My country, you can pinch it

The footsteps of the new year seem to be a clockwork alarm bell, and there is no peace in Ning Wangfu.

It is a foregone conclusion that King Duan will leave the capital, and the capital is dominated by King Ning's family. If he doesn't show his hospitality at this time, when will he do so?The court officials who had been waiting and watching sent generous gifts to the worship cards one after another, in order to get a seat in the spring court and King Ning was in power.

During this period, Qin Tianjian did not dare to be careless, and implemented the day of worshiping heaven and earth early, and opened the Taimiao to comfort Liu's ancestors.No matter how unwilling Emperor Shun was, under the golden words, the prince canonized as usual.

Liu Ke changed suddenly, and King Ning took a big step forward, and he was already the Crown Prince of Dashun who was under one man and above ten thousand.

Of course, with such a bright future, the new crown prince has never been free throughout the Spring Festival, either in receptions or in the midst of being eagerly awaited.

Today is a rare Lantern Festival, Liu Ke finally gave an order to thank guests behind closed doors.

Shang Jinling was still wondering, "What's wrong?"

Liu Ke sat next to Shang Jinling, looking at Shang Jinling who was studying her homework seriously, she didn't speak, but there was sadness in her eyes.

Shang Jinling put down his pen, turned his head, held his face and swayed it left and right, then asked with a smile, "Isn't there six court officials visiting, and they haven't arrived yet?"

"arrive."

"That……"

Liu Ke couldn't bear it anymore, and finally complained: "Ling Ling, the oiran in the Spring Tower still has time to rest, why can't the lonely and majestic Crown Prince take a break? Look at the arrangement for me, pick up guests every day, nothing but The water is yellow soup, my old waist is about to break!"

Xiao Tuanzi, who had just stood at the door, suddenly coughed. He didn't eavesdrop on purpose, he really has good ears, too close, and his highness complained too loudly, it's a sin.

Liu Ke then roared angrily: "Close the door, move away!"

"Yes!" Xiaotuanzi replied loudly, closed the door, and immediately walked five steps away, afraid that he might hear something he shouldn't have heard.

Only at this time did Shang Jinling understand, and asked angrily and amusedly, "Is there such a metaphor as you?"

Liu Ke twitched the corners of her mouth, "It's worse than Hua Kui, and you can rest for a few days when you have menstruation."

"How many days?"

Liu Ke pondered: "There are five days, there are seven days, does it vary from person to person?"

Shang Jinling was amazed, "You know all this?"

Liu Ke snorted, "Who told me to read a lot of books." He was quite proud of reading so many banned books. Shang Jinling was speechless for a while, and finally said, "If you don't want to see it, you can see it. Anyway, it's just a show, but the teacher told me Among the rosters, none came."

Liu Ke also found out, and he asked, "Are you not optimistic about me, or are you on the sidelines and continue to observe?"

Shang Jinling thought for a while and said: "It may not be the case. After all, he risked his life to help Master Wang. He was charged with the crime of bullying the king, and he didn't want to be too serious. I checked secretly during this period, and these people have all died. After the silence, no matter whether it is King Duan or King Jing, the two are not close to each other, and they are separated from the court intentionally or unintentionally, and even the emperor seems not to notice."

Liu Ke's eyes darkened, and he said, "Lingling, those people who come here can still be used if the wind is smooth, but when the wind and waves hit, there are not many people who can rely on them. I still have to cultivate my own power. But ..."

"Time is too tight."

Liu Ke nodded, "That's why uncle gave me this list."

This list has always been in Yun Zhishen's hands, and it was what King Jing wanted so hard at the beginning.He has been by Liu Ke's side for so many years, and he never handed over how Liu Ke and Shang Jinling misunderstood Master Wang, but he knew that if he gave it, he would put these people in danger. This is a threat, so Yun Zhishen will never mention it unless it is absolutely necessary.

As for the Queen's redress, Master Wang's generous sacrifice is a signal to give it a go. He believes that this young prince has a kind and gentle heart, which is also the hope for these people.

