The day before Chunwei's retry, Wang Lisong, the official of the school of literature and wine, was reinstated.

That day Wang Lisong was invited to have dinner at Wenxintang.

In the past few days, he has roughly understood several major events that happened in Beijing after he was imprisoned, such as the fraud in Chunwei, the change of the Ministry of Rites, the change of Chengtianmen, and a series of incidents.

Besides Wang Lisong, there is another rare guest in Wenxintang today.

Lu Yanchen.

The two hadn't seen each other for some days, and after dinner, they boiled a pot of wine in the courtyard and sat under the tree to chat.

"It's cold at night, do I need a cloak for the wine ceremony?" Lu Yanchen asked with concern.

Wang Lisong shook his head, took the hot wine from the stove and poured it into the glasses of the two of them.

Lu Yanchen immediately got up and took the jug from him, and said respectfully, "Let the students come."

Wang Lisong was not polite to him, he just sat down on the stone bench, watched him pour the wine, and handed it to his hand.

He sniffed the aroma of the hot wine, enjoyed it all over his face, then took a sip, and sighed: "Hey, it's been three months, and I just want this one."

There was a smile on Lu Yanchen's stern face: "The Shizhouchun at the side of the West Market was released last year. I know you like it. I specially reserved two jars."

"Why didn't I realize that you are so filial before?" Wang Lisong took another sip of his wine and said, "You are so filial that you could be jailed."

He spoke in an ordinary way without raising his eyes, as if he was gossip.The smile on Lu Yanchen's face froze instantly.

He immediately put down his wine glass, knelt down beside the table with his clothes upright, and said, "Student knows his mistake."

Only then did Wang Lisong turn his head to look at him, with a half-smile in his eyes, and asked, "I know I was wrong, but do you dare next time?"

Lu Yanchen subconsciously wanted to refute, but the words came to his lips, but he couldn't get out. He said stiffly: "The situation is urgent, so I have to make such a bad move. I think it will not be so urgent in the future."

"That is, if it is urgent, will you still make such a bad move?" He squinted at Lu Yanchen, but there was no sense of reproach in his tone, "Why will it not be urgent in the future? Do you think it has come to an end now?"

After speaking, he sighed lightly and poured himself another glass of wine.

Lu Yanchen looked at him from the side, and said for a while, "If the students are to see Jijiu die unjustly in prison, the students will feel uneasy."

"You have come to rob the prison, you feel at ease. But what about me?" Wang Lisong didn't accept his favor, turned the wine glass in his hand, and said, "If something happens to you, how can you let me have the face to see your father in a hundred years? what?"

When mentioning his father, Lu Yanchen immediately turned pale, lowered his head and stopped talking.

Wang Lisong looked at him and said: "What's more, even if you succeed in robbing the prison, do you think I will go with you? I will be a fugitive for the rest of my life and wander around the world?"

Lu Yanchen lowered his head all the time, and it took him a long time to whisper: "The student knows his mistake."

"I'm old, half buried. Life and death are no longer important to me, what matters is how I die." Wang Lisong smiled at Lu Yanchen with a peaceful and kind face, "But the banquet Chen, you are different, you are still young, and you have a long way to go. Whether it is Your Majesty or Sheji, I will rely on you in the future, not on my old bones. So your life is more precious than mine, remember Yet?"

Lu Yanchen looked at him, frowned slightly, neither nodded nor shook his head.

Wang Lisong waved his hand and said, "Forget it, I don't believe you remember it. Get up quickly, don't kneel."

Lu Yanchen got up and sat down beside him.

Wang Lisong drank a glass of wine, looked at Lu Yanchen, thought of something, suddenly frowned in doubt, and asked: "I heard that you killed hundreds of people in the palace gate, is it true?"

"real."

Wang Lisong put down his wine glass, looked at Lu Yanchen seriously, and said in surprise, "You are so soft-hearted, how can you kill so many people?"

Lu Yanchen couldn't help laughing and said, "When did I become soft-hearted?"

Wang Lisong didn't speak, just stared at him.

After a long while, Lu Yanchen was taken aback by him, and said: "Okay. I don't know what's going on, so I'm not afraid. At that time, I only thought about not letting them catch up with His Majesty, so I killed him before I knew it. Many people."

Wang Lisong clearly withdrew his curious gaze, and murmured, "It's really not that the whole family doesn't come in."

The two drank in silence for a while.

Then, Wang Lisong remembered something.

"By the way, I went back and forth to Leizhou, and there seemed to be someone taking care of me on the way. Is it yours?"

Lu Yanchen was slightly taken aback, then thought of Yingwei, and said, "That's right, but it's His Majesty's will."

When mentioning Yingwei, Lu Yanchen also thought of something: "I heard that on the way back to Beijing for sacrificial wine, someone robbed him in the suburbs of Beijing. Who did it?"

Although the Eagle Guard had changed hands, it was Lu Yanchen's order at the time, so Tao Yuan also reported it to Lu Yanchen.

Wang Lisong thought for a while, as if hesitating whether to tell Lu Yanchen, and finally said, "Old Gu Ge."

"Old Gu Ge?" Lu Yanchen was obviously surprised, he looked up and down the intact Wang Lisong and said, "He didn't hurt you?"

"Why did he hurt me? He used to put me to death because I knew what he was doing on Chunwei. Now the emperor knows what he did, Chunwei has tried again, and I have no threat to him. Besides , I am now the witness appointed by the emperor to go to the palace to make a statement. If I was robbed and killed on the way, he would be the first person to be suspected. Gu Ge is not stupid, he will not do things that are not beneficial to him made."

"But," Lu Yanchen paused, and then said, "I feel that Mr. Gu Ge is not only at odds with you in terms of politics, but...he hates you from the bottom of his heart. No matter what he finds out these days, he wants to go to you Pull on him."

"Because in Gu Ge's eyes, whether it's a student's petition, Qin Baozhu's entry into the palace, or Chengtianmen's drumming, it's all my instigation and planning." At this point, Wang Lisong couldn't help laughing, " I am in prison, how can I have such abilities? If so, it must be a supernatural power. He was so bewildered because he refused to believe that His Majesty did all this from the bottom of his heart. He always felt that His Majesty was bewitched by others gone."

"He couldn't believe that His Majesty the pampered emperor would stand with the poor people instead of the dignitaries who served the emperor comfortably. To be honest, no wonder he didn't believe it. If it wasn't because of what you said back then , I don't believe it either."

Lu Yanchen's slightly startled expression fell into Wang Lisong's eyes. He looked at Lu Yanchen and smiled and said, "Because it's really unreasonable. But it just happened. Maybe it's God's pity for the people of Dajing, who brought down such a situation. Come on, a deviant and unusual Suihe Emperor."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Lu Yanchen again and said, "Of course, your majesty is able to be as smart, rational, upright and unyielding as you are today, and you, as the emperor's teacher, have contributed a lot."
