This year's winter seems to be particularly cold, even the plum blossoms planted in the palace bloom earlier than before, and the branches are dotted with white plums like snow and jade, and the dark fragrance floats, and the smell is refreshing.

A big hand that was scenic reached out and broke off a branch, took it to his nose and sniffed, "Incense!" There is no white plum in the middle palace, so this branch is taken to let the queen insert it into the bottle. ”

A little eunuch took it with both hands and walked quickly in the direction of the Middle Palace, and Lao Zhu also walked slowly to the direction of the Jinshen Hall with his hands behind his back.

Since coming back from Penghu, Lao Zhu's mentality has changed a lot, he is still diligent in government affairs, but he is no longer as hysterical as before, he is busy working day and night, and he has to enlarge the stomachs of several concubines.

Life is nourishing and comfortable, even the temper is much better, and he generously rewarded a few thoughtful eunuchs and palace maids, this unprecedented move made the people in the palace feel a lot more relaxed, as if the boulder on the shoulder was removed.

As for government affairs, he was helped by the crown prince and five selected "secretaries", and these "secretaries" were pushed back for decades, which was equivalent to a high-ranking and powerful cabinet elder in the middle and late Ming Dynasty.

But now their official positions are very low, but with the title of a five-grade bachelor, Lao Zhu will not be stupid enough to abolish Zhongshu Province and make another Zhongshu Province, but it is a pity that his children and grandchildren are not angry, and they have turned it into a more powerful institution than Zhongshu Province.

He walked around the back door to the front hall, and looked at Zhu Biao, who was engrossed in the dragon case, with a relieved smile on the corner of his mouth.

Feeling that the shadow was blocking the light, Zhu Biao raised his head and said, "Father has had dinner?" ”

"I've used it!" Lao Zhu casually picked up a book of Zhu Biao's approved recitals and looked at it, nodded with satisfaction: "The approval is good, and even the officials' possible bad intentions are blocked." ”

"It's the good of the father's emperor!"

"Hehe......" Lao Zhu smiled and said: "But your tone is still too gentle, not strict, how can they work hard." ”

"The son has been taught!"

"Well, you go to dinner, and I'll take care of the rest."

Zhu Biao got up and gave up his seat to Lao Zhu, "Father, watch your body, don't approve too late!" ”

Seeing that Zhu Biao was gone, Yuan Sheng said while grinding ink: "The prince can share His Majesty's worries, Your Majesty is light, and his spirit is much better than before." ”

"Huh...... Didn't you also take it lightly. Lao Zhu tore off the fur on his body, "No need to grind the ink, add some charcoal to the brazier, this year's winter is really cold, and there has not been a decent snow so far, and I don't know how the crops in the field are growing." ”

"Your Majesty, rest assured, the wheat planted by the slaves and maids on the edge of the house is growing very well, and there will be a bumper harvest in the coming year!"

"Huh...... You have to find two people to serve you in a palm-sized piece of land, and it would be strange if it didn't grow well. Lao Zhu took a piece of music, "Don't talk to me, go make a bowl of tea." ”

Lao Zhu is also distracted at work, holding a book of music with a dignified expression, sometimes angry, sometimes a faint smile at the corner of his mouth, and then he writes the next paragraph and puts it aside.

Yuan Sheng will take it and pout and blow the ink lightly and then stack it together, from time to time to add tea, polish ink, change candles to Lao Zhu, and serve it thoughtfully and properly, in addition to the crackling sound of charcoal burning in the huge palace, it is the rustle of Lao Zhu's pen.

When the last book was approved, Lao Zhu leaned heavily on the back of the chair, and said in one breath: "It's finally finished, what time is it now?" ”

"Back to the emperor, I just beat the son of the son."

"Oh, it's still early." Lao Zhu got up from the dragon chair, "I want to be relieved!" Yuansheng, have you noticed that I have been much better lately? ”

"Yes, as long as Your Majesty works less, it will naturally be comfortable physically and mentally!"

The two of them said that they went to the apse together, put water in the toilet, and were about to leave the palace to go to the harem, when they saw a little eunuch chasing after them, "Your Majesty, Yang Yanshi brought someone to see you." ”

Yuan Sheng said: "Don't look at what time it is now, the emperor is going to rest, and the big things will be talked about tomorrow." ”

"No need, there must be something important for him to come to see me so late, let him in!" Lao Zhu turned around and returned to the front hall, not long after sitting down on the dragon chair, Yang Shuping entered the hall and pushed the golden mountain to bow down in front of the dragon case, "Weichen Yang Shuping meets Your Majesty!" ”

Lao Zhu asked straight to the point, "Did you catch Han Cheng's handle?" Bring! ”

"Time is in a hurry, Weichen didn't write it, but he brought people directly, just outside the hall!"

"Announce him in."

Yuan Sheng quickly brought a dusty young man into the hall, and the young man immediately knelt down behind Yang Shuping: "Weichen An Huzi greets Your Majesty!" ”

Lao Zhu Wo didn't look at it in the dragon chair, closed his eyes and said, "Say it, pick what is important." ”

Yang Shuping turned his head and looked at An Huzi and said, "Don't be nervous, tell Your Majesty what you see directly!" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, Weichen found a eunuch in the house of Han Dudu's hometown in Hongxian."

