Criminal investigation in ancient times

Since ancient times, civil servants and military generals have been at odds. There are many reasons for this. The most important one is that civil servants are not used to military generals' roughness, illiteracy, and harsh speech. Military generals are not used to civil servants' posturing. Without profanity, the scolding will make you blush and neck thick, and you will not be able to refute a sentence.

It's strange to say that the Great Zhou Dynasty, Lin Xiangye in the court hall, is actually a close friend with General He.

Speaking of two people, but three days and three nights can not finish.

Lin Xiangye's name is Xiaomin, he was born of a concubine, but because of his outstanding talent, he won the first prize and was appreciated by the emperor.Since then, he has made steady progress, and in just ten years he has reached the top of power, and the official worships the right minister.A well-placed dick in modern times counterattacks and reaches the pinnacle of life.

And General He has to say that he is the son of He Guang, the general of Zhenbei. The old general He Guanghe also died in battle, which is a pity.

Although he returned to the capital now, the Northwest Army is still in his hands. The emperor trusted him a lot and named him General Protector.

But how did these two people become 'best friends'?The grievances and grievances between the two, love and hatred, I listen to Xiaosheng's detailed talk...

This day Lin Xiaomin had just come down to court, walked out of Xuanzhi Gate, someone called him from behind: "Master Lin, wait for me."

Lin Xiaomin stopped and turned around to see, it turned out to be Jiang Tai, this Jiang Tai can be regarded as inheriting his father's career, since Jiang Bozhong resigned, he was promoted by the emperor, and last year filled the vacancy of left minister.The once handsome young man is now getting more and more crooked, looking like his father.Even his father's ability to deal with troubles and make muddy mud has learned to add one and do two to improve it.

Jiang Tai wiped off his sweat and ran to his side to hold his hands together, saying: "Mr. Lin, I have reserved a seat at Wenxiang Tower today, can I go to get together with you?"

Lin Xiaomin murmured in his heart: This old fritters treat yourself to dinner?Nothing good I'm afraid.

"This...Master Jiang." Lin Xiaomin cupped his hands and was about to refuse.

"Go, why don't you go?" He Zixiang walked over from behind, put his arm on Lin Xiaomin's shoulder, and smiled. "Master Jiang naturally asked for a drink as a treat."

When Jiang Tai saw him, he immediately silenced, and said with a flattering smile: "Then General He should come too." After speaking, he left in a hurry.

Lin Xiaomin glanced back at him and said, "Why, you're so free today, didn't you go to Wanhualou with Jiang Shangshu?"

"..."

He Zixiang's heart skipped a beat and he said: How did Xiaomin know that he went to Wanhualou?Jiang Yuyuan, this bastard, betrayed himself? "This... Master Jiang invited me to drink, and I didn't do anything!"

Lin Xiaomin snorted coldly and said, "What have you done has nothing to do with me." After speaking, he got up and left.

He Zixiang rubbed his head, what kind of broken idea did Jiang Yuyuan give, what did he say about going to Wanhualou and accidentally letting Lin Xiaomin know, Prime Minister Lin would definitely be very sad, and then he would sacrifice his life to prevent you from going there...

The idea is very full, but the reality is very skinny. He Zixiang seems to have overlooked that Lin Xiaomin is a man, a prime minister who is above one person and under ten thousand people in the court. The affection of children may affect his emotions, but it will not affect his actions.

Looking at the people who were drifting away, He Zixiang sighed desolately. Since he returned from the Northwest War five years ago, the two of them have never returned to the feeling they had when they were in the school. The shy little boy who used to be has long since become There are trembling characters who stomp their feet in the court.

Sometimes time is really ruthless, and it wears away the best things of the two of them little by little, making it impossible to miss.

Lin Xiaomin got into the carriage, looked back, and saw He Zixiang standing where he was thinking, with a slight pain in his chest.

"Master, do you want to go back directly?"

Lin Xiaomin: "Go ask Xianglou."

The carriage came to Wenxianglou after a short while, and it was the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the crabs in Wenxianglou were considered a must. Jiang Tai had already reserved a place on the second floor, and Lin Xiaomin had just walked in, and there was a waiter leading him in. He went upstairs.

"Master Lin, come on, come in quickly, I thought you weren't coming, I'm going to eat with Master Zhongxin Lu first."

Lin Xiaomin walked in and looked around. They were all acquaintances. He smiled and cupped his hands, and sat down in the empty seat.

The servant who was preparing the dishes at the side immediately added more bowls and chopsticks for him, and poured him a glass of wine.Lin Xiaomin tapped his fingers on the table, seeing that the wine glass was full, he waved his hand for the servant to go down and wait.

"I don't know why Mr. Jiang invited you today?"

Jiang Tai and Wen Zhongxin looked at each other and said with a smile: "I can't ask you out for dinner if I have nothing to do? It will be the Mid-Autumn Festival soon, and it will be the emperor's birthday. Ten years have passed in a blink of an eye."

Lin Xiaomin picked up his glass, took a sip and sighed: "Yes, ten years ago, ten years ago, I was just a student who didn't listen to the outside world in the school, and only read the books of sages."

