Shuoyun Feidu

Beitang Rongdu accompanied Beitang Zunyue to play for a day before returning to his palace. In the early morning of the next day, Beitang Rongdu went to court on time. After a little processing, all the officials were waiting to leave the court, but suddenly there was only one person holding a wat board in his hand, it was a royal historian, he stepped out of the team, and said: "...Your Majesty, I have a request." Beitang Venerable Gao Gao sat on the dragon chair, waved his hands when he heard the words, and obviously said casually: "...Say."

I saw that the man's beard and hair were slightly gray, and he looked about 50 years old. He bowed and said, "I impeached the King of Chu today, and the Kuanzong sect ran rampant in Beijing! On the twelfth of last month, two shops in Baozun Street were forcibly bought and occupied." On the 25th, because the King of Chu likes to play polo on weekdays, the people of the Qing Palace want to build a new polo field, flatter them, and force them to buy the old house of Liu’s family, a grain merchant in the south of the city... Please give me your majesty’s order!"

As soon as this remark came out, there was an uproar all over the court. The courtiers were not surprised that there would be all kinds of bad deeds under Beitang Rongdu's sect. Frankly speaking, the impeachment of the prince is the reason why all the officials are surprised. Beitang Rongdu is Beitang's Zunyue beloved son, who has always been a noble family, who would dare to oppose him?But today, the censor stretched out his hand to stroke the tiger's beard, which was equivalent to hitting Beitang Rongdu in the face on the spot, making his face dull, how could Beitang Rongdu stop?

Sure enough, Beitang Rongdu in the team immediately darkened his face when he heard what the censor said, two sharp eyes turned on the doctor censor, and suddenly he sneered slightly, and at the same time He strode out, holding the jade wat in his hand, and said in a deep voice: "...what else, I have said it all together, and this king will take it with all my strength!" Admonish the king for his faults, dare to blame the officials for their mistakes, even Beitang Zunyue has been admonished by him, and he is quite respected on weekdays. , Seriously said: "Beijing is at the foot of the emperor. As the first-rank prince of Daqing Chao, the eldest son of His Majesty, the prince should really set an example for all officials! Please also restrain the subordinates, and stop doing ridiculous things in the future!"

Before the words finished, Beitang Rongdu's voice contained a hint of anger, and he strode forward suddenly, with his hands folded in his sleeves, he sneered twice, and said abruptly: "...Forcibly occupy? Forced to buy? It's all nonsense! Those two shops gave enough money, and as for Liu's old house, I didn't lose a single copper coin, and I didn't take half of their advantage, so why do you say 'oppressive'?" Then the conversation turned around, a pair of long and narrow phoenix eyes stared straight at the imperial censor, his handsome face was filled with a gloomy look, and he said in a low voice: "The rotten Confucianism is messing up the country, I'm afraid the world will not be chaotic! Sir Yu listens and believes, and slanders me indiscriminately." You are guilty of the reputation of the current prince!"

After hearing what Beitang Rongdu said, Yu Yushi's face turned red with anger, and he stepped forward without giving in, and said to Beitang Zunyue, "... Your Majesty, please learn from me!" Beitang Rongdu He also looked at Yu Yushi with a sneer, and at the same time bowed upwards and said: "Those who don't know who is up and down, who listen to and believe in one side, should be given a court stick to correct the court atmosphere... Please be my father and emperor call the shots!"

Seeing this, all the officials couldn't help whispering and discussing in secret. For a while, only a humming sound could be heard in the hall. Venerable Beitang sat on the throne, his eyes were deep, and he frowned and scolded: "...that's enough, What kind of decency is it above the court!" Immediately after beating and reprimanding the two of them, the matter was lightly exposed, and all the officials saw this, knowing that the emperor was partial, but they couldn't say anything.

After the court dispersed for a while, Beitang Rongdu flicked his sleeves and walked away. Yin Zhibai walked out together with him, and said with a smile: "Beitang, you are somewhat reckless today..." Beitang Rong Du snorted angrily, and said: "...This gang of sour scholars, I have always been the most annoying to them, and I just don't want to let go of any trivial matter. !" Yin Zhibai smiled and said: "Forget it, why bother to get angry with these literati, come and go, come and sit in my house, I have a batch of newly purchased maikos, all of which are rare beauties." The two of them were talking, and they got into the sedan chair for a while, Beitang Rongdu signaled a guard next to him to come forward, and gave a few instructions in a low voice, the man took the order, and Dang even took two people away in secret.

