Record of ups and downs in troubled times

No matter what Tan Yangui's plan is, his illness is not a serious one, and he will get better day by day.

The first rain of autumn came pattering down early in the morning.Zhou Zheng walked quickly into the Changle Palace with a black and green ribbon official uniform in his hands, and stood in front of a gold-rimmed screen with engraved patterns in the side hall. The shadowy figure behind the screen said cautiously: "Second Young Master, can I send the clothes in?"

There was a vague "hmm" from inside.After getting the order, Zhou Zheng walked around the screen with his clothes in his hands, lowered his head and neatly placed the objects in his hands on the long table next to the pineapple bath barrel.After thinking about it carefully, he took out a cicada-shaped Sinanyu belt hook that was under the clothes and put it on the other side.

This was chosen by the emperor himself for the second son Tan. I don't know if he can understand the emperor's mind.

Zhou Zheng couldn't make a judgment on what was right and what was wrong: His Majesty did go too far, but Zhou Zheng was someone close to the emperor, so he naturally hoped that the emperor would live better.No matter how Liu Pu couldn't feel sorry for Tan Yangui, Zhou Zheng always hoped that the second son Tan could tolerate a little and be willing to stay by the emperor's side.

The emperor has a bad temper, but it is true that he likes Mr. Tan.Ever since the two got angry that day, the emperor stayed in Jingren Palace for many days, approving memorials and meeting courtiers every day, but he never set foot in Changle Palace.In the eyes of others, it seemed that he couldn't swallow this breath, but in fact, the emperor couldn't hold back his face.This time the emperor deliberately sent Tan Yan back to Ming Chan with a jade belt hook, could it be that he was deliberately trying to please Mr. Tan?

With this thought in Zhou Zheng's mind, he raised his head and saw Tan Yangui wearing the hook, squinting his eyes and smiling, thinking: The emperor would be so happy to see someone wearing the little thing he gave him.This happiness, the two get along well, that would be great.

Tan Yangui is outstanding in appearance, so she looks good with any clothes.Furthermore, this official uniform was specially tailored according to his figure, making him look like a crown jade and handsome as a star god.He had just passed the age to wear a crown a few months ago, and the jade and glazed crown on his hair at this moment was too extravagant, but it was actually quite appropriate when he was overwhelmed by the calm and steady aura around him.

As expected, he was the person whom the emperor of his country had taken a fancy to.

Liu Pu looked down at this man walking slowly on the official road, and felt that Yan Gui was the only one shining brightly in his eyes.

"Do things later, don't make any mistakes." When Liu Pu was concentrating on watching Tan Yangui, when he heard the Queen Mother's instructions in his ear, he immediately felt a little irritable, so he made a few perfunctory remarks and found an excuse Let her go to the ceremony official.He just scolded the Cheng family for their lack of greed in his heart, but he didn't see: Behind him, the queen mother squinted her eyes and looked meaningfully at Tan Yangui under the stage, not knowing what she was planning.

There are a lot of etiquette officials to worry about the ominous ceremony, and it is very well done.After noon, the crying ceremony was over, and everyone on and off the stage, whether they were sincerely mourning or pretending to flatter, lifted their sleeves to wipe their tears.There are still a few people, I don't know if it is true or not, but they are still crying and refusing to stop.

Liu Pu looked at everything under the stage with cold eyes, and after all the etiquette was over, he suddenly stood up and walked towards the coffin that was about to be closed.It was fine for him to leave, but Tan Yangui, who was specially called to serve the emperor, was startled suddenly, touched the jade hook on his belt, and couldn't remember it for a while.

That was not a cicada with a jade belt hook!

Now Liu Pu took the Jade Cicada from the hook, only to reveal its prototype: it was actually a jade eagle flying horizontally with two wings spread out.The jade eagle's wingtips were somewhat closed, and the cicada jade just happened to get stuck between these wings, hiding the eagle's head and body below.

