Chapter 54: The Emperor's Edict (2)

The emperor turned around, flashed a graceful look, and replied casually: "When I was in the East Palace, although Lai Xing'er had some involvement with the Zhang family, but before the night of Shangyuan, he invited Mr. Liu from Shangzhong Nanshan, so that I was finally able to leave Beijing and go to Tongzhou to avoid trouble, and my loyalty to me should be unquestionable." Moreover, if it weren't for him and Lin Shu to adapt to the situation and act at the opportunity, Chide Zanpu might not have agreed to marry this dynasty on the spot. ”

"As a eunuch in the palace, he made friends with important ministers in the court without permission, and ran out of the palace for no reason, I don't know where to go, can the emperor really tolerate such a person?" Wanrong listened to the emperor's many words to protect Xing'er, and lowered her face and muttered.

"Privately befriending important ministers? Which important minister in the court does Concubine Ai refer to? The emperor's eyes flashed and he asked.

"Jin Guogong, Zhongshu Ling Li Jinzhong. The concubines heard that they had seen Lai Xing'er enter and leave the Jin State Mansion more than once. ”

"Oh, it must be a misunderstanding of Concubine Ai, most likely because I ordered Lai Xing'er to go to the Jin State Mansion to convey her will, and was mistaken for Lai Xing'er's intention to cling to the ministers. He is a little eunuch, so the concubine doesn't have to care about him so much. Whether to use or waste Laixing'er, it's all in my thoughts, how much movement can he toss? The emperor coldly put down these words, and without even looking back, he went out of the palace.

Nannei is located in the Chunming Gate in the southeast of Chang'an City. This was originally the emperor's grandfather's residence before he ascended the throne, although the scale is far less than the Daming Palace in the east and the Taiji Palace in the west, but it is also built very beautifully and chic. Here close to Chang'an East City, closer to the people of the market, the emperor's grandfather had lived here with the Yang concubine for a long time during the reign, built two high-rise buildings in the southwest of the palace, a diligent government building, a calyx Xianghui building. In contrast, there are two main halls in the south, one in the south and one in the north: the South Xun Hall and the Xingqing Hall are not so eye-catching.

In accordance with the emperor's will, those who came to Nannei today to participate in the 100-day ceremony of the former emperor are not only the princes and princes in Beijing, civil and military officials, but also a large number of internal and external women. Therefore, as soon as the emperor and Jing Xuan and the two Jieyu entered the south through the Xingqing Gate, they parted ways, and the emperor's law drove straight to the Xingqing Hall in the north, while Jing Xuan's half-deputy Luan drove in front, and the soft chariots of Ashina and Zheng Jieyu followed, and the three concubines followed each other towards the Nanxun Hall where the women gathered.

Jing Xuan rode the chariot past the Agarwood Pavilion not far from the Calyx Xianghui Building, and suddenly felt that the chariot stopped suddenly. After a while, Zhu Shuang's slightly panicked voice came from the curtain of the car: "Niangniang, someone is blocking in front of Luan, claiming to be the palace person who served the first emperor and his son, asking to see Niangniang, and is willing to be martyred for the first emperor." ”

When Jing Xuan heard this, although he was taken aback in his heart, he remained silent on the surface, and ordered Jinping who was accompanying him: "You go down to see what kind of person she is, and bring her to Nanxun Hall to see me." ”

Jinping lifted the curtain and got out of the car, and after a while, he lifted the curtain and returned to the car, attached to Jing Xuan's ear and whispered: "Niangniang, this person reported that it was the palace people who served the first emperor personally, and there was a very important matter to report to Niangniang before he died. ”

"Oh?" Jing Xuan was not sure whether he should get out of the car for a while to meet the bold palace man who claimed to be a little ink, and asked Jinping with his eyes, and saw that she had no objection, so he shouted at Zhu Shuang outside the car and ordered, "Please go to the Nanxun Hall for a while, and bring the people who block the palace to the Agarwood Pavilion, and wait for the palace to interrogate in person." ”

Jing Xuan got off the chariot accompanied by Jinping, a breeze blew in front of him, and he suddenly felt the fragrance of the nose, and when he looked up, he saw that the lotus flowers in the pond were actually blooming, which was a pastoral beauty. At this time, she naturally had no intention of appreciating the lotus scenery, and followed the long water pavilion to the agarwood pavilion. The palace man in the pavilion with his back to her turned his head when he heard the sound of footsteps, like a pale and delicate face, and his tense lips inadvertently revealed his inner determination.

