Let's say that Tang Yi was dressed and tied, entered the Jinluan Palace, and the mountain shouted long live to salute, then saw Yongmu get up, turned out from behind the table, walked to the front of Danqi, and said: "You already know about Li Huo's matter?"

Tang Yi nodded: "I already learned about it in the Ministry of War. ”

Zhao Yongmu sighed and said: "This soil baby, who has watched him grow up since he was a child, has become such a loyal and good general, but it is a pity that such a young talent was martyred at a young age, is it really a so-called jealous talent?"

Yongmu sighed, and said: "Everyone in the military department handed over another booklet, I will reward them one by one, Li Huo has made outstanding achievements in battle, I want to posthumously crown him the second rank of the general of the expedition to the north, add the title of the Marquis of Yuan, and then reward his family and others, what do you think?"

Tang Yi said: "The emperor is magnificent, and the ministers have no objections. ”

Zhao Yongmu nodded, looked at him and said, "Can you talk to Huaizhen about this?"

Tang Yi's expression was indifferent, and he didn't answer, Zhao Yongmu hesitated for a moment, and then said: "How come before, the Emperor Taishang ordered someone to give me a letter of harmony and departure, and now it is handed over to Zong Zhengsi, you ......"

Tang Yi lowered his eyelids and just ignored it.

Zhao Yongmu saw that he was silent, and muttered to himself: "But that's fine, do you know......? In the past, I heard the public words of the Ninth Duke that before the emperor fainted, he had never forgotten to execute Ying Lanfeng's family, but because he wanted to stop this matter, the concubine also committed suicide...... Therefore I am very embarrassed to reads();. With that, he sighed again.

Tang Yi frowned, still silent.

Zhao Yongmu glanced at him and said, "At the beginning, you said to me that you should not harm Ying Lanfeng, and I naturally agreed, but now, it is not that I want to harm him, let alone ......"

When Tang Yi heard this, he withdrew on one leg and knelt on both knees.

Zhao Yongmu was stunned for a moment, and was so busy that he wanted to hold on, and asked, "What are you doing?"

Tang Yi knelt on the ground and arched his hand and said: "Emperor Mingjian, because it has been carefully ascertained before, the leakage of the military aircraft of the military department is due to the assassination of the herald and the theft of secrets by Fusang Xizuo, which has nothing to do with Ying Lanfeng, and Ying Lanfeng has always had an outstanding reputation, and it is difficult to prove the death penalty with only one Fusang Xiaozuo's words, -- recently the minister has been thinking, what if this is the Fusang people's counter-plan?" It is naturally difficult to rob the prisoner from the Zhenfu Division, but it is also difficult to succeed in trying to assassinate the emperor in Ouchi, and no one is completely sure of success. What is the real intention of this person who does what he knows cannot do? Isn't it trying to take the opportunity to disturb the situation and make me kill each other in the court?"

Zhao Yongmu stared at him and paced back and forth.

Tang Yi said again: "And Li Huo is Huaizhen's cousin, and he is also half of the Ying family, Fang Caichen went to Yingfu, and Grandma Xu of the Li family is also in the mansion, and the old man is gray-haired, but he wants to send the black-haired man...... Let me ask, Li Huo has already died for the great victory in Haining Bay, how could Ying Lanfeng secretly collaborate with the enemy? Now that Li Huo has died, wouldn't it be chilling if the emperor wants to kill Ying Lanfeng again?"

Zhao Yongmu's face changed, and he finally asked, "What do you mean......?"

Tang Yi said: "The emperor might as well take this opportunity to commend Li Huo, pardon Ying Lanfeng, and clear his name." ”

Zhao Yongmu gasped and said after a while: "Even if you ...... I want to do so, but the Emperor ......"

Tang Yi said: "If the emperor condemns the crime, it will fall on the head of the minister." The minister hereby resigns from the post of secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and hopes that the emperor will approve the performance, and only send the minister to the southeast coast. ”

Zhao Yongmu was shocked: "What did you say!"

