Drunken Exquisiteness

Just after the second shift, the bustling Yige City in the daytime faded away, and there was peace and quiet. The two brightly lit lanterns in front of Shangjiufang Lingwang's Mansion illuminate the stone lions at the door, reflecting the snow on the side of the road. At the end of the long street, the night sky showed a rare clearness, and a few starlights reflected the snow in the sky, adding a bit of coldness.

A carriage quietly stopped at the back door of Lingwang's Mansion. The curtain moved slightly. Someone bowed and got out of the car. A dark blue cloak fell quietly with the footsteps, making it difficult to see the light and shadow. Yan Xi had been waiting for a long time, and he brought people to Ye Tianling's study all the way, and respectfully opened the curtain. The man lowered his head and entered the room, and pulled down the hood on his cloak, revealing Zhang Qingdan's face, it was Qing Chen.

In the study room stood facing a few simple ancient wooden bookcases, filled with books and volumes, a young man wearing a scholar's turban was looking through the scrolls, and Ye Tianling and a few people were sitting and talking next to him.

Qing Chen glanced at him. Apart from the situation, he recognized that one of them was Chu Yuanjing, the current attendant of the Taiyuan Academy. After two years of being a foreign official at a young age, he was transferred back to Tiandu and joined the Yushitai. He was among the rookies. The outstanding one is also the son-in-law of General Feng Si. At this time, Mo Buping and Chu Yuanjing also saw her, and both stood up and said: "I have seen the princess."

The young scholar next to the bookcase heard the words and threw the book away. When he turned his head, he saw a plain ink-washed face in a white shirt with a snowy coat. A pair of sharp, dormant eyes were light and light, but with a luster that people would not dare to look at, like a dim light. The crystal clear black gems fascinated people for a moment. He couldn't help but stayed. Dafang stepped forward to see him: "This is Princess Qingping?"

Qing Chen smiled, and drew back the hem of his clothes lightly to return courtesy to them: "Mr. Mo and Master Chu have met, dare to ask these two..."

Ye Tian Ling Qingjun's eyes turned slightly on Qing Chen's face, with a cheerful expression: "I said I would introduce you to you early in the morning." Pointing to the young scholar, "Jiangnan Lu Qian."

Qing Chen was slightly surprised: "But at the age of five, Lu Qian, who was famous in Jiangdong for his poems and known as'the world's number one talented man'?"

Lu Qian smiled and said: "The princess laughed and talked and played in a young time. With Brother Chu and Brother Du, how dare you call a genius?"

Qing Chen's pretty eyes lit up and looked at the person next to Chu Yuanjing: "So, is this the'crazy champion' Du Junshu?"

Du Junshu laughed, unruly, he was really crazy: "Du Junshu is now just a small staff in the Royal Highness's mansion. Where else is the champion?"

This Du Junshu is a champion selected by the Emperor of Heaven in the eighteenth year of Shengwu. His humanistic talent is outstanding and his fame has moved the world, but he is casual and wild. After the title of the gold list, he argued with the adviser and refuted the ancient rituals. For this, he was reprimanded by the emperor's decree and ordered him to think behind closed doors. Unexpectedly, he went back to the mansion with his horse, and left, vowing that he would never see the reform of the old law and would never enter the court in his life.

Qing Chen smiled and looked at Ye Tianling, wondering how he could bring such a wild character under his command. These two people in the Jiangnan Tiandu are the leaders of today's civil servants. Like Chu Yuanjing, they are both outstanding figures who are determined to innovate. They are exactly what Ye Tianling needs, and they are bound to do something in the future.

Qing Chen said: "I have heard of the two great names for a long time, and I finally had the honor to see them today."

Unexpectedly, Du Junshu stood up and said to Qing Chen, "Although Du has never known the princess earlier, but he heard that he often mentioned that he admires the princess very much, please accept Du a certain respect."

Qing Chen was taken aback, and hurriedly said sideways: "I feel ashamed of it." But since Ye Tianling often talked about himself with Du Junshu, he knew that this person was his confidant, and couldn't help but look at Du Junshu a little bit more. But seeing him behaved innocently, his commoner coat looked down and out, but he couldn't hide the mounds in his chest. Compared with Uneven's deep and steady old, he was a bit more suave and mad.

