I write novels in the East Palace

Yun Fuzi was dead, and his body was stiff when he was found. His clothes and face were deliberately tidy and tidy, and he was no longer as embarrassed as before. Even the hair on the sideburns was meticulously combed. Serene and calm.

Almost certainly a suicide.

However, no matter whether it was suicide or homicide, if such a thing happened in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, it was dereliction of duty, and it was enough to be held accountable. The first person who found the scene of the crime was the guard who was watching the night and the jailer who was in charge of delivering food.

The two men realized that something was wrong when they saw that Yun Fuzi was not alive at all. They hurriedly took the key and opened the door, stepped forward cautiously and sure enough, they were already out of breath. Yun Fuzi's body happened to lose its balance and fell to the ground unexpectedly. The two jailers were so frightened that they fell to the ground limply on the spot.

Then he staggered to report, and soon the coroner came for the autopsy.

Except for a few scratches on Yun Fuzi's body from the day he was arrested, there were no obvious scars on his body - the case of the Hongmeng Sect was still under investigation by the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and the Ye Yulin Army's action was a temporary counterattack, which was naturally impossible As good as it is, there are still one or two fish that slip through the net.

The Ministry of Criminal Justice is searching for these people, and has investigated all their relatives and friends within the three clans. This is a very huge workload, so there is no time to interrogate Yun Fuzi.

Unexpectedly, people died like this. This matter is negligent to the jailer, but it is incompetent to the court officials of the Ministry of Punishment.

The Minister of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs brought the left and right servants down the dungeon with a cold face, "Back then, the Hongmeng Sect robbed the prison and entered our Ministry of Criminal Affairs as if entering a land without people. Now this person has died quietly in the prison. Is the Ministry of Criminal Justice so incompetent?!"

"Check! Check it out for me! Check it carefully!"

The final result was, of course, suicide.

At first, Wu Zuo couldn't find a way to start. After searching all over the body, he couldn't find any wounds, and there was no sign of poisoning. Finally, he found an unknown long and thin groove on the plain wooden hairpin on the head of the deceased. Wu Zuo looked at the temple with a flash of inspiration. The tiny red dot stretched out his hand hesitantly, and unexpectedly pulled out an unusually long silver needle!

This silver needle is as long as the palm of an adult, and it penetrates into the brain, almost penetrating the entire brain.

Wu Zuo put the silver needle into the slender groove on the plain wood hairpin, the length and size were just right, no wonder the Ministry of Punishment couldn't find it out.

"This person committed suicide." Wu made a decision.

Zhou Chengyi left the city at dawn while the sky was still dark. Normally, the city gates should be closed at this time, but today's situation is special. The emperor ordered the watchtowers at the city gates to be brightly lit. The Habayashi Army at the gate of the city stood in several rows.

Although it was under the guise of searching for the fleeing rebels from the Hongmeng Sect, in fact Zhong Liyue was sent ten miles away from Chang'an City to go on an expedition.

The scene was very grand. When Zhong Liyue came, he only brought [-] mail troops with him, of which [-] assault troops were taken away by Pei Shengyi, but when he left now, there should have been only [-] mail troops left. Ten thousand people, and these are only candidates selected by Zhong Liyue whose military status has been transferred to the Mail Armor Army.

Others include the firearms battalion and heavy cavalry selected from the Apocalypse Army, and the assault cavalry, infantry, and spearmen from the Habayashi Army, which together form an expeditionary army of 30 people. head.

Four military flags were unfurled in front of this vast team, the first one was the national flag of Xiao Guo, followed by the red flag of Yue, the black flag of Tianqi Army with astrology map, and the blue and white flag of Habayashi Army without characters.

The only ones who came to see him off were the emperor, court officials, and the two princes and princesses Zhou Chengyi and Luwu. Zhou Chengyi originally wanted to bring Fang Guanyan, but the latter refused on his own.

"My current status is sensitive after all, so I shouldn't be there." Fang Guanyan said.

Zhou Chengyi could only sigh regretfully, stretched out his hand to comfort his head, and said with some certainty, "One day, you won't have to be restricted like this, and you will become a romantic figure who will last forever. At that time, I probably want you to take me there."

This is a promise that only two people know.

