Chapter 42

Regarding Lu Run's role, it is actually difficult to define, he is the head of the Heart Cultivation Palace, a celebrity in front of the emperor, and the emperor's life is inseparable from him. () (, cautious practice, different from other prisons. What kind of existence was he to the emperor? Maybe it's a confidant, a confidant, or even a think tank. Since they are so closely connected, the onset of the latter is a matter of time. At present, the emperor couldn't take care of him because he was sick, so he used the topic to deal with him, at least breaking one of the emperor's arms. is also biological, ruining one to fulfill the other, and it is really incomprehensible to be able to do it with peace of mind.

Song Yin has always had a good impression of Lu Run, and because of some friendship between them, he encountered difficulties, and she naturally tried her best to help.

After entering the Cining Palace, he came up from the middle, and before he reached the eaves, he saw the situation in the palace. Sitting on the throne with a strong voice, Lu Run knelt on the gold brick, his waist was straight, and he answered word by word, without cowering and cowardly.

Feng Shoushan stood outside and watched the wind, guarding against the emperor's sudden arrival. At first, he looked nervous when he saw someone coming in, but when he saw that it was her, he hung his sleeves and greeted him, and planted a thousand rice seedlings, "How is the little manager?" ”

She smiled, "According to Lafayette's instructions, I added some things to the Sixth Master's Mansion, and I don't know if it is in line with Lafayette's wishes, so I specially sent it to Lafayette to see." As he spoke, he glanced into the hall, "Are you busy?" Isn't that Lu Run? Why is he here? ”

Feng Shoushan shrunk his neck and smiled, "Lafayette will punish him, don't worry about it." "Lead her to the outside of the floor cover, ask her to wait, and go in and report it yourself.

She stood behind a velvet curtain waiting for the letter, and all the movement inside could be heard. Counting his crimes in succession, there were almost no major incidents that hurt the muscles and bones, and the emperor rested late, his appetite decreased, and they all complained that he did not serve him well. Anyway, there is no need for any reason to add sin. Later, I heard that she sent a comprador order over, for the wedding of her heart, and immediately put Lu Run aside.

Said Xuan, without waiting for Feng Shoushan to speak, she had already stepped in, asked for a double peace for the queen, and said with a smile: "The cloisonnΓ© enamel beast ear stove you talked about last time, I touched it for you, and ordered the craftsman to create a pair of red sandalwood bases, which have been sent to Yuwangfu." There are also four nanmu screens, ebony gilded treasure elephant beds, large lotus leaves, pastel peony vases...... The latest style picked by one color, and when Manager Lu goes back, his face will be long live, and then he will be dialed out of the library. ”

Later, the palace maid took the Western glasses, leaned on the pillow to count them one by one, and asked about this vase, the luodian cabinet, dozens of things from top to bottom are very satisfactory, there is nothing to pick and choose, and nodded with satisfaction, "I see that everything is very good, and I can rely on you to leave the matter to save my heart." I got a few pieces of satin here, and the palace concubines have leftover from their tailoring clothes, so I'll reward you with one when I go back. I don't know how the preparations are going in the Yuwang Mansion right now, have you been there? ”

Song Yin thanked him and said: "I've been to Ama and said that it's almost done, and the courtyards of the two Fujin are one east and one west, and they are all finished according to the etiquette system." According to my Amma, the courtyard is very well cleaned up, and the sixth master has also built a big rockery, but unfortunately Lafayette can't go out of the palace, or go to the palace to see, you can also relax. ”

Later, when he said that the love was not tempered at all, he said with a smile: "I sometimes envy the concubines of the first emperor, who built a mansion outside and took them out to serve in the palace." Coming into the palace at the same age as a flower, there is a day when I have gray hair and go out, and I am a little stronger than me. I gave birth to two sons, the younger one is outside, the older one is in front of the emperor, and I am the queen, this is his filial piety, and the two children hurt me the same. Now that Yan Sui has a family and has the appearance of a human being, it is the emperor who makes me unable to close my eyes day and night. As he spoke, he diverted the words and said angrily, "A ninety-five honor, with a heavy burden on his shoulders, the health of the dragon is the blessing of all the people." It's good at this time, it's not spread that it's a secret when you're sick, it's Hua Tuo who is raised in the dormitory, can you heal yourself if you're sick? I know that I was instigated by the dog slave who is neither male nor female, blindly flattering and inviting pets, and I didn't care about myself at all! What exactly is the illness of the emperor? Has the Ministry of Internal Affairs received the report? Where are the records of the hospital? You are the head of the imperial front, you hide the master's illness privately, there is a good one, you just give birth to a cheap life is not enough to consume! ”

