In the palace where the heavy snow had stopped, a little old man in a flying fish suit stood at the foot of the steps of the main hall, his face was cold and blue, but he didn't dare to say much, but he just gestured to a eunuch beside him with a slight look.

The eunuch was none other than Feng Bao Feng Changgong, who was the master of ceremonies and the commander of the East Factory. Feng Bao's face was not very healthy, a little pale, but he still showed a smile as kind as possible, and said to the little old man: "Don't worry, long live Grandpa has been noisy because of the affairs of those noble children during this time, and it is easy to come up with an idea to send those noisy people in the outer court, and now he is explaining the next arrangements with the concubine, I am afraid that I will have to talk about it for a while, let's wait more." ”

It turned out that this little old man was none other than Li Guifei's biological father, Li Wei.

Li Wei sighed helplessly, and said: "Since this is the case, it is also a matter of no way, my old man is a hard worker, this cold day, he was sent to sacrifice to Emperor Jing, not to mention, he has to continue to blow the wind and starve when he comes back...... I said Father-in-law Feng, how are my daughter and grandson doing lately? ”

Feng Bao smiled: "The national lord said that he laughed, what kind of glory is it to be able to sacrifice to the ancestors and ancestors?" Even Li Shilu, who is the first assistant of the court, can't get such an errand, right? It is you, the father-in-law, that have such qualifications! As for the concubine and the prince, your boss can rest assured, long live the grandfather's son, the two sons are both concubines, how can the concubine be bad in the palace? As for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, let alone that, in order to make him happy, Grandpa Banzai really racked his brains! No, the front foot just sent away the children of the Xungui family, and he wanted to select one from another group of children of the Wenchen family to accompany His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to study. You say, is there anything in the world that loves children more than Your Majesty? ”

Li Wei laughed when he heard the old face, and nodded again and again: "Not bad, you have knowledge, you have knowledge, no wonder my daughter ...... Uh, no wonder the concubine appreciates you, I see your ability, it is enough to be a celebrant palm seal. ”

Feng Bao's face turned dark when he heard this, and he forced a smile: "I accept your old praise, but after all, Meng Zhangyin was recommended by Mr. Gao......

When Li Wei heard Gao Gong, his face suddenly turned grim, and he nodded: "Oh, that's right, that's right, Gao Ge Lao Hongwen is knowledgeable, and the temple is lofty, of course he has his considerations." ”

Feng Bao's face darkened, and he secretly despised in his heart: What a waste snack, the master mentioned a high beard, look at you old boy scared, if the high beard glares in front of you, I'm afraid that you can pee your pants on the spot! If you don't give birth to a good daughter, you wouldn't be worthy of lifting shoes. ”

As the so-called things that you don't have, they become more and more desirable, and the same can also be "what has been lost, only to recall". The eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty liked to call themselves "masters" to each other, but they usually did not call themselves like this in front of normal people, so as not to be ridiculed, but they must insist in their hearts that they were still a "master", and Feng Bao was of course no exception.

However, no matter how Feng Bao looks down on Li Wei, after all, he is the biological father of the concubine, the so-called inseparable, Feng Bao can only echo one or two, and say a few words about Mr. Gao Since he did this, he must be lacking exercise or something like that.

As the two were talking, a eunuch came out of the gate of the main hall and said loudly: "Xuan-Jinyi Wei is commanding the servant Li Wei to meet him." ”

Feng Bao had long been impatient to greet Li Wei, and when he heard this, he was like being amnestied, and hurriedly said, "Guozhang, please." ”

Li Wei didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly went up to the front hall.

There is a reason why Li Wei has waited so long.

Rewind the time for a while, in the palace at that time, after listening to the emperor talk about tomorrow's arrangements and what she should do, Li Guifei said to the emperor with a little complaint: "Your Majesty, the concubine's father is old, and he only swept the Jingdi Mausoleum once on your behalf in November last year, and it has only been less than four months, and he went to worship and sweep again, and the concubine always feels ......."

Long Qing was not angry, and said with a smile: "What, you can't bear it in your heart?" Or do you think it's disgraceful to sacrifice Emperor Jing? ”

Li Guifei pouted slightly and did not speak.

Long Qing waved his hand and said: "I don't understand, I can inherit the great treasure, although there is no dispute, but after all, I am not succeeding to the throne as the crown prince, so some reputations must be maintained." How much do you know about Emperor Jing's affairs? ”

Concubine Li didn't understand what the emperor meant for a while, but she still replied: "The concubines all know the process of the matter, but they haven't thought about it. ”

Long Qing said with a smile: "In my early years, I didn't think about it in the first place, but after listening to Mr. Gao's analysis, I carefully turned over and thought about the things during that time - you know, I didn't have anything else to do at that time anyway." ”

Li Guifei felt a pain in her heart, so she wanted to comfort her and said, "Your Majesty ......"

"I'm fine." This time, he changed his self-proclaimed name from "I" to "I", narrowed his eyes slightly, and said: "At that time, the civil engineering fiasco, and the bad news of Yingzong's capture reached Beijing, and the Jingshi was shocked and panicked. At that time, the bayonet was unstoppable, and Yingzong was frequently detained for strange goods, and the border passes were called one after another, and the Beijing garrison was empty, and the elite battalions were sent to the army, and there was no one in ten military equipment, and the tired soldiers and horses were tired, and the household treasury was less than 100,000. ”

Long Qing's gaze became a little distant: "If according to the provisions of the Emperor Ming Zuxun, at this time should be canonized Yingzong's eldest son Zhu Jianshen, but he was only three years old at the time, and he was canonized as the crown prince after the civil and engineering changes. ”

Concubine Li also knew about these situations, but she also knew that the emperor's words had not been finished yet, and important things were definitely still to come, so she just listened honestly and did not interrupt.

Sure enough, the emperor continued: "First of all, in terms of age, he is the second son of Xuanzong, and the age difference is only one year older than Yingzong. Secondly, in terms of ability, when he arrived at Yingzong's expedition, he was appointed to stay in Beijing and accumulated some experience in governing the country. Tumu was defeated, there was no one in the court, and the empress dowager ordered him to supervise the country, and Zhao Yingzong's eldest son was appointed as the crown prince, and he was ordered to assist. Therefore, at the end of August, the ministers invited the empress dowager, saying that the country has a long monarch and the blessing of the society, and it is appropriate to make her the emperor. The Queen Mother allowed it, and the order was a servant day. ”

"But it can be done because of the two of them. One is the Queen Mother, and the other is Yu Qian. The emperor said faintly: "At that time, Yingzong had fallen into the hands of the enemy, and the Empress Dowager's decree was orthodox and righteous, and Yu Qian represented the support of the subjects...... I'm not in good health, if I have a ...... in the future."

Concubine Li was taken aback and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty! ”

"You listen to me." Long Qing said calmly: "I know what you want to say about the emperor's spring and autumn prosperity, but I know my own body, so I have to say something earlier." Why didn't I send someone else to worship Emperor Jing and send your father? Because he is the prince's grandfather, and you are the prince's biological mother. ”
