In Hanshan Zhai, Xu De and Feng Tianshou were playing chess, this time, Xu De actually had the upper hand faintly, but his expression was much more dignified than Feng Tianshou, who fell behind, for fear of making a wrong move.

Feng Tianshou looked at Xu De's appearance with interest and smiled.

In front of the bookcase, there was a young man who was dealing with the twists and turns, this person had a beautiful face, but his face was very pale, and even the blue blood vessels could be seen around his temples, although he wore a red gold robe, but he could not hide the gloomy taste on his body at all.

This person is the son of Qin Wangfu and Xu You, the son of Xu De. At this moment, the folds he handled were all reviewed by Xu De and Feng Tianshou, but despite this, he still wrote his own opinions and handling opinions on the folds. Since Xu De was named King of Qin, he has been exercising Xu You's ability in this way, and the Four Books and Five Classics that he had always insisted on were put down.

Xu You raised his head and looked at his father and teacher who were playing chess, the two of them were concentrating on the chessboard at the moment, and they were not distracted to care about Xu You.

Xu You's forehead hair drooped, he gently brushed the hanging forehead hair up, and said, "Father, teacher, I've finished reading it." ”

"So fast?" Xu De was obviously surprised, this was his first game of chess with Feng Tianshou.

"If nothing else, I'll step back first." Xu De nodded, Xu You bowed and withdrew from Hanshan Zhai.

At this moment, there is a big mess on the chessboard. Xu De was distracted for a while, and took a vicious step, Feng Tianshou's eyes lit up, and with just one son, he blocked Xu De's way.

After that, Xu De's soldiers were defeated like a mountain, and he was no longer able to resist Feng Tianshou's attack, as the so-called carelessness lost all the games.

"Lord Wang, can you be convinced?"

Xu De didn't speak, still thinking about which step he had a big problem, seeing Xu De like this, Feng Tianshou simply got up and came to the bookcase, picked up Xu You's corrected folds, and read them one by one. From time to time, smile and nod and stroke your beard.

"How?" Xu De came alive from the chess game and asked Feng Tianshou on the side.

"The prince can already be on his own." Feng Tianshou was astonished.

"Send him to the Western Barracks to sharpen his skills?" Xu De asked.

"I think it's necessary, although the son of the world is not in good health, but leading the army to fight, this is also an important ability."

"Then I'll think again."

"The prince should have made a decision as soon as possible, and he saw that the capital was not peaceful."

"What do you mean by that?" Xu De raised his head, his eyeliner spies were all over the city, why did he feel that Tianjing City had been a lot quieter recently.

"It's too quiet, it's not normal, it's like the eve of a storm, and it may be safe to send the son to the front line at this moment." Feng Tianshou said in one word, it turned out that what he said was not peaceful, and it was just a feeling.

But Xu De knew that Feng Tianshou was definitely worthy of this title when he was called Lao Hu, and his sensitivity to the situation was even higher than that of Xu De.

"I agreed to this matter, and I have to explain it clearly to the princess, she has the worst time at that level." Xu De confessed to Feng Tianshou. Since the princess was pregnant, she has been a living female emperor in this Qin Palace.

"One more thing, lord." Feng Tianshou put down the fold in his hand and continued: "Recently, there has been a bit of a problem in the imperial history. ”

"Huh? I didn't pay attention to this, and Wu Dakai didn't tell me. Xu De's eyes were full of doubts, and Xu De felt a little uneasy about the situation that he could not fully grasp.

"Recently, these imperial histories have been idle, and they have begun to urge the emperor to get married and have children."

"What's wrong with that? It stands to reason that the emperor is pro-government, so he should get married. I've been deliberately not mentioning this before, troublesome. "Thinking of the tears in the eyes of the emperor who followed him once and called himself a general. Is this emperor going to get married?

"When the emperor gets married, there will naturally be a queen, and if there is a queen, there will naturally be a relative, and a relative, who is the emperor's new support." When Feng Tianshou said this, the smile on his face did not decrease, as if he was saying something that was not painful.

