108. Prelude to wind and rain
Zheng Wen just stood silently, looking at this autumn scene, looking at this day.
At this time, Huang An walked behind him lightly, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the time is almost up." ”
"Well, look at the autumn scenery of this imperial garden, this life is also very good, this principle of natural change is to make my heart relaxed!" Zheng Wen said without looking back.
When Huang An heard this, he immediately said, "What the emperor said is true." ”
Zheng Wen turned around and glanced at Huang An, before he said calmly: "The palace is going to be windy tonight, the eldest companion is to pay attention to the cold, I will rest in the imperial study tonight, no one will see me?" ”
Huang An listened to Zheng Wen's words, Huang Anxin was shocked, but his face was still unchanged and said: "No, the old slave knows how to do it, Your Majesty can rest assured." ”
As an old fritter who has been in the palace for most of his life, and a person who has mixed and mixed to a high position, when he thinks of Zheng Yi, the commander of the Jinyi Guard who just went out, of course he understands His Majesty's meaning, tonight's palace is afraid that many people will disappear for no reason, but so what, after serving two emperors in this palace for so many years, he is used to seeing too much life and death, too many joys and sorrows, and his heart has long been as hard as iron.
It's just that the majesty in front of him, his heart is getting harder and harder, when he just ascended the throne, he saw someone being martyred, he couldn't stand it and abolished the funeral, but now in the blink of an eye, he issued an order to clean up the palace, he couldn't see that he had a trace of unbearable, His Majesty's imperial heart is getting deeper and deeper, and he still has to be careful.
Zheng Wen listened, nodded, and then said with a smile on his face: "As for Concubine Ying, you can take her into the palace in three days, and always stay outside the palace, it's not like that." ”
"No, the old slave understands." Huang An listened to Zheng Wen's words and immediately replied.
So Zheng Wen then instructed: "As for my nurse, when you go, bring 100,000 taels of silver, 10,000 acres of land deeds, and a copy of the land deed, and bring them to her, and say that I gave them to her, and you also convey my greetings for me, and say that I have time to see her again." ”
"No!" Huang An replied neatly, it seems that this Wei Xue clan has a high status in His Majesty's heart.
"Well, are there any rumors in the market today?" Zheng Wen asked coldly.
Huang An hesitated for a moment before he said: "Emperor, not for the time being, it's just the old slave's Dongchang, but I feel a little weird, tomorrow's court meeting, but there are a lot of imperial historians who are ready to impeach Concubine Ying, and the new imperial history of the left capital is ready to turn a blind eye, and the imperial students of the Guozijian are preparing to jointly write to Your Majesty, I hope you can take back the holy decree of Li Yin as a young protector, this must be a series of people, but the old slave is not short of who it is?" ”
Zheng Wen listened, but he smiled, and then said with a smile: "It's okay, this imperial history, there are always so many things, hehe, why don't so many corrupt officials and corrupt officials not impeach, I just have such a big fart, I know that the impeachment is in the book, I know that I am staring at me, and I don't do some practical things, it seems that my father is still too good to them for more than ten years!" ”
Huang An listened, but nodded approvingly, and then said: "The emperor is right, the first emperor has reigned for more than ten years, and these imperial histories have been raised, and the old slaves have been impeached many times." ”
Huang An said with some empathy, he has been the chief of the Great Inner for more than ten years, the first eunuch of the Great Qian Dynasty, a high and powerful position, and has been impeached many times by these imperial histories, and he has long been unhappy in his heart, and he will not let go if he has the opportunity to add to them in front of His Majesty, but he can't do it too obviously.
So, Huang An asked again: "Emperor, what should these students do?" Or the old slave will find something to add to them. As he spoke, he gestured with his hand.
Zheng Wen listened, but said with a smile: "It doesn't have to be so, if you are young, you should be a little energetic, newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, let them hit the wall, and see the darkness of this officialdom in advance, so as not to be an official in the future, or ignorant, being sold by others and counting money for others, then it is not so wonderful, they are all my scholars?" ”
Huang An listened, but said with some hesitation: "Your Majesty, is there someone behind this?" ”
"So what? I don't even need to check, I know, it's nothing more than those few people, they still don't give up, they always want to make trouble, they always make something out, this is to remind me not to forget them! ”
"This time, I told them that the one acre and three points of land in Yanjing City are dragons, and you have to lie down on tigers, and I am not a person who will not fight back after being beaten." Zheng Wen said arrogantly.
"Besides, I used Shouxiao to keep them in the capital, and they are afraid that they will react at this time, but so what? Big friend, look at it, Yanjing City will be very lively in the future. Zheng Wen said meaningfully to Huang An.
Huang An listened, he was stunned for a while and couldn't speak, he heard the shocking news from His Majesty's words, that is, His Majesty deliberately left the sons of the first emperor in the capital, and it seemed that he would not let them become vassals for the rest of his life, this is simply a contempt for the clan system of the Great Qian, and he couldn't react for a while.
