In the spring court, the young leaves sway, first dotted with scattered pink flowers, and then one morning when I opened the window, I saw a full bloom of flowers.

Wu Zheng and the two adults walked during the walk, and they had no interest in enjoying the spring scenery.

They had seen the most beautiful time of the court, and now the court was like a garden that had suffered from disaster, and it was barren even if it was full of flowers.

"The flowers and trees have been repaired by craftsmen."

"The carved ornaments are also being reorganized."

"It's all made according to the old warehouse maps."

"How about you take a look, adults?"

The accompanying officials were noisy in their ears, and the two adults finally couldn't bear their temper and stopped.

"How do we know what's going on?" They said, "We were in the court, and we didn't go to the garden every day. ”

The accompanying official smiled: "I've always shopped, it's better than what we haven't seen." ”

That's right, Wu Zheng and the two adults looked at these accompanying officials, all of whom were countrymen from Huainan Province, and some of them didn't know what they were doing, and they were said to be officials who spent money to buy.

"I mean, there's a lot going on right now." Lord Zheng said, "It's not too late for His Majesty to come back about the affairs of the palace garden, so don't worry about these for now." ”

Lord Wu nodded: "Yes, Your Majesty's garden will still be decided when Your Majesty comes back." ”

The officials glanced at each other and said, "In this way, we are too worried, we originally wanted Your Majesty to leave the palace when he was young, and this time he will come back and see the old scene.....

It is worthy of being an official who spends money to buy, and he is really very good at pleasing the emperor, Wu Zheng and the two adults are a little speechless, can they say that the emperor doesn't care about this? The emperor cries in the capital every day in Linzhou, missing the first emperor and missing the past....

"Of course that's a very good idea." Lord Wu looked at the empty sleeve and sighed lightly, "But these are all small things, the most important thing is that the capital should settle down quickly, no matter what the capital becomes, it will be a home for Your Majesty." ”

The officials nodded one after another, "Don't worry, my lord, Madame is watching it personally." "Don't worry, my lord, there is a lady here."

Yes, it was because of the presence of the lady that the two of them were rushed to see what garden was built.

The Mrs. Chu who thought she was seriously injured and was going to die, Mrs. Chu who had not visited once since they entered Beijing, came out to meet people after Wu Ya'er left, after they straightened out the affairs of the officials and yamen in the capital.

"The two adults have worked hard." She came to the yamen, wrapped in a thick cloak to cover her body, followed by a strong guard with a black umbrella like a knife, "How can these trivial things be done by the two adults, it should be my responsibility." ”

The room full of officials was as well-behaved as chickens, silent as stones, and none of them stood up to speak for them and argue with Mrs. Chu Guo, including those officials who had taken refuge in them before, and at this time they all seemed to be unable to see them.

"The two adults have more important things to do."

As soon as Mrs. Chu gave the order, the two of them were driven out of the yamen to supervise the construction of the palace.

Of course, they also protested, what is a big deal for the capital? Of course, the emperor returned to Beijing, of course, the capital was stable, the repair of the palace was a trivial matter, and the emperor was not the kind of person who coveted enjoyment.

"What kind of life Your Majesty is living in Linzhou, I have already said."

The Lu Palace in Linzhou is not as good as a mansion in the capital, and there is no luxurious garden.

The emperor only ate two meals a day in the palace of Linzhou, and the queens, concubines, princesses, and princes all worked with their own hands every day to support themselves.

The emperor is a very hard-working person, who worries about the world and suffers with all the people.

It is not important to repair the imperial palace at all, the stability of the capital is the most important thing.

"So what do you do?" Mrs. Chu asked them, "Can you kill people with knives, or can you investigate and arrest the rebels?" ”

That's not the case! The two adults wanted to argue, but Mrs. Chu Guo waved her hand and didn't give them a chance.

"This is the most important thing to do when the capital is stable in the world, and these things don't need to be done by adults, they are done by me."

"After we have done these things, it will be up to the adults to work hard, and as for His Majesty's food, clothing, housing and transportation, it is not a trivial matter."

