Summer is coming, and it's the rainy season again.

There is still a lot of rain this year, but Jiangning is fine. According to He Xilai's letter, the water of the moat has been full, and the emperor ordered it to be dredged several times, but the rivers around the imperial capital are full, and many low-lying villages are no longer able to live in them, and the situation is very worrying.

Because of this incident, the emperor angrily rebuked the Ministry of Works and ordered them to come up with a way as soon as possible, and they must not let the people of the imperial capital fall into muddy water. And because of this, he canceled the plan to go to the summer and decided to stay in the imperial capital to personally supervise the work of the officials of the Ministry of Industry.

The emperor's anger should not be underestimated, at this time, the trembling in Yundu City is not only the officials of the Ministry of Industry, but the officials of the six ministries have all tightened their skins. The household department immediately allocated money to the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of Industry immediately summoned capable people to find a way.

Just when the officials in Kyoto were worried, good news came out of the harem - the noble people were happy. Three and a half years after Emperor Jinglong ascended the throne, the first woman in the harem became pregnant, which can be described as a great joy.

Because of this happy event, the panic caused by the flood in the imperial capital suddenly dissipated a lot, after all, the emperor is not angry, everything is easy to discuss.

The moonlight dissolves, the autumn is as cool as water, and the evening breeze blows away the heat of the day.

A couch was placed under the banana tree in the backyard of the Yaojia Courtyard in Jiangning City, and there were cheerful laughter and immature children's voices scattered from the couch, accompanied by the breeze accompanied by the faint fragrance of water lilies, floating far away.

"Mother, try this, this is delicious." Yiyi picked up a drunken bayberry with a silver fork and sent it to Yao Yanyu's mouth.

Yao Yanyu opened her mouth and ate the drunken bayberry into her mouth, and immediately deflated her face, her eyebrows and eyes were wrinkled together, and she grinned: "It's sour!" Acid to death! It's not time yet, so you can take it out and eat it. Do you want small teeth? ”

"Aunt Su took it out." Wei Yiyi betrayed Su Yuxuan while eating.

Yao Yanyu sighed: "She just connived at you, and she didn't have any principles at all. ”

"Nope! My aunt is punishing my brother for writing big letters. Wei Yiyi immediately complained - Ling Xiao and Tang Zhenyuan did not complete their handwriting homework well today, and they were left by Su Yuyuan there to write 200 words before they could go back to the room to sleep.

"Why do you want to punish my brother for writing big characters?" Yao Yanyu raised her hand to take Ling Hao from the nurse's arms and put it on her lap, and pushed away the little hand he put in her mouth.

"Because my aunt said that my brother's handwriting was not good enough." Yiyi picked another bayberry to feed Ling Qin.

"Don't give him ...... food" Yao Yan didn't finish speaking, Ling Qin, a snack merchant, had already swallowed the bayberry, and then spit it out with a frown in the next second, "Good ......"

"It's 'sour'! Stupid! Yiyi seriously despised her younger brother, who was more than a year old and still couldn't speak clearly. How can there be such a stupid child, who is more than a year old and can't speak clearly?!

"Fan......" Ling Qin corrected seriously.

"Oh~ I'm really defeated to you!" Yiyi looked devastated.

"Ha Lu Ha...... Sister ......" Ling Qin crawled towards Yiyi, stepped forward to hug her sister's neck, and asked her sister to salivate.

"Ahh Don't! Yiyi pushed Ling Qin away, pressed him on the couch and sat down, and then taught his younger brother a serious lesson: "Don't let your relatives go anywhere!" Especially girls, do you hear that? ”

"Hmm...... Ha Lu Ha! Ling Qin didn't hear it at all, turned around and crawled onto Yao Yanyu's body and gnawed on his mother's face again.

Ling Hao stared at Ling Qin for a moment with a tense little face, and then decisively stretched out his little hand and pushed his younger brother's fat face aside. Yao Yanyu thought that Ling Qin would cry, but the little guy from the Lotte faction didn't mean to cry at all, but happily went to the side of the small table to find something to eat.

The mother and son played for a while, Ling Xiao came back after writing the big characters, and came to say hello to Yao Yanyu, so he was pulled to sit down by Yiyi, and stuffed three drunken bayberry into his mouth in a row.

Ling Xiao frowned sourly, but still ate it silently.

"Brother, is it delicious?" Yiyi asked with a smile.

"Well, that's good." Ling Xiao smiled and nodded, then raised his hand and touched Yiyi's braids.

"Also, I'll keep it for you." Yiyi said seriously.

"Okay." Ling Xiao flicked the purple pearl on the ribbon that tied Yiyi's braids.

