Chasing King

After a heavy rain, the weather suddenly cooled down.

On the street in the late night, the wind blows fiercely and sweeps by. The flying dust makes people unable to open their eyes and chill. Pedestrians on the road are rare. Even the guards who patrol the street tighten their collars, shrink their necks and look in a hurry.

In the street, a man wrapped in a cape, walked against the wind, and walked slowly. He was dressed in black and had black hair. In the dark, he was like a lonely shadow.

When he came to a pawnshop that had already closed, he looked around and there was no one. He gently buttoned the door twice, and then paused, again and again, and then again.

Soon the door was opened and the man flashed into the room.

"Please go to the inner room, my Lord." The man who opened the door said.

After entering the room, a man was lying lazily on the lady's chair, throwing grapes into his mouth one by one. The candle in the room was dim and he couldn't see clearly.

"Oh." In front of his eyes, the man sneered, "Lord Yan went down to my humble house in person. The grass people were scared."

Yan Sikong found a stool and sat down: "she Zhun, I'm here to talk to you about business today."

"When did you come to me?" The man named she Zhun said with a smile, "at the beginning, but you said that if there is no need, you and I should not meet."

"I have become an official in the court. I may have eyes staring at me all the time. Naturally, I should be cautious."

She Zhun shrugged: "you didn't send your ugly servant here today. It seems that it's not only a matter of business, but also a matter of great importance."

"Not bad." Don't trust me to do a serious thing for you

"Oh?" She Zhun raised her eyebrows, put down her long legs, and sat up with her. Under the light of the candle, she could see a handsome and cynical face

"I asked you to check Ting LAN Ge Huakui last time, remember?"

"Night away, naturally remember." She definitely touched her chin, "tut Tut, that little lady is so beautiful."

"I have given her many gifts anonymously. Now I need you to get close to her. No matter what method you use and how much money you spend, you can become her frequent guest."

"Wow, there are other good things." She Zhun said with a smile, "in what capacity?"

"The people of the river and the lake, the disciples of the king of Chu."

"Purpose."

"Inadvertently revealed to her..." Yan Si's eyes were full of brilliance. "For many years, the king of Liang raised soldiers, raised grain and accumulated silver, and recruited many wise men."

She Zhun narrowed her eyes: "is this real or you made it up? Does the king of Liang want to fight back

"True or false, I went to Jingzhou four years ago and found that the number of guards of the king of Liang was far more than that of the vassal."

She Zhun unconsciously lowered the volume: "that doesn't mean he wants to rebel. Yan Sikong, what do you want to do? "

Yan Sikong said with a faint smile: "do you know who is the current governor of the two lakes?"

“…… Gezhong

"Ge Zhong, as a feudal official, is in charge of the military and political power in the 21 states of the two lakes. The king of Liang is the eldest son of the emperor. He can't succeed to the throne because he's not his own son. The Dragon chair is left to an eight year old child, and it's not his turn to sit on it. Do you think these two people can be antagonistic

She Zhun took a deep breath: "Yan Sikong, you are so brave."

"I don't care whether they want to fight back or not. I help them fight back. Ge Zhong colluded with the eunuch party, gained power and wealth, framed Zhongliang, and the king of Liang was unable to discipline, plundered the people's fat, and bullied the farmland. If these two people were not removed, the people of the two lakes would never have peace. " Yan Si air cold way, "moreover, Ge Zhong is also Xie Zhongren's person."

She Zhun was silent for a long time: "you know what I have. I've given enough silver. I can do anything."

Yan Sikong took out a money bag from his arms and put it on the table. Suddenly it rang, and it was heavy.

She Zhun grinned: "you have money and you can sleep with Huakui. Lord Yan, if you have such a good job next time, please come to me."

Yan Sikong stood up and said, "I'll go first."

"You are quite close to Wang Shizi of Jingyuan recently." She Zhun joked.

Yan Sikong turned his head and said, "how do you know?"

