Guys broke the bank, it's really ...... Excuse me......

Dear [Jinghua County Lord] and [15353602611] upgraded to Xie Yuan.

【Acknowledgments】

Hey, I don't know what to say, everyone has seen a lot of Shuangwen women...... In comparison, these two turtles in my family are not on the table.

I know the girls are readers of a lot of romance novels, ahem! Therefore, in the online literature circle, many of the male protagonists and heroines you see are awesome and coaxing, and you will definitely feel that making a country is the same as having fun. But...... I don't want to write so unrealistically. Combined with the historical background and the values of the characters at that time, it was an era in which benevolence, righteousness, morality, and filial piety were more important than life......

If there are any mistakes or omissions, please forgive me for passing them on first and then correcting them!

------Off topic------

"Zhao Nineteen, I offended your ancestors, but I was scared to death......"

Xia Chuqi's chest was in a hurry.

"Little slave, do you miss your master?"

The man was still silent, just a few steps by the bed, suddenly a leap pounced, as if he could see in the dark, he quickly clasped her wrist, the dagger was snatched by him, "clang" fell to the ground, without waiting for her to struggle, he hugged her tightly in his arms, a cold face with night dew, pressed down and stuck to her face, a heavy breath, it was him ~ a ~ this ~ read ~ novel ybdu magnetic low smile.

"Who? If I don't say anything more, I'll call someone. ”

She asked, but the man didn't answer her. But the footsteps did not stop, step by step, unhurried towards the bed, the footsteps were so light that almost no sound could be heard. Xia Chuqi shouted again, but when he didn't see the man respond, his heart tightened, and his hand touched the dagger under the pillow......

"Are you willing to come?"

Her heart was "pounding" and beating, but she hadn't seen it for just a few days, but she felt that the thought was like taking root, blushing, heartbeat, dry mouth, dry tongue, and her body was even hotter, as if she had never seen a man, staring at the door stupidly without blinking.

The door without a latch was pushed open with a "squeak".

I don't know how long it took......

Unhappy to brush away the rose cake, she lay down on the bed angrily.

But it's very unfortunate, the one on the left, the one on the right, etc., it's quiet in the dead of night, don't talk about Zhao Shijiu, there is not even the slightest shadow of a ghost...... She was so angry in her heart. What else did the thing say that he would sneak to see her in two days, and what happened? Look at the yarn, people are missing.

Humming a little tune, she carried the rose cake back to the house and waited by the window.

If you don't come tonight, my sister will give you a meal next time.

If you come today, my sister will give you a rose cake.

A woman like my sister who can go up to the hall, fight in the kitchen, climb over the fence, and beat hooligans, where do you find it?

Zhao Nineteen, Zhao Nineteen!

She has made a rose cake once, with a foundation, this time it is even more familiar, especially under the guidance of Mrs. Liu in the kitchen, it is even more exquisite, and when the rose cake comes out of the pot, looking at the seven small pastries lying there, she can't help but feel a little proud.

Xia Chuqi was happy in his heart, rolled up his sleeves and got started.

There is a small kitchen in Jingyi Garden, which is mainly used by ordinary girls and mothers-in-law to open a small stove for the county lord. When the three of them touched it, there was only one mother-in-law guarding it.

"Rose cake!"

With a light "shhh

"Do what?"

"Let's go, follow me to the kitchen."

"County Lord, my nose ......" Meizi touched her nose aggrievedly and complained.

She stopped suddenly, almost knocking the nose of Meizi, who was following her, crooked.

After eating dinner depressed, she took Qinglan and Meizi for a walk in the garden to eat, walking around boredly, and suddenly her mind flashed. Zhao 190,000 is really coming? She's got to get him something, right?

She has already expressed that she "misses deeply", how can he be indifferent?

The ancestors are stilted, Zhao Shijiu, you are ruthless.

The letterbox on its feet was gone, but it didn't bring her a word.

In less than half an hour, the pony returned.

Seeing its posture beautifully swept past the building of the Zhu Liang painting of the Chengguo Mansion and flew in the direction of the Jin Palace, she couldn't help but sigh and smile. If the Metropolitan Governor of the East knew that his Jinyiwei's pigeon had surrendered and become the "love pigeon" between her and Zhao Shijiu, I wonder if he would be so angry that he would cry at home?

Holding the pony by the window, with a wave of his hand, the pigeon flew away.

"Go ahead, you try the voyage first, remember to come back and accompany me."

