Linque

In the 11th year of Xuanxi, on the sixth day of the first lunar month, during the annual vacation, Yiye Gucheng in Ningzhou sent a memorial to the emperor, reporting the news of a new Mahayana in Kyushu. Now it is a troubled time, and it is better to deal with it as soon as possible .

This kind reminder hinted at Lishan's direction.This is not only Chu Heng's personal selfishness, but also the best excuse for the inexplicable trouble in Ulsan linked to Lishan.

Although Ling Ye was willing to trust Li Shan because he trusted him unconditionally, Chu Heng didn't take this willingness for granted.The emperor is the emperor, and Lishan is the minister. The best trust between the emperor and his ministers should come from sincerity, not from love for his sweetheart.

At the end of the memorial, Chu Heng took up his pen and added another sentence, the imperial servant Mo will return to the imperial capital soon, and please forgive him for the crime of not returning for a long time.

This separation lasted only half a year, and Ling Ye didn't say anything, but he might feel depressed in his heart. The more he didn't urge him on the letterhead, the more he would be unkind when Chu Heng returned.After thinking about it, Chu Heng felt that it was better to write the beg for forgiveness in advance.

This sealed letter was written by Chu Heng in Lushui on the first day of the new year, in the name of Ji Wuyue.A few days later, he returned to Lishan Mountain and told Ye Jianwei exactly what he had encountered on Guangling Long Street.

As expected, Ye Jianwei was not surprised at all, but when he heard the words "Mahayana Realm", there was a flash of sadness in his eyes.

——Really an old friend.

Chu Heng made a judgment, he exhaled lightly, his fingers under the cuffs were trembling slightly, he tried his best to make his voice sound calm as usual, and asked tentatively: "Does Master know him?"

Ye Jianwei was still immersed in the memories, heard the words and didn't think much, sighed and said: "She is not a friend. Your memorial is very suitable. Since Lishan has made a choice, it is time to remind the imperial capital. But In the matter of His Majesty and King Jing, she is not an enemy. No one in this world wants Yanxi Zhong, Cangwu Fang, and Dingkang Zhou to pay the price more than her. The empress dowager's son, based on this alone, she can't really help him. After you return to the imperial capital, tell your majesty that you don't need to pay too much attention to this person, but don't get too close to her, she..."

Ye Jian paused for a moment, pressed the center of his eyebrows, and looked out of the window with his hands behind his back. In the distance, the broken sea and the sky, the sound of waves lapping on rocks echoed in the valley. For 30 years, the only thing that remained unchanged was the water of the Yunyun River.

"It's no longer the person it was back then." Ye Jian sighed slightly.

- used to be very familiar.

Could it really be... If the little uncle hadn't died back then...

Chu Heng's pupils were slightly dilated, and his heart was beating like a drum, so he didn't continue to ask.

Ye Jianwei knew that the little master uncle was a knot in Chu Heng's heart and an obsession that he couldn't let go of. During the time when Ming Yuan just died, Chu Heng opened and closed his eyes with Tianshuangtai's sword piercing through his heart. In one scene, Ye Jianwei managed to get his apprentice out of the shadows.Chu Heng could tell that "Ming Yuan" had changed according to his master, and with Ye Jianwei's concern for him, even if the person who called him "A Yue" on Guangling Long Street really came back to life Young master uncle, Ye Jianwei will definitely not admit it - so he has to find out the answer by himself.

Chu Heng resigned quietly. He will leave for the imperial capital in a few days and needs to pack his bags.Ye Jianwei nodded when he heard the words, but didn't notice any clues. He only told him and let him go.

……

Yiye Gucheng is half a month's drive away from the emperor, but it is difficult to travel when it snows in winter. Chu Heng set off on the tenth day of the Lunar New Year and hurried all the way. He changed his horse from a car and arrived at the city gate.

It was in the evening that he got off his horse and took out the guide, and two people got out of the car and greeted him.

"elder brother!"

Chu Heng raised his head following the sound, it was Chu Yan and Han Chengmiao.When he entered Zhongzhou, Fei Falcon sent a letter to the palace, these two people presumably heard the news, and counted the time to come and pick him up.

Chu Yan excitedly ran forward, took Chu Heng's luggage and handed it to the entourage who was driving.

