prince's rivers and lakes

Chapter 26
As night fell, Wang Xie's room facing the river on the second floor of Fengyue Building was occupied all year round.

Standing on the terrace, you can overlook the snow-capped mountains, lying across like a dormant dragon, and the star river above it is like the end of the world.

Fang Zhishan, the eldest son of the prime minister's mansion, stood with his hands tied:

"It is said that in ancient times, a dragon came through the sky, and its blood flowed for thirty thousand miles. It was exhausted and fell into a deep sleep. Countless years later, the Kunlun Mountains were formed, nourishing the Kyushu of the world, and especially making Longyin City the world's No. A first-class prosperous place, living here, people's life expectancy is far longer than other places."

Behind Fang Zhishan stood Rong Qingshu, a son of the Rong family, also gazing at the beautiful scenery:
"Dragon Yin Stone is a specialty in the Kunlun Mountains. The imperial city built with a large number of these stones will sound a warning sound when it feels the blood of the great master warrior. This city is named Dragon Yin City."

He was a little thin and frail, but with big eyes and fair skin, he looked younger.

People often think that he is only sixteen or seventeen years old, but in reality he is already over the age of [-], a few years older than Fang Zhishan.

"It is true that there will be a dragon chanting warning when the great master enters the city. However, the dragon coming through the sky... is a strange thing. The world likes to spread rumors. Maybe it was just a big snake that came and went, so it was said to be like this." Rong Rong Qing Shu sneered, and continued.

Fang Zhishan turned his head and glanced at Rong Qingshu, the children of the Rong family have always been arrogant, a family of three males, powerful and powerful.

Today's Empress Dowager and Empress Dowager are all from the Rong family, and their former officials are all over the government and the public. There is even a saying in the market that the Rong family and the Qin family rule the world together.

Fang Duwei, the prime minister of the court, even made friends with the Rong family... It can be said that without the support of the Rong family, even if Fang Duwei barely took the position of prime minister, if he wanted to exercise the power of prime minister, he would be able to succeed in the court. The implementation of the decree is also difficult.

"At least it is true that it is livable and healthy. The other courtyard of the Duke's Mansion is also built in the Kunlun Mountains. Is this true?"

After Fang Zhishan finished speaking, his eyes were fixed, showing some envy:
"It is said that the other courtyard is close to Jingjing Zhaojian Nunnery. Standing on the high pavilion, you can see the masters doing morning classes, practicing kung fu and instructing the female officials in the palace to practice."

"That's true." Rong Qingshu was a little smug, in fact he had never read it, even if the other courtyard was close to Jingjing Zhaojian Nunnery, who would dare to risk the wrath of the Queen Mother to do such a thing?

Stealing incense and jade is not even counted, and there is no trace of meat, but it is very likely to be punished by the palace, and will be hated by the queen mother ever since, so the gain outweighs the loss.

"It's just that during this time, even if you are in the other courtyard, you can't see the teacher... The empress dowager is recuperating in the nunnery, and the teachers and teachers accompany her around and never leave for a moment."

Rong Qingshu pointed to the young officials who were drinking and eating with the girls in the room, "The Jian Yuan today's rumored remonstrance chapter was sent to the nunnery by the Longyin Guard."

Fang Zhishan knew that Rong Qingshu was entertaining a few young officials from the Jian Yuan today, and he came to accompany him just because he couldn't save face and let it go through the motions.

Rong Qingshu invited him here, naturally because if these young officials want to make progress, it is always right to make friends with the prime minister's son.

The Rong family really... wanted to reach into the remonstrance court again, Fang Zhishan's smile remained unchanged, and he asked casually: "Then today's rumored remonstrance chapter was submitted by our Sima Suiyi and colleagues? "

Sensing Fang Zhishan's intent to inquire, Rong Qingshu didn't hide it, and snorted coldly, "The one who remonstrated was the lawless son of Prince Langya. Relying on his status as the son, he was so defiant that he killed him on the first day he returned to the mansion." Tang Zhong, the chief steward of the palace, even broke into the capital today and took away more than ten prisoners."

"What!" Fang Zhishan seemed to have heard it just now, loosened his palm, and almost dropped the wine glass, and said in disbelief:

"I knew about the return of Prince Langya's son to the capital. I haven't seen him for eight years, but he is so arrogant and domineering? Sima Shiyi and you all speak out outright, I'm afraid it will offend the son."

Picking up relics, the function of admonishing the court, although the rank is low, but the scope of authority is very wide, and it can directly reach the audience. It is a force that all parties in the court are willing to win over.

"It is precisely because of this that I entertained Sima Shiyi in Wang Xie Fengyue Building, and invited you to accompany me... No matter how much the son of Prince Langya wants to take revenge, he should be more cautious."

Rong Qingshu bluntly stated his intentions, reached out and patted Fang Zhishan on the shoulder, laughing loudly.

"You, you... you're plotting against me again."

With a helpless wry smile on Fang Zhishan's face, he returned to the wine table and filled his glass:

"Sima Supplements, and everyone upholding the righteousness of the three remonstrances, made Fang admirable. Let's have a glass of thin wine and talk about respect."

"Don't dare!" Sima Suiyi's name was Sima Xi, and today was the first time he worked for Rong Qingshu, and he was toasted by the prime minister's son.

The other young Jianyuan pickers were also filled with enthusiasm, and quickly stood up and drank the wine in their cups.

"Sima picked up relics, but he was from the Sima family in Qingzhou?"

"Exactly..."

