Ying Tianchang
Chapter 8
Chapter 8. All the talents compete for the top, and the courtiers talk and swallow
Regarding the matter of inviting guests to dinner, Zhong Yuning originally wanted to find a random restaurant, thinking that everyone would have a place to talk and clear up all misunderstandings.Lin Peng, on the other hand, has a good temperament, so he was not willing to slack off. He specially invited Mengou and Qinggong from the Shen family courtyard in Xicheng, and borrowed Qinggong's reputation in the industry to rent the most famous restaurant on Yuelian Lake. The bamboo boat is really carved with dragons and phoenixes, very delicate.Ren Hui is still not much better, but Shen Yue knows the difference at a glance. Although Yuelian Lake is engaged in this business, the two mother ships on the lake have been moored in Hong Kong for many years and cannot be rented out. This "White Lotus" is one of them.He thought to himself that Hailu is not stupid, why didn't he connect this situation with his father's prestige in this romantic field?
What's even more strange is that the other mother ship was also brightly lit with red candles. Although there was no one in sight, the banquet was in full swing.It was nearly June, and the heat was gradually rising, and Yuechun City was to the north. Although it was not too difficult, the lake was still steaming with heat, but on the two boats, there was a faint fragrance of wind and lotus, a cool pulse, and basins filled with ice were everywhere. Put it on hold, as if those precious ice cubes don't cost money.
When Ren and Chen arrived, they saw such a scene.There were no pedestrians at the pier, and it was obvious that martial law had already been imposed. The "Qingjiao" boat on the opposite side was surrounded by sergeants. "Who has such a battle?" Shen Yue was amazed, "The four young masters of the capital, Fan Lin, Ren Liao" three quarters of them gathered at his table today, in order to prevent things from getting too big to be dealt with, he Even Prince Rui's Prince Rui Ning's Mansion has invited to lead the battle, but he doesn't know which son or brother from Kyoto can be invited on the boat.
Ren Hui had long recognized that the people standing guard over there were Yamen officials from the Kyoto Prefecture and soldiers guarding the capital, and he couldn't help frowning. Seeing his unhappy face, Shen Yue suddenly felt blessed, "Could it be the one from the Eastern Palace who is playing in private again?" Fei Fei He hadn't met the prince before the Xuelou incident, but he made a bold guess because he thought that there were not many people who could accompany Chi Jun and Qin Feng. He didn't expect that it was only half a year, and he was lucky enough to meet again in private.
I should have guessed it a long time ago, if it's not the son of the courtier's family, it's naturally the one from the royal family.
Ren Hui spat lightly: "It's such a big show, what a fart it is to be subdued."
Although he came from a noble family, he has always lived in the army, his face is cold and kind, and he loves the soldiers most of all.Knowing that the soldiers guarding the shining painting boat dare not say anything, but they are all scolding their mothers in their hearts. They are forced to stand guard outside, but the nobles on the boat can sit around the beauties in the cool breeze.
Shen Yue didn't try to persuade him, he smiled naively, and started counting with his fingers, "For the prince, the two from Dali Temple and Honglu Temple will definitely come. It’s no wonder that the defense is so tight, although it’s not as good as the Imperial Palace, it’s almost as fast as the Feixue Tower.”
Ren Hui knew that there were thorns in his words, but he didn't point them out. He just continued to help him with the calculations: "I'm afraid Cui Yan, the Ministry of Rites, will come too."
Shen Yue asked with a pure and innocent face: "The prince treats guests, and the Privy Council won't come?"
Ren Hui shook his head lightly, "Deputy Envoy Hu and Deputy Envoy Gu are smart people, they won't come."
Shen Yue suddenly understood that His Majesty loves the prince's courtiers, but he doesn't like the prince's win over the military in order to control the military power, so the prince not only can't deliberately get close to the military, but also has to work hard to get rid of it. It seems that our big His Majesty Ying Chao's control over the military is indeed very strict.
People are coming together, and the boat is still moored in the port.Today's host was Zhong Yuning in name, but Lin Peng and the two girls were the first to come, so as soon as Ren and Chen boarded the boat, they saw Lin Peng half-embracing Qing Gong, eating snacks and gossiping at the Eight Immortals table .Shen Yue's face remained motionless, but he sighed inwardly, thinking that the color of Hailu's hat was really not that good.Among the few people, they had the best friendship, Zhong Yuning was busy with the service of several dancing girls, Lin Peng didn't come to greet them, he made a gesture, and a beautiful lady came to serve them.
It was the first time for Ren Hui to eat wine on a painted boat, and he looked around with great interest. He saw that although the carved beams and painted buildings are not complicated, the position of the boat is also very particular. Glittering, distant mountains and fresh water in the twilight, like a picture scroll.There are not many people here today. Although I rented a big boat, I only used a flower hall.But in this flower hall, there are nine heavy nanmu chairs. The gold threads on the back of the chairs run like fine seal scripts. The wood-carved landscape cup is old in color and luster, and it should be an old thing from the previous dynasty. The wine it contains is 20-year-old bamboo leaves.Ren Hui was used to seeing extravagant scenes, but he was still speechless and shook his head repeatedly.Lin Peng let go of the beautiful woman in front of him, and smiled slightly, "Don't be upset, Yansheng, this boat was not built by my family. Yuelian Lake is one of the largest gold selling caves in Kyoto, so it should be more spacious."
Ren Hui suppressed his unhappiness, and said lightly, "I'm not mad at your extravagance, but I just admire the craftsmanship of this boat builder. The furniture is like this, and the wood of the hull is obvious. No wonder this boat has a very deep draft. Although there is a breeze today, But the boat didn’t see any fluctuations.” He paused, “We can’t let Shi Heng pay the bill today.”
Lin Peng smiled, "He can't afford it even if he sells it. Qing Gong and Boss Peng of Yue Lian Lake have an old relationship. It's a friendship price."
Ren Hui's face turned pale, Qing Gong smiled slightly when he saw this, peeled a lotus seed and brought it to Lin Peng's mouth, "It's my duty to save you money."
Ren Hui talked to Lin Peng, but Shen Yue stared at Qing Gong beside him.Qing Gong usually treats people with gentleness and banter, and kindness with estrangement, using this unappetizing tune to satisfy the man's appetite, but today she showed a smile very generously.Shen Yue took a closer look and found that she had obviously dressed up carefully. She was wearing a plain white dress with several green lotus flowers embroidered on it, which were still in bloom, and matched with a pastel hairpin with lotus patterns on her bun. Cheng Qu, with silver silk patterned pendants on the white earlobes, and a noble air in the whole person, sitting next to the Lin Peng in the turban and green shirt is indeed a pair of people, but if it is replaced by Ren Hui's body with dragon pattern Purple shirt is undoubtedly more suitable.
Shen Yue was fascinated by the soft color of the red stone green, and a strange look flashed in his eyes.Qing Gong made a strategic mistake, she shouldn't be sitting in that position when she is dressed like this, Ren Hui will not stare at her friend's sweetheart like herself.
Just as he was calculating in his mind, Zhong Yuning managed to escape from the entanglement of several little girls, so he had time to ask in his heart: "Have you noticed the boat opposite?"
Lin Peng smiled lightly and didn't answer, Shen Yue said, "It's hard to ignore."
Now he needs an honest person to explain the doubts in everyone's mind, and Zhong Yuning happened to be an honest person, "I don't understand, it stands to reason that the crown prince is going to treat guests over there, Boss Peng will never have the guts to rent this Qinglian to us."
Shen Yue looked at Ren Hui with a confused face, but Ren Hui didn't seem to notice that both Qing Gong and Shen Yue were looking at him at this moment, and they only cared about joking with the beautiful woman in his arms. Shen Yue knew that although he was fierce, he usually He seemed to be lawless, but he always adhered to the principle of the military's non-interference in politics, and ignored the affairs of the court. Knowing that he could not be forced to speak, he could only talk to himself: "Xicheng and Baosheng haven't arrived yet, could it be that there is something wrong?" Things are delayed?"
