In July, the day of the fire, even if the temperature at night is surprisingly high, and then it is not raining for more than a month, this day is even more annoying, and it is only slightly cooler before sunrise in the early morning, once the sun rises, the heat is immediately surprisingly high, even if it is lying still, you can sweat profusely, if the action is slightly larger, yes, the sweat can not be contained. For the miserable people, in the face of such a scorching heat, they can only endure it, what should they do, why should they go, they have to live, don't they? As for the rich and noble, there is an ice basin to use, and this day can still go on, but the ice basin is good but can not be carried around, and the ice gold in the midsummer is very expensive, and it is easy to waste, therefore, unless it is a last resort, the magnates never want to go out to suffer, even if they really have something to go out, it is generally after dark, and there are very few powerful people who really go to the street during the day, which can be seen from the quality of the carriages on the streets of Chang'an- The streets come and go are all single or double horse carriages, not to mention, there are few long entourage, servants and the like are accompanied by left and right clusters, of course, it is not without accidents, this is not, a four-horse carriage turned out of the mouth of Rouge Alley is majestic, not to mention that the guard's family will be long with more than 100 people, the luxury of the carriage itself alone is already rare in Beijing, the car dealership, the vehicles and pedestrians on the street have retreated, without him, just because the origin of this carriage is too big, This is a carriage from the eldest grandson's family, no matter whether there is anyone in the carriage or not, it is not something that the people of Shengdou can look at.

Generally fat people are afraid of heat, unfortunately, the eldest grandson Wuji is a fat man, although the carriage is wide enough, five feet square, and there is an ice basin inside, but the eldest grandson Wuji is still so hot that he sweats like a pulp, and it doesn't take long to go out, the court clothes on his body have already been soaked out of the sweat of the east and west, and the white silk used to wipe the sweat has long been changed for a long time, and a fat face full of sweat beads is flushed, which is simply comparable to the monkey**, and then with puffy eye bags and slightly darkened eye circles, It's really embarrassing as much as you want, but compared to the sin suffered on the **, the inner torment is even more uncomfortable - just as far as the victory outside the Saiwai itself is concerned, it is a good thing for Sheji, in addition to raising the prestige of the country, but also expanding the land for thousands of miles, it is definitely a rare victory since Zhenguan, but the trouble is that this battle was fought by Li Zhen, the king of Yue, which is definitely not good news for the court, for the East Palace, especially for the Changsun family. The eldest grandson Wuji can be said to be very troubled, since last night, he has not closed his eyes, his mind is full of numbness, by this time he is physically and mentally exhausted, and tomorrow is the morning dynasty, if he does not come up with a quasi-idea, he is afraid that there will be a big mess, and he has no choice but to go to the East Palace to discuss matters.

"Lord Situ, you are early, the slave and maid are late to greet you, please forgive me." The eldest grandson Wuji had just gotten off the carriage at the gate of the East Palace, and Guan Dasong, the eunuch in charge of the East Palace who had already heard the news, hurriedly stepped forward and greeted the eldest grandson Wuji with a smile on his face.

"Well, it's hard to manage my father-in-law." The eldest grandson Wuji was upset, but on the surface, he still looked like a minister, said hello with a smile, gave Guan Dasong a door bag, and raised his feet to go to the East Palace.

Guan Dasong pinched the still thick door bag, and suddenly felt happy in his heart, seeing that the eldest grandson Wuji was about to enter the palace, he hurriedly ran up, and whispered: "Lord Situ, Xiao Zhongshu is also there." ”

