Shen Zetang's words came out, and everyone was silent, all of them were old ministers who had been in the court for several years, and they didn't need to explain much, they already knew it.

After a while, Xu Ling sighed and said: "Every morning in the basin, the emperor vomits purple blood, and his body and bones are afraid that the oil will gradually run out......

He couldn't go on, swept the Chen Yan who swept the basin to the fire, his expression was stunned, it was difficult to hide his sadness, the old emperor worked hard to govern the country, and appointed people to be virtuous.

"Tell you something...... Li Guangqi raised his hand to wipe the tiredness on his face, and prepared for the Kunning Palace Sacrifice Ceremony, he was duty-bound for the Ministry of Rites, and he hadn't slept well for a long time.

He said: "Don't look at the strict rules in the palace, but the rumors can't be hidden, I heard that the emperor plans to sacrifice to the gods at the banquet, the edict to the world to abolish the crown prince Zhu Yu's order, and the fifth prince Zhu Xi will succeed the emperor." ”

Everyone's faces became solemn, and Li Guangqi continued: "There is no wind and no waves in this matter, I frequently go in and out of the palace, and it is common for the eunuchs to enter and leave the emperor's palace with the eunuchs in and out of the palace, and they stay for half a day behind closed doors, and the situation is really strange. “

Gouda interjected: "It is said that it is most appropriate to abolish the crown prince and set up another prince, and it is most appropriate to edict the world during the sacrifice ceremony, and the people should only be an oracle from heaven, so naturally there will be no chaos." “

Shen Zetang pondered for a long time before he said in a deep voice: "How can the prince be helpless, behind him are the Queen Mother and Empress Chen, as well as Xu Bingyong, who dare to use the method of retreating as advance, presumably he has already assisted the circuit, but he just concealed us." According to the current situation, the only thing that can be done is to wait and see the changes, and not to want it to be chaotic. “

Everyone agreed, Chen Yan drank all the wine, and his expression was quite touched: "Thousands of miles of rivers and mountains and thousands of miles of dust, once a son of heaven and a courtier, fortunately I have already retired, you don't have to make plans at this time, and it is a good policy to respond to all changes unchanged." He asked Shen Zetang again: "Is there any movement over there from King Hao?" It's a good time for him. “

Shen Zetang shook his head and said lightly: "If there are no rumors of the crown prince cutting the domain, he is happy to see his nephew become the emperor." ”

turned to look at Li Guangqi: "What you said today, don't reveal half a word to your son-in-law Qin Shilang, if you are willing, it will be the same in the future." “

"What do you mean by that?" Li Guangqi was a little puzzled.

Shen Zetang was silent for a moment, but still said: "On the night Xu Bingyong left Beijing, my secret guard happened to see Qin Shilang and entered through the back door of his mansion in a sedan chair. “

Li Guangqi's face changed drastically.

........................

After everyone left, three drums had been handed over, and the snow outside the window was getting thicker, like a few crabs on the sand.

Shen Rong came to inquire if he wanted to prepare a sedan chair to go home, but Shen Zetang didn't need it, he stood up and went straight to the ear room, and he was going to enter the morning court in two hours, and he just rested here.

The brazier was lit in the ear room, and when it was neither warm nor cold, he took off his shoes and sat on the big kang, and took a volume of Buddhist scriptures on the desk with his hand, and the habit he had developed over the years was what he needed to read before going to bed before he could fall asleep.

Suddenly, someone outside the curtain quietly asked Shen Erye if he was sleepy, Xu Jing lifted the curtain and went back again, saying that Guo Zhang, the official of Wenxuan Qing Langzhong, came to see him, and Huang Rong in the original Langzhong had been dismissed.