"Baosheng will come." Ren Hui said simply, but with force, and the emotions that Shen Yue and Zhong Lin had aroused immediately settled down.Shen Yue laughed secretly, the implication of Ren Hui's words was obvious, it seemed that although he ignored political affairs, he still kept an eye on Fan Xicheng's abnormal reaction.Since he wanted to investigate, Fan Xicheng and He's family got so close recently, of course he couldn't hide it from him.
If the military really wanted to inquire about the news, it would naturally be much faster than the serious courtiers.
"That's right, the garrison of the capital is here, and the Imperial Army might have to move." Lin Peng seemed suspicious, "But even if Fan Bo is busy, he can't be busy with Xi Cheng."
Shen Yue narrowed his small eyes with a smile, the fire is burning well, let's add more firewood.
"I forgot to tell everyone that Xicheng has been promoted and is now the servant of the right."
Lin Peng wondered, "Where did you get the news? Why didn't Shi Heng hear about it?"
Shen Yue confessed honestly: "I was transferred to the Ministry of Industry yesterday. Xicheng's transfer order has not yet come down, but everyone in the Ministry already knows about it."
"Hehe!" Lin Peng was both surprised and delighted, "I thought Xicheng was promoted very fast, but I didn't expect you to be promising, Anren! Which division are you in?"
"Heyun Department." Shen Yue was a little embarrassed, his chubby cheeks trembled, and there was a rare bit of shame in his eyes.
Lin Peng opened his mouth wide, and was really taken aback. Although Xie Lulang and He Yunsi had only been promoted by half a level, the treatment was vastly different.Qing Gong was peeling the lotus pods for Lin Peng, and she was secretly startled when she heard the words, the river transportation is a fat job, the golden basin that many people dream of, she knew that the river transportation is indispensable for the land scraping plan, but she didn't expect the young master to personally do it. go out.Ren Hui couldn't help laughing, "Uncle Shen is really capable, how many people begged grandpa to tell grandma that he wants to enter the Heyun yamen, you are better off, eat pork in silence."
According to their friendship, there was no need to beat around the bush, since the Ren family is not a Qingshui yamen anyway.Shen Yue smiled all the way, expressing his joyful mood appropriately.While everyone was chatting, several high-grade sedan chairs were carried towards the bank of Yuelian Lake in the twilight. After a while, several important figures came in cars, followed by several tall horses, who should be military figures.
Ren Hui chatted with everyone for a few words, and made some naughty jokes with the beauty in his arms, then winked at Shen Yue.He has the best hearing and can hear the sound of carriages and horses from a distance. Shen Yue pretended not to know, and teased the beautiful woman on his own. I can't miss it." Zhong Lin and the others had long wanted to go out to meet the prince, what an honor it was to be able to meet the prince!However, if a literati is famous, it is not easy to flatter too much. Hearing what Ren Hui said, he immediately found a way! !hurried off the boat.Shen Yue's teeth were cold secretly, and he pulled down the corners of his raised eyebrows unconsciously, and then slowly went ashore.
So proud, in front of the imperial power, she is just cotton around her fingers.Fortunately, he still had hopes, which were all delusions.
If His Majesty the Emperor wants to deal with him one day, these friends will be the first to rush to arrest him.
There were no fewer than ten sedan chairs oncoming, the crown prince was not making an unannounced visit this time, the light yellow sedan chair was surrounded by six inner court guards with swords, and the carriages and horses at the back followed the light carriages, but they were all marked with family crests, Liao Chi, Qin Cui and others The family was within their expectations, and the family crest of the Fan Mansion was impressively painted on the two maroon sedan chairs afterwards!
Without a word of notice, Fan Xicheng's sedan chair just appeared in the ranks of the prince and his party!
"What a Fan Xicheng who turned from darkness to light!" Lin Peng cursed in a low voice, Qing Gong hurriedly covered his mouth and pulled him back a step.Although Zhong Yuning didn't speak, his usually clear eyes dimmed a bit.Only Ren Hui remained uncharacteristically respectful and stood beside the road with his head bowed.Shen Yue showed just the right amount of surprise and anger, but secretly sneered in his heart. He ran faster than anyone just now, and now he is pretending to be arrogant.After ten years of hard work, it was only to sell to the emperor's family, and the prince and his friends treated guests at the same time, so it was a matter of course to accompany the prince.Holding the two extremely thick thighs of the Liao family and the prince, the bright future is just around the corner, what's the problem?Unexpectedly, after several years, Lin Peng is still so childish.
Shi Heng understood a lot.
Of course, Ren Hui was the most sober, still Ren Hui.
This sobriety is based on the Ren family's pure loyalty to the royal family and their absolute confidence in their own strength, so they don't feel humiliated, and they don't need to flatter them.This loyalty will not change because of dissatisfaction with the superior.Shen Yue sighed secretly, Xuntian's power and loyal attitude, no wonder his parents insisted on maintaining a good relationship with the Ren family by playing both soft and hard ways.
But it doesn't matter, it is extremely difficult to eliminate the Ren family, and he has long been mentally prepared for this.
He finally realized that no matter how much Ren Hui knew and what attitude he had, it was impossible to affect the Ren family's position of being a loyal slave. Since Mr. Ren was the one who knew everything, the existence of the Ren family became his greatest threat.
He didn't expect to swallow the Ren family in one fell swoop, but only hoped to stir up the conflicts between the royal family and the Ren family, Mr. Ren and Ren Hui at the same time, and create a crack in this huge net by using two prongs.
Just as Shen Yue judged, Ren Hui was very clear-headed, so he was not very angry at Fan Xicheng's so-called "betrayal", and he expected Su Baosheng to lead the imperial army to deploy defenses.All he thought about was one question, which was just mentioned by the honest Zhong Yuning: Why did the prince entertain guests at the bank of Yuelian Lake today without warning?Why did the so-called Boss Peng dare to rent the white lotus to them knowing that the crown prince rented Qingjiao?Why is the security around here so tight, but no one stopped them from boarding the boat?
Shen Yue, who had been watching him carefully, saw his ugly face, and knew that Ren Hui had seen things very well and had already found the key to the matter, but unfortunately he couldn't think of the reason.
There are at most ten people who know that Lin Zhongcheng, who is upright and upright at Yushitai, is the biggest brothel owner in the world.
There are no more than five people who know that Lin Zhongcheng has a huge news network and military power.
And there is only one person who knows that the world's largest brothel owner and arms dealer has surrendered to his Young Master Shen.
It was Young Master Shen himself.
Even Qing Gong didn't know about it, she thought that letting her escape safely was a deal between Shen Yue and Lin Zhongcheng, but she didn't know that her former boss had already "abandoned the dark and turned to the bright".
Shen Yue has always felt ashamed that his ability to plan conspiracies is not as good as Yining's, but today, he is very proud of himself.
He only hoped that the Ren family's killer must be more courageous.
The sedan chair curtain was lifted, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince dressed in light yellow got off the sedan chair gracefully. When he raised his eyes, he saw Ren Shen and others standing at the pier to meet him. The Crown Prince was in a good mood. In today's power, this kind of respect is exactly what he needs.
The three of Ren, Shenzhong and others saluted first, Lin Peng hesitated for a moment, then bowed down, the prince smiled and said: "Today I am also out to play, so there is no need to be formal." He stretched out his hand to help him up, and said: "I have heard that Ren Lin, Fan Liao, a talented scholar in Beijing, The four are the leaders, today Mr. Liao and Fan Shilang are also with me, why don't we all join the boat, so that we can learn about the way of poetry and prose." Everyone was terrified, but they couldn't help showing joy, only Shen Yue scolded his mother in his stomach, he didn't feel sorry for the money for chartering the boat, but he spent so much effort to create this situation, not for eating with that rabbit master Liao Jinxiu.
