The Bandit’s Strategy

Chapter 100: Is this decided?

[Chapter 100 Is this decided?] Haven't discussed with my man yet

Early the next morning, everyone went to the lobby for breakfast, but they were delayed in seeing Zhao Yue and Wen Liunian. Just as Shang Yunze was about to send someone to invite, Lu Zhui coughed: "It's okay, don't wait." There was such a battle last night, I'm afraid it won't wake up until three poles in the sun.

Shang Yunze's heart suddenly understood, and it was a tacit understanding.

"My lord must have been shopping at the night market for a long time last night." Mu Qingshan earnestly picked up vegetables and ate steamed buns, and by the way, he made sure to conclude. I went to bed when I came back, and I have been asleep until now. I didn't even eat breakfast, which shows that I was really tired.

"Cough." Lu Zhui calmly lowered his head to eat noodles.

The adults must have chosen this master at the beginning because they were dull enough.

Due to the rain, even though it is midsummer, there is still a bit of coolness in the early morning. Zhao Yue gently opened the quilt, trying to cover his arms.

Wen Liunian opened his eyes in a daze, and looked at him stupidly for a while: "Morning."

"Morning." Zhao Yue likes how he looks when he just woke up. He looks like he can't usually see him, and his cheeks are flushing.

Wen Liunian buried his face in his arms and arched it reluctantly, before stretching his waist vigorously.

On the white shoulders, there were still traces of last night's ambiguity. Zhao Yue put his arms around his body and bowed his head again and kissed him.

So the two who originally planned to get up, delayed for a while, until Mu Qingshan at the other end drank two cups of tea after breakfast, was dragged by Shang Yunze and walked three or four times in the courtyard before they put on their clothes. After washing his face, he walked out hand in hand.

"My lord, Zhao Da is in charge." The steward of the small courtyard happened to pass by. After seeing the two of them, he came in with a smile and said hello, "Just getting up."

"Morning." Wen Liunian moved his muscles and bones a bit.

"Did you sleep well last night?" The steward was extremely enthusiastic.

Wen Liunian said: "Okay." It's really good, except for some pain in the waist.

"Is it *drunk?" The manager was ecstatic, "That medicine works. My daughter-in-law has to buy some when she goes to the drugstore to store it in case of emergencies."

Wen Liunian:...

Do you want to say this too?

Zhao Yue coughed twice, and he really deserved to be a royal city. When the people talked, they were not at the same level as the Boundless City.

"My mother likes it too." Guan Shi continued to mutter.

"Huh?" Wen Liunian was a little frightened, "Lingtang?"

"Yes, when my mother can't sleep, she has to take it and smell it," the steward replied.

Zhao Yue felt that he was almost unable to listen. When he wanted to take Wen Liunian to leave, he listened to the manager and added: "There are a lot of Chinese herbal medicines in it, as well as cinnabar and amber stones, which are all good tranquilizers. "

...

Soothe the nerves?

Wen Liunian's eyes are rarely at a loss.

Zhao Yue said: "*Is drunk a tranquilizer?"

"Yes." Guan Shi was even more surprised, "I think it's all over the country. Could it be that the two of you haven't seen it before?"

"Naturally I have seen it!" Wen Liunian held Zhao Yue's sleeve.

"That's right, this is the prescription that Ye Xiaowang personally prepared. The name of the medicine given by Long Live Master himself is said to be sold well in Nanyang." The steward said, "Then I will go down and prepare breakfast for the two of you. Do you eat in the yard?"

Wen Liunian nodded: "Thank you very much."

"My lord, you are polite. Since you are a friend of the castle lord, you should treat yourself to it." The steward smiled so much and turned to the kitchen to eat.

It's really hospitable and very talkative.

Wen Liunian was quite resentful. Since it is a tranquilizer, why should he have such a misleading name?

Of course, there is still a lot of origin among them. Today’s sage Chuyuan was only nineteen years old when he became a king. From time to time there was the old wolf ambition of the Northeast Snow Plains. The leader of the northwest tribe, Gu Lihan, also looked at him, and further down there was a southwestern king, Duan Baiyue, who did not know whether he was an enemy or a friend. The wind and rain are precarious, coupled with the domestic drought and floods, a group of veterans seem to be arguing every day when they go to court, and they can't live in peace when they go down.

