Cold Palace’s Abandoned Consort

You must know that Pei Yuanzhang is not an adult in Yangzhou Prefecture, nor is he a powerful gentry in any place. He is a hegemon, and there will be no guests in front of the emperor, only courtiers.

However, Xiao Fuzi said that the emperor had a guest temporarily.

In other words, this guest, or these guests, was not called by him, but he came to him by himself.

I couldn't help but feel a little surprised, and at this juncture, I couldn't turn a blind eye to anything, so Xiao Fuzi took me all the way and asked quietly, "What guest?"

Xiao Fuzi also looked around. The people I brought were waiting outside, and the other attendants didn't follow. He whispered, "It's four elderly people."

"Four elderly?"

"Yes, they are all gray-haired, the youngest look is a hundred years old."

"..."

"I don't know what their names are, just listening to the old man in this house saying that these four people have unusual origins, as if they were called-called-" He scratched his head for a long time, finally remembered some, hesitant He said, "It seems like something, Tongshan ..."

Tongshan?

Four elderly people?

Suddenly in my heart, I immediately asked, "Isn't it, Tongshan Sijie?"

Xiao Fuzi nodded immediately: "Yes, yes, it is Tongshan Sijie!" He said, looking at me again: "Sir, do you know the four old people?"

I shook my head: "I don't know."

Not only do I not know, I have never seen them before.

However, these four elderly people have a good reputation, especially in the Jiangnan area.

These four people were originally four hermits. When the royal family entered the Central Plains, Jiangnan was ravaged by war, and people ’s livelihood was withered. Due to the war, copper mines were rare, and the coins circulating in the market were even more chaotic. It was filled, and the industry in the south of the Jiangnan area was withered. At this time, the four hermits suddenly came to visit the official government of Yangzhou at the time, and pointed out to them that there was a mountain 15 miles away from the western suburb of Yangzhou. For the copper mine, the government immediately dispatched additional staff to investigate and found that, as they said, a large number of copper mines were mined, and official coins were minted, which allowed Yangzhou's economy to recover.

That mountain was named Tongshan.

In the following decades, a large portion of the copper mines of the official family in the south came from this copper mountain, but gradually, the mining of copper mines became difficult, and the four hermits appeared again in the Yangzhou government. Alas, the official at the time was Liu Shizhou. They told Liu Shizhou that the copper veins in the ground had been exhausted. If the copper veins were not stopped anymore, Tongshan would no longer be able to produce copper.

Therefore, Liu Shizhou stopped the mining of copper ore, and the copper mountain that could not be mined out of copper was abandoned and gradually overgrown with tung trees, so it was called Tongshan.

The four hermits are said to have been living in Tongshan until they—

Until the last time, when they appeared, Liu Qinghan gave a grand feast in Yangzhou.

Thinking of this, I feel a little heavy.

However, Tongshan Sijie now appears in Yangzhou Mansion, and is here to see the emperor. They have rarely asked about the world. This time they will appear. Is it because of-

The thought came to my heart again.

At this time, we had already walked outside Chongwen Garden and looked inside through the arches. The door of the study was just pushed open.

From inside, four extraordinary white-haired elderly people came out.

They all looked like white hair, their robes and wide sleeves looked very thin, and most of their clothes were washed white. They could not tell what color they were, and there were patches in many places, but they did not affect their extraordinary temperament, and All four were mentally stingy and energetic. It seemed that although they were indeed old people, they showed a remarkable spirit.

They are the four heroes of Tongshan!

It happened to be like this, and I didn't avoid it either. I went forward and saluted them: "I've seen four seniors."

They all glanced at me and didn't seem to think much of me. They only returned the gift in courtesy and went out together. If it was in peacetime, I would definitely want to associate with such a stranger, but today is really not the time, so I stood back and watched them go out. At this time, Xiao Fuzi lowered his voice and said in my ear: "This In the past two days, many people have come to intercede for Lord Liu. Yesterday, there were many people who just scratched their heads at the door of the house. "

"Oh……"

I nodded, and before I came to speak in a hurry, I heard Pei Yuanzhang's voice in the study room--

"Who?"

Xiao Fuzi was startled, hurriedly dressed up and walked to the door, saying, "The emperor, Lord Yue is here."

There was a silence inside, and then he heard: "Come in."

Xiao Fuzi glanced back at me, and I didn't say anything, so he went in.

As soon as he entered the study, Xiao Fuzi stood outside the door, carefully closing the two doors.

As soon as I turned my head, I saw that the study was divided into two rooms, the inner room and the outer room where I was standing. In the dim light, Pei Yuanzhang was sitting at a table at a table.

Maybe it was because he was wearing a black robe, and his face was a little dull, even though he was standing far away, and there was a curtain of beads, I was clear, and I saw the tired look on his face at a glance. , And bloodshot red eyes.

When he looked up at me, the fatigue seemed to become deeper for a moment.

I was standing in the middle of the room, and for a moment I didn't know whether to go in or back out.

Finally, he spoke first.

"You came."

"Yes."

"Come in."

"..."

After a moment of silence, he went up and walked in.

After all, today I didn't come to be afraid of him. I still know exactly what to do.

He walked through the bead curtain, listening to the beading sound behind him, and his spirit seemed to be slightly agitated. He looked at me and slowly said, "Hey, you know you must be Will come. "

I said calmly, "But I don't know why the emperor made such a judgment."

He raised his eyes and glanced at me: "Do you think it was a misjudgment?"

I was silent for a while, confusing the question, and said, "Liu Qinghan cannot kill the Princess Long."

"..."

This time, he was silent.

However, those bloodshot eyes, slightly red eyes, looked straight at me. The gaze was like seeing through people, no matter the body or soul, any trace of throbbing could not be seen in his eyes. hide.

I was more and more disturbed by his eyes, especially the palm of my hand, and cold sweat came out.
