At the end of the year, the emperor was also busy.

Emperor Guangqi was unwell, but many of the government affairs he handled still had to be handled personally, and he had just met with a few ministers, and Zhao Yin went to the palace to wait for the summons.

"Call him in."

Emperor Guangqi was dressed in civilian clothes and met Zhao Yin in the warm pavilion of the Qianqing Palace, except for the chamberlain Li Mingchang, all the left and right screens withdrew. Without the presence of outsiders, there were fewer rules, Zhao Yi didn't let him do such a false courtesy, and asked Li Mingchang to carry a chair in front of him, and sat close to Zhao Yin to talk.

Before returning to Beijing, Zhao Yin also sent a letter to Beijing, and the two exchanged for a while, Zhao Yi was very interested in Zhao Yin's "three-person line" decree implemented in Lulongsai, and asked very carefully.

Zhao Yin said: "Your Majesty, this plan is not from me, and the minister does not dare to take credit." ”

Guangqi sighed and looked at him, "So, there are still masters in Aiqing's camp?" ”

Zhao Yin stood up, saluted Emperor Guangqi, and explained how Song Ashi helped him clear the big trouble in the camp, and came up with a "threesome" strategy to ensure the stability of the military spirit of the camp during the war, and burned the enemy camp in order to achieve the final victory.

"Weichen wants to ask for a reward for Song Ashi."

Emperor Guangqi smiled and said: "With such a capable person, I should be rewarded, Xu Guan Jialu, what does Aiqing think?" ”

Zhao Yin lowered his eyelids, "Song Ashi is a woman." ”

"Woman?"

Emperor Guangqi was stunned and coughed heavily. At the time of the war, Zhao Yin openly took a woman with him, which was not a formality, and seeing that the emperor's cough intensified, Zhao Yin hurriedly bowed his head and pleaded guilty.

"You."

Guangqi sighed, waved his hand, and motioned for him to sit down.

"As a woman, how do you want me to reward her? If you make a public decree, you will be vindicated, and your reputation will be damaged. ”

Zhao Yin: "The minister doesn't care about fame. ”

Emperor Guangqi snorted and coughed again, "You don't care, but I do." And when a woman is sealed, there is no good end, and it is also a stick to kill her. Anyway, I will allow her some gold and silver wealth, and if there is a man in her family, Aiqing can also look at the promotion. ”

Zhao Yin didn't say much.

After chatting further, the emperor asked about the case of the evil monarch in Qingshan Town.

Due to the urgency of the war, after the fire burned the snake cave in Daqingshan, Zhao Yin handed over all the captured cultivators and deacons to Lulong County and Yongping Mansion Yamen.

However, whether the deceased Fu Erlang was the evil monarch himself, Zhao Yin was already suspicious, and later Lu Longsai had another murder and eel poisoning to the general, it is almost certain that even if Fu Erlang is the evil monarch, there are even more evil people behind the evil monarch. In other words, the Evil King is just a code name, and it is still unknown who is hidden under the falcon mask.

After listening to his story, Emperor Guangqi's eyebrows furrowed.

"Could this matter be related to Uliang Khan?"

From the killing of the envoy to the southward movement of Uliang Khan, from the rebellion of the county commander Qian Minggui to fool the people and the command of Yongpingwei to bribe Shi Hongxing, to the killing and causing panic when the two armies were fighting, the beneficiary was Wuliang Khan.

Emperor Guangqi thought for a while, and then said: "Batu wolf is ambitious, and he wants to go south overnight, but he is lonely and conceited, and what he wants is the joy of chasing deer and the power of iron hooves, which may not make these three indiscriminate methods." If the dead messengers were all Wuzhisu's people, then Laisang was the most suspicious. ”

Zhao Yin said lightly: "Weichen also suspected him. ”

Emperor Guangqi said: "Now there is no doubt? ”

Zhao Yin said: "He doesn't have that brain. ”

Emperor Guangqi squinted at him and nodded, "The Wuliang Khan Dynasty is divided into two factions, and there are many people who support Laisang, or it may be that someone knows that this son is useless and has to use some means to ......."

Zhao Yin shook his head: "It's too coincidental." ”

Emperor Guangqi said: "How do you say this? ”

Zhao Yin looked at the emperor's pale face, and said lightly: "Pick Wu Risu's people to kill, and show us what you do." If it is too deliberate, it will be false. ”

"Very much."

Emperor Guangqi looked at him approvingly, asked Gonggong Li to bring tea, and took a sip, "Then there is no clue about this matter?" ”

"Yes."

Zhao Yin slowly opened the cotton cloth bag he carried, revealing a few thin albums, he glanced at Emperor Guangqi, and lowered his head to present it.

"Your Majesty, please take a look."

Emperor Guangqi took the book, flipped through it slightly, and his brows jumped slightly.

