Before dawn, the sound of gongs echoed in the palace. The shrill voice will go up to the emperor and down to the palace maids, all of whom will wake up.

"It's been a fifth watch...... Chen Ruo turned over, sleepiness was in his body, and his eyelids couldn't be opened, as if the eyedroppings had glued his eyelids.

The eunuchs and palace maids who got up in advance outside pushed open the door and rushed in, bringing many washing utensils.

They stared at the emperor, who was still crooked on the bed.

Chen Ruoyi patted the side of the bed, sat up, washed and changed with his eyes half-closed.

His performance is no different from that of an office worker who wants to lie in bed in winter.

Chen Ruo couldn't remember how long it had been since he had slept in, and since he ascended to this damn throne, he had to manage the government diligently every day. If he slacks off a little, the civil officials will use all kinds of soft and hard measures, and he can't raise his head when he smashes the ground with bitter words.

He sat mechanically in a human-powered sedan chair and was carried to the Hall of Everything, where everyday things were handled.

Chen Ruo needs to correct the one-hour recital before he can go to breakfast. The emperor's appearance is glamorous, but behind it are countless days and nights of hard work.

"Those tyrants, faint kings are really comfortable......" Chen Ruo took the fold from a small eunuch, and was slightly stunned when he opened it, and couldn't help but envy the lives of those people in his heart.

"If only I could sleep in......"

Chen Ruo shook his head and looked at the fold in his hand.

Is there any new change in the Heavenly Prison again?

Chen Ruo looked down and saw that it read: "Yesterday, the winter thunder resounded in Chang'an, the western part of Guanwai Road, the eastern part of Jixi Road, Tianxin Lake, the northernmost two provinces and other places, there will be a severe cold once in 50 years, I hope Your Majesty will make overall plans to deal with the frost disaster." "After the Heavenly Watchman handed over the stargazing results of the changes in the Great Dao, his power gradually expanded, and now he is not only doing stargazing duties.

Although Chen Ruo was also a little mentally prepared when he heard the thunder yesterday, he didn't expect the scope of the impact to be so large.

"Disaster, disaster again, the geological changes in front of me have already given me a headache, this is another frost disaster! It just happened that when my Datang was waging a protracted war against the barbarians, was the sky coming to consume my Datang's national strength!" Chen Ruo was furious, and his voice was like thunder, resounding throughout the hall, and many subordinates did not dare to gasp.

Although Chen Ruo hates to be the emperor, he will still be responsible for his internal affairs, which is why he is angry - he stands in the position of the Tang Dynasty.

"Why is the emperor so angry......" A person came in outside, it was the great eunuch Feng Yuan.

Chen Ruo took a deep breath, calmed down, and smiled at Feng Yuan: "Uncle Feng, are you here? ”

Feng Yuan had the power to walk around the palace at will.

He took the recital of the Heavenly Watcher, looked at it for a while, and then looked up at Chen Ruo.

Chen Ruo is not young, his temples are slightly frosty, and there are several wrinkles on his face.

Feng Yuan sighed lightly and said softly, "Your Majesty, you have worked hard. ”

"In his position, he is not hard. Chen Ruo also looked at Feng Yuan.

This powerful eunuch is also over seventy years old, with white hair, a relatively young face, and a little childish appearance. However, the old state cannot be covered, and Chen Ruo can't help but feel sad from it.

Chen Ruo continued: "Uncle Feng, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on one day. ”

Feng Yuan stared at his eyes, looked serious, and said, "Your Majesty, you are the foundation of a country, and if you can't hold it, you have to hold it." As soon as you fall, Datang will be in chaos. ”

"Uncle Feng, do you know what I hate about you the most?" Chen Ruo opened the next notebook and said while reading it.

The rest of the people had gone out of the house at an unknown time, and the two were left alone in the temple.

Feng Yuan was puzzled: "Could it be that I am old and dizzy, and the help I provided to the emperor is not as good as it was back then?"

