Chapter 49: Ah Yue returns
Zhao Yinggang was just about to step into the main hall when he saw the figures of Jiang Taifu and Jiang Junyao, and he frowned. Is this called urgency? Sure enough, it is still related to the posterior. Thinking of this, he was even more reluctant to go in. He immediately retracted his feet and hurriedly turned in the direction of the imperial study.
The eunuch who was about to report was also stunned, this shouldn't need to be reported.
Zhang Kai followed Zhao Yinggang into the imperial study, and when he saw the emperor panting, he hurriedly poured him a cup of tea: "Your Majesty, why don't you go again?" Mrs. Jiang has been waiting for a long time. ”
Zhao Yinggang pressed his temples with a headache: "Go and tell Mrs. Jiang, I haven't dealt with it yet, and I'll discuss it later." ”
"This ......" Zhang Kai wanted to persuade two more sentences, but Zhao Yinggang had already buried his head and watched the twists and turns seriously. Zhang Kai had no choice but to respond and rushed to the main hall to report.
Hearing Zhang Kai's words, Jiang Junyao, who was originally full of expectations, was not good, and pulled Mrs. Jiang's sleeve.
Mrs. Jiang had to smile awkwardly, and then said, "The emperor is in the imperial study now, right?" He can also listen to what we have to say. ”
After speaking, he touched his beard and laughed a few times: "The emperor can be so diligent, which is also a blessing for the people of Li." Let's go, let's go see the emperor. ”
"Yes." Hearing that he could go to see Zhao Yinggang, Jiang Junyao immediately responded sweetly.
A few days ago, Zhao Yinggang shirked and said that he wanted to discuss it with his father, but now that his father and she are here, they can discuss anything. Now, she can finally settle the matter of her establishment as soon as possible.
She likes Zhao Yinggang, and as early as that concubine selection ceremony, she secretly promised him. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been cheeky to do that shameful thing later. It's just that I didn't expect that the prince was so cunning that he would "steal the dragon and turn the phoenix", otherwise, she would have been Zhao Yinggang's woman a long time ago.
So when he put forward the conditions, she didn't think about how embarrassing her identity as the crown princess was, and only knew that she wanted to help him. Even if she betrayed the crown prince, who was her husband at the time, she would not hesitate to do so! As it turned out, she was right! Zhao Yinggang really has the strength to be an emperor, and he can reverse the disadvantage again and again. In addition, others are not only handsome, but also both civil and military, and they are not abusive. Now with such an identity, there is no one in the harem.
How can such a peerless good man not make people excited?
"Then let the slave go and report it." Zhang Kai remembered Zhao Yinggang's expression before, obviously he didn't want to see these two people, if he took them over rashly, if the emperor was in a bad mood and used him to open the knife, he would have to take a beating.
Without waiting for Mrs. Jiang to respond, Zhang Kaisa opened his legs and ran to the imperial study.
"Your Majesty, Mrs. Jiang and they insist on seeing you, and they should already be on their way to the imperial study by now." Zhang Kai wiped the sweat from his forehead, and saw that the emperor's face really collapsed. I sighed in my heart that I was lucky to look at my face, otherwise it would be over.
Zhao Yinggang put down the fold, walked around the table, and then slapped the table: "When they come, you will say that you are tired, and you will go to the imperial garden to enjoy the flowers." After speaking, he hurriedly hid in the inner room of the imperial study.
Zhang Kai couldn't cry or laugh, Your Majesty, what kind of errand are you giving!?
Not long after Zhao Yinggang hid in, he heard Mrs. Jiang's voice: "Emperor Jin'an, the old minister has come to chatter." With that, he pushed open the door of the imperial study and entered inside.
Mrs. Jiang looked around and frowned, "What about the emperor?" ”
Zhang Kai's forehead was full of cold sweat: "When the slave came back, the emperor had just gone out, saying that he was a little tired after watching the music for a long time today, so he went to the imperial garden to relax." The minions thought that Mrs. Jiang and Miss Jiang were coming, so they stayed here and waited to inform you. ”
Zhao Yinggang, who was hiding in the shadows, not only admired Zhang Kai's kung fu of opening his eyes and telling nonsense.
Mrs. Jiang didn't speak for a long time, looked at Zhang Kai for a long time, and saw that cold sweat broke out on Zhang Kai's back.
Jiang Junyao stomped his feet: "Really, I'm going to look for him in the Imperial Garden." With that, she turned around and ran out.
