Han Mo asked, "Yang You and the others bet on who?"

"Zhang Yun."

Dou Yin folded the post again.

……

The yamen of the Ministry of Rites in Daliang under the peaceful and prosperous age has always been a peaceful place.

When the emperor ascended the throne, he was criticized by others for violating the etiquette system, so he was very particular about the etiquette system. Zhang Yun was originally the emperor's teacher, and later he was in charge of the Ministry of Rites. , Gentle and reserved, more like a symbol of the important function of the Ministry of Rites.

Under his subtle influence, the entire Ministry of Rituals is also well-regulated and harmonious, unlike a vulgar officialdom full of interests and balances.

When Zhang Yun got out of the carriage, a group of officials from the Ministry of Rituals, who happened to be out on errands, bowed their hands in a typical way, and they didn't go straight until he stepped through the threshold.

When Zhang Yun entered the office, there were already many officials waiting under the door, and when they saw him, they all stepped forward and called "Ge Lao" with their hands clasped.He looked around them, and said in a warm voice: "The old man just came out of the palace. If you are not in a hurry, you can hand over the matter first. After the old man has seen it, I will talk to you adults."

It's not a year or a festival right now, what's the rush?Everyone just came here to get acquainted. In the future, Mr. Zhang Ge will be promoted to chief assistant, so that we can get closer.Hearing this remark, everyone put all the documents and files in their hands in the hands of the officials who were in charge of sending and receiving under the door, and bid farewell.

Zhang Yun's eldest son, Zhang Xu, was also among the crowd, and he immediately followed Zhang Yun into the house: "Father—"

The unfinished words were stopped in the throat by Zhang Yun's quickly raised right hand. Zhang Yun stood in the room with his back to the door.After a long time, his clear face slowly turned sideways, and then his thin body in the red robe also slowly turned around.

"The emperor wants to break the game."

Zhang Xu's eyes turned dark.

"It seems that this situation has to be broken before the battle between the head and the assistant will be settled."

Lao Lao's voice was like a muddy river flowing in the house, pushing invisible waves one by one.

"Then what should we do?"

In contrast, Zhang Xu's voice seemed very erratic.

……

Su Wei lived up to Han Mo's entrustment, and within three days he had finished the machine he wanted, and made an appointment to deliver it in the next afternoon, but Han Mo and Su Shou came out together outside the gate of Dali Temple.

Su Shou called "Father". Su Shou looked at the two wooden boxes she brought, but didn't explore what they were, but turned to Han Mo and asked, "Those who are released must be louder."

"Don't worry, this junior has doubled the number of people who were originally scheduled to go out. This momentum can only be big or small."

Su Shou nodded, looked at Su Luo again, and left.

Su Wei looked away from his back and looked at Han Mo: "What were you talking about just now?"

"Go to Taiping Hutong first, let's talk slowly while eating!"

Han Mo couldn't help but help her back into the car, and he squeezed into it himself. The compartment, which was not considered narrow at first, seemed a little cramped because of his overly tall figure.But people don't feel it at all, there is nowhere to put their legs, so they sit next to Su Luo.

Fortunately, Taiping Hutong is not far away, and the carriage drove into the yard after a while.

Su Wei smelled the aroma of the food and stepped off the carriage. Although some gluttons came, after entering the door, she still asked: "I can't get up or down at this time, what kind of food are you eating?"

"I haven't eaten yet." Han Mo sat down at the table and pointed to the other side for her to sit too.

Su Wei glanced at the delicious food on the table, and raised her tooth chopsticks bluntly, and said, "Why are you so busy?"

Ever since Chang He was let go, she hadn't heard of any serious matters in the court, and it was naturally impossible for Chang Wei to make any sudden new progress, so she also focused on the Su family these days. House.While making the kit for Han Mo, she made the kit for Hu's Courtyard along the way. Before going out, she had already sent someone to deliver a letter to Su Yan, agreeing to start the installation at noon tomorrow.

Han Mo drank two mouthfuls of meat soup and said, "Didn't you just ask your father what to tell me? What we are talking about is what we are busy these days."

"tell me the story."

"We plan to lure the snake out of the hole and recruit Chang He out again."

"Recruit him?" Su Luo didn't even bother to eat the food he picked up, "Let him go last time, and catch him again this time?"

"Catch it this time, but for real."

Su Luo frowned: "Why?"

"Because we want to get the Tiger Talisman on him."

"Then how do you know that he will definitely give you the Tiger Talisman?"

Su Luo felt that these men were really mysterious.

Han Mo smiled and said, "Do you know what the emperor is busy these days?"

"What are you busy with?"

"Busy convening first and second-rank ministers in the court to have tea. That is, the 'Zhupao man' we are staring at. Yesterday and the day before yesterday invited generals, but today, we invited cabinet ministers." Han Mo's eyes were deep. Deep, revealing an unconcealable spirit.

Su Wei straightened her waist: "You mean, the emperor is also cooperating with you?"

"In the previous imperial garden, the emperor broke the dispute between the chief and the assistant in front of the cabinet ministers, and then commended Shen Wang and the second cabinet elder for his deeds in the disaster. Finally, he mentioned that Chang He had caused chaos in the Chang Mansion earlier, and then, How to solve the Chang Wei case is more important than the disaster."

Su Luo understood: "The emperor is fueling the flames!"

"That's right, not only the emperor is pushing, but all of us are pushing each other. Only by pushing in this way can the treacherous people hidden under the waves come up!"

Originally, he was always passive. After Chang Wei’s case, because the clues were exposed too suddenly, he took a long time to figure it out. Now it’s time to act. When Han Mo said the end, his tone was involuntarily Slow down.It's time to get rid of the cancer that has been growing under the calm surface of Daliang for so long!

Su Luo pondered: "It turns out that the mechanism you want is for use on this. If so, I'll add something else! Zhupao hides so deeply, it shows his cunning, we have to increase our chances of winning. This Once, no matter what, you must never return without success!" At this point, she said loudly: "——carry the box in!"

……

The night fell heavily on the earth, and the warm wind was blowing into the tent.

In the hot summer of the capital, there is no ice basin to keep it all the time, so it is so difficult.

Chang He tossed and turned on the bed in his middle clothes, feeling restless.

For a moment he turned over and sat up again, and landed on the ground with bare feet.

There is moonlight tonight, but the courtyard is very quiet.The sound of horseshoes and cart wheels can be heard vaguely from the street in the distance, but it seems to be separated by hundreds of thousands of miles from this house.

He didn't go out for the past few days. After meeting Yang Xie, the conflict seemed to be a thing of the past.Yang Xie often called him to drink tea and chat, and often invited him to have dinner with him.It seems that after that confession, the affection between them has become deeper.

But Chang He knew very clearly in his heart what his purpose in doing all this was!It's revenge!

He resentfully pushed the half-opened window to the widest position, intending to use the evening breeze to burn out the boredom.

But at the moment when he pushed the window, he suddenly heard the sound of a carriage driving in. After listening carefully, he looked at the servants on duty in the corridor through the window: "Whose carriage is it?"
