Chapter 190: Hot Spring Palace
The hot spring palace is the Huaqing Palace in the Tang Dynasty, named after the Huaqing Village at the foot of Lishan Mountain, the Wuzhou Dynasty built a large-scale palace group here, which is an excellent place to avoid the cold office in winter, and the Daning Dynasty also inherited this palace, and repaired and expanded, and finally formed the winter palace of the Daning Dynasty, that is, the Hot Spring Palace.
At this time, Emperor Xuande, Emperor of Daning, was soaking naked in a bubbling white spring, the water body was yellow and hot, and there was a strong smell of sulfur.
This is the best place for the imperial physician to find a recuperation from the seventy-two springs, and the imperial doctor's advice is that if you soak here for two hours every day for half a year, his legs will have a little sensation, and at the same time, his male surname ability will gradually recover, which is what Huangfu Xuande dreamed of.
At this time, he squinted, comfortably enjoying the softness brought by the boiling water, and beside him, two young and beautiful palace maids were also naked in the water, gently massaging every muscle in his legs.
At this time, Ma Yuanzhen hurriedly walked into the room and bowed down to report, "Your Majesty, good news!" ”
Huangfu perked up and immediately sat up, "How is Concubine Shu?" ”
Concubine Shu is also Shen Ruyi, she used a lock of hair to pull Huangfu Xuande back to her side, and was favored again, although Huangfu Xuande could not be as many times a night as before, but he still ignored the warning of the imperial doctor, and was entangled with Shen Ruyi every night, these two days, Shen Ruyi was a little sick, which really made Huangfu Xuande worry about her.
As soon as the words fell, Shen Ruyu, who was dressed in a white veil, walked in, her body was as soft as a snake, her eyes were full of wildness and enthusiasm like a female leopard, staring at Huangfu Xuande tightly, no one dared to look at Huangfu Xuande like this, only Shen Ruyi dared, she didn't regard Huangfu Xuande as an emperor at all, but regarded him as a wild man, so that after thirty years on the throne, Huangfu Xuande, who had long been tired of obeying women, was intoxicated with her.
The two palace maids were obviously afraid of her, and hurriedly crawled out of the spring, put on the veil and retreated to the side, Huangfu Xuande's eyes also lit up, staring greedily at her snake-like soft waist, Shen Ruyu gently took off the white veil, and there was no more wisps on her body, she walked into the spring, and immediately like a water snake, her soft arms, waist and ** tightly wrapped Huangfu Xuande, lying on his body, with an electric charm in his eyes, exhaling in his ear, "My wild man, do you miss me?" ”
This voice was so beveling that it seemed to drain all the bones of people, and even the face of the old eunuch Ma Yuanzhen turned a little red, and he whispered: "The information from Chuzhou has arrived, and the old slave will report to Your Majesty!" ”
"Say it! I listened. ”
Huangfu Xuande squinted his eyes and sucked Shen Ruyi's immortal peach-like [***], a little absent-minded.
"Your Majesty, the intelligence says that Huangfu Wujin has led a naval army to the sea for a drill, taking away 1,500 large ships and tens of thousands of naval troops."
At this time, Shen Ruyi had been sucked by Huangfu Xuande and moaned lowly, regardless of the presence of Ma Yuanzhen next to him, this feeling made Huangfu Xuande excited.
"And.... This? Huangfu Xuande was also a little slurred.
"There is that Huangfu Wujin established a commercial bank, called Jin Fuji, and used the official bank to do military grain business and make huge profits, just like the Baifu Commercial Bank back then."
"Then there is the express news from Jiang Ge Lao, he temporarily stayed in Chuzhou to monitor Huangfu Wujin, and he also went with the ship to participate in the drill."
"Then there is the large purchase of refined iron in Chuzhou, which may be related to Huangfu Wujin."
"And ......"
"Okay, I know everything, you go down!"
Huangfu Xuande interrupted him a little unhappily, he was already having sex with Shen Ruyi, and it would be a bit disappointing to hear this kind of thing again.
"Your Majesty, there is one last thing, there are a few twists and turns that are urgent."
"You'll approve it on my behalf, get out of here!"
"Yes! The old slave stepped back. ”
Ma Yuanzhen closed the curtain and slowly retreated.
Retreating outside, a cold gust blew, he suddenly shivered, and quickly wiped the sweat on his forehead, it was too hot inside, too cold outside, such a big temperature difference, he really couldn't stand it.
He felt something, and when he turned around, he saw a guard secretly approaching him, and he couldn't help frowning: "Little monkey, what are you going to do?" ”
"Ling Gong, the crown prince has arrived, just wait outside for summons!"
Ma Yuanzhen also has many titles, some people call him Ge Lao, and some people call him father-in-law, but he likes others to call him Ling Gong the most, he is the inner servant.
"I see, I'll go see the prince."
He said to dozens of guards: "The emperor is recuperating from his illness, no one is allowed to disturb him, and whoever dares to disturb will die, understand?" ”
All the guards knew in their hearts, and hurriedly agreed, Ma Yuanzhen asked a few more words, and went outside the palace, he knew the law of Huangfu Xuande very well, after lingering with the concubine, he would generally close his eyes and rest for half an hour, and no one could disturb him at this time, including him Ma Yuanzhen.
