Chapter Seventy-Five: The Storm is Coming

Accompanied by the eunuch's sharp and loud two voices, "Retreat from the dynasty!" The ministers of the court and the central government neatly and magnificently "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

Dressed in various colors of python robes, wearing this kind of feathers, holding the board in his hand, the fish rushed out, at this time in the past, the ministers were so hungry, unless there was something, everyone hurried out of the palace gate, some went home and some were outside, and they ate in their respective yamen.

The guards guarding in front of the hall have seen more of these majestic first-class and second-grade officials outside in a hurry, no matter how big the official is, he can't escape the grains in the world, today is different, except for the Jinluan Palace, in the square in front of the palace, the three or five clusters have to talk, it seems that something has happened, several old people in the cabinet are frowning and gathering in the shadows, others dare not disturb, those who have no way to think are flying around like headless flies.

Most of the palace guards are deaf and clear-sighted, and they often hear bursts of "cooing" cries, and when they hear it, they all feel hungry, but these adults want to feel it as if they don't feel it, and the more they talk, the more energetic they become. The eunuchs leading next to them were at a loss, the time for the main gate of the Forbidden Palace to be locked was approaching, why were these adults still there

The adults who were still in the cabinet were still a little measured, and led the people of their respective groups out of the palace before the lock.

The guards couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, you know, the adults are stranded in the palace, these eunuchs have no right to drive them away, they are guarding the safety of the palace The guards are going to come to oppress people, some of them are outstanding children selected by the civil martial arts, some are the descendants of the powerful families, and the people are not willing to offend the adults who control their own net worth and future, and the powerful families are naturally not afraid of these, but it does not mean that they are willing to offend these elders who are in power in the family or in-laws.

While relaxing, I couldn't help but wonder, what happened in the more than an hour since I just entered?

Li Quan is the imperial manager of the Qianqing Palace, and he is also the great eunuch who serves the emperor closely, although he is said to accompany the king like a tiger, but he is accompanied by the emperor day and night, he dares to say that in this Forbidden City, those big and small masters, none of them know the emperor better than themselves, if they didn't give birth to the wrong gender, change gender, enter the palace, maybe they can be concubines and concubines, that's it, those little beauties are not holding themselves one by one, those concubines, seeing themselves are also polite, especially in these years, the emperor is old, the little princes have grown up, to get the sacred heart, not only the prince, but those nostrils are high, Seeing that he was eager to scold the last two traitorous eunuchs to show his high and loyal adults, he also had to laugh and hold his stinky feet. Although I often worry about what the saint is, but we are rootless people who are living well now, where can we manage the future, when the time comes, I wipe my neck and go down to serve the master. Besides, seeing that the emperor can live for many years, it's still early to talk about this!

Thinking like this, who knew that the emperor fell asleep in the court today, he didn't wake up after screaming several times, if he hadn't woken up in the end, he woke up in a daze, and he immediately shouted to retreat from the court, and the officials thought that the emperor was the emperor

That's how hundreds of officials still speculate non-stop, you must know that yesterday was still a holiday, and the cabinet will not be folded, this is something that everyone knows, and it is impossible for the emperor to fall asleep overnight. So, did the emperor favor the concubine last night so that he couldn't afford it early, or did the emperor reach that age, the former favored the concubine in his later years, and he didn't know how to measure, and the latter was old and old, the prince was young and strong, and the sons took the heir, which would cause turmoil in the court. The old ministers, who have gone through many dynasties, can't help but sigh that the sky is about to change again.

Li Quan supported or supported the emperor to the dragon, and instructed his apprentice to look at the emperor, help people into the inner palace, and arrange for people to ask for the imperial doctor. The emperor fell asleep in the court, he didn't dare to specialize in this kind of thing, and hurriedly ran to the harem, originally in the direction of Chengqian Palace, halfway through, and hurriedly turned to Kunning Palace.

