The old ministers withdrew, the hall returned to silence, and the emperor put down a red brocade cover in his hand, and said to himself, "Today is thanks to the queen mother."

Mrs. Liu listened and whispered, "Our Lady is in the court, and this day is full of joy."

The Emperor smiled softly. He remembered that when Empress Dowager Zhang left, she whispered in a half-disgusted manner, "The Empress is very good, and she is very worried about Your Majesty when she hears the voice inside the palace gate. It's just too soft, and with such a soft temperament, I'm really worried that I will be bullied by others in the future."

"Alas, but the queen mother doesn't know, I just like his soft and glutinous nature!" The emperor thought to himself, but said in his mouth, "Companion, you said that if the queen also has the same character as the queen mother, okay?"

"The emperor is fallacious." Eunuch Liu pursed his lips and replied with a smile.

"Oh, how do you say that?"

"A queen is a queen, why force her to become? Besides, with the rigidity of His Majesty and the softness of the Queen, it is a match made in heaven. If the queen is also a strong character, can this harem still be peaceful?"

"Eh, what you said is reasonable, in line with the way of yin and yang." The Emperor praised it.

Eunuch Liu smiled and bowed, and the god made the ghost say, "In fact, people's temperament will change."

"Huh?"

"The slave maid said something that shouldn't be said, the queen mother was also gentle and gentle when she first entered the palace, which is a temperament that has been tempered by ups and downs. The queen is innocent, smart and lovely now, and she will experience more in the future, and she will definitely be a generation of virgins!"

The Emperor looked back at him seriously and nodded slightly, "I hope that at that time, the Great Companion will still assist the Inner Palace and do his duty."

Eunuch Liu's lips moved, he knelt down and kowtowed, choked up, and said, "Slaves and maids obey the holy decree!"

"Get up." The emperor smiled: "I am in a good mood today that useless Yang Tao, let's go to the queen and sit down." I lost my temper just now, and she must have been very worried outside the palace."

"Yes." Eunuch Liu pressed his sleeve in his eye sockets, walked to the door of the study and shouted, "Your Majesty, get up and go to Kunming Palace!"

The guard of honor walked to the gate of the palace and saw an official wearing a narrow-sleeved ochre robe, a leather belt, and a soft-winged hat with a black gauze shirt holding a tray, and in the plate was a densely folded box of red brocade and gold flowers, standing under the wall to avoid the car.

"Liu Wei, did you just arrive?" Zhao Tuo waved his hand to stop the car, and then called the official's name and asked.

Huangmen Shilang Liu Wei is the first time Jingwu opened the branch to take the Jinshi, since then he has been in the Zhongshu Province of the Book Division, from the Sheren to Lang, Shilang, step by step, now he is dedicated to the emperor to pass the secret folds from all over the place, it can be said that Zhao Tuo's henchmen in the henchman.

Even with his waist card authority, he can not only walk in the front court, but also enter the inner palace and go straight to the emperor's bedroom that night, which is called "giving the right to walk under the stairs secretary", which is an absolute honor!

Hearing the emperor's call, Liu Wei hurriedly stepped forward to the window of the car and raised the tray above his head: "Yes, Your Majesty, this is sent by a fast horse from the post station in Jiangxi."

Zhao Tuo didn't speak, and reached out to take the brocade box from the window. Liu Wei heard the sound of the rope inside, and then the sound of "click", and knew that the emperor had opened the brocade box.

He didn't know if the emperor had any further orders, so he took a step back and waited quietly.

Normally, if the matter is not big or the emperor does not want to reply or instruct immediately, he will say "I know", but there is no sound in it today. The driver had to wait in place, and everyone did not move or make a sound.

After a long time, I heard a laugh and scolding: "This guy, he is so busy, he still remembers the birth of the queen mother, it is really rare to be filial!" Then a hand beckoned at the window: "Liu Wei!"

"The minister is here." Liu Wei hurriedly stepped forward to the window to listen to the emperor's orders.

But Zhao Tuo didn't speak immediately, he thought for a while before lowering his voice and saying, "You send a housekeeper to Anren to see what great things my good brother has done. Then go to Yugan County, and he will give his mother a birthday gift, and you will let him bring it back."

"Obey." Liu Wei bowed and asked, "Your Majesty does you have a letter or a message to bring?"

"Not necessarily."

Liu Wei bowed down again and said, "The minister retreats." back

Subside.

"You asked him to bring a message to Lin Zhongtai, the judge, when he passed by Nanchang." The emperor suddenly said in the car.

Liu Wei hurriedly stepped forward again: "Please give instructions from Your Majesty."

"Why did someone come out to stop the matter of Li Sanlang giving the people? I want him to quickly find out the truth and play according to the facts!"

"Obey."

