Chapter Forty-Nine: Playing the Board
"Imperial Doctor Zhou Yunkai received the holy edict~"
As soon as Ming Gonggong Zhou's mansion drank, Zhou Yunkai strode forward and knelt in the center of the courtyard. The maid in the house knelt at the door early to greet her.
"Minister Zhou Yunkai received the holy message. ”
Gonggong Ming put his sleeves in front of his chest and abdomen, and said loudly, "The emperor's edict, said: The imperial historian Zhou Yunkai is not early, and the house is collared with a board, fifty." ”
"Huh?" Zhou Yunkai was stunned for a moment, stared at the ground, and then bowed, and responded calmly, "Your Majesty, Long live Your Majesty, long live Long live." "Anyway, lie on the ground and wait for the board.
Gonggong Ming took the guards left and right, one look passed, and the guards on the left and right held big boards, one left and one right.
Zhou Yunkai held back the severe pain and said nothing, the big boards in the hands of the guards on the left and right danced, and hit Zhou Yunkai's waist and buttocks mercilessly, Zhou Yunkai gritted his teeth. Everyone who watched it bared their teeth, shook their heads and sighed.
After Zhou Yunkai struggled to get up with his arms propped up, he knelt on the ground, endured the pain, and said loudly, "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”
"Well, get up. Father-in-law Ming smiled secretly, and when the little servant helped up the stumbling Zhou Yunkai on the side, Gonggong Ming stood up straight, and shouted again, "Imperial Doctor Zhou Yunkai will listen to the edict again~"
Zhou Yunkai froze in place, touched his buttocks, and looked blankly at Gonggong Ming, who was announcing the decree.
"Imperial Doctor Zhou Yunkai will listen to the edict again!" As soon as Ming Gonggong's voice was raised, Zhou Yunkai had to kneel on the ground again.
"Minister Zhou Yunkai received the holy message. ”
"The emperor's edict said: Zhou Yunkai, the imperial historian, did not go to court early, and the house received the board, and it was fifty. ”
Zhou Yunkai was afraid that he had heard it wrong, and his innocent little eyes were thrown to Ming's father-in-law, Ming's father-in-law gave a positive look, and Zhou Yunkai bowed miserably and accepted the order.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Long Live Your Majesty, Long Live......"
The guards on the left and right got the order, raised the big board and hit it fifty times again, and every time it fell, Zhou Yunkai gritted his teeth tightly, sweating profusely for a moment. Zhou Yunkai was originally a Wenchen, he was usually lazy to walk, never practiced martial arts, and his body was not strong enough. Needless to say, such sins are inflicted on fine skin and tender flesh.
Another fifty big boards were hit on his body, and after the beating, Zhou Yunkai couldn't straighten up, his buttocks bloomed, it was hot and painful, he was lying on the ground panting, and the green brick floor was also dripping with sweat.
The little servant hurriedly knelt up to help, Zhou Yunkai bent over and stood up with difficulty, and weakly squeezed out a few words at the corner of his pale mouth, "Your Majesty." ”
Just as Zhou Yunkai was exhausted and wanted to fall, he heard the holy oracle in the mouth of Gonggong Ming.
"Imperial Doctor Zhou Yunkai, receive the holy decree~"
Zhou Yunkai was completely stupid, one foot was weak, and he almost fell to the ground. raised his eyes and begged for mercy with sweat in his eyes.
"Father-in-law, let's finish it all at once, how many boards are left...... It's really not going back and forth......"
Gonggong Ming covered his mouth and snickered, pointed at Zhou Yunkai and said with a smile, "Imperial Doctor Zhou Yunkai, receive the holy decree~"
Zhou Yunkai was helpless, so he had to endure the pain in his heart and slowly knelt on the ground.
"Minister...... Zhou Yunkai, receive the holy decree, long live my emperor, long live, long live. ”
Seeing Zhou Yunkai kneeling on the ground again, Gonggong Ming cleared his throat, carefully took out the holy decree in his sleeve, and unfolded it to read.
"Emperor's edict: Now the country is turbulent, the people are uneasy, I heard that Yangzhou is mourning the people all over the wilderness, the corpses are a mountain, I feel very sad, I can't eat, I can't sleep, there are no virtuous people among the ministers, and the people who are incapable of civil and military affairs in the Manchu Dynasty are the most strategic, benevolent and generous, considerate and loving the people. At this moment, I knew that Aiqing was also as distressed as I was, so I sent Zhou Yunkai, the imperial historian, to Yangzhou to deal with the flood from now on. If it is properly governed, on the day of return, I will hold a banquet to celebrate, drink and feast, spread the floor with a mattress, and greet hundreds of officials. Named Dr. Shi as the Minister of Protectorate. He Hui forty-three years, the fourth day of the seventh month. ”
Zhou Yunkai's nerves stopped abruptly, and his brain repeatedly wrote down a sentence, go down to Yangzhou and cure the flood. Lower Yangzhou, flood control. Playing a hundred boards in front of him is coercion, the official in the back is a temptation, and then playing the emotional card in the middle, if it is really Hehui, you can't resist any of them. can only obediently accept the order.
Zhou Yunkai twisted his eyebrows slightly, beads of sweat fell to the ground, and he couldn't hide from knowing that he should come, and he couldn't bear it. I had no choice but to reach out and take the holy decree.
