The more you wear your sister

"That's right." Chu Feng nodded, "Forbearance will be able to calm down, otherwise the entire Dachen Jiangshan will be in a precarious situation."

"Could it be that, as long as the time doesn't come, no matter how the five big families make trouble, he will continue to be a turtle? And it's fine if he can't shrink back, and what kind of trouble are we going to do if we are not allowed to deal with the Wang family?" Doesn't it feel like the emperor is a pig teammate?

"This situation won't last for too long." Chu Feng said, propping his chin, "In the past ten years, the five major families have become richer and richer, but the Dachen State Treasury is so poor that it can hardly afford the officials' salaries. , These unscrupulous and profiteers have not only failed to bring benefits to the country, but also made the lives of the people more difficult. Anyone with a discerning eye knows that if the cancer of the five major families is not removed, Da Chen will not be able to get rid of the predicament in front of him for a day .In my opinion, the emperor is ready to attack them."

"……How did you get it?"

"First of all, this overly tolerant attitude is unusual in itself. If the emperor intends to continue to coexist with the five major families, he should try his best to suppress their overreaching behavior, let them know how to restrain themselves, and not excessively endanger the court and the community. But the emperor is like this Playing foolishly again and again to make peace with others, and constantly accommodating traitors, is clearly to avoid intimidating others." Chu Feng said, "Leaving aside other signs, the emperor asked you to go to the south of the Yangtze River this time. But how do you declare it to the outside world?"

Of course I remember that Yang Xi not only asked me to show my presence everywhere, let as many people as possible know of my existence as "Heavenly Auspiciousness", but also gave me another task.

He said that there have been nursery rhymes circulating in the south of the Yangtze River recently. I don’t remember the specific content. In short, they are all saying that the Chen Dynasty violated the law of heaven. It is not scientific for a person like Yang Xi to be an emperor. Everyone They should rise up and rebel or something.To say that nursery rhymes in ancient times were a very influential weapon of public opinion, and of course such "reactionary" nursery rhymes were not created by babbling children themselves, and there must be conspiracy behind them.

What Yang Xi meant was to ask me to check this matter while I was on a trip, but I was very dissatisfied that a good trip turned into a business trip, Yang Xi seemed to see my displeasure, so she Tell me, if you have a chance, check it out, it doesn't matter if you can't find it.

Now that he said so, I immediately threw this matter out of the sky very simply, and made up my mind to carry out the sabotage to the end.But on the surface, my trip to the south of the Yangtze River is still a serious business trip.

"Looking at the current form, those nursery rhymes instigating rebellion are most likely related to the five major families. The emperor asked you to go to the south of the Yangtze River to investigate this matter with such great fanfare. Do you have a lot of spirit to guard against you? In this way, wouldn’t it be a lot of resistance for you to investigate in depth? The emperor also knows this, so he is so lenient with your requirements. He doesn’t mind whether you contribute, and he doesn’t expect you to be serious Find out something, because his original intention is to use your clear chess to cover up other dark chess—for example, the imperial envoy who can't see the end of the dragon."

Then I understood: "But in this way, the five major families will point all their spearheads at me. Don't we become a target to attract firepower?"

"That's what it means." Chu Feng nodded.

"It's cheating! This is the rhythm that wants my life!" I wailed.

"That's why the emperor sent 500 elite guards to protect you. Don't think that [-] people are just a small number. It will take a lot of manpower and material resources to arrange and dispatch all the way down the road, welcome and send people to eat horse chews. If you don't know this trip Dangerous, with the imperial court's attitude of saving what you can, it's enough to give you a guard of honor to support your facade."

Seeing that I was depressed, Chu Feng turned to comfort me and said: "You have a magic weapon to protect your body, you are also protected by elite soldiers from the imperial court, and now you have a large number of believers among the common people. No one can hurt you."

I nodded, although I have been in danger several times and know that Chu Feng is not omnipotent, but I still want to believe that he will protect me.

"But... the emperor wants to tolerate traitors and forbid us to touch the five major families. Can we just be beaten passively like this?" I don't want to live a life where people are plotting and murdering every day.

"With the emperor's order here right now, we can only bear with it for the time being. But in my opinion, if we back off this step, Wang Yi will definitely not stop here, and he will definitely push forward to offend again." There was a hint in his tone With a hint of killing intent, "There is an old saying that generals will not accept military orders abroad. If he really goes too far, the emperor can't blame us for 'excessive self-defense'."

"I'm most worried about him." Can I say that I haven't recovered from the blow of this IQ emperor?

"I don't think this person is worth worrying about." Chu Feng smiled relaxedly.

"But we've all been played like this by him!"

Chu Feng calmly poured a cup of tea and said, "Although we suffered from him once, we know that he is not a very powerful person just by seeing how sharp he is."

