The first year of Jiakang, June 23.

Biandu is still the style of the old times, the ancient buildings of the long street are near the river with willows, the willows on one bank are green and red, and the streets are full of paper and ink and tea fragrance.

Just after noon, two men came from a time-honored teahouse on the street, dressed in gorgeous clothes and horses, and they looked like honorable people.

Xiao Er glanced at Bu Xihuan several times, and couldn't think of any family in Biandu City who had this elegance, until he brought the horse into his hands, he suddenly realized that these two people came here on horseback, and they didn't think they were from Biandu.

Today is the day when the emperor and queen return to the palace, this long street is the only way to drive Luan, a few days ago, the private room on the street was ordered by the sons and nobles of the scholar clan, these two came from afar, and they wanted to come for the same thing.

Xiao Er tied up the horse and courteously invited Bu Xihuan and Dui Qing into the teahouse. The lobby is almost full, there is no food on the table, only poetry and painting tea, the original storytelling place has become a lecture platform, and a student in a green shirt is discussing national affairs.

“…… The system of emblems, throughout ancient and modern times, can only be used two words, but today's saint has given the queen the name of 'Yingrui', which is inevitably suspected of overstepping the system. The saint changed the name of the year to Jiakang, the good and beautiful auspicious celebration is Jia, the peace and abundance are healthy, at first glance it is the wish of auspiciousness, but the fine product is intriguing, because the word Jia has the meaning of Jia, the saint is only afraid that there is a heart to pray for the health of Her Royal Highness the Queen on the grounds of the year. The deep love of the emperor and queen has nothing to do with state affairs, but too deep love may not be the blessing of the society. There are lessons from Concubine Rong and Empress Li of the previous dynasty, and the harm of exclusive favors has to be worried. ”

Xiao Er led Bu Xihuan and Dusk Qing in, and when he heard this, he pouted on his face, and his heart was speechless.

Now that the saint drove back to the palace, the students' words became sharper and sharper.

The matter of the queen's mother's emblem, the emperor has long said it clearly - the emblem is the name of reverence and praise, the virtue of the queen, it is difficult to praise a word, so it is on the double number.

The saint is open-minded, and the students are allowed to discuss politics, but there are many students in the world, and there are always some people who are not right-minded.

Xiao Er took a sip in his heart, did not forget to smile on his face, and said to the two nobles behind him: "The two sons, I'm really sorry, the private room is full, and there happens to be a vacant seat upstairs, looking at the embankment from the window, and the two sons are satisfied!" ”

"It's windy near the window, so let's go over there." Bu Xihuan looked at an empty table in the corner of the lobby, and walked over to Twilight as he spoke.

Xiao Er was stunned, he thought that these two were coming for the Holy Drive, so he recommended a seat near the window, but he didn't expect them to stay in the lobby. In the corner of the place, Luan Jia walked 800 times outside the teahouse, and they couldn't see it.

Could it be that these two didn't come here for the Holy Driver at all, but to listen to the students' political discussions?

Yo! That...... Isn't that looking for scolding?

The poor students hated the children of the scholar clan, and the two of them sat swaggering in the lobby, afraid that they would not hear anything good.

Xiao Er muttered in his heart, but he put a pot of tea on the table, accompanied by two plates of melons and fruits.

Bu Xihuan poured tea from the pot and said slowly: "I heard that the teahouse in Biandu has been very lively recently, and I wanted to take Brother Zhou to see it, but I didn't expect to hear the useless words of a ear as soon as I entered the door, which was really disappointing, and I hope that Brother Zhou will not mind." ”

Hiss!

Xiao Er took a cool breath and glanced at the lobby.

The lobby was already quiet, Twilight Qing was not amazing, but Bu Xihuan's extravagance was too eye-catching, as soon as he entered the teahouse, the students on the storytelling platform stopped, and a heated debate stopped.

Hearing Bu Xihuan's words, the students frowned, and the place where the dance and writing were inked suddenly surged with martial arts.

A crisp sound broke the deadlock, Dusk Qing crushed a melon and fruit shell, peeled out Ren'er and put it in the tea tray, took another one and peeled it, and seemed to be a little lazy with Bu Xihuan, but his voice was very cold, "People are here, why bother?" ”

At first glance, many people don't understand this.

