Chapter 2015 "Surprise"

In the early morning, the genius is beginning to shine, and the early-rising insects and birds are already chirping. The old emperor is not bored. He has stayed in the palace for a long time and has seen too much death-like silence. This kind of ecology and vitality is really rare.

As an expert, the old emperor was unusual. He got up early in the morning, and what was unusual was that he also played a little elegantly.The four maids are all beautiful, with bright eyes, white teeth, and graceful figures. They are all as young as flowers. They also have talents and good temperaments. They are all the result of careful training by the Inner Education Bureau.

One person is sitting at the piano table, calmly stroking the strings, and playing melodious music; one person is sitting elegantly, with a serious expression, dexterous hands, changing movements, and carefully serving the tea soup; one person is holding a round fan, gently sending out the coolness of the morning at a fixed frequency The wind helped the old emperor relieve the midsummer heat
Although the old emperor's job is no longer possible, it does not prevent him from appreciating beauty and enjoying beauty in other ways.

The sound of the piano was lingering and the smoke was curling up. The most beautiful palace lady was left, walking gracefully and twisting her graceful figure, holding a wooden sign in her hand, and walked towards the old emperor.

Yingying bowed down and knelt beside the old emperor, with a sweet smile on her delicate face, and her voice was particularly beautiful and inspiring: "I respectfully invite you to have tea."

The rich aroma of tea lingers in the air, stimulating people's taste buds. When in Xinyang, how can you not try "Maojian", which is naturally the top-quality green tea from the Nanwan Lake production area for the old emperor.

Well, strictly speaking, this is not a contribution of special items, but a special supply from Shenzhou Yamen, a "daily" drink, so it can't be said to violate the old emperor's edict not to donate special items.
Glancing at the red and pink skeleton next to him who was as submissive as a kitten, the old emperor looked calm, picked up the tea bowl, and observed.At this time, the tea soup is undergoing some wonderful changes. After being struck and stirred with special techniques, the veins of the soup noodles are like several flowers, and they are blooming.
Looking at the exquisite tea soup, the old emperor blew it away like a cow chewing peonies, and then took a sip.He smacked his lips and said, "The taste is nothing special! This pot of tea is for you!"

"Thank you, official!" Gong E heard this and quickly thanked her, looking like she was honored.

It can be seen that the old emperor's mood has been getting better and better since the southern tour. Today, it is really rare to see a smile on his face.

Precisely because he saw that the old emperor was in a good mood, Hu Defang hesitated whether to report the unlucky thing at this time. It was rare for an official to be leisurely and elegant. What if he was disturbed? It was better to change the time.

However, the old emperor seemed to be enlightened. He caught Hood's little expression and asked leisurely: "What happened? You might as well tell me."

Hood glanced at the old emperor, his expression became even more hesitant, as if he was hesitant to speak.

"Ok?"

Hearing his voice, Hu De immediately trembled. Before the old emperor could finish his "hmm", he said hurriedly: "I would like to inform you that the Marquis of Ping'an, Li Yu, passed away at his residence last night."

"Oh -" the old emperor's reaction was relatively slow. He went through the news in his mind before he finally reacted: "Huh?"

"When did it happen?" The old emperor suddenly became more energetic: "How did you die?"

Carefully observing the changes in the old emperor's expression, there seemed to be no displeasure. Hu De felt relieved and replied: "About last night when I was ugly!"

As he said that, Hood's expression was somewhat strange: "It is reported that before staying last night, Ping An Hou Xingzhi came to the house and had a drink in the pavilion of the house. He laughed from time to time. He drank too much and died suddenly."

"Drank to death?" The old emperor looked "strange" on his face, as if hearing an interesting story, and said: "This is really a strange thing! I have long heard that this Li Yu is a drunkard and talented man. He visits home and has nothing to do. If you are not happy with wine, this way of dying shows you are sincere to wine!"

After a few words of ridicule, the old emperor couldn't help but sigh: "It's a pity that after Li Yu's death, there will be fewer wonderful poems in the world! Although I don't like Li Yu's poems very much, those words are indeed beautiful and emotional. Attracts sentimental men and women."

"Let his family collect his body and send it back to his hometown for burial!" After thinking about it, the old emperor ordered: "The weather has started to get hot. Give him some ice packs and herbs to protect the body!"

"Yes!"

After giving two favors, the old emperor said to Hu De in a joking tone: "Contemporary poets, Li Yu can be considered a master of the school. He is very famous. He passed away so suddenly and died so unexpectedly. It is really surprising to think about him." Sad.

It is said that in addition to writing poems and lyrics, Li Yu is also good at fine brushwork. The value of his works will greatly increase from now on.If you have one, just keep it and keep it as a family heirloom in a few decades."

The old emperor was obviously speaking casually, but Hu De became serious and responded solemnly: "The younger one has no roots and no descendants. He only concentrates on the palace, so there is no talk of inheriting the family." The works of Marquis Ping'an, Even if it is cherished by others, it is of little value to a small person. After all, if it is not understood, it cannot be appreciated!"

"Haha!" The old emperor laughed when he heard this, and gave a rare compliment: "I love hearing this!"

