The geese returning from the north rustled across the sky, Yu Jinnian looked up, thinking that when he met Ji Hong in Xin'an County, it was also the season for swan geese to fly high, but now, the geese flying south have returned.
He took a nap on the rattan chair with the white beauty in his arms, the May wind was blowing on his face lukewarm, and he was really sleepy after a while. The rattan chair shook and shook, and the white beauty's tail swayed slowly. Recently, the white beauty has become more and more heavy. She can eat several meals a day, and she no longer jumps up and down to catch Xiaoyan. She follows people wherever she goes, and likes to sleep next to people.
It was only later that Yu Jinnian discovered that the white beauty's waist had grown quite thick—it turned out that she became a cat mother unknowingly and had cubs in her stomach. Three cats and four dogs, Jinyou Tingli is going to be happy again, I hope the little ones look like mothers and not like fathers.
The Sanyu Building has been repaired, but it has not reopened. Yu Jinnian is waiting for Su Ting to come back safely. It is said that he worked day and night on the southern battlefield, braved the embers of gunpowder to rush back to transport wounded soldiers, and even saved General Helian's life. No one in the Imperial Medical Department knows the art of suturing better than him, and he is not afraid of danger, and the whole barracks are very grateful to him. Helian asked his family's favor directly, saying that he would recommend him to the imperial doctor's office, but Su Ting didn't reply for a long time, and he didn't know what to think.
Su Ting is really promising, and Bai Haitang's soul in the sky can also be relieved.
Yu Jinnian thought, he will be released as a teacher in two years, when Xiao Haitang will grow up, and the two of them, father and daughter, will not be able to live in the third building and be waiters for the rest of their lives. Whether the location is good or not, it depends on Su Ting's own plan!
In the battle against the rebellion, there were countless casualties, and the generals of the rebellion army were also killed, with layers of white stripes wrapped around their bodies. The Son of Heaven granted permission for Min Ji and his party to march slowly, and send post horses to send troops to return with talisman documents, so that people don't have to rush back to Beijing to return to their orders, the priority is to heal the wounded.
People in the capital are still in a state of panic, searching everywhere for the remnants of the rebels, pulling out radishes and bringing out mud, and even the harem has Yan Chang's eyeliner. The Lu family was completely ruined. Back then when Duke Li's mansion was in trouble, the Lu family often fell into trouble, and Concubine Lu was short-sighted enough to be able to fall for the noble concubine, and she often provoked it. Now that everything is over, the noble concubine is still a noble concubine, and her holy favor is not fading. There are even rumors in the palace that the emperor is going to make her his queen.
In order to save their lives, the Lu family found a bunch of princes and nobles who were close friends with Yan Chang. Today, the imperial guards are arresting people all over the street outside. In Jinyou Ting, you can even hear the solemn movement of lightly armored people wandering outside. , I don't know who the next mourner should be.
Nearly half of the officials of the various ministries have changed, and they are all old acquaintances of the King of Yue. I think Yan Chang will not be too lonely in the prison.
Just after the three-month abstinence period, a servant secretly bought a small jar of wine for him to drink. He closed his eyes and smelled the faint smell of alcohol in the air, leaned on the wicker chair to bask in the sun, hugged the cat, and breathed a long sigh of relief.
—Finally able to sleep without distracting thoughts.
When the flowers in the capital city were in full bloom, Min Xuefei and his party finally arrived at the capital slowly. There was a long, sharp and high-pitched sound, and it was the sound of horns and drums on the upper floor of Xia Jing City, celebrating the victory. The gate of Tai'an opened slowly, and all the officials greeted them. Colors were displayed along the street, and the people cheered with great momentum. Xia Jing's political party has been in panic for too long, and he urgently needs such a lively event to dilute the depression of these days.
Lianzhi's chariots and horses followed the generals into the city. He slightly opened a gap and saw Min Xuefei on the horseback in front of him, dressed in armor, and the killing spirit brought back from the battlefield had not yet dissipated. Chi Sha, he used to smile, with a slight curvature on the corner of his mouth. Wearing a long sword at the waist, with a heroic posture and high spirits, what a sight it is.
The bright sun shines on the eaves, and the city is full of flowers, so the dream lover of the good girl in the boudoir has such features.
The road to the palace was so long, they obviously walked around the palace city, but Lian Zhi still felt that it was like a moment, in the blink of an eye, there was already a red palace wall in front of his face. The confidant eunuch Fusheng came out happily with a group of young people, kneeling in two rows at the gate of the palace, and behind them were officials waiting to go to court, among them was Ji Hong.
Lian Zhi reluctantly got out of the carriage, and looked back at Min Xuefei.
