Assassin He Chunxia

Chapter 62 Floating Life
Wang Juaner entered, put the food box in her hand on the table, brought out a drawer of crystal fresh pork dumplings, a few jujube paste rolls, and replaced a few plates of dim sum dishes that were cool on the table, sighed, and opened the lower layer, A cup of wolfberry stewed chicken soup.He took the bowl and spoon, scooped half of the bowl, and walked to the bedside and sat down, "Shirtless."

Mo Qingshan faced the wall and slept on his side, the tip of his ear moved, but he didn't say a word.

"I know that you haven't slept. If you come to feed you in the spring and summer, you will still have something to eat and drink. You are not happy when I come. I will also say if you are not happy. Just for your sake, Aunt Bai is making a fuss and wants to go back to Yangzhou. Everyone feels awkward. The palace has sent a lot of gifts in the past few days, and it has given enough face. When are you going to be aggrieved, get up and persuade Aunt Bai!" Wang Juaner put the soup in her hand. The bowl gently fell on the head of the bed, and deliberately tapped the edge of the bowl with a spoon, "Did you hear what I said, Yan Zhi, Yan Die, and Chun Xia studied well in the women's school, just for you, everyone Didn't go to school!"

"You and Chun Xia have martial arts skills and are sword masters. You can go to the rivers and lakes. When we go back to Yangzhou, the only way to go is to get married. Why don't you think about this!" Wang Juaner was a little annoyed as she spoke, and pushed her twice. , Mo Qingshan ignored her and continued pretending to sleep.Wang Juaner knew clearly in her heart that she was deliberately ignoring her, and scolded her a few more times, got up to pack the food box and was about to leave, and added a sentence before going out, "Eat some more, don't be so hungry. Qi Er Shao came and asked Hello, my mother said that you haven't seen anyone recently, and he is now going to the Spring and Summer Courtyard."

After Wang Juaner had passed by for a while, Mo Qingshan sat up slowly, took the chicken soup by the pillow and drank it. With some strength, she got up and moved a few steps, then slowly moved towards the courtyard in the middle of April.

The sky is not dark, and the crescent moon hangs like a hook in the corner of the sky.

Qi Baiyu was lying on the stone table in the courtyard, with his legs hanging down, staring blankly at the sky, He Chunxia turned his back to him, raised Erlang's legs, leaned back, and supported the edge of the table with his elbows.

"Why are you here tonight? If your wife knows, she will have to come over tomorrow to listen to the class. You can really smell the vinegar smell from [-] miles away."

"The lady who hasn't been there yet." Qi Baiyu smiled, "Is Mrs. Bai still insisting on going back to Yangzhou?"

"Well, thinking about our family going back to buy a new house, think about how many people we came to the capital, but a lot of people went back, Shanshan, Kuanglansheng, two sisters Yan Zhi and Yan Die, and my second foolish junior brother. , the ancestral house has been sold, and the money is still in the hands of Yan Zhi." He Chunxia counted one by one with his fingers, sighed and looked up at the crescent moon, "My master has been discussing with Big Brother Di these two days, saying that the approval will be made first. With the official documents and Ren Shu, let us take them back and transfer Zhang Zhou Porridge to Nanzhen Fusi."

"Do you still remember Yang Zijie?"

He Chunxia nodded.

"A case was sent this afternoon, saying that Yang Zijie was dead, and the head of the police had already taken over, so I didn't ask any more. As a result, when I returned to the mansion earlier, the servant said that he had someone send a Du Liniang costume to Qi mansion this afternoon. , said it owed me before." Qi Baiyu sighed, "I just realized that something was wrong, I cut open the costume, and found that there was a handkerchief in the inner lining, with four words written in blood, and the East Palace wanted to oppose it."

"I came all the way, thinking about how ugly he was when he gave up Qin Yuhong that day. Maybe he really loved her, otherwise why would he take great pains to bring her back to life? People who live selfishly will still feel guilty." Qi Baiyu closed his eyes silently, thinking in his heart. What he was thinking about was the figure of He Chunxia with red eyes and a bloody road that day.

"Do you know what you're talking about?" He Chunxia frowned, stood up, turned to look at him, still staring blankly at the sky.

"I know."

"Hurry up and tell the sage! Hurry up and tell Mr. Su! I'll go to Kuang Lansheng right away!" He Chun Xia turned around and took a step outside the hospital, and Qi Baiyu said calmly, "Don't worry."

