Chapter 024 – New and Old Schemers in New and Old Temples

The last winter before Liyang changed the year number. A good snow year, this winter wheat cover three layers of quilt, the next year will be able to sleep on the pillow buns ah.

This day there is no morning court, the emperor led a more voluminous scale of the grand civil and military officials to the northern suburbs of the altar sacrifice, not tired of the morning court, the officials are refreshed, running to dip the official air of power and prestige along the way, the people are eye-opening, some of the team with the high ranking officials far from relatives with the people of the city, are there smugly bragged about how the relationship between the ceramic, around the know the roots of the neighbors naturally laugh and do not say anything, some of the people separated by several streets. A number of streets away from the people are listening to a shock. Sixty percent of the people are rushing to the new Secretary of the Ministry of War Chen Zhi Bao, thirty percent of the people are curious about how the son of Northern Liang in the end is a young man, the people are like this, even if the ears listen to the son of His Royal Highness of the cocoon of bad words, but really when he made in the Royal Road tore a hundred feet of the ground of the feat of the suspicion of, is still the heart of the shock, even if the size of the capital in the Taoist Temple of the people say that by virtue of the yin object, is not worth mentioning, but the hearts of the people is still intangible. The people’s hearts are still invariably high that the Northern Liang son too much, too Ancheng playing with swords and playing with knives of the fop without 100,000, there are also 10,000, which one has this ability? It seems that this white-headed young man from the Northern Liang out, is really not everyone can bully the stubble.

Muttering at the same time, the people also have a small plan in their hearts, and later follow the wind up to scold the Northern Liang, is not the mouth to be lenient and virtuous some? In case it falls into the ears of the father and son of the Prince of Liang, won’t it be a disaster?

Chen Zhi Bao a big red python coat, but unfortunately did not mention that a rod of plum wine, queue in the emperor specially arranged for him to be like a ride alone, the capital women, whether it is a girl or a small family, whether it is to be in a girl’s room or has been a woman, are all for the fall.

Nearby Yanzhi King Zhao Bing, Guangling King Zhao Yi, Jiaodong King Zhao Suo, Huainan King Zhao Ying, Jing’an King Zhao Xun, six clan kings, style is almost all Chen Zhi Bao a person to take away.

All are wearing yellow python clothes of the princes, and with a white head of a white python clothes with eye-catching deliberately pull a distance.

A young blind man in the maid apricot help down to the side of the road, did not have to squeeze into it, just stand quietly in the onlookers flocked to set up a thick team of the outer edge, when Xu Fengyen rode through the street, apricot softly reminded of a sentence, from the city of Xiangfan rushed to the blind Lu said he looked up to “look at it”, his face was solemn, Yongzixiang sit down to talk about the ten games! The game was played from noon to twilight on the chessboard, and it was unforgettable. Apricot carefully reached out to protect the old King Jing’an asked her to risk his life to protect the scholar, the old King only said he wanted him to live, she did not hope that one day the new King would want him to die, the least of which would have to die in the hands of her apricot flowers. Apricot Blossom and him have an extremely tacit understanding, speech without fear, soft voice asked: “Prince, you recognize the Northern Liang Shi Zi?”

Lu Daan also did not hide, smiled and said: “I am blind, it is not good to say what has had a one-sided relationship, in Yongzi Alley gambling chess to make a living, earned Xu Shizi a good number of coins. Ten games of chess, earned to hand a full one hundred and ten Wen.”

Xinghua laughed, “He can play chess too? Still not killed by you, my lord?”

Lu Daan shook his head and said, “Chess skills are quite not bad, there are extremely many irrational hands, and I didn’t win easily.”

After the master and servant stayed for a few moments, was about to leave, apricot blossom violently turned around, dead eyes on the distance walking an old Confucian, can not recognize the real age of the readers itself is not enough to fear, but latent qi, so that the dead apricot blossom such as an enemy, such as an ocean of unbridled influx.

Lu Dang patted her arm, made a bow and asked, “But Mr. Yuan?”

The visitor laughed softly and vaguely, “Yuan Park, a minor editorial cultivator of the Hanlin Academy.”

Lu Yan stood still with a calm demeanor, surprised surprise fearless.

Yuan Park, or rather Yuan Benxi took a few steps closer, ignoring the apricot blossom that was like a tigress that chose to devour others, and continued to say in his vague but still authentic Beijing accent, “Mr. Lu is in a cocoon of his own, and he has succumbed to his talent.”

