Overwhelming mountains and rivers

A little eunuch in palace attire rushed over in the rain, stepped in the water hole and splashed high water, but the little eunuch didn't have time to take care of it, the silver green robe was already completely soaked, and it was wet and sticky on it. body.

He ran to the door of King Teng's study, stopped suddenly, looked down at the dripping brown trousers and robe, and hesitated to come in.

Chu Xuanqing raised her eyes slowly, "Come in."

"I don't dare." The little eunuch replied subconsciously.

Chu Xuanqing said coldly, "Then you just stand there and talk, why is it so urgent?"

Although it is the door, it does have a eaves, but it can't catch him in the rain.

The little eunuch was taken aback for a moment, then respectfully said, "It's urgent to report to Your Highness, Concubine Miao is pregnant."

King Teng put down his pen, was taken aback for a moment, and said with a sudden smile, "Oh? This is a good thing, this king is going to have a younger brother or younger sister again."

Although he smiled on his face, he began to think in his heart, is it a useful chess piece, but is it going to become an enemy?However, the father can still have children in old age?

The little eunuch knelt down with a bang, not knowing whether it was cold or frightened, his body trembling a little, "Going back to the lord, it's troublesome, the empress found out that the menstruation was not yet here, so she had bad thoughts, so she secretly invited the imperial doctor, so I can't help you." I found out that I was pregnant! The imperial doctor didn’t know how long she was pregnant, but the empress thought that she hadn’t had menstruation for two months, and it must have been two months. She was terrified, so she hurriedly sent a servant to tell Lord."

Chu Xuanqing really laughed this time, "Two months? I see."

It will only be January when Concubine Miao enters the palace.

In this way, Concubine Miao was pregnant when she was in Tuojia, but she didn't find out.

"Then she asked you to tell me about this, what is her plan?"

"The empress didn't say anything about it, she planned to kill the child secretly, but there are many inconveniences in the palace, medicine is a problem, she has no one to rely on in Dayuan, meaning she wants to ask the prince for help."

It’s just a month early, so it’s not impossible to push the child to the emperor. When the time comes, it’s just a premature birth, but the problem is that the child is of the Tuojia race, and the only thing that’s left is the blue-eyed eagle-nosed appearance. , can't hold back at all.

If you want to say that you look like a mother, except for the eye sockets and the color of the eyes, Miaolagu is still in line with the aesthetics of the people of the Central Plains, otherwise she would not be dedicated to the emperor by Gergis.

Chu Xuanqing didn't speak, he knew that what Concubine Miao did was right, if he wanted to stay in the palace, this child had to be removed.

He walked back and forth in the study for a few steps, then stopped suddenly, raised his head and laughed softly, "Chu Xuanzhao, this is your fate!"

"Your Highness?" the little eunuch called softly.

"Go back to your mother and tell her that this king will help her solve what she said. However, this king has a condition. She must do this step by step according to this king's instructions. Since the child cannot be kept , then let him die well, so as not to live up to his past existence..."

"...Yes, Your Highness."

"Go back now, tell Concubine Miao, let her find a chance to tell Father about this matter, and make Father happy. Remember to let her pretend to be decent, if something bad happens, I will not be able to keep her! , I will tell her slowly."

"Yes, the servant remembered."

…………

The little eunuch didn't dare to delay, and hurried away in the cold rain.

"Wang Yue."

Hearing the sound, Wang Yue quickly walked out from behind the screen, "My lord, who were you just now?"

"If you don't care about it, just ask less, just take care of your own affairs. You don't have enough brains, and you still ask this and that all day long." Chu Xuanqing was a little impatient.

"Yes, my lord, do you read what I said before?"

Chu Xuanqing sighed, "Go ahead and look for it. Didn't you say that Liu Hewu belonged to your brother-in-law? Let him look for it."

"He's already searched for it, but he found nothing. Moreover, his younger brother Liu Wenqing has obviously become suspicious. Now Liu Wenqing has disappeared. Maybe the letter of request is on him—"

"Maybe, maybe, since it's not sure, you can decide for this king. I let you be the Minister of the Ministry of Officials. I want you to serve my life, not for you to cause trouble for this king!" Chu Xuanqing exhaled heavily. , the tone slowed down, "This king can only help you pay more attention to the father and Chu Xuanzhao, and there is no way to do more. You can find a way, the important thing is to find things."

"...Yes. Thank you, my lord." Despite his anxiety, he also knew that this was the only way to go.

…………

This rain stopped and stopped, and there was no sunny day for five or six days in a row.

