Chinese dining table

Chapter 1264 Wu Chengsi loves Yunchu
Li Hong had been the crown prince for a long time, and naturally he developed some dignity as a superior.

Lou Shide still remembers how Li Hong looked when he first met him. He was a warm and sunny young man. When he smiled, his eyes were full of warmth, and people could not help but want to get close to him.

At that time, Crown Prince Li Hong was a very clean young man. This cleanliness was not only in appearance, but also in heart. Even if he personally participated in farming and got covered in mud, as long as he smiled and his eyes were full of sunshine, Lou Shide would wish to die for him.

Lou Shide had always wanted to protect Li Hong as a clean young man forever, but unfortunately, the bastard Yun Chu would not allow it. He repeatedly dug up all the abscesses in the world in front of Li Hong, letting the prince see the stench and filth of the abscesses clearly. Sometimes, he even asked the young man to get close to smell...

Liu Fangcheng's murder case... because of the uneven distribution of the family property, four brothers conspired to kill their parents. The eldest brother wanted to get more of the family property and joined forces with the fourth brother to kill the third and second brothers. As a result, the third and second brothers conspired to poison them. Then, the second and third brothers fought each other, leaving the third brother blind...

If it was just murder, it would be fine. But there was also a sexual offence involved. The eldest son's son was not his, but his father's. In fact, he was his brother. The fourth son had affairs with his two sisters-in-law. The second and third sons knew about it, but they kept it a secret for a long time for the sake of their family wealth. They pretended not to know. But when the incident finally broke out, the second and third sons chopped off the fourth son's limbs, dug out his eyes and cut off his tongue...

This unprecedented case in which the father is not the father, the son is not the son, the brother is not the brother, and the brother is not the brother, Yun Chu specially requested this case from the Dali Temple, as no one else was willing to try it for fear of tainting their own case, and it was brought over by Yun Chu to be tried by the Wannian County Court.

The presiding judge was Yun Chu, but the person who actually tried the case was the fourteen-year-old Crown Prince Li Hong.

When trying this case, Yun Chu's demands on Li Hong's trial were almost nitpicking. If there was even the slightest flaw, the case would be sent back for retrial. Yun Chu did not stop until this tragic human crime was clearly and accurately investigated by Li Hong like a scroll and slowly unfolded before the public.

Even so, Yun Chu still asked Li Hong to write down his thoughts and findings on this case...

Ever since Li Hong tried the case, the light in the young man's eyes was no longer pure. Yun Chu had no intention of letting the boy go. The more dirty the case was, the more Yun Chu asked the prince to handle it personally.

Later on, the more the prince hated a case, the more Yun Chu would ask him to try it. As a result, Lou Shide, who served as the prince's groom, saw more than once the prince's horrific appearance of suppressing his own roar in the study.

"One day, Yun Chu will die at the hands of the prince's ruthlessness."

This was the comment that Lou Shide made on Yun Chu's fate in the middle of the night when no one was around.

The last person who did this was King Wuling of Zhao. He was eventually imprisoned in Shaqiu Palace by his son King Huiwen of Zhao and starved to death.

When King Huiwen of Zhao was in power, he had famous ministers such as Lin Xiangru, Lian Po, Pingyuan Jun, Zhao She and so on. The politics was clear and the military force was so strong that even the powerful Qin State gave way to it.

It would be easy for Yun Chu to teach the prince in this way and produce a wise ruler. The problem is that this way of educating the prince is very time-consuming. The tutors of countless generations are not unaware of this effective way of education. The reason why they don't teach the prince in this way is because they don't want to.

However, Yun Chu was also a smart man. After the prince got married, he basically stopped interfering with any of his actions. It was obvious that he sensed the danger and withdrew early to give the Yun family a chance to get out safely.

Lou Shide felt it was a little late.

Because, tomorrow, the prince will go to the Da Ci'en Temple to pay homage to Empress Wen of the Tang Dynasty!

