Your Majesty, don't spoil me too much, my daughter and I will discuss business with you

The moonlight is cunning, and beauties drink together.

"Zhuyue, bring the wine!" Lian Lixi said.

Zhuyue in the corner had already prepared a stove, wine and food, and asked people to put the things in the courtyard, and then brought two cloaks and coats of fine material to put on the two of them.

Lian Lixi fiddled with the charcoal fire while Ruozhi placed the wine and peanuts on the charcoal grill.

"Did you see blood today?"

"Ah."

Lian Lixi patted the other party's shoulder to express comfort.

"Those people deserve to die. This continent, this Dacang, is rotten from the inside out, from top to bottom."

The charcoal fire that Lian Lixi fiddled with became even more intense.

"Lixi, don't get angry. This is how the world is. If the world is full of righteousness, there is no need for you and me to have a hard time. All we can do is do our best. Come, the wine is ready and warm."

The two clinked glasses and drank together until dawn, when Lian Lixi and Ruozhi went to the morning court one after the other.

Chaotang

"Your Majesty, the recent rampage of foreign races in the city has had a great impact on the public security of Shangjing. I suggest that you order an order to prevent these barbarians from moving freely in Shangjing to prevent future troubles." Lin Rufu said.

"Why does this small southern barbarian country move around the capital so frequently?" Lian Lixi asked pretendingly.

Huairan took the opportunity to come out and explain: "Back to Your Majesty, I heard that Wanfengdi, which was hailed as holy water by the Nanman tribe, was recently auctioned in the capital. The only daughter of the barbarian leader was suffering from malaria and needed this water to relieve his urgent needs. Therefore, he ordered it many times. People come here to ask for medicine."

"Your Majesty, if that's the case, why don't the imperial court come forward and buy the water to the Xing clan, and then order their clansmen to only walk on the designated streets of the post station, and are not allowed to walk around the city at will without a traffic order." Ruozhi said.

Lin Rufu: "The emperor's suggestion is feasible. It will solve the problem of fighting against the clan and ensure order in the city."

Lian Lixi said: "Just follow what the husband and wife say!"

Everyone: "Yes!"

After leaving the court, Miao Qing and the Emperor's Palace carriage were waiting at the door. He only glanced at the shadow of Huai Ran walking into Li Qing again.

Li Qing went to court on the first day today. Although it was not enough to enter the inner hall to attend court, he could still learn a thing or two outside.

Seeing this, Ruozhi walked over and wanted to say a few words to Li Qing, but the other party seemed to do this on purpose. He didn't even look at Ruozhi and hurried towards the office. When leaving, Qian Qian and Huai Ran said: "I just started working, and there are still a lot of chores in the household department. Let's wait another day!"

Huairan was not angry at the other party's attitude, and looked away as if he was very respectful.

"Master Huai, you are so courageous. Brother Li fought hard against you last time, but now he still sticks to you like a normal person."

"The Imperial Master praises me greatly. Compared with your courage, I can't compare with you. I heard that Feng Ming in the middle palace, but the Imperial Master still works for His Majesty respectfully. I really admire you."

Huairan looked like he was deliberately irritating the other party. Ruozhi never expected that when he first came to court, this Confucian scholar who gave him a good first impression would have such an expression. He felt a little sad in his heart. Sure enough, a person cannot be judged by his appearance. He is really a villain. It's not scary. What's scary is that these people who regard themselves as upright officials but have the opposite intentions. The world is declining, which is really melancholy.

"Lord Huai, remember that you never expressed your position to me again. I am the Imperial Master of Dacang, for no other reason. All the things I do are just to fulfill my conscience and the people. I hope you will not do it because of your bloodline." and background, forget the original intention of studying, and use your talents to serve the people wholeheartedly, which is a great achievement. Otherwise, your path will be like duckweed in this vat, helpless and ultimately leading to nothingness."

Huairan saluted: "The official has written down the emperor's teacher's teachings."

After saying that, Ruozhi returned to the sedan chair and Miao Qing ordered the carriage to drive.

The man who lowered his head and stood up held up his sleeves. His expression was not as flattering and weak as before. He looked at the noon sun, which made him unable to open his eyes. He walked towards the darkness by the wall and looked at the disappearing luxury. carriage.

"Husband Ronghua, you talk about patriotism and loving the people every day. There will be a long time to come. I would like to see how you protect the justice and original intention in your words." Mr. Huai Mansion

As soon as Huai Ran returned home, he heard someone coming to report.

"Sir, the old lady just went on a hunger strike again and said she wanted to go back to Xia Kingdom."

Huairan's eyes showed helplessness, and he hurriedly changed out of his official uniform and walked to the backyard.

Inside the Westinghouse

A middle-aged woman with elegant makeup, her face was pale, and she was sitting on the couch. The maid beside her was carrying various kinds of food, and she didn't move at all.

"My lord." The maids saluted.

When the woman saw that it was her son who was coming, her eyes lit up, and she grabbed Huai Ran's clothes with a cry.

"Ran'er, my mother has been here in Dacang for more than many years, and she really misses the country of Xia. Can you think of a way to let her go back to the country for half a month to relieve my homesickness?"

Huairan originally came here to reprimand his mother for her frequent farce, but seeing the woman so upset, he swallowed the reprimand he was about to say, and just asked the maid to bring the food and held the spoon himself.

"Mother, I heard from my servants that you haven't eaten for two days and how can you survive? Here comes my son to serve you with soup. This soup was obtained from the cook of the Xia Kingdom after my son had been begging for a long time. It is better than what you eat in your hometown in the Xia Kingdom. It’s more authentic.”

Huairan said and handed over the soup.

When the woman heard the other party's attitude, she curled her lips and knocked the soup to the ground with a wave of her hand. The soup spread over most of Huairan's body.

"Ran'er, I just want to go home, I want to go home, because my mother doesn't like it here!"

"Mother, I have told you many times. I am now an official in Dacang. Bringing you here is a last resort. My son cannot be the master. Can you please stop making trouble?" Huairan tried to suppress his anger. mood.

"Okay, am I making a fuss? I actually raised your son in vain. Not only does it not bring any glory to me, but it drags me away from my homeland. You..."

The woman was bursting into tears at this moment.

When Huai Ran heard this, he could no longer conceal the strangeness in his eyes: "Can you please stop forcing me? I have been studying poetry and books for more than ten years just to practice the way of a gentleman. I could have been a good person, but with Use your own talents to become a good official who asks for orders for the people. It is you and your identity that make Emperor Dacang doubt me so much. It is you who prevent me from being a good person. Your son has become the person I once most despised. You are a bad person. Every day, every day, your son is in torment to survive, how else do you want to punish me?"

Huairan was hysterical and walked away. The woman was left alone to mourn.

"Son! You!"

Huairan walked on the busy street, watching the shouts of merchants, the play of children, and the busyness of pedestrians, as if he was the only one isolated from the world and could not touch it.

A heavy rain came one after another, and pedestrians on the street took shelter from the rain. Only Huai Ran was walking lifelessly on the street.

The child who was taking shelter from the rain under the eaves said: "Mom, look at this person, it's so strange. He doesn't even know how to get out of the way when the rain comes."

"Who knows, maybe he is a fool!"

The rain soaked the man's clothes and body, and Ruozhi looked on indifferently by the window on the second floor of Zuixian Building.

Huairan looked at the heavy rain, knelt down and shouted: God, you are so cruel, why do you treat me like this.

The man fell helplessly to the ground, letting the rain beat violently.
