Yes Qing Fei Qing

Han Qingming sat on the chair and waved his hands, "Sit."

Liu Tao sat down on the chair opposite, and asked with some anxiety, "I don't know why Mr. Han called me here?"

Han Qingming said leisurely, "Above the nine heavens, there are gods and immortals who inhale the wind and drink the dew, swim against the wind, and land in the north of Qiongfa. There is a flower garden where flowers are competing to bloom. No matter the season or season, there is a peony in it, which is gorgeous in color and luster." , the petals are stretched, brilliant and lovely. It looks like the morning glow reflecting the lake, the autumn moon shining on the waves, like the dancing of nine phoenixes, like the splendor of the scorpion. The gods are happy when they see it, and they want to pick it. At this time, a hill grows on the ground and turns into a human being , said, 'Flowers are blooming, why do you pick them?'"

Liu Tao didn't know what Han Qingming meant, so he could only listen quietly.

"The immortal said, this flower is very beautiful, I like it, and I want to pick it up and bring it back to Nine Heavens."

Han Qingming poured water for the two of them, put a glass in front of Liu Tao, and motioned him to drink. Liu Tao thanked him and carefully picked up the glass to drink lightly.

Han Qingming continued, "The land said, 'Peanuts grow in the soil and grow in the soil, so they can be so gorgeous. If you pick them, the stems will be broken, and they will be nourished away from the land. They will be worn on the temples and placed in bottles, so they will not be nourished by water and soil. , as time goes on, it will always lose its color and wither. Why not let it grow, bloom every day, and grow color every year?'”

He said to Liu Tao, "What do you think?"

Only then did Liu Tao suddenly understand, with a serious face, and after a while, he replied seriously, "Flowers naturally grow better in the soil, so I don't know how to pick flowers. I wish to be a flower garden and let peonies grow in it for the rest of my life. Shelter it from the wind and rain, and let it be free and open.”

"Heh," Han Qingming chuckled. "My family, Feihe, cleans the noodles with milk every day, eats and eats recipes that can be called the royal secrets, and cuts more than ten pieces of clothes every season, and each piece of fabric used can sell for dozens of gold. Hairpins, rings and hairpins are rare The treasures, rouge and gouache are specially made. How dare you say that you can be a flower garden?"

Liu Tao said firmly, "Because I know that Master Han hopes that the flower garden I want to build is not rich or powerful, but I hope that I will respect her, love her, let her do what she wants to do freely, be able to Let her live her life without any worries."

"..." Han Qingming nodded, "That's right, you guessed right. Can you guarantee that you can make my sister live happily ever after?"

"Yes!" Liu Tao's eyes seemed to be full of brilliance, he said, "I have never seen such a gentle and talented woman as Feihe, if I marry her, I will respect her and love her." her, let her do whatever she wants, and never make her hard."

Han Qingming nodded, "That's right, but how long can flowers be beautiful? When she gets old, I'm afraid you won't think so."

Liu Tao said, "I swear, in this life, I will only marry her and never take a concubine!"

Only now did Han Qingming laugh.

"It will be an auspicious day in a few days, call your family to propose marriage."

Liu Tao was overjoyed, bowed deeply, and said, "Thank you, Mr. Han, for making it happen!"

After Liu Tao left, Han Qingming sat in the study and sighed deeply.

The second butler was coming to report the matter. After all, the Miss Han family was going to get married, and the gold and silver shop that was used as the dowry had to be properly divided. He saw Han Qingming sitting on a chair with a gloomy expression on his face.

"The beautiful peony that my family worked so hard to raise," Han Qingming said slowly, "it will be eaten by pigs."

Second Steward: "..."

On this day, Han Qingming went to court and was dozing off with his eyes closed.Last night, Yu Feizheng came again in the middle of the night. After tossing and tossing for a long time, he still has a dull pain in his back... He clearly ordered the housekeeper to allow him to come and go freely, but this guy still opens the window in the middle of the night, and he doesn't know what he likes.

As he was squinting, the emperor in the hall spoke up and said, "There are two important things today. First, I want to marry the third lady of the Han family to my third daughter, Jiang Yu."

The eunuch beside him shouted loudly, "Lord Han, please kneel down to accept the order!"

Han Qingming's whole body was shocked, he couldn't believe it, he almost raised his head to look at the emperor.The other courtiers were also in an instant uproar.

Han Qingming came to his senses, took two steps, knelt down, and said, "I accept the order."

