The little eunuch sighed and said: "Yes, who made the prince a celebrity in front of His Majesty, the status of the prince in His Majesty's heart is extraordinary, so even the prince and grandson, when they see the prince, they will tolerate three points." ”
Hearing this, Emperor Beiyan's face was a little ugly, but he still nodded and said, "What you said is reasonable." ”
Wang Zhi on the side always paid close attention to the figures of the two, wanting to know what the two were saying, but the remaining little eunuchs refused to give up, and stepped forward with brocade in their hands and said: "Father-in-law, you can be regarded as coming back, before the end of the year, the envoys of various countries have sent a lot of treasures, and the minions have not dared to report it, so they have kept it for you." ”
Emperor Beiyan turned his head, and happened to hear the words of the little eunuch, and anger rose in his heart, but he couldn't believe it.
In the heart of Emperor Beiyan, Wang Zhi has always been a loyal eunuch who has done his best for him, more trustworthy than those intriguing courtiers, and he is tired of court affairs on weekdays, and he also likes to talk to him.
Whenever he has something he wants to do but can't do, he will rather bear the notoriety and solve it for himself, and it is precisely because of this that he has always thought that he has done too much for him, so he will provoke the resentment of some ill-intentioned people, and then the person who plays Wang Zhi will always be regarded by him as a traitor.
But when I went out of the palace today, everyone in the palace only knew the king but not the king!
It can be seen what kind of situation this Wang Zhi's power in the palace has reached, and from the words with the little eunuch, it was learned that Wang Zhi not only privately swallowed the goods paid tribute by various countries, but also dared to buy and sell official positions.
A mere seven-grade sesame official can buy and sell 500,000 taels of silver, over the years, because he believes in Wang Zhi, I don't know how many officials he has promoted, so how much money he has to collect!
Emperor Beiyan's mood was very annoyed, and then he thought that his prince and grandson had to endure it when they saw a eunuch, and their hearts were not good for a while.
Wang Zhi carefully observed Emperor Beiyan's expression, and felt a little uneasy in his heart.
Chu Luoyi saw Emperor Beiyan's reaction in his eyes, and sneered in his heart, once the emperor's suspicion arises, it will not disappear easily, if there is another fire at this time, I am afraid that Emperor Beiyan's prejudice against Wang Zhi will become deeper and deeper.
In this way, without the blessing of Emperor Beiyan, Wang Zhi is a eunuch, and decay is only a matter of time.
"Who gave you the audacity to use the tribute for your own sake!" Wang Zhi swept the expression of Emperor Beiyan and said angrily.
Several little eunuchs looked at each other for a while: "This..."
"Huh? Don't you understand what our family is saying? ”
"The minion knows his mistake.. The minions know their mistakes..."
One by one, the eunuchs held the brocade in their hands, and staggered away a little.
Emperor Beiyan pursed his lips and said nothing, and the folding fan in his hand opened and closed, with a bit of deep meaning.
Wang Zhi threw his sleeves and knelt in front of Emperor Beiyan and said: "Your Majesty, they are all minions who are mismanaged, and this kind of thing happens in the palace, and the minions have failed Your Majesty's trust, and it is really hard to escape the blame!" ”
Emperor Beiyan pursed his lips and was silent.
Seeing this, Chu Luoyi said: "Your Majesty, the prince is diligent and diligent on a fair day, and manages all things in the palace in an orderly manner, which is obvious to everyone, and now that the father-in-law is in a high position, and he is deeply respected by His Majesty, there will naturally be countless people who want to flatter and please, and it is not easy for the father-in-law to uphold his own integrity, as for these slaves who have the heart of tending to be inflammatory, Your Majesty is really not suitable to attribute the blame to the prince-in-law." ”
Wang Zhi listened to Chu Luoyi's words in his ears, but he did not have trust because of this, he has not been able to determine who Chu Luoyi is, at first he thought that Chu Luoyi conspired with Bei Liuyun, but before Bei Liuyun put Chu Luoyi into the prison, and then Chu Luoyi was named a palace concubine, and then he had an affair with Beiliuhai, he saw Bei Liuyun's handwriting.
From these aspects, Chu Luoyi and Beiliuyun really don't seem to be accomplices, and now Chu Luoyi is a palace concubine, if he helps Beiliuyun ascend the throne as the emperor, it is best to become a queen mother with no real power, and compared with the current emperor's favorite concubine, it seems to be inferior.
But somehow, with his keen intuition for many years, he always felt that Chu Luoyi had a lot of relationship with Beiliuyun, and an informant had reported that Zhou Wang had been to Luoyue Palace not long before his death, which also made him feel that Zhou Wang's death was inextricably linked to her.
