In early summer, the palace is rippling with red willows and green blue waves in the morning mist, and there is no noise and chaos during the repair, and it is no longer empty and dead before.

The concubines, princesses, and princesses from Linzhou live in separate halls, and the eunuchs and palace maids are full of them, laughing during the day and lighting at night.

The sound of the machine is still the same.

The palace maids on night duty in the queen mother's palace retreated, and other palace maids and eunuchs came in the morning mist with toiletries and food boxes.

On one side of the main hall is a loom behind a tulle curtain, and the women in summer palace clothes concentrate on weaving.

The palace maids and eunuchs stood outside the curtain and waited quietly, and the moment the sound of the machine stopped, everyone moved, the curtain was raised, and the palace maids helped the queen mother to come out, and sat down in front of the table after washing and cleaning their faces.

"Today's meal was hearty." The Queen Mother said, looking at the two more dishes in the porridge and side dishes.

"Niangniang, it is the early summer health configuration made in the imperial kitchen, and the routine in the palace ......" a palace maid said.

Obviously, this so-called convention is not from the Lu Palace.

She married directly to the Lu Mansion in Linzhou, and did not live in the palace like a heavenly palace.

The marquis said that when the Son of Heaven returned to Beijing, the atmosphere of the prosperous era should be restored, and the palace obviously operated according to the prosperous era.

The four seasons of food are carefully configured according to the changes of the solar terms.

The Queen Mother looked at the table and didn't speak.

The palace maid thought of the frugal days she had lived in the past few years, and her expression was uneasy: "Let them withdraw?" ”

The Queen Mother said: "I have reduced two cases here, and I can't use up so much, so there is no need to change the others." ”

She smiled.

"It's time for everyone to have a good life."

The palace ladies regained their relaxation, and the cloth and vegetables served the meal and chatted, "All the palaces have changed their summer clothes, and the window screens and bedspreads are new", "Your Majesty has also grown taller", "Now you don't need to wake up in the court", "When you go to the court, you also talk about diligence"

The Queen Mother paused for chopsticks: "He is still young now, he is well-groomed, he is diligent and not in a hurry, so he will come to see me when he goes down to the court." ”

The palace maids responded: "But it should be late today." ”

Another palace maid was excited: "Today, the princess is in court." ”

The queen mother never asked about court affairs, and she didn't know as much as the palace maids and eunuchs, and she was a little uneasy when she heard this: "Is there something big?" ”

Although the princess is the regent and the superintendent of the country, she almost never goes to court, saying that the rebels in the world have not been pacified, and the political affairs she should do are only conquests, and the prime minister is in charge of the affairs of the court.

The palace maids and eunuchs can know who is coming to the court, but they don't know what the court is going to say...... It's not the same now as it was when Jeonkai was there.

There were stacks of greetings from outside the door, "Grandpa Yu" and "Grandpa Yu".

The eunuchs and palace maids who surrounded the Queen Mother immediately dispersed and served.

Listen to the footsteps, watch a pair of shoes cross the threshold, and then look up, a eunuch with warm facial features and a jade-like face walks into sight.

"Father-in-law Yu"

Everyone in the room saluted.

nodded slightly, walked up to the Queen Mother, and gave a salute with a smile: "How is Niangniang today?" ”

The Queen Mother smiled at him: "It's okay, I'll go to sleep after dinner, have you eaten?" ”

"The old slave has eaten it." Before he finished speaking, he asked, "Is this food palatable?" The old slave asked the imperial dining room to prepare more Linzhou flavors and find a Linzhou cook. ”

The Queen Mother flatly refused: "Don't waste money and money, it's good now, just eat a full meal, don't start picking." ”

The unhurried response was: "The old slave is wrong. ”

The Queen Mother hummed, did not appease her, nor continued to ask mistakes, and picked up chopsticks.

Before she was served, she was served: "Niangniang still can't sleep weaving at night?" ”

The Queen Mother said: "Don't worry, I'm not because of frugality, nor am I nervous and anxious." ”

She smiled and took the unfinished food and took a bite of it.

"I'm a pastime, just like everyone visiting the garden and watching songs and dances."

"I don't have any hobbies in the first place, but this one is pretty good."

"Every day, after weaving, eating, and then going to sleep, refreshed."

"Look, my face is very good?"

Before looking at the Queen Mother, she said with a smile: "It's much better, the mother's gray hair is less." ”

The Queen Mother smiled and ate.

"Today, the princess is in court." Before he took the initiative, he said, "Something happened over there in Yanhai Road." ”

The Queen Mother was taken aback: "Rebellion? ”

"No, no." Before he hurriedly said, "It's the governor of Changdu who passed away, and the court went to mourn and was driven out, and the Chang family also wanted the third son to inherit the festival." ”

The Queen Mother held the dishes and chopsticks: "This is too... There are no rules. ”

Nodding: "Today is to discuss this matter, and the maid means to be punished." ”

The Queen Mother thought for a moment: "I don't understand these either, Madame is not afraid, and I am not afraid." ”

Wei said: "The old slave went to tell Madame and let her rest assured." ”

The Queen Mother said: "Go ahead, we haven't gone through any suffering." ”

If you don't respond, you will retire.

