Hypocrites

After sending this great god away, Deng Yang's heart fell back to his chest after a long while.He has seen a lot of high-ranking officials who ended up miserable because of defending the Shen family. Censor Qu Hao, Taiwei Lianbi, and the Taifu Zou Qing who was scared to death, which one is not more powerful than his Deng family?

If he lost his life because of taking Shen Yu in, and implicated the three clans, that would be a sin that even the underworld would not be able to cleanse.Shen Gong Xiande I, in the end, did not cause a group of students to lose their heads.

Looking at it now, Liang Heng and his father are not fellow travelers, and they don't even look like an emperor. They are still companions who huddled together overnight in the simple library.

At least the days when Shen Yu accompanied him to study were not in vain.Deng Yang was filled with emotions, and went back to his room to check on Shen Yu's condition, only to find that he woke up at some point, leaning against the head of the bed, his face as pale as ice.

"Is it cold? Add some more charcoal?" Deng Yang asked.

Shen Yu's illness was characterized by fear of cold, no matter how thick the mattress was, it was as if his whole body was immersed in icy water. When he got sick, he wished he could jump into the fire.

"Where did you say you were blown by the wind and got cold?" Deng Yang couldn't figure it out, "Why did someone who was fine two days ago get sick for no reason?"

Shen Yu coughed twice, and after a while, he asked, "He's gone?"

Deng Yang glared at him.

The strong smell of boiling medicine outside wafts in, making it difficult to breathe.

Deng Yang said: "When he saw you unconscious, he was about to cry, but in the end you were awake?"

Shen Yu coughed again.Deng Yang sighed, kicked the charcoal basin to the side of his couch, and leaned over to sit and warm himself by the fire.

"I was worried at first. People's hearts are far away. Back then, the little prince looked harmless to humans and animals. If he became the emperor, he wouldn't recognize anyone and turned around and sent you down for a family reunion. He still thinks of you. If you want To rehabilitate and avenge the family, it would be better to borrow his hand."

Deng Yang looked at Shen Yu's expressionless face, unable to guess what he was thinking.

"Wouldn't it be perfect to stage a drama of deep love between the monarch and his ministers at this time? But why don't you see him?"

Shen Yu covered his lips with clenched fists, and said flatly, "He's smarter than before."

Deng Yang didn't know why.

The north wind whimpered through the house outside, pulling the curtains and making a hula-la-la sound.The room was silent for a while, and the medicine pot was bubbling.

"Guess that I will stay at your house, and I can find here alone."

That's true, Deng Yang thought to himself, he came to the door today and pretended to use the name of Mr. Cui, which frightened him into a cold sweat.

"If it was in the past, he would have been overjoyed knowing that I was still alive, and he might have sent an edict to search for me all over the city, forcing me to enter the palace to accompany him, and to be appointed as a servant. But today he came here quietly, without even Jiu Liu, you can do so with restraint, not at all like the imprudent Highness I used to know."

Deng Yang said: "Being an emperor is of course different from being a prince. There are wolves around, and Nan Qi's throne is not secure for everyone."

Shen Yu nodded: "People's hearts are changeable. His palms were sweaty just now, and he must have been extremely nervous. The most fearful thing is that time has changed and the old people are gone."

Two grasses are still of one mind, but people's hearts are not as good as grass.It has always been rare for two people to be in the same heart, and Deng Yang also deeply believed in it, but suddenly felt something wrong: "How do you know that his palms are full of sweat?"

Shen Yu didn't answer.

Deng Yang realized it by himself: "Oh! He touched your face!"

Shen Yu coughed violently, as if air was leaking from his lungs, Deng Yang hurriedly brought him medicine and interrupted the topic.

Tianlu Pavilion, in the warm room.

Liang Heng leaned against the table, looking lazy.On the left is Qiu Zhiyuan. Standing behind Qiu Zhiyuan, Siji touched the back of his aching head and kept peeking at Liang Heng suspiciously.

In the end, the owner of the bookstore did not let Siji sleep in the cold on the street, but moved him into the store, and lied to him that he was knocked unconscious by the falling bird's nest on the plaque.So much so that Qiu Zhiyuan knew that Liang Heng had sneaked away again, but he didn't want to make trouble.After all, the emperor is the emperor, even if he refuses to change after repeated admonitions, no one dares to take him down.

