One hundred and sixty-four errands

King Wei looked at the two eunuchs of the inner palace who skillfully checked their breathing and pulse, and determined that Princess Mingshou was dead, one took out a piece of coarse linen silk cloth and shook it open, and the other skillfully pulled the other end, and covered the body of Princess Mingshou. Bayi Middle School? ???. 8?1 z? .? c?om

Xiao Ye smiled at King Chaowei and said, "Lord Wang, the little one is waiting for you to grow old, this place is dark enough." ”

King Wei now felt furious in his heart when he saw him laughing, one of these eunuchs is counted as one, and it is not a good thing. There are also eunuchs in the Wei Palace, but the Wei King never likes to let the eunuchs serve him closely.

He had a hard mouth, and walked out as soon as he shook his hand, but it was really dark outside, and King Wei almost tripped when he went up the stone steps, but Xiao Yeyan quickly helped him, otherwise King Wei's old face would be even more lost.

Since he accepted the favor of others, King Wei was embarrassed to pull a face at him, and when he went out and saw the light outside, King Wei sighed and asked casually: "How to deal with her future, the emperor must have an explanation, right?" ”

"The emperor has naturally explained." Xiao Ye politely asked: "The emperor has already gone back to the palace, it's not too early, the little one will ask someone to wait for you to leave the palace and return to the house?" ”

"No, no, I'll just go to Dehuamen, a few steps away."

"Then you go slowly, the little one has to go on another errand."

King Wei snorted and walked out of the courtyard door with his hands behind his back.

His shelf was only a few steps away, and as soon as he went out, he couldn't help but speed up his pace, and he didn't even have the courage to look back. God knows what else that eunuch is going to do? Most of them still go to kill.

Xiao Ye stood in place and watched him go with a smile, and when he couldn't see anyone, his smile suddenly disappeared as if it had been erased.

"Bad goods."

Don't look at King Wei who is now in charge of Zongzheng Temple, which is different from the ordinary idle royal family, but Xiao Ye really doesn't look down on him.

They are the ones who are clamoring to kill Princess Mingshou, and they are about to move seriously, and he is like that again. When Princess Mingshou was poisoned just now, he couldn't wait to raise his hand and plug his ears.

Xiao Ye also went out of the courtyard gate, and a middle-aged eunuch about the same age as Bai Hongqi came over and said respectfully, "Father-in-law Ye." He held the long box in his hand and handed it to him.

Xiao Ye first stretched out his hand to take it, but suddenly remembered something, rubbed his hand on his pants twice, and felt unsafe, so he picked up a sweat towel and wiped it, and then took the box.

He carefully held the box, passed through a palace gate, and entered another courtyard.

Unlike what is sung in the play, the emperor disposes of people who have committed serious crimes "into the prison" and "pushing them out of the noon gate" at every turn. The palace has its own place to hold these people, but they are not called prisons. The courtyard that Xiao Ye is entering now, separated by a high and strict palace wall, is where a raccoon is located in the palace, but it has not been used for a long time and is vacant. It's a remote and inaccessible place, and even if someone sets off firecrackers here, they are not afraid of being heard.

The eunuch standing at the gate of this courtyard silently pushed the door open, and Xiao Ye greeted the person in the room gently and politely.

The man turned his head, but it was not someone else, it was Zhang Qiheng, the former concubine.

Princess Mingshou rebelled, but the concubine did not participate in the rebellion, and also handed a very important list to the emperor. Therefore, the emperor disposed of the cadres involved and pardoned Zhang Qianheng.

Of course, he is not a colt anymore, and it is impossible for him to stay in Beijing or even become an official in the future. But according to Xiao Ye, even if the emperor plans to give him a reward as an official, this former colt does not have that heart.

In less than a month since the incident of Princess Mingshou, Zhang Qianheng's whole person has been thin and out of shape, and his clothes are hanging empty on his body, as if the wind will blow people away if the wind is stronger. There was no light in those eyes, and the whole person looked like the dead people Xiao Ye had dealt with today, except for one more breath.

"Zhang Gongzi has packed up, right? Shall we go? ”

Zhang Jiheng nodded, he didn't have any luggage to pack, so he came out empty-handed. However, Xiao Ye instructed people to pack a bag in advance, which was two changes of clothes, a pair of shoes, and some money, of course, the money was not much, but it was enough to wrap up the plate.

He couldn't leave the palace, he was only sent to the palace gate, and there were guards outside to take over.

At this time, Xiao Ye handed him the wooden box: "This is what our noble concubine entrusted to you." ”

Zhang Qianheng finally showed a look of indifference that was different from before, and his eyes fell on the box: "What is this?" ”

"Niangniang said, this is your thing, and it should be returned to its original owner." Xiaoye handed over the wooden box. For the second son of the Anting Hou family, who was killed by Princess Mingshou, Xiao Ye was also very sympathetic to him. Although Princess Mingshou is no longer here, his life has been ruined, let alone any ambitions or ambitions, even if he wants to marry a wife and live a good life. An Tinghou's hometown is in Zhangzhou, and returning to his hometown is equivalent to exile and captivity.

