Chapter 18: Pampering
Towering and solemn, the golden palace stands in the center of the inner city of the capital, behind the golden water and jade bridge, the forbidden army with a spear in the helmet and armor is guarding the palace, and the forbidden army is strict and no one is close to the palace.
The gray sky made the palace more solemn and unattainable.
With the cold wind and light snow drifting in the sky, under the front steps of the Qianqing Palace, there was a person kneeling against the wind and snow, looking at the snow falling on his body, it was clear that he had been kneeling for a long time.
Even though his legs were numb, he didn't dare to move a bit.
The little eunuchs serving the emperor in front of the Qianqing Palace were hunched one by one, standing silently at the door of the palace, they did not dare to look around, and they did not dare to give any preferential treatment to the eunuch Bingbi who knelt under the steps, and Liu Gonggong, the commander of the Dongchang factory.
Gonggong Liu is the number two person among the eunuchs, because the commander of Dongchang, even the important ministers of the previous dynasty did not dare to 'offend' him.
At this time, Gonggong Liu, who was majestic in the past, could only kneel in front of the Qianqing Palace, and Emperor Qianyuan punished him, just because he did not persuade him to return to the capital to command Lord Gu.
The eunuch who served by the emperor's side came out of the side door, and although he was running, his steps were like that of a tanuki.
Running down the edge of the high steps, he stopped in front of Gonggong Liu, who was almost frozen, "Your Majesty, let you in." ”
Gonggong Liu reluctantly raised his eyelids hung with ice and snow, not daring to have any carelessness, and bowed respectfully to the Qianqing Palace, "The slave and maid receive the order." ”
He struggled to get up with his hands on the ground, and the eunuch who delivered the decree helped him weakly, and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty is still very angry, you should be careful." ”
Even if His Majesty knew that Gu Sanshao was unwilling to return to Beijing, His Majesty would still blame Gonggong Liu, who was unfavorable for 'doing things'.
Gonggong Liu, who was punished by Emperor Qianyuan to kneel in public, at least could not have any complaints on his face, let alone dare to say slanderous rumors that were unfavorable to Gu Sanshao.
This errand to the Huangzhuang in Fenghua Valley made him too depressed, and after he entered the Admiral Dongchang, he did not receive today's 'punishment'.
Gonggong Liu climbed the steps, dusted off the snowflakes on his body, and knelt in front of the gate of the Qianqing Palace, "The slave and maid bow and thank Your Majesty for your grace." ”
"Come in."
"Your Majesty."
Gonggong Liu climbed into the Qianqing Palace and knelt ten steps away from Emperor Qianyuan.
Emperor Qianyuan was about forty years old, and he had been in power for 20 years.
He faces majesty, his face is handsome, and his chin has a beautiful beard that makes him a little more elegant, if Emperor Qianyuan is regarded as an emperor who likes to write and ink, and emphasizes literature over martial arts, it is a big mistake.
Emperor Qianyuan personally conquered several times, and used troops against the frontier states many times, in addition to consolidating the country, the territory of the dynasty expanded by one-third compared with Taizu's.
His martial arts can be described as a generation of Ming Jun, and his control over the government and the opposition is far greater than when Taizu founded the country!
At this time, he was wearing the emperor's regular clothes, crossed Erlang's legs, and held a letter in his hand, ignoring Gonggong Liu's invitation.
Gonggong Liu raised his eyelids slightly, understanding that the fold in the emperor's hand was the one that Gu Sanshao let him bring back, don't look at him majestic outside, in front of the emperor, he is a dog!
"Have you seen this excerpt?"
"Slaves and maids don't dare to peek into the secret folds of the adult."
The anger on Emperor Qianyuan's face subsided slightly, and he put the fold in his hand on the table, "He can't be happy in Fenghua Valley." ”
"Back to the emperor, Lord Gu misses you very much, but he doesn't dare to return to Beijing without a holy order."
Gonggong Liu made up the lie that Gu Sanshao missed Emperor Qianyuan, Gu Sanshao punished him for kneeling, and he had to help Gu Sanshao be loyal to the emperor, which ...... It's his life!