Different from Ren Hui, he has always been the most careful person, he doesn't care which swan meat the prince wants to eat, since Liao Jinxiu dares to let him have one, he will die in the dark.
He didn't even think about it, if it wasn't for Liao Jinxiu's gamble, how could he have justifiably entered the imperial examination?Although this anger is a bit unreasonable, but isn't it true that young people are unreasonable?
After a while, the sedan chairs behind also stopped one after another, and everyone in the two boats also knew that the prince had arrived, so they hurried out to meet him. , the obedient dragon Dong, Qing Gong is a big weapon he wants to put beside Ren Hui, what if the prince asks him to leave?Thinking about it again, this is Da Yingchao's future master. Comparing the two, it's still a good deal to become the crown prince.What's more, the prince is also a good-looking talent, so this deal is not a loss no matter what.So ignoring Qing Gong's resentful eyes, Shen Yue made a circle with her middle finger and slightly flicked her little finger towards the prince, signaling her to try her best to please him.
A group of people stood between the two boats and were about to go in to talk when another carriage slowly approached.
The prince looked back curiously, wondering who else was more airy than himself and arrived later than him?
Everyone also looked over, and saw a rich and handsome young man getting off the carriage. He was full of aura and calm in manner. He was not wearing any clothes to indicate his identity, but everyone recognized him naturally, so it was a little surprising.
The person who came was none other than Li Ruining, Prince Rui's son. Prince Rui doesn't care about political affairs, but this son is also quite idle. He likes to grow flowers and weeds, and never has much dealings with courtiers.Therefore, although his status is noble and he is of a young lineage, the prince did not think of trying to win the support of this cousin.
The prince looked around at the crowd, smiled slightly, and saluted the prince first.
The crown prince was unexpectedly surprised. With him as the leader, everyone hurriedly saluted the crown prince.
Although Shen Yue is also a former son-in-law-to-be, but here are the most valuable people in the younger generation, there is no room for him to speak, so he kept the silence that should be kept at this time, waiting for the prince to speak.The son secretly cursed in his heart, your mother wants me to help you to the top, but you are lucky, you will not be able to get ahead, so let me make it difficult, he walked up to Shen Yue without explaining, and said with a smile: "You dragged me out to drink with shamelessness, why? Now it has become a saw-jawed gourd?"
His tone was blunt, but his expression was very friendly, like an old friend for many years.Everyone let out a cry, they were all secretly startled, this Shen Yue is so capable, even Prince Rui's son was invited over.Shen Yue complained secretly, there were so many ways to help, but Li Ruining wanted to push him to the front desk.
He didn't know how to respond, so he had to put on his usual demented smile, and promised obediently, "It's not too hot outside, do you want to go in first?" The son was stunned, and then laughed out loud, "Good for you, Shen Anren, you are incompetent." The disciples dressed up very well, and they really sang and read to make a proof.He bowed to the prince and boarded the Qingjiao boat.
After the crown prince spoke, Shen Yue naturally called the girls to change the boat. The dancer, who was doing nothing, asked in a daze, "Then what about the dishes we prepared? The dancing outfits are also on the boat." Shen Yue Yue Jingxin, who has never seen such an idiot before, felt speechless, stroked his forehead and sighed, "Would you be able to starve to death, the crown prince?"
The layout of the two ships of Bailian Qingjiao is almost identical, but the standards of the girls serving on the boats are obviously different. Although they are all beautiful women, the ones here have obviously received special training, all of them are gentle and silent, without squinting.
The boat sailed and the banquet started. The girls were quiet and speechless, and began to serve the guests on the tables. Songs and dances were also performed next, but although they had undergone special training, there were so many young men and women in front of them.The hearts of the girls were still unstoppably nervous, the girls serving the wine were from the Qingjiao boat, they were not that bad, but the dancers brought by Shen Yue from the boat were all pale and stiff.
Hailu's father's ability to train women is really first-class, Shen Yue knows his subordinates' acting skills, secretly pretending to be good.He took another look at Qing Gong who was sitting next to the prince, and sure enough, his jaw was retracted, his wrist was trembling, his expression shy and timid, he looked like a restrained and frightened little rabbit.My luck is really good, Shen Yue is very satisfied with Qing Gong's performance, this girl is so smart, she will be covered up by a scapegoat in the future, and the dark wind blows around her pillow, given time, why worry about whether the family will not fail or the big things will not happen?
He didn't know that these women were not lying, but were really scared.He himself was born in the royal family. Although he lived in danger and fear since he was a child, he never felt awe of the royal family in his bones.What he fears the most in the capital is the old man of the Ren family.
Originally, in this flower hall, Shen Yue was the only one who had the status to talk to the crown prince at the same level.
The wonderful thing is that even though he was still confused about his true identity, Shen Yue dared to glance around while bowing his head to drink, observing the expressions of the upstarts, which made Ren Hui at the other table terrified.He is the lord of a prince, with a transcendent status. Although he respects etiquette, he is not too worried about being criticized by others. However, Zhong Lin and Shen are not qualified to sit here anyway. If they don't protect them, once they leave What a mistake, you don't have to mess around in this capital in the future.
Not only Zhong Yuning and other small officials, but also Liao Jinxiu and Qin Feng were at a loss.They originally planned to use today's gathering as a symbol of the rise of the younger generation, but the participation of Prince Rui and Ren Hui was both a surprise and a shock to them, especially the friendship between Shen Yue and Prince Rui's son was beyond them. expected.
Got too much information today.
And the few people with careful thoughts were guessing the purpose of Ren Hui's treat on the neighboring ship.No one doubted that the master was not Ren Hui. From their point of view, even if Shen Yue had the support of Prince Rui's Mansion, it was still not enough compared to the Ren family, the most powerful family in the military.As for the others, they didn't think about it at all.
This is what Shen Yue wanted.
The guard in charge of the defense is the Kyoto garrison, and the grandson of Ren's parents is on board. If the prince has any minor safety problems at this time, the charge of dereliction of duty is a certainty.If you play another game of assassinating the prince, it will be enough for the Ren family to be trampled on [-] feet and never stand up again.
Of course, he won't do things like this.He also knew that if the dog jumped the wall in a hurry, Mr. Ren was really in a hurry, and the other party would definitely throw out his status as a Weitz nobleman.
He just wanted to weaken some emperors' trust in the Ren family, and find a proper reason for the next power cut.
Shen Yue felt that she really understood the holy will too much.
If the prince chooses to treat guests at the Green Orange Building or the Hongchun Building, it may be difficult to arrange, but the beauty of the night view of Yuelian Lake was delivered to the Prince's ear by Shen Yue after seventeen or eighteen turns.Now that the boat is standing in the lake, there is no one in the field, and the soldiers on the shore are unable to rescue them. Isn't it a place made in heaven to assassinate?
He believed that his subordinates could cause a big mess, and he also believed that the Witz people would not miss this opportunity for chaos.He even hoped that the assassins of the Ren family would take advantage of this muddy water to make a profit out of the fire.
They had to come because he had been absent from work for five days straight and hadn't left the house at all.
There are all civil servants in this battle, and only Ren Hui is capable of rescuing the prince.
But if he and the prince were in danger at the same time, which one would Ren Hui save first?
He also wanted to know the answer.
Faintly, Shen Yue suppressed that glimmer of expectation.
There is no turning back when he opened the bow. Could it be that he is still looking for a reason for himself to show mercy to the Ren family?
