In the spring of the first year of Taixi, Luoyang, the capital of God!

As soon as the sky was slightly bright, there were already people standing outside the gate of the West Garden of the Imperial Palace, and they were gathered in groups of three or five to exchange news gossip and gossip with each other about the recent events. Some are afraid that people will hear whispers, and some people are afraid that people will not hear loud discussions. There was a burst of laughter from this pile for a while, and a sigh came from the pile for a while, and I don't know what emotion I heard again.

When the hour came, the gate of the West Garden opened on time, and several attendants came out of the door. Some of them carried horizontal tables, some carried wooden stools, and some carried willow baskets. After a while, several people worked together to set up a table.

The people who talked stopped talking one after another, and sat down with ease and called the waiter to order food.

"Five cages of No. 1 mutton buns! Four portions of porridge! ”

"Six bowls of porridge at table three, three catties of cakes!"

······

After the guests finished ordering, the waiter shouted at the throat to report to the courtyard, his voice was sharp and slender, it turned out to be a group of eunuchs!

The guests were not surprised at all, and began to talk again while the waiter was cooking.

A guest took out a pair of chopsticks from the willow basket and knocked down the edge of the table, waiting for the others to look at it and say, "Hey! Look! I don't know if I thought this was the entrance of the Nanfang vegetable market! The beautiful inner courtyard of the palace was actually run by him into a market and a stall for breakfast, and the way our grandfather of the prince messed around is really chic! ”

"A few days ago, his housekeeper Du Xi reminded him that Empress Jia's violent temperament would definitely harm him in the future, and advised him to stay away from Empress Jia's people, guess what? Not only was he furious, but he also asked people to put the needle in the cushion where Du Xi often sits, and Du Xi was pierced until his buttocks bled after he sat down! You also know that Du Xi's temper is notoriously stubborn, and he and the prince pointed their noses and quarreled over this! ”

"In my opinion, this stubborn character is also what Empress Jia is used to, who made him not born to Empress Jia! The crown prince was so smart when he was a child, when he was five years old, there was a fire in the palace, and the first emperor climbed the tower to check the situation. The crown prince dragged the placket of the emperor's clothes and walked to the dark place. The first emperor asked him why, and the prince said that there might be something wrong with the fire at night. In a hurry, you should be prepared for very different accidents, and you should not let the fire shine on your majesty. Listen, how clever it is! Until now, others have become aggressive roosters as soon as they provoke them, either they are biological babies or they don't teach them well, and they teach a smart and clever man to be a reckless man! ”

"When the first emperor was here, he praised him for having the style of Taizu, but now there is only the wind of gentleness!"

As he was saying that the meal of several people had arrived, the waiter came over with a lunch box and put it on the horizontal table. Several people took their chopsticks from the willow basket and began to eat.

The person who spoke just now was still unsatisfied: "I dare to pack a ticket, these three catties of cakes are definitely not a lot of one or two!" Whether it is the amount or taste, this prince is much better than Luoshui's side! ”

"That is, his maternal grandfather was a shepherd, and it can be regarded as a family heirloom in terms of starting a knife to make food!"

Although the next few comments are compliments, there is a strong disdain in the words. The crown prince will eventually succeed to the throne, so it will be difficult to prevent such criticism and will lay the root of the curse, one of them reminded vaguely: "Don't say it, these are not what we can comment on, eat quickly, the court meeting is about to start!" ”

When several people came to their senses when they heard this, they stopped talking, and began to eat with their heads covered and snoring!

The person just said is right, the pilgrimage meeting is about to begin! This is the Imperial Palace, not the entrance of the Nanfang Vegetable Market!

These people are naturally not bitter people who buy manpower by the Luoshui River, and the lowest of them also has more than 300 taels of Yulu, all of whom are relatives of the emperor and the emperor. Usually in the court, they would wait outside the Taiji Palace, since the crown prince Sima Shu opened this breakfast stall at the gate of the West Garden, the courtiers have come here to wait, by the way to have some breakfast. The morning meeting sometimes starts late, and if you don't eat anything to cushion your stomach, you will faint with hunger when you arrive at the morning end.

After eating, the courtiers threw the money into the willow basket and hurried to the Taiji Palace. The chamberlain took the basket and entered the West Garden to report to the prince.

Inside the West Garden Gate, the prince Sima Shu stretched his waist, his arms were not lowered, and the chamberlain came over and pulled the back of the prince's neck, and then took off the greasy apron of His Royal Highness the prince.

As soon as the apron was removed, Sima Shu's image instantly changed from a guy to a gentleman. With a lazy look, he asked lazily, "How much did you collect today?" ”

"Prince, forty-six times! These courtiers are really a group of fat sheep, we can sell this little thing to the vegetable market for two times, and it has multiplied dozens of times when we get here, and we don't owe anything! ”

"This is the advantage of being divided into several tables, which table has less money, you will know that it is that group of people, they are all important ministers, and they can't afford to lose that face! It's really in vain that I drove away those itinerant vendors outside and took up this unique business! ”

The chamberlain stretched out his thumb and complimented: "The prince is wise!" ”

Sima Shu flipped the basket and said disdainfully: "Who will put it in the eyes of just a few dollars, take it and divide it in a while!" Tell me about hearing some useful news from the root of the wall today? That's what really counts! ”

