Chapter 199 Disaster Relief Bank

Du Qiuwan looked at Du Lingchun, and she was dazed for a moment. She didn't know if it was an illusion, but she always felt that the gloomy air that had been lingering on her brother for so many years had become lighter.

Summer is almost over, but the flowers in the palace are still fragrant.Du Qiuwan saw a dead leaf falling on Du Lingchun's shoulder, and raised her hand to gently brush it away for him. Her fingernails were dyed with dandelion, and were slender and delicate: "I take it for what it is, and it is worthy of your begging."

Du Lingchun was silent for a moment and said, "He is my brother's confidant."

Du Qiuwan said: "No matter how close you are, you have to be careful. How can you know that he is loyal to you when people's hearts are separated from each other? Don't shoot yourself in the foot."

Because of Du Lingchun's abnormal attitude, she did not immediately agree to the matter.

Du Lingchun thought carefully and said, "Sister, do you still remember the past..."

Du Qiuwan felt the sun was beating down on her, so she lazily sat down on the porch and gently wiped the sweat from her forehead with a handkerchief: "How were you before?"

Du Lingchun made up a half-truthful reason: "When we passed through Jiangzhou in the past, we met a kind-hearted lady who gave us porridge and food. Gongsun Zhuoyu was his only son. It is said that we also have a meal.Grace."

The old years were too hard and hard to forget.Hearing what he said, Du Qiuwan also remembered it and was slightly startled: "Is it that lady's child?"

Du Lingchun nodded in agreement.

Du Qiuwan straightened his handkerchief and said: "It happened twenty years ago. I didn't expect to meet him again in the capital... Anyway, it's not a big deal. I heard someone said that he has found out the truth about the case.It is also appropriate to be a Jing Zhaoyin, and His Majesty should not object."

Du Lingchun gave a rare smile: "Thank you, sister."

His younger brother is naturally pleasing to the eye no matter how he looks at him.Du Qiuwan thought that Du Lingchun was much better than the queen's brother who only played with cats and lackeys all day long, but it was a pity...

It's a pity that he was trapped in his livelihood and went to the palace to become a eunuch.

Nowadays, even if you have power and wealth, you may not really be happy.

Many of the eunuchs in the palace found maids as companions to live together.Although he knew that saying this would make Du Lingchun unhappy, Du Qiuwan still couldn't help but said: "You should also find someone close to you to serve you. You are always alone. What do you say?"

As expected, Du Lingchun was not very happy and said sadly: "Sister, are you stabbing me?"

He is a eunuch, what kind of woman is he looking for?

Du Qiuwan frowned her slender eyebrows: "Why do you reject people thousands of miles away? How will you know if you don't try? First find someone who is considerate and smart to serve you. Maybe you will change your mind."

Du Lingchun rolled up his sleeves and said coldly: "I'm not looking for you!"

Du Qiuwan glared at him: "If you don't look for him, you won't look for him. I don't know who is following this stubborn temper. I see that you don't want to stay here either. Cui Qiao, kick him out."

After saying this, he flicked the silk handkerchief in his hand, turned around and entered the inner hall.

Cui Qiao subconsciously looked at Du Lingchun, only to see that the man left directly without looking back. He left in a clean and tidy manner.

Gongsun Zhuoyu was sitting in the carriage at the entrance of the palace waiting for Du Lingchun. Suddenly he heard someone calling him from outside. He subconsciously opened the carriage curtain and saw that it was Yan Fu.

Gongsun Zhuoyu originally wanted to get out of the carriage, but when he saw Yan Fu also sitting in the carriage, talking to him through the curtain, he did not move. He raised his hands and saluted: "So it's Prime Minister Yan. What's important?"

Yan Fu smiled and stroked his beard: "Why are you here, little friend?"

Gongsun Zhuoyu didn't mind letting others know that he and Du Lingchun were in the same group: "Ah, I have something to discuss with Du Lingchun, so I'm waiting for him here."

