Seven pick-ups
Su Ying quickly reacted, the "Ye Lang" in Yun Luo's mouth was Ye Jingzhi, and when she mentioned her father, her tone was not very good, and she was a little uneasy: "What's wrong with my father?" ”
Yun Luo said: "Don't worry, Niangniang, Ye Lang said that the old man looks in good spirits, but when he is eating and chatting, the old man seems to be very concerned about the Queen Mother, Ye Lang used to ......" Her face darkened for a moment: "Didn't Ye Lang often walk around in front of the Queen Mother in the past, the Lord asked a lot of things about the Queen Mother, such as what the Queen Mother was doing on weekdays, and ...... And how often Your Majesty comes to see the Queen Mother. ”
Su Ying sighed in her heart: "What else did my father ask?" ”
"The master also asked, the third son and the fourth son had accidents one after another, whether it would make His Majesty have a grudge against Niangniang." Yun Luo hesitated for a moment, but still told her: "Actually, it's not just the master, after the slave maid got married, the lady came to see the slave maid one day, and the things asked were similar to what the master asked." ”
From this point of view, my father and mother are probably afraid that they will be angry with Pei Zhao because of family affairs, no wonder they think so, they are just a queen mother with no real power in the eyes of others, and Pei Zhao doesn't like the Su family very much, it is normal for them to be like this, Su Ying breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Then what do you say?" ”
"Don't worry, Ye Lang told the master that he hasn't painted in the harem for a long time, and he rarely sees the face of the sky, so he doesn't know much about what the master asks, as for the lady's ......" Yun Luo said in a low voice: "The slave will never say anything unfavorable to the mother." ”
Yun Luo's expression was also a little more serious, and she couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Of course I know." After thinking about it, he still quietly told her: "I want to find an opportunity to talk to my mother about this matter euphemistically, what do you think I should say?" ”
Yun Luo didn't understand what "this matter" was at first, but she only reacted when she saw Su Jin's face flush, and couldn't help but be shocked: "Niangniang, do you really want to say it?" ”
"Of course." Su Jin's eyes were shining: "Do you think it's bad for me to be like this?" But I really want to be with him openly, just like you and Mr. Ye. ”
Yun Luo was stunned, and immediately lowered her eyes: "No matter what you do, the slave is on your side." ”
That's right, since she was a child, she wanted to be naughty and do bad things, but the biggest accomplice was Yunluo. There are very few people who know about her and Pei Zhao, but as long as one more person is willing to affirm them, she will be more happy.
Because Pei Ming came to ask for peace as soon as he returned to the palace today, and has been in the Yanhe Palace since then, Pei Zhao slowed down the speed of the batch of excerpts, picked up a few slightly easy-to-understand excerpts and told him in detail. For example, how much money is needed for everything, and what kind of officials can be qualified for any job, they are all very detailed. Pei Ming nodded while listening, and finally hugged his legs and said with his eyes shining: "Brother Huang is so powerful, he speaks better than Mr. Zishantang!" ”
He smiled slightly, put down the red pen in his hand, and said to Pei Ming: "Go wash your face, don't let your queen mother wait." ”
Tong He smiled and stepped forward to pull Pei Ming: "The old slave will wait for His Royal Highness to change his clothes, look at you, your face is covered with ink." ”
After the two of them left, Pei Zhao rubbed the corners of his forehead, and leaned on the throne a little tiredly to recuperate. Yuan Lu stood quietly on the side of the corner of the hall, and a small palace lady tiptoed in and whispered: "Father-in-law, Lord Ye of Danqing Pavilion is outside to see His Majesty, they don't dare to make their own decisions, and order the slave maid to ask the father-in-law for an idea." ”
Yuan Lu couldn't help but be shocked, this Lord Ye was led to His Majesty by him last time, I heard that His Majesty was very angry for some reason that day, and after that, the master repeatedly warned himself, but whenever Lord Ye came to see, he must be cautious, but now that the master is not there, even if he is smart, he is a little overwhelmed for a while.
Seeing Yuan Lu's brows, the little palace lady whispered: "Father-in-law, why don't I go and have a perfunctory fight with Lord Ye, just don't let him go to His Majesty." ”
"It won't work." Yuan Lu said: "Lord Ye is His Majesty's courtier, if anything is delayed, you and I can't afford it, why don't you go and ask Lord Ye to wait, and when the master comes back, I will ask him." ”
They had already suppressed their voices very low, but they were still heard by Pei Zhao, he slowly opened his eyes, and said lightly: "What are you talking about?" ”
Yuan Lu couldn't help but tremble, knowing that he couldn't hide from this, so he had to bite the bullet and say: "Back to Your Majesty, Lord Ye of Danqing Pavilion is already waiting outside the Yanhe Hall when he asks to see His Majesty." ”
Pei Zhao's face didn't have any waves: "Let him come in." ”
Yuan Lu responded worriedly, ordered Xiao Gong'e to invite Ye Jingzhi, and he also walked out of the main hall lightly, and as soon as he walked into the courtyard, he saw Tong He pulling Pei Ming over slowly, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Master, that Lord Ye is here again." ”
Tong He was a little surprised: "When did Lord Ye come?" ”
Yuan Lu said: "It's Fang Cai, the slave originally wanted to wait for the master to come back and get an idea, so Your Majesty might as well open your mouth first and let Lord Ye go to face the saint, look at this ......"