"In your opinion, who planned it? Emperor? Would he have this in mind? Xu De thought for a moment and asked the question.

"Don't panic, don't panic, we don't know if anyone is secretly planning this matter, if it's really that group of bullshit Yushi is idle and has nothing to do, we shoot blindly, it seems that we are all soldiers, and we are weak in heart."

Xu De nodded and said: "Then we must catch this matter as soon as possible, and don't give outsiders a chance to interfere, if the little emperor climbs the Guangnan palace or the royal family, it will be troublesome." ”

"What the prince said is true, you mention this matter when you go to court, and the queen picks one that is easy to grasp in her hands."

Xu De held a chess piece in his fingers, the chess piece was cold, rolling around in his hand, thinking about it for a long time, he really didn't expect a suitable person to be the queen.

"Why don't you find an ordinary woman from the people?" Xu De asked.

"It's not suitable, ordinary women's women are more likely to be rebelled, let's find one, even if it's not close to us, but at least it won't help the emperor's woman."

Feng Tianshou smiled sinisterly, as soon as he saw this smile, Xu De knew that this old fox was going to be yin again. He simply asked, "Who?" ”

"Wancofa, that old thing! But he has a good daughter, and he is already engaged to the son of Liu Guang, the household servant. If this woman is sent to the harem, maybe Liu Guang will have a fight with Wan Kefa. Feng Tianshou had a sinister smile on his face, he had been thinking about this decision for several days, and only this person was the most suitable.

"What is the law?" Xu De said in a low voice, since Wan Kefa was beaten by the emperor with twenty sticks last month, it has been a month since he went to court, and in the past month, many officials have asked the emperor to issue an edict to appease Wan Kefa.

The emperor didn't agree at first, but after being softly ground and soaked by the ministers for a few days, he finally agreed, and issued an edict to appease Wan Kefa and let him continue to be the official of the criminal department.

This completely annoyed the emperor, and the emperor even said at the court meeting that Wan Kefa was an old horseman, an old dog who could not be killed, and even sent someone to kill Wan Kefa. Although in the end, Wan Kefa was only removed from his official position and his life was saved, but the emperor's operation broke the hearts of loyal ministers.

Thinking about this, Xu De nodded and said, "This person is very good, but I don't know if the woman will be unwilling, or even forced to die." ”

"No, what a man, his daughter is what he watched grow up."

"Then this matter is like this, I will take the time to bring it up in the court."

"The prince promoted Qin Sanxuan?" Feng Tianshou asked.

"Yes, let him be the secretary of the ministry. Although this person is old, his fame is heavier than Wu Dakai, and he has more means than Wu Dakai. ”

Feng Tianshou heard this and smiled, although Qin Sanxuan was already in the same camp as them, he was still ashamed of that Qin Sanxuan.

Who is this Qin Sanxuan? It is the squire of the criminal department, who has been following Wan Kefa for a lifetime, and seeing that he is more than sixty years old, he actually switched to Xu De's command, just to take another step from the squire to Shangshu.

This matter is also related to the emperor, since the Wan Ke Law was dismissed, the officials of the Criminal Department are more uncomfortable than one another, there was no Shangshu, and he was about to go one step further when he saw it, who would have thought that the emperor had always deliberately ignored the position of the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, which made Qin Sanxuan, who was eager for fame, very annoyed, and finally switched to Xu De.

In other words, this Qin Sanxuan was forced by the emperor to Xu De's boat, although most of the original courtiers were angry at this kind of behavior and reprimanded Qin Sanxuan several times, but Qin Sanxuan sat in the position of Shangshu, and no longer ignored the eyes of others, and helped Xu De do things in a down-to-earth manner.

"Qin Sanxuan is also embarrassed." Feng Tianshou said with a smile.

"Fame and fortune, who came out to be an official, who is not for these things. I can just give it to him. This kind of person is easy to use. Xu De said calmly, think about it carefully, for thousands of years, how many dynasties have risen and fallen in this land of Shenzhou, and how many courtiers have risen and fallen, in the final analysis, fame and fortune are just a matter of fame and fortune.