"Huh?" The eldest grandson Wuji was stunned for a moment, and a trace of hesitation quickly flashed across his face, but he still didn't stop, just nodded lightly, and still strode into the East Palace, which made the eunuch wonder for a while - the eldest grandson Wuji and Zhongshu Ling Xiao Yu have always been at odds, although both of them were appointed to assist the prince Li Zhi, but because of different political views, there were many disputes in the court, and Xiao Yu was self-assured and noble, and he always looked down on the eldest grandson Wuji, and he often sneered at the eldest grandson Wuji in words on weekdays, And the eldest grandson Wuji is tolerant, on the surface, he doesn't care much about Xiao Yu, but in his heart he is really tired of Xiao Yu, on the occasion of Xiao Yu's presence, if it is possible, the eldest grandson Wuji will never go to join in the excitement, therefore, if Xiao Yu arrives in the East Palace, the eldest grandson Wuji often does not go to the East Palace, this has long been an open secret, now he knows that Xiao Yu is in the palace, but he still wants to go in, it is really rare, no wonder the eunuch is very suspicious.

Xiao Yu is capable, noble and noble, has never been in his eyes, there are few people in the Manchu Dynasty who can enter his eyes, especially the eldest grandson Wuji who is on top of it is the most jealous, never pretending, at this time I saw the eldest grandson Wuji sweating profusely and walked into the hall, his mouth immediately itched again, he glanced at the eldest grandson Wuji, and gloated: "Auxiliary, it's okay to be so fat, look, tired yourself, isn't it?" ”

Rao is eldest grandson Wuji has always been calm, and he was almost annoyed by Xiao Yu's words, but he didn't want to have an argument with Xiao Yu in public, so he could only roll his eyes, pretending not to hear Xiao Yu's words, his fat face shook, squeezed out a very cold smile, nodded at Xiao Yu, said hello, turned around, looked at the director who was following behind him, and asked without words: "Where is Your Highness?" ”

Guan Dasong, who was snickering, immediately couldn't laugh when he heard the eldest grandson Wuji ask about Li Zhi - today is the day when the prince enters the East Palace, and Li Zhi returned to the East Palace from the Chengde Palace last night, however, this guy is so messy, last night's drunken disorder, this is almost the end of the day, and he hasn't gotten up yet, and no one dares to urge - the eunuch is responsible for the position of the waiter in the East Palace, and in the past, there were many people who ate and hung up because of urging the prince to get up, and he was already reprimanded and afraid, how could he dare to disturb Li Zhi's good dreams, and he was asked by the eldest grandson Wuji at this time, But he didn't dare to tell the truth, so he could only reply embarrassedly: "Lord Situ, please wait, the slave will go and have a look." ”

The eldest grandson Wuji knew that Li Zhi was not a wise master at all, it was just a piece of waste, and he had already heard of Li Zhi's laziness, and at this time, seeing that the eunuch's face was wrong, he immediately guessed a rough idea, but he had no choice but to nod his head, signaling the eunuch to be busy, but he found a position away from Xiao Yu and sat down, closed his eyes, and pretended to be recuperating. As soon as Xiao Yu saw the appearance of the eldest grandson Wuji, his heart suddenly became angry, but he had nowhere to vent, he snorted coldly, turned his face away, stared at the green trees outside the window, and remembered his thoughts with anger on his face, and a strange aura immediately surged in the spacious hall......

The main bedroom of the Xiande Hall is luxurious and spacious, the furnishings are all fine to the extreme, whether it is the several palace lamps on the top of the high hall or the dressing table and bonsai placed in the corner of the wall, all of them are carved and gilded things, beautiful and beautiful, a wide carved dragon and phoenix wooden couch is placed in the center of the bedroom, two huge ice basins are placed on the side of the couch one after the other, a light yarn hangs down from the ceiling, the wooden couch is gently covered in it, giving people a feeling like a dream, the whole dormitory is quiet, There is no eunuch, the existence of the palace maid, only a pair of young men and women hugging each other and lying on the couch, needless to say, that man is the current owner of this East Palace Li Zhi, as for the woman with a peach blossom face next to him is Li Zhixinna's Liangdi Xiao Ling, the origin of this woman is not simple, it is the niece and granddaughter of Xiao Yu in the Chinese book, not to mention, the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are all fine, but a famous talented woman in Beijing, since Zhenguan married Li Zhi in early April of the seventeenth year, won Li Zhi's favor, for her, Li Zhi didn't even bother to see the crown princess Wang, and drank excessively every night, no, I knew that today would be the day of big discussions, but Li Zhi was still very heroic last night as a "Shijiro", I really don't know where Li Zhi's weak body and bones came from so much physical strength, this time it's good, it's already time, this little couple is still confused.