"It's just a bloody handkerchief with no real evidence, who would believe it? The call for Yu Ziqi, the Marquis of Zhenxi to return to Beijing, and his successor as the emperor is very common among the common people. The four words that the East Palace wants to oppose can be a reminder, or it can be my bamboo forest. The party's intentional frame-up." Qi Baiyu turned to look at her, eyes full of exhaustion, "Politics is more complicated than you think, under the ice, killing intent is everywhere. Besides, there is no real evidence, if Donggong really wants to rebel, it must be necessary. Time to prepare, revealing the news too early will startle the snake."

"Then what to do, this is a big deal! Why do you still have the mind to come to me!" Seeing him lazily unwilling to move more, He Chun Xia jumped in a hurry.

"Because I don't know." Qi Baiyu tried her best to look at her with wide eyes, "In this political fight, I may die, you have to go back to Yangzhou, thinking about seeing you for the last time, maybe you will never see you again. "

"I was extremely firm before. I believe that the Bamboo Forest Party is for the common people in the world. There are so many things that bully people in this world. People always need to stand up and seek justice from these evil people who bully people."

"That's why I want to be the minister of Dali Temple and join the Bamboo Forest Party, but what happened these days really makes me think, what's the difference between the Zhulin Party and the Donggong? Once Mr. Zhan fell, the official positions ceded by Donggong belonged to the Bamboo Forest Party. All, but most people just happily took over the status and wealth, and above the court, Mr. Su was jointly impeached by the East Palace, and he didn't say a word."

"These Bamboo Forest Party members, who originally insisted on honesty and justice, have no power in their hands, no money in their family, only one life, and one mouth. They have to remonstrate at death, and they would rather die than scold Donggong. But now it seems that their persistence has finally paid off. Victory, power and wealth, are the fruits of victory, become precious, to bend over, to bow, to hold them in the hands and hide them in the chest."

"Greed is still greedy, the wicked are still the wicked, and even Donggong has changed from Mr. Zhan's loyal dog to Yu Ziqi's loyal dog, and the dog is still a dog."

"I don't know. Today's sage will not be a wise king, and Yu Ziqi may be. The throne is only to be replaced by another Yu family, but the people will bleed into rivers. Prosperity, the people suffer. Death, the people suffer." Qi Baiyu suddenly laughed. Get up, "I don't know if you can understand these political complaints."

"Some people have very small hearts and can only pretend to be a few people, such as me." He Chunxia smiled and lay down beside him slowly, "Some people have big hearts and are willing to pretend to be in the world. Second Young Master Qi, You are a big hearted person."

"Hahaha."

long silence.

"The moonlight tonight is really nice." Qi Baiyu said suddenly, "In a few days, I will marry Xiangling. General Han's son-in-law may be able to save my life."

"."

The two of them turned sideways, smiled at each other, and He Chunxia stuck out his tongue, "Oh, I'm going back to Yangzhou, I don't know if I can go. Then, I don't have anything of value to give you, I'll go to the teacher later. If you want some valuable jewelry, take it to Miss Han."

"Okay." Qi Baiyu looked at her, as if she couldn't get enough of it, she swallowed the words again, repeated many times, and finally opened her mouth.

"You must come."

"it is good."

Mo Qingshan sat quietly outside the courtyard gate, the moonlight was gentle.

Miyagi Meridian Gate.

The moon is falling, the cock is crowing, and it is rising.

Thousands of civil and military officials entered, lined up at the Jinshui Bridge, and slowly moved forward.

Hundreds of jinshi followed closely, and Su Sanqing slowly followed at the end of the team, taking this section of the road.

Pass through Fengtianmen.

Enter the Royal Palace.

Today, the golden temple is passed down.

The ministers stood apart from the left and right, and stood to listen. Hundreds of scholars lined up outside the hall, waiting for the holy sound.

Several hours have passed, and the sun is already on the rise, and the saint has not yet risen.

Standing under the dragon chair, Yu Ziqi was already extremely impatient, and ordered the eunuch waiting in the hall to call Su Sanqing over, "I'm afraid my starling won't come. If he doesn't announce this list, then let me come."

Su Sanqing shook his head, neither humble nor arrogant, "Since ancient times, those who have been elected to the imperial examinations and entered the palace are all disciples of the emperor. Leading the coast of the earth, don't be a king and minister, your majesty has a noble status, but after all, he is just a minister, a minister, or something that a minister does. For example, at this time, everyone is waiting.”

"The minister should do what the minister should do, and the emperor should also do what the emperor should do." Yu Ziqi sneered, "Mr. Su, since you are the chief assistant of the cabinet and the leader of the literary world, please fulfill your duties and be a minister. What to do, go and ask the emperor to get up."

Su Sanqing bowed and saluted, "Before entering office, this minister was just a commoner, how dare he enter or leave the palace of the saint at will, it's up to His Highness to invite him."