Before paying homage to Empress Wen, the prince went to Yun's house first. Although it was only a matter of order, it was a very serious issue and was almost like roasting Yun's house on fire.

This made Lou Shide very worried about the Yun family. On the surface, the prince seemed to respect the Yun family as always, and was even unwilling to interfere in Chang'an at this time.

But what? Did the prince really have no complaints about the Yun family's occupation of Chang'an?

That night, Lou Shide tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep. He really wanted to have a good talk with Yun Chu. He tossed and turned until dawn, but didn't know where to start.

Compared with Lou Shide's worries, after Zhang Jianzhi returned to his mansion, he asked his family to prepare some simple wine and food and sent them to the study. He closed the door and drank and ate alone. Although no one knew what he said to himself, in short, when he came out of the study the next day, his face was flushed, and the demeanor of a superior was enhanced a bit.

When the brothers Wu Chengsi and Wu Sansi entered Yunchu's official residence, they lifted their feet high. After entering, they did not say anything. They first used copper kettles to make two cups of tea for themselves, put rock sugar, dried fruits, and tea leaves in them, and drank it all in one gulp until the boiling hot tea corroded the yellow rock sugar. Then they bowed to Yunchu who was sitting behind the desk and said, "My lord, Xie Shilong, the scholar of the North Gate, wants to see you."

Yun Chu looked at the somewhat arrogant Wu brothers with a half-smile and said, "Who the hell is he? Is he worthy of you brothers to fight for him?"

Wu Chengsi said, "Xie Shilong is the Queen's secretary, and most of the memorials and documents sent to the Queen are written by him. Although my brother and I are the Queen's closest relatives, we are far inferior in terms of influencing the Queen's decision-making."

Yun Chu pondered for a moment, then shook his head firmly and said, "In times of storm, it's better to have less trouble than more. I'll see you!"

Wu Sansi seemed to have anticipated Yun Chu's reaction, and said with a cupped hand: "The Queen has no ill will towards you, my Lord."

Yun Chu sighed and said, "Since the first time I met the Queen in the third year of Yonghui, the relationship between Yun and the Queen has not been good, but it is not bad either. Even if there are some disputes, they are just different political views, and it is far from the point where they want to hate each other.

So let's keep it like this."

Wu Chengsi said, "My Lord, that's you. If it were any other minister of the Tang Dynasty, the Queen would not treat you so politely. Even if My Lord is unwilling to see Shilong, I still have to give an explanation to the Queen."

Yun Chu smiled bitterly and said, "Now even you brothers dare to force me. If I continue to be shameless, I will probably end up seeking my own death.

Well, since what you brothers said are all good advice, I will let you be proud for once."

After saying that, he stood up and spread a piece of white paper on the table, picked up the pen and said to Wu Chengsi: "I have been feeling depressed recently and often drink alone. Now that the Queen has asked about this, I will express my feelings in a poem and give the Queen an explanation."

Upon hearing that Yun Chu was going to write a poem, Wu Chengsi and Wu Sansi immediately came to Yun Chu's desk, one holding the paper while the other helped grind the ink.

Yun Chu thought for a moment, then picked up the pen and wrote on the paper - Drinking Alone Under the Moon.

Yun Chu had just finished writing these four words when Wu Chengsi sighed and said, "Do you really want to drink alone?"

Yun Chu did not answer, but wrote quickly, and in a few moments a long poem in five-character verse appeared on the paper.

A pot of wine in the flower room, no blind date alone.

Toast Mingyue, and Yingying became three people.

The month does not drink, the shadow follower follows me.

For the time being with the moon, Xingle must be in spring.

I linger on the moon, my dancing is chaotic.

Woke up with lovers, scattered after drunk.

Yongjie ruthless tour, phase Yun Yunhan.

After Wu Sansi read it once, he looked at Yun Chu with an incomprehensible look, and said after a long while: "Your Excellency has Chang'an, and Chang'an has your Excellency. We will be together in life and death, and I will live with you. This cannot be considered drinking alone."