For such a theory, I can only sincerely say: "I don't understand."

"If you think about King Ning, you will know." Chu Feng said, "King Ning's intelligence is by no means inferior to this person, and after getting along with you for a long time, the flaws you exposed in front of him must be far more than that. I am afraid that King Ning can only guess a lot more than Wang Yi. But King Ning will never reveal these things, let alone make people feel like they are on his back, and he wants to get rid of them quickly. When he is as wise as a fool, as clever as a clumsy, he knows how to restrain his sharpness. But Wang Yi clearly guessed that you are not a mortal, but he still uses such tricks to annoy you and show off his intelligence, so his intelligence is only It's just a little cleverness. No matter what his ultimate goal is, since he can make you raise [-] points of vigilance to guard against him, you have already lost more than half of it."

Having said that, I really think that Wang Yi is nothing to be afraid of. He is not only one or two grades behind old foxes like Yang Jue, Yang Xi, and Xie Jin, even Chu Feng is smarter than him.

What Chu Feng lacks now is some experience and experience. If Chu Feng is also at his age, he will be able to play him to death several times.So in fact, what is the little plug-in of the invisibility bead? I have Chu·Zhen·24k·Pure Gold Finger·Seal Body, which is the real peace of mind.

That being the case, I will not worry about these things for the time being, and will obediently follow the emperor's instructions the next day, and continue to travel to the south of the Yangtze River.

When Chu Feng took the boat again, the degree of seasickness was much better than the previous tragic situation. We took the boat for a few days, and went south to Bianzhou by land.

I won’t go into details about the trivial matters during the period. Here again, time flies and time flies. After walking for more than half a month, we came to Hangzhou, where there is heaven above and Suzhou and Hangzhou below.

At this time, the grass is growing and the warbler is flying, and the beautiful spring is March, the most beautiful season in Hangzhou in a year.Compared with the urbanized provincial capitals I have seen in modern times, Suzhou and Hangzhou in this era have a natural charm of a water town in the south of the Yangtze River. ("Jiangnan water town" is already a word that can only be understood by personal experience in my opinion, so a thousand-character description of the scenery is omitted here.)

In the history of my time and space, Hangzhou became prosperous after the Southern Song Dynasty became the temporary capital, but in this Chen Dynasty, which was a little earlier than the Song Dynasty, Hangzhou was just a "small place" with beautiful scenery.Fortunately, the chaos in the Central Plains in the first few decades basically did not affect this corner, and the residents of the Land of Fish and Rice did not worry much about food and clothing, so the people here seem to have a kind of prosperity and peace that is different from Luoyang.

Troublesome things like the placement of a large number of entourages are all other people's headaches. Chu Feng and I lived in a row by the West Lake that the local officials had prepared in advance. Except for a little bit of mosquitoes, the living conditions It was quite comfortable.

The news that such a blockbuster of mine was thrown in Hangzhou was really great. From the second day of my stay, people came to visit me in an endless stream, but only a very small number of people were lucky enough to get the favor of my immortal master. Meet in person.

Liu Jinqing is undoubtedly one of them.

It was unexpected and reasonable to meet Liu Jinqing in Hangzhou, because the territory of the Liu family among the five major families is in the south of the Yangtze River, and the ancestral residence of the prime minister is in Hangzhou.

According to what I've heard, Liu Jinqing and Xie Fangling didn't have a good relationship after they got married - that's inevitable, it's no wonder that a female man can get along with this kind of scholar.At first Liu Jinqing was still patient, but later I heard that Xie Fangling whipped an old servant who had watched Liu Jinqing grow up for a small matter. Liu Jinqing was so angry that she had a big fight with her, and left the capital in a rage. I went back to my hometown, out of sight and out of sight.

That all happened when I was lingering in Changshui County. Now that I heard that I had also arrived in Hangzhou, Liu Jinqing came to see me.

Chu Feng is always busy with various things these days and has no time to accompany me. It just so happens that I can let Liu Jinqing, a native of the country, take me to play. By the way, I also do my duty as a friend and try my best to help him solve the problem. Take a look at the anguish of an unhappy marriage.

Liu Jinqing was still the same, tall and tall, elegant and refined, but there was still some distressed expression between his brows.

"You've lost a lot of weight, are you feeling better?" I asked him as soon as I saw him.

"It's all right." Liu Jinqing's voice is so gentle that it has the same temperament as this Jiangnan water town, which can make people feel happy involuntarily. I said happily: "I thought I would not see each other for a while after I left the capital. , I didn’t expect you to come to Hangzhou before me.”

Liu Jinqing smiled and avoided the most unpleasant topic: "Brother Yu just wants to find a clean place to study hard and prepare to take the exam next year."