In the end, the external troubles were finally settled, and then the Qing Dynasty was constantly pursuing the Qing Dynasty, and the power was completely returned to the hands. Only then has the present Qingping and prosperous age, but there is a root cause-close your eyes, and the brain begins to mess up. One piece, I can't sleep even for a moment. After Ye Xiaowang learned about it, he specially prepared this bottle of medicine for Chu Yuan. It was said that the effect was excellent.

"What's your name?" Chu Yuan asked while holding the medicine bottle.

"No name." Ye Jin packed up, "It's specially for you."

"Choose a name." Chu Yuan sat beside him.

Ye Jin curled her lips and said perfunctorily: "*Drunk."

...

So the next day, the name of the medicine inscribed by the emperor's imperial pen was made into a plaque, and it was hung brightly on the gate of the first pharmacy in the capital-such a good medicine should be used by the people, and there is absolutely no reason for hiding.

Ye Jin was stunned when she saw it, but the name of the medicine could not be changed, so she rolled up her sleeves and punched Chu Yuan, then angrily rode the donkey back to the Jiangnan Riyue Villa.

And it was this casual name that really pitted Master Wen into it.

Smell the tranquilizer medicine, you can smell the aphrodisiac|the effect of the medicine...

Wen Liunian's ears were hot, his back was hot, and his whole body was hot. He sat at a small table holding chopsticks and waited silently for a meal.

Zhao Yue helped him pour a cup of tea.

Wen Liunian looked at him resentfully: "What are you laughing at?"

Zhao Yue took a meal: "Am I smiling?"

Wen Liunian squeezed out the word "um".

The expression was so inviting, Zhao Yue finally broke his skills and hugged him into his arms.

Wen Liunian resolutely closed his eyes, and don't open them even if he is killed.

"I like you last night." Zhao Yue whispered while biting his ear.

"Don't you like it usually?" Wen Liunian squinted at him.

"I usually like it, and I like it the most last night." Zhao Yue dragged his back, just thinking about kissing him, there was an "Oh" from outside.

Wen Liunian stood up quickly.

"It's so good, how can you fall off the steps." Shang Yunze put the person in his arms on the ground, "fortunately I am behind, otherwise I have to fall again."

Mu Qingshan pointed his finger "shh".

Shang Yunze:...

Lu Zhui understood very well: "The master and the adults...huh?"

Mu Qingshan nodded desperately.

Shang Yunze:...

Lu Zhui rubbed his temples. It started as soon as he finished eating last night. It doesn't matter if lunch is almost finished now, he is still in the yard? !

"Let's go quickly." Mu Qingshan took Shang Yunze and ran away.

"No need." Shang Yunze stood in place.

"Good morning everyone." Wen Liunian greeted him calmly, standing at the door.

"I have something to ask an adult." Shang Yunze pulled out the little nerd who was hiding behind him.

Mu Qingshan looked innocent, I didn't mean to rush in!

"Come in and sit down." Wen Liunian turned sideways and stepped aside.

Not to mention that he is the prefect, but he is very calm in the event of trouble.

As Lu Zhui walked in, he glanced at Zhao Yue with complicated eyes.

If things go on like this, how can I get it.

Zhao Yue put Jiyuedao on the table.

When the matter is over, we must find a chance to fight.

"What's the matter with Lord Shangbao?" Wen Liunian asked.

"When we went to Piaoxiangyuan last night, we saw a strange guest." Shang Yunze said.

"... Brothel?" Wen Liunian wondered, why did he take Master to such a place.

"It's not a brothel, it's a song and dance house." Mu Qingshan roughly said what happened last night, and took out the pile of music from his sleeve. "I think it's a little weird, so I came to talk to the adults."

"It's really weird." Wen Liunian took over the score, read it page by page, and asked casually: "Are there any clues about that guest?"

"People have been checked, and there is no news yet." Shang Yunze said, "However, looking at the scores and lyrics, it should be from the Jiangnan area. I guess it is to remember the old things, or to find someone, so it is not convenient to make it public. , I thought of such a way."

"Looking at the tune seems to be familiar." Wen Liunian said, "Is there a guqin here?"

