I just like the Prime Minister

The wind in the capital is swaying from east to west, whether it is cold or not, but when the spring is approaching, it blows down wave after wave of grass on the wall.

Regardless of whether the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty are willing or not, whether they are loyal or not, the peace talks have finally been finalized before the peach blossoms are exhausted. Before the battle report, at the same time invite the Khitan envoy to return to Beijing together.

Before all the officials were confused by Li Chengzuo's [-]-turn attitude and couldn't find the north, the emperor had already prepared the next topic for everyone non-stop. For what reason, Song Zhen's daughter-in-law was accepted with great fanfare as the only noble concubine in the palace.

These two decrees are really ingenious. The former decree complied with Elder Lin Ge's intentions, and the latter decree immediately flattened the face of Marquis Fengcheng. All the officials seemed to understand that Li Chengzuo was a dude, so they didn't look at it at all. This is a so-called "balanced way".

Li Chengzuo was so happy that others couldn't see it. He happily pretended to be a foolish king who had won the battle and the world was peaceful. It doesn't matter that he behaves mischievously to others, and I don't know if he is used to it or he dare not talk too much, so that the only one who has thought about his absurd behavior is the Queen Mother.

Li Chengzuo was so bored these days, he didn't wait for the group of Khitan people who were too old to break ground, and he didn't wait for Jiang Xizhu who was thinking and awkward, but he waited for the queen mother's intensive illness. The unlucky thief finally didn't know how to die anymore, so he had to lower his eyebrows and go to the queen mother to pretend to be an obedient son.

————————————————————————————————————

The glazed tiles of the nine-fold palace door of the empress dowager's bedroom should have been resplendent and resplendent, but the empress dowager was ill, and even the light in the palace was dimmed. The windows were closed tightly, and the empress dowager half leaned on the couch, In the gold-plated incense burner in the temple, the calming sandalwood is burning, and the cigarette smoke curls up, lingering in the hazy spring and light for several degrees.

Li Chengzuo sat on the chair specially arranged for him by the Queen Mother's bed.

The queen mother turned her eyebrows sideways and glanced at him: "The emperor's health has decreased these days, and the poor health of the Ai family has dragged the emperor down."

She spoke mildly and self-sarcastically, but her tone was definitely not polite. Of course, Li Chengzuo would not be deaf and blind to take these two sentences seriously, and hurriedly lowered his head, with a look of embarrassment on his face: "Where is the mother's words, the son is terrified."

"Fear..." The Empress Dowager paused for a moment, then smiled, but her eyes were not warm, "The late emperor made decisions all his life, and my sister is also a hero among fans, unlike the Ai family who is not good at making decisions... the emperor's The temper is blue, but it is still different from Aijia."

Li Chengzuo heard the empress dowager's displeasure, and knew how much wrong to say, so he just kept silent.

The queen mother didn't ask him to tell the right and wrong. She didn't hear any response, and she didn't feel angry. Angry movements: "You were brought up by the Ai family, but now, the Ai family can't understand the emperor anymore..."

Li Chengzuo's Taohua eyes paused, and his brows frowned slightly: "Why did the queen mother say that?"

"Song Guifei." The Empress Dowager leaned back calmly, "When did the emperor know her?"

Unexpectedly, she would ask this, Li Chengzuo was at a loss for words.

The process of getting acquainted with Song Yingluo involved the incident of Li Chengzuo's "not doing business properly" when he was young.

He was born as a prince, and he grew up being watched by all the stars, but since he was a child, he witnessed the silent struggle between the concubine Lin and the queen in the harem, and he heard the truth that he couldn't find a way out "full of poems and books".The best friend and old friend is naturally a person who has no ties, but a Jiang Xizhu who is still half a child like him-he was already sensible at that time, and he clearly knew that when he was fledgling, any emotion he showed would be shattered. It's a burden, if the left and right are heavy, he would rather bear it by himself.

A few days ago, Jiang Xizhu ignored him. When Li Chengzuo recalled these years, he realized that he seemed to have whitewashed the peace in front of Jiang Xizhu from that time... so much so that the whitewash was too much. The face after the disguise will only make Jiang Xizhu feel strange, the emperor selectively treats this matter as a stick in the cornfield, and when he pokes and throws it away, he treats it as if he had broken it, just for fun.

After all, for this situation, even if he is the emperor, there is no good way. There are many things that he can't say, and many things need to be experienced and explored by himself.

For example, everyone is saying that the world belongs to him, but no one has ever told him what the "world" itself is.

At that time, he refused to honestly accumulate some military experience in the army, so he chose to lie and run out to see the "jianghu" that he only heard about in name but never saw the real thing. up...

However, it is obviously inappropriate to tell the queen mother about the past of these rotten children.

Li Chengzuo paused, just about to make up a vulgar story about "talented scholars and beautiful women" to fool the queen mother, when the queen mother gave him a very sharp look, as if foreseeing his upcoming nonsense: "Emperor! I have lived in the deep palace for a long time, but I am not an old fool!"

Li Chengzuo: "..."

Knowing a child is like a mother, not to mention that the queen mother is better than a real mother.

