After dispersing for a while, Ji Yan was going to take the first step to leave, but who would have expected that Dao Jiang Fang would come over with a smile and hands behind his back: "The will of the saint must have been known to Ji Shangshu, and now I still ask Shangshu to postpone it, but don't pass the preaching Ji thief in advance to eliminate the evidence!"

"Now the sage is just ordering a thorough investigation, what does Jiang Zhongcheng mean by a thief?" Ji Yan sneered, he is usually not controversial with others, he is taciturn and only takes care of the things in his hands, and now he is very angry and laughs, and the momentum on his body is really majestic," Not to mention how many horse leather shrouds of my Ji family died on the battlefield, the Jinzhou Frontier, a total of 22 passes, large and small, are condensed with the blood of my Ji family and buried with white bones, this is the responsibility of my Ji family, I dare not shirk it, but under the blue sky and white sun, please Jiangzhong Cheng Don't be a fool!"

"You!" Jiang Fang was frightened by his majesty, couldn't help but take a step back, his face turned purple, and he forcibly raised his hand and pointed at Ji Yandao, "When you enter the prison of the Criminal Department, I see that you can still be so arrogant!"

"Ji someone, welcome Lord Zhongcheng!" Ji Yan sneered, flicked his sleeves and strode out.

"Phew!" Jiang Fang snorted, a trace of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes, just thinking that he would surround the Ji family's ancestral house later and let the other party take a good look.

For a while, Liu Quan received the holy decree and came out with a team of small yellow gates, and saw Jiang Fang standing alone in front of the palace gate, his face was gloomy, and when he saw him coming, he hurriedly stretched out his hand and said, "Minister Liu, but you want to issue an edict?"

"The queen has summoned Yuwen Shilang into the palace, we have to wait. Liu Quan smiled slightly, and slowly stroked the sleeves without a trace of wrinkles, "I'm afraid that the snow is going to fall when the weather is going to fall, there is a small tea shop in front, let's go and sit down." ”

Although the saint was favored when he was young, the number of small yellow doors around him was not much, only four, and the only one who accompanied the saint all the way to the present is Zhang Wen and Liu Quan, both of whom are descendants of criminal officials.

Most of the lecturers in the inner study hall are from the Hanlin Academy, although the imperial examination and the election of this dynasty are at the same time, but the senior officials of the three provinces and six departments are all from the imperial examination, so there are talented Hanmen people in the Hanlin Academy, and the latter is more elegant in words and deeds are favored by these small yellow doors, Zhang Wen and Liu Quan are also affected by this, and naturally have a good impression of the family.

People as its name, Zhang Wenxi poetry, good calligraphy and painting, a hand-written freehand flowers and birds for the Beijing a must, quite sought after by the people of the time, for people also with a bit of literati pride, so he takes care of the saint's food, clothing, housing and transportation, occasionally for the saint drafted the edict;

And because of his childhood experience, Liu Quan always had a little hatred for the imperial history in his heart, when his family was involved in extravagance, and then there were competing with the people for profit, The charge of bullying people is now Zhang Xuan, the master of Lin Qing, but Liu Quan knows that the saint and Lin Qing met at the end of the micro, and the monarch and the minister have been in love for many years, and the saint deeply hates the power of the family He had promised Lin Qing in the position of prime minister in his early years, but over the years, the family has only bitten to death The position of prime minister has long been banned, and it is impossible to do it in vain, so the saint has a long feeling of guilt in his heart, so Liu Quan has not made a move for many years.

And now that the Ji family is in trouble, he watched Jiang Fang speak from a distance to provoke Ji Yan, and his heart was even more disgusted.

To this day, he still remembers that when he was studying the history of the dynasty in the inner study hall, Hanlin, who lectured, was born in a poor family in Jinzhou, and when he talked about the border troubles, the Ji family army fought bloodily, or impassionedly, or burst into tears, and taught them to listen to it as if they were fascinated, and they just wanted to put pen to paper from now on to defend the country.

Therefore, Ji Can died unexpectedly a few days ago, and the sage took the initiative to take the initiative to issue the decree after him, and he also wanted to send Ji Assassin Shi all the way, who knew that it would change the day in just a few days, and he was also worried that the other party's family would be troubled by Jiang Fang, so he specially received the order, and it happened that Empress Yuwen received the news in the harem, so he issued an edict to Yuwen Du only said that he was worried about his brother's condition, and only wanted to order someone to report to Ji's house first.

Houtudian is the historical residence of Empress Dongqin, from the founding of the country to the present, Empress Yuwen is its thirty-ninth owner, and she has lived in this Houtudian for 21 years.

Every time there is a new owner, the back earth hall will be renovated again.

Queen Yuwen has a simple and quiet temperament and does not like extravagance, so the furnishings in the Houtu Hall are also thick and quiet, and the palace ladies are holding their breath, even when they walk, they don't hear the sound of admiration on their bodies.

The place where Empress Yuwen summoned Yuwen Governor was in the east side hall of the Houtu Palace, it was early winter at this time, and the two ginkgo biloba in the courtyard were bare, and only a thin layer of snow had accumulated on the trunk of the tree.

"Lang Jun is here, Niangniang has been reading for a long time. Yuwendu walked through the courtyard, the palace on both sides of the palace was busy squatting and saluting, and there was a palace maid wearing an orange short jacket and ginger long skirt to greet him, Yuwendu recognized that this was the female official Yu Rong next to the queen, or four years ago when he was going to be transferred to the capital, he saw him from afar at the palace banquet, and hurriedly called "Yu Niangzi", and followed her into the palace.

"Chen Yu Wendu knocked to see the queen mother and Her Royal Highness the princess. Yuwen Du stepped in and found that Empress Yuwen was wearing an ivory swastika collar crab shell, green peony, dark flower satin, and a big hairy hairy man, while on her left sat Princess Huayang in a light golden rose flower dress.

