately, the imperial court will help her even if her children are unfilial. Since the third year of Jinyu, "kindness kindergartens" have been widely established in various places, and the orphans, widows, and old people have the county government to provide them with food and clothing."

"There are many poor people, and the imperial court regularly helps and takes care of them."

"I used to hear people talk about how the Luoyun Kingdom in the West Sea danced and danced, and the beauties were like clouds. But when you think about it carefully, the Great Xia is also very good. The previous few dynasties were not so good, but the past few years of Emperor Jinyu's reign, the world has indeed been stable. , well-ordered, educated young and depended on old..."

Zhuo Ziang listened with disapproval in his heart.

It's just a small favor!These colleagues are usually very smart, why do they start thinking about the court just because of this little favor from the court?

Where did the money for those widows and orphans come from?It's not like the rich family who robbed his family robbed the rich and gave to the poor!

He was also asked to deliver food to the poor in person.

It's just murderous.

When Zhuo Ziang got out of the car in the afternoon, he had already made up his mind - I will bear being forced to run errands, and I will leave after seeing off with a blank face!

result.

"Come on, young man, you have worked hard, sit down and rest quickly. The thing is so heavy, is it tiring to carry it?"

"Auntie doesn't have any good things. This is a bamboo basket weaved by myself. One for each person. You will definitely need it when you buy vegetables. Thank you for coming to us often and always sending so many things. You are all good boys. Take it and take it !"

"This...Grandma doesn't need it! We are here on business for the imperial court, so we can't accept your things. Even straw ones!"

"Take it, take it, don't be shy."

"Really don't need it! Don't do this! You don't need the freshly steamed sesame cake!"

"Take it, take it! Good boy!"

"Grandpa, you really don't need to give me food! These things are from the imperial court..."

Ahhh, no.Why did he speak for the court? !

Several families sent them down, and the kindness and enthusiasm of the old people almost overwhelmed the rich businessman's young master. He never expected that at the gate of the Kindergarten, he was hugged by a child who was smeared like a cat and a monkey and hugged his thigh with milky voice.

Before Zhuo Ziang came out, he originally thought that I was wearing Yun Jinsi's new clothes today, so don't be touched by the dirty brat!

"Big brother gave us food again, big brother is so kind."

Zhuo Ziang: What to do, I can't move! !

Why do dirty children have cute smiles like little cats?

The colleague who came with him took out caramel from his pocket and fed it.

Zhuo Ziang: Hurry up and share with me!If you divide me, you will still be a good brother!I also want to feed the little cat!

……

In the next few days, Zhuo Ziang finished delivering his things, but after he got off the job, he always went for a stroll in the Ci Kindergarten from time to time.

"Thank you Mr. Zhuo for donating new bedding and clothes on behalf of Zhuo's Vinegar Shop in Chengxi."

"Thank you Mr. Zhuo for donating two taels of silver to repair the roof."

"Thank you Mr. Zhuo for donating books in the name of Wuyiwei."

Zhuo Ziang really doesn't know how many people have leisure time.

He just can't see that the clothes of the little cats are old and the thatched huts they live in are bare.

This dog emperor, ghost spirit, ghost spirit, collects so much tax from the rich and doesn't allocate much money... Sigh, but the national treasury was indeed empty in the past few years when the South and North fought.

Then he will buy some new clothes for the little cat at his own expense, anyway, his family has opened 28 vinegar shops in the capital and they are not short of money!

Salesian Kindergartens are directly under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Household Affairs.

Zhuo Ziang didn't expect that his "benevolent deed" would soon spread among the court officials.

Court official: Hey, I didn't expect that group of Wuyiwei to spy and arrest people all day long, and occasionally they are quite humane.It doesn't look like it's completely hopeless.

So, three days before the Flower Festival.

In the most high-quality and cheap restaurant "Xinghualou" in the capital, there are black guards in black on one side and officials in white clothes and red belts on the other side.

Only one room remains.

The new Xiaoer in the store just came from another place to join relatives, and was confused about the situation, so he came up and asked with a smile: "The private room is so big, and you all look familiar, why don't we go together? We will give you a bottle of high-quality pear blossoms as a gift." white!"

People eating around: "..."

Isn't this a big death.

The whole world has heard that King Lan and the Emperor are at odds, and Xiaoer knows it too.If he knew that Wu Yiwei and court officials were actually in front of him, he would not dare to act like this.

However, who made him new here, think that the "uniforms" are all officials ordered by the imperial court, and he still thinks that the clothes on both sides are pretty, so he doesn't know what kind of officials they are.

Inside the restaurant, the atmosphere is on the verge of breaking out.

At the touch of a hair.

Immediately.

In the end, the two sides really sat down at the table in the private room!

"..."

"..."

