Zhu'er's performance in Qingning Palace was not bad. Pro() or search can read the latest novel on -_-!music-_-!text-_-!small-_-!say-_-!net (http://) Baidu search

This unstable child, finally did not poke out any baskets, the performance in Qingning Palace is not said to be good singing and songwriting, but it can also be called decent, that is, I heard that the queen mother rushed to visit after the normal image, the fight with the queen mother before, in his performance, there are not many traces. - The Queen Mother drank the medicine and slept for a while, and when she woke up again, she had calmed down a lot, and she could nod slightly in response to his greetings, and she did not reveal anything wrong.

Originally, it was mid-afternoon when the accident happened, and when Bolt came over in a sedan chair, it was already twilight, and Xu Xun didn't notify anyone again, but asked people to send Bolt back to sleep, and she assigned the palace maid Liufu in the Queen Mother's Palace to take care of Bolt Er with her, "Don't let the child sleep too late." ”

After sending the bolt away, I had to tell Imperial Doctor Zhou not to go out and talk nonsense, the cause of the Queen Mother's illness was just overwork and sudden stroke, and it had nothing to do with the emperor, in fact, she had never been to the Qianqing Palace at all today, but she suddenly fell ill when she was reading music in the palace.

Imperial Doctor Zhou and the other two doctors naturally won't drop the chain in this kind of thing, and after they should go down, they will go back to rest. A young attendant in the Inner Harmony Hall was transferred over - he had been studying in the Inner Study, and he was also one of the first attendants to become a medical officer, although it could only be said to be a rough medical theory, but for a patient with a mild stroke, night care was sufficient.

Mama Zhou sat at the gate for a long time, counting a thick roster, Xu Xun did not personally instruct, but just summoned the palace maids who had a share of going out with the queen mother, and admonished them sharply, and bluntly told them that they would not be able to go out of the palace to visit their families in ten years - but, then again, although during the years of Emperor Zhang, there were also several opportunities to go out of the palace to visit relatives, but in recent years, when the queen mother and the queen mother were in charge of the palace, the good thing of visiting relatives did not fall on the head of the palace woman, it was her arrangement, For them, it doesn't hurt at all, and there's nothing too much to say.

"It's all written down." Xu Xun said to Mama Zhou, "I will keep this booklet all the time, as long as Dongchang hears a few words outside......

Mama Zhou said solemnly, "Niangniang, please rest assured, the slave maid will definitely control that group of little girls and prevent them from making trouble-I will not disappoint your heart." ”

The secret affairs of the palace have always been the most inadversary. In order to cover up the fact that it had happened, Emperor Wen made a fuss about the ten clans, and during the Yulu Rebellion, many innocent palace maids died, that is, because they knew the ugly things of their masters, if they kept their lives, they were afraid that they would leak out and damage the dignity of the palace. The emperor made the queen mother angry, and the sensation of this news did not know how to overshadow the 'palace maid and the inner servant. How much rape, that is, under the hands of the noble concubine, will be so lenient, if you change someone, I am afraid that even if you don't die, you will have to take off a layer of skin.

-- If Shangfeng has already given grace, but he still doesn't know what to do, the means of waiting for this group of people are destined to not be very good. Mama Zhou's words were sincere, and she even brought a little gratitude. Xu Xun sighed, "I just hope that something won't go wrong, if something goes wrong and the old lady blames it, then I really can't do it." ”

She didn't want to listen to Mama Zhou's flattery, so she changed the topic and asked, "What about Liu Zhien?" Are you back? ”

Liu Zhien has also finished his errand and returned to Qingning Palace to resume his life - after Xu Xun returned to Qingning Palace, he went to Qianqing Palace to lead Wang Zhen, and Wang Jin took care of Qingning Palace inside and outside. Liu Zhien is a eunuch of Dongchang, but he is not suitable for casually entering the old door.

However, now that it was getting late, Xu Xun had no intention of opening the palace door to find someone again, so he ordered Wang Jin to go back and rest, she found a quiet room at random, and summoned Liu Zhien to come in for questioning. "Someone got it?"

