After coming out of the imperial palace, Zhou Jun looked back at the building and pavilion, looking thoughtful.
Yin Yu saw it from the side and couldn't help asking: "Erlang, what's wrong?"
Zhou Jun thought for a moment and replied: "Your Majesty just handed over the military affairs and ordered the Prime Minister to lead the troops to recover Chang'an, and also ordered me to conquer Hebei."
Yin Yu: "What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"
Zhou Jun said to Yin Yu: "Wu Qi talked about the crown prince proclaiming himself emperor today. Your Majesty was so angry that he fainted. When he woke up, he didn't mention a word about Jiangnan. He only talked about the plan to fight the rebels."
Yin Yu thought about it and felt strange: "According to my father's past temperament, if something like this happened, he would definitely issue an edict to denounce it and send troops to arrest people. Why did he do nothing today?"
Zhou Jun frowned, looked back at the Imperial Palace, and then said to Yin Yu: "Go back."
Yin Yu nodded, got on the carriage first, and then held the housework with Zhou Jun with a happy face: "Erlang, I met the imperial concubine today. She said that she will come to the mansion to stay for a long time."
Zhou Jun: "Long-term stay?"
Yin Yu: "Erlang went to Lingwu, and I'm afraid he won't be able to return home for a long time. The imperial concubine misses Xiao'er and doesn't like the dullness in the palace, so she wants to come and live in the mansion for a while."
Zhou Jun: "Are you afraid that your Majesty will be unhappy if your concubine moves here?"
Yin Yu lowered her voice, leaned close to Zhou Jun's ear, and whispered: "Erlang, I'm only telling you, don't tell anyone else."
Zhou Jun nodded lightly.
Yin Yu: "The imperial concubine told me that since coming to Liangzhou, my father has only been drinking all day long. He often got drunk and stayed up all night. The empress told me several times, but my father not only did not change at all, but also reprimanded me.
The empress couldn't stand it anymore, so she decided to leave the palace to relax."
Zhou Jun: "That's it."
Yin Yu: "If you ask me, the imperial concubine is also pitiful. The Yang family all died tragically in Maweipo, leaving her alone to live. The Tang Dynasty has become what it is today. My father only knows how to drink to relieve his sorrows every day.
I also heard that many officials privately scolded the imperial concubine as a disaster..."
Zhou Jun sighed: "How can it be that the Tang Dynasty fell into what it is today because of a woman? People in the world are greedy for profit and strive for power, which has led to chaos in the world and the displacement of the people... After the disaster, when looking for the culprit, you can't blame the sky, and you can't blame yourself.
Strange things come and go, and the blame can only be placed on one woman..."
Yin Yu kept nodding after hearing this.
Next, Zhou Jun will leave Liangzhou soon, and the days he can stay at home are getting shorter and shorter.
While his family is reluctant to leave him, they can only try their best to stay with him as much as possible.
That night, Yin Yu took Zhou Xiao to the inner garden to rest, while Zhou Jun was busy sorting out military reports in the study.
At the end of the moon, Zhou Jun finished his official duties, packed up his books, stood up and stretched, when he heard a slight sound coming from the door.
Zhou Jun asked: "Who is it?"
Song Ruo'e, who was wearing a long goose-yellow undershirt, walked in and called Erlang while rubbing her sleepy eyes.
Seeing that her face looked tired, Zhou Jun asked, "Have you been waiting outside?"
Song Ruo'e: "Erlang is busy with official duties, and Ruo'e is waiting in the outer room."
Zhou Jun rubbed Song Ruo'e's cold hands and advised: "Just say it when you enter the house."
Song Ruo'e shook her head, took Zhou Jun's hand, walked out of the house, and said: "We have guests here today. We have been waiting for Erlang for a long time."
Zhou Jun: "Guest?"
Song Ruo'e pulled Zhou Jun into her bedroom.
By the candlelight in the room, Zhou Jun took a closer look and found that Jie Qin, who was wearing a green shirt, was also in the room.
Jie Qin was simmering fruit tea over a slow fire. When she saw Zhou Jun entering the door, she stood up and said the Wanfu blessing and Erlang.
Smelling the faint aroma of fruit tea in his nose, Zhou Jun looked at Jie Qin and asked with a smile: "When did you come? Why didn't you show up?"
Xie Qin smiled lightly.