It's a bit embarrassing, but we can still talk.

After all, no matter who you are, you have heard about "Jun Ming Chen Xian" recently, plus the various news about the emperor and Lan Wang's harmony and beauty from the Ministry of Rites and Tangquan Palace, as well as the upcoming Huachao Festival, which one can't chat?

"Speaking of which, I would also like to thank all the Wuyiwei brothers for their cooperation. Recently, the imperial court has hit the northern desert and cured the floods. Naturally, this year's Huachao Festival celebration will be more grand. The ministries are too busy, thank you for your support."

"Where, where, lonely and widowed children are indeed pitiful, and they should be."

"I heard that there is also a great benevolent person in Wuyiwei, who donated a lot of silver taels in the Kindergarten. It is really admirable to be so virtuous."

"Hahaha, he just happened to be here, Xiao Zhuo came out. Don't look at him young, this is the son of Zhuo's Vinegar Shop, come to Xiao Zhuo, quickly toast to all the adults, and go to your house to patronize business later!"

Zhuo Ziang: "..."

After drinking for three rounds, the private room became more lively.

"The previous things are all about responsibility and mutual understanding."

"Understood. It's just that in case the brothers commit crimes in the future, brother Wu Yiwei must remember the love they drank with Lihuabai together."

"Where is this? The world is stable now. Wuyiwei may be abolished someday. At that time, I still hope that the brothers in Chaozhong will stretch out their hands to do errands. We are all hardworking, and we guarantee that it will work everywhere. !"

Zhuo Ziang: "?!?!"

He drank too much that day and was depressed, and he went home paralyzed with fancy salted fish.

Mother: "Hahahahaha, I was tortured again."

Father: "I heard that Ang'er has done some good deeds recently. It can be seen that even if you are an anointed Liang Wan, if you can meet a century-old lord and virtuous minister to follow you, you can still hope to be on the right track."

……

In the capital, whether it is officials, Wuyiwei or rich merchants selling vinegar, there is a new atmosphere.

In the palace, Yan Yuliang held his face and sighed.

Why did no one bite the bait after he dropped the bait after his big fishing plan, so he was so lonely fishing?

Very lost.

A few days ago, the news of the harmony between the monarch and his ministers has spread throughout the capital, and with the increase in salary, the officialdom in Gyeonggi is harmonious.Yan Yuliang ordered people to investigate secretly to see if there were any rebellious officials and thieves who were stupid and bad, and continued to instigate chaos and conspiracy.

It turned out that Jingzhong did not find any abnormalities.

It's not that no one was found full of complaints, or it was found that someone had befriended Wu Yiwei wantonly with the intention of paving the way for speculation.

But as long as they know each other and know where they are going, Yan Yuliang will give him a great understanding, and he doesn't plan to settle accounts after the fall.

After all, it is not easy for everyone in the Great Xia that has been precarious for a hundred years.

Many people just want to live a good life. Whether they join the Imperial Forest Army, Wuyiwei, or take the imperial examination to be officials and do business, they are just making a living.

No one has a high foresight, who knows who will win the imperial party and Lan party in the end.

As for some speculative "businessmen" and vacillating officials, Yan Yuliang can also understand.Playing with the wind is also a choice, and sometimes it is understandable to survive.

He really didn't want to pursue it, and fight against his own people.

The dilapidation of Daxia's mountains and rivers is largely the result of hundreds of years of infighting among the aristocratic families in the court.How many territories have been swallowed up by foreigners.

To this day, the surrounding countries are still watching every day.What Yan Yuliang really wanted to catch was never his own country's fish, but a foreigner who was mixed in the Great Xia and who was not my race, and his heart must be different.

Ever since, the intelligence agencies were deliberately asked to release some false rumors that "it is not true, the emperor has been imprisoned in the Shangyuan Palace", to see if there are any fat-headed fish foolishly fooled.

As a result, several days passed without a single fish.

Isn't this frustrating?

"But it shouldn't be. Could it be that after I've been lying in bed for four months, the alien masters suddenly learned to be smart?"

"Where there are smart fish, there should also be stupid fish."

That day when King Ri Lan came back from court, a booklet was placed in front of Yan Yuliang.

"The big stupid fish that Ah Zhao wants."

Here comes the fish!

……

However, after opening the brochure, Yan Yuliang was still speechless for a while.

This is like fishing by the river and focusing on catching golden bastards, but in the end, a group of flying toads are caught.

Also lonely, it is puzzling.

Someone in Jiangxia in the south rebelled.

But the names of the people who conspired against him were too familiar.It's not some generals with heavy troops in their hands, nor some tyrannical people, but just a few days ago, Xi Xingjian wrote back and scolded them, with a dull face and aggrieved few "literati" with prominent family backgrounds!

