Emperor Renzong in Yongshou Palace is making sandwich panels with a headache, these days his own mother Queen Mother is not dealing with Concubine Pang for the Mid-Autumn Festival Palace banquet, at this moment, the crying pear blossom with rain and the favorite concubine knelt on the ground and said delicately: "Your Majesty, it's not that the concubines are not happy with this palace banquet, but the palace can't get more silver, so that the Queen Mother is satisfied." ”

When the queen mother heard this, she said angrily: "What do you mean that you can't get more money? The mourning family just thinks that King Xian has only come back once in so many years, so how can we do it decently, so as not to let people say that we have treated our own brothers slowly." ”

Renzong nodded hurriedly and said, "What the queen mother said is very true, King Xian has been lonely since he was a child, and he can't be treated badly. ”

Concubine Pang saw that Renzong's limelight was biased towards the queen mother's side, and said with a crying voice: "Your Majesty, why do the concubines want to treat the virtuous king slowly, but this palace can only spend this bit of silver, as the saying goes, it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, how much money can do how much, isn't it?"

Some time ago, you went home to save your relatives and brought back how much palace property you brought back, and the pomp and circumstance was more beautiful than the princess's marriage, and the mourning family asked you, where did you get the money? If you go to the princess according to the palace rank, no matter how high your position is, you can go out of the princess? The emperor loves you and spoils you, and doesn't care about you, but the eyes of the mourning family can't rub the sand in, don't you say that the palace banquet is not enough silver, okay, the silver that is not enough will be deducted from your extravagance. The Queen Mother thought of Princess Deling, who had to marry in order to marry her relatives some time ago, and her heart ached.

When Concubine Pang heard this, she saw that the Queen Mother was holding on to the pigtails of her provincial relatives, she didn't feel angry in her heart, and she no longer blindly showed weakness, wiped her tears, straightened up and said: "The Queen Mother said that my pomp and circumstance are extravagant, and the concubines don't understand this, when the princess got married, because the palace treasury was empty, our Pang family also made a contribution, so as not to lose the dignity of the princess." After the concubines went home to save their relatives, the emperor read that my Pang family was loyal, and allowed the concubines to act according to the highest specifications of the harem, this matter, the queen mother also knew at the beginning, and the silver spent by the concubines was also for the emperor to see, since the queen mother and the emperor had approved it at the beginning, now, the silver is not enough, why is it that the concubines are here?"

As soon as the emperor heard Concubine Pang talk, the more unseemly she became, not only buried the queen mother, but also deliberately pulled herself in, and hurriedly said: "Shut up, how can you talk about the queen mother's words and deeds, your Pang family has always been concerned about the royal family, and the widow also knows it, but it is rare for the virtuous king to come once, how can you prepare so shabby? If this is spread out, won't it lose the face of my royal family?"

Concubine Pang looked at the emperor with tears in her eyes and said: "The queen mother thinks that the concubines are not doing well, and the concubines are wronged, but for the sake of the emperor, the concubines endured it, and now, even the emperor dislikes the concubines for not doing well, what else do the concubines have to say, since this is the case, the emperor will choose her to hold a palace banquet for the queen mother, the concubines have no choice." ”

Renzong saw that Concubine Pang wanted to pick a son and quit, he didn't feel angry in his heart, and said: "The widow knows that this matter is difficult to do, but usually you have always been a capable person, if you really want to try your best to do one thing, how can you not do it well, now the queen mother and the widow just said a few words about you, and you played a little temper, it can be seen that the widow usually spoils you too much, or not, if you don't want to take care of it, just take care of it, the widow won't believe it, can't a huge harem be a thing without you Concubine Pang?"

The Queen Mother saw that Renzong finally had a temper with this Concubine Pang, and couldn't help but nod with satisfaction and said: "Yes, Emperor, everything must have a degree, you see Mei Niang next to me, although she was born averagely, she also abides by etiquette, and she has been following the rules in the palace for a few years, let alone talking back to the mourning family, I thought that since Concubine Pang can't manage the affairs of this palace banquet, it is better to let Mei Niang take care of it." ”

"Your Majesty.... How can such a big thing be handed over to you as a country girl?" Seeing that the Queen Mother was clearly about to cut off her rights, Concubine Pang immediately retorted to the Queen Mother.

"Why, you don't want to take care of it yourself, and you don't let others take care of it? What country girl, Mei Niang is the righteous daughter of the mourning family, the princess of the emperor's imperial seal, how dare you belittle her so much?" the queen mother also refuted unceremoniously.

Renzong's head is about to explode, he has been exhausted recently in order to deal with the war in Western Xia, and now this harem is so noisy, if it is replaced by someone else, he can lose his temper, throw his sleeves and leave, but one is his own mother, the other is his favorite concubine, and he can't bear to hurt anyone.

