Meng Ran, who was shocked by all this, sat up, the cold air hit his body, and many fine and dense small bumps appeared on his exposed skin, and he glanced carefully into the room, but did not find any figure.

The breath in his body flowed rapidly, and he sat there with a solemn face, and it took a long time before he slowly came back to his senses.

Meng Ran turned around and glanced at Song Xiaofei, who was sleeping soundly next to him, and rubbed his cheeks vigorously, not sure if he was dreaming just now, or if he actually saw his husband.

The cold invaded, Meng Ran only felt that his upper body was already cold, so he had to burrow back into the quilt, look at the void above his head steadily, and fall into endless thoughts.

I don't know how long it took, Meng Ran's eyelids drooped again, slowly covered his eyelids, and fell into a deep sleep.

The next morning, when Meng Ran woke up from his sleep, Song Xiaofei was like a little beast without bones, tied into his arms irregularly, his long hair like a waterfall spread on Meng Ran's chest, and a few strands of naughty hair swept near his nose, making Meng Ran feel the urge to sneeze.

Meng Ran gently picked up the head of the beautiful woman in his arms, put it on the pillow, then removed the soft thin legs coiled around his waist, got out of bed gently, and then covered Song Xiaofei with a brocade quilt and dressed in a sloppy manner.

When Meng Ran walked out of the room, Song Xiaofei, who was originally sleepy, opened his eyes gently, a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and whispered: "What a coward, but he is so good-looking." ”

Speaking of this, the pure and beautiful white face was slightly reddened, and the clear eyes were full of spring.

After Meng Ran came to the backyard, he first practiced the sword for a while, and then meditated against the rising sun that had not yet fully risen to cultivate his true qi.

......

Compared with the quiet and peaceful Nanhu Lane Mengfu, the capital is already as lively and noisy as a pot of boiling water, not long after Qin Tianjian's criticism was sent to the palace last night, the emperor hurried to the inner study and stayed in it for a long time.

At about three o'clock, the emperor ordered the Imperial City Division to go and notify the ministers above the fourth rank to participate in the temporary court meeting.

As soon as this news came out, it was like cold water falling into a boiling oil pot, setting off a lot of twists and turns and speculations, and the ministers who happened to be resting at home on the day had different thoughts, and countless selfish tricks appeared under the gorgeous clothes.

In the majestic Xuanzheng Palace, many ministers stood in two columns, civil and military, and stood there respectfully, waiting for the arrival of Emperor Liang Heng.

After a long time, under the support of the palace ladies and internal officials, the emperor with frosty sideburns came and sat on the dragon chair with a tired face, looking at the neatly standing imperial cornerstone in front of him with an unfathomable expression.

Under the command of the internal officials, the ministers made great salutes one after another, and then stood up and waited for the emperor to speak.

Unexpectedly, the emperor just glanced at the internal official, and the internal official stepped forward and shouted loudly: "If there is something to play, there is nothing to retreat." ”

Although the people who can stand in this hall are not mediocre people, they are also confused by this inexplicable hand, informing everyone that it is the emperor who has come to the court, and it is also the emperor who says that he has nothing to do to retreat from the court.

At this time, a eunuch who had been standing in the corner took a few steps forward and said softly: "Your Majesty, the old slave has something to do." ”

The emperor raised his eyebrows and said in a deep voice: "Say it." ”

Although the eunuch's voice was gentle, he said something that made many ministers hesitate, "Your Majesty, there was a vision in the sky last night, and Qin Tianjian specially wrote down his criticism. ”

Under the gaze of the minister of civil and military affairs, the eunuch bowed slightly and presented the bronze pipe carved with many patterns and symbols in his hand to the emperor.

The emperor took out a note from the copper pipe, looked at it carefully, and then ordered with an ugly face: "Yu Chaoen, pass the note to all Aiqing." ”

This eunuch is called Yu Chaoen, is a close confidant of the current emperor, when Liang Heng was still the king of Chu and was called Liang Jue, he was already in the palace of the king of Chu, and he was very good at being a man on weekdays, and he was quite diligent and thoughtful, so he was very trusted by Liang Heng.

Later, he did some more obscure things in the process of Liang Heng's succession, although he was not obvious in the foreign courts, but he really made contributions, so he was brought into the palace by the emperor.

Today, Yu Chaoen is already the number one in charge of the Inner Chamberlain of the Great Liang Palace, and he has been the inner attendant of the Sanpin, serving Liang Heng day and night, and he is a true henchman of the emperor.

After Yu Chaoen took the note handed by the emperor, he slowly walked down the steps carved from jade, and handed the things in his hand to the right servant of Shangshu who was standing on the left.

Since ancient times, the position of the upper dynasty has been respected by the right, so the right of the civil and the military is the left, but since the establishment of the Liang State, the civil officials are on the left and the military attaches are on the right. It is said that this is from the work of a wise man: "If a gentleman lives on the left, he will be on the right, and if he uses soldiers, he will be on the right." ”

After the elderly grandson Baoyu took it, he was able to see the handwriting on it with his faint old eyes, and then handed the note back to the inner chamberlain with a calm face.

If it weren't for Yu Chaoen staring at this old man all the time, I am afraid it would be difficult to find the cold glint in the eyes of this Gongsun Lord.

