cold three feet

Before the seventh day of the lunar calendar arrived, Zhou Ziyan wanted to send Su Han back to southern Xinjiang.It was the first time Su Han saw him rushing to drive people out before the year was over.However, Su Han wasn't angry at all, and that night's unexpected kiss taught Su Han to understand his long-held secret intention, and his attitude towards Zhou Ziyan changed slightly.

In the end, the two made the biggest step back and chose to send Su Han back to southern Xinjiang on the seventh day of the lunar calendar.

On the morning of the seventh day of the lunar calendar, only a few shops were open on Chang'an Avenue. After passing the Yueliu River, it was the east gate of the capital.

Su Han was sitting in a simple carriage, while Zhou Ziyan rode slowly with him on horseback.When approaching the east gate, Su Han in the carriage raised the curtain, looked at the tall Zhou Ziyan sitting on the horse, thought for a while, and said, "Why doesn't elder brother go back to Southern Xinjiang with me?"

Zhou Ziyan lowered his head and smiled: "Brother still has some matters to deal with in the court, you go back first. But I promise you, as long as I finish these things, I will hurry back to southern Xinjiang."

Su Han suddenly felt a little doubtful in his heart. He always felt that Zhou Ziyan seemed to have been dragged into the capital by someone or something. Was it because of the frequent occurrence of witchcraft, but Su Han faintly felt that this was not the case.Su Han secretly sensed that Zhou Ziyan was investigating something, but he still hadn't figured out what it was.But now that Su Han has made up his mind, it doesn't matter if it's earlier or later, anyway, he has become a member of Zhou's family, and Zhou Ziyan will not be able to escape for the rest of his life.Thinking about it this way, Su Han was very happy.

The problem that is giving Su Han a headache now is probably not knowing when to let Ziyan know his intentions.It can't work now, in Ziyan's eyes, he is still a child, if he really wants to say it, I'm afraid he will take it all as a joke and won't take it seriously.But if he waited until the year of his coronation, he felt that it would be too long. With such intentions, keeping silent would be another kind of torture for him.

Su Han suddenly took out a braided red bracelet from his bosom, and said lightly, "Here, the safety rope for you, if you like, you can wear it on your wrist. Although you never believe in gods and Buddhas, but It’s also good to borrow auspicious words.”

Zhou Ziyan never believed in ghosts and gods, but when he took the red bracelet from Su Han, he seemed to have a sense of dependence in his heart. Such a simple red rope is like an invincible The weapon, the thing that was on his mind, can be calmed down like dust falling to the ground.

"You gave it to me, I will wear it every day, even if I take a bath, I won't take it off. What a filial child." Zhou Ziyan took the red bracelet and said with a smile.It's just this last sentence, coupled with his loving father looking at his dutiful son, made Su Han feel angry.Su Han glanced at Zhou Ziyan, let go and closed the curtain, and said to the coachman in front: "Whip! Let's go!"

The coachman slapped the horse's butt vigorously, and the carriage carrying Su Han rolled away in a cloud of dust.

Zhou Ziyan caressed the red hand rope with his fingers, looked at Su Han's carriage going away, and said in his heart: "Good to go, good to go."

Three days ago, that is, the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, Qi Yuan secretly ordered Zhou Ziyan to enter the palace. Zhou Ziyan thought it was because of the New Year, and Qi Yuan wanted to talk to him about family affairs.

But Qi Yuan said: "Xiao Yan, recently I feel more and more that I am really old and unable to do what I want. But the prince is young now, he is playful by nature, and I don't know how many women he has brought to the East Palace. It's just that I only have such a son. If I don’t make him the crown prince, who else can I appoint? The queen is a woman, and it is really difficult to support the crown prince. I have thought about it for a long time, and looking at all the officials in the court, there is no one worthy of entrustment. Therefore, I hope, You can promise me one thing."

Qi Yuan is the same age as Zhou Yicun, but he does look 30 to 20 years older than Zhou Yicun, maybe the real dragon throne is really something that consumes one's lifespan.Qi Yuan was still an unlucky emperor, everyone said that it was easy to conquer the country but difficult to defend it.Qi Yuan and Zhou Yicun desperately conquered the country, and then established Daliang for more than [-] years. Now the problem of guarding the country is because there is only one son who is ineffective under his knees. If Qi Zuo is not established, who can be established?

If so, what the emperor did is sad and ridiculous.

Zhou Ziyan had a thorough mind, and he knew what Qi Yuan was going to entrust to him as soon as he heard it. At a good level, it was a heavy responsibility, but at a bad level, it was a test to see if he and his father had any dissatisfaction with Daliang.What's more, Zhou Ziyan has a headache when he thinks of the prince. Now the prince is not a little follower who will follow his ass and recognize his elder brother indiscriminately. He knows that it is absolutely impossible for the prince who is now an adult to submit to someone.

Qi Zuo's current performance is only to cherish the memory of women, which is not a big deal.But Zhou Ziyan went to the East Palace to see the grown-up prince for a long time since the last time because of Ruan Zhi's case. He felt from the bottom of his heart that Qi Zuo was not as simple as he is now. Difficult emperor.

Zhou Ziyan said with a sneer: "I think that the prince is young now, so it is inevitable that he likes to play a little bit, but if he is properly guided, he will become a great weapon in the future. It's just that Weichen is a person who can't control himself well, so I'm afraid it's hard to bear it." This task."

