Volume 1 The Return of the Old Man Chapter 35 King of Qin

"Reputation?" Leng Linjiang said in surprise: "Ah Ji is not a famous and noble girl, and she doesn't plan to marry a hairpin family, what do you want to do with such a burdensome reputation, you shouldn't eat or drink, and you drag people down, and you're tied up." ”

Huo Hanshan nodded thoughtfully: "That's right, there is no shortage of women in this dynasty who set up another female household, and no one dares to despise it." ”

The two of them were talking about each other, one moment was the lady of the Li family, and the other was the girl of the Wang family, and none of them were useful and serious.

The wind under the window was tight, and the eavesdropping person couldn't stand the cold, and his figure flashed, walking towards the outside of Qinglong Temple.

Seeing the black shadow flashing outside the window, Leng Linjiang and Huo Hanshan both breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at each other.

"But it's gone, I thought he should leave when he heard that Ah Qi and Jiuchao went to the west, who would have thought that it was quite frost-resistant, and he listened to it for so long." Leng Linjiang smiled, and his expression was solemn and solemn: "Yande, the people you sent out won't lose people." ”

Huo Hanshan nodded deeply: "After receiving your letter, I carefully selected these people, I am afraid that the faces of Dali Temple and the people in my house are familiar, and they are alarmed, so I specially selected a few cautious ones from my little uncle's house, you also know, the house slaves on the Wanfu are all extraordinary, tracking, they are familiar with the road." ”

Leng Linjiang didn't smile with a smile on his face: "That is, they often have big girls and little daughters-in-law, and they won't arouse the suspicion of others." ”

Huo Hanshan let out a long sigh: "Hey, my little uncle is really doing something nonsense, but after the last time Jiuchao took care of his housekeeper, he acted a lot more restrained, this time I went to ask him to borrow someone's hand, he didn't even dare to ask more, so he asked me to pick it casually, and said that these people will be called by me in the future, and there is no need to send them back, and the deed of identity is also sent over." ”

Leng Linjiang didn't care: "The nature of the country is easy to change, and your little uncle has been raised crookedly, but it can't be changed for a moment." ”

The two of them kept gossiping, had lunch, and rested on the bed for a while, when they heard someone knocking on the door.

Huo Hanshan opened the door, and there was an old man standing outside the door, carrying a bamboo basket, the basket was covered with a clean white cotton cloth, and the corners were hung with four-color chrysanthemum knots.

The old man didn't speak, but just took two pieces of colorful square flower cakes from the basket and handed them to Huo Hanshan.

Huo Hanshan handed the old man a handful of money, and the old man saluted, and then staggered away.

Closing the door, Huo Hanshan took a bamboo chopstick and a flower cake, took out a paper roll, unfolded it, and there were four small characters written on it: Chonghua Zheng Temple.

Leng Linjiang put the paper roll on the fire, hesitated for a moment, and smashed the food case: "These people who have troubled the country can only stare at it, but they can't touch it, it's really aggrieved." ”

Huo Hanshan patted Leng Linjiang's shoulder and comforted: "If you find out where their nest is, sooner or later, they will be cleaned up, and it will not be a dispute at this time." ”

Leng Linjiang rubbed the bamboo chopsticks and said in a low voice: "King Han has been on vacation for many days, and this court is going to be turbulent." ”

Huo Hanshan was also a little sluggish, and sighed slowly: "In the past fifteen years, the prince has been abolished and established, and this court has been peaceful for a while. ”

Leng Linjiang stared, looking at the incense burner on the case, light smoke curled on it, and his voice was rare and heavy: "I don't know how many people will take their posts and go to prison after they come back from Yumen for a long time, and how many people will rise to the top." ”

Huo Hanshan spit out a breath of turbidity: "I don't want to, the affairs of the court are not something you and I can think about, let's find out all the ghosts and ghosts in Chang'an City, and wait for them to come back for a long time." ”

After saying for a while, Leng Linjiang and Huo Hanshan got up and went out.

There is an osmanthus tree in Qinglong Temple, the trunk is stout, the flowers and leaves are luxuriant, when the flowers bloom, the golden flowers are brilliant like clouds, the incense moves several miles away, it is magnificent.

As far as you can reach the branches, there are dense peace blessings, red paper, green leaves, and golden flowers, covering the empty courtyard.

Leng Linjiang and the two enjoyed the flowers under the tree, and the twelve or thirteen-year-old girl came over with a peace blessing, Leng Linjiang chose one and gave the little girl a penny.

He unfolded the scroll of paper sandwiched in the peace and blessing, and there were also four words on it: Buzheng Zheng Ancestral Hall.

He rubbed the paper roll, stuffed it into his mouth, chewed it a few times before swallowing it hard, and rolled his eyes when he choked: "Don't use such a hard paper next time, okay, change to a softer one, it's too much to eat." ”

Huo Hanshan smiled.

In this way, when the two of them were incense, they took a paper roll, and when they bought sugar water to drink, they took another paper roll, and bought a paper kite when they were released in Leyouyuan, and they had a paper roll again.

Leng Linjiang silently wrote down the names of places on the paper roll, and then swallowed the paper roll hideously, his throat was painful, and he said with difficulty: "My money has been spent." ”

Huo Hanshan took a step back and said vigilantly: "What are you doing, I don't have any money." ”

Leng Lin Jiangyin smiled compassionately, didn't say anything, turned around and left.

