When he came out of Kuntai Palace, the gloom on the face of the British Gongjing Zi Qiao could not be hidden. Thinking of what the Queen Mother had just said to him, he felt even more sad in his heart, and couldn't help but sigh secretly.

The little inner supervisor led him out of the main hall of Kuntai Palace, and soon turned onto the road outside the palace.

Kuntai Palace is built to be spacious, there are large pieces of flowers and trees outside the palace, lush, in this early summer, the group is fragrant, and the bees and butterflies compete to pounce on each other, so it is not gorgeous and colorful!

On the edge of this flower, there was a plain figure, and not far away, Wei Shun, who was wearing a near-service uniform, waited with low eyebrows.

The little inner eunuch who was leading the way in front saw Yu Wenrui first, his expression was dazed, and he knelt down and saluted in a proper manner: "Your Majesty! ”

He bowed. At the moment of his body, Jing Ziqiao also realized it, and there was a "pop" in his heart, when did the Secret Emperor appear outside the Kuntai Palace?

Although he had doubts in his heart, the years of experience had created a trace of chaos, and he also bowed down one by one. He went and bowed: "Chen Jingzi Qiao see my emperor!" ”

Yu Wenrui was originally standing among the flowers, twisting a lily and sniffing lightly. Hearing the voice of the little inner eunuch, he looked indifferent, but when he heard Jing Ziqiao's voice, his handsome eyebrows stretched slightly, revealing a faint smile, and called Wei Shun: "Why don't you pick up Jing Qing?" I have a hot filial piety in my body, Jing Qing is not strange. ”

The latter sentence is said to Jing Ziqiao.

Wei Shunzao ran over and picked up Jing Ziqiao.

The emperor said politely, but Jing Ziqiao didn't dare to accept her politeness, and hurriedly said respectfully: "The old minister doesn't dare to be!" ”

"Aiqing is the pillar of the country, and the Jing family is loyal and good, so they naturally deserve it," Yu Wenrui paused and said, "The queen mother is newly mourning, I and the queen mother are both sad in their hearts, Aiqing is a veteran of several dynasties, and it is good to share more worries for the queen mother and me." ”

The older the emperor gets, the deeper his thoughts become, and the more Jingzi Qiao has experienced the world, the more he feels as if he can't see through her. The emperor's previous sentence obviously lifted the Jing family to a high place, which made Jing Ziqiao feel uneasy in his heart; The latter sentence of the so-called "more worries" obviously refers to the fact that he, as a foreign minister, appeared in the forbidden palace at this moment. Even if he is the biological father of the current Queen Mother, since the Queen Mother has married into the Heavenly Family, she is a member of the Heavenly Family.

It can be seen that his appearance made His Majesty the Emperor unhappy.

Jing Ziqiao secretly wondered why the emperor was not happy. Is it because she was summoned by the Queen Mother, and she didn't know? Or is there something else going on?

Jing Ziqiao thought of the things that the Queen Mother had entrusted to her in Kuntai Palace, and she was worried. There are some things that he can't ask, but that doesn't mean he doesn't notice them......

Regardless of whether those rumors are true or not, at the moment, the safest thing to do is to do what you have to do.

Jing Ziqiao figured out the key in his mind after only a few back and forth, and he said respectfully again: "It is the duty of a courtier to relieve the worries of the lord, and the old minister will do his best." ”

Yu Wenrui smiled slightly, but he also knew that there was nothing to be said from the mouth of this old fritter. She wanted to know too much what happened when Jing Yan invited Jing Ziqiao into the palace, and she strongly suspected that it was related to the empress dowager's last words.

What could it be? Yu Wenrui was puzzled.

"Because of filial piety to my mother, I will drop out of the dynasty in a few days, and there is nothing important in the previous dynasty, right?" Yu Wenrui said as he stroked the tender edge of the lily. Well, even though it is a completely white flower and blooms side by side, it is also extraordinarily delicate.

What was the big deal in the previous dynasty, can you not know? Jing Ziqiao said secretly.

The emperor has a very strict control over the affairs of the court, you see that she was in Beizheng in the previous days, and as soon as she returned to Beijing, she was the empress dowager's new mourning, as if she had no time to take care of the government. But no one in the Manchu Dynasty is blind, the inner court guards who ran between the capital and Beizheng on a fast horse before, the inner eunuch who hurriedly came and went in the palace with a box recently, and then there is the Master Pei who "looks after the house for his beloved disciples", with a dark face, Yasai's father...... Let me ask the ministers, which one dares to slack off for half a point?