Han Chengmiao was a few steps behind him, nodded at Chu Heng and said, "Second Brother."

Chu Heng glanced at him, and said "Yes" as a response.

Last summer, Chu Xin reached her full age and reached the age at which Dayin's girl's family began to discuss marriage.Before Zhong Pinghou Chuhong and his mistress Ye Shi could pick her a son-in-law, Han Chengmiao made an appointment with Chu Chen, the heir of the Hou family, and Chu Yan, Chu Xin's younger brother. Xin's marriage.

You must know that Han Chengmiao is the heir of the Han family in Yuyang, the son of the Korean prince, and he is not at the same level as the concubine daughter of the Zhongpinghou family.At first Chu Chen and Chu Yan didn't think in that direction, they just felt that his question was a bit impolite, but due to the sympathy and Han Chengmiao's reputation of always being upright, Chu Chen said that the family was still making arrangements.Unexpectedly, Han Chengmiao listened to the words, and the next sentence was that he was interested in Chu Xin.

As soon as these words came out, not to mention Chu Yan, even Chu Chen's face became ugly.Even if Chu Xin was a concubine, she was Zhong Pinghou's biological daughter, and some people from lower-ranking noble families wanted to marry her.The status of the princes of South Korea is noble, but their Zhongli Chu family is also in the [-]th family, so it is impossible to let a girl be a concubine.

Chu Yan's face became even colder, he clenched his fists to hold back his anger, and got up to leave.

Han Chengmiao didn't understand why, so he made it clear again, saying that he wanted to marry Chu Xin.

Chu Chen and Chu Yan were stunned for a long while. If Han Chengmiao hadn't spoken solemnly and calmly, he would have thought he was joking.

The two walked back with fluttering steps.

I don't know what Han Chengmiao told his parents, let alone what the Korean couple thought. Anyway, the next day, the matchmaker came to the door, and a few days later, the Korean couple came to visit in person.

After the three ceremonies, the entire aristocratic family circle in Kyushu was dumbfounded.Han Chengmiao is a character that Princess Shang can make, with outstanding appearance, temperament, future and family background. I don't know how many rich and noble daughters in the imperial capital want to marry him, so he got engaged to an unremarkable concubine just like that.

After discussing inside and outside for more than a month, many people still don't believe it, thinking that this marriage will be bad sooner or later, the wind spread to the ears of Han Gonggong, and he went to the Palace of Jingcheng to ask His Majesty to marry him.

With the imperial decree, Chu Xin will be the wife of the future son for sure.

On the day when the decree was drafted, Chu Heng was in the Hall of Respect and Sincerity, and Ling Ye asked him with a smile if he agreed with this marriage, Chu Heng snorted twice, and acquiesced.

That day, Han Chengmiao was on duty in front of the imperial court. Ling Ye called him over and asked someone to send the imperial decree to the door for seal in front of him. He glanced at Dong Jun with a sullen face next to him, and said meaningfully: "Marry Chu!" Second girl, you are not bad."

Han Chengmiao didn't know why, but he should still claim that he married someone he liked, so of course he wouldn't lose.

The marriage is now settled, and Chu Xin will officially get married when she reaches her double tenth birthday.She was still young, and when ordinary girls were still discussing marriage, Zhong Pinghou would keep her for two years according to the custom; besides, Chu Heng's marriage was taken over by Lishan, not to mention, Chu Xin had his eldest sister Chu Xuan has not yet left the court, and the third brother Chu Chen has not yet married.

Anyway, the married son-in-law couldn't run away anymore, Zhong Pinghou was in a good mood, and even rewarded the family, which made the mistress Ye forced to smile even if she felt uncomfortable.Duke Han came to the door in person, and Zhong Pinghou is not stupid, so how can there be any reason why he shouldn't?Don't talk about him, on this matter, even the eldest son Chu Chen will not be ambiguous.It's pitiful that her eldest daughter born in the first line is unlikely to marry Yong'an Hou Shizi, and she will definitely be overwhelmed by Chu Xin in the future.

But you have to suffer.

After getting married, Han Chengmiao began to walk around with the Chu family in an open and aboveboard manner. From time to time, he gave Chu Xin some cosmetics, hairpins, hairpins, and rings, or invited her and Chu Yan out to play, and came to give gifts during New Years and festivals. Chu Heng said "Second Brother".

