Your heart's desire

Luo Yan arranged for them a palace in Xisuo, where they could take a short rest, take a bath and change clothes.When it was dark and the lights came on, he led the way to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

It's been a long time since I entered this palace, the eunuch who came to call for someone walked in front, and Chi Pin led He Jian to walk behind, feeling quite emotional in his heart.

Back then, Lin Ying studied hard day and night just to have a place in the court and to prevent people around him from being bullied for no reason.

But he thought that although it was as he expected, in the end it didn't turn out as he expected.

After all, the people around him left him one by one, and there was nothing he could do about it. He could only watch helplessly, and shed at most two useless tears.

Thinking about it, I also feel that it is really good luck to trick people, and now even the world can be his.But he chose to escape, hiding in that desolate place in the south of the Yangtze River.

Thoughts are not deep, the long corridor surrounded by red bricks and blue tiles is endless, separated by gates one after another, like a huge maze, which makes people feel a little breathless.

Inadvertently, his eyes swept aside, but he saw He Jian turning his head around and looking around, as if he was seeing this scene for the first time, and he was very amazed.

The more you walked in, the objects held by the coming and going palace people finally stopped being clothes and flowerpots, but changed into various pastries.

He Jian looked very pleased, and reached out his hand to take it, but Chi Pin slapped the back of his hand suddenly, and taught him a lesson: "Don't be rude, do you know where this pastry was sent? You've lost your tongue, it's in the past Make yourself an enemy!"

The vigilance of the weekdays came up again, but it was also helpless.Even if they were the third-rank officials in the court, they would not dare to act wildly in this palace.

What's more, they are just ordinary people now, if they get into trouble easily, some inexplicable troubles will inevitably happen in the future.

He Jian was stunned, quickly retracted his hands, his eyes were wide and round, and he narrowed his mouth in aggrieved manner.

It was the eunuch who spoke in relief: "Don't worry, my lords, this book is just for you, the emperor ordered, you two can be free in this palace, and have the right to be your own home!"

"For us?"

Chi Pin murmured in a low voice, only then did he notice that there was an endless stream of people coming and going in the long corridor that had walked all the way.

All of them looked in a hurry, each walking faster than the other, as if something terrible had happened, and they were afraid that if they made a mistake, their lives would be lost.

He frowned and thought about it for a while, and it was not surprising to say that the banquet was about.Luo Yan has sat on the throne, how can he be negligent when he meets an old friend today.

But there is still something wrong with this matter after all.According to common sense, if there were only the three of them eating, even if there was a big banquet and some ostentation, there would be no need for such a big battle at all.

"Dare to ask Eunuch, is there any happy event in this palace?"

He thought about it and couldn't find the right way, if there is really a reason, maybe it's just like this.

He asked without hesitation, thinking that he would be able to congratulate Luo Yan when he got the news and met Luo Yan for a while, which was considered polite.

The father-in-law just smiled, turned around and looked at Chi Pin with a puzzled look, and then turned to look at He Jian.

"The two lords really like to talk and joke. The emperor specially ordered them to come down today. He wants to vindicate the grievances of the two lords in the Hall of Mental Cultivation. The current situation is already when the gates of the palace are closed, but he insisted on recruiting all the civil and military officials one by one. , I am waiting in the Hall of Mental Cultivation right now."

While talking, the father-in-law always had the most common kind of smile on his face.In this dark night, taking advantage of the palace lanterns on both sides of this road, that face makes people feel creepy, and they can't help trembling.

Chi Pin was annoyed by his smiling face, and was really surprised when he heard his words: "Waiting for us?"

He leaned forward, but the father-in-law didn't speak any more, as if tacitly acquiescing, he continued to walk ahead.He had no choice but to return to his senses and take a look.

The eyes of the two people intertwined for a moment, but they were both incomparably dignified.

It is also good to say.If Luo Yan wanted to arrange some official positions for the two of them, he would have to make it clear about the cases left in the previous court.

Enron followed the figure forward, zigzagging and walking for about half a stick of incense, before arriving at the gate of the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Looking up from a distance along the steps, the inside is very bright and dazzling.The closer they got, the more alluring the aroma of food on the table became, and the hungry guts that had made them hungry for a long time began to bark involuntarily.

The father-in-law who led the way saluted at the door, saw Luo Yan waving his hand, and bowed down.Chi Pin raised his head slightly to look at Luo Yan who was sitting high, and walked in slowly holding He Jian's hand.