"Oh? Are you finally ready to become an official?" I have to say that my mood is a bit complicated, and I don't know whether to be happy or worried for him.

☆ It is unscientific for lovers not to quarrel

Liu Jinqing smiled and avoided the most unpleasant topic: "Brother Yu just wants to find a clean place to study hard and prepare to take the exam next year."

"Oh? Are you finally ready to be an official?" I have to say that my mood is a bit complicated, and I don't know whether to be happy or worried for him.

"Yeah." Liu Jinqing nodded, "Brother Yu is about to take on the responsibilities that he never took on before."

Speaking of which, Liu Jinqing was actually admitted to Juren several years ago. Although he is the son of the prime minister, he can be an official even if he doesn't take the imperial examination. And contempt, for a person like him with real talents, it is still necessary to take a test based on his strength.

But I still can't help but think, what will happen to Liu Jinqing after he becomes an official?I'm afraid I have to devote myself to the never-ending power struggle.But this is the helpless reality. After all, no one is born just to enjoy everything without making any effort.

I went out with Liu Jinqing for an afternoon, and at night when it was almost dark, I said goodbye to him and returned to the temporary residence. Chu Feng had already returned, and when we were having dinner together, he asked me casually: "You have been here this afternoon?" With Liu Wen?"

"Yes." I replied casually.

"What did you guys talk about?" Chu Feng asked.

"...Do I have to tell you this too?" I was a little upset, although most of the time I didn't think there was anything wrong with Chu Feng, but I just spent an afternoon with Liu Jinqing who got along like a blissful spring breeze, and suddenly compared it, it was always I feel that Chu Feng's desire to control me is really a bit strong.

"It's okay if you don't want to tell me." Chu Feng said flatly, "It's just that you have to let me know whether you have any plans to really turn the fight with Liu Xian into friendship, and get back together regardless of the past."

"how can that be?!"

"Then you should keep some distance from Liu Wen, no matter whether he intends to harm you or not, Liu Wen is a member of the Liu family after all."

"...Okay." I muttered unhappily.

Chu Feng put down the bowl and chopsticks and said, "Don't blame me for being troublesome, I don't want you to be in a dilemma again in the future."

"I don't blame you, and you're right." But I was just unhappy, and I said in a sullen tone, "Today, I made indirect remarks with Jin Qing and asked a lot of information that might be useful. There is internal strife. The Wang family is backed by the queen and the prince. Now it is the most powerful, and it is completely a gesture of wanting to annex the Zhang family and the Liu family. It seems that the Zhang family and the Liu family are going to cooperate to fight against the Wang family. Tripzi, the Lu family and the Hu family in the north are also fighting each other. It is said that they even fought for an iron mine. Their conflicts have long been deeply rooted, and we don't need to provoke them. Just add fuel to the fire and they will die It's gone."

"I went to see the manager of the Zhang family today, and they have the same tone." Chu Feng suddenly thought of something, looked at me seriously and said, "Little Tiger, have you ever considered starting a family here?"

"...What do you mean?" This sudden sentence made me a little confused.

"People from the Zhang family mentioned marriage to me today, and I've been thinking about it on the way back. Of course, it doesn't mean that I will marry their family." Under my dumbfounded gaze, Chu Feng said as usual , "I know you will go back one day, but you are not sure when you have to go, maybe you will stay here for many years. You are not like me who can't get close to women. Now you are not old enough It’s not too young, why don’t you marry a wife and take concubines as soon as possible, maybe you can leave a son and a half daughter, then I will treat them as my own and raise them for you, how about it?”

"...Are you joking?" I looked at his face that didn't seem to be joking at all in surprise.

"Of course not, I'm serious." Chu Feng said.

"Why are you so nervous!" I got angry, "I just went out with Jin Qing all afternoon, why are you breaking up with me all of a sudden?"

Chu Feng frowned: "How did you say that, why am I breaking up with you?"

"Then what's wrong with you, you actually asked me to marry a wife?!"

Chu Feng said in surprise: "I just want a woman who can take better care of you, how can you think so?"

"...Take care of me?" My logic has become confused, "I have so many servants, why do I need to marry a wife to take care of me?"

"How can a servant and a wife be the same. I am busy all day long and I am often not by your side. You will inevitably be lonely and boring. Isn't it good to have more people to accompany you? And you can have children for you, don't you want to Want a child?"

"But...but won't you be jealous?"

"It's natural for a man to marry a wife and have children, how can I be jealous." Chu Feng's expression of righteousness really made me want to open his head and see what's inside, but I don't have that sense of humor. Go to Xizi, who is full of blood, holding his heart and pitying himself, playing a guessing game with him, slapping the table and standing up: "You can just say it straight, have you already? Tired of me?!"

Chu Feng also stood up, looking anxious: "How can I get bored with you? I'm doing this for your own good, why are you getting angry for no reason?"