"It has been sent to Dongchang Prison." Liu Zhien saluted, and was ordered to get up to speak, and even got a small stool at the table to sit and reply, "Everything is going well, Wang Zhen did not resist at all, did not say a word, and his attitude was very calm." ”

"Can he not be calm?" Xu Xun couldn't help but sigh, "After you go back, let him go." ”

Rao is the city government of Liu Zhien, and he can't help but raise his eyebrows, but he deserves it but is still very fast. "Do as my mother commands."

"He has a house in the capital, right? I remember what you said last time, the relatives and wives and children have all thrown in, and they have raised a lot of healthy servants, and they are arrogant in the city, but they are not lost to the Yanei of the Xiyang family. Xu Xun asked tiredly while rubbing his forehead.

The two sons of Lord Xiyang are not very successful, this is well known, the eldest son is rampant and domineering in his hometown Jiangxi, I don't know how many lives have been killed, and the second son is also arrogant in Beijing, fortunately, he has not made a big incident, but he is also a representative of the evil in the capital. This point, Xu Xun also heard Liu Zhien tell a story, Wang Zhen's arrogance can be compared with Shoufu's son, it can be seen how domineering he usually is, but, then again, as the first trusted companion of the Son of Heaven, in this point of rampant unscrupulousness, if he has more scruples than the Shoufu family's ya, maybe the representative of the imperial power will be slightly unhappy. Xu Xun estimated that the Empress Dowager had not attacked Wang Zhen, and it was probably because of this consideration that Liu Zhien would not hide Wang Zhen's matter from the Empress Dowager, but in her heart, she might not value this. Anyway, Lord Xiyang's son can't do anything to him, so he simply indulges a few inner servants with a little bit of majesty, and it can be regarded as finding a balance to some extent.

"Exactly." Liu Zhien responded, "There are about 160 people in the house, only 10 are family members, more than 30 maids, and the rest are male servants. However, this move was all done by Wang Zhen's relatives, and he himself lived in the palace, but he rarely came out. ”

Wang Zhen's honesty and the arrogance of the Wang family are actually not contradictory. -- Persimmon is also soft pinching, no matter how arrogant the Wang family is, it can't be arrogant to the six cabinet departments, bullying men and women on weekdays, most of them are bullying some civilians, rich families and the like, as long as they don't provoke those with official characters, there will not be many people who come out. No matter how much he laughs and talks good things in front of his masters and elders, the upper-level leaders will not affect his opinion of him because of his family's actions in the people. To say that his image in the palace is really quite good, even today's incident, the Empress Dowager wants to kill him, in fact, it is also unjustly killed, and no one has obtained evidence of his own crimes of doing evil and instigating the emperor.

"dismissed all those male servants, guarded the palace, and ordered Wang Zhen to study more at home." Xu Xun's face was cold, "If it's not from the palace, don't go out." ”

This is obviously house arrest, Liu Zhien agreed, and asked, "Can the Wang family come and go freely?" ”

"What are you going out to do, are you causing trouble?" Xu Xun asked rhetorically, "Being able to save a life is already the result of the emperor's efforts for him, and if he wants other treatment, it would be too greedy." ”

Liu Zhien did not show surprise - based on Xu Xun's impression of Wang Zhen, if it wasn't for the emperor's struggle, even if Wang Zhen was not executed, he would definitely have been sent to other places, and he would never want to return to Beijing for the rest of his life. "But if you want to find an opportunity-"

"Nope." Xu Xun shook his head, and finally couldn't help but sigh from the bottom of his heart, "He still has to face the saint once a year...... I promised to keep him alive. ”

She concisely retold the conversation between herself and Zhu'er to Liu Zhien, and Liu Zhien listened to it, but was speechless for a long time, and after a long time, Fang said, "This ...... It's also a good thing that Your Majesty is precocious and intelligent, and he can hide his thoughts since he was a child. ”

The scheming and skill that Bolt showed today are indeed quite outstanding in terms of his age. Maybe now, he can still be seen through by Xu Xun at a glance, but that's because he is still young and inexperienced. But after five or ten years, with the development of his mind and the increase of knowledge, his ability will naturally improve. Although his performance in this matter is not satisfactory, an emperor with ideas and scheming is better than a fool who only promises. At least when encountering problems, he can stick to his own judgment and will not be confused by his grandmother or grandmother's statement.

