The recital in King Yi's hand is the secret report of Huizhou's Taishou Qi Wenshan. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info It says that there have been riots in four counties in Zhanzhou, and the king of Taishou cannot survive, and he will suppress it by force and arrest the troublemakers. According to Qi Wenshan, the reason for the riots was that Zhanzhou was too guarded by the people and embezzled the royal money, and the people of Zhanzhou were already miserable.

Emperor Zhou looked at King Yi coldly, "The way of governance? Could it be that what you are discussing is how to bend the law for bribes, prey on the common people, and seek personal gain? ”

"Father!" King Yi knelt down with a "bang", and he hurriedly explained, "Erchen is wronged, we do have correspondence, but Erchen doesn't know that Wang Cun will do such a thing, besides, even if it is a secret report, why doesn't my father send someone to investigate first, and then treat me for the crime of complicity?" ”

Emperor Zhou lowered his eyes, as if he was pondering, and then said: "I have my own arrangements for this matter, you can step down, and after escorting your mother back to the palace tomorrow, you will think about the way of governance in the palace, and you will not have to go to court this month."

"Yes," King Yi gritted his teeth and replied, "The retainers are retired."

Emperor Zhou waved his hand and motioned for him to step down.

After King Yi left, he retreated left and right, leaving only Yuan Yu who bowed to the side, and Qiu Xiao, who was standing solemnly with a knife.

Emperor Zhou thought for a moment, took out a piece of paper, wrote some on the bookcase, rolled it into a small bunch, and asked Qiu Xiao to leave the palace immediately and hand it to Yang Xiao, the hussar general. Qiu Xiao nodded slightly, carefully put it in his pocket, and retreated.

"Yuanyu, go prepare some jade skin cream."

"Yes." Yuan Yu shook his hands and dusted off the dust, and went to the West Pavilion to prepare.

Emperor Zhou did not set up a guard of honor, nor did he lead a group of people to Zhuxuan. Even the Yuan Domain also stayed in the Heart Cultivation Palace. Alone, he went out through the small door of the West Pavilion.

He was the founding emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and if it weren't for Min Chonghou's final abandonment of darkness and Ming, Kuang helped him, lobbied the ministers for him, and cooperated with him inside and outside, he would not have been able to liberate the capital of Xianchen so peacefully.

In the past sixteen years, he has been rectifying the mess that was tossed by Emperor Liu Xuan. Min Chonghou Han Chang is an old minister, and his contribution is indispensable. Now, Han Chang's only daughter, today's Concubine Han, Han Qing's plain clothes are scattered, and she is guilty in front of the palace, which undoubtedly pokes Han Chang's weakness. Han Chang must have been angry with Qi Lin at this time. When he went to visit Qi Lin by himself, he naturally couldn't be blatant, he, the emperor, was not so powerful.

Walk through the Yuehua Gate, go straight all the way, turn to the right, and you will arrive at Zhuxuan.

After stopping the salute of the maid standing outside the door, Emperor Zhou asked softly, "How is Miss Qi?"

"Back to the emperor, after Commander Qiu left, Miss Qi drank a bowl of millet porridge and let us retreat."

Emperor Zhou nodded, pushed open the door and entered.

It's just that the person on the bed seems to be sleeping, he is a little lost in his heart, put the jade skin cream on the side of the bed, and he stands quietly aside and looks at Qi Lin's sleeping face.

But the person on the bed shook slightly, the corners of her mouth were obviously rising, she opened her eyes, smiled brightly, and said, "You still dare to come?" It's going to cause criticism! ”

Emperor Zhou shook his head helplessly, turned around and sat down at the table, and said with a wry smile: "You little conscienceless, I came to see you and laughed at me!"

Qi Lin pouted, thought for a while, and said, "Hmm...... Thank you for the Jade Skin Balm. ”

"I originally invited you to visit the palace, but I let you go around in prison, which was my negligence. But, you... Be mentally prepared to ...... next"

"I'll probably go back to prison next, and even if I am proven innocent later, a punishment is necessary, isn't it?" Qi Lin took Murong Kuo's words and spoke bluntly.

“……”

"The silk painting was destroyed, I am indeed at fault, I have a way to remedy it here, if Concubine Han really can't think of a way, after all, there is only half a month to sacrifice."

"You?" Emperor Zhou was a little surprised at first, under normal circumstances, the innocent was wronged and tyrannized, but now the situation is not clear, this Qi Lin is willing to give advice regardless of his previous suspicions. Later, he smiled self-deprecatingly, "Also, you are not as good as those famous girls, you are very generous." ”

"Concubine Han gambled a lot this time, I don't think it's her handiwork." Qi Lin did not accept Emperor Zhou's appreciation, but threw a big bomb.

"Indeed...... I'll look into this matter carefully, so you can rest first. Emperor Zhou frowned slightly, and his thin lips pursed into a line.

"Okay, Your Majesty, move the car!" Qi Lin covered his head with a quilt and said sullenly: "When the sacrifice is over, I will go back to Huizhou, the palace is not fun."

Emperor Zhou's heart ached suddenly, like an invisible hand pinching the wound in his heart. Many years ago, she was also such a woman, and she said to him sullenly: "I want to go back to Huizhou, the palace is not fun." But I was young and vigorous at that time, so what did I do?

Emperor Zhou said gently, "Okay." And he got up and departed.

He also has to comfort Concubine Han and investigate the case again.

At this time, people must be curious, the so-called companion is like a tiger, whether it is talking and chatting with the emperor or eating and drinking tea, which is not trembling and walking on thin ice.

But Qi Lin is different, she is not an official, and she is not a concubine, and Ben and Emperor Zhou can't fight each other. But she saved his life without knowing Emperor Zhou, and even asked for an apology without shame.

This fate started half a month ago. Half a month ago, that is, on February 17, the 17th year of Tianxing, on the ninth day of the first lunar month, Emperor Zhou secretly traveled and paid a private visit to Weifu. This was a secret tradition that he had since the second year of his accession to the throne.

Because on the eighth day of the first lunar month, the imperial court copied and opened the court, but he did not know what kind of style the local officials in each state had, how many of them were conscientious in their duties, and how many of them were slack and perfunctory.

And his secret tradition is to write down on a slip of paper the sixteen states of the country -- Suzhou, Jizhou, Quanzhou, Dazhou, Xiangzhou, Lingzhou, Dezhou, Huizhou, Huaizhou, Zhanzhou, Jeju, Xingzhou, Xuanzhou, Qianzhou, Qiongzhou, and Fuzhou. Qiu Xiao took the first step to inquire about the news, and he went to confirm Taishou's style.

Generally, such private visits last up to half a month. In the days when the emperor was not in Beijing, there was no early dynasty, and the prime minister, the imperial historian and King Yi, King Jin, and King Yun discussed with the civil and military officials. The result is then presented to the Heart Cultivation Hall in the form of a fold. Of course, since it's a secret tradition, it's something that no one knows. Yuan Yu declared to the outside world that the old diseases left by the emperor needed to be cultivated in the cold spring, and Yuan Yu would copy another copy of the twists and turns presented and send them to Emperor Zhou quickly. Generally, the New Year has not passed, and there is no major event, the only deficiency is that in the past ten years, Emperor Zhou's Lantern Festival has been wandering outside.

There are not many people who know about this tradition, except for Yuanyu, Qiu Xiao and his secret guards are the queen mother and the queen.

Fortunately, this year is Huaizhou Taishou.
