As soon as the palace door opened, Prime Minister Zhang Cheng got the news. The uncle of the great country and the uncle of the second country were by his side, and Prime Minister Zhang Cheng said suspiciously: "Several ministers stayed in the palace for one night, and the emperor is afraid that he has made an edict." ”

"It can only be Prince Jing, and it will not be anyone else." Uncle Big Country and Uncle Erguo are the same opinion. Prime Minister Zhang only felt that it was strange that several ministers and King Liang stayed in the palace all night, but he couldn't think of anything else, so he could only say: "That's it." From now on, be careful at all times. ”

Uncle of the great country stepped forward; "Father, when Prince Jing ascends the throne, the emperor may not weaken his relatives." Prime Minister Zhang Cheng shook his head: "With King Liang here, the emperor should entrust Gu with him, and with King Liang here, weakening relatives is also a matter of concern." ”

Zhang Cheng paced in the room, as if talking to himself and to his two sons: "In the past, Han Wu said that the mother was strong and the son was young, and the disaster of the country was also, and he forcibly gave Mrs. Gouyi, who was like a flower and jade, to death. He stroked his forehead and rambled as he walked.

Uncle Erguo wanted to say something, but was stopped by Uncle Daguo. Prime Minister Zhang Cheng thoughtfully: "In the Han Dynasty, my relatives were in charge, and the emperor didn't let me go last night, and he also had a reason." ”

Uncle Guo laughed at this time: "Father don't worry, there is still a sister in the palace, she is always your daughter." Prime Minister Zhang Cheng: "Your sister has always been a fool. She was able to get to this point because of her father's plan. ”

Thinking of Concubine An back then, as well as the more intelligent Prince Jing and Prince Ye, Prime Minister Zhang Cheng showed a slight smile, where are the ghosts and gods in this world? If so, where are they?

"In your opinion, the emperor just made an edict as simple as that?" Prime Minister Zhang suddenly asked his two sons, the big uncle was stunned, and the second uncle replied first: "What else can I do?" Uncle Dao suddenly remembered, and his expression was grim: "Tuogu King Liang, King Liang and us are far and near." ”

Prime Minister Zhang stroked his beard: "That's because he's smart." The important ministers in the court, have you seen which one of King Liang is not good, and which one is not good. He took Young Master Chu's son to drink, and asked you to hunt another day. His Royal Highness King Liang is an indispensable arm of the emperor. ”

Uncle Dao listened silently, and retreated to the side without saying a word.

"Tomorrow, let your mother go to the palace to see the queen and see if she can know about the emperor's condition." Prime Minister Zhang Cheng was a little annoyed: "The imperial doctors are all useless, and they don't know if the emperor is an old disease or a new disease?" ”

Uncle Daguo thought in his heart, what about the old disease, the new disease is also the same disease. Just thinking so, he didn't say it.

The next day, Prime Minister Zhang Cheng's wife entered the palace and came back to tell Zhang Chengxiang: "My daughter looks good, and she said that the emperor just had a recurrence of her old illness." I asked on the side, there is nothing in the palace. ”

Prime Minister Zhang smiled bitterly, this daughter is really a fool.

When the first light snow fell, it was Zhao Cunzong, the little prince of Zhongshan, who entered the palace. Walking in the corridor, thinking of the rumors that the emperor was seriously ill recently, Zhao Cunzong mentioned it carefully, and he didn't know whether it was a curse or a blessing for him to enter the palace today.

When I came in to see the emperor, he looked good, he was already thin, and it was not easy to see if he was thinner. Seeing Zhao Cunzong coming in, he was kind and pleasant: "Come here." ”

Zhao Cunzong bowed down and walked only a few steps away from the emperor, knelt down and saluted. The emperor smiled: "Pingshen, Cunzong, what have you been doing recently?" ”

"The minister was in the Xishan camp ten days ago, and the military discipline in the Xishan army was strict......." As soon as he said this, the emperor laughed again, and sounded very happy: "I ask you what kind of pastime you do at home?" It's snowing outside, do you cook tea around the fire, or go hunting? ”

Hearing this, Zhao Cunzong felt a little relieved, and seeing that the emperor's complexion was ruddy and not like a patient, Zhao Cunzong still couldn't make up his mind. There are many supplements in the palace, and it is nourishing that people can't see it, and there will be things.

Zhao Cunzong didn't want the emperor to be sick, Empress Zhang was a real virtuous person, and of course she had everything in filial piety. Asking the emperor with a smile about his usual interesting things, Zhao Cunzong suddenly gave birth to a heart of inheritance.