Wu Chengsi still felt a little reluctant, and said softly: "Your Excellency is very talented, why don't you write another one."

Yun Chu put the brush into the brush washer, shook his head and said: "Since we want to cover Chang'an with brocade, then we must cover it. A real man must do what he says."

Wu Sansi said, "Your Excellency, you risked your life to gain this achievement, and now you don't want it anymore?"

Yun Chu smiled and said, "I was originally just a soldier in the Western Regions. I was lucky enough to survive the war. As for my later achievements, they were just the product of the right time, right place and right people. The emperor has loved me for more than 20 years, the prince has respected me for more than 20 years, and the queen has treated me well for more than 20 years. Although I am not the best minister, compared with the giants of the Tang Dynasty, it is a wonder that Yun Chu still has some favor from the emperor.

Today, although the situation is a little difficult, Yun feels that the more it is at this time, the more we must stick to our original intention. Since my family's original intention is to cover Chang'an with gold foil, then we should not change it, so as not to disappoint the royal family and be laughed at by others. "

Wu Chengsi said softly: "The prince has evil thoughts towards you, my Lord."

Yun Chu closed his eyes, with a hint of pain on his face, and then he smiled, as if he didn't take the matter to heart.

The Wu brothers left the Wannian County Government Office with the poem written by Yun Chu and came to Chang'an Inn without any disguise.

Xie Shilong opened the paper written by Yun Chu and praised it after reading it: "When it comes to writing poems, Yun Chu can be said to be the best in the Tang Dynasty. When it comes to being tough, Yun Chu can also be considered to be on the list in the Tang Dynasty court."

Wu Sansi sneered and said, "It's a bit ignorant of the current situation."

Xie Shilong said with a smile: "A minister should still have the character of a minister."

Wu Chengsi asked, "Like Shangguan Yi flying on the street?"

Xie Shilong waved his hand and said, "The Tang Dynasty needs such a minister of character to decorate its image. You brothers must not speak ill of him just because he is unwilling to side with the queen."

Wu Chengsi said: "Logically, Yun Chu and my brother have a deep blood feud, but seeing that he has fallen into such a situation where everyone is calling for his death, my brother can't even bear to hate him."

Xie Shilong sighed and said, "The Queen is in Shandong and has defeated the Crown Prince in Hebei. Guanzhong and Longyou have become the places that must be fought for. The Crown Prince failed to persuade Yun Chu with the position of future Grand Tutor. The conditions that the Queen can offer are not as good as those of the Crown Prince. It is natural to refuse.

Now, neither the Crown Prince nor the Queen is willing to take the initiative to attack Yun Chu. This is the difficulty.

Brother, you have followed Yun Chu for many years, do you have any opinion on this matter?"

Wu Sansi was about to speak when he heard Wu Chengsi say, "My brothers will follow the lead of Master Jie."

Xie Shilong nodded with satisfaction and said, "Very good."

The Wu brothers said goodbye and left the inn. The two horses rode side by side on Zhuque Street. Wu Sansi then said to Wu Chengsi, "Brother, Yunchu has been arrogant and domineering over the years and has done countless wrong things. Why don't you take this opportunity to advise the queen?"

Wu Chengsi touched the back of his head and said, "I have thought countless times about knocking Yun Chu down and then trampling on him with ten thousand feet. The best dream I have ever had in my life is not to hold the goddess in my arms, but to punch Yun Chu in the nose and watch him bleed from his nose... But, whether I was awake or in a dream, I never thought about seeing Yun Chu's head fall to the ground.

I am happy to see him in bad luck, happy to see him being trampled into the dust, happy to see him down and out, and happy to throw a gold coin to Yun Chu when he is begging.

I also want to see him holding the golden judge with tears of gratitude.

I really can't bear to see such a wonderful person like him die!"

Wu Sansi swallowed his saliva and said, "So, we brothers will just stand by and watch?"

Wu Chengsi waved his hand and said, "If he is really unlucky, we can help him out if necessary."