Twilight turned her head to look at the students in the green shirt and asked, "Let me ask you, has the matter of the emblem and the national name touched the silver of the treasury?" ”

The Tsing Yi student didn't know what this question meant, and replied in a deep voice: "No." ”

"That has taxed Tian Ding?"

“…… Nor did it. ”

"I didn't touch the silver of the treasury, nor did I levy anyone's rice and grain, the saint is happy, praises his mother-in-law, and does the bottom business?"

“……”

Burst!

Bu Xihuan was about to taste tea, his hand shook, and the tea spilled, almost burning himself. He glared at Twilight Qing angrily, it was a relieving remark, how could she be so awkward!

The teahouse was so quiet that it could be heard, and even the private room was silent, and in the open and secret, the eyes of countless tea customers fell on Twilight, and they couldn't see clearly what the identity of this unremarkable young man was, and he dared to offend the queen in public.

Twilight let go, and a handful of peeled nuts jumped into the tea tray, crackling and crisp like a slap. She pushed the tea tray in front of Bu Xihuan, clapped her hands and got up, "I'm hungry, I'll go to Fu Ji to bring a few buns, you can listen to yourself first." Don't worry about drinking tea, eat something to cushion your stomach first. ”

With that, she put away her snow sleeves and walked away.

The face of the Qingyi student turned blue and red for a while, and when he saw that the person was gone, he could only say to Bu Xihuan: "This brother, that Brother Zhou's words are forgiven, and I can't agree with it!" The Holy One once said, 'If you are not righteous, how can you teach the people?' 'When the Son of Heaven transgressed the system, how could he make the hundred officials abide by the system? Although the deep love of the emperor and queen is a good story for the ages, there is a loss of half of the country in the past, and there is a more than the emblem of the year. Throughout history, why do you need to list the harms of harem favorites? Don't go to the court in advance, just say that in this dynasty, the Holy Grace Quasi-Empress mentioned the world's prison, isn't this the harm of exclusive favor? The harem is favored, women are involved in politics, looking at the previous dynasty, which time is not a sign that the country's fortunes are coming to an end? The Son of Heaven is not a common man, there is no special pet inside, and there is no close habit outside, so he can prosper the country! ”

The students in green shirts raised their arms and shouted, and there was a great meaning of the queen in their words, and the loss of Jiangbei just became a confirmation that the country's fortunes were about to end.

When the students heard this, their faces were solemn.

It cannot be denied that today's situation in the south and north of Yan is because of the queen, but it is also a fact that the queen is filial piety and wisdom, and loves the people like a son. But the harm of petting and interfering in politics is indeed worrying.

For a while, no one said anything to argue, and the atmosphere sank like stagnant water.

Bu Xihuan unhurriedly pinched a peanut, didn't raise his eyes, and said lightly: "Your Excellency said as if there is no special favor in the harem, and if women don't interfere in politics, the fortunes of the country will never decline." ”

The Tsing Yi students didn't know what they meant.

Bu Xihuan said: "The world starts from Zhou, Zhou, Wu, Weiyue, Chu, Jin, Liang Song, Qingxia, Yuanwu, and passes through Beiliang and Xizhao to Daxing. Before Daxing, there were 14 dynasties in the world, among them, Emperor Liang He favored the Rong family, abandoned state affairs, Emperor Wumu was sick and weak, and Empress Li was in charge of foreign relatives. There are only two dynasties in which the harem women have lost the fortunes of the country, and the rest have died due to the tyranny of the Son of Heaven. ”

The Tsing Yi student chuckled in his heart, and vaguely guessed the meaning of Bu Xihuan.

Bu Xihuan asked: "This world is a man's, the tyranny of the Son of Heaven, the endless party strife, the military disasters and bandits, the harsh taxes and the people, which dynasty and which generation of qi is not defeated by the corrupt officials?" Women's disasters to the country are just a few strokes in this long history, and it is not the Son of Heaven and the hundred officials of the past dynasties who often make the people miserable? Your Excellency is familiar with history, and you compare women to monsters who bring disaster to the country and the people, so dare to ask what crime men in the world should be? ”

This statement is bold and sharp, but it is thought-provoking.

The students in the hall were shocked, and some people listened to it with great vigour, like a treasure.

