Xiao Chiye wiped the corners of his lips with his thumb in the dark, where there were still remnants of alcohol, and he said, "One foot and one, you and I are not at a loss."
Shen Zechuan looked back at him.
Xiao Chiye laughed at Shen Zechuan: "One yard is one yard, won't you still step on me when you go out in the future? If you step on Lanzhou, I will get it back with profit."
Shen Zechuan licked the place where he had bitten with the tip of his tongue, and said, "You don't have this opportunity every time."
Xiao Chiye took a step closer, completely shrouding him in his shadow, and said, "You can't run away every time."
After Xiao Chiye finished speaking, he reached out and took off the red plum beside Shen Zechuan, smashed the petals, and put the red plum into his mouth. Shen Zechuan had an illusion in his eyes that he was the Hongmei, and he silently added another "imperative" in addition to Xiao Chiye's "sense of smell" evaluation.
Shen Zechuan once thought that desire would defeat Xiao Chiye, causing him to be frustrated and retreat, but his performance was unexpected. His arrogant character told him that he would only move forward bravely, and any retreat was only to prepare for the next better attack.
He is the beast of the flood.
"Palm the lamp." Xiao Chiye turned his head and shouted.
After a while, the maids pushed open the door and entered, removed the small screen, cleaned up the leftovers, spread a mat on the squid, and put on a generous coffee table with corseted club feet. Chen Yang changed his shoes and entered, put the military affairs and personnel rosters of the Imperial Guard on the coffee table, took the teapot from the maid, and knelt by the side to make tea for the two of them.
There were people present, and when the two took their seats again, they were both upright gentlemen.
Shen Zechuan was half awake, and because of the wind, he escaped from his previous hot flashes and slightly drunken state. It's just that his face was still crimson, and he was trapped in the dim light. Now even Chen Yang didn't dare to look up at him, lest his eyes would offend him and make him and Xiao Chiye unhappy.
Chen Yang was brewing tea, thinking to himself: Don't blame Tantai Hu for being worried, Shen Lanzhou clearly grew up in the same way as bringing disaster to the country and the people, and has such a temperament, and people who are a little familiar with the master should be afraid.
What does Xiao Chiye like most
Taming horses and eagles! When the eagle is boiled, the eagle does not sleep, nor does Xiao Chiye sleep. The more difficult it is, the more he cares about it, and the more difficult it is, the more he prefers it. The reason why Xiao Chiye was able to lie down for so long when he fought the side sand cavalry was because he loved the process of taming and suffering. He inherited Xiao Fangxu and developed a desire to conquer beyond ordinary people, which is the most different between him and Xiao Jiming.
Chen Yang offered tea to the two of them, saluted a little, and said, "Master has something to order", then got up and backed out, changed his boots, and stayed outside the door.
Gujin on the roof bowed his head and threw it to Chenyang's wine bag, asking with his eyes what was going on inside.
Chen Yang slowly exhaled and said, "...No problem, the master is measured."
Ding Tao still held her head and muttered, "Am I going to die, die, die, die..."
"I see Xuan," Qiao Tianya rubbed against the snow, pulled out his bong, and laughed, "on this day next year, my brother will remember to burn paper for you."
Ding Tao's tears were about to fall. He rubbed his hair, glared at them, and complained, "It's all your fault! If you don't fight, I won't fight, if I don't fight, I won't fall, I If you don't fall, you won't die. I hate you!"
Qiao Tianya focused on wiping the flint, Gu Jin dozed off with his arms in his arms.
Ding Tao hated it so much that she took out her book and wrote quickly, expressing her anger in it, calling them the number one son of a bitch. In the end, she wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, turned it over, and continued to talk endlessly, thinking about it. Like a spring.
The people in the house changed the tea and continued the conversation.
Xiao Chiye said: "To repeat the old story, you said that there is a person who can manipulate the Eight Great Families hidden in the capital. I thought about it and thought it was unlikely."
Shen Zechuan was burned by the medicinal wine and smoked in his throat. After drinking a few cups of tea, he said, "You think it's impossible because it's too difficult to do such a thing."
Xiao Chiye said: "Yes, regardless of others, even the Queen Mother will not be willing to listen to others."