At Yan Fu's age, it was impossible to really care about anything. He was an official and a butler, and his mind was much more open-minded than ordinary people.He stroked his beard after hearing this: "General Mo and I are old friends. It's a pity that when the Mo family was in trouble, I was unable to help. Thank you very much for interceding in the palace today."

To be a good person, one must be considerate of everything. Some people say that Yan Fu had countless disciples and friends all over the world, which shows his good popularity.It's just that he alone supports him in the officialdom. In the end, he is still more than capable.

Gongsun Zhuoyu didn't want to be that kind of person, but he wouldn't belittle this kind of behavior. He just said: "As a parent official, you should do it."

Yan Fu suddenly mentioned another unrelated matter: "Locust plagues occur frequently in the south and people die of hunger everywhere. Your Majesty has sent an imperial envoy to distribute food and provide relief."

The imperial envoy is a member of Du Lingchun's party. If the money is transferred, it will be deducted by them.

Gongsun Zhuoyu said nothing, wanting to hear what Yan Fu would say.

Yan Fu's eyes were full of wisdom, but also very old: "I don't think you are a very evil person. If you can persuade Du Si Gong to be virtuous, it will be a good thing to save the people and yourself. The Qin Dynasty has Zhao Gao, and the Eastern Han Dynasty has Liang Yi, there was Chen Ziqiang in the Southern Song Dynasty, and Cai Jing in the Northern Song Dynasty. At the beginning, they were all powerful and wealthy, but it was a pity that those who committed unjust actions would be killed themselves. Why should people today repeat the same mistakes? "

After he finished speaking, he let out a long sigh. He couldn't help but feel some sentimentality similar to that of an old man. He slowly lowered the car curtain and waved for the driver to leave.

Gongsun Zhuoyu sat in the carriage, thoughtful.He thought that Yan Fu was telling himself that doing unjust things would only lead to temporary glory, and it would be better to turn around as soon as possible, otherwise he would not end well.

The words are a bit harsh, but the reasoning is not rough.

Gongsun Zhuoyu was also a little upset after being fiddled with by him. He didn't know what he thought of, so he knocked on the wall of the car: "That ball."

The carriage was quiet, without any movement.

Gongsun Zhuoyu blinked quickly and tried to remember the name of the system: "Um... what is 00? 007?"

The system flew out from behind and hit him on the back of the head with its wings: "I am 009."

Gongsun Zhuoyu was slapped so hard that he fell against the wall of the car. With stars in his eyes, he took a deep breath, rubbed his head and said, "Why is it so fierce? I just called him by the wrong name."

The system snorted: "Why are you calling me?"

Gongsun Zhuoyu immediately became energetic: "You said I died quite miserably in my last life, right?"

The system thought that you didn't die miserably, but that you deserved to die: "Yeah."

Gongsun Zhuoyu asked: "Then do you know how Du Lingchun died in his previous life? Did he die a good death?"

A general dies in a battle and returns wrapped in horse leather; a civil servant is buried in a coffin after his death when his talents are exhausted; a powerful minister is manipulating the wind and clouds, and is often trapped in political intrigues, so how can he have a happy ending?

The system flapped its wings and said hesitantly: "There are regulations above that cannot be said."

Gongsun Zhuoyu blinked and lowered his voice: "You tell me quietly, and I promise not to tell anyone. I am the most loyal person."

The system used its wings to pull his head away, without saying anything. He only said one sentence in a formal manner: "A house that accumulates good deeds will always be happy, and a house that accumulates bad deeds will always be in trouble."

It didn't want to reveal too much, as if it was afraid that Gongsun Zhuoyu would ask questions, so after speaking, it disappeared into the air with a whoosh.

Gongsun Zhuoyu was stunned for a moment, then he realized what he was doing and sat back slowly, pondering the meaning behind his words: A family that practices good will definitely be blessed with good fortune, and a family that does evil will suffer disaster.