And that Jiangnan Lu Qian, with poems and books in his belly, although he is young, his eyes are dazzling, and he looks like a resourceful person. She turned her head and smiled at Ye Tianling, quite moved by his means of knowing people.

Ye Tianling touched her eyes and raised her eyebrows: "This mad champion is not just a fake name, you will know it after a long time, don't care about him."

Du Junshu insisted on worshipping: "A year ago, the princess rescued tens of thousands of people in Jingli, and Muyuantang did a lot of good deeds. Du this worship was to thank the princess for the people."

Qing Chen smiled and said: "If you want to thank you, His Highness Xie is the right way. The Muyuantang's money is from him, and most people are recommended by him, just like the old genius doctor Zhang Dingshui. Where can I get it?"

Du Jun replied: "Du has a heart-wrenching admiration for His Royal Highness, and now there is also Mr. Mo and the princess's assistant, why worry about the uncertainty of the world?"

Mo Buping stroked the five willow beards and said, "There is still a dangerous road in the court! The princess, now the emperor has abolished the prince, do you have other plans?"

With the light reflecting on the jade face, Qing Chen said indifferently: "Although the emperor has abolished the prince, there is still only one prince in his heart. When a person is old, he will inevitably be vigilant in his place. The way."

Lu Qian said: "This is the reason for quiet braking. His Royal Highness intercedes for the dead prince today, but it is a good move."

Qing Chen glanced at Ye Tianling, that steep face turned against the light of the candle, and cast a faint shadow of arrogance, and the corners of her lips were sharp and clearly visible.

Now Ye Tianling’s life experience is only known to her and Mo Buping, sincerely filial father, friendly brother, short number of others or can do anything, but he is separated by a chasm and abyss, in which decades of blood and blood hatred, How can it be easily taken? In the court palace these days, he hid himself so deeply, if nothing happened in his words and deeds, under the word "forbearance", how much grief and hatred was suppressed in his heart, he knelt outside the hall of Zhiyuan in the heavy snow, he again What are you thinking about?

Ye Tianling moved slightly in the shadow of the lamp, and the faint eyes seemed to fill the night into the night, boundless, and said coldly: "I just did what I should do. Now that the Sihou Kingdom is sitting in the big, Northern Xinjiang will be in chaos sooner or later. Can you let Brother Dahuang go to Zhuozhou, and see that Bei Yanhou's face is ruined with a writing?"

Chu Yuanjing frowned and said: "His Royal Highness is really worried about the safety of the abandoned prince, but King Zhan's behavior today is somewhat unexpected."

Du Jun said: "It's not surprising that King Zhan has long been known as a courteous corporal among the clansmen and scholars. Now the Queen of Yin has been set up in the middle palace, and the Jin family is married. This is not to be underestimated."

Lu Qian suddenly smiled and said: "It's too high to walk. The clearer you behave, the higher you go, the more provocative." Qing Chen glanced at him lightly when he heard the words. The words were really transparent. People.

Mo Buping nodded and said: "King Zhan is in Ming, it is not enough to be afraid, on the contrary, the place where King Ming is hidden is extremely deep. This time the prince has been involved in several secret troubles, I am afraid that there will be some care afterwards. There is also King Ji, he and Ming. All kings came from Empress Xiaozhen, and according to the theory of elder and child, they are still the first of all kings."

Chu Yuanjing said: "The king of Ji is brave and impatience. The emperor once said that he is difficult to become a handsome talent. With such a judgment, how can he put Sheji in his hands?"

Du Junshu went on to say: "Wang Ming has a lot of management, but the biggest bargaining chip in his hand is the Feng family." After that, he looked at Qing Chen.

Originally, Qing Chen only listened to their discussion. Seeing Du Junshu's opinion, he smiled slightly: "It is light or dark, but it is a layer of separation. If he wants to be in the dark, he might as well push him to a higher place, and it will naturally become clear."

"I would like to hear the details." Du Jun said.

Qing Chenfeng’s eyes were clear, and a faint brilliance passed by: "The crown prince is abolished. How can the seat of the prince remain vacant for a long time? After some time, the emperor will inevitably summon his ministers to select a new prince. You might as well elect King Ming together, not afraid of crowds. King Ming will not let go of this great opportunity, so far it is unclear and clear."

"In this way, what if you really set him up?" Lu Qian asked.

