Chapter 552: Two Parts
The moon hung in the air, and the silver light sprinkled the entire city, covering this huge palace with a veil of mystery. The palace maids and eunuchs who had a busy day finally got a rare rest at this time. Everyone was ready to go to sleep, but the eunuchs and palace maids in the warm pavilion were all silent, because the Emperor of the Apocalypse was losing his temper.
The Emperor of the Apocalypse sat behind the dragon bookcase, flipping the folds in his hand by the light, his eyes flashing with a dim light. Although the earthquakes in Yangzhou and Luanzhou were severe, they did not affect the Emperor of the Apocalypse. The imperial court has its own set of procedures for the earthquake disaster, and there are competent officials to preside over it, so there is no major problem, and these Apocalypse Emperors are very relieved. The only difficulty is money and food, the current court is not what it used to be, and the Emperor of the Apocalypse will not lose his temper over this silver.
Seeing that the Emperor of the Apocalypse picked up another book, Wang Chengen hurriedly walked up and said worriedly: "Your Majesty, it's late at night now, and the spring is cold and dewy, so the emperor should rest early!" The emperor's dragon body is important, state affairs can be resolved by the court, and the emperor supports those ministers, and he can't let them not work! ”
Throwing the fold in his hand violently, the Emperor of the Apocalypse scolded loudly: "This is my courtier, who is said to be the Qi family who rules the country and the world, and is full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, as if they are all saints who are not fireworks in the world." For the sake of the Ming Dynasty, it seems that they can dedicate everything, and the loyal can't be loyal, but look at what these people are doing! ”
"Your Majesty, the ministers have everything, and the emperor doesn't have to be hearted about this. Since ancient times, people's hearts are unpredictable, the Ming Dynasty is still a loyal subject, and the emperor does not have to worry about Chinese! Wang Chengen on the side hurriedly persuaded, in his opinion, these ministers are really a little at a loss, and they really need to clean up.
Sighing, the Emperor of the Apocalypse looked at the palace maids and said, "Let these people all go down and rest!" It's so late, don't accompany me here, these ministers don't have anything new, and it's a warning from heaven over and over again, and I'm not kind to the government. I know what I'm doing, and the history will evaluate me, and I'll build an unprecedented Ming Dynasty and an unprecedented powerful empire! ”
Let everyone go out, Wang Chengen picked up the folds thrown away by the Emperor of the Apocalypse one by one, and said with some embarrassment: "Your Majesty, there is a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not!" ”
"Say! Every time I say this, I have to say it, and here it is just you and me, just as small talk! The Emperor of the Apocalypse leaned back on the dragon chair, put his feet on the armrests on the side, and put himself in a comfortable posture, saying.
"Your Majesty, in fact, these people are friends, and the reasons for doing these things are also very understandable, and being an official for thousands of miles is only for money, this sentence feels very reasonable. Children from poor families study in the hope of shining the lintel and changing their poor families, so it is inevitable that they will not be greedy after becoming officials. Those officials who have money in their families, although they are not short of money, always have to protect the interests of their families. In the entire Ming Dynasty, how many people were serious about doing business? These people naturally need to maintain their power, and in addition to the collusion between officials and businessmen, their own officials are of course more reliable. "As the most trusted eunuch of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, Wang Chengen has wisdom far beyond ordinary people, and what he says is often to the essence.
Nodding slowly, the Emperor of the Apocalypse sighed helplessly, the Han nationality has always been an official position, this is not easy to change. After thinking about it, the Emperor of the Apocalypse said in a deep voice: "Is there any news from Nanjing?" I'm afraid that Nanjing is not peaceful now! ”
"Back to the emperor, there is no news in Nanjing, and there is no news in Zhejiang! The emperor still rests first, it's so late, what is there to deal with tomorrow, as for the twists and turns of these people, the emperor still doesn't want to work, except to make the emperor more tired, there is no benefit! "Wang Chengen doesn't want to discuss it with the Emperor of the Apocalypse, it's too late, it's better to take a break.
This time, the Emperor of the Apocalypse did not refute, nodded, and said: "I went to Kunning Palace, I haven't accompanied the Empress well for a long time, these words are too busy." I don't have to go to the morning court tomorrow, I can also have a good rest! ”
"Slave to the emperor to hold the lamp!" Wang Chengen's face suddenly showed a smile, and he beckoned the people outside to take the lantern and shine it on the Emperor of the Apocalypse in front.
When the Emperor of the Apocalypse came to Kunning Palace, Empress Zhang had not slept yet, which surprised the Emperor of the Apocalypse. Seeing that Empress Zhang seemed to be embroidering something, she immediately frowned.
"Your Majesty!" Sensing that someone was standing behind her, Empress Zhang hurriedly turned around and saw the Emperor of the Apocalypse standing behind her, and immediately screamed in surprise. His face suddenly showed joy, put down the things in his hand, and hurriedly stood up.
grabbed Empress Zhang, who was about to salute, and the Emperor of the Apocalypse said with a hint of helplessness on his face: "Baozhu, why are you still embroidering things so late?" What is so important? Take good care of yourself, that's more important than anything else! ”
Listening to the caring words of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, a touch of emotion flashed on Empress Zhang's face, and she said with a smile: "The concubine body knows, and I will try to do it during the day in the future, but the emperor is always entangled with the concubine during the day, and I really can't get out of it." ”
Emperor Apocalypse's gaze fell on what Empress Zhang had just embroidered, and Emperor Apocalypse was stunned, because it was a dragon robe. The pattern on it is very detailed, and it can be seen that it is from a person's hand, and whose hand it is, naturally self-evident. Stretched out his hand and pulled Empress Zhang's hand over, looking at the needle eye on the slender jade hand, the Emperor of the Apocalypse wanted to say something, but he felt as if his mouth was blocked by something, and he couldn't make a sound at all.
