After Waking up Beside the Villain

The old beast, Prince Chu, did not continue to discuss with his subordinates on the question of who caught who.

In the next few days, his plan to lay out the house began to move slowly, and he was no longer so free, and he always had time to flirt with Lu Fenglou.

It's just that on the Luanjia when going to court every day, there is always a tall and slender figure as usual, which has never been missing.

Lu Fenglou sat in the Luanjia after drinking the medicine every day. He was tired of the bitter medicine, but he had to face the owner of the bitter medicine after drinking the medicine. The little emperor's mood became worse and worse. higher.

Within two days, Chu Yunsheng saw the crux of the matter, and when he entered Luanjia again, he had a small box of sweet dates in his hand, and when Lu Fenglou calmed down, he opened it.

Lu Fenglou raised his eyebrows and tilted his head, but Chu Yunsheng's fingers pinching the sweet date had already reached his lips, and forcefully pushed away Lu Fenglou's lips, sending in the sweet taste.

Lu Fenglou didn't refuse either. After eating the dates, Chu Yunsheng took the date stones and cleaned them up simply.

After cleaning up, when he turned his head, Chu Yunsheng could see Lu Fenglou snuggled up on his cloak, leaning against him and falling asleep in a daze, like a little wolf curled up in fear of the cold.

But it was only a short nap, and when he was about to reach the Tai Chi Hall, the little wolf cub woke up and kicked him off the Luanjia in a hurry.

Such peace in the open and in the dark is really rare, and it is not easy for it to last only a few days.So when Chu Yunsheng received a secret invitation from the four great families at the old prince's birthday banquet, it was not too much of a surprise.

The place to drink tea is in a courtyard in the suburbs of Beijing where red plums are in full bloom.

After Chu Yunsheng came down, he rode out of the city with Di Yan, wrapped in a big cloak and stepping on the snow.

Still far away, you can see a few branches of red plums slanting out from the high blue brick wall. The bright colors are eye-catching, sandwiched in the white snow of the world, as if some poor blood stains have been splashed by someone. .

In front of Chu Yunsheng, the regent who held the military power, the four great families who are used to being human would not put on untimely airs of prestige. When Chu Yunsheng was about to arrive, the heads of the four families had already gone out to greet him.

Among them, the Patriarch of the Zhao family seemed particularly enthusiastic. After the salute, he put on a smile on his face. A hot spring courtyard of an old uncle, not to mention how precious it is, no one is allowed to enter, and few people know, this time the plum appreciation tea party is here, but I put down my old face and begged for it!"

"There are several kinds of plum trees in the courtyard, all of which were moved from the border or the northern country, and the color is definitely not comparable to those vulgar pinks in the capital..."

Several people walked in, winding paths and corridors, compared with the majestic and majestic buildings in the capital, it was a bit more graceful in the south of the Yangtze River.

And in this graceful, there are clusters of wintersweet, dotted among the blue bricks and white snow, which is very gorgeous.

This Patriarch Zhao really seems to be a man who loves plum blossoms, talking about all kinds of plum blossoms on both sides of the road.Chu Yunsheng listened indifferently, and kept silent until he entered the small pavilion for admiring plum blossoms, and said: "The plum blossoms here are very good, but the red plums in Beijing are more colorful."

As soon as this remark came out, Patriarch Zhao's voice paused, and the four patriarchs quickly looked at each other.

The chubby Patriarch Qian squinted his small eyes and said with a smile: "What the prince said is very true. The things of the people are after all the things of the people. How can they compare with the location of the capital?"

The word "position" was stepped on by him with no seriousness.

The previous cover-up of turning around and turning around was finally lifted a little bit, and the wit in these words came out.

"That's true." Chu Yunsheng's tone was still neutral, and there seemed to be no superfluous expression on his face.

After entering the pavilion, a few people took their seats, and Di Yan stood behind Chu Yunsheng. The head of the Zhao family ordered someone to bring up a small white jade wine jar, and said with a smile, "This is the fairy drunk in Lingnan, so many jars a year, it's useless. Liaochen sent a few thousand-mile horses to Beijing just a few years ago, and the taste is extraordinary."

"My lord, please!"

Another two beautiful maidservants came up to Kaifeng to pour wine, and the luthier in white sat in the snow with his qin in his arms, playing quiet qin music.