But Zheng Wen didn't care about him, and only said loudly: "Let's go, it's time for me to deal with political affairs!" After speaking, he raised his feet and left, and the people in the dark walked quickly in front of Zheng Wen, hugged Zheng Wen and left.
Huang An was the only one in the imperial garden, standing so blankly, without saying a word, for a long time, he breathed a long sigh of relief, and then turned to leave.
……
At this time, in the Tongfu Inn, Li Ying'er was dressed in civilian clothes, some old but some clean, which Xue Wei wore when he was young, and when she wore it, she still couldn't hide her demeanor, she was still so beautiful, but she exuded the temperament of a young lady of the Great Qian Dynasty, which made Xue Wei's and Wei Lian'er on the side look in a daze.
Wei Lian'er chirped like a little bird and said: "Sister Ying'er, you are so beautiful, yesterday you wore that, a luxurious dress, I only take it for granted when I saw it, today you wore my mother's old clothes when she was young, and your temperament suddenly came out, you are a proper lady, more noble than the Xue family housewife I have seen!" Wei Lian'er said with a grin.
Xue Weishi listened, but scolded Wei Lian'er lightly: "Xiaolian, how did you speak, how can this Xue family's housewife compare with Ying'er?" ”
When Wei Lian'er heard this, she was immediately aggrieved, and said with red eyes: "Of course I know that it can't be compared, but the most temperamental person I've ever seen is her, and what people say is true." ”
Li Ying'er heard this, and immediately smiled, this Wei Lian'er is innocent, without scheming, she is in her youth, she is still a little girl, she likes it very much when she sees it.
Then he smiled and said: "Auntie, it's okay, it's all a family, Xiaolian'er is innocent, she is still a little girl, don't blame her." ”
After speaking, Li Ying'er said to Wei Lian'er: "Little Lian'er, you are also very beautiful, but you are too young, and in two years, your body will grow up, and you will become as beautiful as your sister." ”
Wei Lian'er listened to Li Ying'er's words, and immediately put her unhappiness behind, so she said to her with a happy face: "Really? Sister Ying'er, don't lie to me, then when will I grow up? ”
After speaking, he prayed to the heavens and said: "Guanyin Bodhisattva, quickly bless Lian'er to grow up, and bless Lian'er to be as beautiful as Sister Ying'er......"
Wei Lian'er said, as if she remembered something again, glanced at Li Ying'er, and said with some distress: "I also bless Lian'er to be as beautiful as Miss Xue!" ”
Li Ying'er listened to it and laughed with a "poof", Wei Lian'er looked like this, like a squirrel that met two pine nuts, hugging this one, hugging that one, and hugging that one, with a reluctant look, which made people laugh, but it was so innocent that she liked it tightly in her heart.
So, she said to Li Ying'er funny: "Little Lian'er, who is Miss Xue?" Is it prettier than me? ”
As soon as Wei Lian'er heard this, she immediately glanced at Li Ying'er, who was smiling, touched her chin and thought about it, and then said with some distress: "Sister Ying'er, what do you make people say, in my heart, of course, you are the most beautiful, but Miss Xue is also very beautiful." ”
"But Sister Ying'er, don't worry, she won't be beautiful soon, I have heard Miss Xue's little maid Yinchai say that their young lady will enter the palace soon, I have heard my mother say that the palace is a place to eat people, she will not be beautiful as soon as she enters the palace, Sister Ying'er, aren't you the most beautiful?" Wei Lian'er said with a confused face.
When Wei Xue on the side heard this, he immediately blushed, and then said justifiably: "Xiao Lian'er, when did my mother say that the palace is a place to eat people?" ”
When Wei Lian'er heard this, she immediately became anxious, and retorted with a red face: "Mother, don't you say yes, the palace has strict rules, everything is done at a glance, there can be no transgression, this kind of place people age quickly, how is this not a place to eat people?" ”
When Wei Xue heard this, he was immediately embarrassed, how could this dead child understand it like this, she did say these words, but she never thought that she would understand her words like this, and she was so embarrassed that she couldn't speak for a while.
When Li Ying'er heard this, she immediately laughed, laughing so much that tears flowed out, and after a long time, she said to Wei Lian'er: "Little Lian'er, you are still young, you don't understand this, what about this palace, it is the richest place in the world, there are the most majestic palace buildings, the most gorgeous clothes, and the best food, it is a beautiful place, I don't know how many people want to go in, but in the same way, it is also a cage, go in, and then think out, it is not so easy, especially a beautiful woman like my sister, once you enter, It's a lifetime! She said with emotion.
Wei Lian'er listened, but she was even more confused, but she couldn't think of what kind of place this was, so she asked stupidly: "Sister Ying'er, what kind of place is this?" ”
When Wei Xue saw it, he said in a stitch: "What are you asking about the children?" You said that this Xue family's eldest lady Xue is going to enter the palace, why haven't I heard of it, how did you know? ”