He replied loudly: "The minister usually reads more military books, then reads historical classics, shoots hunting in his spare time, and goes to the boring building when he drinks at the source." The emperor smiled and nodded, and then asked, "What kind of place is the boring building?" ”

"Back to the emperor, it is a restaurant, this floor is full of people, but only twenty-four tables, with the number of twenty-four bridges and bright moons, looking at the moon upstairs, looking down at the moon in the water, looking at the moon downstairs, looking up at the silver wheel in the sky." Zhao Cunzong replied, and the emperor couldn't help laughing: "Such a good place, I'm afraid that there are still singing songs and storytellers in the restaurant, which should be a place for color." Who is so interesting, and the word boring is biased. ”

Zhao Cunzong wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, and replied: "It's Huaixian, the son of Young Master Chu." The emperor laughed loudly: "I remember that he is a high school student, and the people of this high school use their talents here." As soon as he finished laughing, Zhao Cunzong replied: "His Royal Highness King Liang went in person and took the upper link, and Huaixian went to the lower link." ”

Turning the couplet back, the emperor shook his head and smiled: "It's not good, the couplet is average." "But it's still laughing when you think about it. The famous restaurant is not called Deyue but also Xiaoqing, with the word boring, and I am not afraid of having a name that likes to please the mouth, and I am reluctant to go in when I see it.

The emperor was in high spirits today, and said to Zhao Cunzong: "What kind of boring method is it, tell me about it." Zhao Cunzong saw that he liked it, and said the interesting places one by one: "It has only been open for a few months, and the interesting flowers change at any time in the four seasons." When it first opened, the wood fragrant flower shelf, fragrant ten miles, the pool is some distance from downstairs, it is good to see the moon at night, and you have to go downstairs to see the fish during the day. The owner is interesting, the water in the pond is clear every day, the fish in it are all red or colorful, and a few can be seen clearly in the palm lamp at night. ”

"This place is good," the emperor listened with great interest, Zhao Cunzong said again: "Autumn has not yet arrived, so I hurriedly replaced the red leaves everywhere, the red leaves are only three or four feet high, the wind blows, the rustle is red, and then the silver cinnamon is white, the golden cinnamon is yellow, and the osmanthus is not as red as the red leaves, so there is no osmanthus." ”

The emperor leisurely: "You will enjoy, this is winter, what is it?" Zhao Cunzong thought about it, so he didn't bring the sixteenth princess back, but just said about the delicacies: "The white plum blossoms bloom earlier than everywhere, and the guests order plum blossom soup cakes, all of which are freshly picked white plum blossoms." ”

"It's snowing here, you go early tomorrow, you can clear the snow and make tea." The emperor teased Zhao Cunzong, and Zhao Cunzong said with a smile: "Back to the emperor, the plum blossoms in the minister's house also bloomed yesterday, and the minister plans to drink this tea at home." ”

The emperor laughed: "You are also frugal. Zhao Cunzong said: "This is the teaching of the minister's father to the minister since he was a child, every branch and leaf has a place to come and go, and a soldier and a pawn are also used in useful places." ”

"Yes, King Zhongshan is a loyal minister." The emperor said this lightly, Zhao Cunzong was immediately overjoyed, and quickly knelt down to thank him: "The minister is the minister's father, thank the monarch's father." ”

The emperor smiled slightly, and Zhao Cunzong was full of joy. He has stayed in Beijing since he entered Beijing for two years and has not left, but King Zhongshan has been worried repeatedly, and he always feels that there will be changes in the court. got such a lip gloss today, Zhao Cunzong thought about sending a letter to his father when he left the palace, the emperor was in good health and could support him for several years, and he personally said that his father was a loyal minister, Zhao Cunzong had already chewed it, which was indeed a compliment.

After a while, the emperor asked with a smile: "How is it in the army?" Zhao Cunzong paused, and tried to make the pause not obvious, and immediately replied: "The officers and soldiers in the army all feel the emperor's grace and have no two hearts for our emperor. ”

The emperor smiled: "If someone has two hearts, you can take him to the Taihe Palace, where the emperor's spiritual seat is located, and shame him." After saying that, he added as if kindly: "Did you hear that?" ”

Zhao Cunzong was a little puzzled, but he immediately kowtowed and replied: "The minister has written it down." The smile on the emperor's face was still there, and this smile made his face even more ruddy, and he smiled and said, "Go back." ”

Zhao Cunzong went out, and the emperor was still thinking about this boring building and laughing. Laughing and smiling, he suddenly took the silk handkerchief on the dragon case and put it to his mouth, and this mouthful of blood was still spit out.

