Zhao Bixuan saw the opportunity to bring up the title. Seeing that the emperor was just pondering and did not object, she sent a message to the family and asked her father to hand over the document asking for the prince. Zhou Yunsheng saw that they really followed his own routine, and he couldn't help laughing a few times. With a big stroke of the pen, he was right, and he directly promoted Zhao Jidong to the bachelor of the Hanlin Academy from the fifth grade.
When the imperial decree arrived at the Marquis of Wenyuan, Mr. Fang and the old Marquis Wenyuan were ecstatic, but Mrs. Li, Zhao Xinran and the others were furious, and they wished they could send someone to attack the Mansion of the Marquis.
"My poor Xu'er, it was clearly your title, but it was snatched away by that slut. When you grow up, how can you stand in the capital in the future! The concubine took the title of direct viscount, and regarded the clan's etiquette as nothing, how could he be worthy of..."
"Enough!" Before Li Shi could finish howling, Zhao Xuan interrupted with a gloomy face. He is also in a very unhappy mood now. For Zhao Bixuan's prostitute, Qi Yining is so disregard of the secular etiquette, which makes him want to tie him up again to teach him a lesson. However, no matter how angry he was, he couldn't listen to others slander him.
"Dare to criticize the emperor, how many heads do you have? Don't talk about it again in the future, otherwise I won't be able to protect you. In the future, my title will be passed on to Xu'er. If you don't worry, I will file a petition." He lowered his eyes and rubbed his wrench.
"You gave Xu'er the title of Duke Yu? What about your descendants?" Li Shi was shocked.
"I won't have any heirs, it's just right to pass the title to Xu'er."
"How can you have no children? What do you mean, don't you plan to marry a wife and have children? Or maybe you were injured in the border battle? My son, how can you be so miserable!" Feeling that my last guess was true, I couldn't help beating my chest and burst into tears.
After Zhao Xinran broke off the marriage, he set up another marriage under the arrangement of his brother. The man's official position was not high, but he had no brothers and no concubines. He was also his brother's subordinate. Loyal, obedient, and married, she is the master wife of the house. There is no concubine, no trouble in the concubine's room, and life is not much leisure. Now she has also looked away, and when she heard the sound, she hurried over to comfort her mother. When she learned that her brother had been injured and could not bear children, she was also saddened, and lay on her mother's shoulder and cried silently.
Six-year-old Zhao Xu caught a cricket and passed by, walked around the two for a few times, and cried loudly, causing a group of servants to be in a hurry for a while.
Zhao Xuan didn't care about the miserable winds and rains in the house at all, and walked on the bustling streets with a gloomy face. He thought about whether to enter the palace at night and take off the man's clothes to teach him a lesson. The more he thought about it, the more evil thoughts came to his mind.
"Brother Zhao, can you come up and have a drink?" He suddenly heard someone calling from his head, and he looked up, but it was Prince Gong, Qi Jinyu.
Due to a relationship in his childhood, Prince Gong has always been very close to him, and often slipped out of the palace to play with him. The elder brother Zhao on the left and the elder brother Zhao on the right called out very affectionately, without the arrogance of a prince, and he wanted to meet him. He was looking for a gap to climb up at the time, so you and I went back and forth. This friendship was originally a political investment, and it didn't pay off in the end. On the contrary, it was Emperor Sheng's support and reuse all the way to make the Yu Guogong today. No matter how arrogant Zhao Xuan is, he still understands the principle of repaying his kindness. Naturally, he will not be easily wooed by Prince Gong, not to mention that the person sitting on the throne today is the one he has been asking for in his heart. Even if he destroys him with his own hands, he will not let others deceive him.
Zhao Xuan sneered in his heart, but his face softened slightly, and walked into the restaurant. This is the largest and most elegant restaurant in the capital. The building layout is in the shape of a T-shaped. Four simple and atmospheric buildings wrap a garden full of exotic flowers and plants. You can sit upstairs and enjoy delicious food while admiring the scenery, taste buds and spirit. can be greatly satisfied. There are several pavilions arranged in the garden, with willows weeping on all sides, the breeze is gentle, and the scenery is pleasant. Dining there, it will cost 10 taels of silver to reserve a seat, but there are many dignitaries competing for it.