Zhou Chengyi's carriage and the emperor's carriage left the city one after the other. When they arrived, they found that Luwu was already there. Zhou Chengyi was surprised and asked, only to find out that his sister had come with Zhong Liyue.

"It's really a bear's heart and a leopard's courage." The emperor pointed to Lu Wu, but his expression was not displeased, on the contrary, he showed a bit of hidden satisfaction.

Lu Wu stuck out her tongue and gave a playful smile, with a bit of sharpness, but also implied a sense of intimacy, said, "My son came here uninvited, father, please don't blame me, son, this is all thanks to father." Learned, this is called a tiger father without a dog daughter."

When the emperor was able to govern himself, he rode out of Xinwumen at night to find Zhong Liyue, and then the two went to search the house of a powerful minister overnight, and found the dragon robe and crown from the residence of the powerful minister.The official wanted to run away, but Zhong Liyue flew his halberd to separate his head and nailed his head to the pillar.

It is known as the Xinwumen coup in history.

That mansion is exactly where Jiang Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry lives now. In the long corridor in the big courtyard where the ice is lying on the ice, a candlestick is abruptly inlaid on the sixth pillar from the entrance, just to cover it up. The deep traces left behind.

Lu Wu's words can be said to be advanced, offensive, retreating, and defensive, without losing closeness and flattery.

In short, no matter who heard it, no one would care about whether it was inappropriate for a princess to come out like this. Even Zhong Liyue felt happy and talked about the things at that time endlessly.

Zhou Chengyi originally had a high opinion of Lu Wu, but now he felt that he seemed to be underestimated, so he couldn't help but look up.

However, in half a year, this little princess has become quite different. She has grown a little taller, and the baby fat on her face has also decreased. Not only that, but the way she dresses and the expression on her face have also changed a lot.

Wearing a light yellow cloak and a pair of black soap boots on his feet, the whole person is neatly packed, his eyes are black and bright, and the calm emotion inside is not at all like a child should have.

It is not wrong to say that she looks like an emperor.Although Zhou Chengyi had never met the young emperor who staged the coup, he probably could have a sneak peek at some of them.

The time has come, the wind is whistling, the flags are flying, Wang He unfurls the imperial decree and recites the above "Hu crimes should be punished". There are too many crimes in the filth of aid materials.

Zhou Chengyi closed his eyes when he heard the huge number of casualties.

Not only did the edict arouse the blood of the soldiers, but even the courtiers of the peace faction could not help crying.

Holding the wine bowl, Zhong Liyue stepped forward and stood still. He paid respects to his superior from a distance, his voice was low and deep, the deep groove between his eyebrows was reflected by the candlelight, as if a thick puddle had accumulated. of blood.

"Five years ago, I said, 'If you don't break the Beihu oath, you won't return it'. I led the troops into Xidu, the King Khan of the Beihu was killed by my halberd, and retreated to Cangzhou. There was civil strife in Beihu. What I thought was When it becomes more chaotic, we will raise our troops to attack and completely wipe out this evil seed, and then return to Beijing to return to command."

"However, I never thought that Beihu's human nature was wiped out, and the benevolence and righteousness of my king and the charity of our soldiers and people in Cangzhou were used as a knife to poison our country. This is why Cangzhou is suffering today, but I never imagined that they can still It went so far as to intercept our country's materials and use them as military funds."

Zhong Liyue drank the Zhu Jie wine in one gulp, smashed the bowl to the ground, and raised the black iron halberd in his hand, and made a deep mark on the ground.

He said: "Zhong Liyue returned to Cangzhou this time, and vowed to destroy the country and exterminate this evil clan, leaving no one behind!"

"Not one to stay! Not one to stay!" The soldiers below were all infected by Zhong Liyue's words, the roar of 30 people made the mountains and fields tremble, and the sound of frightened birds came one after another.

"Okay!" The emperor also drank his wine, and responded in a deep voice, "I, wait for the marshal, and wait for the soldiers to sing triumphantly!"

"Get on the horse and go to battle!" Tens of thousands of mail armored soldiers turned on their horses in a uniform order, Zhong Li Yue raised his whip, and the horse with white snow riding on dark clouds neighed and galloped away.