And Dayuan's court hall has not seen a sunny day for several days.

First, a letter of request went directly to the imperial court to investigate the case, and Ma Liang, the governor of Yanzhou, accused him of crimes. After investigation, many officials were involved in selling officials and nobles. The emperor was furious, and immediately wanted to execute everyone involved in the case.

Unexpectedly, the emperor, who was in full swing of anger, never mentioned the matter of beheading the next day. He just dealt with it hastily.

All the officials in the court were puzzled by this, and probably only Chu Xuanqing knew best that it was Concubine Miao's "good news" that played a role.

Chu Xuanzhao was obviously dissatisfied with this result. After discussing with Shen Qingjun, the two decided to strike while the iron was hot. So, that night, a few officials were not in the right mind, secretly communicated with Tuojia, and tried to plot evidence and records was presented to the emperor.

It's not that Chu Xuanzhao didn't want to report to the court early, but, for more than a month, there was only the request for orders, and the emperor went to court for the next time.

The affairs of these officials were not very involved in the affairs of King Teng and Wang Yue, but unfortunately, Wang Yue, as the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, was not investigated by the officials, so he had a heavy responsibility.

What's more, this is not one or two officials, but seven or eight people, and two of them are in important positions.

And Chu Xuanzhao knew that this was only half of the list.In the half of the list obtained, two had only surnames, one was Zhang and the other was Qu.

There were too many surnames Zhang, Shen Qingjun ignored them, but the surname Qu was rare, after some elimination, the two quickly included the officials with the surname Qu from Sima Qu in Liangzhou.

In the end, although Wang Yue saved his life, he was dismissed.

Wang Yue was originally supported by King Teng, Chu Xuanzhao was also clear about this.

But Wang Yue had an accident, but Teng Wang was able to leave it clean. Chu Xuanzhao had expected this, but he still felt a little unhappy.

When he thought that King Teng would hold his hand at least for a while, he did not expect that King Teng would suddenly focus on the position of Minister of the Ministry of Officials again, trying to push one of his own people up again.

He finally understood Shen Qingjun's evaluation of Chu Xuanqing, "judging the situation and taking advantage of the situation", it really was so.

But if you understand it, of course Chu Xuanzhao does not allow him to do this. Fortunately, Shen Qingjun had already thought of Chu Xuanqing's reaction, and asked him to transfer back Lu Wenkai, who had been arranged to go to Jiangnan, a few days in advance.

Lu Wenkai was the other person that Shen Qingjun pointed out to Chu Xuanzhao besides Li Shangnuo and Lou Jing when he was at the Wenhui in Liuhelou.

Later, Chu Xuanzhao tried to transfer him to Jiangnan to be a Sima in order to hone him, and he really lived up to expectations. In the second month, he became the governor because of an official case. In just a few months, he was promoted again. After leaving the magistrate of Yangzhou, it is just available at this time.

Yangzhou is the most difficult place to be a magistrate in the world, because in Yangzhou alone, there are three or four officials above the fourth rank, and all of them can step on the magistrate, so everyone in the court knows that it is possible to be a magistrate in Yangzhou. Those who have stayed in the same seat for two months must be difficult to deal with.

Chu Xuanzhao tried his best, and finally persuaded the prime minister to help, and finally secured the position of Minister of the Ministry of Officials.

Chu Xuanqing didn't turn his face in the hall, but just walked outside the palace gate, said "wait and see", and got into the sedan chair.

Chu Xuanzhao smiled and didn't care.

He knew Chu Xuanqing, and when he spoke harshly, he didn't have to worry.

If he still had a smile on his face, and he was playing back and forth, it would mean that he was planning something in his stomach, which made people uncertain.Ken Yu's harsh words showed that he was really angry.

…………

After another two days of cloudiness, it finally cleared up after the rain.

Although there is no cold rain, the day is getting colder and colder.

It was already the beginning of November, and the winter solstice was approaching.

Chu Xuanzhao received a decree from the eunuch, saying that Concubine Miao was pregnant, Long Yan was very happy, and planned to hold a banquet in the palace on the fifteenth day of this month, ordering all the concubines to attend the banquet.

Chu Xuanzhao threw a cup in anger that night, not because Concubine Miao was pregnant, but because of the so-called order of "all concubines and princes", but there were no eunuchs in Chu Xuanxin's house to deliver the order.

But Chu Xuanxin had to go. With such a will, Chu Xuanzhao didn't know how to tell Chu Xuanxin.