Just when Renzong was one of the first two years old, the little eunuch outside the palace reported: "Bao Zheng has something important to ask to meet the emperor in the imperial study." ”

Renzong was relieved, and hurriedly escaped from Yongshou Palace on the grounds that he was busy with important matters in the imperial court, and said to himself as he walked: "This Bao Zheng came at the right time, and if it continues like this, I really don't know how to end it, so it is better to let the queen solve this matter." ”

Renzong came to the imperial study and saw Bao Zheng frowning, pacing back and forth in the room, and couldn't help but 'chuckle' in his heart, and said secretly: "I don't know what happened to me with this bag of sunspots, why are there so many things recently." ”

When Bao Zheng was waiting in a hurry, he saw Renzong walking in quickly, and hurriedly stepped forward to bow and said: "Your Majesty, the minister has an urgent report, it is about the Mid-Autumn Festival Palace banquet, and I ask the emperor to step back." ”

Renzong's front foot had just been stirred up by the palace banquet, and this back foot Bao Zheng came to talk about the palace banquet again, and his heart couldn't help but feel impatient, and he said coldly: "Bao Qing, is it also for the sake of the palace banquet specifications that you are in such a hurry to find a widow?"

Bao Zheng was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart: "What does the specifications of the palace banquet have to do with me, how do you like to put it as your emperor likes." ”

"Your Majesty, what the minister said is about the virtuous king, and the matter is very important, please ask the emperor to let the minister say it alone. ”

Seeing Bao Zheng's solemn expression, Renzong sighed and said, "That's it, that's it, I'll listen to what you have to say," and waved his hand again, letting the left and right retreat.

After Bao Zheng saw everyone leaving, he said: "Your Majesty, the minister wants to participate in the rebellion of King Xian." ”

When Renzong heard this, he was taken aback and said: "Boldly Bao Zheng, for no reason, dare to speak wildly, slander the people in the royal family, my siblings, do you want to die?"

Bao Zheng said: "Your Majesty, if there is no real evidence, how dare the minister say so much, the evidence that the emperor wants, Mr. Gongsun is waiting outside the palace at this moment, as long as the emperor allows him to enter the palace, he can see the evidence." ”

Seeing Bao Zheng's serious face, Renzong knew that he had always been cautious and strict, so he nodded and ordered Gonggong Chen to go outside the palace to bring Gongsun Ce into the palace.

Gongsun Ce took the unconscious Zhan Zhao, Feifei and Ruoxi into the imperial study with Gonggong Chen, and after helping the few little eunuchs who carried Zhan Zhao in to put down Zhan Zhao, they retreated with each other.

When Chen Gonggong was about to withdraw, Bao Zheng said: "Chen Gonggong, this matter is very important, you must not reveal a trace of news, please Chen Gonggong and those little fathers-in-law just now say hello." ”

When Gonggong Chen heard this, he smiled and said: "My adults are worried, these people are all from my usual time, and they know what to say and what not to say, and we have not seen anyone else along the way." ”

Bao Zheng looked at Gongsun Ce and saw that he nodded at him silently, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing Zhan Zhao unconscious, Renzong couldn't help but ask curiously, "Bao Qing, what's wrong with Zhan Guard, what's going on?"

Only then did Bao Zheng tell Renzong the reason for the incident.

After hearing this, Renzong was shocked, looked at Zhanzhao on the ground, and was speechless for a long time, only muttered: "This.... How is this possible, why should I be so lenient to King Xian, why should he do such a disobedient thing?"

Seeing that Renzong still didn't dare to believe it, Gongsun Ce said, "Your Majesty, these two girls have a way to let Zhan Guards tell the truth of the matter, and ask the emperor to allow them to use their medical skills." ”

Renzong looked at Feifei and Ruoxi, nodded, and agreed.

Ruoxi took out a silver chain from his arms and walked to Zhanzhao's side, Feifei gently helped Zhanzhao up, and pierced a silver needle into the Baihui acupoint on the top of his head, and after a while, Zhanzhao slowly opened his eyes.

Ruoxi said softly: "Zhanzhao, can you hear my voice?"

Zhan Zhao blinked, looking for the source of the sound, and after a while, he locked his eyes on the silver chain, Ruoxi nodded and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, I am going to start, in this process, no matter what you hear, please don't make a sound, otherwise you will wake up Zhan Guard, and the consequences will be unimaginable." ”

After speaking, he said to Zhan Zhao: "Zhan Guard, do you remember what happened when you were in the Xian Wang's Mansion?

Zhan Zhao looked at the silver chain swaying from side to side, and said in a low voice: "Remember, I remember that King Xian's courtyard is very powerful, and the Five Elements Bagua Formation is secretly harmonized..... I heard the Virtuous King....... The night of the Mid-Autumn Festival is the time to do it...."

Under the effect of hypnosis, Zhan Zhao intermittently told all the things he had experienced, including how King Xian planted Gu on him and ordered him to assassinate Bao Zheng.

After listening to Zhanzhao's narration, Renzong was already sitting on the dragon chair, his head was covered with sweat, and he said in a low voice: "It's so dangerous, if Bao Qing hadn't found out early, I'm afraid that the palace banquet would be the day when King Xian forced the palace." ”

Ruoxi put away the silver chain, wiped the sweat from his forehead, glanced at Feifei, and stood silently behind Bao Zheng.