Qi Yuan was not displeased by Zhou Ziyan's refusal, on the contrary, he said solemnly: "Since Xiaoyan said so, I can't force you. How about this, now that there is your father in the southern frontier defense, I am very relieved, Why don't you stay in the capital and help me guide the prince well when you have time, but I remember that the prince admired you the most and listened to you the most when he was young."

Zhou Ziyan suddenly realized that the emperor was imprisoning him in the capital in a disguised form due to Qi Yuan's ups and downs in his attitude and words.The long list of sales in front is pitiful, but it is actually to pave the way for the next thing.If you just want to find someone who can teach the prince today, and look at the entire Liang Dynasty, how can there be no one? Isn't Chen Ying's father, Chen Yu, a good teacher, and his disciples are countless.Qi Yuan made such a move because he wanted to put Zhou Ziyan under house arrest in Beijing, so that Zhou Yicun, who was far away in southern Xinjiang, would be a bit more afraid.

But thinking about Zhou Ziyan, even if he was really put under house arrest by Qi Yuan, Zhou Yicun would probably slap his thigh happily and say: You bastard, stay away, your ears will be much cleaner.It's just that now he lied to Su Han, and originally promised him that he would return to southern Xinjiang early after finishing the matter, but in fact it was just a lie that Zhou Ziyan told to deceive the child happily.

Zhou Ziyan knew very well that Su Han was a solid-eyed child, and in this way, when he returned to southern Xinjiang, it might be really difficult to coax that brat well.

The horse under him suddenly let the person behind him hiss in shock, which brought Zhou Ziyan back to his thoughts. Zhou Ziyan turned the horse's head and saw clearly that the people behind him were Qing Huan and Ting Lan.

Ting Lan said: "Master, last time you deliberately let Master Futai let go of Du Yanlan, my subordinates have tracked her, but she disappeared when she arrived at Tianze Temple."

This is what Zhou Ziyan said last time when he said to catch big fish with shrimps. He told Fengtian Mansion Yin Jiang Yiming and Du Yanlan are definitely behind the manipulators. If Mr. Jiang wants to catch the people behind him, he still needs to listen to me. put on a play.Jiang Yiming agreed with Zhou Ziyan's idea without saying a word.

Now Qing Huan and Ting Lan followed Zhou Ziyan's instructions, and managed to track down Du Yanlan. Unexpectedly, Du Yanlan and the mysterious person entered Tianze Temple, as if they knew how to escape. disappeared.Qing Huan and Ting Lan guarded Tianze Temple for three days and three nights, but they couldn't find any trace of Du Yanlan and the mysterious person, so they rushed back and reported the matter to Zhou Ziyan.

Zhou Ziyan frowned slightly, and thoughtfully said: "Tianze Temple."

Tianze Temple is actually not far from the capital city, on Qingwu Mountain, thirty miles away from the outskirts of Beijing.It's just that this temple belongs to the royal family, and those who can come to offer incense every year are either relatives of the emperor or family members of officials in the court.And the abbot of Tianze Temple, Master Wuyou, is still a seventh-rank official position, so everyone still needs to say "Master Abbot" to show respect.

But this is strange, how did Du Yanlan and that mysterious person enter such a royal temple without being noticed by the monks in the temple, and disappeared without a trace under the noses of Qing Huan and Ting Lan .

.

Zhou Ziyan suddenly thought of the Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first lunar month, which is the day when the royal family and some important officials go to Tianze Temple to light lamps and pray for blessings. At that time, Zhou Ziyan can take advantage of the majesty of the emperor to find out where Du Yanlan has gone. Who is that mysterious man?

Zhou Ziyan smiled confidently, and said in a low voice, "Let's go to Tianze Temple on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month and meet the mysterious person behind Du Yanlan."

Qing Huan asked puzzledly: "Master, you can go to Tianze Temple to offer incense as a major general, why do we have to wait until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month?"

Zhou Ziyan touched the red bracelet already worn on his right wrist with his left hand, and said with a light smile, "We can arrest people right now. But I always feel that with the skills of the mysterious man you mentioned, he is by no means a small man." Look. Now turn around and think about it, I guess he has already discovered the fishing rod I buried, and deliberately lured you two to Tianze Temple. He must have a more important secret for me to know. Since everyone has set up the chopsticks and bowls , how can we not give others face and see if this is a fat fish?"

Under the city wall outside the east gate, there are several new trees that have broken through the ground.Ten miles away from the city wall, there is a small wine shop called "Early Spring". The fresh grassy smell accompanied by the strong aroma of wine, along with the wind of early spring, enters from the breath of the person and slides into the internal organs of the person, as if Can touch people's heartstrings.

Such a clear and intoxicating breath is a stock market smell that Zhou Ziyan is familiar with and likes.There is a saying that a thousand dollars cannot buy a happy king. The capital, court, power and position, and the intricate relationship behind them are all inferior to the flowers and trees, the breeze and the wine.When people are in the rivers and lakes, they have involuntary sentimentality, but when they are in the court, there is only sadness that they have to do.

Once the dust was gone and the spring breeze wrapped around him, Zhou Ziyan clamped his horse's belly, laughed loudly and said, "Go home!"