"Your Highness, Your Highness." The eunuch didn't dare to let Xiao and the eldest grandson wait too long, if these two bigwigs were really angry, as soon as they were investigated, it must be that he, the head of the internal bureau, was unlucky, and in desperation, he went around outside the dormitory for a long time, but he still tiptoed in, came to the edge of the wooden couch, and summoned a few lowly.

"Hmm." Li Zhi, who was sleeping in a daze, answered without opening his eyes, but Xiao Liangdi woke up first, opened her peach blossom eyes, and said coquettishly with a hint of laziness: "Retreat." ”

Xiao Liangdi is Li Zhi's favorite concubine, her words are as effective as a holy decree for the people of the East Palace, how dare the eunuch not listen, however, he didn't complete the task of awakening Li Zhi, he didn't dare to retreat like this, and hurriedly and cautiously responded, "Yes." He took a few steps back, and then said softly: "Your Highness, Niangniang, Xiao Zhongshu, and the eldest grandson Situ have all arrived, waiting to see Your Highness." ”

The eldest grandson Wuji Xiao Liangdi didn't take it very seriously, but for his uncle Xiao Yu, who has always been strict, Xiao Liangdi was afraid of it since she was a child, and when she heard that Xiao Yu was also waiting outside, she was immediately taken aback, and didn't dare to delay it any longer, so she hurriedly responded: "I know, retreat." Seeing Xiao Liangdi say this, even if he gave the eunuch a few more dares, he didn't dare to stay anymore, so he could only withdraw from the dormitory with a bitter face.

"Lang Jun, it's time to get up." After the eunuch retreated, Xiao Liangdi stretched out a white and tender Rouyi and gently pushed Li Zhi's shoulder, leaned into his ear, and whispered delicately.

Li Zhi was obviously having a good dream, the corners of his mouth were saliva, let Xiao Liangdi push for a while, and didn't see him wake up, but Xiao Liangdi was angry, pouted, and was very unhappy to beat Li Zhi's chest with a small powder fist, the movement was a little bigger, this can be regarded as waking Li Zhi from his sleep, opened his eyes in a daze, and when he saw Xiao Liangdi's cherry mouth that was so warped that he could hang a small oil bottle, he immediately became interested, and he leaned over regardless of it, trying to incense it.

"Don't be, Lang Jun, Xiao Zhongshu is waiting outside early in the morning, you better get up." Although Xiao Liangdi has the heart of Chenghuan, she is worried about her uncle's angry temperament at every turn, how dare she linger with Li Zhi, and hurriedly stretched out a Rouyi to push away Li Zhi's mouth.

"Ah, it's broken." When Li Zhi arrived here, he remembered that today was the time to deal with government affairs, and he hurriedly shouted, turned over, and shouted: "Come on, change clothes for the palace." ”

Xiao Liangdi saw that Li Zhi was so flustered, she felt funny in her heart, she couldn't help but cover her mouth lightly, and laughed eatingly, this smile was not tight, and the thin towel covered by her body slipped to the side, revealing a high/straight and snow-white peak, and she was still shaking with laughter. ”

Li Zhi is a greedy master, don't look at the withered ground on weekdays, very cowardly, but he is a bold master to do such a "**" thing, and the interest is up at this time, not to mention that Xiao Yu is waiting, even if the sky falls, he can't take care of it, he suddenly jumps in, pounces down, so, Jiao/panting again, the spring drama is staged again, and the eunuchs and palace maids who rushed into the room to change clothes for Li Zhi are all busy withdrawing......

