In the evening of the same day, the national teacher visited the emperor and brought a piece of spice at the same time, which was a kind of incense, and people who smelled this spice would have a hallucination - they would hallucinate, and see a thing or even a person as they wanted to see.

It's just that this kind of incense will be bad for your health after smelling it for a long time, but since the national teacher has already received the benefits of others, he naturally wants to help others get what they want.

Moreover, he did not tell the emperor the wonderful use of this incense according to the truth, but just told him that this spice was used to calm the nerves and help him sleep, and let him light it at bedtime at night.

At night, the emperor naturally lit spices according to the instructions of the national teacher, and then lay on the bed a little drowsy. The effect of incense has begun to play slowly, silently, but the effect is remarkable.

I don't know how long he slept, the emperor only felt that he had just rested for a few minutes, and then he woke up in a trance, and the magical smell of spices kept pulling him, making him so restless that he couldn't sleep at all.

Suddenly, he saw a woman approaching from his room, her slender back, her long hair slanted behind her like a waterfall. Even though it was in the dark night, the emperor could still see her with cheerful eyebrows and a smile when she looked back.

She is not only beautiful and delicate, but also the only woman the emperor has loved so far, and at that time, it could even be said that the three thousand beauties of the harem loved her alone.

It's a pity that I don't know if it was fate to play tricks, or because I loved her too much, someone pushed her into the water, so that she died in the palace because she was not used to water.

Since then, the emperor has never loved a woman so much, and her figure has always haunted his mind.

"My Queen, is that you?" The emperor opened his mouth to say this, with disbelief and surprise in his tone.

That woman was his first queen, and now the queen in the palace is nothing more than set up to assist the six palaces, and his queen has always been her in his heart.

"It's me...... Emperor. The woman in front of the emperor spoke, her voice was beautiful and gentle, but it was as small as a mosquito.

This is what the national teacher taught her, no matter what the emperor says, you just have to echo and say yes. And the national teacher gave her an antidote, so that she could not be tempted by the incense.

"My Queen!" The emperor didn't care about thirty-seven twenty-one, and took the woman in front of him into his arms and spent a night of spring supper.

When he woke up the next day, the incense burned out, and the emperor came to his senses and looked at a concubine lying beside him. There were too many concubines in his harem, and for a while he couldn't remember which concubine was beside him.

The emperor covered his faintly aching forehead and tried to remember everything that happened last night, last night he clearly remembered that there was no concubine to sleep, but now there was a naked woman lying next to him.

"Your Majesty......" The woman turned around and saw the other party's eyebrows, and the emperor was stunned in his heart, it was too similar, it was too similar. Look at the eyebrows, the corners of the lips, and the curvature of the face are exactly the same as the queen in his heart.

"You are ......" The emperor couldn't help but reach out and touch her cheek, but what he could be sure in his heart was that he was not his queen, and he couldn't remember her name.

The woman was very shy, and she replied in her thin and soft voice: "Your Majesty, the concubine is always here." ”

This weak and weak character is indeed not like her, but this appearance cannot be complimented, and the resemblance is breathtaking.

God must be willing to give him another chance, so that he can have his beloved woman again, this time he must let her enjoy endless glory and wealth, and love her well.

The emperor instantly decreed: "Spread my will, and now I will promote An Changzai to Concubine An, give him a residence in Yanxi Palace, reward him with gold and silver, and then pick some things and send them over." ”

Jump three levels in a row! This is something that even the current Concubine An can't think of, she was stunned, and almost forgot to kowtow to thank her.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Concubine An cried with joy, this blessing from heaven will definitely be able to save her family from dire straits, it will definitely be possible.

That morning, the news spread throughout the harem, and an unknown woman changed from a regular presence to a concubine just because of her bedding, which was something that no one had ever done before, which made many women jealous, and Concubine An suddenly became the target of public criticism.

But so what? As long as there is the emperor's favor, these are just small things.

The national teacher secretly handed over his incense to Concubine An, and everything she has now is inseparable from this small and inconspicuous spice.

"With her, you don't have to fear falling back from where you are, but if you want more, you have to pay the price you deserve."

The national teacher had something to say, and Concubine An naturally knew in her heart that she had already prepared the things that needed to be handed over to the national teacher, and the three mountains of silver in the hands of the maids were enough to buy half a year's worth of spices.