After writing and getting caught up in the letterbox, she laughed out loud, smoothed the pony's feathers, and squeezed her eyes at it.

"I miss your smile, I miss your coat, I miss your white socks and the smell of you...... Ahem, the above is all a joke, I just miss your silver, can you bring someone to bring the silver tonight, and spend a while in Jingyi Garden? ”

A person held her cheeks and thought about it, her eyes were "swishing" and glowing, and she had to ask Meizi to polish the ink for her, lie on the table, and write a line with her unique style of "modern ancient characters".

Naturally, the pony won't answer her.

"Goo-Goo......

"Hey, pony, if I tie a letter to you too, can you fly to Zhao Nineteen?"

"Poof", she sniffed, smiled very helplessly and spit out the apple, thinking that this Zhao Shijiu really knew her, how could he know that she was fighting those dowry ideas? After thinking about it, her sly eyes flickered slightly, and her fingers poked the pony's sharp beak vigorously, asking it.

"The dowry should be used for the wedding, and it should not be stolen."

Biting on the apple, she quickly removed the letter from the pony's feet and unfolded the note inside, with only a line of vigorous and powerful small letters on it.

She whispered it, her eyes sparkling, and she felt the novelty tight.

"Wow, the Pigeon Biography?"

Xia Chuqi disliked the ink on its body, and was about to throw it away, when he saw a letterbox tied to its left foot.

After a moment's hesitation, she shouted in surprise and stretched out her arm. The pony had been raised by her for a while, so he knew her, flew over and landed on her arm, and pecked her hand after two cooings.

"Hey, pony ......"

She bites the apple for a moment.

Just when she was thinking about it, her eyes lit up, but she saw a black pigeon flying in from the window, and the ink on the pigeon seemed to be freshly painted, and it looked like a small piece of charcoal sitting on the window.

Back in Jingyiyuan, she lay on the soft couch, gnawed on the big apple, stilted Erlang's legs, and began to proudly calculate how much she could put into the account this time, or exchange all the things that were not needed for silver?

I was tired of counting the gifts, but the seventh day of the summer was very comfortable.

However, in their opinion, they all think that this Jingyi County Lord was exiled in the early years, suffered a lot, and never saw anything good, so he would see anything rare.

Meizi followed closely behind Qinglan, opened her mouth slightly, glared at her eyes, smiled "Huh", and said nothing. There's no way, she has long understood Xia Chuqi's greed for money, but Qinglan was stunned when she first arrived, and as for the girls and women in the back, their expressions were even more exaggerated.

"Hey, you're asking a strange question." Xia Chuqi was very busy, touched the raw yarn and touched the satin, and smiled so unhappily, when he saw Qinglan coming in, he crossed his waist and glared at her, "Aren't these things for me to get married?" Why don't I take it apart first, if someone adjusts my bag, won't I suffer a big loss? ”

As soon as Qinglan entered the door, she saw the things in the house that had been demolished by her, and she had a headache.

"Hey, my county lord, why did you open all the gift boxes."

There are all gift boxes with red silk all over the ground, and she is a little depressed when she sees her dazzling eyes, if these things can be brought back to modern times, how can she be a little rich woman, right?

She sighed.

Sigh......

The banquet for the officials in front of her was very lively, but she sneaked to look through the ceremonies.

She was actually very curious, but she was not allowed to go and watch.

I have to say that the old emperor also gave enough face to Zhao Zhu and enough face to the Chengguo Mansion. This day, seriously, is a good day for the seventh day of the first summer month. But in fact, she really couldn't put her hands in at all. The officials who came to the front to be respectful, naturally Cheng Guogong and Yuan You went to entertain, and the backyard was ...... Nothing.

It's just a prologue to a big wedding with a name, and the cumbersome etiquette in it is dumbfounded. There was a commotion inside, and outside the door of the Chengguo Mansion, there were also ordinary people on the third floor and the outer three floors watching the excitement.

"Four stones of white cooked rice, sixty bags of noodles ......"

"Jujube Erhe, Chestnut Erhe, Walnut Erhe, Wood Bullet Erhe......"

"One hundred and twenty bottles of wine, one hundred and twenty round cakes, and twelve bags of tea......

"Six North Sheep, Four Pigs, Twenty-eight Geese......"

"Two taels of goldenrod rouge, twenty bags of lead powder......"