When will we see you next time? If I had known that the separation was so fast, I should have given myself to him a few days ago, at least without regret.
Lian Zhi suddenly came back to his senses, shocked what he was thinking about, he was injured! In broad daylight, Lian Zhi had already begun to miss Min Xuefei before they were separated, with such urgency. He stared at the other side dazedly, watching Min Xuefei enter the palace gate surrounded by all the officials, he hurriedly chased after a few steps, but didn't speak, the crowd was so crowded that he couldn't see him anymore.
My heart is still a little lost.
Fusheng came up and whispered a few words in his ear, Lianzhi put his mind away, and walked towards Sigongtai.
In the west side hall of Sigongtai, more than a dozen servants came in and out tremblingly, arresting people everywhere outside the palace, and it was the same in the palace. People disappeared quietly every day in every palace. Most people are used to it, but it doesn’t mean they don’t feel it. fear. The bloody smell outside the palace hovered over Miyagi, and everyone was frightened.
Suddenly there was a "bang"!
The palace gate of Sigongtai was knocked open, and a group of people rushed in, including the imperial guards and the inner prisoner.
This is to catch people and kill people! It's finally Sigongtai's turn! The little eunuchs shivered and knelt on the ground, and a team of iron-faced guards ran past by their ears. The palace was searched, the footsteps in the palace were messy, and the sound of scolding and crying was endless. .
Shi Shiran walked into the hall with a hem of clothes fluttering in, with light and steady steps, and unceremoniously lifted the hem of the clothes and sat on the front seat of the hall, tapping his fingertips on the edge of the table. The whole place was chaotic, crying and begging for mercy one after another, but he watched with cold eyes, indifferent. A young eunuch bravely glanced at them—the arrogant big flower embroidery on the black brocade boots, the red official clothes, and a pair of peony-like eyebrows and eyes, staring down at them condescendingly.
He was a eunuch, but he didn't look like a eunuch, and he still had an arrogance that hadn't been wiped clean.
A bunch of people were pulled out and knelt down, all of whom were once Feng Jian's eyes and ears. The disobedient and the abusive ones shot down and didn't even have time to take a second breath. They were wrapped in mats and carried out without blinking.
The little eunuch's heart skipped a beat, this one just returned to Beijing, and now he's here to expose Feng Jian's direct lineage! He thought to himself, Si Gongtai is finally about to change. But God knows, their young supervisor is Feng Jian's biggest direct descendant.
The imperial guards took the chief eunuch Feng Jian out of his gold and silver nest, saying that he wanted to hang himself on the beam, but he didn't die, and was hacked down by the imperial guards. Arriving at the Xipei Hall and kneeling in front of Lian Zhi, Feng Jian's hair was in a messy bun and his description was messed up, as if his back was bent in an instant. He looked up and saw Lian Zhi sitting on the main seat, and suddenly laughed outrageously: "You bastard who forgets his ancestors! You ungrateful white-eyed wolf! If I knew you had two intentions, I should have let you be killed in the first place. In that flower mud!"
Lian Zhi twirled the finger in his hand, and smiled suddenly: "We all owe the emperor's favor and receive the emperor's reward. I really don't know who the ancestor Feng Dajian is talking about."
Feng Jian was dying in the hands of the guards, the more Lian Zhi didn't let him speak, the more he would be happy, anyway, it was already like this, but he didn't expect that the one who arrested him was his godson who was eagerly raised .
"When you climb into the prime minister's mansion, you can sit back and relax?! Does the surname Min really regard you as a person! You are just his little thing! Good flowers don't always bloom, and good times don't always come. He can really protect you Forever? We are born slaves in the palace, and we die as lonely ghosts in the palace. Who can treat us as human beings! Lianzhi, Lianzhi, my good job, you are such a fool! Only a godfather can It really hurts you!"
"Whose father are you!" Fusheng took a look at Lianzhi's face, immediately woke up, stepped forward and yelled, "Gag him, and push him down!"
"—Lianzhi, you are an eunuch! I remember day and night that you are just an eunuch!" From a distance, Feng Jian still shouted, "Ha! Look, today is our family, and tomorrow will be you …”
As a eunuch, he didn't intend to die well, and it's best not to expect too much, Lian Zhi knows what he is. But Lianzhi didn't regret it.
The eunuchs of Feng Jian's direct line were dragged out one after another, and the servants who were kneeling on the ground looked at each other in disbelief. On a mountain as high as Feng Jian, the eunuchs carefully served their ancestors for decades. Feng Jian, who followed the first emperor and then His Majesty, just like that... collapsed? In the future, on the Si Gongtai, it will be Lian Zhi's speech
Lian Zhi's complexion was slightly pale, regardless of the whispers of the people below, he lowered his head and kneaded the space between his brows. Fu Sheng brought tea and advised him to go back and rest for a while, Si Gongtai beat and killed many people, and when he woke up, he still had a lot of things to deal with. You especially have to go back to change clothes first, and prepare to report to the emperor about the military supervision after the next court. In the future, on the side of the emperor, maybe he will also be asked to accompany him, after all, there is no one on the Si Gongtai who is more capable than Lian Shaojian.