Bu Xihuan asked several questions one after another.

"The concubine is no bigger than the Son of Heaven, Concubine Rong confuses the lord and Empress Li interferes in politics, isn't it the fault of Emperor Liang's mediocrity and Emperor Wu's incompetence?"

"Abandoning Jiangbei is a holy will, why does Your Excellency blame the queen alone, but dare not say anything about the saint's fault?"

"Concubine Rong was born in the palace and served the king. Empress Li is the daughter of the prime minister, who seeks personal gain for herself and forms a party to dictate power. And today's queen has killed Hu Lu and fought horse bandits, protected the people and the sons of the army, and redressed countless grievances for the people. Dare to ask Your Excellency, if the queen is in calamity to the country today, whose daughter can protect the country? If today's queen does not deserve the emblem of 'Yingrui', whose daughter has the virtue of being in the middle palace? ”

The Qingyi student was asked with a red face, and argued: "The queen of Xia Weidao should not be the emblem of 'Yingrui', but she is worried that the saint's exclusive favor of the queen will be harmful to the country." Even if the queen loves the people like a son, who can guarantee that she will mention the world's prisons, and she will not be pampered and arrogant in the future, like Rong Li? The world is unpredictable, people's hearts are difficult to prevent, and the Holy One must take precautions! ”

"It's better to prevent problems before they happen!" Bu Xihuan ate the nuts in the plate, and melted into the chair unhurriedly. He was not annoyed, just glanced at the long street, half of his eyebrows were full of tiredness, and the temperament of the superior who had read the wind and waves made the students in the hall involuntarily hold their breath and listen to the training, "Back then, when Gaozu laid down the great prosperity of the country, he led the army from this street, and the founding ministers at that time were mostly from poor families, and the Zhenguo Gong was illiterate but brave, and the Dingguo Gong was born in the village but had the talent to govern the world, but today, six hundred years later, the people of the poor family have become a wealthy family, and the descendants do not know the people's suffering, so they only form a party for personal gain. It is precisely because the saint values the children of the poor family to understand the sufferings of the people, so that he allows the poor people in the world to discuss politics. But there are many children of the poor family, who dares to assert that you will be a clean official in the future? Who would dare to assert that you will not form a party for personal gain and pervert the law after becoming an official, just like today's nobles? If the world is unpredictable and people's hearts are difficult to prevent, how should the Holy One guard against it? ”

Hiss!

This......

"There will be people in the world who are worried about the country and the people, and there will also be people who are corrupt and pervert the law.

These words are careless, but they are more painful than slaps, and the students in green shirts are flushed and speechless.

"If the Holy One is a man of the old days, how can you talk about the government here? People in the world only say that the queen is favored, but no one can guess the holy will. The emperor and queen are deeply affectionate, and the saint is the one who does not want the queen to mention the world's prisons. The queen is famous all over the world, but she is a woman after all, if she asks politics, she will be impeached by the imperial history! The queen once said: 'All prison affairs are not more important than the great opening, the great opening is not more important than the first love, and the first love is not more important than the test.' Cover the power of life and death, and the opportunity to bend and stretch, so it is decided. 'It's just that the reason why I work in the court is that no one wants to do it, and the old law of butcher autopsy is still used in the yamen, and the case is issued, and the tolerance is far away, so that the headless public case, unjust, false and wrongful cases are piled up! In the eyes of the people, unjust cases are equivalent to the mediocrity of the imperial court, and in the eyes of the innocent and wronged, they are more important than the holy country. But the matter of prison cannot be done by non-specialists, and looking at the world, the current queen is the only one who can take on the heavy responsibility of prison reform. Do you think that the saint is faint before allowing the queen to interfere in politics? This kind of work for the people but will be impeached by the imperial history and criticized by the old-fashioned people in the world, how can the saint be willing to let the queen do it? But the prison reform benefits all the people, the saint can't ignore the people, and the queen also has the wish that the world will be unjust, and the emperor knows that it will cause criticism and is determined to do it. The emperor and queen have this determination, but they are still entangled in matters such as the year name, emblem, and the selection of concubines equals the interests of the people, is it really worthy of it? ”

There was silence in the teahouse, and the students held their breath and hung their heads, their faces were red and red, and they were ashamed, but their faces were agitated.