The eunuch handed him the scroll with the cinnabar seal, Han Qingming took it with both hands, and the emperor said in a thin voice, "Get up..."

Han Qingming stood back.

An old minister stood up and said, "Your Majesty, this is against Chang Lun..." Before he finished speaking, the emperor raised his hand to stop him.

"Second thing... I'm going to make a crown prince, but I don't know who will be chosen by the Qing family?" the emperor said.

The court was in an uproar again.

The previous gift of marriage was immediately concealed. Several old officials who had escaped the big purge looked at each other and stood up one after another. Some even proposed to release the second prince and regain the throne.

The emperor listened for a while, but said, "Han Qing's family, what's your opinion?"

Han Qingming remained silent, stood up, and said, "I tell Your Majesty, I think that the Ninth Prince can take the position."

"..."

The hall was silent, but then there was an uproar.

"It's a joke! His Highness Ninth Prince is still young, how can he ascend to the throne?"

"The Ninth Prince has only been found from the outside not long ago, and even he hasn't read much. How can he be appointed to a high position?"

"The Ninth Prince is shy by nature, so he really can't bear the big responsibility."

Some people even said, "Lord Han, even if you are the young teacher of the Ninth Prince, don't be so biased!"

The emperor on the throne opened his eyes and looked at him.

Han Qingming was stared at by everyone, not timid at all, calm and composed.

The emperor motioned to the eunuch beside him, and the eunuch said loudly, "Quiet!"

The court was quiet.

The emperor said, "Why did Han Qing's family say such a thing?"

Han Qingming said, "Reporting to Your Majesty, the Second Highness and the Fifth Highness who conspired against each other must not be able to bear the great responsibility. The Fourth Highness is cowardly, and the Seventh Prince is sick. Only the Ninth Prince can take up the big position. Moreover, the Ninth Prince is modest, polite, and studious. Although he is still young, With time, it will definitely become a talent!"

The emperor fixedly looked at him.

Han Qingming has always dared to speak and act. He has experienced this kind of gaze many times before, without any fear, and his expression is calm.

The court immediately divided into two groups, one group agreed with Han Qingming, and the other group opposed him.

Those who agree are mostly young officials who were promoted after the Great Purge.Han Qingming's reputation has long been spread far and wide. As a new school, they admire Han Qingming's resourcefulness, so they naturally draw close to him.

Most of the objectors were veterans, among them Zhou Di.

The emperor opened his cloudy eyes, looked at Han Qingming, and then at Zhou Di, who was fighting for reason.For a long time, he closed his eyes, as if in deep thought.

More and more people refuted and even questioned Han Qingming, but Han Qingming remained calm and calm as before.

Finally, the emperor opened his eyes and said, "As Han Qing's family said, His Royal Highness the Ninth Highness will be appointed as the heir! Prime Minister Zhang made a memorial service a few days ago, and I agree. At the same time, I will promote Han Qingming to be the prime minister!"

The eunuch was signaled, stepped forward and shouted, "Retire!"

Han Qingming smiled.

He was right.

After going to court, Han Qingming walked out of the hall, watching Zhou Di approaching.

Zhou Di said, "Unexpectedly, His Majesty chose you in the end..."

Han Qingming looked at him, "Your words seem to have deep meaning?"

Zhou Di shook his head and smiled wryly, "If you hadn't been a merchant, I'm afraid this position would have been given to you long ago. Your Majesty is afraid that you will be favored too sharply and be misled by others, and also afraid that you will be framed by others and ruin your seedling, so That's why I deliberately isolated you... As for the Second Prince forcing the palace, you also know that His Highness the Fifth Highness is interested in you. Your Majesty got the news from Jin Yiwei."

Han Qingming remained silent.

"Unexpectedly, His Majesty still took that step..." He shook his head, "I admire you, and you are the only one in this world who can compare with me. I haven't seen the defense of you by those young officials in the court today." ? They were found by me one by one.”

"After all, your official position is too low." Han Qingming said, "I think His Majesty may not have much time. The person who can be promoted to prime minister cannot be just a fourth-rank official. He is afraid of chaos after his death, so he has no choice but to choose me. "

"You don't have to comfort me," Zhou Di smiled wryly, "You are the one who beat me after all, and I'm still convinced." Then he turned and left.

Han Qingming continued to walk towards the palace gate, where a person had arrived early and stood aside, looking this way.

Han Qingming smiled and walked towards the man.

Yu Feizheng hugged the person who walked in front of him, scratched his nose lightly, and said, "You will be busy in the future."