Yes, when Jing Ziqiao was asked about the previous dynasty, he was almost certain that it was the emperor who was testing his loyalty.

"Your Majesty has a filial piety and sincerity, and the Empress Dowager knows it, so she must be pleased to like it," Jingzi Qiao paused and said, "In the past and middle affairs, with Lord Pei and all of you here, Your Majesty can also worry less." ”

When Yu Wenrui heard this, his eyebrows and eyes stretched slightly: "What do you think Master Pei thinks?" ”

"Your Majesty means?"

Yu Wenrui said with a smile: "Qing is a veteran of several dynasties, and when I was young, I was still the minister of the first emperor, so it can be said that I grew up. In this court, except for the Queen Mother, no one knows them better than Aiqing......"

"Don't dare to be a minister!" Jing Ziqiao said hurriedly. The queen mother's surname is Jing, if the emperor says so, the Jing family knows more than the emperor! It's worth it!

"Don't be nervous!" Yu Wenrui comforted him and said, "I was raised by the Queen Mother, and now I am only twenty years old, and there are still many days to come, and there are still many people who need to learn from the world's virtuous virtues." ”

Seeing that the surprise on Jing Ziqiao's face eased slightly, Yu Wenrui turned back to the previous question: "So, for the long-term plan of Da Zhou, I want to ask Aiqing how Master Pei is in Aiqing's eyes!" ”

Three sentences and two sentences are inseparable from "Master Pei", what else can I do?

Jing Ziqiao knew that the emperor wanted to promote Pei Chonghui and ask for a confession here!

Pei Chonghui is a good person, both for people and for politics, except for ...... Ahem, occasionally a little bit of informality, the rest is fine. For this person, Jing Ziqiao really can't find any thorns.

He thought for a while and said: "As far as the minister knows, Master Pei's official reputation has always been good, and he has always been in government, and the minister looks at it is also very efficient and proper, but it ...... The temperament is a little too free. ”

"Qing summed it up properly," Yu Wenrui praised and said with a smile, "Master Pei has unique ideas, I have studied with him since I was a child, and I know that he has some unique insights. Don't you think that now my Great Zhou is in need of such an unrigid auxiliary minister? ”

Ministers of the Auxiliary King!

Jingzi Qiao's heart jumped, and he really wanted to be greatly promoted!

Whatever the character of the lord is, he naturally likes the courtiers of what kind of temperament; The emperor himself is an informal character, how can he not like Pei Chonghui, who is also out of order?

Ah! Jing Ziqiao suddenly realized: Your Majesty has been studying with Pei Er since he was a child, it won't be Pei Er who taught him like this! Fortunately, fortunately, my son is serious, otherwise this government may not be tossed into something!

At this time, Jing Ziqiao suddenly rejoiced that Jing Yan married the Heavenly Family.

"If Your Majesty has nothing else to do, the minister will pray to retire." Keiko Qiao said. After a little more talking, this master may not be able to ask something.

"Aiqing, please." Yu Wenrui said. For this old minister of the Three Dynasties, the father of the person she fell in love with, Yu Wenrui has always remembered respect.

Jingzi Qiao's heart was relieved. But as soon as he stepped out of his front foot, he heard Yu Wenrui suddenly remember something: "Yue'er's injury, how is it?" ”

Jing Ziqiao's nerves tensed again: "It's almost better." ”

He said, bowing down. When he went, he bowed and worshipped: "Jing Jiayue acted recklessly and almost killed His Majesty that day...... If Your Majesty has any strengths and weaknesses, there will be no place for the Jing family to die! ”

Yu Wenrui hurriedly ordered Wei Shun to help him up, and comforted: "I and Yue'er are friends of the general horn, and at the moment of life and death, how can I abandon my life?" The day before yesterday, Aiqing had already thanked me, so there is no need to talk about this matter all the time. ”

Jing Ziqiao loves her granddaughter, and Jing Jiayue was sent back to the British government after the accident, which scared him half to death; When I heard that in order to save his granddaughter, the emperor was also seriously injured, and he was so shocked that he almost gave up his remaining half of his life. He knew that for Jing Jiayue alone, the Jing family owed the emperor too much, and he had to be loyal to the death to repay the king's kindness.

"Every time I think about this, I feel ......scared," Jing Ziqiao sighed.

"It's all in the past, don't you look at me now?"

Jing Ziqiao raised his eyes and looked at the shallow marks on the emperor's face, when he first saw the Empress Dowager in front of the Empress Dowager that day, he guessed that the emperor's scar was from the time when he was seriously injured. In the future, this scar will always remind the Jing family of the debt owed in front of the emperor.

