Song Menghua: At the beginning, ask to marry Sheng Minglan

this day.

Zhao Zhen stood behind the imperial case in the Palace of Qinzheng.

He leaned forward, put his hands on the imperial case, looked at the dazzling sunlight outside the hall, and fell into a long thought.

Chapter 156 The answer is revealed, Zhao Zhen is wary

A poem by Lu You is the best way to describe July Day.

"The scales of ten thousand tiles are like a fire dragon, and the sweat will melt when the car does not move every day."

"There is no reason for the feathers and the atmosphere to escape, and I sit in the steaming pot."

In this kind of weather, let alone going out, even if ordinary people sit at home, they feel like they are sitting in a steamer.

But having said that, at any time, the privileged class always have various methods to make themselves live well and comfortably.

For example at this time.

At the door of the old lady of the Sheng family, there is a huge impeller.

The so-called impeller is mentioned in Xijing Miscellaneous Notes——

"Ding Huan, a skilled craftsman in Chang'an, made seven round fans. Most of them are about ten feet in diameter, and they are connected one after another. If one person moves them, the whole hall is shivering."

To put it bluntly, it is similar to a fan, but driven by human power.

Especially with two basins of ice cubes placed in front of the impeller, this is simply the most primitive air conditioner plus fan.

When Qi Heng saw this thing for the first time, he was also amazed.

I don't know whether to lament the extravagance of eunuchs and dignitaries, or the amazing wisdom of skilled craftsmen in this era.

in the room.

Sheng Hong, who had just returned from the Jianyuan, was talking about the bloody storm in the morning in an excited and panicked tone.

"It's too tragic!"

"In this East Mansion dispute, so far, not only seven or eight officials under the six departments have been demoted."

"Even the Court of Remonstrance has five people being impeached one after another!"

"And it's even scarier."

"The situation is so out of control, there is still no sign of restraint!"

"It's not yet known how many people will be impeached."

"Many of my colleagues in the Court of Admonitions...are prepared for the worst of exile."

Since Qi Heng said it, there is no need for him to do anything.

Sheng Hong followed his usual officialdom rules and went with the flow.

That is to say, under the leadership of Yu Shi Zhongcheng Qi Mu, Sheng Hong was also a part of the Yu Shi who wrote to impeach Fu Bi and Wen Yanbo in 05.

It was obvious that he was afraid.

Seeing the colleagues around them leave the capital one by one, whether it is Fu Bi's side or Han Qi's side, the officials on both sides have a sense of crisis that everyone is in danger.

This is also the fundamental reason why Sheng Hong immediately came to chat with Qi Heng when he heard that Qi Heng was here.

——He wanted to get a guarantee from Qi Heng.

Originally, Qi Heng didn't plan to talk to him.

He also pretended to ignore the old lady's questioning eyes for Sheng Hong.

But seeing Ming Lan who was holding a small bowl beside him was also looking at him, he couldn't help but make fun of her.

"What are you afraid of?"

"Are you worried about Mr. Shanda?"

"Still worried about yourself?"

Minglan and the others were puzzled.

"What do I have to worry about myself?"

Qi Heng smiled leisurely: "You have."

"You are worried that if the grand master leaves Beijing, you will have to leave Beijing together."

"In this case, you will miss the scientific examination, and you will not be able to marry me after the scientific examination."

Minglan was startled immediately.

These words... It's fine for him to joke with her in private!

Now the grandmother is here, and her father is also there, how can she say that!

She quickly lowered her head to cover up.

But fortunately, she glanced at Sheng Hong and the old lady out of the corner of her eye, and found that they all bowed their heads and were selectively deaf, so she was slightly relieved.

After that, she stared sideways at Qi Heng, biting her lip, looking charming.

At the same time.

Sheng Hong, who lowered his head, suddenly realized.

Yup!

The final exam is getting closer and closer, once Qi Yuanruo is in high school...how could he let Ming girl leave his side?

This means that he is bound to keep the Sheng family.

He breathed a long sigh of relief, and looked at Minglan with excitement and gratitude.

The old lady also figured out this section.

She looked at Qi Heng with complicated eyes, and suddenly felt emotional.

"It's the first time in my life I've heard of such a tragic court struggle with a wide range of entanglements and mutual criticism."

"What's the matter with these gentlemen?"

"Why don't we show any face to each other?"

Qi Heng smiled casually.

"Nothing surprising."

"Even if Fu Bi knew that he was doomed, he would definitely pave the way for Xiao Qinyan and clear the obstacles before stepping down."

"As for Han Qi and Qi Mu, it's easier to understand."

"It's said that there is no turning back when you open the bow. Now that the two of them have made a move, they will never give up if they don't reach their goal."

Naturally, Sheng Hong could understand these principles, so he asked again.

"Yuan Ruo."

"In your opinion, when will this court struggle...will end?"

Qi Heng thought about it.

"almost."

"Right now, Fu Bi and Wen Yanbo are retreating steadily, and Han Qi is victorious in successive battles, and the limelight is second to none."

"When he thinks that there is no suspense for him to take over the East Mansion, that is when he will step down."

"At that time, Xiao Qinyan will act to reorganize the court."

Everything is proceeding step by step according to his plan.

Thinking of the conversation between him and Xiao Qinyan that day in the main hall, Sheng Hong couldn't help feeling his scalp tingle.

I'm afraid that people like Fu Bi and Han Qi won't know in the end that all this was planned secretly by the young man in front of them.

I am afraid that everyone in the court will not know——

Behind such a tragic court struggle, there is such a young man hidden!

The old lady was also full of emotions.

This Qi Yuanruo... is too scary.

She had never seen such a powerful person in her life.

As for Minglan.

She didn't think about anything, nor would she.

Just taking advantage of the time when the old lady and Sheng Hong stopped talking, she shallowly dug a spoonful of honey smoothie and fed it to Qi Heng's mouth.

Hot summer.

The few of them were so casual, enjoying the heat and gossiping.

At this time, the outsiders came here in a hurry.

"Son."

"There is a message from the family that the official has called you to enter the palace immediately."

Sheng Hong stood up suddenly.

Apart from court affairs, what else could the officials call him to see at this sensitive moment?

Qi Heng casually smiled at Ming Lan before getting up.

Zhao Zhen finally came to his senses, but it was two days later than he expected.

But it doesn't matter.

……

In the Palace of Qinzheng.

Zhao Zhen, who was wearing a crimson single, looked at the young man in front of him, his eyebrows and eyes were full of complex emotions.

He was still him, no different from the first time I saw him last year.

As always, calm and unhurried, as always, calm and breezy.
