Between the vast sea of ​​clouds

The two were too close, and this posture was really too intimate.It would be fine if she was in the secret room of the side hall at this time, but it happened to be above the mourning hall of the first emperor. If someone with a heart finds out, there is no need for her to resign on her own. Qingping feels that she can pack up her things and get out of the hall.She took a deep breath, but still lowered her head, not daring to look directly at the sky. Inside Chu Junxiao's robe was a black imperial robe with billowing edges and twelve coats of arms painted on it. Mausoleum, six prefectures and state herdsmen arrived in Gyeonggi, then they could get rid of filial piety and ascend the throne, and be worshiped by hundreds of officials and people.

Although the mourning hall is used to commemorate the ancestors, but with Chu Jun's feelings for the empress, there is really not much true feelings in it. Qingping glanced at the lacquered pillars of the main hall, thinking that if Chu Jun has any more intimate actions, it is better to consider first Hit the pillar and forget it.

Chu Jun followed her line of sight, and was slightly taken aback when his eyes touched the lacquer pillar, and then he reacted, feeling a little subtle in his heart, let go of her hand and took a few steps back, saying: "There is no need to act like this, above the mourning hall, I won't do anything."

Qingping lowered his head and said nothing, with Chu Jun's meager respect for the empress, he might just deal with it in order to save face.Chu Jun's trust value in her heart has dropped to the center of the earth, she just pretended not to say anything about Qingping, and didn't care about anything other than official business.

But superficial skills still need to be done, the new clothes have not yet been warmed up, she does not want to be recorded for some impoliteness before the imperial court, so she said: "I don't know if your Majesty has kept the minister here, do you have anything to tell the minister?"

Chu Jun stood a little further away, carefully sizing up the young officials standing in the hall.

Qingping can also be regarded as a child brought out by her. Although she is not as good as Liu Zhen who serves by her side day and night, and her every move is close in front of her eyes, she is also familiar with her nature.After returning from Yunzhou and her party, she lost a lot of weight, and the royal blue official robe was a little empty on her body.If she was still a little embarrassed in the past, but now she is calm and calm.

There was nothing else to be seen from that calm and submissive face.

Chu Jun said: "The Ministry of Rituals has presented an excerpt, the five elements of this dynasty belong to fire, and the posthumous title of the late emperor is 'Yuan Cheng', what do you think?"

It's not Qingping's turn to intervene in this kind of matter, it's not bad to ask the Minister of Gu Ming, since the emperor asked, he has to answer carefully, Qingping said cautiously: "Masters of the Ministry of Rites have always been cautious, and the posthumous title of the late emperor is also well documented. It is perfectly appropriate to be able to think and argue that the people are called yuan, to practice righteousness and say that the people are called yuan, and to secure the people and establish a government to achieve success."

She herself felt a little weird after answering the answer. The credit of the late emperor was also reflected in the cultivation of alchemy and the pursuit of longevity. For decades, he did not ask about government affairs, and all of them were pushed to the cabinet. Falling into the hands of foreign enemies, carefully speaking, all his actions were only to contend with the courtiers for his parents after he entered the Dazong from Xiaozong.She thought that this posthumous title might not be chosen casually by Chu Jun for the sake of face. It is said that the officials of the Ministry of Rites were deposed and exiled during the crime of King Qi. It was too late to make up for the missing officials during the war, but now that the former emperor passed away, the new emperor is about to succeed , the Ministry of Rites has a heavy responsibility, but there is no one available, isn't it just what the emperor says?

Chu Jun only said: "That's right, as an official of the Ministry of Rites, Li Shizhong is well-read and knowledgeable, and has a brilliant literary talent. After the ceremony, the Ministry of Officials will make up official documents and transfer them to the Ministry of Rites."

Qing Ping bowed down and respectfully said: "Thanks to Your Majesty's kindness, this subject is extremely honored, and I will always remember it in my heart."

"It's just that your majesty, I still don't understand something, please forgive me for offending me."

Chu Jun said calmly: "Speak."

Qing Ping bowed again, and said: "The officials in the Xirong mission did not participate in the case of Ding Qian's rebellion against the enemy, but they have been wronged for a long time. I implore Your Majesty to seek justice."