On such an occasion today, I am naturally embarrassed to yell at the beautiful woman and talk about nasty jokes at the beginning, especially when the crown prince said just now that he wanted to discuss literary skills. Sighing inwardly, he lowered his head and continued to drink, thinking to himself that luckily it was only mid-May and the weather wasn't too hot, otherwise he wouldn't dare to hug a beautiful woman at the banquet, and he would listen to sour words, and be steamed by the heat, he would really become Vinegar potato shreds.
Especially Lin Peng and Zhong Yuning seemed to be really frightened by the battle. One drank freely while the other ate vegetables. Except for reciting a poem when the prince asked about him, he didn't seem to raise his head.Shen Yue was full of excitement at this time, he had long ignored Lin Zhong's previous flattery, and just wanted to find someone to make jokes and relax his overactive nerves.So seeing them nervous, they felt a little guilty. Lin Peng didn't say anything, they were a prodigal son, and when he sent the Qing bow to the prince, he expected that he would have a fit, but Zhong Yuning was still a sixth-rank petty official. Why still can't say a good word?It doesn't matter if you don't know how to flatter, but if you make such a fuss, this Wusha may be in danger.
The literati are sour, but the wits are so sour.Today, the four great talents are all present, although one of them is drinking, after all, there are still three left. Ren Hui has always been impatient with such occasions, and only wrote two symbolic songs, but after all, there are still two shameless bastards. Yue secretly slandered, and then watched Fan Liao and the two of them come and go, it was a rhetoric that was full of words, really praised and flattered together, the hymn was the same as the dog's leg, only the prince Xiaolong was very angry Yue, nodded again and again.Seeing that the prince was in a good mood, Liao Jinxiu boldly suggested, "Shangshu Shen is stunningly beautiful, and the tiger father has no dogs. Since Mr. Shen is the second place in this year's list, his literary talents must be good. Why not let Mr. Shen compose a poem to help the wine?"
What he said was very tactful, Prince Ruining never mentioned Shen Yue after he came to the table, everyone was still thinking about how to treat each other, they had already ignored him for a while, and just found an excuse to get close to him.Naturally, it is unavoidable to praise Mr. Liao, the new champion, for his gentleness and modesty, and his literary talent.Prince Ruining even nodded with a smile, enjoying watching the play.
It's a pity that his good intentions and promises are not very useful, that old fox father wants to make out with the Liao family, he is not the dough in Mr. Liao's hands.Shen Yue looks like a clown on the surface, but his heart is extremely proud. After a long time of humming, he admits that he can't learn enough, and would rather be punished with three glasses of wine than write poetry.Liao Jinxiu's face was dull and he was very unhappy. He paved the steps for Shen Yue twice, the last time was for the Ren family, and this time he was the son of the eldest son. Unexpectedly, that kid would always be ungrateful.Immediately sneered and said: "It is said that Uncle Shen and Aunt Yun are people who are not born in the world. I didn't expect Brother An to be so disrespectful to the family. Could it be true that as the rumors say, he is only the second generation ancestor who borrowed the shadow of his father?"
The words were harsh, and the scene was a bit cold for a while, Liao Jinxiu took a mouthful of Uncle Shen Anren, and he clasped his personal provocations instead of courtiers' disputes. Saying so, the chubby baby's fat face trembled slightly, and he looked like a good-natured and cheerful Fu.
But there was still a bit of coldness in his bones.
Liao Jinxiu didn't take it seriously but took it as humiliation. Ren Hui was also full of anger. If it was in the past, he would have to fix Liao Jinxiu and take the opportunity to make Shen Yue show off. However, it is not like before, so he endured it Until now, but seeing Shen Yue being humiliated at this moment, he finally couldn't hold back, Shen Sheng said to the prince next to him: "Can I borrow a pen and paper?" , the prince had long wanted to watch this excitement, he waved his hand to the attendant who was kneeling behind him with a smile, and immediately offered a pen and paper.With a wave of Ren Hui's pen, he threw out a six-foot-long declaration dripping with ink.The attendant was able to go out with the son, so he was quick-witted, and immediately read aloud:
The jizi sang and sang, the iron array and the cloud leveled.
The Han family prostituted Yao generals and galloped through the Huns' court.
The young man fights fiercely, and his anger is the king's sign.
The male halberd rubs against the sun, and the long sword breaks the meteor.
Go out of Feihu Sai early in the morning, and stay in the city in the evening.
The captive rode on the four mountains, Hu Chen was shocked for thousands of miles.
There was a hissing sound, and the sound of horn blowing boiled the sky.
The left is broken and the Han formation is broken, and the right is broken and the slaughter soldiers.
Running rampant in the desert, drinking horses and clearing the sea.
Long trees are dry and colorless, sand and grass are not evergreen.
Le Shi Yanran said, Kai returned to Chang'an Pavilion.
The county magistrate knows that I am healthy, and there is no one in the world who is not inclined.
But if the strong are destroyed, why do you need to be the first to succeed?
When the husband is determined, he is the ancient hero alone.
As soon as this poem came out, all the audience was shocked. The previous generation of "Xia Yue Yang Minghui" and "Taiyue Mountain Peak Shengze Chang" could not help but fall into desperation. , "Hua Xing Is Out of the Clouds" is also far behind.The crown prince praised repeatedly: "The words are powerful but the emotion is shocking. You really are a domineering general! Yan Sheng is both civil and military, and he really deserves the name of a genius! It is my great blessing to have such a good minister in the court." Someone took the lead, and everyone was full of praise, Although Liao Jinxiu commented in a low voice, "Don't avoid danger, it hurts the tone of elegance", but everyone pretended that they hadn't heard of it.Prince Rui Ning nodded with a smile and looked at Ren Hui rather jokingly, thinking that this is obviously a work of yours in the army. It is too fake for you to bring out your own poems while trying to find a place for Shen Yue.
Ren Hui snorted, and said calmly: "This is An Ren's farewell poem when Yan Sheng first went to the border. Although it was an old work when he was young, Yan Sheng couldn't remember the others at the moment. Mr. Liao previously commented on Uncle Shen's amazing beauty, Anren's family history must have a great talent, and this poem should be worthy of it."
As soon as this remark came out, everyone was in an uproar, and what they looked at Shen Yue was no longer the eyes waiting to see a joke, but the eyes full of puzzlement and shock.Although this big exam dispelled part of Shen Yue's notoriety, everyone had long held prejudices and always believed that Shen's father and son teamed up to cheat in the examination room. In addition, Shen Yue's lack of outstanding performance since high school deepened this impression.Looking at this poem again, it really deserves His Majesty's comment of "sharpness and rhyme".Compared with today's poems, it is like pulling out shrubs of green pine, and reflecting dust and sand of white jade, which is not enough to describe its nobility.
What's more, people with good deeds did the math and found that, as Ren Hui said, this poem was written by Shen Yue when he was 12 years old. Can write such poems at the age of 12, isn't Shen Yue a genius?
Fortunately, the old Shen family already has a genius, so the psychological defense line of the young masters is relatively high.Some of the more straightforward ones even shook their heads, clapped their hands and sang.Shen Yue let out a dry laugh, embarrassed in his heart, this was obviously written by Ren Hui for fun after he set off on the expedition, so why is it Lao Shizi's farewell work?It doesn't count that Ren Hui stole poems from his study, and even threw them out in front of everyone. How could this give him a chance to hide his strength in the future?
He sighed awkwardly, pretending to be shy, and bowed his hands to the prince's table.
Anyway, this name has to be issued, early death and early death, the previous imperial examination was not enough, so let's continue to issue.
Thinking about it this way, Ren Hui's smug smile became less hateful.
But even though Shen Yue has a thick skin and a big stomach, he couldn't hold back the rounds of bombardment from everyone's wine glasses and compliments. When the toast was over and he returned to the two tables, his brain could still hold on, but his belly was about to burst, and he couldn't stop drinking. If not, go to the rear cabin to find the toilet under the guidance of the beauty.

