Chapter 114: The Great Meeting

At dawn, the candles in the dormitory of Xirui Palace were already bright, Jiakangdi was dressed properly under Jiang Ronghua's clothes, slightly closed his eyes and seized the time to make up for sleep, the days were short in winter, and the nights were long, and now it was the time to sleep comfortably, but he just wanted to get up and prepare to go to court, so he simply stayed up for a few more days and sealed.

Jiang Ronghua looked at the tiredness between Jiakangdi's eyebrows, stretched out his hand and slowly rubbed it, Jiakangdi's sleepiness had to dissipate because of the kneading of these hands.

"It's still early, you can rest again."

Jia Kangdi opened his eyes and looked at the green shadow under Jiang Ronghua's eyes, and said with a little distress.

Since the queen was pregnant, the two of them tacitly agreed not to mention it, but they always felt that something had changed, Jiakangdi slept very deeply, even so, he still found that the people around him tossed and turned when he was half asleep and half awake for countless times, and sometimes even got up in the middle of the night.

Emperor Jiakang is well versed in the way of the emperor, and has been fighting with those old foxes in the court for so many years, and most of them are ways to pretend to be deaf and dumb, even if he knows Jiang Ronghua's inner anxiety these days, Emperor Jiakang also pretends not to know, only watching Jiang Ronghua become more and more haggard, and now he has to be distressed and considerate.

Jiang Ronghua looked at Emperor Jiakang, who already had gorgeous hair on his sideburns, and realized that this man who had been with him for so many years was no longer young, and he could no longer be as fierce as he was back then, and dared to fight the whole world as an enemy to support himself for the throne.

"The emperor worries about state affairs every day, and the concubines can't help much, so it's right to do some things, how can you be sleepy."

Whenever Jiang Ronghua brought out the emperor's concubines, Emperor Jiakang always had to soften his attitude, but this time he didn't wait for Emperor Jiakang's response, Jiang Ronghua's eyes lowered and paused on Emperor Jiakang's golden silk jade belt, and said quite relaxedly.

"A few days ago, I heard that Concubine De and they went to ask the empress for peace, although they only bowed outside the Fengwu Palace from a distance and left, how to say that they also did their best, the concubine is the head of the concubines, and the empress concubine has always been friendly, and it is about to be sealed, and the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet should also be sealed by the empress, and the concubines can be busy today."

Jiang Ronghua was talking about trivial matters in the palace, Emperor Jiakang closed his eyes again, and after a while he heard Li Zhong's knock on the door, one long and two short, which was to remind himself that the hour was coming.

"The empress is really reluctant to manage the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet now, and all the affairs of the harem are arranged by you, Shu is very relieved, as for the use of seals, Shu will arrange it." You have a good rest, don't run out on this cold day, lest you suffer from the wind and cold, and I will have to coax you to take medicine again. Okay, it's time for me to go to the court, the last court before the seal, and if I'm late, I have to listen to the long-winded ...... of the imperial history of the Imperial History Terrace."

Jia Kangdi stretched out his hand and pulled a strand of long hair on Jiang Ronghua's chest and swung it behind his shoulders, his fingers only paused when they slid down to the tips of the long hair, and then pulled away, the ends of the hair were a little frizzy and prickly, and sure enough, no one could stop what the years were going to take away.

Jiakangdi twisted his fingers, recalling the scene when he first saw Jiang Ronghua in Xishan, a hurried glance in the forest, and his frightened eyes were as bright as the clear spring on the top of the mountain.

Today's court meeting, Emperor Jiakang's state is not right, and the courtiers below also tacitly agree that there is no big deal, and they said a few things scattered, and they all hung their heads and looked forward to Emperor Jiakangdi saying that he would retire from the dynasty, so he would go home comfortably and sleep back.

Liu Shoufu looked at the crowd below, and then raised his eyes to look at Emperor Jiakang, who was still in the void, and coughed heavily.