"Let's go!" Eunuch Liu shouted, and the guard of honor moved forward again. Liu Wei bowed down to see each other off on the side of the road, and did not straighten up until the team walked away, and hurriedly walked towards Zhongshu Province.

Before they reached the Kunming Palace, the team stopped again. Soon, Eunuch Liu led a grandmother from the queen's palace to come forward. "Your Majesty, the people in front of you are here to report, the queen is not in the palace."

Kunming Hall is the main hall of Yuzhen Palace, where the queen lives. There are six courtyards where concubines live in the two wings, but each is separated by a courtyard wall and a mewich road.

Usually the queen is in the Kunming Palace, or in the back of the Wancao Garden to play. So when he heard that the queen was not in the palace, Zhao Tuo couldn't help but be stunned, and immediately turned to the grandmother: "Did the queen go to the imperial garden?"

Mama lay on the ground and didn't dare to raise her head, and hurriedly replied:

"Your Majesty, it was Concubine Yun who formed a poetry club, and in the corridor of the Chunjiang Pavilion, several ladies went, and I heard the palace daughter who came back to get pen, ink and paper say that the queen is afraid that she will not be able to do poetry well, and she is about to paint on the spot."

"Oh?" Zhao Tuo was relieved when he heard this, and immediately became interested: "Let's go, let's go to Chunjiang Pavilion and see how they have fun." Eh, the queen paints, I remember the last time it was before she entered the palace, right?

We have never seen the scene before, so we hurried over to take a look. Oh, just stand down from a distance, and don't alarm them!"

"Your Majesty wants to see the mother paint, but you can't see it when you're far away." Eunuch Liu was embarrassed.

"You stupid!" Zhao Tuo took out the bronze telescope from his bag, he is a treasure now, and he carries it with him wherever he goes. "Look, I have this magic weapon, and it won't hinder me from getting away."

Eunuch Liu immediately laughed and said that he was stupid, while urging the honor guard to go quickly.

The team went out of the Yuqing Gate (the north gate of the palace), and there was a first eunuch waiting for a good place from a long distance, Zhao Tuo got out of the car and happily took out his treasure telescope to take a look.

The Chunjiang Pavilion is located on the west side of Gongchen Road on the opposite bank of Changhong Bridge in the north of Miyagi, and the two ends of Gongchen Road are connected to Changhongqiao in the south and Zijin Bridge in the north (the bridge is 500 steps north, that is, the north gate of the Erzhong City, Jing'an Gate and its urn city North Pass), which divides the island into two parts.

To the east is the residence of Yu Kunwei, and the residential area of the princess and prince, and to the west is the continuous painting boat Zhu Lou, the arch bridge corridor, as well as a large area of lotus flowers and the fish pond and fishing platform during the decoration period.

This garden is open, many officials and their families often come here to play, if the palace concubines are here, just use the curtain to implicate, and arrange the Yu Kun guard to guard the block.

It is common for concubines to leave the palace to play in the double city, and they only need to obtain the consent of the queen and register with the treasure car bureau. About today, it was Concubine Yun who moved the queen, so she came with her.

The attendants only circled a piece of land, but they would not even wrap around the lake, so Zhao Tuo took out the Qingqing Gate and walked a few steps west along the road under the city to see a piece of red and willow green on the opposite side.

Miyagi is also known as Wanshou Palace, and some people call it Turtle Back Castle because it was built on a raised plateau and the terrain was higher than the surrounding area. Zhao Tuo was condescending, and he had an artifact in his hand, so he looked funny with a smile.

Although Eunuch Liu didn't know what to do, he knew that the emperor was peeping very well by looking at his expression. After watching it for a while, Zhao Tuocai waved his hand and asked Liu Daban to accompany him across the bridge.

The pterodactyl guards guarding the bridge had already been instructed by the eunuchs to raise their heads and look ahead, not to salute or shout, so as not to alarm the ladies over there.

Emperor Taizu raised troops from the Bozhou regiment of the previous dynasty, and his net worth, vision, knowledge and bearing were not comparable to those of a poor monk, so the open and tolerant atmosphere of this dynasty surpassed that of the former Song Dynasty to a certain extent.

However, in the management of the system, the pursuit of strictness and rationality, which can be reflected from the meticulous Yukun guard officers and soldiers, although they get along with the nobles in the palace every day, but these soldiers do not have the slightest squeamishness.

Even if they saw the emperor's honor guard passing by, they still meticulously guarded their positions, and the laughter and singing of the sons who were not far away did not prevent them from carrying out their tasks.

Therefore, the emperor walked dozens of steps away from them without the concubines noticing, and only then did a sharp-eyed female official find out and tell Concubine Yun softly, Concubine Yun was stunned and immediately whispered to the queen.

Empress Zhang then got up to greet her, bowed to Wanfu with a smile and said, "Concubines greet the holy driver, long live Your Majesty!"

"Long live Your Majesty!"

