Wei Zhonghe Wei Gonggong came out of the back garden today and returned to the palace.

He came to bring back some items to be used after the beginning of spring in advance, although Emperor Yan does not like extravagance, and he is not particular about the degree of use, but there will be no shortage of these.

but

Sometimes, people miss the old.

With the things you are used to, that familiarity, it doesn't mean that adding new ones can make up for it.

At this point, even the emperor who is high above is not exempt from vulgarity.

There are not many things to be packed, but they all have to be carefully placed, and Gonggong Wei asked his subordinates to do it first, and he only needs to be responsible for the final inspection.

So

In this gap,

Father-in-law Wei went to the palace house where he used to live.

The house was not locked, but no one dared to enter Wei Zhonghe's house without permission, regardless of whether he was there.

Push open the door,

In the room, there was some dampness, mixed with a musty smell.

Father-in-law Wei didn't care, walked inside, and opened the curtain outside the shelf.

A shelf,

Mr. Full of Horns,

There are long and short, straight and curved, thick and thin,

There is a bookish smell in the exquisiteness,

There is also a kind of heroism wrapped in roughness,

even

There are also broken and broken defective products.

This dazzling Mr. Horn presents a kind of life.

It sounds ridiculous,

But what to see and feel is nothing more than the person who sees it to decide.

it's raining

The poet will chant "The light rain in the heavenly street is as moist as a crisp", and the little people will kick the buttocks of the baby next to him, "Call your mother to go back and collect the clothes".

Father-in-law Wei hasn't been back to the palace for a long time,

When I came back this time,

He could feel it,

The guards at the palace gate were more polite and courteous when they saluted him;

Those eunuchs and palace ladies who passed along the way? He was even more fearful than ever;

But this is attentive?

But is this fear?

Inside, there is a kind of alienation.

The mind of a eunuch? Already more sensitive than ordinary people? A eunuch who can serve the emperor? Can you catch the errand of Grandpa Wei, who is like a tiger? Naturally, it is more sensitive and delicate.

In fact?

What do others think of themselves? How others treat him, he Wei Zhonghe actually doesn't care very much.

However?

Now the question is,

Come back this time?

He found himself that he no longer seemed to belong here.

This palace, he stayed in for almost half of his life.

Entering the palace when you were young? After being sent to the palace? Later, the prince became the emperor, and he re-entered the palace.

Palace? It was the emperor's home;

But except for the emperor? It is a repressive cage for all.

But the prisoners may not hate and resent it.

Because I'm used to it,

I've been used to it for a long time,

Instead, an attachment is created.

Just as the barbarians will miss the desert wind and sand wherever they are; No matter where the wild man is, it is still snowy in his dreams.

Grandpa Wei stretched out his hand,

Gently rubbed his eyebrows,

This is a place where he is alone, a place where he can unload everything and be himself seriously.

There is no need to disguise, although disguise has become an instinct, but at least, here, it is possible to take a little more breath than leave half a breath for a moment.

No one knows the condition of His Majesty's dragon body better than Wei Zhonghe,

but

No one dared to ask about His Majesty Wei Zhonghe's condition.

Standing here,

Looking at this row of all kinds of horn gentlemen,

Wei Zhonghe suddenly found that the peace in his heart, the kind of tranquility and comfort that he could get when facing them in the past, was gradually disappearing with great clarity.

It is like a jar of wine, placed under the scorching sun, in the heavy rain, and soon, the taste of wine will dissipate.

root

root

lifeblood

I am a rootless person, so what's the use of having so many roots?

Over the years,

He, a rootless man,

I have seen too many people with roots doing things that have no roots in front of themselves.

Grandpa Wei actually doesn't know what he's thinking now.

possible

This is the sadness of the scene,

pity

He can't write poetry;

Well

Even if you can write poetry,

Is it possible to write "Watching the Sun and the Moon and the Cape, Mr. has a feeling to have this memory"?

"Hehe......"

Grandpa Wei was amused by himself.

He subconsciously took out a small bottle and sprinkled some on the crotch of his pants.

He has long been not like ordinary eunuchs;

But this habit is still there.

When I was a little eunuch in the palace, I always saw the big eunuch applying grease and powder to the crotch and adding incense.

