Just like the drunken voice

Zhang Shengde said that the emperor asked him to return to court as soon as possible, but did not specify the specific time.Chu Si dragged left and right, and dragged from the winter moon to the twelfth lunar month.

The emperor didn't say anything, but occasionally sent someone to remind him.The small courtyard is not too far from the Forbidden Palace, and you can walk back and forth in one day.It's not close, the place is remote, and the road is rugged. Every time the father-in-law who comes to remind him doesn't say anything, he probably complains in his heart.What's more, when the people sent by the emperor come, they have to entertain them, and the whole mansion will be in chaos for half a day.Chu Si had no choice but to take Wang Er and a few clever servants back to the capital.

A group of people went out early, and they were still several miles away from the gate of the city, and they saw someone waiting at the gate of the city from a distance.It was only after the carriage wobbled to the door that it was Eunuch Zhang who brought people to greet him.

"Lord Chu." Zhang Shengde is the favored father-in-law in front of the emperor, even if he is an eunuch, he will not be able to play tricks when he sees him, and he has to call "Eunuch Zhang" respectfully.Zhang Shengde himself is also a man of taste, he would not dare to put on airs in front of some people, such as Chu Si in front of him.Therefore, he came up first to greet Chu Si and bowed in a respectful manner.

"The emperor heard that Mr. Zhang is leaving for the palace today, and asked the servants to wait here to take you back to the palace."

"Eunuch Zhang has worked hard." Chu Si didn't think there was anything wrong, and let the people brought by Zhang Shengde pick up his luggage.

Zhang Shengde said again: "The emperor has ordered, after you return to the city, please go to face the emperor's order first."

Chu Si said: "So urgent?" Then he thought about it, he had been procrastinating for so long, it was natural for Shao Jing to be anxious, and immediately nodded: "It should be. I will let you go."

After finishing speaking, he turned his head and told Wang Er a few words, then got into the sedan chair that had been prepared behind Eunuch Zhang, and the two groups of soldiers split into two groups and went to their destinations.

Chu Si lived in a remote place. After he became an official, he was in poor health and never went out to play. The range of activities was only his own small courtyard, and the hill where Wang Erxun is today.Ascending a height, looking far away, drinking tea and reading books, it is rare to be at ease.Live a quiet and leisurely life, forgetting the thriving world of mortals, and really don't hear anything outside the window.Fortunately, Chu Si's family is quite well-off, and he has a loyal old slave to take care of him up and down, so he doesn't have to worry about food and clothing. The days of self-cultivation and self-cultivation have only passed five years like this.

Sitting in the sedan chair, Chu Si listened to the voices of the bustling crowd on the road, from deserted to bustling and then deserted again, he knew that it was almost the Forbidden Palace.He stayed quietly in the sedan chair all the way, and never lifted the curtains of the sedan chair. Zhang Shengde followed beside the sedan chair and thoughtfully exchanged a few words, but Chu Si was not curious about the capital city that he hadn't seen for many years, and said a word along the way. If he didn't say anything, Zhang Shengde was afraid that he would offend Chu Si by speaking rashly, so he just kept his mouth shut.Yes, this team entered the palace under such a strange atmosphere.

The bearer put down the sedan chair, and the bottom of the sedan chair knocked against the marble floor tiles with a dull sound.Zhang Shengde opened the sedan chair curtain and said: "Lord Chu, the sedan chair can only go here. The emperor is dealing with government affairs in the Wende Palace. Please go."

Chu Si got off the sedan chair and said, "Thank you, Eunuch Zhang."

He looked up, and the majestic palace that he hadn't seen in five years stood not far away.Red walls and glazed tiles, white marble railings, everything in front of him is so familiar, as if he hasn't left in the past two years, but just an ordinary Hugh Mu.Chu Si sighed and walked slowly towards Wende Hall.

"Your Majesty, Lord Chu has come to reply."

Shao Jing was looking at the memorial, with a brush dipped in cinnabar, writing and drawing on the memorial.A perfect circle was about to be sealed, but the hand suddenly flicked and flew out.Shao Jing quietly closed the memorial and threw it aside, then said to the eunuch: "Xuan."

Chu Si was waiting outside the hall, and when he heard the letter from inside, he bowed his body and bowed his head to enter.

When he arrived in front of Shaojing, he knelt straight down and said: "My humble servant pays respects to the emperor, long live my emperor, long live long live."

One tap, two taps, three taps.Get up, kneel down, knock three more times.Repeat this three times.In the end, he still lay there with his forehead touching the ground.

Shao Jing watched him kneel down in front of him three times and kowtow nine times, then the posture of throwing himself on the ground stopped moving, and he didn't make a sound to get him up, just staring at him.Chu Si didn't move either, and simply lay still on his stomach.

The two monarchs and ministers were at a stalemate.

Zhang Shengde had already come in to serve, seeing the two of them like this, he planned to interrupt the embarrassment, unexpectedly heard Shao Jing say: "Zhang Shengde, take everyone down. Leave two people to wait outside the door."

"Cha." Zhang Shengde had no choice but to follow orders and lead a group of court ladies and eunuchs out.