The assault army is at the front, followed by the mail army, followed by the cavalry battalion, and the firearms battalion carrying Western cannons and the food and grass troops are sandwiched in the middle, and the last ones are the largest infantry, swordsmen, and heavy cavalry. .

This is the second time for Zhou Chengyi to watch someone leave, but sending the fleet to the West was far less shocking than it is now.

What was even more shocking was that Zhou Chengyi knew that there were some people who couldn't come back.

War is the accumulation of human lives, and they shoulder the mission of defending their homes and the country. They are carrying forward with heavy burdens for the peace and peace of the people in their homeland.

"Come back alive." Zhou Chengyi heard the emperor whispering what was in his heart beside him.

He turned his head sideways, and suddenly found that the emperor's temples had grown white hair at some point, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes became more and more clear. Even when he was watching people going away, he squinted his eyes into slits because he couldn't see clearly. The tiredness and old age hidden between the eyebrows and eyes can be seen at a glance.

And next to him is Luwu with blazing eyes. She is full of vigor and high-spirited, and her young and immature eyebrows are full of sharpness and vigor. She is still young, and everyone can see it.

Zhou Chengyi kept this scene in his eyes, and later wrote it into the article. Fang Guanyan drew such a picture and hung it in the study.

Then the kings changed, and then the dynasties changed. The inevitable historical trend brought a new era. The painting was donated to the Capital Museum by a collector.

And this name "Alternation" has become a long-lasting test point in history textbooks, because it recorded two major events that changed the Xiao Kingdom at that time: first, Zhong Liyue's Northern Expedition laid the cornerstone for Xiao Kingdom's hegemony in the future; It is the alternation of the young emperors who proclaim themselves emperors and take power.

This painting is known as the historical record in the painting. Compared with its artistic value, its historical value is more connotative.

It was around noon when Zhou Chengyi returned to the East Palace. As soon as he entered, he saw Fang Guanyan sitting in the courtyard in a daze, and only then did he know about Yun Fuzi's suicide.

Zhou Chengyi was a little surprised by this, but after careful consideration, it didn't seem to be surprising. At that time, Yun Fuzi understood that it was not Tang Henian who betrayed the Hongmeng Sect that caused Princess Chenyang's death, but Princess Chenyang's desire to burn everything, and Tang Henian just executed her. At the time of the final order, the belief that originally supported Yun Fuzi had collapsed.

Zhou Chengyi sighed, lowered his head and kissed Fang Guanyan's forehead comfortingly.

Yun Fuzi's death gave the Ministry of Criminal Justice a sense of urgency, and the matter of torturing traitors was also on the agenda. When Zhou Chengyi went to inquire about the execution of the little Taoist priests, when he passed by the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, he could hear the screams inside.

At the same time, Zhou Chengyi also learned something. No wonder Tang Henian let Fang Guanyan go at will insincerely, and ran so fast. It turned out that he was being hunted down by people inside the Hongmeng Sect, and he didn't know whether he was dead or alive.

However, Tang Henian really made the Hongmeng Sect miserable this time. This sect has completely disbanded, and it is impossible for it to rise again.

Although the little Taoist priests did not participate in the subsequent incidents, they were all aware of and participated in the kidnapping of the prince Zhou Chengyi, and they confessed to the matter, because they had a good attitude of admitting their mistakes and Zhou Chengyi pleaded for mercy. He was exempted from the death penalty, and he didn't have to go into exile, but he was put in prison by the Ministry of Industry as a laborer.

There are various industries under the Ministry of Industry, such as Xiufang, the Ministry of Carpentry, Ironware, etc., and a new experimental base dedicated to new crops and animal breeding has been newly opened-the name is naturally chosen by Zhou Chengyi.

In fact, Zhou Chengyi didn't want to either, but "Poor Scholar Farming" was exposed by the emperor. Naturally, the emperor couldn't just let him go, and let him take a idle job in the agricultural science genus, specializing in instructing experiments on new varieties.

Zhou Chengyi really wanted to say that what he knew was already written in the book, and he was really not as good as those children in the village school who took literacy classes, but he understood after he went to the experimental base to take a look.

Although what he knows is only superficial, but the basic general direction is still correct, and he has never eaten pork, at least he has seen pigs run, and often a seemingly insignificant sentence can save everyone who does the experiment from many detours.