"You're always telling the truth. Chen Ruo finished the book, which was very efficient, and he didn't raise his head.

Feng Yuan laughed and didn't answer.

"If he changes into a white dress, he will say, 'Your Majesty, you are resting, I am holding you up'. Chen Ruo said.

Feng Yuan squinted slightly, and said, "Your Majesty, you must be careful of him......"

"Well, you've said this many times, and it's well known to the government and the opposition that you two don't deal with each other. Today, let's be ordinary uncles and nephews, talk about it, and don't mention those political things. Chen Ruo stopped his pen and raised his head and said to Feng Yuan.

Feng Yuan said yes.

"Alas, don't talk about politics, I just want to say it again, it's really a joke...... Uncle Feng, you say that I am the foundation of a country, but I see, those families are the foundation of a country. Look at me, I stay in the palace all day, and I can only listen to others say what is happening outside. He put down his pen, "The last time I remember civilian life, when I was a child, how many years have it been? Thirty or forty? I can't remember it anymore!"

Feng Yuan interjected: "If the emperor wants to travel, I can start arranging it." ”

"That's not the point," Chen Ruo's eyes lit up and darkened again, "What I want to say is that the family's constraints on me are too great. I dare to say that the small families in their jurisdiction only recognize the family, not the emperor. ”

Feng Yuan couldn't help but say: "The emperor's words are exaggerated......"

"Hahaha," Chen Ruo sneered, leaning back in his chair, "You are freer than me, closer to them than me, so you don't have to say these deceitful words." ”

Feng Yuan kowtowed and said, "The emperor forgives the sin." He had some doubts in his heart, today's Chen Ruo was not at all like him in the past. Ordinary Chen Ruo can't wait to finish his job, so he runs away immediately, how can he think about anything else.

"All I have in my life thought of the rags that will one day tear off the heads of the people, and they are greedy bloods-suckers. Chen Ruo tilted his head and began to review the folds again.

"Dare to ask the emperor, did Chen Xiang say these words to you. Feng Yuanfa asked.

"Yes, Bai Yi's words made me feel empowered, so I said, Uncle Feng, don't keep fighting with him, everyone is a family, work hard together, wouldn't it be good to deal with those families. Chen Ruo said assumedly.

Sure enough, Feng Yuan was very dissatisfied with Chen Baiyi's brainwashing of Chen Ruo.

Feng Yuan said slowly: "What about the princes? They are also sucking blood. ”

"They have merit and can withstand this. ”

"Whose work?"

"Theirs. ”

"No, it is the work of many deceased soldiers, it is they who have brought up the current prince at the cost of no bones. Besides, what about you?"

"Me?" Chen Ruo was stunned when he heard this.

"That's right, the royal family is the biggest family, the biggest bloodsucking ......"

As soon as the words came out, Feng Yuan immediately regretted it, because he exposed the wet and dirty truth under the tiles, and washed Chen Ruo's previous sense of justice.

"Uncle Feng, you're joking, this world always needs people to sit in this position, as long as my Chen family is not moral, that is the best result. To Feng Yuan's surprise, Chen Ruo did not directly get angry, but thought for a while and replied seriously.

Feng Yuan saluted respectfully and said, "The emperor can be said to have won the heart of Gu Mingjun. ”

Feng Yuan didn't want to continue talking, and Chen Ruo was also lacking in interest.

Chen Ruo looked at Feng Yuan who was retreating, and felt that the familiar face became extremely unfamiliar, and he said in a low voice: "Feng Yuan, Feng Yuan, you still don't understand me......"

"If the decree continues, Feng Yuan will be deprived of the right to walk at will from now on. ”

"Yes. ”

......

Boom!

Xu Yunshen punched Xu Yujing, she could catch it, her face turned pale, and her body trembled a little.

This class is practice, and Xu Yunshen practiced with Xu Yujing before he came.

But seeing her very painful look, Xu Yunshen couldn't help but wonder if her strength had recovered and her punches were too heavy.