Listening to your words, it is better to read a book for ten years, and now it is considered to be insightful, there is really such a person in the world, so that people can listen to his words and be empowered!

Although this man is wearing a gorgeous robe, he has no smug spirit, what is his identity? How can you know the queen's words, and how can you guess the holy will so far?

"The Son of Heaven has no special pets inside, and there is no close habit outside, can he really prosper the country? Monarchs and ministers are single-minded, ideological and political for the people, and only then can the country prosper. Bu Xihuan took a sip of tea and frowned.

Xiao Er was dumbfounded, forgot to make hot water, and saw that the first tea was cold, Bu Xihuan frowned and put it down, Xiao Er's heart jumped, and he wanted to change the tea but he didn't dare to take a hand because of Bu Xihuan's noble bearing.

Bu Xihuan glanced at the students in the hall and said casually: "It is the rainy season now, the south of the Yangtze River is waterlogged, and the situation of flood control and epidemic prevention is grim. You are from a poor family, and you should solve the problem of agriculture and water conservancy, and offer advice for the people, so as to serve the country, rather than wasting this good opportunity for discussing politics on things that are not beneficial to the people. There is no shortage of ministers in the imperial court, but there is a shortage of practical talents. ”

Bu Xihuan got up and left the table, just mentioning something, and he didn't want to say more.

*

Most of the shops on this street are time-honored brands, and the Fu Ji steamed bun shop is only half a street away from the teahouse.

Back then, my father often brought Fu Ji's steamed buns home to be hot for her to eat.

Back then, she lied to Bu Xihuan that she wanted to eat steamed buns, and then embarked on the road to the northwest of the army.

Now, when she returned to her homeland, she never thought that the world would become like this.

Yuan Xiu, Yao Huiqing, Shi Dahai, Huyan Chalie......

Xiao Er saw Du Qing standing alone at the door of the shop, dressed in brocade clothes and robes, with a clear bearing, although her appearance was not amazing, she was obviously not a child of an ordinary family, so she was a little careful and did not dare to disturb her.

Twilight came back to her senses and said, "Half a cage of vegetarian buns, half a cage of meat buns." ”

Xiao Er had never seen the son of the scholar clan go to the street to buy food by himself, and he didn't even bring a small servant with him, so he was stunned for a while before he asked with a smile: "Is the son used in it, or is it brought back to the house?" ”

"Take it home."

"That boy waits, please sit and wait."

Twilight Qing entered the hall first, the lobby was full, she found an empty table on the second floor and sat down, and after waiting for about a cup of tea, Xiao Er carried a bun upstairs. The bun had been wrapped in oiled paper, and Twilight was about to leave after paying the money, when she turned around and heard a low voice from the private room next to her.

"What time is it? How long will it take for the Holy Driver to enter the city? The woman's voice is like the willow silk on the river embankment in June, stumbling and provoking the spring breeze.

Twilight pauses.

A maid in the private room replied: "Miss Hui, it is only the time now, and the holy car will enter the city at the earliest. Why don't you leave a small guy here to wait, and the young lady will go back to the house to rest for a while? ”

The woman sighed, "It's hard to get out of the house, just wait." ”

At this time, there was a burst of laughter in the private room, and the girl's voice was sweet, but there was a three-point anger in it, "What kind of anger does my sister sigh about?" Isn't it just that the saint refuted the excerpt of the concubine selection a few days ago? From ancient times to the present, I haven't heard of the six palaces without concubines! ”

"You don't know him." The woman sighed again, and her voice sounded very mournful, "When he was young, he had a wild temperament, and he acted with a bit of determination, saying that he wanted to be a faint king first, and then he was really scolded by the world for many years. Now that Jiangnan is his, he said that if he doesn't choose a concubine, he probably won't choose a concubine......"

"But the Jiangnan Shi clan is not dead, the holy will is the holy will, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty must also approve it. I heard my father and brother say that several adults are thinking about the matter of choosing a concubine, and the saint has just been in power, so it is not good to disobey the will of the ministers. Sister wait and see, it won't be long before you have to choose a concubine! ”

The woman was silent.

The girl snorted and laughed, "Okay, let's not talk about it, I'll tell you a joke to relieve my sister's boredom." ”

The woman replied absentmindedly.