Tang Yi said: "The Fusang people originally wanted to invade Silla, but it was also a false way to destroy the enemy, and now although they are repelled, they covet our country's heart and do not die, not to mention that in the battle of Haining Bay, they saw the weakness of my Dashun's sailors, but I am afraid that although they have suffered defeat, they will inevitably rejoice in their hearts...... Before Li Huo and General Deng Lao died, they each left letters, showing all the shortcomings of the sailors one by one, and our generals felt that they were insufficient, and the Fusang people would naturally see it clearly in this battle, and in the next few years, they would naturally plot again...... If our country does not step up its efforts to stabilize its coastal defense, it will be difficult to predict the outcome of the next war. ”

Zhao Yongmu frowned: "Although what you said is reasonable, but ...... I have already ordered someone to do this, so why do you want to resign. ”

Tang Yi said: "It's not that the minister is angry, it's just that after careful consideration, the Tang family is already powerful, and Minli is now in the harem...... Naturally, it is inevitable that people will be jealous, and I have already transferred/trained a few people from the Ministry of Rites, except for Wen Ping, who stayed in Silla, Chen Ji and Jiang Dongtang, they are also useful, and Sha Luo and Zhan Min have been the most belligerent, and now they are also calm, at least fifty years of peace and quiet, other small countries, there is no need to worry, as long as there are no major mistakes, they can cope with it. ”

Zhao Yongmu listened to what he said, and he really seemed to be prepared, and said without waiting for him to finish speaking: "You don't have to mention this, don't you understand......? Are you afraid of ruining your name, or are you afraid of ruining me?"

Tang Yi shook his head: "It's okay to have a private relationship, but what the minister is looking at is Tian'an reads();." Just imagine, the main reason for the original detention of Ying Lanfeng was to stabilize the situation, but now that the battle of Silla has been won, the people's hearts are stable, and the sky is peaceful, so naturally there is no need to be afraid. Ying Lanfeng is also a capable minister, if it is really a divisive plan of the Fusang people, wouldn't it also destroy the Great Wall? Not to mention that the minister was also worried about the border defense of the southeast coast, and thought that it would be safe to go and see it in person. ”

Tang Yi said earnestly, then leaned over and kowtowed.

Zhao Yongmu stared at him, not knowing what to say, his chest rose and fell slightly, and finally said, "You...... I know all these words, and I will think about them carefully. ”

Tang Yi raised his head, the two looked at each other, Tang Yi smiled, and said, "The emperor just said...... The original agreement with the minister, the minister also remembered, the saying that ten thousand arrows pierced the heart, as if it was still in front of him. -- The minister boasted that he had never been ashamed of his family and the monarch in his life, and he also hoped that the emperor would fulfill the minister's wishes. ”

Zhao Yongmu frowned, and finally raised his hand to stroke his forehead, and said with a wry smile: "I know...... How could I not know...... I promised you that I would think about it, just get up quickly, I can't see you like this. ”

Tang Yi bowed his head and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty." Then he brushed his clothes and got up.

The two of them said a few more words, Tang Yi couldn't help but ask how the Emperor Ying Concubine came, Zhao Yongmu answered one by one, and asked him again: "Between you and Huaizhen...... I'm afraid it's also because of Lan Feng? If I forgive him this time, it should be fine?"

Tang Yi was stunned, and then said: "I boast that I have been ruthless all my life, and I can't think of it, but there are people who are more ruthless than me...... When you said that I was planted in the hands of that girl, I only laughed at it as nonsense, but now I know that you did have the foresight and made it a prophecy. ”

Zhao Yongmu was stunned, and he didn't quite understand.

Tang Yi didn't mention it anymore, but only asked Minli again. Zhao Yongmu was inconvenient to ask, so he only said: "She is very good...... It's just that in this palace, it's lonely, if you have leisure, you have to see her more. Speaking of this, he suddenly thought of his words that he had just proposed to go to Haijiang, and suddenly stopped talking.