"At the beginning, we only offered help out of righteousness and love. If we were threatened again, it would be too much for heaven." Shang Jinling said, "So for these people, we can only beg, not threaten."

"I understand." Liu Ke picked up the tea on the table and took a sip, "Grandfather would remember these people back then. Apart from using his strength, he also wanted to repay them. I have to carefully consider how to invite them. By the way, Ling Son, do you have the list?"

Shang Jinling nodded, "Do you want to see it?"

"Ah."

Shang Jinling got up, walked into the inner room, and quickly fetched the box.

Liu Ke took out the list, and there were not many people on it. He asked, "Have you already memorized this list?"

"of course."

Liu Ke then stood up and threw the list to the side of the charcoal basin.The charcoal fire curled around the edge of the book, and it soon turned yellow and black, and then turned into ashes.

"In this way, no one will know except you and me." Liu Ke turned his head and saw that Shang Jinling was looking at him for a moment, with a warm smile in his eyes, and his eyes were burning, so he couldn't help asking in a low voice, "Why? Did you do something wrong?"

Shang Jinling shook his head, "No, that's right, I've wanted to do this for a long time."

Keeping it is a hidden danger after all.

"Let's get down to business, since we have the heart, we must move as soon as possible." Shang Jinling looked serious and dignified, "Let's not care about the court, the emperor's control of the capital is overwhelming, the five cities' soldiers and horses, Jingzhao The mansion, as well as the imperial army, control all the security and defense of the capital, even if you win over all the court officials, as long as these places are still under the emperor's control, he will still not be afraid of you."

Liu Ke frowned, wondering: "It's not easy to move them. I have been the emperor for decades, and if nothing else, the military power is firmly in my hands. Even if Yang Shenxing implemented the military reform law, he never moved the imperial army." and the Five Cities Bingma Division."

"You can't move."

"Then what should we do? If you want to move them, simple crimes are useless, unless the old bastard himself doesn't like it..." As soon as the words fell, Liu Ke paused, rolled his eyes, rubbed his chin and thought, "Say what? Back, the commander of the forbidden army has a good relationship with Qin Hai. They are both old people around the old bastard. False words."

When Shang Jinling heard this, a smile appeared in his eyes, and he pointed to the two tokens left in the box, "As soon as the Lantern Festival is over, Brother Seven, we will move this money."

"Are we short of money now?"

Shang Jinling said: "Naturally there is no shortage of basic necessities, food, housing and transportation, but there is a shortage of money to buy."

"Who are you going to buy?" Liu Ke asked directly, "Qin Hai?"

Shang Jinling blinked, "Yes."

"That old guy... is indeed greedy for money. In order to get news, King Duan and King Jing gave him a lot of benefits. It is not so easy for us to bribe him."

"Then add another one to help him shovel away Zhu Yuanfeng."

Liu Ke was taken aback by Shang Jinling's words, but soon he realized, "Are you going to get rid of him?"

Shang Jinling gave him an appreciative look, "Of course, Qin Hai usually targets brother Yuanfeng a lot. The emperor sees this kind of power struggle among eunuchs, but he will not stop him, because it is a In this balance, he will not help either party, and he will appease whichever party suffers. When I was in Yongliang, I asked Brother Yuanfeng a little bit, and Qin Hai actually did it quite blatantly, but..."

"If I help him, not only will I break the balance, but I will also be accused of colluding with the prince, and the old bastard will no longer trust him." Liu Ke continued smoothly.

The child can be taught, Shang Jinling said with satisfaction: "Well, once the emperor's trust is lost, it is like a disaster for these eunuchs. If he doesn't want to give up, he can only rely on you completely, then the relative commander of the imperial army... ..."

Under Shang Jinling's gaze, Liu Ke snapped his fingers, "Don't even think about running away from a grasshopper on a rope." As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Ke picked up the teacup and drank the water in it, saying with emotion , "Gao, Lingling, why is your brain so good? What would I do without you?"

