Back at the residence in the palace, Hou Jing asked Zhu Yi to summon several of Xiao Yan's concubines to drink and promiscuity together, but he always thought about how to appease the people and solve the matter of Qin Wangjun.

Zhu Yi is worthy of being a foreign affairs eunuch who satisfies Xiao Yandu, he quickly figured out Hou Jing's thoughts, and on this day, while Hou Jing and Xiao Yan's concubine were having lunch, he said: "Xia Guan heard that the Emperor Taishang has a princess of Luyang, and she is regarded as a pearl in her palm, and this princess looks like a celestial immortal. Many princes and grandsons of the big clan wanted to ask for their relatives but didn't promise to go out, if Taifu could marry him, then it would be ......" He didn't say anything later, because Hou Jing could think of it himself.

Hou Jing was very satisfied with Zhu Yi's words, this matter is in line with his own wishes, if he can marry Xiao Yan's daughter, then he is a relative of the emperor, not only is his identity different from the past, but it is not impossible to even ascend to the emperor's throne in the future. But Xiao Yan's concubine on the side was not satisfied when she heard it, this Zhu Yi blatantly wanted to pull her good looks away, how would she mix in the palace in the future? At that moment, he pulled Hou Jing's sleeve and dragged a long voice and cried: "My lord, you like the new and hate the old, where am I not as good as that princess?" Taifu ~~. ”

Hou Jing got up and ignored her, and said to Zhu Yi anxiously: "Where is that princess of Luyang at the moment?" Bring me and meet me! Zhu Yi said a little embarrassed: "Taifu, this princess of Luyang has been pampered since she was a child, and the relationship between the emperor and you is ...... I'm afraid she won't come to meet, why don't you deign to go? Hou Jing was a little annoyed in his heart, even if Xiao Yan didn't look down on himself, could it be that this princess dared to look down on herself? The concubine on the side was still pestering him to make trouble, Hou Jing turned around and pumped his mouth, followed by a crisp sound followed by an exclamation, Hou Jing scolded Xiao Yan's concubine viciously: "You, be honest with me, Lao Tzu is in a bad mood and afraid of killing you with a knife, don't you get out?!" ”

Xiao Yan's concubine got up from the ground and quickly disappeared from Hou Jing without saying a word, she thought about going to take a bath, she had only done that with Hou Jing in the morning, and at the moment there was still his seed in her body, she had to wash her lower body well.

Zhu Yi took Hou Jing to the cold palace in Taicheng, where Xiao Yan and the Queen Mother were imprisoned, Wang Yong had already killed him, and the guards were all his minions, usually she ordered her minions to abuse Xiao Yan viciously, and sometimes she didn't even give the emperor food. Just imagine, a generation of heroes who were once majestic and powerful all over the world, but at this moment, they even have to look at people's faces for food and clothing, and they are simply not as good as a dog.

Now it is also Xiao Yan's own sin, when he was young, he was brave and brave, wise and wise, and able to raise talents to benefit the people, so the strength of Nanliang in the early stage increased greatly and the people were rich, but when he was old, he began to worship Buddhism, but the kind that was extremely obsessed, because Nanliang has always been in a corner of peace and there is no war expenses, so the treasury is full of granaries and full. At this time, Zhu Yi came up with a way, suggesting that everyone take out the silver money and grain from the treasury to donate to the emperor's monastery. This is such an absurd and funny thing, but for such a matter of going to the temple to redeem the emperor, Xiao Yan and Zhu Yi went back and forth three times, and these three times alone spent the savings of the entire empire for decades.

Since then, the monks in Jiangdong have lived a life of spending money, but the people have fallen into a dire situation. The monk lived in a big house, wore golden silk Buddha clothes, ate good wine and food, and even raised servants. The common people had a problem with even three meals a day, and some peasants had to sell their cattle and farm implements once to pay the poll tax and forced labor. These peasants, who had lost their ability to farm, had to move around in order to survive, or became tenants of the wealthy landlords.

