Reincarnation of the powerful minister

As soon as he entered the East Palace, a black shadow rushed towards his face with a strong wind. Su Yan tilted his head in shock, and heard a sharp and crisp sound behind his ears, and his teeth were sore, and he slammed violently.

The teapot was smashed to pieces, and Zhu Helin realized that something had happened, and jumped over in two or three steps: "Did you hit it?"

Su Yan shook his head and smiled: "Thanks to His Highness's mercy, I missed the target by chance."

Zhu Helin looked at him skeptically for a while, then suddenly lost his temper, and said in a low voice, "What are you doing here?"

"I thought about it for a while. Your Highness should be tired of playing with those old things. Just thinking about buying new ones, I came to the East Palace to tidy up."

Zhu Helin pursed his lips tightly, watching Su Yan send the palace servants to move around the shadow puppet diabolo and stuff them into boxes, and finally couldn't help but said: "Don't worry about it, it's none of those things."

Su Yan found a new teapot, poured a cup of tea and handed it over, "What's going on?"

Zhu Helin waved back the servants on the left and right, and said in a low voice: "I went to talk to my father about you, but I was severely reprimanded. My father scolded me for not studying hard, and I only knew how to play and play all day long, and said that in the afternoon you They are all working in the Imperial Study, so don't play around with me anymore."

Su Yan sighed secretly, and said softly: "Your Highness should know the depth of love and the seriousness of responsibility. The emperor's purpose is for His Highness to better cultivate academic performance, cultivate moral character, and become a prosperous and wise king in the future."

Zhu Helin was stunned for a while, and then slowly said: "I know. But if you are not in the East Palace, I will feel that the palace is empty and cold, and I can't help but want to howl, and I feel like going crazy after staying for a long time."

Su Yan was also stunned, and suddenly laughed: "What stupid things are you talking about? You are the prince of the dynasty and the heir of the country. You will have to face many things in the future. You can't always go well. Even the emperor has many things that he can't help himself. It's just that you didn't see it."

Zhu Helin was silent for a while, then said in a low voice: "The emperor's family and the common people's family each have their own difficulties."

"It's good that you know." Su Yan drank the tea in his cup in one breath, "Okay, don't slouch, Your Highness forgot that you are only 13 years old, why pretend to be mature and prudent."

"14 years old." The prince bit the words heavily.

Su Yan smiled: "The same is a brat."

The prince refused: "You are only three years older than me, why are you pretending to be old-fashioned?"

"I'm older than you." Su Yan slowly looked out the window.

The sky on the side of the palace wall was as clear as blue, so blue that it hurts the eyes. Su Yan stared hard, only to feel that countless colorful fragments fell apart from it, and gradually faded away like fleeting shadows.

Only now did he really feel what it means to be like a lifetime away, and what it means to be in the past.

In the past few days, after Su Yan left school, he only hired a carriage to run around the streets and alleys, looking for a suitable place.

It turned out that Emperor Qianlong accidentally asked about it in the future, and only then did he know that he was living in the capital.

Su Yan thanked him, and said inwardly that he was ashamed. Since he went to Beijing to rush for the exam, he has spent most of the night in the Chu Pavilion in Qinlou, how can he remember these things.

After picking and choosing, I decided on a courtyard with three entrances in Huanghuafang, Dongcheng. Although it is not grand, it is better than quiet and elegant, especially on the side facing the street.Jiaofangsi is not far from here, and soft silk and bamboo and Yan Wange are faintly blowing in the wind, which suits his heart even more.

He didn't bring much luggage, and moved into the new house hastily. Seeing that the house had been ungrateful for a long time, it was inevitable that there would be some dead flowers and leaves, cobwebs and swallow mud everywhere, so he had to buy two or three servants to take care of it.

When it comes to "buying", Su Yan was originally very cold about this word. After all, he has received modern education, and he always felt a sense of guilt for providing a market for human traffickers. I feel relieved.

In this day and age, it only costs about two taels of silver to buy an ordinary servant. Su Yan picked two young men who looked clean and bright, and hired a cook and a cleaning maid, and asked them to go back to tidy up the house first, while he went to the streets to find a home. Tea in the restaurant.

Upstairs in Taibai Building, sitting by the window, with a panoramic view of Xiabo River and the spring scenery of half the city, Su Yan sipped the Dragon Well before the rain, and sighed contentedly.

Suddenly he heard footsteps on the stairs, Xiaoer laughed and said: "Guest officer, there are already people in the window-side seat upstairs, why don't you change it?"