He left, and the palace maids and eunuchs in the palace came back to life and gathered around the queen mother again to laugh.

The eunuchs standing outside the hall also spoke in low voices.

"It turns out that this is what happened to the princess."

"That lady is in charge of fighting, is this going to fight?"

"Father-in-law Yu came to ask Niangniang, it can be seen that he is mainly Feng Niangniang."

"Look what you say! Father-in-law Yu was left by the first emperor to his mother! ”

This Ah Yu entered the palace through **, ** was a close confidant of the first emperor, he was assassinated at the night banquet, he saved the little princess with cleverness and bravery, and the first emperor entrusted him to take care of the queen before his death.

The Queen Mother ignored all the jokes around her, and only ate quietly and attentively.

Before he walked out of the Empress Dowager's palace, there was no smile on his face, and the eunuchs and palace maids on the road avoided giving him a salute, and they didn't dare to look up when he walked by.

Since that night after the rebel assassins, the palace has carried out a great investigation, this Ah Yu presided over the disposal of many people, after entering the palace in the capital, there is a difference in words and deeds, and he let the forbidden army drag out to do hard labor, and the number of people from Linzhou is now less than half......

No matter who he wants to dispose of, he doesn't even ask the Queen Mother, and he will only say a word to the Queen Mother after he has disposed of it.

The Queen Mother is the master, but in fact, he himself is the lord of the palace......

"Look at you." The attendant followed, "What a scare man!" ”

He reached out and made a smile on his face.

"Be kind, let everyone love you!"

He smiled and regained his warmth.

"Nope." He shook his head, "It's better to make everyone fear me than love me now." ”

The attendant looked back at the palace in amazement: "I didn't expect us to be able to come back here." ”

It's a pity that King Zhao never came back.

"Don't talk about the past." Unfinished.

The retinue pursed his lips and stopped talking about King Zhao.

"Yizhou sent the children of the eldest son of the Chang family." He said, "Do you think I'm coming to see you first?" ”

Wei said: "I said, in the future, these things will be handed over to the six members of the Middle School, and you don't need to ask me again, let alone see me." ”

The attendant said: "Okay, then I won't know you in the future!" ”

He flicked his sleeves and hummed away.

I didn't call him, and I didn't squint.

The entourage himself retreated: "I still have a question, you say, does Madam really dare to fight Yanhaidao?" That's the Way! ”

Wei said: "Madame said that if you dare to fight, if you don't fight, there is a reason not to fight." ”

I didn't even want to speculate, so I didn't say anything, and the entourage snorted, this time I really kicked away, and now I'm very busy outside!

Before watching his entourage leave, he also stopped, and then it was the front court, he didn't set foot in it, and called a little eunuch to order: "Go and pass the words of the queen mother to the female marquis." ”

After listening to his relay, the little eunuch hurried to the front hall.

The hall was noisy.

"This is the result of conniving at those defenders during the New Year!"

"I didn't agree at the time, tax exemption can be exempted, the audience must be seen, you don't listen!"

"If the rules are messed up, there will be no rules."

"Okay now, it's really starting to take an inch."

"Master Kang, what you said is not right, so if you say that, wouldn't Li Dudu also have to make inches?"

"Lord Gu, don't talk nonsense, can Li Dudu and the son of the Chang family be the same? I think you've taken the benefits of the Chang family, right? ”

Seeing that the discussion turned into a noise, Zhu Xiangye shouted to stop!

"It's already happening, don't ask about your previous decision! What's more, the previous approach has more benefits than disadvantages to people's livelihood and the stability of the world under the current situation. ”

After listening to Zhu Xiangye's words, some officials laughed, and said lightly: "Since Xiangye is so insistent, then what do you say." ”

"Then issue an edict to allow them to be rude to the court officials!" There are officials shouting.

Laughter sounded in the hall, and this laughter made several old ministers stomp their feet, "What kind of system!" ”

"Stop arguing." Zhu Xiangye endured his temper and said, "Let's talk about what to do now." ”

This made the officials even more reluctant to hear: "What do we say, is it useful?" "Zhu Xiangye doesn't listen to us." "Zhu Xiangye, what should you do?"

Before Zhu Xiangye could speak, a female voice said, "I mean to ask for sin." ”

Everyone's eyes looked at the woman seated at the emperor's head.

"Madame, what crime do you ask?" An official said, "Disrespectful to court officials? Or does the Chang family want the son to inherit the father's business? ”

"Madam, it is disrespectful to the court officials, the Chang family has already said that Chang Dudu is seriously ill, and the grief is difficult to suppress when he listens to the word condolence, and the guilt of filial piety can be forgiven." An official said, "As for the son inheriting his father's business, if you want to ask, then I'm afraid you have to ask Li Dudu of Jiannan Province first......

