Over the years, the atmosphere was very different. Some people have solemn faces, some people pretend not to know, no matter what,

"What do you think this looks like?"

Zhang Shaocong opened the tightly preserved wooden tablet.

Mo Chao blurted out, "Notes." Cui Liang's notebook, what will be written in it? Open it and take a look. ”

Zhang Shaocong said: "We are just here to investigate the case, and I am afraid it is inconvenient to read this notebook." ”

It's inconvenient, which means that you can only look at it when Ling Shi, Zhanggu and others are all present.

Mo Chao didn't stick to those etiquette, "The trivial things are secondary, and now they are overdue." ”

He wanted to hurry up, but he couldn't keep delaying it, and in the end it became the most unbelievable unsolved case in Daqi.

"Overdue, alas, Yang Sheren doesn't talk to us either."

Two days had passed since the date agreed with the prince, and the prince not only did not ask, but refused to review. Dali Temple does not interfere, and the Criminal Department and the Yushitai are even more incompatible.

"Dali Zheng, we haven't found out yet, there is no head and no tail, how should we explain to the saint?"

The emperor didn't ask, in fact, someone told him.

Mo Chao looked up at the roof, and then said: "The old case of Cui Liang's rebellion has been finalized, and it can't be turned out again." ”

"But it is also an indisputable fact that Guo Xian, Guo Baoyi and others framed Cui Liang."

Mo Chao sneered: "Where is it not to fight? We only imagine that Guo framed Cui Liang and King Ze, and there is no evidence that they murdered. Even if we really know what they do, what can we do, there will only be more and more people involved, and this will definitely be contrary to God's intentions. ”

The emperor wanted to find out about Li Shunde's case in order to correct discipline and clear up the scourge. And when it comes to the Queen Mother's family, that's another matter.

Zhang Shaocong nodded, "Li Shunde's death was the complicity of Dali Cheng Yebin and Dali Zheng He Jikai, and Guo Mingda's death was self-defeating." ”

Mo Chao weighed his words, "Guo Mingda's death is a well-known thing, and eight out of ten people in the city know that he was strangled and hanged. If we prevaricate that he is self-judged, then we are giving people a handle and leaving countless tongues behind. ”

Yang Su pushed the door in and said with a smile: "The two of you are fine." ”

"Yo, our big celebrity is here." Mo Chao bowed to him.

Yang Su was the first prince to wash the horse, and this time he directly crossed Dali Zheng Mo Chao.

Zhang Shaocong bowed his hand and said: "Congratulations to Yang Lang on moving the prince to wash the horse." ”

Everyone else is troubled by the overdue, but he is the only one who can stand out from so many people. jumped from a housekeeper to a prince washing horses.

Yang Su said modestly: "Don't, I can't afford this false name." ”

Mo Chao smiled: "I should thank Brother Yang Xian, if you hadn't been my guarantor, I'm afraid I would have been in prison like Ye Bin now." ”

What he said is true, it is indeed because Yang Suxin found that he was careful and recommended to Cheng Guangyun that he had the position of Dali Zheng today. Mo Chao nodded lightly at him to thank him for his kindness these days.

Yang Su said with a smile: "Mo Zhengyan is serious. ”

Mo Chao likes smart people, so he smiled and said: "Who is Brother Yang Xian, oh, I haven't asked Brother Xian's words yet, look at my incoherent words, don't laugh." ”

Zhang Shaocong saw it clearly, this Dali was trying to cling to him. Otherwise, with his family background, how could he look down on him.

Yang Su smiled gently: "My brother is from Changshan, Hebei, and his words are smooth." ”

"Foolish brother Mo Chao is from Tokyo. The current Dali Zheng. Mo Chao remembered that he hadn't said who he was, so he hurriedly said.

Zhang Shaocong also helped him add, "Mo Zhengnai is after the hussar general." ”

With Mo Chao's temperament, he will definitely mention his noble wealth.

Mo Chao smiled honestly: "That's the scene when my father was alive, don't mention it." In the end, men should fight for their own future. He also bowed to Yang Su humbly.

Yang Su smiled silently, "Brother Mo is a big family, so there is no need to salute more." ”

Zhang Shaocong said: "Brother Shunchengxian, why are you here? ”

Yang Su smiled: "If you don't say it, I forgot." Lang Jun said that it will only be finished before the Midyear Festival. ”

Beads of sweat broke out on Zhang Shaocong's forehead, "That's only now and Ming." "Not to say he's like an ant on a hot pan, that's pretty much it.

Mo Chao was also suspenseful, "Your Highness is interested?" ”

Yang Su hooked his lips and smiled, "You can be round." ”

Mo Chao smiled: "Hey, I haven't seen Pei Sheren for half a month, I heard that Sheren's brother is sick and moved to Chongdefang, otherwise I thought he would be a neighbor with me." ”

According to what he said, this Mo Chao also lives in Taipingfang, and he is still a neighbor of Pingyang County Gong, so he wants to come to the family either rich or expensive.