Chu Jun thought for a moment and said: "Since you returned to Chang'an, the Ministry of Criminal Justice has withdrawn the arrest warrant. When Yunce's army regains the Erlan grassland and pursues the remnants of the Xirong Royal Court, I will naturally order to return his innocence. It's just that this matter involves pregnant women. It is absolutely impossible for the king's rebellion to be put on public trial in Dali Temple and announced to the world. Ding Qian's guilt has been determined, so there is no need to say more. If there are old or young in the family of the officials who are envoys, the imperial court will provide money to support the family members. people."

Smart people don’t need to say anything when they talk. Qingping knows that this is Chu Jun’s promise to him, and he will not let this matter be forgotten. I hope that the new emperor will count on himself when the liquidation is settled. The best way is to not ask anyone or mention it. Then the treason of the mission will become an unsolved case for a while, and the people who died in vain will be wronged. , will eventually be harmed.

"I thank Your Majesty for your kindness."

She kowtowed as if relieved, her forehead touched the cold ground, reflecting her blurred face.

The whistling of the wind outside the hall was vaguely heard, and the hall was extremely silent, with the candles flickering lightly.Both of them were silent, and it was true that there was nothing to say, and it was inconvenient to say anything at this time, so Chu Jun said, "The matter is over, let's step back. Liu Zhen, you go see Li Shizhong off."

After finishing speaking, he glanced at Qingping again, but at this moment Chu Jun was a little confused about her, it would be better to tell her to be alone, the future will be long, and there is no need to rush for a while.

Liu Zhen came out from the dark and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."

The new wind was bitter, and the snow piled up on the ground was rolled up and sprinkled into the sky.The sky was covered by clouds, and the sky lit up with a silver edge.Liu Zhen carried a lantern to send Qingping out of the palace. In the snowstorm, she said: "Qingping, congratulations on your reinstatement."

She was the only two walking together in the corridor, so there was no need to worry about being listened to by the eyeliner.Qingping raised the corner of his mouth and said, "Liu Zhen, thank you very much."

Liu Zhen avoided her ceremony, and seeing her calm expression, she sighed in her heart and said, "After His Majesty ascends the throne, you can return to the Ministry of Rites to serve. Given time, it will not be difficult to be promoted to the cabinet."

Qingping looked up at her, then suddenly smiled and said, "Liu Zhen, I'm not dissatisfied. I'm satisfied to be able to come back from Yunzhou and be cleared of being a traitor."

She pointedly said: "I don't dare to ask too much for the rest, this is enough."

Liu Zhen was silent, and then said: "You are a smart person, it's best if you think about it."

At this time, Liu Zhen, as the concubine of the new emperor, her status is not what it used to be, and there are many flatterers in the palace.Qingping's charges have not been cleared, and he is just a fourth-rank servant who talks about big and small. Liu Zhen is willing to talk to her about himself because of his previous affection, and it may not be without Chu Jun's instruction.

Qingping lowered his head and thought for a while, feeling that it was unfair to speculate on people like this, but Liu Zhen did serve Chu Jun wholeheartedly. If so, does the promise of that day still count?

Or, another temptation by Chu Jun?

Liu Zhen sent her not far from the palace gate, Qingping bowed his hands and said: "Liu Shangnv has worked hard, so please go back."

Liu Zhen nodded slightly, seeing that there was still some distance from the palace gate, she suddenly lowered her voice and said, "Qing Ping, what I said before is true."

There was a warm smile in the eyes of the person in front of her, and she said, "Okay."

When Qingping returned to the mansion, it was already broad daylight. When he entered the door, there was no time to change his official robes, so he bumped into the porter. The man had only been hired for less than two months. He thought the owner was just a businessman. Qingping was wearing a brand-new royal blue official robe, he was so shocked that he couldn't speak, he stammered: "Master... no, look at this little mouth, my lord..."

"Don't alarm people," Qingping said, "just go about your business."

The concierge responded repeatedly, his excitement was beyond words, she was too noisy, Qingping had already heard the sound of footsteps, the secret channel was not good, and Zhang Wei's voice came: "...What happened to make such a fuss?"

Looking at each other, Zhang Wei's pupils shrank, and he was obviously startled by her, but fortunately he was still a little rational, and he stopped the servants who were watching the crowd, and called Xiaotong to wait on Qingping to change clothes.