"Why don't you dine in the pavilion?" Zhao Xuan and Qi Jinyu have been to the restaurant several times, and each time they have held banquets in the garden, and they have never visited the second floor.
"There is a reservation there." Qi Jinyu laughed.
Zhao Xuan's eyes flickered slightly, and he smiled, "Oh, what kind of immortal descended to earth, so that the shopkeeper didn't even buy your dignified Prince Gong's face." Although he asked this question, he had already guessed the identity of this person. Recalling his bright eyes and crimson cheeks, he had to sigh secretly—it really was a god from the Nine Heavens descended from the earth.
"Who else could it be?" Qi Jinyu pointed to the top of her head, meaning it was self-evident.
Come on right. Zhao Xuan picked up the wine glass and took a sip, feeling very satisfied.
"Speaking of which, the emperor has rectified the three armies this time, and it will be his turn to be stationed in the northwest soon. Brother Zhao, it is better for you to prepare early. Brother Zhao throws his head in the northwest and sheds blood, and is used to seeing swords and spears. I don’t know how the court battles are turbulent and conspiracy. Look at how many people have lost their heads during the court cleanings, not to mention the courtiers, even I am worried and trembling, for fear that one day I will be liquidated.” Qi Jinyu Drink a glass of booze and look sad.
These remarks are for the purpose of alienating the relationship between Zhao Xuan and Emperor Sheng, warning him not to stand with Emperor Sheng, and beware of all the bows; the second is to draw an ally for himself. Qi Jinyu worked hard to arrange for three years. For this reason, even the most beloved woman was folded in. Seeing that she was getting closer and closer to the position of supremacy, she did not expect Emperor Sheng to suddenly go crazy, and he just grew out in three or two times. All the wings are cut off. On the one hand, he was shocked by the other party's strategizing and decisive means of killing, and on the other hand, he was extremely unwilling.
Hearing this, Zhao Xuan sighed, but sneered disapprovingly in his heart. This man had just plotted against him with his front feet, and then his back feet came to win over him. Could it be that he was acting like a fool? In the past, in order to seek excitement, he might push him, but now it is absolutely impossible. He is the only one in the world who can move that person. If others try to reach out, he will definitely make him pay a painful price.
While thinking about it, the sound of inviting friends and companions came from downstairs. The two put down their wine glasses and looked down, but it was Zhao Jidong who led a group of elegantly dressed scribes in. Under the guidance of Xiao Er, they were in the beautiful pavilion. middle seat. After waiting for a short while, a young man in a green Confucian shirt and a folding fan walked in slowly, making the noisy lobby suddenly silent for a moment. The dignitaries were silent because they recognized the person's identity, but the common diners forgot their words because the person's appearance was truly peerless.
He is tall and tall with the appearance of pine and bamboo, his temperament is noble and the pride of frost and snow, his jade-colored face is extremely beautiful, and his dark eyes are as bright as cold stars. fold. The diners in the hall all praised the wonderful man in their hearts, and when he was far away, a few honorable people came back and wanted to catch up and salute.
Zhou Yun Sheng waved his hand and pointed to the Confucian shirts on his body, implying that they were visiting in disguise today, and it was not appropriate to reveal their identities. Several people bowed their heads and bowed their heads slightly.
As early as the moment before he came in, Qi Jinyu put down the bamboo curtain of the cubicle to prevent him from seeing. Standing behind the bamboo curtain, Zhao Xuan admired the man up and down from the gap. Seeing that he was dressed elegantly and walked with wind, he couldn't help sneering. It's only been a few days, but he has started to attract bees and butterflies again.
Isn't he romantic? That would make him flirtatious enough.
Qi Jinyu heard Zhao Xuan's sneer full of evil thoughts, and when he was dissatisfied with Qi Yining, there was a burst of joy in his heart. The private room where the two of them are located is facing the pavilion, and they can see everything in the pavilion just by glancing sideways. I saw that man walking over and patted Zhao Jidong, who stood up to greet him, on the shoulder with a folding fan, with a very intimate attitude. All the scribes were taken by his appearance and demeanor, and they were silent for a few breaths like everyone in the hall, and after they recovered, they started to chat with him.
