Chapter 191: Return to the Child
The meal in the post house is a simple and coarse vegetarian diet, the rice grains are as hard as mud and sand, and after eating a meal, Yuan Lingjun only feels like chewing wax, and his throat is stabbed and painful. But she endured it, because this is a county under the jurisdiction of Chu Huaihou, although there is a profit from the Qin Lou Chu Pavilion, but most of the silver earned goes into Chu Huaihou's treasury, and the people's lives are stretched. In just one meal, she scolded Chu Huaihou no less than ten times.
Yuan Lingjun didn't know that Chu Huaihou, who made the minister grit his teeth with hatred, had already heard the news and rushed towards the pavilion with a few carts of boy men. However, someone came to report that Yuan Lingjun had already been lying comfortably in the carriage on all fours, leaving Chuhuai County. Unsurprisingly, Chu Huaihou pounced on the building.
"Is it his fetish, or is it the lustful name of King Changshan back then that has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people." Yuan Lingjun couldn't help but feel emotional.
On this night, Yuan Lingjun slept exceptionally early, until the second watch was close to the minister's performance, Chu Huaihou sent a messenger, and five beautiful young men accompanied him.
Yuan Lingjun held his forehead, "How can you provoke such a brazen person." ”
Kunjiao dressed her better, and Jiu Wan had already welcomed the messenger into the main room, Yuan Lingjun had not yet fully awakened, and there was a soap-colored hazy figure in front of him, like a phantom.
The messenger knelt down and prostrated his head, claiming that he had been ordered to send five boy men to serve His Majesty. The five people behind him were all covered by hats, and their faces were unrecognizable.
disturbing people's dreams for no reason is to send the boy over, how good can the mood be. Yuan Lingjun yawned and patted a few words, "Since it was sent by Chu Huaihou, let me see the appearance first, at least I must be more beautiful and outstanding than the superior servants in the palace." ”
The messenger said yes again and again, and then said to the five people: "The children take off their hats and let Your Majesty see your faces." ”
The five teenagers took off their hats at the signal of the envoy and knelt neatly in front of Yuan Lingjun. The messenger ordered them to kowtow to His Majesty.
The young men had already understood their destiny to serve the emperor for the rest of their lives, and they couldn't help but tremble all over, and their lips trembled and said words of peace.
Yuan Lingjun twitched the corners of his mouth. Seeing that they were only twelve or thirteen years old, and the youngest was only ten years old, Chu Huaihou was ruthless.
"Okay, I am very satisfied with the gift, Chu Huaihou has a heart."
The messenger took his leave with satisfactory results, and ordered his servants to take five young men down to rest, and then arrange for them to be escorted back to Lin'an after daybreak.
"Your Majesty, what kind of man can't you find in the Jin Kingdom, why bother asking for these stinky dolls. Don't fall victim to the way of the horseman. Lu Yaoxue jumped in, and her tail shook left and right.
"Lu Yaoxue! You're making people dizzy. Yuan Lingjun covered his ears and looked at him, "Shaofuqing, you raise the Son of Heaven, and the money is in your hands...... Tomorrow I will give each of them some taels of silver, and let them go home. ”
"Oh, isn't Your Majesty very satisfied, accepting it and turning around and sending people back?" What the hell are you doing? Lu Yaoxue couldn't understand what she was thinking.
Yuan Lingjun glanced at the darkened sky, "I don't like it now." ”
It's so capricious, the weirdness in the bones of being an emperor still hasn't changed. Lu Yaoxue shook her tail and went to get the silver.