"Jia Yan once served in Qingzhou, and praised: Sima's high family status, Qingzhou's new Hanlin..."

"I am over-flattered--"

Fang Zhishan immediately chatted with everyone at the wine table, and slowly realized that Rong Qingshu came here to vent his anger on his uncle who is the prefect of Kyoto.

Secondly, Tang Zhong was in charge of some businesses of the palace, and had some contacts. Tang Zhong helped Rong Qingshu bring in some good things from overseas.

Now that Tang Zhong is dead, it is impossible for Rong Qingshu to go to the Wangfu to ask for it again... The deal was originally done behind the back of the Wangfu.

Fang Zhishan could see clearly that when King Langya had just passed away, it was impossible for the Queen Mother to do anything to Qin Shouan. Such rumors and admonitions would at best disgust Qin Shouan.

"Brother Rong, how do you think the queen mother will deal with Prince Langya's son?"

After the banquet was over, watching the girl help Sima Xi to the guest room on the fourth floor, Fang Zhishan yawned and asked while rubbing his sore waist.

"A reprimand is indispensable, but that's all. Then Qin Shouan will have to keep his tail between his legs for a while..." Rong Qingshu stopped talking, and smiled, "Let's go, let's drink more."

"I can't do it anymore. If I drink any more, I have to lie down. If there is a little delay, that vinegar jar in my family will kill me. Maybe it will hurt the fish pond and beat you up..."

Rong Qingshu smiled and Fang Zhishan was afraid of guilt, but thinking about how dare the shrew in his family dare to attack, he would lose face... So he didn't dare to keep Fang Zhishan, who was wobbly and not very drunk. sent to the carriage.

Sitting in the carriage, smelling the smoke of Yueshi's incense, Fang Zhishan sat up straight, opened his half-closed eyes, his expression was clear, and he was not at all drunk.

In the tenth year when the Empress Dowager listened to the government behind a curtain, she established the Court of Remonstrance, with the functions of admonishing the doctor, admonishing, correct words and picking up relics.

The remonstrance court is mainly aimed at the various words and deeds of the royal relatives, nobles and powerful officials outside the court.

This is completely different from the Yushitai under the jurisdiction of the prime minister. The Yushitai is mainly aimed at the appointment of officials, the affairs of various departments of the imperial court, Kyoto and local government affairs.

Originally, the Court of Remonstrance was only responsible to His Majesty the Emperor and the Empress Dowager. After these years passed, it was inevitable that some people would be inserted by various parties.

On the contrary, because Fang Duwei has already ruled Yushitai, in order to avoid making people feel that the prime minister is overshadowing public opinion and matters, he has nothing to do with the Jianyuan.

Rong Qingshu used the power of admonishing the court to urge the queen mother to admonish Qin Shouan, which would make the son's future behavior restraint, which was not wise in Fang Zhishan's view.

If Mr. Fang came to operate, he would definitely cater to Qin Shouan and secretly guide Qin Shouan to be more unscrupulous. Then sooner or later, he would cause a catastrophe.

However, Fang Zhishan and Qin Shouan had no enmity. In his eyes, Rong Qingshu was narrow-minded and lacked in energy, shrewd and good at calculating, but his courage and mood were not high-quality.

In comparison, this Prince Langya, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, was a bit incomprehensible since he was a child, and his seemingly reckless nonsense was often just testing at the edge of some insurmountable bottom lines, stretching his legs to tease him, and then Shrunk back, making it difficult for people to attack.

Naturally, he is more calm now. When we meet each other in the early morning, I only feel that Prince Langya is like a man in a fairy. His charm and posture make people bow down and offer flowers to him. How can Rong Qingshu compare with him?
No matter what, it was impossible for Fang Zhishan to really participate in certain actions against Qin Shouan because of his friendship with Rong Qingshu.

Back at the Prime Minister's Mansion, Mr. Fang, who was in the period of observation, performance, and repentance, first paid his respects to his young mistress honestly, was scolded and kicked, and then went to find his younger sister, Fang Zhimei.

Fang Zhimei was painting in the study. Hearing the elder brother's shout, he quickly hid the painting on the table, and asked with a smile, "Brother, it's so late, what's the matter?"

"It's nothing... I had a drink with someone tonight, and we talked about Prince Langya. I remember he used to come and play when he was young, but it's been a long time since I've seen him..." Fang Zhishan walked into the study, glanced at the long table, and made a call. Jiu Hiccup said.

"Yeah, what did you talk about?" Qin Shouan has been back for so long, but Fang Zhimei has never seen him.

On the contrary, I heard from some maids in the Prime Minister's Mansion that the prince can make people's legs crisp just by glancing at them, and they just want to bend down and press the knees that are close together.

"Oh, it's nothing, just drink some wine with Rong Qingshu... Is he here to invite you to some poetry and painting gathering? I think he is a toad who wants to eat swan meat..."

Fang Zhishan snorted coldly, he only hoped that there would be a brother-in-law who could completely suppress his younger sister and would beat him up every day, who could share the same illness with Fang Zhishan, that would be great.

"Brother, don't mention this person to me... Tell me, what did you guys talk about about your son?" As the prime minister's daughter, Fang Zhimei has her own confidence, but she is not worried that Rong Qingshu can take advantage of the Rong family's power. accomplish this marriage.

"belch--"

Fang Zhimei pressed his brother's shoulders to make him sit down, and poured peach blossom dew for him to drink.

"Today, the prince killed another man..."

"Ah! He's not hurt?"

"Ok?"
