What he said was not clear enough, Shang Baiheng was still probing: "Excuse me for being stupid."

Chunyu Nanyan smiled and said: "Mr. doesn't believe me, it's reasonable. After all, since I am already a princess, no matter who ascends the throne, I will be a queen. Actually, I don't have to personally choose a son-in-law to risk myself. What I did, It is indeed abnormal. Everything is just a word of reason, since reason does not make sense, it is natural for Mr. to think about it."

Shang Baiheng listened to her.

Chunyu Nanyan went on to say: "But even if you think about it, can your Highness give me love? In the past, His Highness loved Mei Yun so much. Have you ever mentioned the word Mei Yun in these years? Your Highness said let it go.How decisive. I ask myself if I am not a fairy descending from the earth, I can't detect His Highness's feelings. His Highness has treated me with more than respect, but not enough intimacy. If I don't understand, I will waste my youth."

Only then did Shang Baiheng answer: "Since that's the case, why should Ms. Chunyu waste time here?"

Chunyu Nanyan asked in a warm voice: "It is precisely because His Highness doesn't love things that people who follow him can rest assured, isn't it? Besides, when I said to choose a lover as a match, does the lover have to be Your Highness?"

Shang Baiheng asked vigilantly: "Who is Miss Chunyu?"

Chunyu Nanyan said quite meaningfully: "In life, don't be a woman. A hundred years of suffering and happiness are left to others. Women are not easy. What I want is to choose my own lover. In this way, from the perspective of Mr., can other princes allow me?"【Note】

Shang Baiheng talked about the matter: "Since you are the imperial concubine and have the help of the family, it is the most useful to marry you, and it is best to give birth to a son. But any prince who has a plan will not make you hisuse."

"So, why do I choose Your Highness? Do you understand, sir?" Chunyu Nanyan looked at Shang Baiheng and smiled confidently. Then she turned around slowly, and her gaze fell precisely on the corner of the old corridor that was shaded by trees.There is a lot of laughter.

Yan Xi stood still at the corner, he heard the sound of Chunyu Nanyan changing direction, so he also knew that Chunyu Nanyan had spotted him a long time ago.

This conversation is just for him to listen to.

Chunyu Nanyan's so-called nomination certificate was actually handed to him.

Yan Xi turned around and walked out of the corridor.

The three met each other and pondered each other.

Yan Xi's gaze paused for a while on Shang Baiheng, and seeing the other party's expression was as calm as usual, he couldn't tell what it was like in his heart, but he tried his best to keep his expression as usual, and looked at Chunyu Nanyan.

Chunyu Nanyan bowed to him and said, "Nanyan has met His Highness."

Yan Xi replied politely and asked: "Miss Chunyu has a heart, and Wei Yu has made it in her heart."

He called himself Biao Zi, which means peers.

Chunyu Nanyan understood, and said with a smile: "Nanyan is planning for herself, Your Highness is serious."

Yan Xi smiled back, and it was considered to have exposed the words.Instead, he asked, "Miss Chunyu, why are you here today?"

Hearing this, Chunyu Nanyan smiled slowly and said: "The country that the 'seventh prince' wants, but Laizhou is six hundred miles away from Jingdu. If Princess Ling'er follows the country of 'brother', His Royal Highness will be separated from the princessShan, it is very inconvenient. Nan Yan would like to ask for an order to ask Her Majesty, Princess Yun Ling'er, to be fostered in Chunyu's mansion. It is convenient for Nan Yan to have no brothers in her family."

What Chunyu Nanyan mentioned was exactly what Yan Xi thought.

Yan Xi had previously chosen someone to replace Yan Ling'er's country, but Yan Ling'er has reached the age of being a boudoir, it would be inconvenient to hide her name, and she is really worried about sending her back to the palace.

Indeed, in the entire Jingdu, only the Duke Chunyu's mansion is the most suitable.

Yan Xi was very hesitant at first, after all he had been observing for five years, and still could not understand Chunyu Nanyan's motives.One of the intentions of the other party's confession today is to reassure him.

