The king is not the king, the minister is not the minister

The bright moon is in the sky, and the ground is full of silver frost.

Yu Zhuo rubbed the center of his brows unhurriedly, the memory that had been suppressed for a long time came to his mind unexpectedly, but it was extremely blurred.He doesn't remember, it's usually for self-protection.

But the dusty figure that has been covered for a long time is still lingering.

Vaguely, Yu Zhuo recalled someone saying: "Lian'er is not as cruel-hearted as his elder brother and those cities, but what is right or wrong, Lian'er is clear in his heart. It is a long way to go north. I only hope that my elder brother will gain fame and seek success in the world. "

The choked up voice almost made his heart tremble.

Xia Yubing brought supper, and Yu Zhuo realized that he had been staring at the moonlight and bamboo shadows outside the window for a long time.

"My lord, you really look like an immortal." Xia Yubing's face was full of envy and admiration, and then he said with a bit of embarrassment, "The little one doesn't know a few big characters, and his mouth is stupid."

After pouring himself a cup of tea, Yu Zhuo restrained himself and wanted to tease him more and more. "Okay, tell me, what should a fairy be like?"

"It must be good-looking, dressed in white, flying around, not eating, drinking, and messing around." Xia Yubing said with blinking eyes.

After hearing this, Yu Zhuo took a folding fan and tapped on his palm a few times, and asked, "Aren't you joking? I heard it. Why do you look like a female ghost?"

"This..." Xia Yubing could only cry with a sad face, unable to tell the difference between the two.

I didn't know that his words touched Yu Zhuo's mind again. The latter sighed lightly, stuffed a piece of pastry into his mouth, and said, "It's a fairy or a ghost, it's just a thought. Outside of heaven and earth, the saint Don't say anything, save a few words in the future."

Lowering his head, Xia Yubing said in a muffled voice, remember.But I thought in my heart, isn't the one who likes to pretend to be gods and ghosts the most, is his family's Zuoxiang lord.

Within a few days, news came out from the palace: The Empress Dowager Yan was ill, and she ordered her wife to attend to her sickness.

When going to the imperial study, Xia Houzhan took Yu Zhuo to Chengluan Palace to see the Queen Mother Yan, but saw that she had a thin face and gray hair.He couldn't help asking: "Your Majesty, what's wrong with the Empress Dowager?"

Xia Houzhan's eyes flickered, he hesitated for a long time and said: "You don't care about her, it's okay."

The words were so strange that Yu Zhuo wanted to continue asking. The two wives of the servants got the news and hurried over to ask for orders.In this dynasty, there are only three wives, namely Zhou Xi's official wife Zhou Zhang, Wang Lian's official wife Wang Ling, and Su Qing's late wife.

"See Your Majesty, Long Live Your Majesty." Both of them were over forty years old, and among them Wang Ling could be regarded as Xia Houzhan's mother-in-law, so Xia Houzhan also treated each other with courtesy.

"The two wives step down first, and I have something to say to my mother."

"Here."

After the people left, Yu Zhuo hurriedly dispatched the rest of the court ladies, leaving Hua Zhu and Leng Yue, the dowry maids of Empress Dowager Yan's natal family.The two aunts served tea.

"Hengqing read this secret letter first."

The person who wrote the letter was Qi Ruo. Yu Zhuo opened the envelope, browsed through it quickly, frowned, and asked, "Your Majesty, we haven't received any news from the court."

"During the previous dynasty, the salt owls were already extremely rampant, so I sent Qi Ruo to investigate, but I didn't expect this to happen." Xia Houzhan threw the letter on the table and ordered Leng Yue to burn it.

Big salt merchants colluded with local officials to raise salt imports and salt taxes.The price of official salt water has risen, so there will be a large number of people selling illegal salt.It wasn't so serious in the past, but after Wang Lian's son was taken to the Suzhou government, the tax was raised again, so the conflict intensified.

"I want to move Wang Lian."

To Xia Houzhan, the kinship of his grandfather is of great significance.He didn't know who his father was since he was a child, and his mother was a monk. He was raised by his grandparents and uncles.In the past, the late emperor made Xia Houzhan his son, in exchange for the orders of his grandfather's family.

"But, I can't let Qi'er and Lin'er..."

Yu Zhuo said: "Your Majesty, they are only two years old. Naturally, they will not be divorced from His Majesty because of their grandfather's family, which has lost their memory since childhood. It will not change the status of the two princes if they move the royal family."

"The Ai family has already said that Mo Feng Wang will be the queen, did the emperor listen to the Ai family?" The Queen Mother Yan's voice was full of anger, which did not seem to be seriously ill.

Seeing the doubt in his eyes, Xia Houzhan replied, "What the empress means is to keep the two imperial wives in the palace."