I always feel that

It's envious, it's amazing.

pity

Your Majesty doesn't like incense on weekdays, and he doesn't like to smell so strong.

But the "Awakening Dew" produced in Fengxincheng is very fond of His Majesty.

In fact, it is the wind oil essence made by the Hou Mansion.

Emperor Yan rarely set up tribute, because this often turned into a waste of money and labor.

But for useful things, Emperor Yan wouldn't mind ordering Wei Zhonghe to quietly buy some for himself.

For example, this awakening dew.

The Hou Mansion of Fengxin City naturally attaches great importance to this, and has sent a lot, not only awakening dew, but also other kinds of perfumes, which are as precious and rare as gold.

Emperor Yan, who was lying on the bed, had specially ordered someone to present the gift list of the Hou Mansion,

Glancing,

This habit may originate from a habit left by a butcher who dared to show off his wealth on the pig's head and pig's feet.

After reading the gift list,

Emperor Yan said;

"For the rest, you keep it and watch it."

Wei Zhonghe knelt down to thank him, and said at the same time: "The slave won't use this, I'm afraid that it will smoke Your Majesty." ”

Long

Yanhuang Road:

"It doesn't matter."

subsequently

Again:

"I can't smell anything anymore."

Wei Zhonghe recalled that scene,

In the corners of his eyes, tears appeared.

It's people, and they all have to rely on.

He's a piece of duckweed,

When he entered the palace back then, he knew that the support of his life was on this master.

As long as the master is good,

He Wei Zhonghe, he will be fine.

maybe

What he Wei Zhonghe cares about is not a palace, a palace, something like a dead thing, what can it be counted!

Wei Zhonghe stretched out his hand and pulled the curtain down again.

He didn't think about transferring and disposing of these, and more extremely, burning them;

He wanted to keep it for the future owner of this house, so that he could see his collection.

The things of the world,

How many disturbances, how many grievances and hatreds,

Seemingly complex,

In fact, it is also simple,

There is only one sentence left:

Is it a handle?

Somehow,

Father-in-law Wei, who went out of the house, suddenly thought of the Marquis of Pingxi who entered the palace in a panic that night to report the news.

yes

Sealed marquis,

It's true

He's an amazing talent.

Father-in-law Wei immediately pinched the orchid,

Step into this rain curtain outside,

Humming:

"It's a pity, it's a pity~"

——

A pot of freshly warmed rice wine, a plate of broad beans, a plate of pickled vegetables stored in the cellar, and a steaming white pot with only two slices of ginger and a green onion are enough to brew a moment of beauty on a cold day.

The hot in the pot is not mutton, but tender tofu, which is not easy to sandwich in, and if you want to clip it out, you need more skill;

After blanching, take it out, walk it in the saucer, and finally put it in the mouth, the fragrance is warm, and you don't need to chew too much, you can already slide down the throat into the abdominal cavity to dispel the cold around you.

Zhao Jiulang beckoned several other ministers to eat together;

Dayan's cabinet ministers are different from the Privy Council of the Qianguo, which is the so-called ministers, and they are even more different from the cabinet of the Ming Dynasty that Marquis Zheng is familiar with.

At this moment, a small yellow door came in with a stack of folds and placed it on the public table on the side.

Seeing the adults eating tofu together, he couldn't help but sniff after coming in from outside and frozen.

Zhao Jiulang handed over a pair of chopsticks and pointed to the bowls that were cleanly stacked there next to him.

"Thank you, sir."

Xiao Huangmen was not polite, picked up the chopsticks and picked up the bowl, and squeezed in, obviously not the first time to partner.

Fresh tender tofu will be delivered every other hour in the imperial dining room, and other side dishes such as rice wine will be added according to the situation.

In fact, this pot, either don't order it, or if you order it, it will burn for a long time.

In the winter, whoever wants to eat two pieces will come and eat it by himself, so in the circle of courtiers in the foreign court, there has always been a saying that the cabinet people open tofu flowing water seats there every day.

Zhao Jiulang got up, walked to the public table, and began to flip through the newly delivered folds.

In the past, when His Majesty was in the palace, it was the celebrant who held the power to approve the red, that is, on behalf of His Majesty's will, to affirm, deny and renegotiate the results of the deliberations of the courtiers.

