Si Tian Guan

Chapter 36 Liao Guangming

After the clamor and yelling outside the sedan chair increased, the speed of the bearer also slowed down, presumably he had entered a busy city.

Liu Chongming was never in a hurry to catch up with the banquet, he let them move slowly, enjoying the drowsy rhythm with his eyes closed.

Noticing that the sunlight cast from outside the car curtain became mottled and pale, he flipped it casually, and a few pear petals swirled towards him.

Next to the wine shop on the street, several pear trees are entangled and scattered in a snow-white color.

It is the season of pear blossoms in full bloom.

He made a detour here to see the wine shop under the tree.

"Your Majesty is out for entertainment. If you have to drink, you might as well go to the wine shop under the pear tree on Yuhua Street. There is an ancestral anti-alcoholic medicine there. I heard that it works well. If you are interested, you can also try the pear flower white there. , sweet and soft, the wine taste is not heavy."

Except for the detailed clues related to his previous identity, Qu Shenzhou didn't hide anything else.

When I went out for an appointment this morning, I also suggested that he take a look around here.

No matter how unbelievable it is, Liu Chongming has to gradually believe that there is indeed another soul hidden in Qu Shenzhou's body, otherwise it would be impossible to know what happened outside Qisheng Tower, let alone the people in the court.

Now it was his turn to vouch for Qu Shenzhou to Bai Shiyan - this man was telling the truth, if Shi Yan hadn't heard it with his own ears, he might have thought he had been bewitched by something.

Seeing his sedan chair not far away, the wine seller in the winery yelled enthusiastically: "Little official, do you want to taste the wine? The top grade Pear Blossom White."

Liu Chongming nodded, and the servant hurriedly trot over, took the wine dish from the girl, and brought it over carefully.

On weekdays, even when he was socializing, he would try his best to drink lightly. If he passed by in the past, he would definitely not stop in front of the wine shop.

But the three words "Pear Blossom White" were spoken softly on the tip of Qu Chenzhou's tongue, which made his lips and teeth sweet. He stared at the pink tip of his tongue that flickered between his lips, and couldn't help licking his dry lips.

Maybe try it... pear blossom white.

The warm and mellow aroma gently slid into the throat, without the pungent spicy taste, this pear blossom unexpectedly suits his taste.

Originally, I just came to see the hangover medicine, but when I left, I brought two jars of wine.

At today's banquet, he was just an accompaniment. The newly-appointed servant of the household department did not understand the affairs of Beijing. He wanted to earn a reputation of being impartial and impartial. After checking the accounts in his hand, he made a detailed list of additions and deletions.

Before anyone kindly reminded them, someone had already heard and understood the contents of the list - to reduce the cost of Jinxiu Camp.

This person offended someone who shouldn't be offended within a few months after he took office. After losing all his connections, someone set up such a table and gave him the opportunity to apologize to others.

The person sitting in the main seat didn't pay any attention to anyone, just watched a group of people laughing and talking coldly, but when Liu Chongming entered the door, he stood up with great dignity, pushed away everyone and walked over.

"Chongming, what a good day it is to invite you here. I'll think you're making a fortune in silence again, and I forgot about my brother."

"Commander Liao was joking," Liu Chongming walked a few steps quickly, and took the seat hand in hand with that person: "Commander Liao is busy with work, but I'm an idler. I heard that Commander Liao is here this time, so I hurried over here? I didn't It's strange that the commander forgot about me, but the commander was the first to win."

Although he is the eldest son, he has no official position and is still young, so he sat on the left hand side of the man and still pushed him to take the position of master.

The man laughed loudly: "I can't say no to you. Don't say anything else, you are late again today, and you are not honestly fined for drinking!"

Liu Chongming took the wine glass from someone else, and drank it all in one gulp: "Commander Liao is here for me, right? Leave the Lord alone, Baba stares at me drinking."

The man didn't spare him lightly, staring at him and drank two more glasses: "Okay, Chong Ming, I'm getting better at drinking, I'll make a table some other day, don't hide."

After chatting with him for a while, the man turned his head to respond to the reconciliator's words, asking him to sit down as he pleases.

Liu Chongming was originally just making a place for others this time.

Previously, the household department was not able to turn over money and food in a timely manner, and had some quarrels with this person. He found out about this through his second uncle, sold the favors of both sides, and made a hand in the middle.

It's not bad inside and out, but I got to know Commander Liao a lot more, not to mention that the household department is under the jurisdiction of the second uncle, so he should go through the motions.

Before the seat was opened, he held his teacup and looked at Commander Liao through the thin mist, thinking about the conversation he had with that person earlier.