The emperor was quite elegant today, and ordered people to bring all the things to the pavilion in the imperial garden. Last night, Liu Baihe said to him, there is one thing, the eldest princess is about to do it for him, if this matter is successfully completed, then Xu De will definitely die, and he, the emperor, will definitely be able to recover the power of the world. And he, the emperor, just needs to wait and see what happens.

The emperor hummed a little song in his mouth, and most of the recitals in his hands were half or a few lines, so he dipped a brush in cinnabar and wrote two sentences, Xiao Luzi followed behind him, and ordered the palace maids and eunuchs to do things at any time. A little palace maid stood behind Bingjian, fanning the emperor with a brocade fan.

"Ome still doesn't want to see me?" The emperor asked Xiao Luzi.

"Back to the emperor's words, that Gao Gonggong is not interesting in the eyes of the slaves, relying on the old and selling the old, the emperor is sympathetic to him, and has made such a big preferential treatment, and Gao Gonggong is still biting."

"I only asked you if he wanted to, why did he talk so much." The Emperor's words were not emotional.

When Xiao Luzi heard this, he hurriedly knelt down, fanned his mouth, and said, "The slave should die, the slave should die......"

"Get up." The emperor said lightly: "I also see that you stay by your side to make it easy." ”

"Thank the emperor for Longen, thank the emperor for Longen." Xiao Luzi stood up, he used his strength to pump his mouth, and the red marks on his face gradually swollen at this moment.

The emperor picked up a fold, it was on the imperial history Zhang Qianfu, the emperor looked at it a few times, and threw it aside, these days, he didn't know how much he had read this kind of fold. Those imperial histories seemed to have been discussed, and they came to him in droves, thinking that the emperor should have a son.

Since beating Liu Baihe told the emperor that these palace maids were all people around him, he had already eaten one. The little palace maid who fanned him at that time already had a skin-to-skin relationship with him. It's just a thing of intercourse, the emperor didn't know that it was okay in the past, once the meat was opened, it was a soul that would eat the marrow, and every night, it was difficult to fall asleep without holding the warm and soft body of the little palace maid.

The next day, he couldn't help but be a little lacking in spirit, and the old man of Wan Kefa didn't know what to do, so he always had a fire in his heart, and finally a few days ago, in the face of Gao Lishi, who came up to persuade him, he lost his temper, picked up the brass lampstand and smashed it at Gao Lishi, and smashed the blood of Gao Lishi's old cheek.

The palace maid who was favored by the emperor was called Wan Jiao'er, but she had the same surname as Wan Kefa. Since being fortunate by the emperor, her status in the harem is naturally not the same as in the past, although because there is no queen, she can't be given a place in the three palaces and six courtyards, but she still has a faint noble attitude, except for the emperor, no one in the harem can get into her eyes.

The emperor thought about the future, and his heart couldn't help but be eager, he didn't know who his queen would be, so thinking like this, the emperor actually felt itchy and crispy on his body, an inexplicable heat, spread all over his body. He squinted at the little palace maid who fanned the fan, because she had been fanning the fan for the emperor, there were still beads of sweat on her forehead, a few locks of forehead hair stuck to her sideburns, and her face turned red because of some heat.

The emperor gestured to Xiao Luzi on the side with his eyes, and Xiao Luzi immediately understood and said, "The emperor is driving the Ansheng Palace!" ”

Immediately, a group of people followed the emperor to the Na'an Holy Palace, and the mighty procession looked quite majestic of the Son of Heaven.

Although Wan Kefa has lost his power in the court, his reputation is as high as day by day, and there is an endless stream of people who come to the door every day to see him, but most of them are rejected by the old servant Wan Kefa's injuries have not healed.

At this moment, in the east wing of Wanjia's small courtyard, Wan Rongrong's eyes were red, and it seemed that it was not the first time she had cried, and her mother Deng was also quietly wiping her tears on the side.