The girl quipped: "This joke is about the middle palace, my sister doesn't want to hear it, but someone wants to hear it?" ”

It seems that there are still many people in the private room.

The girl said, "Has anyone heard about it?" I heard that the one in the middle palace is as thick as a man, and he is extremely ugly! ”

As soon as these words came out, there was a faint sound of inhaling in the private room.

"This ...... Impossible, right? The woman couldn't help but ask.

"How could it be? My sister thought, she was a woman disguised as a man and had served in the army, if she wasn't as thick as a strong man, how could she be fooled in the army? Besides, what kind of background is she, it's not as good as a rough girl in our house! Which of those rough girls is not thick with hands and feet? How good can she be? And the army trains every day, the rough work in our house is much lighter than in the army, she has been in the military camp for three years, and it is rumored that she is as thick as a man, and it is true to think about it. ”

“…… Is this true? ”

"Eighty percent true."

"Then why does he still ...... to such a person every day?"

"I heard that it is for the hearts of the people and the Jiangbei Water Master, the saint is close to the cold door, and winning the hearts of the people is the cold door, so she can sit in the position of the middle palace."

……

Twilight didn't listen again, she went downstairs, turned into the alley next to the shop, and called, "Someone! ”

Bu Xihuan and her entered the city first, it was impossible not to follow the hidden guard, otherwise he would not have assured that she would come out alone.

Sure enough, as soon as Twilight's words fell, the two cloth-clothed men entered the alley, "Your Highness! ”

"Find out who is in the Seattles of Fortune today."

"Yes!"

The hidden guard obeyed the order, and Twilight returned to the teahouse with the bun, but was bumping into Bu Xihuan and walking to the door.

"Your Excellency, wait!" The Qingyi student chased him out, bowed deeply to Bu Xihuan, and asked, "Dare to ask Your Excellency's honorable name?" ”

Twilight's brow furrowed almost imperceptibly, and she glanced at the green-shirted student without a trace.

"Bai Qing." Bu Xihuan reported his name, and then left with Twilight.

In the teahouse, it took a long time for the students to come back to their senses.

Bai Qing?

Which Bai Qing?

Bai Qing, who has never appeared among the seven sages?

A few days ago, the Holy Father sealed seven Hanmen students, this is the first time since the middle of the court and the upper grade of the Hanmen have been sealed for the first time, the world calls these seven people "Later Seven Sages", six of them have already become famous, but Bai Qing has never shown up. This person is very mysterious, and the others were headed by Bai Qing when they were in Jiangnan Guang and the world's cold warriors, but this person did not show up until he was sealed, and the mystery of his identity led to speculation, who would have thought that he would suddenly appear in the teahouse in Biandu?

The students were talking excitedly, and the students in green shirts looked at the direction in which Bu Xihuan and Dusk Qing were leaving, their eyes were unpredictable, and after a while, they hurriedly walked out of the teahouse.

*

A carriage was waiting in the back alley, with the square flag of the Prime Minister's Mansion on it, Bu Xihuan and Dusk Qing got into the carriage, and Bu Xihuan said to the outside of the car: "Check the origin of that person." ”

"Yes!" The guards are ordered to leave.

Dusk Qing said: "A few days ago, who did you give the Canaan incense that Huaizhou paid tribute to?" Look up there, and you'll be wrong. ”

Bu Xihuan glanced at Twilight and asked with a smile, "See?" ”

A poor student does not care about the reform of the office, but denounces the pet, and does not leave the selection of concubines, which is really contrary to common sense. These things have nothing to do with the interests of the Han family, but are beneficial to the Shi clan, so the origin of this person has to be carefully investigated.

Twilight said, "I didn't see it, I smelled it." When he gave the salute just now, the wind on his sleeves carried the smell of Canaan incense, which was a tribute, except for the palace, only in the courtier's mansion. The aroma can't be stained in the palace, then it can only be in the courtier's mansion, I guess if this person is really a son of a poor family, eighty percent is also a protégé who worshiped the scholar clan earlier, and his interests are connected, so he will regard me as an enemy. ”

Bu Xihuan sighed when she heard this, and scolded with a smile: "What a nose! ”

"Thank you." Her nose was already smart, and now it's even smarter.