"Are you alright?

After all, he is a colleague who also works for the crown prince, and the necessary care is still needed.

Xu Yujing glanced at him, shook his head, and replied, "It's okay." ”

"I knew you would say that, don't pretend, what the hell is going on. Xu Yunshen rolled his eyes, looking incredulous.

Xu Yujing glanced at him resentfully: "It's just that there are some injuries on his body." ”

"If you have an injury to be treated, why do you look at me like this, I didn't make it, I don't have the money to find a doctor? Here, this is a hundred taels, you go and cure it first. Xu Yun took out a silver ticket from his arms with deep thoughts, which was quite generous.

Xu Yujing was in a complicated mood, and under Xu Yunshen's urging, he still asked for leave and went to the hospital.

Originally, the existence of dead people and the like should have a high tolerance for pain, but Xu Yujing was born sensitive, and she could feel three points if ordinary people felt it. That's why it's hard to endure the pain.

However, there are also pros and cons to this talent, which will be discussed later.

Under the treatment of the doctor, Xu Yujing was slightly distracted.

At the moment when the second-degree sentence was added, the sharp pain made her faint and wake up again, but fortunately it was stopped in time and she did not die because of the pain.

After the end, Xu Yujing has been in a state of thought.

Now, too, she is thinking about her own way out, or the meaning of existence.

For now, she was designated by Chen Yan to protect Xu Yunshen, even if she died.

Is it worth it? Whoever I have met a few times, I will die for him because of the command. Xu Yujing was a little resentful.

After a while, Xu Yujing felt that the wound had healed sixty percent of itself, and then it was bandaged. Then she followed the healer to get some medicine.

"Fifty taels for treatment, two taels for bandaging, twenty-five taels for medicinal herbs, and ten taels for emergency treatment, a total of eighty-seven taels. The female healer said with a smile as she bared a mouthful of large white teeth.

Xu Yujing took out the one hundred taels that Xu Yunshen gave her, and then carried a bag of medicine and the thirteen taels that were recovered.

She lifted the medicine and looked at it, and said softly: "If you are still a good person, I will protect you once, just once." ”

"What are you talking about?" Xu Yunshen saw her in the distance, ran over, and saw Xu Yujing's mouth moving on the way, but he couldn't hear what he was talking about, and when he got closer, he couldn't help asking.

Xu Yujing laughed and said, "I'm saying, you're a good person." ”

"Don't think that you don't have to pay for it, I'll ask the prince for reimbursement of this money. Xu Yunshen looked vigilant.

Xu Yujing was dumbfounded, and couldn't help begging: "Don't ......"

"Huh?" Xu Yunshen felt that there must be a demon when something went wrong, staring at Xu Yujing, waiting for her to speak later.

"Actually, I'm hurt...... If you go to him, I may be punished again. I'll pay it back slowly......" She shuddered at the thought of the pain of the terrible thorns plowing her back.

"Barely believe you once. Xu Yunshen touched his chin and nodded slightly.

Xu Yunshen is more critical of himself, but he is not conscious of Yuzhongge, and even righteousness and wealth, which also gives him a faint good reputation.

Most of the people who say good things about him are all kinds of vulnerable groups of civilians, and they are soft-spoken, compared to the two mouths of the big families, more people are still willing to listen to the children of the family.

Of course, there are people who will listen to those people.

......

Yang City strolls through the alleys of Chang'an.

Snowflakes fell on his shoulders, changing his wet clothes in an instant.

The clothes on Yang Shi's body were already soaked, and the cold soaked his body, making him more sober.

Soon, he arrived at the door of a mansion with the words "Zhao Mansion" written on it.

The streets were deserted, except for the occasional horse-drawn carriage and hawkers still picking up and selling in the cold, and it was estimated that ordinary people were huddled in their homes for the winter.

Yang Shi wore a thin knife and looked up.

He strode under the plaque, sneered, drew his saber, and suddenly the sign of "Zhao Mansion" was torn apart.
