Chapter 242

The more he pondered it, the more interesting he felt, and for a long time he couldn't help but laugh softly.

It had always been quiet in the imperial study, and Li Shimin's laughter was very sudden. Sun Xiaoxiao glanced at the darkness outside, the snowflakes did not stop, his heart moved slightly, he took two steps forward, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, what are you so happy to see?" ”

Li Shimin glanced up at him, smiled more, and said, "Is there something wrong with this Wu Youwei, he actually proposed that I pardon Yang Lian." ”

Sun Xiaoxiao's eyes moved slightly, and he said with some puzzlement: "Wu Youwei colluded with Lu Chunru, nothing more than to resurrect the Donglin Party, and he wants to rescue Yang Dahong, isn't it normal?" Why is the emperor laughing? ”

As soon as Wang Ji entered Beijing, he was closely watched by the Jinyi Guard, they seemed to be hidden, but in fact, everything was shrouded by the Jinyi Guard, and with so many movements, they couldn't hide Li Shimin's eyes at all.

Li Shimin pointed at him and said with a smile: "You still don't understand, once I pardon Yang Lian, as soon as Yang Lian accepts and is released from prison, it means that Yang Lian has completely confessed his guilt, so there is no room for the Donglin case to be reversed, so how can the Donglin Party be resurrected?" ”

Sun Xiaoxiao understood, and immediately said thoughtfully: "What the emperor said is that I don't know if this is Wu Youwei's own opinion, or Wang Ji's instructions behind his back, if Wang Ji instructs, they will be too confused." ”

Li Shimin nodded and smiled, holding the notebook.

This Wu Youwei gave him an inspiration, and maybe even helped him a lot.

All along, he and Shilin have had an atmosphere of "confrontation". The influence of the Donglin Party is too great, most of the scholars in the Ming Dynasty are on their side, and Li Shimin's series of reforms have deeply touched the interests of the gentry.

But if he pardons Yang Lian, this "goodwill" will be enough to touch a large part of the people, plus the reopening of the imperial examination next year, it will definitely attract many people to stand on his side and the court.

This will be of great benefit to a series of measures of the "New Deal"!

"This Wu Youwei is very good." Li Shimin stood up and said with a smile: "I like it very much, it's a talent, give him a promotion, take a look, think about it again, what position is more suitable for him?" ”

Sun Xiaoxiao understood Li Shimin's mind best, thought about it for a while, and said: "Your Majesty, there is still a lack of a vice president in the Royal Political Yuan, and Wu Youwei's official rank is suitable." ”

The more Li Shimin smiled, nodded at him, and said, "You are cunning, okay, it's nothing more than a month, let him go." ”

"Yes." Sun Xiaoxiao followed Li Shimin's side and walked out of the imperial study.

Li Shimin went out of the imperial study and found that the heavy snow had eroded half of the corridors, and the accumulation was a foot deep, and he was afraid that he would lose half of his legs outside.

The sky above the capital was even more ghosts crying wolves, whimpering constantly.

Several internal supervisors walked in front with lanterns, and Sun Xiaoxiao followed behind.

The heavy snow is still drifting, and there is a tendency to fall more and more, Li Shimin suddenly thought of something, and said sideways: "In my impression, there has not been such a heavy snow in the capital for a long time, Sun Xiaoxiao, do you have any impression?" ”

Sun Xiaoxiao looked outside and said, "No, this is the first snow of the year, and it is inevitable that it will be bigger." ”

Li Shimin looked at it while walking, and secretly said in his heart, "It's okay if it's just a little bigger, but if it's a snow disaster, it's more terrible than a drought......

During this period, Li Shimin didn't feel strange about what happened, but it was shocking enough.

Out of Jingyang Palace, there are some internal supervisors on the road, the palace maid is cleaning the road, the snow is too big, the front is cleared out, and the back is covered again.

Li Shimin looked at a group of people, sighed with both hands, and said, "Forget it, let them all go back, let's talk about it tomorrow, if there is nothing to do tonight, let's rest early." ”

Sun Xiaoxiao knew that Li Shimin was very "sympathetic", and when she heard this, she said: "Yes, the slaves and maids thank the emperor for them." ”

Li Shimin waved his hand and said, "Just leave a few people to watch, you can go back later, you will get up late tomorrow, it will be colder these days, pay attention." ”

"Yes." Sun Xiaoxiao hurriedly said.

