On the right side of the central axis of the imperial city, a palace close to the Daqing Palace, is the place where the emperor usually listens to the government, approves the chapters, reads books or meets the ministers, and is called the Vertical Arch Palace. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoAt this moment, in a window by the window in the side hall of the vertical arch hall, there is a table, and two people are sitting on both sides of the game, one of them is wearing bright yellow clothes, and the other is wearing dark color.

These two people were in the Zhou Emperor Chai Rong, and the Privy Council Envoy Ye Tian. The Privy Council is the highest body in charge of the military, and it was originally established by eunuchs, but due to the shortcomings of eunuchs in their own abilities, after the current emperor ascended the throne, the Privy Council was run by the person he trusted the most.

On both sides of the chessboard, the emperor dropped the sunspots and asked the person sitting opposite with a smile, "Look at your expression, you're tired?" ”

The person on the other side then dropped the white son and said with a smile: "Tired is not tired, it's too cold over there." ”

"The Northern Han Dynasty is a cold land in the north, and it snows most of the year, and now at this time, it is naturally cold. No matter how cold it is, it's time to recover after you've been back for so long. How, what's the catch? ”

Baizi fell on the night and said: "The Northern Han Dynasty is sparsely populated and lacks materials, although the political situation is not stable, but the Northern Han Dynasty belongs to the north and the weather is cold, and this day is their best barrier." When the soldiers of the Zhou State arrived there, I am afraid that they would not be able to adapt to the climate for a while. Moreover, the terrain of the Northern Han Dynasty is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and now with Liao as the aid, it may not be easy to attack it. ”

The emperor removed some white sons from the chessboard and said: "Da Liao has cut off the sixteen states of Yanyun, and he Liu Hao has cut off the twelve states of Hedong that I have, how can I swallow this breath." If it's that easy to deal with, what else do I want you to investigate? ”

"Liu Hao is thoughtful, brave and strategic, not easy to deal with."

"Speaking of thoughtfulness, I think of a person."

Yetian asked curiously, "Who?" ”

Speaking of this, the emperor couldn't help but smile and said, "It's a girl I met when I left the palace, I don't know her identity or where she came from." But this woman is extremely smart, and there are some things that I can't solve, but she can help me solve them. ”

"Oh?" Yetian was even more curious, "That girl is so lucky to be remembered by the emperor?" ”

The emperor looked up at the front, trying to remember how he looked every time he saw her. "I've only seen her twice, but she gives me the feeling that she is like a fairy who has fallen into the mortal world, light and untainted."

I don't know why, Yetian suddenly remembered Moyu, Moyu is such a woman. Could it be that when Moyu entered the city, he accidentally saw the emperor of Weifu? Don't, people like her are too easy to be remembered. "The women of the world are no more beautiful than the girls of spring flowers and autumn moons. Your Majesty, the minister is more interested in the topic of the Northern Han Lord, hehe. ”

The emperor glanced at him, "Oh, by the way, where did you just go?" ”

Ye Tian Youyou said: "Speaking of the Northern Han Lord, like the girl the emperor met, he is a thoughtful and powerful character. ”

Knowing that he deliberately turned the topic back, the emperor said: "No matter how powerful a person is, he also has his weaknesses, and it is easy to find his weaknesses and take him down?" ”

Yetian shrugged his shoulders and said, "But how can a person's weakness be known so easily?" Ay! ”

"If he doesn't say it, then we'll find it ourselves, and find it out without him knowing, and then take advantage of it. Just like this game of chess, your white son seems to be negligent but not leaky, but in fact, I have already found your death hole, but you haven't reacted yet, and by the time you do, it's too late. After finishing speaking, a black son fell, and a white child became a trapped situation, and the victory and defeat were divided.

Yetian pouted, expressing dissatisfaction. "The emperor knows how to bully his ministers, and the ministers know that they are not good at chess. You always throw your drudgery to your ministers, and then you take Sikong Jun with you. ”

"Have you seen Sikong?" Sikong is the only grandson of the old lady Sikong, and when ordinary people call her, they will remove the words behind him, and only read the word "Sikong".

Yetian nodded, "Well, the night I just came back, I happened to meet him in the spring flowers and autumn moon, and we chatted." ”

"You are my privy councillor, and you have to work hard to run the entire Privy Council. However, don't say it, the Wuyan Mountain is really beautiful, not far from the city, you can go and see it, maybe there are azaleas now! "When I think of azaleas, I think of that flute.

The hand of the night sky fell for a moment, and then returned to nature, and said with a smile: "I don't like cuckoos, I still prefer roses and peonies, noble and elegant." ”

The roses are like the raging fire, with the power to destroy the world, tempt you, and then burn you. But what about the cuckoo, sometimes she is bright, sometimes elegant, she just stands there quietly, when you look at her from afar, she will not pay attention to you, you come close to her, she will not be close to you, when you leave her, she will not keep you.