Lu Run knelt on his knees and didn't speak, he explained, but he couldn't hear it when he heard it, so it was useless, so he didn't say anything more. Song Yin watched from the side, the palace maid brought the tea cup, she hurriedly took it, and whispered: "Lafayette is angry, the slave doesn't know what Lafayette is talking about, but if it is the matter of the cold and medical treatment this time, Lu Run sent someone to report to the Internal Affairs Office, and the slave also went to the Heart Cultivation Palace to see. I love to read] The master didn't want to go around, but said that he had a headache and a fever, and there were people from the hospital waiting in Rijing Gate and Yuehua Gate, so he called to take a look. ”

After frowning. "You're in the know?"

Song Yindao was, "I went to the worship room first to check the file, and it happened that Cai He told me that today's holy bow violated the peace, and he didn't enter the lecture for days." (800) The government office, it didn't take long to continue the letter of the Heart Palace. ”

After she was not satisfied with her standing up for him at this time, as soon as she said that the Internal Affairs Office knew, she couldn't sing this play, how could she cure Lu Run's crime? She looked at Song Yin coldly, "The palace of the Sun Jing Yuehua is directly prepared for the six palaces of the east and west, the emperor has a history of passing on the hospital, you have been in the internal affairs office for more than two years, you still don't understand?" ”

Song Yin knew that Lu Run was looking at her, she didn't even roll her eyes, and said carefully: "You know the temper of the long live lord, I don't like to make a big move." Talking about minor illnesses and disasters, the people of Shangnan will alarm most of the Forbidden City, and Lao Fayette will worry about it when he turns around. Just call one nearby, prescribe a dose of sweat medicine, and say that it will be good to sleep. ”

She is so foolish, in fact, it is not impossible to dismantle, but seeing that Prince Yu is interested in her, she knows it in her heart, and rewards her face and does not pursue it. But Lu Run's "crimes" are many, and even the fault of the emperor's heir is counted on his head, and all the people in front of the emperor are classified as foxes. Just because the female official scolded her like this, the prison also called it that, which was clearly insinuating. Lu Run knelt there with a white face and didn't defend himself, but the iron bones that Ning couldn't bend, it was really difficult to connect the Israeli servant with him.

He refused to bow his head, and he wanted to develop him even more. shouted at Feng Shoushan, "I just can't look down on him like this, just a prison, I can't deal with it?" Someone beat him fifty boards, and went down to the porcelain warehouse to look at the porcelain. The emperor sent another person to serve, and when the emperor asked, he said that I said it, and I can do this. ”

After such a fuss, it is tantamount to tearing his face, Song Yin is not worried about their mother becoming enemies, anyway, now it is just to maintain a politeness on the surface, even if it is pinched, it is not unusual. What she was worried about was Lu Run, such a jewel-like person, who should not be angered like this. However, he had already made up his mind, and the execution was in Cining Palace, and a spring stool was resting in front of the steps, and the fight started right under his nose. Song Yin was so anxious that he didn't dare to do it on his face, and watched as the two prisoners set him up and pressed him on the spring bench.

The cane in the palace is a thick slab, and the power is not small in a battle, not to mention fifty canes, it is twenty canes, and the key points may kill people. It was Feng Shoushan's apprentice who was executed, and no matter how strong he was, he could see the queen's face. Song Yin saw that they had used a lot of strength, leaving no room for anything, Lu Run was not like those prisoners who cried for their fathers and mothers, he had his pride, even if he was killed, he would not beg for mercy. But the more this happened, the more the anger of the latter became more and more intense, and it was only the rod, and the color of the crimson trolling deepened, and the blood seeped out, and stained the silk red.