Speaking of business, the chamberlain began to get serious and returned: "The people at the table of Wang Taibao criticize His Highness, and they are full of disdain for His Highness like that!" ”

Sima Shu sneered: "I'm just a gentleman, it's normal for them to look down on me, it's okay to worry!" Anything else? ”

The prince said that he was a gentleman, and the chamberlain naturally did not dare to take it seriously. This prince is shrewd! This can be seen from the fact that the West Garden sells early. Where will the princes who have earned early pay attention to it, but the courtiers of the early dynasty will gather here to more or less talk about the things that need to be reported in the court. Several of the attendants are all deaf and clear-sighted people, and they will report what they hear, so that although the prince does not go to the court, he will not know anything about the court. And all this is regarded as nonsense, but everyone knows that it is such nonsense, which makes people consciously ignore the prince's intelligence, and can calmly arrange the secret.

As far as the matter just now is concerned, the chamberlain followed the prince for a long time and understood the prince's temper. If the prince reproaches a few words, then he doesn't take it to heart, so it shows that His Royal Highness the prince has a grudge, and he may not be thinking about how to retaliate back, and it is foreseeable that Wang Taibao will be suppressed in the court in the future. The chamberlain raised his eyes and glanced at Sima Shu, seeing that the prince was a little impatient and continued: "There is also the table where the court captain is sitting Speaking of cases, the skillful family in the east of the city died inexplicably, and the slave feels that this matter is a bit strange!" ”

"What's the strange thing to hear?"

The chamberlain said: "The prince told the slave before that it is most appropriate for the queen mother to bring down the charges that Yang Jun can use to rebel, since it is slander, it is necessary to create evidence." Yang Jun's reason for controlling the forbidden army and using weapons privately is untenable. The rest is only to make a fuss about the imperial robe and jade seal!

But these kinds of things are not something that ordinary people can make, but the skillful hands are one of the few people who can weave dragon robes. After the prince finished speaking, the slave fell into his heart, and he secretly looked at the skillful hands, although he was old, he was energetic and died early!

Now that he is killed by skillful hands, someone must have killed someone, which means that he has done a good job of evidence! This means that they are not far from being activated! ”

Sima Shu frowned noncommittally and said: "Didn't I tell you not to be a slave in front of me in the future, why can't you remember it in a hurry?" ”

Although it was a reproach, the chamberlain not only did not give birth to emotions, but was a little moved: "Your Highness said to the slave that whether a person is sound or not depends not on whether there are two taels of flesh on his body, but whether his mind is sound, and the slave has always kept it in his heart. The slave is a person who is left to be punished, and His Royal Highness still treats the ministers as people inside and outside the palace, so the slave is unwilling to change his words. I am afraid that this palace compound will be full of people, in case it will be heard and cause unnecessary trouble, which will ruin His Highness's affairs! ”

"It's okay, it's hard for you! So when do you think they'll do it? ”

"Yang Jun is cronyistic, and there are many henchmen in the DPRK and China. If Empress Jia wants to take him down, she needs foreign aid, and there is no one else except the clan. Recently, Sima Wei, the king of Chu, Sima Yun, the king of Huainan, and Sima Xuan, the king of Andong, have all entered Beijing, when they enter the palace together, when will they do it! ”

Sima Shu stretched out a thumbs up and praised: "Awesome, this can be imagined, this time the two most powerful people in our Great Jin will definitely be killed by you!" ”

"Hey, hey, hey!"

"Boom!"

The two looked at each other and let out an eerie laugh.

After laughing, the chamberlain frowned again, and said worriedly: "The slave is worried about Yang Jun's side, there is no shortage of smart people in the Yang Party, if they are prepared, it will be difficult for us to do it!" ”

Sima Shu patted the chamberlain on the shoulder and said: "Of course, the Yang Party has no shortage of smart people, but the Yang Party is powerful and Yang Jun is stubborn, so he won't take Empress Jia in his eyes at all, and he won't care about the opinions put forward by those smart people!" ”

Sima Shu took out a porcelain vase from his bosom and threw it to the chamberlain: "You keep an eye on the palace, Sima Wei will notify me as soon as he enters the palace!" ”

"Yes! Prince! ”

The chamberlain stretched out his hand to catch the porcelain vase and asked puzzledly, "What is this?" ”

"It's perfume! The fragrance sprinkled on the body is stronger than the sachet, and it is used to please Jia Nanfeng! ”

The chamberlain understands in seconds, although Jia Nanfeng is the queen, he is too ugly. In order to make up for his shortcomings, Jia Nanfeng can be said to be racking his brains. She didn't know who she heard that pearls could beautify her face, so she scavenged almost all the pearls, and ordered the king of the East China Sea to offer no less than five buckets of pearls every year!

Pearls are not copper coins, which require people to dive into the deep sea to salvage enough mussels, and then peel off the shells of mussels and save them one by one. Not to mention five buckets, even one bucket is difficult to collect. For this reason, Sima Yue, the king of the East China Sea, was so miserable that he had to send a ship to the natives in the south to buy it. If it weren't for the Queen Mother's permission for him to use beads to collect, the King of the East China Sea would definitely not agree!

It has always been like this, this is called the right medicine!

The chamberlain received the perfume and went to the harem to keep an eye on it.
