In February, there had just been a snow in Beiping, and the willow trees covered with frost and snow in the courtyard of the palace were also covered with silver ribbon armor, and silver strips hung on the trees, which was particularly bright and dazzling. And the strings of upside-down ice bars hanging down on this tree are not a naturally formed landscape, but a spectacle that Zhang Zhaohua instructed his subordinates to splash with a basin of water for half a night before it was rectified.

Normally, at this time, it doesn't snow much, so the snow the day before yesterday is probably the last snow of winter, and the snow after that is called spring snow, and it is half snow and half rain. On cold days, when the fog droplets hit the branches and other objects below freezing, they condense into white loose ice crystals again, and this scene has a beautiful name "foggy". China is the earliest country in the world to record rime, as early as the "Spring and Autumn Period" there is a record of "tree crops", and in the "Word Forest" compiled by Lu Chen in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, its explanation is: "The cold air freezes like a pearl and sees the sun disappears, and Qilu calls it rime." ”

The formation conditions of rime are not harsh, it is a natural phenomenon similar to frost that can often be seen in winter in the north, and it is also common in the mountain lakes in the south, as long as there are cold water droplets in the fog. As for the rime mentioned before, it was Zhang Zhaohua who came up with the idea - she wanted to artificially create some landscapes, because there was no rime after a heavy snowfall, but with her method, the trees all over the courtyard were clear and snowy, and thousands of wisps of snow were flying. When the trees bear silver flowers and rime, it is also a good time for literati and scholars to sing and feast. Gao Chi also felt good, and also set up a banquet in the institute and invited the masters of the Jishan Institute to come over. Several Ji Shan and waiters of Ji Shan have all come to the world to see it, and they are all very interested, and they think it is wonderful.

Previously, Gao Chi also criticized Zhang Zhaohua for wasting manpower, and what he said was not bad, because Zhang Zhaohua not only called the little girls who were waiting around her, but also supported several palace people and eunuchs around her, carrying water, splashing water, and working for two hours, she was so tired that she was panting like a roar, and she ordered to stop.

He wanted to talk, but he saw Zhang's give him a look and asked him not to speak, he thought for a while and really didn't speak, and when the group was done, Zhang Zhaohua called them to stand in the courtyard, his eyes swept over everyone, and said: "You were just ordered by me to pour water and water the trees, some people listened to my words and made great efforts, some people were sneaking and playing tricks, and some were pointing and pointing, as if they hadn't heard it." ”

As soon as she said and waved her hand, she saw Han Dong coming over with the roster, and actually wrote down the performance of everyone just now, she named them one by one, divided dozens of people into three groups, and gave the first group, that is, fifteen people who spared no effort and were not lazy, and each of them actually gave a reward of twenty taels of silver, which was the income of the middle family for one or two years.

During the Chinese New Year, Gao Chi also gave them a reward, dozens of eldest sons, and sometimes they could also send one or two silver silver bills, which was already a good reward, Zhang Zhaohua also followed Gao Chi to send a reward, each time it was even a little less than Gao Chi, but I didn't expect that this time Zhang Zhaohua waved his hand and actually doubled so much silver, only to see a plate of silver dollar treasures, neatly placed there, dazzling people's eyes, and everyone could see that their eyes were straight.

Listening to the cheers, Zhang Zhaohua turned his gaze to the people in the second group, who also looked at the people who took the reward with envy, thinking that although they were a little lazy and lazy, they had also listened to the envoy, and they didn't ask for so much as twenty taels of silver, at least five taels or ten taels.

Zhang Zhaohua looked at them and sneered, first did not send them down, but looked at the third group, that is, the three or five people who did not listen to Zhang Zhaohua's command at all, these people came to serve outside the hospital, and secondly, they not only served Gao Chi alone, but usually had no contact with Zhang Zhaohua, but Zhang Zhaohua naturally would not let them go, the people in this mansion, except for the people around King Yan and the princess, she had no courage to support, who else dared not listen to her?

These people called Zhang Zhaohua to watch, they all lowered their heads, Zhang Zhaohua didn't wait for them to have any excuses, dragged down and rewarded each person with ten sticks, the executioner was still Han Ying Cuiying, Han Ying asked Gao Sui to stab her stomach before, but the sword actually didn't hurt her internal organs, and because she was lying flat, the blood flowed slowly, and she actually asked Liu Guan to treat her, using the bandaging method for the big men in the army, and she also lost Han Ying's strong physique, raised for a few months, and now she is still as strong as a cow.

Han Ying's family received a huge compensation from Gao Sui, which was enough for them to become a wealthy family, and Han Ying was very happy to say it, and he didn't care at all. She rescued it, but Xiao Miao didn't, and Xiao Miao was offended and her parents died a long time ago.

Han Ying Cuiying and the two started very quickly, and they didn't shy away from the eunuchs and deacons under their hands, and they were beaten when they picked up their pants, and their buttocks were bruised and swollen, and some of them had broken skin, but they could still stand up after the beating. Zhang Zhaohua looked at their style of play, and was not very satisfied, thinking about the day when he would send them to the trial center to learn from the experience, or call the people from the trial center to come over and give them some dials, to see what kind of play can have traces and what kind of no traces.

After these people finished the fight, they all lowered their heads, and they couldn't see the expressions on their faces, Zhang Zhaohua knew that they were not convinced, they were originally serving in the outer courtyard, but now they just followed up to see the excitement, how they were punished inexplicably - what if they were not convinced, Zhang Zhaohua next punished the people around him who served but did not work hard to be obedient.