After Yu Chaoen took it, he took a few steps to the right and handed the things in his hand to Zhang Ziyi, the pillar country who was in the first place on the right.

Zhang Ziyi was born in a reckless manner, although he is now ranked first among the generals, but he is still hot-tempered and fierce, as soon as he saw the content of the note, he immediately stared at the tiger's eyes, threw the note in his hand into the arms of the great eunuch Yu Chaoen, and shouted angrily: "This group of Qin Tianjian knows that they are pretending to be gods and ghosts, and they are good at peace, and they are coming to make wind and rain, can they not see the safety of the people?"

The saliva on his face was not different, and he just said in a harmonious voice, "Please Zhu Guo calm his anger, the sky has a vision, and Qin Tianjian gives criticism, it's just his duty." ”

Zhang Ziyi just snorted coldly and didn't say anything more presumptuous.

Yu Chaoen came to the left column, handed the note to Xiao Daocheng, the second Chinese scholar, and then returned to his original standing position, continuing to be the unobtrusive low-key invisible man.

Xiao Daocheng looked at it, his face was very solemn, and he casually handed the note to Zhou Daoyun, the doorman behind him.

After that, the note was passed and read among the civil officials, and when it was at the end, the civil official in the dark crimson official robe stepped forward for more than a dozen steps, handed the object to the second person in the military attache on the right, and then respectfully retreated.

After the note was circulated in the military attache column, the military attache standing at the end walked to His Majesty's steps and handed the things back to the great eunuch Yu Chaoen.

After this circle, more than half of the incense has passed, and the original soft and bright white paper has been a little wrinkled and wet, and many courtiers are already full of nervousness, for fear that this unlucky comment will affect their net worth.

"Ahem...", the emperor sitting on the dragon chair coughed lightly, looked at the ministers standing respectfully with a serious expression, and asked in a deep voice: "What do you Aiqing think? Let's talk about it, let's start with the right servant." ”

Gongsun Baoyu's heart jumped, and he slowly came out of the ranks, and said in a low voice: "The old minister is dazzled and deaf, he really can't understand Qin Tianjian's comments, please forgive your majesty." ”

The emperor raised his eyebrows, his face sank slightly, but he didn't say anything to scold, just comforted: "The boss has worked hard for the country and the people all his life, it is really hard, how can I blame it." ”

Speaking of this, the emperor already looked at the big eunuch standing on the side, and ordered: "Yu Chaoen, after the dynasty is dispersed, add a few pieces of fox fur from Yingzhou to the old man's mansion, don't let the old man suffer the cold." ”

Yu Chaoen said yes.

Gongsun Baoyu, who returned to the queue, naturally thanked the emperor.

At this point, the whole hall fell into silence, no one wants to be this bird, after all, not everyone has the same treatment as an adult, if you really want to speak, you naturally have to say one, two, three.

After a long time, there was still no one in the ranks.

The emperor's face gradually became difficult to look at, and Zhang Ziyi, who was at the top of the right column, simply lowered his head and looked at the floor under his feet fixedly, as if there were six Taos and three strategies on it, which hooked his mind.

Xiao Daocheng, the squire of the Chinese book, walked out of the queue and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks this is a good omen. The moon is the lord of the Zhou sky, accompanied by two stars, which means that there will be sages in our dynasty to assist His Majesty in achieving immortal feats, surpassing the three emperors and suppressing the five emperors. ”

The emperor's face softened slightly, although these sycophants were a little excessive, but people always like to listen to good and obedient words, so he also made up his mind: "Xiao Aiqing retreat, let Zhu Guo talk about his opinion." ”

After these words, Zhang Ziyi didn't move, until Wei Shanhui, the upper protector behind him, stabbed him, Zhang Ziyi turned around and looked back, and asked in a loud voice: "What's the matter with Uncle Guo?"

Wei Shanhui had no choice but to repeat the emperor's words.

After hearing this, Zhang Ziyi first smiled apologetically at the emperor, and then came out and said: "The minister is a reckless man, he only knows how to go into battle to kill the enemy and arrange troops, but he doesn't know the deep meaning behind this sentence, and I hope Your Majesty will be guilty." ”

In the face of Zhang Ziyi's prevarication, the emperor said expressionlessly: "Since Zhuguo has no ideas, please go back to the column, and then Uncle Guo will talk about his views." ”

Wei Shanhui had no choice but to grit his teeth and say something against his will.

After the rest of the ministers finished expressing their opinions that were neither painful nor salty, the emperor sitting on the high dragon chair was already angry, and reprimanded the Manchu civil and military forces: "Are you just prevaricating like this? Are you still comfortable eating the monthly smelt? I can't tell you anything about this little thing, so what do you want?"

After venting, the emperor said lightly: "Since you don't want to say it here, let's go to the fold, if you dare to talk like this nonsense on the recital, don't blame me for not talking about the friendship between the monarch and the minister." ”

With that, the emperor shook his red sleeves vigorously and returned to the inner study angrily.

The ministers bowed goodbye to the emperor's back.

After the end of the dynasty on this day, the ministers did not get together to talk about current affairs as in the past, but dispersed separately, without the slightest phenomenon of forming a group, which can be regarded as a great spectacle.
