Dali Temple Qing Guo Yu.

After dinner, Shen Shiqing did not rush to approve the folds, but took out a few colored stones.

The stones are the size of a thumb and come in malachite, lapis lazuli, turquoise, clams, coral, and pearls of exceptional color.

Holding it in her hand and playing with it, she put a piece of lapis lazuli on the table, and what she was thinking about in her heart was Guo Yu, who was temporarily seized by her words.

She picked up another piece of lapis lazuli and placed it next to the previous one.

Liu Kangyong, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.

After a moment's hesitation, she picked up a smaller piece of lapis lazuli and put it away.

Zuo Du Yu Shi Qian clumsy.

Looking at the three pieces of lapis lazuli, Shen Shiqing lowered his eyes and took out a piece of turquoise from the lacquer box containing the stone.

This piece of turquoise was placed by her a little further away from the lapis lazuli.

She flicked her fingers before putting it down.

The prince of Yingjun, Zhao Qinyang.

Then she picked up another turquoise.

Wu Chongmin of the left sentry camp of thousands of households.

The three cats came in with a plate of honey-roasted lotus seeds and a pot of tea, and saw that their emperor was playing with some small stones.

"Emperor, the slingshot you are used to has been stored in Chaohuayuan, and the servant Ming'er is going to fetch it for you?"

Hearing the words of the three cats, Shen Shiqing smiled:

"What do I want a slingshot for?"

After speaking, she suddenly realized that this lacquered box full of gems was used by Emperor Zhaode to hit the slingshot.

"I'm not trying to hit a slingshot, I'm just going to pick some rocks out of it."

The three cats looked at it from the side, and said with a smile: "Emperor, what kind of stone do you want to pick out and tell the slave maid, but you can do it yourself, Emperor."

Putting the lacquer box on the table, Shen Shiqing leaned on the couch, and after a while, she said:

"Finding stones is not an easy task, and there are still few of them, so I may have to find the green pine and limestone the size of the sand from a sand pit."

When the three cats heard this, they also felt troublesome: "Then the slave and maid go and find more people, the emperor, don't worry, the slave and the maid will take the children and grandchildren to sift over and over again, and they will definitely be able to ......."

"But I don't want to sift through it over and over again." Shen Shiqing waved his hand.

There's so much that a sieve can sift out.

Over and over again, not only the turquoise is gone, but the others are also gone.

Looking at the few stones on the case, Shen Shiqing fell into deep thought.

Guo Yu was seized power by her, Liu Kangyong has already retired to his old age, but he has not returned to his hometown, Qian Zhuo has fallen silent after several setbacks, Zhao Qinyang was locked up by her in Ning'anbo's mansion, Xie Wenyuan was locked up by her in Fusi, Beizhen, only Wu Chongmin has been wiped out.

These people have become trapped beasts under the imperial power.

Trapped beasts, in such a cold winter, they should huddle together to keep warm.

"I, I have to think of a way to let the green pine find the stone blue, and the stone blue find the green pine, and when they are in a ball, they don't need to be sifted, and I can easily pick them out."

Stone blue looking for green pine? Green pine looking for stone blue?

The three cats blinked their round eyes, and the cat's head was almost unable to turn.

"Emperor, the stone doesn't have long legs, how can I, how can I find it?"

A stone does not have long legs, but a man has long legs.

Shen Shiqing's face showed a slight smile, and seeing that the three cats were still there, she raised her head slightly:

"Go and call the second dog."

"Yes."

The second dog was waiting in the duty room outside the Qianqing Palace, and he came as soon as he called it, and when he heard that the emperor was calling, he walked in with long legs.

The three cats trotted behind them, and when they saw the front of the hall, the three cats grabbed the ochre-colored bullfighting suit on the second dog.

"Second dog, you ......" the third cat paused, "Be careful."

Ergou turned to look at him and grinned:

"When did you spare your life for the emperor?"

See this dog

The son was rampant, and the three cats rolled their eyes, and saw the two dogs lift the curtain and enter the hall.

The three cats followed, but saw that the emperor took out a ceramic mortar that had only been used once or twice before, and a few pieces of turquoise that had just been picked out by the emperor had been put into the pottery mortar for grinding.

"Two dogs."

Ergou hurriedly knelt down against the imperial case: "Emperor, the slave is here."

"These days......" Shen Shiqing raised his eyes and glanced at Ergou who was kneeling on the ground.

The tall eunuch in a bullfighting suit knelt on the ground, and at first glance, he looked like a military general.

In the past, the four imperial eunuchs in front of Emperor Zhaode, now a chicken was assigned by her to investigate the case, and it was also given him the opportunity to let him take the two factories in his hands, and the three cats became the actual chief eunuch in front of the emperor, and the rights and responsibilities of the four rats have not changed, but there are a lot more things, and there are fewer times when they return to the palace.

Only Ergou, since he received a private relationship with the Yingjun Palace, he has rarely been able to appear in front of the palace.

A eunuch who fell out of favor in front of the emperor must have a hard time.

The four big eunuchs have all had the bullfighting clothes given by the emperor before, but the other three have always only worn the round-necked robes of the eunuchs, and the two dogs used to be the same, but now they have to wear the robes of the royal gifts on their bodies to support themselves.

He wants to use this dress to remind others of the honor he received in the past, but it also shows that he is now out of favor.

"These days, you have suffered a lot of grievances in the palace."

Shen Shiqing's tone was soft, and as she spoke, she continued to grind the stones in the mortar.

