How many buildings are in the mist

"Escorted to Jiankang?" Xie Yan sat under Feng Zizhang, medicine was placed on the table in front of him, and tea was on Feng Zizhang's case.

"Yes, I went with the Lu family brothers."

"Hey! You won't have to suffer all the way."

"Afflicted by words?"

"Yeah, those two have forgiving mouths?"

Feng Zizhang smiled, and didn't care about Xie Yan's smile as he looked at him madly. Ever since he took off his veil, this guy looked unscrupulous, "That's what she deserves, who made her be so easily provoked." She took She took a sip from the teacup, tasted it for a while, and added: "I asked her to figure out a way for herself, it's best to stop it if she can, and what happened? She was a fool, thinking that the people under her treason were really because of her, and she was kidnapped." That's it."

"Puppets have always been like this. I think Luling King is just a wine and meat clan. Don't make things difficult for her."

"Why did I ever feel sorry for her? She was the one who made things difficult for me! This guy was about to leave, but he actually asked someone to forward a letter to me, asking me to plead for mercy."

Feng Zizhang sent the army of his own kingdom to go, but who knew that his cavalry governor won the battle, and he brought back a letter - saying that the king of Luling had agreed to give it to His Highness.Feng Zizhang got angry and punished the believer to kneel in the yard for a long time: She said you would believe it?

"Are you still going to write?"

"not going to."

"Why?"

"Elder sister is a person who will take revenge. You may see that she is holding back her anger at the moment, and she is not showing the truth. In fact, she has a clear account in her heart, and she has her own unique accounting rules. For example, if the fourth sister brings On the way to Beijing, there was some rumor on the way that damaged the royal family's reputation. She even hated the person who persuaded the fourth sister to punish her. When she found an opportunity in the future, she would take revenge. Everyone, big or small, would take revenge. I can't run away. I'm pleading for her now, it won't help at all, it will only aggravate her crime and make my sister hate her even more."

Xie Yan nodded and said with a smile: "After talking like that, it seems that His Majesty will never hate you."

Feng Zizhang sighed, "Everyone thinks so, maybe my sister thinks so too, but I don't think so. When I was young, my sister's master was Zhu Shihan, and mine was Yao Dun. During the time when Zhu Shihan was ill, my mother asked My sister came to class with me. After about two months, my sister was always quick to answer, and I just sat there quietly, waiting for Yao Dun to ask me, and then I would answer. As a result, Yao Dun was dismissed after half a year. I was dismissed, and I went to class with my sister. I like Yao Dun very much, so I went to find out why he was dismissed."

"And then, what happened?"

"I heard that when Yao Dun drank with others in private, he told them that I was quieter and calmer than my sister. If it is for the sake of the country, we should abolish the elders and establish the younger ones."

Xie Yan "tsk tut" a few times, "To put it lightly, this is a slip of the tongue after drinking, but to put it seriously, what is the difference between it and treason."

"Yes, so he was exempted. My mother was lenient and just let him go. I never told my sister about this, I was afraid she would know. At that time, my sister just fell in love with sister Xianzhi and couldn't help herself; Sister Xianzhi was bullied by other aristocratic women the year before, and one year later—sister Xianzhi almost forgot, she didn’t—find her father’s fault and play it to her mother, and deliberately humiliate and bully others at parties Girl, she dug out all the evil deeds she did in the countryside when she was a child, arranged for Donggong guards, and then spent money to find someone, wrote them on paper, and pasted them all over Jiankang. She was almost so angry that she hanged herself."

"Ah, I remember this. I happened to be living in Jiankang at that time, and I saw those papers. Why did some people in my hometown frame up a good girl as a witch and commit adultery? The girl was almost beaten to death; What about swearing, disrespecting the elderly, etc. I have no impression of that girl, why did I almost hang myself in anger?"

"He has always shown others in a quiet and polite manner, and he never utters a bad word, although he is more lively; now that he has dug out his old background and announced it to the world, everyone from ordinary farmers to high-ranking daughters knows, do you want to live? "

Xie Yan laughed, "That's her own fault, no wonder Your Majesty."

"That's it, do you know what my sister is spending so much time on?"

"what's up?"

"That daughter compared her beauty with Sister Xianzhi, and belittled Sister Xianzhi's clothes. If it was just clothes, then maybe there would be no such thing. However, the clothes were given by my sister. The result is fine. My sister does not pursue any wrongdoing. Sin, suppressing this and not saying it. After waiting for a year, everything from her own reputation to her father's official position will be destroyed."

"I seem to remember that official..."

"I sent it to Wuchang, because there were too many mistakes, and I should have been dismissed if I got tired together, but my mother also knew that this was my sister's willfulness, so I didn't pursue too much."

"But according to what you said, His Majesty has such a deep affection for the first empress. Why didn't the first empress investigate and implicate anyone after her death?"