There was a buzz in the hall, "Yes", "It's easy to ask for sin, you have to be reasonable."

Zhu Xiangye frowned and said, "Didn't you say that the tax-free audience is connivance? Then now you don't ask about Yanhai Dao, isn't it also conniving? ”

The officials immediately didn't like to hear it, "As long as you know it with emotion and reason, how can it still be called connivance?" "Let the Yanhaidao prophet be wrong, and the court will be appeased, the rules will be there, and there will be stability."

They were talking lively, but the maid did not speak again, and a eunuch and a forbidden soldier came to her and whispered.

Li Minglou nodded, signaled them to retreat, and then looked at the hundred officials in the hall.

"Whether Yanhaidao knows anything wrong or not is their business." She said, "The court must ask for the guilt, one is disrespectful to the court officials, the crime of refusing to accept the court order, loyalty and filial piety are difficult to achieve, but filial piety is not an excuse for disloyalty." The second question is not that the son inherits the father's business, but that he decided privately, when Li Du inherited the Jiedu envoy, he first asked the imperial court to allow it, and the third question ......"

She stood up.

"Three questions about the crime of killing flesh and blood brothers."

Flesh and Bone Brothers? The last sentence surprised the officials before they were about to ask, and Li Minglou had already signaled.

"The complainant of the Xuanchang family enters the temple."

The officials turned their heads to look out, and saw a forbidden soldier walking in with a woman and two children trembling, and the three of them fell to their knees when they entered the hall.

The two children kowtowed and cried loudly without waiting for questions: "The third uncle killed me, my father killed my mother, killed my maternal grandfather, maternal grandmother, uncle, aunt, brother and sister, ......"

At the end of the day, his voice became muffled, and he would only cry.

Despite this, the title reported in just one sentence also made the officials in the palace tremble, and it seemed that they had seen a corpse.........

………

………

The child's crying gradually stopped, the nurse's narration also stopped, the hall was quiet, everyone had experienced war, seen more life and death, but was still shocked to hear this cannibalism.

I was so shocked that there were no words or morals to talk about it anymore.

I wish there was no discussion in the first place.

The court officials were refused to enter the door, and the Chang family would inherit the father's business if they wanted their sons, as long as there was no murder and arson, the face of the court would be damaged.

But they didn't say it, Li Minglou still asked: "Is it a crime to pay for life by killing?" ”

An official thought for a moment and asked, "Madam, what if the third prince of Chang does not admit his guilt?" ”

Li Minglou said: "There are witnesses." ”

Another official looked at the nurse and child kneeling in the temple...... "Only they say, is it a false accusation?" ”

Li Minglou said: "There are traces of murder and arson, and you will know it when you enter Yanhai Road." ”

Here's the problem, the official Chi asked: "What if, Chang Sangongzi doesn't let the court investigate?" ”

After all, they dared to send the imperial court to mourn before.... That is, the officials who went to check it were turned away.

If it was to investigate his murder, he would not be allowed to enter the door.

Li Minglou smiled: "Does he dare?" ”

………

………

"I think you dare to enter the city!"

At this time, on the gate of Mizhou City in Yanhai Road, Chang Bagongzi stood proudly, looking at a team of soldiers and horses outside the city gate.

"Zhou Xian, of course I know you, the general of the Chu army."

"As a Chu army stationed in Yizhou, it is allowed by King Zhao, and we don't have to ask Yanhaidao."

"But! Why did you come to our Michigan? Do you want to check Chang's family affairs? What qualifications do you have! ”

Listening to the roar on the city gate, Zhou Xian frowned: "Didn't I say it, on the orders of the first marquis." ”

He motioned for the lieutenant general beside him to hold up the paperwork.

"Take it and see it."

Chang Bagongzi sneered: "The first marquis's paperwork, why should we Yanhaidao take it?" What does the first Hou say? What has become of the world's guardians? We are all given by the emperor......"

Zhou Xian interrupted him: "Don't talk nonsense, don't you listen, let you go into the city, right?" ”

Chang Bagongzi said coldly: "Don't listen, don't let in, you stay ........."

Before he finished his words, he saw the black-faced general under the city gate wave his hand, and a heavy bow was pulled away, and in the blink of an eye, with a buzzing sound, an arrow arrived in front of him, magnifying ......

So fast!

Chang Bagongzi screamed without an exit, only this one thought flashed, and with a poof, the arrow hit his eyebrows, penetrated his forehead, and led him backwards.

There was silence on the city walls, and then there was a bang.

The city gate threw the bow and arrow on the horse's back next week, and said impatiently: "Don't say it early, there is so much nonsense, it's a waste of time!" ”

After that, he spat again.

"Also, Lao Tzu is the person of the Wudu Governor, can't you see the banner of martial arts, you idiot!"