Yao Yanyu saw that the children had returned, so she sat up straight and said, "Okay, it's not early, you should all go to bed." ”

Ling Xiao took the lead in getting up and bowing to Yao Yanyu: "Please go back to the room to rest first." ”

Yiyi also hurriedly picked it up from the couch, stood beside her brother, and said obediently: "Please go back to the room to rest first." ”

The nurses of the two little ones each came up and picked them up, and saluted Yao Yanyufu.

Yao Yanyu smiled and got up and helped Ling Xiao's shoulders and walked into the house, and the children followed behind and waited for their mother to enter the bedroom before they retreated together, and each went to sleep with the maids and daughters he served closely.

After everyone dispersed, Yao Yanyu said to the Xiangzhi next to him: "Did Xu Shiyang come just now?" ”

"Yes, Xu Duwei said that there is a letter from the capital." Xiang Zhi said, taking out a letter from his sleeve and handing it over.

Yao Yanyu tore open the envelope by the light, unfolded it and looked at it slowly.

This is Yao Yanyi's letter, and he told her about the current situation of Yundu City in his heart, naturally there are various decisions and joys and sorrows of the emperor, among which there must be the matter of Wan Guiren's pregnancy, although they are all trivial and miscellaneous, but they are very useful for Yao Yanyu and Wei Zhang to judge the current situation.

Therefore, Yao Yanyi wrote as detailed as possible, and Yao Yanyu also read as carefully as possible.

Wan Guiren was pregnant, and the emperor was very happy, and Jin named her Wan Concubine.

Yao Yanyu was not happy at all when she saw this. She knew that Du Ruoqing was the person chosen by the Anguo Mansion, and the more the emperor liked her, the more miserable she would be when she found out about this matter in the future.

There are two princes and grandsons in the Anguo Mansion, one is still guarding the tomb of the emperor, and the other is the seventh prince who has gradually grown up.

The seventh prince Yunrui is sixteen years old this year, and after Emperor Jinglong succeeded to the throne, he did not go out of the palace to live alone because he was underage, but lived in the Wanshou Palace with his mother, Concubine Jin. Also living there were Concubine Su and Yun Jue.

Those concubines of the former emperor who had no children could have spent their old age in the Wanshou Palace, but the concubines who had no husbands and children were like leaves in the wind, and life in the palace was worse than death. So in less than two years, the old man couldn't survive and died, so the young one cut his hair and went to the Cixin Nunnery to become a monk.

Lin Sumo's son has been crowned the king of the county, and she is not a troubled person, so living in the west courtyard of Wanshou Palace is considered stable. But as her son got older and older, she gradually became restless.

In fact, every move of her and the Anguo Mansion was watched by the emperor, but the emperor had a lot of important things to do, and the emperor didn't care about their trivial things.

In fact, Emperor Jinglong is really an emperor who can tolerate people, and the vision of Emperor Xian and Emperor Xiao will not be wrong. It's just that no matter how generous a person is, he also has a reverse scale, and if he wants to be tolerated, he can't poke that reverse scale.

Entering July, the rain in the north only saw more but not less, three days and a small field and five days a large field, all the farms and needless to say, the imperial capital Chengli was also full of stagnant water, many people's old houses were washed down, and the children and daughters were dragged into the temporary rain shelter built by the imperial court outside the city gate.

Emperor Jinglong's mood became more and more irritable day by day, and the little floating light brought by Wan Concubine's pregnancy was once again covered by thick clouds.

In the Qianyuan Palace, the gloomy sky light shone in through the clear glass with a watery meaning, and Emperor Jinglong threw a book in his hand on the kang table with a gloomy face, and leaned on the pillow depressedly without saying a word.

A clever little eunuch came in from outside silently and stood in front of the couch.

"What's the matter?" Emperor Jinglong asked in a deep voice.

"Back to the emperor, the slave just went to Wan Niangniang's side to deliver something, and saw a palace maid coming out of Niangniang's palace, and seeing that the back image was the person next to Concubine Jin, he quietly followed......

The more the little eunuch spoke, the more gloomy Emperor Jinglong's face became, and the little eunuch was so frightened by the emperor's face that he couldn't say anything anymore.

"Say! Why don't you say it? The emperor's eyes were bloodshot, and he glared at the little eunuch fiercely.

The little eunuch was so frightened that his legs were weak and he immediately knelt on the ground: "The slave sees this, and he doesn't know what to do with the rest." ”

"Good, good! Very good! Emperor Jinglong shouted three hellos in a row, his eyes were gloomy, and the murderous aura on his face was unprecedentedly strong!

