"The wind and rain are miserable, and the roosters are chirping. Seeing a gentleman, is he not a gentleman? The wind and rain are dashing, and the chickens are chirping. Seeing a gentleman, is he not embarrassed? The wind and rain are like obscurity, and the roosters are crowing. Seeing a gentleman, don't you like it? ”

In the Yonghe Palace, He Lin window stroked the piano.

"Bao'er and Qin's song are really exciting!" I don't know when, Yuan Hong has entered the inner hall.

He got up when he heard the words, and before he could salute, he was pulled into his arms by Yuan Hong.

He pillowed on Yuan Hong's shoulder and said softly: "Why doesn't Yuan Lang let people pass it on?" You can also make the concubine prepare earlier. ”

Gently stroking He's hair, Yuan Hong said: "If I know Bao'er, how can I hear such a heavenly sound?" ”

"This qin song is a Zheng folk song in the Spring and Autumn Period, and it is composed by an infatuated woman who misses her husband... It's my fault, I was only busy with the affairs of the previous dynasty all day, neglected the harem, and lost the time to accompany Bao'er and Shu'er. ”

When He heard Yuan Hong's words, he raised his head, looked at Yuan Hong affectionately, and said: "Yuan Lang is the king of the world, and he should put state affairs first... Concubine Zhiyuanlang has concubines and children in his heart, but the concubine is just caressing the piano and singing at will..."

Before He could speak, Yuan Hong had already pressed his lips to He's lips and kissed his beloved deeply.

The night is long, and the love is endless.

A winter thunder woke up the two emperors and concubines in their sleep. He hurriedly got up and wanted to go to the side hall. Yuan Hong pulled He and dissuaded: "Ying'er and Shu'er have their own nurses to accompany them, it must be okay." is Zihuai, and there is also a waiter on duty at night, so Bao'er doesn't need to worry. When the night is cold, you go out in a hurry, and if you suffer from the cold, how can you take care of the children? ”

He heard Yuanhong's words, and sat on the bed again: "Yuanlang's words are reasonable, the concubine is afraid of thunder, and the children are afraid..."

Yuan Hong covered the brocade quilt on He's body, and said softly: "Bao'er beware of cold... I know that you care about the children, and Bao'er should also take care of herself. ”

He bowed his head slightly, and said: "The concubine has written it down, and the concubine will not let Yuanlang work for the concubine again in the future..."

Suddenly, there was another thunderclap, Yuan Hong took He in his arms, and said, "There is me, Bao'er is not afraid." ”

He raised his eyes and looked out the window, and said quietly: "Ke'er is now living alone in the palace, and I don't know if she has been awakened by this winter thunder now." ”

Yuan Hong stroked He's back lightly and said, "Bao'er, don't worry, Zike has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, how can he be afraid of this thunder?" Besides, there are so many guards in the palace who should be the protector of his son's safety. ”

He Dao: "Ke'er is calm and practiced, but the concubine is too worried." ”

Yuan Hong said: "I know that Bao'er is a mother's heart... Zike lives alone in the palace, so it's no wonder that Bao'er is worried..."

Leaning on the bed railing, Yuan Hong continued: "Zi Ke has now left the palace to open the mansion, and he should not be allowed to live alone, it is time to choose a side concubine for Zi Ke to be the one who opens the house." ”

He knew that Yuan Ke only had Feng Ji in his heart, and that night Yuan Ke also showed He that he was unwilling to marry the side concubine. At this time, hearing Yuanhong's words, He's heart tightened. He didn't mean to deceive Yuan Hong, just these little things about his children, He didn't want to make Yuan Hong feel tired anymore. After thinking about it for a while, He said to Yuan Hong: "Yuanlang, although Ke'er has left the palace to open the mansion, he is only in the year of dancing spoons, and his blood is undecided... And Sister Gao has been alive for less than three years, and Ke'er is still in the period of filial piety. ”

Yuan Hong heard He's words, bowed his head slightly, and said: "Bao'er is reasonable, but I am not thoughtful, then I will rely on Bao'er, and then make a decision after the expiration of Ke'er's filial piety." ”

The thunder on a winter night is not an auspicious omen, and Yuan Hong is afraid that He will be worried again, so he did not say anything.

When he got up that morning, Yuan Hong did not get up to practice his sword as before, but only said that He Dao had to go back to the imperial study to review the chapter, and then boarded and left.

The imperial chariot will be carried away from the Yonghe Palace, and Yuan Hong will go to the palace with his attendants to announce the king of the city Yuancheng, the king of Xianyang, Yuanxi, the Taifu Mu Liang and the high priest outside the palace to meet him.

The courtiers had been waiting outside the palace gate for the early dynasty, and after getting the emperor's will, a few people entered the imperial study in a short time.

After everyone knelt down, he was motioned by the emperor to get up and take a seat. The Three Treasures led several of them to serve the buttermilk, and withdrew with them.

