Drunk Yangzhou

This sentence was like a bolt from the blue, and Su Yunpu's expression suddenly changed. He even forgot to break away from Ning Shuyan's offending hand.

"Prince who colludes with restless princes... If I play a book to the Holy One, can Master Su still wear the black gauze hat safely?" Ning Shuquan released his jaw with his fingers, and raised his hand to touch Su Yunpu's ear Official hat.

Su Yunpu tried his best to calm his face, met Ning Shuquan's gaze, and didn't say a word.

"What are you adults talking about here?" The sudden man's voice interrupted the stalemate. Su Yunpu turned around and saw Lu Yanqing in black armor. Behind Su Yunpu, Ning Shuyan, who was so domineering just now, shrank a little bit in an instant.

"Heh, Mr. Lu is very concerned about Mr. Su's matter. He is indeed a good classmate for many years." Ning Shuzhen sneered.

"Students care about each other, it's only reasonable, Master Ning doesn't think so?" Lu Yanqing smiled brightly.

"Ning just invited Mr. Su to go to the mansion for a drink... The imperial court just sent troops to Qinbei, thinking that the Ministry of War should be very busy, how about inviting Mr. Lu next time?"

Lu Yanqing laughed, "No problem, no problem, didn't you see that I've already paid off? Lao Ning, you're not called Lu at the banquet, but it's really uninteresting. I'm going to decide the game today!"

Ning Shuyan was taken aback by him, and then he said angrily: "The two of you can please!"

Ning and Lu fought like this, Su Yunpu already had a countermeasure in his mind, he was already very cautious in Yangzhou, it was almost impossible for him to miss the point, and even though he wanted to serve Xiaoge, he hadn't taken any practical action yet.The news from Xiao Ge was also top secret, even to Lu Yanqing he only revealed a little...

Sitting in the carriage to the Ning Mansion, Su Yunpu quickly screened out his cronies one by one in his heart, and finally his messy heart was completely settled down—Ning Shuyan was probably a false shot, and there was no real evidence, not to mention that this matter was He couldn't admit it to death... He made up his mind that he would rather be executed by the emperor when the incident happened, than be controlled by others and be a fish on the chopping board.Thinking of this, Su Yunpu gave Lu Yanqing a look, the two had known each other for many years, how tacit understanding, Lu Yanqing immediately understood, and secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

It was Ning Shuquan's wife's birthday today, and there was indeed a banquet in the mansion. The crowd of dignitaries and dignitaries in the courtyard were drinking and having fun, and the actors on the stage were babbling and singing ditties. Ning Shuquan went to the officials to socialize first. Fucai sat down beside Su Yunpu.

As soon as he came back, Lu Yanqing left his seat, went to the pavilion not far away to play drinking orders with the ministers, and glanced at the situation around Su Yunpu from time to time.

At this moment, only Su and Ning were left at the main banquet, and Ning Shuzhuan cut straight to the point and lowered his voice: "Master Su, what do you think about the matter just now?"

"Master Ning just said that Su Mou doesn't understand very well." Su Yunpu took a sip of wine, pretending to be wronged and said: "Although I have a relationship with Xiao Ge, Master Ning still looks down on Su Mou too much."

Ning Shuquan smiled complacently. He put beef with chopsticks into his mouth, and said vaguely: "But someone has found out about your intersection."

"Although Su hasn't married a wife yet, he definitely doesn't have Longyang's addiction. Master Ning has this preference, so he can't force it on Su, right?"

Ning Shuquan didn't expect him to go in this direction, and couldn't help being stunned.

Su Yunpu smiled secretly in his heart, continued to pour wine into his mouth, and put on a drunken attitude, "Xiaoge, the king of Guangling...that is certainly a beauty in the world...but Su Mou swears to God, he has absolutely no wrong thoughts about him!"

Ning Shuquan's anger suddenly came to his heart, and he finally understood that this person was pretending to be ignorant!He approached Su Yunpu's face, and said bitterly: "Su Yunpu, don't you fucking force me, I'm talking about uniting with King Xiao and rebelling against the master! Don't pretend to be here!"

"Treason what master? What kind of rebellion?" Su Yunpu seemed to be a little drunk, he transcribed Ning's book with blurred eyes: "The Qing is self-clearing. Is Mr. Ning short of impeachment targets again? Okay, take Su... ...Anyway...it's not the first time..." After finishing speaking, he turned sideways and fell drunk in front of the table.

In the study of the Su Mansion in the north of the city

"Okay, Xiaogui. You've grown!" Lu Yanqing wiped Su Yunpu's face with a hot towel, "Pretending to be drunk. Didn't you see that Ning Shuquan's face was purple with anger than a pig's liver."

