"Your Majesty, it's late at night, and I'll go to the morning court tomorrow, so let's go back and rest early." The father-in-law glanced up at the sky and reminded him.

"What time is it?" The emperor withdrew from his thoughts, and when he looked up, he realized that it was already late at night.

"It's almost time." After the father-in-law finished speaking, he remembered something and spoke again, "The congratulatory gifts that the emperor ordered to send today have all been sent, and Dr. Chang thanked the emperor, and Lord An and Mrs. An were also present. ”

"Really?" Thinking of Huangfu Xue, the emperor's eyes were full of loss and pity. If she hadn't gotten married, if they had met earlier, wouldn't the outcome be different now? It's a pity that there are no ifs in this world, there are only results.

I heard that the woman who married Dr. Chang is still her personal maidservant, and with a master like her who is transparent and different from ordinary people, this maid will never disappoint anyone. I heard that this woman almost lost her life to save Dr. Chang, a person who can even ignore his life for the sake of the other party, what kind of ease and affection should he have?

thinks of his harem beauties three thousand, what kind of beauty does he want, but none of them can treat him like this, and none of them make him have that feeling of never forgetting and pounding. It seems that the queen mother is right, don't think that he is the emperor, he wants the wind to be windy, to be rainy, but in the end he may not be happier than ordinary people.

An Daren is not only a good official, but also a rare good man, she married him, and she will definitely live a very happy life in this life......

"Your Majesty, it's already time......" The father-in-law saw that the emperor was deep in thought again, and couldn't help but remind him, and the emperor came back to his senses and waved his hand and turned around and went to the dormitory. The bath water in the front hall was ready, and the father-in-law stepped forward with a tray, "The emperor wants to summon that lady today?" ”

The emperor turned his head to look at the traycard in his father-in-law's hand, and suddenly became irritable, turned his head to look to the side and waved his hand casually, "No need, I want to be clean and clean tonight." ”

When the father-in-law heard this, he seemed to have expected it to be like this, and turned around and handed the thing to Xiao Zhongzi. After waiting for the emperor to rest, the father-in-law walked out of the palace. Xiao Zhongzi has been guarding outside, and when he saw the master coming out, he hurriedly stepped forward, "Master, the emperor hasn't been to the harem for a long time, and he doesn't turn over any of the mother's signs at night, the emperor is ...... Tired of? ”

"Don't talk nonsense, how can the emperor's mind be guessed by the miscellaneous family and you, what the master does, let's listen to it as slaves. Okay, tonight is your vigil, wait carefully, be smart, don't lose the face of the miscellaneous family. "Xiao Zhongzi is one of the most proud apprentices of Gonggong Li, and he is still very relieved about him doing things, but the emperor's mood today is a little wrong, and he is a little uneasy in his heart, so he specially told him two sentences.

Xiao Zhongzi was clever, and after a little thought, he heard the meaning of his master's words. After sending off Gonggong Li, he deliberately explained two sentences and went to the inner hall. As the night darkens, the cool breeze of autumn blows through, and the howling cold wind highlights the charm of autumn......

The emperor did not go to the harem for a long time, and gradually the news spread far and wide, and the old party faction heard about it and began to discuss privately how to use this opportunity to install their informant around the emperor.

"Lord, the draft year is only a few months away, if we can persuade the emperor to advance next year's draft, then ......" Liu saw Lan Tingyu, saw that King Hong suddenly walked around with the Lan family, and took the little granddaughter of the Lan family to the palace, and after a little thought, he understood what he was thinking. After hearing those rumors in the palace, Liu came to the palace after thinking about it.

His mind was exposed, King Hong did not have a trace of displeasure, and after thinking about it carefully, he put down the teacup, "Has Lord Liu figured out how to mention this matter to the emperor?" ”

"The lower official has already written a recital, and after waiting for the prince to agree, the court will hand over this proposal tomorrow morning." After Liu finished speaking, he took out the written fold and handed it over. King Hong took a quick look and then smiled, "Yes, tomorrow I will do what Lord Liu wants." ”

"Yes." On the second day, Liu Department really handed over the previously written fold, and in the imperial study, the emperor subconsciously threw it aside after seeing Liu's fold, and took it back after a while, and Gonggong Li stood aside, seeing this, his expression changed slightly.

"Draft early and enrich the harem?" The emperor muttered, "Little Lizi, what do you think Lord Liu's intention is?" ”

"Slaves don't dare to speculate at will." Gonggong Li didn't understand the meaning of the emperor's words, and smiled sloppily. The emperor looked up at him and snorted coldly, "I let you say what you think." ”

"Yes." Gonggong Li glanced at the fold again and said in a low voice, "Lord Liu's move is afraid that he has heard the recent rumors in the palace, and this twist and turn may just be to do what he likes." ”

"Rumors? What rumors have been circulating in the palace lately? The emperor looked puzzled. Gonggong Li smiled bitterly, knowing that the emperor hates these gossips the most, and now Lord Liu is still coming out like this, if the emperor is happy to hear it, it's okay, if he gets angry after listening to it, won't he become Lord Liu's shield? But now that the emperor is watching, he can't help him even if he doesn't want to say it. After thinking about it, he spoke, "The emperor hasn't been to the harem for a long time, and he doesn't turn over any of the Niangniang's signs, and after a long time, some rumors have risen......"

