- The moonlight of early winter, sprinkled on the high walls and green tiles, reveals endless coldness.

Zhao Zhen and Hu Yandui climbed the palace wall outside the Funing Palace, and saw that the lanterns were as bright as day, with three steps and one post, five steps and one sentry, and they were really heavily guarded.

Immediately, a large internal guard came over to inquire, and saw that it was Chief Hu who personally held the lamp and led a man who couldn't see his face clearly.

can make Hu Yandu so respectful, there is only one person in the entire palace.

The guards didn't dare to ask more, so they hurriedly saluted.

"We're going to walk around here," Hu Yandu nodded, "you guys should look elsewhere!"

"Whoa." The guard answered, and turned to give the order. After a while, a long section of the palace wall was vacated for the two of them to stroll.

Zhao Zhen stood still, holding on to the cold green bricks, and looked at the brightly lit city in the distance, and could distinguish the towering Pan Building, Rendian, and Yipin Building. The night breeze seemed to send the sound of the citizens singing and composing, making the officials feel lonely.

His gaze seemed so helpless in the night, and he patted the stone bricks, and whispered:

"Go up to the west building alone without a word, and the moon is like a hook.

Lonely Wutong deep courtyard lock Qingqiu.

Cut constantly, the reason is still messy, it is sorrowful,

Don't be a general taste in your heart......"

Hu Yandui listened to it on the side, and the boss didn't taste it: "Official, you are a Ming Jun, you shouldn't sing this kind of sound of the country." ”

"Hehe......" Zhao Zhen smiled self-deprecatingly: "Old Hu, what kind of Mingjun am I?" ”

"If the big officials don't count." Hu Yan replied: "The old slave really doesn't know which emperor can count." ”

"You've only read a few books and dare to speak in that tone." Zhao Zhen laughed and said gloomily: "The widow is just a middle-aged person, and he has mediocre courage, and the only thing that can be praised is that he has the name of self-knowledge and no indulgence." However, the Great Song Dynasty passed to the third generation, and it was difficult both internally and externally. What is needed is a talented and bold hero! ”

"The widow has neither the talent of Taizu, Taizong, and the first emperor, nor even the courage of my mother to swallow the sky and spit out the sun, so he can only blindly hold on to the defects, and he also says in the name of doing nothing...... "Zhao Zhen sighed and said: "If Taizu Taizong and even the first emperor are in power, they will inevitably make a drastic spread, and give me a new atmosphere of the Great Song Dynasty, but the widow can only maintain one day at a time." Seeing that the Great Song Dynasty is difficult to return......"

Hu Yandui couldn't understand why the official family suddenly said these words. But soon, Zhao Zhen solved his mystery.

"But the widow has been the emperor for decades, and he is in power for his own time. The understanding of the Great Song Dynasty is not comparable to ordinary people. Zhao Zhen said slowly: "So the widow has an idea, ready to choose a good emperor for the Great Song Dynasty, and then cultivate it carefully." to compensate me for all these years of corpse vegetarian meals......"

"The big official ......" Hu Yandui said in disbelief: "Are you just like this?" "Lao Hu is a good-tempered person, but those who set up a situation to persecute the emperor today. It's so hateful! But looking at the official family like this, it seems that he is ready to accept it...... Of course, he knew that when his words reached Zhao Zongshi's ears, he would not have good fruits to eat in the second half of his life, but his senior official was Zhao Zhen. And no one else!

"The widow wants the people to have a master, as long as the surname is Zhao......" Zhao Zhen said lightly. It seems that he really resigned himself to his fate.

"Zhou Guiren is about to give birth, why can't the big official wait." Hu Yan persuaded bitterly.

"If an angel has a child, then King Yu will not die." Zhao Zhen sighed in a dumb voice: "This is the destiny of heaven." ”

"......" nonsense muttered: "No matter what, the old slave feels that they are not doing this properly." Is this to be filial to the official family? I think it's almost the same as forcing the palace. ”

"Presumptuous!" Zhao Zhendeng's face changed and he shouted, "Are you going to do politics?" ”

Hu Yandui was terrified. Quickly kneel on the ground and kowtow.

"Alas. Hurry up, it's the widow who treats kindness as a donkey's liver and lungs. Zhao Zhen held Hu Yandui's arm, only to see that Lao Hu was already in tears, and sighed: "I apologize to you, it's done." ”

"No, the old slave doesn't dare to ......" Hu Yandui cried even more, and said with a handful of snot and tears: "The old slave is angry for the official family, they shouldn't treat you like this." ”

"Who made me an old man?" Zhao Zhen let go of his hand and glanced at the cold moon in the sky and said: "People have the two banners of ancestral etiquette and flesh and blood affection, and the widow has to accept his fate." ”

"The old slave felt that the big official was so irresponsible." With a loyal heart, Hu Yandui said without taboo: "Since you said that you want to choose a good emperor for the Great Song Dynasty, but in this way, is there still room for choice?" ”

"......" Hearing this, Zhao Zhen was speechless. Half a day Fang said: "It is precisely for this reason that the widow can't sleep at night." ”

"There's still time." Hu Yandui said boldly: "The old slave thinks that even if he wants to select people from the clan, he can't be in such a hurry, and it is only right to pick slowly and shop around......

"Old Hu." Obedient and listening, Zhao Zhen frowned and said, "You seem to have a very prejudiced opinion of Zongshi......"

