The emperor went out of the palace to escape the summer heat. Naturally, the empress dowager and the empress dowager also went together. Surrounded by guards of honor, Borang had no free time. Even sitting in the carriage, there was still a large pile of papers to be corrected. Xu Miaoyun So he sat in another carriage with Xiao Xian.

It was Xiaoxian's first time riding in a carriage, and he was very excited. He wanted to climb up the window with his hands and feet. Xu Miaoyun picked him up high and put him on his lap, pointing to the flowers and trees that slowly passed by outside and told him, while the nanny and Xiujuan laughed Looking at it, the nanny is not very old, she is in her early 20s, and she is very excited: "This is the first time for this servant to go to the palace."

Xu Miaojun smiled and said: "It's my first time to go too, has Xiujuan been there?" Xiujuan said with a smile: "I used to go there once when I was serving the Empress Dowager. The scenery there is better than that in the palace, and the rules are not the same Big in the palace."

Xu Miaoyun smiled and said: "I heard from Xiao Luzi that the rooms in the palace are narrower than those in the palace." Xiujuan smiled and said: "Yes, I heard that the courtyard of the palace was built after the gardens and landscapes in the south of the Yangtze River, and the rooms are also small and exquisite. Yes, very delicate."

Xu Miaoyun grew up in the south of the Yangtze River. Hearing that he could see the scenery of the south of the Yangtze River, he was naturally looking forward to it.

The journey from the capital to the palace is not far. If you set off in the morning, you can arrive in the middle of the afternoon. There are two rests along the way. The large group of people and horses walk slowly. If they are riding horses, it will only take two or three hours.

The palace had been prepared a long time ago, and a large group of people knelt down to welcome them. The Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager had their own people responsible for arranging them, but Xu Miaoyun followed Bo Rang to live in Yiqing Palace, where the terrain is higher.In front is a rockery barrier, and there are winding and winding steps between the rockery. Passing through the rockery is the main hall, and behind the main hall is planted a garden full of phoenix bamboos, covering five houses and three wing rooms on the left and right, which are the husband and wife. And imitate Xian's residence.

Xiaoxian was still living in the east chamber with his nanny. Xu Miaoyun watched the seven or eight court ladies carrying boxes and cages coming in and out, packed up the things they brought, and simply sat under the eaves.The wind was blowing over thousands of bamboo poles, and it was very cool. Over there, Xiaoxian was babbling and asked the nanny to hold her and walked along the veranda, so Xu Miaoyun carried Xiaoxian to the main hall.

The main hall is also divided into front and back halls. Xu Miaoyun sat in the back hall with Xiaoxian in his arms, and the maid served tea softly.Sitting here, you can clearly hear the voice of the minister in front of you: "...the magistrate of Taiyuan Prefecture, Master Hang Qinghang, ordered Mr. Xu to cross the border, but Mr. Xu ordered someone to take away Mr. Hang's official seal, and persuaded the guards of Taiyuan Prefecture The garrison gathered together and chased the bandits into the border of Shaanxi. Although this move was for the purpose of suppressing the bandits, it violated several laws and regulations. Mr. Zheng Yunzheng, the magistrate of Xi'an, Shaanxi, has a reason to impeach Mr. Xu."

Bo Rang didn't speak for a while, but gently pressed the tea bowl on the table.After a while, he said: "When such a thing happened, what did Governor Wang Chi of Shaanxi and Gansu say?"

Another person said: "Master Wang just returned to Shaanxi from the capital and this incident happened. Mr. Zheng first told Mr. Wang about this incident, but Mr. Wang said that Mr. Xu was also doing it to suppress the bandits. Although this move was reckless, it is also sympathetic." Excuse me, Mr. Zheng was furious, so he confronted Mr. Wang, saying that Mr. Wang was deliberately protecting Mr. Xu's status as the uncle of the country."

Bo Rang said with a smile: "This Zheng Yun is outspoken. How dare he speak to Wang Chi like that, but what is the relationship between Zheng Yun and Hang Qing? Why do you want to stand up for him?" The minister said again: "Master Hang and Master Zheng It doesn't matter."

Bo Rang sighed: "This Xu Jinghuan is really worrying."

Before he finished speaking, he heard a clear and pleasant giggle from the apse, and his expression froze immediately. The ministers standing below heard it too, and looked at each other. This was clearly the laughter of a baby. By guessing, one can know who is in the apse at the moment.

Xu Miaoyun was also taken aback, quickly covered Xiaoxian's mouth, hugged him and quickly left the apse.

Bo Rang was stunned for a moment, and seeing that the laughter did not continue, he coughed and said, "Xu Jinghuan is not an unreasonable person, why did he take away Hang Qing's official seal? Why did the garrison of Taiyuan Mansion follow him as soon as they heard his words?" Going to suppress the bandits? There must be something inside this, send someone to Shanxi to investigate carefully, and then make a conclusion."

