It took half a month to clean up the bloodstains on Ziliang Street, and there were still burnt and blackened painting boats moored on both sides of the Zhijin River.

King Yu ordered a curfew to be enforced in order to hunt down the barbarians lurking in the city, and the people on the street became more anxious, and there were not many people in the evening before it arrived.

There was a wind tearing off the "Guild Edict" that was not posted on the notice board on the street. After a gust of wind, it swirled and flew away.

"Forget it, forget it, there will be a new one tomorrow, and it's time for the emperor to issue an imperial edict."

The little yamen servant gave up. Thinking of the content of the imperial edicts issued in the past few days, his teeth were itchy with hatred. He wanted to scold but didn't dare to scold, so he let out a "bah" and asked his companion in a low voice: "You? ...Why did His Royal Highness King Yu become the regent? Is it not good to be a prince?"

"Who knows what those big shots think..." The companion shook his head, and replied in a low voice, "But I heard from my cousin who works in Prince Yu's Mansion that the prince thinks the Prince's Mansion is dirty."

The little yamen servant gave another "bah" sound, "It's dirty! Didn't the deposed prince say that the car would be broken? When will the execution be executed?! When? I'll go see it too!"

"After that day, in this city of Yongjing, who doesn't have a relative who died at the hands of barbarians? You? You can't squeeze in even if you want to see it? Go!" Companion said angrily: "But I heard that the prince is waiting That Lord Gu who went to the enemy camp for him is back, let him watch the ceremony and relieve his hatred."

"Oh I got it……"

Actually? Shao Yunlang and others are not Gu Yuanzheng, and they don't think it is necessary to show Gu Yuanzheng this thing.

Gu Yuanzheng's eyes were dirty for no reason.

The person he was waiting for was Shen Rui.

On the day when the city was broken, Shi Ce ran out from the western suburbs, and wanted to take a detour back to Qingzhou, so Shen Rui went after him. Counting the days, it is almost time to come back in these two days.

Shao Yunlang has no interest in whether Shi Ce is dead or alive. He has a pile of government affairs in his hands, he is so busy, he goes to bed later than a dog, and wakes up earlier than a chicken the next day - is he going to work? towards.

Even if he was practicing in the southwest, he never got up so early.Now that he doesn't live in the palace, he has to get up early, change clothes and ride a horse. Only now does Shao Yunlang know that adults who are so beautiful in front of others complain about getting up early in private.

When he takes the throne, the meeting time will be postponed by one or two days.

After going to court, he still had to read the official document handed over by the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies. After reading halfway through, several adults from the Ministry of Rites came to discuss with him the enthronement ceremony in March.

Shao Yunlang meant to keep everything simple, and the adults who heard it shook their heads, crying and saying that this matter is related to Guozuo, and they must not be sloppy.

Shao Yunlang thought it was quite funny. It is said that when Emperor Qing'an came to the throne, the grand ceremony lasted for a month, and a rainstorm knocked down the red silk flowers used for decoration, and the entire Jinzhi River was covered with bright colors. Someone wrote a poem praising this magnificent scene, what's going on now?That poem has become an ironclad proof of Emperor Qing'an's extravagance and waste, and children in the streets and alleys are singing it.

So? What does Guo Zuo have to do with the enthronement ceremony?It's nothing more than the Ministry of Rites wants to get more benefits.

But when the water is clear, there will be no fish. Shao Yunlang also understands this? He didn't say anything to these adults, but he was really afraid that they would be angered by the anger. After some discussions, he finally decided on seven days.

As for the year...

Shao Yunlang wanted to leave it to Gu Yuanzheng to make plans for him.

I don't know if Mr. Gu's return journey will be smooth or not, his head is getting dizzy looking at this pile of official documents.

After finally dismissing the group of elders, Shao Yunlang picked up the soft pillows on the couch one by one, formed a comfortable pile of pillows, and was about to spread himself out to work when his personal guards rushed in again.

"My lord! Master Shen has brought back the prince and his party! But the man said he must see you? On the one hand...Master Shen asked his subordinates to come down and ask what you mean?"

Shao Yunlang who just took off his boots: "..."

……

Shi Ce was thrown into the prison by Shen Rui. When Shao Yunlang passed by, Shen Rui had just come out of the cell, and the jailer was holding a copper basin for him to wash his hands.

Shao Yunlang glanced at the blood in the copper basin.

Shen Rui turned his head to the side, the blue and black stubble on his chin and the bloodshot eyes were exhausted, he wiped his hands, bowed and saluted: "See you, my lord."

Shao Yunlang patted him on the shoulder with one hand, and sighed: "Go back and rest? Let's go and see Xuan'er too. I heard that in the past two days, he has been shouting "Looking for you?"

Hearing Zhuang Hexuan's name, Shen Rui's eyes moved slowly, he took two steps, stopped suddenly, and said in a low voice: "My lord, I know that the dog thief named Shi was once your childhood playmate. , but "If you intercede for him, I will not agree."

Shao Yunlang didn't turn his head back, but said calmly: "Didn't Xiaosi grow up with this king? And this king is here today? This is also to settle an old score with him."

He opened the door and went in, and saw Shi Ce hanging on the torture rack.

Shen Ruiying didn't want him to die so quickly. There were no major wounds on Shi Ce's body, but his fingertips were nailed into wooden wedges and the lute bone was pierced.

There is no soundproofing in this big prison, he should have heard Shao Yunlang's words "to settle old scores", and at this moment watching? Shao Yunlang's eyes gradually turned to despair.

Shao Yunlang stood far away?

