Great Blue Night Watchman

Prince Ping's Mansion is solemn and solemn.

Compared with before, there is a bit more new atmosphere.

To put it bluntly, the emergence of the new atmosphere is not surprising at all. It is just that the palace has become clean and tidy. Several large trees in the front and back yards have been renovated by experts, the courtyard walls have been repainted, and a few unobstructed rooms have been demolished on the streets outside. Just a shabby house to watch.

It is normal for a royal palace to undergo renovations every few years.

However, in the eyes of outsiders, Prince Ping's Mansion is completely different.

In particular, a rumor circulating among the people made this change extremely grand. Everyone said that Prince Ping was about to take over the East Palace, the old residence of Emperor Ziqi Fuze...

These words have an effect.

The function is to allow those wavering officials to quickly understand the direction.

The number of visitors to Prince Ping's Mansion is also increasing day by day, and the level of officials coming is getting higher and higher. So far, at least 80% of the officials coming are second-grade and below.

Everything is moving in the established direction.

The third prince sat under the grape trellis in the garden, stroking the demon grapes that were already crystal clear, but the color was still less than three-quarters of the heat. He felt very satisfied in his heart.

Brother Prince, did you ever expect that this would be the result?

When my father came to the throne, you and I started fighting.

How many tricks have you played in eight years?

Finally, the dust has settled, I won, I will be on the 9th Five-Year Plan, and you will rest in peace!

Your Highness, when this year's grapes mature, they can probably be sent to the East Palace. Du Qing next to him smiled.

It only takes a month at most for the grapes to mature. What Du Qing means is that within one month, the overall situation can be decided?

The third prince smiled and said: It doesn't matter where the grapes are sent, what matters is you. How can I repay you for your hard work over the years?

He is where he is today because of Du Qing's help.

Every time he had a fight with the prince, Du Qing was the one who came up with ideas from behind, allowing him to do it with ease.

He failed and left Beijing sadly, but it was Du Qing who gave him confidence and comfort. Now that his wish has come true, he wants to ask Du Qing what he wants.

Du Qing is difficult to arrange.

Ordinarily, it would be more appropriate to give him an official position such as Prince Commander, Prince Commander, etc. However, Du Qing did not have a literary degree, and these official positions all required a literary degree, so he felt a little embarrassed.

Du Qing smiled and said: Du Qing can assist a wise king to ascend the throne in this life. His wish is fulfilled. Your Highness has this intention, and Qing is grateful. How about His Highness give Qing a decree when the time comes, and choose a place to build a pavilion?

The third prince laughed loudly: What's so difficult about this? Let alone building one pavilion, so what if there are ten pavilions and hundreds of pavilions? What's the name of your pavilion?

Qing Ben Buyi, this pavilion is the 'Buyi Pavilion'!

Haha, that's right!

Thank you... Your Highness for your kindness! Du Qing almost said thank you for your kindness, but quickly changed his words.

The two of them smiled at each other, feeling very happy...

The third prince stopped laughing: Did you know that someone came to Beijing last night!

Qing already knows that Lin Su came to the capital yesterday and was accompanied by a woman in black. This girl is his concubine An Ye. She followed him to the capital during the palace examination two years ago. At that time, her cultivation level was to peek into the sky. In actual combat, Li Qiukong is invincible within the territory, and if nothing unexpected happens now, he should be able to peep into the sky.

The third prince only said, Someone has come to the capital. Du Qing immediately knew who he was referring to. He not only reported Lin Su's name, but also reported the details of the cultivation base of the people around Lin Su. These two people The years of tacit understanding are also the result of Du Qing's exquisiteness.

Yes, you are still as meticulous as ever! The third prince said, Did you know that he stayed at the Zhou Mansion yesterday?

I know! Zhou Zhang was busy working on Deng Hongbo's affairs at that time. He stayed in Zhou's mansion last night. Zhou Zhang will definitely ask him for advice. Yi Qing thinks that this boy will set off a frenzy to rescue Deng Hongbo in the capital these days. Du Qing said. .

Haha... The third prince looked up and laughed: Qin Fangweng was robbed by him when he came out of the dungeon, and Ding Jiye was robbed by him when he came out of the dungeon. But things are quite different today. The situation he faces is that he is the one who saved the dungeon. , do you think he can succeed?

Du Qing smiled and said: It's easy to kill people, but it's hard to save people. Kill one point and defend another area. They are not the same.

He didn't say it clearly, but the third prince clearly understood...

Killing someone is completely different from saving someone.

Killing only requires one breakthrough and it's done.

To save people, you need to defend in every aspect, leaving no breakthrough point for the opponent.

The difficulty factor can be said to be several times higher.

When Lin Su was attacking, none of the people who were released from Tianlao survived.

Now it was changed, and the third prince was the main attacker. He wanted to see how Lin Su could defend against the general situation.

At this moment, a report came from outside: Your Majesty, five adults, Lin Su, Zhang Haoran, Qiu Mochi, Huo Qi, and Li Yangxin, have come together to ask to see the Prince!

The third prince and Du Qing were shocked at the same time.

Du Qing said: Do you want to talk about it?

I didn't mention my purpose of coming, I just asked for a meeting, and I asked for help from a great scholar...

There are many kinds of greetings in this era...

There are personal stickers, official stickers, and scholar stickers...

There are also different treatments for worshiping...

If you come to visit with an official post, the host can refuse. As long as you give an answer, go to the Yamen to talk about something, then refuse. There is no disrespect at all, and it even shows a faint sense of integrity.