Among these people even included Wang An, the chief manager of Gao Chi's side, he stood on the steps, pretending to command a few times, it seemed that he was coordinating the division of labor, but in fact, he was avoiding the splashing of water, how Zhang Zhaohua was not clear, and there were a few girls around Zhang Zhaohua, who knew that Zhang Zhaohua was kind, and they also laughed at them, sometimes when they joked, Mama Qian felt that it was too much, but Zhang Zhaohua didn't say anything, and never punished them.

And this time, Zhang Zhaohua didn't spare them at all, but he gave them a little face, telling them to move into the house and beat them, so that they couldn't show their buttocks so that the eunuchs and deacons could see them, and they didn't have to die of shame.

Of these eleven people, Zhang Zhaohua ordered each of them to be beaten with 20 sticks, which was heavier than the punishment of those who didn't listen to her at all before, not to mention that ordinary people couldn't figure it out, Gao Chi was also surprised, but he heard Zhang Zhaohua himself say: "If you don't tell them to do it, it's just that, since you have listened to it, you are still cheating and cheating, and it is a hundred times more hateful than the former!

Zhang Zhaohua pretended to be kind to this group of people, treated them with affection, and never indulged in self-indulgence. And let them not have two hearts, desperately serve, only carrots and sticks of the policy, make mistakes, will not spare you, but you have done things well, and you will never fall into the reward, and this reward is quite rich, driving everyone to have a desire for profit, and not to retreat until death.

Although the people on the left and right have the sorrow of the slender, Zhang Zhaohua still treats them as before after the punishment, and some of them are even richer because of this. Gao Chi couldn't help but sigh when he saw her doing this, and he still warned her not to be too arbitrary, after all, her stick was a lynching. The court in the house is the place of punishment and punishment, and the people who serve make mistakes and are judged there can be convicted and sentenced, which is the right way.

Zhang Zhaohua also nodded yes, but he didn't care in his heart. In China's society, it is always the superiors who encroach on the authority of the law, to put it bluntly, the law is actually for the superiors, if you beat someone like her, where does the court dare to investigate her for the crime of lynching.

This is what happened the evening before yesterday, Zhang Zhaohua was as if nothing had happened, and when the next day dawned, he was very happy to see the beautiful scenery of the rime, and ordered to set up a few warm pots in the window of the house, and the copper pot was eaten hot pot.

In the past, if she was instructed to go down, things could be done, but not so quickly, but now Zhang Zhaohua gave an order, and she could see seven or eight people echoing at the same time, which made her feel much more satisfied.

But at night, she was not in such a happy mood, because her stomach gradually hurt, and she couldn't sleep well, because these days were in the middle of the night for a while, Zhang Zhaohua gritted his teeth and wanted to endure it, like last night, half an hour was almost over. This kind of labor pain is very common in the days when she is about to give birth, and her tolerance for pain is relatively high, but when she sees Gao Chi snoring on the side, she is very unhappy.

She flew up and kicked Gao Chi on the waist, kicking Gao Chi awake. Gao Chi rubbed her eyes and sat up, seeing that she was sweating profusely in pain, he got out of bed and poured water for her to drink. Unfortunately, since they went to bed, all the teacups and teapots have been drained. This is also a big rule, since ancient times overnight tea is not allowed to drink, for fear that there will be geckos mating at the water's edge at night, and its ** will fall into the water and be mistakenly swallowed. Because gecko urine is poisonous, the eyes are blind and the ears are deaf, and the most toxic part of this thing is not urine, but ***, it is said that if you accidentally eat it, it will turn into pus like drinking bone water.

Gao Chi couldn't find water, but the coral of the vigil was alarmed, and there happened to be a prepared ** in the small kitchen, and when she looked over, Zhang Zhaohua was already sweating in pain, and she felt that this time the pain did not subside, but became more and more intense, so she considered whether to call Wen Po to come and see, but she was afraid that this would alarm other people, just thinking about it, she only felt a hot current in her lower body rushing down, and her underwear was soaked all of a sudden.

The amniotic water broke, this time it was undoubtedly going to be produced, the son of the world was shocked, Wen Po and Mama rushed in, boiling water, sending letters, and small kitchens, hurriedly making chicken noodle soup out of the fire, Zhang Zhaohua gritted his teeth and drank two large bowls, and then a cork was stuffed into his mouth.

When the lights came on, the lights in the nave also came on.

It's not that I knew in advance that Zhang Zhaohua was going to give birth, but Yan Wang Zhu Di suddenly had a dream, and woke up from the dream, and the princess saw him roll out of bed, and hurriedly ordered the lamp to be lit, and said, "Your Highness, what dream did you have?"

King Yan is used to marching and fighting, he has always slept lightly, and he dreams less, and he has just closed his eyes for a long time, and when he is half asleep and half awake, he suddenly sees the emperor standing in front of him, King Yan was suddenly shocked, and hurriedly bowed down and said: "Where did the father come from?"

The emperor's face was marked, and his beard was white, but he looked at Zhu Di's gaze, as if it was no longer as majestic as before, so many scenes in the past gradually broke free from the memory of annihilation, he seemed to have returned to a long time ago, when he was still under the queen's knees, the emperor looked at them like an old wolf lying lazily in the hole after fighting outside, playing with the little cubs around him, that kind of gaze Zhu Di has always remembered, but after the death of the eldest brother of the prince in twenty-four years, the emperor's gaze no longer seems to have any temperature。

The Emperor looked at him and seemed to smile a little, then patted him on the shoulder, told him to stretch out his hand, and put something in his hand.

"The descendants of the heirloom will prosper forever. The emperor's fluttering voice came, and when he looked up again, he saw that the emperor's figure became like a thin smoke, and he was so anxious that he shouted: "Father, father-"