Zhao Tuo smiled and waved his hand to the group of Yingying Yanyan: "All are exempt from courtesy, flat!" Then he stepped forward and took the queen's hand and said:

"I heard that you were dragged away by a large group of people, so I rushed to the hero to save the beauty in a hurry, but it turned out that Concubine Yun was the fault and was arrested by me. Hey, I'm going to Kunming Palace, Concubine Yun, you have to be punished for drinking!" Everyone laughed.

Empress Zhang was originally young and thin-skinned, and as soon as the emperor came to be so many people, he took her hand, and jokingly said something "heroes save beauty", her face turned red, and she was busy pouring wine for the emperor, and whispered:

"Where did Your Majesty get the prize today? But I was interested in making fun of my concubines."

"Hey, I'll talk to you in the evening." After the emperor finished speaking, he told everyone to sit down and read the poems they had written.

When the queen heard him say the word "evening", she knew that he was going to stay with her tonight, and she became more and more ashamed, but fortunately everyone was busy arranging and seating, and no one noticed that she had covered up the past.

After they all sat down, Concubine Yun got up first, holding a wine glass and confessing: "Please the queen today, I didn't tell Your Majesty, I caused you to run in vain, and the concubine is guilty, so I will receive the decree here to punish the wine, and then play a song "Autumn Chang In" to Your Majesty?"

"Good!" Zhao Tuo shouted, "If you play it well, you will be able to redeem your sin, and if you can sing it at the same time, I will be rewarded!"

Concubine Sun Yun was originally from a family of poetry and books, and this matter naturally did not bother her, and when she saw that the emperor was happy today, she said: "The sisters have all witnessed, and Your Majesty Chrysostom should be heard!"

Then he went to the porch to clean his hands, took the tooth board and the pipa and played the tune, and sang the lyrics after a little thought.

Eunuch Liu listened to it, and suddenly a little eunuch behind him walked to his side and said in a low voice, "Master, Huangmen Liu Shilang is here again."

"Tell him to wait." Eunuch Liu was a little angry, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, and when he looked back at the eunuch, it turned out to be Liang Wu. Eunuch Liu walked a few steps to the side where no one was around, and asked in a low voice, "Didn't he just leave, what are you doing here?"

"It was said that it was sent by the prince of Shangrao."

Eunuch Liu felt that his hairs were about to stand on end, he looked up at Liu Wei who was standing in the distance, and then looked back at the emperor who was listening with great interest and sighed:

"Your Majesty is really not easy, and you can't spare a moment. You tell him to wait, and I'll find time to talk to Your Majesty." After speaking, he waved his hand: "Forget it, I'll go over." After speaking, he walked over and talked to Liu Wei softly, took the brocade box and walked back.

At this time, Concubine Yun finished playing, Zhao Tuo applauded, and Concubine Yun asked about the reward. Zhao Tuo called for a pen and paper, then looked around and wrote on the paper:

The golden wind is full of fragrance, where people have good yellow.

It's not that Hong Du has no good faith, but he is the king and says Qiuyang.

Everyone applauded when they saw it, and Concubine Yun glanced at the emperor and smiled: "The concubine also has a song, how about giving it to Your Majesty?"

"Okay!" Zhao Tuo was overjoyed, everyone watched her stained with ink, and wrote on a new piece of paper:

The autumn water is long and the sky is long, and the gold is thousands of miles together.

There is no reason to prolong the life of the king, and the mountain of Chang'an Road is thousands of miles.

"Oh, it's really a good poem, Your Majesty and Concubine Yun's singing and harmony really opened the eyes of the concubines." Concubine Xianyi next to her smiled and came up to make fun, and said, "Why don't you try one of the queen's mothers, that's great!"

When she said this, everyone was a little embarrassed. Everyone knows that the queen is not good at this at a young age, so she has just painted and written poems, but now Concubine Xianyi has proposed it again, or in front of the emperor, isn't it to take other people's army?

Zhao Tuo wanted to say something to help her break the siege, but Queen Zhang opened first

He said, "In that case, let the concubines also try. But if you don't do it well, don't laugh at it." After being humble, he ordered the paper to be re-laid out, and after a moment of thought, he took up the pen and wrote:

The waterside fence falls to see the sound of autumn, and the white dew wind blows clearly.

This is a good autumn moon in Liang Garden, and the door of every house hangs sycamores.

"Well, yes! Yuan'er (the queen's maiden name, Zhao Tuo uses this to express his intimacy) has made a lot of progress in writing poems, very good, very good!" Zhao Tuo deliberately praised loudly, and Concubine Yun saw his intentions and praised him vigorously.

Zhao Tuo asked where was the painting made by Empress Fangcai? "Your Majesty, how did you know that your concubine had ever painted?" The queen was surprised. Zhao Tuo didn't answer, took the painting and looked at it, and saw that the two fishermen and fisherwomen on the water were pulling the net together, and there seemed to be many fish in the net that were quite difficult.