The small kiosk that book friends used to use has been hung, and now they are basically using the source change artifact app.

His Majesty rarely stays in the middle of the time, his will, too lazy to let the courtiers guess and ponder, he will not be complacent because of this, let alone take the matter of the excerpt process, to play with the courtiers what kind of intrigue and power balance.

At the end of the day,

is still for the monarch, and has done a real word.

But now, it is the crown prince who is in charge of the country.

At the beginning, he had to bow down to everything, get up earlier than the courtiers, and leave later than the courtiers on duty, and he was also a corporal of courtesy and shameless, so that many ministers who were a little older had to simply lay on the floor in the palace or in the signing room, which was miserable.

Some complaints will inevitably reach Zhao Jiulang's ears, and Zhao Jiulang laughs at this.

Fortunately, gradually, after a long period of imprisonment, the prince began to learn to gradually withdraw himself from the routine and began to learn to use people to solve the following problems.

This seems to be a change of way, but in fact, it is even more mentality, and I have to accept the end of the redistribution of the authority I just got from my father.

The prince is a talent;

But Zhao Jiulang knows that there is a master, and he has already understood, otherwise the business would not be so big.

The newly sent excerpts are nothing particularly big, the year is not good, it is nothing more than disaster relief, disaster relief, disaster relief, and disaster relief, and then reduction of taxes, and then, it is to quell a rebellion.

Yandi is here in good shape, and the stamina of the old Yan people and the Ji family is still there;

And in Jindi, the small-scale rebellions were quite a bit of a flurry, but they were quickly suppressed.

At this time, Li Yinglian, the prince's personal companion, walked in, looked at the people gathered inside to eat tofu pot, and said with a smile:

"I say, I've been smelling the fragrance from afar."

Zhao Jiulang pointed to the inside and said:

"Father-in-law Li also has a bite?"

"No, no, no." Li Yinglian took half a step back and saluted Zhao Jiulang, "My lord, the prince invites you to go and discuss the candidate for the new Taishou of Nanwang City." ”

Li Yinglian came to invite in person, and directly said the matter in advance, which is a kind of respect.

Zhao Jiulang picked up the cloak he hung on the carbon stove,

Li Yinglian personally stepped forward and helped Zhao Jiulang put on the cloak.

Zhao Jiulang nodded and walked out, and Li Yinglian followed behind half a body.

His Majesty was raised in the back garden, and in the early days, the prince would go to the back garden every day to ask for a meeting and report on state affairs.

Later, the back garden simply closed the door collar, and in the middle and late of each month, he had to face the saint once, and the rest of the time, he was not seen.

There are rumors in the outside world that this is His Majesty's order to show his trust in the crown prince, so that the power can be smoothly transferred ahead of schedule;

But some people speculate that this is His Majesty's body and bones, and it is really so bad that it can't be worse, and it is extremely difficult to even meet people every day.

Emperor Yan's withdrawal changed the original model of the imperial court.

The crown prince supervises the country, has his own set of team in the East Palace, and then holds the name of righteousness, which is a pole;

The Six Princes, also known as the Six Masters Party, were suppressed at once because His Majesty ordered the crown prince to supervise the country and continue to give power, but with the number one cadre of the Six Masters Party, Zheng Fan, the banner bearer, was once again boosted morale.

Because many people believe that Zheng Fan is a marquis, although there are factors such as his outstanding merits, non-marquis cannot be rewarded, and non-marquis cannot settle down, but His Majesty Emperor Yan does not want to reset the intimate cooperation between him and the Marquis of Zhenbei.

Beyond the poles,

In fact, there is another pole,

That is a group of civil and military forces in the court led by Zaifu Zhao Jiulang.

When Emperor Yan was there, Lord Zaifu of Dayan has always given people a feeling of not being able to show the mountains and water, and even, the idlers in Yanjing City who love to have broken mouths also gave this Zaifu some "nicknames", such as "paper paste Zaifu", "clay sculpture Zaifu" or "thread lifter".