---------------------------------
Regarding the matter of inviting guests to dinner, Zhong Yuning originally wanted to find a random restaurant, thinking that everyone would have a place to talk and clear up all misunderstandings.Lin Peng, on the other hand, has a good temperament, so he was not willing to slack off. He specially invited Mengou and Qinggong from the Shen family courtyard in Xicheng, and borrowed Qinggong's reputation in the industry to rent the most famous restaurant on Yuelian Lake. The bamboo boat is really carved with dragons and phoenixes, very delicate.Ren Hui is still not much better, but Shen Yue knows the difference at a glance. Although Yuelian Lake is engaged in this business, the two mother ships on the lake have been moored in Hong Kong for many years and cannot be rented out. This "White Lotus" is one of them.He thought to himself that Hailu is not stupid, why didn't he connect this situation with his father's prestige in this romantic field?
What's even more strange is that the other mother ship was also brightly lit with red candles. Although there was no one in sight, the banquet was in full swing.It was nearly June, and the heat was gradually rising, and Yuechun City was to the north. Although it was not too difficult, the lake was still steaming with heat, but on the two boats, there was a faint fragrance of wind and lotus, a cool pulse, and basins filled with ice were everywhere. Put it on hold, as if those precious ice cubes don't cost money.
When Ren and Chen arrived, they saw such a scene.There were no pedestrians at the pier, and it was obvious that martial law had already been imposed. The "Qingjiao" boat on the opposite side was surrounded by sergeants. "Who has such a battle?" Shen Yue was amazed, "The four young masters of the capital, Fan Lin, Ren Liao" three quarters of them gathered at his table today, in order to prevent things from getting too big to be dealt with, he Even Prince Rui's Prince Rui Ning's Mansion has invited to lead the battle, but he doesn't know which son or brother from Kyoto can be invited on the boat.
Ren Hui had long recognized that the people standing guard over there were Yamen officials from the Kyoto Prefecture and soldiers guarding the capital, and he couldn't help frowning. Seeing his unhappy face, Shen Yue suddenly felt blessed, "Could it be the one from the Eastern Palace who is playing in private again?" Fei Fei He hadn't met the prince before the Xuelou incident, but he made a bold guess because he thought that there were not many people who could accompany Chi Jun and Qin Feng. He didn't expect that it was only half a year, and he was lucky enough to meet again in private.
I should have guessed it a long time ago, if it's not the son of the courtier's family, it's naturally the one from the royal family.
Ren Hui spat lightly: "It's such a big show, what a fart it is to be subdued."
Although he came from a noble family, he has always lived in the army, his face is cold and kind, and he loves the soldiers most of all.Knowing that the soldiers guarding the shining painting boat dare not say anything, but they are all scolding their mothers in their hearts. They are forced to stand guard outside, but the nobles on the boat can sit around the beauties in the cool breeze.
Shen Yue didn't try to persuade him, he smiled naively, and started counting with his fingers, "For the prince, the two from Dali Temple and Honglu Temple will definitely come. It’s no wonder that the defense is so tight, although it’s not as good as the Imperial Palace, it’s almost as fast as the Feixue Tower.”
Ren Hui knew that there were thorns in his words, but he didn't point them out. He just continued to help him with the calculations: "I'm afraid Cui Yan, the Ministry of Rites, will come too."
Shen Yue asked with a pure and innocent face: "The prince treats guests, and the Privy Council won't come?"
Ren Hui shook his head lightly, "Deputy Envoy Hu and Deputy Envoy Gu are smart people, they won't come."
Shen Yue suddenly understood that His Majesty loves the prince's courtiers, but he doesn't like the prince's win over the military in order to control the military power, so the prince not only can't deliberately get close to the military, but also has to work hard to get rid of it. It seems that our big His Majesty Ying Chao's control over the military is indeed very strict.
People are coming together, and the boat is still moored in the port.Today's host was Zhong Yuning in name, but Lin Peng and the two girls were the first to come, so as soon as Ren and Chen boarded the boat, they saw Lin Peng half-embracing Qing Gong, eating snacks and gossiping at the Eight Immortals table .Shen Yue's face remained motionless, but he sighed inwardly, thinking that the color of Hailu's hat was really not that good.Among the few people, they had the best friendship, Zhong Yuning was busy with the service of several dancing girls, Lin Peng didn't come to greet them, he made a gesture, and a beautiful lady came to serve them.
It was the first time for Ren Hui to eat wine on a painted boat, and he looked around with great interest. He saw that although the carved beams and painted buildings are not complicated, the position of the boat is also very particular. Glittering, distant mountains and fresh water in the twilight, like a picture scroll.There are not many people here today. Although I rented a big boat, I only used a flower hall.But in this flower hall, there are nine heavy nanmu chairs. The gold threads on the back of the chairs run like fine seal scripts. The wood-carved landscape cup is old in color and luster, and it should be an old thing from the previous dynasty. The wine it contains is 20-year-old bamboo leaves.Ren Hui was used to seeing extravagant scenes, but he was still speechless and shook his head repeatedly.Lin Peng let go of the beautiful woman in front of him, and smiled slightly, "Don't be upset, Yansheng, this boat was not built by my family. Yuelian Lake is one of the largest gold selling caves in Kyoto, so it should be more spacious."
Ren Hui suppressed his unhappiness, and said lightly, "I'm not mad at your extravagance, but I just admire the craftsmanship of this boat builder. The furniture is like this, and the wood of the hull is obvious. No wonder this boat has a very deep draft. Although there is a breeze today, But the boat didn’t see any fluctuations.” He paused, “We can’t let Shi Heng pay the bill today.”
Lin Peng smiled, "He can't afford it even if he sells it. Qing Gong and Boss Peng of Yue Lian Lake have an old relationship. It's a friendship price."
Ren Hui's face turned pale, Qing Gong smiled slightly when he saw this, peeled a lotus seed and brought it to Lin Peng's mouth, "It's my duty to save you money."
Ren Hui talked to Lin Peng, but Shen Yue stared at Qing Gong beside him.Qing Gong usually treats people with gentleness and banter, and kindness with estrangement, using this unappetizing tune to satisfy the man's appetite, but today she showed a smile very generously.Shen Yue took a closer look and found that she had obviously dressed up carefully. She was wearing a plain white dress with several green lotus flowers embroidered on it, which were still in bloom, and matched with a pastel hairpin with lotus patterns on her bun. Cheng Qu, with silver silk patterned pendants on the white earlobes, and a noble air in the whole person, sitting next to the Lin Peng in the turban and green shirt is indeed a pair of people, but if it is replaced by Ren Hui's body with dragon pattern Purple shirt is undoubtedly more suitable.
Shen Yue was fascinated by the soft color of the red stone green, and a strange look flashed in his eyes.Qing Gong made a strategic mistake, she shouldn't be sitting in that position when she is dressed like this, Ren Hui will not stare at her friend's sweetheart like herself.
Just as he was calculating in his mind, Zhong Yuning managed to escape from the entanglement of several little girls, so he had time to ask in his heart: "Have you noticed the boat opposite?"
Lin Peng smiled lightly and didn't answer, Shen Yue said, "It's hard to ignore."
Now he needs an honest person to explain the doubts in everyone's mind, and Zhong Yuning happened to be an honest person, "I don't understand, it stands to reason that the crown prince is going to treat guests over there, Boss Peng will never have the guts to rent this Qinglian to us."
Shen Yue looked at Ren Hui with a confused face, but Ren Hui didn't seem to notice that both Qing Gong and Shen Yue were looking at him at this moment, and they only cared about joking with the beautiful woman in his arms. Shen Yue knew that although he was fierce, he usually He seemed to be lawless, but he always adhered to the principle of the military's non-interference in politics, and ignored the affairs of the court. Knowing that he could not be forced to speak, he could only talk to himself: "Xicheng and Baosheng haven't arrived yet, could it be that there is something wrong?" Things are delayed?"
