Lord Zimin, Qin'er and the others worked non-stop all the way, and it took four days to return to Purple City. When the emperor heard that Zuo Cheng had rushed back so quickly, he was very happy. The emperor praised Lord Zimin very much in the court, and rewarded Lord Zimin with 10,000 taels of gold, as well as a special golden vest made by the royal family, in recognition of Lord Zimin's beautiful errand and won the sacred heart!

After the emperor went to court, he ordered someone to invite the 'ethereal' master, and the emperor always had the same dream these days, so he wanted to ask the master to help interpret the dream.

The emperor and the master were alone in a small secret room. The emperor asked the master to sit down with him. The emperor said to the master very politely: "Master, the widow has always dreamed of two phoenixes flying in the air recently, and the widow doesn't know what the will of God wants to tell me?" Please don't have any scruples and be outspoken. Can? ”

The master smiled slightly at the emperor and said, "Dare to ask the saint, what color is this phoenix?" The emperor replied: "This is strange, these are not two golden phoenixes, but two purple phoenixes!" ”

The master stroked his long white beard and said with a smile: "That old monk wants to congratulate the emperor, this purple qi coming from the east is a great auspicious omen." It seems that this year will be full of happy events. ”

After hearing this, the emperor was very happy in his heart, and he asked with a smile: "Master, with your current cultivation, can you figure out who these two purple phoenixes represent?" Is it a concubine in the palace, or a strange woman among the people? ”

The master laughed but did not say a word. After a while, he said again, "These two women are the stars of the heavens. The two of them are Qin. Purple heart and poetry. Purple smoke. That is, the daughters of the first and second lords. ”

After hearing this, the emperor's expression was a little surprised. After pondering for a while, he asked in a half-believing tone, "Master, are you serious about this?" ”

The master nodded in response: "Your Majesty, this monk does not lie. The old monk is a person who has practiced for many years, and he can't lie and deceive the king! It's just that this heavenly opportunity must not be revealed, and the Holy One knows it in his heart, so don't talk about it with others. ”

The emperor said very seriously: "Master, although you can rest assured of this, the widow has also studied Buddhism since childhood, and he will never talk about unspeakable things to others." The widow has a good idea in his heart. The master said goodbye, and the emperor asked the chief manager of Qida to wait for him to send the master out of the palace.

After the master left, the emperor decided that Lord Zhao Zimin would enter the palace, and he had something to ask Zuo Cheng. Lord Zuo Cheng Zimin didn't dare to delay when he heard this, and immediately came to face the saint.

The emperor asked Lord Zimin: "Zuo Cheng, in the compromises of your trip to Greentown that you wrote to the widow, you mentioned Qin many times. Purple heart and poetry. Purple Smoke is the two county lords. said that the two of them contributed a lot on this errand, are you telling the truth? ”

When Zuo Cheng heard this, he quickly replied: "The recital presented to the emperor by the minister, every word and sentence has been carefully scrutinized, and there is no half-truth. These two county lords are indeed talented, and they have the demeanor of women who do not let their eyebrows go! Don't hide it from the emperor, if the minister is not a son-in-law and already has a wife, the minister wants to marry the first or second son as a family of children. These two daughters are very fond of it! ”

When the emperor heard Zuo Cheng say this, he couldn't help laughing! The emperor smiled and said: "Zuo Cheng, you know that the widow has always been an open-minded person, who likes to make bold moves and is unwilling to stick to details. This widow has a bold and perhaps somewhat unreasonable idea! ”

Zuo Cheng heard this and asked, "What do you think if you dare to ask the emperor?" The emperor replied: "The widow wants to open the world for the first time and seal the two maidesses." Does Zuo Cheng think this method is feasible? ”

Zuo Cheng was stunned by the emperor's too bold idea. I don't know how to answer!

The emperor said: "Of course, this is only a symbolic title, and there is no real power. It will not occupy the number of titles in the first and second families in the future. The widow is to tell the ministers that no matter the official position, no matter the man or woman, as long as he is loyal to the court, the widow will be rewarded! ”

When Zuo Cheng heard this, he knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, you are really a wise monarch through the ages, and having such a bright monarch is really a blessing for all the people!" ”

When the emperor heard this, he laughed!

On the morning of the second day, the emperor announced to the ministers that he was going to seal the two duchesses. When the ministers heard this, they were all shocked by the emperor's decision. The first and second honors even excused their daughters, and both of them said that such a title of baronesse did not conform to the etiquette of the ancestors!

The emperor said to the ministers in a righteous and solemn manner: "The widow is to tell the world that the widow has always rewarded and punished clearly. No matter who you are, you will be rewarded for your merit! In the same way, whoever has done it will be punished! ”

After hearing this, the ministers knelt on the ground together and shouted: "The emperor is sage! The Emperor Shengming! ”

The emperor ordered the ministers to calm down, and then said loudly: "I hope that all the children of Aiqing, whether they are men or women, and whether they are concubines. can have the heart of serving the country, contribute to the community, and benefit the people of Limin! ”

The ministers shouted in unison: "We must abide by the teachings of the saints, educate our children to serve the imperial court, and share the emperor's worries!" ”

The emperor announced his retirement from the dynasty today. On the way back to home, the ministers were all happy in their hearts, and they felt that their careers and those of their children were bright!