Shen Zetang ordered him to come in and speak, and Guo Zhang saluted, and then handed over the official selection book, and said respectfully: "The book of Dali Temple was handed over at dusk, and after the officials read it, they still think that it is better for the adults to have reviewed it first." ”

Shen Zetang smiled, only let Xu Jing take over the official selection book, and said in a gentle tone: "It's late at night, you go back to rest first, and it's not too late to discuss tomorrow." ”

Xu Jing sent Guo Zhang away, and when he came back, he saw Shen Erye reading the selection book, frowning and pondering.

didn't wait for him to ask, and heard Shen Erye say: "Yang Yan asked Dali Temple to increase the temple to be a first, a five-grade official position, and Feng Shunyu, a supervisor of the past, is diligent in her performance, and she is appointed to this position." ”

Xu Jing was very surprised: "This Yang Yan is not afraid of causing public anger? The superintendent of the past can be appointed as a five-grade official, so how should the officials under the five-grade deal with themselves? ”

Shen Zetang said calmly: "He just proposed, and it was up to me to approve the review, and Yang Yan's move was to make me arouse public anger." “

"That second master doesn't pass, it's okay." Xu Jing said it as a matter of course.

Not passing....... This great opportunity was missed, Feng Shunyu wanted to hate him to death, that stubborn girl!

"A serial scheme! Yang Yan really had bad intentions. He raised his hand to rub the tiredness in his eyebrows, and put the selection book on the table.

picked up the Buddhist scriptures again, looked up at the stunned Xu Jing, and said with a light smile: "I have my own coping." It is late at night, and you can rest. ”

.............................

The sound of candle flames crackling and popping flowers became clearer and clearer in the quiet room, and the brazier was blazing, and warmth spread everywhere.

Shen Zetang only felt that there was heat on his body, so he simply untied the leather belt, opened his clothes, and thought that he would stay overnight after reading the Buddhist scriptures again.

The eyes suddenly became hazy, and there was an unbearable heat climbing from the soles of the feet, wrapping around the legs straight up, gathering between the legs, where the entrenched green dragon jumped up in an instant.

Shen Zetang knew that this was a treacherous spring dream, and he would do it once in a while.

He seemed to return to the courtyard of Shenfu Qitong, lifted the curtain and entered the room, the bed was empty tonight, and the man actually picked up the woman and pressed against the corner to make Fengyue.

Although the man is a civil official, he has practiced martial arts since he was a child, and the Yunnan Quellah is also a horizontal sword, and he does not feel that he wears the court clothes of a first-class official on weekdays, but now he is naked, but he is strong and burly, and his wide back is covered with fine beads of sweat, which slowly flows down along the deep bones.

Shen Zetang's heart is like a mirror, this man is him.

The woman couldn't see her face clearly, she was pushed off the ground, as if she was afraid of falling, so she had to use two slender and tender legs to tightly wrap around the man's waist, and her white feet flickered and swayed, depending on the strength of the man's wanton gallop.

The woman seemed to be unable to stand it, and bit his shoulder, humming and crying and begging for mercy.

"Say you like me." The man's voice was deep and hoarse, domineering that could not be refused.

Even at this moment, the woman still stubbornly refused, she said, "I don't like it." ”

"I don't like ......." The man laughed playfully, but he never covered the reddened eyes: "I don't like to be able to keep so much water ......" ”

Shen Zetang frowned and groaned, he is not close to women, and the only one who has had skin to skin is his former wife, Mengsheng.

At first, he thought that the woman was Mengsheng, but he didn't think about it, and he felt ashamed to love Mengsheng on the bed, let alone the wanton attitude of leaning against the wall from the table.

He wouldn't say those vulgar words, she wouldn't listen.

Mengsheng is everyone's best girl, and she is a talented woman in the capital, her words and deeds follow the rules, and the sexual affairs of the two of them have always been affectionate and polite, and then with Lili, he is busy with court scheming, and this kind of thing has become lighter.

“...... You goblin. The man's back stiffened, and the woman's legs were clearly red marks by his grip, and he listened to his pleading tone: "Is it okay to give me a baby?" “

The woman paused, and suddenly pushed his chest desperately, and the voice was cold and ruthless: "Go away..... Get out...... I don't give you life. “