"Four horses of big red Luo, four horses of raw yarn, and one hundred ...... rouge"

"Six hundred taels of silver, forty horses of silk of various colors, forty horses of silk......

"Sixty taels of gold, ten taels of pearls......"

"Two horses of Xuanxuan silk, one horse of Xuan, one horse of Xuan......"

When everything was done, the ceremonial officer began to salute—

In the main hall of the house, a big incense case was set up, and when the main and deputy envoys of the wedding ceremony arrived outside the palace gate, it was a ritual arrangement. The honor guard of the brocade guards was divided into two sides and began to play a big music, the "Caiyu" was placed in the center, the chief and deputy envoys of the salute entered, and the deacons carried the gifts into the main hall one by one. A ceremonial officer entered the main hall first, and the position of the standing was also very particular, and he had to stand on the east side of the main hall. And Xu Wenlong, the prince of Liang Guo, who is married today, is wearing court clothes and stands on the west side of the main hall.

Early in the morning, the façade of the house had already been decorated, and the red silk cloth was tied to the lintel.

On the other hand, the Chengguo Mansion is also very lively.

A scene like this was only seen by the common people in the year of the prince's wedding.

The whole scene was extremely complicated, attracting all the cities in the city to wait and see.

In terms of etiquette, there are special envoys and deputies. The two of them bowed to each other, and the Honglu Temple saluted again. After the performance was over, the group came out of the left gate of Fengtianmen, and the deacon took the head and carried the dowry fish out. The main and deputy envoys placed the temperance book in the collection, the honor guard of the brocade clothes played the precursor of the music all the way, all the ceremonial officials wore auspicious clothes, accompanied by horses, along the way, the Honglu Temple guide will loudly tell the people, it is to go to the Chengguo public house to carry out the ceremony.

The content of the will is almost the same, "Fengtian carrier, the emperor system said: I hereby choose the daughter of the Chengguo A.D. Hongchou as the nineteenth son of the emperor's concubine, and I have told the ancestors of the Taimiao to know, and now I am ordering Qing and others to hold the festival to collect the gift of asking for names......"

The herald announced loudly at the Mukdengate of Heaven.

Ceremony ......

What a grand event.

Early this morning, the handsome captains of the brocade guard of honor set up a book in the Dan Majesty Danqi, set up by the Ministry of Rites, and the teaching workshop played a big music, and the group of people all gathered outside the Fengtian Gate, and the momentum was extremely huge. In order to show solemnity, Emperor Hongtai personally wore a very grand crown to visit Fengtianmen, and hundreds of civil and military officials wore court clothes and kowtowed at the same time......

Since yesterday, it has been told to the Taimiao, Zhuwen, Honglu Temple officials are also in the Fengtian Temple to set up a throne, the internal officials and officials of the Ministry of Rites will be Nacai to ask the name of the gift placed under the building, has already been prepared.

Emperor Hongtai had already made a decree early, because the nineteenth son of the emperor, King Zhao of Jin, had a high mountain view, and made outstanding achievements, and gave a wedding gift in accordance with the etiquette of the crown prince.

Even the common people attach great importance to it, not to mention the six rites of the prince, which are even more grand. On this day, even God gave His Royal Highness the King of Jin enough face, and before the end of the day, the entire Jingshi City was already bathed in a bright sunshine, and even the haze caused by the "mutiny" seemed to be blown away by this unprecedented gift.

Na Cai asked for his name, which is the prelude to the "six rites" of marriage matching......

This day is the auspicious day for the accountant of Qintian.

It was February 28 of the 25th year of Hongtai.

Three days later.

However, Chengguo Gongyuan Hongchou has not given birth in his life, and there has never been a happy event in the house. Although Xia Chuqi is not their biological daughter, the Chengguo Mansion has also done enough for her, and she is extremely extravagant, and there are a lot of dowries that she should have. Gold and silver jewelry, crown hat dresses, hairpin ring jewelry, bedding pillows, everything is exquisite and auspicious. Up and down in the house, I was so happy all day long, especially the Duchess Chengguo, just like she really married her daughter, she was very busy all day long, and she did everything herself.

According to the regulations of this dynasty, the prince's wedding does not need to buy anything in the woman's home, and when it comes to etiquette, there will naturally be people from the Zongren Mansion, the Ministry of Rites, and the Honglu Temple to worry about.

