Cold Palace’s Abandoned Consort

When I arrived at the Imperial Study Room, there was no one in the outer space. Looking through the bead curtain to the inner room, I saw Pei Yuanzhang sitting alone, dazed in front of the light smoke rising from the cup of hot tea in front of him.

I went in and saluted him.

He turned around and looked at me: "You are here."

I looked around: "Her Majesty, what about His Royal Highness?"

"He went to Jixian Temple. He came back this time, and asked him to salute his teacher."

"Oh……"

He said, and turned back to the father-in-law, "How long has the prince passed?"

Yu Gong hurriedly said, "Half an hour."

He nodded slightly, then pointed to the opposite side, and motioned me to sit down. At this time, I was not polite with him, and sat carefully on half of his body. The father-in-law immediately gave me hot tea.

I think he and I are both cold at this time, but the two of them looked at the light smoke rising from the hot tea, but did not drink, just looked at it quietly. I don't know how long, he finally spoke, and said gently: "What do you think about this?"

I was silent for a long time, and said, "Prince Wuyi is a blessing in misfortune."

"..."

"But Lord Wu falling into the water is a big misfortune in luck."

"..."

Hearing this, his brow also wrinkled deeply, and there was a regretful sorrow and anger on his face. I asked quietly: "What happened to His Royal Highness this time? Did someone catch you? "

He said: "I have sent someone to investigate this."

After speaking, he closed his mouth.

I glanced at him with a little stun.

According to his temper, whoever touched him would be furious. Even if he did not make a **** storm, the battle was absolutely indispensable, but this time, the Prince returned from Henan in such a thrilling manner, a court official Falling into the Yellow River is uncertain, but he was calm, and ended the matter in one sentence.

Is he already affirming who the assassination was, and what is the purpose of the assassination, or is this matter now out of his focus?

Feeling my doubtful look, he also glanced at me, and then said, "From today on, the house will be in chaos."

With a stun in my heart, I looked up at him.

At this time, there was a sound of footsteps from outside, and Xiaofuzi ran in from the outside and whispered, "The emperor, His Royal Highness is back from Jixian Palace."

Pei Yuanzhang's spirit was refreshed, and he immediately raised his head. I also hurriedly turned around. Sure enough, I saw Nianshen walking in quickly from the outside, and behind him was a familiar figure.

Chabising!

I was a little surprised, but it didn't seem to be a surprise, Nianshen took him outside the bead curtain and stood, saluting to Pei Yuanzhang and me: "The sons and daughters meet the father and the aunt Qing."

"The Caomin met His Majesty the Emperor and the young lady."

I got up in a hurry, and Pei Yuanzhang made a gesture to them, and the father-in-law Yu opened the curtain, and the two came in. Chabixing was the same as before. He was in a commoner's clothing, but looked very strong and straight. He looked at me and smiled at me. At this time, I really didn't have the mood to joke with people, and just nodded gently.

Pei Yuanzhang looked behind them: "What about Taibao?"

After listening deeply, he hurriedly said, "Emperor, teacher, he has committed the same old illness again today. He really can't get through. The sons and daughters can't bear to let him suffer again, so let him stay in Jixian Hall."

Pei Yuanzhang frowned.

However, he is not too angry, or ca n’t focus too much on being angry at this time, but I also know that he certainly hopes that Fu Bazhen can come forward at this time, after all, the more people around him now Fewer and fewer, those who can do things have never been able to do things, and those who can do things have not been able to do things. Fu Bazhen is a genius who can do things and can do things. He will not show up again, which will inevitably make the emperor burned.

But fortunately--

I looked up and looked at Chabixing behind the prince.

And him.

Pei Yuanzhang also glanced at him and said coldly, "Your teacher's illness hasn't been better in the past two years. Isn't it better?"

Chabi Xinghaha laughed: "The teacher's illness is heart disease, and the heart knot is untied, and the natural disease is just fine."

Pei Yuanzhang said, "What is his knot?"

This time, Chabixin didn't speak, just rolled those amber eyes, looked at me, and then hehe laughed.

In the end, he just came out of the academy not long ago, and with his student spirit, no one dared to talk to the emperor like this and half of it was broken. Pei Yuanzhang glanced at him, and followed me to look at me, his face became more and more unsightly, and it was about to start, and Chabixing immediately said solemnly: "The world is peaceful!"

"..."

For a time, Pei Yuanzhang's anger was caught in the throat, and the two of me and Nianshen looked at each other, both crying and laughing.

For a long while, he glanced at Chabish.

Chabixin was still a hippie smile, but the prince next to him said respectfully: "To the father, when we came here, the teacher said something to his sons and daughters."

Pei Yuanzhang immediately looked at him: "What is it?"

"The teacher said that life is not smooth, and money should be used tightly."

...

Several of the people present stopped breathing.

Life isn't easy. Money needs to be used?

This sentence is commonly spoken by ordinary people at home, with a bit of muddy soil. For Pei Yuanzhang and Nian Shen, who are in the heavenly family, they will probably ignore the meaning of this sentence for a lifetime.

