Politics and Non-Politics - Desire

The mornings in late autumn always come very late, and the outside of the house is still a darker scene, while the servants inside the house are already busy in an orderly manner.Ying Zheng sat in front of the bronze mirror and let them tie their hair and arrange their heavy court clothes.

Meng Qi knocked on the door of Yingzheng's room and said respectfully, "My lord, everything is ready. Today is a holiday. I think it must be a rare leisure time to come to the court today."

Ying Zheng rubbed his beautiful phoenix eyes, "This king knows, you go down first."

After a while, Ying Zheng pushed open the door, and the sky had already turned pale, and the golden withered leaves all over the ground added a bit of poetry, a scene of golden wind and jade dew.Yingzheng walked straight up, stood erect by the marble table last night, looked at the golden withered leaves on the ground, and said loudly, "There is no need to sweep this area." The servants quickly bowed and bowed to say yes .

Ying Zheng then turned around and walked outside the gate of the mansion. Meng Qi was already waiting for him by the carriage frame. Seeing Ying Zheng approaching, he bowed to him with both hands. Ying Zheng waved his hands, "Let's go."

"Yes!"

The carriage quickly drove into the gate of the palace, Ying Zheng tilted his head and gave Meng Qi a few words in a low voice, then got out of the carriage, handed over his sword and changed to walking, the first thing he thought was to go to Zichen Palace to meet his father Win Bo.

The autumn sun is always chilly, shining on Yingzheng who is dressed in pro-dynasty clothes, and it also warms him a little bit, and he has absorbed nothing left of the sharp sword-like aura of the past. Duan looks like a modest gentleman.

Walking to the gate of Zichen Palace, he saw his father's trusted eunuch Li Zhongxian standing outside the door. Ying Zheng approached him slowly, with a warm smile on his face, "Eunuch Li, I haven't seen you for many years."

Li Zhongxian rubbed his eyes in disbelief, and said in amazement, "Oh, isn't this His Highness the Seventh Prince?" He bowed to greet him, with a sloppy body and a flattering face, like a pig that can speak human language, or was the other castrated Yes, her whole body is full of indescribable affectation, "Didn't you say that His Highness will arrive tomorrow? Why did you appear in the palace today?"

The smile on Yingzheng's face didn't diminish at all, but the razor-like brows couldn't help but twitched, "My king has been defending against enemies in the frontier all year round. I haven't seen my father and queen mother for many years. I miss him very much, so I travel day and night and dare not Just a moment's delay."

The smile on Li Zhongxian's fat face deepened, and he hurriedly said, "My lord is really filial, this servant will pass it on to you, please wait a moment."

"Excuse me, Eunuch Li." Ying Zheng's unassuming appearance made it impossible to find a single fault.

The father-son relationship between myself and my father is not weak. When I was young, I hugged him, but my father walked away, and my mother and concubine were not favored, so they died early. Until the age of 15, a cold sentence "" From now on, you can go to Weijiang City." Ying Zheng understood that the so-called "father emperor" is just a symbol, and there is no such thing as a father-son relationship.With nine sons under his knees, he did not send the elders to guard the border, but sent the seventh son Yingzheng who had no experience at all.Hearing this news, there are not many people who are secretly delighted, and the relationship between him and his brothers is also weak.

After Ying Bo heard this, he immediately declared Ying Zheng to meet him. Ying Zheng went up the stairs, walked in front of the palace gate, stopped slightly, took a deep breath calmly, and stepped into the palace.

Ying Zheng saw Ying Bo who was still practicing calligraphy on the imperial case, "I pay homage to my father." He knelt down on the ground and bowed to him.

"Get flat." Ying Bo put down his brush, no sadness or joy could be seen on his face.With a deep and indifferent voice from the seat, Ying Zheng stood up.

Ying Bo sized up Ying Zheng sitting next to him with scrutiny. His stature has grown a lot. His shoulders and arms are powerful but not at all less elegant. He is not as vulgar as an ordinary reckless man. His years of military career have added a touch of tenacity to him. With a breath of fresh air, and a look of humility and respect in his eyes, Ying Bo's eyes rarely showed a hint of admiration, "I am very aware of your achievements in Weijiang City, and I will reward you for your merits."