When the emperor was named Zhao Ye, he had been on the throne for many years, the queen mother died early, and the original queen Sun died in childbirth after giving birth to the eldest prince, that is, the crown prince Zhao Zhenjin, and there was a daughter under her knee as the eldest princess. Later, he succeeded the Li family, the Li family had no children and no favor, was cowardly, and attached to the emperor, so the emperor also trusted Zhen Guifei more, Zhen Guifei came from the Zhen family in Jiangnan, and had the second prince Zhao Zhende, who was favored for many years, and most of the palace affairs were in her hands, in addition to the concubine De who had the third prince Zhao Qiqi and the ninth prince Zhao Zhenwei, the concubine An who had the sixth prince Zhao Qijin, the seventh prince Zhao Qiyin's concubine, and the second and third twin princesses of the Shun concubine. Three of the princes died at the age of three or four, and in order to relieve the pain of losing their son, the emperor took Zhao Zhensheng, the fourth prince born to Jiang Zhaoyi, who died early, to Concubine De to raise. The rest of the princes and concubines were either stupid, or died early, or were weak, or had a low family background, or were rejected by the saints, and they did not come out one by one.

This harem has ten points in the world, five points are in Zhen Guifei, one point is in the queen, three points are shared by four concubines, and the last point is shared by the rest of the people.

On this day, the queen got up early, looked at the vicissitudes of life and aging face in the mirror, and sighed slightly.

At that time, not long after the former queen went, the emperor and the former queen had no remaining love, and had a deep love with Zhen Guifei, worried that the new queen with a high background would rely on her identity to learn her beloved concubine, so she chose her own family background, and she was worried that she would be favored, and if she had children, she would give birth to some bad years for the prince left by her wife.

The grandmother next to her held the warm goat's milk and handed it to the queen, "Niangniang, today is not the day to say goodbye, why don't you sleep more?"

The queen took goat's milk and didn't drink it, "This is old, where can I sleep." ”

"Where is Niangniang, is she older than" Grandma wants to say that she is a few years younger than Zhen Guifei and the fourth concubine, where can she say this.

The girl entered the palace three years after the first queen went, and the actual age was several years younger than the fourth concubine Zhen Guifei who entered the palace with the first queen, but this did not make up, stood with them, born and old, and watched her from the girl who didn't know the taste of the boudoir to the unfavored queen who trembled in the deep palace and didn't dare to take a wrong step, Mama seemed to have phlegm in her throat, unable to speak, the depths of her nose were as sour as ten thousand spikes, and tears poured out of her old dry and filthy eyes, which were even more turbid. Under the strong pressure of the inner touch, the outside comes to humanity

"Qianqing Palace, Li Quan, Li Gonggong, please see Niangniang. ”

The queen was surprised, "Li Quan, Father-in-law, why is he here! Quick, please come in." ”

The queen doesn't like Li Quan, his arrival in the early years means that the emperor has to reprimand himself for the matter of Zhen Guifei or the prince, these years he has kept to himself, and he doesn't even dare to occupy half more of the palace power, plus she has no children, which is better. Li Quan also went to the Qianqing Palace to flatter him a lot in the past, and he only sent someone over when he had something to do here, why did he come here today?

Li Quan entered the inner hall of Kunning Palace, saw that the queen was dressing up, did not dare to look more, and said respectfully,

"Queen Mother, the emperor fell asleep in the morning today, and after being woken up by the slave, he was still staring in a daze, and the slave did not dare to be proficient, so he came to ask the mother to show it. ”

"What!"

The queen stood up suddenly. Although the emperor has never pampered her, but after so many years of husband and wife, the queen knows how much he is the husband who has the best face, when he was young, he had a bit of a hard-working Mingjun atmosphere, and when he was old, he was stubborn and radical, and paid more attention to surface kung fu, she also grasped this point, knowing that the emperor did not dare to leave the reputation of spoiling his concubine and destroying his wife, and it was much better in the past two years, how could such a person let him fall asleep in front of the ministers?

"Where did the emperor rest yesterday?" The queen knew that the emperor was obsessed with the Yangzhou beauties sent by the governor of Jiangnan today, didn't he lose his sense of proportion there?