Luozi's hand moved around, and seeing that there was nowhere to put it, Yetian reluctantly put it back in the chess box, "The minister lost again." ”

"You're not distracted." The emperor smiled, "Okay, let's get here first today, you go back first!" ”

Yetian got up, saluted, and then took his leave. "The minister has retired first, and as soon as there is a situation on the Privy Council, the minister will immediately come and report it."

The emperor drank a cup of tea and said, "Well, you also have to hurry up and find out this Northern Han spy for me." Leaving him in Tokyo for a day, I couldn't sleep restlessly. ”

"Yes, I obey. The minister retired. ”

"Go ahead!"

When the night sky came out, it was just the middle of the day. The sun's rays above his head shone straight on him, and the shadow was short. Listen to the melodious sound of a flute in the air coming from the south, the sound of the flute is crisp and pleasant, and it winds around the beam. Looking at the night sky, the bass came from the southeast direction, which was the direction of the harem. Today, she entered the palace?

This is "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix", but this piece should not be played on the flute, and the piano will be more beautiful.

There was a sound of footsteps behind him, and Ye Tian knew who it was, so he turned sideways slightly, and heard the sound of the voice next to him. "This flute sounds good."

Music is played in the palace, and ordinary palace maids and eunuchs cannot play it at will, unless it is a harem concubine. Yetian is a foreign minister, and it is not easy to ask questions and stay any longer, so he bowed down again and said: "The minister retired first." ”

"Hmm."

When he was far away, he heard the eunuch Ma Gonggong, a confidant beside the emperor behind him, say, "Your Majesty, it's time for lunch." ”

It was noon, and it was indeed time for dinner. "Well, by the way, did you reply to the Queen Mother's words?"

Ma Gonggong immediately replied: "How dare the servants of the emperor slack off, I have already told the queen mother." But the emperor, the eldest lady of the Ji family is really a beauty, and when the slave sees it, she really looks like a fairy descending to earth. ”

The Emperor glanced at him. "The person who can get your praise must really be a beauty."

Ma Gonggong immediately realized that he had said the wrong thing, and when the emperor said this, it seemed that he had received some benefit, and he spoke well for that Miss Ji in front of the emperor! Busy diverting the topic, "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother said that no matter how busy you are with political affairs, you have to take care of your body!" Why don't you go to dinner now? ”

"Come in!" The emperor turned around and walked into the study, just took two steps and stopped, the flute sound was melodious, making people feel comfortable, as if they had heard it somewhere.

"Grandpa Ma."

Ma Gonggong, who was following behind, replied, "The slave is here." ”

"Who's playing the flute?"

"The minions don't know either." He manages so many things every day, how do you know which lady in the harem is missing the emperor again.

The Emperor turned around and walked outside the Hall of Desire. "Let's go, let's see."

Ma Gonggong felt that it was inappropriate, and hurriedly shouted: "Your Majesty, you haven't had lunch yet?" "But the person has gone away, and Ma Gonggong has no choice but to follow.

Walk in the direction of the flute, out of the vertical arch hall, and when you reach the imperial garden, the flute disappears, probably the end of the song! Without the sound of the flute, there is nowhere to be found. The emperor stood in the imperial garden, his heart was very irritable, this flute sound was too familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had heard it, if he let him listen to it for a while, he would definitely be able to remember, but the flute was gone.

"Your Majesty, wait for the minions, Your Majesty"

Later, Ma Gonggong came panting, he still had to run when he was old, was it easy? When he saw the emperor standing in front of him, he couldn't help but lie forward, and with a "bang", he had an intimate kiss with the earth. Fortunately, the emperor flashed quickly, otherwise, if he bumped into the emperor, he would have to lose his head.

"Hmm......" Ma Gonggong got up from the ground, stroked his chest, and died of pain. But when I saw the petals scattered all over the ground under my buttocks, my heart hurt even more. "Woo ......"

The emperor looked impatiently at the person sitting on the ground with a distorted expression, "What's the matter?" ”

"Your Majesty, I broke the lady's favorite rose, and she will pierce the minion's heart with a gun." The emperor's old slave is now dead, wow, wow......" Ma Gonggong seemed to see his future fate and cried.

A lot of people are still crying when they are old, relying on the old and selling the old! The emperor was really tired of hearing this cry, "Okay, okay, okay, go back and tell Concubine Shu, saying that I broke it, and Concubine Shu won't do anything to you?" ”

"Really, thank you, thank you, thank you." With the emperor as a guarantee, his life should be saved.

"Alright, throw this flower away, and go back to ...... Flower? ”

The sun was warm that day, and the colorful rhododendrons bloomed all over the mountains. The last time he went with Sikong, the mountain called Wuyan, in the courtyard called "Guiyuan" in the mountain, the flute sounded. That's right, it's the flute.

"Grandpa Ma, go, find out who was blowing the flute just now?"

Ma Gonggong was depressed, the emperor just told him about flowers, and he wanted to go back to the palace, now let him check the owner of the flute, what's wrong with the emperor? She patted the clothes on her body, thinking that being the emperor really said one is two, but he didn't dare to ask, the emperor had to do whatever he wanted, and he didn't ask what he shouldn't ask. "Then the emperor, the old slave is gone, what about you?"