However, Fu Bazhen let the prince bring such a sentence to the emperor.

The days are not peaceful-this naturally refers to the situation facing Pei Yuanzhang now, Losh in the steppe, Pei Yuanxiu in Jiangnan, and those powerful men who are about to move around, and those who are lurking in the dark, he can't see the murder.

Use your money tightly ...

This sentence made me feel a little hesitant for a while, but suddenly I remembered that just now, a sentence that Pei Yuanzhang had just told—from today on, the Ministry of Households will be in chaos.

By the way, the Ministry of Finance is in charge of finance, that is, money. Every spring, the Ministry of Households has to perform two huge tasks. One is to check the expenses of the departments in the previous year and the flow of silver money. The top priority of each year is to discuss the deployment of the silver money of the ministries in the new year to support the expenses and operations of the court in the year.

This is the most important work of each ministry, and the balance of the country, the transfer of hundreds of officials, and even the operation of each gate, and the promotion and transfer of each official are within their accounting scope.

I know that because he is going to accompany the Prince to go to Henan to inspect the Yellow River embankment this year, Wu Yanqiu completed the calculation of the expenditures of the previous year in advance, and the calculation of the new year has not yet begun, and he is planning to inspect this time After that, I went back to Beijing.

And now--

I looked up and looked at Pei Yuanzhang.

He sat there without moving, frowning slightly, a pair of eyes kept looking at the cup of tea that was no longer hot, but looking at him, it seemed that he had seen a deeper place from the tea-apparently, Fu Bazhen This sentence is significant.

After a long time, he looked up and looked at me: "It seems that I have to catch the matter of the Ministry of Housing."

I said gently: "Emperor Shengming."

|

From that moment on, a few of us did not leave the Royal Study Room.

Because from the beginning of Pei Yuanzhang's remarks, the memorials of the ministers have been continuously sent to the Royal Study Room, and the content is just a little bit—the new candidate of the Shangbu Shangshu.

It is true that they did this. Wu Yanqiu fell into the Yellow River, and life and death are unknown. However, regardless of life or death, the work of the Ministry of Households must not be disordered, and the various functions of the court cannot be interrupted after the spring. This requires a new Ministry of Household Shang Shu came to take over his job. Even if he was not promoted now, he had to be transferred from the Ministry of Households or other ministries to temporarily take over the job.

Nianshen opened the memorials and began to think of the names of the people recommended above one by one.

Tobu Shiro

Imperial Court

Tobu Shiro

Tobu Shiro

Imperial Court

Bureau of Economic Affairs

...

Seeing that it was getting late outside, the father-in-law held a candle and lit a few candlesticks in the royal study.

Xiaofuzi is still holding the outer souvenirs, and the Prince is still reading. The more I listen, the more the stone on my heart is pressed down, and I can feel the coldness emanating from Pei Yuanzhang sitting on the side-these The tenth of the tenths of the memorial are recommended by the servant minister Zheng Zhui. Although there is something wrong with the Shangshu, it is reasonable to let the waitress who has been working with Shangshu to handle the task temporarily, but this moment should not have this reason. As it should be.

Because this chase is from Nangong Jinhong.

If this person were to be temporarily replaced by Wu Yanqiu, the court would become his court of Nangong Jinhong!

I was about to look up and say something to Pei Yuanzhang, but I saw that Cha Bixing waiting by the side yawned.

My eyebrows tightened.

Does he know what situation the imperial court is facing now, and he can yawn so importantly?

Pei Yuanzhang also glanced at him and frowned.

However, he did not have an attack.

Nian Shen meditated for a while and frowned, turning his head to look at Pei Yuanzhang, Pei Yuanzhang's face was calm, and he only said, "Continue to read."

Nianshen picked up another memorial: "The servant of the Hube Zheng Zhui."

This time, Pei Yuanzhang sneered.

He still leaned on his position, his fingertips gently rubbing the piece of jade hanging on his wrist, perhaps because the gentle texture of the jade passed from his fingertips to his heart, and he spoke slowly when he spoke: "It seems that it's really what people want."

Nianshen asked, "Father Emperor, do you still watch?"

Pei Yuanzhang didn't say anything, and Xiao Fuzi drew in a chorus from the outside.

"emperor."

Pei Yuanzhang glanced back and said lightly, "Let it be."

"Yes."

He put the memorial on the table and was about to retreat, Pei Yuanxi said, "Is Nangong Shangshu's discount here?"

Xiao Fuzi hurriedly said, "Not yet."

"What about others?"

"I heard that Lord Nangong hasn't closed his door since returning to his house."

"Oh?" Pei Yuanzhang smiled. "He's quiet."

"But I can't calm down," at this moment, the father-in-law of Yu Jade stepped forward and said, "I heard that there were a few people who rushed to the house of Lord Nangong as soon as he left the palace.

"So, did he see them?"

"That's not true. Lord Nangong said he was ill as soon as he returned home."

"..."

Pei Yuanzhang's gaze was still cold.

