My historian is dying every day

Chapter 114 [They are not easy]

No matter how urgent the king of a country is to leave the palace, he will be delayed for a while.

Qi Yu went back to Yanfu Palace, changed his clothes, and got on the carriage. He thought that Gong Zhiyuan's house would not leave the boundary between the east, west, north, south, and four squares in the middle of Beijing. They are still walking after going out of Nanfang.

He kicked the hidden guard outside: "Is that right?" It's too far away.

The secret guard shook his head quickly, "Your Majesty, Mr. Gong's house is at the foot of the southern city wall, and he has to walk for a while."

Qi Yu paused, nodded, and put down the curtain again.

Presumably he often went to Wen's mansion, to Wen Yanzhi's small courtyard, or to the mansions of Taishi Zhou and Taifu Lin back then. They all lived within three or four streets of the city center, so he almost forgot, humble man How can the son afford these boundary houses.

The housing prices of the four squares in the east, west, north, and south of the capital are extremely high, and they can accommodate all the civil and military officials who are going up to the fourth rank and fifth rank. Yamen, with countless merchants, rich merchants, restaurants and karaoke workshops, is already big enough.Then he saw that this road left Nanfang, and from the palace to Gong Zhiyuan's house, it took two quarters of an hour for a carriage, not to mention that Gong Zhiyuan, who didn't have a carriage, ran and took him away with his legs. an hour.

Officials go to the Ministry of the Ministry every morning to order Mao, just to sit on the small table in the courtyard of the Ministry of the Ministry at the time of Mao.For Gong Zhiyuan, how early did he get out of bed?Ordinarily, he didn't have any extra money, and his mother didn't feel at ease looking for servants when she couldn't see her, so he had to wait for his mother to wash up and prepare lunch before going out. The comment is that this person is extremely diligent, never coming in late or leaving early, and even stays up late for the night watch and always rushes to the forefront. It is hard to imagine how many years Gong Zhiyuan has persisted like this, and how difficult it is.

From this point onwards, Qi Yu thought, even Gong Zhiyuan is not bad, at least he still lives in the capital.It is not that there are no officials in the court who live in the suburbs of Beijing. They also have to take care of the old and the young. If they are in a hurry to go to court, they have to light oil lamps and step on the dawn before dawn. Wait for the registration and check before entering the hall to listen to the training.

None of them are easy.

Even if one is enrolled in a class as a minister, the gap between ministers and officials is so large.

The test is just to give the people of the world a chance to leap over the dragon gate, but after the fish leaps into the dragon gate, there is still a distance from the dragon gate to the golden summit. This is a long way, full of stone steps, with scars and traps as dust.

Qi Yu sighed lightly, resting his elbow on the soft pillow under the right arm of the car seat, closing his eyes and trying to think about it, he felt that the annual repairs and renovations of the various halls in the palace cost a lot of money, if some money can be allocated out of it, Maybe it would be possible to find an empty space outside the Qianyuan Gate to build a row house, and rent it to officials at a low price. First, it will relieve the suffering of officials living far away, and second, it will not waste endless money in the palace. , Lease it out to get income, and this income can be used to repair the temple, so that the cycle can be repeated.

Thinking about implementing it, Qi Yu thought that it would be better to start discussions with the Ministry of Industry, Ministry of Households, and Ministry of Officials tomorrow, but when he thought about the return of the virtuous king to the capital tomorrow, the matter of Goryeo's marriage to be resolved, and the piles of papers in the imperial study, he sighed again. I want to see that once the lease is stained with money, there will be corruption and bribery in the future. At that time, the minister will still be exploited by the high-ranking officials in charge in order to seek a house, and the cycle will go back and forth. I can no longer tell.

Forget it, he smiled, let Qi Jue deal with it slowly, and he won't be in a hurry for a while.

He is always used to pretending too many world affairs in his mind, complicated and noisy, he is really tired.

"Your Majesty, we're here." The dark guard reported in a low voice from outside.

As soon as Qi Yu lifted the curtain and got out of the carriage, he heard Gong Zhiyuan's drunken voice behind the small gray-brown courtyard door: "...Brother Wen, hiccup, you are still reciting a thousand-character essay when you are drunk...it's exciting!"