"Baosheng will come." Ren Hui said simply, but with force, and the emotions that Shen Yue and Zhong Lin had aroused immediately settled down.Shen Yue laughed secretly, the implication of Ren Hui's words was obvious, it seemed that although he ignored political affairs, he still kept an eye on Fan Xicheng's abnormal reaction.Since he wanted to investigate, Fan Xicheng and He's family got so close recently, of course he couldn't hide it from him.
If the military really wanted to inquire about the news, it would naturally be much faster than the serious courtiers.
"That's right, the garrison of the capital is here, and the Imperial Army might have to move." Lin Peng seemed suspicious, "But even if Fan Bo is busy, he can't be busy with Xi Cheng."
Shen Yue narrowed his small eyes with a smile, the fire is burning well, let's add more firewood.
"I forgot to tell everyone that Xicheng has been promoted and is now the servant of the right."
Lin Peng wondered, "Where did you get the news? Why didn't Shi Heng hear about it?"
Shen Yue confessed honestly: "I was transferred to the Ministry of Industry yesterday. Xicheng's transfer order has not yet come down, but everyone in the Ministry already knows about it."
"Hehe!" Lin Peng was both surprised and delighted, "I thought Xicheng was promoted very fast, but I didn't expect you to be promising, Anren! Which division are you in?"
"Heyun Department." Shen Yue was a little embarrassed, his chubby cheeks trembled, and there was a rare bit of shame in his eyes.
Lin Peng opened his mouth wide, and was really taken aback. Although Xie Lulang and He Yunsi had only been promoted by half a level, the treatment was vastly different.Qing Gong was peeling the lotus pods for Lin Peng, and she was secretly startled when she heard the words, the river transportation is a fat job, the golden basin that many people dream of, she knew that the river transportation is indispensable for the land scraping plan, but she didn't expect the young master to personally do it. go out.Ren Hui couldn't help laughing, "Uncle Shen is really capable, how many people begged grandpa to tell grandma that he wants to enter the Heyun yamen, you are better off, eat pork in silence."
According to their friendship, there was no need to beat around the bush, since the Ren family is not a Qingshui yamen anyway.Shen Yue smiled all the way, expressing his joyful mood appropriately.While everyone was chatting, several high-grade sedan chairs were carried towards the bank of Yuelian Lake in the twilight. After a while, several important figures came in cars, followed by several tall horses, who should be military figures.
Ren Hui chatted with everyone for a few words, and made some naughty jokes with the beauty in his arms, then winked at Shen Yue.He has the best hearing and can hear the sound of carriages and horses from a distance. Shen Yue pretended not to know, and teased the beautiful woman on his own. I can't miss it." Zhong Lin and the others had long wanted to go out to meet the prince, what an honor it was to be able to meet the prince!However, if a literati is famous, it is not easy to flatter too much. Hearing what Ren Hui said, he immediately found a way! !hurried off the boat.Shen Yue's teeth were cold secretly, and he pulled down the corners of his raised eyebrows unconsciously, and then slowly went ashore.
So proud, in front of the imperial power, she is just cotton around her fingers.Fortunately, he still had hopes, which were all delusions.
If His Majesty the Emperor wants to deal with him one day, these friends will be the first to rush to arrest him.
There were no fewer than ten sedan chairs oncoming, the crown prince was not making an unannounced visit this time, the light yellow sedan chair was surrounded by six inner court guards with swords, and the carriages and horses at the back followed the light carriages, but they were all marked with family crests, Liao Chi, Qin Cui and others The family was within their expectations, and the family crest of the Fan Mansion was impressively painted on the two maroon sedan chairs afterwards!
Without a word of notice, Fan Xicheng's sedan chair just appeared in the ranks of the prince and his party!
"What a Fan Xicheng who turned from darkness to light!" Lin Peng cursed in a low voice, Qing Gong hurriedly covered his mouth and pulled him back a step.Although Zhong Yuning didn't speak, his usually clear eyes dimmed a bit.Only Ren Hui remained uncharacteristically respectful and stood beside the road with his head bowed.Shen Yue showed just the right amount of surprise and anger, but secretly sneered in his heart. He ran faster than anyone just now, and now he is pretending to be arrogant.After ten years of hard work, it was only to sell to the emperor's family, and the prince and his friends treated guests at the same time, so it was a matter of course to accompany the prince.Holding the two extremely thick thighs of the Liao family and the prince, the bright future is just around the corner, what's the problem?Unexpectedly, after several years, Lin Peng is still so childish.
Shi Heng understood a lot.
Of course, Ren Hui was the most sober, still Ren Hui.
This sobriety is based on the Ren family's pure loyalty to the royal family and their absolute confidence in their own strength, so they don't feel humiliated, and they don't need to flatter them.This loyalty will not change because of dissatisfaction with the superior.Shen Yue sighed secretly, Xuntian's power and loyal attitude, no wonder his parents insisted on maintaining a good relationship with the Ren family by playing both soft and hard ways.
But it doesn't matter, it is extremely difficult to eliminate the Ren family, and he has long been mentally prepared for this.
He finally realized that no matter how much Ren Hui knew and what attitude he had, it was impossible to affect the Ren family's position of being a loyal slave. Since Mr. Ren was the one who knew everything, the existence of the Ren family became his greatest threat.
He didn't expect to swallow the Ren family in one fell swoop, but only hoped to stir up the conflicts between the royal family and the Ren family, Mr. Ren and Ren Hui at the same time, and create a crack in this huge net by using two prongs.
Just as Shen Yue judged, Ren Hui was very clear-headed, so he was not very angry at Fan Xicheng's so-called "betrayal", and he expected Su Baosheng to lead the imperial army to deploy defenses.All he thought about was one question, which was just mentioned by the honest Zhong Yuning: Why did the prince entertain guests at the bank of Yuelian Lake today without warning?Why did the so-called Boss Peng dare to rent the white lotus to them knowing that the crown prince rented Qingjiao?Why is the security around here so tight, but no one stopped them from boarding the boat?
Shen Yue, who had been watching him carefully, saw his ugly face, and knew that Ren Hui had seen things very well and had already found the key to the matter, but unfortunately he couldn't think of the reason.
There are at most ten people who know that Lin Zhongcheng, who is upright and upright at Yushitai, is the biggest brothel owner in the world.
There are no more than five people who know that Lin Zhongcheng has a huge news network and military power.
And there is only one person who knows that the world's largest brothel owner and arms dealer has surrendered to his Young Master Shen.
It was Young Master Shen himself.
Even Qing Gong didn't know about it, she thought that letting her escape safely was a deal between Shen Yue and Lin Zhongcheng, but she didn't know that her former boss had already "abandoned the dark and turned to the bright".
Shen Yue has always felt ashamed that his ability to plan conspiracies is not as good as Yining's, but today, he is very proud of himself.
He only hoped that the Ren family's killer must be more courageous.
The sedan chair curtain was lifted, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince dressed in light yellow got off the sedan chair gracefully. When he raised his eyes, he saw Ren Shen and others standing at the pier to meet him. The Crown Prince was in a good mood. In today's power, this kind of respect is exactly what he needs.
The three of Ren, Shenzhong and others saluted first, Lin Peng hesitated for a moment, then bowed down, the prince smiled and said: "Today I am also out to play, so there is no need to be formal." He stretched out his hand to help him up, and said: "I have heard that Ren Lin, Fan Liao, a talented scholar in Beijing, The four are the leaders, today Mr. Liao and Fan Shilang are also with me, why don't we all join the boat, so that we can learn about the way of poetry and prose." Everyone was terrified, but they couldn't help showing joy, only Shen Yue scolded his mother in his stomach, he didn't feel sorry for the money for chartering the boat, but he spent so much effort to create this situation, not for eating with that rabbit master Liao Jinxiu.
