Chapter 17: The Upper Performance
In the Jun'an Palace, Emperor Tianwei, who was over fifty years old, was lying on a soft couch, holding the folds of the ministers in his hands.
The personal attendant Cao Gonggong waited by his side.
Although Emperor Tianwei is nearly fifty years old, his spirit still looks good. Recently, the dragon's body has not been good, and his complexion looks much worse than before.
At this time, he was dressed in a bright yellow robe, which was casually put on his body, and a thick blanket was placed on the soft couch.
From time to time, he would cough softly.
Outside the door, a cold wind suddenly rose. Outside the window, a little cold wind came in.
"Your Majesty, it's time for you to take a break." Gonggong Cao looked at the time and persuaded Emperor Tianwei.
As the Son of Heaven, Emperor Tianwei can be said to have done his best for the Celestial Empire, even if he is sick, he still cares about the court.
Emperor Tianwei slammed the fold in his hand on the small table.
The anger on his face couldn't help but ignite a little.
Although Gonggong Cao saw that there was something different, he didn't dare to say more.
"Your Majesty, Concubine Yue sent someone to send a pear pipa porridge, saying that it is the most phlegm-clearing, do you want to eat some?"
Emperor Tianwei let out a long sigh.
"No matter how good the porridge is, how can it compare to Concubine Mei's hawthorn and pear mandarin duck porridge?"
Gonggong Cao was silent and no longer spoken.
"Look at this ......"
Emperor Tianwei waved his hand casually and threw the fold he had seen just now into the hands of Gonggong Cao.
Gonggong Cao was worried, he was an internal servant, how could he dare to look at the excerpts given by his subordinates to the emperor.
"Your Majesty, the minions don't dare."
"I said let you see, you just watch, where did all this nonsense come from?" Tianwei Emperor Long's face was displeased.
Gonggong Cao had to open it and take a few looks, but it didn't matter, and at that time, his expression became nervous.
This is an excerpt of Liu Zhen, a fourth-grade official, who actually played Emperor Tianwei and asked him to severely punish Su Zimo, the fifth prince of the fifth prince, who entered Beijing without a holy decree.
Emperor Tianwei was happy to see his biological son, whom he hadn't seen for fifteen years, and this Liu Zhen didn't know whether he was alive or dead.
"Your Majesty, you can't punish the five princes, he is filial, he hasn't seen his father for fifteen years, and he can't let go of any son." As soon as Gonggong Cao's words came out, he was in the heart of Emperor Tianwei.
He was old, almost fifty years old. Over the years, he has missed those people and things in the past more and more.
Originally, Su Zimo had no intention of returning to Beijing, which was indeed wrong. However, this Celestial Empire is the world of Emperor Tianwei, and he is right when he says yes.
That Liu Zhen must have been instigated by others to dare to be so unholy and provoke the dissatisfaction of Emperor Tianwei.
Nowadays, the court of the Celestial Empire is divided into three factions, one is the southern faction headed by the prime minister Zhou Mingjing, the other is the northern faction headed by Taiwei Shangguanzheng, and there is also a faction in the middle headed by Li Jianchun, the secretary of the military department.
These three factions together complement the Celestial Empire. For the sake of government and politics, sometimes it is tense, and sometimes it is peaceful. Under the balance of Emperor Tianwei, nothing major has happened over the years.
Liu Zhen has only been in the court for five years, and his roots in the court are not deep, and he has always sat in the position of the fourth grade official. usually rarely speaks, but now, on the matter of Su Zimo's return to Beijing, he has jumped out.
"Your Majesty, yesterday, the slave accidentally said that he missed his mouth, saying that the emperor was worried about Mei Niangniang's hawthorn and pear mandarin duck porridge, which let the five princes know, and this morning, the five princes personally cooked the porridge, and said that they would make a bowl of hawthorn and pear mandarin duck porridge for the emperor that belongs to the memories of that year." Grandpa Cao's words are a bit too much.
Emperor Tianwei's face swayed with a smile. But he blamed him.
"A dignified prince, he actually cooks porridge, what kind of system does it become?"
Gonggong Cao saw that a smile appeared on Emperor Tianwei's face, and the hanging heart could be regarded as letting go.
This world is still Emperor Tianwei's, whether to punish the five princes or not, he has the final say.
"I heard that the one named Liu Zhen has only one son under his knees?"
Gonggong Cao nodded: "If you go back to the emperor, Lord Liu gave birth to five daughters, and it was easy to get a baby son, then Liu Gongzi just turned thirteen this year, and Lord Liu spoiled him very much." ”
Emperor Tianwei's brows furrowed.
"I'm thirteen years old, it's time to contribute to the imperial court, pass on my will, Liu Zhen has done his best for the Celestial Empire over the years, it's not easy. I am grateful for his loyalty, and I named Liu Gongzi as the Jiupin Foreign Committee, and I will go with Yuan Yuxuan to contribute to the country......"
Gonggong Cao was startled, and he was relieved.
General Yuan Yuxuan is the general of the Celestial Empire, has been stationed in the border city, guarding the west gate for the Celestial Empire, and now, Emperor Tianwei sent that Liu Gongzi to the border city, this is not clear that he is not satisfied with Liu Zhen's performance?
If you ask me to punish my own son, I will send your son to the border city, and I will give you a taste of the separation of father and son.
Emperor Tianwei is not clearly protecting the calf.
"The emperor is gracious, Lord Liu must be happy......" Gonggong Cao posted.
"One more sentence, without the Holy Order, you must not return to Beijing." Emperor Tianwei got up and commanded casually.
Come to think of it, this Liu Zhen is afraid that he will regret his death. What does it mean to steal chickens is not to eat rice, to be an errand in front of the Son of Heaven, the most important thing is to see the Sacred Heart act. His eyesight was almost weak, and he was bewitched, and this should be the punishment he deserved.
At this moment, a little eunuch entered, and in his hand, he brought a bowl of porridge.
The porridge was still steaming, and the smell of hawthorn came to the face.
"Your Majesty, the fifth prince boiled a bowl of porridge for you, he said, let you taste it first, is it that taste."
Gonggong Cao approached, took the porridge bowl, and handed it to Emperor Tianwei.
"Your Majesty, this porridge is really fragrant."
Emperor Tianwei endured the joy in his heart and took a sip.
"It's really a little bit of that smell, it's a little bit hot."
"Your Majesty, the fifth prince said, let you give more opinions, he must make you a bowl of porridge that tasted back then." This little eunuch is also very good at looking at his eyes and talking.
Now, Emperor Tianwei likes the five princes, and they try to pat a little bit of sycophancy.
"Xiao Caozi, change clothes, I want to go and see how the five princes in this hall get into the kitchen to make porridge." Emperor Tianwei's love for the five princes couldn't help but show it on his face.
"Yes." Gonggong Cao responded and brought a set of civilian clothes to Emperor Tianwei.
Then, Gonggong Cao glanced at the little eunuch who had brought the porridge just now, and the little eunuch retreated.
In a small courtyard in the harem, Su Zimo was surrounding the stove, carefully placing the pot on the stove, and holding a pu fan in his hand, fanning vigorously.
Su Zimo's face was full of charcoal ash. It looks a bit embarrassing.
He casually wiped his face with his hand and continued to fan the fire in the stove.
The palace maid came over and said, "Fifth prince, these rough tasks should be left to us, you can just command them on the side." ”
Su Zimo waved his hand and replied, "No, I ...... used to doing this."
"However, you are the prince and the body of a daughter......" the palace maid was worried.
Su Zimo is the prince in the end, and these jobs really shouldn't be done by him.
