Chapter 218: Panic
Over the years, Zhao Xu's favor to the Liu family has never been shaken by anything, since the birth of the little prince, the Liu family's position in the palace has become more stable, and Zhao Xu's favor for her has almost reached the point of no return, almost responding.
Take the matter in front of her, how could the other concubines go to the emperor without being summoned?
Zhao Xu's body softened, and he breathed a sigh of relief, letting Liu's pair of Qianqian jade hands roam over him.
After a long time, when Liu's hands finally stopped, Zhao Xu opened his eyes, smiled slightly, and said to Liu very gently: Zitong's craftsmanship is getting better and better, I was caressed by you like this, and any tiredness disappeared without a trace. You are really my interpreter flower and annoyance bird.
Liu smiled slightly and said: What is this worth, if the official family likes it, the slave can massage you every day, I am afraid that the official family will be bored with the concubine one day. The concubine just wants to massage the official family, but she can't do it!
Although she said something like a complaint, the smile on her face did not slow down a little, because she knew that the official family liked her smile very much. She will always try to do well what the official family likes.
However, what she didn't know was that when she laughed, she looked even more like Zhao Jing. If she and Zhao Jing are only three points similar in appearance, this laugh is seven points similar. It's a pity that although she is smart and clever, she can't see herself smiling.
Sure enough, Zhao Xu was stunned, a pair of originally godless eyes were round at this time, his eyes were full of admiration and fascination, and he looked directly at the jade man who was close at hand.
Of course, Liu is confident, and she feels very satisfied with her appearance every time she looks in the mirror. Of course, she is also very satisfied with Zhao Xu's favor.
However, she felt that she should be able to use her stunning appearance to seek more favor for herself, such as the right to speak on political affairs. She also knew when to fight for these favors, so she leaned her delicate body towards Zhao Xu so that he could hug him.
Sure enough, as every time before, when Zhao Xu showed such a look on her face, as long as she leaned her body towards her, he would hug her without any suspense. Then, she naturally lay down next to Zhao Xu.
All this, for Liu, is so familiar, she has been trained more than 100 times, and she has never failed since the first time.
So, she decided it was time to start taking the first step out of bounds. She first poured her loving gaze on Zhao Xu's pale face, sighed softly, and her tone was very similar to that of ordinary wives: Look at you, you have lost weight! Although you are the king of a country, you are also the husband of so many of us! I know that as the king of a country, you have to do your duty, and there is nothing wrong with that. However, if you are exhausted like this, how can you continue to contribute to this country and the country in the future, and how can you lead your subordinates to fight for the prosperity of the Great Song Dynasty?
Her words were reasonable, and she seemed to be completely thinking about Zhao Xu, and she didn't show any other thoughts at all. Zhao Xu was naturally moved, and hugged her body tighter with her hands.
Liu finally felt that the heat of this dish was enough, so he continued: If you have anything difficult, you can consult with the prime minister and ministers, and the more people there are, the more ideas you will have. What good results can you get out of sitting here alone and meditating all the time?
As she expected, Zhao Xu really shook his head a little sadly: Today's court is no longer as polite as the first emperor was when he was in the court. Looking around at the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, apart from Zhang Xiang and other people, who else can be as talented and virtuous as the first emperor when he was in the court, and also do his best to assist the government? These people, all day long, think about how to fight, how to abuse power, and consult with them, and what can they discuss? Moreover, Zhang Xiang and a few of them, I have already appointed too many envoys for them to do, and if I consult with them on everything, I will have to worry about exhausting everything. After all, he is sixty-six years old this year!
When Liu heard the word Zhang Xiang, a trace of imperceptible coldness flashed on his face, but he quickly laughed and said: Those things in the court, the concubine and the Taoist family don't know much about it. However, since there is no one to consult with in the official family, what does it matter if it is difficult to make a decision
Before she could say a word, she suddenly heard a rush of footsteps outside the door, she was also alert, immediately stopped talking, slowly got up from the chair, and reached out to straighten her bun by the way.
After a short time, I saw a person outside the door hurrying towards this side. Because there are rules for walking in the forbidden palace, it must be a trend, that is, walking quickly with your head down, if the pace is wrong, there is a suspicion of great disrespect. This man is tall, and it seems that it is really difficult to come over like this.
finally came closer, and Liu recognized him as the eunuch Tong Guan at a glance, and a smile appeared on his face. The displeasure of being interrupted was swept away.
As a queen who knows how to manage, Liu knows that every trustworthy person around Zhao Xu should become the object of her friendship, and this is not the slightest slack just because she has already sat on the throne of the queen. Because sometimes, a eunuch can play a key role. As for the words that have not been finished today, if she misses today, there will be a chance to say it in the future, how many days have she already waited, how can she care about waiting a few more days?
Zhao Xu saw Tong Guan's panicked face, and without waiting for him to kneel down and salute, he asked head-on: Tong Guan, why are you so panicked? When he was talking warmly with the queen just now, he was ruined by Tong Guan hurriedly running in, and the anger in his heart can be imagined.
Tong Guan pounced and knelt down, and said in the future: No, it's not good, the official science exam has leaked!
Zhao Xu's thin body like a bamboo pole suddenly bounced up, and asked in a slightly trembling voice: You, what did you say?
Tong Guan finally relieved himself at this time and said: "The question has been leaked, the scientific examination has been leaked!"
Zhao Xu suddenly sat back in his chair, and his mind suddenly went blank.
This time it's really over, my Great Song Dynasty has been attaching importance to scientific research for more than 100 years, and the subject of scientific research is extremely strictly protected. It's very difficult to smuggle exam questions out of this. Therefore, in the past 100 years, there has never been a leak in the scientific examination!
This is a good thing, once this kind of thing is born, it will inevitably be a stain that will never be erased in history. This is too difficult to accept for an emperor like Zhao Xu, who takes it as his mission to create an unprecedented cause of the dynasty.
Official!
Seeing that the momentum was not good, Liu hurriedly stepped forward and supported Zhao Xu's crumbling body.
Zhao Xu finally came to his senses and immediately shouted wildly: What are you doing here? Why don't you go and pass the decree quickly, and order the guards to send people to immediately surround the Gongyuan and block the city gate. Immediately send the guards to prison and order the deputy commander to assist in the arrest of the relevant people involved in the case!
Zhao Xu said so much in one breath, his face turned red, and he couldn't help it, and coughed fiercely. When I turned around, I saw Tong Guan still standing there in a daze, not knowing what to do. He was furious in his heart, broke away from Liu's hands, coughed on his mouth, and stepped forward, kicking Tong Guanpu's head and face!
