Leaving the city, go to the governor's palace.
The sky was getting dark, and the rain that had been falling for a long time finally stopped. However, the clouds in the sky did not disperse. They covered the entire city, and even the sunset could not be seen.
But even so, it feels good to stand on the Tingyu Tower next to the harem lake, open all the windows, let the fresh air after the rain blow over your face, and look down at the entire harem garden.
Luo Chuan stood in front of the window facing the lake, stretched out his hand to hold on to the railing, and asked Gao Shixian behind him, "I heard that Luo Yun's mother liked to stand here and enjoy the scenery the most during her lifetime?"
Gao Shixian bowed his body and said cautiously, "Return to your Majesty, that person... really likes to stay in Tingyu Tower, but the Tingyu Tower at that time was not as high as the Tingyu Tower today. If we had to compare it, the position where the Lord stands now would be on the top of Tingyu Tower."
Luo Chuan laughed it off, then lowered his head to look at the small glazed building downstairs near the lake. From this angle, he could see the full picture of the side-by-side snow lotus in it. Even though he was standing very high, he could still feel the pounding. The thick water vapor spread around the small glazed building where Bingdi Snow Lotus was located, and rushed to the surroundings in waves. "Now people are coming to practice outside this small building, right? Lao Yang is there." Are you still used to it?"
Gao Shixian said, "I'm used to it. He has a dull temper. He used to guard the private treasury and library, but now he guards the Liuli Pavilion. In short, he makes a leisurely living. I went to see him a few days ago, and he still He said that he was cultivating under this lotus and got twice the result with half the effort. He was very grateful to the Lord. Even if he drives him away now, he won't leave." He slightly raised his head and glanced at Luo Chuan's side face, and then said, "But the Lord is not here. At that time, the old slave gave his instructions privately. After all, the palace is an important place, and although all the people who come here are women, no one is allowed to stay here at night..."
"I don't understand these things," Luo Chuan said nonchalantly, "Just follow the old rules of the palace. The same goes for the sycamore tree?"
Gao Shixian hurriedly said, "Returning to the master, if we follow the palace's rules in the past, idlers and others are not allowed to enter during the day. But since the master has said so, I will still let the slaves come in during the day."
"That's it. There are no rules and it really doesn't look good." Luo Chuan lowered his head and saw a middle-aged man holding an umbrella upside down downstairs in Tingyu being surrounded by a group of palace guards for inspection. He couldn't help but smile, "Old Gao, how is the business of your grandson's sorghum drunk now?"
Hearing this, Gao Shixian bent his body even lower and said in a slightly trembling voice, "The Lord, who has so many things to do, still remembers that this old slave doesn't care about his grandson's shop. The old slave is really..."
"Hey, let's talk human talk," Luo Chuan interrupted Gao Shixian helplessly.
"Yes," Gao Shixian hurriedly changed his words, "Since the Lord allowed my grandson to add the inscription on the door plaque, I actually had a few free days. Until later, several court officials went there one after another and drank our wine. Sorghum wine is now slowly getting customers, and the people who come and go are no longer ordinary customers, but more officials and scholars, and the business is much better than before."
Luochuan was silent for a moment and asked, "Which adults have gone there?"
Gao Shixian raised his head and looked at Luo Chuan's face again, and then said softly, "The first one to go was Lord Dou, the county prime minister. He drank a bowl of wine for half a day, and then came Lord Zhao and General Luo, the county captain. Everyone drank a lot and returned home in the middle of the night. After that, there were Lord Gongsun, the chief official of the household, Lord Zhou, the chief official of the department, Lord Xie, the chief treasurer, and General Xie Pi's family, as well as many other officials inside and outside the court, as well as scholars. I wrote a poem for our store and left it behind. The old slave asked his grandson to frame it and hang it. It looks a bit elegant, which is really good.".net
Luo Chuan turned to look at Gao Shixian and said with a smile, "You old Gao," he saw the middle-aged man carrying an umbrella on the other side coming upstairs. Without waiting for anyone to salute, he pointed at him and asked Gao Shixian, "Let's Didn’t your adjutant, Mr. Kizawa Yanmu, go to your place for a glass of sorghum wine?”
Gao Shixian turned around, looked up at the middle-aged man, and said with a humble smile, "Master Mu is busy with official duties, so he must have no time to spare."
Mu Zeyan glanced sideways at Gao Shixian, ignored him, and took two steps forward to salute Luochuan, "My minister, Mu Zeyan, has met the prefect."
"No courtesy," Luo Chuan said
Mu Zeyan waved and said, "This Tingyu Tower has just been built, and the tables, chairs and decorations haven't been put in yet. Zeyan and I can come here and stand for a while."
Mu Zeyan stood up and said yes, strode to stand between Luochuan and Gao Shixian, glanced sideways at Gao Shixian, and the latter bent down and exited the door, closing the door.
Luo Chuan glanced at Mu Zeyan and said, "Lao Gao is the only chief minister in the prefecture's palace now. Dou Juncheng always treats him with a bit of contempt when he sees him. If you treat him like this, aren't you afraid that he will say bad things about you in the future? "
Mu Zeyan didn't even think about it, and said loudly with disdain, "I behave in a well-behaved manner, and I am upright in my actions. I am loyal to the prefect at the top, and worthy of the common people at the bottom. How can I be afraid of what a mere eunuch will say behind his back?"
"You," Luo Chuan was a little helpless. He glanced behind him and saw the shadow that had appeared in the corner of the room at some point and nodded at him. Knowing that the soundproofing circle had been activated, he looked back at the middle-aged man in front of him and wanted to say something. Feeling that it was just a waste of words, he just let it go, "Does Ze Yan know why I summoned you to the palace this time?"
Mu Ze said, "One is about the Yan family's private communication with Luoyun, and the other is about storing grain for war preparations."
Luo Chuan was speechless. "What is fornication?! Zeyan, what you are saying now is really getting more and more unpleasant."
Mu Zeyan had a rigid look on his face and did not take Luo Chuan's criticism seriously. He continued, "If you break the rules and have a private affair, you can naturally call it an affair."
"Okay, okay, let's talk about this," Luo Chuan had no intention of arguing with him. He just thought that because he had done things involving the Silu government office, he had to be selfless?
After just a change of thought, he stopped thinking about it and asked, "How did you know about this?"
Mu Ze said, "Originally, I didn't know about it. It was only earlier today that the elders of my family sent someone to tell me that I knew about it. I was about to go find Lord Zhao, the prefect, when I was summoned here by the Lord Prefect."
"Oh?" Luo Chuan looked at the lake downstairs thoughtfully, "If I remember correctly, although the Mu family is not as good as the Zhou family and the Gongsun family, it can be regarded as a serious family in Lijun. Well, if a junior of the Yan family did something like this, you neither went to Yan Tieying nor Zhou Zhongqing, how could you think of going to the county captain Zhao?"
Mu Zeyan raised his head and looked at the lake downstairs like Luo Chuan. At this time, it was getting darker and darker, and the lake was completely dark. There were only dots of blue light spreading in the direction of the glazed hut downstairs, which seemed to reflect the sky in advance. Like the stars in the sky, it floats on the water, "The Luo family where General Luo lives is also a serious family ranked high in the military platoon of Li County, but doesn't General Luo often go to the Zhao County Lieutenant's Mansion?"
Luochuan turned to look at Mu Zeyan, but met a pair of calm and calm eyes.
Mu Zeyan said slowly, "Aren't the two of us just homeless and unable to return home... we are lonely ministers."