Yang Su smiled: "It turns out that you are a friend of Pei Sheren, and you are disrespectful. ”

Mo Chao waved his hand, "I know his eldest brother, we used to be colleagues, but Pei Yuanheng went to the secretary province, otherwise we can see each other every day." ”

In the past, Pei Ji was in the military department, and it also belonged to Shangshu Province, so it was normal to see common faces.

Zhang Shaocong said bluntly: "Thank you to the prince for washing the horse this time." ”

Yang Su said with a smile: "Princess Jinyang and the concubine will arrive in Beijing in the afternoon, and I will go to the city gate to greet them." ”

Princess Jinyang is the emperor's own sister, and her status is honorable, and even today's queen has to give three points.

Mo Chao said suddenly: "I should greet you with you." ”

"Huh?"

He explained: "Princess Jinyang descended to the metropolitan governor Han Fu, and the concubine was my childhood friend, and then he went to the place, and he didn't see him for three or five years. ”

Han Fu's ability to ascend to the place depends on his father-in-law, he is no more than a hakama, and when he arrives at the place, he pretends to be, eats and drinks together, and finds a few beauties to accompany him.

The prince ordered Yang Su to greet the princess, but he was afraid that the rudeness would cause the princess and the concubine to be dissatisfied, but he didn't expect someone to help in front of him. "Brother Mo and Dadu Governor are old acquaintances?"

Mo Chao and Han Fu are relatives and friends who are so familiar that they can't get acquainted anymore, "When I was a child, one of our husbands taught them, and my husband was also pitiful, and he taught two unsuccessful ones at once." ”

When the water in the leaky pot reached noon, Yang Su urged the two to pick up people at the city gate.

By the time they arrived at the door, a large number of officials were already in place.

Pei Xu had been waiting there for a long time, and he smiled when he saw them coming.

Mo Chao said to him: "Sheren, I haven't seen you for a long time." Mo Chao lowered his voice, but others could still hear it clearly.

This move made the officials next to him throw their sleeves and boo, and it is no wonder that outsiders are not allowed to make noise when greeting them. Even if they are familiar with the princess and the colt, they can't break the rules.

Within a few moments a large convoy of horses arrived, "Everyone, be well. "Before anyone arrives, the sound comes first.

is really worthy of being the governor of Xuzhou, and his style is far beyond others.

Yang Su stepped forward and said with a smile: "The lowly prince washes the horse Yang Su, and is ordered by the crown prince to welcome Princess Jinyang and the Grand Governor." ”

Spring flowers hit people, weeping willows greet each other. The spring scenery of the fourth year of Zhengzhang is particularly delicate, the sky is clear and clear, and the flowers and trees are washed by the new rain and reveal a faint halo.

Outside the Qirui Gate, the palace people stood in several columns, and they waited silently and lifelessly. In the distance, I saw a crowd of people coming in with a carriage. When it stopped steadily, the palace people quickly saluted and shouted in unison: "Welcome Princess Jinyang."

The female history beside the Empress Dowager greeted the princess and a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl to get out of the car. The eldest princess of Jinyang came to visit the Empress Dowager as usual, and today is also rare, and she brought her daughter with her.

Nu Shi said respectfully: "The Queen Mother ordered me to wait here to greet the princess, princess Wan'an." She turned her head to the girl next to her, "I've seen the girl." ”

The princess said softly, "No."

Nushi looked at the girl and smiled: "The girl has beautiful eyebrows and eyes, and she is a rare beauty."

The girl bowed slightly and saluted back, saying, "Female Shi Praise."

Nushi didn't expect to be treated so politely, knowing that her status was low, she didn't dare to trespass, so she hurriedly changed her words, "Please follow me to Baifu Palace." "This dynasty has strict etiquette laws, and the palace has always strictly followed the rules of the ancestors, so it is not surprising that she is so cautious.

Princess Yingying took her daughter's hand and instructed as she walked: "Yun Zhao, when you meet your grandmother, don't lose your manners and make others laugh." When you see your cousin, don't be scared to tears like you did when you were a child. The palace people around him pretended not to listen, bowing their heads and tailing.

Feng Wan frowned and defended: "He knew that I was afraid of dogs, and he deliberately led the dog to scare me, and my mother was wrong."

The princess said softly: "Your cousin is now on the throne and has become an emperor, and he must be respected in everything." When I met him, we always kept the rules, so as not to gossip and say that we had lost our identity. The princess leaned over and said softly: "At the moment, the front court is restless, and the concubines in the harem are favored, so you must be careful everywhere." She fanned her daughter, "The Queen Mother is very concerned about your life's events, I don't know which talented family is so blessed." ”

Feng Wan blushed, bowed his head and said, "Mother, don't make fun of me, everything is up to the Empress Dowager." The princess pursed her lips and smiled, leading her forward.