During this time, the prince came to him quite frequently, which made the prince obviously feel uneasy.
At this time, the crown prince Fu Heng is in the outer palace Rende Palace, in fact, the prince also has his own area in the huge group of buildings in the hot spring palace, called the hot spring east palace, but only the prince is allowed to live here before becoming the prince, once he becomes the prince, he must live in the main palace, and the officials and ministers are together, all the governance of the country, the prince's task is to learn, and the prince's task is to assist the emperor in handling government affairs.
However, this rule has never been properly enforced, as the emperor, he always does not want the prince to be too close to the center of power, thus threatening his position, so the prince is only like ordinary ministers, has the power to participate in politics and parliament, but has no decision-making power.
Just as Ma Yuanzhen felt, Huang Fu Heng was quite uneasy during this time, at first it was a kind of annoyance, because the fiasco of Baifu Commercial Bank in Chuzhou directly threatened his vital interests, Huang Fu Yibiao talked to him, hoping to suspend his aid to him for a year this year, but Huang Fu Heng immediately refused, there is no Nanshan faction funds, what does he take to raise the army, and finally the two sides bargained, temporarily cut 500,000 yuan, down to 1.5 million taels of silver, that's it, Huang Fu Heng is still very annoyed, and Qi Ruifu and Huang Fu Wujin are annoyed, It's just that he has a request for the emperor's fu, so he temporarily endured this breath.
But in the past few days, his mood has changed from annoyance to fear, he feels that his father may have discovered the secret of his private army, and he feels that the emperor will not promote the people of the Nanshan faction for no reason and give them real power, and when his father summoned him, he actually asked him some information about the Baifu firm, which obviously knew that he had something to do with the Baifu firm.
This made Huang Fuheng's heart frightened, he knew better than anyone that once the evidence of his private army was caught by his father, he would definitely depose his crown prince, and he also met the conditions for abolishing the prince, immorality, and the private army itself was one of the eight immoral situations set by the ancestors.
Huangfu Heng paced back and forth in the side hall with his hands behind his back, he was weak and anxious, and wanted to communicate more with his father to relieve his father's possible anger, but his father refused to see him, making him feel like he was hanging in the air.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, how did you think of coming to the Hot Spring Palace today?"
Ma Yuanzhen appeared at the gate of the palace with a smile, now Ma Yuanzhen is the prince's lifesaver, he hurriedly stepped forward to salute, "Old Linggong, you must help me, my father may abolish me!" ”
Ma Yuanzhen's eyes narrowed, "Who did Your Highness say this, I have never heard that the emperor said anything like abolishing the crown prince, Your Highness has too much heart!" ”
"Nope! No! I don't care much at all, my father has been dissatisfied with me recently, and he often gets angry for no reason, and the notes I wrote have also been refuted, which were not available before, and Han Zhong, the left general of the Yulin Army, was dismissed, he has only been in office for two months, and he was dismissed for no reason, Ling Gong, I don't feel good! ”
Ma Yuanzhen sighed, "Did Your Highness have any tricks caught by the emperor?" ”
"This ....."
Huang Fuheng was a little embarrassed to speak, and only said after a while: "Now there are rumors that I have a private army, and I am afraid that my father will believe these rumors, you know, Uncle Shen Guo wants to get rid of me for not a day or two." ”
"Your Royal Highness, since it is a rumor, Your Highness should take the initiative to make it clear to the emperor, don't let him misunderstand, the emperor is actually a reasonable person, but recently he is not in good health, and he has a problem with his legs, so he has become a little irritable and irritable, in fact, not only His Royal Highness is depressed and worried, Uncle Shen is the same, two days ago, Emperor Fu Renjie of Zongzheng Temple proposed that the king of Chu could go to Chuzhou to take office, but he was called by the emperor to scold, saying that he wanted to split the dynasty, these months, the emperor obviously did not mention the king of Chu, last time the king of Chu came to ask for peace, He didn't see him, Your Highness, King Chu and Uncle Shen are also so worried and afraid, don't worry about yourself. ”
Although Ma Yuanzhen said a little reasonable, but his father's dismissal of Han Zhong, the general of Yulin, really made him feel afraid, Han Zhong is the only military general in the capital who is loyal to him, Han Zhong is deposed is typically to get rid of his wings, not only Han Zhong, I heard that the Ministry of Officials has been secretly investigating the imperial history, that is also his henchmen, eradicate all his henchmen, and then abolish his crown prince.
"Old Linggong, I want to go and see my father, is it okay?"
Ma Yuanzhen sighed softly, "Your Highness, I advise you to go back to the capital, now the emperor's focus is on the Liang Wang family, it is the Emperor Fu Wujin, he can't take care of you for the time being, at least until the Emperor Fu Wujin attacks the Phoenix Society, you are safe, and the emperor will only consider the matter of His Royal Highness after dealing with the Liang King Department." ”
"How is my father's health?" Huangfu asked in a low voice again.
Ma Yuanzhen looked left and right to see that there was no one, and said in a low voice: "The emperor has begun to favor Concubine Shen Shu again, how good do you say it can be?" ”
As soon as he finished speaking, a little eunuch came to report: "Old Linggong, Arudo is here to offer medicine." ”
