Since Fang Ge left, Chang'an pestered Rong Chen into the inner hall to rest temporarily, and in the Luoshui Palace, it was unusually quiet at this time.

When the sky was about to darken, Xu Wan hurriedly entered the hall, and when he saw Aunt He, he unconsciously lowered his voice and said, "Aunt Lao is tired." ”

"Got news?"

"Yes, the imperial study has just issued an order, the princess has an order, as long as there is news, it must be communicated immediately, please send a message to my aunt."

Aunt He looked at Xu Wan's anxious face, and she knew in her heart that it was not good, but the princess had been unable to sleep peacefully for several days, and it was easy for Her Royal Highness to persuade her today, and she really didn't want to disturb.

When he was hesitating, the gauze curtain moved slightly, and a voice was extremely soft, "If there is no emergency, there is no need to disturb Sister A." ”

When they heard this, they immediately turned around and retreated, bowing their heads.

Chang'an left a sentence and turned around, and took Xu Wan to the outer hall study.

Aunt He stayed where she was and thought about it, then turned her head and instructed the little palace maid beside her, the princess woke up and immediately went to the small kitchen to call her, and then turned around and went to arrange refreshments for the little palace.

She looked at this hour and saw that it was almost time to eat, and His Royal Highness usually had a small appetite, and if the refreshments were too solid, he would not need much in the evening.

With Xin went to the Sizhen Bureau because of the trivial matters of the Fanghua Banquet, and she couldn't rest assured that she would hand it over to other subordinates, so it was safer to go by herself.

As soon as Mu Chang'an Fu stepped into the study room of the outer hall, he asked directly, "What does the palace say?" ”

Xu Wan immediately bowed down and replied.

"Back to His Royal Highness, the emperor has ordered General Fang to be sent to prison, and no visit is allowed without a royal order, Xu Xiang, Su Xiang, General Xiu, Lord Zhou, Lord Wang, Lord Zheng, Lord Feng, Lord Liu, Lord Qian and other more than a dozen adults have been urgently edicted to enter the palace."

Before the founding of the People's Republic of China, the old system of the Seven Palaces and Pavilions was abolished, and the two phases of the left and right were established, and the left and right ministers of the cabinet were the first and secondary, and the right minister, the loyal and brave generals, and the imperial historians of the Imperial Observatory were tied for the second assistant.

Rao is like this, and the Holy Emperor is not at ease, and has been promoting talented people from the poor family openly and secretly over the years.

It is true that he wants to suppress the family, but more importantly, he wants to weaken the cabinet.

Since Fang Ge left, Mu Changan has never left Luoshui, and it was not surprising to hear the news of Fang Ge's detention at this time.

"The cabinet, the criminal department, the military department, and the Dali Temple are all responsibilities, but I don't want the Ministry of Rites to be called."

Since the reign of the Holy British Emperor, it has been rare for the six Shangshu to be summoned at the same time in the past year.

And the unexpected Ministry of Rites in Mu Chang'an's mouth, this has to start from when Emperor Shengying was still the fourth prince, at that time, Qian Sanli of the Ministry of Rites was appointed by the former emperor to be the prince's mentor for a period of time.

Qian Sanli is notoriously old-fashioned and stubborn, and he acts strictly, but the first emperor personally ordered him to be the prince's teacher.

Therefore, although the Holy Emperor was not close to him, he had to give him some thin noodles.

When the Holy Emperor ascended the throne, he treated him very favorably, and gave him rewards every once in a while.

But no one knows what this old man thinks, whenever the Holy Emperor discusses with him, he always has the ability to go against the emperor's true intentions.

Over time, the emperor no longer summoned the six departments at the same time to add blockage to his own heart.