Because the late emperor attached great importance to appearance, all handsome officials were promoted faster than their colleagues, and among several princes, he especially loved the third son who had a great appearance. In order to help him, he did not hesitate to force the queen to adopt him under his knees and give him to him. A direct descendant, and after his death, he made a will to let the third prince succeed the throne. To use modern people's words to describe it - he is a face control. As the saying goes, the people of Daqi have also inherited the habit of the late emperor to love beauty. They always treat beauties with great tolerance, and attach great importance to their appearance. Not only do women wear heavy makeup and brocade clothes, but even men often wear pink hairpins and draw eyebrows. Flaunting.
There are many beautiful people, but it is extremely rare to be as beautiful as someone who comes here. Everyone looked at Zhao Jidong, who was seven or eight similar to Concubine Huiyi, and looked at the visitors, and sighed in their hearts that this was the real number one beauty in Daqi. They seem to have forgotten that the late emperor also praised the third prince so much, just think deeply, it is not difficult to guess the identity of the visitor.
Soon, some people came back and showed a look of awe, but there were also a few people who were fascinated by beauty, dazed, and kept persuading each other to drink. Zhou Yun Sheng knew that his lover was looking at him on the second floor, and the scorching gaze was about to burn through several big holes in his clothes. How is he feeling now? Seeing that you can't eat, I'm afraid it's like scratching your heart and lungs, right
Thinking like this, Zhou Yun Sheng felt sour in his heart, but anyone who made a toast would not refuse. Zhao Jidong originally planned to help him stop drinking, but he gave up because he was in high spirits. When I was slightly drunk, someone proposed a poem, which immediately received a warm response from everyone.
"What's the subject?"
"It's about people."
"who?"
"Anyone present."
"Okay, this question is novel."
After some discussion, everyone ordered the shop assistant to bring the four treasures of the study, and then removed the dishes on the table, spread a layer of felt on the table, and picked up a pen to write. These people are the most famous scribes in the capital, and their talents are extraordinary, and they stop writing within two quarters of an hour. Zhou Yun Sheng walked over to take a closer look, his face suddenly gloomy. Zhao Jidong was worried that someone would write some unsightly erotic poems on the subject of the emperor. Seeing his sudden change in expression, he immediately felt a shock in his heart. Lin An followed behind him step by step, with a hint of anger in his eyes.
When they were far away, Zhao Jidong picked up the last poem he read, and his face suddenly turned pale. He scolded the culprit fiercely. He knew this kind of poem. Even if the emperor knew that he was describing himself, he would not put it on his body. Save the last bit of face. After tearing the rice paper to shreds, he left in a rage, thinking that when he goes back, he must send a letter to his sister and ask her to help him plead with the emperor.
"What did you say that person wrote?" Qi Jinyu's eyes revealed a schadenfreude smile.
"It's better not to know about this kind of thing." Zhao Xuan lost interest, sat down for a while and left, walked to a secluded dark alley, raised his hand and gestured towards the void. Immediately, a man in black appeared out of thin air and whispered in his ear.
The pink light is like a face, and the vermilion color is incomparable to the lips. Seeing suspicious flowers in the distance, smelling the fragrance and knowing the new spring... Such a lewd sentence, Shu Zier dares! He gave a grim smile and ordered the man in black to find the scribe just now and break his ten fingers, so that he would never be able to even pick up a pen in his life. In the end, he sneaked behind Qi Yining and led all the guards and entourage around him away. Stun it and take it away.
When Zhou Yun Sheng woke up, his eyes were dark and his neck was sore. He couldn't help but grit his teeth and secretly hated that man's attack was too heavy. Just as he was about to get up, he found himself completely weak, as if he had been intoxicated by some kind of drug.
"Awake?" A low, hoarse voice rang in his ear, and then he squeezed out a sentence between his teeth, "You annoyed me very much today."
"Who are you, how dare you attack me over and over again, and when I find out, I will make your life worse than death!" The best way is to suffocate you! Zhou Yun Sheng felt resentment in his heart.
"Life is better than death? Good words." Zhao Xuan smiled and asked with the jug in his hand, "Do you like drinking? Also like to write poetry? I'll write one too, listen to it. Xi, I don't forget it when I see it, I don't see it for a day, I think like crazy... When will I see Xu Xi, comfort me, and don't let me go down, let me perish. I've perished for you, can you feel it?" Zhao Xuan took his limp hand, placed it on his beating heart, and finally brought the jug to his mouth.
