43.Counterattack of the court (14)
Chengzhi four years, Emperor Huan Ji Jincheng and Pingjin Marquis daughter Li Shu hit it off at first sight, and then called him into the palace every day to accompany him, it can be seen that the length of the saints, up to the courtiers down to the market have been rumored to be able to treat this woman and Lu, will become the master of the harem. For a time, Loei was more crowded than in the past.
In the fifth year of Chengzhi, the imperial historian Lin Minzhi took the initiative to return the power of the prison country, and Prime Minister Li Sheng followed the proposal.
In the same year, the Qinhe River basin broke out due to continuous rainfall, and the dikes were washed away and countless fertile fields in the state capitals were flooded
After this battle, the young Son of Heaven's governing skills and far-sightedness in politics are breathtaking, and he can only sigh that the blue is better than the blue. Lin Minzhi, who shared hardships with the people and was honest and honest, was generally loved by the people, and when he left, he was even more tearful in his eyes.
In the sixth year of Chengzhi, Emperor Huan sent troops to exterminate the notorious new rogue forces in the territory, stabilize public order, and restore peace to the people.
Spring goes to autumn, and it's another year.
In the middle of winter, counting nine cold days, the whole Yong'an City is covered by snow, only three or two red plums are desperate to survive, and they bloom proudly in the cold wind whistling by. After Ji Jincheng finished reviewing the recital, he looked at the gloomy sky outside the window and was a little stunned. Li Shu, who was sitting on the stove with her hand on the side, sighed secretly, thinking that if she didn't say anything again, her majesty might never remember that there were still people in this Qianyuan Palace.
"Your Majesty is tired for a long time, why don't you rest?"
Ji Jincheng came back to his senses and said lightly: "No, just stay for dinner today." ”
Li Shu: "...... Be. ”
This meal is not surprising to eat without knowing the taste, it is said that the atmosphere of the table is the most important, the host is absent-minded, how can the guests not sit on pins and needles? And this kind of situation, Li Shu was forced to experience it for three years. Yes, at the moment when Ji Jincheng put down the chopsticks, the girl suddenly perked up, and she felt that she had finally come out. However, before she could breathe a sigh of relief, the other party came up with a new trick.
"It's lonely and thoughtful, let you sit here for a long time, and go with you alone." Before the words fell, the man had already stood up and was ready to go out.
Li Shu choked up at the freezing scene outside the hall, and once again determined that this young and promising emperor was not even satisfactory in terms of emotion - who would invite the person who wants to go out and drink the northwest wind on a cold day?! Even if it's a play, it's good to do it!
No wonder I can toss a good lover into a family like this, sure enough, no one is perfect, and the ancients did not deceive me. The girl said with a particularly sincere face: "Mr. Lin will enter the palace in a short time, and His Majesty has watched the concert for a morning, and I think there is something important to explain to him." ”
Ji Jincheng really stopped and sat back. Li Shu's inner feeling is simply indescribable.
When Yan Xilan came, he also brought a message about Zhao Huaiyuan.
In the winter of the seventh year of Chengzhi, the great Sima Zhao Huaiyuan broke through Beidi, forcing the Tiele cavalry to send envoys to Beijing to negotiate peace with the soldiers of the great cadres who returned to the dynasty with their divisions. As soon as the news came out, the whole country rejoiced, and the people rushed to tell each other, and they straightened their waists and said with red faces that General Zhao was really a god from heaven, and I was fortunate to be a great worker.
Of course, he wasn't going to say something that everyone knew about.
"Zhao Huaiyuan has people from the King of Chu by his side, and he has followed him into Beijing." Yan Xilan handed the letter to Ji Jincheng, "This person's name is Baili Xi, who succeeded Yan Zhichun as the right-hand man of the King of Chu three years ago, and then served as a messenger to travel back and forth between Northern Xinjiang and Southern Chu, and this time he entered Beijing as Zhao Huaiyuan's personal guard. ”
The young man sat as steady as Mount Tai and didn't move, until Li Shu resigned himself to taking it from Yan Xilan's hand and then sending it to him, then he slowly stretched out his hand to take it.
Li Shu subconsciously glanced at the young man who was still calm and breezy under the seat, and then secretly looked at Ji Jincheng, who was expressionless, the other party was falling into a certain agitation because of the indifference of the young man, hastily turned it over, snorted, and said in a rather impulsive tone: "The inside should be combined with the outside, it is good to think about it, Ji Liuguang has been working hard for three years with Shi Changqing's filial piety money, and finally he can't help it." ”
Yan Xilan looked at Li Shu, whose face had changed, and asked, "What does Auntie think?" ”
Feeling the thorny gaze from behind him, Li Shu secretly complained in her heart, sir, don't call me like this in front of Your Majesty again, otherwise the one-third of an acre of land in the Qianyuan Hall will have to be flooded by the overturned acid water.
However, this is not something she can say.
The girl sorted out her thoughts, frowned and replied: "The folk girl thinks that even if something happens, it is not the right time now. Everything pays attention to the teacher is famous, it is impossible for the king of Chu not to know this, His Majesty has made many good achievements in controlling floods and bandits since he came to power two years ago, and has been talked about by the people, and at this time there is chaos, even if he is known as the king of virtue, he cannot hide the fact of his rebellion, and in recent years, he has been suppressed, and the operation of the fief has been intermittent, unless ......"