However, Yan Xi couldn't believe the unwarranted help and loyalty.

He didn't agree immediately, but said: "Miss Chunyu gave me a helping hand, and Wei Yu is very grateful. However, this matter must be based on Linger's wishes, and I will discuss it after I ask her."

Chunyu Nanyan smiled decently.She has an elegant demeanor, standing upright at this moment, with the brilliance in her eyes flowing, she has a certain calmness.

After Chunyu Nanyan left, Yan Xi looked at Shang Baiheng across a courtyard.

Shang Baiheng sighed, and said first: "Wei Yu, follow me as a teacher."

Yan Xi breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that Shang Baiheng was willing to call his name.

The teacher and the student walked back to the courtyard where they had lived together for five years in silence.

Shang Baiheng pushed open the door of his room and sat down at the table first.

Yan Xi followed suit and sat down.

Shang Baiheng's attitude was frank, and there was no sign of embarrassment at all.

He poured the food and handed it to Yan Xi, and said straightforwardly: "I have seen the picture of the flying dragon magic machine, and it is undoubtedly authentic. I have ordered someone to send it to Laizhou and hand it over to Qin Ji. This is our sincerity to the Qin family."Another piece of sincerity, as His Highness said before, Gong Qiong also added something to us in order to clear Qin's suspicion of the Shenji case."

Yan Xi took the teacup, felt the familiar coolness, couldn't help but relax, and asked softly: "What?"

Shang Baiheng got up and took out two account books from the cabinet, sat back and said: "Gong Qiong also hid in the abandoned mausoleum of Youzhou the account books copied by Tianxi from ten to fifteen years, as well as the account books that have been exchanged with him in these years.Private accounts and private messages."

These two account books are good things. Having them is equivalent to holding the evidence of corrupt officials in the house. If they are used well, they are enough to stir up the court.

Yan Xi couldn't help cheering up: "During those five years, Gong Qiong served as the head of the household department, coordinated the financial revenue and expenditure and grain transportation, and held the accounts of the world. I didn't expect that he would dare to copy the private collection. This is a felony. HisSo hiding the account book and the magic weapon is to expose the two together. He is determined to burn everything together. In this way, even though I robbed his things, I was also tricked by him.This person counts life and death as accounts, and he really is a veritable golden abacus."

Shang Baiheng turned to the third page of the account book, handed over another letter, pointed to Liu Bing's name on it, and said: "Gong Qiong is very talented in arithmetic, and he is good at mental arithmetic. Anyone who looks at it can calculate it.A talented person who is promoted extremely quickly in the household department. This kind of person must be reserved for himself. The rich and powerful pushed him into a hurry, so they asked him to fight with his life. Before, Gong Qiong drank blood and asked for directions. OursThe plan started with Liu Bing. Liu Bing is currently the Minister of the Left of the Ministry of Works, after leaving him, the positions below will be promoted step by step to fill, and Yu Heng will be able to vacate the position of the Minister of Officials."

Yan Xi thought about it: "I am now at the seventh rank, and Yu Hengqing's official secretary is at the fifth rank. There is too much difference in rank. Even if I make meritorious service, I still can't reach it, and I have to leave room for maneuver."

Shang Baiheng nodded: "It can be vacated first, without any appointment. Your Highness will first serve as Yuanwailang from the fifth rank, and take charge of all affairs of Yu Hengqing's official affairs department."

Yan Xi said: "It's not too eye-catching, but also easy to do, very good."

"If that's the case, I'll ask someone to report it to Your Majesty." Shang Baiheng closed the account book, wrapped it in oiled paper, and handed it to Yan Xi.

Yan Xi put it away.

So, the discussion is over.

The two looked at each other, but they were speechless.

Yan Xi felt uncomfortable.

Shang Baiheng turned his eyes away, he looked at Tianguang, and after a moment of silence, he spoke first: "Wei Yu, there is no king of Laizhou in the Imperial Mausoleum, and I have no students to teach here, and I should return to the Imperial Academy."

Yan Xi's heart tightened, and he asked out the worries of the past few days: "Is the teacher blaming me?"