Even if Emperor Qianyuan knew that there was moisture in Gonggong Liu's words, he couldn't help but listen to him, and his cold expression slowed down: "Aze has filial piety to me, but his temper is too stubborn, can I still beg him to come back?" ”
"The slave and maid will not live long in the imperial village."
"That's it, mention him, and I'll be angry." Emperor Qianyuan instructed: "Huai'en, you personally go to ** everywhere to spread my word, my ** does not allow anyone to raise cats!" If anyone dares to raise a cat, they will be killed, no matter who it is! ”
"Slave and maid command." The celebrant who had been serving Emperor Qianyuan was in charge of the seal eunuch and bowed down to receive the decree.
The reason why Gu Sanshao was punished to Huangzhuang for reflection was because he split the Persian cat, the concubine's pet, in half with a sword? The emperor issued this edict, thinking that there was no need for Gu Sanshao to stay in Fenghua Valley anymore.
"You can also take a look at this excerpt." Emperor Qianyuan handed the fold to Gonggong Liu, and said sternly: "I opened the East Factory, I didn't let you mess around."
Gonggong Liu quickly glanced at the fold, and only two things were mentioned in it, the first thing, Gu Sanshao didn't like cats, and the second thing, Gu Sanshao mentioned that Jiangnan Wancheng had dragon energy......
The prefect of Wancheng is the brother of the concubine!
Last month, Emperor Qianyuan issued an edict commending the achievements of the Wancheng prefect...... Even if she was favored by the emperor and had a second prince, the concubine Niangniang couldn't resist Emperor Qianyuan's partiality to Gu Sanshao.
Others said to the emperor that Wancheng had dragon energy, and Emperor Qianyuan might condemn him as a demon to confuse the public, but Gu Sanshao said...... Gonggong Liu kowtowed and said, "The slave maid personally led people to Wancheng." ”
"I've made it clear, who dares to stop you from investigating this matter, I will allow you to cut it first and then play it."
"Yes."
Emperor Qianyuan got up and walked outside the Qianqing Palace, "I'm going to see the empress." ”
If he wanted Gu Sanshao to return to Beijing, Emperor Qianyuan had to think of a way to get Gu Sanshao's aunt and empress......
Guanwen Hou's Mansion, although there is a light snow outside, a quiet, elegant room is warm as spring, and the sound of Lang Lang's reading and the voice of the strict father and son float out from time to time in the house.
Behind a sandalwood desk, there sat a young man with clear eyebrows and elegant temperament.
The young man held the brush, and behind the young man, a middle-aged man who was more handsome like a fairy held the hand of the young man holding the pen, and wrote on the rice paper in front of him.
"Han'er, the pen is hidden, and the pen is like flowing water, endless."
"The son remembers his father's teachings."
The handsome middle-aged man let go of his son's hand with satisfaction, and patiently taught his eldest son Wang Duanhan: "Practicing regular script well will be very beneficial to you in the imperial examination township, and you can benefit immensely if you learn a good hand." ”
A beaded curtain divides the study into two halves, and behind the beaded curtain, there sits a graceful and beautiful woman, who sometimes gazes at the father and son in front of the desk with affection through the beaded curtain, and sometimes bows her head to do the embroidery work on her hands.
Since beating Jiang and leaving Guanwenhou, she and the fourth master no longer have to be sneaky, day and night, Aunt Yin's face is full of happiness and sweetness, and she thinks selfishly, how good it would be for Jiang to never come back.
Wang Zhixuan walked to Wang Yixin's father and son with Qing Ming, and said with a smile: "There is a father who teaches me, and my brother's handwriting is getting better and better. ”
Wang Yixin's lips hung doting, appreciating: "Xuan'er's words are magnificent, and they have more calligraphy charm than Han'er." ”
Wang Zhixuan took Wang Yixin's arm and said coquettishly: "Daddy is boasting, my brother and I are taught calligraphy by you one by one." ”
He met Aunt Yin's affectionate gaze...... Silence is better than sound at this point.
Chang Sui Moxiang stood at the root of the window, breaking the silence of the room, "Fourth master, Young Master Chun sent a letter back from Taishan Academy, I heard that Young Master Chun is not doing well in Taishan Academy......"
Wang Yixin's face turned into a smile, when will the sister-in-law grow?
