Beijing.
"Master Shen."
Shen Biyu was stopped on the road.
The person who stopped her was a young man wearing a simple blue robe with a long knife hanging from his waist.
"Who are you?"
Shen Biyu's heart skipped a beat.
The dignitaries in the capital are also very afraid of one kind of people, and that is the hidden guards.
Hidden guards often come to your door, and the consequences are unpredictable.
The man in front of him is a hidden guard.
"Don't be afraid, Mr. Shen. I am following the orders from the top to ask Mr. Shen about your intention." The young man clasped his fists in salute and said with a slight smile.
"Up to the peak? Which peak?" Shen Biyu asked.
"I apologize for not revealing Shangfeng's identity." The young man said politely.
"Does the hidden guard even care about where ordinary people go to play?" Shen Biyu frowned and said unhappily.
In the past, she would not have dared to speak like this to the hidden guard, but since being rescued by Zi Yan under Yang Ruoqing's instructions, she has obtained a token of the Zhongyong Marquis.
In the capital, the brand of Zhongyong Hou Luo Fengtang is still very easy to use. He has to give some thin noodles up and down.
"The Hidden Guard will not care about ordinary people's entertainment, but the request from the top must be fulfilled. Everyone Shen, I have no ill intentions. I just want to find out what you are doing in Erli Street." The young man said.
These words already had a hint of toughness.
"What if I don't want to say it?" Shen Biyu raised her eyebrows and her voice became colder.
"Then I can't let you go." The young man said firmly.
"I want to see you go up to the peak!" Shen Biyu said coldly. She was already preparing to take out the token of Marquis Zhongyong to deal with the danger.
She didn't believe a word of what the hidden guard said.
She didn't believe that this hidden guard really approached her without any malice. Many hidden guards were very cunning.
Just as the young man was about to speak, he saw the two people turning around the corner of the street from the corner of his eye.
Wang Yun glared at the young man and moved his lips a few times.
Although, he didn't say anything.
But the young man had already understood Wang Yun's meaning.
Because he is an elite among the hidden guards, he can lip read!
What Wang Yun said is... I will deal with you when I go back...
The young man bowed his head and retreated, not daring to speak any more.
Without the young man's body blocking his view, Shen Biyu saw the two people appearing from the street corner.
"Your Majesty..." Shen Biyu couldn't help but exclaimed, but she only shouted one word before Qi Xingyun waved her hand to stop her, preventing her from saying the next word.
"Master Shen, this is Master Yun." Wang Yun whispered.
Shen Biyu understood what Qi Xingyun meant.
He doesn't want to expose his identity outside.
"Master Yun, the one who just mentioned going up to the peak..."
"That's me." Qi Xingyun said calmly, "Master Shen, why did you come to Erli Street?"
Shen Biyu bowed and saluted: "Master Yun, I am about to meet a young man."
"Come to meet the servant in person? Mr. Shen, my young master has become interested, how about we go together?" Qi Xingyun's lips raised a smile. He didn't know why it was strange for Shen Biyu to come to see a servant in person.
"Master Yun is willing to come, and the slave family is lucky." Of course Shen Biyu did not dare to refuse.
The person in front of her was the current Holy Emperor. She didn't even dare to look at him, so how could she dare to say no.
"Master Shen, let's go. By the way, let me tell you about the origin of this young man."
"Master Yun, that boy's name is Lin Shancheng. He is the grandson of the censor Lin Wanshan. His family is backward and he can only make a living as a waiter in a tavern." Shen Biyu said while leading the way.
"Censor Lin Wanshan? Why haven't I heard of this person?" Qi Xingyun asked in surprise.
"This is the censor during the time of the Supreme Emperor. He was involved in the examination fraud case more than ten years ago. He was betrayed and exiled for three thousand miles. He later died in prison." Shen Biyu said.
The examination fraud case more than ten years ago?
Qi Xingyun thought about it for a while. He was a little impressed, but not very impressed.
More than ten years ago, he was still a prince, and not a prince at all. He planned to seize the heir all day long, so he naturally did not have a deep understanding of the complicated court.
There have been numerous cases of cheating in examinations, and Daqi has had several cases over the years. Many people were involved, and many high-ranking officials were involved in it.
A censor is not a big official, and it is normal for him to be involved in it in an inconspicuous way. It is normal for him to be unable to see and remember.
"Lin Shancheng is a good young man. He has read books, has great literary talent, and has a flexible mind. He has no problem being a report editor. One time, the slave family met this man in a hotel. They cherished his talent and took him back to Zhuang Yulou. …”
Shen Biyu explained the cause and effect in a few words.
"Originally, he did a good job, and the slave family planned to raise his salary. Unexpectedly, something happened recently." Shen Biyu's face became serious.
Qi Xingyun didn't speak. He glanced at Shen Biyu and motioned for her to continue.
Shen Biyu had concerns at first, but now she met the emperor, and the emperor asked her to speak, so she had to speak.
"Linshan City has been spotted..." Shen Biyu whispered.
"Which lady is she from?" Qi Xingyun finally couldn't help but speak.
"It's not a young lady..."
Shen Biyu looked strange, took a deep breath and said, "It's an adult, Lord Feng Jiagui."
"Feng Jiagui, the young minister of Taipu Temple?" Qi Xingyun asked.
"Master Yun, this is this person, Lord Feng Jiagui."
Dapusi is an official who specializes in managing carriages and horses. Dapusi Shaoqing has a high official position. He is the fourth rank and has a position above the court.
There are many officials, big and small, in the court, and it is impossible for the emperor to know them all.
Qi Xingyun was a wise man and could only understand some high-ranking officials, but he was still familiar with high-ranking officials like Feng Jiagui.
Hearing what Shen Biyu said, Qi Xingyun was shocked and said: "Feng Jiagui is about fifty years old. He is elegant and good at poetry and painting. He is one of the famous Confucian scholars in Dongling Academy. He likes Lin Shancheng's talent? Is Lin Shancheng so good? Great ability?"
Feng Jiagui was a man who was well versed in poetry and calligraphy. Qi Xingyun remembered that this man had once spoken against him in front of the emperor. He was indeed very knowledgeable and had already written books. He was worthy of the status of a great scholar.
"Feng Jiagui and Feng Yueheng are both Feng family members, but they should be distant relatives and come from two different Feng families." Qi Xingyun continued.
Both of them were great Confucians, and many Confucian classics were revised and improved by them.
"Lin Shancheng, how could his talent and learning be so impressive to Mr. Feng? He is... ugh..." Shen Biyu sighed faintly.
"Could it be?" Qi Xingyun's eyes narrowed slightly. He already understood what Shen Biyu meant. If that was the case, Shen Biyu would be really embarrassed to say it. She didn't dare to say it and it made sense.
You must know that a great scholar like Feng Jiagui is also the face of the imperial court, and his official position as Shaoqing of Taipu Temple was arranged by Qi Xingyun.
When something goes wrong, Qi Xingyun's face will be hit first.
If it had been another emperor, perhaps this matter would have gone away. After all, in high-level circles, liking men is not a bad thing, but an arty and elegant thing.