Zhou Yun Sheng hurriedly turned his head to avoid the smell of wine, but his mouth was still filled with force, and a little of the wine choked into his trachea, causing him to cough violently.
"You actually have such filthy thoughts towards me, you, Dengzi, don't ask me to catch me!" He threatened intermittently.
Zhao Xuan was silent, staring at his flushed cheeks with obsessive eyes, wondering if he would see crystal clear tears falling down if he removed the black cloth covering his eyes at this moment. That scene must be beautiful. He pressed the cloth towel slightly with his fingertips, and sure enough he felt a little warm dampness.
"You are so beautiful. If it wasn't for you being so confusing, how could I be like this? I can only blame you for not attracting bees and butterflies. Do you remember what I said to you when I left last time? After a few days, I actually got into trouble again." Zhao Xuan reprimanded in a deep voice, and kept pouring wine into the emperor's mouth.
Zhou Yun Sheng was choked several times, and even his nostrils were dripping with alcohol, which was really miserable. But to make matters worse, he gradually lost his ability to drink and became lethargic.
"I like you, can you please me?" Zhao Xuan asked coaxingly.
"Perverted!" Zhou Yun Sheng tried his best to maintain the last trace of clarity.
Zhao Xuan didn't understand what metamorphosis meant, but when he heard it, he knew it wasn't a good word. He laughed angrily, and fed him the spirits one by one. After he fell asleep, he tore off the black cloth and kissed him gently. He was beaten by tears. Wet eyelashes, full of tenderness in the chest.
"Only at this moment is the most well-behaved." He hummed, wrapped the man tightly in his coat, and sent it to a carriage parked in a dark alley. Lin An was led into the dark alley by the man in black, and when he found the emperor lying in the car unscathed, he burst into tears of joy. What's wrong with this? Why was the dignified emperor of Qi being kidnapped several times
When Zhou Yun Sheng woke up, he found himself lying in the Qianqing Palace, with a bright yellow gauze above his head, and the vague ambergris wafting around. He half sat up with his forehead on, feeling the throbbing pain in his temples, he couldn't help but cursed secretly.
Hearing the news, Lin An hurried into the hall to plead guilty.
"Get up. Don't make any noise about today's affairs." The Queen Mother's family is still staring at the throne under his ass. If the news of his disappearance spreads, the Queen Mother will not only not look for him, but will immediately join the courtiers to elect Prince Gong to the throne. Thinking about it, Zhao Xuan also knew that his concerns would be so unscrupulous. Damn, he actually got him drunk, so that he was confused and didn't know what was going on. Looking back now, he just felt that he had a beautiful dream, but it was empty when he thought about it.
He was extremely angry in his heart, Zhou Yun Sheng wanted to hang Zhao Xuan upside down and beat him up, but then he investigated 008 and found that every time he tied himself up, he typed in a string of source codes, and he felt mentally balanced again. .
Zhao Xuan went out with a gloomy face, but came back beaming, his rare gentle smile frightened the Li family.
"Look at what I do, eat." Seeing his sister looking at him with grief, he tapped the dishes, and then said cautiously, "You don't have to fight for the family business in the Hou Mansion, just keep a clear line with them from now on. Boundaries. What I said earlier about passing the title to Zhao Xu is not a lie, the book has been written and will be presented to the emperor tomorrow."
"Xuan'er, you really can't have children?" Li Shi asked tearfully.
"Well, unless that person can give birth to me." As if thinking of something interesting, he laughed a few times, his eyes full of interest.
Zhao Xinran and Zhao Xu had never seen such a gentle and kind brother before, so they couldn't help but be stunned.
Li's words hurriedly asked, "She gave birth to you? Do you have someone you like? Hurry up and tell your mother, she will help you propose marriage tomorrow. No matter what the other's family background, dignitaries or commoners, we don't care." Son He is almost thirty, his temper is tough, and he is full of blood and evil spirits, and even the gods and Buddhas will retreat when they see them. As long as he is willing to get married, Mrs. Li does not dare to be picky at all. Now that he was well, the last trace of grief dissipated.
"You don't need to worry about it, mother, I have my own calculations. He is quite stubborn and needs to be trained again." Zhao Xuan remembered the scene where the man scolded him in a soft voice, and suddenly smiled. He is obviously drunk and out of shape, and still stubbornly speaking cruel words, how can there be such a wonderful person in the world? He really didn't know how to love him.