Zhao Tuo looked at it and said with a smile: "I don't think the queen is so interesting, how about I write a poem to add color to you?" The queen smiled and agreed, and Zhao Tuo took the pen of the queen in his hand, and did not lick the ink pen, but thought about it a little. However, it is:

There are many hardships for the fish in the net, just because they have to dive against the current.

Where the white happens now, it's all in the fisherman's family.

The queen looked at him and laughed out loud, and everyone laughed. Everyone was happy, and the emperor ordered Concubine Xianyi to blow the flute, and Concubine Jingyi and Concubine Fu sang a cappella "Wang Cang Ascending the Tower".

Seeing that the emperor was in high spirits today, the concubine simply asked the imperial chef to make some meals in the Changqing Palace Dining Workshop, and everyone had lunch at the water and then went back to the palaces. Zhao Tuo was accurate.

Eunuch Liu looked at the emperor on his head, but the dense folding box was still in his arms. After gritting his teeth for a long time, he finally stepped forward while changing the tea, smiled and said, "Your Majesty, the old slave is brave."

"Huh? What's the matter?" Zhao Tuo's beating hand suddenly stopped. This is what he asks of himself, and he will never let sound and sex entertainment take the first place.

"There is a secret fold, and it comes from Shangrao."

There was a sound, and the emperor opened the box and took out the fold, and when he saw the words on the cover, he couldn't help but sigh: "This guy is still not good at practicing calligraphy!" As he spoke, he opened it and looked at it. The queen and Concubine Yun both looked at him with some concern, wondering what was written on it?

Unexpectedly, seeing that the emperor's face did not change much in the end. Zhao Tuo closed the fold, put it back in the box and said, "Got it."

Eunuch Liu turned around and nodded to Liu Wei, then handed the box to the eunuch in the inner study, and said, "Record." I don't care about it anymore.

The eunuch in the inner study will issue the ticket by himself, and then half of it will be sandwiched in the fold, and the other half will be returned to Liu Wei along with the box, and Liu Wei will return the box to the visitor or post station to bring back.

"Sister Yunfei, has the third brother already gone south? Does he have a letter?" The emperor asked suddenly.

"Your Majesty, I just received his letter, saying that he had just arrived in Anqing and was looking for a boat heading south." Concubine Yun hurriedly replied.

"Oh." Zhao Tuo didn't say anything anymore. But Empress Zhang had already sensitively noticed that he didn't seem to be as excited as just now, and it must have something to do with the secret note he received.

Despite this, the emperor still insisted on having lunch with the concubines, and then started driving in the name of going back to take a nap, and before leaving, he told the queen again that he would go to the Kunming Hall tonight, and pinched her little hand.

On the way back, Zhao Tuo didn't speak in the car, as if he was thinking about something.

When he was about to reach the gate of the palace, he suddenly called Eunuch Liu over and said, "I remember that last time the Wing Dragon Guard sent someone to Yu Gan to take Chen Shi'an's house, right? Send someone to find out who went at that time, and order him to come to see me."

Eunuch Liu was taken aback and didn't know what to mean, but habitually responded, "Obey."

Lu Rui and Zhao Baogen never thought that they would see the emperor from afar when they were on duty, but that and face to face alone are two different things.

There are 300 people in the Pterodactyl Guard who are responsible for guarding the prison and arresting key criminals, which is what the folk call "Ti Cai", but this job is easy to offend people, so the Pterodactyl Guard has rules: take turns to be on duty, and each shift is half a year.

After the two brothers returned to the capital, they were rotated ten days later, and now they are both guarding the right gate of Chongli. Suddenly, the boss came with an order, asking them to be laid off immediately, and after removing the armor and handing over the weapons, they followed the four Yu Kun guards into the palace.

The two were inexplicably sent to the shooting range outside the Inner Palace Kende Gate (the venue for archery practice),

Here I saw five eunuchs with big shoulders and round waists to pick them up, and then sent them all the way to the gate of the Qiande Palace.

Here, the four dragon guards pinched the corners of their clothes, and at the same time, an expressionless eunuch next to them chattered endlessly about what to do in etiquette and what taboos to do. Lu Rui suddenly realized: This is going to be a driver!

But when he walked to the door of the main hall, his mind was immediately blank, his feet were weak, and Zhao Baogen was so frightened that he fell on the ground and kowtowed again and again as soon as he entered the hall, and he couldn't say anything. "Minister, minister, minister......."

Luri hurriedly went over and kicked him: "Get up, it's not there!"

"Huh?" Zhao Baogen realized that this was just the door, and the two eunuchs were standing by the door looking at him strangely, he quickly got up awkwardly and followed the eunuch who led the way to continue walking inside.