"Your Majesty, this is the dragon robe embroidered by the concubine for the emperor, and it was done by the concubine from the beginning of weaving. The lady wants to make clothes for the father-in-law, and the concubine has been married to the emperor for so long, and she has never made clothes for the emperor, which is really worthy of the responsibility of being a wife. This dress has been secretly embroidered by the concubine for a long time, and she wanted to surprise the emperor, but now she will let the emperor see it first. Empress Zhang was naturally able to sense the emotions of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, and smiled and took the half-finished dragon robe on the side to explain to the Emperor of the Apocalypse.
Nodding, the Emperor of the Apocalypse did not continue the topic, and said with a smile: "How is the prince doing?" Is there any misconduct? I've been too busy this time, and I haven't cared about him, is the little guy blaming me? ”
Seeing the Emperor of the Apocalypse talking about his son, Empress Zhang's face suddenly flashed with a strange brilliance, and she said with a smile: "The emperor is very well-behaved and sensible, how can he blame the emperor." But there is one thing about the concubine, the emperor is no longer young, should the emperor find a teacher to give the emperor literacy? ”
The Emperor of the Apocalypse was stunned for a moment, then waved his hand and said with a smile: "Don't laugh at the treasure bead, how old is the emperor?" Read now? Thinking of a small point, the whole thing is that the book bag of the book cloud is dropped, and the Emperor of the Apocalypse has a chilling feeling.
Although Empress Zhang was dissatisfied, she didn't say it, and nodded obediently. In fact, Empress Zhang thought very clearly, the Emperor of the Apocalypse canonized Sun Chengzong as the crown prince and prince, and Sun Chengzong himself was the teacher of the two emperors, if he could make his emperor worship under Sun Chengzong's door, the position of the prince would come!
However, the Emperor of the Apocalypse didn't want to say this, so Empress Zhang naturally wouldn't show any traces, so she changed the topic and said, "Your Majesty, it's not early, the concubines are waiting for the emperor to rest, right?" ”
Nodding slowly, he was indeed tired, and after lying down, the Emperor of the Apocalypse fell asleep. However, the Emperor of the Apocalypse's wish to sleep lazily was not fulfilled, and he was woken up the next morning. It was none other than Luo Sigong, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, who woke up the Emperor of the Apocalypse.
While dressing the Emperor of the Apocalypse, Empress Zhang frowned and complained: "Luo Sigong is quite a sensible person, why is it so annoying this time?" ”
After laughing a few times, the Emperor of the Apocalypse joked: "If Luo Sigong knows that he has offended the empress of the Ming Dynasty, I don't know if he dares to come in the morning!" ”
"Your Majesty, you are making fun of the concubine again!" Empress Zhang gently tapped the shoulder of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, with a little blush on her face, and said coquettishly.
The Emperor of the Apocalypse took Empress Zhang's hand and said in a deep voice: "This time Luo Sigong is so anxious, I'm afraid it's a big deal, I have to go and see it." If the matter is resolved sooner, I will come to Kunning Palace. ”
"The emperor doesn't have to be like this, all state affairs are important, the concubine is not the kind of person who doesn't know the importance, the emperor go quickly!" Feeling the strong love of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, Empress Zhang suddenly felt a lot warmer in her heart, gently tidied up the clothes for the Emperor of the Apocalypse, and said softly.
Nodding, the Emperor of the Apocalypse left Kunning Palace, with a bit of solemnity on his face, there was only one thing that could make Luo Sigong so anxious, and that was Nanjing. It seems that his worries have become a reality in the end, the capital is putting pressure on himself, and Nanjing is not idle!
After a short time, the Emperor of the Apocalypse walked into the Warm Pavilion, looked at Luo Sigong who was about to salute, waved his hand, and said, "Is there news from Nanjing?" And it's certainly not good news! ”
"Your Majesty, the minister has two books here, one of which is the secret fold of Jinyiwei and the knowledge of Dang Han, which is written on the results of the investigation of the Hangzhou mutiny. This excerpt has already been read, and the matter seems to be more serious than imagined. The party knew that he was waiting for news there, and he did not dare to act rashly for a while, so as not to startle the snake! The other piece of music was sent by the non-commissioned officer of the Cabinet of the Cabinet of the Household Department, but it was sent by the accompanying Jinyi Guard, and I don't know what he said"! Luo Sigong handed over the fold in his hand to Wang Chengen and told what he knew.
Nodding, the Emperor of the Apocalypse was very satisfied with Luo Sigong's attitude, I will never let go of what I should be in charge of, and I will never ask what I should not be in charge of. Taking the fold handed over by Wang Chengen, the Emperor of the Apocalypse looked at it slowly, and his face became more and more solemn. (To be continued.) )