Song Ruo'e rushed to say: "She is thin-skinned and hides in the room and doesn't want to go out!"
Hearing this, Xie Qin rolled his eyes at Song Ruo'e and changed the topic: "Erlang is going to Lingwu soon?"
Zhou Jun nodded and said, "I'll be leaving in a few days."
Song Ruo'e took the fruit tea from the stove, poured a cup for each of the three of them, and said: "Listening to the two of you talking, it's very boring."
Zhou Jun took a sip of the fruit tea made by Jie Qin, and a refreshing warm fragrance spread from the esophagus to the whole body, making people sigh with satisfaction.
Jie Qin secretly glanced at Zhou Jun and said softly: "If Erlang likes it, why not write down the recipe and go to Lingwu so that you can drink this tea every day."
Zhou Jun shook his head: "The recipe is just a piece of paper. If the person making the tea were replaced, the taste would be weak."
When Xie Qin heard this, he was deeply touched and couldn't help but smile on his face.
Song Ruo'e listened for a long time and finally became impatient.
She kicked off her shoes first, then pulled Jie Qin to the big bed in the bedroom, stretched out her hand to untie the latter's skirt.
Jie Qin was caught off guard and asked in shock: "What are you doing?!"
Song Ruo'e quickly took off the skirt belt of her skirt and stretched her hand towards the latter's inner jacket.
Jie Qin grabbed the button of her coat, with a look of shame and annoyance on her face, and shouted to Song Ruo'e: "You stupid bitch, you are seeking death!"
Song Ruo'e: "Last time, you and I drank wine and wrote poems with Erlang until late at night, and we slept together that night. You are not so reserved."
Hearing this, Xie Qin's face turned red, and he hesitated: "That's... that's because he was drunk..."
Song Ruo'e turned her head and saw Zhou Jun standing at the door of the bedroom, throwing the skirt tie in his hand on the ground, and said with a smile: "Isn't Erlang just looking at it, why don't you come over to help?"
Zhou Jun looked at the skirt thrown in front of his eyes, smiled helplessly, and walked to the big bed in the bedroom.
Youdao is:
The flowers are bright and the moon is shrouded in mist. It's a good time to go to Langbian tonight.
After Yun Yu took a break, Xie Qin hugged Zhou Jun and looked at Song Ruo'e who was exhausted and sleeping soundly on the other side. She couldn't help but complain in a low voice: "The ones who shout are the happiest, and the ones who beg for mercy are the quickest."
Zhou Jun hugged Xie Qin and asked softly: "How have you considered what I told you before?"
Xie Qin was stunned when he heard this, and unconsciously buried his head on Zhou Jun's chest, whispering: "I can't bear it."
Zhou Jun: "Why not? Don't you want to join the government?"
Xie Qin hesitated for a moment and said: "I am self-aware. In terms of appearance, talent and learning, I am not as good as his daughter. I only have some skills in collecting information and sorting out the situation. Rather than entering the house and attracting criticism from others, it is better to stay in Liang."
In the prefecture city, follow the example of Huaqiong Tower and redevelop the eyes and ears for Erlang."
Zhou Jun lowered his head to look at Jie Qin, sighed, and asked, "Have you thought about it?"
Xie Qin: "I have thought about it. I used the belongings Erlang gave me earlier to choose a good house in the Huamen Tower in Liangzhou City and turned it into a music garden. Now, the decoration is nearing completion.
, it will be opened next month.”
Zhou Jun nodded and said: "Now that you have made up your mind, I will no longer advise you. There is someone who has a long history with me and has inherited my kindness. You can keep in touch with him more."
Xie Qin: "Who is it?"
Zhou Jun: "Fan Jinian is the regular attendant in charge of the ceremony."
Xie Qin: "Fan Jinian? But the eunuch with the palm print next to His Majesty?"
Zhou Jun: "That's him."
Jie Qin thought for a moment and asked Zhou Jun: "Does Erlang want to use him to find out about His Majesty's truth?"
Zhou Jun: "Being prepared means being prepared. If the palace really has something on its mind, it is better to find some clues in advance than not knowing anything at all."
Xie Qin nodded and said: "I heard that the palace is recruiting maids, why not use this relationship to connect with Duke Fan?"
Zhou Jun: "Okay, let's do it like this. If you need anything, just come to the house and ask for it."