Emperor Beiyan looked at Wang Zhi for a moment, and then sighed: "That's it, Concubine Luo is right, a seven-rank petty official still has countless people vying to curry favor, not to mention Wang Zhi, you are in an important position, these things are always unavoidable, but you have to be careful in everything, don't let me down." ”
Wang Zhi came back to his senses and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart: "The slave must live up to His Majesty's trust, and he will not give up!" ”
Emperor Beiyan nodded, and the group chatted again.
After successfully leaving the palace gate, Emperor Beiyan sent Wang Zhi away in some name, without Wang Zhi, Chu Luoyi's mood was a lot brighter.
Tilting his head slightly, squinting at the sky as if it had been washed by water, the long-lost sun shone on the streets, and the pedestrians passing through the stream had a different busyness and hustle and bustle than the palace.
Emperor Beiyan was in a good mood: "The scenery outside this palace is really different from that inside the palace, and as soon as it came out, I felt a lot more comfortable." ”
Chu Luoyi took a shawl from the hand of Guard Lu, tied it on the shoulders of Emperor Beiyan and said, "Your Majesty's body has just improved recently, and now the spring is cold, don't catch the wind and cold." ”
Emperor Beiyan looked at the woman who was not close to him, lowered his eyes, tied his collar with a pair of bare hands, the sun sprinkled on her hair, smudged into gold, and her fair skin was almost transparent, with a thrilling beauty.
Emperor Beiyan didn't dare to speak, as if he was afraid of disturbing something, so he watched quietly, looking at the focused woman in front of him.
Chu Luoyi helped him tidy up his clothes and said, "It's okay." ”
Just as she was about to leave, Emperor Beiyan suddenly grabbed her hand tightly: "Concubine Luo.."
Chu Luoyi was slightly stunned, raised his eyes and looked at Emperor Beiyan with some confusion: "Your Majesty? ”
"You.. Wouldn't it be strange to me.. Trapped by your side? But I can't give it to you.."
"The concubine believes that all that His Majesty can give to the concubine has been given to the concubine, in this case, what more can the concubine ask for..."
Emperor Beiyan's eyes flashed with emotion, and the hand holding Chu Luoyi tightened: "Luoluo, as long as I am there for a day, no one can hurt you." ”
Chu Luoyi chuckled and nodded, but did not speak.
Emperor Beiyan saw that she was silent, thinking that she didn't believe what she said: "Luo Luo.. I.."
Chu Luoyi didn't give Emperor Beiyan a chance to finish speaking, turned around and pulled him forward: "Master, if you don't leave, it will be dark." ”
Emperor Beiyan was a little distracted, put away the folding fan, and strode up: "Wait for me..."
After the group left, Beiliuyun slowly walked out from behind the stone lion in front of the palace gate, looking at the backs of several people, his eyes were cold and cold.
And at this moment, the fish is coming out of the Liuyun Hall with a harmless face.
After coming to a dense forest and waiting for a while, a palace maid hurriedly came: "Miss." ”
"What did my brother say?" The fish said nervously.
"Young master, please rest assured, everything has been arranged, this time Concubine Luo will definitely stay outside the palace and never come back!" A ruthless color also flashed in the palace maid's eyes.
Yu'er hooked the corners of her lips, and ecstasy flashed in her eyes, but she didn't forget to speak: "Go back and tell my brother, don't let Your Majesty find out that it is someone sent by my Jiang family, let alone involve His Royal Highness the Nine." ”
The palace maid nodded and said, "Miss, don't worry, the young master knows that you will ask this, but the young master has already arranged everything, and Your Majesty will never suspect us." ”
An irrepressible excitement rose in Yu'er's heart, her eyes widened again, and she grabbed the hand of the palace maid and said, "She's not coming back, is she?" ”
The palace maid nodded vigorously, and then the fish withdrew her hand and walked back and forth in the forest, and there seemed to be a faint uneasiness in her heart.
Walking through the streets of Beiyan, Chu Luoyi had already let go of Emperor Beiyan's hand.
Although Emperor Beiyan was a little reluctant, he also knew that Chu Luoyi was wearing men's clothes at the moment, and if the two of them were pulling on the street, they were afraid that they would be regarded as having a good Longyang.
Chu Luoyi walked beside Emperor Beiyan with Xiao Liuzi, and occasionally followed Emperor Beiyan around to look at the vendors and jugglers along the street.