A man's voice was loud: "No change, no change, didn't you say there is only one person? Let me go up and have a look. If it's not a vulgar and unapproachable person, it's okay to make a table."

Su Yan heard the voice sound familiar. He turned to look at the young man who went upstairs, and he recognized him. He got up and bowed, "It turns out that he is the champion of the new department. Please be rude."

Cui Jinping became acquainted with him during the tribute examination, and said with a smile, "Brother Qinghe's etiquette is only for outsiders to see. If you are the number one scholar or not, it breaks our friendship."

Su Yan looked at his high-spirited face, and smiled slightly: "That's it, that's it, if you don't mind, I'll invite Brother Pingshan to drink tea."

Cui Jinping sat down calmly, "Brother Qinghe is now in the fifth rank, and he is also a celebrity in front of the prince. I heard that even the emperor has favored you. You are so polite, but call me a sixth rank. Feeling ashamed."

Su Yan waved his hand: "Don't say that, the younger brother just got a little lucky. He grinds and grinds for the prince, runs errands, works as an idler, and just takes a salary. He is not as ambitious and talented as Brother Pingshan. It is also an extremely noble place, and in the future, it will surely make great strides, and the future is limitless."

A look of contempt flashed across Cui Jinping's eyes, and he sighed slightly: "Although I want to serve the country, I have no choice but to live in a corner, so I have to be a small official of writing."

Su Yan refilled a cup of tea for him, "There is an old saying in my hometown, 'It's hard to be an official, it all depends on the thick antenna'. Although it is a bit biased, it is not unreasonable. Brother Pingshan, do you know what this antenna is?"

"Antenna..." Cui Jinping chewed on these two words curiously.

Su Yan looked mysterious: "Look up."

Cui Jinping raised his head in a daze, and saw a thick purlin on the roof, and many rafters on the side touched the ends, and they were patchworked on it. Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he said: "I understand!"

"Brother Pingshan Bingxue is smart. I was in the Wenhua Palace a few days ago and saw Wei Shaoqing, a scholar of the Imperial Academy, transcribe your policy and read it. There are many praises. Wei Xueshi is a student of Li Shangshu in the Ministry of Officials. If you can be recommended by him , things might come true."

Cui Jinping couldn't hide his eagerness, and cupped his hands and said: "Thank you brother Qinghe for your guidance, if this matter comes true, I will definitely throw myself in the ring to repay it."

Su Yan pretended to be displeased: "If you report it or not, it will break your friendship."

Cui Jinping looked up to the sky and laughed loudly: "Brother Qinghe is quick to speak, he is exactly like me, so happy to have this friend."

Su Yan just smiled while holding the teacup.

Cui Jinping's laughter faded away, as if he suddenly remembered something disdainful, he pressed the corner of his mouth contemptuously: "I just thought, why did Ye Donglou become a doctor in the fifth-rank household department overnight? The prince's teacher."

Su Yan was puzzled: "There is nothing wrong with this, why does Brother Ping Shan disdain?"

Cui Jinping sneered: "The son of King Yu is only about [-] years old, and the road is still unstable. What do you want a teacher to do?"

Su Yan was stunned for a moment: "You mean him and King Yu..." He suddenly recalled the day of En Rong Banquet, before meeting King Yu, he overheard two people whispering in the rockery in the back garden, presumably it was King Yu and King Yu Ye Donglou is gone.

"No one knows the nature of Prince Yu. I heard that there are six out of ten handsome young officials who have been friends with him." Cui Jinping said.

Su Yan shivered, and the pinched place on the back of his hand felt numb and itchy, wishing he could wash it off with saponin water immediately.

Cui Jinping didn't want to talk about this matter, so he raised his voice and said, "Xiao Er, what wine and food do you want?"

After drinking until Liushao on the moon, Su Yan bid farewell to Cui Jinping and walked slowly back along Chengcheng Street.

As soon as he boarded a stone bridge, the night wind blew and the smell of alcohol rose, he staggered and hugged the carved stone railing.Feeling tired and sick, he poked his head out of the bridge.

The sparkling light reflects a waning moon, and the color of frost and snow is quenched like a Wu hook, rippling alone and suspended, making it even more clearly demarcated from the shadow.

On the surface of the water in that dark place, there are also two fluorescent spots that look like planetesimals—not planetesimals, but a pair of brilliant eyes!

Su Yan suddenly covered his mouth, stepped back a few steps, his back was pressed against the railing, and cold sweat was pouring out.

A group of people galloped like a hurricane.The apricot-colored unicorn clothes shone brightly in the pine flames, and the embroidered spring knives three feet and four inches long around the waists of the riders, the scabbards hit the saddle, clanging like jade and gold.

