Chapter 2 Chaohua Garden

At night, the curfew should have been imposed everywhere in Beijing, but the door of the West Garden, which was a few miles away from the palace, was opened, and the tall palace gates opened one by one, and the man rode a black giant horse all the way to the west of the West Garden.

"From tomorrow onwards, there will be no one who will be seen! Let them kneel for me outside the gate of the West Garden! ”

Seeing that he was furious, the palace guards at the gate had already knelt on the ground, and they didn't even dare to gasp.

"Rubbish! Rubbish! Rubbish! ”

After scolding a few times, the man was still puzzled, picked up the whip with gems in his hand and whipped it towards the pillar in front of the door:

"A group of corpse vegetarian thieves still dare to hold me hostage?"

A few eunuchs who were waiting for Huayuan hurriedly rushed out, and when they saw this, they had to hold their breath and calm down, only thinking that they were flying insects and falling leaves in this palace.

A young eunuch looked left and right, knelt down and took two steps, and said softly: "Your Majesty must take the dragon body as the most important, but some sour Confucians who fiddle with the pen, why do you bother to make a liver fire for them." ”

"Smack." The man, known as His Majesty, whipped him to the ground and turned to look at the young eunuch.

The eunuch fell to the ground and did not dare to move.

The man smiled, he was extremely handsome, his facial features were burning and bright, but there was a bit of a fierce aura between his eyebrows, which made people dare not look directly, he was the current majesty who had been on the throne for six years - Zhao Surui, Emperor Zhaode.

Looking at the little eunuch coldly for a moment, he asked:

"Gao Huaiming, you said that my minister of civil and military affairs is a sour Confucian, what are you?"

His tone was calm and quiet, but it was like a knife soaked in the autumn wind, forcing people to tremble.

The little eunuch named Gao Huaiming trembled, but still said with a smile:

"The slave is His Majesty's cat and dog slave, and it is dedicated to relieving His Majesty's boredom."

"Cats and dogs? Do you deserve it too? ”

The young monarch cursed in his mouth, but the murderous aura faded a little, he raised his hand and said:

"One chicken and two dogs, those wastes are left behind, you come to serve me first."

"Yes, yes!"

After standing for a few moments before picking his knees off the ground, Gao Huaiming followed His Majesty into the main hall in small steps.

Walking into the main hall, Emperor Zhaode casually threw the whip into the corner, and the red ruby inlaid on the handle of the whip was an inch in size, and no one felt distressed when it hit the stone brick floor.

Leaning on the soft couch and looking at the eunuch who took off his boots, Emperor Zhaode's heart was still a little depressed.

He ascended the throne at the age of fifteen, at the age of eighteen, he personally conquered the Mobei Duqin Department, and at the age of twenty-one, he conquered the Moxi Duer Headquarters, all of which were victorious, only on military merits, although it was not as good as the Taizu Chengzu who opened up the territory and expanded the territory, it was always enough to sweep away the decadence of Dayong for several generations in later generations, and the result? Those officials are not in line with the ancestral family law at every turn, he is not in line with the rules, indecent, this year's Jianghuai area to celebrate the harvest year, the warehouse is abundant, he said that he wants to transfer 100,000 silver to repair the West Garden, but those officials seem to be digging the ancestral grave!

He Zhao Surui just spent a little money, why did he become a gangster?

Those officials are still comparing, scolding one is more shun than the other, the music is longer than the other, and the court is about to become a place for them to sing!

Fingers pinched the small seal hanging from his waist, Zhao Surui's heart was ruthless, after two years of leveling Moxi and Mobei, he would definitely throw those sour Confucians to open the river and plant trees!

Seeing the little eunuch named Gao Huaiming kneeling on the ground and beating his legs, he lowered his eyes and said:

"Since you are a cat and dog minion, you have to make me happy, but I am angry, but you have no choice, not even cats and dogs."

Gao Huaiming lowered his head and glanced carefully outside the hall.

He was afraid, but not just afraid.

Your Majesty is in a hurry, and several "grandfathers" beside him are afraid that they have been left behind, and those "grandfathers" are surrounded by His Majesty wherever they go on weekdays, and there is no time when he can show his head, such an opportunity as today, if he misses it, he is afraid that he can only be a sprinkler eunuch in Xiyuan for the rest of his life.

"The slave and maid really have a way to punish those sour Confucians for Your Majesty."

The hand holding Xiaoyin paused, and Zhao Surui looked at the top of Gao Huaiming's head:

"Tell me about it."

"Your Majesty, the slave maid has been sweeping Chaohuayuan for many years, and the bricks outside have been knocked over by the slave and maid one by one, there are so many bricks that can't make a sound no matter how they are knocked, tomorrow those officials will come, and the slave and maid will lead them to the side of those bricks, Your Majesty just instructs, they kowtow and can't make a sound, it is disrespectful to Your Majesty, they are pinched by the slave and maid, where do you dare to make noise to Your Majesty?"

"That's a good idea, it's enough to disgust those officials."

Zhao Surui nodded, as if he was a little moved by this idea.

Gao Huaiming's heart was like a drum, and he intuitively felt that he was afraid that he had said the wrong thing, so he lay on the ground and kowtowed to the couch repeatedly:

"Your Majesty, the slave maid just feels sorry for Your Majesty......"

"I know." Zhao Surui straightened his body and lowered his eyes to look at the small seal in his hand.

There are four words on it: "Gentleman is not a weapon".

Outside the main hall, several eunuchs crawled to the door, panting like dead dogs.

Zhao Surui raised his eyes and looked at them:

"You chickens, dogs, cats and mice are coming too slowly, and you can't even sit still?"