Could it be that Du Lingchun, a powerful official with all the power in the government and the public, did not have a happy ending in his previous life?

Gongsun Zhuoyu suddenly felt a little lonely.He thought that being a loyal minister in a turbulent and chaotic world would already be a difficult situation, but he did not expect that traitorous ministers would not necessarily end well. How to protect oneself in this world became a problem again.

Du Lingchun came out of the imperial concubine's palace, and as soon as he got on the carriage, he saw Gongsun Zhuoyu slumped in his position, sighing.

"Who messed with you?"

Du Lingchun pushed him and sat down next to him. Thinking of what Du Qiuwan said just now, he still felt a little depressed.But seeing Gongsun Zhuoyu looking distracted, he put it aside and went to coax him first: "You have already agreed on the position of Jing Zhaoyin with your sister, why are you so worried about it?"

The carriage is big enough to lie down on.Gongsun Zhuoyu simply rested his head on Du Lingchun's lap and asked in a confused manner: "My father is already a highly respected minister, but what else do you want but haven't gotten?"

Du Lingchun was startled when he heard this. He had never thought about this problem.He lowered his eyes and looked at Gongsun Zhuoyu's features, pinched his face, and said angrily: "Why do you ask this?"

Gongsun Zhuoyu: "Well... I just want to know."

Du Lingchun didn't think for a long time and only said one word: "Nothing."

He already has power, gold and silver, and Gongsun Zhuoyu, which is enough.

After Du Lingchun finished speaking, he looked at Gongsun Zhuoyu: "What about you, do you have anything you want to ask for?"

As long as he wasn't sitting on the throne or visiting a brothel, Du Lingchun would be willing to get it for him.

Gongsun Zhuoyu said happily: "I want to leave my name in history and become a celebrity, so that someone can remember me after I die."

Du Lingchun was an ancient man who was quite taboo about certain words. He covered his mouth when he heard the words and reprimanded in a low voice: "You little bastard, how old are you? Open your mouth and shut up. You're dead. Don't say it again in the future."

Gongsun Zhuoyu held his hand, brought it to his lips and kissed it: "Okay, listen to the company."

whee.

Official positions are hard to come by, but if all the connections in the former dynasty and harem are connected, nothing is impossible.After Mo Jingxian's case was over, less than half a month later, the emperor couldn't help the concubine's love for him and ordered Gongsun Zhuoyu to be appointed as the new Jing Zhaoyin. He was promoted so fast that no one could be found in the entire court.

Gongsun Zhuoyu finally no longer had to wear the green tortoise-like county magistrate's uniform. Instead, he changed into a new pale crimson official robe with a gold belt, which looked very majestic.From an organ the size of sesame seeds and mung beans to an organ the size of a watermelon, it only takes a blink of an eye.

"Now that I have been promoted, I will take up my post tomorrow. The capital is not as good as Jiangzhou, so we must not be as lazy as before."

Du Lingchun had already figured out Gongsun Zhuoyu's temperament. If no one screamed, it was common for him to sleep until midnight.You can tell just by looking at his lack of formal appearance during the trial in Jiangzhou.

Gongsun Zhuoyu was thinking about another thing: "Wouldn't it be impossible to accompany the company in the future?"

The capital is at the feet of the emperor, and you must be cautious in every word and deed, otherwise you will be impeached by the officials and censors.With Du Lingchun's status, he was often pointed at and scolded by them.What's more, those writers were all members of Yan Fu's party. When they saw the close contact between Gongsun Zhuoyu and Du Lingchun, they must have been watching from the dark.

However, those literati were very dignified, and they were not afraid of death. They would commit suicide to express their ambitions at every turn, banging their heads against the dragon pillars, and splattering their blood in the Tai Chi Hall. The emperor sometimes had nothing to do with them.

Du Lingchun was sitting behind the desk drinking tea. Hearing this, he raised his eyelids and glanced at him. He used the tea lid to skim off the foam and said, "Just don't cause me any more trouble."