Chu Yunsheng is used to playing straight balls, but that doesn't mean he won't play tricks.There were not many descriptions of the family in the original plot, even though Bei Hanfeng and Mu Qingjia made the family withdraw from the court and broke free from the family's confinement in the finale, it is still undeniable that the centipede is dead but not stiff, the family is just It was severely damaged, but it was not completely eradicated.Knowing that the aristocratic family is powerful, since Chu Yunsheng set the raising of Lu Fenglou as his goal, he must fight against the aristocratic family, so it is essential to understand his enemy more realistically.

Apart from the two sentences when they entered the pavilion, the five of them sat opposite each other afterwards, as if they were leisurely appreciating plum blossoms, warming the wine, listening to the music of the zither, watching the fine snow falling and the falling red plums.

The chatter in the mouth is also full of anecdotes from the court, folk rumors, and some food and wine.

After drinking for three rounds, Patriarch Qian seemed drunk, Yuanyuan's face flushed a little, and he said jokingly: "Speaking of interesting folk rumors, I don't know what your lord has been listening to lately?"

Chu Yunsheng raised the tails of his eyes slightly, knowing that the main event was finally coming, he said, "This king doesn't know much about folk affairs."

Patriarch Qian exchanged glances with the other three patriarchs calmly, and finally looked at Di Yan in the pavilion.Chu Yunsheng frowned slightly, waved his hands, and Di Yan walked out of the pavilion with his head down.

Patriarch Qian chuckled and narrowed his eyes: "My lord, it's not that the ministers can't trust your bodyguards, it's just that the rumors among the people are the most vicious, killing people invisible. If we talk about it, we're afraid that something will be leaked, it doesn't look good .”

Chu Yun said: "What does Master Qian mean by this?"

Patriarch Qian touched the beard under his chin, and said in a low voice: "Have you ever heard some rumors about the emperor?"

Chu Yunsheng didn't answer, but raised his eyebrows and looked at Patriarch Qian.

Patriarch Qian said with a smile: "There are several sets of rumors about our emperor in the gossip books, and they can't be finished. It's just that this one has something to do with you, my lord. Those ignorant people have been bullied by their superiors, Just when you came back from a great victory at the border, the lord, the anger and joy in your heart collided, and everyone said that the one above your head was incompetent, but you, the lord...have a dragon and a phoenix appearance, and you have the people in your heart, which is...the image of a wise king."

The last few words were deliberately lowered, and they were spoken very lightly, but they struck everyone's ears like thunder.

The pavilion was silent for a while, except for the sound of wind and snow on all sides, and the soft sound of the falling cotton curtains.

In this eerie silence, Patriarch Zhao laughed slowly: "There are only five people in this pavilion, and the words here cannot reach the sixth pair of ears. You can rest assured about some things. There have been rumors about this Zen seat among the people for some time. Yes, there is a saying that 'the people can carry a boat, but they can also overturn it', but the prince has never thought about being the one who holds the oars?"

The last hidden thing has also been exposed to the light.

Chu Yunsheng looked up at the heads of the four great families who were sitting around the table.

Among the four pairs of eyes, one pair was staring at him inexplicably, two pairs were lowering their eyes as if falling asleep, and the other pair was fascinated by the wine in the glass.

But no matter what these four pairs of eyes were doing, he could feel that there were four hungry wolf-like gazes staring at him, ready to greedily tear him to pieces at any moment.

"Master Zhao, there are certain things that cannot be said regardless of whether there is another pair of ears outside the wall." Chu Yunsheng said.

Patriarch Zhao smiled: "What about the prince? Maybe the prince is right?"

Chu Yunsheng didn't answer this question full of deep meaning, but changed his mouth and said: "Master Zhao, if the rumors are to come true, what does the family need from this king?"

Patriarch Zhao didn't speak, but Patriarch Sun, who was next to him with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, laughed: "My lord, those who do great things don't care about small things, why do you have to look forward and backward? Our family has rooted all its roots in this country. Naturally, we hope that the world will become more and more prosperous." Alright, the sea is clear, the rivers are clear, and the world is peaceful. Today's saints are ineffective. Over the years, the border has lost several cities, and the business there is also in chaos. If this chaos continues, sooner or later it will affect the Central Plains and Jiangnan. This is not what the family wants to see of."

Patriarch Sun raised his hand to pour a glass of wine, and put both hands in front of Chu Yunsheng: "But you are different, my lord. You know how to fight, and you dare to fight. The overall situation of the border and the Central Plains still needs a monarch like you to come out to preside over it..."