"The old minister Xiao Yu (eldest grandson Wuji) knocked to see His Highness." Xiao and the eldest grandson, who were waiting impatiently in the hall, saw the crown prince Li Zhi walking in with vain steps, and each got up and saluted.

Li Zhi had patronized the "work" before, he didn't ask for details, after finishing the work, he was afraid that Xiao Yu would be in a hurry, but he trotted all the way into the hall, and then saw that the eldest grandson Wuji was also there, and he was immediately stunned, until the two bigwigs knelt on the ground, then they woke up, and hurriedly raised their hands and said: "Two of you, please get up, this palace is a step late, don't blame, don't blame." ”

The eldest grandson Wuji had long known that Li Zhi's virtue was really bad, that is, he regarded him as a dou, and he didn't say anything, he got up and stood aside, but Xiao Yu's performance was different from that of the eldest grandson Wuji - first, Xiao Yu really wanted to assist Li Zhi, and hoped that Li Zhi could become a wise saint. At this time, seeing Li Zhi's disheveled clothes and pale face, he knew that this guy must have been messing around again last night, how could he still see it, his face immediately turned up, and he said unceremoniously: "Your Highness, as a prince, should have the heart to govern the country, how can you be a plaything and lose your mind, if you are not excited, what is Nai Sheji?" ”

Li Zhi is a cowardly lord first, and secondly, he also knows that he is wrong, how dare he speak out, so he can only bow his head and admit his mistake: "What Xiao Zhongshu said is very true, and this palace knows it." ”

Seeing that Li Zhi admitted his mistake, Xiao Yu's face was slightly better, but he couldn't stop and said: "It's easy to know but difficult to do, perseverance comes first, Your Highness can't forget it." ”

Li Zhi was taught a lesson, and he really couldn't get off the stage, but he didn't dare to speak against Xiao Yu, so he could only keep his head down, and his face was full of discomfort.

"Your Highness, have you read yesterday's battle report?" The eldest grandson Wuji saw that Li Zhi was uncomfortable being trained, and he secretly laughed in his heart, but some people couldn't see Xiao Yu's attitude, so he diverted the topic.

"Ah, look, the starling is wise and martial, and he is really a minister of the country, this palace saw this good news, although he didn't come in person, he also felt that his blood was boiling, and he couldn't go to it in person......" Seeing that the eldest grandson Wuji diverted the topic, Li Zhi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then remembered the excitement of the battle outside the Saiwai, and couldn't help but raise his voice and talk endlessly.

Although Xiao Yu is the crown prince and the most honorable person in the East Palace, he has a deep impression of Li Zhen, a brave prince, at this time, he was quite relieved to see Li Zhi praise Li Zhen so much, and he stroked the long beard on his chest, and said with a smile: "What His Royal Highness said is very true, I can get such talents as His Royal Highness King Yue, I have no worries about the Tang Dynasty, and what is even more rare is that His Royal Highness King Yue has always been friendly with His Royal Highness, and can be assisted by His Royal Highness King Yue, His Royal Highness will be the king of the Holy Ming in the future. If His Royal Highness can take the lead in this for His Royal Highness the King of Yue, one can comfort the hearts of the front-line soldiers, and the second can also make a good alliance with His Royal Highness the King of Yue, and the third can show His Royal Highness's love and brotherhood, which can be said to be more than one stone. ”

Li Zhi praised Li Zhen's merits in his mouth, but in fact, he was faintly jealous in his heart, and there was a lot of vigilance, so it was okay for him to casually say a few words for Li Zhen, but if he really asked him to ask for credit for Li Zhen, he would not be happy, but he didn't dare to say a word "no" in front of Xiao Yu, and his face changed wonderfully for a while, but he never spoke.

