Chapter 68

"Who's coming........." Xuanzong got up from the bed and shouted loudly with his hands on the edge of the bed, Jin Ying, who was outside, heard the shouts of the room and hurriedly pushed the door in, and eagerly came to Xuanzong and said, "Your Majesty, you are awake." Xuanzong looked at the sky outside the window and asked, "Jin Ying, what time is it?" Jin Ying said: "The 'Leaky Room' just came to report that it is a quarter of noon. Jin Ying brought the warm tea to Xuanzong, who was sitting on the bed, and Xuanzong took the tea and took a sip and said, "Prepare clothes for me, I have to get up." "Hand the tea back to Kim Young.

Jin Ying took the tea and asked with concern, "Your Majesty, where are you going?" It's rare that you sleep soundly, and you don't sleep longer. Xuanzong said, "I am going to the queen mother's place, and I haven't been to her old man's house for a few days. ”

"The emperor will go to the queen mother, and the slave will go to fetch water." Jin Ying shouted outside the door: "The emperor is changing." "Outside the house, there was a lot of people, very busy.

Xuanzong sat on the "dragon chair" in yellow obscene clothes, and Jin Ying came to Xuanzong and took a futon to cushion on the ground, and he was half-kneeling. Jin Ying said: "Your Majesty, the slave maid pinched your feet. Jin Ying lifted one of Xuanzong's feet into his arms and gently pinched the soles of Xuanzong's feet with both hands.

Jin Ying's kneading was just right, and Xuanzong enjoyed it with his eyes closed. Jin Ying asked softly: "Your Majesty, the slave maid recently heard about an incident in the palace and I don't know if it is true. Xuanzong said softly: "If it's not true, don't talk nonsense, you know that spreading rumors in the palace is to cut off your tongue." ”

Jin Ying said: "The slave knows that spreading rumors in the palace is to cut off the tongue, but this is related to the life of many slaves in the three palaces, six courts, twelve prisons, four divisions, and eight bureaus. The slave and maid, as the stewards of these minions, should be verified. Xuanzong smiled and said, "You are quite good at thinking about them, in that case, why don't you go and ask for verification?" Jin Ying said: "The slave maid is going to seek verification, but it is like the emperor seeking verification." ”

Xuanzong said unexpectedly and suspiciously: "Ask me for verification? Jin Ying gently put Xuanzong's feet on the futon, put on his shoes, and then knelt on the floor and said: "Forgive the slave and maid to be brave, I heard that the older eunuchs and palace maids from all over the palace will be driven to the 'Anle Hall' and the 'Huanyi Bureau', and the emperor has agreed." "You get up and speak first, and don't kneel down between our masters and servants to make people feel unfamiliar." As Xuanzong spoke, Kim Young got up and stood aside.

Xuanzong said: "Soon after I ascended the throne, I spent a lot of money everywhere, the south and Jiaozhi used troops constantly, and the north of Wara was eyeing each other, and the tax of the Ming Dynasty had been received from Xuande for three years. Now I can't ask for it to reduce the expenses in the palace, but I haven't made up my mind yet to make up my mind after serving the palace for decades, and I'm still thinking about it. ”

Jin Ying stood aside and patted his ass and said: "The emperor is diligent and loves the people, and he is sympathetic to the slaves and maids, and he will never let it go." Xuanzong was speechless for a while when he heard Jin Ying's words, and the room suddenly fell silent, and at this moment, the sound of breaking things sounded outside the house, and Jin Ying hurriedly said, "Slave go out and have a look." ”

When I came to the door, I saw the same eunuch hurriedly packing up the things on the ground, and the water was spilled all over the ground, and the copper basin was rolled out far away. Jin Ying asked angrily: "What's going on, I'm worried that you will all have to fall to the ground." A little eunuch got up and stood beside Jin Ying and said, "'Lord Chief' Lao Gu accidentally fell on his hand just now when he brought water to the emperor, and you can see that there is a lot of blood on his arm. Jin Ying glanced at the eunuch who was kneeling on the ground to clean up, Lao Gu entered the palace at the age of fifteen, and now he is forty-five years old, and he has been there for thirty years, and now he is a little unable to do anything in his twilight years.

Jin Ying was angry and said, "Hurry up and pack up and go get a basin of water." ”

"Your Majesty, it was an old eunuch who accidentally knocked over the copper basin, and the slave maid had already asked them to fetch water again." Jin Ying said on the side.

Xuanzong frowned when he heard this, and after a while, he sighed and said, "Let Wang Zhen handle the affairs of the old eunuch and palace maid in the palace, you don't care." ”

Jin Ying listened to this and said, "Your Majesty, can you think about it again." Xuanzong said angrily: "Why are these slaves and maids so slow, and they have been basind water for me for half an hour, Jin Ying, you go and pour the hot water on the copper furnace for me, and I won't wait for the water of those slaves." "Hey, slave maid is going now." Now he can only resign himself to fate, Jin Ying bowed his waist and went out to pour water for Xuanzong to wipe his face.

"The emperor is in charge of Qingning Palace." Jin Ying shouted, and the eunuchs carried the "dragon chariot" towards Qingning Palace.

"Fall ......," Jin Ying shouted, "you don't need to tell me to go in by myself. Xuanzong said to Jin Ying.

"Huichen see the emperor." Imperial Physician Wang came out of Cigong and happened to meet Xuanzong, "Aiqing, please get up, hey, why did you come to Qingning Palace, could it be that the Queen Mother is in poor health?" Xuanzong asked eagerly, "Emperor Qiqi, the Queen Mother is just tight-chested and angry, and it is much better for Weichen to have a needle for the Queen Mother just now." Imperial Physician Wang said truthfully to Xuanzong.

"Jin Ying, go in with me." Xuanzong said.

"Mother, mother." Xuanzong called to Empress Dowager Zhang at the gate of the palace, "The concubine asks the emperor for peace." Empress Hu heard Xuanzong's shouts and stood up to greet Xuanzong, "Well, get up." Xuanzong glanced at Empress Hu and went straight to Empress Dowager Zhang.

"Queen Mother, I met the Imperial Doctor at the door and said that your chest is tight." Xuanzong's face was anxious, Empress Dowager Zhang leaned on the soft couch and said lazily: "The mourning family is not anxious for a grandson, the emperor, you deal with political affairs all day long, and the mourning family is not easy to say, but you also have to give some thought to come out and leave a successor for the ancestral foundation. Empress Dowager Zhang saw Xuanzong and said all the dissatisfaction in her heart, Xuanzong said: "The queen mother is not the emperor's heart, but the court has a lot of things, the emperor has no skills, there is Jiaozhi in the south, there is Wara in the north, there are officials in the redundancy, and the financial resources are not supported, all of which must be solved by the emperor." ”

Empress Dowager Zhang listened to it and said in a slightly angry tone: "You are here to see the mourning family today, but you are not here to listen to you talk about political affairs, and the mourning family is not interested in your political affairs." Xuanzong said: "The emperor doesn't mention it." ”

Empress Dowager Zhang straightened up and said to Xuanzong in a serious voice: "Emperor, it's not the queen mother who blames you. You must know that the Ming Dynasty is indispensable, and you have to be responsible for the Zhu family. Xuanzong said: "The emperor remembers the teachings of the queen mother. ”

"Emperor, you are very dissatisfied with the mourning family of Sun Guifei, if she can give birth to a son and a half daughter, the mourning family will also admit it, but now her stomach is still empty." Empress Hu, who had been silent when Empress Dowager Zhang said this, turned pale, but she disappeared in an instant and casually restored her previous calm.