The ministers had to agree.

Xu Miaoyun carried Xiaoxian back to the house, and looked at her son who didn't know what caused the trouble angrily: "If I knew it, I wouldn't have taken you to eavesdrop, you were discovered." Xiaoxian still covered his mouth with his small hand Giggling, not knowing what was going on.

Xu Miaoyun was also on the way and heard that the urgent memorial was sent, and it seemed to be related to her brother, so she ran to eavesdrop, but she didn't expect to be destroyed by Xiaoxian, a brat, so she couldn't help sighing, taking the official seal, and crossing the boundary of jurisdiction, it seems to be quite serious .

When Bo Rang came back, he looked at her with a half smile but not a smile. Xu Miaoyun was very guilty and did not greet her as usual. Instead, he smiled awkwardly and stood at a loss, Bo Rang said: "Where is Xiaoxian?" Xu Miaoyun said : "Already fell asleep."

Bo Rang scolded with a smile: "This brat made me feel ashamed today."

Xu Miaoyun became more and more guilty, but seeing Bo Rang waving at her, he hesitated for a moment, and walked over, Bo Rang pulled her into his arms, rubbed against her face, and said with a smile: "If you want to know, ask me That's it? As for running over to eavesdrop?"

Xu Miaoyun was a little uneasy: "I heard that it seems to be serious, did my brother get into trouble?"

Bo Rang said: "You don't know your brother's temper? He is the most cautious. Since he dared to take Hang Qing's official seal and persuaded the people in the guard, there must be convincing reasons. Don't worry. , I have sent someone there, I believe it will be clear soon."

Xu Miaoyun also felt that according to her elder brother's stable temperament, it was impossible to do such a thing on impulse, and she immediately felt relieved.

Just as she was in a daze, Bo Rang's hand had already reached into her skirt: "Let me see if the thin ones grow back."

Xu Miaoyun let out an "oops", and then came back to her senses, using her hands and feet to crawl out of his arms: "I can't do it today, I've been in a carriage all day, and I'm exhausted."

Berang smiled and pulled him back: "Where does it hurt? I'll rub it for you." He easily trapped him in his arms and carried him into the inner room.

Xiujuan, who was guarding the door, listened to the sounds inside.Quietly went in and blew the lights, closed the door, the rules in the palace have also changed now, whenever the emperor and the empress are together, they don't like to be served by their side, as for the palace maids and bedroom accountants in the inner room who are on duty at night, they are even more exempted, Everyone secretly complained in their hearts, and at the same time secretly envied the empress's doting, she sighed.Sitting on the front steps and looking at the sky.

The night is like water, full of stars, and the endless chirping of summer insects can be heard, which is a beautiful summer night scene.

For the next four or five days, Xu Miaoyun took Xiaoxian to play around in the palace, and the summer was full of flowers.In addition to the usual scenery such as peony garden, peony garden and rose frame, there is actually a small waterfall. I don't know how it was designed, and the water flows down from the rockery.It was like flying beads and jade, not only Xu Miaoyun was amazed when she saw it.Xiaoxian was even more excited, wishing to fly over to catch the drop of water, Xu Miaoyun was afraid that his cold air would intrude on her body, so she hurriedly moved away, Xiaoxian lay on the nurse's shoulder and looked back, "Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhss Kick your legs as if you are talking.The nanny almost didn't hug her.

Xu Miaoyun wiped the drops of water on his face with a smile, and said, "You are so naughty at such a young age. What can we do in the future."

The nanny laughed and said: "With the teachings of the emperor and the empress, the prince must be very promising. I have heard people say that naughty children are smart when I am at home, and the quiet and well-behaved ones are a bit dull." Xu Miaoyun smiled. Laughed, did not speak.

Panting, Xiao Luzi ran over: "Your Majesty, the Emperor wants to see you."

Xu Miaoyun was a little surprised: "Isn't the emperor discussing matters with the ministers?"

Xiao Luzi said: "It seems that Uncle Guo sent someone to deliver a letter, and the emperor asked you to go over and listen."

Xu Miaoyun hurriedly ordered Xiujuan and the nanny to go back with Xiaoxian in their arms, and followed Xiaoluzi back to Yiqing Palace. Xiaoluzi asked her to hide in the back hall to listen like last time, only to hear the angry voice of the former uncle: "...This incident has happened for a month, but I haven't heard anything about it. If it wasn't for Xu Jinghuan, would you have kept it from me for the rest of your life?"

The ministers were not in a hurry to express their opinions like yesterday, but they were silent at all. Xu Miaoyun was also worried that something important had happened to make Bo Rang so angry.

Only the sound of Bo Rang pacing back and forth came from the front hall, and it took him a long time to say: "Bandits in Shanxi are rampant, and Hang Qing, the prefect of Shanxi, is incompetent. I will remove him from all official positions, escort him to Beijing, promote Xu Jinghuan as the prefect of Shanxi, and let him do his best. Go ahead and take care of this banditry. As for Zheng Yun, he doesn't do anything, he only knows how to make noise, and fines him three years' salary to see the effect. Now that the matter has been settled, I will also take my letter and order all guards around Shanxi to fully cooperate with Xu Jinghuan in suppressing the bandits."