Yuan Cheng sat down in the banquet and said, "Your Majesty got up in the morning and waited for the ministers, but because of the thunderstorm last night?" ”

Yuan Hong bowed his head slightly, and said: "Uncle Huang knows that the thunder on a winter night is not an auspicious omen, so I Xuan'er and others came to discuss. ”

Mu Liang said: "Your Majesty, the so-called Winter Thunder is born, ten columns and nine empty. This winter night thunder will be the Lord this winter's great cold, and the livestock will be plagued! ”

Yuan Hong believed in the high priest, and when he heard Mu Liang's words, he turned his head to look at the high priest and said, "High priest, do you know what this omen is?" ”

The high priest is now friendly with Yuan Yu, the princess of Pengcheng, and has been hinted at by Yuan Yu several times, so that he can help the Li family of Right Zhaoyi ascend to the throne. Last night there was a winter thunder, and the high priest took it into account. At this time, when he heard the emperor's inquiry, the high priest lowered his head and said: "Your Majesty, the winter thunder appeared last night, and the minister knew that it was not good, so he watched the sky overnight, and the thunder appeared in the southeast, and it was the night of the moon in front of it, but Gou Chenxing was obscure..."

Yuan Hong saw that the high priest wanted to speak and stopped, so he said: "The high priest but it is okay to say, I would like to hear the high priest's detailed words." ”

The high priest replied, "Your Majesty... This... This Gou Chen's elephant, whose real name is Qilin, is in the center, the main harem... Gou Chen Xing is dark, I don't see it, the heroine is evil..."

"The thunder of the winter night is the precept of God, if the heroine does not go, she will be punished by God..."

After Yuan Hong wanted to be abolished, but because of Feng's birthday, Yuan Hong cared about his old relationship, so he only grounded Queen Feng in the Jiaokun Palace and did not issue an edict to the world. At this time, hearing the words of the high priest, Yuan Hong tightened his eyebrows and said, "According to the words of the high priest, I can solve the disaster of the heavenly phenomena after I am abolished?" ”

The high priest bowed his head and said, "This is indeed what the stars say." ”

Mu Liangben was connected to the Feng family's in-laws, and he didn't want the queen to be deposed. Before the high priest could speak, Mu Liang spoke: "Your Majesty, although the queen has acted unwisely, she has been confined to the Jiaokun Palace for the past half a year to meditate on her mistakes, and she has suddenly woken up... And the queen is the former empress dowager for His Majesty, and she is also the wife of His Majesty, so she can't be abolished at will..."

Seeing that Yuan Hong only lowered his head and looked at the bowl and thought about it, Mu Liang continued: "Taishi and Feng Situ regard their names as life, if Your Majesty is abolished, don't say that Taishi and Feng Situ are newly lost in the earth, and it is difficult to see them, even if the first Empress Dowager is in the kingdom of heaven, it is difficult to be safe!" ”

Mu Liang was already in tears between his words.

For a while, there was a sound of needles falling in the imperial study, and the monarchs and ministers were silent.

A ray of sunlight slanted in, Yuan Hong looked up at the hourglass, and said unhappily: "Chen Zhengchao will not be delayed, you are all people with my heart, I entered the palace early to discuss with you, and now I am silent left and right, as if I am out of the matter, what is the use of waiting for you?" ”

Seeing that the emperor was displeased, everyone hurriedly got up and knelt on the ground, and said in unison: "Your Majesty forgives your sins, and the ministers will die!" ”

Raising his head slightly, seeing that Yuan Hong was still stunned, Yuan Cheng spoke first: "Your Majesty, the queen is in the middle palace and is the mother of all the people in the world. According to the minister's humble opinion, although the queen was confused by witchcraft, she did not cause a big disaster, and now that His Majesty has punished her, it is better to give the queen a chance to regain her life. ”

Yuanxi is now friendly with Li Chong's father and son, and has accepted the female dependents of the Li clan as side concubines, so he wishes that the right Zhaoyi Li family will ascend the throne. Hearing Yuancheng's words, Yuanxi said: "The queen is the master of the middle palace, so she should be the mother of the world." Now that the queen is practicing witchcraft and causing trouble in the palace, if she is still in the position of Luan, how can Your Majesty calm everyone in the harem, and how can you calm the people in the world? ”

The high priest knew that Yuanxi was helping the Li family, so he took over: "The minister ignores the affairs of His Majesty's harem, just as it seems to have appeared today, and Your Majesty must not be careless." ”

When Mu Liang heard the words of the high priest, he panicked, and said while kowtowing: "Your Majesty is filial piety to the Empress Dowager in advance, and the Empress Dowager is the niece of the Empress Dowager, Your Majesty must not abolish the queen... Your Majesty thinks twice..."

Yuan Hong also ignored Mu Liang, only got up, walked slowly to the window, and stood in front. After a full cup of tea, Yuan Hongfu walked in front of everyone again, helped Yuan Cheng up with his own hands, and said solemnly: "The queen is stubborn and resentful, and she has violated the decree several times, so virtue is a loss, and it is not the blessing of the family and the country." Because of the queen's honorific title, he was abolished as a commoner, but I took care of the reputation of the emperor's grandmother's mother, and moved to Yaoguang Temple to become a nun on the same day, meditating on my own mistakes in front of the Buddha, and I did not see his life and death. ”