Mrs. Jiang had no choice but to shake his head: "It seems that I won't see the emperor today, so the old minister will take Yaoyao back to the house first, please take care of the emperor's body." ”
Jiang Taifu's last sentence was said to Zhao Yinggang who was hiding in the shadows. It's still said to Zhang Kai in front of him.
Zhao Yinggang frowned, that Jiang Taifu was really an old fox, and Bacheng had already known that he was still in the imperial study.
After the people left, Zhang Kai breathed a sigh of relief, and then shouted in the direction where Zhao Yinggang was hiding: "Your Majesty, it's okay, you can come out." ”
Zhao Yinggang sat back in his seat and flipped through the folds. I wasted an afternoon today, and I had to stay up late to criticize and fold.
As for Mrs. Jiang's affairs, it seems that he has to find another way to deal with it. This young emperor, at this moment, shows a natural kingly demeanor.

Imperial Palace.
Emperor Yan, who had been suffering from a fever for many days, had not improved until today.
Cheng Tianxing just sneaked out of the palace for a few days, but when he came back, he was injured, which made the Queen Mother extremely shocked! Under the repeated questioning of the Queen Mother, the fourth child said where they went.
There is no need for Xiao Si to finish speaking, the Queen Mother also knows that Cheng Tianxing is going to find Yang Haolong. It's just a sin! That Yang Haolong is the nemesis of Cheng Tianxing! Even if Yang Haolong treated Cheng Tianxing's legs before, but now, no matter how much kindness he has, it should be over!
Originally, Cheng Tianxing's injury was not very serious, and it could be healed in a few days of recuperation. It's a pity that he is depressed, so he has not recovered for a long time. Coupled with the constant high fever, it has only dragged on for more than a month.
Now, I finally came to my senses today, and I am almost recovered. As a result, as soon as he woke up, he shouted: "Little four! What about people? ”
Xiao Si was shocked in his heart, he knew too well who the person who Cheng Tianxing was shouting. Now he can't hide it even if he wants to. Xiao Si looked at the Queen Mother with some distress eyes.
How can the Queen Mother not know the reason? He immediately stepped forward, held Cheng Tianxing's hand, and said softly: "Okay, your illness has just appeared, take care of your injuries first, and don't worry about other things for the time being." ”
Seeing that Xiao Si did not respond, Cheng Tianxing obviously knew the result. Thinking that he had already caught Long'er that day, he let him run away again. At that moment, he couldn't help but be furious: "Little four! Go to the torture chamber and get the punishment yourself! ”
Xiao Si's body stiffened, but he didn't dare to intercede for himself: "Subordinates take orders." ”
Watching Xiao Si leave, the Queen Mother couldn't help but sigh: "Okay, why are you bothering?" If it weren't for Xiao Si to send you back in time, I don't know what would happen. ”
"But he's lost people! Queen mother! Cheng Tianxing's face was pale, and he felt another heartache when he thought that the dragon that should have been by his side was now gone.
"Yang Haolong, Yang Haolong! Do you have nothing in your heart but that man? The Queen Mother was also annoyed, "Don't forget!" No matter how much you love him, he's just a man! Could it be that you still want to welcome him into the palace? ”
"Did the queen mother forget that the widow had already started raising male pets in the palace?" Cheng Tianxing sneered.
The Queen Mother's face turned blue. Just for that Yang Haolong, he actually changed his preference to love men? even disregarded etiquette, righteousness and shame, and openly raised male pets in the harem.
Chilling! In addition to the chill or the chill! "Okay! Yang Haolong is a man! If he's a woman, forget it. Even if it's someone from an enemy country, as long as you like it, you can put it in the harem, and the mourning family won't care! But he's ......."
"Enough!" Cheng Tianxing interrupted the Queen Mother's words.
Everyone told him that because the person he loved was a man, he couldn't love it, he couldn't have it. He has had enough of these remarks!
Dragon, why should his dragon be a man? If he had been a woman, he would have been generous with him! Thinking of this, Cheng Tianxing is even more sad.
He unconsciously touched the wound of the sword. He smiled wryly, his dragon had always been so ruthless. was able to stab him without hesitation, without saying anything about it. But it doesn't matter, since he fell in love first, he has to pay a price. It's just that......
Cheng Tianxing lay back on the bed. Long'er, you can escape once, and you can escape the second time, the third time? One day, you will fall into the hands of a widow! Then be prepared to endure the wrath of the widow! And that deep longing......
If, he personally went to Zhao State to arrest people before, and he couldn't bring people back. This time, he wants Long'er to come to the dynasty himself!
Cheng Tianxing's eyes darkened, and he already had a plan in his heart.