"I mentioned to the saint a few days ago that he came to the Houtu Temple yesterday and agreed to summon you today, but it didn't interfere with your official business. Because she was seeing her relatives, Queen Yuwen did not dress up, but only brought a single phoenix hanging bead hairpin, and a smile appeared on her face when she saw Yuwen Du.

"Shicai was about to issue an edict, and made an appointment with Liu Neixiang. "Yuwen Du doesn't know why Queen Yuwen summoned him, he has been transferred to the capital for four years, in previous years, that is, the palace banquet at the time of the big festival has seen from afar, and Queen Yuwen is often absent due to illness, now I see, although people are also emaciated, but looking at the complexion is fine, for a while, there is Gong E bringing tea, Yuwen Du took it and didn't dare to look at it, "Niang Niang summoned the ministers today, what do you have to tell the governor to do?"

"This year, the saint Wanshou brother is coming, and I heard that he is sick and it is difficult to even get up, and I have been thinking about it in my heart, but I don't know what to do. Empress Yuwen sighed as she spoke, "What kind of doctor have you invited? The old lady of the Tai Hospital is a very skilled doctor, and I want to ask him to go to Yongzhou! And I have been away from Yongzhou for many years and have not been able to see my brother for several years, so I don't know what his situation is? And my sister-in-law, I remember that when I was in the boudoir, our sister-in-law got along like sisters, and the last time we met was when Kyaukjiao was born, and it was more than ten years. ”

"It's bothering my mother, but my father is just infected with the cold. Yuwendu smiled slightly, "Mother has been fine in recent years, but she is only worried that the second brother has not yet married." ”

"When it comes to children's family affairs, Zihuan, don't be afraid of your aunt for talking too much. Empress Yuwen was silent for a moment when she heard this, "I received a letter from my sister-in-law a few days ago, your wife has been mourned for three years, and it is not reasonable to have no woman to take care of her at home; ”

"The Queen Mother. Princess Huayang saw a trace of pain flashing in Yuwendu's eyes, and couldn't help but interrupt Empress Yuwen, "The son is not married yet, so you mention these words in front of the son." ”

"You are not young now, your father should not marry you to the Northern Wei Dynasty, your cousin is out all the year round, and most of your relatives will rely on him!" "Empress Yuwen said this, she couldn't help but smile and stretched out her hand to rub Princess Huayang's neck, turned her head to look at her nephew and said softly, "I am also a lobbyist, only Zihuan is the eldest son of my brother, and in the future, my Yuwen family will rely on you, you are still young now, there is no one around you who knows cold and hot, how can you teach the elders to be at ease?"

。

"Niangniang, I grew up with Wan Niang since childhood, when she caught Zhou, I watched the ceremony with my mother, she reached out and grabbed me, I will be five years old that year, it is to the age of knowing beauty and ugliness, only laugh at her that she will bite people if she doesn't even have baby teeth; 。 Yuwen Du said with a slight smile.

"Zihuan, when you reach my age, you only feel that no matter how deep your emotions are, you can't just have someone by your side. Empress Yuwen said here, shaking her head slightly.

"Niangniang, she married me at the age of thirteen, and we planted a pear tree together in the old house in Yongzhou that year, and she once said that we would bury our bones together under the pear tree after a hundred years...... I haven't been back since she left, and I'm afraid I'm sad to see a tree of snow...... Niangniang, I only miss her in my heart, no matter how good the lady marries me, I can't compare to her in my heart, I am sad and why drag another person to accompany me to be sad. Yuwendu only shook his head slowly, "I am the same as the five surnames, but I really envy the Ji family's family motto, saying that the children are long and heroic, but I haven't met that person, as for Ah Yu, I also asked my mother to give me a pair of nurturing grandmothers." ”

"My cousin has a deep affection for my cousin-in-law, why should the queen mother be a villain in it?" Princess Huayang saw that Queen Yuwen was on the side and said again, "If the queen mother is worried about Ah Yu, if she doesn't take her into the palace from time to time, the queen mother is an example for thousands of women in the world, and she has been raised by the queen mother herself, Ah Yu is naturally not afraid of the 'five don't marry' saying, and the queen mother is also talking about marrying me off, and in the future, my brother will live in the Qilin Hall again, and the queen mother is not lonely with Ah Yu by her side." ”

"You will arrange it for me!" Empress Yuwen smiled when she heard this, stretched out her hand and gently poked Princess Huayang's forehead, turned her head to Yuwen and said, "That's it, since you are an infatuated character, you don't want to marry if you don't want to marry! It's just that you Langjun are busy with business and don't care about it, so I will find two grandmothers for you first, and then take Ah Yu into the palace to live. ”

"So, thank you and princess. Yuwendu really bowed twice.

At one moment, the three of them were about to speak, but they heard a commotion outside.

"What's going on?" Empress Yuwen frowned when she heard this.

"This is the Flying Feather Palace's virtuous concubine Niangniang sent someone to report the good news, saying that the princess of Chang'an is happy, but now it will be two months. Yu Rong led a small yellow door and slowly came over and curtsy.

"Chang'an has been married for ten years, and now the good news has not lived up to Xie Yuma's infatuation. Empress Yuwen smiled when she heard this, "Yu Rong, and went to open the treasury, I remember that in the early years, I also received a one-foot-high Guanyin, as well as two century-old ginseng, you can choose a few more horses to send to the princess's mansion." ”

"Yes. Yu Rong really took the order, and this Yuwen Governor saw that the sky was rolling up and the clouds were almost the hour, so he also resigned from Queen Yuwen and Princess Huayang and went out of the palace.