Li Shimin's group soon appeared in Zhilan Palace, which is the dormitory where Moni lives.

Moni stood in front of the door with her belly held up for more than six months, looking at it with some anticipation.

"The concubines see the emperor." When Moni saw Li Shimin, she bowed slightly with joy on her pretty face.

Li Shimin stepped forward and hugged him, and said with a smile: "No need to be formal, it's too cold outside, let's go in." ”

Moni was very happy to go in hand with Li Shimin, and all the palace maids were also very excited, and they were even happier than Moni.

Li Shimin and Moni walked to the inner room, but it was much warmer, Moni was a little overjoyed, hung a coat for Li Shimin, turned around and said softly: "Your Majesty, the concubine has just learned to cook a soup, and please ask the emperor to taste it." ”

Li Shimin smiled and took her hand and sat down, and said, "Sit down, let the next person do it, you are pregnant now, be careful." ”

Moni smiled more and said, "Yes." ”

Li Shimin looked at Moni and felt a little emotional.

I don't know if it's because he focuses on government affairs, he doesn't have much enthusiasm for women, and even now there are only three of them who feel a little too much to take care of, and they are not too willing to scatter their energy to them.

Li Jieyu is okay, Li Shimin has only come four or five times a month on Moni's side, and Bumu Butai basically ignored it when he threw it in Nanjing.

Moni is wearing thick cotton clothes, some Mongolian style, with a big belly, maybe pregnant, she eats more, she has some baby fat, it seems to be more coquettish, and she is more and more charming as a young woman.

"Your Majesty, Niangniang, please eat." A group of palace maids came in with plates, and the fragrance was immediately overflowing.

Moni hurriedly stood up, picked up the small bowl, opened the lid in the middle, carefully filled a bowl, handed it to Li Shimin and said, "Your Majesty, please try it." ”

The whole palace knew that he liked to drink fish soup and chicken soup, Li Shimin took it with a smile, tasted it with a spoon, looked at Moni for a while and smiled: "Yes, there are seven points of skill in the imperial kitchen." ”

Moni suddenly smiled and said, "Then I'll serve another bowl to the emperor." ”

Li Shimin nodded, in fact, Moni's soup is not bad, it is not difficult to drink, but he can't expose it, otherwise it will hurt Moni's heart.

Li Shimin drank another bowl, and then said: "Okay, sit down and eat, don't be restrained." ”

Moni said "um" and sat next to Li Shimin, very careful in her every move.

The palace ladies not far away are secretly happy, if their mothers are favored, their status will also rise and they will be treated better.

Li Shimin ate a few bites, his stomach was padded, and the conversation box opened, holding the bowl and said: "Although your sister did not enter the palace, after all, she has my flesh and blood, I will not treat you badly, when you give birth to a child, I will give you a grade......"

Without waiting for Li Shimin to finish speaking, Moni hurriedly got up and said excitedly: "Concubine Xie Emperor." ”

Li Shimin waved his chopsticks and said: "Fanbang is your hometown, and you also have merit, tomorrow I will make an order to give Fanbang a hereditary throne, a reward of 200,000 silver, silk and satin, gold, silver and jade." ”

Moni shook more and more, and before she could sit down, she was about to kneel down again, Li Shimin stretched out her hand to stop her, and said: "Sit down, you are my woman, stay in the palace with peace of mind, and will not treat you badly, if someone bullies you, you must also boldly say to me, don't have scruples, understand?" ”

Moni's eyes were filled with tears, and she choked up: "Yes, the concubine thanks the emperor for his favor." ”

She is really excited, she has no relatives and no reason in the palace, and there is no one to talk to, if she is not pregnant, the emperor will come over every once in a while, she will worry that she will be so lonely until death for the rest of her life.

Li Shimin beckoned her to dinner, casually asked some details of her life, and then asked some about Bumu Butai.

Moni's emotions fluctuated a little, all of them had one to say, two to say two, and one to fifteen and ten.

Li Shimin smiled from time to time, Moni was different from Bu Mu Butai, her mind was relatively simple, she regarded him as a dependent, and did not hide it at all.

The meal was also harmonious, and after Gong'e cleaned up, Li Shimin scalded his feet for a while, then blew out the lamp, pulled down the curtain and prepared to sleep.

Moni was lying next to Li Shimin, tilting her head sideways, looking at Li Shimin's side face, her eyes were as bright as water, and her heart was difficult to calm down.