The carriage moved, went out of the long street, and went all the way to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Chen Youliang, the former assassin of Bianzhou, is now the left minister of the dynasty, he was born in a poor family, although he is a little pedantic, but he is honest and honest. It's just that there are still few Han scholars in the DPRK, Cui Yuan and others have just become officials, and it is still difficult to take the lead at the moment, and the time for the teahouse to discuss politics is still short, and it is difficult to have a good strategy for the reform of the government for a while.

Although the twilight youth knew the system of the imperial examination, they also knew that the successful implementation of any system was inseparable from its specific historical background, and that the imperial examination may not be applicable to today's court situation.

Just thinking about it, I only listened to Bu Xihuan and said: "Today, the lady scolded the student, and the husband was very relieved to hear it. It's better to be a husband in the future, if you meet a wild bee and butterfly, the lady will also follow today's example, don't mind, and directly scold people back for your husband, how about it? ”

As he spoke, Bu Xihuan took Twilight's hand and held it in his palm, measuring her expression without a trace.

He should learn her method of observing words and colors. Although she is not as alienated as before, she is a cold person after all, and she is not good at showing joy and anger. As at this time, she looked the same as usual, but he always felt that she was not very happy after returning from Fu Ji.

Did the student's words make her listen to her heart, or did she ...... What happened to Fu Ji?

As soon as Twilight heard this, she thought of the woman in the private room of Fu Ji, and from the woman's words, she could tell that she and Bu Xihuan seemed to have known each other when they were young, and that she had some affection for Bu Xihuan.

She admits that there is something wrong with her heart, but she believes him.

"Think beautifully! The love debts that I caused by myself can be solved by myself, and the files submitted by the Criminal Department are almost piled up, and I am not available! Twilight refuses angrily, but her hand doesn't pull back.

Bu Xihuan looked at the twilight, tasted the sour "love debt", opened the curtain and glanced at the direction of Fu Ji.

This glance is meaningful, cool like autumn.

"Okay, solve it for your husband, don't worry about the lady." When the curtain was lowered, Bu Xihuan rubbed Twilight's palms, her eyes were rippling, and spring replaced the cool autumn.

The carriage entered the Xiangfu, Bu Xihuan and Dui Qing had lunch in the Xiangfu, and it was not until Luan drove into the city in the evening that the two took the carriage and entered the palace from the side gate.

The carriage ran along the palace corridor with yellow tiles and red walls, passed through two palaces and one hall, three pavilions and one view, turned a corner and drove into the imperial garden. The thick glow is like fire, burning half of the strange flowers in the garden, and Bu Xi is happy to see the twilight leaning against the window to enjoy the scenery, his eyebrows are stretched, and he can't help but slowly breathe a sigh of relief.

As soon as this breath was relaxed, the carriage suddenly jolted!

Twilight rushed forward unexpectedly, and quickly grabbed the person into her arms, and the wind of the sleeves gathered the force of the landslide, and the upside-down carriage came to a steady stop when it fell.

The guard shouted, "Presumptuous! Who is amazed! ”

The little eunuch who fell down looked confused, and when he saw the person who got out of the carriage, his face was suddenly full of death, and he kowtowed and cried: "The slave should die!" Damn the minions! Slaves, slaves don't know...... I don't know ......."

The little eunuch poured a food box beside him, and the hot soup was spilled out, and the ingredients were full of rare mountain treasures at this time. The little eunuch's fingertips were red, his fingers were swollen like turnips, and his head was bruised and bloody, and the injuries were not light.

Seeing that the bruises were concentrated on the middle finger and ring finger, there were superficial lacerations on the skin, and the bruises under them were large patches, and even the nails were full of large bruises and bruises, so she couldn't help frowning, and said to Bu Xihuan: "Crushed injuries, but judging from the shape of the scars, they were not run over by the wheels, but like they were crushed by the soles of shoes." ”

Twilight raised its eyes and looked into the distance, and where the sunset set in the west sat a large hall - Ningshou Palace.

After Gaozu laid down half of the country of Daxing, he spent thirteen spring and autumn in the Bianhe Palace, and then went through the order of the emperor to repair, the scale of the palace is not smaller than the Shengjing Palace, the front hall and the back palace are readily available, and the Ningshou Palace is the residence of the Queen Mother.