The experimental base is short of manpower, so it’s a good time for the little Taoist priests to come in. There is food and accommodation here, three big steamed buns of white flour for each meal, and there will be meat and vegetables for lunch. The houses they live in need to be built by themselves. Money is also distributed every month, although it is only a mere two taels of silver.

However, for those who used to have insufficient food and clothing, lived in leaky and dilapidated houses, and were poor, let alone money, they could not even see copper coins.

The little Taoist priests were not only satisfied, but also worried, "Is this really here? Is this really a punishment? Or is this actually a cruel punishment, making us believe and telling us what we want?"

Zhou Chengyi and Jiang Shangshu were wondering if this treatment was a bit too much: "..."

"Hongmeng Sect..." Jiang Shangshu hesitated to speak.

Zhou Chengyi patted him on the shoulder, "Precise poverty alleviation."

The whereabouts of the little Taoist priests were determined in this way. Although it was said to be hard work, they thought it was a great thing.

Before Zhou Chengyi left, a little Taoist couldn't help but asked about Yun Fuzi. Zhou Chengyi remembered him as the one who mended his trousers.

Seeing that he was silent, he quickly waved his hand, "We don't want to inquire about anything, just... just, want to know if he is okay... These days we often hear screams from the ground..."

As he spoke, the little Taoist's voice weakened, and he finally said, "If you can't ask, then forget it, and please Your Highness."

"There's nothing we can't ask, he's fine." Zhou Chengyi lied, he didn't tell them that Yun Fuzi was dead, but said, "But he is guilty of treason, and the punishment must be heavy. I'm afraid you won't see each other again." It's his time."

The little Taoist priests were not afraid of this, but subconsciously asked, "Will you die?"

"Maybe." Zhou Chengyi nodded.

The little Taoist priests were actually not surprised, they had guessed the consequences long ago, but they couldn't help but feel disappointed when they heard the answer, even their lives were picked, let alone the master.

Zhou Chengyi paused, but said something sincere, "No matter what the result is, work hard here, maybe you can go out in the future."

When the little Taoist priests heard the word "go out", they immediately showed terrified expressions.

"..." Zhou Chengyi's brows twitched, and he said speechlessly, "Are you still planning to be a laborer here for the rest of your life, and just take this two taels of silver a month? Can you make a difference? You have such a good craftsmanship and went out to Xiufang If you apply for a job, you might not be able to find a good job.”

The little Taoist said weakly, "It is the owner of the embroidery shop who makes money, and the embroiderer can only get a small amount of money. Although the price of large embroidery is high, it also takes a long time to embroider. It takes twenty or thirty months to embroider small embroidery." Two dollars."

"Furthermore, food and housing are not included. Although the wages are high, they are not stable. If you meet a boss with a bad heart, he will take half of you, and there is no way to reason." Several other people added in a hurry.

The summary is that there is no security, tiring work, and high expenses.

It is similar to the modern five insurances and one housing fund.

Zhou Chengyi understands, this is probably the mentality of modern people who have thousands of troops and horses trying to be the king.

As September approached, Fang Guanyan began to prepare for the next year's spring exam. Under Zhou Chengyi's persuasion, he finally gave up his original idea and stayed in the East Palace instead, becoming another master behind the scenes of the East Palace.

They always stay together, and Zhou Chengyi doesn't hide his orientation at all. Maybe he will worry about Fang Guanyan's feelings on the outside. If you suppress it any more, you will be too sorry for yourself.

Therefore, it is difficult for the eunuchs and maids in the East Palace to know, and it was Chang Xia who pulled Lin Dong to warn and scare him behind his back, so the news did not get out.

However, because Zhou Chengyi went to the imperial hospital to get medicine every now and then, the news that His Royal Highness raised a witch with a lot of means, and the warmth of the hibiscus tent every day was widely circulated.

The voice of asking for the appointment of a crown princess appeared again in the court hall, but the emperor prevaricated it. Zhou Chengyi himself did not go to the court anyway, so he had full authority to say these words to the deaf.

Now the East Palace study is divided into two parts. Zhou Chengyi asked someone to move another desk, cleared the opposite side and arranged bookshelves and various stationery utensils. come here.