Chu Yunsheng looked down at the glass of wine in front of him, and said calmly, "If that's the case, why does the aristocratic family support the peace talks?"

Patriarch Sun's face changed slightly, and he glanced at Patriarch Zhao.

During this brief confrontation, Chu Yunsheng had already seen clearly the positions and temperaments of the four Patriarchs.

The main family of these four great aristocratic families is Zhao Qiansunli's Zhao family.There are many people in the Zhao family who are engaged in politics, Mr. Zhao is even a well-known Confucian, with peaches and plums all over the world, and there are countless disciples in the court.The Qian family, on the other hand, was good at doing business and held the economic lifeline of most of the Jin Dynasty.As for the Sun family, they are known as Zhuge's family, they are good at calculating, and they are also the noble family.As for the Li family, it is the only one of the four families that was born in the military. There are many soldiers, but because the Jin Dynasty emphasizes civility over military affairs, the Li family is the lowest among the four families. The head of the Li family is a general. He didn't speak much from beginning to end.

Among the four, the one who can make the most decisions is naturally Patriarch Zhao.

Upon receiving Patriarch Sun's gaze, Patriarch Zhao's eyes flickered, and he still had that kind and meaningful smile on his face, and said, "My lord, my Dajin reconciliation is really a last resort, and you know the pros and cons of it. Endure the anger for a while, so that you can plan for the future."

Chu Yunsheng smiled slightly: "In this way, Mr. Zhao embraced this king to become the throne just for the sake of peace in the world and prosperity of the Jin Dynasty... other things, nothing else?"

Patriarch Qian laughed at the side: "Your Majesty said that! The ministers are naturally seeking peace in the world, but you also know that from ancient times to the present, the change of dynasty is a major event that shakes the world. There will never be redemption... We will help the prince, and I beg the prince to give me peace of mind."

"What is peace of mind?" Chu Yunsheng asked.

Patriarch Qian, who is good at negotiating business, showed all his eyes: "The benefits of the world are three points."

Chu Yunsheng was a little surprised.

This is much lower than the four-point profit condition that was negotiated between the family and the regent in the original plot.Perhaps this is also related to his recently changed attitude.

Patriarch Qian continued: "If you compare the Great Jin Dynasty to a jade basin, and the officials, merchants, and soldiers in it are compared to gold and silver, then seven points of the gold and silver belong to you, my lord, and we only ask for it." A small three-point profit."

"Before this profit is distributed, whether it is money or people's hearts, we will completely surrender to you, my lord..."

Chu Yunsheng closed his eyes: "Now the aristocratic family occupies more than one-third."

The head of the Qian family shook his head: "My lord, you are wrong. In this court, you have power over the world, there are young dragons showing their sharp claws, and there are some ghosts and monsters watching in secret. It’s not as good as one point. That’s why we need a generous and wise king like you, Wang Ye, to give advice.”

Patriarch Qian had a very sincere expression on his fat face, and he stared at Chu Yunsheng with piercing eyes.

Chu Yunsheng didn't look at the glass of wine that Patriarch Sun put in front of him, but picked up the jug with his own hands, and poured himself a glass of wine slowly.

After the wine was poured, the faces of the four Patriarchs had already darkened slightly.

The smile on the corner of Master Zhao's mouth faded slightly: "My lord, what do you think?"

Chu Yunsheng drank the glass of wine, stood up, glanced coldly at Patriarch Zhao's face, and said indifferently: "Master Zhao, the red plums brought from the border pass have been stained with the blood of many people before they can So brightly red?"

Patriarch Zhao's eyes turned cold, and after a while, he stood up with a slight smile: "It's getting late, I will see you off to the lord."

"No need."

The snow-fur cloak rolled up scattered red plums, and Chu Yunsheng's lonely and cold back circled the corridor, shrinking into a slender afterimage.

After a long time, inside the pavilion.

Patriarch Li, who had been silent all this time, snorted coldly: "Shame on you!"

"Hey, Old Li!"

Patriarch Qian glared at Patriarch Li, stroked his beard and looked at Patriarch Zhao: "Brother Zhao, we made a mistake this time."

Patriarch Zhao was silent for a moment, and said, "Do you believe that Chu Yunsheng doesn't want the throne?"

The Sun family pointed out: "Our regent comes to court every morning, but he always comes in a luan."

"It's not that he doesn't want the throne, it's that he doesn't want the throne we gave him." Patriarch Zhao said coldly, "A court of a hundred years, a family of a thousand years, this is not a fate that he can change as he wants. This three-point benefit he doesn't want to give up, There's always someone who wants to..."

