Oriole Line

Fan the folding fan one after another.

Tang Yu couldn't figure out his Patriarch's thoughts from the sidelines. His Patriarch was stubborn. He had been wronged a lot during Wen Tao's absence in the past few months. Why did he finally come here now but stopped at the Changting Pavilion?

Tang Yu couldn't hold back and said: "Patriarch, why don't we go in?"

Pu Chen half-closed his eyes and slapped his folding fan twice: "No hurry."

Don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry, it doesn't seem like you are the one who travels day and night along the way... Tang Yu cursed in his heart, but he didn't dare to really say it.It wasn't until dusk and when the lights came on that Pu Chen said: "Take the black horse and go in quietly, don't disturb the others, let him come here to find me on horseback when you see him."

Needless to say, this "he" must be Wen Tao.Tang Yu was tired all the way, and quickly rushed into Jinyang City as if he had received an amnesty.A quarter of an hour later, one person and one rider came from the city. The person on the horse was wearing a light blue gown, and the long hair behind him fluttered with the wind under the moonlight. When the moon was gone, he suddenly felt that feeling of his heart being seized in an instant.

The Wu Qinglie horse has long been familiar with Wen Tao, and Wen Tao has been able to control it with only his right hand. The horse came to a stop in front of the carriage with a long howl. There are no personal guards, and there is obviously no sound through the curtain of the car, but it is clear that the people inside seem to be staring at him.He said softly: "You...you're here?" Although it was covered by the sound of panting, there was still some tremor in his voice.

The person inside took a deep breath, stretched out a hand and pulled Wen Tao onto the car. Before Wen Tao could react, he was kissed deeply, and the sense of familiarity overwhelmed him instantly.It was dark in the car, Wen Tao hooked Pu Chen's neck by feeling, found a gap between his lips and teeth, and said a little bit aggrieved: "It's already here, why don't you go in?"

Pu Chen grabbed his lips again, and said in an inaudible voice: "I shouldn't have come to see you first, I couldn't hold back..."

"Why..." Before Wen Tao finished speaking, Pu Chen brought him into another realm.There was no one around, only Wu Qinglie's horse was stamping its hooves, as if it was dissatisfied with the fact that it ran back and forth so hard but its master didn't show any sign, it neighed a few times, and the only one who answered it was still where it was. A slightly rocking carriage.

Finally, the carriage gradually stopped shaking, Wen Tao climbed out from Pu Chen's restraint, and persistently finished asking the question just now: "Why?"

Pu Chen opened a corner of the car curtain, let out a light breath, and a ray of moonlight came in, illuminating the two people in the car.Looking at the disheveled Wen Tao, Pu Chen didn't care at all about the tunic that fell on his shoulders, his mind was full of the "why" just now, and he couldn't help laughing for a while.He himself was not much better, he didn't bother to tidy up his clothes, subconsciously pulled up Wen Tao's collar, and explained solemnly: "I'm here to check on your errands with Xiang Hu, so I'm going to catch you all by surprise." .”

"Hmph, you don't believe me?" Wen Tao was dissatisfied.

Pu Chen's hand landed on Wen Tao's welt, caressed it for a while inadvertently and unconsciously, and then said: "It's not that I can't trust you, but I can't trust those cunning people around Pu. If they know that I'm here today, maybe How to act in front of me. Tell me, have they bullied you these past few months?"

Wen Tao chuckled: "How can they beat me with their brains? Besides, there is General Xiang Hu and the troops he brought to back him up. Not to mention your people from the Pu family, even the people from the state capital dare not do anything to us. Sample."

"Oh, so arrogant? So I overestimated them?" Pu Chen tidied up the clothes of the two of them, and lightly grabbed Wen Tao's waist.

"Do you want to go and see for yourself?" Wen Tao raised his eyebrows.

"That's exactly what I mean!" Pu Chen's eyes lit up.As soon as he got out of the carriage, after making some arrangements, he led a few teams of personal guards to investigate all the family land of more than 800 mu belonging to the Pu family outside Jinyang city, and counted the population of the food town one by one. Preliminary inspections were completed before dawn.

On the second day, it was spread throughout Jinyang that the Patriarch of the Pu family was haunted and haunted, and the matter of the Clan Tian Shiyi was investigated in one night.He intended to personally supervise whether the land of the Pu clan was strictly in accordance with the family's order to rectify it before the special envoy of the imperial court came. Who knows that there is no inappropriate distribution of land, mu and food, but it was his unexpected night inspection that accidentally broke it. Some messy adultery, and inexplicably caught a few petty thieves, making the dignified Patriarch of the Pu family seem like Li Zheng, who is in charge of law and order in the county government, and was ridiculed by Wen Tao all the way.It is said that in the next few months, the Pu family is simply a model of Jinyang's aristocratic family.