"This objective, you are really good eyesight, this porcelain bowl, but my ancestors handed down, is the bowl used by the emperor of the previous dynasty, you think, the bowl used by the emperor is absolutely rare. Although it is said that the previous dynasty has perished, this is definitely a genuine Nanyao fine porcelain, you look at this texture.."
A vendor holding a porcelain bowl was explaining to a middle-aged man, because his eloquence was too good and his name was too big, which attracted many people to stop and watch.
"Let's go, let's go over and take a look, and see what kind of bowl the former emperor used." Emperor Beiyan turned his head to Chu Luoyi and said.
Then the two approached the crowd together, looking for a gap, and Guard Lu and Xiao Liuzi were vigilant on the side, and the angle of the two of them happened to be able to see the style of the porcelain bowl in the vendor's hand.
The porcelain bowl is well-made, there is a colored glazed dragon pattern on it, under the dragon pattern is an auspicious round pattern to do the bottom, red and yellow meet, the golden dragon is circling, it looks very exquisite, but it seems that because of some years, and after war, the color glaze is somewhat faded, slightly old.
"This bowl is just such a one, if it weren't for the fact that the kid in the family was sick and really desperate, I would never take out this bowl and sell it."
Everyone talked for a while, and the middle-aged man who stopped stroked his beard, and he was very hesitant to see it.
The man picked up the bowl again and looked at it carefully, and the vendor on the side rolled his eyes, seeing that the man hesitated, and immediately snatched the bowl over: "Don't forget it, I'll go to the pawnshop and press it a few dollars, and when I have enough money, I can redeem it, if I sell you today, I'm really a little sorry for the ancestors and ancestors." ”
"You let me see again... Look again..."
"Don't look at it, I won't sell this bowl today, the more I think about it, the more unreliable I feel... It's not for sale.."
The middle-aged man was a little entangled, gritted his teeth, and said, "Hey. Don't you be in a hurry... I buy. I'll just buy it.."
"This... It's not going to work.." The vendor was still a little hesitant, clutching the bowl in his hand tightly, refusing to let go.
"Didn't you say it all just now, three hundred taels of silver, you can't deny it." When the middle-aged man saw the vendor hesitate, he gritted his teeth and spoke.
As soon as the words of three hundred taels of silver came out, there was an uproar in the field, three hundred taels of silver is enough for ordinary people to live a lifetime, but this bowl costs three hundred taels, but it is really a sky-high price.
"It's... This.."
Seeing the vendor's hesitation, the middle-aged man directly reached out and snatched the bowl, took out the silver ticket in one hand, and said, "You can't keep your promises, I have clearly said it just now." ”
The vendor was about to argue, looked at the onlookers, gritted his teeth and said, "That's it, I'll sell it to you!" If it weren't for my son's illness, I would never have sold it to you..."
The middle-aged man was overjoyed, and hurriedly took out the silver ticket, which the vendor was about to take.
A hand with a golden tripod ring grabbed the front and took the silver ticket.
"Huh? Where did this come from..."The vendor raised his eyes to look at Emperor Beiyan and Chu Luoyi.
Holding the silver ticket in his hand, Emperor Beiyan said to the vendor: "You just said that this bowl is your family's ancestor, and you said that this bowl belongs to the emperor of the previous dynasty, are you the heir of the emperor of the previous dynasty?" ”
The vendor looked the Northern Yan Emperor up and down, and when he saw that he was wearing a dark robe, he knew how powerful he was, and couldn't help laughing: "That's not the case, when the capital fell, the eunuchs and palace maids in the palace ran away with the property in the palace. ”
Emperor Beiyan raised his eyebrows, picked up the bowl and examined it carefully, and said at the same time: "But as far as I know, the ancestor emperor had an order that all the palace artifacts obtained from the seizure shall not be privately hidden, and they will all be handed over, and the things that have been seized by the people must be returned, otherwise once it is found, it will be copied all over the house, is it possible that your ancestors have hidden the palace property privately?" ”
A touch of hatred flashed in the merchant's eyes, and he was a little speechless for a while, and he was about to speak, but he saw Emperor Beiyan say to the middle-aged man: "You have to think clearly, if you buy this thing back home, I am afraid that it will also cause disaster, not to mention that now in front of everyone's eyes, I am afraid that it will also cause trouble." ”
The middle-aged man saw that Emperor Beiyan had an extraordinary bearing, white and tender, obviously from a good background, thinking that he might be more insightful than himself, and his heart couldn't help but feel a little loose.
The vendor rolled his eyes and winked at the guy next to him.