"Whoever is a courtier should share the sorrow of the lord, but let the lord bear the worry of his life...... The minister is always reluctant to go. Jingzi Qiao was full of shame.

Yu Wenrui seemed to joke: "If Qing really feels guilty about me, just wait for when I need to do me a favor in the future, how about it?" ”

As she spoke, she folded off the lily she had been playing with, stuffed it to Jing Ziqiao, and said with a smile: "The scenery of early summer, enjoy it with Qing." ”

Jing Ziqiao looked at the emperor's bright face, and then looked down at the lily in his hand, dumbfounded. He always felt that something was wrong.

In the blink of an eye, another few days have passed.

Yu Wenrui didn't disturb Jing Yan anymore, she went to the court every day, and after the dynasty was dispersed, she went to Shoukang Palace to pay tribute. The two of them see each other every day, but there is no more communication except for greetings, although the tacit understanding is still there.

Jing Yan is either in Kuntai Palace or in Shoukang Palace every day. The amazing thing is that whenever she knelt alone in front of the Empress Dowager's Zi Palace, thinking about it and thinking about it, it was when Yuwen Rui dispersed and changed her clothes and rushed over. Jing Yan even suspected that Yu Wenrui was doing it on purpose.

But in this matter, the two of them have never communicated at all, so how can they say "deliberately"?

Jing Yan actually knew very well in her heart, because the appearance of Yu Wenrui could make her feel down-to-earth and make her feel that she was not living alone in this deserted forbidden palace. The heat exuded by Yu Wenrui can be felt from a distance, a few zhang or dozens of zhang away.

Jing Yan didn't know if this was a tacit understanding.

And the most surprising thing about her is that since the two argued that day, Yu Wenrui really didn't bother her anymore, as if she was really obediently "quietly alone". However, those casual considerations, those meals that are deliberately prepared with care, and there is still a daily use...... Even the newly planted flowers and newly raised small animals outside the Kuntai Palace all made Jing Yan's heart soften into cotton.

Just like the young white rabbit bouncing in the garden outside Kuntai Palace, when Jing Yan hugged it, he could clearly hear that little heart beating eagerly and enthusiastically. She knew that this was like Yu Wenrui cared about her mood, and it was also eager and enthusiastic......

In recent days, the biggest event in the Great Zhou is the death of the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager is known as a hero, she has gone through the Great Three Dynasties, and can be described as a generation of heroines who saved the Great Zhou Dynasty in danger. Therefore, her death has a lot of repercussions among the people, and the people even set up sacrifices to worship her.

For the royal magnates, the only ones who can make the people revere and miss from the bottom of their hearts are Emperor Gaozu and the current Empress Dowager.

Now that Beizheng has been destroyed, the country is unified, there is no war between the north and the south, and the life of the people is getting better and better.

Seeing that a generation of prosperity is approaching, the grief of the death of the Empress Dowager has also been diluted. From the ministers to the people, they are all looking forward to the good days of prosperity and peace!

There have been no major events in Beijing for a long time, if it is not to say that there is something, it is worth mentioning that only the relocation of the Beizheng relics has arrived.

Yin He and Wu Bin finally lived up to the trust, and returned to the Great Zhou with more than 100,000 horses, and they had their own rewards and did not mention it, only saying that the emperor had divided an area for the Yang family's relics to build a mansion. The hundred officials watched coldly, no matter what honorable position the Yang clan was given, the mansion was in this area, and they all nodded secretly: This is the meaning of easy monitoring!

The people of the Yang clan are also keeping to themselves, and it seems that when they arrived in the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty, they all forgot how domineering they used to be, and they all learned to clamp their tails and be people.

One day, when the dynasty was about to disperse, the household department played a song, saying that "the lord of Bac Ninh County submits a letter to His Majesty".

Yu Wenrui was stunned when he heard it at first, and he was still wondering which one was the "Lord of Beining"? Looking at the household again, I suddenly realized: Yang Xi!

This must be because Yang Xi has no other way, so he entrusted the person in the household department who presided over the construction of the mansion to submit a letter.

"What's the matter with her?" Yu Wenrui didn't look at the letter that Wei Shun received, and was shocked to understand Yang Xi's intentions for her outside Wuyuan City, which made her feel upset when she thought about it.

The household department didn't know what the lord of Bac Ninh had written, but since the emperor asked, it was not good to be speechless, right? He was stunned, and said, "Probably to thank Your Majesty for the grace of the house!" ”

"I see." Yu Wenrui faintly. She threw the letter aside, and did not open it. 166 Reading Network