I sat there for a while, and at this time felt that my legs and feet were a little numb, and wanted to stamp my feet subconsciously, he immediately noticed that, and turned to look at me: "What's wrong?"

"Sitting for a long time, legs numb."

As soon as he heard it, he returned to God. We have been with him here for more than two hours. The prince and Chabixen stood and could move. I could n’t move at all. He said quickly: "You get up Take a walk. "

I nodded and stood up holding the table myself. My legs were almost numb and I fell back. Chabi Xing's eyes were very fast. I hurried forward to help me. I watched him yawning and looked back at Pei Yuan. "Your Majesty, the daughter wants to walk outside in the yard."

Pei Yuanzhang looked at me and said, "Yeah, your illness isn't good, and it's not good for you to stay here all the time. Just stop the wind."

"Yes, thank you, Emperor."

Then I turned around and let Chabi Xing help me out.

The two walked into the yard. At this time, the sky was completely dark. Only the red light from the lantern under the eaves projected on the ground according to our figures.

As soon as the wind blew, my spirit was awake again, but as soon as I looked back, I saw Chabeixing opened his mouth again and yawned.

I couldn't help but say, "Do you know that the emperor called you here today? What's the intention?"

He turned to look at me and blinked.

I couldn't help sighing, and then said, "Chang Taishi has already left, Wu Yanqiu is still alive and unknown, his whereabouts are unknown, and the Central Government cannot be the only one. The emperor needs to support a person. At least, it should help him through this difficult time. "

Chabixen looked at me with eyes wide open, still not talking.

I also said, "You have the heart to enter the official world, and you have already been watched by the emperor. Why are you so casual this time?"

Chabixing looked at me for a while, and suddenly said, "The young lady thinks this time, reconciliation."

"reconciliation?"

I frowned slightly.

This incident has just happened today. The entire court is worrying about this issue, and may even sleep hard all night. He now tells me-reconciliation?

I thought about it. From the recent memorials to the words spoken by Jade Grandpa, it seems that Nangong Jinhong has been stunned by some things. Everyone can see that the situation of the imperial court needs to be reshuffled. What he really did was push himself up to the cusp of the wind, not to mention how the people left by Bai Bai and Wu Yanqiu would open fire on him. Pei Yuanzhang wouldn't just sit by and ignore him.

Calling Chabixing to the Royal Study Room, and even trying to invite Fu Bashang to come, all have this meaning.

At present, Nangong Jinhong said that no one was sick and that he would not go to a memorial, as if he wanted to stabilize this step.

When I heard that, Chabixin didn't speak, but stopped.

"Master Nangong, do you really want to stabilize this step?"

I froze and looked back at him, seeing that he was a step away from me, smiling lightly, looking down at the distance between me and him, suddenly waking up in my head.

Originally, the two of us were walking side by side. At this time he took a step back. I haven't moved yet, but I'm already standing in front of him!

Nangong Jinhong is like this now, not steady, but in a calm, one step further!

I couldn't help but take a breath.

This person, at this time, is really sober, and can see through the big picture at a glance!

Chabixing smiled and kicked a small stone on the ground with his toes, and said with a somewhat playful tone: "This time, things are not so simple. This Nangong master is well-thought-out, but the emperor is not so confused. If he didn't step back this time, it wouldn't be so easy to do! "

I think of Pei Yuanzhang's cold eyes just now. Although he didn't say anything, in that eyes, there was a bit of murder.

I believe that he didn't want to really move Nangong Jinhong. After all, Nangong Lizhu was still there, and he also said clearly that he couldn't bear her, but when it came to the fore, I believe there is nothing he can't bear!

Thought of this, could not help but a cold sweat.

Chabixing looked at me, and whispered, "Isn't the lady uncomfortable? I'm still uncomfortable sitting in the room, it's cold here."

"No, it's a little stuffy in the room. I think of it to be breathable and people will be awake."

"Miss don't think too much about it, there are actually many ways to solve it."

"Oh?"

I turned to look at him: "like--"

He smiled at me: "Keep secrets away!"

"..."

I could hardly hold my breath at a stretch.

Does this person look like a street character? Still not leaked!

I glared at him fiercely, turned around and walked to the other side, and he chased after him happily, followed behind me, two people walked for a while, and he said: "Have you ever thought about this time, this time The Prince was assassinated, who actually moved his hands behind the scenes. "

I didn't look back, step by step, stepping on my own shadow: "I thought about it."

"Is that ... the one?"

I was silent and nodded silently.

"Ms. Miss, what is the purpose of his doing this?"

I slowly walked forward and said slowly: "If the prince dies, the situation will be turbulent. In addition, the emperor's implementation of the New Deal in various places will offend those powerful gentry. If they do anything, the whole Central Plains will be chaotic. . "

"But the prince has returned safely," Chabising said.

"Ok."

"However, Lord Wu failed to return."

"Ok……"

"Isn't the young lady thought that maybe their goal is not the prince--or rather, not only the prince, but also Master Wu."

"..."

When my heart moved, I stopped and looked back at him.

"What do you mean?"