"Unless, he has a plan in mind." Ji Jincheng said lightly: "The current situation is unclear, so it is not appropriate to speculate." Slightly raised the corner of his eyes and glanced at Yan Xilan, "Let the dark three and the dark five go with your people to find out the news, as for Zhao Huaiyuan, let Gu come to meet him." At the end of the words, a pair of phoenix eyes were full of majesty, and the strong aura that filled the body directly oppressed the person breathlessly.
Yan Xilan was stunned, and realized in a trance that he had really grown up.
"Sir? Mr? ”
The girl's puzzled call echoed in her ears, and the young man came back to his senses and asked, "What is the matter?" ”
Li Shu sighed a second sigh in her heart, and the biting cold wind blowing in her face made her pull her fur collar cloak to cover her face, and her voice looked a little dull through the thick and soft clothing. "If the gentleman needs any help, please mention it to Ah Shu, and Ah Shu will do her best to help him."
The young man smiled, and whispered softly with his eyebrows and eyes: "Thank you, Auntie, I understand this heart." In the past three years, I have worked hard for you. ”
When Li Shu heard this, she felt even more sad. "Sir, don't say that, if there is no secret help from Mr. Xià, how can A-Niang and I live today's life, not to mention that a female streamer can still follow a famous person like Mr. to do learning, the grace of dripping water should be reciprocated by a spring, what I do is my own volition, Mr. does not need to worry."
The young man patted her head lightly through the hood, but said nothing. The two walked together in the long deep alley out of the palace, leaving two rows of footprints of different shades in the white snow.
The girl looked up and looked at the side of his face. The silhouette of the young man is still delicate and soft, and the years do not seem to have left any traces on him, only the eyes have precipitated the glitz of the world, which is extraordinarily profound. He has lost a lot compared to the first time he saw him, and there is a faint green shadow under his eyes, even so, it does not damage his bones, and he is still as noble and warm as before.
But she knows that the reason why His Majesty can have such achievements today is inseparable from this Lin family's son, who looks soft. The latter can even be said to have spent countless efforts and energy on this.
Maybe women are naturally more sensitive to emotions, or maybe the authorities are obsessed with bystanders, Li Shu can sense the true emotions suppressed in the depths of his heart from Ji Jincheng's restlessness and sleeplessness after the young man left the Qinhe River, and he can also find some clues behind the actions of the youth, but his heart is shrouded in a thick fog, which cannot be seen clearly, so that those who want to explore the truth can only stand outside the fog and be helpless.
Li Shu couldn't help but ask: "Sir, what do you ......think about Your Majesty?"
"Here we are." The young man stopped, "Miss Li take care all the way." ”
The girl found that the two had unconsciously walked to the gate of the palace, not far away, her sedan chair was quietly parked, and several sedan chair bearers put their hands in their sleeves and jumped around the sedan chair to keep warm. Li Shu hurriedly stood up and walked slowly, and endured with regret in her heart that she didn't look at the young man again.
In the evening, Li Sheng, who had returned from official business, took the initiative to visit the small garden where Li Shu lived - since the emperor showed obvious love for her three years ago, the prime minister finally remembered that he still had such a daughter, and his attitude towards her changed instantly, and he was as gentle as a gentle father without pressure. Li Shu saw through the warmth and coldness of human feelings because of this, and her mood was a little uneasy.
Her mother Yun Niang was originally born in the Jiangnan scholarly family, but the family road is down, the inheritance has been weak, Li Sheng values its beauty, so he accepted it as a concubine, at the beginning it was very warm for a while, just when Yun Niang thought that she must be inseparable from Li Sheng's wish to be a person in this life, the eldest lady appeared.
Li Sheng's eldest lady Chen is the proud daughter of heaven who got married, it can be said that Li Sheng's first step to make a fortune is to marry her, and he is also polite to her on weekdays. Yun Niang has not been troubled by the eldest lady before, but she has been nurtured by the love of the children of Jiangnan since she was a child, and she was extremely emotional, and she only felt that she could endure it for Li Sheng, until the Ruyi Langjun in her heart gave up her in order to stabilize her rights. Gradually, the color faded and Aiways, and there was no possibility of turning back.
Yun Niang's last hope in her heart was ruthlessly extinguished, and the other party's attitude of turning a blind eye to the suffering of their mother and daughter in the back house made her cold to the bones, depressed and sick all day long, holding Li Shu's hand and muttering about the obsessive love that used to be, when it came to the future, her eyes gradually revealed some brilliance, as if that day had never left her. Li Shu was ignorant when she was young, and she only felt sad when she heard it, but now she has a trace of sadness.
The silk flower that can only rely on others to survive, is weak and can't withstand any wind and rain, and its demise should blame the impermanence of the world, or its own weakness and uselessness?
The story is lackluster, pitiful without any new ideas, but those pains and emotions are real, and the red dust of the people in the bureau tosses and turns, love and hatred, and will not fade in the slightest.
"Shu'er is fifteen years old this year." Li Sheng took the tea offered by Li Shu and sighed: "In the memory of being a father, you are still a girl as if you were yesterday, and you have grown so big today." ”
Li Shu lowered her head and sat obediently and did not answer.
Li Sheng's eyes were kind, as if he was really planning for his daughter's father, and said softly: "Now that you have reached the age of marriage, it is harmful to your reputation to always enter and leave the palace without a name or a point, and my father does not want to see you criticized, so he discussed with several ministers to mention this matter in the morning tomorrow." His Majesty has also reached the age of age, and it is time to consider the issue of heirs. ”
