My country, you can pinch it

There was such a big commotion in Prince Ning's mansion, so naturally it couldn't be hidden from the person in the palace.

Emperor Shun seemed to be offended, and said jokingly: "Why, everyone has invited me, so I don't know how to invite me?"

"Didn't my son come here in person? Father, would you like to come in person?" Liu Ke asked back with a smile.

Emperor Shun listened, picked up the tea and said casually: "If you don't come, will you not come here in the future?"

"Haha... Father, you really know how to joke. Your son's mansion is bestowed by you, so what you say is meaningless." Liu Ke sat down on the chair brought by Qin Hai nonchalantly, and asked, "Where is this?" Who put eye drops in front of the father again?"

Emperor Shun didn't respond to this sentence, he just walked down from behind the case, and said helplessly: "You, at least change your disregarding temperament, just arrived in Beijing, and let people read a book, so unsteady, in the future I will How can I rest assured that I will entrust the important task to you?"

Liu Ke snorted, "I pay for the banquet myself, and it's one of the best in the capital. If anyone doesn't come, it's just not giving my minister face." He took out a post from his pocket as he spoke.

"Ok?"

"Brother Duan Wang's has already been delivered, but Brother Jing... Father, will he show you face?" Liu Ke looked at Emperor Shun and handed over the post.

Emperor Shun couldn't see the joy and anger on his face, he just asked: "Why didn't I know that you and Lao Liu are so brotherly, I thought it would be best with you if he didn't come." Gather King Jing's power.

"I just wanted to ask him something." Liu Ke said, "Why didn't Father let me see him? Could it be that he was afraid that I would learn something from him?"

Qin Hai, who was a wallflower behind Emperor Shun, gasped suddenly, and then immediately covered his mouth.The lawless seventh prince has not changed even after he left for six years, which doesn't fit his title at all.

However, the father and son didn't pay any attention to him. Emperor Shun asked with a smile on his face: "What can he know? What do you know?"

Liu Ke lowered his eyes, and said in a mocking tone: "The noble concubine is always cautious, why did she suddenly fall into such a big somersault, and be cornered by a fish that slipped through the net?"

Emperor Shun narrowed his eyes, "It seems that you think it's too easy for your mother to vindicate her."

Liu Ke did not deny it, "Why did you lock up Sixth Brother?" He had a discussion with Shang Jinling yesterday, the more Emperor Shun refused to allow him to contact King Jing, the more Liu Ke would commit the crime, otherwise the emperor's heart would not be at ease .

There is no one in this world who dares to question Emperor Shun like this. Liu Ke said this kind of words smoothly, but Qin Hai, who was listening, was sweating on his forehead, wishing to cover his ears and be deaf.He was just wondering why Zhu Yuanfeng wanted to avoid it, King Ning was a firecracker, and he would order Emperor Shun anytime.Why don't you know what to say and what not to say?He is not afraid of angering the emperor and demoting him again.

This is taboo!

Liu Ke looked up at Emperor Shun fearlessly, and Emperor Shun stared at him indistinctly. The father and son looked at each other, as if neither would let the other go.

Finally Emperor Shun asked: "Ke'er, what exactly do you want?"

"I want to know the truth!"

"The truth?" Emperor Shun sneered suddenly, and then flew into a rage, "This is the truth! Back then, I was forced to give your mother the queen's vengeance and punish the real culprit. Now that I have done it, what else do you want? People are found out and their heads are chopped off one by one before they are reconciled? As long as you are old, you don’t have a brain. As long as there are some things that are generally correct, you can’t go deep into them. Do you have to make right and wrong, embarrassing people, to be comfortable?"

Liu Ke was startled when he heard this.

"I have already dealt with the noble concubine, and I have given you an explanation! Ke'er, if you don't know what to do, I don't have to do with you! Go back and host your banquet, and don't cause trouble for me!"

After Liu Ke was scolded, most of his arrogance disappeared immediately, and a dazed look appeared in his eyes.

"Yes..." He turned around slowly, but Shundi's faint voice suddenly came from behind, "No matter what happened at that time, it was already more than 20 years ago, Ke'er, things are different, we should look forward, you and I Father and son, I love you even more."

Liu Ke paused, then turned around, looked at Emperor Shun and said, "If you feel sorry for me, the next day's dinner will be the first time for my servant, can you come?"

Liu Ke on the other side went out, while Shang Jinling on the other side walked into the gate of Yang's house in the snow, wearing a thick cloak.

Although the winter is bleak and most of the scenery is lost, as long as the yard is well-maintained, you can still see the owner's family background.

Yang Shenxing comes from a scholarly background, and he has always paid attention to the artistic conception of calligraphy and painting. He has been the chief assistant for six years, and he is in charge of the New Deal. He should pay attention to everything at home.