"In Linzhou, it is to share the worries and sufferings with the world, but it is different when you enter the capital, the capital is where the son of the Great Summer is located, and the Son of Heaven is finally back, and it is necessary for the people to see that the prosperous era of the Great Summer is back."

"What is it like when the Great Summer is prosperous, what kind of life will Your Majesty live, do you want Your Majesty to live in a dilapidated palace when you return to the capital, you can't guarantee three meals a day, and the palace concubines and royal children are not clothed?"

"Where is my Great Ha Weiyi? How can people feel at ease? How are the rebels afraid? What is the face of our courtiers? ”

It seems to be the same thing..... Wu Zheng and the two adults can't refute, of course, it's not that they can't argue with this woman, when it comes to arguments, they have been officials in the last dynasty for decades, who have they been afraid of?

It's not because a group of guards brought by Mrs. Chu are eyeing the hall.

"It can't go on like this."

After inspecting the garden, the officials took people to retreat and get busy, while Wu Zheng and the two adults sat down to rest.

Mrs. Chu did not treat them harshly, and as Mrs. Chu said, where the emperor of the capital palace is located, their food and clothing are all fine.

The eunuchs laid out soft cushions, brought fine refreshments, and did not watch over them, but withdrew from a distance to wait for orders.

It's a time to go back in time.

But they can't go on like this, and they weren't in the palm of someone else's hand before.

"It can't go on like this, it seems that Mrs. Chu has been pretending to be sick." Lord Wu said in a deep voice, "Let us do it ourselves, and after persuading Your Majesty not to enter Beijing for the time being, she will come out and lock us up." ”

Zheng Dadao: "Yes, although we brought soldiers and horses, we were defenseless at first, and we were all locked up outside the capital by her, and now they are all her people, and even Liu Fan was taken away by Wu Ya'er because of his closeness to us." ”

Lord Wu said: "Then tell everyone about the resolution of the imperial court and invite Mrs. Chu to go to Linzhou." ”

Master Zheng waved his hand again and again: "No, no, it can't be like this." ”

Lord Wu said anxiously: "Don't say it yet?" Not to mention, the two of us are afraid that we will have to sit in the prison and drink tea. ”

Master Zheng signaled him not to worry: "We just said this, we are going to be locked up in prison to drink tea, we should wait for Xiang Yun to come and let Xiang Yun come." ”

Xiang Yun held the holy decree and had soldiers and horses.

Xiang Yun can lead troops to fight and kill.

Xiang Yun was not trapped in the capital outside.

If he comes, he can besiege Mrs. Chu.

The previous paragraph was so busy that he forgot that there was Xiang Yun, so Master Wu sat down and let out a long breath: "Now I think it's a good thing that Xiang Dudu is injured." ”

Master Zheng twisted his beard and said: "So that sentence is really right, blessings and misfortunes lurk, and misfortunes and blessings rely on." ”

Lord Wu raised his hand and asked, "Hurry up and send a letter to Governor Xiangdu." ”

Lord Zheng said: "I have already arranged it, Lord Wu can rest assured." ”

Lord Wu took a sip of tea and looked at the scenery of the garden: "If Mrs. Chu doesn't leave, I won't worry about it for a day, but speaking of which, why does this Mrs. Chu cover her head and face?" Didn't you say that she was as beautiful as a fairy? ”

Is there still a woman in this world who is willing to cover up her fairy-like beauty?

"Looks like he's still hurt." Master Zheng guessed, "It's probably holding ..... now."

Before he finished speaking, there was a noise in the distance, some people running and some laughing..... The barren garden suddenly came alive.

Several palace maids stood in the green shadows of the flowers and beckoned.

"Thirteen Sons!"

"Filial piety!"

"Madame is back."

A teenager jumped out of the green shadow of the flowers: "The stepmother is back?!" He shouted loudly and ran past the group of palace maids, who were giggling and laughing.

Thirteen sons? Lord Zheng stood up and squinted, what son?