Whether it is the follow-up of the mutiny, or Chen Daniu's personal affairs, for a "deep girl" like Xia Chuqi, half a finger can't touch it. Although she felt a little sad for Chen Daniu, her hands were not so long, and all she had to do now was to prepare for a future princess of Jin.

……

……

What kind of bandits dare to rob Ding'anhou's family?

Other people didn't kill them, but they killed Chen Daniu's daughter-in-law who didn't pass through the door?

The more I listen to it, the more uncomfortable it becomes, how can it be so coincidental?

While the two of them were talking, Xia Chuqi had been silent.

After thinking about it for a while, Yuan You first arranged for the captain to hurry back to settle Chen Daniu's family, and then got up, and hurriedly asked people to change his clothes, and went to the prison to see Chen Daniu.

But now, this is what happened......

Chen Daniu's matter, Yuan You knows best. Seriously, it is not necessarily true that Chen Daniu has any feelings with that township daughter-in-law, he joined the army in his teens and has never returned home. The woman was from the neighboring village of his hometown, and she was a close friend of Xiaoding, but the two of them had never even met each other. However, Chen Daniu is a man with affection and righteousness, and he did not abandon the chaff after he was made a marquis, and even rejected the marriage pointed out by the old emperor for him in court.

"Fuck it!"

With a long exhale, Grandpa Yuan closed his eyes tightly.

The lieutenant swallowed his saliva and shook his head, "General Zuo is in prison and has not come out yet, and his subordinates have not been able to inform him, so he is also anxious, so he has to come to report to General Right." Now, General Zuo's family members have all been settled in the Ding'an Hou Mansion. But this happy event turned into a funeral...... I really don't know how to explain to General Zuo......"

"Does General Zuo know about this?"

"Ah", Grandpa Yuan sat up on the ground, and his back was cold.

The captain's eyes turned red, "Yesterday, I went to greet the general's family with General Zuo, but ...... But I didn't wait, and then the battalion mutinied, General Zuo left first, and he took a few people with him, and he stayed until late at night, and then waited for the brother who went to Qingzhou Mansion to pick up General Zuo's family...... They said that on the way to Beijing, they were robbed by a gang of robbers, and the brothers fought hard, but General Zuo's new daughter-in-law did not pass the door. Or was stabbed to death by a thief......"

Yuan Yu leaned on the bed, his face sank, "What happened?" ”

"Right general, it is not good to do things in a humble position......"

As soon as the others entered the house, before they walked to Yuan You's bed, they "fluttered" and knelt down, their faces were pale, and their tone was a little choked.

The person who came was wearing light armor and was a lieutenant in the Golden Guard.

These days, it will certainly not be calm.

As soon as he heard that the big thing was not good, Xia Chuqi was guilty of a diaphragm in his heart.

"General Right, it's a big deal......"

At the beginning of the summer, he was about to refute him, and someone outside came to report.

With a "huh", Grandpa Yuan was about to get up, "You're looking for a fight, right?" Who am I? I'm a brother now, do you talk to my brother like this? These days, the etiquette and etiquette that my mother let you learn have all been eaten in your stomach? ”

Xia Chuqi smiled, "But I just won't tell you." ”

With a light "um", Grandpa Yuan nodded as if he was pecking rice.

Xia Chuqi squinted slightly, "You want to know?" ”

Yuan You was silent for a moment, and slowly gave him a thumbs up, "Little cousin, you are really not simple. You said that you are a woman, how can these intrigues in the court be analyzed clearly? ”

"See what I do? Weird and scary! ”

Xia Chuqi was a little hairy by him.

She sighed weakly, but Yuan You stared at her and didn't say a word.

"Analogy! Don't mind...... I want to say that the left and right generals of this Golden Guard Army are useless. I'm afraid that next, there will be a large number of personnel scheduling, and I'm afraid that the wind and rain are coming. How many people are involved in the mutiny? In my opinion, when your leg is healed, when you go back, the generals in that camp will be exchanged for your own mother. ”

The corners of his lips twitched slightly, and Xia Chuqi gave him a smile that was not worth his life.

"Stop, stop, stop!" Yuan Yu glared at her angrily, "Is my leg broken?" ”

"It makes sense, you said that this left general was imprisoned, and your right general's leg was broken again......"

Listening to this analysis, Xia Chuqi also nodded.

Grandpa Yuan scratched his head and lay back again, "too!" I just don't know if the fool is in prison, will he suffer? Ay! These people are obviously going to break Tianlu's arm......"