It's not early, Xiao Ye's errand is finished here.

Zhang Qianheng got into a green cloth caravan, and four people, one in front of him and one behind him, escorted him to Zhangzhou.

This should be the last time he will see the sunset in the capital.

Zhang Qianheng opened the wooden box, took out the painting scroll in the box and slowly unfolded it.

Sunny day, clear water, and the ladies who are revealed one after another in the painting.

Zhang Shiheng's hands were trembling.

Through the glimmer of light from outside the carriage, he saw the man sitting in the pale yellow dress.

Just like the color she wore when they first met.

It was also a sunny day, and her clothes were like flowers blooming on the branches in the sun.

The flowers of that year never withered, and bloomed forever in his heart.

The emperor acted quickly, and the next day he sent a message out to choose another companion for the eldest prince. According to the usual practice, the background of the companions will not be too low, if it is not a noble, at least it must be a family of fathers and ancestors who are above the third rank to be eligible to be selected. There is also an unwritten rule that the concubine cannot be selected, and the hope of the side branch is also very small.

The emperor didn't plan to choose a young one, his plan was to be three to five years older than the eldest prince from the beginning, and it was best to be a young man who was careful and steady.

It turned out that there were two places, but one of them had already been booked by Princess Mingwei and booked to Qiao Shuying, so there was only one place left, but there were nearly thirty people who wanted to be selected.

Among them, no matter if you want to ask the emperor for intercession to get closer, it is convenient for your children and grandchildren.

There is no one in the capital who does not know that the eldest prince is physically weak, but the emperor's emphasis on the eldest son is not biased because of his frailty, and this is still a fast and convenient road to heaven. Taking a step back, many of these people who want to hug the thighs of the eldest prince are actually frightened because of the case of Princess Mingshou, and they are eager to show their loyalty to the emperor.

Even if you can't be selected, you have to perform one or two.

So on this list compiled by Father-in-law Bai, there is even a son-in-law who is in his early twenties. If the child is born early, the child should be enlightened and read, what kind of companion reading will he do? It's obvious that I'm here to mix it up.

Such a person naturally had to be screened out at Father-in-law Bai, and when he arrived at the emperor, another batch was screened out, and there were six people in the end.

The emperor plans to let the eldest prince pick it himself. A Qiao Shuying is not only a cousin, but also one of the few acquaintances of the eldest prince, so he should occupy one. Only one of the other six will be chosen.

The emperor summoned people to the Changning Palace after the court meeting, and then asked people to go to Yong'an Palace to spread the word, asking Xie Ning to bring the prince over with him.

Shainin really wanted to follow along. Although it is said that the eldest prince chooses himself, whether it is the emperor or Xie Ning, he will definitely take care of it for him, and he must not let people with flaws in his moral character become companions, what should he do if he takes his own children badly?

Of course, Xie Ning and Princess Yuyao were waiting behind the curtain.

The emperor was a little surprised to see that she had brought Princess Yuyao with her.

Xie Ning showed a helpless look. If it weren't for the second prince who happened to fall asleep, she wouldn't be able to get out of her body, but she was afraid that she would have to bring the youngest one with her at this time, but Princess Yuyao couldn't get rid of it no matter what, so she had to take it to Changning Hall together.

The name of Changning Palace, the eldest prince and Princess Yuyao would hear it mentioned almost every day, but both of them were coming back for the first time. The glorious and majestic front hall is where the emperor will summon courtiers and discuss politics in addition to the big court meeting, even Xie Ning has never come, she only went to the back hall, the study and the emperor's bedroom.

Through a blue veil curtain, Xie Ning and Princess Yuyao looked at the few half-grown children standing outside.

They were of varying heights, and the shortest one was a head taller than the eldest prince. Although there is a relationship between age, the eldest prince is not in good health, and he was born much thinner than his peers. The day before yesterday, when the eldest prince measured their size and made autumn clothes, Fang Shanggong also said excitedly that the eldest prince had grown a little taller.

Although Xie Ning didn't see that he had grown taller at all, Fang Shanggong's joy was so sad in comparison.

The tallest one is not the oldest one, they are about to catch up with the size of an adult, I heard that their family is tall, the ancestors of the nobles are all born in the army, and the world of changing the dynasty is out, and now the children of this family are also more burly than others, I heard the emperor ask him a few words, and he has been practicing martial arts since he was a child.

Shainin excluded him first. This is to pick a companion to read, not to pick a guard, to grow tall and practice martial arts, I am afraid that it is not good to read. Besides, he and the eldest prince stand together, no matter how you look at it, it is not coordinated.
