As night falls on this day, when the moon rises above the willow trees, the night wind is still cold, and the bustling market place is much less popular than usual, but the houses and lanes in Pingkangfang are still lively, with the sound of pipa,

The sound of music, the singing of beauties, and the laughter of husbands are intertwined together, which enhances the atmosphere to the extreme.

I saw the most famous Ying Wu's house in the shop. There were two red painted pillars in front of the door, and the hanging lanterns were low-key and luxurious. They shimmered like shadow puppets. As soon as you walked inside and passed the flowers and willows, you came to a rockery.

The flowing water courtyard and the houses behind the corridors on both sides are filled with the sound of laughter.

At this moment, in the largest and brightest room in the middle, several elegantly dressed men are sitting on seats. In the middle, there are several musicians playing drums, flutes, or playing the piano, all surrounding a slender man wearing aqua skirts.

The woman listened to the lively tunes and watched the woman's wonderful green waist dance. All the men present were intoxicated with it. Only one man lying on the bed was bending his legs and beating time.

"well--"

As the dance ended, the man took the lead in stroking his hands and giving a drink. Hearing the bursts of applause, the fake mother on the side saw it and immediately stepped forward with a smile and said: "Mother Ying, please thank our Mr. Yu Erlang quickly."

After hearing this, the green-waist dancing woman naturally smiled and gracefully stepped forward to salute the man on the bed. The man in front of her, in her thirties, with a gentle and handsome appearance, was a popular figure today.

The general manager of Jingzhou, Yu Shijing, the younger brother of Chu Duke Yu Dingfang.

After hearing this, Yu Shijing immediately stood up with satisfaction, lifted up the catkins in front of her with her own hands, glanced at the people beside her, and handed over a tray with a wink, looking at the gold and jade items on it, she looked like she was used to the scene.

My mother was also smiling.

At this moment, Yu Shijing heard bursts of commotion outside, and frowned: "Who is making the noise?"

"There is a gentleman next door who is having a drinking contest with someone——"

Yu Shijing was a little disapproving when she heard this, but she still stood up and said, "You guys continue, I'll come as soon as I go."

When he walked out of here, he saw that the next door room was extremely busy. When he walked over, he smelled the fragrant aroma of wine entering his nose.

How could he, who has always been a good drinker, not realize that the aromas of these wines are all rare and good wines, and I'm afraid one sip is worth a thousand pieces of gold.

Looking for this smell, Yu Shijing naturally walked in. Sure enough, it was crowded with people, and the dazzling array of fine wines on the table aroused the greed in his heart.

"You can tell at a glance that this gentleman is a wine lover. But if you compare with the previous one, whoever guesses the name of the wine has more origins. I will personally offer you a jar of each of these fine wines."

Hearing that this person was generous, Yu Shijing also became interested and said: "Okay, then I will be respectful and accept your orders."

When the people around him made way, Yu Shijing lifted up his robe and sat down, and started fighting one by one. He almost didn't need to drink, just smelled the food, and Yu Shijing could guess very accurately, how could the person next to him be his opponent?

.

So it didn't take long for those people to be defeated one by one. Seeing Yu Shijing tell the origin of the name of the last drink, the man sitting opposite him who invited him immediately put his hands on his hands and laughed and said: "Okay, today we meet our close friends over wine.

"

When the results came out, the people gathered gradually dispersed. Just as the man was sending out all kinds of fine wine in a redwood box, Yu Shijing smiled and returned the greeting, but saw the person in front of her saying: "I have to meet my brother today. It can be said that we meet each other on high mountains and rivers."

My dear friend, I also brought a bottle of wine, which is right next door, but it’s even more wonderful than these. Would you like some, brother?”

Yu Shijing said "Oh?", and her eyes that were a little tipsy started to shine again.

After he walked out of the house and came to the most secluded courtyard of the Yingwu family, as soon as he opened the door, the man smiled and invited him to come in first. Yu Shijing did not refuse when he saw this.

As soon as he entered, he saw that it was warm and simple inside. Just when he was thinking about the wine, he saw a person sitting behind the curtain, looking at each other, and he suddenly woke up from the wine.

Isn’t that King Yang Che of Qin?

"King Qin——"

There was silence here, except for Yu Shijing who didn't know what was going on and hurriedly bowed his head.

"Young Master, there is no need to be polite, please get up quickly."

Before Yu Shijing could react, he felt a pair of hands lifting him up, and when he raised his head, he met King Qin's easy-going gaze.

