Chapter 114. Burnout (Alliance Leader 10/3)

Bazhou, Zhongjing City, in the Great Yin Palace. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

After the Spring Festival, the spring breeze is blowing, and the snow in winter is melting, but there is no green outside the window, and I only feel a coolness through my heart. Perhaps the sun had already set in the west, and only pulled out a long streak of dusk on the roof, and the noon majesty was gone, and the brilliant scorching sun was shining in the middle.

Xiao Dezi walked briskly from gallery to gallery, wearing a medium-grade sable leather jacket, looking neat and soo, like a decent rich and noble son. But he held a tray in his hand, a ginseng tea and a snack were placed on it, estimating the time in his heart, and the solemnity on his face was a little lighter, and it was not too late for the emperor to use tea.

When the sun approached dusk, the palace asked for silence, and along the way, most of them were silent eunuchs and palace maids, but their ranks were much lower than Xiao Dezi, and they also saluted him respectfully when they met, and they did not dare to slack off.

"A companion is like a tiger."

But Xiao Dezi knew in his heart that this kind of respect was actually for the person sitting high on the dragon chair behind him, he nodded expressionlessly, but his heart was extremely open, especially knowing that his predecessor, that is, his father-in-law since childhood, Wang De's father-in-law, was now sent to the imperial mausoleum, and he was even more cautious.

The palace is no better than the outside, the rules are cumbersome, there are many things, and there is no backstage and can't suppress others, so it is common for these eunuchs to become righteous brothers, or to worship under the hands of a great eunuch as a godson. But no one takes this relationship seriously, they flatter each other on weekdays, and they have no connection when something happens, most of them in the palace are like this, all by their own opportunities.

Now that Xiao Dezi is on the throne, he never mentions the former father-in-law, although everyone understands it, but no one will say it clearly, at this time, offending Xiao Dezi who took advantage of the situation, no one is so stupid.

"Ahem."

As he walked forward, there was a light cough in front of Xiao Dezi, he raised the tray in his hand, the ginseng tea that had just been boiled was still faintly hot, and he looked at the two Ouchi guards at the entrance of the gallery in front of him, and continued to walk forward expressionlessly, as if he would not be moved by a landslide.

When Da Yin Palace came out of this gallery, Xiao Dezi's heart was also slightly tight, and the hand holding the ginseng tea involuntarily shook slightly. Although he has been serving by the side of Emperor Yin Shizun for a period of time, he still does not dare to be careless, in his opinion, he is tantamount to walking on thin ice, and this description is also appropriate.

Bowing his head to show respect, he entered the Dayin Palace in a familiar way, but did not enter the palace of this routine court meeting, but walked along the side gallery to a study, looking at the closed door, Xiao Dezi also looked at the two small yellow doors waiting at the door, and asked softly: "Has the emperor rested?" ”

"Father-in-law, the emperor is still reading and has not rested."

One of the little yellow doors on duty opened his mouth to answer, but he also spoke softly, he didn't dare to say anything, he just said a simple sentence, and then he waved his hand towards the door of the study, and the partner on duty next to him picked up the food box he brought, and slowly left here, no longer they were needed.

Because he is now on duty as Xiao Dezi, but unlike the two little yellow gates, as Yin Shizun's personal eunuch, he is not only in a high position in this Forbidden Imperial City, but also has the qualifications to face saints from time to time.

"Dangdangdang."

For example, now, he held the tray with one hand, carefully came to the door, calmed his tone a little, stretched out his hand and knocked on the door gently, and said softly: "Your Majesty, the servant brought you ginseng tea in the imperial dining room, and there is still half an hour for dinner. ”

The door is made of golden silk nan wood, it seems that the years are not short, but there are faint gold lines flowing on it, it looks graceful and luxurious, in the palace of Dayin, even if it is a study, it is also a family of carpenters who have inherited a hundred years, and it is made.

Xiao Dezi stood quietly at the door and waited, as long as there were some officials of the same level, or the chamberlains who had been in the palace for a long time, they all knew that this was the place where the current emperor Yin Shizun often came on weekdays, and he also did not dare to slack off. After a while, the sound of a pen seemed to be coming from inside, and at the same time, Yin Shizun's voice also appeared slowly: "Come in." ”

At this time, hearing the voice, Xiao Dezi, who had been waiting outside the door for a while, dared to slowly push the door open and enter, and a wave of heat came to his face, mixed with the elegant fragrance of high-grade incense burning, which immediately dispelled the cold outside, and also made Xiao Dezi couldn't help but inhale the warm aroma, and suddenly felt relaxed and happy, and his spirit was a little better.

"Your Majesty, the freshly boiled ginseng soup is on the table for you."