Zhou Yunkai was like a mirror in his heart, He Hui didn't even summon him, he didn't even give him a chance to politely decline, and he exaggerated himself in the holy decree, what love for the people, what distress, when did the official feel melancholy. Zhou Yunkai was reluctant in his heart, he couldn't escape from this hot errand despite dodging it, he took the holy decree hard.
"Your Majesty, the ministers should do their best, do it themselves, and never be sloppy. Zhou Yun said.
"Then my lord, get up quickly, it's cold on the ground~ Don't kneel for a long time, your knees hurt~" Father-in-law Ming grinned and greeted Zhou Yunkai.
Cool your grandma.
Zhou Yunkai scolded secretly in his heart, smiled on his face, and said heartily, "Father-in-law Xie." Then he was helped up by the little guy, half-squatting and half-standing in front of Ming's father-in-law, squinting and smiling, and whispering in a magnetic voice, "That, disaster relief~"
"My lord doesn't know, the disaster relief money has already been distributed, and the treasury doesn't have much money, what the emperor means is that the adult is witty, there must be a way to solve it, and the adult wills, yes or no?"
Zhou Yunkai squinted his eyes, nodded with a smile, "My emperor is wise." ”
"Well, the Lord has accepted the decree, and the servant will take his leave. Adults pack some bags, Yangzhou is cold, add more clothes on your body, don't be infected with the wind cold, if you ask for a return to Zi'an halfway, the people of Yangzhou can't give up the adults~"
The corners of Zhou Yunkai's mouth were already grinning to his ears, but his eyes were full of anger, and his brows slipped into a big knot. This father-in-law always alluded to his words, signaling Zhou Yunkai not to ask for leave to return home under the pretext of various reasons, and the Yangzhou flood was put aside.
"Congratulations to Father-in-law Ming......" Zhou Yunkai bent down and bowed, and drove away Father-in-law Ming.
Gonggong Ming flicked his sleeves and left, Zhou Yunkai put his left hand on the shoulder of the little maid behind Gonggong Ming, and put his right hand on the neck of the maid, swallowed all the qi into his stomach, and drank in a deep voice to his subordinates, "Axi, find some ointment to medicate the master." ”
"Yes, sir......" Ah Xi's cheeks turned red and he hurriedly ran. Zhou Yunkai was supported by his subordinates, and staggered back to bed.
Qing Xihuan and Dong Chuchen said goodbye to He Hui, and were strolling in the back garden at the moment.
"Looks like the assassin ran away. Qing Xihuan looked at the eaves and said with a smile.
"Well, that's reassuring. When Dong Chuchen responded, he kept looking at Qing Xihuan's side face, and always felt that the people above the hall today were like another person.
"What do you think I'm doing?" Qing Xihuan bumped into Dong Chuchen's hasty eyes as soon as he turned around, and couldn't help but ask quickly.
"No, in fact, I think Huan'er you, it's really different. Dong Chuchen was embarrassed to quibble, and said directly.
"Oh, what do you like?original?current?" Qing Xihuan looked at the flowers in the back garden blooming gorgeously, red and even beautiful, and couldn't help but fold a rose and play with it in his hand.
"I ...... I like ......" Dong Chuchen's voice was faint and he didn't hear it, and I don't know if Qing Xihuan heard it.
Qing Xihuan squatted down, sniffing the flower clusters, and couldn't help but suddenly brighten. It's been a long time since I've played so briskly, and I've enjoyed the flowers, if it's a flower in Chang'an City, it must be better.
"I heard that the flowers in Chang'an City are extremely beautiful, and I will take you to see it when I have time in the future. Dong Chuchen stood behind Qing Xihuan, looking at Qing Xihuan's happy expression, and he was also in a good mood.
It's just a roundworm in the stomach, heh. Qing Xihuan listened to Dong Chuchen's words, and his heart was shocked. He replied, "Yes." After that, he continued to immerse himself in the flowers.
Dong Chuchen didn't know why, looking at Qing Xihuan's back, every move, every anger and joy was very similar...... Shi Jinyu.
Dong Chuchen looked at it blankly, and the thoughts in his heart flowed out, if the net of memory was cracked, it would no longer be able to be sewn up.
Dong Chuchen's eyes were sad, and the memories of the past were like countless silk threads entwining the heart, the slightest thread was locked into the button, and the shackles were imprisoned and torn. That heart fell into ashes in the dark heart, was pulled out raw, thrown high, and fell down heavily. Fragmentation.
Just assume that the person in front of her is her Shi Jinyu, just treat it as a moment. A little while.
Coincidentally, Qing Xihuan turned his head somehow, and the moment he turned his head, Dong Chuchen bent down to look at the flower bones, and Qing Xihuan who turned his head was only a finger away from the flowers, staring at each other for a long time.
Qing Xihuan was stunned, the two of them were like a pair of calligraphy and paintings with extraordinary scenery, motionless, only naughty butterflies landed on Qing Xihuan's hair bun in pairs, stayed for a while, and flew away again.
The fragrance of flowers wrapped around the pine and cedar, surrounding the two of them, weaving an invisible net around the two of them, so that neither of them could break free.
Maybe the fragrance of the flowers is too strong, the smoked people are dizzy, and maybe the sun is too strong, the people who shine are faint, in short, Dong Chuchen is crazy, holding the rose flower in the palm of Qing Xihuan's hand, putting it on Qing Xihuan's forehead, and suddenly, kissing his mouth on the stamen.