After Qingping came out after changing his clothes, the food was already on the table. After Zhang Wei waited for her to sit down and the two of them finished their meal, he stepped back and asked, "What's the matter with the official robe on your body?"

He came from a wealthy family, how could he not be able to tell that it was a fourth-rank official uniform, Qingping couldn't explain it clearly for a while, so he could only say: "I have been appointed as a servant of the Ministry of Rites."

Although the position of servant is only fourth grade, it is only one step away from Shangshu.Zhang Wei was silent for a while, looked at her with complicated eyes, and said, "I never heard you mention it, I thought you were white."

Qing Ping knew that he had been worried for many days before, because he had no power and power, and he had no contacts in Beijing, how could he avenge him?She stood up and saluted, and said: "It wasn't that I concealed it on purpose, it's just that the matter is too complicated, and the fewer people who know about it, the better. I will not be able to wear this official robe until after His Majesty's ceremony, and I can't count it now."

Zhang Wei felt a little weird, but he didn't ask any more questions.He had already guessed that Qingping had a deep relationship with the nobles in the palace, but suddenly he thought of something, his eyes widened, and he said in disbelief: "Could it be His Majesty..."

"Speak carefully." Qingping interrupted him, raised his eyelids slightly, and said in a bit of trouble: "Don't say it out loud, just rest assured if you know it. Wait any longer, impatientness will only lead to bad things."

Zhang Wei suddenly stopped talking, covered his mouth, then summoned his servants to clear the things on the table, calmed down for a while and said: "I see."

Qingping didn't sleep all night, and he still fought with Chu Jun in the palace for half the night.Since she came back from Yunzhou, she has often felt tired, and often felt that she was out of energy when reading and doing things.She thought of the medicines that were fed in the golden tent, and she was afraid that it was not some sequelae, but she often felt tired and tired.She walked out of the dining hall, and the servants she met on the way saluted her with respect, she smiled in her heart, and didn't feel much joy.You must know that these people were all recruited by Zhang Wei, and she didn't show much respect before, and she accidentally caught her servants whispering a few times, and she clearly regarded her as someone who relied on men for a living.

It can be seen that it is not unreasonable for people to rush to the officialdom. She took a book and read it in the study, and soon became tired, rolled up the quilt and put it on the bunk, and didn't bother to care about those things.

Today is the day when the first emperor's Zi palace entered the mausoleum, and the clan ministers were all wearing white gauze, waiting outside Yuxiao palace early in the morning.When the new emperor arrived, Zigong set off from the poor house, facing the wind and snow, and headed for the imperial mausoleum in a mighty way.

Chu Jun was sitting in the middle of the palace, and she was reading the memorial carefully, when suddenly Liu Zhen appeared beside her, and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, a servant in the harem who saw the late emperor off has passed out."

At this time, the imperial physician cannot be summoned, otherwise the journey will be delayed, and the burial cannot be done at an auspicious time, for fear of accidents.Chu Jun frowned, and said in a low voice: "Let someone send it down, don't let people see it, and find an imperial doctor to have a look."

Liu Zhen nodded, stepped aside, and ordered someone to do it.

Today's wind and snow are bigger than the day before, and because of this, no one noticed this little episode.By the time the first emperor Zigong entered the imperial mausoleum and the gate was sealed by falling stones, all the clan ministers had already been frozen to the point of disfigurement.Chu Jun then sent palace people to light charcoal stoves in the palace and distribute them.Naturally, she received another compliment. She had heard countless words of praise for her kindness and generosity in her previous life, but now she just felt very bored, and said some excuses as usual, and walked into the mourning hall under the eyes of a group of people full of gratitude.

According to the rules, the new emperor and the clan have to stay in this palace for a day and worship the former emperor before they can leave.There is a long-standing saying that if the successor is not chosen by the emperor, there will inevitably be a vision in this palace to warn future generations.It's just that legends are legends after all, and no one dares to make any trouble when the whole family is here, kneeling in the hall, burning paper and crying.

Chu Jun paid homage to the late emperor alone in the mourning hall. She was not worried that someone would play tricks. The palace was already watched as tightly as an iron bucket, and her eyeliner was everywhere.She was also looking forward to someone who couldn't hold back and was caught, no matter how many other people have too many tricks.