Holding the jade cicada in his hand, Liu Pu walked to the side of the coffin, stretched out his hands to pinch the cheeks of King Ke in the coffin, and with some strength, put the jade cicada into King Ke's slightly opened mouth.At this time, Zhou Zheng slapped his forehead suddenly and realized: he actually missed his sight!Where is this Si Nanyu, this is clearly Chaoguyu!

According to the custom of the court, before burial, a tongue must be held in the mouth, which is called "琀".This piece of jade is very exquisite, only emperors and princes can have pearls and jade in their mouths, and the grades of jade are also divided into high and low. Among them, the rarest one is the "Chaogu Jade" in Liu Pu's hands.It's nothing more than the rarity of ancient jade, but those who can carve on such precious jade are mostly extremely powerful jade craftsmen, good jade and good knife skills, there are only ten princes in the dynasty who have won this honor.

Zhou Zheng had been in the palace for many years, and he only saw one when Emperor Wen was buried.I can't blame him for admitting his mistake.

"A gentleman has no reason, and the jade will not die." Liu Pu congratulated in a low voice.When he said these words, the queen mother seemed to wake up in a start. She glanced at Cheng Nan hurriedly, and was about to pull the emperor away.When Xu Shi saw the empress dowager's face turned pale, Princess Yonglin shuddered in fear, and even dared to step forward and grab the empress dowager's arm, and raised Liu Pu: "Brother..."

Liu Pu turned his head and looked at the faces of several people: Cheng Nan still had that unfathomable, inscrutable expression.The ministers who were far away didn't understand what happened on the stage, and those who should cry were still moaning and rubbing the tip of their noses, making their eye circles red.

He looked at Tan Yangui, Yangui's expression had softened a bit, but now that he understood what was going on, his expression became even colder.

The corners of Liu Pu's eyes twitched slightly, he forced himself not to look at Tan Yangui, and nodded towards Zhou Zheng.

Huang De was lightly tugged at his sleeve by Zhou Zheng, and slowly approached Liu Pu with a square silver plate full of auspicious clouds, and respectfully raised the plate over the top, presenting the contents on the plate to Liu Pu’s eyes .

On the plate were two things: a dark purple ribbon and an official seal in the shape of a gold tortoise.There are two complicated ancient characters on the gold seal with purple ribbon: "False King".

It turned out to be the regent king.

Liu Pu stretched out his hand to caress the small and delicate penis on the gold seal, and looked at the expressions of everyone again with the corner of his mouth curled up: the Empress Dowager's expression finally relaxed, she straightened her sleeves, and brushed away Yonglin's hand.Few of the ministers in the audience were very surprised. It seemed that most of them had the news in advance.

The news is very well informed.Liu Pu sneered in his heart, held the ribbon and the big seal in his hands, and walked towards Cheng Nan who was standing beside him.Cheng Nan smiled knowingly, and raised his hand to take the things that had already been promised to belong to him.

The emperor stopped in front of Cheng Nan, smiled gently at him, but avoided Cheng Nan's hand holding the printing tape, and walked around him.

There was an uproar in the audience.

Although those ministers did not dare to express anything publicly, they exchanged glances quietly with each other.Seeing Cheng Nan's smile froze at the corner of her mouth, the Empress Dowager's face became even more gloomy. She wanted to intercept Liu Pu on the way, but was held back by Princess Yonglin who didn't know what to do.

Liu Pu still smiled happily, and holding the golden seal with purple ribbon, he stopped straight in front of King Liu Ning of Yingchuan.

The emperor stared at King Yingchuan for a while, and solemnly handed over the object in his hand.

King Yingchuan didn't answer.

Liu Ning was stared at by the officials on and off the stage, and felt cold sweat on his back: How could this thing in front of him be a symbol of status and power?This is obviously a dagger, a bottle of poisoned wine, and a scorpion that bites without blinking.Although Cheng Xiang didn't turn his head to look at him, there seemed to be eyes on his spine, watching him closely to see if he dared to stretch out his hand.