Tong He smiled: "You little cub, I don't know whether to say that you are cautious, or whether to say that you are stupid, just let me tell you, you don't have to worry about Lord Ye in the future." ”
Tong He breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and couldn't help but smile, Tong He said: "Don't be stupid, Your Majesty has something to tell Master Ye, none of us can go in, you go to the treasury in person, and order someone to prepare the things that Your Majesty wants to send to Changle Palace, be careful and be careful." ”
Yuan Lu hurriedly said: "Thank you Master for mentioning it, the slave can save it." While he walked towards the storehouse, he unconsciously looked towards the side of the main hall, and the sun was very bright, shining the glazed tiles on the eaves of the Yanhe Palace.
The hall was also bright, Ye Jingzhi knelt quietly at the foot of the steps, and couldn't help but think of that day, he also knelt in front of Pei Zhao like this, and said the most rebellious words.
That day was about the bravest of his life, but unfortunately it could only end here.
Pei Zhao smiled at him: "Get up and speak." ”
He got up according to his words, thinking that Pei Zhao would ask him why he came today, but he didn't open his mouth for a long time, so he had to say first: "Your Majesty, the lower official has something important to tell Your Majesty." ”
Pei Zhao slowly flipped through a copy of "Governing the Country", and said casually: "If you want to talk about Su Chen's dealings with Pei Ming in Youzhou, then you don't need to say it anymore." ”
Ye Jingzhi was shocked: "Your Majesty knows? ”
Pei Zhao glanced at him, and casually threw a letter in the book to him, Ye Jingzhi read it carefully, and a look of disbelief appeared on his face: "Since Your Majesty has known for a long time, why do you stand still and let King De and the Su family do it?" ”
Pei Zhao's eyes were quite sharp: "If they don't act, how can I govern them uprightly?" ”
Ye Jingzhi was stunned, remembering what he said in the past, "The Su family is the founder of my country, loyal and patriotic for a hundred years, and full of loyal martyrs", he couldn't help but be very embarrassed: "The lower official was stupid that day, please forgive your majesty." ”
"You're stupid." Pei Zhao said quietly: "But it's not bad that you can enter the palace and report to me immediately when you receive the news from your master." ”
Ye Jingzhi's master Shen Qingyan traveled all over the world after resigning from the official, this time it was when he passed through Youzhou, he happened to see Su Chen and King Pei Yu coming and going, so he had an extra eye to quietly investigate for a few days, and then quickly wrote a letter and sent it to Shangjing to him. If Ye Jingzhi was only shocked, then at this moment it was a great horror.
It is not uncommon for His Majesty to know that the Su family has long been willing to help King De rebel, and he can figure out what he wants to report today, but he even knows why he knows about it, he is just a small edict, and the master has long been an idler who travels all over the world. He didn't go out of the sky to know everything, and he really made people tremble.
His palms were cold, Pei Zhao saw that he looked quite frightened, smiled coldly, and asked, "What do you want to tell me today, there must be more than this, what else is there?" ”
Ye Jingzhi reluctantly settled down: "Your Majesty, a few days ago, the minister met Su Xiang, Su Xiang invited the minister to go to eat and drink with him, during which he inquired about some things about the Queen Mother, and after the minister went home, he heard from Humble Jing that Mrs. Su had also come to find her recently, and the minister was always a little uneasy in his heart, so he came to report to His Majesty." ”
Pei Zhao suddenly looked up at him: "What did they ask you?" ”
Ye Jingzhi: "Master Su is scheming, and only said that there have been many things in the Su family recently, and he is afraid that the queen mother will be implicated, so he only asked the minister about the daily life of the queen mother, but the minister listened to Jing and said that Mrs. Su asked in detail. Your Majesty may not know that Humble Jing has served by the Queen Mother's side for many years, so she is naturally devoted to the Queen Mother, but she is not a cautious person, and there will inevitably be omissions in her speech. ”
Pei Zhao's eyes were cold, and his voice was still as cold as usual: "Go on." ”
Ye Jingzhi looked at his face carefully, and Fang continued to speak: "The lower official asked the clumsy Jing carefully, and carefully pondered it, but I am afraid that Su Xiang still doesn't have any ideas, but Mrs. Su has already noticed something." ”
He told Pei Zhao everything about that day, Pei Zhao listened quietly, and suddenly asked him: "You said that Su Shi asked you about painting that day, and even your master asked?" ”
Ye Jingzhi nodded and said: "That's right, Su Xiang asked the minister how many times he painted the Queen Mother, whether those paintings were exactly the same as the Queen Mother's Fengyan, and also asked the lower officials, when the master was in the past, did he also paint for the Queen Mother like this." ”
Pei Zhao turned the page of the book, but did not answer, but frowned, and after a while, Fang said: "I have something to hand over to you." ”