For a while, Yu Ziqi couldn't think of a reason to shirk the counterattack, gritted his teeth, and stopped answering.

After waiting for another half an hour, Zhan Si led a group of palace maids and eunuchs into the palace, shouting loudly, sitting or standing, dozing off all the ministers, ordering everyone to kneel, and then went out of the palace to lead Yu Gufeng into the palace, and several palace maids followed him. At Yu Gufeng's side, he couldn't help tidying up his clothes and hair, until Yu Gufeng sat on the dragon chair before retreating to the sides.

Yu Gufeng coughed twice to clear his throat, "Everyone loves to be flat."

All the ministers in the hall stood up unevenly.

"List."

Su Sanqing stepped forward, took out a roll of silk paper from his sleeve and handed it over.

Yu Gufeng yawned, glanced briefly, and lowered his voice, "Just read it?"

Su Sanqing nodded.

"It's so dense, it gives me a headache just looking at it." Yu Gufeng yawned again, "Today there are only one and three people, just tell me directly."

"Okay." Su Sanqing nodded, "The champion of this imperial examination is He Zhuangzhuang." Yu Gufeng said, "Huh?" He Chunxia's face appeared in his mind, "What's your surname? What's your relationship with He Haitang?"

"Going back to His Majesty, He Haitang should be regarded as his distant aunt." Su Sanqing frowned slightly, "He Zhuangzhuang's eldest brother He Xiaoyun served in Jinyiwei and made many meritorious deeds, so this person can participate in the imperial examination."

"It's really annoying, why are the people of the He family hanging around in front of me every day?" Yu Gufeng scolded secretly, and said, "Zhuang Yuan Lang, isn't that going to enter the Hanlin Academy, isn't that under my nose every day? No, this champion. Instead, just give him the top three and let him go somewhere."

"But." Su Sanqing frowned, his eyes met Yu Ziqi who was sneering under the dragon chair.

"No but." Yu Gufeng randomly found a name on the top three list on silk paper, and said loudly, "This imperial examination, the top three, the champion Sun Cheng."

"The champion Sun Cheng."

"The champion Sun Cheng."

In the group of scholars, Zhu Jiang frowned and whispered to He Zhuangzhuang next to him, "Mr. Su gave a pen to Brother He, why is this champion?"

"No. [-] Yuan Hemiao"

"No. [-] Yuan Hemiao"

He Zhuangzhuang sneered, as if he had expected it, Zhu Jiang patted him on the shoulder, "No hurry, maybe Brother He is Tanhua."

"Exploring Flowers and Zhujiang."

"Exploring Flowers and Zhujiang."

"Congratulations, Brother Zhu." He Zhuangzhuang shook his head and smiled. Facing Zhu Jiang's unbelievable surprise, he patted him on the shoulder, "Brother Zhu, hurry up and go to the hall."

"This" Zhu Jiang hesitated and ran into the hall, running faster and faster, running for a while and then turning back, "Brother He, we'll have a drink together later."

"Go quickly." He Zhuangzhuang waved his hands again and again.

Inside the Royal Palace.

After reading the names of the three, Yu Gufeng drooped his eyelids, got up and was about to leave, the expressions of all the ministers changed, "Your Majesty, the grand ceremony is not over yet."

"Isn't this kind of trivial matter left to Mr. Zhan in the past?" Yu Gufeng handed the list back to Su Sanqing, "For the next thing, I'll leave it to Mr. Su."

Yu Ziqi immediately stepped forward, "Myna, these are all new disciples of the emperor, how can you let a minister come to announce, I'll do it."

"It's not all the same, whoever loves to announce will be announced." Yu Gufeng said "oh", remembering something, and motioned Su Sanqing to hand over the list to Yu Ziqi, "I have accepted a pair of Manchus as adopted sons and daughters. Today, I will go to Guozijian to see what they have learned, brother Ziqi, you can go with me too."

"Yes." Yu Ziqi took the list, watched Yu Gufeng leave, stepped forward, stood in front of the dragon chair, turned his head, and gave Su Sanqing another look.

"I heard from my adoptive father that he loves playing chess with you very much. Every time you let him have three sons, he has never won. I am not good at chess, but I know how to promote strengths and avoid weaknesses. What you do, each performs its own duties. If you are not good at chess, then ask someone to play chess for me, Mr. Su, please be my chess player and take the world as chess."

Su Sanqing smiled, bowed and lowered his eyebrows, shaking his head without answering.

In the bottom of his eyes, a very bright light was fleeting.

I have been taking the world as chess for more than ten years. It's not that I refuse to win Mr. Zhan, it's just that the time has not come.

Play with me?

you?
Not qualified.