After receiving Chu Heng at the gate of the city, the three got into the car and went to the imperial city. Chu Heng took the hot tea from Chu Yan and asked Han Chengmiao, "I heard that Xinghui followed Su Lang to Changzhou." ?”

The 11th year of Xuanxi was indeed an eventful year. Just after the Shangyuan Festival, a big event happened.

In February, the main examination in the imperial capital was just around the corner. Last year, Qiu Wei, who was taking the exam in Changzhou, caused trouble, claiming that not only were the state exams cheating, but that the Changzhou government had also killed several candidates who complained of grievances and put them in jail. Everyone waits.A few students who were lucky enough to escape the arrest went all the way to eat and sleep in the open air, and the god Duo Dengwengu knelt down and begged the emperor to avenge his grievances.

As soon as the news came out, everyone was shocked.

You must know that Yan Xiang died less than two years ago, how firm the emperor's heart was in promoting the imperial examinations, and there was fraud in the first official examination after the reform of the examination papers, and the Changzhou state government was simply rebellious!

Sure enough, the emperor was furious, and immediately sent an imperial envoy and governor to Changzhou to investigate the case.Eight out of ten cities in Changzhou are places of surname, and the forces of all parties are intertwined, which is more complicated and tricky than Wanzhou where Jingwang Shiyi is located. To straighten out the crux of the matter, so apart from the governor who was brought up by Yushitai, the emperor also sent Su Lang, a close minister who was born in Yinghai, Changzhou, to escort the four emperor's shadow guards.

Han Chengmiao said: "Xinghui asked for his order to go."

He is the young master of Lishan, and Lishan avoids family entanglements the most. Ling Ye cares about Chu Heng, so he respects Lishan's previous position, of course he won't point to Xinghui, but he wants to go with Su Lang.

——Young master, this is not enough to pay off the debt with the body, but it is also worth paying for the heart.

Chu Heng shook his head and chuckled, "This kid."

Chu Yan at the side saw that Chu Heng asked his junior brother as soon as he came back, his eyes darkened, and he couldn't help saying: "Brother, why did you go to Lishan for so long? I miss you so much."

"Huh?" Chu Heng turned his head to look at him when he heard the words, smiled and explained Mu Xiyun's illness.

Chu Yan chatted with Chu Heng all the way along this topic, and finally didn't mention his junior brother again.

Passing by Zhong Pinghou's mansion, Chu Heng didn't get out of the car, but asked Chu Yan to deliver the salute to Zhong Pinghou and the mistress, as well as things for him, Chu Xin and several other siblings, and let the carriage continue on. Imperial city go.

The emperor's guard returned to Beijing after returning from vacation, of course he had to go to the imperial court to pay his respects, this is the rule.

It was evening when Imperial Attendant Mo arrived at Jingcheng Hall, and the sky was full of rays of light, sprinkled in front of the platform. Chu Heng stepped up the jade steps step by step. With a flick of the whisk, he hurried in to communicate.

After a while, Eunuch Gao came out, coughed lightly and said, "Chu Shimo, go in, His Majesty's Sacred Heart is not happy, Shi Mo must carefully consider how to deal with it."

Chu Heng raised his brows lightly, and couldn't help but smile.

Stepping into the door of the palace and walking into the study, the man sat at the top of the table, waiting without looking sideways, as if he could hold his breath.

Chu Heng had already bent his eyes, stopped in front of the royal case, and pretended to say: "I respectfully wish Your Majesty Shengan."

Ling Ye said sullenly, "I'm uneasy."

Chu Heng laughed softly, walked around the case, and sat beside him, "The minister will give you a doctor." After saying that, he kissed her lips.

Ling Ye hugged him back, wrapped him between his arms, and the two of them nestled in the dragon chair in the study room, entangled their lips and tongues, and exchanged a long kiss.

Chu Heng leaned on his shoulder to breathe, Ling Ye calmed down a little, held his face and kissed his brows, eyes, nose and lips, lingered, then licked and bit his earlobe, let out a satisfied sigh, and asked in his ear: "Wu Ying Palace regulations The long-term holiday is March, and there is a servant Mo Kuangque in May, how should we deal with it?"