Looking around, almost all the officials in the court have been replaced, leaving only a few faces who once said they did not want to contact anyone.

Seeing the two of them walking in, all the officials cast their eyes on the door in unison, and moved slowly with their steps. There was a small movement just now, but now it is so quiet that people dare not even breathe.

"Long live the emperor, long live!"

The harsh footsteps stopped, Chi Pin led He Jian and knelt down in front of the hall to salute.

The light on the tall lampstand on the side was so bright that people couldn't keep their eyes open.Luo Yan flicked his sleeves and screamed, and then gave him a seat.

Seeing this situation, the deacon father-in-law standing aside opened the imperial decree in his hand and was about to read it out, but Luo Yan suddenly had a sudden impulse, stood up and walked down slowly.

"No need, this matter, let me say it myself."

There were about [-] tables in the hall, and the night outside was already dark, and it was pitch black looking out from the two opened doors.The wind was blowing in, blowing along Luo Yan's face, very comfortable.

The father-in-law nodded and put the objects in his hand on the desk, Luo Yan raised the wine glass in his hand to his chest, at that time his body had already descended to the bottom floor, and he scanned all the officials around, Then he cleared his throat: "I think all my lovers have heard about Mr. Chi's past, and I don't know what's on their minds. If I want to reuse Mrs. Chi today, do my lovers have any objections?"

There was plenty of wine and meat at the table, before anyone spoke, there were already many people who were eating recklessly during the banquet.But Luo Yan's words made it clear that the surroundings were silent for a moment, and then there was another violent commotion.

This commotion lasted for quite a while, and when the sound finally slowly quieted down, a situation of divergent opinions began.

Although it is said that everyone is a reasonable master, but after listening carefully, there are only a few words going around, and in the final analysis, this group of people is divided into two factions.

On the one hand, he advocated reuse, saying that he was guilty, but the emperor should rule the world when he ascended the throne. Now that the imperial court employs people, it is better to stay.

On the other hand, it is absurd that a criminal from the imperial court who was on the run would come back after many years and still want to gain a place in the officialdom. Who will abide by this law in the future.

Chi Pin and He Jian sat in the banquet and listened in a daze. Luo Yan also seemed to be watching the excitement. He poured his head up while pouring.After a while, the words were finished, and the flagon was also emptied.

"Your Majesty, there is no right or wrong to say this. In the final analysis, it depends on what you mean, Your Majesty. The people in this world trust you. No matter what decision you make, they will not have any complaints."

When everyone was quiet, there was an old man with a flattering face at the first glance, who hurriedly asked for a word.

Although the words are not bad, but speaking bluntly in such a situation, it still sounds like a bit of praise, making people wonder whether to cry or laugh.

After he finished speaking, although some people still looked unwilling, they still shut their mouths knowingly. They were too frightened to refute by this sentence, for fear that with a slight word, they would ruin the lives of their own family. .

Luo Yan threw down the empty wine jug, and raised his hand to signal for another drink, but the palace servant who was standing beside him came to stop him boldly: "Your Majesty, have you forgotten that this wine is old wine, and the palace is here to drink it?" An altar. You are already a little drunk, this matter can be discussed later, the slave should help you in first!"

The father-in-law's voice was quite loud, and once it echoed in the high-roofed room, everyone in the room could hear it clearly.

Chi Pin remembered that he didn't seem to have seen Luo Yan's situation after being drunk.So at this moment, I just raised a pair of eyeballs and looked at it, not knowing what to do, so I had to remain unchanged and respond to all changes.

Unexpectedly, Luo Yan was actually a drunken master. Hearing that the father-in-law said that he was drunk, he raised his hand and slapped him hard. Everyone at the scene suddenly fell silent and took a deep breath of air.

"I'm not drunk, I asked you to get me some wine, can't you hear me?"

He staggered and looked like he was about to fall to the ground. The father-in-law quickly came up to support him, but he slapped him two steps away.

The people below hurriedly bowed their gods, bowed their heads and kowtowed: "The emperor's dragon body is golden!"

Luo Yan calmed down a few breaths, and his cheeks could be seen to be faintly flushed.The feet were mixed together indiscriminately, and the head was wobbly walking towards the banquet.

Chi Pin was still a little worried, he raised his head quietly, and seeing that he was getting closer and closer to him, he was ready to reach out his hand to embrace him at any time.

But he didn't want to suddenly see a black shadow passing by at a very high speed, before he could clearly see what happened, he heard Luo Yan's low moan, and the banquet suddenly became flustered.