Walking into the Baifu Palace, Gongzheng Sun Ping led a large group of people to wait. Sun Ping served the princess in the past and was very kind to her. She was full of spring breeze and said, "The Queen Mother is talking to Concubine Wan, please ask the princess and the girl to go to the side hall to change clothes."

The princess entered the east hall, while Feng Wan was taken to the west hall. The palace ladies spread out her hair, recombed her double-ringed bun, and deliberately left a hanging bun, which was naturally the most common bun for girls. The palace maid brought the jewelry box, and Feng Wan picked a pair of emerald bead flowers, which showed a gorgeous luster on the lake blue, and it was elegant. Wearing a silk shirt and a blue embroidered skirt, it is beautiful and elegant, and it is quite charming. The old lady who accompanied her was very appreciative of her dressing up like this.

Feng Wan went out, and the princess had finished changing. Just as he was about to go in, he faced Wan Guifei and came out of it. Concubine Wan saluted slightly, and said lightly: "The eldest princess is blessed." Without waiting for Feng Wan to greet him, he left. The princess laughed and said nothing.

The hall of blessings is unique in the dim, the light is not clear, it seems to be covered with a heavy fog of distant mountains, faint and not dispersed. Although the Empress Dowager is ill, she has not been infected with illness here. On the contrary, the flowers are delicate, the sandalwood is endless, and the unique charm is unique.

The Empress Dowager sat on the couch, her face and body were eroded by perennial illness, her thin body was extremely weak, and she couldn't get up from the costumes. She has the turbidity of an old man, but she retains the majesty of the queen. I can't tell it, I don't know the way, it seems to be born with it. That kind of majesty has not diminished with the aging of the Empress Dowager, and it is hidden in her eyes.

When Feng Wan saw his grandmother, the tears in his eyes condensed on his eyelashes, and he had to swallow his sorrow.

The princess stepped forward to take the medicine bowl in the old maid's hand, and pleaded: "My daughter is not filial, and Lao Rongniang is serving."

The Empress Dowager said lovingly: "In addition to Rong Niang, that is, you are the most comfortable to serve the mourning family." She turned to Feng Guan again and said kindly: "This child is becoming more and more beautiful, and he is different in terms of charm." She stretched out her hand, "Come, let my grandmother see." ”

Feng Wan walked over dignifiedly, and she stared at her grandmother carefully. The Empress Dowager's face when she was young can still be traced, and her face is only carved by age. She is like a mother. Feng Wan could imagine her abundance back then: slender figure, beautiful appearance, holding a rhombus fan, waiting for Gaozu by the Luoshui River. It seems that she can still be seen waiting for her pillow person in the Penglai Palace. But that was all in the past, and her husband and son went into the underworld, and after several springs and autumns, they gradually drifted away from them. She can only drag her aging body to continue to live under the care of the imperial doctor.

She is willing to use her hands to wipe away the scars of time on her face, hoping to restore the charm of the past. See the young and beautiful Qianying who dominates the harem. Although the gods did not give her that ability, beauty never fades. He writes a history of the day, and will definitely leave a beautiful trace for his grandmother.

"Somehow, I saw her grandfather." The Empress Dowager suddenly laughed. "Among the children and grandchildren, the emperor can see his grandfather's appearance, and in my opinion, this child is deeply blessed." In the past, her grandmother never mentioned it, and everyone said that she was very much like her mother.

"The queen mother is serious." The princess said.

Feng Wan immediately replied: "What the Empress Dowager said, Yun Zhao can't afford it." She saw that the Queen Mother's eyes were not cloudy, but clear, and she didn't dare to meet those eyes. In the past, Zhang Jieyu and Concubine Li Defei were the crowns of the harem, and their power was even greater than that of the empress dowager, who was still the queen. But when it comes to resourcefulness, the Empress Dowager is far above them. Perhaps because of this, the Empress Dowager has been favored for decades. There were countless swords and intrigues behind her, and there was always a trace of coldness in her eyes that was difficult to catch, like a dull blade, but still sharp.

Luckily, the blade of the knife wasn't facing her. My grandmother was loving, and she always believed in it. Because in the past, her gentle grandmother had always been her support when she was young.

The Empress Dowager drank medicine and wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief. Asked, "How old are you this year?"

"Fifteen."

The Empress Dowager smiled: "It's the best time." She said to the princess: "The more I look at this child's mourning family, the more I like it, it is better to stay in the palace for a few days, so that I can accompany the mourning family."

Feng Guan recalled the time when he accompanied his grandmother when he was young, and he felt sad that he hadn't seen him for four years. This time, she has made up her mind to settle in Chang'an to repay her grandmother's kindness.

The Empress Dowager smiled from ear to ear, "Okay, good, good, let your mother and daughter live together." "Call Rong Niang," clean up the Qingxi Palace. ”

Feng Wan and the princess said goodbye to the empress dowager and went to the Taiye Pool, but they didn't expect that halfway through, Concubine Liu Xian invited the princess to her Lingyun Palace. She had no choice but to take the maid to enjoy the scenery.
