However, Ma Guang disagreed: "My lord, think about it, Yan Li is the emperor, and the emperor must have a large number of guards around him. It is much more difficult to kill him than Rong Changan! Besides, didn't your lord say that Rong Changan is ours?" The biggest enemy and enemy? Rong Changan thinks very highly of himself, and the guard must be very lax. Whether it is emotionally or rationally, killing Rong Changan is the best choice."
"Why don't I want to kill Rong Chang'an!" The man gritted his two rows of steel teeth, "It's all because of her. My family was ruined. If I don't avenge this revenge, I will be a son of man in vain! But killing Rong Chang'an, is that so? It's easy. If she can't be killed and she discovers the clues, it will affect our overall plan."
Ma Guang smiled proudly: "My lord, even if Rong Chang'an cannot be killed, doesn't Zi Yan still have a clever plan..."
The man was silent for a while: "Then follow Ziyan's wishes! Tonight's action will be led by Beiming."
…
Rain and fog shrouded Chu's Villa, which is surrounded by mountains and rivers. Chu Lin came over early in the morning to greet Yan Li.
At this time, Yan Li had already eaten, so Eunuch Lu brought Yan Li a bowl of mouthwash to rinse his mouth. Chu Lin bowed beside him, peeking at Yan Li's expression.
"Your Majesty, how about the meal prepared by the villain? Can the Emperor satisfy his heart?"
The meal this morning is indeed delicious, even better than the one in the palace. If Chu Lin specially invited the best chefs and bought the best ingredients to welcome Yan Li, it would cost a lot of money, even the table of meals that Yan Li ate just now cost thousands of taels of silver,— This is too extravagant!
If this is just Chu Lin's daily meals, then Chu Lin is really pampered and living a luxurious life.
Yan Li rinsed his mouth, straightened his clothes, his cold eyes couldn't help showing contempt for Chu Lin.
"I ate very well. The empress and concubine also have the same food?"
If they were all the same as Yan Li's, then the cost of this morning would be tens of thousands of taels of silver! This is the annual expenditure of a medium family!
There seemed to be a flattering smile on the corner of Chu Lin's mouth forever. Seeing Yan Li walking outside, he took the initiative to come over and hold Yan Li's hand.
"Your majesty, please slow down!—Returning to the emperor, the empress and the imperial concubine are naturally not the same. If they are not distinguished from each other, it is not a violation of the etiquette rules of the ancestors for thousands of years! The empress has one more side dish than the empress, and the emperor also has more dishes than the empress. There are a few more side dishes."
Yan Li didn't want to be supported by Chu Lin, who was full of copper smell, but it seemed too disrespectful to Chu Lin to shake off his hand, so he let Chu Lin support him, and came to the small wooden bridge in the back garden, looking at Flooded.
"According to what you mean, my breakfast is different from that of the queen?"
Chu Lin replied: "Exactly, Your Majesty!"
Yan Li thought for a while: "Besides the members of Chu, don't take away the extra dishes. Send them to the queen so that she can taste them too. I can't finish them, so it's a pity to lose them."
Chu Lin's heart was awe-inspiring: I don't think the emperor is so frugal, and the leftovers are given to the queen
"Your majesty, if you really want to feed the queen, I'll ask the cook to make another portion. It's too indecent to take the leftovers to the queen."
Yan Li waved his hand: "Don't make another copy! The empress and I have both suffered hardships and know the hardships of the people. We can eat the food, so why throw it away? If we each save money and food, we will also be able to eat it. Can help the poor people."
Chu Lin began to panic: he lived extravagantly. So he hastened to defend himself by saying:
"Your Majesty, in fact, I often do good deeds on weekdays! It goes without saying that I donate money to build the Guandi Temple. At four o'clock and eighth, I also often set up a porridge shop to help refugees from other states and counties."
Yan Li naturally knew that Chu Lin was defending himself, so he smiled and said, "I'm not blaming you, don't panic. You follow my instructions, take those dishes and send them to the queen."
Chu Lin looked embarrassed: "Even if I take it, the queen is not in the yard at this time."
Yan Li's eyes flashed: "Where did the queen go?"
Chu Lin replied: "The queen rode a horse to the market early in the morning, saying that she was going to the Jiuzimu Temple to burn incense and worship Buddha."
Yan Li thought: For no reason, why did Rong Changan go to the Jiuzimu Temple to burn incense? The Nine Sons Mother is a fairy who bestows a child, could it be that she is going to beg for a child
"Since the queen is not here, then give it to Concubine Zixuan."
Chu Lin said again: "The imperial concubine also went to the market early in the morning, and she said she was going to get medicine."
Yan Li wondered: "Is there no one to grab the medicine? Why do you need a dignified concubine to grab the medicine?"
Chu Lin didn't know that Ziyan followed Zixuan to the market: "Your Majesty, since Concubine Zixuan and Empress Rong are not here, why don't I take it to Concubine Ziyan."
Who knew that Yan Li snorted, as if there was a thunder on the flat ground, shaking Chu Lin almost to the point of tearing his liver and gallbladder.
"Not to her, even if I throw it to the dogs, I won't give it to this woman!"
Chu Lin was sweating in his heart: What's the matter? Where did Ziyan offend the emperor? God, how did I hit the edge of the knife! You have to be more careful when you speak in the future, and you can't mention Ziyan again.
The back garden is very large. There is a big lake in the garden. There is an octagonal glazed pavilion in the center of the lake. Under the pavilion, the lotus leaves stand gracefully.
Yan Li sighed to himself that he had been locked in the palace all his life, unable to break free from the mountain of memorials, and went around to have a look. If it wasn't for the matter of Ma Guang and Liang Bin, he would not know that there is such a beautiful place in the end of the world.
Chu Lin reached out of the pavilion, picked a lotus pod, and put it on the stone table in the pavilion: "Your Majesty, the lotus seeds are already ripe. Your Majesty, taste it."
Yan Li peeled two of them, put them in his mouth, and slurped them, sweet and refreshing, really delicious. No wonder, Zixuan and Rong Changan wanted to buy some lotus pods back to the palace!
While eating lotus seeds, Yan Li asked Chu Lin, "Do you know Ma Guang and Liang Bin, the prefects of Wenchang County?"
Chu Lin replied without thinking: "My place is under the jurisdiction of Wenchang County, why don't I know them! They are all my parents' officials."
Although Chu Lin kept saying that Ma Guang and Liang Bin were his parents' officials, judging from his tone of voice, he seemed not very friendly to these two officials.
"What kind of people do you personally think Ma Guang and Liang Bin are? Are they good officials?"
Chu Lin felt troubled: The emperor asked this question because he wanted to hear good things about those two people? Or do you want to listen to bad things about those two people
Seeing Chu Lin biting his thick lips, Yan Li understood his thoughts: "I'm here this time, on the one hand, to visit Jiangnan, and on the other hand, I also want to inspect the local officials. So, if you have something to say, it's okay to say it. "