≈≈≈≈
"Your Majesty, Princess Yuehua hasn't eaten for many days." Zhang Kai was entangled for a long time before he told Zhao Yinggang when he reviewed the folds.
Sure enough, Zhao Yinggang frowned: "Did you tell the Queen Mother about this?" ”
"The Queen Mother already knows, but she is helpless against Princess Yuehua." Otherwise, where would he dare to disturb Zhao Yinggang?
Since Yang Haolong's wedding, Princess Yuehua has been locked in the palace and has not seen anyone. Now, even more have begun to go on a hunger strike? What exactly does she want to do? Could it be that he still wants to threaten Yang Haolong with a hunger strike, so that Yang Haolong can't marry her?
Zhao Yinggang slammed and put the fold on the table. "Prepare the car!"
Seeing Princess Yuehua again, Zhao Yinggang wanted to scold the words, but swallowed them back raw. Is that still the beautiful Princess Yuehua from before?
His face was pale, his hair was disheveled, and the clothes he wore were full of dirt. A dignified princess of Zhao Kingdom, she turned into this appearance?
Long Yan was furious, and Zhao Yinggang scolded angrily: "Drag all the minions who serve the princess out to fight 20 boards!" ”
"The emperor spares his life!" For a moment, the princess's palace begged for mercy.
"Yuehua! Who are you going to show this ghostly look for? Zhao Yinggang was furious, and lifted Princess Yuehua up.
"Brother Huang?" Princess Yuehua seemed to recognize the person in front of her, and then she shook her head again, "No, you can't call the emperor now, you have to call the emperor." ”
"Yuehua! He's married, he's got a wife! He seemed to be yelling at her, but he was actually mocking himself. Look! Yang Haolong has already married a wife, but their brother and sister are still here to die or live for that person, which is simply ridiculous and generous!
"I know!" Princess Yuehua cried bitterly, she grabbed Zhao Yinggang's hand and whimpered: "But I don't mind making a side room!" As long as I can marry him, I really won't care about these titles! But why didn't he even give me this opportunity? ”
"It's not promising!" Zhao Yinggang smashed Princess Yuehua away. is scolding her, but she is also scolding herself.
Yes, their brother and sister are really unproductive! Everyone has made it clear that they will only love one person named Xu Wu in this life, but they still have to fall into it.
Before, before he became the emperor, he had not allowed Princess Yuehua to marry Yang Haolong. Now that he is in power, he will not let his sister marry him.
"I'll help you choose a colt myself after a while, and you don't have to die or live for a man again." Today's Zhao Yinggang is like a ruthless emperor, without considering his sister's feelings at all.
"Nope! I'm not married! I will marry no one but him! Princess Yuehua shouted.
"But he can't marry you in his life!" Zhao Yinggang ruthlessly cut off all the delusions of Princess Yuehua.
"Someone! I'm all optimistic about the princess! Let the princess be so depressed again, and all of you will fall to the ground! As if thinking of something, Zhao Yinggang added, "If the princess doesn't eat again, she will pour it into me!" ”
It's no longer the tenderness that my brother used to love and care for my sister. Zhao Yinggang, who has become an emperor, is so ruthless? Princess Yuehua sat down on the ground, as if she couldn't believe that the royal brother who loved her would do this to her.
Zhao Yinggang left the princess hall in a distraught.
Originally, he had been annoyed by the matter of the queen, but now that Princess Yuehua is here again, do they think he has nothing to do?
However, then again, isn't this Mrs. Jiang's power a little bigger? It's time for a second party to emerge to suppress it. This is a great opportunity to choose a colt! Zhao Yinggang's light flashed.
Since when did he not consider the feelings of his relatives and marry only to stabilize the imperial power? Perhaps, Zhao Yinggang, who is gradually changing, does not realize this.
Zhao Yinggang returned to the imperial study, stroked the four treasures of the study on the table, and said to Zhang Kai with a thought: "I remember that there is still a set of four treasures in the treasury, which are tributes from other small countries a few years ago?" ”
"Back to the emperor, there is. The four treasures of the study room are very valuable, and the emperor likes it very much, and he is reluctant to use it. Zhang Kai replied.
"That's right! That's what I'm talking about. Take it out and send it to the Prime Minister's Mansion. Finally found a decent gift for Yang Haolong, Zhao Yinggang smiled.
Zhang Kai was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, that is a tribute, and it is worth a lot of money......
"Bold! When will it be your turn as a little eunuch to take care of my business? "He just wants to give a gift to Long'er, can't he do that?
"The minions don't dare." Zhang Kai hurriedly knelt down. It's dangerous! Even if he is the most popular eunuch around the emperor, he should not be so presumptuous. The so-called companion is like a tiger, and he must be more careful in the future.