Tang Yi just didn't hear it, said a few more words, and when he saw that it was not early, he quit the palace.

Zhao Yongmu saw him go, thought for a while, and then drove back to the harem.

Yongmu only went straight to Concubine Jing's palace, but unexpectedly she pounced and asked the palace maid, it turned out that Concubine Jing was going to visit Concubine Ying, but Xiao Shizi fell asleep in the inner hall.

Zhao Yongmu personally entered the inner hall, and saw the two grandmothers guarding the side, so he didn't ask them to move, he stood and watched for a while, and saw that the children in the cradle were sleeping exceptionally quietly, Yongmu smiled and smiled, and then came out.

So he only sat and waited outside, and after about a quarter of an hour, Minli rushed back with a letter and was busy with the salute.

Yongmu helped her up and sat down, Yongmu asked, "How is the concubine, are there better?" I wanted to see her in person, but I was afraid that it would alarm her, but it was not good. ”

Min Li's face was a little worried, because she said: "I heard that my life is fine, but I hurt my throat, I can't speak for the time being, and it is difficult to even eat, but I will suffer a crime again." ”

Yongmu sighed: "I didn't expect that the concubine has always been the most docile person, but she would also use such a drastic method. ”

Min Li nodded and said, "If this matter is put on someone else, the concubine will naturally feel puzzled, but she cares about her true sister because of the matter...... But the concubine understood very well. ”

Yongmu's heart moved, and he looked at Minli.

Min Li met his gaze and smiled: "If you are not afraid to blame the emperor, the relationship between the concubine and Huaizhen is the same as between me and Huaizhen...... If it is for the sake of nostalgia, I am afraid that I will also do this kind of thing to reads();. ”

Yongmu hurriedly shouted: "Nonsense! How can you even say such unseemly words!"

Min Li got up to confess, but Yongmu didn't really want to reprimand her, but hurriedly comforted: "Why did I mean you? I just want you to pay more attention to yourself, not to mention that if these words are heard by others, I am afraid that they will cause trouble again." ”

Min Li nodded, Fang wanted to sit down, and suddenly raised her hand to touch her chest, frowning a little sad.

The waiting palace maid hurriedly came to help, Yongmu also hurriedly got up and supported her, and asked, "What's the matter?

Min Li shook her head, and after sitting down, she said, "Since the emperor mentioned this matter...... The concubine was bold and wanted to ask the emperor for a favor. ”

Zhao Yongmu looked at him: "Yes...... Why?"

Min Li looked up at him and said softly: "It stands to reason that the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, but the concubine knows that he should be an adult, and he will never believe that he is a traitor, just now the concubine heard that the war in Silla has been peaceful, and Lord Ying has been suffering in the edict for many days, and I heard that he has been even more sick recently.......

Zhao Yongmu said: "That's it, you have to take care of yourself, don't be busy talking for others first." ”

As soon as he said a word, he heard the words outside: "The queen has arrived." ”

Not long after, I saw Guo Bailu walking in surrounded by several palace maids and eunuchs.

Seeing that the queen was coming, Min Li hurriedly stood up and wanted to salute, but Yongmu stopped and said: "I don't need to be in charge, you are not good, you don't need to do these tricks." ”

When Guo Bailu heard this, he also smiled and said: "Sister, sit down, I just heard someone pass on the imperial doctor, I don't know what happened to you, so I was busy taking a look...... If it makes you uncomfortable, isn't it a mistake?"

Min Li said with a smile: "Niang Niang is so generous, but it makes me ashamed and landless, there is nothing wrong with it, probably because I am in a hurry on the road, and I am a little useless in my heart, so I don't need to raise the teacher to spread the doctor." ”

Guo Bailu held her hand and said softly: "Don't have this kind of thought, if you feel that it is useless, you must ask them to come and see it frequently, if it is really inappropriate but not careful, wouldn't it be my dereliction of duty?" I am afraid that the emperor will not blame my sister for not being good at maintenance, but blame me for being negligent and treating you slowly." ”

Min Li only smiled and bowed her head: "Yes, Niangniang is so gentle and generous, which is the blessing of the concubine." ”

Zhao Yongmu saw her two one-on-one answers, only smiled and watched, and after listening to Minli's words, he asked the queen: "Where is Ankang, why don't you bring her over?"