The emperor turned around and walked back. "Of course I'm going back to the Hanging Arch Hall for lunch!"

This is the life of the master and the slave, the master eats, and the slave does things.

In the pavilion in the back garden of Ciming Palace, at the end of the song, Moyu put down the flute and took it.

The Queen Mother opened her eyes and said with a smile: "It's really a good song, Master Ji is worthy of being an important minister of the court, and they all say that there are no weak soldiers under a strong general, he is so loyal, and his daughter is really extraordinary." ”

Mo Yu took another suit and said with a smile: "The Queen Mother has won the award, and for women, these are all things that should be done." The father often taught his daughter to be knowledgeable so that she could better serve her husband in the future. ”

"It's best if you think like that. There are thousands of women in this palace, and there are a few who can really think about their husbands. Everyone is fighting for favor, fame, status, and uniqueness, but they don't know how to make themselves unique. Actually! In this palace, there is no uniqueness at all, and it is a great fortune to have the king take a closer look. ”

The emperor's woman has never been ****, the emperor himself regards his women as the same kind of people, he doesn't know that a woman's uniqueness can only be given by her husband, not to ask women to fight for this title. Mo Yu lowered her eyes, and the sad color under her long eyelashes was revealed, is this her life in the future?

The Queen Mother immediately covered her mouth and yawned, "Okay, I've been with my old woman for a morning, I guess you are also tired!" Go back and rest, if you are free, come and chat with the mourning family. ”

After Mo Yu answered "yes", she got up to say goodbye, and someone led her out of the back garden, and then out of the Ciming Palace.

Outside the Ciming Palace, Yunshang was already waiting at the door, constantly pacing back and forth, and when she saw Moyu, she hurriedly stepped forward and said urgently: "Miss, you finally came out, I'm worried about death." ”

Mo Yu gave Yun Sheng a look, and Yun Sheng immediately closed her mouth in understanding. This is still the palace, and it is in the palace of the queen mother, what is there to worry about, if this is intentionally told to the queen mother or the emperor, the consequences will be very serious.

I walked all the way out again, and it was still morning when I came in just now, and the weather was quite cool. But now it's noon, the sun is poisonous, and as he walks, a thin layer of sweat comes out of Moyu's back. When she arrived at the gate of the palace, she was greatly relieved until she got into the carriage of the Ji Mansion. From the moment she entered the palace gate, her whole body was tense, and she didn't dare to relax for a moment.

Judging from the various actions after meeting the Queen Mother today, the Queen Mother should still be satisfied with her! Although she said something she shouldn't have said smartly, she didn't blame the Queen Mother. It can be seen that at least for half a year, they still need her!

And what about half a year later? Whether to continue to let her stay in the palace, or let her go to the cold palace, or simply give Bai Aya, it's a hundred. Human life, in political struggles, has always been a worthless victim.

Lifting the curtains, Mo Yu looked at the people coming and going outside the window, how good their lives were, simple and fulfilling, and there was no need to think about which words should be said or not, and which people should not be friends.

The carriage drove to the bustling street market, and Mo Yu shouted urgently, "Stop." ”

With a roar, the carriage cushioned forward a few feet before stopping. Mo lifted the curtain and looked at the bustling crowd, searching for the familiar figure.

"Miss, what's the matter?" Yunshang also poked her head out and asked puzzled.

Moyu looked and looked, searched and searched, but still did not find the target, and reluctantly lowered the curtains. "Let's go!" Perhaps, she was mistaken or hallucinated when she thought too much. In the crowd just now, she seemed to see those familiar peach blossom eyes.

"Did Miss see something?" Yunshang asked suspiciously.

"It's like seeing an acquaintance, maybe I'm wrong!"

Come to think of it, he has disappeared for more than half a month! I don't know if she can see him again before she enters the palace?

After Moyu left, in the Ciming Palace.

The Queen Mother sat down with Xiao Anzi's arm and asked, "What do you think of this girl?" ”

Xiao Anzi, who was standing on the side, replied softly: "Back to the Empress Dowager's words, the slave thinks that Miss Ji is smart and lovely, and she is both talented and beautiful, and she will be able to serve the emperor well in the future." ”

"She's good, but she's too good, maybe one day she may become the emperor's weakness, and she's too smart, compared to her sister Jade, the Mourning family prefers Jade, and the women in this palace don't need to be too smart."

Xiao Anzi didn't understand, "What does the Queen Mother mean?" ”

The Queen Mother looked at the white jade flute on the table, which was the one that Mo Yu blew just now, and said coldly: "She can enter the palace, she can become the emperor's concubine, and she can attract the emperor's attention." However, she can't stay in the palace for too long, this person, it's not easy to control. ”

"The Queen Mother is wise."

"The women in this palace, everyone has their own value and their own destiny. Ji Moyu, don't blame the mourning family. ”

Therefore, Moyu can only stay in this palace for half a year, and after half a year, Jade enters the palace, and she is not important.