"Hey, he's very poor at drinking, he has to drink every time he can't drink, heck...he will memorize when he drinks too much." Fang Zhitong answered him listlessly, "Hey, he will have to recite the Book of Rites later, just wait and see. It's a good thing you don't have pens and paper in your yard, otherwise he would have to start drawing..."

Gong Zhiyuan smiled heavily: "Brother Wen, hiccup, Zuiwenqu... Hahaha..."

Qi Yu listened carefully, and he really heard Wen Yanzhi's rambling voice coming from inside, reciting in a daze but with extra seriousness: "...Mingfeng is in the bamboo, Baiju food court... hiccup, quilt... grass, trees, Lai and Wanfang..." While reciting, he patted the person next to him, and seriously persuaded: "Recite together, Zhitong, recite together."

Fang Zhitong sighed helplessly, but after a while, he really followed suit and said, "...covering this body and hair, the four elements and five permanent elements..."

—What a nerd, for God's sake.Qi Yu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and even the guard next to him was amused when he heard it.

Qi Yu was about to order the hidden guards to call the door, but he heard Gong Zhiyuan from inside say: "Come on, you guys recite, I'll go clean up my mother's bed first... hiccup."

"Wait." Qi Yu pulled the hidden guard back, and said in a low voice, "I'll go in after the old man is asleep."

The dark guard was slightly moved, and nodded quickly, "The emperor is sympathetic, this Master Gong is really filial..."

"Well, it's quite filial." Qi Yu sat on the carriage with folded arms, guessing in his heart that Gong Zhiyuan had really decided not to get married, so he couldn't help laughing: No matter how filial you are, you won't be able to meet Gao Li tomorrow. Wipe his ass and clean up the mess?The salary will also have to be fined, and the official will also have to be demoted, and it will take several years to achieve his current status. Gong Zhiyuan has suffered a lot.

Fortunately, Wen Yanzhi was soft-hearted enough to help him, and Gong Zhiyuan's life was actually considered a good one.

The sound of water in the inner courtyard matched Wen Yanzhi's voice of Fang Zhitong reciting a thousand-character inscription, and the voice of Gong Zhiyuan coaxing Gong's mother to raise her hands and turn around, change clothes and wipe her face and hands also came from the main house.The night was slightly boring in the spring, and Qi Yu felt for a moment that the life in this alley was not flashy or intriguing, and it was quite simple and safe.

It's good that he and Wen Yanzhi can be so simple and safe in the future.

He began to look forward to what Wen Yanzhi looked like at this time, whether he was blushing and smacking his lips, his spiritual eyes were half-closed, he had never seen the little idiot drunk.

After a while, the hidden guard said, "Your Majesty, the inside has stopped." Then he knocked on the door.

Gong Zhiyuan happily ran over to open the door, his skinny face was blushed, he stared at the dark guard, then at Qi Yu: "Brother Wen—your emperor is here!" After he finished laughing, he knelt down as soon as his legs softened, and kowtowed: "Oh, I don't know that the emperor is coming to the door, so I am far away from welcoming..."

Fang Zhitong also knelt indiscriminately inside, hugged the wine jar and said: "May the emperor be safe."

"No courtesy, let's get up." Qi Yu shook his head funny, thinking that these two people are also spirits, and they still remember the etiquette even when they are drunk.

Before Gong Zhiyuan could let him into the yard, Qi Yu saw a blue shadow flashing in front of his eyes. It was Wen Yanzhi who jumped out of the yard and threw himself into his arms, putting his arms around his neck: "Hi!"

Seeing Gong Zhiyuan, he smiled and leaned against the door.

"..." Qi Yu was sprayed with the smell of alcohol from Wen Yanzhi, and the next moment he felt Wen Yanzhi's arms tightening around his neck, and he was still reciting: "Tax cooked...Gong Xin, please reward me Chuzhi, hiccup." Then Yubai's red and handsome face rubbed against his chest, smacked his moist lips, coughed lightly, his legs softened a little, and he raised a finger and pointed at the tip of his nose: " Qi Yu, me, do you recite well?"

——It turns out that the drunk idiot is shameless.Qi Yu put his arms around Wen Yanzhi and stood up first, laughed at him and said, "...Okay, well done."

Wen Yanzhi was very satisfied, stood staggeringly, hugged his head and gave him a kiss on the face, and said seriously: "You are also good, Qi Yu, you are the best."