"He said he knew the truth before the old lady told him, and I believe that." Xu Xun frowned, "It's ......"

She couldn't go down for a long time, she closed her eyes and came back to her senses, looked in front of her again, and saw Liu Zhien patiently waiting for her later text, and finally sighed again, and said in a low voice, "Liu Zhien, I think...... I think maybe I'm wrong after all. ”

"Niangniang is saying......" Liu Zhien's expression moved, "I'm afraid that Your Majesty is not suitable-"

"What do you think of the bolts?" Xu Xun did not answer the rhetorical question.

Liu Zhien pondered for a while, and unexpectedly, his evaluation of Zhu'er was quite high. "Although he is often criticized by teachers in his schoolwork, what I see from the slaves and maids is that the schoolwork is too complicated and too harsh, and His Majesty's own talent is much beyond that of ordinary children."

Xu Xun nodded, "It's true that he can't be said to be unsmart, but there is a gap compared to his father, grandfather, and great-grandfather." ”

In this regard, Liu Zhien can't raise any dissent, after all, the things done by several male ancestors of Zhu'er are there, and in comparison, Zhu'er's qualifications naturally have nothing to brag about. At most, it's just a little smarter than ordinary people, just to say that in the palace, a few young palace maids of this age may have made progress in learning the four books before Zhu'er.

"But I thought," Xu Xun sighed again, and she smiled slightly wryly, "It's better to be a stupid person with self-knowledge, than to be like him now." ”

"This ......," Yoo Ji-eun's brow furrowed. I'm afraid it won't end there, right? ”

"He has completely fallen into Wang Zhen's palm." Xu Xun looked at the candle flame and said faintly, "If Mr. Liu's idea is transferred, including his words, will there be a shadow of Wang Zhen behind it?" It's just that as you said, Wang Zhen is cunning and doesn't show any flaws...... Actually, none of this is scary. ”

She sighed a third time, "The most terrible thing is that Xuan'er has no doubt that he came up with this idea himself. ”

The room was silent, and no one spoke for a moment: even Yoo Ji-eun could not deny such an obvious fact. There is no problem with protecting one's own people, even if there is no reason, it is not incomprehensible that he does not want Wang Zhen to die. In other words, Xu Xun, at such a young age, would definitely not understand why just because of a few words of his own, a servant like a family member was killed. Including negotiations and transactions with Xu Xun, although it is almost appalling in terms of etiquette, in fact, this is a necessary quality for being an emperor, and there is nothing to worry about. The only thing to worry about is that she believes her words from the bottom of her heart, and it is completely out of independent thinking...... Wang Zhen's manipulation of him has reached this point -- he has manipulated the bolt to the point where he does not think that he is being manipulated at all.

Indeed, compared with ordinary children, the performance of the bolt is different from ordinary people, but from another point of view, his stupidity is not different from ordinary people? Why did he develop such a temperament, Xu Xun had already given up thinking about it - maybe because of his life experience, maybe because of his pressure, no matter what, his personality was already like this, in the case that he had no self-knowledge, and there was no elder around him who he trusted wholeheartedly to guide and correct this situation, Xu Xun did not think that his personality could change drastically.

Wang Zhen is no longer worried, if something like this happens, it is impossible for him to enter the palace to serve again. At least not when the three of them are alive, what Xu Xun is worried about now is that if there is one Wang Zhen, will there be another one? The speculators surrounding the imperial power are like buzzing flies, and sooner or later, there will always be another Wang Zhen who will find the cracks in the egg.

Although intellectually also knew that at the time of the inheritance, what the harem did could only have a certain impact on the overall situation, even without them, Wenchen would never let the prince stand and set up the king of Xiang, the most likely outcome was that after a greater turmoil, Wenchen used more radical means to put Zhu'er or Zhuang'er - he was still in Kunning Palace at that time - on the throne, but Xu Xun could not relieve himself and let her free herself from the breathless frustration.