The smile faded slightly, and the old emperor's expression became serious again. Although he looked at Li Yu's death with a joking attitude on the surface, this incident still touched him a little.

After pondering for a while, the old emperor sighed with emotion: "Li Yu has also left. I am really a little bit reluctant to leave him! People like Gao Baorong, Meng Chang, Li Yu, Qian Hongchu, and Liu Yu all once separated themselves from each other and claimed kingship. .Although he is not worthy of being my opponent, he did play an important role in the process of unifying the world. It was really the imperial court's obstruction that caused me some trouble.

Just for this reason, should we give them some respect?"

The old emperor murmured and suddenly said: "During the southern tour, I suddenly died of drunkenness. If I tell anyone, no one will believe me, and I don't know what kind of stories will be spread outside."

Turning to look at Hu De, the old emperor raised his finger and ordered: "I heard that the fish in Nanwan Lake in Xinyang are good. Go prepare a full fish banquet and summon Meng Chang and Liu Yuan. I will entertain them personally. It can be considered as a way to calm their fears. !”

"Yes! I'll make arrangements right now!" Seeing the old emperor's attention quickly shift, Hu De didn't dare to neglect at all and immediately responded.

The melodious music of the piano is still surrounding, the beautiful palace maid is still ordering tea, and the old emperor slowly closes his eyes. In this pleasant atmosphere, an old face has a bitter look, which is also his relaxed appearance. Next, the most authentic reaction.

There was still dozens of miles to go from Yangcheng to Jigong Mountain. On the fifth day of May, Luan Jia set off south again.However, this time, there were far fewer people accompanying him. Most of the officials stayed at Nanwan Lake, and a part of the imperial army was stationed in Xinyang City and the surrounding areas to protect the palace from the outside. There were less than 1 person who actually accompanied the driver and entered Taikang Palace. Thousands of people.

The official road going south is the main road to Wuchang. The further south you go, the closer you are to the mountainous area, and the more difficult the road is to travel. This is the road that the local government has spent a lot of money to open up.

When they arrived at Jigong Mountain, the old emperor had to give up his spacious and gorgeous ceremonial carriage and instead took a small car into the mountain.As soon as we entered the mountain, before we could fully appreciate the beautiful mountains, clear water, and deep forests, we were greeted with another surprise.

The car was already driving hard on the bumpy mountain road. The wheels and axles creaked and stopped suddenly. Staying in the car, you could hear the movement outside, and even a little commotion. This pair of highly disciplined people From the perspective of a guard, it is considered a fault.

The old emperor frowned slightly, picked up the gavel, knocked on the car door, and asked in a bad tone: "What's the matter?"

"Go check it out immediately, little one!" came the nervous voice of Hood.

He didn't dare to keep the old emperor waiting for too long, and Hu De came back soon, saying in a solemn tone: "I'd like to report to the officials, the matter has been found out. In front of Princess Jincheng's car, two people tied ropes and went down the mountain to stop the driver. Screaming injustice.”

"Is there such a thing?" The old emperor narrowed his eyes slightly: "Where are the people?"

"He was decisively killed by the guards because of his trespassing!" Hood replied.

"How is the princess? Have you ever been frightened?"

"Go back to the official house, Your Highness the Princess is fine!"

Luan Jian suddenly fell into silence. Hood felt that the air pressure had dropped, and said: "The official, the guards also found a blood test from one of them!"

There was no sound, only the small window opened, and a skinny old hand stretched out.Upon seeing this, Hood quickly held up the blood-like hand with both hands. No one from the guards to him dared to take a closer look at the content on it, but Hood knew that it was definitely not a small matter.

At the same time, he cursed secretly, where did the untouchables come from? At this time, in this way, this is not to disgrace the official family.Even if they lost their lives and angered the officials, people like them would also have to suffer.

After a long time, the old emperor's cold voice came out: "Get off!"

The palace had just been opened, and before anyone set foot there, such an "accident" happened.Even the old emperor himself did not expect that just two days after arriving in Xinyang, such "surprises" would come one after another.
Everything that happened to Luan Jia was eye-catching, and the incident that happened was naturally not something that could be hidden from anyone. For a time, there were different opinions and everyone looked at him with suspicion.

Driving trespassing is an extremely serious matter and can be regarded as a serious political incident. On the surface, it is just two people trespassing on the road to express their grievances. However, what if there are more people and they have other purposes?For example, assassination, the consequences of that are simply terrifying. The emperor's safety is no small matter.

Even if it's not that serious, just the matter of breaking into a car and complaining about injustice is enough to trigger endless associations.Why do you risk your life to cry out for injustice?What's written on that blood certificate?What kind of fraud happened in Shenzhou?Or it may be related to the construction of Taikang Palace...

There is no shortage of smart people in the world. Regarding this matter, even if many people cannot fully understand it, they can only guess five or six points from the many subtle signs. As for the rest, they can guess two or three points. But everyone, Just pretending to be stupid with the old emperor.

However, the driving incident happened and it still appeared in this way. It was obvious that someone did not want to continue to act stupid...