Xu Wan knew that the little master in front of him didn't like to drag mud and water the most, so he simply leaned over neatly and continued: "Xu Xiang and Lord Wang will deal with it severely, and use the military law to calm the army's heart." ”

Speaking of this, Xu Wan paused, and then thought about it for a moment before continuing, "Lord Feng seconded. ”

Xu Wan closed his eyes and said in one breath, thinking that the county lord would be angry even if he was not angry.

How do you know that the little master in front of him only asked in a deep voice, "What did Dali Temple say?" There was no pause.

Xu Wan couldn't help but raise his head slightly, touching the corner of the skirt, and the fabric knew at a glance that it was the Sifang brocade of Yuzhang County, and only six or seven horses were sent to the palace every year.

Yuzhang County is not far from returning to the south, and it has been affected by the war of Ruihe returning to the south in one year, and it has only been two or three horses in the past two years.

Every year, except for one horse that is sent to the Middle Palace as usual, it is all transferred by the emperor and sent to Luoshui Palace.

And Luoshui Palace, thinking of this, Xu Wan didn't dare to look at the corner of the clothes anymore, but he just replied more and more carefully.

"Lord Zhou and General Xiu strongly advocated that they must find out the cause of this matter, not deal with it hastily, and not teach other generals stationed at the border pass to chill, Lord Zheng and Lord Liu seconded the proposal."

Everyone in the palace knows that the master of Luoshui Palace ordered that all the Sifang brocade paid by Yuzhang County every year be cut to the lord of Chang'an County to make regular clothes for weekdays.

"Make some regular clothes that fit well." It was the original words of the eldest princess at that time, but she didn't want to secretly know how many palace concubines were red and hated.

What Sifang Jin represents is power and honor.

For a long time, Xu Wan only heard the sound of knuckles tapping on the table, and after a while, he heard that his heart was also beating suddenly, and he couldn't live in peace, so he continued.

"Your Majesty asked Lord Qian what he meant, and Lord Qian meant that the general stationed in the border returned to Beijing without an order, and the reason must be investigated."

"After that, Lord Zheng admonished, General Fang returned to Beijing in disguise, and there was an accident, so he could send someone to Yanbei to carefully investigate the military defense of Yanbei in recent years."

"Your Majesty immediately agreed, and Lord Qian will preside over the trial, and you will fully cooperate with Lord Qian's investigation, and you must find out this matter clearly and clearly."

"Zheng Deming can earn his current status, naturally he has a part of his ability, at least in terms of figuring out the emperor's heart, there are few people."

Some people are born as geniuses born for the power field, and others can't envy them.

When Xu Wan heard this, he was very puzzled, so he bowed down and asked, "Then Your Highness, do you need to make a point?" ”

"Your Highness, the eldest princess has woken up and called you over."

The voice outside the door was Aunt He.

She was just packing up the refreshments prepared for His Royal Highness and preparing to send them, but she saw the little palace maid who had left her on duty hurriedly looking for her.

said that the princess was awake and wanted to see the county lord immediately, so she put down her things and asked the little palace maid to send the refreshments to the back of the inner hall to pass the word.

When Mu Changan heard this, his eyebrows stretched, he brushed his sleeves and got up, and said to Xu Wan, "You don't have to pay attention to the imperial study from time to time, it is important to protect the safety of your lords on the way home." ”

This is what it means to secretly let people watch, seeing that she has already stood up, the matter is urgent, Xu Wan does not dare to stay longer, and is busy claiming that it is, "The slave will go down and arrange."

After Xu Wan retreated, Mu Chang'an walked out, turning his head to Aunt He who was waiting on the side as he walked.

"Let the kitchen prepare clear porridge for dinner, Sister Ah uses less at noon, and she sleeps for a while, so she has to use it a little."

Sister Ah has been having a poor appetite recently, and she is also anxious and has been looking for a way.

Aunt He hurriedly saluted and said yes, she couldn't persuade the princess with a light word, once the princess's temper came up, only His Royal Highness could cure the princess for three or four points.