"Your name is Dianmo? is willing to be buried for the emperor, what is the purpose of asking to see the palace? Jing Xuan sat down on the railing and asked in a gentle tone.

"The maidservant has long admired the loyalty of the Jing family, and the concubine Niangniang is even more anxious for justice and righteousness, and dares to take responsibility, so she did not hesitate to risk death to stop Luan Jia and complain from the bottom of her heart." Dianmo slowly knelt down in front of Jing Xuan, and replied in an extraordinarily calm manner, "The giant thieves in the DPRK and China have abused their power, causing a river of blood to flow in the forbidden garden. Even if the ink was under the Yellow Spring, he had no shame to see the first emperor and the first queen. Niangniang is now at the head of the harem, and the maid is daring to beg Niangniang to tell the secret of the maid today, and to fight the power of thunder and thunder to sweep away the traitors as soon as possible, so as to comfort the spirit of the emperor in the sky. ”

Jing Xuan heard her call the Zhang family the first queen, and couldn't help but have a frosty face, and asked coldly: "Your tone is not small." I don't know where you were when the first emperor was alive? Who is it now? ”

Dianmo raised his head and replied with tears in his eyes: "The identity of the servant girl is really insignificant. It's just that for most of the half a year before the first emperor drove the guest, he had always been a servant girl by his side, and he never left half a step. ”

Jing Xuan was secretly taken aback, listening to the meaning of her words just now, it was clear that the spearhead was directed at Li Jinzhong, could it be that someone was behind what she did today? Thinking of this, Jing Xuan deliberately softened his tone and muttered: "It turned out that it was the person who served in front of the first emperor, it is difficult for you to be so loyal and willing to follow the first emperor." Stay for a while, this palace will definitely play to the emperor truthfully and praise you. As for the rest...... But I wonder if you are acting out of personal vendettas, or are you instructed by others? ”

Dianmo replied without hesitation: "Don't dare to deceive the mother, what the maid did today was sent by the first emperor......"

"Bold." Jing Xuan interrupted her sharply, "This palace remembers that you once served the decoction in front of the first emperor, and intends to fulfill you. Hugh has to talk nonsense again, and stand aside. ”

"Mother." Dianmo stood up, rushed to the side of the Agarwood Pavilion in three or two steps, and jumped onto the railing, "Since you don't want to listen to Dianmo say it, just bring Dianmo to the front of today's Banzai, and let Dianmo go directly to the emperor." Otherwise, Dianmo would jump from here now. ”

Jing Xuan saw that she was resolute, and she was by no means bluffing, and she believed her words a little in her heart. She sat still, beckoned to Dianmo, and said lightly: "What do you want to say, Bengong listens." Come down and talk well, if you want to do this again, there are still big things to do in this palace, so I won't accompany you. ”

"Okay, please ask Niang Niang to play back today, and treat Li Jinzhong for the crime of great rebellion." He stood up with ink on the railing, reached out and took out a bright yellow silk sac from his arms, held it high in his hand, and said loudly.

"What's in your hand?" Jing Xuan was not surprised, and still asked quietly.

"The first emperor personally wrote, the holy decree of pardoning Empress Zhang's capital crimes." Dianmo replied with his head held high.

"The remnants of the Zhang family in the Daming Palace were swept away by the Duke of Jin, and now Nannei has openly jumped out again! This palace wants to take a look, you, a weak little woman, see the emperor, do you dare to be so untrustworthy? ”

Before the words fell, Jing Xuan had already stepped forward, lightly Shu Yu's arm, pulled Dianmo Shengsheng off the railing, threw him to the ground, and commanded Jinping on the side: "Tie it up, and go with me to Xingqing Hall to meet the emperor." (To be continued.) )