Qi Yu's heart suddenly warmed up, and he only smiled and coaxed Wen Yanzhi: "Do you still recite it, and I will praise you if you recite it a little more?"

Wen Yanzhi nodded obediently like pecking rice, "Okay, memorize, memorize together." Then he really took Qi Yu's hand and began to memorize the book of rites, but after he finished the first sentence, he paused and shook his head heavily , "Suddenly I can't remember... hiccup, I won't recite it."

Qi Yu had already added the next sentence in his mind. Seeing him like this, he smiled, sighed, and patted his head, "Okay, I won't recite it, and I will send you back."

Wen Yanzhi nodded silently.

But at this time, Fang Zhitong was actually holding the wine jar inside, and answered Wen Yanzhi's broken sentence: "...Ao can't grow, desire can't be followed, ambition can't be fulfilled...joy can't be extreme-joy can't be extreme... I can't even remember this, what kind of champion did you get in the exam!"

"As long as you learn well, you shut up." Wen Yanzhi was so angry that he grabbed Qi Yu's hand and shook it violently, "The emperor is here, don't recite it!"

But his words were useless, Gong Zhiyuan, who was leaning against the door panel, slowly slid on the ground, and continued to carry on following Fang Zhitong, crying as he carried, beating his thigh and crying with snot and tears: "Young master... ...my little son woo..."

He was talking nonsense and crying in a chaotic manner, which made Qi Yu feel goosebumps all over his body, and his whole body was going to be bad, so he hurriedly signaled the hidden guard to drive.But just as he turned around while supporting Wen Yanzhi's tune, the next moment he felt heat in his ears, it was Wen Yanzhi's warm fingers covering his ears, and he looked into his eyes and said, "Don't listen to that, Qi Yu , if you don’t listen to those...just be with me...I will support you..."

——How are you still?

——If I don't come now, my hat will be green tomorrow morning!

Qi Yu unhappily carried Wen Yanzhi into the carriage and released him, and then asked the hidden guards to throw Gong Zhiyuan into his house and closed the courtyard. Then he got into the carriage, took Wen Yanzhi into his arms, and ordered: "Go to Wen Yanzhi." government."

The dark guard got into the carriage and flicked his whip, "Yes."

The carriage rattled away, Wen Yanzhi held Qi Yu's cuffs and shuttled down, suddenly said seriously: "No, I want to enter the palace, quickly enter the palace."

Qi Yu scooped him up, frowned and asked, "What are you doing in the palace?"

Wen Yanzhi also frowned to look at him, and said earnestly with his hands on the wall of the car: "Of course, I have to see you."

Qi Yu felt sore, and slowly grabbed his hand and put it on his face, kissed his palm and said, "Look, am I not here, Wen Dumb."

Wen Yanzhi paused, looked at Qi Yu's face and blinked, and drew his finger from Qi Yu's brow to the tip of his brow, finally convinced: "You are here..."

"Well, I'm here." Qi Yu hugged him and kissed the corner of his lips, "I'm here, little idiot, don't be afraid."

After kissing him, when he retreated, Wen Yanzhi suddenly grabbed his collar and kissed him back against the tip of his nose.

Qi Yu paused for a moment, and at that moment he could see that in Wen Yan's eyes, which were usually clear and lingering, with a flick of his fingers, affection surged, and with the flick of his fingers, it returned to indifference.

Wen Yanzhi raised his hand and patted his head, and said dumbly, "Don't be afraid either."

Qi Yu thought it was funny, but his eyes suddenly became astringent, and he forced himself to raise his eyebrows jokingly: "What am I afraid of?"

Wen Yanzhi buried his head in his chest, hugged him tightly, and slowly imitated how he usually pats himself, patted his back and coaxed: "What... hiccup, don't be afraid, I'm here. From now on... I will take care of you, Qi Yu, I will take good care of you."

As soon as this remark came out, Qi Yu burst out the sourness in his chest with a smile. He felt that what he said made him look like a pig or a sheep in a pen. His tone seemed to promise that he would be more diligent in pulling weeds and spreading food in the future, which made his eyes just moved. All my tears were laughed back.

Being with Wen Yanzhi, it's hard not to be happy.

He began to laugh at himself again in his heart, why did he fall in love with such an idiot, who even likes someone who is dumb, full of poems, books, rituals and music, and can't even speak a sentence, even a rationale, for a long time, hey.