No, I should be called Supervisor Lian from now on.
Lian Zhi nodded, went back to the room, took off her clothes and leaned on the beauty couch for a nap. Sigongtai changed dynasties, and it was still orderly, and they all worked step by step. Several guards searched for criminal evidence in Feng Jian's residence.
Feng Jian's residence was separated from Lianzhi by a wall, Fusheng closed the door, lit some incense, and ironed clothes outside, listening to the turmoil outside, he sighed in his heart. Although Feng Jian said that he formed a clique for personal gain, abused power and took money, and committed a lot of unjust prisons, but he really loved Lian Zhi very much and raised him as half his son. Feng Jian fell down, and Lian Zhi was really the only one on the Si Gongtai.
In the future, in the future... Fusheng thought of the gentle and jade-like Mr. Min, and shook his head again. How could eunuchs and court officials last for a long time. Guessing that it was time to leave for the morning, Fusheng put down his clothes, thinking whether he should wake Lianzhi up or not—suddenly a servant came running in and hurriedly asked to see him.
Fusheng saw that it was from the imperial study room, and it was Lianzhi's eyeliner, so he didn't dare to stop him.
After entering the room, the servant opened his mouth and said, "It's not good! Your Majesty was furious when Mr. Ji resisted the decree in court, and almost dismissed Mr. Ji... Now, Mr. Ji is kneeling outside the Hall of Yinggan! Look at Your Majesty." It means that if he refuses to give in, he will be asked to kneel in front of the palace."
Fu Sheng was taken aback.
…
The sun was so strong at noon, and even in May, it could burn people to death. In front of the Hall of Valor, there was a large square, which was so spacious that there was no shade at all, enough for a military parade. The officials of the San Dynasty walked past him in twos and threes, some looked down, and some hurriedly left.
Min Xuefei was dressed in armor, sealed with rewards, and his face was very radiant. The Min family is already in the official position, the power is at the peak, and Master Xiao Min is so promising, with both civil and military skills, he will definitely succeed his father in the future, enter the political hall, and become the prime minister.
Although it is said to be treasonous now, but thinking about it, if His Majesty controls the dragon and bintian today, and the youngest son ascends the throne, at that time, the former court is Min Ji, the inner court is full of branches, and the imperial concubine Ji is in the harem... If you want to control the government, it will be more than an "easy feat". It's just a bag of tricks! It's too late if you don't flatter!
All the officials greeted him and congratulated in a low voice. Min Xuefei didn't know that he had become a "powerful minister" for no reason. He turned his head and looked away, walked into the bright sun on the square in front of the hall, looked down at Ji Hong who was punished to kneel, and laughed for a long time : "Do you know, this is called audacity, ignorance of flattery."
Ji Hong was in a good mood, flicked his sleeves, and knelt upright: "You are not envious."
"..." Min Xuefei made a joke of him but was stabbed in the center of the heart, fell down angrily, stared at Ji Hong for a while and flung his sleeves away.
When Lian Zhi heard about this, his face turned pale with fright, he resisted the order and refused to obey, how courageous he is! When Fu Sheng rushed to the outside of the Yinggan Hall, the crowd had already dispersed. In the bright and clear sky, there was only Mr. Ji alone. Fu Sheng glanced at it from a distance, made a clear inquiry, and then asked the little boy beside him to secretly stuff two knee pads in, but Master Ji didn't know what to do, so he refused to take it!
After staring at it for a while, Fusheng trotted back all the way, Lian Zhi frowned and asked, "What's going on?"
Fusheng dragged him aside, and put his ear on him falteringly.
Lian Zhi was startled: "Is he crazy?!"
Fusheng thought to himself, am I crazy? Resisting the decree in court, holding meritorious deeds and asking for rewards, not only for himself, but also for others, the invitation made everyone stunned and shocked. In the scene in the morning, both the living man and the internal historian lowered their heads and talked about it, feeling that they could not write. Daxia has been in power for more than a hundred years, and there is no one who is more independent than Mr. Ji, and I am afraid that there will be no one in the next hundred years.
Lian Zhi feels a pain in his head, and he thinks that tomorrow, Shen Ji Hong's self-conceited and contemptuous achievements will crush the beams of the house.