"The song you sang to me that day, where did you learn it, or did Qu Shenzhou learn it?"

Qu Chenzhou didn't want to talk to him directly, and answered the wrong question: "Your Majesty asked the wrong question."

"how?"

"Rather than caring about that song, my son, we should ask, who is our first target, isn't it?"

He felt a little frustrated, although there were indeed more important things to do right now, but the person in front of him was full of mysteries, so he couldn't help but be distracted.

"Okay... well, what do you want me to do?"

"My son is wrong again," Qu Chenzhou corrected him bitterly: "It's not what I think, but what my son should do, not for me, but for yourself—has your son ever considered becoming an official?"

Of course he thought about it, but he still couldn't decide where to go, and no one could give him directions.

In fact, in a sense, the appearance of Qu Shenzhou is like a driftwood that fell from the sky, giving him a support and support for floating in the water.

In the confusion, there is hope, and there is also unknown fear. I don't know where they will drift together, and what is the end of this river.

"I've thought about it, the Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple, and the Ministry of Officials have all considered it, but I haven't decided where to go yet."

No matter where these three places are, they are all considered by him to investigate the matter of his eldest brother.

"The Criminal Department and Dali Temple can be considered, but these two places are just a springboard for the future. The place you should go most is..."

Liu Chongming's eyes fell not far away, endured the humiliation of the household servant who had to apologize, and then moved to the commander Liao.

His uncle walked through the bloody road of the battlefield in a serious manner, but he didn't have the hostility on the brows of Commander Liao. Although he was smiling, it seemed that he would turn his face and slash someone at the next moment.

No wonder it is said that those who wear official uniforms are the enemies of Commander Liao.

Qu Shenzhou dropped a son: "Splendid Camp."

"You want me to go to Jinxiu Camp?"

He never had the idea of ​​Jinxiu Camp, one is that he can't, and the other is that he doesn't want to.

The Jinxiu Camp is a yamen established by the emperor outside the Third Division, and it belongs to the emperor's confidantes. Although no one has said it clearly, everyone knows that in addition to assisting duties, the Jinxiu Camp is more about doing things that are inconvenient to the public. do.

It was a loyal dog held by the emperor, and Liao Guangming was also chosen by the emperor after careful consideration.

Even if the Jinxiu camp is said to be a mess, as long as Liao Guangming is held firmly in the hands of the emperor and comprehends the holy will, what else can it do.

What's more, it was originally used to do invisible things, so what's the use of being so grand?

Liu Chongming is dignified and stable Hou Shizi, even if he is facing the emperor, he can't imagine himself being so humble and small.

Seeing him frowning and not speaking, Qu Shenzhou didn't force it.

"My son, Marquis Liu is fair and honest, and he is impartial to the princes. He is regarded as the leader of the neutral faction in the court, but whether he is really neutral or not depends on what the emperor thinks."

"It's certainly admirable for Lord Hou to do things for the court so quietly and wholeheartedly, but if three people become tigers, once there are slanderous words, do you expect the emperor to pay attention to it?"

"If you really want to show your loyalty, you should stand in front of the emperor, let him see clearly, and let him feel that your strengths and weaknesses are all in his hands. With the emperor's trust as a backing, everything can be done easily."

Liu Chongming wanted to defend himself.

Liao Guangming has been the emperor's confidant for many years, how could he be easily replaced by a brat like him?

Moreover, the power of the Bailiu family in the court could not be underestimated, so the father lived in seclusion. If he really assumed the position of commander of the Jinxiu Battalion, wouldn't it push the two families to the forefront?

"It is to be at the top of the limelight, to seek wealth and wealth, and when the imperial concubine and empress are pregnant, you will not be able to hide even if you want."

As if seeing his embarrassment, Qu Chenzhou answered him honestly: "When I was still alive, the prince did not become the commander of the Jinxiu Camp. I also considered for a long time before choosing this method."

"Compared to other positions, the position of Commander of the Jinxiu Battalion is the safest position. It is the closest to the emperor, although it is also the most difficult to obtain."

"Have you ever thought about it, the Bailiu family is powerful, so the emperor doesn't want to hold the son in his hands?"

"If you want to deal with the princes, who is the best spear?"

Qu Chenzhou stared at him, and spit out two words: "Your Majesty."

His heart moved.

In the previous half month, Qu Shenzhou hardly talked to him, saying that he needed to go through many things in the past quietly, and try his best to find a relatively easy way to go.

He specially arranged a room for him, and no one came to disturb him, but when he intentionally passed by the window, he saw Qu Shenzhou falling asleep on the table with a pen in one hand a few times.

