Chapter 339: Waiting
Those who fainted were sent to the hospital, and those who did not faint slipped out of the palace, and Lihuamen was finally quiet.
Cui Keyin had already driven back to the palace, leaving Lu Ying to stand quietly aside, watching the civil officials leave together.
Tang Lun clasped his hands on his chest, looking like he was not approaching, and the civil officials who left greeted him, but he ignored him. Until the last person left, he turned around to leave, Lu Ying smiled and stepped forward to salute, and said, "Lord Xiao Tang stays, Niangniang is invited." ”
Tang Lun nodded and followed Lu Ying to Anhua Palace.
Cui Keyin was waiting in the warm pavilion, and when she saw him come in, she motioned for him to sit down, and said, "Is the emperor still angry?" ”
Zhou Heng is not angry easily, once he is really angry, he will definitely lock himself in the house, or come up with a solution, or come out when he is angry. The civil officials first went to Zuoshunmen, and then to Lihuamen, how could he not know? It's just that he doesn't want to go on a killing spree or go through the rod again.
Tang Lun sat down, his heart was sour, and he made an expression of indifference: "How do I know?" ”
Cui Keyin was surprised: "Didn't the emperor let you come?" ”
Tang Lun straightened his two long legs, leaned his back on the back of the chair, and said, "What is it, what is it?" ”
Even if Zhou Heng didn't send him, he would come, but Zhou Heng just had one more mouth.
Cui Keyin didn't know his careful thoughts, and said angrily: "What's wrong with you?" When you open your mouth, you choke. ”
Her coquettish appearance made Tang Lun a little trance-like.
The felt curtain in the side hall was lifted, Lele ran in, threw herself into Cui Keyin's arms, and said, "Queen Mother, I'm hungry." ”
He had a Trojan horse in his hand. Poked his head out of Cui Keyin's shoulder, looked at Tang Lun with big black eyes, looked at him for a while, recognized him, and grinned at him.
Tang Lun stretched out his hand to him and said, "Come, uncle, hug." ”
It was only once during the New Year's greetings, and the boy knew him. Tang Lun was touched in a certain corner of his heart, so soft that he hugged Lele. Left kiss right kiss. Kiss Dele Le Le in disgust and push his hand away.
Cui Keyin asked people to bring snacks up, and said, "What are you sweating all in?" ”
Lele said: "Play with Sister Jade." ”
Jade stepped forward and said, "Brother is playing with the Trojan horse, and he wants to dismantle the Trojan horse." ”
"How can a good Trojan horse be dismantled?" Cui Keyin took the Trojan horse and looked at it. It hasn't been dismantled yet. The whole one is in good condition.
Over there. Tang Lun has already said to Lele: "Do you want to dismantle the Trojan horse?" It's easy, you kiss your uncle, and your uncle will help you dismantle it. ”
Lele didn't say a word. "Bar" kissed him loudly, and he laughed happily, leaned the other side up, and said, "Come again." ”
Lele obediently kissed him again, Tang Lun wanted to kiss him back, Lele shook his head to avoid it.
Cui Keyin shook her head helplessly and said, "How can you be an uncle like this?" Even the little nephew cheats? ”
"I didn't lie to him." Tang Lun said, signaling the palace people to go over and bring the wooden horse, which was about to be dismantled in front of Lele.
Cui Keyin hurriedly stopped and said: "This Trojan horse was made for him by Xiao Rong, it can move, he has always been curious about why it moves, so he wants to take it apart to see what is inside." If you indulge him like this, I'll let him carry him away. Let Lele come over again: "Aren't you hungry?" Come over for a snack. ”
Seeing that there was something to eat, Le Le threw the wooden horse away, slipped off Tang Lun's lap, and ran to Cui Keyin's side.
Tang Lun looked at Lele and pondered.
Cui Keyin watched Lele eat steamed chestnut cake with osmanthus sugar, and said: "What the hell is going on, don't say it quickly!" ”
Tang Lun said: "Are you asking me? It's nothing, he asked me to come over and have a look, and I came. I really didn't expect you to come forward, and your eloquence is so good. Can't you see that he's getting more and more ruthless. ”
Looking at what Zhou Heng did, is he still the unlucky prince who climbed trees and hunted birds before?
Cui Keyin said: "Are you really helping him?" ”
For most of the past half a year, Tang Lun has been running around, so busy that he couldn't return to Beijing during the Mid-Autumn Festival, no matter how hard he worked, he didn't cry tired, which is not like his character.
Tang Lun rolled his eyes, stood up and left.
What does that mean? Cui Keyin got angry and said, "If you don't make it clear, don't go to Anhua Palace in the future." ”
Tang Lun smiled and stopped: "Isn't it rare for me to come to you?" After thinking about it, he said: "The Lu of the Eater, the matter of loyalty to the King, what is really not sincere?" ”
Cui Keyin glared at him.
Tang Lun said: "Don't worry, I won't make you sad and won't hurt him." ”
After speaking, he strode out of Anhua Palace.
When it was time for dinner, Zhou Heng's imperial chariot stopped under the dripping eaves of Anhua Palace on time, and Zhou Heng's face was as usual.
Cui Keyin led Lele to see the end, Zhou Heng hugged Lele and talked to Cui Keyin: "Are you going to see those pedantics?" ”
"Hmm." Cui Keyin responded.
The two sat down on the Luohan bed, Zhou Heng put Lele down, let him play by himself, and said to Cui Keyin with a smile: "I heard about it, you refuted the nursery so much that I couldn't speak." ”
"That's not true, it's just a dumb talk." Cui Keyin couldn't help but feel a little regretful: "If my cousin comes late, I have more opportunities to perform." ”
"Hahaha." Zhou Hengda laughed.
Naturally, he wouldn't tell her that as soon as Tang Lun said that he would go to Lihua Gate, Tang Lun lifted his robe and rushed out, and collided with a small chamberlain at the door of the Jinshen Palace, knocking the poor little chamberlain to the ground, unable to get up for a long time.
"Why doesn't the emperor punish these troublesome courtiers?" Cui Keyin asked questions for most of the day. With his character, he would never have spared punishment for the fact that there were too many troublemakers.
Zhou Heng said: "It is normal for civil officials to have opinions on the new law. These people, on the surface, are sanctimonious, but in fact they are greedy for pleasure, often singing poems and wine, and there are many wives and concubines, and there are even child prostitutes. If they don't have extra income, how can they support such a huge spending? The so-called cutting off people's financial routes is like killing their parents, and now that I have cut off their financial routes, and I don't have the murderous aura like Taizu, how can they not resist? Whether it is a court rod or a degraded official or exile, how can they be convinced? ”
Cui Keyin sighed: "Even if Taizu promulgated such a strict law, isn't it common for officials to violate the ban?" Does the emperor still remember Taizu skinning officials who embezzled more than fifty taels of silver? No matter how strict they are, there will always be people who commit crimes against the wind. These people think that God knows that you know and I know, but where did they expect Taizu Shengming, they still found it clearly. ”
Zhou Heng said: "You mean, I didn't enact a law to skin the corrupt alive, and these people have to commit crimes against the wind?" ”
Cui Keyin was silent. If it were her, she would definitely not apply the old law of Taizu again.
Zhou Heng understood what she meant when he saw her expression, and said, "Have you forgotten that I still have a secret agent in my hand?" You don't need to skin people alive, I have a way to cure them. (To be continued.) )