After Song Yin's begging, "Lafayette, you extinguish the fire, fifty is equivalent to a cane, the sixth master's wedding date is just around the corner, seeing that the blood is not good, please Lafayette be gracious." Besides, Lu Run is the person in front of the emperor, as the saying goes, it depends on the owner to beat the dog, if it really hurts the emperor's dignity, won't it damage the maternal relationship between Lafayette and the emperor? Lafayette is very merciful, and he went out of the palace to incense last time, and the poor little flower also let him reward money and snacks. Lu Run is a pen supervisor, he has been by the emperor's side for more than ten years, you want to kill him, let people say that Lafayette is too strict, and the emperor's face is dull. The emperor is not happy, can the people under him still be happy, and who will wear small shoes in the end, think about it? ”

That's right, just turn a blind eye to this festival, and it's not too late to talk about it after the wedding. Turning around, the emperor came up energetically, and it was bad if Yan Sui couldn't go up or down.

After a long exhale, he raised his hand and said, "That's it, let's get here!" This time it's just a lesson, and the next time you do it again, you'll want to live. ”

Song Yin bowed down, cold sweat on his back. Later, he returned to the temple, hurriedly beckoned the people to pick them up, and sent him back in one go.

Lu Run didn't shout in pain, he was really a man. He was still worried, "There is no one to serve the emperor......"

Song Yin looked at him like a gossamer, felt very sad in his heart, and explained him and said, "Don't worry, I will order someone to send a message to Tan Rui and let him go to the Heart Cultivation Hall to support him first." You don't care about that, it's important to take care of your injuries. ”

He was a polite person, lying there and pausing, "Thank you Lord Tong for saving me, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't be able to escape today." ”

Something really happened to him, will everyone have a good time in the future? Song Yin is the mentality of an official and a gentleman, she has to get by, as long as the sky does not fall, she will continue to gasp for breath happily. When she didn't have to stand on the side, she would be modest, be a man with her tail between her legs, and continue to cut tofu with a knife like he did in the ten years when he was confused. Therefore, saving Lu Run is not only to repay his kindness, but also to ask for credit in front of the emperor. But in the end, you still have to be polite, "You said that money is not rare, and it is better to save money, and now this seems to be really reasonable." We have a relationship, am I still watching you get killed? The little overseer outside came over with the doctor, and she bent down and said, "I still have something to do there, so I won't stay long." Let them serve you with medicine, and I'll come back to see you tomorrow." ”

He hummed, buried his face in the crook of his arm, and didn't move.

Song Yin withdrew and stood under the grape trellis to see that the remaining two bunches of grapes were already purple and black. The layers of leaves are gradually withering and yellowing, showing the dawn of autumn.

Back at the Internal Affairs Office, she Ama had finished the case and was sitting behind the case stunned. She called out to him, "How?" Do you have a clue? ”

Shu Ming raked the scalp with both hands, and said frustratedly: "It seems that it is eight / nine is not far from ten, it is said that it has been broken once, and I was begging to sue me not to say it, but as a result of a fight, I forgot everything, and all the dirty and smelly things turned out." ”

Song Yin felt incredible, "It's understandable for the palace maid to find a prison to eat, after all, they are all bitter people." are all concubines, and the emperor is also flopping, how can you still ......?"

Shu Ming sighed, "The deep palace is lonely, and we don't understand their difficulties. There are those who can keep it, like Hui Zhu'er, she has sustenance, and she loves to eat in addition to a princess, and the heavenly bodhisattva is not as important as her to eat. Is it easy for the emperor to obtain, and is it easy to get food? She's smart and open-minded. There are also all nobles, no children and no daughters, two months to turn over the cards, the rest is 'six palaces to break the hibiscus sorrow'. Every day I think about how pitiful I am, and there is a sensible prison under my hand to provoke him, and a shake of his mind will lead him to evil. ”

The palace is really colorful, this is a shrunken city of forty-nine cities, full of people. There are a lot of people, and there are many strange things, and sometimes people can't cry or laugh, so what should I do next?