Seeing such exhaustion, how could he be hard-hearted?

So even though Qu Chenzhou turned all the things he had written into black ashes in the censer and didn't let him see them, he came to this banquet without complaint.

"My son, until the end, how will we know who is the dog being led and who is the spear being danced?"

Whether Qu Chenzhou really has the power to confuse people, he can't help but think so.

For the first time in history, he obeyed other people's arrangements.

Otherwise, how could he be so involuntary?Such a rebellious road, he did not even discuss it with his father and sister, and stepped on it without hesitation.

Before going out this morning, he softened his voice for the first time in front of people as if obsessed: "Shen Zhou... don't blame me."

"My lord," Qu Chenzhou straightened his clothes for him before sending him out, "I will live up to you."

Sitting alone in the carriage, his nose was sore for nothing. Just these four words, he felt that those two months were not in vain, and he was not let down by anyone.

Seeing what the household assistant said, Liao Guangming grinned and didn't buy it. The middleman was talking anxiously, and Liu Chongming brought the wine glass over.

"Commander Liao said he missed me before, but I've been here for so long, and I'm just sitting on the bench."

Liao Guangming laughed loudly, took the wine glass with one hand, wrapped Liu Chongming's shoulder with the other, and patted Liu Chongming's shoulders several times: "Chongming, what you said is off the mark, brother, if I hadn't heard that you were here today, I wouldn't have willing to come."

"If that's the case, I'd love to hear it." Liu Chongming took the wine from the hands of others and smiled, "It's been a long time since I saw you, how many more drinks do you want?"

"Forget it, it's just your drinking capacity." Liao Guangming raised his hand and clinked a glass: "You can just say what you want, if you get drunk, even if Lord Hou doesn't say anything about me, the emperor will blame me sooner or later. Another day Brother find something else..."

Speaking of this, he suddenly tilted his head, lowered his voice and snickered: "I've heard people say that you also go to Huanyi Building as a regular customer? There is a young lady who was praised by you as the top card? Why did you suddenly become enlightened? "

Since he went there once with Bai Shiyan, Liu Chongming has indeed been there many times.If you don't look carefully, the boy's brows indeed have the charm of Qu Shenzhou, he can't help it.

It is precisely because he has only two points of charm that he will not be irritable for a long time after he comes back like he went to Qisheng Tower to secretly meet the Lord.

Even the sycamore tree would annoy him for no reason, he hated why the tree had no flowers, that's why there was no sleeping figure holding flowers in the porch.

Every time he passed by, the boy named Zhiwei would prepare tea according to his preference, and then dance for him.

That's all.

He stared blankly, not expecting that piece of wood to dance, but only thinking about when he could see that person smiling happily.

Liu Chongming nodded and admitted: "The child was born well and well-behaved, I like it."

"Then why didn't you take it away?" Liao Guangming was curious: "I heard that you took a small thing in your room recently?"

As early as when he went to the Huanyi Building, or even earlier, Mrs. Liu asked Du Quan to take him back. Such topics were indispensable in the entertainment room where Liu Chongming went. He has learned from the embarrassment and embarrassment at the beginning. Nonsense.

All are thanks to people.

"I want to take it, of course I take the young lady, I'm familiar with everything outside, it's just for fun now and then."

Liao Guangming couldn't believe it: "The things I gave you last year were all clean, and you returned them. Is this better than mine?"

Liu Chongming turned the wine glass and sneered: "Of course, there is only one in the world. Whoever wants a second one, I will pick his head for him."

"What's the only one? I heard that it's that little monster in Qisheng Tower, isn't it just that the eyeballs are different from people?" Liao Guangming curled his lips, disapproving: "I heard that it's disfigured and ugly? You can go down too Mouth?"

"Isn't it the same after blowing out the lamp? I just look at his eyes fresh."

Liao Guangming pointed at the table and educated him: "Chongming, you are still too young, eyes are nothing, if you want to play well, looks don't matter, the key is to be able to play. My few, all of them are trained|taught well It's the best product, you really don't plan to try it?"

"Commander Liao, he is good at the best, and he is good at little monsters."

"Where is the magic?"

Liu Chongming smiled deeply: "It's too wonderful."

The two looked at each other and laughed, and the people around finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Liu Chongming held up his wine glass and watched Liao Guangming pour the wine for him, as if he heard the man still talking in his ear.

"Liao Guangming is just a mediocre talent who can only play tricks. He is just suitable to stir up trouble among the princes. Let him stay for a while."

"In four years, you will replace Liao Guangming."