The names of the great eunuchs who served beside Emperor Zhaode are also different, the so-called "one chicken, two dogs, three cats and four rats" is the name of their four great eunuchs.

The four of them knelt in front of the temple gate with a group of little eunuchs, and did not dare to speak.

Zhao Surui stood up from the couch:

"Okay, don't pretend in front of me, drag this guy named Gao Huaiming out, take someone to the direct palace eunuch, and close the trial together with the palace guards and sweeping eunuchs, tomorrow morning I will know which eunuchs dare to play tricks on the floor tiles to blackmail the courtiers."

Under the power of heaven, there were hundreds of eunuchs who were going to suffer in an instant, and there was a dead silence inside and outside Chaohuayuan.

The chickens, dogs, cats and mice gasped unevenly, and they almost suffocated themselves.

Zhao Surui crossed them and walked towards the notebook that they had escorted.

"What, you eunuchs don't even have the strength to catch people?"

Yiji hurriedly bent his waist and stood up, seeing that the little eunuch in the hall who dreamed of climbing high branches was too frightened to move, he waved his hand and asked a few cronies to go in and drag people away by covering their mouths.

He gave the four rats another color, and the four rats also stood up and quietly led people to arrest and interrogate people.

Before Gao Huaiming could beg for mercy, he was kicked to the ground and dragged down with his own fist, passing by the palace gate, he heard His Majesty say:

"Whatever is found out, they are thrown into the tiger and leopard yard and fed."

Gao Huai, who knew his fate, was wide-eyed, but he couldn't struggle at all.

Probably because he finally killed someone, the depression between Zhao Surui's eyebrows finally dissipated a lot, and seeing that the three cats were still smiling and following him, he kicked the three cats' buttocks:

"Go and get me something to eat, I'm angry, Guanglu Temple doesn't know if I can eat something."

"Don't worry, the three cats will make the emperor eat well!" The big eunuch called the three cats ran on his heels on tiptoe, and his ass was still covered with His Majesty's boot prints, but his face was smiling, and their emperor kicked his ass, which was interesting and high!

Emperor Zhaode also had a smile on his face, and he picked up a book with great interest and looked at it by the lights in the courtyard.

"Harvest."

"Victory."

After flipping through a few books in a row, his mood became better and better: "The world is peaceful, and the four seas are abundant, what are the dissatisfaction of those officials in such a prosperous era?" ”

He picked up a few more books and walked back to the hall, and the two dogs and three cats had already led people to put everything together and stand aside carefully.

There were a few screams in the distance, but Zhao Surui smiled and took a sip of tea.

The next moment, the teacup in his hand was crushed by him.

"Tax Cuts, Disarmament and People's Livelihood? Does he want to make peace with those barbarians in Moxi? I prospered in one fell swoop, won every battle, and in his case, it became a crime of looting the people's fat and people's ointment?! It's a shame that he can say it! ”

"Your Majesty! Your hands! ”

Several of the great eunuchs were taken aback, and hurriedly stepped forward, only to see that their Zhaode Emperor's hand had been injured by broken porcelain.

Zhao Surui didn't pay attention to it at all, and shook the blood on his hand casually, and he said sharply:

"The Cabinet even dares to send such an excerpt to me? This Chen Shouzhang! Send someone to get it for me right away! ”

……

Because of the mere Dengzhou Mansion Tongzhi's recital, Zhao Surui was so angry that he didn't even want to look at the recital, and after wrapping his hands, several big eunuchs ordered someone to bring peacocks and crested ibises from the south to make him amuse, and he couldn't raise his interest, because his hands had been aching faintly, and he was even more irritable.

Even in my dreams, I dreamed of a monstrous flood, I dreamed of the sunset like blood for a while, and I dreamed that someone dressed in white rode into the palace to report the funeral.

There was a faint cry in his ears, which disturbed him.

"Crying for what? I'm not dead yet! ”

When he opened his eyes, he saw a light blue curtain, and a woman with a white face looked at him with red eyes.

Zhao Surui's brows furrowed, how could the four wastes of chickens, dogs, cats and mice let these scheming women get mixed with the side of his royal couch?

He reached for the pillow, but all he could find was the soft satin, and the whip that he had always carried with him was gone.

"Girl! You're awake! ”

The crying woman wanted to help him, and she didn't know what to say in her mouth, Zhao Surui hurriedly dodged it, but she felt that something was wrong.

It's not that there's anything wrong with that.

It's that it's not right anywhere.

Zhao Surui saw his hand.

How did those hands that could hold a horse and a whip and hold a sword to meet the enemy become so small? The fingers are slender, the back of the hand is plain white, and even the cyan blood vessels are clearly visible.

This is clearly a pair of weak female hands!

"You ......"

Zhao Surui covered his mouth.

What's going on with his voice?

With his legs clamped, the dignified Emperor Zhaode almost rose from the bed.

What the hell is going on with him?!

Ah Chi looked at her girl with a frightened expression, her heart was about to break, her girl was lying in the Buddha hall with blood, how much she was wronged, how much suffering she suffered!

"Girl! Don't panic! Tu Nan took your letter and begged Mrs. Liu, Mrs. Liu asked her to bring a doctor over, and Pei Feng was guarding the door, and those mothers-in-law plotted to kill the main family, and they had been taken by Pei Feng with the nurses. ”

Who is Tunan?

Who is Peifeng?

What Mrs. Liu?

Zhao Surui only felt that he had not woken up from a dream, he looked past Ah Chi and looked at the table not far away, and a bronze mirror was placed on it, which clearly illuminated his appearance, no, it was "her" appearance.

A panicked, weak, pale woman.

He took a hairpin from the head of the maidservant in front of him, and compared it to the blood flowing from the maid's neck:

"Where is this? Who are you? I...... Who am I? ”