Jia Kangdi came back to his senses and looked at Liu Shoufu, who stood up with the table, and his instinctive face darkened.

This old thing just refuses to let himself have a good New Year, which year can this old thing not stand up and speak before the seal!

It is not only Jiakangdi who has this feeling, but also the people below, etc., who are all wailing in their hearts, and it is absolutely not good for Liu Shoufu to stand up.

"Your Majesty, the old minister has a ...... of enlightenment"

"Liu Aiqing said it directly."

Jia Kangdi listened to Liu Shoufu's prolonged voice, and felt uncomfortable anywhere, so he hurriedly interrupted.

Liu Shoufu didn't feel embarrassed when he was interrupted, slowly withdrew his hand and glanced at King Huai, who was yawning again and again, and continued to say in a long voice.

"The minister is here today to seek justice for Lord Zhang."

As soon as they heard the words "Lord Zhang", everyone's drowsiness flew in an instant, and they sat straight and looked at King Huai one by one.

“......”

Queen Huai realized that the atmosphere was not quite right, and the forty-fifth yawn froze halfway, raised her eyes and swept around to find that everyone was looking at her, and the oil on her face instantly dimmed......

Sure enough, Liu Shoufu began to elongate the voice to control and sue the Huai Wangfu to use insidious and cunning means to repent of the marriage, and injured Lord Zhang for no reason, not only did he come to apologize afterwards, but even spread rumors everywhere to slander the reputation of the Zhang family's girl, causing the Zhang family to be humiliated.

Lala said a lot of miscellaneous things, and Liu Shoufu handed over Master Zhang's recital.

Jia Kangdi took the piece and did not open it immediately, but looked at Liu Shoufu suspiciously.

"Isn't Zhang Aiqing's hand broken, how can he still write a concerto? Isn't it Liu Aiqing's ghostwriter? ”

Liu Shoufu choked for a moment, and the dignified Shoufu wrote a mere five-grade petty official ghostwriting, which spread out where to put his old face.

"Ahem-Your Majesty is serious, Master Zhang is holding a piece written with his left hand, although the handwriting is not very beautiful, but it should be seen clearly."

The recital was sent by the little guy in Zhang's house this morning, and the words were also relayed by the little guy, Liu Shoufu naturally wouldn't be idle on the way to take a look at Lord Zhang's recital, and it was better to hurry up and make up for sleep if there was that time.

So after Jia Kangdi opened the concert in disbelief, everyone sitting below found that Jia Kangdi's face lit up, Liu Shoufu looked at Jia Kangdi who was full of red light, and suddenly covered his lips and began to cough, his heart trembled, is this angry or laughing?

The more Jia Kangdi tried to endure the cough, the more he couldn't bear it, but the cough became more and more intense, and finally he couldn't hold the piece steadily.

Seeing this, Li Zhong hurriedly handed over the tea, and just bent down to pick up the fallen piece of music, but was trampled by the excited Jia Kangdi.

Li Zhong stood up straight silently and stepped aside, and Jia Kangdi personally bent down to pick up the green leather piece and knocked on the edge of the table.

"Liu Shoufu, I know what Zhang Aiqing wants to say, but you want to seek justice for Zhang Aiqing? This Zhang Aiqing didn't explain it in the recital. ”

Liu Shoufu suspiciously withdrew his gaze from the piece, turned his head to look at King Huai, who was not afraid of boiling water with a dead pig face, and flicked his sleeves and said loudly.

"Now the reputation of the daughter of the Zhang family is damaged, how can she still get married, she has been making trouble at home several times, and once she hanged herself and fell from the chair and pressed the hand of Lord Zhang, so the tragic situation is caused by the lack of a way for King Huai to teach his son. But the old minister thought that it was better to settle the grievance, and after discussing it with Master Zhang, he felt that it was ...... It's better for this marriage to be business as usual. ”

When the words fell, everyone turned their heads and ears, and they really didn't understand how everything was business as usual when it got to this point, and King Huai's expression was also very wonderful.