Qiu Zhiyuan gestured to the stack of documents in front of Liang Heng: "If your majesty really has nothing to do, you can devote more attention to government affairs. Since Ru Yang has been quiet, there has been no county shepherd for a long time, and several people are selected from the list of characters. The ministers discussed and screened out the information of these people for His Majesty to review."

Liang Heng said: "Isn't Chang Shi more familiar with these people than me? Just leave it to Chang Shi."

Qiu Zhiyuan smiled, with a sinister look on his face.

Whenever at this time, Liang Heng realized that he was a marionette in Qiu Zhiyuan's hands, saying what he wanted to hear and doing what he told him to do.Perhaps his deceased emperor's father also had the same experience. When he visited his father in the palace, the noble Nine Dragon Emperor behind the gorgeous bed curtain was just the projection of the eunuch Qiu Zhiyuan.

"Your Majesty's temperament is uncertain, and he is not yet in charge of the government. The minister acts on his behalf, but he cannot make a ruling on his behalf."

The case is full of volumes, Liang Heng knows that Qiu Zhiyuan is impatient with his disobedience, and wants to trip him up.Anyway, who will be appointed to manage Ru Yang in the end is not what Liang Heng said.

He sat down obediently, Qiu Zhiyuan was satisfied and wanted to leave.Liang Heng asked suddenly: "Ruyang's Fourth Master is famous far and wide, and there are many virtuous ministers under his sect. Is there anyone in Shen's sect who can take on this important task?"

Qiu Zhiyuan looked at him inexplicably: "Shen Men rebelled and died cleanly. Where is anyone else?"

As soon as Qiu Zhiyuan left, Siji was like a dog without an owner, and could not stay in Tianlu Pavilion with fleas all over his body.It happened that Liang Heng couldn't see him either, so he retreated to the left and right, leaving Xinzhou alone to wait on him.

Qiu Zhiyuan didn't know that Shen Yu was still alive, so Liang Heng was somewhat relieved, and opened the roster for review, and it was indeed filled with unfamiliar names.

Duan Boyu's notes wrote down the lives of each of them for him, and after a cursory look, it seems that all of them are talented and loyal.

A moment later, Xinzhou received an order to invite the disease doctor from the Medical Official's Office and the night guard of Tianlu Pavilion.

Tonight's shift is Duan Yanling.In front of the Zhangyi Palace, there is a tower and a pavilion, each with a team of guards. They were formed together with Duan Yanling and Liang Heng after he came to the throne. They don't use members of the southern army, but only the officials' children who are familiar with each other.

One person attains enlightenment and ascends to heaven, and the dandies who used to only want to spend time and money fly to the branches and become the emperor's bodyguards. They are very respectable in front of their own fathers.Unexpectedly, Duan Yanling was ruthless and ruthless. He invited the army coaches to use the Southern Army's method of training recruits to temper these young masters. At the beginning, everyone cried and cried.It's more or less tidy now.

Duan Yanling was appointed as the Zuoduhou of the palace gate, and he was specially bestowed with a sword to go to the hall. Wearing his bright armor and wearing a three-foot sword, he came to the hall majesticly.

Liang Heng glanced at him: "The armor is off."

Duan Yanling walked up to the emperor's desk, and revealed a pair of smiling eyes behind the iron armor. He unarmored as he said, and took off one by one. Inside were plain white hakama trousers and a jacket, and the neckline was covered with tanned skin.

"Come here." Liang Heng patted the seat beside him.

Duan Yanling sat next to him dishonestly, reached out to touch his waist, with a smile on his face: "I miss my brother, call me, brother will come soon?"

Liang Heng stuffed the barrel of the pen into his hand, and pointed to the roll book that was stretched out: "Who recommended these people, write it after their names, and I will read it later."

"How do I understand?" Duan Yanling said with a smile.

"Stop being perfunctory to me. All the news about Xie Ling Pavilion has entered your ears, and nine out of ten you know all about it."

Duan Yanling fell into deep thought, rubbed the back of his neck a few times, and sighed, "Okay, I'll write. What about you, what are you doing?"

Liang Heng said: "Ha, I still have to go out."

Duan Yanling showed a shocked expression.

Liang Heng took off the royal clothes and threw it to Duan Yanling: "Change quickly!"

