last night suddenly dreamed of mountains and rivers

There is a table in the boat house, and the two sit opposite each other.Shen commented on the green sleeves and poured a cup of tea for Lan Jiansu: "Second Lord, did you pass through Sanjiang when he came to Beijing this time?"

Lan Jiansu took a sip of the fragrant tea, the warmth in his stomach permeated his whole body: "Father came to Beijing this time by water, and he did pass through the Three Rivers, but he didn't stop at the shore."

"Then what did Second Master see and hear when he passed Sanjiang?"

Lan Jiansu's eyes dimmed slightly, and he gathered awe-inspiring meaning: "Thousands of miles of barren land on both sides of the three rivers, the houses are all ruins and ruins, and the people are displaced. The suffering is unspeakable. Although the prince ordered people across the river to give money for relief, it was still a drop in the bucket." And the behavior of throwing money on the boat was too upstart, which caused a lot of public grievances.

"That's right. It was Shi Yougong, Minister of the Ministry of Industry and Grand Academician of the Imperial Academy who caused all this." Shen Pinglu sighed with satisfaction, and wrenched his fingers and knocked on the case with resentment, "Shi Yougong privately embezzled Sanjiang embankment bank last year." This year, the three rivers flooded, the fertile land was destroyed, and the families of the people were destroyed. Not only that, but Shi Yougong also murdered the prefect of Taijiang who was about to go to the court. The prefects of Qingjiang and Qijiang were coerced and lured by him, and one returned to his hometown and moved to the left A small county in the frontier. Shi Yougong relied on being the uncle of the third prince, and won the emperor's favor. For many years, he corrupted the law and did whatever he wanted. What you see is not tolerated. That's why I intend to impeach him at the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet this time."

Lan Jian Su Ning raised eyebrows and asked: "Master Xiang wants to impeach important ministers in the court, why is he not in the court, but at the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet? If it spoils the Empress Dowager's mood, wouldn't it offend the Empress Dowager and the Emperor?" This concern cannot be ignored.

Shen commented on Ludao: "Shi Yougong has a lot of party members. If you refer to him at the court, there must be cunning officials who will argue for him. Although the Holy Majesty is wise and powerful, I am afraid that he will be deceived by their clever tongue. And this Queen Mother's birthday banquet , with all the relatives of the emperor and the empress dowager present for the notarization, and you as the witness of the second master, the minister has a better chance of winning. As for what the emperor thinks about me afterwards... as long as Shi Yougong, a corrupt official, can be brought down, the humble minister will be punished What's the matter with being cold?"

He made a statement, as if he was pregnant with Jiyue, embraced the breeze, and was about to die heroically, which made Lan Jiansu feel strange.

Shen Pinglu saw that he was stunned, and said: "If the second master feels embarrassed, the humble minister will not force it."

Lan Jian Su thought for a while: "It is imperative to eradicate rape and eradicate evil, but this incident happened so suddenly, I was not prepared in my heart, I still have to go back and think about it."

"It's okay. Until that day, it's all up to the second master."

When the boat reached the shore, Lan Jiansu said he still had something important to do, so he stopped the boat, bid farewell to Shen Pinglu, and jumped ashore to leave.

Shen Pinglu stood at the bow of the boat, staring at Lan Jiansu Xingyuan's back, the lake in his eyes was clear and green, silent.

On the Empress Dowager's birthday, civil and military officials, princes and nobles came to congratulate her with gifts. Lan Jiansu and others gathered at the Xidial Gate and followed the officials of the Lifan Court into the palace, while the officials of the Honglu Temple led the officials in.

The candlelight in the hall is bright enough, and the golden wall is brilliant.The imperial banquet was set in front of the emperor's throne, with fifty tables, 25 on each side. The royal relatives and nobles sat in front, and then sat down in order according to their official rank.

Outside the hall, there is a yellow silk mantle on Majesty Dan, and a green mantle behind the emperor's guard of honor.There are [-] seats, and officials above the third rank of Wen and the second rank of Wu sit on Majesty Dan.