All the eunuchs and palace maids in the Qianyuan Hall knelt down, lying on the ground one by one, and they didn't dare to gasp. After a long time, Emperor Jinglong's anger was finally suppressed, his calm gaze was unfathomable, and his voice was surprisingly light: "Zhang Suixi, ask Yao Yuanzhi to come to see me!" ”

"Yes." Zhang Suixi agreed, and turned his head to look at the little eunuch beside him.

"What do you see him doing? I'll let you go! You dog minion is getting bolder! Didn't even I tell you to do it?! ”

"Slaves are dead!" Zhang Suixi was so frightened that his soul flew away, and he thought that the sky was going to fall down while running out!

After Emperor Jinglong saw Yao Yuan, he said a word: "I want to do An Guogong." Yao Ge, you go and find a way. ”

"......" Yao Yuan was stunned, then knelt down and kowtowed.

Although the cabinet has a certain amount of power to deal with political affairs, this power is also given by the emperor. The emperor wants to do An Guogong, what can Yao Yuanzhi do?

What's more, An Guogong relied on his meritorious efforts to support the first emperor to ascend the throne, and gradually became bigger in the court, not only did he control the Ministry of Industry for a long time, but even the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Officials also had his henchmen. Not to mention other things, just the civil construction of Yundu City in the past 30 years, how much has he benefited from it? How important the existence of the moat is, the prince of Anguo dares to put his hand into it.

Now the imperial capital is in floods inside and outside, half of which is caused by God, and the other half is the good deeds done by the Anguo Mansion.

It was a matter of time before the emperor wanted to do An Guogong, but Yao Ge didn't expect it to be so soon, Wan Guiren had just become pregnant, and Yao Yuanzhi thought that the emperor would wait for Wan Gui to give birth before doing it. But it doesn't matter, when to do it is the emperor's business, and how to do it well is the question that he, the first minister, should think about.

With Yao Ge Lao's operation, three days later, in the morning, the Ministry of Officials Shangshu took the lead in impeaching the Ministry of Industry for cutting corners in the civil engineering projects of the imperial capital, filling his own pockets, and directly came up with strong evidence.

The Ministry of Industry Shangshu was supposed to defend himself, but Sun Yin, the left attendant of the Criminal Department, immediately impeached the Ministry of Industry Shangshu for dereliction of duty and colluded with the princes and ministers.

So the civil and military officials were shocked - the matter of the Ministry of Emotional Work is not the point, the focus is on a certain prince!

Over the years, there is only one prince who has a deep relationship with the Ministry of Industry, and that is An Guogong.

So with the deliberate connivance of the emperor, the ministers' impeachment of An Guogong flew into the cabinet like snowflakes.

According to these twists and turns, Yao Yuanzhi sorted out the nine major crimes of An Guogong, such as embezzlement, bribery, buying and selling officials, oppressing the people and forcibly occupying fertile land, because of several ancient paintings that forced people's lives, solicited lawsuits, blasphemed the law, and so on. And the indispensable one is to secretly support the descendants of the clan to seize the throne.

When Yao Yuanzhi saw the twists and turns of this impeachment, he really hesitated. He knew that this major crime could most move the emperor's heart, and there was no need for real evidence to plot rebellion, as long as it was unnecessary.

But if this one is stabbed up, the king of Hengjun will definitely suffer.

In the first year of Jinglong, the tomb of the Holy Grandfather collapsed, the King of Hengjun was ordered to go to the Imperial Tomb to supervise the repair of the tomb of the Holy Grandfather, after more than half a year of effort, the Tomb of the Holy Grandfather was repaired, and then after the rainy season of last year, there was no leakage and water seepage at all, it can be said that the repair project was done perfectly.

But such a perfect end did not get the emperor's holy decree to summon the king of Hengjun back to Beijing.

At the beginning, An Guogong once wrote a book, saying that the king of Hengjun had worked hard in the imperial tomb for more than a year, and the old disease had recurred, and it was said that the road could not be walked, so he asked the emperor to summon the prince back to Beijing to recuperate. The emperor only approved one sentence: repairing the mausoleum of the Holy Ancestor is the responsibility of the descendants, so why talk about hard work?

As a result, King Hengjun has been staying in the imperial tomb and has not returned to the capital for three years.

Yao Yuanzhi used to think that this was because the emperor didn't want to see King Hengjun, but recently, he felt more and more that this was simply the emperor's attempt to leave King Hengjun out of the matter.

An Guogong is restless, and King Hengjun is their best disguise.