With just this sentence, Ergou almost burst into tears.

The palace is a first-class power place in the world, as soon as he falls out of favor, some people want to pull him down, even if there is a chicken and three cats to protect him, but the more this is the case, the more others are waiting to pick his fault.

At the beginning, Ergou comforted himself that the emperor was not really tired of him and abandoned him, but he specially asked him to befriend Zhao Qinyang, but as time went by, he became more and more uncertain in his heart.

That's the Emperor! The emperor wants to employ people, who in the world does not rush to him? He is a eunuch who has committed a crime, how can he have any ability to make the emperor have to use?

One day, two days, one month, two months, it has been more than three months now, and Ergou only feels that every day is harder than the previous day.

If in the past, he still felt that he deserved the holy grace on his body after killing Zhang Wan, but now he doesn't dare to think like this, His Majesty was able to use him back then because a chicken recommended him, a chicken recommended others, or someone else recommended others, Your Majesty still used it, and he could still kill Zhang Wan!

Today, the emperor said this to him, that is, the emperor still needs to use him!

"Emperor, the slave maid has really tasted some warmth and coldness these days, and she has introspected herself day and night, only to know that she has received the favor of the emperor in the past is just a good fate, and the slave and maid used to be blinded by lard, so she didn't take this blessing to heart."

This sounds really serious and self-reflective.

"Warm and cold? Is the Yingjun Palace's cold to you, or is it warm to you?"

"Back to the emperor's words, others are far away from slaves and maids because of their fall from grace, only Zhao Qinyang, the prince of Yingjun, is not far away from slaves and maids, but he is more diligent in giving money and things than before."

Shen Shiqing nodded: "Get up and talk slowly."

Ergou immediately stood up, bowed his head and bowed his head respectfully:

"Emperor, in the past three months, Zhao Qinyang, the prince of Yingjun, has sent a total of 50,000 taels of silver, 3,000 taels of gold, and two good pearls to the slave's family. After two months of this, a chicken made a quarrel between the slave and the eunuch in charge of the inner treasury, and the slave and maid suffered some losses, and when they returned home, they knew that the prince of Yingjun had sent something over, so they no longer refused."

Ergou made a full set of plays, when Liu Bei looked at Zhuge Liang three times, he laid out the overall situation together with a chicken, which made people watch him mix in the palace day by day, and even had a dislike with a chicken who has been close since childhood.

Zhao Qinyang refused to stop to deliver things, but he was sure that his second dog would have no way out in embarrassment, and finally entered him

In the urn, he performed like this, making Zhao Qinyang feel that he was like a god.

"Zhao Qinyang himself, have you ever seen it?"

"Back to the emperor's words, the slave maid has never seen him in person, but he has seen a cronie beside him, who is the honor guard of the Yingjun Palace, named Song Jincheng."

The pottery pestle turned around in the mortar again and again, and Shen Shiqing said softly:

"Zhao Qinyang is obviously under house arrest in Ning'anbo Mansion, but his subordinates are unimpeded in Yanjing City."

"Emperor Qiqi, Zhao Qinyang asked the slave to go to Hongshan Temple to find a monk named Yuanji if he had something to do, the slave only wrote it down, and did not send people in the palace to investigate, but he was afraid of startling the snake, but let the slave's mother go to Hongshan Temple to burn incense, and let the slave's younger brother take the opportunity to investigate, that Yuanji is an old monk who was on the Hongshan Temple more than ten years ago, because he is proficient in Buddhism, and many high-ranking dignitaries in Yanjing City have dealings. The slave and maid made a slight temptation according to what Song Jincheng said, and that Yuanji was indeed a spy planted by the Yingjun Palace."

After speaking, Ergou closed his mouth and lowered his head.

At this point, he can also perceive that this Yingjun Palace's plans are very big, if he Zhao Qinyang just wants to make friends with the imperial eunuch, then he should go to the hot stove instead of betting on him, the eunuch who has fallen out of favor, and when he knows that the Yingjun Palace, he actually planted a nail in Yanjing more than ten years ago or even longer, he can't understand it.

King Yingjun, a vassal king in a remote corner, he actually wants to rebel!

"In the past, it took more than ten years to plant a nail, and now all kinds of temptations for you are a little too hasty."

Seeing that the turquoise was gradually turning into powder, Shen Shiqing stopped what he was doing.

"What is he anxious about?"

The second dog did not say anything.

The answer is clear.

Shen Shiqing picked up the water brought by the three cats and poured it into the mortar.

Watching the green color of malachite gradually dissolve in the water, Shen Shiqing let out a soft sigh.

"He's in a hurry, but it's not a bad thing."

The more anxious you are, the more you will rush to the doctor.

The more everyone wants to pull it to his side.

"Ergou, find a way to tell Zhao Qinyang that I have an excerpt from Liu Kangyong, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, saying that he connived at the servants to encroach on the acres of land. Then Liu Kangyong refuted my intentions several times, and I plan to investigate his henchmen in the court, and then let Liu Kangyong pay money to confess."

"Yes!"

After the order was finished, seeing that the turquoise in the mortar had almost turned into a brightly colored "soup", Shen Shiqing put everything aside and let the color in the mortar gradually precipitate.

"Two dogs."

"The slave is here."

"If you give Zhao Qinyang some more news, just say ...... The queen mother has always refused to see people because she has my flesh and blood."

Hearing this, the three cats on the side almost fell on the spot.

In Ning Anbo's mansion, Zhao Surui, who was eating supper, sneezed loudly.