Lu Daan shook his head and said, “New temple new climate, the temple is small, the incense is not too little. The old temple temple again big, when the rain leaks water, when the wind leaks wind, you are to me as a host, also not willing to go. What’s more, the old temple is a big temple, no matter how much incense, strife is destined to be more. When to be kicked out of the temple do not know. What’s more, Lu Daan is blind and doesn’t know people, but he knows his own weight and doesn’t want to become the next Song family member.”

Yuan Benxi seemed to be amused, even with Nalan Righteousness, who was comparable in intellect, he did not have this kind of interest in wanting to talk, and said, “Mr. Lu, don’t forget why the Song family’s old husband died, and why the Song family’s old temple collapsed.”

Lu Daan said flatly, “Ordinary wealthy families kill their children and grandchildren with goods and wealth. The Song family kills future generations with their academics and deserved to die a long time ago. Furthermore, Mr. Yuan should not forget who borrowed my sword to support the Song family fledglings.”

Yuan Benxi faintly smiled knowingly, then sighed, “There are as many as a dozen people I have chosen as Crown Prince, and Song Ke Li is the least noticeable. I’m afraid that even Nalan Righteousness had to leave the capital to think of this plot.”

Lu Dang shook his head again and said, “Mr. Nalan’s scheming is not in the capital, not even in the temple, and Mr. Yuan each walks on a single wooden bridge Yangguan Road, naturally, he does not take the trouble to think more about these things, and inevitably, there will be omissions.”

Yuan Benxi fell into deep thought.

Yuan Benxi slowly asked, “The Prince of Northern Liang has introduced you, what should you do?”

Lu Daan asked rhetorically, “To be in one’s position and seek one’s own administration, isn’t this where the bottom line of a strategist lies?”

Yuan Benxi laughed, “I don’t believe all of it when others say such crowning words, but I believe seven or eight percent of it when you, Lu Dang, say it.”

Apricot Blossom is just a dead soldier living in a corner of Xiangfan, even if her talent is not low, she would never have thought that the old Confucian who talked to Mr. Lu would be the chief strategist of the Liyang Dynasty who is above all people and not under one person, but no matter how ignorant she is, Apricot Blossom still knows Nalan Ruoci’s greatness. Not to mention the rumors that Nalan and King Yan Zhi Ci had a broken sleeve fetish, Nalan himself was a first-class tactician of the Spring and Autumn Period. Apricot flower at this time headache lies in how to go with King Jing’an Zhao Xun to expound today’s insights, how not to be meticulous personal feelings, but also let Mr. Lu not be the new King Jing’an the slightest suspicion of suspicion.

Yuan Benxi asked, “Why didn’t you go to Northern Liang?”

Lu Dang laughed, “I wanted to go, but Xu Fenian didn’t take me out of Yongzi Lane.”

Yuan Benxi laughed loudly, turned his head to Xinghua and directly said the real name that even Lu Dang did not know, “Liu Lingbao, earlier I gossiped with Lu Dang about the words, you, despite the factual report to Zhao Xun, if you want to live a few more years with your Gongzi, don’t bring up this sentence.”

Apricot Blossom’s face paled.

Yuan Benxi said, “Farewell on this account.”

Lu Dang hesitated for a moment and said to Xinghua, “Thank you, Mr. Yuan, for rewarding me with a ten-year life preservation talisman.”

Apricot Flower was bewildered, but still gave a Wan Fu like a woman in an unusual portal.

Yuan Benxi waved his hand and turned to leave.

Apricot Flower’s lips trembled as she asked softly, “Gongzi, life preserving talisman? What is the explanation for this?”

Lu Daan frankly said, “Our King Jing’an is suspicious by nature, before he made his fortune, he could hold back, but once he achieved great power, he would inevitably get carried away and would have to settle old scores with others. Mr. Yuan, on the other hand, is a character he wouldn’t dare to mess with no matter how powerful he is, this gentleman saw me today and is gifting me with a life preservation talisman for me, which naturally means it’s also for you.”

Apricot Blossom said with a miserable face, “These words will also rot in my belly, please don’t worry, Your Excellency.”

Lu Daan suddenly rubbed Apricot Blossom’s hair and softly laughed, “Liu Lingbao, this name is blessed.”

Apricot Blossom suddenly smiled brightly, “Borrowing from Your Excellency.”

Lu Daan turned his head to “look” and said to himself, “Northern Liang.”