"What if she didn't even notice it herself?" Shen Zechuan said, "Manipulating the situation, sometimes you don't need to order others, just use one finger to push the 'situation' and change a lot of things."
"You have to prove that there is this person first." Xiao Chiye looked at him and said, "...You look hot."
Shen Zechuan lifted his finger to unbutton his clothes, the button lightly broke free, and the smooth neck was gradually exposed between his fingers, stopping above the collarbone. Small beads of sweat slid into the depression along the lines, moistening the fingertips.
"Although Xi Hongxuan is a piece of Mingqi, it is very important. Whether this person exists or not has to be confirmed by Xi Hongxuan, so you can't take him away this time." Shen Zechuan said for a while, "You can't take him either, this time He never showed up in the assassination case, and Fuling's confession can only show that she was coerced, and now the biggest suspect is you."
"It was your idea to frame me." Xiao Chiye looked at the disappearing sweat.
"You are a close minister of the emperor now, and you are deeply favored. If you can get rid of officials because of this, Xi Hongxuan will not miss the opportunity, and he will definitely take advantage of the situation to seek the power of the eight major battalions. Only by leading them out of the hole can we see clearly Where to fight. Besides, the emperor believes in you, even if he demotes you, he will not immediately trust others. When he passes this time, and sees the Eight Great Families raging again, he should find that he is also being played by others. In the meantime, I will feel guilty for you who have been implicated innocently, and then I will try my best to make up for you." Shen Zechuan's Adam's apple floated while drinking tea, he said, "I guess you have already thought of a countermeasure before looking for me."
"Let's play," Xiao Chiye poured him tea, "I'm just taking the plan, it's up to you to step on it."
"This is more sensible than fighting back at this time," Shen Zechuan said. "The more anxious you are to clear the relationship at this time, the more suspicious you will become of the emperor."
"I know the emperor," Xiao Chiye said. "He is a soft-hearted person. He can't stand instigation, but he can't stand being bullied. I'm his brother, and the first person he mentioned after he ascended the throne. , I am some kind of symbol for him to face the courtiers. I am trapped inside and outside, and I have become a captive cattle and sheep under his hands. In his opinion, I have no one to rely on, and it is only by relying on him that I can take a firm position. If the design is kicked down, he will definitely feel that his lips are dead and his teeth are cold. The flower party is his heart disease, and he can rest assured that Hai Liangyi will decide political affairs because he knows that Hai Liangyi will not form a party. "
"I can't miss this opportunity," Shen Zechuan pondered for a moment while holding the teacup, "this time Xi Hongxuan must be moved."
"I remind you." Xiao Chiye waved to Shen Zechuan with his elbows on the table.
Shen Zechuan put down the teacup and leaned over.
Xiao Chiye whispered: "If you don't have enough alcohol, don't go out to drink with people. It's not that any bastard has the determination of the second son, and can be a decent gentleman across from you."
Shen Zechuan glanced sideways, gritted his words: "The gentleman has also thought about it a lot."
Xiao Chiye stared at him and said, "When you leave this door tomorrow morning, you and I are dead enemies. Enemies are the most sympathetic to each other. Isn't it right that I miss you?"
Shen Zechuan said, "I don't want you."
Xiao Chiye said: "Every plan you make now can't get around me. I'm afraid it's not that you don't want to, but that you are thinking about it during the day and thinking about it at night."
"Why didn't the foot of Baiguan Yan step on you?" Shen Zechuan raised his hand to block Xiao Chiye's breathing and said, "Let the second son sober up."
The tip of Xiao Chiye's nose touched Shen Zechuan's palm, he stared at Shen Zechuan, and said evilly, "It's so cruel, Lanzhou, before you sleep with me, you try to tease me in every possible way, and after you sleep, you will be on guard in every possible way, you heartless devil and merciless man. "
Shen Zechuan slightly avoided his gaze when he saw him, and said, "...Xiao Er, you should drink high tonight."
Xiao Chiye suddenly stepped back and said, "There must be someone in the courtroom tomorrow morning. Kong Qiu will truthfully present Fuling's previous confession, and the court will always hold me accountable for my negligence."
Shen Zechuan's palm was empty, and he said, "You want to retreat, but you can't retreat too obviously."