The banner they played was "the Qing emperor's side".

It is true that King Lan rebelled and imprisoned the emperor in the Shangyuan Palace. They want to get rid of treacherous ministers and welcome back Shengjia!

There is no so-called "Shangyuan Palace" in Beijing at all, and the fake news of Shangyuan Palace is specially released for foreign spies.

This group of literati actually collaborated with other countries.

Indeed, Yan Yuliang has known for a long time that apart from spying on information, one of the things that foreign spies love to do is to spread rumors to incite ignorant people, and to make friends with some self-proclaimed elegance, can speak and draw, eat the royal food but double-decker literati , unite them to incite the ignorant people.

However, this group of literati complained and wrote anti-poetry all day long to incite others.

I... was actually incited?

This nature is serious.It doesn't matter if you stand in line with the Lan party or the imperial party, it's another matter to go abroad with your ass crooked!

However, Yan Yuliang re-read the script several times.Actually raised troops, seriously?

A dandy and rotten man who only talks on paper, but actually dares to fight, hahahahahaha, isn't this courting death?

"And there are two days before the Flower Festival, isn't this..."

Couldn't it be that, when I and King Lan climbed up the tower hand in hand, even the fig leaf on the "Qing Emperor's side" fell to the ground, and there was no way to end it?

It's too miserable, too miserable, I've never seen such a miserable rebel.

Even so, Yan Yuliang still pretended to ask: "Lan Lan thinks, how long will it take for this rebellion to be put down?"

King Lan: "Jiangxia is a long way away, and it will take at least seven or eight days to march from Huadu."

"...Therefore, it will take ten days for Dori to eliminate the rebels."

Ten days to suppress the rebellion, hahahahaha.

Lan Wang said this quite calmly, as if discussing what to eat today, casually.When he said this, he was by the window, his pair of light-colored pupils seemed calm, but they were still shining brightly under the sunlight.

Yan Yuliang: Heartbeat.

With such an unworldly general by my side, I am not afraid of rebellion, so I feel at ease!

But when I thought of being separated from the beauty for so many days, I was very reluctant.

Although the enemy is a vegetable this time, what if Lanlan gets injured accidentally, I will be so heartbroken to death.

Lan Wang: "It's not me."

"what?"

"The mere mob can be easily pacified by the subordinates, so why should I go there in person?!"

Yan Yuliang found it extremely novel.

For such a long time, King Lan has been prudent and polite, and except for the occasional uncontrollable emotions, he mostly keeps his temper.

It was the first time he saw the pride and conceit of "you don't even know how good I am" in his eyes.

But think about it, the Zhuang family is originally a family of generals, and Zhuang Qingqu is the only son of a single pass, so how could he not be powerful.

The biographies of the family only said that King Lan had fought in the South and the North, which is too general.Yan Yuliang felt that he should study King Lan's record carefully when he went back.

Lan Lan might be even more powerful than he thought?

……

Two days before the Huachao Festival, the Green Willow Camp set out for Jiangxia.

Some officials accompanied him, among them Xu Zizhen.The army is here to suppress the rebellion, and he is following the clues to investigate the instigators behind the rebellion, preparing to catch big fish.

Xu Zizhen didn't mind the hard work of Lu Yuan, but his only regret was that he couldn't watch the beautiful scenery of this flower dynasty with his own eyes, and he didn't know how His Majesty would ascend the tower.

Speaking of it, His Majesty is really unpredictable.

It seems that it is as immobile as a mountain all day long, but in the blink of an eye every time, everything is there.

This time too, I really don't know how he subdued King Lan, so that he could make that kind of powerful minister willing to return to power after holding the power!

The means are extraordinary, which makes people admire and admire.

On the day of the Huachao Festival, under the Drum Tower in the capital.

Yan Yuliang: "Hey wait a minute, where's the agreed red dress?!"

As a result, his ready-to-wear dresses are still very uninspired and golden.It's not that it's not gorgeous or beautiful, it's just like this every time.

He is only worthy of dressing like a yellow chicken every day?

Si Yifang: "Your Majesty is wise, according to the Great Xia Ritual System, His Majesty still has to wear bright yellow for the ceremony of the Flower Dynasty. However, Si Yifang has followed His Majesty's order to make a red dress for King Lan."

The banquet language is cool and energetic again.

King Lan was dressed in red, and his complexion was colorful black.

He had never worn red in his life, not once.It's a very unpopular person who often wears red.

"Lan Lan, you look so good in this!"

Yan Yuliang pulled King Lan's sleeves, his eyes were bright, and he was full of praise.

Really desperate.Lan Wang was originally born in a magnificent manner, but it is a pity that he has been tired and haggard and his complexion is not good, but this red body brings up the lack of complexion, and his appearance is unmatched for a while.