Different from Ren Hui, he has always been the most careful person, he doesn't care which swan meat the prince wants to eat, since Liao Jinxiu dares to let him have one, he will die in the dark.
He didn't even think about it, if it wasn't for Liao Jinxiu's gamble, how could he have justifiably entered the imperial examination?Although this anger is a bit unreasonable, but isn't it true that young people are unreasonable?
After a while, the sedan chairs behind also stopped one after another, and everyone in the two boats also knew that the prince had arrived, so they hurried out to meet him. , the obedient dragon Dong, Qing Gong is a big weapon he wants to put beside Ren Hui, what if the prince asks him to leave?Thinking about it again, this is Da Yingchao's future master. Comparing the two, it's still a good deal to become the crown prince.What's more, the prince is also a good-looking talent, so this deal is not a loss no matter what.So ignoring Qing Gong's resentful eyes, Shen Yue made a circle with her middle finger and slightly flicked her little finger towards the prince, signaling her to try her best to please him.
A group of people stood between the two boats and were about to go in to talk when another carriage slowly approached.
The prince looked back curiously, wondering who else was more airy than himself and arrived later than him?
Everyone also looked over, and saw a rich and handsome young man getting off the carriage. He was full of aura and calm in manner. He was not wearing any clothes to indicate his identity, but everyone recognized him naturally, so it was a little surprising.
The person who came was none other than Li Ruining, Prince Rui's son. Prince Rui doesn't care about political affairs, but this son is also quite idle. He likes to grow flowers and weeds, and never has much dealings with courtiers.Therefore, although his status is noble and he is of a young lineage, the prince did not think of trying to win the support of this cousin.
The prince looked around at the crowd, smiled slightly, and saluted the prince first.
The crown prince was unexpectedly surprised. With him as the leader, everyone hurriedly saluted the crown prince.
Although Shen Yue is also a former son-in-law-to-be, but here are the most valuable people in the younger generation, there is no room for him to speak, so he kept the silence that should be kept at this time, waiting for the prince to speak.The son secretly cursed in his heart, your mother wants me to help you to the top, but you are lucky, you will not be able to get ahead, so let me make it difficult, he walked up to Shen Yue without explaining, and said with a smile: "You dragged me out to drink with shamelessness, why? Now it has become a saw-jawed gourd?"
His tone was blunt, but his expression was very friendly, like an old friend for many years.Everyone let out a cry, they were all secretly startled, this Shen Yue is so capable, even Prince Rui's son was invited over.Shen Yue complained secretly, there were so many ways to help, but Li Ruining wanted to push him to the front desk.
He didn't know how to respond, so he had to put on his usual demented smile, and promised obediently, "It's not too hot outside, do you want to go in first?" The son was stunned, and then laughed out loud, "Good for you, Shen Anren, you are incompetent." The disciples dressed up very well, and they really sang and read to make a proof.He bowed to the prince and boarded the Qingjiao boat.
After the crown prince spoke, Shen Yue naturally called the girls to change the boat. The dancer, who was doing nothing, asked in a daze, "Then what about the dishes we prepared? The dancing outfits are also on the boat." Shen Yue Yue Jingxin, who has never seen such an idiot before, felt speechless, stroked his forehead and sighed, "Would you be able to starve to death, the crown prince?"
The layout of the two ships of Bailian Qingjiao is almost identical, but the standards of the girls serving on the boats are obviously different. Although they are all beautiful women, the ones here have obviously received special training, all of them are gentle and silent, without squinting.
The boat sailed and the banquet started. The girls were quiet and speechless, and began to serve the guests on the tables. Songs and dances were also performed next, but although they had undergone special training, there were so many young men and women in front of them.The hearts of the girls were still unstoppably nervous, the girls serving the wine were from the Qingjiao boat, they were not that bad, but the dancers brought by Shen Yue from the boat were all pale and stiff.
Hailu's father's ability to train women is really first-class, Shen Yue knows his subordinates' acting skills, secretly pretending to be good.He took another look at Qing Gong who was sitting next to the prince, and sure enough, his jaw was retracted, his wrist was trembling, his expression shy and timid, he looked like a restrained and frightened little rabbit.My luck is really good, Shen Yue is very satisfied with Qing Gong's performance, this girl is so smart, she will be covered up by a scapegoat in the future, and the dark wind blows around her pillow, given time, why worry about whether the family will not fail or the big things will not happen?
He didn't know that these women were not lying, but were really scared.He himself was born in the royal family. Although he lived in danger and fear since he was a child, he never felt awe of the royal family in his bones.What he fears the most in the capital is the old man of the Ren family.
Originally, in this flower hall, Shen Yue was the only one who had the status to talk to the crown prince at the same level.
The wonderful thing is that even though he was still confused about his true identity, Shen Yue dared to glance around while bowing his head to drink, observing the expressions of the upstarts, which made Ren Hui at the other table terrified.He is the lord of a prince, with a transcendent status. Although he respects etiquette, he is not too worried about being criticized by others. However, Zhong Lin and Shen are not qualified to sit here anyway. If they don't protect them, once they leave What a mistake, you don't have to mess around in this capital in the future.
Not only Zhong Yuning and other small officials, but also Liao Jinxiu and Qin Feng were at a loss.They originally planned to use today's gathering as a symbol of the rise of the younger generation, but the participation of Prince Rui and Ren Hui was both a surprise and a shock to them, especially the friendship between Shen Yue and Prince Rui's son was beyond them. expected.
Got too much information today.
And the few people with careful thoughts were guessing the purpose of Ren Hui's treat on the neighboring ship.No one doubted that the master was not Ren Hui. From their point of view, even if Shen Yue had the support of Prince Rui's Mansion, it was still not enough compared to the Ren family, the most powerful family in the military.As for the others, they didn't think about it at all.
This is what Shen Yue wanted.
The guard in charge of the defense is the Kyoto garrison, and the grandson of Ren's parents is on board. If the prince has any minor safety problems at this time, the charge of dereliction of duty is a certainty.If you play another game of assassinating the prince, it will be enough for the Ren family to be trampled on [-] feet and never stand up again.
Of course, he won't do things like this.He also knew that if the dog jumped the wall in a hurry, Mr. Ren was really in a hurry, and the other party would definitely throw out his status as a Weitz nobleman.
He just wanted to weaken some emperors' trust in the Ren family, and find a proper reason for the next power cut.
Shen Yue felt that she really understood the holy will too much.
If the prince chooses to treat guests at the Green Orange Building or the Hongchun Building, it may be difficult to arrange, but the beauty of the night view of Yuelian Lake was delivered to the Prince's ear by Shen Yue after seventeen or eighteen turns.Now that the boat is standing in the lake, there is no one in the field, and the soldiers on the shore are unable to rescue them. Isn't it a place made in heaven to assassinate?
He believed that his subordinates could cause a big mess, and he also believed that the Witz people would not miss this opportunity for chaos.He even hoped that the assassins of the Ren family would take advantage of this muddy water to make a profit out of the fire.
They had to come because he had been absent from work for five days straight and hadn't left the house at all.
There are all civil servants in this battle, and only Ren Hui is capable of rescuing the prince.
But if he and the prince were in danger at the same time, which one would Ren Hui save first?
He also wanted to know the answer.
Faintly, Shen Yue suppressed that glimmer of expectation.
There is no turning back when he opened the bow. Could it be that he is still looking for a reason for himself to show mercy to the Ren family?
