Chapter 176: Chinese New Year's Eve

Zhou Heng rushed to the palace, and as soon as Emperor An saw him, he shouted and shouted to kill, and wanted to behead Shen Ruili at the entrance of the vegetable market.

"Brother Huang, Shen Rui deserves to die, but he can't kill him now." Zhou Heng said: "He impeached the imperial brother in order to die in order to leave a name in history, and the imperial brother killed him, wouldn't it be a fulfillment for him?" ”

When Emperor An thought about it, it was not, these civil officials, in order to leave a name in history, were simply to the point of perversion. If he beats someone's court staff, then the civil official who received the court staff will be beaten to the point that his ass will bloom, and he will be as happy as if he has chosen a treasure, let alone die for direct advice? No, you can't fulfill this bastard who scolds herself.

Emperor An immediately changed his mind and ordered Shen Rui to be imprisoned.

Zhou Heng said a few more words of comfort, accompanied him to appreciate a few paintings in his collection, and then withdrew from the palace.

By this time, the snow had become lighter, but the snow on the road was thick, and the horses' hooves were submerged in the snow.

Cui Keyin had to report to Zhou Heng to return home, and hurriedly ordered to cook a few dishes on the stove, scald a pot of wine, and greeted him himself.

Zhou Heng dismounted in front of the mansion, threw the reins of the horse to Huanxi, and stepped inside. Walking into the courtyard, Cui Keyin had already greeted him and said, "How is it?" ”

"Why don't you run out without a cloak?" Zhou Heng hurriedly took off his cloak and draped it on her, and the two returned to the Purple Smoke Pavilion hand in hand.

Zhou Heng persuaded Emperor An and Shen Rui to be temporarily imprisoned, and said: "I first thought that there was someone behind this matter, but it turned out that Shen Rui was a stunned man with an upright temperament. This letter was really written by him after he heard that the Queen Mother intended to disturb the people. ”

Cui Keyin said: "Why don't you impeach the Queen Mother, but impeach the Emperor?" ”

The words just came out. immediately understood that the Queen Mother lived in the deep palace and was an ignorant woman, and Shen Rui, as a foreign minister, it was really inappropriate to impeach her.

"He's not all dumbfounded." Cui Keyin chuckled and pulled Zhou Heng to sit down on the Luohan bed.

The dishes are ready, and the wine is hot. She stretched out her slender hand, poured two glasses of wine from the jade pot, and handed one to Zhou Heng. Said: "Drink it to warm your stomach." ”

Zhou Heng got a secret report from the distant mountains. Knowing that Shen Rui has a strange temperament, but his reputation is good, if he kills him, it will damage Emperor Yu'an's reputation. I think the carriage goes slowly in the snow. before riding into the palace. But that's it. Inevitably eat a belly wind.

A glass of hot wine will warm your belly and warm your heart. Zhou Heng said: "I went out without explanation." You must be worried about breaking, right? Shen Rui was just a man from a human background and was lucky to get the position of an edict, but because everything was according to the law of Taizu, he offended his boss. He treated everyone the same, so he gained a good reputation, but his boss couldn't, so he had to recommend him as a county magistrate. Several promotions, all of them. ”

"Taizu Cheng Fa? Is there anyone still scrupulously doing this? Cui Keyin was surprised and said, "How can there be such a person?" ”

Zhou Heng said: "Yes." ”

The two talked about Shen Rui, it turned out that this person lost his father since he was a child, he was raised by his mother, and he was a talented person at the age of thirty-three, but he was lucky, but in just one year, he made up for the Huaihai County Teaching (Director of the Education Bureau), and since then he has entered the officialdom. However, he thought that he had entered the door of Confucius, and he did not salute when he saw a big official, but asked someone to salute him, and on the spot several chiefs who went to Huaihai to inspect were so angry that they brushed their sleeves away.

"It's a miracle that this person hasn't lost his official hat, and he can still be promoted." Cui Keyin listened interestingly, and gave Zhou Heng a dish with a smile.