Seeing him happy and satisfied, but also feeling a little distressed.

"Xiao Zhuang, it's really pretty."

"If only I could keep doing this, from now on, I will definitely make you fatter, try to make you fatter, every day like this!"

He was incoherent, and at that moment he just wanted to call him "Xiaozhuang".

……

The Drum Tower is very high, and the brick stairs inside the building are very high and long.

The two climbed up level by level.The sun shines down through the small patio in bunches, reaching the corner, Yan Yuliang stops and teases Lan Wang.

He wants to hug him.

Some emotions without memory surfaced, he couldn't tell whether it was bitter or sweet.He just really wanted to hug him all of a sudden.

The brick walls inside the Drum Tower are very humid and cool because they do not see the sun all year round.

Lan Wang was pressed against the emperor's warmth, his back was slightly stiff: "Ah Zhao, you just like red so much."

Yan Yuliang: "Qingqing looks good in red, and I don't even look at other people's clothes."

Lan Wang's throat moved, but he didn't say anything in the end.

"Azhao. The auspicious time has come, let's go."

Yan Yuliang shook his head and refused to let go, as if he touched something that shouldn't be touched again.

What will it be?The phrase "you just like red so much" is really strange, so who still likes to wear red.

He tried his best to guess, and the next moment he was directly hugged by King Lan.

The handsome man was dressed in bright red with gold-woven dragon patterns. He hugged him tightly and climbed up the stairs. He carried him all the way to the vermilion door at the highest point before letting him down.

He was going to push open the door, Yan Yuliang hooked his cuff.

The slender fingers wore red rings, and they climbed up from the fingertips to clasp his fingers tightly.

"Azhao." Lan Wang said helplessly.

"I want to hold Xiaozhuang!"

"In the previous dynasty, Emperor Longqing and Prime Minister Gao Qing often held hands. The monarch and ministers were in harmony, and the people would only be happy."

"Azhao..."

"The book written by Gao Qing, the original words-"When the minister arrives, he holds the minister's coat with his hand, which is very strong", "One word, one foot, and one shakes the minister's hand", "Someone bullied me the previous day. The minister asked who it was Disrespectful, the ancestors have their own respect for the law, the emperor said to the minister'."

"Emperor Longqing in the previous dynasty was protected by Gao Qing. If someone bullies me in the future, I want Lan Lan to also protect me. I want to go out hand in hand and let the subjects and common people see it. In this way, if they want to bully me in the future, they will also weigh Lan Lan." Lan Tong disagrees."

"..."

This person has always quoted scriptures and has a photographic memory.Zhuang Qingqu lowered her eyes: "Who dares to bully..."

He couldn't finish his words.

Warm lips pressed against her.The emperor's body is full of the incense of laurel in the dress of the Siyifang.Sweet, with a hint of drunkenness.

After a moment of stiffness, Zhuang Qingqu hugged him like crazy.The festival was busy, and neither of them had anything to eat in the morning.Yan Yuliang's lips were stained with the fragrance of green plum tea, Lan Wang's eyes were reddish, and it was the first time he knew that plums tasted so sweet and delicious.

Yan Yuliang responded hard, pushing against the vermilion Drum Tower Gate.

now it's right.

That's right.

Everyone said that King Lan was decisive and merciless, but that was just a battlefield.

This person has always been extremely restrained and introverted when facing him.Not only words and deeds, but also many thoughts are suppressed in the same way.

Zhuang Qingqu is the regent and powerful minister, but he is also a son of an aristocratic family who has been strictly educated by a famous family that has followed for 300 years.

The young ladies of the famous family in Daxia have something wrong with them, many of them have been brought up to look repressed and unflappable.

Outstanding temperament, elegant and upright, knowledgeable and reasonable, gentle as jade.Joy and anger are invisible, and joy and sorrow are beyond words.

It's like having no desires or demands... Don't talk if you want to hug, don't talk if you want to kiss, don't talk when you're wronged, don't talk when you feel uncomfortable.

Yan Yuliang felt deeply distressed.

Fortunately, Lanlan in his house was not a flooded log, he would catch fire immediately after he tapped it.At this moment, the arms in the red clothes were hot, pressing him against the city gate.

One time is not enough, two times is not enough, Yan Yuliang's eyes have turned into a blinding light, his mind is full of the sound of auspicious bells, King Lan still doesn't let him go.

Occasionally taking a breath, those shallow eyes were planted with deep desire, and the next moment it was ups and downs again and again.

"Azhao."

Yan Yuliang was dumbfounded by the kiss, and Lan Wang was still buried tightly in his shoulder.

How many times have I fantasized about it.Perhaps, someday.

One day, he could hold this man's hand, hold him, really possess him.

The gate of the Drum Tower opened slowly, and it was bright.