However, along the way, Shang Jinling was surprised to find that the Yang family did not seem to be as rich as he imagined.

This is a bit ridiculous, who doesn't know that the New Deal is the most profitable, how many rich rats, but the head of the third division of the Department of Regulations seems to be a rare innocence... Shang Jinling's eyes are in this simple house Turning around calmly, secretly a little surprised, finally landed on Yang Shenxing who was walking, and couldn't help sighing: "Master Yang is much older."

"Not only old, but also seriously ill, I'm afraid it won't be long, ahem..." The wrinkles on Yang Shenxing's face were almost like mountains and rivers, and his figure was even more stooped. No matter how thick the clothes wrapped by the visitor, he could see It's so thin.

It is not exaggerating, it is indeed seriously ill, and it seems that the oil is exhausted and the lamp is dying.

Seeing his appearance, no matter how much grievance Shang Jinling had before, all the grievances he had before were turned into nothingness, and it was rare for him to say a word of relief, "You have to take care of your health."

Yang Shenxing smiled peacefully, sat down with the support of his servants, and said in a hoarse voice: "Mr. Shang is coming to Beijing to participate in the Spring Festival next year."

Shang Jinling nodded, "I encourage you to try."

"Golden scales are not things in the pond. When it's time to transform the dragon, I will transform the dragon. I would like to congratulate you in advance." Yang Shenxing didn't mention Fang Jinyu, and knew that the two were incomparable.

"Thank you."

Shang Jinling came here at this time, and he definitely didn't come to reminisce about the old days. Yang Shenxing didn't wait for him to speak, and said, "I have also heard about His Royal Highness Ning's post."

Shang Jinling smiled and said, "I'm here to deliver the post, but seeing you like this, it seems that you can't force it."

Yang Shenxing waved his hand, "It doesn't matter whether you eat or not for a banquet, the important thing is what King Ning wants to do with the people who are attached to him."

"Master Yang really deserves to be Lord Chief Assistant." Shang Jinling laughed.

Yang Shenxing said in a low and hoarse voice: "You kid likes to sarcasm overtly and secretly, relying on a little cleverness, let's get to the point, the old man has limited energy, ahem..."

As soon as these words came out, Shang Jinling immediately felt relieved, "I have no other requirements for coming here today. Since my lord is not in good health, it's time to retire."

"Retire? Is there still a chance for this old man to withdraw?"

"Since the New Deal is in place today, Master Yang cannot escape the blame, but if you want to say that the culprit is definitely not you, it seems a little unfair that King Duan wants to put the blame on you." Shang Jinling picked up the tea and gently Take a sip, warming your throat.

Yang Shenxing looked cryptic, "It's not fair? Why, His Royal Highness Prince Ning wants to uphold justice for this old man?"

Shang Jinling looked at him with magical eyes, "Master Yang, I'm too embarrassed to listen to what you said. What is justice? Are you wronged?"

Yang Shenxing coughed twice, looking around and said: "The emperor has kept this old man to give the world an apology. When King Ning comes back, it just so happens..."

"Are you willing?"

Yang Shenxing didn't speak, but the silence showed his attitude.

Seeing this, Shang Jinling asked him with a smile: "Master Yang, to be honest, the New Deal is already in trouble. As the chief executive, you will not be able to keep your official position no matter what, and don't even think about leaving your name in history, but at least you can survive. Family blood, it depends on whether you want to think about it or not?"

Yang Shenxing opened his slightly cloudy eyes, and looked at Shang Jinling in surprise, "King Ning is so impatient?" It's only the second day in the capital, and he's about to attack his brother!

"How can you allow other people to snore and sleep on the side of the couch? Since His Highness has returned to the capital, there is no room for other princes to stay in the capital. The emperor has already sacrificed King Jing, so there is nothing wrong with having another prince." Shang Jinling held the teacup Let go, staring at Yang Shenxing with clear eyes, "Master Yang, this is His Highness's honor for you to abandon the dark and turn to the bright, otherwise, the Yang family will not just be exiled again."

"It seems that the old man has no choice." Yang Shenxing touched the edge of the handrail and sighed softly.

"No."

"New Deal..."

"Master Yang, don't worry, my brother-in-law has already set off from Yunzhou, and will arrive in Beijing soon. The Division of the Third Division will be renamed the Division of New Law, and he will be the director. The willows are dark and the flowers are bright."

Yang Shenxing listened and fell silent for a long time.

Having said this, Shang Jinling looked at Yang Shenxing, "Does Master Yang need to ask anything else?"

Yang Shenxing shook his head, so Shang Qingrong got up slowly, took out the invitation card in his arms, and put it on the table, "After the banquet of Your Highness, there will be the New Year's Eve banquet. What will happen on that day depends on Master Yang's wishes. Farewell."