Patriarch Qian hesitated and said, "Then what happened today..."

Patriarch Zhao smiled: "The Prince Regent is sick and confused. Let's pretend that what happened today has never happened before."

The remaining three Patriarchs seemed to have heard the implication of Patriarch Zhao's words, and they stopped talking, but there was a hint of ruthlessness in their expressions.

The wind and snow outside the pavilion seemed to pick up suddenly.

On the other side, Chu Yunsheng who had left Zhao's other courtyard did not return to the residence immediately, but returned to the palace on horseback.

He deliberately didn't let Di Yan clear up the rumors about the Zen position outside, in order to make the aristocratic family mistakenly think that he had the intention of proclaiming emperor, thus facilitating the temptation of today's conversation.Judging from the performance of the four great families today, Chu Yunsheng is even more certain that the "disease" of the regent in the original plot is by no means as simple as it appears on the surface.

He was planning to follow suit, but he didn't want Lu Fenglou to get involved.

No matter who the aristocratic family wanted to support to ascend the throne, Lu Fenglou must be the primary obstacle, so he decided to hide the little emperor for a while and give the little emperor a good chance to "kill" him.

When Chu Yunsheng arrived at Zhaoyang Hall, the hall was very quiet.

He didn't ask Wen Detong to report, and walked in. After a few steps, he saw Lu Fenglou lying on the couch reading a book, surrounded by the stove.

I don't know if it was intentional, but the little emperor, who used to have his hair neatly tied up in the dormitory, has all his black hair loose today, spreading on his slightly thin shoulders.A few strands of hair flowed forward, hooking that white jade-like cheek, unexpectedly revealing a bit of charming charm.

Chu Yunsheng raised his hand and brushed aside the bead curtain.

This movement seemed to wake up the little emperor on the couch, he turned around and looked at him, and laughed: "Why is the teacher here?"

Chu Yunsheng walked over, took off the snow-stained cloak and threw it on the chair, glanced at the book in Lu Fenglou's hand, raised his eyebrows slightly: ""Da Zhou Ji Wen"?"

"Da Zhou's peace negotiation mission has entered the territory of Da Jin, and it will arrive in the capital in two days. I have been curious about Da Zhou for a long time, and now I want to see more." Lu Fenglou said simply.

Chu Yunsheng had already heard the truth and half of what came out of his mouth, and didn't care.

He sat beside Lu Fenglou's couch, picked up a book and flipped through it.

Before the word caught my eye completely, from the corner of my eye, I saw Lu Fenglou raised his lower body slightly, and a bare white foot protruded from the quilt around his body. Against the backdrop of brocade, it looked like fat jade. A clean and beautiful but cold feeling.

Chu Yunsheng was amused, but he still stretched out his hand to hold the foot, and stuffed it back into the quilt.

It was really cold and cold.

"The teacher's hands are a little hot, but are you sick?"

Lu Fenglou moved closer and looked at Chu Yunsheng with a half-smile.

Chu Yunsheng was teased by this little feather, but he was not in a hurry.

He ignored Lu Fenglou's troubles, but said calmly: "Let's break up the court meeting half a month in advance. This king will take your majesty to a place to have a look."

Lu Fenglou's eyes moved slightly: "The court meeting is very important."

Chu Yunsheng looked at Lu Fenglou: "The New Year's Eve is approaching, it's only half a month ahead of schedule, so why is it that Your Majesty only has this half a month?"

A foolish ruler looks like a foolish ruler, and there are too many times when he can't go to court if he can't say that he won't go to court.

Lu Fenglou smiled, as if all the bones in his body were slack, scattered on the soft pillow, his tone could not tell his emotions: "Then listen to the teacher's arrangement."

Lu Fenglou has heard this sentence from the teacher's arrangement for many years, but never once did he regret it so much, wishing he could go back to a day ago and slap his mouth shut.

The next day the weather cleared and the snow cleared.

Lu Fenglou was dressed in simple cotton clothes, sitting on horseback, looking at the gate in front of him, and looked at Chu Yunsheng with gloomy eyes: "Teacher, where is this?"

Chu Yunsheng got off his horse and said, "Army camp."

"Your Majesty, you are a new recruit here from today. Remember to listen carefully to what General Chu said. He punishes people very harshly." General Chu, who took off his cloak to reveal his armored uniform, bent his lips and looked at the man holding his hand. Reins of Lu Fenglou.