Thinking about it, he shook his head and smiled again.
Li Shi and Zhao Xinran looked at each other and felt goosebumps all over their bodies. Such a tender son (elder brother), they have never seen it before, is it because of evil
In the blink of an eye, a few months later, the queen mother saw that her son was increasingly excluded from the court, and gradually became an idle prince. She was very anxious, and quickly issued a decree to let him get married early. Luo Zhen is a minister of officials, with deep roots in the court and a wide network of contacts. With his help, his son can also accumulate some power again.
Qi Jinyu was very reluctant, and had to obey for the sake of her future.
However, what he didn't expect was that Luo Zhen, who originally liked this marriage very much, now regrets it. A few years ago, the emperor indulged in women's lust and slack off the government affairs, causing frequent chaos inside and outside the court. He was extremely disappointed by this, and deeply felt that the late emperor had picked the wrong person. If the emperor has not awakened, the disaster of Daji and the chaos of Baosi will be imminent. He understands the Queen Mother's intention to marry Prince Gong and his daughter, and he observes secretly on weekdays. He also thinks that Prince Gong is a talent that can be made. If he is given five or six years to grow up, he may not be able to replace the emperor.
But it seems that overnight, the emperor woke up and wiped out the court with thunder. What is even more commendable is that he did not kill innocent people indiscriminately, and left behind only those who had real talents and practical learning. He is particularly tolerant of talents and has his own set of employment concepts. He subverted the teachings of the saints. While reusing the worthy ministers, he would not alienate the villains. He placed them in the most suitable positions, and let them play the greatest role for the court and the country. He is very assertive and will not trust any courtier's words, so he will not fall into the trap of partiality. It is undoubtedly very safe to serve such a wise and martial emperor.
The current Emperor Sheng is in the middle of a strategy, and the decisive victory is thousands of miles away. Not to mention that Prince Gong is still immature, even if he makes him ten or twenty years old out of thin air, he is not the opponent of Emperor Sheng. If the queen mother still expects Luo Zhen to help Prince Gong, or to help him rise to the throne, he will never agree, and he will not even think about it. Therefore, the current Luo Zhen felt a headache about this marriage, and thought that it would be good if he could seize any opportunity to withdraw it.
However, he also understood that this was a whim, so he had to brace himself to prepare a dowry for his daughter. Seeing that the divorce period is getting closer and closer, her daughter was attacked by a rogue when she went out to worship the Buddha, and was almost caught. Fortunately, an official who was returning to Beijing to report his work happened to pass by here, and he was accompanied by many powerful family members, so he repelled the rogue and rescued her.
Luo Lanfu became seriously ill as soon as he returned home. While Luo Zhen was looking for a famous doctor for her, he secretly investigated the matter. Because the emperor has recently renovated the court frequently, and cleaned up the military generals stationed in Beijing with two hearts, the Gyeonggi area, which was originally turbulent, has become extraordinarily harmonious and peaceful, and there are no nearby prefectures and counties. How can there be rogues for no reason
A few days later, the results of the investigation were delivered to Luo Zhen, which shocked and annoyed him. It turned out that it was none other than his own niece, Luo Wen, the second daughter of Duke Jingguo. She had promised Prince Gong a long time ago, thinking that she and Prince Gong were cousins and had a close relationship, and she was also the daughter of the dignified Duke Jingguo, with a distinguished status. If the Empress Dowager intends to choose a concubine for Prince Gong, she should be the right choice.
Unexpectedly, the queen mother would just skip Luo Lan, who she chose the second room, and make Luo Wen, who has loved to compare with Luo Lan since childhood, very uneasy, so she hired a few local rogues disguised as rogues and took Luo Lan away. a few days. When she came back a few days later, her reputation was ruined and her boudoir reputation was ruined, and the title of princess fell on her head.
Luo Zhen took the investigation report and read it several times, it was as disgusting as eating hundreds of flies. After all, this matter was a domestic scandal, and it was not easy to stab it out. He had to go to his eldest brother with a piece of evidence, hoping that he would discipline his daughter strictly in the future.
Prince Yasukuni has a narrow personality and short-sightedness, otherwise he would not be able to teach a daughter like Luo Wen. He repeatedly promised that he would severely punish his daughter, but in fact he was secretly embarrassed.