The statement said: "I don't dare to go down to investigate, if you want to investigate, you must first get an order." But what's the reply, saying that one of your concubines and the prison got together and cuckolded you? I can't speak. As he spoke, he paused and asked her, "Where have you been?" ”

She took the account book sent by the pen and post, sat down and checked it, and said: "I went to Cining Palace to save people, and Lu Run called him and sent him back." ”

"Dead?" Shu Ming exclaimed, "Not good! ”

Song Yin hurriedly said that he was not dead, "It's just that the injury is quite serious, and the flesh and blood are blurred under the cane." ”

Shu Ming sat in the circle chair and muttered to himself, "That's ...... I can't go back. Long live the Lord was sick, Lu Run was cleaned up by the queen, and this happened to the harem again...... If you don't report it, we don't have the courage to hide it. "Think about it carefully, "No, the queen and the emperor are not the same, who knows what moth she will have!" Report to the Queen? The queen has been grounded for the matter of the Xi nobles until now, and she has not competed. "Thinking about it, there is no one in the palace to rely on.

The two of them sat there and looked at each other, and Song Yin said: "Long live the Lord seems to be not good lately, the green head card is not often turned, and the two ends of the sky are sick." People who are sick and don't recruit the hospital will go straight to the palace on the Rijing Gate, and then it will be Lu Run, who will be rectified on this ground. ”

Shu Ming frowned and thought for a long time, "My eyelids have been jumping a lot lately......"

After hearing this no less than ten times, Song Yin held his head, "Did you say that there was going to be a change?" Your eyes are so jumping! ”

He wanted to say something, but finally shook his head and swallowed the words back. Will the Forbidden City change owners in the end? Why has this premonition been getting stronger lately? Prince Yu is cooking oil on fire, and the emperor has a kind of embarrassment of hanging on his head. The body is not good, and the handling of government affairs is sometimes indecisive and reluctant. To change the sky, in fact, it is not a bad thing for their surname Tong, but it is a waste of Rangyu, and it seems that it was a mistake to send her into the palace in the first place. Many times people are not as good as heaven, this is true. What would she do if she really changed hands?

Shu Ming stood up and walked around the room twice, "I still have to go to the Heart Cultivation Palace, and I must ask the Lord for instructions on this matter." You go along, I'm afraid that he will ask about Lu Run, I have a hand away, and I don't understand. ”

Song Yindao is, accompanied to the Heart Cultivation Palace. The emperor rested in the back and was in the new day, and this kind of embarrassing thing had to be broken up and returned, she did not follow up, and stood in the hall, whispering inside, and could not really hear what was said.

It took a long time for her Amma to show her head, call out to her, and wave at her. She hurriedly dressed and went inside, and saw the emperor reclining on the brocade mat, his face was not good, but his lips were so red that he seemed to be smeared with lipstick, which surprised people at first sight.

She stepped forward and saluted, and asked softly, "Lord, are you feeling better?" ”

The emperor nodded, "I heard you Ama say, did Lafayette deal with Lu Run today?" ”

She responded, "The Xiuqi of Cining Palace sent someone to report to me, and I rushed over when I got the news." Lafayette blamed Lu Run for concealing the illness of the holy bow, and became very angry, ordering someone to whip the cane. I begged for love for a long time, and finally begged to come down, but he still suffered more than a dozen times. Now the person replied to him, called the doctor to go over and see, it was a flesh wound, and his life was safe, and the emperor was relieved. ”

The weather was not good, so I took the lamp early, and the king under the lamp had a weak atmosphere, but the fighting spirit in his eyes was not extinguished. He was silent for a long time, and almost when Song Yin was about to say goodbye to Amma, he heard him grit his molars and say, "Raise a tiger for trouble!" In the year of my reign, Yan Sui was only a fourteen or fourteen-year-old child, what ability could he have to turn the river and the sea? In the past ten years, I have missed the love of my brotherhood, and even more because of the affection of the queen mother, I have done my best to this young brother, who knows that he does not know how to restrain himself, relying on the favor of the queen mother, and does not take me in his eyes at all. Now the queen mother is also forcing me, and if she doesn't force me to fight back, they will not be comfortable. Even so, there is nothing to be appeased, and appeasement can only raise adultery. Sending a message to the cabinet ministers, I want to order them to impeach Prince Yu, from his private mansion to the swallowing of tax silver, one by one, to settle it for him. ”

Song Yin beat a drum in his heart, if he wants to deal with Prince Yu, he can do it behind his back, why did he mention it in front of them? Is it another test?