The guy pinched his waist and shook a piece of sermon on his shoulder: "This brother, I don't think you are authentic?" As you must have known that this porcelain bowl is good, do you want to send this objective away and then buy it yourself? ”
The man in the middle suddenly looked vigilant, and the eyes of the people around him who looked at Emperor Beiyan also became chatty for a while.
"Why is this man like this... I thought he was a good guy."
"Yes, it turned out that he wanted to occupy this porcelain bowl, and he actually said such righteous words, he didn't look like a good person at first glance.."
Emperor Beiyan's face darkened, and he said, "If I am willing to pay more money to buy this bowl, then why do you refuse to let go and insist on selling this bowl to him?" ”
The people were silent for a while, waiting for an answer.
The peddler said: "Although I am greedy for some silver, but when I see you dressed up to be rich and powerful, if you want to take it by force in private, I am afraid that I will not be able to earn a penny, I can only eat this dumb loss, where to provoke a character like you, it is better to sell it to this objective at a low price, at least the money is guaranteed." ”
The surrounding people also thought that what the vendors said was reasonable, and they accused Emperor Beiyan even more for a while.
Emperor Beiyan didn't expect that he would be kind enough to help, but he was distorted by the heat like this, and he was not light, and the middle-aged man snatched back the bowl in Emperor Beiyan's hand at this time, and said: "Thank you for your kindness, this is our family's business, so I won't worry about you."
Emperor Beiyan was not lightly angry, and a triumphant smile flashed in the merchant's eyes, and he said, "This brother, I wonder if this silver ticket can be returned to Zaixia?" ”
Emperor Beiyan was holding a silver ticket in his hand, and at this moment it was neither loose nor loose.
The surrounding people have already begun to denounce: "Isn't this person planning to rob property in broad daylight? ”
"Shhhh Didn't you see that he was surrounded by guards, and it would be bad for me to find you when I turned around..."
Seeing this, Guard Lu said, "You..."
Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Chu Luoyi stepped forward and said without hurry: "According to the records of porcelain history, Nanyao fine porcelain fills the Yunlong sea map with yellow glaze, and draws the outline of the lines with materials, with strong color contrast and vivid patterns, and is famous for its enduring color. The porcelain bowl in the hand of Mr. is delicate, but it has faded, if it fades naturally, it cannot be Nanyao fine porcelain. ”
The vendor swallowed and spitted, his eyes locked tightly on Chu Luoyi and said, "Where did you come from!" What do you know? ”
Chu Luoyi said with a smile: "I look at the porcelain bowl is not naturally fading, but you think that the porcelain bowl is old, and after the war, the color will inevitably decline, but you don't know that all the Nanyao fine porcelain in the real palace will not fade, so you are a little self-defeating." ”
The people around talked for a while, and seemed to be a little convinced by Chu Luoyi's words.
The vendor was a little annoyed and said angrily: "I see that the two of you are clearly united and want to swallow my porcelain bowl, and use the pretext to coax everyone!" ”
When Emperor Beiyan heard this, he directly threw the porcelain bowl on the ground, and the intact porcelain bowl suddenly cracked into pieces: "In this way, can it be proved that we have no intention of this porcelain bowl at all?" ”
The vendor and the guy looked at each other, trying to mess around.
Chu Luoyi spoke again: "Look at its tire glaze again, it's just ordinary?" Green glaze, the process used is just scratching and dyeing, if you are not satisfied, you can ask the shopkeeper of the pawnshop to identify. ”
When the middle-aged man heard this, he was immediately shocked, he didn't know anything about porcelain, he planned to take a closer look and make a decision, if it wasn't for the urging of this vendor, he wouldn't have been as hasty as a ghost.
"What this boy said is reasonable..."The middle-aged man squatted on the ground, carefully examining the fragments of the porcelain bowl as he spoke.
The vendor's eyes flashed with ruthlessness when they looked at Emperor Beiyan and Chu Luoyi, but they didn't speak for a long time because of the large number of people.
"I don't want it anymore.. I don't want this porcelain bowl anymore. Give me back my silver ticket. After a closer look, the middle-aged man quickly repented.
When Emperor Beiyan saw this, his mood suddenly improved a lot.
The surrounding people felt a little guilty for a while, and began to condemn the vendors.
The merchants fled, and the people turned their eyes to Emperor Beiyan and Chu Luoyi and said: "It turns out that this old man is an old man, but we were deceived by profiteers, and we almost wronged this old man." ”
"Yes, this son is young, not only handsome, but also knowledgeable, he is really a dragon and phoenix among people."
The middle-aged man took back his silver ticket and thanked him as he left, as if he was afraid that the vendor would finally settle the account on his head.