"Otherwise, what do you think?"

Pouting and thinking about it for a moment, Xia Chuqi looked up at him.

"Damn, that's it?"

When Xia Chuqi heard these news, he was in Yuanyou's house. These two yen Yu's body is much better, and he can already get out of bed and walk around, but when it comes to these things, he still has a handsome face and looks a little gnashing of teeth.

But no one knows who has benefited and who has won.

The incident seems to have subsided......

In addition, although the law does not hold the public accountable, the person who took the lead in making trouble that day still arrested more than 300 people, and will be dealt with according to the severity of the crime after screening.

How can the majesty of the emperor be touched? After giving food and money, Emperor Hongtai immediately dismissed Chen Daniu, the left general of the Jin Guard, from his post and put him in prison for review on the grounds of "disloyalty and negligence".

But the matter is far from over.

The uproarious "mutiny" is over.

But the emperor came in person and fulfilled his promise, which still appeased the morale of the army.

The thirty rods were extremely severe, especially for a Xia Tingde, who had been dehydrated from hunger, and the rod punishment was almost fatal. It is said that when Xia Tingde was carried out of the camp on the outskirts of Beijing, the whole person was blurred with flesh and blood, and he was no longer human.

Thirty scepters were executed on the spot.

Emperor Hongtai, who had not been wearing military uniforms for a long time, wore battle armor, rode a tall horse, wore a long knife at his waist, and heroically led a dozen guards to the camp on the outskirts of Beijing alone. When he saw Xia Tingde who was tied to the firewood, he lost his temper on the spot, reprimanded Xia Tingde fiercely, and asked the chamberlain to announce his punishment - because of Wei Guogong's inappropriate words and deeds, he withdrew the right to lead the troops, thirty military rods, and a fine of one year.

Early the next morning.

……

……

The emperor is also a human being, and he is also a man......

The old servant sat down on his knees again, and thumped his legs for him lightly and heavily.

After Cui Yingda finished speaking, as soon as he looked up, he saw the sadness in Emperor Hong Tai's eyes.

"Yes, the old slave is guilty—"

Emperor Hong Tai didn't seem to want to mention that incident, so he glanced at him and snorted coldly, "Cui Yingda, this time I will spare your dog's life, if you dare to talk nonsense again, I will send you to the direct palace to sweep the floor." ”

"Shut up!"

dragged on without finishing speaking, Cui Yingda snorted for a long time, although he didn't see Emperor Hongtai angry, he still didn't dare to go deeper, but just said the main point, "The old slave knows His Majesty's concerns, but the old slave thinks that among His Majesty's many princes, His Royal Highness the King of Jin is the most like Your Majesty......"

"Yes, it is precisely because the old slave understands that I want to persuade His Majesty......" Cui Yingda kept bowing and did not dare to raise his head, "The old slave knows His Majesty's heart knot, but what happened back then, although she was a concubine, although she was ......"

"Cui Yingda, you have been following me for all these years, you should understand my thoughts."

With a light "snort", Emperor Hong Taidi closed his eyes again, and didn't seem to blame him.

"The old slave doesn't dare-" Cui Yingda's heart beat wildly, and he kowtowed a few more times, "Every word the old slave said was for the sake of Your Majesty." These days, for the sake of the establishment of the prince, Your Majesty is restless at night, and you don't know the taste of food, and the old slave serves your diet and daily life every day, how can you not know Your Majesty's hard work and sadness? It is precisely because of this that the old slave is more worried about Your Majesty's body. ”

"You're so daring! How dare you interfere in my government? ”

Emperor Hong Tai snorted heavily, and opened his eyes sharply.

"Choi Young-da!"

Cui Yingda wanted to speak and stopped, as if he thought about it for a while, before he had the courage to say, "According to the old slave's humble opinion, His Royal Highness the King of Jin is indeed a person who can take on great responsibilities, Your Majesty, the foundation of the eternal world that you have worked hard to create, must want to continue from generation to generation, and create a prosperous scene......"

"Getting to the point." Emperor Hong Tai half-closed his eyes.

Cui Yingda looked at the emperor's face, and without waiting to speak, he first knelt down with a "plop", "The old slave has been serving Your Majesty for decades, and the princes and grandchildren have all grown up under the watch, Your Majesty has always been generous to the old slave, and the old slave is very grateful." It's just that these days, the old slave sees that His Majesty is anxious every night, and his hair is a lot grayer, and the old slave really feels sorry for His Majesty......"