I had known that Prince Wen was capable of wielding a pen and ink, and that he was capable of wielding a sword and riding a horse. Not only that, he was also very kind to others and had never acted like an emperor. The meeting today only deepened Yu Shijing's thoughts.

"I've heard that Shaoqing is good at drinking. Is this wine still acceptable today?"

Hearing Yang Che's words, Yu Shijing was extremely surprised. Why didn't he understand that it seemed like they were just having a wine fight, but in fact, these wines were prepared just for him.

Thinking of this, Yu Shijing quickly said: "King Qin, your wine is very rare. How dare I accept it? I still--"

"A sword is given to a hero, and a fine wine is given to a close friend. You don't have to refuse, young sir. Today's wine can be regarded as a gift for you and me to get acquainted."

"This, this-"

Seeing that the person in front of him hesitated, Yang Che raised his jaw slightly, and the man who had just invited Yu Shijing in retreated, closed the door, and stood guard outside.

"Young Master is hesitant. Could it be that he has some concerns about me——"

"No, no, it's my honor to get to know you."

Seeing Yu Shijing's quick denial, Yang Che smiled to ease the atmosphere, raised his head in person and invited Yu Shijing to sit down nearby, and then said: "We are not in the court today, and there are no kings and ministers. You and I can just treat each other as brothers."

In Yu Shijing's shocked pupils, Yang Che had already poured a cup of tea for him. Yu Shijing was so surprised that he quickly held it with both hands, feeling flattered.

"Brother Hui Bo is the young minister of Dali Temple in our court, and brother Ru is also an important minister in our court. Looking at the court, there are very few people who can be like your brothers."

After hearing Yang Che's words, Yu Shijing hurriedly said respectfully: "The king's kindness is like the sea, and the emperor's kindness is mighty."

Yang Che smiled when he heard this. He didn't say yes or no. He just took a leisurely sip of tea and then said, "Brother, have you ever thought about whether it will be like this in the future?"

After hearing Yang Che's words, Yu Shijing was stunned for a moment, then moved his eyebrows, seeming to understand something.

"Now Aye trusts you. It is all you who have made great contributions to our Yang family, but the clothes are not as good as new, and the people are not as good as before -"

As he spoke, Yang Che glanced at Yu Shijing, whose pupils dimmed, and said: "Now in the East Palace, there is the Crown Prince Lu Zhou, in Wu there is Zhao Yi, the Royal Palace Prince, and behind him there is the Taishan of Chen Guogong Yang Yuanjing. I'm afraid you want to go further. The East Palace is Teng.

I can’t get out of my seat.”

As soon as these words came out, Yu Shijing woke up instantly. Looking at King Qin in front of him, his mind couldn't help but become busy rapidly.

Yes, now that the fire is cooking, I am blinded.

Although the emperor strictly forbids the prince from making friends with ministers, the people standing in the court hall are people, and people will be friendly and related to each other.

It is true that the Yu family is in full bloom now, but that is because the person sitting on the throne is Emperor Jingyuan. But when the East Palace comes to power, who will the Yu family be in front of the prince? Where will they be ranked?

Why don't people promote their own Taishan and teachers instead of promoting their Yu family?

Yu Shijing knew very well that the wealth of the Yu family today was due to the emperor's favor and her brother's high position. Once these two things were lost, it would be the end of the tree.

Now that the East Palace has the right time and place, it is a bustling place. If they want to stand in line and get a share of the pie, they are probably just dreaming.

What's more, His Majesty has always disliked the East Palace. If they dare to show goodwill to the East Palace at this time, they will be slapping the emperor's face. They are afraid that the glory and wealth in front of them will be lost first, and even their lives may not be saved.

Thinking of this, Yu Shijing realized that the two brothers had actually fallen into a situation where there was a wolf in front of them and a tiger in the back. She was immediately frightened and felt chills running down her spine.

"Your situation now is my situation. Even if we meet in desperate situations, it may not be a fate."

As if he could see what Yu Shijing was thinking, Yang Che took the lead and said step by step: "It depends on whether you are willing, Brother Hui Bo."

As soon as these words came out, Yu Shijing was suddenly shocked, and when she raised her head, she met Yang Che's eyes.

In the silence, he suddenly realized that the King of Qin in front of him had unexpectedly developed such a fierce imperial aura. Compared with the virtues of the East Palace, he seemed more like the future king of a country and the controller of the world.

Either take sides and break the current situation.

Or just be a spectator, waiting to be cleared out of the Chang'an court.