"When I get caught in the siege of verbal punishment, it will depend on how the emperor punishes me." Xiao Chiye said.
"It's light to stop the salary for a few months, heavy to think about it, the prince is still in the capital, everyone should always look at his face and won't criticize you too much."
"Big brother's days in Yedu are very short," Xiao Chiye stopped, "Once I am punished, no one will stop Hua Xiangyi and Qi Shiyu's marriage."
"It takes time to blend together," Shen Zechuan thought for a while, "Now that Qi Zhuyin is the military commander of the five counties in Qidong, I might be able to start with her."
Xiao Chiye remembered something and said, "I have a solution."
Shen Zechuan said, "What?"
"The Ministry of Rites has a record of the Hua Family's marriage in the past. I'll let them polish it up a bit, and then hand over the transcript to Qi Zhuyin, and she won't accept Hua Xiangyi easily."
"Marriage of distant relatives is not taboo in Dazhou, even cousins." Shen Zechuan said, "Qi Dashuai cares about this?"
"I don't care." Xiao Chiye explained, "As we all know, Qi Shiyu is lustful, and the Fuzhong has admitted many beauties in the five counties of Qidong, one of whom is his own niece. This lady gave birth a few years ago and gave birth to a child with defects. She was extremely ill and was buried within a few days. Later, when Qi Shiyu accepted another person, Qi Zhuyin was especially taboo, but she would not allow anyone to enter the door if there was a blood connection, even if it was a distant relative."
"But Hua Xiangyi was the one who was personally pointed by the Queen Mother," Shen Zechuan said. "The commander can't stop him even if he wants to."
"Since we can't stop it, we can only take a step back and let Hua San marry," Xiao Chiye said with a cold look in his eyes, "but we can't let her have children. She married Qi Shiyu, and she was the successor of Qidong's name. Madam, she gave birth to a child, and she is the direct son who can be called a direct line with Qi Zhuyin. Qi Zhuyin is a female, and it is not easy to conquer the soldiers and horses of the five counties in Qidong these years. Someone has another idea? If Hua Xiangyi has a boy, Qi Zhuyin will have to fall into an infighting of military power, and she needs a reason to suppress Hua Xiangyi."
"I heard that Qi's family has a son, but Qi Shiyu insisted on doing his own thing. He must give Qi Zhuyin the position of the military commander." Shen Zechuan said, "Isn't this out of love for talent?"
"Yes," Xiao Chiye said, "Qi Zhuyin was born to his wife, and he also taught him a general talent. When he had no son, he raised Qi Zhuyin as his son. Later, he had a son, but no one could compare to him. After Qi Zhuyin. Qidong was still fighting with Biansha at that time. Qi Shiyu was seriously injured and could not lead his troops. He was trapped on the east side of the Biansha company camp. No one of the Qi family’s sons dared to come out to accept orders. She persuaded Chijun, Bianjun and Suotianguan to join her in the battle, and then set fire to the Biansha company. This was also her famous battle. 'Precisely because she took the lead in that battle, drew her sword and wasted in flames, and recited Qi Shiyu. Qi Shiyu was hesitant at first, but after that time, she immediately handed over the seal to Qi Zhuyin and gave all the soldiers and horses of the five counties to Qi Zhuyin."
"The commander must get the consent of all the people," Shen Zechuan said. "It's not easy."
Xiao Chiye smiled. He touched the wrench on his thumb and said, "You never imagined that the person who sealed her was not Emperor Guangcheng."
Shen Zechuan tilted his head slightly.
"At that time, when the news came back to Qidong, all parties slammed it. Because Qi Zhuyin was a woman, the Ministry of War questioned her military exploits, and asked the cabinet to send the imperial censor and Jinyiwei to Qidong to find out. Emperor Guangcheng saw the enthusiasm of the crowd. , so he delayed Qidong's request and did not approve it. Later, the military merits review was correct, and the Ministry of Rites announced that she could be sealed, but she could not be sealed on the Yulongtai used by military generals, and she could only kneel and kowtow in front of the Mingli Hall."
Xiao Chiye paused for a while.
"It was the empress dowager who overcame the difficulties and let her set foot on Yulongtai, and she was dignifiedly named the commander of Qidong soldiers and horses."
