Li Yunqing didn't seem to pay any attention to the cane punishment after three days, and after Wang Changling and the three left, he began to review the remaining folds this morning. For them, today is no different from yesterday. He carefully reviewed each of the folds, and then wrote Zhu Criticism on top of the folds. Chen Zhong was standing beside him and waiting, and this seventy-year-old man was extremely sorry in his heart at this moment.

Although he is a eunuch, he can be regarded as a veteran of the three dynasties. He sent away Taizu, sent Taizong away, watched Li Yunqing ascend the throne with his own eyes, and watched the twenty-two-year-old boy in front of him create a prosperous era. He is so heroic, full of vigor, his life can be said to have just begun, is it about to end because of an accident?

Thinking of the sadness, Chen Zhong couldn't help but wipe away his tears. Li Yunqing spoke at this time: "Gonggong Chen, you are old this year?" ”

Hearing this, Chen Zhong hurriedly wiped his tears and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, thanks to the emperor's protection, the old slave has spent seventy years of cold and summer this year. "Saying that the old eunuch was a little surprised and puzzled, why did the emperor ask his age?

Li Yunqing nodded when he heard this, his gaze did not take his eyes off the fold, and then said: "My father-in-law has served Taizu Taizong, and he has served me tirelessly for so many years. But I was negligent, my father-in-law is now seventy years old, I plan to raise you in the palace, so you don't have to serve by my side in the future, I will give you the Changle Pavilion in the palace, and you can live for a long time. ”

Chen Zhong was startled when he heard this, and hurriedly knelt in front of Li Yunqing and said in horror: "Long live the lord!" You must not be like this, pickled people like the old slaves, slaves and maids with mutilated bodies, according to the rules, they will leave the palace after they are old, and there is a comfortable residence built for the old slaves and others outside the palace, which is already a great grace of the masters. This...... This will be the old slave and other subordinates in the palace, not to mention in our big work, even in the past dynasties, there has never been such a precedent in 10,000 years, long live the lord. ”

Li Yunqing smiled slightly when he heard this: "Haven't I done less than anything that has happened in previous dynasties?" What the emperors of all dynasties did not do, why should I do it? Li Yunqing closed the fold in his hand, and continued in a warm voice: "Didn't Gonggong Chen block a sword for Emperor Taizu Gao back then?" If it weren't for you, maybe there would be no such big country. This matter is still remembered by Emperor Taizongren. Although Emperor Taizu Gao did not say anything, I think he had this in mind. As the so-called merit is higher than the Savior, you can accept the order, this is a part of the heart of my Li royal family. These are the words from his heart.

Chen Zhong cried when he heard this, and said in a choked voice: "How fortunate the old slave is, to meet three generations of Ming Jun, the old slave...... The old slave thanks the emperor's grace, long live my emperor, long live long live...... "Chen Zhong knows that his current treatment is unique for ten thousand years.

Li Yunqing nodded and let Chen Zhong get up, pondered for a moment and instructed: "Father-in-law, these days, choose a reliable eunuch below and let him take over your position as the chief eunuch." I don't ask anything else, just loyalty, understand? ”

Chen Zhong wiped his tears when he heard this, nodded and said: "The old slave obeys the order, and the old slave has been paying attention in recent years, there are really a few available dolls below, and loyalty is absolute." The old slave recently took the school examination for them, and decided to choose a suitable one for the master. "The eunuch in chief is equivalent to an official of the fourth grade, but he is a close attendant of the emperor, so naturally he does not dare to be sloppy in the slightest.

"Well, I said it was for me, but it was also for Qingyu's kid to choose a reliable person." Li Yunqing nodded, and continued: "Since ancient times, the dictatorship of eunuchs has happened from time to time, and I must not have such a thing. Whether it is a relative who is in power or a eunuch who interferes in politics, it must not appear in my Li family, or in my big cadre's country, absolutely not! That's why I'm quite concerned about this matter, you must choose strictly, and bring it to me after you have chosen, and I have to think about it carefully. ”

Chen Zhong nodded his head again and again when he heard this, and when he saw Li Yunqing bowing his head again to review the folds, he quietly retreated. It's just that his brows are furrowed, his face is extremely ugly, and seeing that one foot is about to step out of the door of Dongnuan Pavilion, he gritted his teeth and turned around violently and crawled in front of Li Yunqing, kowtowing three times in a row, only to hear his choked voice: "Your Majesty!" The old slave is dead! You are a holy lord who is difficult to produce in a thousand years, and you are responsible for the well-being of the people of the great Qian, hundreds of millions of people! The old slave begged the emperor to retract his will and not to destroy his body. Emperor! The old slave asks you to take back your will on behalf of the people of Daqian! After that, he didn't even dare to raise his face and continued to kowtow.

At this moment, Zhao Bingyan, Zhao Bingyu and Yun Zhongyu had already walked outside the door of the Qinzheng Palace, but they stopped when they heard the movement in the Dongnuan Pavilion. Zhao Bingyan looked serious, and listened to the conversation between the two of them without blinking, as did the other two women. Silence, silence. Li Yunqing stared at Chen Zhong for a long time, but finally sighed and shook his head and said, "Father-in-law, why did Taizu get the world?" Seeing that Chen Zhong opened his mouth but swallowed the words that came to his mouth, Li Yunqing continued: "Minguijun is second to Sheji, that's all. If those Jin Wuwei Secret Guards die on the battlefield for me, that is their duty, their glory! But they did not die heroically, but at my hands. They are also my people, so I must be so! ”

Outside the Qinzheng Palace, Zhao Bingyan seemed to have lost all the strength in his body, and he almost didn't fall, but fortunately, Yun Zhongyu held him up. He closed his eyes, and a tear slipped down his cheek. Li Yunqing is too upright in his bones and loves the people too much, so his choice has not changed after all. Hearing this, Chen Zhong also seemed to be much older at this moment, kowtowed to Li Yunqing three times again, and retreated silently. He said silently in his heart: "Emperor Taizu, if you have a son like this, you can smile at Jiuquan." ”

Chen Zhong saw Zhao Bingyan's three daughters when he left the Qinzheng Palace, he bowed to the three women, and Zhao Bingyan also bowed slightly to him. Seeing this scene, the other two women also hurriedly did the same, Zhao Bingyan was thanking Chen Zhong, thanking him for his loyalty, and thanking him for his outspokenness. Chen Zhong smiled slightly when he saw this, and left without saying anything. He knew that the third daughter heard what he and Li Yunqing said.

Zhao Bingyan wiped away her tears, took a deep breath, with a shallow smile on her face, and took the two girls into the Dongnuan Pavilion. I only heard his coquettish voice: "Your Majesty, the concubine doesn't want to eat by herself today, and wants the emperor to eat with her, okay?" "This voice is really as soft as it is, even Zhao Bingyu, who is a sister, has never heard such a soft voice, this is the first time.

Li Yunqing raised his head and smiled slightly when he heard this, and said softly: "Naturally, it's okay, my queen has spoken, where is there anything that can't be done in this world." Let the imperial dining room pass the meal, and I will accompany the three beauties to have a good meal today. ”

"Okay, I'll let the imperial dining room pass the meal." Ordering Dongmei to go down to pass the meal, Zhao Bingyan walked to the dragon case, picked up a copy of the fold and said, "I'll read the fold to my husband, hehe." ”
