last night suddenly dreamed of mountains and rivers

After returning, Lan Jiansu took off the official uniform and threw it aside.

He sat on the futon, staring at the satin official robe thrown casually on the table.Dust flew to the surface of the robe and slipped from the delicate satin surface.Dafeng's official uniform was made of the smoothest fabric.It is said that they want to get the implication of not being stained with dust. I hope that every official can be clean and spotless.

But the more you force something, the more you can't get it.There are hundreds of officials in Dafeng, and with one stroke, they can hit the oil and water on the ground casually.Honest officials huddled in a corner, wearing dirty and old official robes that had no money to mend and have no money to buy new ones. Their stomachs were sour, but the official robes of those corrupt officials were more "clean of dust" than anyone else.

Lan Jian Su likes to listen to court affairs and state affairs, but she hates officialdom.

Being an official in the court is just a stopgap measure.He had to think of a way to find Jingxianxue and King Zhenxian, and then leave the capital.He originally wanted to write a letter to Su Yinyou, but he was afraid that Lan Chongyan would intercept his letter secretly, knowing that Su Yinyou was still at the pinnacle of bliss and would order people to make a surprise attack, so he had no choice but to give up.

Going to the palace early in the morning to work, and now feeling sleepy, Lan Jiansu's eyelids were clenched, and when he got up, he wanted to take a nap on the couch.He was not in a hurry, not because he was really in a hurry.It's just that in the current situation, even if he was extremely anxious, went out yelling, digging and digging, he still couldn't find the place where King Zhen Xian and Jing Xianxue were detained.Simply, relax your mind first, get a good night's sleep, and slowly think of countermeasures.

The servants outside walked without making a sound, and the sudden knock on the door knocked half of Lan Jiansu's sleepiness away.

Lan Jiansu opened the door.

Servant: "My lord."

Lan Jiansu had a dejected face of lack of sleep: "Your name sounds like an adult. I don't know why, but I feel uncomfortable."

"Grandfather?"

Lan Jiansu's eyes twitched.

The servant hesitated: "...Master?"

"..." Lan Jiansu frowned, "You should call your lord back. What's the matter?"

The servant said: "The prime minister is here."

After a pause, Lan Jiansu said, "Please invite him in."

"He won't come in."

"You don't want to come in?"

"I invited you three or four times, but I just don't want to come in."

Shen Pinglv must have lost his temper.Yilan gradually learned about Shen Pinglu's past, and he quickly came to this conclusion.

When she walked out of the room, Lan Jiansu had already thought about what kind of temper Shen Pinglu was throwing this time?

Shen Pinglu, who retreated from his official uniform and changed into a green shirt, stood at the gate with a slightly anxious expression on his face. When he saw Lan Jiansu coming out, he immediately hid back and put on a calm look.

Lan Jiansu and Shen Pinglu hadn't seen each other for a long time, and he couldn't count the exact time.In retrospect, during the period when we didn't meet each other, his whole life has undergone earth-shaking changes.

Shen Pinglu is thinner than before, and her face looks better.The aggressive spirit between his brows before has slightly diminished, as if the world is much gentler in his eyes, and it seems that he is much gentler in the eyes of the world.

"Master." Lan Jiansu called him and came to him, "Why would you rather stand outside the door than go in?"

Shen Pinglu turned his head to the side, smiled very calmly and freely, and said lightly: "For more than a year, you have not heard from you, and you have not written a letter. I thought that you don't want to see me anymore."

Lan Jiansu came all the way, constantly wondering why Shen Pinglu lost his temper.Is it because he was so bored after morning court today that he forgot to stay and say hello to Mr. Xiang?Or was it that he couldn't afford to pay a visit after entering Beijing, which made him unhappy?

After thinking hard, I couldn't find a reason to convince myself.Unexpectedly, Xiangye's temper began to brew more than a year ago.

Lan Jiansu's face was full of guilt, and he said apologetically, "Jiansu is ruthless. He forgot to write to the prime minister after being out for so long. The prime minister should blame me."

The color on Shen Pinglu's face stretched a little, and he still said "hypocritically": "Second Lord is busy with people, so how can you blame the truth?"

Lan Jiansu seriously apologized to him: "Master Shen, I was wrong. Please come in, and I'll treat you to a glass of wine. I'll give you an apology."

These four invitations and five invitations finally made Shen Pinglu step into the gate of Linqin Duke's Mansion full of joy.

The matter of inviting wine is always easy to say verbally. When inviting people into the mansion, if you really want to turn over the pot of wine, you don't know where to turn it.He has just "moved" here for the second day, and if he gets lost on the way back to his room, where can he find a wine cellar?

Lan Jiansu called his servants to inquire.The servant said that there is no good wine in the house, but how many taels of rice wine is there for cooking, and asked the two adults if they would like to enjoy it?

Shen Pinglu smiled and taunted Lan Jiansu, "Second Master said he wanted to invite people to drink, why can't the house even bring out a jar of wine?"

Lan Jiansu had no choice but to take out the silver and ask the servants to go out and buy two jars of good wine.The servant weighed and weighed the silver in his hand, his face was very disdainful.However, he is a servant, and his disdain cannot be expressed too much.Suppressing the disdain for not getting much money for running errands, the corner of the servant's mouth curled into a strange and stiff arc: "Master, the imperial capital is not as expensive as other places. The price of wine is more expensive."

Lan Jiansu dug out another two taels of silver and threw it over.

The servants put away their money and swaggered out to buy wine.

The last time Lan Jiansu saw such a dragging servant was in Zhenyou's palace.

Asking someone to sit on the padded kang, Lan Jiansu poured a cup of tea for Shen Pinglu: "Master, before the wine comes, I'm sorry for you to drink this sour and bitter tea first."

