Chapter 53: Quietly Mutual

"Mother, you really can't go in......"

In the morning, I took a nap in the main hall, and the noise at the door woke people from their sleep. When he opened his eyes, Bei Yuliang also slept unsteadily on the soft couch, turning over and frowning from time to time.

I helped him fold the quilt, got up and went out to investigate, Xu was lying for too long, and he was dizzy and unstable together. happened to fall towards Kitayu Liangyi's bed, but fortunately reacted in time, supporting his hands on both sides of him, only a fist away from him.

Beiyu Liangyi's eyelashes trembled slightly, his breathing was steady, and he was still asleep.

Cautiously raised his arm and walked out of the temple with light steps.

The air outside was cold, and the confused mind was instantly cleared.

Mu Han stood at the door with the maid, wearing a grass green water mist pleated skirt, a solid fox fur shawl, a light bun, a warm jade hibiscus in the hairpin, and forehead makeup at the center of the eyebrows.

Such a beautiful person is like a poisonous scorpion in heart.

As soon as I think of Yinyue, I can't wait for her to go underground immediately to bury her.

"Niangniang, the emperor is still resting, you really can't go in." Li Mingquan looked helpless and bowed to wait.

"I'm just going to deliver porridge and don't disturb the emperor's rest." There was a hint of impatience in her tone.

"The emperor has ordered that no one is allowed to enter, but if Niangniang feels that she is not in this range, she can naturally enter." I turned sideways to get out of the way.

The maid beside her stomped her feet and said angrily: "You dare to say that our master is not a human!" ”

Li Mingquan snorted, didn't hold back, and laughed secretly. I couldn't help but laugh at her scolding her maid for being a fool.

"Miss Jin, there is a saying I don't know if you have heard." Mu Han's eyes rolled, looking forward to his life, and a mocking smile appeared on the corner of his lips. "That is, dogs fight people."

"I've not only heard this sentence, but I've seen it, isn't this right in front of you."

"You!" She was angry and speechless for a while. "Get out of the way!"

Mu Han took a step forward, pulled my sleeve, the strength of his hand was very strong, just grabbed my wrist, the wrist was the gauze that had just been changed, that time in order to show loyalty to the blood oath ruthlessly, at this time she grabbed it, the wound that had not yet scabbed was oozing blood again, and I took a breath of cold air in pain.

"What are you doing?" A cold sound made her let go.

"Your Majesty...... The concubine brought porridge to the emperor, and the concubine saw that the emperor was tired of traveling and driving...... "Mu Han immediately put on a lovely appearance, and she wanted to cry first.

Bei Yuliang obviously didn't want to give her this face, and the expression on his face didn't change. "Do you want to be punished again and think about it behind closed doors?"

Mu Han bit her lip, Ying Ying bowed, said a word to the concubine to retire, and returned to the palace with the bowl of blood swallow porridge.

Li Mingquan sighed and looked at Mu Han's back faintly.

Bei Yuliang also asked, "Did she hurt you?" ”

I was stunned for a moment and replied, "No." ”

He rolled up my sleeves, and the blood stains on the gauze were very visible.

When he returned to the room, he untied the gauze, probably because the gauze was tied too tightly, and the flesh was attached to the gauze when the wound healed, and when it was untied, the pain was full of tears.

"How did it hurt?"

I recall the words I said in the Night Pavilion - 'I promise, absolutely no other thoughts, swear by blood.' If he is the enemy, Beiyu Jinchen and my Dark Night Pavilion are enemies, I will not be soft! The ripples in my heart rose slightly, in Liangxi, it is said that if you make a blood oath and fail to do it, it will be a disaster for a lifetime, and it will not be good for eternity.

"I accidentally hurt myself while peeling fruit."

He smiled slightly and said, "This lie is too far-fetched. I'll pretend to believe it, though. ”

He moves gently, medicates and bandages, and is as skilled as a doctor. "Don't touch the water these days, leave things like making tea to Zhiqiu, and when you're fine, add incense and talk to me."

I nodded, and he put the old gauze in order and helped me put my sleeves down.

He stared, and I thought there was something dirty on my face, so I couldn't help but wipe it with my sleeve, and it was only when my hand touched the veil that I realized that I was still wearing it.

"Didn't the secretary's room give you hairpins and other hair accessories?"

Today, I just curled my hair casually, and I didn't embellish it with hair accessories, I was originally this ghost, and I always felt that wearing this complicated and delicate hair ornament was a bit of an East. "Yes, I just think it's too heavy."

"It's not bad to see the hibiscus hosta that Mu Handai wears today, I ......" When he spoke, his eyes were like soaked in soft water, and a glance at it would make people fall in.

"Su Jin is a slave, wearing those things, he doesn't dare to lower his head, how can he work?"

"Hibiscus flowers, only you can wear them." He said.

Li Mingquan took a letter from the guard at the door and handed it over, Bei Yuliang also opened it to see it, I stood beside him, and the contents of the letter were at a glance.

The general content is that corruption has become common after the flood, but the big officials protect the small officials, the officials protect each other, and the punishment of the small officials can kill the chickens and monkeys, but it is inevitable to startle the snakes, and the actions of the righteous army are really buying people's hearts, and they must not be left alone. They hoped that the emperor would come up with a perfect solution.