"If you know Niangniang, the master rested alone in the Qianqing Palace last night, and he didn't recruit anyone to accompany him. ”

The queen walked back and forth, couldn't think of anything, let people dress up, arrange the phoenix, and go to the Qianqing Palace to take a look, Li Quan was very thoughtful in front of the saddle and behind the horse, the queen went to the chase, and saw Li Quan, who was standing respectfully on the side, a little relieved and a little resentful,

"Why didn't you go to your Concubine Zhen this time?"

Li Quan raised his eyebrows, but did not raise his head,

"Niangniang is the wife of the emperor's media, the queen mother has gone, Niangniang is the emperor's closest person, in the past, the palace rules or something can be arranged by the emperor's temperament, what is the emperor's body, naturally you have to inform Niangniang first. ”

Although the queen was not satisfied, but now the emperor still doesn't know what is going on, and it's not good to offend him early, so just vent your anger.

When he arrived at the Qianqing Palace, he happened to meet Zhen Guifei, the queen couldn't help but be shocked, according to Li Quan's statement, he came to his own Kunning Palace as soon as he came to the court, Kunning Palace is the closest to the Qianqing Palace, and he has not been in the Kunning Palace for a long time, even so, he also met with Zhen Guifei who came out of the Chengqian Palace, so it seems that this Zhen Guifei wanted to get the news from the emperor's palace, and her power in the harem is really covering the sky with one hand.

Zhen Guifei either saw the queen or didn't see it, and walked in quickly, the queen paused, smiled tolerantly, and followed in, no one saw the fists clenched tightly under the wide sleeves.

The emperor in the palace is angry with the imperial doctor.

"Go out, who let you come, I'm fine, who let you come, is to curse me? What about Li Quan? Where did Li Quan's kid go. ”

Li Quan stepped forward with a "hey" sound,

"The minions are here!"

The emperor threw the dragon pillow in his face with one hand, "Whoever let you, a minion, make his own decisions, come and beat him to thirty boards, and see if he dares to be my master!"

Li Quan knew that the emperor was angry, and he was afraid that there would be more than thirty boards to ask for it, and these thirty boards were nothing if they worked well, so he obediently went down.

The queen hesitated, Zhen Guifei didn't think she saw this mess, stepped forward and knelt beside the emperor, and coaxed softly,

"Why is the emperor so angry, he is frightened of his concubines, this person is not sensible, he is happy to train one or two, and if he is unhappy, he will directly hit the board and send it to the Shen Criminal Division, why be angry with himself, and hurt his body!"

The emperor took the hand of the concubine, took a few deep breaths, and finally the red face of anger finally subsided.

"Why is Concubine Ai here?"

"The concubine got up early today and wanted to come to see the emperor, who knew that the imperial doctor was coming, and the concubine thought that something had happened to the emperor, but the concubine was so scared that she couldn't do it. ”

Zhen Guifei touched her chest with her hands, her face was a little pale, the emperor had already forgotten that Zhen Guifei always slept on the pole on weekdays, and she was afraid of the cold, where would she go out so early. Seeing her make such a gesture, she didn't care about her own weakness and fatigue, and coaxed softly.

When the queen saw that the eldest of the two was not too old, and no one else had to talk about it, she rolled her eyes in her heart and was very disdainful.

After a while, the emperor may come to his senses, and when he saw that the queen was standing aside, he was very unhappy, and waved her back. Seeing that there was nothing wrong with him, the queen did not want to see their affection and love, so she saluted and went out.

Out of the door, I saw that several princes and concubines outside were guarding, the queen patiently said that the emperor was just tired of Yunyun, and coaxed everyone back, and then saw that the imperial doctor was still there, and found that it was Imperial Doctor Li, Imperial Doctor Li and Queen Li are of the same family, although the relationship is very far away, in this harem is somewhat helpful, the queen does not believe that the emperor has nothing to do, he is the most disobedient to the old, but he will not be so angry, is this afraid that Imperial Doctor Li will see something or he said something he doesn't like? Just now, because of Zhen Guifei's insertion, the emperor forgot to punish Imperial Doctor Li, and the queen thanked her for the first time for his insertion.

After everyone left, the queen motioned for Imperial Physician Li to follow.