In many matters in the court, it is difficult for the head of the family to come forward, so the wife and the family need to move around.Over time, there will be more flaws.Besides, the fact that the wife is here also feels like a hostage.

Leng Yue put on clothes for the Empress Dowager, who sat up and said, "Lord Zuo Xiang, I heard that you are often stayed in the palace overnight by the emperor?"

Where is this coming from?Yu Zhuo hurriedly saluted, turned his back to Queen Mother Yan, and said: "I often discuss state affairs with Your Majesty until late at night, so I have to stay in the palace."

Seeing that Empress Dowager Yan wanted to come to the round table, Xia Houzhan quickly stood in front of her and said, "It's not good if someone else sees it, Empress Dowager!"

After all, she is the mother of the country, and it would be really rude to appear in front of the courtiers in such a dress.

"Zhan'er."

Xia Houzhan's brows and eyes suddenly became sharp, and he pressed the Empress Dowager Yan's shoulders, saying each word: "Mother, you go back." Leng Yue hurried up to help the Empress Dowager Yan back.

"Go to the main hall and let the queen mother rest for a while." Xia Houzhan was full of anger for some reason, grabbed Yu Zhuo's arm and walked away. The strength was so great that he felt a little pain.

After leaving the bedroom, Xia Houzhan said, "Hengqing, I want to give you a marriage."

"...Does Your Majesty have a suitable candidate?" Yu Zhuo asked with a smile.

Xia Houzhan remembered that the concubine that the Empress Dowager Yan planned to choose for him seemed to be the eldest lady of the Jiang family, so he said, "Miss Jiang, if you admire the second lady, you can also accept her as a noble concubine."

"Your Majesty, can you let go?" Yu Zhuo asked.

"So you agree." Xia Houzhan used an affirmative tone, and immediately withdrew his hand, not allowing Yu Zhuo to question it, and called Eunuch Zhao to drive back to the imperial study.

Along the way, Yu Zhuo didn't understand what happened.

Let Eunuch Zhao go to stay outside, and Yu Zhuo personally grinds for Xia Houzhan, waiting for the emperor to give him an explanation, who would have expected him to finish writing the imperial edict in one go, leaving a time to be determined.

"Your Majesty, this is too sudden. I have never met Miss Jiang's family before..."

"Parents' order, matchmaker's words, since Hengqing's parents are not here, let me listen to my matchmaker." Xia Houzhan pointed to the blank space and asked, "Hengqing knows astronomy at the top and geography at the bottom, so I can count an auspicious time for myself." Bar."

After a little perception, Su Shixue was not there.

Grabbing the imperial decree in his hand, Yu Zhuo threw it aside, grabbed his hem, and said: "Your Majesty, I advise you not to go too far. It is not up to others to dictate your marriage."

What is gentle as jade, what is elegant and regular, Xia Houzhan can only see Ling Ran's chill in his eyes.

"Hengqing, you want to rebel—"

Yu Zhuo withdrew his hand abruptly, took a few steps back, and his face became pale. Xia Houzhan's anger had not yet risen, and he fell straight to the ground, unconscious.

"Prince Xuan, hurry up! Physician Xuan." Looking at his expression, Xia Houzhan completely forgot what he had done before.

Yu Zhuo slept for a day and a night. After hearing this, Queen Mother Yan wanted to visit several times, but Xia Houzhan sent someone to confine her in Chengluan Palace.

At nightfall on the second day, Xia Houzhan walked to the side hall and happened to run into Doctor Xiao.

"What happened to Zuo Xiang?"

Imperial Physician Xiao informed: "The old illness has recurred. Mr. Zuo Xiang once suffered a serious head injury, which probably happened six or seven years ago, but there is no serious problem at present, and he has woken up."

"Get back." Xia Houzhan drove away the people in the side hall and sat on the edge of the bed. Yu Zhuo blinked when he saw him, looking pitiful.

"Your Majesty, I know that I have sinned deeply, and I have hurt Your Majesty before." Yu Zhuo went to pull his lapel as he spoke, Xia Houzhan stood up abruptly and backed away, with anger in his eyes.

Yu Zhuo quickly withdrew his hand, and the two stalemate for a moment, Xia Houzhan asked first: "I will give you a marriage, are you willing?"

"Your Majesty, I want to go to the south of the Yangtze River. I can try my best to finish the case of the Yan Xiao." Yu Zhuo stood up and said, "After all, the queen mother is suffering from illness. I'm afraid it's not appropriate for Your Majesty to grant a marriage at this time."

"Congratulations."

The head hurts again.It was only now that Yu Zhuo realized that sometimes it was really difficult for him to control himself, and now that Xia Houzhan insisted on doing so, he had to use some extraordinary means.

The internal force is like a rainbow, and it is lifted up, and the teacup and medicine bowl on the table in the distance suddenly shattered.