Guo Bailu said: "I played with me in the imperial garden for a while, and then I fell asleep. It's also that she slept with her concubine before she dared to come over, otherwise she would make a fuss again, if she quarreled with her sister, wouldn't it be bad again?"

Yongmu said: "It's still the queen's heart, and I'll go over to see Ankang later." Guo Bailu nodded with a smile.

After talking like this for a while, sure enough, the imperial doctor came, because he saw that the emperor and queen were there, and after he was busy saluting, he stepped forward to check Minli's pulse, and after listening to it, he frowned, and because he stepped back, he asked another one to come forward and listen to the pulse.

Guo Bailu had already urged: "What's wrong, why don't you say it?"

The imperial doctor just smiled and said, "Don't worry, Niangniang, it's not sick...... It's just that one more person has indeed re-examined Concubine Jing, if it is correct, Weichen can say reads();. ”

Zhao Yongmu didn't ask, just watched from the sidelines, so instantly, the one of the imperial doctors also pulled back, and the two imperial doctors looked at each other, and they knew that it was undoubted, so they both knelt on the ground and said with a smile: "Congratulations to the emperor, Concubine Jing is happy!"

Zhao Yongmu raised his eyebrows, and a smile appeared in his eyes: "Oh?

The two doctors confirmed it, so they agreed with a smile.

When Guo Bailu heard that there was joy, her eyes widened in astonishment, and then she glanced at Zhao Yongmu, and when she saw him smiling slightly, she also laughed, and said, "Sure enough, congratulations to the emperor, it's really good news......

The female eunuchs of the bottom palace listened to it, and they also came in to congratulate her, and there were already palace maids who told Min Li inside, Min Li listened, was a little surprised, thought about it, but smiled again, raised her hand and stroked it on her stomach, and sighed softly.

After a while, the imperial doctors retreated, Zhao Yongmu stepped forward again, and when he saw that Minli wanted to get up, he gently held it down and stared at her for a long time before saying, "Now that you are pregnant, you should be more careful to take care of yourself...... Yes, I remember what you said to me before, and in fact, your brother told me long before you...... You can rest assured. ”

Min Li's eyes lit up, and she was surprised: "The emperor means ......"

Zhao Yongmu held her hand and said with a smile: "Hengzhu, you are pregnant, if the Emperor Taishang wakes up and knows that I have disobeyed his will, I will take you to prevaricate, and the Emperor Taishang will look at your face, I am afraid that I will not punish me." ”

Min Li couldn't help it, so she snorted and laughed, and said in a low voice: "Why is the emperor so naughty." ”

Yongmu stared at her smile, slowly leaned over and kissed her on the forehead, and said, "Do you remember when we were young...... What are the more naughty situations?"

Min Li looked at him with a little gentle color, and her heart moved, but she only smiled: "I don't remember." ”

Zhao Yongmu didn't say much anymore, but said: "You still have Baoshu, and now you are pregnant, you will inevitably suffer again......" thought about it, reassured a few words, and told everyone in the hall to be careful, before leaving.

Saying that, Tang Yi rode back on horseback all the way, and because he was worried about his wife and Xiao Jin'er, he went back to the Tang Mansion first.

Sure enough, Mrs. Tang was waiting eagerly, and when she saw him coming back, she asked, "Why did you go all day, and you must not know where to go?"

Tang Yi saw that his mother knew, so he smiled helplessly: "I just entered the palace." ”

Mrs. Tang sneered: "I don't care if you enter the palace or enter the ministry, why do you only call my daughter-in-law back first? Why haven't you seen anyone for half a day, so why won't you come back tonight?"