"Because Sister Xianzhi refused. Sister Xianzhi is the only person who can persuade my sister. After a few years of absence, I think my sister will lose control. No matter how good the advice is, if she doesn't listen, no one can help. "

"You can't either?"

Feng Zizhang smiled wryly: "What virtue can I do?"

Xie Yan took a sip of the medicine, grinned his teeth in bitterness, and said while arranging his facial features: "I said, you just despise yourself. You are obviously very capable, why don't you use it."

"Everyone can say this to me, but you can't."

"Hey! That's good, I have to go back to Shuangluo after a while. If you went back to Jiankang years ago, come and ask me to come with you."

Feng Zizhang was taken aback, and looked at Xie Yan: "Are you willing to come out of the mountain?"

"Going out of the mountain? What do you think I look like? I want to go back to Jiankang and have a look. By the way, I will encourage you again. Why not?"

Feng Zizhang didn't chat with her, "Your uncle allowed you to go?"

Xie Yan smiled and said, "Do you know which four words my uncle gave me when I left Shuangluo to chase you and Zhezhu?"

Feng Zizhang shook his head.

"He said 'the time knows it'."

These words were a bit sweet, Feng Zizhang didn't know how to respond to this invisible confession, blushing and turned his head to the distance.Xie Yan didn't chase after him, and continued to drink the medicine.The medicine was very bitter, and the doctor told her to drink it slowly, so she didn't want it. She wanted to drink it in one go, and the long-term pain is worse than the short-term pain.It turned out that the doctor actually did it for her good: she drank it in one go, and the bitterness doubled.Now the facial features are all wrinkled together.

"What kind of medicine, it's so bitter, bah, bah, bah," she stuck out her tongue, "it smells like bedbugs! Bah, bah, bah!"

Feng Zizhang turned around and saw that her tongue was stained with medicinal juice, which was yellow-green like bile, so she couldn't help laughing out loud: "It's not good to make you hurt, just take the medicine you should take." Xie Yan continued As if wishing to pull out her tongue and wash it clean, Feng Zizhang had no choice but to ask someone to serve her some sweet fruit.

"only you…"

"Well?"

Xie Yan was chewing peaches with his mouth full, Feng Zizhang was really funny seeing her, "Eat it quickly! Don't choke again!"

"Mmm! Mmmm!"

It's hard for Feng Zizhang to get along with her a lot these days, knowing what she said is "Don't be afraid! Say it".

"I just want to say that if you go to Jiankang, my sister will definitely take the opportunity to make you an official."

"Well - don't be afraid, I will be your palace history. You don't have any history, I guess."

"Let's not be a good court official, but to be my internal history, the official position is not high."

"Think about what you said just now." Xie Yan took a big bite off a piece of peach, chewed it a few times before swallowing it, "Your Majesty doesn't have a good impression of the family, but I just protected you along the way. I helped a little during the case. As soon as I arrived in Jiankang, I went to the court to be an official. First, it violated His Majesty’s original intention of holding a civil and military competition, and second, it aroused her suspicion and disgust. The king is like a tiger, it is best not to enter her territory , not to mention that she had to let me in, then I will stay in a safe place near the edge."

Feng Zizhang thought it was reasonable, but then he realized Xie Yan's other consideration, so he said with a smile: "The internal history of the palace, you can get me out, it's a good idea, kill two birds with one stone."

"No, kill three birds with one stone."

Just as Feng Zizhang wanted to ask who the third party was, he immediately realized that they were both himself.

"You, you can say anything that is not serious. Could it be that your mouth and eyes were crooked when you were young?"

Xie Yan laughed loudly, "No, no, no, you say crooked things when your mouth is upright, and you say right things when your mouth is crooked."

The two laughed for a while, Feng Zizhang suddenly remembered and asked: "Your reputation, success is also those four words, sleepy is also those four words, it is reasonable for the clan to know this kind of thing, why is it so? How about spreading it?"

Xie Yan was tossing the peach pit for fun, when he heard Yan throw the peach pit with a whoosh, the peach pit bounced five times in the pond in front of the two of them, and even flew over the pond, "What do you think? Didn't the second uncle say it himself?" What I heard was that when I was a child in Jiankang, someone came to see me and said that this child is so so, so please don’t take it back, just stay in Jiankang. It’s clearly not me, but my father. My father can’t resist it. , Just say that there is an order in the clan not to let you stay, what is the order, he doesn't say, he is too noisy, let him ask the second uncle. The second uncle doesn't care about these at all, so he just said it. The result will be fine. "

Feng Zizhang smiled, and Xie Yan also smiled bitterly: "It's really not smart at all."

"Say it like you can handle it better."

"Of course, if it were me, I would just say: I just want to leave, so what's the matter with you?"