"I drank too much tonight, almost really drunk." Su Yunpu's fair face was blushing, "Ning Shuquan had too many outrageous and absurd impeachments before, and he didn't have any evidence in hand. I'm not worried that he can Take me down. It's just that he said today that I was a traitor... but I was horrified, because I really... have this heart."

"A good bird chooses a tree to live in." Lu Yanqing sat down at the side, poured him a cup of tea and passed it over, "Anyone with a discerning eye can see how much you have done for Daxia! It's just that the emperor can't help him up, what can he do? ? You can’t be foolish and loyal, right?”

"Speaking of this, it's really chilling." Su Yunpu sobered up a little after drinking the bitter kudzu root tea, and sighed: "The emperor obviously still trusts ministers from the same clan in Daxia, and the military power is firmly held by the Privy Council. We, ministers with foreign surnames, don’t know anything about sending out troops. Only when the troops arrived in Qinbei did they order the Ministry of Households to allocate rations... As for carrying them into the two provinces, it’s just a dream.”

"Yan Ying once said, 'If the king dies for the society, he will die... If he dies for himself, and dies for himself, it is not for his own personal rights, who would dare to let it go?' Lu Yanqing smiled: "In fact, it is right for the emperor to be more cautious. , it's hard to guarantee that people like us leaked the news. "

"Can you bet on the right treasure?" Su Yunpu also smiled, "This time the king of Yu made a surprise attack, can that dude Fu Yiting withstand it?"

"Are you worried about Xiao Ge's safety? He is single and weak in Qin Bei, can he retreat completely?"

"It's best to sift out real dragons from the surf in this battle. In this way, you and I won't..." Su Yunpu said, his eyes couldn't help getting a little wet.

Lu Yanqing also looked solemn when he heard the words. After a moment of silence, he patted Su Yunpu's hand on the table.

He wanted to appease the other party, but he was so shocked by the smooth skin on the man's hand that he couldn't bear to withdraw his hand.

Su Yunpu raised his eyes to meet Lu Yanqing's eyes, and also noticed something strange, the redness on his face deepened a bit.

It was Lu Yanqing who recovered first, withdrew his hand, and stood up straight, "It's getting late, Xiao Gui, you should rest earlier, I should go home too."

Su Yunpu suddenly felt a sense of reluctance, "It's really late, Jiang Ping, you... just stay in the mansion, it's fine."

"That's all. I still have some things to go back to take care of, and I'll meet you for a drink sometime." Lu Yanqing didn't want to stay, but he was really worried that he would do something out of his control if he stayed here, so he pretended to smile lightly and left Su Yunpu's study.

The next day, the Ministry of Officials really handed over a notebook. Su Yunpu knew that he was impeaching himself, so he couldn't help but feel uneasy. His "New Theory on Salt Politics" had already been sent for printing, and it would be handed over to the emperor in a short time. I don't care about my life or death, I'm afraid that my earnest views on reforming the salt administration will be neglected by the emperor.

Su Yunpu recalled his father's emaciated appearance, and his eye sockets couldn't help swollen hot.All of them have tasted the bitterness of eating without salt.In the eighth year of Xiping, spring was just right, and it was the season of planting, but everyone in the village was listless. Stacks of pancakes were thrown on the stalls, steamed by the sun until they were crispy, but no one could eat them...

The salt fields in Huaihe, Changlu and other places are vast, like piles of snow, but in their Lu land, a catty of salt costs a few taels of silver. Some people in the neighboring villages couldn't stand it. Copying... From then on, Su Yunpu secretly set his ambition to let the people in his hometown, and even the people in the whole Daxia, have salt to eat.

The printed version has been handed in for a few days, but there is no response from the emperor, and there is no news about the impeachment. Su Yunpu goes to the palace every day to have a massage, but the emperor is nowhere to be seen. Xi Chui, knowing that today would be enough to see the emperor, had no choice but to leave sadly.

After walking a few steps, he happened to see Eunuch Feng, the great eunuch in front of the emperor, in the hallway, and rushed forward to meet him, "Eunuch, is Your Majesty in the palace now?"

"Yo, Lord Su." Eunuch Feng squinted his eyes and smiled, "Your Majesty took some concubines to the Fragrant Hills Palace for a spring outing two days ago, and now he just came back, and he is writing notes in the South Study Room."

Su Yunpu took out a string of expensive Tibetan beeswax beads from his sleeve, and put them in Eunuch Feng's hand, "Please, Eunuch, pass us a sign. Su wants to see the emperor."

"Master Su is really polite." Eunuch Feng smacked his lips, and happily put the beads into his arms, "Please wait here for a while."