Shen Pinglu took a sip of tea, smacked his lips and said, "Second Master, you really don't know good stuff."

Lan Jiansu held a cup of tea and shook his hand: "I'm really not very good at knowing things, but how do you say that?"

Shen commented on the green way: "This tea is Dongshan's top-grade pistil tea. Because it is more difficult to stir-fry than ordinary tea and the process is cumbersome, it is produced every five years in Dongshan. The price is extremely high and it is extremely difficult to buy. The second master's house can have it. This kind of tea, but I don’t know it, it’s just—"

"Violence." Lan Jiansu picked up what he hadn't said.

Shen Pinglu looked at his face and smiled amusedly.He picked up the tea and took another sip.

He, Lan Jiansu, really didn't know what to buy.He thought that Lan Chongyan deliberately put some sour and bitter second-class tea here to torture him, but how could he know that this tea is so good that it is hard to buy?He couldn't drink it, and he didn't understand why such a bad tea was so expensive.But asking this question is too superficial, like cat poop coffee, he thinks it tastes like brewed from soil juice, but some people like it.

But these are not problems, the problem is, doesn't Lan Chongyan hate him and hate him?Why is there such a good tea in his mansion?

"Prince—" Lan Jiansu choked after blurting out these two words, and said, "The emperor gave me this kind of good tea in a big way, but I didn't know it at all."

When the word "Emperor" was mentioned, Shen Pinglu's demeanor visibly slowed down.There was a serious look on his face, and sorrow surged between his brows.

He is a neutral official with no party affiliation, and the emperor trusts him extremely.He shouldn't have such a reaction when he heard the word "Emperor".

Staring blankly at the tea noodles in the cup for a while, Shen commented on the green way: "The current emperor is not the former prince."

Listening horizontally and vertically, these words are all nonsense like one plus one equals two, but Shen Pinglu said it in a very meaningful tone.Therefore, Lan Jiansu concluded that Shen Pinglv's seemingly ordinary nonsense was quite unusual and had quite a meaning.

After swallowing two more cups of tea, Shen Pinglu put the teacup back on the table, rejected Lan Jiansu's request for more tea, and said: "The ministers in the court are afraid of him. They are so scared to death."

Lan Jiansu frowned slightly.

This morning, he could feel that the ministers, old and young, were obedient to Lan Chongyan beyond common sense.Only one or two admonishing ministers, including Shen Pinglu, stood upright.But they always stood up straight to everyone. When the late emperor was around, Lan Jiansu once thought that they had to stand up straight all the time to prevent cervical spondylosis, so he had to become an admonisher who was not afraid of life and death.

"There is one thing that few people know about." Shen commented on the green voice in a low voice.

Lan Jiansu got up, opened the door and looked around, then closed the door and window tightly, sat back in front of the kang table, and said, "Mr. Xiang, please rest assured."

Shen Pinglu let out a sigh of relief, and said: "This matter is about the emperor returning to the capital to ascend the throne and ordering Tian Feng to go south to defend against the enemy's rear.

"It is impossible for the old ministers to be convinced by the new emperor when he first ascended the throne. What's more, the Gongyi family has lost power in the court for a long time. Although the party headed by the Qing and concubine clan has an unstable foundation in the court, it is the largest. All of them They didn't want to serve the new emperor. At first they held back, because they wanted the emperor to "fight" with Tian Feng. After Tian Feng was sent to the south by the emperor, they began to plot.

"Originally, they planned to overthrow the new emperor and have another little prince as emperor. But they couldn't find a suitable candidate, so they had to give up. Later, they chose another method - to control the current emperor."

Throughout the ages, the relationship between the emperor and his courtiers has been very delicate.If the emperor is too strong, he will be autocratic; if he is too weak, he will be controlled by his courtiers.And often the young new emperor is the easiest to become a "pawn" of courtiers.Those forces of the Qing Dynasty and concubines were obviously unwilling to be defeated, and wanted to reorganize the "mountain and river" and attack the new emperor.

"As soon as Tian Feng left, several old ministers from the original Qing Dynasty and the imperial concubine's influence began to domineering, and the emperor did not pay much attention to the emperor. On that day, several veteran ministers forced the emperor to revise the The newly promulgated policy intends to control the government in the future. Master Hong's words were too aggressive, and his body forced the emperor."

Speaking of this, Shen Ping's green eyes trembled violently, as if what happened later, he still recalled it now, and was still shocked from the inside out: "It was only for a moment, and no one saw when it happened His majesty grabbed Mr. Hong by the neck, and grabbed Mr. Hong, who was not light, with his bare hands. Mr. Hong lifted his feet off the ground, hung in the air, and looked at the emperor with wide eyes in horror. He opened his mouth like Want to say something, but can't say a word. It seems that the emperor just wants to warn him and not give him a chance to speak again.

"All the officials present were stunned. The emperor didn't change his face, as if he was just lifting a piece of thin paper lightly, and Mr. Hong's face became more and more black. Immediately, all the officials knelt down and begged the emperor to let Mr. Hong go. The emperor He didn't obey, so he strangled Mr. Hong to death.

"Throwing Lord Hong's body on the ground, the emperor said to those ministers that they could be allowed to rely on their elders to sell their elders in the court, but if they dared to have another disagreement, Lord Hong would be their end. At that time, I saw the emperor's body, as if Afterwards, I don’t know whether it was because my eyes were dazzled, or I was too surprised to make assumptions. After all, the emperor was weak and sick when he was young, and no one would have imagined that he would have such strength now. It’s really...it’s unbearable Shock."

Slowly, the little emperor is not black enough now