Shu Ming folded his hands, his head lowered, and he snorted.

"Rong Shi is not here today, Song Yin sent a message to him, and he will be the Minister of the Guard. With him receiving the emperor's order, the two banners of Zhenghuang and Zhenglan sent additional manpower, and the guards were increased by eight shifts day and night to consolidate the city defense of the Forbidden City. No men in the palace are allowed to move around without permission, including Cining Palace. When the queen is old, she should rest in peace. From now on, on the fifteenth day of the first month of each month, all brothers will go to Cining Palace to listen to the mercy training, and all weekday greetings will be waived. The emperor carefully advised, "In two days, Prince Yu will be married, and the Internal Affairs Office will allocate people to go out of the palace to assist, and there is no need to return to the palace after the matter is over, as a reward." Remember, I can find someone who can be relied on, and I will be useful. ”

The two of them were in a cold sweat when they heard this, and this trust came suddenly, I'm afraid it's not a good sign. The two of them trembled and received the order, and then heard the emperor smile softly, "You don't need to be afraid, I will not treat you badly to those who are loyal to the Lord." Now that Yu has entered the palace, I plan to choose an auspicious day to make her a concubine, and when she is pregnant, I will be crowned a concubine. And Song Yin and Rong Shi, I know all about you. Rong Shi followed me when he was climbing a tree at the sticky pole, and now it has been more than ten years, and I have watched him grow up. He is Master Rong's son, but he is better than a brother to me, and I would rather believe in him than in those tiger and wolf brothers. In the past, I was forgiving, and I was too lenient, and I seemed incompetent, so that the people below also suffered humiliation. I haven't forgotten, I am the emperor, these thousands of miles are in my hands, how can I be controlled by a woman! He let out a sigh of relief, as if he had unloaded his burden, and no longer needed to disguise himself, and paused, and said, "Do everything I have commanded you to do with all your heart." Since I said it in front of your father and daughter, I did not treat you as outsiders. It doesn't matter who you are under any banner, as long as you have the Lord in mind, that is the best way for you to save your life. ”

Shu Ming knelt down with a slam of Songyin, touched the ground with his head, and said in a trembling voice: "The minions are dead for the Lord." ”

The emperor said, "This is a long-term plan, I know that it will not be easy to do, don't disappoint me, I will wait and see." With a wave of his hand, "Kneel down!" ”

The two of them kowtowed again, got up but quit and renewed. When he arrived at the hall, he didn't even exchange his eyes, and he didn't take a breath until he left the Heart Cultivation Palace. Song Yin said in a panic: "Amma, long live the lord this time I have eaten the scales." ”

It seems that the previous provocations were not as powerful as this time, and it was about Lu Run, so the emperor was ruthless. The queen is really an unbelievable woman, why should she look for other people's bad luck, this is self-defeating. The emperor called it "quiet recuperation", but in fact, it was a captivity. On the fifteenth day of the first month, five or six brothers gathered together, and Prince Yu couldn't say anything. In fact, this should have been done a long time ago, although Song Yin didn't like the emperor, but this time he felt very relieved. What qualifications does a person have to live by himself and not regard anyone as he sees him? Because Prince Yu got married, he might have children soon, so he made great efforts to fight with the emperor. is the same child, the palms and backs of her hands are full of meat, is it true that if the pit is long, won't she feel heartache?

Shu Ming was very distressed, "Do you say that the emperor can beat the sixth master in one go?" If we can, we can bet on the right treasure; If not, the Tong family will die without a place to be buried. ”

This question was strict, Song Yin looked at her Ama in a daze, "Then what should we do?" The emperor's intention is clear, as long as someone in the court impeaches the sixth master, the errand in the hands of the sixth master has to be put down and wait at home for the fate. But is the sixth master really so easy to subdue? What handle can the emperor catch him? He enclosed land to build a garden with permission, and the tax money had a subordinate......"

Shu Ming raised his hand, "Don't say it, I have to think about it." Go back to the yamen, I'll send someone out of the palace to deliver a message to the cabinet people, and those two anti-heaven prisons will be dealt with, so I'm busy! ”

She watched Amma go away, but before evening, the sky was overcast like the bottom of a pot. The rain was getting heavier.