""Spring Lantern in Brocade"? "The Legend of the Flute"? "Jade Palace Slaying the Dragon"? "The Real Lady Duel"? "Flower Tasting"? ”

Reading sentence by sentence, Gonggong Li next to him turned red.

Emperor Guangqi raised his eyebrows slightly and laughed, "What does Aiqing mean by this?" Returning victorious, a great gift to me? ”

Zhao Yin's face was expressionless, and he didn't mean to laugh at all.

"These books were found from the dead evil king."

He turned over a few pages of "Spring Lantern in Brocade Clothes", pointed out the page with the cave painted on it to Emperor Guangqi, and told him his doubts.

"Weichen checked, except for this "Brocade Spring Lantern", the rest of the albums are from the workshop or private carving......"

He turned out the "Spring Lantern in Brocade", held the paper to the light, looked at it for a moment, put it on top, and motioned for the emperor to watch it.

"From paper to printing, the brocade spring lantern is like an official engraving."

"Official carving?" Emperor Guangqi's eyes were slightly cold, and he was greatly surprised.

There are three ways of Da Yan's book engraving: official engraving, private engraving, and workshop engraving.

Workshop engraving is generally a folk bookseller for profit and engraved book printing, mostly for the market book album, private engraving is the scholar, squire, temple, Taoist hall, family ancestral hall and other personal engraved books. As long as there is money, everyone can do it, the scope is huge, there are many people involved, and it is not easy to find.

But the official engraving is different.

The Inner Government, the Central Government and the local government carved books, collectively known as official carvings, no matter what level of official carvings, most of them are various comprehensive bibliographies such as the subset of Mengxue classics and history, but in any case, the official carvings will never appear "Jinyi Spring Lantern" This kind of obscene calligraphy and painting album.

The two chatted for a while, and when Xiao Chunzi came in with a decoction, Zhao Yin saw Emperor Guangqi taking the medicine, so he got up and said goodbye. Before leaving, he took "Spring Lantern in Brocade" and those albums.

Emperor Guangqi saw him like this, and coughed and laughed.

"Wu Ling, am I going to give you a match?"

Zhao Yin arched his hand: "Thank you Your Majesty for your kindness, the minister has no plan yet." ”

Emperor Guangqi sighed, seeing that there was a heavy shadow in his gaze, "Master Dao Chang has passed away for many years, you don't have to take his words to heart." ”

Zhao Yin was silent.

Emperor Guangqi said again: "The dignified governor, even if he can't marry a wife and take a concubine, there should be a few women in his service." Otherwise, how will this long time be passed? Even if I can give you glory and riches, who will share them with you? ”

Seeing the complicated light floating in the emperor's eyes, Zhao Yin pursed his lips, but finally didn't say anything, "Your Majesty, take care of the dragon body, it is the blessing of Weichen and the blessing of all the people in the world." ”

Emperor Guangqi sighed.

No further persuasion.

He is the Son of Heaven and the Ninety-Five, but there are too many things that can be done. For Zhao Yin, he often feels indebted, but the Zen master's precepts and the emperor's advice cannot be disobeyed.

Zhao Yin walked out of the palace gate, and he could still hear the emperor's cough.

He frowned, crossed the threshold, and a cold figure rushed up, crashed straight into his arms, and hugged him tightly.

"Uncle Yin. I've been waiting for you for a long time. ”

The little one's hands were as cold as ice cubes, and he went straight into his arms. Zhao Yin held it in his palm and asked unhappily, "Why is Your Highness here?" ”

"I've said I'm waiting for you." Zhao Yunzhen raised his head to look at him, his eyes seemed to be flashing stars, and he looked at him like a puppy, "The East Palace is not fun, I want to go back to the house with you." ”

"No way!" Zhao Yin refused without thinking about it.

Zhao Yunzhen pursed his mouth and scolded him with a sad face.

"me! Isn't it good? When you return to Beijing in triumph, I will go with you to the Wuqi Pavilion. Bowing his head slightly, he said aggrieved, "I haven't seen my little daughter-in-law yet." ”

Zhao Yin's face darkened, "Who is your little daughter-in-law?" Where did you learn gibberish. ”

Zhao Yunzhen stuck out his tongue and didn't dare to joke anymore.

"I want to go see Ah Shi. Oh, Uncle Yin, what book do you have in your arms? I'll take a look at ......"

Zhao Yin's face stiffened slightly, and he quickly pressed the book and looked at him with a cold face.

"The secrets of the military plane, how can you watch them at will."

"Oh." Zhao Yunzhen is not a completely unruly child, as soon as he heard this, he lowered his hand and stopped grabbing his books, but he was still stubborn.

"Then I'll go with you."

Before Zhao Yin could speak, footsteps came from behind.

He turned around and saw Li Mingchang.