Because throughout the ages, Zai Fu actually has the natural historical attribute of leading hundreds of officials to compete for imperial power;

Available in Dayan,

What did Emperor Yan say,

Zhao Jiulang will do anything,

What does Emperor Yan want,

Zhao Jiulang will give anything,

Emperor Yan's will is his Zhao Jiulang's will, and at the same time, Zhao Jiulang will also try to "whip" the hundred officials and let them follow together.

Xiangquan, here in Zhao Jiulang, completely succumbed to the monarchy.

But after Emperor Yan entered the back garden, Zaifu's ability and power really surfaced.

How can this Xiangye, who was promoted from the cold door by Emperor Yan to the prime minister when the gate valves of the Great Yan family were full of lords, and after so many years of ups and downs, how could he be a simple character?

In the current situation,

After the invasion of Chu, Dayan was difficult, Jin was difficult, and the whole country, after ending the joyful celebration of the victory in the foreign war, began to pay off the debts for the "poor army".

The situation of power struggle did not arise;

Whether it is the crown prince or the sixth prince, they all control the forces of the two sides at this time, do not collide, and concentrate on the country.

First, after all, the brothers are surnamed Ji, this country, who really sits down in the end, no one can say now, but it cannot be denied that they can pat their chests and say that this is the ancestral family business;

The second is because Lao Tzu is still there after all, and Lao Tzu has not died for a day, so the brothers dare not abandon the overall situation under Lao Tzu's nose and pinch it up.

but

Sometimes,

Controversy, confrontation, and even the initiation of similar party disputes are inevitable.

This is not a competition for fame and fortune, but a real political disagreement.

Nanwangcheng originally belonged to Yinlang County, but now it will be restructured, with Nanwangcheng as the county seat, and Taishou will be set up to facilitate the handling of threats from the three sides of the Qianguo.

Here's the problem.

The prince means that a civilian official who was born in the army and actually took the path of a civil official, that is, another person who copied Xu Wenzu, should serve as a substitute for Xu Wenzu's original errand, and continue to cooperate with the boss to stabilize the situation over there;

And the meaning of the six princes is to let an official who is good at local governance take charge of the government, so as to restore the prosperity interrupted by the war in the south of the "small Jiangnan" of Dayan.

Both sides have also had candidates;

This is a very interesting thing, on the surface, Ji Laoliu is in charge of the household department, and now Dayan is in financial difficulty, and it seems natural to want to open up commerce and trade as much as possible;

But in fact, Zhao Jiulang knows that the prince is the conservative type, and his governance strategy and proposition should have been to stop fighting and recuperate;

And the six princes, most like His Majesty Emperor Yan, he will not be satisfied with being a shoucheng emperor, and it should be his true idea to open up to the outside world and strive to compare himself with his father in terms of merit, regardless of whether he admits it or not.

Because, no one will believe that a "young Ji Runhao" will be content with the status quo.

However, the two sides, in this candidate competition, have gone to the opposite side of each other's original policies.

There's so much to say about it.

Just like this pot of tofu,

Eat it in summer, it is easy to dry; Eating it in winter is really comfortable.

When the season is different, everything is very different.

Your Majesty is old,

Their father is old,

The crown prince wants to prove to His Majesty that although he is the king of success, he will not fall into the name of his father's pioneering!

The Sixth Prince wanted to prove to His Majesty that although he had pioneering intentions, he would not be untargeted.

Zhao Jiulang walked and walked, and suddenly stopped,

sparsely fallen,

It actually rained lightly,

The rain was mixed with a little ice crystals, and the cool air seemed to be able to penetrate into people's bones.

Zhao Jiulang smiled,

It's really in response to the old saying,

Whether it's sunny or cloudy,

It all depends on the will of heaven.

It was at this moment that

Zhao Jiulang saw Gonggong Wei who was walking here.

"Say hello to Father-in-law Wei, Father-in-law Wei is buried."

Li Yinglian hurriedly knelt down towards Wei Zhonghe.

The elderly emperor can make his courtiers tremble the most, and seeing the great eunuch who is about to go to guard the tomb can also make his colleagues frightened!

Gonggong Wei nodded to Li Yinglian, but he didn't be polite to him, but smiled at Zhao Jiulang:

"Lord Zaisuke, look at this day, how can you say that it has changed, it makes people panic."

Zhao Jiulang stood on the steps,

Shaking his head,

Road:

"Don't worry, it won't collapse."