"Do you still understand rhythm?" Mu Qingshan was surprised.

Wen Liunian said: "I know a little bit."

There happened to be an embroidered woman in the brocade workshop who was good at playing the piano, and Shang Yunze soon sent someone to borrow the guqin.

Wen Liunian tried to fiddle with the strings, and the aftertaste was elegant, like a clear spring in the mountains.

Lu Chai said to Zhao Yue: "I don't know how much virtue you have accumulated in your previous life." Qinqi, calligraphy and painting history sub-collection is proficient in everything, what kind of exquisite seven-heart is born to have such an amazing talent.

Zhao Yue hugged the knife and leaned against the tree, staring at Wen Liunian without blinking, and didn't bother to care about Lu Chai anymore.

The sound of the piano gurgled out, like a spring breeze in March, and it seemed to be able to see the waning moon in Sudi's spring dawn on the West Lake when you closed your eyes. There was a misty rain south of the Yangtze River.

At the end of the song, someone outside the wall was wearing a hat, turned around and strode out of the alley.

"My lord is humbled." Shang Yunze smiled with his palm, "If this is also called a little knowledge, I am afraid that no one in the world dares to claim to be proficient."

Zhao Yue wanted to ask how much he still had, he didn't know.

Lu Zhui kicked him aside.

He didn't know how his eyes narrowed, how different from Zhang Mazi who dreamed of marrying a wife in the vast city every day.

Wen Liunian frowned slightly, as if he hadn't heard the other people talking. After a while, he suddenly turned pale and stood up abruptly.

"What's the matter?" The others were taken aback.

"I seem to know the source of this music." Wen Liunian looked at Zhao Yue.

"Where?" Zhao Yue asked.

Wen Liunian hesitated for a moment, and said, "Like the score made by Baihe back then."

Hearing this sentence, everyone was stunned. It was so good that it was actually related to the unsettled case 20 years ago?

Among the previous rural rumors, it was mentioned that after Baihe moved from the south of the Yangtze River to the Wangcheng, although the guests were full of laughter every day, it was inevitable to miss his homeland in the middle of the night, so he used the most widely spread in the south of the Yangtze River. After a few lyrics, I used to re-arrange the music myself, and played and sang in Baihuayuan together with the singing girl. It attracted countless kings and grandsons to join in. It was very popular for a period of time.

"Sure it's these scores?" Shang Yunze picked it up and turned a few pages.

"Not sure, but eight achievements are." Wen Liunian said, "These three music scores do contain a lot of Jiangnan minors. When my godfather took me out for boating and lake cruises when I was young, the lotus-picking girls often sang, definitely not. Remember it wrong."

"That guest last night, wouldn't it be King Daming?" Mu Qingshan opened his eyes wide.

Zhao Yue's heart was suspended in an instant.

"Looking at the same age, I did say that I came from the east, but I didn't pay attention to the rest." Shang Yunze said, "but now the person is still in the king's city, and it is easy to find it again."

"Go find it?" Lu Chai tentatively looked at Zhao Yue.

Zhao Yue frowned slightly.

"Don't worry about making a decision, you can think about it again." Wen Liunian said, "but pay attention to safety."

Zhao Yue nodded: "Yeah."

From the time I learned that there might be other truths in my own life, I actually thought vaguely that maybe the King Daming was still in this world, maybe one day I would see it, but I didn't expect to be so caught off guard.

Wen Liunian was thinking about another thing in his heart. Reading the scores should be an old person back then, but with such a big fanfare, it doesn't seem to resemble the concealed style of the legendary Ming Wang Yun breaking the soul-what is it for?

But before he could think it through, the butler came over to pass on, saying that someone from the government had come and wanted to see Master Wen.

"There are officials coming now?" Wen Liunian was taken aback, thinking that it would be another ten days.

"Master Wen." Xiang Xun was drinking tea in the front hall and stood up with a smile when he saw him, "Don't come here all right."

"Commander Xiang." Wen Liunian was surprised, "How come you come."

"Naturally by the emperor's order." Xiang Li said, "Master Xuan will enter the palace immediately."

Even if ordinary officials were transferred back to Beijing, I am afraid that they did not skip the household procedures like this time and let Chu Yuan's personal guards come to their homes in person. Lu Chai patted Zhao Yue on the shoulder outside the house. The emperor wanted to grab someone from you.