The Qin Palace, which is regarded as the Sixteen Princes' Mansion, is the most concise and simple palace, what flowers and trees are beautiful, and there are no extravagant furnishings, not to mention that it is compared with the East Palace, that is, compared with the Jian Palace, Zhao Wangfu, are not the same.

Xie Huiming, the king of Qin, is also the most diligent among the princes, and the people in the court are very high, the former prince, the current king of Han, is incomparable.

But God doesn't open his eyes, the King of Han, who is not as good as the King of Qin, just occupies the position of the eldest son, and he has been in ruins on the crown prince's throne, and Xie Huiming has never been able to ascend the throne smoothly.

After the crown prince was deposed, the power to supervise the country and govern the country in turn like feng shui fell smoothly into the hands of Xie Huiming, although in the past, when this power was in the hands of the prince, it was also Xie Huiming who did the work, but in the end the teacher was unknown, and now the teacher is famous, so that it is particularly easy to call people up.

The bright slanting sun sprinkled on the study, and the books were full of books in the warm sun, escaping a burst of ink fragrance.

Xie Huiming was writing at the desk, not knowing what he was writing.

Standing at the desk is Xie Huiming's daily state, or writing something, or looking at something, when he is free, he discusses with the long history of the house, and when he sees them, he is much more than when he sees the princess and concubine in the backyard.

Changshi hurriedly came, holding a stack of papers, and resting them on the bookcase: "Your Highness, the people in the East Palace have sent a message that King Han is not sick, but has left the city." ”

Xie Huiming sighed lightly, put down the brush, and the green jade tube gently knocked on the heavy mountain pen, and the aftermath trembled lightly: "Out of the city, where did you go?" ”

Changshi whispered: "Our people followed, saying that they were going to Longyou Road." ”

Xie Huiming rubbed the corners of his forehead that jumped suddenly, and frowned tightly: "Such a place full of yellow sand, dangerous and abnormal, what is King Han doing there." ”

Changshi wanted to laugh, but held back: "I heard that King Han went to the Lonely Bamboo Pavilion, but was assassinated by Orchids, and he couldn't have a good time, so he couldn't go to the Western Regions in person and buy two Orchids back." ”

Xie Hanming's face is always tight, he is not as good-looking as King Han, and he is born with a cold face, and he always loves to be tight, although he is a few years younger than King Han, he looks like a brother, the kind of brother who can be attached to the door to ward off evil spirits.

For the king of Qin has never been able to replace him, the ministers also have a lot of complaints in private, saying that the king of Qin is suffering from the loss of appearance, if he looks like the prince is outstanding, loved by everyone, and the flowers bloom, coupled with his gentle and upright temperament, diligent and capable reputation, he would have already pocketed the position of the prince.

I have to sigh, this world, after all, is still the world that looks at faces, and it is useless to change the dynasty.

Xie Huiming stiffened his face and said solemnly: "The herald orders the post stations and passes along the way, once the traces of King Han are found, they will be escorted back to the capital immediately, and there must be no mistake." ”

Changshi choked up, did he hear it wrong, wasn't it interception, such a good opportunity, and let King Han come back safely, won't he really regret it in the future?

Xie Huiming guessed Changshi's thoughts, his face turned straight, and he ordered more seriously: "Don't do anything else, King Han is the elder brother and eldest son of this king, and he is the crown prince, which is a legitimate thing, and this king will not have other thoughts." ”

Changshi was stunned.

Could it be that for so many years, in fact, he was wrong to be amorous, His Royal Highness King Qin is so diligent, in fact, he just wants to be a minister of the auxiliary monarch, and he never thought of replacing him.

He replied with a sneering yes, and continued: "Then, should you tell the sage about King Han leaving Beijing without permission?" ”

Xie Huiming pondered for a moment: "King Han's whereabouts are unknown now, if you tell your father now, your father will inevitably be worried, it is better to wait for the whereabouts of King Han and send him back to the capital, and then tell your father, so as not to make my father uneasy." ”

Changshi is even more ignorant, shouldn't he take the opportunity to fall into the well and tell the sage about it, so that the sage can reprimand the king of Han fiercely, and if he can't say it, he will be demoted from the prince of Han to the king of Hanjun.

As if he knew King Qin for the first time, he lowered his head and carefully reviewed the practices of King Qin after every bad luck in the past fifteen years, and then had a new understanding.

In the past fifteen years, the king of Han has to be unlucky every two or three years, but the king of Qin has never fallen into the ground, not even taking the opportunity to seize power, always gentle and elegant, follow the rules, do his own internal affairs, and treat the king of Han as a courtesy.

It seems that he really thinks left, it is he who sees that King Qin's wings are growing, and King Han's mud can't support the wall, speculating on King Qin's thoughts, and gradually gives birth to thoughts that should not be.

He confronted his delusion, pressed it into the dark dust, put his attitude right, claimed to be, and then walked away.

Changshi walked away, Xie Huiming stood up from behind the bookcase, walked behind the wenge screen of the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest, folded the written letter neatly, sealed the mouth, printed the fire paint wax seal, and handed it to a maid who was not good-looking: "Go, send it to Lord Zheng." ”

The maid replied carefully, and the lotus step moved lightly, walking very fast but without a sound, like a gust of wind, blowing through the study.