Tang Yi had to reluctantly answer "yes", Mrs. Tang glared at him, slightly angry, and said: "In normal times, it's okay, I also know that there is something in my in-laws now, and she is uncomfortable, but after all, with Xiao Jin'er, this child cried again first, and even refused to eat milk raw, so he coaxed him to sleep, if he woke up crying again after a while, and lost Huaizhen, how can it be?"

Tang Yi lowered his head and said, "Mother is just taking care of her for the time being." ”

Mrs. Tang became more and more angry, and said: "Listen to this, it can be seen that you ignore the children on weekdays, I am a grandmother, not a mother, where can I go for his own mother......?" You only said that Xiao Jin'er missed her, and she refused to stop crying, and Huai Zhenzi came back reads();. ”

Tang Yi felt sad in his heart, but it was not easy to tell Mrs. Tang, so he prevaricated and said, "Ming'er will go again." ”

Who knew that at this time, Xiao Jin'er woke up and started crying, and Mrs. Tang hurriedly went back to coax her.

Mrs. Tang felt sorry for her grandson, and couldn't help crying, and went out of the room, silently looked at Xiao Tang for a long time, and finally said: "Don't you tell me, and I don't know if you look at me......?" I just tried you, and you really won't admit it......"

Tang Yi was shocked and looked up at Mrs. Tang: "Mother......"

Mrs. Tang took out a handkerchief to wipe away her tears, and said: "I listened to those words, and I didn't want to believe it, but after thinking about it, I felt that it was true, otherwise why did Huaizhen go without making a sound? I also understand her heart, she naturally blamed you for her father's sake, I was going to Yingfu, but I went, what did I say?"

Mrs. Tang simply ignored Tang Yi, and said while crying: "You are like no one, and you are still hiding from me, I thought you were a daughter-in-law, different from the uneducated bastard prodigal son of other people, and now ...... He is also ruthless!" When he said this, he burst into tears.

Tang Yi saw that Mrs. Tang was really sad, and he was also sad, so he knelt on the ground and said, "Mother, the child doesn't dare." ”

Mrs. Tang cried for a while, and Xiao Jin'er also cried arrogantly, Mrs. Tang choked up and said: "Huaizhen, that child has been in the door since he entered the door, how many days have he be......en? Naturally, I like it more and more, where do I go to find such a good child......? You don't have to kneel here, just go and get her back, and if she doesn't come back, you won't come through this door again!"

After Mrs. Tang finished speaking, because she saw that Tang Yi was not moving, she shouted: "Don't go quickly!"

Tang Yi opened his mouth, but after all, he didn't have anything to say, so he agreed, stood up, and walked out. Walking to the door, Mrs. Tang said again: "You remember, don't make Huaizhen angry!"

Tang Yi still replied "yes", and then went out.

Therefore, I didn't even go back to the bedroom, but went straight to the door, and when I passed the gatehouse, I suddenly thought of a person, and when I looked inside, I saw a little guy running to the door and asked, "What do you command?"

Tang Yi asked, "What about fortune?"

The little maid said: "The first three grandmothers returned home, and Zhaocai was not at home...... I don't know where he went, but when he came back, he heard about it, so he hurriedly ran away...... I think he probably responded to the house. ”

Tang Yi nodded and went out.

Someone had already prepared a sedan chair, Tang Yi bowed down and went inside, but he didn't know where to go at the moment...... After thinking about it, he ordered: "Go to Ling Mansion." After thinking about it, he suddenly said: "First call someone to inquire where Ling Zhen's envoy is now, if it is in the mansion, send a message to him......"

The little guy hurriedly went first, came back in the middle of the night, and said through the sedan curtain: "It's in the house, and I've brought the master's words." ”

Not long ago, the sedan chair arrived outside Xingze Building, at this time at dusk, the sky was gloomy and cold, and there were many fewer pedestrians on the road.

Tang Yi got out of the sedan chair and was about to enter the building, when he suddenly paused, looked back at the right-hand side of his side...... I saw that by the wall around the corner, there was a shadow like smoke that flashed and disappeared.