"The thirteen righteous children adopted by Mrs. Chu in Huainan Province were all sent to fight with Wudu Governor." Lord Wu knew this, and he didn't care, "I don't know where the orphans and homeless people came from, and they have all become sons." ”

......

......

"Stepmother."

Wu Xiao was waiting in front of the gate of Haitang Palace, and when he saw a familiar black shadow coming from a distance, he immediately knelt down to greet him.

Li Minglou only heard him coming when he came back, and walked over to help: "Why are you back?" Is there anything going on over there in Wudu? ”

Wu Xiao raised his head and smiled: "Stepmother, stepfather asked me to tell you that it's okay." ”

Li Minglou was stunned and laughed and pulled him up.

"Stepfather is worried that you are worried about him, so let me take a look." Wu Xiao then smiled and said, "Are you okay with your stepmother?" ”

Li Minglou smiled: "I'm fine, I'm not worried about him, don't worry." ”

Wu Xiao grinned: "Aren't the stepfathers and mothers having a heart, right?" ”

Yuan Ji, who was standing behind, looked at Jiang Ming: "Does this kid talk so much?" ”

He had no impression of these righteous children.

Jiang Ming personally sent these children to Wu Ya'er's side, and he was very familiar with the dealings, and said with a smile: "I can speak more than before." ”

That's what I learned from Wu Ya'er, and Yuan Ji understood.

Li Minglou dragged Wu Xiao into the hall, and listened to Wu Xiao while taking off his cloak.

"I've seen my grandmother." "Grandmother also gave gifts." "Kumquat, no, Sister Wan'er robbed me." "Mother-in-law, this is my gift to you." "Here's the gift of the Father-in-law." "Also, these are Ashin theirs."

Li Minglou listened with a smile, and then looked at Wu Xiao, to be honest, she couldn't remember the appearance of these righteous children, she hadn't seen her for so long, and she felt even more unrecognizable.

She asked, "Suffering?" ”

Wu Xiao nodded: "Bitter, very bitter, hot in summer, cold in winter, and always have to fight." ”

Li Minglou stretched out his hand and stroked his face: "That's really bitter." ”

Wu Xiao hummed and laughed again: "But it's also very profitable!" He stretched out his palm, his eyes lit up, "Mother-in-law, do you know how many soldiers I lead and how many cities I manage now?" ”

Li Minglou smiled and asked, "How much?" ”

"10,000 soldiers and horses, 28 cities in four states." Wu Xiao crossed his waist and laughed, "In charge of 800,000 people!" ”

Li Minglou stroked his head again: "That's really powerful, it's a big official." ”

Wu Xiao was proud: "That's, I'll go out now, and everyone will shout Thirteen Sons!" I never thought that I would be called a son in my life. ”

Li Minglou sat down with a smile: "Then you come back and have a good rest and enjoy it." ”

Wu Xiao nodded again and again and wrenched his fingers: "I think about it, first lie down everywhere in the palace, and then eat the imperial kitchen for a few days, and let the palace maids make dozens of new clothes." ”

Li Minglou responded one by one, and said to the palace maids around him: "Remember the instructions of the thirteenth prince." ”

The palace ladies smiled and replied.

Wu Xiao counted ten fingers, and he was still unsatisfied: "Then I will spend two days learning how to do things with my stepmother, and I can go back." ”

Li Minglou said: "It's only ten days, don't stay a few more days." ”

Wu Xiao took a sip of the sweet water handed by the palace maid and licked his tongue, shaking his head: "No, if you stay for a long time, your father-in-law will send someone to worry about your stepmother again." ”

Li Minglou smiled again.

"That's fine." She leaned back on the chair, the corners of her mouth curled, "Just let him send everyone back." ”

Wu Xiao smiled: "Then the father-in-law will send himself back first." ”

Yuan Ji glanced at Jiang Ming, why does this kid always say useless things. There are so many things to say about Hebei Province.

"It doesn't matter what you eat and drink." He explained to Jiang Ming with his eyes, "First change his nonsense." ”