Su Yinyou followed behind Lan Jiansu, and when she saw Lan Jiansu taking a seat, she immediately sat next to him as if clinging to him.

King Zhen Xian saw that the two people were still getting tired of crooked at the banquet, and he was very angry. He picked up Lan Jiansu's collar, half pushed and half kicked him, and forced him to move his seat forward, while he sat on the seat of the two. In the middle, like a mountain separating the two.

Su Yin looked at his father sadly, her eyes couldn't stop lingering on Lan Jiansu.

Lan Jiansu got used to the new seat in a daze, and asked Zhenxian Wang: "Father, this seat is based on grades. Is it a bit wrong for me to sit in front of you?"

King Zhenxian had his own reasoning: "In terms of bloodline grade, it's fine for you to sit here."

There was an empty seat on Lan Jiansu's right, and the owner of the seat should be of higher rank than him.

After a while, a man followed two eunuchs into the palace.The man wore a scarlet silk robe with dragon patterns on the shoulders, chest and back, a soft black gauze hat on his head, a jade leather belt around his waist, and red satin soap boots.Her thin lips were pursed slightly, and she looked straight ahead with cold eyes.He looks about twenty, with outstanding appearance and full of nobility, but his face is slightly pale, as if he has just recovered from a serious illness.

As soon as he entered, all the officials bowed and greeted: "See the prince."

The prince came to the seat next to Lan Jiansu and settled down, turned around, rolled up his sleeves slightly, and took his seat calmly.

Then the two turned their heads to look at each other, suddenly, their faces were startled and pale.

It was written on Lan Jiansu's face: Doom is inevitable.

It was written on the prince's face: Enemy's road is narrow.

The two have hated each other since they were born, and the combination of new and old hatred can fill up the mountains and rivers, so this look at each other is like the surging mountains and rivers, no one is very pleasing to the eye.

Lan Jiansu turned her head back, drinking tea by herself, unwilling to look at him.

The prince took a sip of grape scented tea, suddenly his face turned pale, and he choked his throat and coughed: "Ahem...cough...why suddenly, it seems like someone is strangling me by the throat?" Jian Su, "Is it you? Could it be that you cast a spell again...?"

The officials panicked.

Prince sick!

The prince fell ill when he met the former second prince!

The former second prince cast a spell to harm the prince again!

The former second prince was so vicious!

The eunuchs swarmed up and supported the prince's shoulders: "Prince? What's wrong with you, Your Royal Highness! Imperial doctor! Call the imperial doctor!"

Lan Jiansu calmly drank his cup of tea, raised his foot, and kicked the prince hard.The prince said "ah", and fell to the ground, the grape pulp choked out from his throat.

The eunuchs were suddenly quiet.

After coughing twice again, the prince sat upright and straightened his clothes: "It's strange that he recovered suddenly."

After a while, the emperor and the queen mother entered the palace, ascended their seats, and all the officials stood up.There is Shaole in the hall, and the master of ceremonies distributes the wine jug and pots. The officials kneel down to thank and get up.After giving imperial tea, the officials knelt down and stood up again.

Lan Jiansu took advantage of the royal family and aristocrats, so he didn't have so much work to kneel up and down, and sat down after thanking her.

On the throne, the emperor was dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe and a hat with two dragons playing with pearls on top. Although he was under forty, he did not need to speak, and he was full of majesty.The Empress Dowager sits on the phoenix seat, wearing a phoenix crown inlaid with pearls, emeralds, emerald gold and silk inlaid with pearls, and her face is decorated with emerald jade.The colorfully woven Yunlong Zhai garment has red borders, green and red knees covered, large and small belts, and jade ribbons.Very dignified and formal.He is already in his fifties, but he looks like he is only in his thirties, with a noble and graceful demeanor, like a banished immortal who has blessed all living beings.

Afterwards, the master of ceremonies served the imperial meals one by one, first enjoyed by the emperor and the queen mother, and then given to the officials after evaluation.