"What I don't know inside and outside the capital?"

"I give you silver, not for you to stare at me."

"I don't mean to stare at you." She zhunpi said with a smile, "why, when it comes to the little wolf king, you're not quite right, and you're still reading about your childhood love?"

“…… Keep me informed of any news. " Yan Sikong left in a whirl.

-

after the Mid Autumn Festival, Feng Ye returned to Jingshan camp. Xu Shi was busy with military affairs, and they had not seen each other for more than a month.

Yan Sikong's life is the same as before. He often goes in and out of Wenyuan Pavilion and East Palace, and sometimes has some social activities. He is very good at winning people's hearts. He came to the capital only two years ago and made many friends. Because of his excellent talent and appearance, he is also a servant of the prince. He is famous among the celebrities in the capital, and many people want to make friends with him.

As a result, more and more people want to mediate for him, but he always insists that the fate of his parents and marital affairs should be decided by his mentor, so that they can go to find Yan Zilian. But after that, there is no following.That day in the East Palace, even Chen can't help but wonder: "Sir, why haven't you married yet?"

"Why does your highness care about this?" Although he didn't want to get married, he was also curious why Yan Zilian didn't marry him so far.

"I'm afraid all the women in the world want to marry you, but you don't have a wife. You don't even have a concubine." Chen Xiaowei narrowed his eyes and said vaguely, "isn't it What a man, sir

Dasheng did not like the previous dynasty, but he did not avoid it. It was not new for the emperor's relatives and dignitaries to have a male pet at home.

Yan Sikong said with a smile: "I'm full of sages. I have Buddhists and Confucians in my heart and great wishes in my heart. I just want to help my highness and your majesty to create a peaceful and prosperous world and establish the cause of serving all the people. What's the point whether I want to marry or not?"

Chen chuckled: "my husband is only twenty-three years old. You should not deceive me when I'm young. If you have a wife and a son, it won't hinder your success."

Yan Sikong said helplessly: "Your Highness said that the lower officer is also curious. My teacher has not engaged me, so I can't help it."

"I'll talk to Mr. Yan."

"No way." Yan Sikong said, "the teacher must have a purpose. Please don't worry about it."

"All right." Chen Bi's eyes turned around and suddenly approached Yan Sikong, with a smile on his childish face. "What's the matter with you How about a man

Yan Sikong leaned back unconsciously: "don't make fun of me, your highness."

Chen Xiao burst out laughing.

-

when I went to Wenyuan pavilion the next day, I saw Yan Zilian and Yan Sikong. Somehow, I suddenly thought of Chen's words.

Why didn't Yan Zilian talk to him? Do you want to choose a taxi family of your own faction to further promote the relationship between them? Marriage is very important in the factional struggle, perhaps because of this reason, Yan Zilian has not found a suitable family.

Moreover, since the case of compiling a new history, Yan Zilian has been indifferent to him sometimes as usual. He does not know whether he is testing himself.

Yan Sikong decided to ask. He didn't like this kind of thing with no bottom in his heart, but he couldn't be the master of his own affairs.

When Yan Zilian saw him coming in, he just looked up and continued to look at the official documents in his hand.

Yan Sikong bows to him: "students have seen teachers."

"Sit down." When Yan Zilian finished this sentence, he buried himself in reading the paper and paid no attention to him.

Yan Sikong was not in a hurry. She sat quietly and waited.

After nearly an hour, Yan Zilian just released the volume and raised his head.

Yan Si arched her hand in a hurry.

"What can I do for you?"

"Students One thing is rather difficult to understand. I'd like to ask the teacher. "

Yan Zilian's eyes flashed a sharp light: "new history?"

"Well, it's not."

"What is that?"

Yan Sikong looks a little shy: "in recent days, more and more people want to say goodbye to me. My parents have already died. The marriage is decided by the teacher."

Yan Zilian sneered: "anxious to marry a daughter-in-law?"