On such an occasion today, I am naturally embarrassed to yell at the beautiful woman and talk about nasty jokes at the beginning, especially when the crown prince said just now that he wanted to discuss literary skills. Sighing inwardly, he lowered his head and continued to drink, thinking to himself that luckily it was only mid-May and the weather wasn't too hot, otherwise he wouldn't dare to hug a beautiful woman at the banquet, and he would listen to sour words, and be steamed by the heat, he would really become Vinegar potato shreds.
Especially Lin Peng and Zhong Yuning seemed to be really frightened by the battle. One drank freely while the other ate vegetables. Except for reciting a poem when the prince asked about him, he didn't seem to raise his head.Shen Yue was full of excitement at this time, he had long ignored Lin Zhong's previous flattery, and just wanted to find someone to make jokes and relax his overactive nerves.So seeing them nervous, they felt a little guilty. Lin Peng didn't say anything, they were a prodigal son, and when he sent the Qing bow to the prince, he expected that he would have a fit, but Zhong Yuning was still a sixth-rank petty official. Why still can't say a good word?It doesn't matter if you don't know how to flatter, but if you make such a fuss, this Wusha may be in danger.
The literati are sour, but the wits are so sour.Today, the four great talents are all present, although one of them is drinking, after all, there are still three left. Ren Hui has always been impatient with such occasions, and only wrote two symbolic songs, but after all, there are still two shameless bastards. Yue secretly slandered, and then watched Fan Liao and the two of them come and go, it was a rhetoric that was full of words, really praised and flattered together, the hymn was the same as the dog's leg, only the prince Xiaolong was very angry Yue, nodded again and again.Seeing that the prince was in a good mood, Liao Jinxiu boldly suggested, "Shangshu Shen is stunningly beautiful, and the tiger father has no dogs. Since Mr. Shen is the second place in this year's list, his literary talents must be good. Why not let Mr. Shen compose a poem to help the wine?"
What he said was very tactful, Prince Ruining never mentioned Shen Yue after he came to the table, everyone was still thinking about how to treat each other, they had already ignored him for a while, and just found an excuse to get close to him.Naturally, it is unavoidable to praise Mr. Liao, the new champion, for his gentleness and modesty, and his literary talent.Prince Ruining even nodded with a smile, enjoying watching the play.
It's a pity that his good intentions and promises are not very useful, that old fox father wants to make out with the Liao family, he is not the dough in Mr. Liao's hands.Shen Yue looks like a clown on the surface, but his heart is extremely proud. After a long time of humming, he admits that he can't learn enough, and would rather be punished with three glasses of wine than write poetry.Liao Jinxiu's face was dull and he was very unhappy. He paved the steps for Shen Yue twice, the last time was for the Ren family, and this time he was the son of the eldest son. Unexpectedly, that kid would always be ungrateful.Immediately sneered and said: "It is said that Uncle Shen and Aunt Yun are people who are not born in the world. I didn't expect Brother An to be so disrespectful to the family. Could it be true that as the rumors say, he is only the second generation ancestor who borrowed the shadow of his father?"
The words were harsh, and the scene was a bit cold for a while, Liao Jinxiu took a mouthful of Uncle Shen Anren, and he clasped his personal provocations instead of courtiers' disputes. Saying so, the chubby baby's fat face trembled slightly, and he looked like a good-natured and cheerful Fu.
But there was still a bit of coldness in his bones.
Liao Jinxiu didn't take it seriously but took it as humiliation. Ren Hui was also full of anger. If it was in the past, he would have to fix Liao Jinxiu and take the opportunity to make Shen Yue show off. However, it is not like before, so he endured it Until now, but seeing Shen Yue being humiliated at this moment, he finally couldn't hold back, Shen Sheng said to the prince next to him: "Can I borrow a pen and paper?" , the prince had long wanted to watch this excitement, he waved his hand to the attendant who was kneeling behind him with a smile, and immediately offered a pen and paper.With a wave of Ren Hui's pen, he threw out a six-foot-long declaration dripping with ink.The attendant was able to go out with the son, so he was quick-witted, and immediately read aloud:
The jizi sang and sang, the iron array and the cloud leveled.
The Han family prostituted Yao generals and galloped through the Huns' court.
The young man fights fiercely, and his anger is the king's sign.
The male halberd rubs against the sun, and the long sword breaks the meteor.
Go out of Feihu Sai early in the morning, and stay in the city in the evening.
The captive rode on the four mountains, Hu Chen was shocked for thousands of miles.
There was a hissing sound, and the sound of horn blowing boiled the sky.
The left is broken and the Han formation is broken, and the right is broken and the slaughter soldiers.
Running rampant in the desert, drinking horses and clearing the sea.
Long trees are dry and colorless, sand and grass are not evergreen.
Le Shi Yanran said, Kai returned to Chang'an Pavilion.
The county magistrate knows that I am healthy, and there is no one in the world who is not inclined.
But if the strong are destroyed, why do you need to be the first to succeed?
When the husband is determined, he is the ancient hero alone.
As soon as this poem came out, all the audience was shocked. The previous generation of "Xia Yue Yang Minghui" and "Taiyue Mountain Peak Shengze Chang" could not help but fall into desperation. , "Hua Xing Is Out of the Clouds" is also far behind.The crown prince praised repeatedly: "The words are powerful but the emotion is shocking. You really are a domineering general! Yan Sheng is both civil and military, and he really deserves the name of a genius! It is my great blessing to have such a good minister in the court." Someone took the lead, and everyone was full of praise, Although Liao Jinxiu commented in a low voice, "Don't avoid danger, it hurts the tone of elegance", but everyone pretended that they hadn't heard of it.Prince Rui Ning nodded with a smile and looked at Ren Hui rather jokingly, thinking that this is obviously a work of yours in the army. It is too fake for you to bring out your own poems while trying to find a place for Shen Yue.
Ren Hui snorted, and said calmly: "This is An Ren's farewell poem when Yan Sheng first went to the border. Although it was an old work when he was young, Yan Sheng couldn't remember the others at the moment. Mr. Liao previously commented on Uncle Shen's amazing beauty, Anren's family history must have a great talent, and this poem should be worthy of it."
As soon as this remark came out, everyone was in an uproar, and what they looked at Shen Yue was no longer the eyes waiting to see a joke, but the eyes full of puzzlement and shock.Although this big exam dispelled part of Shen Yue's notoriety, everyone had long held prejudices and always believed that Shen's father and son teamed up to cheat in the examination room. In addition, Shen Yue's lack of outstanding performance since high school deepened this impression.Looking at this poem again, it really deserves His Majesty's comment of "sharpness and rhyme".Compared with today's poems, it is like pulling out shrubs of green pine, and reflecting dust and sand of white jade, which is not enough to describe its nobility.
What's more, people with good deeds did the math and found that, as Ren Hui said, this poem was written by Shen Yue when he was 12 years old. Can write such poems at the age of 12, isn't Shen Yue a genius?
Fortunately, the old Shen family already has a genius, so the psychological defense line of the young masters is relatively high.Some of the more straightforward ones even shook their heads, clapped their hands and sang.Shen Yue let out a dry laugh, embarrassed in his heart, this was obviously written by Ren Hui for fun after he set off on the expedition, so why is it Lao Shizi's farewell work?It doesn't count that Ren Hui stole poems from his study, and even threw them out in front of everyone. How could this give him a chance to hide his strength in the future?
He sighed awkwardly, pretending to be shy, and bowed his hands to the prince's table.
Anyway, this name has to be issued, early death and early death, the previous imperial examination was not enough, so let's continue to issue.
Thinking about it this way, Ren Hui's smug smile became less hateful.
But even though Shen Yue has a thick skin and a big stomach, he couldn't hold back the rounds of bombardment from everyone's wine glasses and compliments. When the toast was over and he returned to the two tables, his brain could still hold on, but his belly was about to burst, and he couldn't stop drinking. If not, go to the rear cabin to find the toilet under the guidance of the beauty.