"Old slave," Hu Yandu's face changed, and he muttered, "The old slave doesn't dare." ”

"Whose thief ship did you get on?" Zhao Zhen said lightly.

"The old slave didn't dare to ......" Looking at the suspicious expression of the official, Hu Yandui's face turned even whiter.

"Lao Hu, the widow beats the little emperor and takes the imperial concubine to control Bintian, and there are no brothers, no caring people. If you want to say that there is, you are the only one, why do you follow them and coax me together? Zhao Zhen said sadly.

Hu Yandui's heart was sour, and when he turned around, he actually cried with a whimper.

"Are you afraid that others won't hear you?" Zhao Zhen scolded in a low voice.

Hu Yandui slowly retracted his voice, choked up and replied: "The old slave has something to hide from the big official, and today the big official is to kill the old slave, and the old slave has to say it." ”

"I know you're in trouble." Zhao Zhen scolded with a smile: "What's the matter? Speak and you will be forgiven of your innocence. ”

"Half a year ago, the Ten Pavilion was filthy and chaotic in the palace, and the old slave said that he didn't know in advance, but he actually lied," said what he had hidden for a long time, and Hu Yandui said relaxedly: "Actually, I just didn't know it at first, but they often walk by the river, how can they not get their shoes wet?" As the days went by, the old slave also heard some rumors. ”

"Why didn't you report it?" Zhao Zhen frowned.

"The old slave has no evidence, how dare he chase the wind and catch the shadows? If it is nothing, won't it ruin the reputation of the girls? even harmed the future prince. Hu Yandui said calmly: "So the old slave didn't dare to report it immediately, but sent someone to investigate secretly." ”

"I didn't see you find anything." Zhao Zhen said.

"There is a way to 'catch adultery and see two', but at that time, several of them were already pregnant, so naturally they would not die and steal again. So the old slave can't catch the current. Hu Yandui sighed: "Their slaves and maids also know that if this matter is leaked, everyone will have to die, and the old slaves don't have Li Jihe's ability, and they can't pry their mouths open." ”

"What a fool." Zhao Zhen scolded.

"But the old slave didn't get nothing...... "Hu Yandui gasped.

"Why?"

"The old slave is too stupid, he can only use a stupid method to pick a little bit, and the old slave asks people to follow Liu Hua all day long, wanting to see if he will show any clues." Hu Yandui lowered his voice and said: "It turned out that he had a close relationship with some troublemakers. ”

"Later, the old slave caught a few of his fox friends and dog friends, that kind of person is the most boneless, under Miki, he said everything." Hu Yandui continued: "They said that Liu Hua was originally from Sanssouci Cave, and he was ...... Zhao Zongchu's subordinates. ”

"Zhao Zongchu......" Zhao Zhen frowned, and the clouds were thick.

"They also said that it was because Zhao Zongchu recommended it to the prince of Runan, who was in charge of the draft, that Liu Meiren could be selected into the palace," Hu Yandui said completely: "And most of the maids and women who entered the palace with Liu Meiren were also sent to him by Zhao Zongchu." ”

"Why didn't you say it then?!" Zhao Zhen said angrily.

"The old slave is stupid," Hu Yandui said with shame on his face: "At that time, I thought, the Runan Royal Mansion wished that the big officials could not give birth to a prince, so how could they risk a big relationship to let Liu Meiren have a body?" So at first, the old slave only thought that Liu Meiren was the foreshadowing they laid for someone to speak in the palace in the future, and he didn't think about it deeply. ”

"And what do you think at this point?"

"The old slave reacted slowly, and pondered repeatedly afterwards, feeling that this matter was not so simple," Hu Yan said: "No matter how lax this palace is, it is also the most heavily guarded place in the world." Without the protection of the people around him, and without the cooperation of the palace ban, it is impossible to hide from the Liu brothers and sisters alone. After a pause, Manager Hu concluded: "So, the old slave feels that even if Zhao Zongchu is not doing ghosts behind his back, he must be in the know." ”

"It's not that simple." Zhao Zhen shook his head and said, "I'm afraid that Zhao Zongchu will also be tricked." ”

"What do you mean by the big official, there is still a force making trouble?" Hu Yandu suddenly said: "Yes, this can make sense!" ”

"In any case, Liu Hua has already caught it." Zhao Zhen didn't want to continue the topic and said: "Pry open his mouth, and it will naturally come out." ”

"Yes." Hu Yandui nodded, looked at Zhao Zhen and said, "The old slave is finished, please punish the big official." ”

"No punishment, the widow has a word first, and if you say it, you will be forgiven." Zhao Zhen smiled faintly and said: "What's more, you are the only one around the widow, and I am not used to changing others." Saying that, he kicked him and said, "Okay, don't worry about it, the widow has to go back to sleep." ”

"Whoa." Hu Yan replied, hurriedly lit the lantern, and guided the official family down the palace wall and returned to the Funing Palace.

The eunuch hurriedly moved the warm cage, and Zhao Zhen sat on the side, warm and ready to go to bed.

At this time, I suddenly heard the sound of hurried footsteps outside, and at this time, both inside and outside, it must be no good thing. Zhao Zhen suddenly became sleepy: "What person?" ”

Hu Yandui hurriedly went out to see, and immediately turned back and said, "It's Li Jihe." ”

"Let him in." Zhao Zhen nodded and said, his actual head of the inner house, would never come to disturb for no reason.

The first sentence Li Jihe said when he came in shocked Zhao Zhen: "Your Majesty, that Liu Hua is dead!" ”――
