Palace

As night fell, the palace lights lit up one by one.

In front of the palace, Gonggong Zhao suddenly stopped, watching Liu Zhan's departing back from a distance, and his mood was quite complicated: "I don't know when the big return pill will be refined, Your Majesty will serve the small return pill diligently, how can it be good if it goes on like this?"

It is a medicine with three points of poison, and it is a pill like Xiao Huandan, and taking it for a long time is not a good thing for a person who is already so weak that he is about to run out of oil.

If Your Majesty is willing to recuperate with peace of mind, it may not be impossible to recuperate, but the whole world is taken by Your Majesty in his heart, and he is not worried about it all the time, where is the time to recuperate?

Besides, Your Majesty has gone to recuperate, who should the state affairs be entrusted to?

It's really upsetting just thinking about it.

"Moreover, these Taoist priests are silent under the pretext of alchemy, but their influence has increased greatly, I am afraid it may not be the blessing of the community!"

As a royalist and a loyal servant of the emperor, Gonggong Zhao looked bitter when he thought of these things, and he had to hide this expression, and went up the steps step by step, towards the palace.

The closer to the imperial study, the higher the temperature, when he was about to enter the imperial study, Zhao Gonggong had to take off his coat and hand it over to the little eunuch for safekeeping.

"Your Majesty. Seeing that the emperor was leaning on the back of the chair and closing his eyes to recuperate, Zhao Gonggong called softly.

The emperor slowly lifted his eyelids, with a flush on his face that would occur after taking Xiao Huandan, and asked in a deep voice, "What is the result?"

Knowing that this was the emperor asking Su Ziji what he did after receiving the reward, Zhao Gonggong said softly: "Your Majesty, the servants have been following the Marquis for the past few days, and it was found that the Marquis has visited several officials, but after careful investigation, they are all civil officials, and they only come to the door to ask for words and paintings. ”

Looking at the old slave's lowered head, the emperor didn't say that he believed it, nor did he say that he didn't believe it, but only hummed lightly, and after a while, he said slowly: "You mean, the Daihou will not make friends with officials, nor expand the Hou Mansion, and will be satisfied after opening four restaurants?"

Is this possible?

He, the imperial grandson, is really such a temperamental person, how can he still have the opportunity to be allowed to be naturalized by himself now?

When the emperor heard this, he didn't believe it at all.

Zhao Gonggong bowed: "The slave and maid can't believe it, but the slave and maid do things for the emperor, and they will say whatever they see, and answer what they think in their hearts." ”

After saying that, he kowtowed again, and played: "The performance of the Daihou's naturalization, that's it, even if you go to visit the civil official, it is indeed for the calligraphy and painting, the slave and maid deliberately followed the three mansions, all of which were laid out in advance, eavesdropping in the secret room, and the Daihou arrived, only mentioning the calligraphy and painting, if he refused, he didn't say much, he immediately said goodbye, and gave the calligraphy and painting, and the Daihou would also refuse politely, and he was only willing to buy it with silver." ”

Therefore, the slave and maid could only consecrate these words, and did not dare to add or delete a word. ”

After speaking, seeing that the emperor's expression was still indifferent, he said: "The slave maid also sent a military attache to the door to make friends, it is the military attache who is in charge of part of the military affairs from the fourth grade of the military department, and he also had contact with the Daihou when he was in the military department, but he handed over the post, and was rejected by the Daihou." ”

The emperor listened quietly, but thought in his heart: "There is a saying, it is called a traitor like loyalty, and if the Marquis makes such a move, does he really not want to expand, or does he want to show me?"

"But what benefit can he get by doing this? I am in poor health, I am afraid that this matter has already spread, because I do not accept old age, but outsiders also think that I am old. ”

"All the kings are ready to move, and the Marquis is dormant at this time, aren't you afraid of missing the opportunity?"

