"Your Majesty is fine." Shen Yu took another look at himself in the mirror.

The bronze mirror was polished brightly, clearly reflecting the appearance of a young man, with snow-skinned black hair, clear and gleaming, and it was held by a turbid and elegant young master.

"How can it be troublesome to comb Ayu's hair?" Shang Junlin came over, picked up a strand of black hair on his shoulder, and said in a half-joking tone, "Ayu is so beautiful, I don't want others to see it. ,How to do?"

Shen Yu has always known that his skin is not bad, and he has not been praised for his appearance once or twice, but when Shang Junlin said it in a possessive tone, his heart trembled.

"Then Your Majesty should take good care of me, so as not to be robbed by others." The corners of Shen Yu's lips rose, his eyes narrowed.

"Zhen will not give anyone a chance. Ayu can't go anywhere except by my side." Thinking of the possibility of Shen Yu standing next to others, the corners of Shang Junlin's mouth flattened.

Shen Yu calmly reassured: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will not go anywhere except by Your Majesty's side."

Shen Yu sat in front of the bronze mirror and smeared on his face. After a while, his eyebrows and eyes were very different from before, and his facial features were brighter and more flamboyant. After a closer look, he could still see the similarities with the original.

Shang Junlin also changed his appearance and changed into a hidden blue uniform.

Shen Yu circled around him: "Your Majesty looks good in this color."

Shang Junlin rarely wears colors other than black, Shen Yu is used to seeing him wearing black clothes, and suddenly seeing him wearing other colors has a sense of novelty.

Shang Junlin's facial features are handsome, belonging to the kind of oppressive beauty, with sharp facial lines, after the disguise, the original sharpness is neutralized, and people are no longer afraid to look directly like before.

Dressed in blue clothes, he suppressed his aura, giving him an illusion of warmth. Even though he had not changed much on his face, it would not make people associate him with Emperor Dahuan.

The two got into the carriage and left the palace.

Shen Yu was also very familiar with this carriage. When he came up, he found that the place where he was sitting was covered with a soft blanket. Some time ago, Shen Yu was too hot and asked Shang Junlin to remove this thing.

"Wait for this autumn hunting, I will give you a tiger skin." Shang Junlin sat beside Shen Yu and rubbed his earlobe.

"Does it mean that His Majesty will give me whatever I want?"

"As long as Ayu opens his mouth, I will do it for Ayu." Shang Junlin stared at him with a firm look in his eyes.

Shen Yu had no doubt that Shang Junlin could do what he said, but he was still stunned by the man's answer without hesitation.

"If Your Majesty has always spoiled me like this, I will be proud of it." Shen Yu restrained his thoughts and looked at Shang Junlin seriously.

"I give Ayu the right to be pampered and arrogant." The hand that kneaded the earlobe changed to caress the cheek.

Shen Yu frowned slightly: "This is what His Majesty said, and His Majesty should not regret it in the future."

"I will never regret falling in love with Ayu."

As the weather turned cooler, the number of active people on the street suddenly increased, and the carriages drove on the street in an orderly manner.

When they got to the theater, Shen Yu and Shang Junlin got off the bus.

People from outside the theater came and went, and groups of three, three, five or five gathered together and walked inside while talking.

Dahuan's favorite concubine of a certain emperor loves listening to opera, and it works well. During that time, Dahuan's opera industry has achieved great development. After several generations, the favorite concubine and Dahuan Emperor have become characters in opera, and opera has also been deeply The hearts of the Dahuan people.

The Baixilou is an old theater that has been passed down for several generations. The best group in the theater is dedicated to the royal family and nobles, while the other groups perform for the common people. .

The first floor is the hall, where most people choose to listen to the opera. The second floor is the private room, which is separated by a partition. Each guest has a separate space, which is most suitable for powerful people or giants to bring their family or friends .

"Are the two guests on the first floor or want a private room? It just so happens that the scene will start in a quarter of an hour. You two came by coincidence. Otherwise, you will have to wait a little longer."

"I want a private room, on the second floor."

"Okay, you two come with the little ones."

Shen Yu and Shang Junlin approached the private room on the second floor. The space is not big, but the layout is very delicate. There are some snacks on the table in the middle, because there are only two of them, and they want a private seat for two.

"Are you two people who need to be served?"

"Need not."

A quarter of an hour later, "Return to Spring" was officially staged.

Shen Yu and Shang Junlin sat together and looked down. The skeleton of the play was written by him. He knew the development of the story in his chest. What he saw more was the reaction of the people below.

The position they chose has a good view, whether it is the stage below or those who are listening to the play, they can see it.

"Ayu's scenes are well arranged." Shang Jun said softly.

"Your Majesty said, will there be officials to come?" If Shen Yu remembered correctly, there are many officials in Da Huan who like to listen to the play.

"Yes, look over there, those are the Minister of Household and Minister of Industry." Shang Junlin pointed in a direction.

Shen Yu looked over, and sure enough, the Ministers of the Ministry of Housing and the Ministry of Industry were both wearing normal clothes and sitting in the crowd on the first floor.

"Do they have such a good relationship in private?" They can all make an appointment to listen to the play together.