Since she made her choice, the weight that has been hanging on her shoulders now seems to have finally fallen, weighing heavily on her body, but this is not the most terrible fact, the most terrible thing, when she stares at the road ahead, she feels that the future journey is like the road from the Qianqing Palace back to the Qingning Palace: although there is still light on the road ahead, but it is just the remnant sun shining, the endless long night, already waiting ahead, even if it is already known, but there is no way to avoid this roaring darkness.

The two of them didn't say anything more, but silently faced each other under the lamp, Xu Xun just wanted to share the burden on her body a little, she didn't know what she was seeking, but she still couldn't help but open her mouth.

"Maybe I'm kind of sorry." She didn't look at Yoo Ji-eun, "I could have stayed out of it...... Yoo Ji-eun, I don't know why I did that. ”

"Niangniang, this is thinking too much." Liu Zhien said, "Your Majesty is the eldest son, the crown prince......"

"I know all of that." She interrupted Yoo Ji-eun somewhat out of shape, "But...... But I could have left it alone, and if I hadn't done it, these things would have nothing to do with me......"

The cowardice in these words made even her own feel ugly: in fact, even if she managed it back then, what does her life have to do with these things now? Even if the world is in chaos by bolts, it is indispensable to worship her, the concubine. Is all she wants is peace of conscience? Could it be that for the sake of staying out of the matter for herself, she was willing to make the things of the year bigger and the damage to the government more obvious...... Is she not even willing to take on this responsibility, and she doesn't even have the courage to admit that she may lose the gamble?

She couldn't help but laugh softly, "Yoo Ji-eun, will you look down on me very much, I-"

"!"

A soft call interrupted her speech, and Xu Xun raised her head in amazement.

Liu Zhien had straightened his back, leaned forward slightly, his eyes lit up, stared at her, and said word by word, "Niangniang had already made the best choice at that time. Destiny is unpredictable, who can guarantee what will happen tomorrow? What you do today, as long as you can live up to today and yourself, what is there to regret? The slave maid still said this: This road always has to be taken, but how to go is still up to the mother to choose! ”

Xu Xunjiao's body was shocked, and in front of Liu Zhien, she was almost ashamed - suddenly, she knew what she wanted to seek in Liu Zhien.

No matter what fate has arranged for Liu Zhien, he has always walked forward with his head held high, never losing his courage for a moment, and never losing his fighting spirit for a moment. No matter where he is or what opportunities he has, what Liu Zhien does is indeed worthy of himself and his persistence.

What was her pain compared to what he had experienced?

She can live forever with the frustration of 'losing the bet', or she can face up to this reality and try her best to clean up the mess with all the ministers who 'lost the bet'. She'er is only ten years old this year, she can try hard after all, do her best to teach him better, even if she fails, she has already tried.

Since when did she lose this mentality? Since when did her life really become a stagnant pool? Yes, there are many things in the world that are not as good as they should be...... However, how to look at them is still her own choice after all.

"Yoo Ji-eun...... "she whispered—she didn't know what to say, and there were many things she wanted to say, but none of them seemed to be so suitable between them." I ......"

Yoo Ji-eun's eyes dared to explore her face, as if to make sure that she had gathered enough courage, and a slight smile suddenly appeared on his lips, and this smile lit up his face—but only for a very brief moment.

"It's about to be the first time." He bowed down again, "It is inconvenient for the slave maid to stay in Qingning Palace, so I will retire to my mother." ”

After the last farewell salute of the day, he bowed and withdrew, and from beginning to end, the salute was so thoughtful that no one could fault it.

The author has something to say: I saw a comment saying that Zhu'er ascended the throne because of the Sun family, otherwise the Queen Mother would have set up another king of Xiang

This statement is not entirely true, the Queen Mother's idea of setting up another King Xiang cannot pass Wenchen, it can only be said that the Sun family has played a great role, and it cannot be said that it is completely her credit~ In fact, this point was also made clear in the text before