If you want to seize power, it is impossible to roll up your sleeves as a courtier, that is called rebellion. If it is involved with the prince, then it is called Qingjun's side, or King Qin. After the deed is completed, it is also a good name for the country and the people, not a chaotic minister and thief who has been stinking for thousands of years.

King Hengjun is not in the capital, and he has no dealings with the Anguo Mansion, so the Anguo Mansion is greatly restricted. But with the growth of Yunrui in the past two years, King Hengjun is not so important to the Anguo Mansion, and the thoughts that he had to restrain before have gradually been revealed.

Yao Yuanzhi stayed awake all night in the Chonghua Palace, smoothing out all the big and small things about An Guogong, and after the last time, he still put the charge of forming a party for personal gain and plotting against him at the end of the year, and submitted it to the early dynasty.

Unexpectedly, the emperor did not rush to send An Guogong after receiving Yao Ge's recital, but said a few words that were not painful and scattered.

After the dispersal of the dynasty, Yao Yuanzhi returned to Chonghua Hall to rest for a while, but the emperor went to Guanju Palace, where the nobles lived.

Guan Guan Ju Dove, in the river island, fair lady, gentleman.

After Du Ruoqing entered the palace, the emperor ordered someone to clean up the previous Yilan Palace from inside to night, and renamed it Guan Ju Palace, and gave Wan nobles to live with the other two Baolin. Later, Wan Guiren became pregnant, Jin was named Wan Concubine, and the other two Baolin moved out, and this became Wan Concubine's Guan Ju Palace.

In all dynasties, it is not uncommon for concubines to favor the harem, but it is rare to have such an honor as Du Ruoqing and have such an honor as the emperor.

Emperor Jinglong really likes her, she doesn't have the arrogance of the princess, and she doesn't have so many pedantic rules. She is gentle and lovely, like a lily in a deep valley, beautiful, tactful, fragrant, but indisputable with the world.

Emperor Jinglong, who grew up in deceit, lacked nothing and was not rare, except for the temperament of Du Ruoqing.

So knowing that her father Du Yuming was eyebrow-raising with the Duke of Anguo, he still couldn't help liking her, thinking that as long as he could treat her wholeheartedly, she would be able to accompany him quietly, and in this dirty harem, there could be such a clean woman to accompany him, Emperor Jinglong felt that he had to cherish it.

It's just that he still thinks too simply.

No matter how white the lily is, transplanted to this harem that eats people without seeing blood, it is difficult to maintain its original purity.

In the Guanju Palace, Emperor Jinglong sat quietly under the long window, watching Du Ruoqing concentrate on making tea for herself, she was as pure as jade, pinching the humble purple sand Shih Tzu pot, boiling water, brewing tea, ordering milk, dividing soup, and the action was like flowing water, just looking at it quietly was already pleasing to the eye.

"Your Majesty, please." Du Ruo lightly sent a fragrant Ming Qian Longjing to Emperor Jinglong with both hands.

Emperor Jinglong took the teacup, sniffed the tea gently, then smiled slightly, took a sip of tea, and swallowed it slowly.

"Your Majesty, how is the tea made by the concubines today?"

"Good." Emperor Jinglong smiled slightly, raised his hand and put the teacup back.

Du Ruoqing held the pot to add tea to him, and after hesitating for a moment, Fang said in a low voice: "The concubine saw that the emperor looked depressed, but is there anything unhappy?" ”

"It's just those trivial matters of the government, don't talk about it."

"The emperor should take care of the dragon's body." Du Qingruo gently persuaded the emperor a few words, and said: "Last year, when the concubine was still in Jiangnan, I saw the displacement of the flood victims...... That scene is really miserable. ”

The corners of Emperor Jinglong's eyes moved slightly, and he didn't speak.

Du Ruo said lightly and self-consciously, told the emperor about the floods in the south of the Yangtze River, and then sighed: "Natural disasters are unavoidable, and the emperor still has to think about it more." ”

The emperor smiled self-deprecatingly and sighed: "I have been on the throne for three years, and there have been two natural disasters for two years, is it because I have lost my virtue?" ”

"Concubines should be damned." Du Ruo hurriedly put down the teacup, got up and left his seat, and knelt on the ground.

Emperor Jinglong did not call her up for the first time, but asked with a smile: "Ruoqing, what do you want to say today?" You're not a scheming person, so if you have something to say, let's just say it. ”

"Concubine ......" Du Ruo stammered for a long time before he mustered up the courage to say: "The concubine wants to ask the emperor to take care of the dragon body for the sake of our children, don't be angry...... From...... Lightly punish the derelict officials of the Ministry of Labor......"

"How is it an official of the Ministry of Works? Isn't it to let An Guogong go? The emperor sneered faintly.
