Outside the window, there was a faint sound of palace music, which looked more ethereal and clear in the shadows of the trees, but there was no sound in the Xuande Palace, which made the atmosphere more and more embarrassing. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Tonight, Yunyang came to Yangde Palace to find Zhao Yuan. In fact, Zhao Yuan was very happy in his heart, but he didn't want to show it in front of Yunyang, so Cheng Xin looked at her with shame and stood in front of him nervously.

Yunyang stood for a while, and saw that Zhao Yuan was only looking at the battle map in his hand, and he didn't speak, let alone look at her. Yunyang felt desolate in his heart.

She sighed, her eye sockets were sour, and after curtsiasting, she whispered: "The emperor is busy with political affairs, and the concubine came at an inopportune time, so she retired." ”

Zhao Yuan was shocked when he heard that there was a faint frustration in Yunyang's tone. He put down the map in his hand, and when he looked up at Yunyang's gloomy cheeks that were almost about to cry, he was a little at a loss. He called out hoarsely: "Ai Concubine......"

Before he could say the following words, he heard a eunuch report: "The privy envoy Cheng Cheng is credible and asks to see him!" Then there was the sound of footsteps outside the hall.

Cheng Xin and Zhao Yuan met as a teenager and lived and died together for more than ten years. The relationship between the two is naturally closer than others, so Zhao Yuan is especially kind to Cheng Xin to walk freely in the Xuande Palace.

Yun Yang also heard the footsteps outside the hall getting closer and closer, and thought to himself that it would be inappropriate for the privy envoy to see his dejected expression. So her steps tightened, and she wanted to leave quickly.

When Zhao Yuan saw her appearance, he felt more and more guilty in his heart: "It was just a joke, but I didn't expect it to cause Concubine Ai to be sad for no reason, if she leaves like this tonight, both of us will be sad all night." ”

So Zhao Yuanteng stood up, took a brand-new gown from the mahogany gold wire hanger next to him and draped it on his body, and then jumped on tiptoe and came to Yunyang.

Without saying a word, he took Yunyang in his arms, and then jumped back onto the couch. This gown is a dark silk robe, which Zhao Yuan wore when he sacrificed to heaven and earth, it was very wide, and Zhao Yuan wrapped Yunyang in a robe on his chest, and he couldn't see it if he didn't look closely.

Yunyang didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Zhao Yuan's gourd, and he was hugged in his arms, feeling a little indignant in his heart, and secretly thought to himself: "What does this mean?" I love to ignore it for a while, and I hold on to it for a while, even if the emperor can't be so capricious, right? ”

The more he thought about Yun Yang, the more angry he became, and he opened his lips lightly and bit Zhao Yuan's chest, although Yun Yang did not have much strength, but this bite was full of resentment, although Zhao Yuan did not show it on his face, but it also made him grit his teeth secretly in pain.

At this time, Cheng Xin had already come to the front of the Xuande Palace, and as soon as he entered the hall, he was stopped by Zhao Yuan: "Cheng Aiqing is standing here and replying." ”

Cheng Xinxin immediately stopped, then knelt down and said: "The minister went to the household department today to check, the suspension of the construction of the Lin'an Summer Palace can save three million taels of silver, and the suspension of the construction of His Majesty's underground palace can save two million and a half million taels of silver. ”

Zhao Yuan nodded and said in a deep voice: "This matter is very good. ”

Cheng Xin hesitated for a moment, but still said: "It's just that Your Majesty's underground palace has opened up the dragon vein, and it is about to divert water, and the construction is stopped at this time, which is afraid that the dragon vein will dry up, which is not good for the community." ”

Zhao Yuan's eyes diffused a faint chill: "This is not the first time you have mentioned this matter. My attitude is the same as always. I never believed in divination of feng shui. Therefore, the construction of the underground palace was stopped first, and the construction began when the treasury was full. ”

Cheng Xin had no choice but to reply: "The minister obeys the order." Then he said: "Your Majesty, this time you sent troops to southern Xinjiang, do you want Liwei General Sun Chushan to be the generalissimo of the navy?" ”

"Sun Chushan has led the troops for many years, he is vigorous and resolute, he is the best at water warfare, he is the marshal of the sailors, what does Cheng Aiqing think is not suitable?" Zhao Yuan's voice couldn't hear any emotion, but his hand subconsciously tightened Yunyang's tightening.

Yun Yang put his head on Zhao Yuan's chest, feeling the hidden vigilance behind Zhao Yuan's action. Yun Yang thought to himself, isn't Lord Cheng the emperor's most trusted minister? Why did the emperor react so strongly to his words?

Cheng Xin didn't know anything about this, and continued: "I heard that when Sun Chushan was the assassin envoy of Baicheng, he had levied taxes and harassed the people in the local area, causing many ministers to join him, such a person became the commander of the sailors, can you rest assured?" ”

Zhao Yuan's expression was still unfathomable: "This incident happened many years ago, and besides, I went to Baicheng in person, Baicheng was calm, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and there was no situation where 'the people are bored and complaining' as stated in the chapter." In addition, the merchants in the city were not subject to border tariffs, and the morale of the army in the camp was stable, and there was no outpouring of public feelings. ”

Cheng Xin listened and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty Shengming." But after saying this, he added another sentence a little unwillingly: "If you talk about the marshal of the sailors, Weichen thinks that Cheng Ye, who has been guarding Ningyuan Mansion, is more suitable, young and promising, down-to-earth and hardworking, and the most important thing is to be as loyal to the emperor as Weichen." ”

Zhao Yuan hummed quietly. Yun Yang felt his body stiffen involuntarily, and Yun Yang's heart tightened: "The emperor is already very tired." ”

Yunyang put his hand around Zhao Yuan's waist and caressed his broad back, hoping that he would calm and relax.

The corners of Zhao Yuan's lips were slightly raised.

Yunyang buried his head in Zhao Yuan's arms, and thought to himself: "Although I am not familiar with Lord Cheng usually, as the highest-ranking military general of the Great Qi State, it is really disappointing to say such things today. ”

"He had neither an analysis of the battle situation nor an inference of the marshal's ability, he just wanted to slander Sun Chushan from some trivial matters, but he couldn't come up with evidence that he was not suitable for the marshal of the sailors, and then he couldn't wait to recommend another person surnamed Cheng to replace Sun Chushan, and at the same time he didn't say where this person's excellence was."

It can be seen that this Lord Cheng is really as rumored in the streets, and he has only come to this point by relying on his friendship with the emperor. In this way, it is not surprising that the emperor acted just now, maybe because he cares, so he will become more and more disappointed, and his reaction will be so strong. ”

Cheng Xin saw that the emperor did not give him a word, and he was a little unrelenting, and wanted to speak again, but was blocked by Zhao Yuan: "Even if you want to send troops, Cheng Aiqing should also think about how to protect and transport grain and grass to ensure that the army is unimpeded." As for the deployment of troops, I have my own plans for arranging the army. ”

"It's the minister who is abrupt, please forgive the emperor." Cheng Xinxin's face turned blue. Zhao Yuan thought of the old affection and rarely talked to him like this, so Cheng Xin was indeed a little bottomless at this time.

Zhao Yuan saw that his expression had changed, so he waved his hand and said coldly: "Cheng Aiqing will quickly finish the matter of grain and grass, if there is a business trip, I will deal with it by military law." ”

Cheng Xin's body was shocked, and he didn't dare to raise his head and said, "Yes, yes, the minister obeys the order." ”