There is no queen mother in the palace, but there is a "queen mother".

King Heng was placed in Ningshou Palace by Bu Xihuan, not so much a placement as a confinement. Ningshou Palace was arranged into a Buddhist hall, the hall for the portrait and tablet of the mother concubine, the day of the promulgation of the edict, Bu Xihuan also posthumously sealed the mother concubine, but did not mention the biological father Heng Wang.

Although King Heng has never sat on the throne, because he is the biological father of the emperor, he should have the title of Emperor Taishang, but Bu Xihuan ordered the palace to still call him King Heng, and confined him in Ningshou Palace, so that he repented and thought about it, and kept his soul to the end.

Bu Xihuan knew that King Heng was greedy for wine and lustful virtues, so he did not send the palace maids to serve in Ningshou Palace, but only allocated the guards and eunuchs. The day before Luan drove out of the palace, King Heng smashed the things in the side hall, and Bu Xihuan ordered people to collect all the furnishings in the palace, leaving only the beds, tables, and chairs, which were like cold palaces. Unexpectedly, it has only been ten days since he left the palace, and he actually sprinkled his anger on the palace people, and tortured the eunuchs who served him into such a look!

"He's hurt?" Bu Xihuan looked at Ningshou Palace with his hands in his hands, the evening breeze blew his sleeves, and the afterglow was all over the ground.

The little eunuch nodded subconsciously, and shook his head busily.

"What's going on with this soup?" Seeing that the little eunuch didn't dare to answer, Bu Xihuan said, "I forgive you for your innocence, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

"Back to Your Majesty, yes, yes, the lunch is not in line with the prince's appetite, the prince is too bland, and he named the imperial dining room to make pheasant and bamboo soup, not warm food, to use a small pot of red mud to simmer, accompanied by the tender tea tips before the Ming Dynasty...... The slave waited in the imperial dining room for two hours, but he didn't expect to be shocked on the way back, and the slave deserved to die! The little eunuch kowtowed like pounding garlic, and there was crying in his voice.

If anything, he still didn't dare to say.

In the ten days that the saint was not in the palace, King Heng had three or four meals a day, and he didn't like it, either smashing the dishes or scolding the palace people. Heng Wang Ye and the Holy Lord were not in harmony, knowing that the Holy Lord returned to the palace today, Heng Wangye's temper became more and more uncertain, and at noon he said that the warm fire meal was tasteless, and smashed the lunch. He waited outside the imperial dining room for two hours, because of an injury on his hand, he secretly put down a break when he passed by the imperial garden with a food box, but he did not expect that this break would be so tired that he fell asleep. Although he only took a nap, when he was awakened by the sound of horses' hooves, it was too late for him to hide, and he was startled.

He was also unlucky today, he didn't expect that the emperor and queen who should have entered the palace from the east gate would appear in the imperial garden, and he didn't expect the queen mother to just look at him, and he saw that his hand was trampled by the prince. When the saint asked, he didn't dare not reply, but after replying to the saint's words, he returned to Ningshou Palace, and he was afraid that he would be beaten to death by Prince Heng.

It's a death today, not to mention the crime of driving in shock.

Bu Xihuan smiled mockingly, turned to Du Qing and said, "I'll go to Ningshou Palace, you go back to the main hall to rest for a while." ”

Twilight said, "I'll be with you." ”

"Why do you want to go to this blockage? If you go to your husband, you will come, you will go back and rest first, and if you are hungry, you will pass the meal first. Bu Xihuan took Twilight Qing's hand and patted it, and then ordered the little eunuch to get up and go to Ningshou Palace with him.

Twilight looked at Bu Xihuan's back and sighed.

Fortunately, the grievances between their father and son must be settled, and if he does not deal with it himself, the knot in his heart that has been held for more than 20 years will never be untied.

*

Bu Xihuan said that he would come when he went, but he didn't come back at dinner time, Dusk Qing ordered the eunuch to go out to inquire in the Qianfang Palace, and as soon as the front foot left, the guard entered the hall and presented a secret note.

What was played in the secret recital was what she had ordered the hidden guards to investigate in the afternoon—a list of all the famous families in the court, there were eight of them.