From noon to Rixi, the palace consciously didn't mention Ji Hong's affairs, but there was nothing ahead, Si Gongtai didn't seem anxious, and only sent a small servant to deliver a cup of tea to the square of Yinggan Hall from time to time. At night, Lian Zhi casually ate two mouthfuls of porridge, and then continued to deal with the backlog of paperwork in the Si Gongtai without rest, as if he didn't remember that there was Ji Hong kneeling in front of him.
Fusheng absently sorted out the old files on the other table, and reassigned people to the various palaces. He looked out the window to look at the sky from time to time. The sky was full of stars, and the night sky was like ink. After cutting the lantern flower twice, Lian Zhi finally stopped writing, loosened his wrist, and asked Fu Sheng, who was wandering in the sky, "What time is it?"
Fu Sheng hurriedly replied: "Quick time."
Lian Zhi: "Still kneeling?"
Fusheng nodded: "I haven't moved."
Lian Zhi asked again: "Have the lamps been blown in the Imperial Study Room?"
"Nothing. Earlier, I heard His Majesty getting angry inside. He dropped a few teacups and was so angry that he coughed. The servants took their own initiative and invited the imperial concubine to go over, and talked with them all night. No, just now The subordinate sent a message saying that His Majesty will be fine for a while. Even though he was still stiff, he didn't say to ask Master Ji to get up."
Lian Zhi raised his eyebrows slightly: "Let's go, let's go to the Yinggan Hall."
Fu Sheng hurriedly followed, and the two circled around to the Hall of Yinggan, only to see a dark figure with a slender silhouette on the square. Lian Zhi watched from a distance in the shadow of Yinggan Hall for a while, then suddenly turned his head and walked towards the back of the palace, Fu Sheng was looking at Mrs Ji, and when he turned his head, Lian Zhi had already walked seven or eight feet away, looking in the direction of the Imperial Study Room. He quickly followed and asked what to do.
"Tell me, throughout the ages, what is Quan Xi good at?" Lian Zhi suddenly asked. These words were sensitive and unfavorable, so Fu Sheng kept his mouth shut and did not answer. Lian Zhi flicked his sleeves, and the dust on his clothes jumped up against the moonlight, he said, "Slander, sow discord. Now that Mr. Ji has offered to hand over a long pole, how can I not climb along it? Go, Go to the Royal Study Room to serve tea."
Fu Sheng was terrified, who was he trying to provoke, His Majesty and Lord Ji? Why did this group of people go down to the south of the Yangtze River and fight back, and when they came back, they all rushed to die as if they were destined to be cast in iron! Ancestor, Fusheng followed behind Lianzhi, put his hands together and bowed to the blue sky above his head, God open his eyes, God open his eyes, please don't let any more moths come out.
Just passed the Chengxin Gate in the dark, and bumped into a hurried figure outside the imperial study, circling suspiciously in place, holding a cup of soup in his hand. Take a closer look, it's His Highness.
The First Prince lingered for a few steps and was going up the steps, when he turned his head and suddenly saw Lian Zhi who was also holding a teacup, both of them were stunned for a moment. The eldest prince blinked, coughed twice, raised his face and pretended to be cold, and said: "Even the inner eunuch is here to serve tea to father?"
Lian Zhi saluted with a gentle smile: "Exactly. Your Highness is filial, and also came to deliver soup."
"..."
Fu Sheng swallowed his saliva.
I heard that when they were in Chunan City in the previous summer, their great highness was infected with a serious epidemic and almost died of the disease. If it wasn't for the young genius doctor Yu who had rejuvenated and made a decisive decision, his highness would have reported to the Yan Luo Palace at this moment. How fierce and severe the epidemic was, the number of deaths inside and outside the capital was uncountable, and Chunan City was so empty that even the palace was filled with lingering fears. Now His Royal Highness can continue to invite pets from a few hairless little princes, It was a miracle indeed.
Lian Zhi cautiously took two steps sideways, letting the eldest prince walk in front. The little boy was not very tall, and he hadn't fully grown yet. There was a soft twist on his head, but he was already trying his best to put on the appearance of the eldest son of the emperor. look.
He suddenly asked Lian Zhi: "Inner Prison Lian, have you ever seen a little miracle doctor?"
Lian Zhi looked as usual: "I don't know which little genius doctor His Highness is talking about."
His Highness rolled his toes on the steps, and said uncomfortably, "I owe him a favor."
Lian Zhi turned his head to look at him, His Majesty's face was rosy, white and pink, extremely delicate. He bent down to help the eldest prince straighten his clothes, smoothed the palace belt, watched the little boy straighten his back, frowned, and went in to ask for a reward for his little benefactor.
Kindness will indeed be rewarded, and the way of heaven is always fair, Lianzhi said.