But in my heart, it was quite helpful for him to remember me.

Gongsun Zhuoyu came over, leaned against the desk, casually took out a Hu pen and turned it between his fingers twice: "Does the company think I'm annoyed? Could it be that he really listened to what the imperial concubine said and wants to find someone smart?"Waiting by the side?"

Du Lingchun came back that day and told him what Du Qiuwan said, and Gongsun Zhuoyu would mention it from time to time to make it clear that he was a monster.

Du Lingchun slowly rubbed his temples with his fingertips, thinking that Gongsun Zhuoyu was obviously a living ancestor and was difficult to take care of.Half-truthfully, he said: "If we really find him, how will we treat him?"

Gongsun Zhuoyu raised his chin slightly and immediately pointed with his pen at the lotus pond outside the window and said, "Believe it or not, I'll jump down and show it to you."

Du Lingchun knocked his hand down: "Nonsense!"

But there is no momentum.

Gongsun Zhuoyu simply closed the window and sat huddled with him with a smile: "I am already smart, and it is impossible for the company to find someone smarter than me."

Du Lingchun put the tea cup back and whispered: "Fool."

Why should Gongsun Zhuoyu be so nervous? Who else would fall in love with an eunuch besides him.Du Lingchun was not worried about him attracting bees and butterflies, but he was worried about Du Lingchun.

Gongsun Zhuoyu thought that when he took office tomorrow, he would have a lot of chores and would not be able to spare time for a while.After all, the young man was so full of energy that he directly hugged Du Lingchun's waist, kissed him delicately on his neck, and skillfully opened the belt of his clothes.

Du Lingchun subconsciously glanced at the doors and windows and saw that they were tightly closed, so he didn't care anymore.His eyebrows were lowered, and while he responded to his kiss, he scolded him in a vague voice: "Don't even look at the time, it's still daytime!"

Du Lingchun was still not used to exposing himself in broad daylight.

Gongsun Zhuoyu pressed him on the table, and the rice paper and inkstone suddenly became a mess: "What are you afraid of? It will get dark soon."

Gongsun Zhuoyu kissed along the side of Du Lingchun's face, and the hot air sprayed on his neck, ambiguous and moist, which was easier than the previous times.Du Lingchun's red shirt was wrinkled into a ball, and when it fell to the ground, it looked like a beautiful flower, lying quietly on the carpet.

"Well……"

Du Lingchun felt that the table was cold and uncomfortable, but he couldn't struggle.His eyes were looking up distractedly, with a touch of bright red gradually smearing at the end of his slender eyes. His passion and desire had dissipated a bit of the sinister bird of prey that he had carried all year round. His whole person was as soft as a puddle of water, allowing anyone to take whatever he wanted..

Occasionally, Gongsun Zhuoyu would kiss his wounds, a kiss as gentle as a dragonfly dripping water, and could not be more gentle.

Du Lingchun would always feel embarrassed and trembling uncontrollably at this time.He squeezed Gongsun Zhuoyu's shoulders tightly, and was so stimulated that tears came to his eyes. He frowned and said in a hoarse voice: "Don't..."

Gongsun Zhuoyu leaned over again, kissed his ear, nipped it gently, and called him: "Sigong...Sigong..."

He picked up a strand of Du Lingchun's crow-feather-like black hair and asked him in a low voice: "Who else can make the company so happy besides me?"

Du Lingchun couldn't listen to his shameless words, his face and ears were hot, but he couldn't refute.He raised his hand to cover Gongsun Zhuoyu's mouth, panting and saying intermittently: "You bastard, where did you learn that nonsense?"

Gongsun Zhuoyu blushed and whispered: "I read it in the story book."

Because his mouth was covered, his voice was not clear.

Du Lingchun, with messy black hair, glared at him: "It must not be a serious book."

Gongsun Zhuoyu muttered: "Who can read serious books?"