Yu Rong was calm, Qing Chen’s lips were shallow, and the light and shadow swept a beautiful arc: "Why is King Zhan easy to deal with? King Ming adds a stroke here, and the two are balanced. What's more, Whether to stand or whoever to stand, after all, it is only in the emperor's heart. What will the emperor think about as they all hope?"

Several people were silent, and Ye Tianling remained silent under the lights, as if thoughtful. He raised his eyes by accident, but when he met Qing Chen, he also looked to him, and his eyes were densely packed with the clearness of autumn water, causing him to lightly move, and there was an illusion of softness.

Du Junshu and Lu Qian looked at each other and said: "A good snipe and clam fight, the fisherman is profitable, but the key to doing things lies in the Feng family. The Feng family has been married to the royal family for generations since the founding of the country, and the noble family took it as the head, and the emperor ascended the throne. It is Feng Jialibao. If Fengxiang leans to either side, it will be difficult for the emperor to restrain his power. Fengxiang’s words and actions are of great importance. Empress Xiaozhen and Fengxiang are brothers and sisters, and King Ming is the parent and son of Empress Xiaozhen. He is also Feng Xiang’s son-in-law. Could the princess give us a word?"

Qing Chen raised her eyes, and the lamp shadow flickered in her eyes. No matter what she said, she was still a member of the Feng family.

However, Feng's family is like a bottomless pool of deep water. She and Feng Yan's "father and daughter" tried to weigh each other, but no one could figure out the other. How can she give this sentence?

Qing Chen raised her eyebrows helplessly: "The Feng family has relied on marriage for several generations. The dance has died and Luan Fei has gone. If I expected it to be good, the Feng family should wait and see for the time being. After all, in Feng Yan's view, this In fact, he has only one **** in his hand."

Du Junshu and Lu Qian were very surprised that Qing Chen called Fengxiang by the name, but the meaning in Qing Chen's words was already clear.

Qing Chen's words caused Ye Tianling's heart to move slightly, and he said: "Although the gentry's power has been in power for a while, there are times when the prosperity is bound to decline. Nowadays, the matter of the prince is not enough, but the princes must be warned. The center moves. The princes will take the opportunity to cause chaos, but it is also a good opportunity to withdraw from the vassal. If the power of the princes is cut, the Central Plains will be unified without worry, and then they can let go of the foreign enemies and completely eliminate the continuous military troubles."

When he said something, he was looking for a long time, and Baishi Jiye sketched in front of him. At this time, everyone focused on the store with disdain, the deep confidence between his eyebrows, as if advances and retreats were in the palm of your finger.

Mo Buping nodded and said, "His Royal Highness is right. The princes and clergy are fighting against courtesy, and foreign troubles are endless. Not to mention the prince, even the emperor is sitting on pins and needles."

Chu Yuanjing thought to himself, this remark also clarified the path of the gentry's inevitable decline. Most of the civil servants of this dynasty came from the family of clans and nobles and were hereditary, but the generals were mostly **** campaigns, and they belonged to the poor family. Since King Ling was in charge of the Ministry of War, he only talked about military merits. Regardless of his family background, he promoted a large number of low-ranking generals. It has been a long time since the gentry Zuozheng, with the arrogance of the King Ling, how can they continue to sit up? This also made him and some new civil servants willing to follow, because the master in front of him was different from the other princes, and he had a long-term ambition of wielding a blade of a hundred mountains, and a lofty ambition to strive for governance. All this made him reconciled. Surrender.

The sound leaked more, and the night became deeper and deeper. Ye Tianling looked out of Hei Ji's window and said, "That's just as the princess said."

A few people knew it, and they said: "Your Highness, it's already the third watch, I should go back later." After casting a glance at the three of Lu Qian, they left together.

Before leaving, Du Junshu took a deep look at Qing Chen, remembering that a few years ago, after drinking, he was violently criticizing the world's women with Ling Wang, but no one could catch him. Did you think that there was such a woman in the world that made people feel admired? Ling Wang now seems to have deep-seated love, and the fate is subtle and indescribable. Thinking of this, he felt comfortable, and put Lu Qian's shoulders on his shoulders and said, "Brother Lu, life is happy, I won't be drunk tonight!"

Lu Qian had long been accustomed to his casualness, and he smiled: "Brother is accompanied." He went side by side with him.