Wan Kefa came out of the study, went straight to the east wing, and sighed when he saw the mother and daughter by the door. Ever since he told the mother and daughter about the adult's layout, both the mother and daughter were amazed.

Especially Wan Rongrong, she and Liu Po, the son of Liu Guang, the household servant, childhood sweethearts, two little guesses, soon after she left the cabinet, the Liu family brought someone to the door to propose, originally the family was set after the Mid-Autumn Festival, seeing that good things were coming, her father asked her to marry the emperor who had never met, how could she be willing, and her father could not argue, so she went on a hunger strike and washed her face with tears.

Deng has no children, just such a daughter, she has been held in her hands since she was a child, she is distressed, seeing her daughter like this, Deng's heart is dripping blood, and she also cries with her daughter all day long.

The mother and daughter are like this, and he is not entangled in how he can do it. This Wan Rongrong is the pearl of his palm, and Liu Po is also the child he watched grow up, with good conduct and brilliant writing, and he also won the Jinshi this year, how could he not be uncomfortable when he was separated from such a pair of beautiful people. It's just that the national thief Xu De is really hateful, seeing that the Han family is about to fall, and these loyal ministers are reluctant to die, who else can they count on?

"Rong Rong, the national disaster is at the head!" Wan Kefa opened his mouth to persuade again, which was already something he didn't know how many times he had said in the past few days.

"Father," Wan Rongrong replied for the first time in these days, "what emperor are you waiting, you want to take your own daughter to serve him!" Wan Rongrong stubbornly raised her head, and her crying red eyes glared at Wan Kefa angrily.

"Rongrong." Without waiting for Wan Kefa to attack, Deng Shi hurriedly spoke out to stop Wan Rongrong.

If it were in the past, Wan Rongrong said such rebellious words, Wan Kefa would have scolded her for being a bloody dog, but seeing that the date agreed by the adults was approaching, Rong Rong still didn't let go, so he had to press down and said: "Rong Rong, my father has loved you the most since I was a child, you know." When the national disaster is at hand, you also have to take care of your father. ”

"Father, Rong Rong respects you, but what do you think of me." Wan Rongrong burst into tears again as she spoke, and continued: "If I really marry the emperor, I can't keep my innocence in this life, but whose engaged woman marries someone else?" ”

"That's no one else, it's the emperor of our Han Dynasty."

"The emperor of the Han Dynasty is not the one I want to marry!"

"Rong Rong, admit your mistake with your father!" Deng Shi was trembling with anger when he saw Wan Kefa's beard, and hurried to pull Wan Rongrong.

Wan Rongrong finally annoyed Wan Kefa when he spoke like this, he pointed at Wan Rongrong and said, "It's up to you!" You have to marry if you don't marry! Big deal, I can't do it, I don't have a daughter like you! ”

"Sir!" Then Deng Shi turned around and shouted Wan Kefa, she was sandwiched between the two, and she was the most sad.

"Don't you think I am?" Wan Rongrong's voice was indescribably lonely, and said: "I will marry, I will fulfill your father-in-law, and I will no longer recognize you in the future, you go out." ”

Wan Kefa's heart seemed to be fried in an oil pot, but when he heard that his daughter finally agreed, he finally moved out of the east wing step by step. Loyal and pro, he finally chose loyalty.

Seeing that Wan Kefa withdrew from the east wing, Wan Rongrong buried her head in the quilt and cried loudly, she couldn't understand how the father who secretly saved money to buy her hairpins and rouge gouache became like this, what kind of magic does the reputation of this loyal minister have, is it really more important than the happiness of his daughter?

Deng Shi looked at his daughter crying, as a woman, it was difficult to do anything, so she could only pat Wan Rongrong's back and cry silently.

Wan Kefa exited the east wing and looked up at the sky, the sky was clear, and he didn't seem to understand what the person looking up to it was going through.

Being a queen and being a loyal minister, this bright and open avenue has broken the love between father and daughter.