Especially in recent years, most of the people are hungry and clothed, selling children and daughters and wives are not uncommon, and the Qinhuai River under Jiankang City is very lively and extraordinary for a while, because most of the well-known green buildings (similar to modern song and dance halls) are gathered here. The people who have no way to escape oppressed by tyranny and profligacy do not seem to see hope, and many people have fallen into the grass, and the southern part of Jiangxi, the northern part of Hunan, and the area around Dongting Lake in Hubei are full of mountain thieves and water thieves, and there is even a secession regime in central Fujian.

Hou Jing's turmoil gave these places a chance to breathe, and the court's attention no longer focused on them, but all went to crusade against Hou Jing. This gives them the opportunity to grow and thrive.

Xiao Yan was lying on the dragon bed at the moment, because he was hungry, he was weak, so he could only lie down and sleep, hoping that this would relieve his hunger. The queen and the princess of Luyang on the side were sorting out some clothes and accessories, planning to let the eunuchs outside the door sell them for some food, they hadn't eaten for a whole day. I think that in the palace at the beginning, Xiao Yan had to eat ninety-nine eighty-one dishes for one meal, and Wang Yong prepared different dishes for three meals, at that time, Wang Yong only took a small bowl and added a piece for Xiao Yan to taste, and some dishes even Xiao Yan didn't even eat and just took them away, the reason was very simple, looking at that dish Xiao Yan had no appetite.

But now it is a bowl of white rice, Xiao Yan also feels that it is very delicious, it would be better if there was a big bowl of portions, he can eat to his heart's content, and he doesn't have to eat two meals again. It's a pity that the reality is that every time the eunuchs send it, the portion is either less than three people to eat, or it is just leftovers, the kind that can't be swallowed at all. An emperor is the end of his life.

At this moment, Hou Jing's sudden intrusion shocked everyone in the cold palace, Princess Luyang hid behind the Queen Mother, Xiao Yan was dizzy with hunger at the moment, and he didn't have the strength to see the person clearly, Zhu Yi stepped forward and wanted to help him up, and whispered in his ear: "Your Majesty, Lord Taifu has come to see you." Xiao Yan asked groggyly, "Who?" Wasn't Taifu already dead? "Doesn't look like you're hungry yet. Zhu Yi said angrily: "Taifu is General Hou!" ”

Hou Jing didn't care, waved his hand and said, "What does it smell like?" Don't you usually clean your majesty's house? How can you live with such a stinky person? Zhu Yi hurriedly got up and patted the horse and said: "Taifu is really kind-hearted, the slave family usually asks those little cubs to pay more attention to take care of the emperor, it is estimated that they are cheating and playing tricks, and the slave family will immediately send someone to take care of it." ”

Hou Jing hummed casually, and finally found Princess Luyang hiding behind, only to see that this beauty was only fourteen or fifteen years old, but she was born with a delicate and lovely appearance, although she looked a little embarrassed at the moment, but she couldn't hide her beauty at all: long black hair, curved eyebrows, towering **** with big buttocks, red phoenix eyes and cherry mouth, ten fingers of Qianqian Saiyu fat, and her feet were full of a hand. Sure enough, Zhu Yi finally did something reliable, Hou Jing was very satisfied with Princess Luyang's appearance, so he deliberately pretended not to know Zhu Yi and asked: "Lord Zhu, how can there be idle people in this emperor's residence?" What makes sense? ”

Zhu Yi was also very cooperative at the moment, his life was full of acting skills, and he hurriedly stepped forward and said to Hou Jing with a smile: "Returning to Lord Taifu, this is none other than Princess Luyang, the beloved daughter of the Emperor Taishang." Hou Jing pretended to be very surprised and said: "Ah, how can such a beauty be put here to suffer, you look at it, you have lost weight." Just take it back to my house, and I'll take care of it myself. "It's like I've known people before, and I'm also conditioning myself, who doesn't know what you'll give to this beautiful princess? Zhu Yi thought to himself in his heart, but said on his lips: "This is very good, the slave family is also worried, after all, this cold palace is not as good as the outside, I am afraid that I will not be able to take care of Princess Luyang, but I will be complained by the Emperor Taishang......"