Shang Baiheng got up, walked to the window, and said lightly: "Forget what happened that night, the light rain, the road ahead is difficult, we each take care of it."

Yan Xi looked up at him: "Is the teacher unwilling to teach me anymore?"

Shang Baiheng looked at the scorching sun, but his heart was cold. He said slowly: "I will be a teacher for one day, and I will be a teacher for the rest of my life. From now on, we will just separate the two places, and it will be inconvenient to see each other every day. In the futureEvery five and ten, Zhou Ci and I go to Xuanzhai to look for His Highness, in fact, it is no different from before."

Yan Xi heard that Shang Baiheng deliberately kept a distance from him, he felt disappointed, lowered his eyes and said: "The student knows."

He thought, Shang Baiheng was still blaming him.

But Yan Xi didn't notice that Shang Baiheng didn't dare to look at him the whole time he said these words.

Five days later, the Ministry of Works sent a memorial to Xuan Yin, impeaching Ministry of Works left servant Liu Bingzhong for enriching his own pockets, using false public affairs to benefit his own interests, and depriving Yu Heng of official expenses, resulting in poor quality of pig iron and damage to military weapons., Endangering national defense, piles of piles, the evidence of the crime is conclusive.

Emperor Tianxi was furious in the court, and put Liu Bing into the prison of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

The dynasty was dispersed, all officials withdrew like a tide, and everyone avoided Yan Xi.

Yan Xi walked slowly, falling behind all the officials, he walked alone on the sweet-scented osmanthus, staring straight ahead with a calm expression.

When walking down the jade steps, saw an official standing in the shade under the white marble railing.

The man was wearing a scarlet robe with a gold forging flower jade belt, and the peacock embroidered on the patch was lifelike. This man was not like usual, and always had a group of supporters, and he stayed here alone.

Obviously, they came here just to wait for him.

Yan Xi couldn't pretend to turn a blind eye, so he had no choice but to go forward and salute: "I have seen Mr. Pei."

Pei Qingshi looked at Yan Xi, did not ask him to be polite, and said in a stern tone: "Although the six divisions are directly under His Majesty, they have close business with the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Whenever there is an important matter, it is customary to notify in advance, that is,It's a point of reference for each other, and it's also a way of helping each other. Liu Bing is a senior member of the third rank, and your little seventh rank is in trouble. If you can't defeat him, you will be counterattacked and held accountable. Today is the day before you happened to catch up with the Metropolitan ProcuratorateReceived an anonymous private letter from Gong Qiong as evidence. It is not always such a fluke. Moreover, there are too many coincidences in this case, which cannot be arranged by a junior official like you. You are new to the court and do not know the danger.It is not easy for you to study hard in the cold window, if you have similar things in the future, you can come to find the official first."

Yan Xi was not sure what Pei Qingshi meant, so he didn't dare to answer easily.

Pei Qingshi snorted coldly: "Master Xuan, don't you believe me?"

Yan Xi said without changing his expression: "I dare not."

Pei Qingshi said coldly: "That's all I said. If you don't believe me, you can do it. Young people don't know the heights of the sky and the depths of the earth. The water in Jingdu is deep. This time you have waded through the water. The future is dangerous and you have to bear it yourself."

Yan Xi replied neither humble nor overbearing: "Although the lower officials do not have the power to be sidekick, they also know that the power and responsibility are equal. If you dare to do something, you have already foreseen the consequences. As soon as the lower officials eat the people's salary, they have to plead for the people for a day. Your ExcellencyAn official is just an innocuous little official, even if something happens, it won't affect others. My personal safety is really nothing to worry about. It's not like Mr. Pei who lives in a high cabinet and has a great status. Today, Mr. Pei reminded me, I am very grateful."

Pei Qingshi could hear the sarcasm in Yan Xi's words.

He is a dignified third-rank official in charge, condescending to nominate a small official who has just entered the official position, but he is accused of ignorance and insinuation.

Surprised, he sneered: "Xuan Yin, you have met me many times, either avoiding or talking about it, could it be that there is an old personal enmity between you and me?"
