On the way out of the palace, Qian Jin has been pondering the words of the Empress Dowager Zheng.

Empress Dowager Zheng could neither praise nor admonish him. These high-ranking people take playing with their minds as a daily routine, and they always leave half of their speech to let you guess for yourself. It is precisely because of this that it is even more unpredictable.

In the final analysis, his own strength is too weak. Maybe people just treat you as a grasshopper on the side of the road, and being able to look at you is already a blessing accumulated by your ancestors for eighteen generations of burning incense. Fortunately, the emperor seemed to be relatively easy to speak.

When he was about to leave Chengtianmen, Qian Jin checked the pastry box in his hand, and couldn't help scolding in his heart: "It's really stingy, I bought a box of pastries for more than two hundred taels of silver." ”

At this moment, a call was heard in the distance behind him. Qian Jin looked back, and it turned out that Gonggong Cai was trotting all the way out, so he stopped and waited.

When he ran to him, Qian Jin asked, "Gonggong Cai, but there is still a will in the palace?" ”

Gonggong Cai took a breath before saying, "Qian Shi said...... Your Majesty has told you that you will come to the court tomorrow. ”

When Qian Jin heard this, he couldn't help but lament that the good days were over, but his mouth responded: "It's time to drive Gonggong Cai, find a time to invite you to drink." ”

"It's a long time coming, and in the future, the miscellaneous family will have to ask the money waiter to take care of it."

"Each other, each other."

Both of them will always accompany the emperor in the future. It is said that a companion is like a tiger, and he may one day pick up the tiger's whiskers and provoke the emperor. If someone helps you say a few words at a critical time, you may be able to save the day.

Don't say anything else, and go back to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival with your family.

After Qian Jin left, the old eunuch of Renshou Palace glanced at several palace maids, so they all quietly withdrew. The eunuch watched the palace maids close the door, then took a feather fan and walked to the queen mother and shook it gently.

After touching the tea, the old eunuch estimated that the queen mother wanted to hear what he said, so he said: "Queen mother, the slave feels that this money is a little interesting." ”

At this moment, the Empress Dowager Zheng was lying on the couch with one hand on her cheeks and closed her eyes to recuperate.

Seeing that she is only in her thirties, her delicate body is wrapped in a crimson robe embroidered with colorful phoenixes, her white melon seed face is painted with a faint smoke, two finely drawn willow eyebrows point to the hairline, a high cloud bun is combed on the top of her head, and a peony made of gold and a golden butterfly are inserted on both sides.

Hearing the old eunuch's evaluation, Empress Dowager Zheng's phoenix eyes widened slightly, and the whole person exuded a momentum of not being angry and arrogant. She sat up from the couch with the hand handed over by the old eunuch, and said lightly: "Grandpa Hong, how do you say this?" ”

The eunuch named Gonggong Hong arched his hand and said: "I think his knowledge and martial arts are still acceptable, and his meditation and martial arts are also okay, the most important thing is ...... Your Majesty likes it. ”

After hearing this, Empress Dowager Zheng smiled and said: "You old fox is very active, and the emperor's careful thinking can't escape your eyes." ”

"Queen Mother Shengming."

"How can a mother not understand what her son thinks. Usually I blame him a lot, but when did I not get his will in the end? He doesn't have to let the money go into me to make a show. ”

"This is called knowing the mother Mo Ruozi. I remember that when Your Majesty was twelve years old, you broke a jade pendant given to you by the first emperor, and that time you punished Your Majesty not lightly, but Your Majesty just didn't admit it, and afterwards you praised Your Majesty. Today, the money in and out of the Yongguan is also flatly denied, and the slave thinks that most of it has been instructed by His Majesty. ”

Empress Dowager Zheng nodded when she heard this, and said: "At that time, the mourning family wanted him to understand a truth, this emperor is easy to admit his mistakes, even if he is wrong, it is because the minister's assistance is not effective, otherwise how will he govern the world in the future?" ”

Gonggong Hong handed over a bowl of warm tea in a bowl covered with blue and white porcelain. Empress Dowager Zheng took a sip carefully and asked, "Has this Qian Jin's birthday been figured out?" ”

"Back to the Queen Mother, it has been found out that this Qian Jin was born on the winter solstice in the twelfth year of Hongzhi, and it is not much different from the time when the meteorite shower came." Gonggong Hong replied in a low voice.

"Most of the meteorite showers are coming to the world because of the calamity, but I don't know if this money is a calamity or a person who should be robbed." Mrs. Zheng had a melancholy behind her.

"The Queen Mother doesn't need to worry too much, it has been nearly seventeen years since the meteorite shower came. Although there have been some minor disasters and disasters in my Chen country over the years, it is generally quite stable, and it is unknown whether there are disasters or not. Besides, the minions have also checked, and there are more than 2,000 people born on the winter solstice in the twelfth year of my Chen Guohongzhi, so it should not happen that this money should be on me. ”

Empress Dowager Zheng turned around and said angrily: "A terminally ill person can still stumble for a while, how can this catastrophe not be more than ten years later?" ”

Seeing that the Queen Mother was angry, Gonggong Hong hurriedly stopped talking. At this time, there was no wind in the house, and Empress Dowager Zheng felt that the inner room was a little stuffy, so she wanted to ventilate outside. Father-in-law Hong hurriedly lifted the bead curtain.