Now, Zhao Yinggang's mood is better. Suddenly, he thought of something again, and said excitedly: "Also, when I had my birthday before, didn't someone give me good tea?" Let's send the tea to the Prime Minister's Mansion as well. ”
Zhang Kai couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. He knew what Zhao Yinggang was talking about, so he was even more surprised. At that time, Zhao Yinggang himself was reluctant to drink, but now he wants to give it away without even blinking?
"By the way, let's send the silk that was paid tribute before. The weather is getting colder, and the dragon needs to buy some new clothes. Zhao Yinggang said to himself, not noticing at all that he was almost going to move all these good things to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Zhang Kai couldn't help but burst into tears, is this the rhythm of moving the entire palace to the Prime Minister's Mansion?
≈≈≈≈
"10 batches of high-quality cloth, 10 catties of high-quality Longjing tea, and a pair of high-quality jade Ruyi......" As the eunuchs shouted one by one in a sharp voice, when those minions entered the Prime Minister's Mansion, Yang Haolong couldn't help but support his forehead.
"Father-in-law Zhang, what does the emperor mean by this?" The so-called reactive power is not punished. is good, but the Prime Minister's Mansion has inexplicably accepted so many imperial tributes. At first glance, I thought it was a dowry.
Zhang Kai smiled embarrassedly, if only he knew what the emperor was thinking! "The emperor is sympathetic to the dragon's hard work, so he specially gives these."
Even if the daughter of a large family marries, these things are really thick enough as a dowry, not to mention that she accepts them for no reason? Yang Haolong felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, feeling that these things were like a deed of sale, which was her reward for staying in Zhao State to assist the king.
It was also the first time for Xu Wu to see so many high-grade tributes, and she was dumbfounded for a while. She tugged at the corner of Yang Haolong's clothes and whispered: "Xianggong, the emperor seems to have moved the entire palace to the Prime Minister's Mansion." ”
Yang Haolong couldn't help frowning. Isn't it? In the Prime Minister's Mansion, Zhao Yinggang's eyeliner is everywhere, and now even these tributes that only the emperor can use have moved to her. How? Does Zhao Yinggang plan to live here?
Because of Zhao Yinggang's move, it set off a storm in the capital, and those rich wives who had nothing to do gathered together to gossip. And the power of gossip is powerful......
"Long is really the favorite of the Son of Heaven! The things that the emperor himself was reluctant to use, even sent them to the Prime Minister's Mansion without blinking an eye. ”
"I've heard people! The dragons used are all first-hand goods, and even the emperor himself uses them second-hand. ”
"I saw it too! There's a lot of stuff in a room that can't fit in! ”
"Cut! You think these things are for dragons? That's just the open side, the person who actually gave it was Mrs. Yang! ”
"I've heard about it too! On that day, the emperor of the six princes broke into the wedding and almost kidnapped the bride. ”
"No, I heard another one, saying that the sixth prince at that time had already given Mrs. Yang who had not yet passed the door to that thing."
"Shhhh
In this way, the news that the new King Zhao coveted the wives of his courtiers spread all over the streets and alleys. Yang Haolong is a favorite minister of the Son of Heaven, but everyone "knows" the actual situation. Where is the emperor's favorite dragon phase? It's that Mrs. Yang at all, the red face and disaster Xu Wu who captivated the country and the city!
Ah Yue, who has returned to the capital, naturally heard these public opinions. At the moment, he was even more anxious, wanting to rush to them.
If the emperor wants to take it by force, Yang Haolong is just a prime minister, how can he defeat the imperial power? Maybe it was the kind-hearted Xu Wu who voluntarily entered the palace as a concubine for Yang Haolong?
Thinking of this, Ah Yue walked like a fly.
Until he stepped into the doorrail of the Prime Minister's Mansion, his feet were as heavy as chains, and it was difficult to lift them.
"Bold! Who are you? How dare you trespass into the Prime Minister's Mansion? A group of guards appeared out of nowhere and surrounded Ah Yue.
Ah Yue's eyes darkened, he didn't even know that he was the guard next to Yang Haolong, these people were obviously not from the Yang family. Could it be that the entire Prime Minister's Mansion has been monitored? And the person behind the curtain thinks that it is the saint today!
Most importantly, the guards did not stand guard at the door, but waited for him to cross the door before surrounding him. With such stamina, to be able to stay in the same place all day long, just to "protect" the Prime Minister's Mansion? He apparently didn't believe it!