Early the next morning, Lu Yaoxue divided the prepared silver coins into equal amounts, put them in five money bags, and distributed them to the five teenagers, and said earnestly: "Your Majesty gave you the money, take it and go home to live." ”
The youngest child whined and cried, and put the money bag on the ground, "Childe...... Let the villain serve His Majesty. The villain's father and mother said that when they go home, they will still be caught in Qinlou to be a little girl, and there are many brothers and sisters in the villain's family...... If you don't have enough to eat all year round, you will starve to death. ”
The rest of the teenagers also cried, and they threw down their money bags one after another, and kowtowed, "Childe, let the villain serve His Majesty." ”
For a while, the cries came and went, and he didn't listen to the good words and persuasions, which made Lu Yaoxue angry, "What are you crying for, crying in front of the holy car is the crime of killing your head, let alone starving to death, you can be put out and cut down at this moment." ”
The boys were frightened and fell to the ground and did not dare to make a sound.
Finally scared people, Lu Yaoxue wiped her sweat, "Your Majesty and Changshan Jun have a deep relationship, and they don't need your service at all." Looking at their disappointed eyes, he couldn't bear it, "There is not only one way out, the men who go to the palace are either the guards or the eunuchs...... didn't live in the palace, how did you know that the palace was also a hell under the cover of prosperity and splendor. You are still young, and there will be a way out. With this money, Your Majesty has a purpose, and no one can touch you anymore. ”
The teenagers choked silently, and one of them picked up his purse again, kowtowed and exited, and one after another left.
Sending the last teenager away, Lu Yaoxue sighed, "Is it the problem of the world or the fault of the ruler." ”
"Lu Gongzi is also worried about the country and the people, which is rare." Lin Zhen didn't know when he came behind him, "Speaking of Chu Huaihou, the emperor originally intended to get rid of him, so that he could escape by luck." If His Majesty wants to weaken the princes in the future, he should be used as a knife. ”
"Huh?" Lu Yaoxue and others below.
Lin Zhen stroked his beard and smiled, "Is Lu Shaofu going to drink?" Majesty Xià in the guest room, please drink cloudy wine. ”
"What?" After reacting, Lu Yaoxue jumped to the guest room, and complained to Lin Jin, "You guys are so uninteresting, you don't wait for me every time you drink!" ”
It was already three autumns in the neighboring county, the weather was getting colder, there was a doctor carefully recuperated, Fan Guifei of Zhaotai Palace was half of her illness, and she began to preside over the court bureau, deal with government affairs, and also learned the information that Yuan Lingjun was out playing. Yuan Lingjun was not surprised at all, because she was the one who sent the news back to the palace.
At this moment she unfolded a letter in the traveling car, a secret letter from Beisai. The letter said that Pi Liben and other deposed emperors fled into the territory of the Yue clan, because the deposed emperor had helped the Kushan King and the princess of Chongyu of the Kushan Dynasty to return to China, and in order to repay their kindness, they took several old ministers in the country.
After reading, she unhurriedly asked people to invite Lin Jin. Lin Zhen knelt down under the drape, and Yuan Lingjun immediately handed him the secret letter, "Ming Gong, help me take a look." ”
After reading it, Lin Zhen raised his eyes from the silk book, "Pi Liben and others are obviously ill-intentioned, trying to use the banner of 'Hongjia Emperor Zeng Shi'en' to force the Yue clan to lend him troops to destroy the mother country, but His Majesty does not need to worry, the foundation of the Guishan Dynasty is unstable and will not participate in this matter, and the King of Guishan will take in the benefactor at most." ”
"Accepting the rebels is already against our dynasty. This group of white-eyed wolves, it was the soldiers of the Great Jin Dynasty who helped them return to their homeland, not the abolished emperor. Yuan Ling was angry.
"Now is the critical juncture of His Majesty, to fight the south to establish the monarchy, stabilize the north and the people, turn a blind eye, I don't know about it." Lin Zhen folded the silk book, "If they really restore the old emperor, it is impossible to hide there for the rest of their lives." ”
Yuan Lingjun leaned on the window frame, thought about it seriously, and took a breath, "What Ming Gong said is reasonable. Now that I have Yunzhou in my hands, I just wait for General Huyan to retreat from Hetuo, and if there is really any change in the East China Sea, I don't need to scruple about it.