The singers in the hall relax their throats, the dancers dance lightly, all of them are as beautiful as flowers, Beitang Rongdu sits at the head, and greets Yin Zhibai with wine, during which Yin Zhibai holds a glass of wine, suddenly turns to look at Beitang Rong Du, said: "...Then Yu Ronghua has been pregnant for several months now, and it won't be long before she will give birth. Beitang, do you care about it?" Just looking at the beauties in the hall, Yin Zhibai is a staunch supporter of his faction, and there is not much to hide in front of the other party, so he just said indifferently: "...This king has decided to follow the example of Emperor Wu and Gouge. Madam's business!"

As soon as these words came out, Yin Zhibai was so smart, his eyes lit up for a moment, but after a while, he smiled very slightly and nodded slowly. What Beitang Rongdu was referring to at this time was naturally not that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Mrs. Gouge were being talked about It is not a romantic anecdote of Taoism, but later it is similar to the incident of "keeping the son and leaving the mother"!The rise and fall of Yin Zhibai's entire family has long been tied to Beitang Rongdu, so naturally he absolutely does not want to see anyone or anything that poses the slightest threat to Beitang Rongdu's interests. In fact, he can see it Although Beitang Rongdu has a desire for power, he is also very measured and knows how to control himself. The most important thing is that Beitang Rongdu never interferes with the military power and the military power of the emperor's inner palace. This is what makes him choose Beitang Rongdu An important reason for never wavering - choosing a smart person with a level head is a completely different matter from choosing a smart person who has too much ambition and doesn't know how to control it.

Beitang Rongdu stayed in Yin Zhibai's mansion until noon, and then went out of the mansion to get on the sedan chair, and headed towards the east of the city. He had just returned to the Qing Palace when Shen Hanyan happened to be in his bedroom and saw Beitang Rongdu reeking of alcohol. When he came back, he put down the mutton fat jade carving he was playing with, got up and said with a smile: "Why, I seem to have drunk a lot of wine." Several palace people came over to help Beitang Rongdu take off his outer court clothes, and took them quickly. Putting on his crown and changing into a homely white gauze jacket, Beitang Rongdu rinsed his mouth with half a cup of strong tea, and cooled his face with a cold towel. Then he sat down and said casually: "...in Zhibai We chatted there for a while, and drank some wine by the way." Shen Hanyan was dressed in a lake blue silk dress, covered with an ivory white shirt, and saw simplicity, not luxury, and just smiled when he heard the words, and walked to the North Hall Behind Rong Du, he put one hand on his shoulder, and after a while, he said: "Today I heard that you were impeached by the imperial censor at the court meeting, did you quarrel with him? After the court was over, the imperial censor's sedan chair suddenly fell down. , the whole person fell out of the sedan chair in the street, attracting many people to watch..."

Beitang Rongdu leaned back, yawned and said, "The news spread really fast..." Shen Hanyan lightly tapped Beitang Rongdu's shoulder with his fan, and said with a smile, "Is it you? People made a big scandal in the street." Beitang Rongdu smiled, without denying it, Shen Hanyan exhaled lightly, and said: "Beitang, you are a bit domineering like this...I'm afraid people will discuss it." Beitang Rongdu closed his eyes and did not speak for a while. After a while, he slowly opened his eyes and said, "Han Yan, tell me, who is this king?" He still said: "You are the first-character prince of Daqing Chao Yipin, the eldest son of His Majesty today." Beitang Rongdu said softly: "Yes, this king is... Han Yan, have you read it in the book? The great general Wang Jian led the way back then. The army destroyed Chu. Before sending troops, they put forward conditions to the king of Qin, asking for land, money, and houses. When they reached Hangu Pass, they were about to leave Guanzhong. They sent people back to Beijing and asked for land, houses, and money again. , After Yingzheng has met all the requirements, he will lead his troops to conquer Chu."