The tip of his right finger tapped rhythmically on his knee, as if he was contemplating.

"Is the emperor ready to send troops to get rid of the rebels?" Li Mingquan asked.

He shook his head, "The war is together, it is the people who suffer, they have been broken in the flood, their wives and their wives are separated, we start a war at this time, although in addition to the aftermath, but it aggravates the disaster of the people, loses the hearts of the people and loses the world, and Beiyan will not last long." ”

"Then, rectify the ...... of the officials"

Bei Yuliang also rolled his eyes and asked me, "Jin'er, what do you think?" ”

I was stunned, "The harem must not be ......"

He smiled, "The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, are you a member of the harem?" If you want, I don't matter. ”

"Su Jin thinks that rectifying the rule of officials can be divided into two steps." He nodded and motioned for me to continue, and I relieved myself and said, "In the case of the flooded magistrate in the south, it is not necessary to remove from his post, he must have been appointed as a talented person, but he was only tempted by money. We can give them a small punishment to let them know that the court does not know and will not let it go. Second, a subordinate can be sent to serve as a local deputy, mainly to supervise their work style. After a pause, I carefully examined his expression, and saw that he had no other reaction before he dared to continue: "The second step, for the important members of the court who protect the lower officials, they will rise and descend secretly, and rule by rectification. The top and bottom are consistent, although it cannot be eradicated, but it should have some effect. ”

"Makes sense." He folded the letter and asked Li Mingquan to prepare to convene the official Long Chengdian for deliberations in the afternoon. "But this is easier said than done. I don't know how many people I have to offend. ”

My aunt asked me to gain his trust and not show too much concern in the government, but also to find opportunities to get in touch with the government's speech, so that he could let his guard down and get more useful information from him.

In the afternoon, the ministers came and went, the gate of the Longcheng Hall was closed, and I waited outside the door, I really wanted to go in, but in terms of rules, it was not reasonable.

Looking at the meaning of Beiyu Liangyi, it is to ignore the rebels for the time being, which is both good and bad news for us, so that we can have sufficient time to prepare, but there is no reason to provoke a war, and it is difficult to convince the public.

The entrance of the Longcheng Hall was solemn, and there was only the upright pine and cypress and the majesty of the doorpost. A small rose-red figure flashed in the distance, and soon came up to me.

"Where's my father?" Yue Jiu blinked his big eyes, and his black and white pupils were clear and clear.

I crouched down so I could look at her at eye level. "The emperor is discussing matters inside, the princess can wait a while."

Yuejiu tugged at the woolen flowers on her chest, her rose-red top was just the right match for her fair skin and cuteness, and her bright face just wanted people to pinch it. "You also wear a veil? A few months ago, Wanyi Niangniang danced on stage and wore a veil, and the clothes were so good-looking. ”

I smiled and replied, "The princess's clothes are also beautiful." ”

"What's my sister's name?"

"Slave Sujin."

Yuejiu nodded, and focused on the woolen flowers.

After waiting for a while, the door of the main hall opened, a stream of heating rushed out, and many important ministers of the court walked out one after another, all with solemn expressions.

Yuejiu jumped into the main hall, shouting his father as he ran. Bei Yuliang was also giving away, and when he squatted down, he was bumped into Yuejiu's arms, he picked up Yuejiu, and the haze on his face was swept away.

Yuejiu, as the only princess of Beiyan, has enjoyed all the favor, and many people in the royal family have given great hope to the child in the womb of the concubine, but as for whether she can be born safely, it is another matter.

"Father, I want to play." Yuejiu writhed and twisted in his arms, unable to be quiet.

Bei Yuliang also asked, "Where do you want to go?" You are not allowed to leave the palace. ”

Yuejiu pursed her lips and muttered, "The flowers in the plum garden are all blooming, and Xiao Jiu wants to go there." ”

It's been a long time since I last went to Plum Garden, and at that time, Mu Han was just Concubine Li's maid, and there was no such-for-tat confrontation between us.

However, the plum garden was created by the first emperor for a dancing girl, this dancing girl was born enchanting, and was named a concubine only because of a dance, which is a very shocking thing in history, even an official woman can not be a concubine in one step, and she became the emperor's concubine with no background.

But the good times did not last long, when the first emperor was seriously ill, the empress of the first emperor followed the criminal law of the Western Han Dynasty and treated Mrs. Qi with the criminal law, and treated Concubine Mei as a human being.

This kind of torture. That is, the limbs are chopped off, the eyes are gouged out, the ears are injected with copper to make them deaf, the tongue is cut off with a medicine into the throat, so that it cannot speak, and then thrown into the hut, and some have to cut off the nose, shave the hair, shave the eyebrows, and then apply a medicine, and never grow hair again, if the skin falls off, or dies in the execution, the executioner will be scorned, and even lose his job.

Concubine Mei fell, everyone felt unlucky, and as soon as there was always a haunting in the plum garden, it was deserted, and almost no one wanted to enter, and Yuejiu's proposal should make him feel helpless for Bei Yuliang.