He picked up Duan Yanling's guard armor and put them on one by one, but he couldn't tie the armor properly, so Duan Yanling had to help him, and finally put on a mask to hide his appearance.

This set of armor was a bit too big for Liang Heng, and a few pieces at the joints were removed.

"What if Qiu Zhiyuan wants to come over?" Duan Yanling asked.One advantage he has is that he knows that Liang Heng has a stubborn temper, and he never makes unnecessary persuasion.

"You two don't let him come into the pavilion," Liang Heng laughed softly behind the iron armor, "Use the trick you taught me last time."

When Duan Yanling saw that his partner was Xinzhou, he found it boring.

The door of the pavilion opened, and a guard in silver armor came out, followed by an old medical officer with smooth ears and mottled beard and hair.Siji, who was standing in front of the steps, yawned and looked away.The guards and the medical officer disappeared at the end of the wide palace road one after the other.

After a while, the medical officer from the palace came.The high efficiency made Deng Yang more convinced of Shen Yu's position in Liang Heng's heart.

So when he saw Liang Heng's face exposed under the guard's helmet, he was not surprised at all.

"You..." Deng Yang weighed his words carefully, "Leaving the palace at will without anyone to follow, isn't it appropriate?"

"Is he still asleep?"

"I woke up early and I'm reading."

Liang Heng twitched: "...Then I won't go, Mr. Mai, you go and see."

Liang Heng remembered that Deng Yang had taken many classics from the book store.

"What books does he read?"

"Confucians say, Da Dai Ri Ji. It also depends on the official track, Your Majesty."

Half a figure entered the frame of the leaking window, sitting cross-legged, the candlelight was blurred.Liang Heng stood in the courtyard and watched for a long time, imagining the outline of the eyebrows under the figure.

Deng Yang had figured out Liang Heng's heart, and joked: "You summon him to be a minister, and transfer him to your side. By the way, let the grassroots also be honored, and become a Shi Brown official."

Liang Heng looked like a fool: "Aren't you free? Either in the palace or outside the palace, you're either colluding with others or protecting yourself wisely. Hurry up and get together at this time?"

"Be your right-hand man," Deng Yang said. "In the past, the first emperor came out of Zhangshan Mountain and entered Wangdu, but he was also alone. Thanks to Duan Xiang's help, he got rid of his relatives. The monarch is like Beichen, who lives in his place and all the stars share it. "

These truths are clear to Liang Heng, the reason why he was restrained by Qiu Zhiyuan is not because no one can trust him, and he has no talents to use?

After the medical officer finished the consultation, the three returned to the hall.If it is an innocuous ailment, it is easy to talk about it in front of the patient. Such a private exchange of opinions with relatives and friends is often a difficult issue. It is not easy for the patient to hear and disturb the mind.

"The patient didn't catch a cold or typhoid fever, but took the wrong medicine."

"What do you mean?" Deng Yang was puzzled, "Has he not taken any medicine recently?"

The medical officer looked embarrassed: "It is said to be medicine, but it is actually something similar to bullwhip and deer blood. It is often popular in Chunlou. It is called Xingsan Wan, and it can be taken in water to strengthen men's masculinity."

Deng Yang: "..."

Liang Heng: "..."

After looking at each other, Liang Heng said: "But he, he is shivering from the cold, isn't he so hot?"

The medical officer replied: "After taking it, if you disperse properly, you will see the effect of the medicine. If you don't have sex with women, you have to walk a thousand steps to disperse the effect of the medicine, so it is called Xingsan Wan. If the dispersal is not done properly, the dryness and heat will accumulate in the body." , the performance is extreme fear of cold, but it is harmful to the body."

"I have never given him this kind of food!" Deng Yang was stared at by Liang Heng, and immediately clarified, "We have never been to Chunlou either! He is wearing a crime, how dare he run around!"

The doctor said: "This kind of disease is very sure, and it will never be misdiagnosed. It is very common in the palace, practice makes perfect, practice makes perfect haha."

"In the palace?"

Liang Heng's face turned pale.Who in Zhangyi Palace eats this kind of pickled stuff indiscriminately?Is the palace dirty?

"Eunuchs often take it," said the medical officer. "Xingsan Wan was invented by a few eunuchs in the first place in order to restore their impotence."