She listened interestingly, and Zhou Heng said in more detail, "When he was the county commander, he did not accept bribes, and he strictly forbade the officials to accept bribes. All year round, he only eats the vegetables he grows, no sedan chairs, no maids, and only an old slave. The officials collectively asked for leave inappropriately, and he didn't care. When the court is opened, one person takes on multiple positions, tries the case by himself, adjudicates the case by himself, and beats the prisoner with his own hands......"

"And such a thing?" Cui Keyin's eyes froze, and she said, "The prince wants to keep this person, but what is the purpose?" ”

Zhou Heng smiled but did not answer.

Cui Keyin looked at him for a long time, suddenly realized, pursed her lips and laughed.

At this time, Yuanshan came in and said, "It's done." ”

After entering the edict, few people come out alive, and in it, it is not whether they can live or not, but what kind of tragic death. If Zhou Heng didn't send someone to deal with it, he was afraid that if he didn't have to kill Emperor An, Shen Rui would also "die of illness" there.

The two finished their meal, and it was getting dark.

Shen Rui's twists and turns shocked the enemy court, and the civil and military officials kept arguing about how to deal with him. In the midst of the noise and shouting, the New Year arrived, and the court was stopped for three days.

On Chinese New Year's Eve, according to the rules, Zhou Heng and his wife must enter the palace for Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.

The banquet was placed in Fengyi Garden, and the clan and concubines waited until it was dark, and the hall had already held the lamp, and it was not until Emperor An and the queen that the queen mother arrived.

The Queen Mother's stern eyes swept around the audience, and finally landed on Cui Keyin, stared at her for a long time, barely heard a "hum", and turned to take a seat.

Shen Mingzhu took advantage of the fact that everyone was walking towards the banquet, came to Cui Keyin's side and said, "Be careful." ”

The Queen Mother's eyes are like arrows, and everyone in the palace is not blind, how can they not see it? Cui Keyin said: "Thank you." ”

She suddenly felt that it would be good if Shen Mingzhu could conceive a child. It was inconvenient to say these words at this time, and after the two of them said a short word, they separated and came to their places and sat down.

This time, Cui Keyin did not sit under the Queen Mother, since the Queen Mother ordered.

As soon as she sat down, she found that the queen was looking at her from a distance and smiled, probably to comfort her. She smiled and gave her a "it's okay" look back.

"Princess Jin, your clothes today are so beautiful." There was a humanity in my ears.

Cui Keyin looked sideways, but it was Lu. She sat under Cui Keyin, looked at Cui Keyin with an excited face, and said, "I still want to come to the house early tomorrow to pay New Year's greetings, but I don't know if you have any leisure, I don't know if you should hand over the post?" ”

Cui Keyin didn't expect to sit with her and said, "Isn't Ming'er going to enter the palace?" Where is there free. ”

Ming'er is the first day of the new year, of course, you have to enter the palace to ask the queen mother for peace.

As a rule, the emperor would receive congratulations from important ministers on this day. Zhou Heng is not a heavy minister, but he is the brother of Emperor Zhi'an, and he is deeply valued by Emperor Zhi'an, and Emperor Zhi'an has already commanded, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, he must get it.

Lu Shi made a look of envy and said, "Oh, I didn't expect this. Our prince also has to use it in the palace. You see which day is free, I'll go over again. ”

Cui Keyin really didn't want to say more to her, and said, "Let's talk about it then." ”

On the other side, Princess Roujia said quietly: "The fourth sister-in-law is really fragrant, and everyone wants to get close." ”

Cui Keyin said: "If my sister wants to live in my house, why don't you tell the emperor?" ”

Since the Queen Mother couldn't make sense, she naturally had to ask Emperor An.

Before Princess Roujia could speak, the palace people served a fish soup. The dishes are made first, and after a long time, there is a thick layer of oil floating on them, and the fishy smell is extremely strong. However, there was a vacant seat in front of Cui Keyin, so the palace people put the fish soup in front of her.

An unpleasant fishy smell rushed to her nose, and Cui Keyin couldn't help but vomit when she smelled it.

Just then sat down, just vomit? Everyone looked at Cui Keyin. (To be continued......)