After finishing speaking, Shang Jinling put on her clothes again and walked out of the room. When the snow fell outside, the cold air suddenly blew in, and Yang Shenxing's suppressed cough came from behind.

He saw Yang Posong trotting towards him from a distance, followed by his son Yang Zhe and his nephew Fang Jinyu.

Shang Jinling ignored them and left.

"Father..." Yang Posong fed Yang Shenxing water, and the coughing of the latter gradually subsided, "I'm fine."

Fang Jinyu saw the bronzing invitation card on the table, and the words Ning Wangfu stung his eyes, so he couldn't help asking: "Grandpa, do you want to go to the banquet?"

Yang Shenxing shook his head, then heaved a long sigh.

Two days passed quickly.

On the night of the third day, the door of King Ning's mansion was opened wide, and the butler cheered up and led the servants to welcome him.

Regardless of coming or not, in short, all eyes in the capital are on this place. Although King Duan made up his mind not to come, he sent someone to stare at him.

Soon, the guests came to the door one by one, sent greeting cards, sent greetings, and walked into Ning Wang's mansion in twos and threes following the roll call.

As expected by King Duan, most of them were once King Jing's forces, veteran nobles in the capital.For example, Ding Guogong, who was a die-hard supporter of King Jing at the beginning, is now changing course quickly. He seems to have forgotten how unhappy the old lady’s birthday banquet was upset by Liu Ke six years ago, and he took his son and eldest grandson with him with a smile on his face. Go into the mansion.

There was no movement in the Yang family, Yang Shen was seriously ill, and he announced the doctor's diagnosis and treatment, so naturally he would not go to the banquet again.

Hearing this, King Duan felt relieved.

"Your Highness, the people who went to the Ning Palace for the banquet were all from King Jing's lineage as we expected, and there were some speculators who turned slaves of two surnames! Those who went to the banquet accounted for less than [-]% of the posts posted." The confidant reported.

Duan Wang didn't go to the banquet, but he set up a table of noodles and ate slowly. Hearing this, he sneered and said, "Lao Qi is too impatient. He hasn't become a prince yet, and he doesn't have any errands, so he dares to let go." If this is the case, it’s too arrogant. If it’s not going all the way to the dark, who would dare to come to the door and put the mark of Prince Ning’s mansion. You look at those nobles, go back, once the old seven falls from power in the future, they will run faster than anyone else Hurry up." After he finished speaking, he took a sip of the wine and asked, "Is Prince Ning's Mansion closed at this hour?"

The confidant replied: "Not yet, it seems that they are still waiting for guests."

"Guests?" Duan Wang felt even more amused, "Thirty percent of them went to the banquet because of the empress's face, and they were bored. What about the clan, have you gone?"

"Yes, but they are trivial."

"Okay, I heard that Feihe Tower and Ramadan Tower are closed today, and Prince Ning's Mansion is busy. It's a pity for these delicious dishes."

Ning Wangfu

Steaming delicacies are constantly being delivered to the table. In this cold winter, it is rare for these honorable courtiers to see such delicacies from mountains and seas, and once the dishes are cold, they must be removed and replaced with new ones. This cost , The guests calculated secretly, looking at the number of seats, they couldn't help being dumbfounded, and looked at Liu Ke who was in the main seat.

This person spent so much and held such a grand banquet, but an hour has passed since the banquet started, and he didn't say what he was going to do, and he didn't get to know these close people well. He just ate and drank and watched the dancers dance. Song after song is really confusing.

Shang Jinling was young and had no official position, so he was sitting at the table of Xungui's children. It happened that Duke Ding's eldest grandson Zhongqi was also here, and he couldn't help asking in a low voice: "Lingling, is King Ning planning to do this?" Eat and drink?"

Although Zhong Qi was surprised that Shang Jinling joined King Ning's sect, he figured it out soon.

The Shang family is in Yongliang in the northwest. If he were King Ning, he would not let go of the opportunity to win over Xiling Duke. As the only male of the Shang family, it is obvious that Shang Jinling should be reused.

When Zhong Qi asked, all the young masters at the table looked over, and Shang Jinling took a sip of the soup and said, "The important person hasn't come yet, wait a minute."

"Not yet? Those who want to come have already come, and those who don't want to come don't come back. If you wait any longer, it's time for supper."

Shang Jinling smiled lightly, "That's a good meal, today's dishes are very good."

Unable to ask a single word, Zhong Qi looked at Shang Jinling's relaxed expression, and sighed slightly, "Lingling, you seem to have changed."

"Everyone has to grow up, Brother Zhong Qi." He blinked and replied.

As soon as the words fell, I heard a bright voice, "The emperor is here——"

In an instant, Liu Ke, who had been waiting for a long time, stood up and strode towards the door.