Li Chengzuo hesitated for a moment, and he could only tell the truth if he accepted his fate, but he still kept his words to the end: "She is an apprentice of an old friend of the national teacher."

The national teacher is Taoist Master Zixu - the current head of Wudang, Li Chengzuo's real master in martial arts; he was also caught by the Khitan people somehow, and now he is used by the Khitan people to bargain with Li Chengzuo as a "visited guest outside the Great Wall" That unlucky ghost is also the right and wrong leader.

This person's ability to kill himself is the second in the world, and no one in the world dares to admit that he is the number one. He is really a rare talent, and he can actually make Li Chengzuo, a hapless emperor who only causes trouble for others, even think about it.

The Empress Dowager naturally knew about this person. When this person was appointed as a national teacher, Li Chengzuo specially came to invite the Empress Dowager Yizhi. At that time, the Empress Dowager had a good impression of this person—this Niubi looked like that when he was not a beggar. It means that changing into a Taoist robe is like a fairy, and it has the taste of a worldly expert who is indifferent to the world of mortals. It is also equipped with a three-inch tongue, which specializes in spitting out lotus flowers, which directly coaxes the Empress Dowager to be very happy.

But now this good impression has finally been wiped out by all kinds of moths, separated by Song Guifei, who was originally at odds with the old Taoist priest, and the emperor Li Chengzuo, who is becoming more and more "misbehaving". , the national teacher has long been turned into a walking "unreliable".

Strictly speaking, this matter really has nothing to do with Zixu, it was purely because Li Chengzuo couldn't fool him and just grabbed a cheap guy to put the vat in front of the Queen Mother. Fortunately, Zixu was still detained by the Khitan people at this time, otherwise he would have to climb to the Queen Mother's Palace Outside the door, there were countless "injustices" crying and shouting.

But saying two hundred regrets can't take away the face of the "golden mouth" that was said, the queen mother sighed, a little reluctantly said: "Since this is the case, the Ai family will not study it carefully. Now that the harem has no owner, the noble concubine should be an example. Stay calm in the future..."

Before the Empress Dowager finished speaking, the palace servants who were waiting outside came to report: "Empress Dowager, Mrs. Jiang has entered the palace."

The Empress Dowager nodded upon hearing the words, ordered to come in, and then waved back the palace servants.

Li Chengzuo observed his words and said, "Mother, my son will come to greet you later."

"Remember what the Ai family said just now." The queen mother asked, knowing that it would be inconvenient to say more, she had no choice but to let Li Chengzuo go, but stopped him unwillingly, "Emperor, everything has a destiny, everything is done in heaven, good and evil Life and death are up to people, some things can be done, and some things can be left alone, the emperor must make a clear distinction."

The queen mother didn't know if there was something in her words, or she really lived in the deep palace for a long time, and she talked about "Tao follows nature" and "Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable". Suddenly she said such a sentence speciously, but it touched the secret restlessness in Li Chengzuo's heart.

Li Chengzuo made up his mind, the perfunctory and impatience in his eyes disappeared, and his peach blossom eyes were as deep as three thousand peach blossom ponds: "Son, I would like to follow the mother's teaching."

After he finished speaking, he stood up and bowed, and strode away. Within a few steps, he was already outside the palace gate.

Li Chengzuo came out of the Empress Dowager's bedroom, but he couldn't get out of the breath he was holding in his heart. He stood there for a while, and just wanted to drive to Song Yingluo's palace to show off his prestige, but he took two steps before he realized that Song Yingluo said Time is not in the palace—Ms. Song has a lot of things to do every day, and this is the time to communicate with the shadow guards about internal and external news, and it is exactly like this that Li Chengzuo went to the Queen Mother to play this sloppy eye with kindness and filial piety.

Song Yingluo was not there, and the harem with red flowers and willows was full of Huangquan roads. Li Chengzuo was disgusted by his unlucky perception, and still had nowhere to go to be unrestrained. Therefore, for the first time ever, he turned a corner and went to the Military Aircraft Department, and was going to discuss with his courtiers. If they couldn't give the Khitan people a little trouble, he would personally give his courtiers a little trouble. .

The unlucky emperor who kills himself and set fire to himself, and wants others to force, be good, do prostitution, finally finds a good way for himself to soothe his mood. In the alley under the wall, he couldn't wait to communicate, and when he shook his hands and broke into the three tile-roofed houses connected to the military plane, he regretted it as soon as he looked up.

The furnishing of the Military Aircraft Department is simple, and the sunlight that is no longer in the highest position penetrates through the dilapidated windows of the side hall. The ministers of the military aircraft had left in desperation, and in the huge three connected rooms, there was only one person who was still bowing his head and writing something at the desk.

Standing at the door, Li Chengzuo quietly looked at the figure who was writing at the desk. Before the emotion of regret gave him the idea of ​​"running away from the door", he had some beautiful reverie out of thin air.Light and shadow dimmed his vision and dimmed his years, but he always met the quietest him in the most inadvertent loss.

After so many years, the lingering warmth of a glimpse is still there, even in a dark corner, the peach blossoms that can only be born in the warmth of spring can grow in the sky.