Yang Min said yes.

Not long after, Bo Rang died. He went to the back hall to see Xu Miaoyun, and took her hand: "Did you hear that?"

Xu Miaoyun worried: "What happened?"

When Bo Rang mentioned it, his face was full of anger: "In Shanxi, there is Zeng Xiaozi who was conferred by the late emperor. Now he is also a big family in Shanxi, a family of benevolence and righteousness. He lives under your brother's jurisdiction. As a result, the whole family went out a month ago. But he was killed by the gangsters, his finances were taken away, and no one was left alive. Your brother tracked down those bandits, but Hang Qing, a bastard, was afraid of being implicated, so he insisted on forcing your brother to suppress this matter. Come down, say that there is no one in the Zeng family, no one will sue, and you are not allowed to mention the matter of arresting bandits. In the end, your brother snatched his official seal in a fit of anger, and persuaded the guards to cross the border and go to Shaanxi. Now that group of bandits Already captured and brought to justice, he was afraid that night would be long and dreamy, so he beheaded first and then played, hanging the head of the bandit on the gate of Taiyuan Mansion, intending to lure his accomplices and wipe them out in one fell swoop."

Xu Miaoyun covered her mouth and opened her eyes wide: "Now, those bandits living outside must hate brother to death, isn't brother dangerous?"

Bo Rang said: "Don't worry, the garrison in Shanxi is not a vegetarian, and your brother has been to the northwest to lead soldiers. If he can't even defeat some mobs, is it still your brother?"

Xu Miaoyun was still worried, and said again: "If this happened, shouldn't the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu be responsible? Why didn't you mention him just now?"

Bo Rang sneered: "It's likely that Wang Chi was also involved in this matter. Although he came to Beijing for marriage, Shanxi, Shaanxi and other jurisdictions will definitely send him official documents. If such a thing happens, I don't know if it is true or not. It is possible, and only he has the ability to press this message. When he returns to Shaanxi, your brother has already captured the bandit. While protecting Hang Qing, he instigated Zheng Yun to impeach your brother, while defending your brother , Be a good man, this old fox, I know he is not a fuel-efficient lamp."

Xu Miaoyun was silent, Wang Chi is not only the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, but also the father-in-law of Taining. He has only been married for two months. If Wang Chi is dealt with, where will Taining's face be put? If Wang Chi is not dealt with, it is really hard to understand If Wang Chi hadn't deliberately stopped him, his brother's memorial would have been sent to the capital long ago, and he wouldn't have known it until now.

And the reason why Wang Chi concealed it is not difficult to guess. At that time, Zhengzheng Taining got married. If this matter was revealed, he would definitely be accused of dereliction of duty, because all the benefits he got from marrying Taining as his daughter-in-law were also worthless. They were all wiped out. After all, he is the leader in the Shaanxi-Gansu area, and he must be responsible for any accidents. Moreover, those bandits are so rampant that it is not a day's cold to freeze three feet. crime.

Although Bo Rang did not deal with Wang Chi, he sent Yang Minzhi to deal with the matter. In Yang Minzhi's capacity, he was overqualified, most likely to give Wang Chi a warning.

The two of them went back to the house while talking, Bo Rang was still angry, and Xu Miaoyun poured tea for him personally: "It hurts your body, don't torture yourself here because of other people's mistakes, I will cook for you at noon OK?"

Bo Rang's face eased a little, and he lay down and put his head on Xu Miaoyun's lap: "Rub it for me, I really feel a headache."

Xu Miaoyun gently helped him press his temples, and suddenly remembered something, and said, "Apart from the official documents, do you have any letters from home this time?" Bo Rang said lazily: "I should have, it was sent home, you If you want to know, just ask someone to ask.”

Xu Miaoyun frowned and said: "I'm actually still worried about the relationship between my brother and my sister-in-law. My brother doesn't care about people at all. This time he took people to Shaanxi to suppress the bandits. I don't know if my sister-in-law was hidden by him. He , I like to act arbitrarily.”

Bo Rang laughed, and before he had time to speak, he heard Xiaoxian's crying outside, Xu Miaoyun was anxious, and hurriedly pushed Bo Rang away and ran out: "What's wrong?"

The nanny and Xiujuan didn't expect Xu Miaojun to be there, so they were at a loss, and immediately knelt down to plead guilty: "Damn the servant, I didn't take good care of the prince.

Xiao Xian cried very sadly, his face was full of tears, when he saw Xu Miaoyun, he stretched out his hand to be hugged by her, and cried even more sadly as he lay on her shoulder, Xu Miaoyun couldn't help but anxious: "Where did you bump?"