He was born dignified and handsome, but now that he has been in the top position for a long time, he has cultivated a dignified appearance. Even though the black brocade casual robe is a bit old, it is still held up by his tall and straight figure, and even the waist hanging on his chest The curly hair ends are glowing? A little shimmer.

It is incompatible with this dark and cramped dungeon.

Shi Ce hadn't seen him for seven years, so he didn't dare to recognize him for a while, but after a while, he said, "Xiao Wu...I..."

"Shi Ce." Shao Yunlang interrupted him, "You? A prisoner? How should you address me?"

After a long silence in the cell, Shi Ce called out, "Your Highness."

Seeing that Shao Yunlang had no intention of speaking, Shi Ce pleaded: "Your Highness! I was forced! It was not my intention to murder the Rui County King! They are all waste princes! He threatened my parents, I have no choice... "

"You? Give me a way to live! Give me a way to live! As long as I can go out alive, I'll be shaved into a family! Use the rest of my life to pray for the little county king! I beg him to join a good family in the next life! Your Highness..."

What interrupted his crying was Shao Yunlang's sneer.

"He is for the country and the people, and he should have joined a good family in his next life." Shao Yunlang's eyes gradually revealed the hatred of Senhan. He walked forward slowly, stood in front of Shi Ce, and said coldly: "But? You? The sin you want to atone for is not the only one."

Those brown eyes seemed to have seen Shi Ce through. He was shaking uncontrollably, pulling the lute bone on his back, and suddenly sweating? Averted his eyes.

He lowered his head and said, "What is your Highness talking about...I don't understand."

"Don't understand?" Shao Yunlang smiled. He paced around the cell, and finally stood in front of the various instruments of torture. He picked up a soldering iron, looked at it for a while, and hung it back on the wall. "My lord asks you "You? When did the Shi family become the prince's party?"

There was a crisp sound when the soldering iron collided with the mottled brick wall, Shi Ce shook, and said in a low voice, "How many months ago..."

"It was seven years ago?" Shao Yunlang said, "You? So you put all this matter on the king's head? It diverted Shao Yunting's anger, right?"

Shi Ce's pupils trembled violently. He wanted to say something, but his throat was so tense at this moment that he lost his voice.

"Heh..." Shao Yunlang turned around, his eyes fell on his bloody fingers, "It's a pity, a pity, Shen Rui didn't leave any of them for me. After so many years, I always think of Yanhou's family , all sleepless nights, tossing and turning, always can not figure out, who leaked the identity of the king, let Shao Yunting's mad dog bite? Among the earth and kun, unexpectedly it is the king's good brother, younger brother."

He met Shi Ce's eyes again, "Now, do you still want to plead?"

Shi Ce's lips trembled, and he began to pant heavily.

"The reminiscences are over, you? Let's enjoy a few days here."

Shao Yunlang turned and pushed the door open.

"How did I know that Shao Yunting would be so cruel?!" Shi Ce suddenly said loudly: "You? We are brothers! I thought? You? Will be fine! You? You are still the prince! How can he take you? How?! How do I know that everyone wants your life? I wanted to save you! It was you? If you didn’t go with me! If you followed me back then, how would I be today?! You? Don’t go!! Your Highness!!”

Shao Yunlang paused, and said to the jailer who came up to him: "It's too noisy, cut off your tongue, remember to hang your life with medicine, don't turn around and die, Mr. Shen should settle accounts with me."

"Yes." The jailer led the order and went in.

After leaving the gate of the dungeon, Shao Yunlang told the guards not to get too close, he wanted to walk by himself.

The willows in front of the criminal department have shed their leaves, and they are soft under the feet, and the remaining branches hang down bare, long and thin, like countless cracks, cutting off the sight ahead.

The autumn wind is bleak, and the air inhaled into the lungs is a little cold, but it also refreshes the spirit.

He has been driven by tigers and wolves all these years. He never dared to stop moving forward. Overcoming thorns and thorns, he did not dare to indulge himself in emotions. Now that everything has finally settled, the fate of the guilty is enough to comfort those people. In the spirit of heaven.

It's good to just indulge in this cup of tea, let him also think about what those people who left would be like if they were still there.

Walking along the small path, brushing away the willow branches, the end of the path suddenly opened up, and there was a person sitting in a wheelchair, with a clear silhouette, and an indigo blanket was draped over his legs.

He was sitting in front of a wonton stall, stretching out his hand to pass the copper plate to the lady who sold wontons. Curly steam rose from the pot, wetted his sleeves a little, and made his eyebrows and eyes more moist. Qingjun.

People passing by would always take a look at him, even if he was not good enough, it would make all the girls and boys passing by blush.

Shao Yunlang's eyes fell on him for too long, and the man finally looked back as if he felt something, some surprise appeared in his black eyes, as if he was asking: Why did you get out of the small woods if you don't go on a good road? ?coming?

Shao Yunlang laughed suddenly, walked over with big strides, bent over and picked up Gu Yuanzheng's knees, supported Gu Yuanzheng's back with one hand, and hugged him horizontally.

It's just that it took a bit of effort to get up, and I almost threw Mr. Gu into the wonton pot.

Gu Yuanzheng was really taken aback by him, hooked his neck helplessly, and couldn't help laughing: "What's the matter?"

"Just now? Thinking about? Stealing a cup of tea. After a while, I ran into Mr. Gu..." Shao Yunlang said with a smile: "Doesn't this mean that it's okay? I've been sneaking away? I have to hurry up Is this a laborer who doesn’t need money and takes him back to the palace? Yes.”

"No money, just pay with meat." Gu Yuanzheng said something obscene on his face, raised his finger and pointed to the side of the road: "The carriage is over there."