Hong Taidi's mood was not very high, "Say! ”

"Your Majesty, the slave only has a word, I don't know whether to say it or not."

After a busy night, Emperor Hong Tai was already a little tired, and on the dragon chariot with some sandalwood fragrance, he half-closed his eyes in an uncertain mood, and quietly went out of his mind. The old eunuch Cui Yingda squatted at his feet and beat his legs for him one by one. It took a long time to hear him whisper.

The night breeze was cool, and Zhao Zhu didn't answer for a long time.

"If you have a chance, go and see your mother."

With a cold snort, Emperor Hong Tai raised his sleeves and feet, stepped on the back of the little eunuch, and got on the dragon chariot, however, the dragon chariot had just walked a few steps, and he suddenly lifted the curtain again, looking at Zhao Zhu who was standing below, and there seemed to be some worry between his eyebrows.

"Innuendo! It's all up to you. ”

This sentence was asked a little sharply, but Emperor Hong Tai did not attack.

Zhao Zhu only said that he didn't dare, lazily pursed his lips, and said, "It's a good thing for a doctor, if you accidentally fall into a place where you die without a place to be buried, it will be more than worth the loss." The father thinks that what the son said is not right? ”

"Shut up!" Emperor Hong Taidi glared at him angrily, "What do you mean by three long and two short, you talk like this?" Isn't that a curse on your mother? ”

"Father, a doctor can only heal people, not lives. The last time Chu Qi healed the crown prince, he almost died, and Erchen didn't dare to let her enter the palace easily. Unless you promise your son first, if the queen mother has three long and two short, you must not ......"

The corners of his lips lifted slightly, and Zhao Zhu examined him for a moment and frowned.

"Take her into the palace to see your queen mother and sister."

"What does Father mean?"

Facing his calm rhetorical question, Emperor Hong Tai stared at him intently, "Old Nineteen, I asked you about this matter today, not to hold her responsible. Instead, he knew that Chu Qi was quite insightful in medical theory. You know, in the past two days, your mother's health has become worse and worse, and your sister Ziyue has never woken up, the imperial doctor said, if it weren't for the prescription left by Chu Qi, I was afraid that it would ...... It has long been impossible to save her life. ”

Zhao Jun frowned slightly, "Didn't you let her die from your father?" Died at the pen of the historian. ”

Emperor Hong Tai snorted, "Still playing tricks in front of me?" ”

Zhao Zhu's face darkened slightly, "Didn't you die in the fire of the heavenly prison?" ”

"Where is your Chu Qi now?"

After that, he took another sip of tea with satisfaction, and said that the hour was not early, and he had to get up and leave. Zhao Zun didn't keep it, he came out of Chengde Courtyard and sent him to the door. However, before leaving, Emperor Hong Tai retreated from the crowd and suddenly suppressed his voice again.

"Old Nineteen, I have never missed you. Then, in that case, I will do as you say. ”

After listening to him, Emperor Hong Taidi's face was completely relaxed and he smiled loudly.

Zhao Jun pursed his lips, and analyzed briefly and neatly, "To solve the bell, you still need to tie the bell, father, you are a Ming monarch, what is the combination of grace and power, naturally you know better than your son." You only need to go to the outskirts of Beijing in person and punish Wei Guogong in front of all the soldiers, and the morale of the army will naturally be stable. In the final analysis, the soldiers were just for a breath, and they didn't really want to rebel against the court. You are the king, and your appeasement is the most useful. ”

Looking at him appreciatively, Emperor Hong Taidi nodded, "Then in your opinion?" ”

Zhao Zhu's eyes were silent for a moment, "This matter has to be solved by my father and the emperor himself." After that, seeing that Emperor Hongtai's face darkened, he said lightly, "Father, it's not that the sons and daughters are unwilling to mediate. The reason why the previous three times of resisting the decree and calling the illness was precisely for the sake of your father. Think about it, if the military mutiny, if the sons come out to suppress it, where is your majesty to your father? Doesn't it make the world laugh at it? ”

"Does Old Nineteen have a good plan for this?"

A few words full of deep meaning are over, and a ridiculous finger marriage is over. Glancing at each other, the father and son said a few more words, and Emperor Hongtai told Zhao Zhu about the current situation of the camp on the outskirts of Beijing, and then frowned and asked.

"Thank you, Father."