Feng Zizhang laughed loudly, and Xie Yan added earnestly: "The things in this world, could it be 'what's none of your business' and 'what's none of my business', whether you care about it or not. If you think about what you care about, your actions will be much easier."

Feng Zizhang ordered someone to fetch the guqin, Xie Yan saw this and immediately asked for his own flute.Feng Zizhang played a few times first, and Xie Yan said in amazement: "You still remember the song on the lake? It's something you never forget."

"There's no such supernatural power, but...the song is so beautiful, I won't forget it."

When the flute came, the two played another song together.It's ten times better with the tunes than on the lake.Those who hear it seem to see Pinghu surrounded by green mountains, starting from Pinghu, crossing the mountains, and finally reaching the sea.When the song was about to end, Xie Yan turned his flute and showed off his skills like a bird soaring.Feng Zizhang didn't understand its meaning at the beginning, but let his mind go with it, playing the piano a few times when the sound of the flute was about to break, and the tune gradually became magnificent.Xie Yan cast a smiling look at her, and Feng Zizhang followed the tune.The picture in my heart gradually only consisted of a vast ocean, and the two of them went boating on it, saying goodbye to the troubled world, fame and fortune.

At the end of the song, Feng Zizhang put his hands on the strings, breathed out and sighed: "If this is really possible, it would be great."

Xie Yan said: "Yes, yes. You rest, I want to play a few more songs."

Feng Zisong, who was being escorted to Jiankang, was indeed having a hard time, because although she and Erlu didn't stay together all the time, they still saw each other once a day. The shackles, but you can still sit in the prison car.Lu Mao scolded her vocabulary, half of which she understood and half she didn't understand.Lu Yu didn't say anything, but when he looked at him, he stared back viciously.

After they were escorted to Jiankang, Feng Zisong was immediately sent to the palace, where she was reprimanded by Feng Zihuan, and then locked in the palace without taking off the shackles.She was scolded a lot, and her own sister came to see her the next day, and then the two sisters went to meet the emperor together, so they continued to be scolded.Feng Zisong came out, with a frowning face, and just wanted to protest with Feng Ziju that the shackles were too heavy, but before he could say a word, he was scolded back: "You should know something! If your majesty didn't take care of you, I have pity on you. Wait, you have already been tortured by Ting Wei like the brothers of the Lu family!"

Feng Zihuan asked Tingwei to detain Erlu—but not to be locked up with other Lu family members who had been imprisoned before—then tortured and interrogated them, and asked them to confess who they had contacted for rebellion.In prison, Lu Hao heard that his father had been punished in Taicheng for several days. People and so on.He told all the families in Jiankang that he knew.On the other hand, Lu Yu didn't say anything about his death.This was in Feng Zihuan's favor, she took the list given by Lu Mao, and asked Cui Xuanji to cooperate with Ting Wei to search for the people involved.

When Cui Xuanji got the list, he naturally refused. "Your Majesty, I'm afraid the court will fall into the scheme of the Lu family brothers!"

Feng Zihuan laughed and said, "It's a trick? Tell me, what's the trick?"

"Your Majesty, Lu Hao is such a person that he said that he clearly intended to disturb the people. If His Majesty obeyed his wishes, the Jiankang scholars would be even more panicked. Even if we arrest people, we will only send them to the Tingwei for a trial. It's not a good thing if you don't go to jail."

"What are you afraid of, 'The mantis catches the cicada, the oriole is behind', I just use him to do something. He wants to die himself, and wants to drag others to die together, so why don't I let him do it? You go ,Don't worry."

On the way Cui Xuanji rode a horse and led his men and Ting Wei to arrest him, when he thought of the words "If I kill someone, I will fulfill him", and suddenly understood that Feng Zihuan was using his strength to fight.She had never seen Erlu's secret letters confiscated by Feng Zizhang. She knew they existed, but she hadn't read them, and she didn't know who was involved.Feng Zihuan just wanted to cause panic and achieve what she couldn't do from her own or the court's perspective.

She supports Feng Zihuan in rectifying the court and the clan, and even more supports her in dealing with rebels, but she does not agree with this approach, perhaps as Feng Zihuan said, she is too upright.

But integrity is not good, is it?In a sinking and dirty environment, shouldn't we persevere?Anyway, there will naturally be people who will do the self-sacrificing, hypocrisy and obedience, so let her preserve this integrity.Jiang Yuan once told her that there is no right or wrong way to go one's own way, but bravery is certain.See clearly what you want to do and what you don't want to do, and the world will become simpler.No matter how complicated it is, if you think clearly, you will naturally not be able to see the fascinating things.

So be it, she thought, as others think, that's how I think and act.

Just thinking about it, here we are.The soldiers went to knock on the door, and there was the sound of panic from the crowd inside.