Early the next morning, Pu Chen returned to Pu's old residence in Jinyang City with two dark circles under his eyes. It’s the rebirth of Wenquxing, no wonder the surname is Wen! With such a large population, what brothers are at odds with each other, orphans and widows, old and helpless, and those who see the sky are crying poor here, don’t they just want to divide more land. One by one, the first Patriarch is still alive When talking about things, how can there be such rules when there are many fields at that time. I will be annoyed to death by them. Thumbs, boasting and boasting to Wen Tao.What he said was the truth, if it wasn't for Wen Tao, this trip would have caused chaos and disharmony within the clan.It is said that several aristocratic families in Bingzhou were arguing over this land occupation order, and they still don't know how it will end.

Wen Tao said narrowly: "General Xiang used to say that I charmed the Patriarch, that I was a coquettish."

Xiang Hu made a gesture to slap himself in the face and said: "That's the last general who has no eyes and no eyes. Master Wen must forgive the crime."

84, 84.

Pu Chen laughed, looking at Xiang Hu, who was almost over half a hundred years old, feeling a burst of gratitude in his heart.He remembered that Xiang Hu had not been idle in the past few years. Before the change of Renzi, he led a small group of people to dig secret tunnels in Luoyang.Thinking about this, Pu Chen said: "By the way, General Xiang, the secret passages in Luoyang Palace are useless now, hurry up and fill in all the secret passages in Luoyang Palace."

Xiang Hu replied: "Yes." But he seemed hesitant to speak.

"What's wrong?" Pu Chen knew that Xiang Hu was a rough man, he couldn't hide anything on his face.

"Patriarch, we have dug this tunnel so hard. Even if it needs to be filled, it doesn't have to be filled in. We can also leave a way out." Xiang Hu said unwillingly.

Wen Tao's complexion sank, and Pu Chen said seriously: "No! Your Majesty almost fell into Beiyan back then because of these secret ways. We succeeded this time because of these secret ways. Your Majesty already knows this With the existence of secret ways, how can we sleep peacefully again? As a courtier, if you think about leaving a way out for yourself in such a matter, it is tantamount to seeking your own death."

Hearing this, Xiang Hu knelt down quickly and said, "The general will know his mistake. Let someone else do it."

Wen Tao glanced at him and said: "The head of the family should send a letter to His Majesty, let the people in the palace hand over to General Xiang, and make sure this matter is settled."

"Exactly." Pu Chen responded.

A month later, the special envoys sent by the imperial court visited the fields and villages of aristocratic families in various prefectures. Investigating these deeds clearly not only severely punished many big northern families who were obedient and violative, but also removed several eunuchs in Jiangbei for this reason.

The Jinyang Pu Clan was considered a clear stream during this inspection. The dignified Sima's family land was actually less than [-] mu, and the division of land within the clan was reasonable, everyone praised it.With Pu Chen as the benchmark, even if the families of the ministers in the court were severely punished and their land was confiscated, they could only pinch their noses and dare not say anything, for fear of offending the new emperor, and even the court officials would not be punished. Do.Zhou Yu took this opportunity to go a step further and distribute the recovered fields to the people who moved back to the north.However, in just half a year, the five states in Jiangbei have gradually shown signs of recovery.

At the end of the year, Zhou Yu specially ordered Pu Chen to bring Wen Tao to Luoyang earlier, so that he could have a good reunion with them before the imperial court's New Year banquet.

When Pu Chen and Wen Tao arrived in Luoyang, it happened to be a young year.Since Zhou Yu came to the throne, every time Pu Chen came to Luoyang, he could feel at ease, and even the number of personal guards was reduced by half.The weather was cold, Pu Chen and Wen Tao were sitting in the car, Wen Tao was holding a small hand stove, lifted the curtain of the car and peeked out from time to time.

Pu Chen wondered, "What are you looking at?"

"I've never seen Luoyang properly before. After all, it's the ancient capital of three dynasties." Wen Tao retracted his head, and two thin snowflakes fell on his eyelashes, which melted instantly and turned into crystal clear water beads, hanging on his eyelids superior.

Pu Chen reached out to help him wipe off the water drops, and his fingers touched his cheek, which was icy cold.He was a little dissatisfied and said: "Don't watch it, it's cold outside. If you really want to see it, I'll bring you to Luoyang again in spring."

Wen Tao let out a muffled "hmm".After returning from Jinyang, there was no important business in Da Sima's mansion, Wen Tao has been very leisurely, so leisurely...boring.

Pu Chen lifted the curtain of the car by himself, and glanced at the Luoyang Palace that was about to arrive. The majestic palace was hidden in the mist of winter.This was originally the world that he had at his fingertips. Although he had never coveted it before, but now that he came back here again, thinking that the master of the world inside had changed, he felt somewhat inexplicable and complicated feelings from the bottom of his heart.

As soon as they arrived at Luoyang Palace, Zhou Yu personally came to greet them at the gate of the palace.Not long after Zhou Yu first came to the throne, although he was wearing a dragon robe, he still behaved as before.Zhou Yu was in high spirits,