Without the slightest surprise, Zhao Jun raised his eyes and bowed.

"Then I will call the shots and grant your request."

Staring at his calm face, Emperor Hong Tai looked at it for a while and sighed heavily.

"The queen mother is there, and the sons will explain."

"That's it. Originally, I resisted Hu Feng, especially the bad habit of accepting stepmarriage. For the sister-in-law marrying the brother-in-law, it is indeed a mess, and I don't agree with it. But you also saw your mother's request that day. Over the years, she has been worried about the matter of breaking up you and the Dongfang clan back then, and she has a knot in her heart, but I am afraid that she will be disappointed when she knows this. ”

Looking at him without a look, Emperor Hong Taidi seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, looking at his steady and handsome figure reflected in the light, he couldn't help but squint his eyes in amazement, and sighed helplessly.

"The son has no ambitions, he just wants to live his life."

Flicking his sleeves and lightly lifting the teacup, Zhao Bottle smiled bitterly.

"Old nineteen, the eldest husband should not only make immortal achievements with a three-foot sword, but also have countless beautiful flowers, that is happiness. You are a dignified and martial general, and you only have one wife, which will inevitably make the world criticize and laugh at you for eternity. ”

Emperor Hong Taidi looked at him with deeper and deeper gazes.

"When the son was in the palace when he was young, he saw that the concubines of the six palaces were bloodless and fighting for the favor of the king, even if they were a holy monarch like you, the emperor, wouldn't they be just as powerless? Therefore, the sons and daughters privately thought that it was enough to have a good wife in this life! ”

Zhao Jun squinted slightly, looking directly at Emperor Hong Tai, and there was no bottom in his dark eyes.

Emperor Hongtai looked at him, "Father knows that the Dongfang Clan has wronged you by promising the boss. But I practice monogamy, and saying that it is a side concubine is just to give the Dongfang family a face, but it is just a concubine. After entering your Jin Palace, she wants to get into your eyes, so you will go a few more times, if you can't get into your eyes, just hang it aside, why do you insist so much? ”

Zhao Zhu's eyebrows were slightly raised, and his eyes were obscure, "Yes." ”

Emperor Hong Tai looked at him and sighed to himself, "Na Dongfang's side concubine?" ”

"Erchen wants to ask his father to take back his fate!"

There was silence for a long time before he spoke lightly.

This sentence changed too quickly and urgently, and ordinary people must not understand what he meant. But between the father and son, who doesn't understand that each other has a plan in his heart? Zhao Zhu glanced at him, his cool face was immersed in the flickering lights, and the emotions between his eyebrows were also bright and extinguished, and he couldn't see it at all.

"Then if you don't mediate, what do you want?"

Emperor Hong Taidi nodded, but there was no relief in his eyes, only sadness.

"Erchen understands."

Zhao Zhu's dark eyes shimmered, flashing with a coolness like ice and snow.

After a pause, he took a sip of tea, looked at Zhao Zhu's expressionless face, and sighed again, "The reason why I took back your military power is that you also know it in your heart, not because I can't trust you, but to protect you." If a person has too much power, the court will inevitably be unbalanced, which is also bad for you. I am the Son of Heaven, to put it nicely, I am rich all over the world, and the world is in my hands, but the undercurrent of the court has never stopped, and many things cannot be balanced and influenced by the power of one person. Old Nineteen, do you understand my painstaking efforts? ”

Emperor Hong Taidi looked at him, the emotions in his eyes were up and down, "Old Nineteen, now it's just you and me, father and son, there is no need to be polite, and there is no need to hide it." Let's tell you the truth, above the court, the battle for the storage position is becoming more and more intense, forming parties one by one for personal gain, and eliminating dissidents, these are not good things for Jiangshan Sheji. Throughout history, all of them have shaken the country's foundation. The mutiny in the camp on the outskirts of Beijing is obviously a deliberate attempt to provoke the relationship between you and my father and son. I know very well in my heart that you have made great contributions to the battlefield for the sake of Dayan Sheji. ”

"My father is too worried, and the number of capable people in the court is doubled, which is my blessing!"

His eyes deepened, and Zhao Yu's voice sank.

"Old Nineteen, I knew that you were unwell, but I still ordered you to go to the suburbs of Beijing to mediate, and I did wronged you, but ......" After a pause, Emperor Hongtai's old face was full of emotions, as if he had some feelings, and the weathered folds were much deeper, "I am old, and I can't do many things. But there are too few people who can share their worries in the court! Old Nineteen, this great Yan Jiangshan will need your assistance in the future. ”

"If my father has something, just say it clearly."