The palace servants who served her personally were very well-behaved by Liu Shangnv. Chu Jun took advantage of his spare time to read a few books. At this time, Liu Zhen came in, with a rare bewildered and flustered face. He knelt down and saluted: " Your Majesty, the maidservant who was carried down, privately invited the imperial doctor to ask for pulse, but I didn't expect..."

Chu Jun closed the memorial in his hand and said, "Come on, what happened again?"

Liu Zhen tremblingly said: "The waiter is actually a happy pulse!"

"How many months?"

When Chu Jun walked up to her, Liu Zhen replied solemnly: "The imperial doctor said it has been three months."

She lowered her eyes, thinking about what to do with the child.It's really hard to figure out that there is such a thing. If this news reaches the ears of the clan, it will inevitably be called a vision again.

"Take good care of people, don't let the rumors slip." Chu Jun walked a few steps, turned around and said decisively: "Let the Tai Hospital report, saying that people mourn too much and cannot be rescued, so they have already gone with the late emperor."

Liu Zhen said: "Yes."

It is indeed a hidden danger to keep this child, but it may not be without other uses.Chu Jun walked back and forth in the hall for a few steps, suddenly remembered something, and summoned the secret guards to inquire about the vassal king's affairs.At night, the secret guards had already written a secret report on the movements of the ministers of Beijing and the clan and vassals, and put it on the desk.

Chu Junben looked over and saw that some people were still restless and ready to move.She issued another secret decree, summoning the shepherds of the six prefectures to enter Beijing as soon as possible.The He and Chen prefectures are occupied by aristocratic families, and they will not be able to get in for a while.Zhou Gan handed over the booklet, saying that by the end of this year, he would be able to reach the Xirong King's Court, and the new emperor would definitely return before he ascended the throne.She wasn't worried that someone in Hengzhou would turn against her, but she just remembered one more thing.

She summoned Tianshu and asked, "Where are Tianxuan and the others now, why is there no news yet?"

Tianshu didn't know either, seeing that her complexion was not good, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and say: "Your Majesty, I don't know either."

"He Chang is dead. I'm afraid Bi Shu won't be so stupid and go back to the golden tent directly." Chu Jun said coldly, "Tell Tianxuan not to wait any longer, but to withdraw all of them. She probably didn't leave at all, and she may have left from Yunzhou now." went elsewhere."

She wrote down the handbook at the table, and quickly said: "Focus on the customs clearance documents of all states and counties. We must review the customs clearance documents of the people who come and go. If we find anything unusual, we must first control the people. If anyone does not report the knowledge, he will be punished as a crime of treason." !"

Tianshu didn't dare to delay, took the letter and left in a hurry.

Chu Jun flipped through a few more books, and at the bottom was a sky-blue satin-covered secret report with a thin piece of paper sandwiched inside. She didn't remember who it belonged to for a moment, she opened it and glanced casually, and suddenly frowned. Wrinkled, after reading this short secret report, her complexion was as cold as the twelfth lunar month, and there seemed to be infinite anger in her eyes.

After a while, she slammed the table heavily, and the memorial fell to the ground with a clatter, and the piece of paper also fell to the ground.It was only after she reacted that she realized that she had lost her composure. The calmness, smoothness and transparency that she had practiced for several years had disappeared at this moment.

Liu Zhen saw this scene when she came in. She didn't know what could have caused the emperor to lose his manners. She possessed herself to pick up the secret reports and memorials scattered on the ground, tidied them up and put them back on the table.A piece of paper caught her attention, because it was just a piece of paper without any cover, and when she picked it up, she also clearly read the contents on it.

Then her hands shook uncontrollably.

Liu Zhen put the folder back to the original place, Chu Jun had already turned his back, and said coldly, "Go and check."

She couldn't help feeling cold, the young emperor turned his face sideways, and at that moment Liu Zhen almost thought that she would lose her mind and do something crazy.Chu Jun suppressed his anger for a long time, and said word by word: "Go and check Li Qingping's whereabouts when he came back from Yunzhou, went there along the way, who did he meet..."

Liu Zhen bowed her head and agreed.

Due to emotional instability, her voice trembled a little at the end, and she said in a low voice: "Check it out more clearly, I want to know who this Zhang Wei is..."

The author has something to say: I have joined the team of clock-in codewords today, in order to encourage my lazy self!Um!Lu Xiaokui, come on!