"Really? Someone brazenly asked me to stay in Yongliang before, waiting for him to pick me up in a dragon robe." Shang Jinling raised her delicate eyebrows, then raised her chin, and said with a half-smile, "Seventh brother , do you think it can work?"

Liu Ke: "..." Thinking of his own arrogance, Liu Ke laughed dryly, and quickly picked up his teacup to apologize, "I'm sorry, Lingling, I still have to rely on you, pour you a glass of water, don't bother with me gone."

Shang Jinling hummed, his eyes fell on the cup, and he became a little weird.

Seeing this, Liu Ke couldn't help asking, "What's the matter?"

"Are you drinking from my cup?"

Liu Ke was taken aback, sure enough, Xiaotuanzi was sent out as soon as he came in, so no one poured water?

Liu Ke sneered, "Let's not tell the difference so clearly, we have already kissed each other." When it came to kissing, his gaze fell on Shang Jinling's lips involuntarily, and he felt a little itchy in his heart, and looked back like a thief. The janitor should be that no one comes in to do bad things.

This time, he was acquainted with each other for the second time, and he hadn't dared to be so aggressive in the past so many years. After Shang Jinling broke the taboo involuntarily, Liu Ke became daring and wanted to get intimate whenever he had the opportunity.

They are all big boys, so there is no need to twitch. On his own ground, he gave a deep kiss firmly. He licked his lips, his eyes were a little dark, "Lingling, today's Lantern Festival."

To be honest, Shang Jinling misunderstood it. In later generations, all kinds of festivals are Valentine’s Day. As long as the atmosphere is good and the hearts are connected, if you want to go further...Shang Jinling thinks it is logical, and it is not impossible.

With this thought, and various images that made people blush and heartbeat in his mind, Shang Jinling's breath suddenly became unstable, and the hand holding Liu Ke's shoulder couldn't help tightening, and asked in a low voice: "What do you want?"

Liu Ke said: "I heard that you were not in good health before, so you must be locked up in the mansion in this cold weather, and you must have never made a fuss about the Lantern Festival in the capital."

Shang Jinling tilted his head, blinked his eyes, and suddenly had a premonition that his pants were all taken off, and you said this, "So?"

Liu Ke kissed him on the face, smiled and said: "Don't look at my brother who has been away from Beijing for so many years, but I know all the fun and delicious food here, I will take you there, keep it happy and lively." After he finished speaking, Standing up and walking towards the door, Shang Jinling only heard him muttering and chattering a lot, it can be seen that he went to arrange the Lantern Festival at night.

Sure enough, looking at the tea in front of him, Shang Jinling suddenly felt sullen and irritable. He took a sip of tea without laughing, then pulled the book aside to read. Hearing the sound of footsteps back, his cheeks bulged slightly.

When Liu Ke came back, she saw Shang Jinling buried her head in seriousness, and didn't even look at him. She looked normal, but she always felt that the atmosphere was a little strange.

He couldn't help but put a sticker next to Shang Jinling, and looked down, "Lingling, I remember you have read this book several times."

"Oh, learn the new by reviewing the past." Shang Jinling replied calmly without looking up at him.

"I'm all set."

Shang Jinling rolled her eyes in her heart, "Yes."

"Lingling, are you angry?"

Shang Jinling replied without thinking, "No."

Liu Ke: "..." If you retort so quickly, then you have it, but why?

He scratched his head, unable to figure it out, and paced back and forth behind Shang Jinling.

What a nerd, isn't he well-read?

"Don't walk around and make noises to disturb me." Shang Jinling pinched the pages of the book, and her tone became even worse. It's useless to read so many forbidden books, but it's time to practice, silver gun wax gun head!

Regarding Shang Jinling's study, Liu Ke never dared to disturb him too much, so he said cautiously: "Then you work hard, and I will come to you later."

Shang Jinling rubbed the center of her brows, and responded casually, feeling very tired.