Thinking of the rumors he heard outside, Ah Yue's heart was even more anxious. Simply, he didn't even answer, but directly jumped into it and rushed in with light skills.
The guards couldn't help but be shocked. They were ordered to protect the Prime Minister's Mansion, and now they let a big living person in. If the emperor knows, can they still have a life?
At that moment, the guards couldn't help but be anxious, and shouted: "There are assassins!" Protect the Prime Minister and the Prime Minister's wife! ”
Xu Wu, who was grinding ink for Yang Haolong in the room, and Yang Haolong, who was writing hard, obviously also heard it. At this juncture, who is so bold to break into the Prime Minister's Mansion in broad daylight?
Yang Haolong's eyes lit up, and the answer was about to come out! "Sister-in-law, let's get out quickly!"
Yang Haolong didn't wait for Xu Wu to react, and ran out by himself. When the servants outside saw Yang Haolong come out, they were so frightened that their souls were gone: "Long Xiang, it's not safe outside now, go back to your room quickly." ”
Yang Haolong turned a deaf ear, just shouted at the top of his voice: "Ah Yue! Is that you? ”
It didn't take long for Ah Yue to rush to Yang Haolong. Seeing someone he hadn't seen for so long, Yang Haolong was full of emotion for a while.
"Be careful!" Those guards saw that they had arrived in front of Yang Haolong at this moment, and their souls were almost gone.
"Stand down, all of you! He's the bodyguard of his own image! Yang Haolong gave a cold look and made those guards stop.
"You all have to remember it clearly! Ah Yue is a true person, don't be an assassin next time! Yang Haolong was very dissatisfied.
The guards couldn't help but feel extremely aggrieved. The man named Ah Yue refused to even speak, how did they know his identity? But on the face, he could only respond: "The subordinates obey the order." ”
"Brother Yue! Is it really you? Xu Wu also ran out, and at a glance saw Ah Yue, who she hadn't seen for many days.
When Ah Yue saw Xu Wu, who was already the prime minister's wife, he couldn't help but have mixed feelings, and wanted to open his mouth many times but swallowed it back. In the end, it only turned into one sentence: "My subordinates have seen Mrs." ”
Xu Wu was stunned, she was almost stupid, and she didn't know how to respond to Ah Yue. Seeing this scene, Yang Haolong could only shake his head. What a sin!
"Ah Yue, you still call your sister-in-law together like your own appearance, we are all a family." A sentence of "Mrs." will pull away the identities of the two, how can this make people embarrassed?
Ah Yue smiled bitterly: "The subordinates don't dare to skip the ranks." ”
Well, she can't force this kind of thing. At the moment, Yang Haolong could only say: "Let's have a good meal for the three of us today, and we should wash the dust as Ah Yue." ”
Today's Prime Minister's Mansion is full of Zhao Yinggang's people, and Ah Yue's return has relieved Yang Haolong half.
Within an hour, Zhao Yinggang already knew about Ah Yue's return.
That Ah Yue is strong in martial arts, and he is loyal to Yang Haolong. Originally, he was very relieved to have such a person by Yang Haolong's side to protect him. But it was because Ah Yue was too loyal that he was worried!
Zhao Yinggang didn't forget that Ah Yue was a slave that Yang Haolong bought back in Yangzhou. At that time, he fought with Li Dingqing for the sake of Ah Yue, and threatened that Ah Yue was his person. Since he can like Long'er, will that Ah Yue also like Long'er?
Thinking of this, he has a headache! Why are there so many rivals in his love?
"Your Majesty, there is an urgent report." Zhang Kai submitted the urgent report he had just sent to Zhao Yinggang.
Zhao Yinggang glanced at it, frowned, and said, "Emperor Yan's letter? Okay, what did he write to do? ”
Curious, Zhao Yinggang opened the envelope. After he read the letter, he couldn't help laughing: "Good, good! Very good! Emperor Yan's letter came at the right time! ”
Zhang Kai didn't know, what kind of content would make this emperor who was always sad smile?
"Zhang Kai, do you know what Emperor Yan is doing this letter?" Zhao Yinggang asked with a smile.
"Minions are stupid." Where does Zhang Kai dare to guess this kind of thing?
"It's a marriage! Emperor Yan wants to marry our Zhao Kingdom! Zhao Yinggang was overjoyed, "Emperor Yan took a fancy to that Xu Wu and wanted Xu Wu to be a friend!" ”
Hearing this, Zhang Kai was so frightened! Isn't that right? Isn't it rumored that Zhao Yinggang loves that Xu Wu so much that she loves her to death? How could she be so happy to hear that Xu Wu was asked to kiss?