"Thank you, father, for your concern. These are just the duties of sons and ministers." Ying Zheng replied neither humble nor overbearing.

"I heard that you entered the city after the curfew last night." Ying Bo took a sip of tea without haste.

"On the way, I heard that the Empress Dowager was seriously ill, and I happened to meet a ginseng merchant who came out from Changbai Mountain. They had a real thousand-year-old ginseng in their hands, but it was best to take this ginseng within a month after being dug out. So my son I didn't dare to delay for a while on the road, so I rushed back to Beijing without stopping, so I had to come back during the curfew." Ying Zheng's face was full of worry, and he continued, "My minister used to defend the frontier against the enemy, and he could only return to Beijing when he was reporting on his duties. If you don’t show your filial piety in front of your father and empress dowager, you will feel ashamed, and if you delay the best time to take ginseng, you will be even more unfilial.”

Ying Bo heard that the dragon's heart was obviously happy, and he couldn't help showing a look of relief, "What crime is there for you to defend the country against the enemy, not to mention that you are also very filial. When it comes to filial piety, why don't you see Fusu? You should be three years old, didn't you bring back my little grandson?"

"Father, Fusu has been weak since he was a child. He has been ill for a few days after autumn, and he is stubborn. Besides, his mother's death day will be half a month later. His son and minister are on business, so they can't go to worship. I left Fusu in Weijiang City." Ying Zheng said helplessly.

"Concubine Lin Guifei personally chose this concubine for you. She was born noble and has a noble character. I am also very satisfied. It is a pity that she passed away after giving birth to Fusu. What a blessing." Ying Bo walked to the window Sighed.

When Ying Zheng heard this, he snorted coldly in his heart. He was extremely disdainful, but his face became more submissive.It's called giving marriage, but it's actually surveillance. Concubine Lin Gui did a good job for her unworthy second prince, and she stretched her hands to the frontier.

"Okay, I'm going to rest, you go and see the Queen Mother." Ying Bo rubbed his temples at the right time.

"Yes, my son will leave." Ying Zheng bowed and left the bedroom.Then I went to the Anshou Palace where the Empress Dowager lived, and presented a thousand-year-old ginseng. The Empress Dowager smiled more and more kindly, and made trouble with Ying Zheng's parents until noon, after lunch, before leaving the palace.

After returning to the mansion, Meng Qi was already waiting for him, "My subordinates have gained something."

"Oh? Let's hear it." Ying Zheng was very interested.

"Han Feizi is a beloved disciple of Xunzi, a great Confucianist in the world. He is well-known among the people. In terms of resourcefulness, no one can surpass him. He is even more skilled in formation, strategy, Qimen Dunjia, piano, chess, poetry and painting. I just heard that he is a man. Moody, but makes many friends, is also a strange person."

Hearing what Meng Qi said, Ying Zheng's eyes were full of excitement, "I'm very curious."

"My lord wants to make friends with this person?"

"Han Feizi is a great talent, and he can afford to be unparalleled in the world. It is my honor to be able to get along with him." Ying Zheng has always praised people with real talents and real learning.

"I heard that Han Feizi's hometown is also in the capital. He has been studying on the shore of Sanghai since he was young. I also heard that he traveled all over the world and made friends. It is really hard to figure out his whereabouts." Seeing Ying Zheng's high interest, Meng Qi still couldn't bear it. Just pour him a basin of cold water.

"I believe Han Fei and I will definitely meet," Ying Zheng said firmly.

Meng Qi felt a little helpless when he heard this, "Where did you get your confidence?"

"I don't know." Ying Zheng simply answered Meng Qi, turned around and went to the courtyard to practice swords.

Leaving Meng Qi alone in the room, holding his forehead dumbfounded, the lord is really... Thinking about it, he said it, does this imply that he should go to the sea of ​​people to "fish for Hanzi"?Meng Qi suddenly felt that his fate was ill-fated.

The author has something to say: The next chapter is officially launched.