Renzong was stunned for a moment, and finally sighed and said: "I don't want to kill each other, how can I let others press forward step by step, for this dragon chair of mine, they actually ignore family affection, if this matter is known to the Queen Mother, I don't know how sad her old man will be." ”

Bao Zheng said with relief: "The emperor is kind-hearted and filial piety is touching, but for the sake of the stability of the country, the emperor must not have the kindness of a woman." ”

Ruoxi saw that Renzong and Bao Zheng only cared about emotion, and the other was only relieved, but they didn't talk about the next way to deal with it, and looked at Feifei anxiously.

Renzong also wanted to sigh two sentences, the corners of his eyes twitched, and when he saw Ruoxi squeezing his eyebrows behind Bao Zheng, he suddenly felt that the boss was unhappy, and looked at Ruoxi and said coldly: "I don't know what this girl thinks of what I said?"

Ruoxi Zheng and Feifei looked at each other, and when they turned around, they saw Renzong looking straight at him, and thought: "This time it's good, the emperor is angry, and now he has been named and questioned by the emperor, and I don't know what kind of temper this emperor is." ”

So, she took a step forward and held her eyes at Bao Zheng, and sure enough, she ushered in Bao Zheng's warning eyes, she smiled bitterly, cleared her throat and replied: "Your Majesty, Ruoxi also thinks that the emperor is a good emperor like Lord Bao, and has a rare bodhisattva heart, but now the evidence of King Xian's rebellion is conclusive, and there are not a few days left on the Mid-Autumn Festival, the situation is urgent, and the people think that it is better to come up with a way to deal with it quickly, as for this sigh.... The folk girl thinks that when things are over, it's okay to express them slowly..."

Ruoxi said more and more smoothly, and when he wanted to continue, he suddenly grabbed Feifei's waist violently, and after a pause, he turned his head and was about to ask Feifei why he arrested her, when he suddenly saw that Gongsun Ce on the side kept looking at himself and blinked, with an anxious face, and suddenly realized that he was preaching to the emperor?

Silence, there was silence in the imperial study, and if a needle fell at this time, it should be able to hear the sound.

Just when Ruoxi was nervous and about to go crazy, Renzong suddenly laughed loudly, Ruoxi looked up at the emperor in disbelief, only to see that the gentle and elegant emperor was looking at him with an interesting face, and then he suddenly realized that he had been tricked by him.

After Renzong laughed for a while, he said to Bao Zheng: "Bao Qing, you two girls are really interesting, but although the words are more straightforward, the truth is right, I don't know if Bao Qing can have a way to deal with the matter of the virtuous king?"

Bao Zheng said with a smile: "What the emperor said is very true, Mr. Gongsun has some plans for this matter, and I also ask Mr. Gongsun to tell the emperor in detail." ”

After Gongsun Ce nodded to Renzong, he replied: "The student thinks that although we have the testimony of Zhan's guard, it is still not enough to make King Xian confess, and with King Xian's shrewdness, if we can't capture him on the spot, I'm afraid it will still be difficult to punish him." Therefore, the students thought that instead of taking the initiative, it would be better to wait a few more days and wait for the rabbit. ”

Renzong let out an "oh", his eyes lit up and said, "How to keep the law of waiting for rabbits?"

Gongsun Ce said: "The emperor's palace banquet is still held according to the law, since the virtuous king wants to do it on that day, just let him do it, we only need to take it in one fell swoop when he does it, then the virtuous king is able to speak like a spring and it is difficult to escape the punishment of the law." ”

Renzong said, "You mean to let me and the Queen Mother be bait?"

Bao Zheng hurriedly defended: "The emperor and the queen mother are the bodies of ten thousand people, how can they be suspected at will? Mr. Gongsun means that on the day of the palace banquet, we can find someone to pretend to be the emperor and the queen mother, and lead the virtuous king to do it." ”

Renzong listened to Bao Zheng's suggestion, pondered for a while, and then said: "Since Bao Qing has all plans in the future, let's act according to Bao Qing's plan, but what are your plans to protect this exhibition?"

Ruoxi smiled and said: "Your Majesty, King Xian can use Gu poison to control Zhan Guard's mind, and I can naturally use my hypnosis to control Zhan Guard, and when the time comes, Zhan Guard will be a powerful medicine we give to King Xian." ”

Renzong looked at Ruoxi with interest and asked, "Are you so sure?"

Ruoxi said confidently: "The emperor can rest assured, the people have their own way." ”

Bao Zheng saw that Renzong had completely agreed and believed his statement, and reminded the emperor again: "Your Majesty, this matter is very important, and I also ask the emperor to keep it a secret from everyone except the Queen Mother, so as not to startle the snake." ”

Renzong raised his eyebrows and said to Bao Zheng: "Bao Qing rest assured, I have my own measure." ”