Hearing this, Shen Hanyan's face moved slightly, and he understood eight or nine points, so he hesitated and said: "Beitang, what do you mean..." Beitang Rongdu smiled, took a sip of tea, and continued Said: "Xiao He, the famous prime minister in the early Han Dynasty, made great contributions and made the most contributions. In the 12th year of the Han Dynasty, Ying Bu rebelled, and Liu Bang led his troops to suppress the rebellion. Boiling... When Empress Lu was in power, Chen Ping, the Prime Minister of Zuo, drank and played with women all day long, and Empress Lu was not only not annoyed when she heard people complaining, but she even favored her." When Beitang Rongdu said this, there was a glimmer of light in his eyes , said in a deep voice: "Wang Jian, Xiao He, and Chen Ping, these three are all top talents for a while, don't they know the importance of fame? But Wang Jian led 60 troops, which is the army of the whole country of Qin, how can King Qin rest assured? But he blindly asked for money and land, showing greed, but instead was rich and peaceful all his life; But there is no doubt anymore; Chen Ping loves wine and women, and doesn't care about the government, but later he and others wiped out the Lu family... They are pouring dirty water on themselves, self-defeating, in order to avoid making great achievements! One has no shortcomings, How can a person who holds great power in his hands be reassuring!"

Some remarks that must not be humane to outsiders eloquently uttered, although Shen Hanyan had already guessed the general idea, but he was still shocked, and couldn't help being silent for a while, Beitang Rongdu let out a long breath, and rolled the Pulling his fingers, his face seemed to be a little tired, and he lowered his voice, and said slowly: "This king is talking about merit. He has made countless achievements in the battlefield. In terms of ability, it is obvious to all. In terms of power, I am afraid that other than this king himself, everyone else I can't even figure it out, in terms of power and position, it is the eldest son of the emperor, the prince... If you add that the character is perfect and everyone praises it, then even the king himself will feel worried and uneasy!"

Shen Hanyan kept silent, but at some point, his palms were slightly damp. For a while, the room was so quiet that there was no sound at all. After a while, Shen Hanyan looked down at Beitang Rongdu, and put one hand on the He pressed slightly on his shoulder, and said: "...Beitang, could it be that you have changed? I remember that you and the emperor have always had a very deep relationship, so how could it really be that way? Think about it." Beitang Rongdu raised his hand and patted the back of Shen Hanyan's hand, and slowly rubbed his forehead with the other hand, and said in a low voice: "My king hasn't changed, and neither has my father...but Han Yan, don't forget that in the past, this king was the young master of Unsheltered Fort, and his father was the owner of Unsheltered Fort, but now, this king is the Prince of Daqing, and his father is the emperor... Also, before this king was the only How old? But now, this king is already, fully grown up, and is truly an adult."

Beitang Rongdu shook his head and said: "The king and father have not changed, but their identities have changed... It is true that they are father and son, but they are also monarchs and ministers!" He stood up, walked to the window and pushed it open. It was a little bigger, and let the wind blow in: "... Let everyone think that this king is domineering and arrogant. Young people, you are always arrogant and have a noble status. It is understandable, but there will definitely be criticisms." Anyway, I don’t care about reputation, it’s no big deal.” Shen Hanyan surrounded Beitang Rongdu from behind, silently sniffing the fragrance in his hair, in fact, Shen Hanyan knew that he was willing to do everything for this person Speaking of things, Beitang Rongdu's feelings have always been indifferent. Compared with it, Mu Qingping seems to be a flame of passion. For the one she loves, she can make bold choices without hesitation , never look back, and always try to show his best side in front of him, but unfortunately, although he is not untouched, he does not have the feeling that Beitang Zunyue brought him.

There was a pleasant smell of flowers in the wind, Shen Hanyan thought of something, lowered his eyes, and sighed slightly: "...Beitang, if you feel very tired, maybe... Actually, I mean, not to say, What kind of achievements you have made, how much power you have, and what kind of status you have, you can reflect your own value... For me, no matter what time you are, you will always be Beitang Rongdu, In my eyes, it is unique and indispensable." After hearing this, Beitang Rongdu pressed Shen Hanyan's hand on his waist, and smiled softly: "...This king is actually just planning for a rainy day. At that point...Han Yan, you don't have to worry." Shen Hanyan also smiled, but didn't speak, he didn't know what was going on in his mind, since the two were married couples, naturally Beitang Rongdu was in his Generally, there is nothing that cannot be said in front of him, so Beitang Rongdu turned around, embraced Shen Hanyan's shoulders, and said: "Actually, it's nothing, the relationship between father and this king, is it right? It will change, but it is the emperor's family after all, some things are always inevitable, after all, it is impossible to be the same as the father and son of ordinary people."

Shen Hanyan smiled slightly, looked at Beitang Rongdu who was close at hand, and said in a harmonious voice: "I know all of this... If you have anything to say in the future, just tell me, even if I can't help you, but At least I can listen to you well, so that you won't be alone in your heart." Beitang Rongdu smiled and said: "Okay, I know what you know best, if I don't want to tell you, who else can I tell you? ?”
