At four moments, the belly of the fish on the horizon has not yet risen.

And the Liangyi Hall has long been brightly lit.

Cui Changzhi shouted - Linchao!

The six doors of the two ceremonial halls were opened, and the hundred officials entered in turn.

I stood in the emperor's guard of honor, straightened my official hat again, and took off my official uniform.

Ordered to enter.

The eight palace maids at the front of the line carried the eight-treasure incense burner and set off to open the way.

followed by the emperor wearing a crown and a dragon robe.

Followed by two attendants holding dragon robes and tailing.

After that, it should have been a female scholar, but since this position is vacant, at this moment it is the deputy little scholar, me.

At the end of the guard of honor are six palace maids, holding six peacock feathers and five fans.

The throne platform in front of is magnificent and solemn, the person holding the incense burner is around the circle under the stage, the emperor takes the stage and sits, only to see the thirteen dragons carved in copper and gold on the dragon chair, flying up and down.

Cui Chang stood on the right side of the emperor, and I stood behind him on the right.

The other two attendants, one on the left and one on the right, stood on either side of the throne.

After the emperor sat down, the six Wuming fans were raised directly in front of the dragon chair, and the palace ladies held the fans behind the throne platform.

Hundreds of officials began to see Long Yan.

I stand upright in this highest place, and I am self-denying.

The hundred officials in front of him, left and right.

It was also the first time I saw Zuo Xiang in the court. As a lieutenant, he is ranked first on the left. followed by Shang Shuling and Zhongshu Shilang.

The military attache on the right is one of the three princes.

The emperor once again commended the new lieutenant.

He was originally a general of Sanpin Anxi, and just twenty days ago, he had just completely repelled the Great Li Kingdom that had invaded our Southern Zhou Dynasty, and had swept away the scattered and brave Japanese invaders on the northwest border.

Now he is recalled to Beijing, appointed a military position, with a gold seal and purple ribbon, and given a mansion compound.

The emperor said that the general was already fifty-three, and he could not bear to leave the general in the northwest in a barren and desolate place. Moreover, Anbei, Annan, and Anxi, the government of the three protectorates was initially established, and it was even more necessary for the general to return to Beijing at this time to take charge of the national military. In terms of merit and virtue, only a general can take on this great responsibility.

I listened silently, listened clearly, and felt that I was not confused. In the past, it was said in history classes that in many dynasties, the position of Taiwei was high and his power was weak.

There is no war on weekdays, and this senior officer is nothing more than a military staff officer and military adviser by the emperor's side.

If there is a war, once the army is to be used, the emperor has half of the tiger talisman, and the general outside has the other half of the tiger talisman, and the two tiger talismans can only be mobilized if they are united.

In many cases, this rank is just a plus, an honor added to the original position.

Fortunately, at present, some prefectures and counties in China still retain the "government military system", and there are still six folding mansions. In this way, there is still some difficulty in what can be done.

I pursed my lips, not daring to laugh.

Listening to a hundred kinds of political affairs, the victims in the north have been properly settled, and the female bandit leader who took the opportunity to make trouble has fled to Cloud City in the far north, and so on. A discussion began until five o'clock in the morning.

He stood unmoved for more than an hour, and dispersed towards the meeting.

It's also a time to test your endurance.

When he exited the Liangyi Palace, he heard Cui Changzhi and the emperor talking in a whisper in front of him.

Cui Changshou pressed his waist very low, as soft and obedient as a whisk on his arm: "Sage, that water monkey, you have indulged in so many years, and now you are hurting people again, you see?" ”

I tightened my palms and grabbed my robe.

The emperor rubbed his fingers and said dissatisfiedly: "What about it?" Bao Naxiao's people are still there, slaughtering her monkeys, making a big fuss again, and saying some crazy words. Can I still save my face? ”

Cui Changshou said eagerly: "This queen mother is outside the palace, where can she manage so much." Why don't you ......."

The old man's eyes moved, and he squinted over: "You are all scattered." ”

I had to step down, I don't know what bad ideas this old guy had for the emperor.

I took three steps and made two steps back to the room, and changed a handwritten letter, which I handed over to the little messenger of Nian Yi'an. In this case, Mo said that the life of the water monkey was hanging, but I was afraid that Xiao Niangniang was also in danger.

The first thing I thought of was to ask Nian Yi'an to go to Pingyun Nunnery on the outskirts of Beijing and inform the Queen Mother.

If you say why you have to protect Xiao Niangniang.

I think that in my consciousness, the time I lived with Xiao Niangniang can be described as the pure land of my life.

In September of the old year, there was no trouble.

Sure enough, early the next morning, the Queen Mother took a simple carriage and returned to the palace.

I was surprised by how fast it was.

The palace exploded when he heard the news!

All the concubines and female officials in the entire harem went to Xuanwu Gate to greet the Queen Mother as soon as possible. I watched in the queue and saw that the old queen mother was over the age of six, and her crane hair was hidden in the monk's hat, and she had not been shaved. The gray sea is very light.

I saw her holding the Bodhi Buddha beads in her hand, and she was helped out of the car by the emperor himself. The spirit is especially good, the waist is straight, and there is no old dragon clock.

The emperor played the role of obedience: "Why didn't the mother inform the child, the child should go to pick up the mother and return to the palace in person." ”

The Queen Mother's expression was faint: "Why do you need those false courtesies, I have been restless recently, and with the guidance of the Buddha and Bodhisattva, the old body plans to come back and live for some time." ”

Concubine Shu and Concubine De immediately rushed over, and after the big ceremony, they coveted the Queen Mother and made love. Zhou Guifei and Wu Zhaorong had an ordinary posture, silently followed behind, and surrounded the Queen Mother and moved to Jiashou Palace.