In the twelfth lunar month, the weather is getting colder and colder, the earth dragon in the Wende Hall is burning hot, and the floor is covered with thick carpets, Shao Jing is not afraid of him catching cold.Li'er is Lier like this, but Shaojing still feels sorry for him, and said as if giving up: "Get up."

"Thank you, Lord Long En." Chu Si stood up, stood with lowered eyebrows, and didn't say a word.

"Come on, I've lost to you. You gave me such a big gift when you came up, and you still don't look up at me." Shao Jing walked around from behind the desk to the front of the table, "Is that why you don't want to see me? "

Chu Si lowered his head and saw the pair of shoes embroidered with golden dragons approaching him, he hurriedly said: "The emperor is joking." The next second, his chin was pulled, and he raised his head forcefully.

When the four eyes met, Chu Si couldn't help but tremble all over.

"You Zhi, what are you afraid of? Are you guilty?" Shao Jing looked carefully at this face that he hadn't seen in two years, seeing that it was full of fear, he asked.

"Wei... I'm afraid..." Chu Si was still ashamed of this person in his heart. Hearing Shao Jing's words, his head suddenly buzzed, and he was about to faint when he couldn't stand upright.

"You Zhi!" Shao Jing unexpectedly provoked such a big reaction from Chu Si just by getting close to him.

"Chen... I'm guilty of disturbing Shengjia." After finishing speaking, he wanted to kneel down again.

Where did Shaojing make him kneel, and quickly shouted: "Zhang Shengde!"

Hearing the commotion inside, Zhang Shengde secretly felt bad, so he heard the emperor greet him again, and hurried into the inner hall.

"Go get the imperial doctor!" After saying that, he picked up Chu Si and entered the bedroom.

Zhang Shengde at the other end got the order, and called the fast-footed little eunuch to invite the imperial doctor, and he himself followed into the bedroom to serve him.

Chu Si is actually fine, but seeing Shao Jing getting emotional and rushing to his head, coupled with the high temperature in the bedroom, he fainted, and he was seven or eight points awake when he was carried to the bed by Shao Jing

He lifted the brocade quilt and was about to get out of bed, but Shao Jing held him down.

"Your Majesty, this is not in line with etiquette." Chu Si looked at the people coming in and out of the hall, and looked at Shao Jing pleadingly.

Words are scary.It's not that Chu Si really didn't care about world affairs these years, but was hurt by this rumor.

Shao Jing understood Chu Si's concerns, he comforted him: "People in my palace, what are you afraid of? And..."

Shao Jing sat by the bed and shook Chu Si's hand, "I am the emperor now, You Zhi."

Shao Jingyong claimed to be "I" instead of Zhen. Obviously facing Chu Si, he was still thinking about the friendship when he was young. The relationship between the two of them is no different from that of many years ago.Besides, Shao Jing became the emperor in the end, and the crown prince died of illness. Perhaps it was a coincidence that the late emperor died. Shao Jing may not be the generation of dogs and wolves who killed brothers and fathers.It's a pity that the second prince's tricks are exhausted, but he is no match for the destiny.What's more, just now Shaojing was just promoting the emperor's prestige, but he overreacted.Thinking of this, Chu Si calmed down a little.

Chu Si's health was not good, and he went to the Forbidden Palace all day, and came to see him non-stop. Just now, he was bluffed by Shao Jing, and his spirit became more and more short. Seeing Shao Jing's attitude, he comforted himself again. He also slowly relaxed and fell asleep.

When the imperial doctor arrived, Chu Si was already asleep. The imperial doctor opened his mouth to greet him, but Shao Jing stopped him, and he signaled the imperial doctor to come over and take Chu Si's pulse.

The imperial doctor's surname is Tian, ​​who is over sixty years old, and has been serving in the palace for forty years since he became a master of medicine.He naturally knew the one lying on the dragon couch, but he still sounded his pulse calmly, and bowed his hands to Shao Jing, motioning to take a step to talk.

"Doctor Tian, ​​how is Chu Si?"

"It's nothing serious, it's just the root cause of the disease that fell in the past, and today I'm a little tired, so I faint." Tian Yuyi replied.

Both of them knew the root cause of the disease in the past, and Imperial Physician Tian knew that he didn't need to speak too clearly, the emperor knew better than him.

"The medicine is three-point poisonous, Lord Chu is fine, I should stop prescribing prescriptions," said Imperial Physician Tian again.

"Alright." Shao Jing turned around to enter the dormitory, suddenly remembered something, and said again, "Physician Tian, ​​what happened today..."

"Your Majesty is worried about state affairs and overthinking. Today, he is just a little bit out of spirit. Just take a good rest and it will be fine." Doctor Tian replied hastily.

"He's a sensible person." Shao Jing snorted and said, "Go down and receive the reward."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness." Imperial physician Tian bent over and stepped back out of the bedroom. After closing the door of the palace, he straightened up and wiped the sweat from his forehead.After 40 years of working in the palace, he can see some things for real.What can be said and what cannot be said, what should be said and what should not be said, is clearer than anyone else.Today's matter, I'm afraid it will rot in my stomach for the rest of my life.