Looking at the light snow flying outside the window, the emperor said to himself: "I, like this snow, I'm afraid that it will melt in the next spring." ”

Zhao Cunzong, who came out, was puzzled, and he couldn't understand the emperor's words. The Taihe Hall enshrines the spiritual seats of the previous emperors, if someone has two hearts, take him there to reason? Zhao Cunzong smiled dumbly, what is the use of reasoning for people who are not half-hearted.

Until he left the palace, Zhao Cunzong didn't figure it out. The emperor is Chrysostom, Zhao Cunzong can only write down this sentence first, and go home first.

As soon as the snow covered the ground, the horse's hooves stepped on it and it was a mark. met Chu Huaixian on the road, and restrained the horse head-on: "Where is the little prince?" Zhao Cunzong remembered what he said in the palace, and said with a smile: "I came out of the palace, oh, by the way, the emperor asked me where it was interesting in Beijing, and I said that I counted and counted, and there was only a boring building." ”

Chu Huaixian was stunned: "You, make it clearer?" The eyes of the eldest prince of Chu were a little cold. Zhao Cunzong was amused when he saw it: "I didn't mention Miss Xiaochu." I heard that Miss Xiaochu has a body again? ”

This is the second person who wants the junior girl to be longer and the junior girl to be shorter after Mrs. Chu got married. Chu Huaixian is not angry, is Zheng Yi not kind? Xiao Zhao is also a person who often asks about Xiao Chu. Grand Prince Chu seemed to smile: "This is my ability." "I said I would go away on horseback.

Zhao Cunzong smiled again at his distant figure: "What is the ability to give birth to a child, what Huazi will do." "The little Zhao prince, who has three sons and one daughter, will not experience the joy of the Chu family getting Brother Yu. Xiao Zhao Wang Ye gave birth to one princess, two side concubines, and one concubine. There are already quite a few children.

The snow was long and it was two days, and Chu Huaixian didn't come back for another night. Xiao Chu was a little breathless, he didn't ask his son last time, why this time? In the cold of winter snow, the soft muscles of the fragrant arms elsewhere, or what did the in-laws give him?

When she got up in the morning and was thinking about it, Wu Sanniang came in to see her. This time Wu Sanniang caught up, recalling the last time Xiaochu was pregnant, except for a limited number of times, I never watched it again.

This time, she didn't come to inquire or care, but sat down and whispered: "The price of rice is expensive on this snowy day, and the price of the Zheng family has increased again." Then regretted: "The autumn harvest is abundant, and we have less tun." ”

The Wu family is mainly engaged in the business of silk shops, and they do not have boats themselves, so they have many retail shops. Xiao Chu smiled thoughtfully, not wanting Zheng Erguan to control the price of grain in the capital.

Zheng Erguan was thinking about the boring building, and Mrs. Chu Shao was also thinking about his business. This is pregnant and does not go out for a single step, and he is idle and has nothing to do, only thinking about Zheng Erguan.

"The business in Beijing has been cleaned up by him, and the Zheng family also collects cotton and hemp, and there are antique shops, which are everything." Wu Sanniang didn't understand what Xiao Chu frequently inquired about what the Zheng family was doing, but she also took the opportunity to sulk in her heart: "His shop has risen by a penny in coarse rice this year, and we all have to follow suit, if he says it will fall, we will also have to fall with it, such a business is always unexpected." ”

Xiao Chu was still thinking about Chu Huaixian's failure to return at night, and said with a slight smile: "If he falls, others have to fall, and if he rises, others don't rise, what can he do?" ”

"Look at what my aunt said," Wu Sanniang's tongue stuck out for a long time: "My Bodhisattva, one year the price of kapok rose, and our family did little in the kapok business, and the Sun family was a moderately rich family, and he had a lot of goods at home, so he didn't follow the rise." Do you know what happened as a result? ”

Xiao Chu became interested: "What's wrong?" ”

"Zheng Er, the old man, got a few guys from outside Beijing into Beijing, bought the Sun family's inventory for seven, seven, eight or eight, and then sold it all at a high price in the shop, which made the Sun family half angry."

Xiao Chu smiled, this is in line with Zheng Erguan's personality.