"I see." The emperor smiled unhappily, and put down the fold with a snap, "It seems that they are really idle enough, in this case, they want to find something for themselves, then I will follow their thoughts." There's only a few months left until next year's draft, so it doesn't matter if it's early or late. ”

Gonggong Li was relieved when he saw that the emperor was not angry this time, and he quickly muttered in his heart. At this time, I heard the emperor speak, "The drought in the northwest is serious, and I originally wanted to find someone to go over." Now that Master Liu has been very free recently, it is better to let him go. Gonggong Li felt strange just now, but now that he heard the emperor's words, the corners of his mouth twitched and twitched, and he said that with the emperor's temperament, he would never let go of those who chewed his tongue so easily, and now it is really the case.

The drought in the northwest is getting worse and worse, and with winter approaching, if the disaster is not resolved before the onset of winter, the border will not be stable this winter. However, if you want to provide disaster relief, it is impossible to fundamentally solve the problem by relying only on the food and money provided by the imperial court. How to do it depends on Lord Liu's creation.

Who made him too idle? Gonggong Li was a little sympathetic to Lord Liu, and a little gloating. However, as soon as the news of the draft was released, the whole capital became lively, and they were busy with the draft, who could care what Lord Liu thought. When King Hong heard the news, he was half happy and angry.

"Lord Wang, the situation in the northwest is getting more and more serious, Xia Guan is just a civil official, if he goes to the northwest, let alone disaster relief, I am afraid that it will be difficult to save his own life. The prince will look at the saddle of the lower official for the sake of the prince, and help the lower official think of a way. "Liu didn't expect the emperor to do this, this time he really lifted a stone and shot himself in the foot.

The northwest was originally a fierce place, but now the disaster is serious, and the gangsters are rampant, and ordinary civil officials can't suppress them at all in the past, and even have to worry about their lives. Lord Liu had heard about the Northwest for a long time, and he had always thought that this matter would not fall into their old party anyway, who knew that because of the draft, the emperor hated him, and even sent him to the ......

Liu is a poor show to speak out, because of his refuge in King Hong, coupled with his own hard work and intelligence, he really doesn't want to lose his life because of this matter. It's just that...... The emperor's order is difficult, and now that the holy decree has been issued, no matter how unwilling he is, he doesn't dare to run to talk to the emperor about things that he can't do, so he came to King Hong after thinking about it.

When King Hong heard this, he raised his head and glanced at Liu Department, "This king remembers that Lord Liu personally said when he took refuge in this king, in order to help this king complete the great cause, there will be no half-step retreat when he goes to the knife mountain and goes down to the oil pot." Why, now it's just a small disaster relief, and you don't know what to do? ”

"Xia Guan didn't mean this, Xia Guan just felt ......" Liu knew that King Hong was unhappy and wanted to justify, but King Hong didn't want to listen anymore, so he got up and stood in front of the bed with his back to him, "Okay, this king doesn't need to listen to your explanation, what this king wants is the result, what he wants is your attitude." Besides, this time the will is made by the emperor himself, why the emperor suddenly made such a decision, you should know better than this website. You said that at this time, if this king pleaded for you in the past, wouldn't this king not confess himself? ”

Liu Ji thought that he was very busy, and raised his head suddenly, with a hindsight on his face, and an uneasiness that was still afraid, "Xia Guan didn't mean it, Xia Guan was just too anxious and negligent for a while...... Please also ask the prince to atone for his sins. ”

"This king can naturally spare your ignorance and recklessness, but Lord Liu, not every recklessness and ignorance can be so lucky, okay, the hour is not early, you better go back and pack your things quickly." King Hong turned around and went to the courtyard, and Liu Xie wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and left the palace.

Since the imperial court released the news of the early draft, King Hong and Huangfu Zhengxiong have been busy, King Hong first wrote to Lan Fu to say his purpose, and after getting the reply of Lan Mansion, he found Mama to teach Lan Tingyu etiquette and some palace rules, Lan Tingyu saw that the prince was so good to her, and he was very grateful, and he studied harder and harder on weekdays.

King Hong heard that this would be more and more satisfied with her, and thought to himself, if Lan Tingyu was selected, and even won the emperor's favor, it would be beneficial to his great cause, but what kind of beauty the emperor liked, although Lan Tingyu was beautiful and had a pleasing temperament, it was not necessarily what the emperor liked.

King Hong thought about it for a long time, this day in the dynasty, sitting in the imperial garden is nominally enjoying the coolness, but in fact he is waiting for Xiao Zhongzi. Half an hour later, the guards came to the imperial garden with Xiao Zhongzi.

"I don't know what the prince is doing to find a minion?" Xiao Zhongzi stepped forward respectfully and saluted. King Hong glanced up at him when he heard the voice, and slowly spoke while playing with the teacup, "Xiao Zhongzi, you and your master are the two most trusted by the emperor. You should be very clear about the emperor's preferences. ”