"Enough, shut up! You two don't act. Who knew that before Zhu Yi finished speaking, Princess Luyang stood up and loudly demolished him. Hou Jing is more interested in this little girl who is not afraid of herself at all, she is a little more pretty and domineering than those young women in the palace, she is worthy of being Xiao Yan's daughter, Hou Jing is nearly fifty years old at this time, this little girl is only fourteen or fifteen, the two of them are exaggerated in age and can be grandchildren, at least they are also father and daughter, but Hou Jing likes her inexplicably when he sees this princess of Luyang.

Zhu Yi was choked by her in front of Hou Jing, and his face was a little unbearable, but seeing that Hou Jing's meaning was not angry but liked it very much, he immediately changed his face to Princess Luyang and greeted him with a smile, and patted the horse and said: "The princess is really witty, haha." This embarrassment and bitterness Zhu Yi can only be pressed in her heart, who makes her possible to become her future heroine? And this one is very likely.

Hou Jing said with a smile: "Xiaguan has never seen such a beautiful princess, and she is very smart, Xiaguan Hou Jing pays homage to the princess." The lower official asked the princess to move to the Palace of Heart Cultivation to live. This is a subordinate official's self-proclaim, he really regards Princess Luyang as a queen. Princess Luyang made a sentence to see Hou Jing's ill-intentioned schemes, and secretly complained in her heart, and now her father and the emperor are locked up in the cold palace and are guilty. I can't help them at all, and I drag them down, if Hou Jing really wants to get close to him, why not take the opportunity to let him release his father and queen mother, so that everyone will not be punished, at most he will suffer a little.

To say that this princess of Luyang is still too young, how could she play the scheming Hou Jing? Besides, what kind of character Xiao Yan is, how could Hou Jing release him? It's nice to be able to give a full meal. Princess Luyang said to Hou Jingzhengse: "You just called yourself a lower official, which shows that you still respect the king and love the people, but now my father and your emperor are still here, and three meals a day cannot be guaranteed, how can you ask me to be my daughter to live in the Yangxin Palace with peace of mind?" “

Hearing this, Hou Jing turned around and asked angrily, "Don't you all arrange food for the Emperor?" At first, Zhu Yi thought that Hou Jing was still playing a double reed to show the princess, but he found that Hou Jing was really a little angry and was not acting, so he was shocked and hurriedly defended: "Returning to the Taifu, this is a big rebellion, and the slave family doesn't dare to be so bold." It must be those little eunuchs who guard the door who deceived and deceived the subordinates and did mischief, and the slave family took care of a few of them. ”

Hou Jing stared at him silently, so Zhu Yi quickly turned around and went out and said to the consul and eunuch at the door: "Who are the people who are serving the Emperor Taishang these days, and they have all been passed to me, and I will interrogate them personally!" The consular eunuch probably also heard Hou Jing's question, and he was so frightened that he trotted out to find someone. Hou Jing took the princess's hand and said to her very seriously: "I really don't know about this, I can't even provide food and clothing for three meals a day, it's my fault Hou Jing, I will definitely find out about this matter and give you justice." ”

So he asked people to bring the bed and put it in front of the palace door, and let Zhu Yi get food and drink, while Hou Jing himself sat on the side, and after a while, a few little eunuchs walked into the courtyard quickly under the leadership of the consul eunuch. , These people didn't react when they saw the princess and queen mother, but when they saw Hou Jing, they quickly knelt down with a thud, and shouted in their mouths: "Meet Lord Taifu." Hou Jing snorted coldly and turned his head to look at Zhu Yi. Zhu Yi had no choice but to step forward and say, "Is it that you little cubs usually serve the emperor?" ”

Several little eunuchs knelt on the ground and didn't dare to raise their heads, so they said at that time: "It is the little ones who serve the emperor." Zhu Yi suddenly screamed boldly! The Queen Mother and the princess were startled, the Queen Mother almost choked to death by the pie in her mouth, Princess Luyang hurriedly found tea, and beat her back and patted her chest, Hou Jing was closing her eyes and recuperating, and was startled by his voice, and stood up and scolded angrily: "You are crying and scaring Lao Tzu." I still wanted to be angry, but Zhu Yi was already kneeling at his feet, Hou Jing couldn't help but give him face, and then said: "Get up and speak!" (To be continued.) )
