Three watches.

The imperial tomb is heavy, and the night is very quiet, and even the insects and birds do not move.

Zhao Zhen rumbled in his stomach, slightly hungry, so he simply got up from the bed and poured a cup of tea, and took two pieces of residual dim sum from the plate and stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it slowly.

When Chen Lin heard the movement, he came in and hurriedly changed a cup of hot tea, frowned, and said: "Your Majesty has been working hard for days, and it is normal to be hungry at night, so let the imperial dining room cook some food, how can you bear it?" ”

Zhao Zhen had a bitter face, reached out and took a box from the side of the pillow, and opened it for Chen Lin to see: "Look, from the year before last to this year, I didn't have half a cent of the money left in the private treasury, and now I still owe Ruohua three thousand taels of silver. ”

In the past, Chen Lin never interjected in anything involving ministers, government affairs, etc., but it was nothing to talk about the county lord.

"Your Majesty is joking again, the county lord clearly said that the silver is earned back, and the province will never be able to save it back."

Zhao Zhen sighed again: "No way, who let me only spend money, not make money at all, I don't have any money in my hand, I don't dare to speak loudly, since my private kuto gave Ruohua, I really feel guilty every penny I spend, no way, let me spend the money, that is, it's gone, but let our family Ruohua spend it, spend one or two to earn back ten taels." ”

The master and servant laughed a few words, and Zhao Zhen's hunger was gone, mainly because he was a vegetarian and worked hard these days, so he was easy to get hungry, but eating less is also a way to maintain health.

"I remember that Ruohua is also twenty-five this year?"

Zhao Zhen calculated, "It's not twenty-five, ten days ago, she also told me not to forget her birthday, and I have to show my love for her, the lord of Changping, otherwise business will not be good." ”

Chen Lin said with a smile: "Your Majesty still has a batch of pearls in the library, which are in good condition, and they are suitable for young girls." ”

"Still young......

Zhao Zhen sighed, "It's already past the year of Huaxin, what can I do!" ”

It is said that the emperor's daughter is not worried about marrying, and the emperor's sister is not worried about marrying, only with the emperor's favor, the county lord is also not worried about marrying.

But the marriage of his family Ruohua is not a young talent in his phase who can be pulled over to get married casually.

Li Yuanhao of Western Xia once wrote to ask to marry the lord of Changping, this marriage, he dared to agree?

Let's say again-"As far as Li Yuanhao's virtue is concerned, do others say that he is heroic, and he thinks that he can be worthy of my Ruohua?" That old bald man, I really dare to think, hum, dream! ”

Chen Lin waited for him for a long time, and he was not afraid of his majesty, so he coaxed him a few words, and finally coaxed people back to sleep.

The emperor slept, but Chen Lin couldn't sleep yet, so he came out to check the clothes and accessories that His Majesty was going to wear tomorrow, and even picked up the shoes and looked at them himself.

The night is becoming quieter.

Before dawn, Zhao Zhen couldn't sleep for a while, so he got up again, and did not set up a guard of honor, only let Chen Lin play the lantern and go to the main hall to write a sacrificial text.

The sun is rising.

Zhao Zhen took a group of royal relatives to offer sacrifices, completed various procedures, and stayed alone for half an hour before he came out, looked up at the sky, and called Prince Xian and King Ningjun to go to the side hall together.

Prince Xian is seventy years old this year, highly respected, according to the seniority, Zhao Zhen has to call him an uncle, first let Chen Lin move a chair over, let the prince sit down, and then he muttered: "King Ningjun, Zixi is also not a small boss, his marriage, do you have any regulations?" ”

King Ning Jun was stunned.

He is just an idle prince, without merit and virtue, although His Majesty is benevolent and extremely decent to the Zhao clan, but his friendship with the emperor has not yet reached the point of caring about the marriage of his children.

But at this time, when the emperor asked, King Ningjun couldn't help but answer, and after careful consideration, he hesitated and didn't dare to bully the king, so he could only say: "Back to Your Majesty, Xiao'er once had a marriage contract with the lord of Changping, but ......"

"But Changping doesn't look down on him." Zhao Zhen frowned, "Although Zixi has no bad deeds, he is really childish, and he has no merits to boast of, and he is indeed not a good match for the county lord of Changping." ”

King Ningjun: "......"

"Then don't drag it out, it's not good to delay Zixi." Zhao Zhen sighed, "Keep a low profile, the two families will dissolve the marriage contract, return the marriage book, and the man and the woman will marry, each of them will be cheap." ”

King Ningjun: "...... The minister knew about it, and when he returned to Beijing, he did the matter. ”

Zhao Zhen nodded, his mind turned, and he looked at Prince Xian: "Uncle knows more about the clansmen, but I know which family has more outstanding, and there is not much requirement to come, I don't ask for the other party's literary comparison, and the martial arts can retreat from the enemy, as long as the character is good, the appearance is beautiful, the demeanor is good, the family environment is simple, and the family members are all good-natured. ”

King Ningjun: "......"

Coming out of the emperor, Prince Xian was fine, he had been smiling, King Ningjun had mixed feelings in his heart, and he didn't know what to say for a while, and when he turned around, he heard from the next person that Zhao Zixi returned to Beijing alone, and when he entered the door, he asked the princess to give him a retreat, and he was even more awkward: "Go, bring that kid to me, and let him kowtow to the first emperor." ”

Zhao Zixi was full of sorrow, and before he could find a chance to tell his father, he asked his father to send someone to catch him and reprimand him, and reprimanded him so much that he couldn't spit out half a word of what he wanted to say.

The imperial tomb is important, even if he is depressed, he can't show it on his face, and he even has to be cautious in his words and deeds, and he doesn't even dare to walk more than half a step.

On this day, there was a sudden snowfall, snowflakes flying, the cold wind was cold, and today was also the ninth day that Zhao Zhen came to the imperial tomb.

Zhao Zixi knelt behind a group of clan nobles, groggily listening to His Majesty reciting the sacrificial text, while reciting, he couldn't cry silently, and he couldn't help but think in his heart, as if His Majesty had to cry every year, and I don't know where those tears came from......

Thundered!

Zhao Zixi was stunned for a moment, he couldn't come back to his senses for a while, he didn't know what was going on, and the clan relatives were obviously confused.

After a while, everyone was terrified, only to see that the altar suddenly exploded, the smoke was billowing out, the high platform was toppling, and there was a tendency for the sky to fall apart, and countless guards rushed over to protect the emperor like crazy, Zhao Zhen was also shocked, and the whole person was shaking.

Before everyone could come back to their senses, another explosion was heard, and Zhao Zhen exclaimed in surprise, seeing countless iron filings flying towards his front door.

Some of the clan ministers below fainted, and some rushed forward frantically, trying to save the driver, but where was the time?

A black shadow flew into the altar from far and near, turned around in mid-air, hugged the emperor with one hand, and pushed it with the other, countless waves of qi, flames, and iron filings were like hitting a boulder, and none of them passed through the barrier.

"Husu!"

Zhao Zhen exhaled and wiped his sweat emptily.