After eating two dishes, the emperor and the queen mother each talked to the officials.The prince seized the opportunity, stood up, and bowed respectfully to the queen mother and the emperor: "Today is the birthday of the emperor's grandmother, and my grandson wrote a small poem. It is a new style of Western style. It is a little novel. I hope to read it and listen to the emperor's grandmother."

The queen mother smiled and said: "I heard that the emperor's grandson has learned a lot from that missionary Georgeson recently, and there is a new school of poetry and prose. The Ai family must appreciate it carefully."

The emperor asked curiously: "Oh? Since it is a new Western style poem, the emperor must recite it for me and the Queen Mother to listen to, and to appreciate it with all the officials."

The prince said happily: "The minister there will show his ugliness."

Lan Jiansu picked up a piece of braised pork and ate it, waiting for the crown prince's heroic prize.First, he wanted to see whether the prince's literary talent had improved rapidly without his nemesis these years.Secondly, he wanted to see whether the prince's acting power had regressed without his nemesis these years.

The crown prince cleared his throat, straightened his chest, made a heroic appearance, and recited loudly: "Ah! Grandmother! You are like a pure lily! The fragrance is overflowing and beautiful! Ah! Grandmother! You are the grand The land of Feng is generous and kind, and accommodates all rivers! Ah! Grandmother! You are the sail in the memory of your grandson, leading your grandson in the ocean of life! Ah! Grandmother! You are the candle that burns itself! Sacrifice yourself, Nurturing the people of Dafeng!"

Lan Jiansu choked on a mouthful of braised rabbit meat, clutched the front of his shirt tightly, and opened his mouth to vomit.

The empress dowager and the emperor were stunned, their brows full of wreckage left by the culture shock.

The prince clapped his palms and shouted, "The prince is so talented!"

The official rolled up his sleeves and wiped his tears: "The filial sons and grandsons are deeply touching..."

"Its true feelings are rare in the world..."

"Wizards in the world, pillars of the country..."

"The new style of poetry is extraordinary..."

The prince spread his arms and raised his hands upwards, filling his voice with exhilarating emotion: "Ah! Grandmother!"

Lan Jiansu struggled fiercely with the rabbit meat in his throat, almost scratching the ground with his toes, and with a "vomit", finally spat out all the rabbit meat.

The prince stopped reciting poems and looked down at him.The empress dowager, the emperor, and the officials all looked at Lan Jiansu, who was disrespectful in front of the imperial court.

All the officials were terrified, and King Zhen Xian was terrified and out of his wits.The prince recited poems, and the former second prince vomited, still in front of the emperor and queen mother.Anyone who listens to it is a crime of sticking their butt to the board fifty times.

How dare the second prince, before losing power, have such a physical reaction to the prince's literary talent?No matter how nasty or ugly the prince's poem is.The prince had just recovered from a long illness, and he was provoked, what if he fell ill again?In addition to the crime of sticking the butt to the board fifty times, the neck has to be washed and waited for slaughter.

Lan Jiansu looked at the crown prince, emperor, queen mother, and all the officials.Everyone seemed to be waiting for him to kneel down and kowtow to apologize to the prince.If you don't find a way for the prince, the emperor will hold him accountable, and the situation will be difficult to deal with.

After a while of silence, Lan Jiansu squeezed his voice, looked at the plate of braised rabbit meat that he had eaten most of, and burst into tears: "Tutu!" His expression was in pain, as if piercing the heart, " How can I eat a rabbit? The rabbit is so cute, why do I eat a rabbit? Besides, I am also a rabbit!"

The quiet air became heavier and heavier.

The civil and military affairs of the Manchu dynasty, the empress dowager, the emperor's prince: "..."

Su Yin's heart is rippling with worry, she only thinks that he is so cute and charming even when he looks delicate.

King Zhenxian immediately covered his chest, rolled his eyes and twitched, howling in his heart: Damn!This king wants to stop again!
