Flowing Years

Chapter 37

The carriage arrived at General Bai's mansion, and after the lady got off, she left again.

When Bai Zezhi came to Bo Yan's Zhuangzi, it started to rain again.Bai Zezhi looked at the dark sky and was silent for a while.At the end of autumn and early winter, the evening was drowsy due to the rain, and the blue bricks and black tiles in the distance became colder and colder under the dark sky.Bai Zezhi pulled up the thin shawl, looked at the lantern swaying in the wind and rain at the door, the faint light was hazy in the drowsiness.

When the little boy led Bai Zezhi into the Piandian pharmacy, Bo Yan was twisting the herbal medicine and preparing it, a few drug boys beside him were grinding the powder, and Mu Lan was making pills in the innermost part.

"What are you up to?" Bai Zezhi looked at Bo Yan.

Bo Yan smiled lightly, but didn't answer, and Bai Zezhi also said it casually.Bo Yan washed his hands and went outside, followed by Bai Zezhi.Bo Yan stretched out his hand to check his pulse, and checked the wound.

"Your body is still recovering, why is it raining again? Didn't Yeyuan give you an umbrella?" Bo Yan said, and handed a cotton handkerchief to Bai Zezhi.

"It's just a little rain..." Bai Zezhi took off the thin cloak and put it aside, then took the cotton handkerchief to wipe his face disapprovingly.In the past, there would be rain and snow during the war, which was not taken seriously at all, let alone light rain now.

Ye Yuan rolled her eyes in the dark and was speechless: "..." The umbrella was in the carriage, it was in Bai Zezhi's hand, he didn't take it himself!

The little boy came in with tea.

"It's raining this time, don't get cold and wet, the cold air coming in at this time will make you work harder in the future." Bo Yan said looking at the dripping water under the eaves outside the door.

"Lan Yu has been busy these few days." Bai Zezhi said while looking at the rain outside.

Bo Yan's eyes fell on Bai Zezhi from the outside, staring at Bai Zezhi made him feel uncomfortable.

"Are you trying to cover up?" After a long time, he said thinly.

"No..." Bai Zezhi was a little unhappy staying in the capital because of his unhealed bone injury, but Lan Yu didn't bring out the thin words, and he was depressed to help Lan Yu coax his wife.Bai Zezhi felt that ever since Bo Yan's identity changed, he didn't know what attitude to use when talking to him.

"Are you afraid that I will be spoiled because Lan Yu returns home to see concubine Ji?" Bo Yan looked at Bai Zezhi with a half-smile, "Or are you afraid that I have the thoughts of a boudoir?"

Bai Zezhi listened and laughed.Faced with this kind of problem, he is not good at it.He simply thought that he should come and see Bo Yan, because Lan Yu left without saying goodbye.He never thought about this level. Even if Bo Yan is with Lan Yu, he is not a boudoir looking forward to her return every day. He has his own pharmacy to take care of and his own patients to treat.Bo Yan is also their brother, Lan Yu said that he will not be wronged, so there is no need to complain about Ai Ai because Lan Yu has a concubine Ji.The two are men at the same time, they have their own affairs to be busy, and they won't think about it because they are not together for a day or two.When Bai Zezhi wanted to understand this point, he felt better. He just had to consider Bo Yan as a brother first, and it didn't matter if he didn't think about the relationship with Lan Yu.Now I just hope that Lan Yu can win the battle with Luo Na earlier and save his father.

Bai Zezhi drank a cup of tea at Bo Yan's, bid farewell and went back.

"Your bone injury can't be rushed, so I have to keep it. I'll make some pills today and send them to you tomorrow. You can take them for half a year to recuperate." Bo Yan said.

Bai Zezhi nodded and left.

When he went to court the next day, Bai Zezhi was on leave at home because of a bone injury.And the court hall exploded because of the fact that General Bai was arrested.The main combat faction said that they could not back down because of Luo Na's tricks, they should launch a fierce attack, and don't worry about General Bai for the time being.Before General Luo Nana came out to negotiate terms, General Bai's life was safe.The conservatives, on the other hand, because the southwest climate is changeable and the terrain is complex, it is not suitable for war, and General Bai is very important to Yuxia, and they should not be neglected in the slightest. They should immediately make peace with Luo Na and return to General Bai.There are also centrists who are on both sides of the wall, listening to one side and this side, and listening to that side against that side.

Emperor Lan He looked at the discussion below, and pushed his brows with his finger bones.Ever since Prime Minister Luo was beheaded, no one can hit the nail on the head and give Lan He the most correct opinion in the court battle.Lan He scanned the empty prime minister's seat and stared at it.

Lan He always thought of that person with outstanding looks, who was good at dancing in the court.Lan He appreciated his criticism of current problems; Lan He gave priority to his advice; Lan He supported his New Deal.But such a courtier who made Lan He very satisfied, was not satisfied with being a prime minister with one person under ten thousand, and colluded with the enemy country, and even urged General Bai to join forces to rebel against his court and give the mansion to the enemy country. In this way, he was invited to the position of princes in one place.

But this time when General Bai was arrested, although Lan He secretly gave the soldier talisman to his younger brother Lan Yu and immediately sent him into battle, it was mainly because he wanted to resist Luo Na and beat Luo Na back.As for whether General Bai could be saved, Lan He thought to himself, if Luo Na killed General Bai, it would prove that General Bai was innocent and did not collude with Luo Yunhai, which solved Lan He's knot.For General Bai's loyalty, Bai Zezhi will be promoted and put to good use.But if General Bai's arrest is fake, in fact, he has already connected with the enemy country like Luo Yunhai, so he will use Bai Zezhi in the capital as a threat.This time Bai Zezhi happened to stay in the capital because of a bone injury. If he hadn't been injured, he would not have been allowed to go to battle with Lan Yu.

As for Lan Yu, Lan He didn't want to doubt him.When the first emperor appointed Lanhe as the new emperor, he praised Lanhe with benevolence and generosity.Because of benevolence and generosity, he can tolerate other emperors; because of benevolence and generosity, he can be both famous;And Lan He knew in his heart that he was not as good as his ninth brother Lan Yu in terms of leading the army and fighting; he was not as good as his sixth brother Lan Ye in terms of strategy.If Lan Yu really sought his seat with the prime minister and the general, he would admit it, and God would kill him.If Lan Yu wins the throne, fortunately, the surname is still Lan, and Lan He doesn't have to go to the underworld to apologize to his ancestors.

Lan He looked at the tall and spacious hall, with the courtiers arguing endlessly underneath, and felt as if he was watching all this from the sidelines.After they argued for a while, Lan He decided to agree with the opinion of the main combat faction, and asked the courtiers to go back and write their plans.This matter has been discussed with Lan Yu a long time ago, and it is also a process to discuss with the courtiers, so as to avoid omissions.For more important and urgent matters, Lan He will discuss with several relevant officials before and after going to court.Lan He glanced at the vacant prime minister's position again, thinking in his heart that after the battle in Luona, he should make good plans for the scientific research and recruit some capable people to use it.He had relied too much on General Bai and Prime Minister Luo before, so he came to this embarrassing step.

What followed were some odds and ends, such as the Minister of the Ministry of Households reporting the food and grass raised, and the Minister of Rites presenting the meeting notes from the emperor of the Mosang Kingdom.At this time, a group of courtiers agree that before the war with Luo Na is over, Emperor Mosang must be left behind.At present, the best excuse to leave Emperor Mosang behind is the Tuxiang Festival.Therefore, this Tuxiang Festival must be well prepared.Lan He asked the Minister of Rites to go back to discuss it, and the early court ended.