Twilight sneered, and before she could put down the secret music, the palace people came back, and the person behind her was Fan Tong's apprentice Xiao Anzi, who was on an errand in the Taiji Palace.

Xiao Anzi didn't learn his master's rigid face, but smiled when he saw people, which was very pleasing.

However, he didn't dare to laugh at today's return.

"Back to the queen's mother, King Heng and His Majesty had a big quarrel, and His Majesty removed a cadre of eunuchs who served in Ningshou Palace, leaving only the Imperial Forest Guard." The guards are all strong in martial arts, and there are no people around King Heng to serve, if you want to be angry with the guards, you will definitely not be able to do it.

Alas!

Xiao Anzi sighed in his heart, and he didn't know which strength King Heng compared with His Majesty, if he honestly chanted the scriptures and guarded the spirit for the Queen Mother, His Majesty might be able to soften his heart, after all, the blood is connected. But if he makes such a fuss, he can only suffer himself.

"What happened to the little eunuch who was beaten?"

"Back to the queen's mother, Your Majesty announced the imperial doctor, and the eunuchs who were beaten in the Zhun Ningshou Palace went to the imperial pharmacy to get the medicine, and they will go back to their original places to work on errands in the future, and they will receive double copies of the monthly case this month."

"Your Majesty is in the Taiji Palace? Got dinner? ”

When Xiao Anzi heard this, he sighed even more, "Back to the queen mother, Your Majesty has just dealt with the affairs in Ningshou Palace, and Lord Bing Cao Shangshu entered the palace with several adults to see His Majesty." His Majesty beheaded the brother of the Lingnan Thorn History in Gushui County, and several adults were worried about the situation in Lingnan, and they were discussing important military and political affairs with His Majesty in the Taiji Palace! Your Majesty is worried that the queen will wait for a long time, and when she has time, she will send a servant to come and spread a message, asking you to have dinner first, don't wait for a long time. ”

After passing on this, Xiao Anzi saw a smile on his face, "Your Majesty also said, it's hard to predict how many times you can go back tonight, it's time to hold the lamp now, you rest early, don't look at those files, and carefully boil your eyes." ”

Twilight Qing didn't say a word, and only said when Xiao Anzi said goodbye: "When you go back, go to the imperial dining room, bring a bowl of ginseng and chicken soup and hand it in, he eats less this day, you don't let him drink tea, it hurts his stomach." ”

"Slaves obey!" Xiao Anzi smiled and bent his eyes, almost running away.

When Anzi left, Twilight looked at the dinner on the table and suddenly lost her appetite. As soon as she turned her head, she saw the secret music placed aside, and couldn't help but think of the joke in the carriage during the day, and slowly pursed her lips.

The external situation is not settled, the internal strife is endless, this person is so busy that he doesn't even have time to eat, and he still wants to solve everything by himself.

Well, there are some things, let's do it.

So, Empress Yingrui, who claimed to be unavailable during the day, slapped the secret decree on the table, and gave the edict for the first time, "Come on!" Message! Xuan The young lady of the eight mansions will enter the palace for dinner at noon tomorrow. ”

------Off topic------

At the beginning of this year, I encountered a turning point, the cause was that a new article was plagiarized, and after being reported by readers, I contacted the editor of the other party, and the article was deleted on the same day.

The next day, after a report from a reader, someone claimed to be my fan representative, saying that I was going to the Hangzhou headquarters and defrauded the reader of money. I hurriedly refuted the rumors on Weibo (Fengjin), WeChat public account (xxfengjin) and groups.

On the third day, an author sent me a private message on Weibo, asking me if I was going to the Hangzhou headquarters, and apologized for plagiarism - I was stunned, and the deacon team helped to check, and I was even more confused.

- I am the dividing line of truth -

It turned out that the reader reported plagiarism, and the scammer found the plagiarist, claiming to be a fan representative, saying that I bought a ticket to Hangzhou, and I didn't want to make a big deal and spend money to make a relationship, and I threatened and intimidated the plagiarist, and the plagiarist sent me a private message to apologize, and asked a friend to verify, I thought that someone cheated the reader's money, and quickly refuted the rumors, but I thought that the truth was like this.

This is really the first turning point drama of the new year, and the reality is really more exciting.