Du Lingchun was unsteady and knocked over the pen holder with his wrong hand, making a jingling sound.Fortunately, Wu Yue went to guard the outer door and heard no movement.The two of them made a mess in the study and stopped when it got dark.

The night is dark, but the scenery in the courtyard is still beautiful, and the scattered shadows of rare and exotic plants also have a unique swaying charm.In the afternoon, someone delivered a stack of ledgers. Wu Yue glanced at the sky and estimated that it was almost time, so he walked over and knocked on the door: "Company."

It was quiet inside. After a while, Du Lingchun's soft voice sounded, which sounded a little hoarse: "Come in."

Wu Yue watched with his eyes, nose and nose, and never looked around. He went straight in and put the account book on the desk. He said concisely: "For the record, Mr. Liu sent this this afternoon. The things have been put into the warehouse."

Through a screen, he couldn't see what was going on in the bedroom.

Du Lingchun said: "I understand, let's go down."

Wu Yue left the room without changing his expression and quietly closed the door.

Gongsun Zhuoyu walked out of the screen and glanced at the table. He thought it was some treasure, but it turned out to be an account book: "What is this?"

Du Lingchun put on his clothes, thinking that it was a tribute from his subordinates.But looking at Gongsun Zhuoyu's confused expression, he didn't want to say anything and said casually: "Some accounts from the warehouse."

Accepting bribes is not a glorious thing. Inexplicably, Du Lingchun didn't want to tell him.

But Gongsun Zhuoyu could vaguely guess what it was. He remembered that the official sent by the emperor to provide disaster relief seemed to be named Liu. He also heard that Wu Yue had just said that the items had been put into the warehouse, and he was afraid that they were sent as filial piety.

Gongsun Zhuoyu blinked: "Is it this year's disaster relief fund?"

Du Lingchun felt a little sore and was leaning on a chair to rest. Hearing this, he raised his eyelids and glanced at him. He tapped his fingertips on his knees. After a while, he let out an emotionless hum: "So what?"

Du Lingchun picked up a cup of tea, but had no intention of drinking it. He quietly observed Gongsun Zhuoyu's reaction.

This is what officialdom is like, with one level of greed and another level of greed. If you don't take it, others will take it. If you are too clean, you will only be regarded as a thorn in the flesh by others.

Gongsun Zhuoyu actually had no reaction in his heart. He walked over and sat down next to Du Lingchun, pulled him into his arms, gently rubbed his waist, and said casually: "I heard that the locust plague in the south is very serious, and it has already affected Du Lingchun."Twenty-three counties.”

Du Lingchun's feminine brows looked a little dim in the candlelight, and he said in a cool tone: "Are you pitying those people?"

Gongsun Zhuoyu shook his head honestly: "No."

Of course, there may be a little bit, which is completely negligible.

Du Lingchun glanced at him: "Then why are you unhappy?"

Gongsun Zhuoyu never hid anything from him. He put his chin on Du Lingchun's neck and rubbed it. He pitifully said in a sad tone: "Company, I'm afraid that if I do too many bad things, we won't have a good death in the future."manage?"

Du Lingchun: "..."

Du Lingchun would never have imagined that Gongsun Zhuoyu had such an idea. Now he couldn't bear it even if he didn't want to scold him. He placed the tea cup heavily on the table: "You bastard, you have been saying stupid things all day long!"

Gongsun Zhuoyu sat close to the candle, his eyes were a little red from the smoke, and he looked like he was crying.He rubbed his eyes casually and muttered: "That's what it says in the book."

After saying that, he hugged Du Lingchun a little tighter and said in a muffled voice, "I'm afraid that the company boss is dead."

Du Lingchun concluded: "You..."

He turned around and looked at Gongsun Zhuoyu's reddish eyes, but he couldn't rebuke him, and suddenly fell into silence.

The author has something to say: Du Lingchun: There is no need to curse me like this