Jiang Tai respected him from the air and drank a cup, saying: "As soon as you say this, I think of your second brother Xiao Ze. I thought Zhong Xin and I were close friends at the beginning, but now he will enjoy it. After going to the Twelve Princes The fiefdom, I return to Beijing once a year, very leisurely."

Lin Xiaomin lowered his head and smiled slightly: "Second brother is indeed lucky." He raised his head and drained the wine in the glass, and a faint blush appeared on his face immediately.In fact, Jiang Tai's purpose for calling him here has long been known in his mind. The emperor is getting older and older. Although he is still in good health, it is better to establish a prince early, so don't repeat the same thing as last time. mistakes.

The emperor has four princes, except for the two young ones, the remaining eldest prince and second prince are a little... mediocre at best, mediocre at worst, these two princes are a bit dull.Not only are they dumb in their work, but they are also a bit stupid in their speech. Usually, they are not able to do anything decently that the emperor ordered them to do.It would be easier to explain it in modern times, because the mothers of the two princes and the emperor are cousins, and they are married by close relatives, so the child's IQ is a bit problematic...

Now the ministers are worried, which prince should be established?The eldest prince and the second prince are not very happy, the third prince and the fourth prince are too young, just learning how to speak, and when they are able to take charge, they are afraid that the emperor has already ascended to heaven.Of course they dare not say this.

Of course the emperor understood this, and he was also worried. In fact, he didn't want to sit in this position back then. Whoever wanted to be elected by the princes had to ascend to the throne.

If you really sit in this position, you can experience the feeling of being overwhelmed by the cold. For so many years, he has been working hard to be a good emperor and benefit the people.

But if one of his two stupid sons is really established, let alone whether it will ruin Da Zhou, he himself is the first to disagree. Both children are good children. I have a heart of a child, the emperor really can't bear them to sit on the throne, I'm afraid they are at the mercy of others, it's better to pass the throne to other princes directly, anyway, isn't this how I came to be the throne!

Of course, the emperor didn't reveal this, he just talked to Lin Xiaomin privately.Lin Xiaomin admired the emperor's benevolence after hearing this.It's just that the emperor can't say anything about it, and of course he won't say it.

"Lin Xiang, I heard that the emperor announced you into the palace yesterday?" Wen Zhongxin asked casually.

Lin Xiaomin slightly raised his eyebrows and said, "Tell me about the taxes in the Northwest. Last year, there was a severe drought in the Northwest, and the Emperor wanted to exempt the taxes in the Northwest for three years."

Jiang Taigong clasped his hands and said: "The emperor is a wise king, it's a great week! It's a pity that the emperor is getting old... It would be great if the emperor could last forever." He drank another cup.

Wen Zhongxin said: "Junqing, you should drink less to save yourself. I heard that you have stomach problems a few days ago, so don't drink too much."

Jiang Tai's eyes turned red and he said tremblingly, "I'm also worried about the emperor's dragon body, and I'm just feeling emotional."

Lin Xiaomin looked at the two of them calmly, and he would not fail to lead the conversation to the prince, as if I would stand still while you were blown by the wind and rain.It's not easy to drink by yourself.

Seeing his appearance, Wen Zhongxin thought to himself: This little fox is not old, but his knowledge is deep enough! "Lin Xiang, a certain called you here today because I have something to ask."

Lin Xiaoze thought to himself: I can't help it. "I don't dare to ask for advice, just let me know if Master Wen has anything to say."

Wen Zhongxin coughed dryly and said: "This matter... well, let me tell you clearly, the current emperor is getting older and older, but he has not established a heir for a long time, and the officials in the court feel uneasy, for fear that he will go to the court. It happened once again."

Lin Xiaoze: "Hey? That's wrong. What happened to the first emperor was not only caused by the lack of a crown prince. The second prince had a wicked mind, colluded with the Huns, and was ambitious. Even if the first emperor appointed a first prince, this would probably happen. But today's emperor The princes above and below are all...good boys."

After hearing this, Jiang Tai's face was a little bright, and he thought: Good boy, hum, of course not being able to tell the difference between deer and horses is not a bad intention. "Lin Xiang, you can't say that. Although the princes are upright, there is no way for those with unscrupulous intentions to use the prince to do other things."

Lin Xiaomin's expression darkened, he raised his wine glass and drank it all: "Then we must support the prince well, and don't lead them astray."

Wen Zhongxin raised his eyebrows after hearing this, Lin Xiaomin's mouth is locked, and he probably won't be able to ask anything today.

Jiang Tai: "Mr. Lin, what do you mean today is to appoint the eldest prince or the second prince as the crown prince?"

Lin Xiaomin looked terrified: "I don't know this, you don't want to speculate about the holy will."

Jiang Tai suddenly had a toothache, and felt like he was holding a slippery loach in his hand, no matter how hard you tried, you still couldn't hold it.

At this moment, the door of the room was suddenly pushed open, and He Zixiang rubbed his hands and walked in with a smile, "Oh, are they all here? Hahaha, why didn't I wait for me to eat it, Xiao Er, and two catties of crabs!"

Several people were startled by him, and looked at him with livid faces.