"It turned out not to be so good. Before the Ministry of Industry could not support itself, it is not an exaggeration to say that the relationship between them was like water and fire. Later, when Ayu proposed a sponsorship method, they got closer and closer." Shang Junlin explain.

"Is it because the Ministry of Industry has been reaching out to the Ministry of Household for money?" Shen Yu felt a little incredible.

"So far, it seems so."

"Is there any progress over the Ministry of Industry?" Since the first cement road was paved, Shen Yu hasn't paid attention to the follow-up for a long time.

"The second road is almost finished, and there will be results in a while. The Ministry of Industry said that if this plan is feasible, they can gradually replace the roads in Beijing with cement roads. They also found that cement can be used. Come to build, they built a small house out of cement, which is said to be very strong."

Shen Yu just asked a question, and when he heard the answer, he no longer cared about this matter. With such a large engineering department, there were so many people in it, so it would not be difficult to handle this matter.

Shen Yu's eyes circled below, looking at the second floor, and saw an acquaintance again.

"The prime minister is also there, and he also brought Jiang Huaiqing, He Chengyu and Fang Jiayi with him."

In order not to attract attention, Fang Jiayi dressed as a man.

"The prime minister is very optimistic about He Chengyu and the three of them, and the excerpts presented yesterday also praised them."

Can you not be optimistic? With the participation of these three people, the Prime Minister can reduce the workload by more than half every day. The Prime Minister dreams that all the officials of Dahuan will one day be like these three people. Do your part.

As a result, many officials who have come up under the shadows do not say if they can't do their job well, but they stare at other people's power all day long, and what they can't do is cause some mess for him to deal with.

"Sometimes I feel that the prime minister is acting against the aristocratic family, and he is completely unaccustomed to the style of these aristocratic officials." Shang Junlin thought of some past events and couldn't help but laugh.

"The Prime Minister's background should not be low."

"It's not low, and at the beginning, the relationship between him and the officials of the noble family was not so rigid, otherwise he would not have entered the cabinet so easily. After he became the prime minister, he would clean up the mess for the noble family every few days. The relationship is getting more and more tense." Shang Junlin was naturally happy to see this scene happen.

The prime minister was listening to the play attentively. He didn't intend to come. Even on a holiday, he still had a lot of things to deal with. It was Jiang Huaiqing who suggested to him that he should relax when he was busy. He thought about how busy he was with official business. After countless days and nights, I felt that I should rest.

So brought three people to listen to "Return to Spring".

He often goes in and out of the palace, and of course he knows what the real purpose of this play is. He brought the three out to investigate the political acumen of the three.

During the intermission, he poured himself a cup of tea and asked, "Do you have any ideas when you see it now?"

"This play alludes to the matter of Subei. The embezzlement of relief materials is just the opposite of the current robbery. The court has been discussing donations. Now the people know the meaning of donations through watching the play, etc. When the imperial court officially announces this policy, there will be no groundless suspicion."

Not only in the capital, but also in other places, there are theaters performing the play during this period, and because the play itself is attractive enough, more and more people watch it.

The Prime Minister nodded in appreciation.

This imperial examination finally selected some good seedlings.

And secretly planning in his heart, how to quickly cultivate the three of them, and one more person to share, the burden on him will be lighter.

During the intermission, the people below started to discuss.

"Corrupt officials are too much. There are so many soldiers and people at the border who are still waiting for food to save their lives. They even greedy the food and money."

"Yeah, I'm so violent, I can't wait to rush up and blow his head."

"Liang Niang and the others have already started preparing food, and I hope they can catch up. Otherwise, the enemy forces will overwhelm the border, and the frontier soldiers will not even have food. How can they protect their family and protect the country?"

"That's why the corrupt officials have no heart and don't think about it. If the enemy army comes in, what's the use of him even if he has so much money?"

"You said, Niang Niang can prepare supplies to send to the border, can we do it too? Subei was in a severe drought, and Mr. Fang was ordered to provide relief, but he encountered robbers. Now we don't know how the situation there, can we also help? What does Subei do?"

"If the supplies can be successfully delivered to Subei, I am willing to donate half of my family's food!"

"Beyond Subei is Beimo. Beimo has been eyeing Dahuan for a long time. If it wasn't for His Majesty's fear of attacking them back then, how could they have easily stopped? If something happens to Subei, Beimo will definitely make a comeback."

"We can't let Bei Mo have a chance to go south!"

"As Li Niang said, to protect the family and the country, everyone should contribute, and the accumulation of small amounts will add up. Although our ability is limited, what if there are hundreds, thousands, or ten thousand people? It can always play a role. !"

"That's right. Is there anyone who knows the government? Can we express our views with the court?"

The discussion below became more and more heated, Shen Yu picked up the teacup and took a sip, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, half of his goal was achieved.

"Did Ayu rehearse the scene for such a scene?" Shang Junlin also heard the discussion, and a complex color flashed in his eyes.

"Look, Your Majesty, what I want is not an order from the imperial court, but an opportunity for the people to fight for themselves."

"I am so fortunate to have Ayu's help." Shang Junlin embraced Shen Yu and placed a light kiss on the side of his face.