He respectfully greeted the prince, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty said that His Royal Highness the prince has been thinking about the Metropolitan Governor for a long time, and allows him to go out of the palace for a few days, but he must not mess around, be obedient, and follow the Metropolitan Governor to learn martial arts and literature." ”

Zhao Yunzhen's face was full of joy, knelt down at the door of the palace, and kowtowed.

"The sons and daughters thank their fathers, long live their fathers, long live long live."

There was a heavy coughing sound in the hall.

Zhao Yunzhen's small brows furrowed, and he was a little worried.

"Gonggong Li, why hasn't my father gotten better yet?"

Gonggong Li sighed, "Your Majesty has been thinking about it for a long time, and it is difficult to cure it. The imperial doctor said that there has been some improvement recently, don't be afraid, Your Highness, it will get better. ”

Zhao Yunzhen thought for a while and said, "Then I won't leave the palace, stay and accompany my father." ”

Gonggong Li laughed, "Your Highness has really grown up and is sensible." However, with His Highness in his side, His Majesty is more likely to work ......"

Doesn't that mean he's causing trouble?

Zhao Yunzhen pursed his mouth and snorted silently.

Gonggong Li raised his head with a smile, and when he came into contact with Zhao Yin's sight, his eyes flashed slightly, and he walked with him to the outside of the palace gate, and whispered:

"The queen mother is about to come to the moon, just a few days."

Zhao Yin remained silent, glanced at Zhao Yunzhen in the distance, did not speak, and listened to Li Gonggong: "The imperial doctor and the old people in the camp all said that this fetus is a little prince." ”

When he left the palace, Zhao Yunzhen sat in Zhao Yin's carriage and looked at him with a puzzled expression, "Li Mingchang, that old thing, what did you say to you again?" ”

Zhao Yin looked at him: "Let me discipline you." ”

Zhao Yunzhen snorted, "I'm the crown prince, how do you care?" ”

Zhao Yin slanted at him coldly.

Zhao Yunzhen saw his face, immediately obediently became obedient, put his hands on his knees, pursed his mouth and whispered: "You adults like to hide it." It's not a big deal, don't think I don't know, isn't it just that the queen mother is going to give birth to a son? Originally, I was the only prince in the palace, but now there is one more prince, and everyone's eyes have changed. The prince is not the crown prince, but what if the queen mother gives birth to a son? Can she make her son the crown prince? ”

"Yunzhen!"

Zhao Yin stopped him, "Don't talk nonsense." ”

Children are the most sensitive, and adults often pretend to be hard, but in fact, they have already seen through it at a glance.

In this palace, if you say who is most accustomed to Zhao Yunzhen, it must be Queen Zhang. Zhao Yunzhen has always called her "Queen Mother", but this time she called the queen mother in front of Zhao Yin, and separated the relatives, putting the queen's son on the opposite side of him.

It is clear that small children understand everything.

Zhao Yin said coldly: "Disaster comes from the mouth." Didn't I teach you? ”

Zhao Yunzhen's eyes were red, and he looked at him and said, "I don't say it in front of others, I only say it in front of you." Uncle Yin, will you betray me? ”

Unexpectedly, he asked this, and Zhao Yin looked at him with heavy eyebrows.

The child was very serious, looking at him with dark eyes and said, "No matter what high-ranking officials and peerless beauties others promise you, you will not betray me or betray me, will you?" ”

Zhao Yin stared at his eyes for a long time, and put his hand on his head, "Yes." ”

Zhao Yunzhen was very happy when he heard this, and threw himself into Zhao Yin's arms, hugged him tightly, and whispered: "In the future, you are not allowed to accept the son of the queen mother as an apprentice, and you are not allowed to teach him to practice martial arts and riding archery." You only have one apprentice, me. ”

Zhao Yin said: "Okay." ”

Zhao Yunzhen arched in his arms with satisfaction, and his tone was a little more milky, "I don't have a mother, you and my father are the closest people to me." Uncle Yin, I promise you, when I grow up, I will give you whatever you want. ”

After a pause, he added.

"Except for Ah Shi, I'll give it to you."

Zhao Yin's body stiffened slightly, and a heavy hammer slapped him on the back.

"She can be your mother."

"Hush." Where is Zhao Yunzhen willing to listen, "She is only nine years older than me." Female junior, hugging gold bricks, wouldn't I be happy if I hugged three gold bricks at a time? ”

Zhao Yin pressed the back of his head and pinched it hard.

"Wimpy kid."

Zhao Yunzhen screamed and laughed.

------Off topic------

Regarding the emperor's concerns about the reward of women in the book, I hope that everyone will consider it in combination with the social environment in the book, and do not bring into the values of modern civilized society............ However, the characters in the book scold casually, as long as they don't scold the author. Scold me, I'll ao you, roar!

PS: This chapter is very thick ~ long ha! See you later, there are two more chapters~