In the eyes of people who don't know the details, Li Zhen and Li Zhi, the two brothers, have always had a good relationship, and they are brothers in the same school, and they have been quite close in the past, but the people who are qualified to participate in the game of winning the heir are very clear: these two brothers are not a group at all, and only papaya heads like Xiao Yu will come up with the bad idea of letting Li Zhi win over Li Zhen, but well, this is not surprising, Xiao Yu is a high-ranking official in the court, but in fact, he is an empty official, and he does not really care about the affairs of the court, plus he has always been arrogant. Among the courtiers, popularity is very problematic, no one will take the initiative to get close to him, obviously, it is inevitable that he is not well-informed, but the eldest grandson Wuji is different, not to mention that he has always been kind to people, and has a good relationship with the courtiers, and his protégés and former officials are all over the court, so it is said that the dark forces under his command are not worse than Wu and Wei, and few of the dynamics between the government and the opposition can hide from him. But his heart suddenly moved, his eyes lit up, and he said with a smile: "Okay, Xiao Zhongshu's idea is good, and the old minister also thinks it is feasible." ”

Hearing the eldest grandson Wuji's applause, Li Zhi was immediately a little dumbfounded, looked at Xiao Yu with a puzzled face, and then looked at the eldest grandson Wuji, stunned to understand what was going on, without him, don't look at Xiao Yu and the eldest grandson Wuji are both high-ranking officials who assist the prince, however, these two people are completely different from each other in terms of governing the world or the way of weft industry.

"This, this ......" Li Zhi was full of people who didn't want to admit it, but he didn't have the courage to explain it to the two bigwigs, and after a long groan, he still couldn't say a word, and he suddenly saw that the eldest grandson Wuji was looking at himself, and immediately nodded knowingly and said: "Okay, since the two adults said so, this chapter will be decided by the palace, but the palace is afraid that it will not be written well, and there is Lao Xiaozhongshu ghostwriter?" ”

Xiao Yu has always been conceited and literary, and when he heard Li Zhi say this, he didn't object, he stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Okay, then the old minister will go back to the house to prepare this chapter, and I will send it to His Royal Highness later, and the old minister will retire." ”

Li Zhi knew that the eldest grandson Wuji must have something to say to him in private, so he would not say anything to keep Xiao Yu, and sent Xiao Yu out of the palace very respectfully, so he turned back, looked at the eldest grandson Wuji who seemed to be smiling, and said in a complaining tone: "Uncle, how can you ......, alas, isn't this a mistake in the palace?" ”

The eldest grandson Wuji smiled indifferently and said, "Your Highness, if you don't go to this chapter, will others not either?" Instead of handing over this flower offering to others, if His Royal Highness does it himself, what is the difficulty? ”

Li Zhen's great contribution this time is indelible, this cannot be erased no matter what, Li Zhi understands this truth, but he is still very unhappy in his heart, pouted and said: "What my uncle said, this palace knows it, but it is just ......, alas, what should I do if this tail is not falling?" ”

"Hahaha......" Seeing Li Zhi's frustrated little appearance, the eldest grandson Wuji laughed loudly, laughing so much that Li Zhi was confused, scratched his head and said: "Why is my uncle laughing, isn't what this palace said wrong?" ”

"Yes, yes, yes, what His Highness said is so right!" The eldest grandson Wuji clapped his hands and laughed: "Only its power is great, and there is something to be done under His Highness, which is a good thing." ”

"Oh? What do you mean by that? When Li Zhi heard this, he was interested, and hurriedly asked.

The eldest grandson Wuji walked to Li Zhi's side with a smile and said softly: "King Yue is powerful, His Royal Highness is anxious, but I am afraid that others will be more anxious...... That's it, what does Your Highness think? ”

"Okay, according to my uncle's words, this palace will prepare this chapter and ask for credit for the starling!" After listening to the words of the eldest grandson Wuji, Li Zhi raised his eyebrows and laughed......