Zhou Chengyi knew that he liked calligraphy and painting, so he asked someone to get a lot of paints, and Fang Guanyan was happy to see Lie Xin, so he specially painted a few.

"Alternation" was produced at this time. Apart from this painting, half of it is Zhou Chengyi's portrait.

Fang Guanyan's paintings have the unique charm of ancient times. Perhaps the techniques are not as diverse and complicated as those of modern painters, but they are solid. He can outline Zhou Chengyi's charm with just a few strokes. It could be seen that it was Zhou Chengyi himself.

And his proficiency has reached the point where there is someone in his heart who can draw a picture, and he can draw whatever he thinks of, without much hesitation and thinking.

Even if Zhou Chengyi didn't know how to appreciate it, he also called it amazing.

Zhou Chengyi also remembered something at the same time, and looked at him meaningfully, "I heard that you provided all the portraits during my disappearance? Then I'm curious, how many pictures did you draw? And from what? When did you draw it?"

"...Of course, after seeing you." Fang Guanyan was vague.

As soon as Zhou Chengyi heard it, he knew that he must be lying. He teased casually, "When you see me, do you see me in person, or my articles?"

Fang Guanyan was silent, forcibly pressed his fingers that were about to curl up, and a drop of ink fell off the tip of the pen on the rice paper. He pretended to be nonchalant and blurted out the pen, turning this accident into a stroke of genius, only his neck was slightly hot.

Zhou Chengyi caught his pause for a moment, and his understanding of him was no longer what it was before. He instantly understood, and couldn't help but said, "Is it "Fox Dream"? Show me the painting?"

Fang Guanyan didn't deny it, but said with a blushing face, "No."

Now Zhou Chengyi became really curious, so he made a fuss about Fang Guanyan's insistence on looking at it, and even hugged him, buried his head in his neck and rubbed it back and forth, "Ayan, show me, it's me who drew it anyway, you The painting must be very good, show me, and I will do whatever you ask me to do in the future."

Fang Guanyan couldn't bear it anymore, so he finally nodded, but after asking someone to fetch the painting, he reminded, "Look, don't regret it."

"Of course not." He didn't know if it was Zhou Chengyi's illusion, but he always felt that what Fang Guanyan just flashed in his eyes was anticipation.

Until Zhou Chengyi unfolded the painting.

The painting is a good one, and the people are beautiful. The painting should have been completed when the first volume of "Fox Dream" was first published. They hadn't met each other before. The appearance of the people in the painting was Fang Guanyan's own imagination. , and because of racial reasons, his eyebrows and eyes look more evil, which is quite different from Zhou Chengyi himself.

Yes, racial reasons.

In this painting, Fang Guanyan painted him as a fox, holding a jade pipe, gently opening his mouth and puffing, sitting lazily on a soft couch, with a big silver-white tail coming from His back sticks out and climbs on his lap, the tip of his tail is slightly raised, and the original manuscript of "Fox Dream" is unruly spread on his lap, and the writing on it is a special imitation of his own shabby hot-eyed calligraphy.

As good-looking as a person is, the calligraphy is as ugly as it is. It is difficult for everyone to write Fang Guanyan's calligraphy.

Zhou Chengyi looked at it for a moment, then silently rolled it up and put it away.

But Fang Guanyan said, "You just said that after reading it, I will do everything according to me, is it true?"

"..." Zhou Chengyi's heart was full of alarm bells, "You don't think you want me to dress up like this, do you? Others are fine, I can't grow a tail."

Fang Guanyan actually didn't think so, but since Zhou Chengyi said it himself, he followed suit and changed his words, "The tail is not important."

The author has something to say: the next chapter will fill in the pits, the fourth story of vest script, Baihualou Stealing Treasures.

Seriously, why didn't I think about writing this subject in the first place?What seems to be an article is actually written three, four, five, six, seven or eight.

small theater

Zhou Chengyi: Let’s forget about drawing, but writing... Do you think you are polite?

Fang Guanyan: The words are not important, let me see the real person.

Zhou Chengyi: Okay, wait, don't even think about getting out of bed tonight.

I found that you are all curious about what the prince's little hobby is, but actually he likes to watch Zigu lose control~ After all, Zigu's personality is still very good.