"No, if the students are in a hurry to get married, they will be at the age of 16 or 17. The students are just curious about why the teacher turns away the matchmaker."

"To tell you the truth, you can't get married for two years."

Yan Sikong raised his eyebrows in surprise: "this The students don't understand. " Hearing this, Yan Si suddenly relaxed. If they really get married, Fengye doesn't know how to make trouble But it's human nature to get married and have children. Sooner or later, Fengye will have to start a family, but it's better if you don't have to worry about it in the past two years.

"If you want to know why, you need to answer me a question truthfully." Yan Zilian's hot eyes were fixed on Yan Sikong.

Yan Sikong unconsciously sat up straight. He suddenly realized that Yan Zilian had been waiting for him to come to his home, not for the sake of marriage, but for something else

"Excuse me, teacher."

Yan Zilian suddenly turns out a book from the stack and throws it to Yan Sikong.

Yan Sikong took a look at the manuscript of the ninth volume of the new history: "this..."

"Shen Hexuan came to see me the other day." Yan Zilian said, "it seems quite strange to say what went wrong, which makes him have doubts."

Yan Sikong had expected that Shen Hexuan, a stubborn donkey, could not tolerate sand in his eyes. He had doubts in his heart, so he had to find out, but he didn't expect to go to Yan Zilian directly. Although he was a little nervous, he seemed very calm. "In fact, brother Shen told me before, and I also felt that the mistake was unusual. I can't say what was wrong."

Yan Zilian narrowed his eyes: "do you think it's strange, too?"

Yan Sikong nodded: "what did the teacher see?"

"I scolded the crane Xuan to return, this matter has already turned over a chapter, tell him not to be suspicious again." Yan Zilian said in a deep voice, "but I think his suspicion is right.""He What do you suspect? " Yan Sikong asked carefully.

Yan Zilian hesitated: "he suspected that the word" Zhao "was added later."

Yan Sikong was shocked: "this..." He busily opened the manuscript and carefully looked at the reversed word, "this..."

Yan Zilian carefully observed Yan Sikong's reaction and did not speak for a moment.

Yan Sikong suddenly raised his head and his face sank down: "teacher, are you doubting me?"

The sword came too straight and fierce, but Yan Zilian was stunned. He said: "if this word is really added later, everyone in Wenyuan Pavilion is suspected, and naturally you who are involved in the case are the most suspected."

Yan Sikong stood up and knelt down respectfully: "the students failed to check for mistakes and omissions. It's a great dereliction of duty. Thanks to the teacher and several adults, your majesty just punished them. The student, a small Hanlin, studied hard for more than ten years before he was able to serve the teacher. He did not dare to make fun of his future life and royal dignity, teacher It really scares the students. "

Yan Zilian's face softened and his tone became gentle: "Sikong, get up quickly. I just want to investigate this matter secretly, but I don't really doubt you. Besides, no one knows whether the word is added after it. Even Liu Zhaolin himself can't remember what he wrote. "

Yan Sikong wiped the sweat on his forehead, and then he stood up, but he looked a little scared.

Yan Zilian again raised his face: "I have always disagreed with Wang Shengsheng. It was a great pleasure for him to be demoted. However, I will never allow anyone to cheat me under my nose. I have been in the world for more than 40 years, and I don't like the word "ignorance". Once I don't know, everything is easy to be out of control. If it leads to a catastrophe, it may involve many things, and the consequences are unpredictable. Do you know? "

"Students understand."

Yan Zilian nodded: "your marriage." He stroked his beard and said, "Sikong, you are the talent of Wang Zuo. You are the younger generation that I value most. In time, you will surely visit me in the pavilion. But you are from a poor family. You have a weak foundation. You are an old teacher. One day I will be gone. Your career will be rough. Therefore, you need a strong family. "

Yan Sikong looks at Yan Zilian in a dazed way.

Yan Zilian said with a smile: "so, I declined all the marriage for you, waiting for a princess to grow up."