Naturally, the emperor’s fate could not be delayed. Wen Liunian changed his clothes and hurried out with Xiang Yu. The carriage was already waiting on the street. It was shining golden, and at first glance it was known that it came out of the palace. The people along the way saw it. Later, it was inevitable to whisper. I had heard that the emperor had been transferred to a high-ranking minister. Now it seems that there is something to be done-this sedan chair was only fortunate to sit once when the Taifu was on his birthday.

"Looking at the battle, you are afraid that you are going to live in the royal city for a long time." Lu Zhui looked at Zhao Yue, "I will take care of Chao Muya, so the master will stay here with peace of mind."

Zhao Yue slapped him away with a palm, then turned and strode back.

"If you don't follow it, you can't bear it if you look at it clearly." Lu Zhui was afraid that the world would not be chaotic.

Zhao Yue jumped to the top of the wall, leaving him behind.

In addition to reluctance, there is still worry, but also knows that the palace is forbidden, if you follow it, I am afraid it will cause him more trouble.

Lu Chai tsk tsk, rubbing his finger against the red wolf: "Your father is really virtuous and Shude."

The red wolf shook its tentacles, hungry, and wanted to eat insects.

Ming Huang soft sedan walked all the way into the palace gate, walking very fast so it was a little bumpy, Wen Liunian ate a lot at noon, so that his stomach felt a little uncomfortable, and his face was pale.

"Here." Xiang Li personally lifted the curtain of the car, "My lord, please get off the sedan."

Wen Liunian almost rolled out.

"My lord, be careful!" Xiang Xun was taken aback, and hurriedly reached out and hugged him.

"Thank you, Commander Xiang." Wen Liunian's legs were weak.

"My lord, what's the matter?" Xiang Xun helped him get along.

"It's okay, I just stand for one stop." Wen Liunian leaned on his waist and panted.

Xiang Yu:...

Why does it look like I have it in my stomach.

"Next time I'll make the sedan chair slower." Xiang Xun felt a little sorry, just anxious to hurry, forgetting that the other party was a weak scholar.

"Okay." Wen Liunian took a breath after finishing his clothes, "I'm fine."

"Sir, really don't take a break?" Xiang Li said, "You can have a cup of tea first."

"It's better to see the emperor." Wen Liunian said.

"Alright." Xiang Yu nodded and led him all the way to the Imperial Study Room.

"Master Wen is here." Duke Si Xi waited outside and smiled after seeing the two of them. "Please go in quickly. The emperor has been waiting."

"Thank you, father-in-law." Wen Liunian adjusted his sleeves and pushed the door into the imperial study room.

Wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, Chu Yuan was standing in the room waiting for him.

"The emperor." Wen Liunian bowed to worship, but was held back: "Aiqing doesn't need to be polite, sit down."

"Thank you, the emperor." Wen Liunian's legs and feet are still weak, and he really can't stand for long.

"I don't feel well?" Chu Yuan frowned slightly, "Why is his face so ugly."

"It's okay." Wen Liunian waved his hand and said bitterly, "When I came, the sedan chair walked too fast, so I was a little dizzy. It will be better if I rest for a while."

Chu Yuan laughed and asked Si Xi to bring him a cup of sour plum tea: "It seems that Palace Master Qin didn't teach you any martial arts when you were in Yunlan City."

Wen Liunian put down the tea cup in his hand: "The Taifu also said during the palace examination, that Xiaguan is a nerd." Since he is a nerd, his bones are naturally not strong, and it is normal to be dizzy.

"You are not a nerd, but I am the number one talented man in Great Chu." Chu Yuan sat back a few times after the case, "First, Yunlan City and then the Boundless City. I have stayed there for long enough. Since I came back this time. , I don't plan to let you go anymore."

Wen Liunian rubbed his nose. It was ten years before. I still want to go back to the boundless city.

"Look at this matter, how to deal with it." Chu Yuan handed him a memorial.

Wen Liunian received his hand and glanced at it. He said that due to the spring drought in Tangzhou this year, a lot of crops had died, causing the people to not have enough to eat. He urged the court to allocate food for emergency assistance. Page.