The Queen Mother left the palace for five years, and the Jiashou Hall remained as it was for five years. This suddenly returned to the palace, and the palace bureau immediately transferred the palace people who had served in the Jiashou Palace to go back, although not all, there is also a count, so that the queen mother can drive it conveniently.

The next day, I learned that the Queen Mother sent a lot of people to wear them to several concubines, including Xiao Niangniang. In the end, it can be regarded as announcing his attitude to the emperor.

I listened to it and my heart was happy. I couldn't help humming a little tune in my mouth~, and went to the study to pay off.

When I arrived at the imperial study, I saw the princess of the north and the county lord of Kaikai coming.

I silently went to my desk and listened to their conversation as I sorted out my paperwork.

Originally, I never liked to listen to what other people said, but now it is also a change in the environment......

Concubine Shuniang cared for Kaikai to peel the dried fruits: "I heard that this girl likes to eat these nuts the most, come, Shuniang will shell for you." ”

While coaxing the county lord, he chatted with the princess about the parents. I didn't hear that he was ugly for a long time.

talked about Kaikai's marriage again.

The princess said in a tone of disappointment: "In a few days, it will be sixteen." The concubine and the prince passed the qi'er, and it was time to put it on the agenda. ”

The emperor glanced at me intentionally or unintentionally, his eyes were sly, and he said to the princess: "It is reported that the third son of the Lanqiang Wang Nian's family has not yet married. The status of this family, the appearance of character, I think it can be compared with Kaikai. ”

Ah......h

My heart was immediately pimple, and it was frustrated.

Kai Kai took over and said: "I remember that brother, we met three years ago when we went hunting together in Lingzhou, he was very righteous and brave. ”

Then her eyes flickered: "However, Kaikai doesn't know what the relationship between this man and woman feels like, and if A-Niang doesn't mention it, how can she not remember it." ”

The princess patted her on the head: "It's nonsense, if the saint is married to you, you dare to talk about your personal affairs together." ”

A slap knocked out her eldest lady's temper, and the dried fruit fell to the ground and pouted.

The princess wanted to get up and teach a lesson, but Concubine Shu hurriedly stopped her, took Kaikai to her side and sat down, patted the back of her hand and comforted her.

immediately persuaded: "What does the child know, why should the princess be angry." ”

Then said jokingly: "I heard that there are a lot of tutors in the Nian family, and there are rules and regulations. Our Kaikai is practicing riding and archery in the north, and he is used to being free. I was restrained all of a sudden, but I was afraid that I would not be able to adapt to it. You might as well consider the military family, here in this palace, there is also a candidate.

Concubine Shuniang glanced at the emperor, and when she saw that there was no opposition, she continued: "Lord Taiwei, who has just returned to Beijing, has a grandson under his knees, who is just seventeen years old. Hearty personality and tolerant heart. The most important thing is that the door is still secondary, the key Taiwei Mansion is in the capital, and it will not be convenient for our mother to visit Kaikai in the future. ”

The princess's face was a little happy. looked at the emperor and the concubine, as if they were weighing the candidates given by the two.

After chatting a few more words, the princess said that she would discuss with the prince first when she returned to the house, and then reply.

He saluted and retreated.

The two of them did not disperse, and continued to discuss something in a whisper.

After about a stick of incense, I suddenly heard the sound of a child crying outside the hall.

Then Cui Changshou came in with the child in his arms.

Just one glance, the straight man is dumbfounded!

Isn't this the little son of the royal family in the north?

The child was crying heartbreakingly, and big snot bubbles were blowing all over his face.

Concubine Shu hurriedly took the child, coaxed her, and held the child's head with her palm, which was quite gentle and loving.

Then he asked the emperor to say: "Then the concubine will take this child back to the palace!" These days must be taken care of. ”

The emperor nodded seriously, looking extremely trusting of Concubine Shu: "Concubine Ai will go back first, it is so hard, I will accompany you more." ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, full of affection.

It was the first time that I saw the part of my true feelings in the eyes of the emperor.

……

I stared at Concubine Shu's back in a daze, and the little son, I don't know if he was far away or coaxed, and the cry was no longer audible.

The emperor was very relaxed, approached the desk leisurely, and said to me with a smile: "What are you stunned about? But I want to know, how did you keep this child? ”

I snorted and sighed: "The sage Tuo Lu Chang ordered me to get the handwriting of the princess of the northern realm, it turned out to be the ...... for this."

He laughed: "Yes! ”

He clenched his fists, leaned against the desk, stretched his shoulders, exhaled, and said disdainfully: "First branch Li Can, and then pass the princess and the county lord into the palace to discuss the matter of marriage." Then he sent a fake handwritten letter with the princess's handwriting to the palace, saying that the queen mother wanted to take a look at this nephew, and ordered the nurse to carry her into the palace, and it became a child~"

I was a little disdainful: "Then the person in charge of the extension is really talented and unpretentious." ”

The emperor turned around, looked at my face and said, "The people around me are becoming more and more powerful!" The first thing I said when I recalled the Yushe people that day was to call Er a small hero. But forgot? ”

He put his fingers on my chin: "You have to listen carefully to what I say." ”

I moved my head out of his hand.

He was not angry, grinned evilly, lifted the hem and sat down, and began to flip through the folds.

I was studying Zhu Mo to calm my heart.

I thought that the emperor had stabilized, but he suddenly raised his head and asked me a little nervously: "You say, why did the Queen Mother come back suddenly and give me such a good opportunity?" ”

A few cells bounced around my face.

But her tone was as light as a feather: "The Queen Mother has already said no, there is a Buddha and Bodhisattva guidance." ”