But Xiao Dezi also hurriedly closed the door with his backhand, walked over quickly, and looked at Yin Shizun, who was standing next to the bookshelf, as if he was sorting out books, and lightly put the ginseng tea and snacks on the desk, and said softly at the same time: "The slave also brought a salty and sweet snack, I hope the emperor will cushion his stomach first." ”

"Hmm." Yin Shizun nodded, but did not turn back, still standing in place and carefully taking care of the bookshelves, carefully arranging the treasured classics on it, these are rare treasures outside, and even the only books that have never been circulated among the people.

However, Yin Shizun didn't care, he had read the classics in this study since he was a child, and he had already been familiar with it by heart, although it could not be called a back-to-back stream, but it could also be regarded as a classic passage, but now he stacked these solitary books together somewhat casually, just picked up a single volume of framed calligraphy and paintings and put them in the center.

Xiao Dezi glanced at it, but couldn't help but be slightly stunned, originally hanging in the middle of the bookshelf, it should be a painting, although it is a few strokes, but it seems to bring the woman in the painting to life, which can be called a master's hand.

In the past, Yin Shizun took care of the painting himself, although he was a personal eunuch, he couldn't get close to the bookshelf where the painting was located, let alone touch the painting with his hands, even if it was to wipe the dust falling on the scroll, it was not at all, because this was the only transfer of his father-in-law Wang De before taking office.

He didn't dare not listen, because this sentence was followed by the self-deprecation of Wang De's father-in-law, who moved, who died.

When he came here, he had never touched the painting before and after Yin Shizun, and the Great Yin Emperor seemed to be silent, praising his sensible psychology. At least he had never been near the bookshelf, nor had he ever taken the initiative to organize the books and scrolls on the shelf, and he had never been reprimanded for it.

But now, his stunned eyes immediately turned into horror, and his heart was beating with a puff, because Xiao Dezi also found that the painting was rolled up and placed on the table next to him, and now Yin Shizun wants to hang it, it seems that he doesn't know who wrote a Zen saying.

As the emperor's chamberlain, he had to figure out the meaning at any time, but Xiao Dezi's heart was beating so hard that he didn't know what to do, so he just stood in place, stunned and didn't dare to speak.

"I wrote it."

Yin Shizun carefully hung up the framed words, carefully straightened and leveled, and there was a little more smile on his face, took a few steps back, looked at the two sentences above, nodded with satisfaction, and asked Xiao Dezi next to him: "This picture is okay, right?" ”

"Return, go back to the emperor, the slave doesn't understand, doesn't understand the words..."

Xiao Dezi reacted suddenly, subconsciously swallowed and spit, bowed slightly and took two steps back, and also left the desk, and said tremblingly: "But, but the words written by the emperor, it must be extreme, excellent." ”

"Huh." Yin Shizun didn't care about Xiao Dezi's nervousness, this question, he was more like asking himself. Slowly exhaled, looking at the two sentences on it, there was a little more relief between his eyebrows, as if he had put down something, and muttered: "I choose flowers and fires all day long, and I don't know that I am a dojo." ”

This sentence has been going on for a while, and many people have talked about it and are tired of hearing it, but Yin Shizun thinks that this sentence is very good, and it is very Zen, no less than the famous sayings and aphorisms of those virtuous monks.

Looking at this painting, he wrote it by his own hand, Yin Shizun also nodded, slowly picked up the picture scroll next to him, gently opened it, looked at the young girl on it, smiled happily, he also showed a smile, and muttered: "You also think it's good, don't you?" ”

Yin Shizun said, the air in the study seemed to be frozen, Xiao Dezi's breathing slowed down, he only felt that he couldn't breathe because of the coercion, he subconsciously retreated, his legs were weak, and he stood in place helplessly, he didn't know what was happening, but he could feel that this power came from the emperor not far away.

It seems that he is aware of his gaffe, Yin Shizun also retracted the power that was unintentionally revealed, but his expression was still with nostalgia, the eyes of this Great Yin Emperor also had more majesty, he was the Son of Heaven.

"When the child grows up, it's time for him to go on his own."

Yin Shizun took the scroll and walked to the side, a bronze bird stove of incense was still curling with green smoke, he reached out and picked up the lid of the stove, looked at the smoke inside, and threw the scroll inside, with a flame burning on the mounted paper, and the scroll was completely swallowed in the fire.

The scroll burned very fast, making the smell of incense a little stronger, and Yin Shizun stood in front of the bronze bird smoker, I don't know how long it took, before he slowly exhaled, turned to look at the stunned little Dezi and asked, "Is the ginseng tea ready?" ”

"Ready, ready!"

Xiao Dezi immediately responded, but he only felt that his mouth was dry, and he didn't dare to swallow the saliva, but quickly bowed down and admitted: "Also, there are salty and sweet snacks brought by the slave in the imperial dining room, please ask the emperor to cover your hunger first." ”

"Well, that's good." Yin Shizun nodded, walked towards the table, picked up the ginseng tea that had been prepared and took a sip, the taste was strong and mellow, lukewarm and hot, just right. With two kinds of sweet and salty snacks, he drank the ginseng tea, and the bronze bird smoker not far away curled up, and the picture scroll inside was also burned.