But that's all.

Those don't need to be said.

If Lian Li can live day and night, it will be natural for a long time, joy and love are also natural, and it is natural to comfort each other without words.

All of this couldn't be more natural, and couldn't be more joyful.

The gate of Wen's mansion is naturally incomparable to that of Gong Zhiyuan's house. As soon as Qi Yu's chariot arrived, the concierge saw the color and cloth of the car from afar, and hurriedly told him to go inside the mansion. As soon as the gate opened, Father Wen took Boss Wen and Second Brother Wen with him. He rushed out in a panic, thinking that Qi Yuxing came to Wen's house at night to issue some secret orders, so he kept his face solemn.

Then the father and son bowed and knelt down to welcome them out, only to see the emperor stepping down from the carriage and walking to the gate of Wen Mansion, the jade tree stood facing the wind.The three of them took a closer look, and it was their youngest, Wen Yanzhi, that was on the back!

Wen Jiuling got up from the ground and hurried forward, his eyes were red: "Your Majesty, what's wrong with the youngest!"

Wen Xizhi knelt on the ground and moved the tip of his nose: "Let's go drink, today we said we will rest at Gong Sheng's house."

Wen Xuzhi was a little puzzled: "Why did the emperor personally give the youngest to..."

"I'd like to ask you." Qi Yu smiled deeply, looked down at the two brothers on the ground, and then glanced at Father Wen: "You are always guarding me like a thief, I'm here to see Wen Yan Don't let it go, Wen Yanzhi is going to sleep with another man tonight, why are you so relieved?"

Wen Jiuling: "...huh?"

Qi Yu gritted his teeth, "Also drinking."

Wen Xuzhi: "...Huh?"

Qi Yu emphasized: "It's still with two men."

Wen Xizhi: "...??"

——Your Majesty, ministers, etc., I really don't understand...what's the matter, don't worry.

——It’s true, just to guard against you, that’s all.

However, none of the three dared to say these words, Wen Jiuling coughed lightly, and bowed his head tremblingly: "What the emperor said is true, the old minister was negligent."

The two brothers of the Wen family hurriedly followed and said, "Chen, I was negligent."

Qi Yu sighed, "Forget it, it's not an example." Then he put Wen Yanzhi off his back, and the elder brother Wen Xuzhi hurriedly supported his younger brother.

Wen Yanzhi was half asleep in a daze, Wen Xuzhi supported him, and felt that his younger brother's marriage was really eye-opening for him.In the past, I heard that before a girl got married, she was just guarding against a private meeting with a man. Now my younger brother has an in-law, who happened to be married to the emperor. Now we not only have to guard against the family of a princess or a lady, but also Look at the elders, I don't know what this is called.

On the side, Wen Jiuling watched Qi Yu put down Wen Yan, his eyes were still hanging on Wen Yanzhi with concern, warned Hao Sheng to take care of him, and then turned to leave, he couldn't help but suddenly stepped forward, raised the back of his hand to rub his nose, the old man shook his head and said: " emperor!"

Qi Yu turned around inexplicably in the middle of the walk: "What's the matter?"

Wen Jiuling pursed his lips, struggled for a long time, and finally asked: "Don't wait in the palace for a while, and the emperor went to pick up Yanzhi...Hey, cough, is the emperor's dinner available?"

When Wen Xuzhi and Wen Xizhi heard what their father said, they immediately turned to look at Wen Jiuling: "Father?"

Under Qi Yu's curious gaze, Wen Jiuling cleared his throat, knelt down slowly and respectfully said: "If the emperor hasn't eaten dinner, there is a simple meal in the dying humble house, if the emperor doesn't give up... the old minister asked me to prepare something Son, use it."

——Old, father, recognize, man, too.

Wen Xuzhi and Wen Xizhi looked at each other with a tacit understanding.

Qi Yu was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, and hurriedly walked back to help Old Man Wen, and patted his arm, "Master Wen is sympathetic to my junior, and I am grateful. It is true that I did not eat dinner. If you do not disturb, please ask Mr. Wen Make it easy."

Wen Jiuling's nose was sore, tears welled up again, he sniffed and raised his hand to hook Qi Yu's arm and said, "Don't disturb, don't disturb, come, come, Your Majesty, please come in..."