Zhao Jun was silent for a moment, and responded lightly and heavily.

Stroking his beard, Emperor Hongtai's eyes sank slightly, and he sighed, "I heard that your head wind has recurred, and I am also very worried." But the mutiny in the camp on the outskirts of Beijing came too suddenly, and I was so anxious that I couldn't spare time to look at you for a while. Now I have come here to visit the sick and to discuss with you. ”

There was no wave in Zhao Zhu's eyes, "Erchen knows." ”

"Old Nineteen, you should know what I'm here for tonight?"

A few inconsequential words were recounted amicably, and the atmosphere between father and son was very warm, as if the "mutiny" in the suburbs of Beijing had never happened at all, until Emperor Hong Tai introduced the topic to today's business.

Zhao Zhu only said "don't dare", and introduced Emperor Hongtai into the main hall of Chengde Academy. Without waiting for him to say hello, Zheng Erbao had already sensibly brewed good tea, made a worship salute, and led the attendants to retreat. In the spacious and somewhat empty main hall, only father and son remained.

Emperor Hong Taidi raised his hand and shouted "get up", and when he looked at Zhao Zhu, his face was full of loving smiles, "Even if your body is inconvenient, how can you come out?" You lie down, I walk a few more steps, what's the matter? ”

Among smart people, there is no need to talk too much.

"Son-in-law, see father!"

At this point, the Jin Wang's Mansion is very quiet. Emperor Hong Tai, who came on foot, did not wear a dragon robe, but just dressed in civilian clothes, and looked like an ordinary old man in good spirits. Walking in the direction of Chengde Courtyard, he had not yet been admitted to the hospital, so he saw Zhao Tuo leading a few people waiting at the gate of the courtyard.

"No need! Let's go out and greet you. ”

Slowly getting up, he flicked his sleeves and made a silhouette on the ground.

Sure enough, Zhao Jun was not surprised.

Long live the Lord here? Zhao Jun didn't have any expression, but he scared Zheng Erbao enough. He had always known that his master and son had no last resort, but thinking of what he said earlier, Zheng Erbao was already shocked, could it be that his master and son had already known that Long Live would come at night?

"Your Highness, long live the lord has come to the house! Do you want to go to bed first? ”

The person who came in was Chen Jing, he glanced at Zhao Zhu who was sitting on it, and his voice was slightly raised.

Zheng Erbao's eyelids jumped, and he was about to play with it again, when there was a sound of footsteps outside.

The wick "snapped" and exploded.

Who is it to come? Zheng Erbao was just a eunuch, so naturally he wouldn't know, and he didn't dare to ask carefully. Just respectfully refilled the water for his master, and stood quietly to the side, watching those blacks and whites that he never understood swinging around on the chessboard, and really couldn't figure out what this thing meant, how it could attract his master to ponder when he had nothing to do.

There was not much emotion on his face, and he didn't look up, but said lightly, "Wait for the person who should come." ”

Zhao Zhu's gloomy face flickered in the light.

"It's the third watch, what are you waiting for, Your Highness?"

After thinking about it, he had to remind him tactfully.

Zheng Erbao sighed in his heart, feeling a little sorry for his master. But he has been waiting for his grandfather all these years, how can he not know his temper? He said wait, who can drag him to the bed?

What are you waiting for?

"Wait."

Zhao Zhu seemed to be immersed in the chess game he had laid out, and his brows were furrowed.

"Your Highness, it's night, it's time for you to rest."

Zheng Erbao fiddled with the wick, glanced at the figure that had been immobile from beginning to end, sighed in his heart, and walked over cautiously, and whispered in a thin voice.

Jin Wangfu.

The royal driver didn't go fast, but every time the wheel turned, it seemed to exude a kind of nervousness about the mountain rain.

In the silence, I felt that the footsteps were exceptionally clear.

It's quiet, it's quiet.

The palace lights leading the way flickered in front, and Emperor Hongtai drove out of Fengtianmen and went to the Jin Palace, south of the capital city. The streets were dark, the lights had been extinguished, and when it was past curfew, there were no pedestrians on the road, only groups of patrolling Janissaries with armor and sabers.

The stalk was knocked three times.

The streets of Jingshi City are quiet.

Twilight gathered into a black cloth in the sky.