You can use the invitation to visit, or you can refuse. If you ignore family ties for something in the early stage, it is normal for people not to give you face.

However, the great Confucian scholar cannot refuse.

Especially the prince who is about to take over the East Palace cannot refuse.

In this world, literature and ethics are respected.

No matter how impatient the great scholar is when he comes to visit you, you have to receive him. Otherwise, the great scholar only needs to objectively write an article about the situation and spread it out. You, the would-be prince, do not pay attention to literary ethics and do not respect literary ethics. The crime of not respecting literary ethics will be established.

Therefore, today, five great scholars from Lin Su came to visit together. Although the third prince did not want to receive them, they could only do so.

Five great scholars have been invited to the Lixian Pavilion. I will arrive shortly after I change my clothes.

There is nothing wrong with this etiquette.

Lixian Pavilion is found in every wealthy family.

Of course, the word virtuous varies from person to person.

In the eyes of ordinary people, a virtuous person only needs to read a few sentences and recognize a few words.

In the eyes of wealthy families, virtue is considered to be the most talented person.

The virtuous in the eyes of the prince are only great scholars.

Lin Su and other five great sages, who lived up to their names, stepped on the newly renovated flower path and walked all the way. Every ten or so steps on both sides, two family members would bow. When they arrived in front of the Lixian Pavilion, the two guard leaders bowed. Welcoming each other, in the Lixian Pavilion, two beautiful maids greeted them and welcomed them into the pavilion.

Today is the end of April.

The beauty of April in the human world is written into poetry. There are few flowers in the world. However, in the Prince Ping's Mansion of the third prince, this rule has been broken to a certain extent. At least outside the Lixian Pavilion, flowers are in full bloom.

This flower is quite unique.

Growing on vines, the vines have no leaves, and the purple trumpet-shaped flowers bloom in the wind. The flowers are slender and weak, but they bloom on the bare vines, but they look unique.

A delicate fragrance spreads, and you feel drunk when you smell it.

Huo Qi, Li Yangxin and others looked around and were fascinated by the structure of Prince Ping's Mansion.

Huo Qi's Huo family is a millennium-old family in Youzhou, almost the same age as the Da Cang Dynasty.

Li Yangxin is from Lanzhou. Mentioning the Li family in Lanzhou has the same shocking effect as mentioning the Huo family in Youzhou. The sons of these two aristocratic families have seen the world and have considerable experience in the structure of courtyards, but they are still attracted by Prince Ping's palace. Deeply impressed by the structure.

Every pavilion, every courtyard, every rockery is full of originality.

Even every tree and every ridge of flowers has its own particularity.

For example, the Lixian Pavilion is astonishingly detailed. In the east is crape myrtle, which symbolizes the purple energy coming from the east. In the north is a lake, which symbolizes peace of mind. In the west is a Guitang. Guitang is named after the bright moon, and the bright moon rises. At that time, he appeared from behind Guitang...

Lin Su is sitting on the left.

Zhang Haoran is on the right.

In other words, Zhang Haoran and Lin Su were face to face. There was a strange light in Zhang Haoran's eyes, and Wen Dao's voice quietly penetrated into Lin Su's ears: Look back!

Lin Su didn't look back, and a voice came back: What are you looking at?

flower!

I've already seen it!

Then take a good smell of the floral fragrance. Do you have any impression?

There was a smile in Lin Su's eyes. He understood what Zhang Haoran meant. In fact, he had already noticed it...

The flower that has just bloomed in Lixian Pavilion this season was transplanted by the demon clan, and its name is Manluo. The floral fragrance of Manluo is ethereal and distant, and is highly recognizable. This floral fragrance reminded them of something.

That day, they met the third prince by chance at Zui Guest House.

There are two top-level guest rooms in Zui Keju, one is occupied by them and the other is occupied by the third prince.

They had just finished the banquet and when they opened the door, the third prince happened to open the door at this time, and the two parties bumped into each other.

There was no other person in the third prince's room, leaving only a unique fragrance.

Afterwards, Zhang Haoran and Lin Su analyzed who left the scent in the third prince's room.

This person is obviously the leader of a certain Jianghu force standing behind the third prince.

At that time, their literary status was still low, their knowledge was not broad, and they could not analyze anything.

However, this unique fragrance was still remembered by Zhang Haoran.

Now, as soon as he smelled the fragrance of Manluo outside Lixian Pavilion, the memory that had been sealed in Zhang Haoran's brain was immediately awakened. This fragrance of Manluo was the same fragrance that day...

Two years later, Zhang Haoran's memory and sensitivity were astonishing.

However, for this great discovery that he thought he had decrypted, Lin Suyun was calm and nodded gently to indicate that he would be done with it.

Zhang Haoran deciphered the problems that troubled them that day as soon as they entered Prince Ping's Mansion, and he admired himself half to death.

However, he never expected that Lin Su would have troubles in his heart...

The same flower, the same fragrance of that day, but what Lin Su decoded in his mind were completely different things...

He clearly knows...

The fragrance of the drunken guest that day was not the fragrance of flowers, but more like the natural body fragrance of the human body.

Today's Manluo fragrance is nothing short of a natural floral fragrance.

No matter how similar the two are, they are not the same thing.

This thing seems to be a coincidence.

However, Lin Su also knew that there were not so many coincidences in the world.

Many coincidences are deliberate.

For example, these two fragrances are particularly interesting...