Wen Zhongxin kicked Jiang Tai, and whispered, "Why did you invite him here?"

Jiang Tai held his cuff to cover his face and said, "I ran into him on the way, who knows he really came..."

He Zixiang's eyelids moved, as a general, his ears are full of eyesight, even though their voices were quiet, he could hear them clearly, raised his glass and smiled, "My lords, we haven't had dinner together on weekdays. Today He Mou presents you a glass." He drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, smacked his lips and said, "What the hell is this, it looks like cat urine."

Jiang Tai smiled obsequiously and said: "We drink little, and all we drink is fruit wine, which is incomparable to the general's."

He Zixiang waved his hand and said, "What's so good about drinking this wine, Xiao Er, put two pots and burn knives!"

After a while, a plate of big crabs and two jugs of spirits were brought up. "Eat, eat, drink, don't be polite." He Zixiang was so proficient in playing against the customer, that the adults were caught off guard, so he reluctantly picked up the strong wine and drank it.

He Zixiang narrowed his eyes and said, "I can't kill you old foxes."

Just as Lin Xiaomin raised his glass to drink, he was stopped by a big hand. "Lin Xiang, stop drinking. I heard that your stomach hurts these days?"

Wen Zhongxin and Jiang Tai's faces darkened, and I also had a stomachache!fall!Can't have fun anymore.

"It's nothing!" Lin Xiaomin drank it away from his hand, "cough cough cough..." The wine was indeed a bit strong, and his throat was hot and sore from the heat.Seeing this, He Zixiang hurriedly poured a cup of tea and handed it to him, patted him on the back and said, "I told you not to let you drink it, but you're still showing off."

Lin Xiaomin's ears felt hot all of a sudden, he waved his hands to stop him and said, "General Lao He is here."

He Zixiang's expression darkened, he withdrew his hand, and began to eat his big crab lonely.

With his messing around, the other adults lost interest in talking, took a few sips of relief in dispirited spirits, and got up to leave one after another. In the end, only Lin Xiaomin and He Zixiang were left.

Lin Xiaomin drank a few glasses of spirits and now his head was a little dizzy, he got up unsteadily and almost fell, He Zixiang hurriedly supported him.The two clasped their hands, Lin Xiaomin pushed him away, staggered towards the outside and said, "It's getting late...I should go back..."

Before he could tell me, He Zixiang dropped the crab in his hand, stretched out his hand and dragged him back, raised his foot to hook the door, and pushed him against the wall.Looking down at him.

Lin Xiaomin raised his head and said, "What are you doing?"

He Zixiang just stared at him blankly, with his hands around his head, and his thumbs stroking his pink lips.

Lin Xiaomin's heart moved when he saw him, he lowered his head and remained silent.

"Why do you always avoid me?" The suppressed voice rang in his ear, making Lin Xiaomin shiver uncontrollably.

"Why is there an invisible layer between us after returning from the northwest, so that I can never touch you again..."

Lin Xiaomin raised his head and was stunned in astonishment, only to see He Zixiang's eyes were red with tears.

He Zixiang leaned down, like a large canine, and licked his lips lightly. "Xiaomin, don't you know my feelings for you?" Seeing that he didn't resist and pushed her away, she bit his lower lip tremblingly, and began to lick it reverently.

Lin Xiaomin only felt his head was a little dazed, and the face was enlarged in front of him, getting closer and closer.As soon as his lips became hot, the smell of wine and crab sprayed on his face.

He Zixiang supported his head with his big palm, wishing he could swallow him into his stomach.

Lin Xiaomin sighed helplessly, wrapped his arms around his waist, and opened his teeth lightly.The slippery tongue invaded instantly, evoking his tongue and dancing together.

There seemed to be guests in the next cubicle, and a group of people could be heard talking and laughing. Lin Xiaomin was taken aback, and hurriedly pushed the people away.

He Zixiang had already forgotten himself at this moment, hugged him tightly, pushed him to the corner, his rough palms poked in from the hem of his clothes, touched the smooth body under him, and his blood boiled immediately.

"Don't...don't be here!" Lin Xiaomin blushed anxiously, but he didn't dare to speak loudly, for fear of being heard by the people next to him.But his small meowing voice seemed to be urging in He Zixiang's ears.

****Omitted****

After the storm, He Zixiang picked him up and put on clothes for him. Lin Xiaomin sobbed and lay on his shoulders, his whole body was weak, his legs felt as if they had been run over, and they were not as numb as his own.He Zixiang tidied up his clothes, picked him up and pushed the door out of Wenxianglou.

The stars are shining outside, and the cool wind is refreshing.He Zixiang couldn't help whistling, a Northwest folk song, as cheerful as a bear who stole honey.

Lin Xiaomin hugged his neck with both hands, already fell into a deep sleep from exhaustion.A jade pendant slipped from his waist and hung down in front of He Zixiang. He stretched out his hand to hold the jade pendant and looked at it. He was slightly stunned. This was the one he gave him before he left... I didn't expect that he still wore it after all these years.

Looking at the peaceful sleeping face in his arms, He Zixiang lowered his head and kissed him lightly on the forehead: "Slender man, a gentleman is so good."