Yuan Sheng's eyes widened when he heard this, and Lao Zhu slowly opened his eyes and sat up straight, and asked expressionlessly, "What did you say you found?" I didn't hear clearly, say it again! ”

An Huzi couldn't help swallowing and spitting, gritted his teeth and replied loudly: "Weichen found a eunuch in the house of Han Dudu's hometown!" ”

Lao Zhu slowly got up and got off the dragon chair and walked to the nearest pillar, took off the sword hanging there, pulled out the scabbard with a bang and threw it on the ground, and the snowy cold light was on An Huzi's shoulder at the same time.

I only heard him say softly: "Raise your head and look at me!" ”

Hearing this, An Huzi slowly raised his head and looked at Lao Zhu's unfazed face, he only felt that his mouth was dry, and his throat kept rolling between his neck.

"So young, what a pity if you die!" Lao Zhu stared at An Huzi's eyes with burning eyes, "Tell me again, what did you see in Han Cheng's hometown." ”

"Weichen saw a eunuch in the mansion of Han Dudu's hometown, it was an eleven-year-old boy named Xiaoguozi. Originally, he went to the Han Mansion to be a small servant, but the housekeeper of the Han Mansion tricked him into getting sick and castrated, Wei Chen wanted to take him to Yingtian and was afraid that the grass and the snake would be destroyed by them, if Wei Chen was not bad, the more than 20 small houses in the mansion were eunuchs, this is a big crime of the nine clans, and Wei Chen did not dare to deceive His Majesty! ”

Lao Zhu continued to ask: "What is he doing with so many eunuchs in his hometown?" Hearing this, he obviously believed An Huzi's words, Lao Zhu is reading countless people, whether An Huzi is lying or not, he can see it just by his eyes, he just doubts in his heart.

"Your Majesty doesn't know that Han Dudu has raised more than a dozen concubines in his hometown, and each concubine has a child......"

Lao Zhu interrupted: "Why do you say it's breeding? ”

"Han Dudu placed those women in his hometown, and he was afraid that their boudoir would be lonely and he would be cuckolded and guarded very strictly, and those women could only stay in the inner house like birds in a cage, so Wei Chen said that they were raised."

"Hehe...... Lao Zhu sneered, "I'm still a person who has read books, and this word is used accurately." ”

Yang Shuping said: "Weichen also knows that Han Dudu has an outer room in Beijing, but he doesn't know that there are so many, presumably those outer rooms will be sent back to Hongxian once they are pregnant." ”

Lao Zhu carried the sword back to the dragon chair, slapped the table and shouted: "Say, tell me everything you see!" ”

At the moment, An Huzi will tell Lao Zhu what he has seen and heard in Hongxian County, and Lao Zhu will write the holy decree while listening to it, and ask Yuansheng to get a talisman for him.

Without waiting for An Huzi to finish speaking, Lao Zhu had already thrown the oracle and the talisman in front of Yang Shuping, "You immediately rushed to Hongxian with your cronies and five thousand cavalry pikemen overnight, demolished Han Cheng's mansion and dug three feet into the ground, not a single brick or tile can be spared, and the soldiers and horses in Zhongdu are also temporarily controlled by you, and there must be his comrades in it to start an inventory immediately!" What are you doing in a daze, you don't even have a cronie, right? ”

"Wechen has it!" Yang Shuping excitedly picked up the holy decree and talisman on the ground, "Wei Chen will do his best to live up to His Majesty's trust." ”

Lao Zhu looked at An Huzi, "What's your name?" It looks familiar. ”

"Back to Your Majesty's Weichen is called An Huzi, who has studied in the Royal Academy, maybe His Majesty happened to see it when he inspected the Academy."

Yang Shuping said: "After An Huzi was a hero, his father An Meng was the chief liaison officer of the Suzhou Inspection School, and was later captured by Zhang Shicheng, and he was tortured and would rather die than give in. ”

"I know that he was my personal soldier, or Pingjiang, whom I personally instructed him to go to, and that his death was due to Xuanzhong's performance to him. This is a good seedling, you should reuse it in the future, go! Lao Zhu waved his hand slightly, and nested in the dragon chair again.

Yang Shuping and An Huzi bowed down and withdrew from the hall, without Lao Zhu's coercion, Yang Shuping's waist immediately stopped straight, and walked between the halls with his head held high, and the cold wind blew his cloak to hunt and hunt very chic.

The two of them left the imperial city, and Yang Shuping suddenly turned around, "An Huzi, you have worked this errand, don't go to Zhongdu with the official, go home and take a good look at your wife and wife, they are very worried about you these days." ”

"Oh, my subordinates are ordered!" An Huzi agreed, as if he had just escaped a bad luck.

The wind blew stronger and stronger, and a little cold fell on Yang Shuping's face, and he saw the goose feathers and heavy snow falling all over the sky on the torches at the head of the imperial city, Yang Shuping reached out and took a piece in his hand, "Good snow!" He grinned with a hideous face.

"It's snowing, it's snowing!" Yuan Sheng closed the door and said to Lao Zhu with a smile: "The coming year must be a good year!" ”

Lao Zhu didn't reply, still nesting in the dragon chair and closing his eyes and saying nothing.

Yuan Sheng said cautiously: "It's cold, Your Majesty should go back to the harem as soon as possible to rest." ”

Lao Zhu opened his eyes and the focus of his gaze did not fall on Yuansheng's body, only heard him say: "I can allow you to be corrupt and bribe-taking, allow you to bend the law for personal gain, and allow you to be arrogant and lascivious, because you are my dog." Since you're not, I'll skin you and see what you are! ”

A cold light flashed in front of Yuan Sheng's eyes, only a muffled sound was heard, and the entire sword body had been split into the dragon case, sawdust flew everywhere, and with a crisp sound, half of the sword body fell to the ground.
