(The recent vote-seeking PS is not written by the author, it is a strong X system, the author's kneecaps are not so soft, and his face is not so thick)
Tiandu City, Imperial Palace, Chengming Palace
The fiery clouds on the horizon were in full swing, staining half of the sky of the imperial city red.
Sixi stood guard in front of the door of the hall with his hands in his hands, his white face was solemn, and his slender eyes were slightly squinted, not knowing whether he was admiring the rare clouds or looking at the group of people who were approaching in the distance.
A little eunuch had already trotted over to report the news, Sixi waved his hand slightly with the same expression, his eyes fell on the pedestrian, and a dazzling bright yellow canopy was clustered in a pink skirt, like a swaggering dahlias.
The corners of Sixi's mouth floated a trace of sneer, he recognized this canopy, isn't this the green bat Guanglu Taiping umbrella that Scarlet Ju just entered? It is said that a new waterproof fabric is used in the scarlet house, which is light and thin, and also shades the light and water, and the girl is also a good person.
When the emperor saw it, he said yes again and again, and praised the girl for having a heart. It's just that the emperor himself hasn't used it for a few days before he is taken by that person. Isn't this the reason for taking the lead by composing poems at the early summer group banquet, and taking the opportunity to ask for it as a colorful head, even if the emperor is unwilling in his heart, he can't clearly refuse to give it, so he has to suffer this loss.
And this one is also welcome, it was only given to her yesterday, and today she will show it everywhere.
Sixi snorted lightly from his nostrils, watching the slender figure gradually approach, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a decent smile.
Inside the Chengming Palace.
The emperor was dressed in a purple gold dragon robe, and stared coldly at the kneeling person below.
"Qian Zhangshan, you still dare to come to see me!"
"Return, return to the emperor" Below the kneeling man kneeled on the ground, trembling like chaff, the black veil on his head had been removed, and he was placed on the dragon pattern floor tiles upright, and the dark red official robe on his body was new, but it was the costume of a fourth-grade official: "Sin, sin." Don't dare to deceive the emperor. What the sinner said in the excerpt is true. The criminal minister really couldn't bear to let the emperor be deceived by a traitor, so he risked his life to see the holy face. ”
The Emperor's breathing seemed a little heavy, as if the air in front of him had become something heavy and condensed. Every breath. It would take all his strength.
He opened his lips. But he didn't make a sound, just picked up the fold again, and his fingers trembled slightly over the words: Fengying City Qishui contains a large amount of gold in the upper reaches of the water. The total amount is estimated to be more than one million taels
One million taels of two million taels is gold, the emperor closed his eyes slightly, he, the emperor, is about the poorest one since the founding of the dynasty, spending thousands of taels of silver, you have to think twice, if you have this million taels of gold, how much can you do? The rebellion in the southern Xinjiang, the harassment in the northern desert, the rogue in the river, and the remnants of the previous dynasty will all solve the troubles that made his head want to split.
Suddenly, as if he remembered something, he suddenly turned around and flipped through the folds that had been corrected, and the piles of folds fell to the ground.
"Four joys!" The Emperor called out angrily, "Get out of here!" ”
Qian Zhangshan, who was kneeling below, was drenched in cold sweat, and suddenly heard the emperor's loud shout, and couldn't help but shiver.
A few months ago, Qishui burst the embankment, and he, as the Taishou of a state and the largest parent official in Jindi, was the first to escape from Weining County with a fine soft. He also knew that the parents of one of the state officials had left their posts without permission, and according to the law, they should be punished with death. But after so many years of officialdom, he also knows very well when the royal law can be taken seriously.
He thought that he had been celebrating the New Year for so many years, filial piety, and some personal relations in the court, although his sin was heavy, but he went out to scatter his family wealth, and he was transparent up and down, maybe he could keep this black veil, and no matter how bad it was, he would be demoted and retained. As long as he still has an official body, he has a chance to turn the tables.
It's just that just when he was hiding in a private house in the capital and racking his brains desperately to send money out, he got the news that Shao Feifei had cut off corrupt officials in Jinzhou. Qian Zhangshan was scared into a cold sweat at that time, and he was executed on the spot, and it turned out to be an execution on the spot! Shao Feifei is really bold, he even saved the torture pass, and the dignified court officials, as long as they embezzled the grain, once it was verified, they would be killed, and almost half of the magistrates in Jinju were killed by her!
Qian Zhangshan was still congratulating himself for escaping from Jinju in time one moment ago, and the next moment he was burned down by a few men in black in a private house where he was hiding, but fortunately he spent the night in the outer house of the newly acquired one-room concubine and did not go back, otherwise he would have become a hell dead soul like those henchmen in Jinju at this moment.
Qian Zhangshan realized that the ruthless Lord Shao did not intend to let him go, hid in the room and cried all night, and the next day suddenly turned out the official robe at the bottom of the box, took a fold, carried the only remaining jewels, and went to the palace. From the palace gate to the inner court, the only remaining family wealth was spent before the fold was presented to the emperor.
Fortunately, the ancestors blessed him, the emperor summoned him, and Qian Zhangshan knelt in the Chengming Hall with a heart of nine deaths.
The current emperor has always been moody, he doesn't know if he is betting right, but he is also desperate now, and the dead horse right should be regarded as a live horse doctor.
Outside the temple gate,
Sixi smiled politely, blocked the steps of the gate uprightly, and met the cold gaze below, although his expression was flat, the muscles in his body were unconsciously tensed.
At the foot of the steps, there stood a light and light palace concubine. Dressed in a moon-white wide-sleeved phoenix fairy dress, with begonias on her head and high temples, there is not even a pendant around her waist, only a simple waist seal. Obviously, he just stood there motionless, but his whole body was as sharp as an ice cube.
It's just that it's not a coincidence that the one opposite her is heavier than her, and her mind is deeper than her, so the fierceness of this palace concubine is invisible in the understatement of Sixi.
"Xue Niangniang, look, the emperor called our family, our family has to go in to serve the emperor, and ask the mother to go to the palace to sit for a while? Our family will have to wait for a while before the emperor is empty. Sixi said with a smile on his face.
"It's okay, the emperor is busy, I'll wait here." The pretty face of the snow lady below is as cold as ice, and there is no trace of heat in her voice.
Sixi's eyes turned on the tray in the hand of the maid behind Xue Niangniang, a trace of understanding flashed in her eyes, she owed slightly, turned around and pushed the door of the palace open a crack, flashed in, and quickly closed it.
The snow lady snorted softly, turned around, and the maid on the side looked at her mother's face carefully, and said tentatively: "Niangniang, why don't we go to the palace to rest?" ”
"I'm not tired." Xue Niangniang snorted coldly: "I want to see what is important, I want this dog slave to hide it like this." ”
The maid's face changed slightly, and she glanced at the little eunuch standing not far away in horror, and whispered: "Niangniang, the wall has ears, be careful and cautious." ”
A trace of impatience flashed on the Snow Lady's face, but she didn't say anything more.