"For my own good? Are you doing this for my own good?!" This argument was so ridiculous that I didn't know where to start to refute it.

"Otherwise, what good will it do me if I let you marry a wife?" Chu Feng asked.

"You're full of conspiracies and schemes, who knows what you're up to." At this moment, I showed all the bitterness in my bones: "Maybe you don't want to be with me long ago, and you don't want to offend me because of it, so just Come to me to perform this kind of show that understands righteousness and bears humiliation, and wants me to marry a wife and take a concubine, so you don't have to wrong yourself every day to eat and sleep with me."

"Shut up!" Unexpectedly, Chu Feng slapped the table and yelled at me, which shocked me, "You know that I don't want to, but I still want you to be a family and a queen, Mo I will delay you, and I plan to take care of your wife and children for you in the future. These days, I have been thinking about which one is not for you? I never thought that you would treat me like this! Who do you think I, Chu Jingyuan, are?!"

I have known him for so long, I have seen his majestic, courageous, and even ferocious appearance, but this is the first time I have seen Chu Feng who is so furious as if he is about to eat people.

I felt that talking to him at such a time would be noisy, so I turned around and left, but Chu Feng grabbed my arm so hard that I almost screamed.

"What are you doing?!"

"Don't worry about it! Let... let go!" I struggled desperately but couldn't break free from his grip. I was about to disappear when he let go.I ran away from him as if running away, and made up my mind that if he dared to chase me, I would immediately disappear. Emma hurt me to death.

Chu Feng is really promising, he dares to attack me even if he is fierce to me, what if he really bullies me but can't beat him?

The more I thought about it, the angrier I became, and regardless of the servants' inquiries and obstructions, I went straight out the door angrily. Before it was completely dark, I went directly to Liu's house, found Liu Jinqing and said, "Jinqing, I want to be with you." Is it convenient to stay at home for a few days?"

"Of course I'm very welcome, but what happened?" Liu Jinqing looked at me with concern and asked.

"Let's talk about it tomorrow, I'm not in the mood right now." I said bitterly.

"...Okay." Liu Jinqing didn't ask any further questions, and took me to the guest room of Liu's house, washed my face and feet with me, told me to rest well and don't think too much, and didn't bother me anymore.

I can't blame it if I don't think too much. After Liu Jinqing left, I sat alone on the bed with my knees hugged for a long time, thinking about some things in my mind, for example, why did I quarrel with Chu Feng today.

Although my mind was obviously not clear enough during the quarrel, it's not that I couldn't figure out the reason afterwards.It's not that Chu Feng doesn't love me anymore, nor does he want to use this reason to get rid of me. In the final analysis, the reason why he quarreled with me was just because of different ideas.For ancient people like him—especially those who grew up in high-ranking families, it is normal for a rich man to have three wives and four concubines, and it is strange to stick to one.It's fine for him to be disgusting when he sees a woman. A half-curved straight man like me, while maintaining a good relationship with his friends, doesn't hinder him from getting married and having children at all.

So he asked me to get married, maybe the starting point was really for my own good, hoping that I could have a happy family in the usual sense.But there should be some boredom, right? If the relationship between two people is just right, how can he tolerate my half-heartedness in terms of the man's desire for monopoly?

In fact, I have always known that there are some irreconcilable ideological contradictions between us, but I always think that maybe one day when I wake up, I will have to go back to modern times, and the days with him will be one day less. There's no need to make trouble with him because of these things.So sometimes even if some of his words and deeds make me feel a little uncomfortable, I don't care about him, I always think about bearing it and forget it.And Chu Feng is a smart person, he can always be keenly aware of what I like and what I hate, and he will deliberately avoid doing things that make me very disgusted.

So this fundamental contradiction has been deliberately avoided by us.

But not facing it does not mean that the problem does not exist. These contradictions are like landmines lying between us, and if we are not careful, they become the fuse for the explosion of accumulated resentment.

Yes, never quarreling doesn't mean never complaining.Whether it was out of affection for me or out of fear of my identity, Chu Feng never dared to provoke me, and he never said a serious word to me, and I am not the kind of person who is idle and has nothing to do. Man, the two of us probably hold the record for the longest time a couple has been together every day without ever fighting.But there is no doubt that whether it is me or him, if the resentment is not released, it will continue to accumulate, and then one day it will usher in an explosion, and the old and new hatred will be counted together.

In fact, I have been unhappy with him for a long time. The most annoying thing is his calculations and overly strong desire to control me from time to time. Although I know that his intentions are for my own good, I can't stop him from controlling me more strictly than my mother. I've heard enough about "should" and "can't". It seems that only his choice is the correct answer in the whole world. Hmph, labor and management have just gone to live with Liu Jinqing's parents, so what you love.