Seeing that the county lord of her family turned around and left after speaking, Aunt He hurriedly caught up, and after walking for a while, she suddenly asked a little more in her heart.

"Your Highness, won't you stay in the palace for dinner tonight?"

"No, it's been more than a few months since I returned to Beijing, and I should go back to the palace to see my sister after I have seen it."

There is also a Qi steward in the palace.

"The slave maid went to prepare some snacks for you to take back, the new pastry master in the small kitchen has tossed a lot of new tricks in the past few days, all of which are the styles you like, and the princess said that she would have to wait until you return to the palace to taste it yourself and then reward it."

Aunt He is obviously extremely confident in the craftsmanship of the pastry master newly dug from Ruyang County by her princess at a great deal of expense.

Mu Changan's footsteps did not stop, and when he heard the voice, he bowed his head slightly, "I'm tired of my aunt." ”

Aunt He saw that she agreed, and hurriedly retreated and prepared to go.

The cooks in the palace of Jiuzhang were invited by Prince Jiuzhang from Yuyang in order to take care of the princess's taste, and the dishes were particularly sweet and greasy.

And the county lord has followed the princess's taste since he was a child, and he is a little spicy, and the sweet and greasy taste is unbearable no matter what.

In the early days, the prince would always take the county lord back to the palace to live, and after returning to the palace, the princess always felt that her children had lost weight.

At that time, they also felt that the county lord was growing up day by day, and she was comforting the princess.

It wasn't until later that the princess dialed Hongrui to go back to the palace with the county lord that she didn't know that the county lord was not used to eating the dishes of the palace and rarely touched his mouth, and the prince and his wife of Jiuzhang were stunned and never found out.

For this, the princess was extremely dissatisfied, and when she heard the news, she set out a fire in the palace to bring the county lord back.

Later, it was King Jing who happened to be in the palace, and when he heard the news that Rong Chen was in the palace, he was rushed to Luoshui to see his sister by his emperor's brother.

Later, after King Jing explained, the princess planned to directly call the cook to go to the palace.

Later, the county lord did not follow, saying that he would only go back for a day or two, so there was really no need to go to such great lengths.

The eldest princess naturally acquiesced.

That's why from then on, every time the county lord returned to the palace, they would wrap a lot of pastries and bring them to her.

At that time, even Aunt He herself felt that she was just a cook, and the little princess was still young, and later the eldest princess inadvertently mentioned it once.

The girl's heart is always easy to understand.

Those were the county lord's biological parents, and no matter what, she always longed for closeness.

Just like when she was a child, she saw that the eldest princess was spicy, and she gradually ate spicy.

It's just one of the many ways a child can show closeness to their loved ones, clumsy and cute.

According to the funeral customs of Dongzhou since ancient times, after the death of the person and the burial, the intimate clothes and daily ornaments must be buried with the funeral to pray for the longevity and peace of future generations.

Even the children in the capital also know that Prince Jiuzhang, who was martyred in the city two years ago, has long made a wish to return to the tomb of King Nan.

Although this move is not in line with the etiquette system, it is not without precedent, and the bloody battle back to the south is really too tragic.

After returning to the south to report the matter and obtaining the consent of the royal family, the eldest princess immediately sent someone to send an urgent report of 800 li to tell the county lord to be sure to bury all the things that returned to the southern palace for the princess and princess.

But the county lord ordered that all the rooms in the palace should be kept as they were, and they were not allowed to be tampered with.

Others don't know, the news is back to the capital, but they, who have been serving her since childhood, have a faint understanding, let alone the eldest princess who understands the county lord like that.

In addition, the county lord returned for the first time, and General Fang returned to Beijing without a will, and the trivial matters were complicated one after another.

A few months have passed, and the county lord has not mentioned returning to the south, the funeral, or the prince and princess of Jiuzhang.

is at this point, even the eldest princess can't rashly say the words of the old chef who has been used in the palace for more than ten years.

They can only serve more carefully.