How dare he?

Liu Ning stood numbly, with beads of sweat gradually appearing on his forehead, and looked at Liu Pu with a begging look in his eyes: He had no idea that the emperor would do such a thing suddenly, if he had known this earlier, he would rather die than here.

King Yingchuan didn't accept it, and the emperor couldn't take it back.

Liu Pu actually thought about this situation.But he still had hopes in his heart before, thinking that King Yingchuan was his elder brother after all, and if he forced him like this, he might agree.Now, he finally gave up, let go of his hand, and the big seal fell to the ground with a dull thud.

He was still holding the deep purple ribbon in his hand, and was about to throw it on the ground, when suddenly a person behind Liu Ning stepped forward, bent down and picked up the golden seal that was thrown on the ground.

One part of this man's forehead was sunken back, and he looked very strange. No matter who glanced at him, he would not forget his strange face.What is even more surprising is that on such an ugly and terrifying face, there is a pair of extremely docile eyes, like a lamb.

He picked up the golden seal, tucked his hands into his sleeves, wiped it off with his sleeves, held it in his palm and handed it to the emperor, and along the way he sent a sincere smiling face, and said inarticulately: "Here."

This smile reveals the two dimples on both sides of his cheeks.Liu Pu stared at him in astonishment, not knowing where this person came from.

"This is His Royal Highness King Yundian." Standing beside the ugly man was a bearded foreigner with light yellow eyes and a straight nose. He called him "King Yundian" over and over again, which shows that he is not usually called that way. Silly master.He took a step forward, folded his arms across his chest, and made a nondescript salute. "I am Kuomuye, the bodyguard of King Yundian. I wish your Majesty a long live and good fortune."

Looking at the face of this King Yundian again, isn't he just an idiot?

Liu Pu found out his identity, took another look at the golden seal he was holding in his hand, raised his hand not only did not take the seal back, but put the ribbon on King Yundian's wrist.He took King Yundian's hand, put it on the golden seal, and said softly, "Congratulations."

There was some threat in the emperor's eyes, and under the threat, there was a layer of pleading: If King Yundian also rejected this seal, he, Liu Pu, would really become the laughing stock of the court; , and became a jumping clown.

Liu Zheng, King of Yundian, held the square seal with both hands, and looked at Kuo Muye beside him with some anxiety: Kuomu also lowered his eyes, his expression was hidden in the deep eye sockets, and he didn't know what to do.This person must be someone like a counselor next to King Yundian. He was undecided, but Liu Zheng just assumed that he would not allow it, so he turned around and handed back the things in his hand to Liu Pu.

Seeing that he was going to return the seal, Liu Pu smiled wryly, wishing he could lie in the coffin instead of King Ke at this very moment.Unexpectedly, the situation suddenly changed: Kuomu also stretched out his hand, took King Yundian's arm, and nodded slowly but firmly to him.

Is this being sealed and agreed to be the regent?

Liu Pu was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly he was extremely pleasantly surprised, the corners of his brows and eyes were filled with smiles.He was happy, turned his head and habitually looked for Tan Yangui's trace, only to find that this person had long since disappeared.As far as the eyes could see, only the stupid boy Huang De accompanied Zhou Zheng and looked at him worriedly.

I don't know what's wrong with Zhou Zheng. To pick an apprentice, you have to pick someone with the same flat nose as him. At first glance, they look like father and son.

Liu Pu pretended not to care and buried it secretly, but a bitter taste suddenly appeared in his mouth.He has always been used to acting, but at this moment he concentrating and glanced around, still showing an irresistible air of dignity, impeccable.

It's not that you don't want the country or the beauty.He, Liu Pu, is very ambitious, and he has always made up his mind that all the country and beauties will be in his pocket.It's a pity that the country is precarious now, and I don't know how many people are coveting that unbearably cold height, so let's fix it first.The knot in the beauty's heart took him a lifetime to unravel, and the future will last forever.

Well, it will be a long time in the future.