"This is what this palace should have given you, this palace said that you will have more after the deed," Concubine An did not forget her promise, she was a man of her word, "As for spices, this palace will give you extra money." ”

"Yes, thank you Concubine Ann for the reward." Who doesn't love the gold owner, the national teacher also feels that this is a good deal in his heart.

Since then, the emperor has been more involved in the harem, and even with Concubine An, he accompanies him every day to play in the mountains and rivers, and the other concubines are jealous, but they are helpless.

In the eyes of others, although Concubine An is a little like the former queen back then, if you look closely, she doesn't look like it at all, and she has a weak temperament, everyone can't imagine what kind of tricks this person uses to make the emperor obey her so much and be so affectionate.

The harem is like this, and the previous dynasty is not much better, and the emperor goes to the early dynasty less and less, and almost most of the time he obeys the arrangement of the national teacher to let the prince do the work for him.

Above the court, the crown prince will naturally automatically ignore some remarks that are not helping his ministers, and can even fabricate some untrue things to slander them in front of the emperor.

Early this morning, an official who usually acts impartially said to Prince Bingming: "His Royal Highness the Prince, Xie Zheng, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, is suspected of embezzlement and bribery of about 100 million yuan and silver. Because of his high and powerful officials, he sent people to negotiate the price of anyone who came to the six ministries to seek officials, and then awarded officials "above board" after everything was done. ”

Moreover, those who seek official positions only need to send a magistrate to send an official document to the capital, and the letter must be marked with "something is offered together". If he didn't write it, he didn't open it at all. Such a bad behavior must be severely punished! ”

Everything the minister said was true, but he ignored one point, the corrupt official in his mouth was a person under the prince, and a lot of the money he embezzled was still flattered to the prince.

What's more, if it weren't for the help of the prince behind this, how could he be so smooth sailing. The minister could be said to have spoken ill of the prince in front of the prince, which made the prince's face quickly gloomy.

"I see." The prince's simple words made the minister feel a little uneasy, but if this corrupt official is not severely punished, how can the style of official history be rectified in a country.

"Please also ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to be sure to explain the facts to the emperor and tell the truth all!"

The crown prince didn't say anything on his face, but after the early dynasty, he was ready to show the emperor the political affairs of the morning court.

The emperor was still intimate with Concubine An at this time, and Concubine An was lying in the emperor's arms, with a shy appearance, and the emperor was smiling, with a pampered look in his eyes.

"Father." The crown prince smiled secretly, it was best for the emperor to spend his time like this, so that this throne would be in his pocket as soon as possible.

"You're here," the emperor recognized it as the crown prince just by listening to the voice, but he didn't look up at him, "Say, what's the matter with the court this morning?" ”

The prince's mind was running quickly, and then he said to the emperor: "This time, there was a minister Bingming who said that a supervisor of the Criminal Department placed by the King of Chu was suspected of corruption and bribery, and the emperor must severely punish him." ”

"Is that really the case?" The emperor's face suddenly became serious, he has always hated the corrupt officials who give bribes, and anyone who is caught must be punished heavily.

"The evidence is conclusive!" The prince clapped his hands, and a eunuch flattered him with some letters, which looked a little old, and it was written on them that some people who were seeking officials had written on them all about the official positions they had asked for and the money and treasures they had handed over.

It's just that the first sign of this letter is not the official named Xie Zheng who was mentioned by the officials above at the beginning, but the name of another official, and the prince completely blamed another person for this matter!

"Damn, that's unreasonable!" The emperor was furious, and Concubine An looked frightened and anxious, so she could only hide in his arms and tremble, not daring to say anything.

"Father, this matter is because the king of Chu has no eyes to understand people, and he can't teach the officials who are released by himself, and I ask my father to deal with it quickly, so that he can recover the loss in time."

"Someone come, spread my will, immediately arrest the head of the criminal department, loot the gold and silver treasures in his house, if it exceeds five million silver taels, the whole family will be exiled abroad, and no more steps into the country will be allowed!"

The emperor's temper is also very impatient now, and he is also much more irritable, and he quite believes what the prince said. This made the prince even more bold, and dared to wantonly scold the king of Chu above the court.

However, the king of Chu is very innocent, what he did not do was forcibly detained by the prince, and now the forces of the previous dynasty are mainly on the prince's side, and the rest have been almost always squeezed.

The crown prince will even say a lot of bad things about the king of Chu in front of the emperor, which makes the power of the king of Chu drop again and again in the entire capital and even the whole country.

Seeing that the crown prince's side was smooth sailing, the king of Chu couldn't help but start deciding to fight back.