"Tangzhou is indeed short of rain this year." Wen Liunian said, "but it's not so bad that the people will not live so much."

"It's not far from your hometown." Chu Yuan said, "Previous years were bumper crops. This year there was only one drought. The crying poor Zhezi has already been delivered. They are all in accordance with this regulation, I am afraid that the people in the northwest will be early I starved to death for three or four rounds."

Wen Liunian was silent.

"Just say your opinion." Chu Yuan said, "Don't have any scruples, I just want to hear it."

"Yes." Wen Liunian said, "Although Tangzhou is not a major rice producing area, it can be said to be rich in fish and rice. Even in this year's drought, the people have no food in their homes, but there are many rice merchants and grain vendors in the local area. It is impossible for the local officials to be unclear about this. The reason why the Zhezi was sent to cry for the poor is that the court will not be able to adjust the surplus grain for a while, so as to pave the way for the price of rice to be raised in advance. It’s not uncommon to be full of private pockets. Even if the court wants to investigate, the other party will have a way to deal with it.

The so-called sky high and the emperor far, probably means this.

"So?" Chu Yuan smiled, "What should I do?"

"He wants rice, so give him rice." Wen Liunian said, "The hoarding of goods is nothing more than to make money. If the court really transports a large amount of food, no one will want their high-priced food rot in the warehouse. ."

"It's easy to say, for a while, where am I going to allocate food?" Chu Yuan raised his eyebrows.

"It's two different things to say that you want to adjust the grain, and to adjust the grain seriously." Wen Liunian said, "After receiving the imperial decree, I'm afraid that Tangzhou officials will open a warehouse and release the grain together with the local wealthy family if the emperor can't wait for the emperor to raise the grain." After all, rice is no better than gold or silver. After a long time, it will give birth to insects and mold, but there is nothing. Instead of rotten in the warehouse, it is better to sell it as soon as possible.

Chu Yuan laughed: "It's really the Tanhua Lang appointed by me back then."

Wen Liunian thought silently in his heart that the chosen second place was dismissed and exiled due to corruption in the fourth year.

"Where does Aiqing want to work?" Chu Yuan asked suddenly.

Wen Liunian was frightened and could still choose by himself.

"How about following the Taifu first?" Chu Yuan said, "As the prime minister, I will stay for Aiqing for two years."

Wen Liunian was dizzy.

Could this be too casual?

"If Aiqing doesn't say anything, I will assume that you have agreed." Chu Yuan raised the corner of his mouth to look at him.

Wen Liunian hurriedly stood up: "Xiaguan--"

"Don't kneel." Chu Yuan stepped forward and pulled him out, "eat first, and then I have a lot of things to discuss with Aiqing."

Wen Liunian said anxiously: "Xiaguan——"

"There are Aiqing's favorite dry-roasted shrimp and eight-treasure duck." Chu Yuan interrupted him again.

Wen Liunian:...

But, is this set? Haven't gone home to discuss with my man.

Chu Yuan is very frugal on weekdays. In order to entertain Wen Liunian, it is rare to break an example. A table full of sea cucumbers, abalones, swallow fins and fish maw was fried and fried, and there was also a golden and crispy roasted duck — When I saw the half-finished test paper that could only be described by the word "astounding", he broke the rules and announced the person to the palace. Asked the reason, Wen Liunian, who was only 16 years old at the time, scratched his face and said innocently. : "Because I ate too much roast duck." Anxiously went to the hut.

At that time, the civil and military courts of the Manchu Dynasty roared with laughter, and then it was the battle with the tongues of the enemy. Wen Liunian looked calm and spoken slowly, but his talent was first-class agile, citing classics to generalize a hundred officials. They blocked the past one by one, and finally made a promise with a smile, and the whole body was elegant and glorious.

Chu Yuan personally arranged dishes for him, and Wen Liunian was flattered, but he didn't know how to eat.

Looking at this posture, is it really impossible to leave?

Still thinking about going to eat white fish in the vast mountains and rivers.

"Aiqing is also twenty-three this year." Chu Yuan said, "Are there any girls you like?"

Wen Liunian shook his hand and half of the bamboo shoots fell on the table.

Do you want to take care of this? !