The Queen Mother saw that a pot of fire roses on the coffee table was blooming brightly, so she approached with some joy, and her white and slender little hands gently stroked the petals. Looking at the pot of roses, her mood calmed down a little.

Living in this deep palace, no matter how cheerful a person is, grass will grow in his heart after a long time. Therefore, she likes to wear bright red robes and loves bright red flowers. It seemed that through the bright color, her heart also brightened.

Seeing that Gonggong Hong didn't dare to speak, Empress Dowager Zheng couldn't help laughing: "You are also an old man in the palace, and you must know the temper of the mourning family very well, so you don't need to be so frightened." ”

Gonggong Hong smiled: "The Queen Mother taught you a lesson. ”

"Chen Guo's family background can no longer withstand the toss. The mourning family would rather believe in this catastrophe than want Chen Guo's country to be lost at all. If it weren't for the fear of attracting a popular uprising, the mourning family would have killed more than 2,000 people a long time ago. ”

When Gonggong Hong heard this, he couldn't help but feel a chill behind him.

This east factory is now in his hands. Although he usually did a lot of murder, he lost more than 2,000 lives at once, even he would be jealous. After all, Liu Xuan's fate was there.

He estimated whether the Queen Mother had murderous intentions towards Qian Jin, so he asked tentatively: "If you kill this Qian Jin, I am afraid that Tianzheng Gong will ......."

"How did the mourning family say that they would kill him?" Empress Dowager Zheng said with a look of disdain: "Back then, the first emperor favored Liu Xuan, and he wanted to take the opportunity of the first emperor to go to Mount Tai to worship the sky to commit rebellion. Fortunately, His Majesty changed his mind and changed the place of worship to the Temple of Heaven. Speaking of which, Tianzheng Gong saved His Majesty's life, and I won't move his blood and bones. ”

Grandpa Hong was relieved when he heard this. He is not a soft-hearted person, but when he thinks of the Eighteen Bachelors case and the people who died when Liu Xuan fell, he can't help but feel a chill down his spine.

At this time, the Queen Mother continued: "After the Falling Star Shower came, Tang Xianchen, the Qintian Prison Supervisor, died a strange death. Jinyi Wei Qianhu Gao Yuan was ordered to investigate, but he never came back to restore his life, which made this matter even more strange. If you want to figure out what happened back then, you have to fall on this lofty head. ”

"The minions have also been searching in many ways over the years, but this Gao Yuan is proficient in the art of disguise, and he knows the roads of Jinyiwei and Dongchang well, so he has not made any contributions."

Empress Dowager Zheng said with a displeased face: "That's it." Gao Yuan will continue to look for me, and this money will be kept an eye on by the mourning family. If he has any bad intentions, kill him. With that, she gently picked up a rose, but accidentally pricked her finger with a flower thorn.

Gonggong Hong hurriedly took a handkerchief to bandage it, but muttered in his heart whether the Queen Mother's attitude towards this Qian Jin was to kill or not. The wound was not deep, and the thorn fell off with a light brush, but Gonggong Hong understood that the thorn in the queen mother's heart would be difficult to remove for a while.

He asked tentatively: "Queen Mother, now the officials of this Qin Tianjian can only do some sycophancy. According to the slaves, do you want to ask a monk from a foreign country to practice divination? ”

"You mean missionaries?"

"Exactly."

"Now that the sea ban is imposed, you should find one for the mourning family?"

“……”

………………

After Qian returned to the courtyard, it was almost noon. At this time, Qian Jin didn't know that in the queen mother's thoughts, his life had experienced twists and turns.

After handing over the food box to Li Liang, he went straight into the hall. The food and wine were ready, and he could wait for him to return and start the feast.

Qian Jin poured a glass of wine and drank it himself.

Seeing that his son's expression was wrong, Lao Qian couldn't help but ask with concern: "Jin'er, is it smooth to enter the palace?" ”

Qian Jin smiled: "It's okay. The Queen Mother also rewarded pastries. Thinking of the pastry, Qian Jin's face changed greatly, he hurried to the yard to snatch the food box back from Li Liang's hand, and knocked off the osmanthus cake in his hand, and scolded in his mouth: "Can you eat anything outside, what if you eat a dead person?" ”

Li Liang stood there with a look of grievance. Qian Jin couldn't bear it in his heart, so he comforted him softly: "What little plums want to eat in the future, let's just buy it ourselves." Brother ...... now. There is silver. ”

Xiao Lizi couldn't help but burst into tears when he heard this. was so much money in, and everyone became more and more confused.

Qian Jin instructed Ding Wei again: "Shopkeeper Ding, the existing workshop is enough, if the new branch is opened, the population in the courtyard can no longer be used to go to the county government for the record." You can give some money on the road and pull any beggar. ”

Ding Wei was puzzled, but still nodded in agreement.

"The alcohol in the winery, except for Yuquanfang and Liu Lang winery, can be sold, and you can ignore other merchants if they want to buy it. Hoard hard for me until it's cold. Qian Jin continued.

Jin Taiming knew that Qian Jin was not in a good mood at this time, so he asked, "Has my brother been wronged in the palace?" ”

Qian Jin smiled: "It's okay, drink." With that, he took his glass and drank it all.

On the way back, he figured out the Queen Mother's attitude towards him, that is, "contempt".