"You must know that there is no military power, no party members, although you can relieve your doubts, but when the time comes, you can't say that you will fight with the king of Qi and the king of Shu, even with the king of Lu, who has the shallowest foundation, and you can't compete at all......"

"No, judging from my son's ability, I'm afraid that even King Lu is secretly doing things and feet, Daihou, what do you think?"

Because he couldn't think of a flaw, he pondered for a long time, and the emperor smiled slightly: "The Daihou is commendable, he doesn't want calligraphy and painting references? ”

"Yes!" Zhao Gonggong immediately understood, the calligraphy and painting were fake, and it was true to see the reaction after receiving the calligraphy and painting from the Marquis, and he responded at the moment, and asked: "Your Majesty, where do you take the calligraphy and painting?"

The emperor has a private library, and there is more than one, and there are even several libraries that collect calligraphy and paintings, all of which are named after the pavilion, and outsiders are not allowed to set foot in ordinary times.

"Give him all the calligraphy and paintings in the Sui'an Pavilion. ”

"Your Majesty!" Hearing this, Gonggong Zhao was startled, and looked up at the emperor.

"This is my imperial grandson, what's wrong with him? Why don't you go quickly?" Knowing that Gonggong Zhao was frightened by his own generosity, the emperor was not annoyed, but waved his hand lightly and urged.

"The slave commands. "Gonggong Zhao can only take the order to retreat.

Out of the imperial study, the little eunuch hurriedly trotted over, put the thick robe on him, because it was specially baked, it was still warm when he put it on, Zhao Gonggong was satisfied, and said to him: "Call thirty more people, follow me to the Sui'an Pavilion." ”

Thirty people? The little eunuch was startled, but he thought that he was going to clean the Sui'an Pavilion or do something, so he didn't dare to ask, so he immediately answered and went to call someone.

When Zhao Gonggong took people to Sui'an Pavilion, as soon as he entered, he said to the little eunuchs: "One person takes three or five pieces, and one is not left, let's take them all." ”

There were a few eunuchs who were guarding the Sui'an Pavilion, and when they saw them coming, they happened to hear Zhao Gonggong's words, and they looked dazed.

Gonggong Zhao said to them again: "Your Majesty has a decree to reward all the calligraphy and paintings of Sui'an Pavilion to the Daihou, and you will copy a copy of the list of Sui'an Pavilion collections to our family, so that our family can take things out of the palace." ”

This is hundreds of calligraphy and paintings! Such a large amount of money, Rao is also a little confused because he guards the Sui'an Pavilion and wants people to take away one or two from time to time.

But it was Gonggong Zhao who said this, and with so many people, it was impossible to coax, and it was impossible for Gonggong Zhao to do this, so after being shocked, he immediately copied a copy of the list and handed it over.

"Quick, but don't break it, one here, at least worth a hundred taels of silver, whoever breaks it, our family will let him sweep the royal street for three years." ”

"Yes!" The little eunuch who brought it responded loudly, emptied the Sui'an Pavilion, and stood outside one by one, waiting for Zhao Gonggong to speak.

"Ouch, one hundred and fifteen pieces, each piece is a fine product. "After all, it is the emperor's collection, and each piece is of great value, and after reading it, Zhao Gonggong can't help but feel pain.

Even if these calligraphy and paintings are not his, the thought of rewarding the emperor all of a sudden, feels that he is floating when he walks.

"Let's go, while it's just getting dark, let's finish going to the Daihou Mansion, and it's just the right time to come back. Zhao Gonggong took the lead and walked out.

Because there are too many things, and they are all royal gifts, they are piled up in ox carts and delivered, and that is not possible.

But held by the little eunuch, he walked directly from the palace to the Daihou Mansion, and this distance was not close.

But who let this be the emperor's account?

The mighty procession, with an eye-catching appearance, set off from the palace and marched towards the palace of the Acting Prince, with its own guards on the road, and even the ox carts traveling on the road avoided the roadside.