The first person reined in the reins and asked sharply, "Scholar, do you see any suspicious characters?"

Su Yan leaned against the bridge railing with his body hooked, still a little speechless, but shook his head slowly.

The person who asked the question snorted dissatisfiedly, and the whip suddenly lifted his face.

The moment the flame illuminated, everyone around felt that a jade-white face was like a bright pearl under the moon, radiant and dazzling, so dazzling that people dare not look directly at it.

The leader stared into his eyes for a long time, before he said: "Jin Yiwei is ordered to arrest thieves and traitors, if he knows and does not report, he will be punished."

Su Yan saw his handsome body, fierce expression, and uncontrollable hostility between his brows, like a sharp knife that has been forged repeatedly in the blood and fire. When I came, I saw wind, flowers, snow and moon, but no suspicious person."

The leader of Jin Yiwei got off his horse, pinched his chin and sneered: "I really didn't see it? I'm afraid it was deliberately concealed. If I don't say anything now, when I'm in prison and the torture weapon is moved, I will naturally say everything."

Su Yan sighed in his heart. He had heard about the arrogance of Jin Yiwei, but he did not expect such arrogance. Unjust, false and wrongful cases are not handled so blatantly. No wonder he always acts as a villain in TV dramas.

He broke away from the opponent's fingers and smiled instead of anger: "Your Excellency really wronged me, everything Xiaosheng said is true, not to mention drunk and sleepy on a long road, there is no energy to look around."

The leader of Jin Yiwei's complexion softened a little, but his eyes became brighter and more attractive, with a half-smile: "In that case, let me go back and have a bowl of hangover soup."

All the riders showed malicious expressions, and said in an anxious voice: "Master Qianhu, don't waste your time talking, just tie them back, brothers are still waiting for the fire."

Amid obscene laughter, Jin Yiwei Qianhu reached out and touched Su Yan's face.

Su Yan gently held his fingers, with a three-pointed smile on his lips, but there was no spring in his eyes, and said softly: "Thank you, Lord Qianhu, for your kindness, but it's just that it takes a long time to go back and forth, and I'm afraid it won't be as good as His Royal Highness tomorrow. Morning class, the emperor will punish me when he finds out."

His voice was so soft that he could only be heard clearly by the other party.

The thousand households withdrew their hands like a bee sting: "You are..."

Su Yan nodded slightly, and his tone was sincere: "Master Qianhu has a great responsibility to protect the imperial city, and it is appropriate to interrogate more when things happen. Tonight is just a misunderstanding. I am drunk and slipped my words. Don't take it to heart, just treat it as nothing. It will be fine."

Qian Hu's complexion changed slightly, and there was a strange look of gratitude mixed in those eyes that were accustomed to cruelty, and suddenly he clasped his fists together and said in a low voice, "Thank you."

Su Yan smiled.

Jin Yiwei Qianhu flew on his horse and shouted: "Go!"

Yigan Tiqi didn't know why, some people were unwilling to ask questions, and he whipped him severely, and dared not speak any more.Immediately, the people and horses flew away in the dust, and they disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Su Yan let out a long breath, smiled wryly and said to himself: "It seems that my skin is really going to be thick and invisible, black and colorless, I don't know if it's a good thing or not."

He rubbed his temple, which was still aching, and stepped down the bridge. He suddenly felt that something was missing. He turned his head and looked into the shadow of the bridge cave, only to see it was so dark that there was no light.

After hesitating for a while, he took off his outer shirt, plunged into the cold river water, touched a person, and half helped and half dragged him to the bank.

The man was dressed in strong clothes, covered his face with a black scarf, his limbs were cold, and his eyes were closed tightly, as if he had passed out.

Su Yan peeled off the black scarf, only to see that his face was covered with blood, and he could barely see the outline of the facial features, and the lip color as pale as a dead man.Stretching out his fingers to probe his nose, as if there was still some gossamer-like breath, he hurriedly opened the wet and cold skirt and pressed on his chest.

The man suddenly trembled like a dying fish, his five fingers wrapped around Su Yan's wrist, a cold light shot out from his eyes, and the sword edge of his right hand rested on his shoulder.

Su Yan easily freed his weak fingers, curled his lips and said: "I risked being molested by bullies to save me, but you point your sword at me instead, okay, just give me a hard look, and then hang up and throw it into the river Feed the bastard."

Anger surged in the eyes of the man who tried to open, and his arms fell to the ground slumped, but he really passed out.
