[Rebirth] Sovereign and ministers get along

The cotton-like snow fell all night, and the next morning it fell down again, turning into numerous snowflakes.

In the plum garden, red plums are in full bloom.

Woke up early in the morning and went to practice in the garden, looking at the patch of white dotted with sporadic red, I couldn't help but think of the scene in the spring of the fifth year of Ding'an, when I was moved, but I didn't know when Shen Lanqing was here to say goodbye before sending him to Longtan and Tiger's Den as an imperial envoy. Yue Yu thought about recruiting Shen Lanqing into the palace to enjoy the plum blossoms.

He only let him go back yesterday when he was getting close, and it was really not good to invite people over early in the morning. Besides, he also saw that Shen Lanqing was really tired yesterday, so he wanted to let him sleep for a while and wait a while After the children were gone, Xiaochao sent people to the Duke of Wei's mansion to announce that Shen Lanqing would enter the palace to have a meal and admire the plum blossoms.

He ordered the imperial dining room to prepare some refreshing side dishes that Shen Lanqing liked, and sent Gu Dongming to the Prince An's Mansion to search for a jar of 70-year-old daughter Hongwen.

Worried that Shen Shuo would preach to Shen Lanqing again after returning to the mansion, and thought in his heart that he would assign more errands to Shen Shuo later in the Xiaochao meeting, but he did not see Shen Shuo's shadow when he entered the imperial study.

After asking, I found out that Shen Shuo had sent someone early in the morning to report his personal leave.

Sitting on the throne, listening to Zhu Qing's performance, his right eyelid twitched, and he couldn't stop it even after pressing it several times.

Feeling inexplicably flustered, he took advantage of the situation, and just sent the voice transmission to tell Sword Demon to visit Shen Lanqing in Duke Wei's mansion, and by the way told him to enter the palace to enjoy the plum blossoms, when he heard someone arguing outside the imperial study.

Hearing the movement, he didn't know which palace maid it was.

The irritability in my heart suddenly found an outlet, but there was still no joy or anger on his face. He clasped his knuckles to stop the minister of the Ministry of Industry from babbling back, and Yue Yu told Gu Dongming in a cold voice: "Go out and see, who is making noise outside?" .”

Gu Dongming came out of the imperial study room, and he felt that something was wrong in his heart. He persuaded the guards who stopped him with a wooden face: "Who is the Tao? It turned out to be Qiu Shanggong..."

"Boss Gu, save yourself these polite words..." The queen is very strict, and she has been serving the queen since she was a child, and Qiu Yi has also developed a cautious temperament, but today she is uncharacteristically, before Gu Dongming can say a word After that, he interrupted his words, took a step forward, whispered a few words in a low voice almost close to Gu Dongming's ear, and then frowned, "The second prince has been crying to see his father, but he can't be coaxed. The Empress was really helpless, and she was afraid that the Second Prince would break his bones from crying, so I came here to ask the Emperor to come over, and I beg Manager Gu to deliver a message to the Emperor quickly, otherwise none of us can afford it if there is an accident."

Gu Dongming nodded slightly with a wooden face: "Qiu Shanggong, please go back to the empress to answer a message, please don't get angry with the empress, the miscellaneous family will go in and report this matter to the emperor, everything is up to the emperor."

Outside the hall, under the eyes of everyone, Gu Dongming was still calm, but when he entered the imperial study, he immediately quickened his pace, whispered to Yue Yu's ear, and whispered anxiously: "Master, Mr. Shen is afraid Something happened."

"Just now the Empress sent Qiu Yi over to pass on a message, saying that Mrs. Shen is weak, and that she might not be able to digest the Empress Dowager's tea. It is best to send an imperial doctor to Shen's residence to prescribe a prescription to help digestion."

Gu Dongming just finished reporting, and the sword ghost who hurried back added frost to the emperor's cold eyes: "Master, Master Xiao Shen is still asleep, and Lin Xixian is also helpless."

"Gu Dongming, order the Imperial Hospital, and all the imperial physicians will go to the Duke of Wei's Mansion immediately." Emperor Ding'an, who had always been calm and calm, suddenly changed his expression, and his face, which had never shown joy or anger in court meetings since childhood, suddenly dripped with gloom.

When the icy voice settled down, Yue Yu had already left the imperial study room amidst the sluggishness of the court officials, and disappeared in an instant.

This speed is actually not much slower than the elusive Yun Wuya who used to be.

Maybe it's because the road is familiar, or there is something pulling in the bottom of my heart.

The road idiot Yue Yu didn't get lost, and went straight to the Duke of Wei's mansion.

The vermilion walls and blue tiles are covered with plain white, the servants in green clothes are running quickly in the courtyard with their sleeves in their sleeves, the maidservants in emerald green clothes come in and out lightly with trays in their hands, everything is safe and orderly.

There was no panic, no mournful crying, Duke Wei's mansion was more quiet than before, so quiet that it made people panic.

Leaping off the wall, he touched the door of the study in the Guiyuan courtyard with a wooden face, and before he could push it open, a huge black sword suddenly stood in front of him and blocked his way.

Yue Yu paused, staring coldly at the man who was blocking the door: "Get out of the way."

The rough face was tense, and the eyes were full of heart-piercing coldness. Shen Yi stared at those angry eyes, and uttered a syllable coldly and firmly: "Get out."

Clenching his hands into fists in his black sleeves, he forced himself to suppress the surging anger in his chest, Yue Yu stared at Shen Yi's cold eyes, and repeated slowly: "Get out of the way."

The sword didn't move at all, and the monstrous sword intent directly replaced the words, wrapping towards Yue Yu with fury.

The black dragon robe was buzzing, Yue Yu stood still in front of the door, and calmly stated: "The battle of spirits will not help, and Jiusi will definitely not want to fight between you and me. Now, the only thing we can do is to hurry up." It is serious to treat Jiusi."

"Shen Yi, let him come in." A warm voice came from the inner room, Shen Yi stepped back half a step in response, his lips moved slightly, and switched to voice transmission, "If there is something wrong with him, I will let you be buried with him. "

Yue Yu lowered his eyes, raised the corners of his lips, and said in a low voice, "You don't need to do anything..."

"Jiu Si once promised me that he would never leave life or die, and I will never let him down."

"If he... really made a mistake this time, I will take this great mountain and thousands of miles of rivers and mountains to be buried for him."

After finishing speaking, he pushed aside the sword, opened the door and entered the study.

White unlined garment, big red brocade quilt.

Shen Lanqing was lying on the low kang, her phoenix eyes were tightly closed, and there was a smile on her lips. If it wasn't for the extra redness between her brows, Yue Yu might have thought that his Shen Qing was just drowning in a dream. then woke up.

His eyes were fixed on Shen Lanqing's face, he moved to the side of the kang, and slowly squeezed his five fingers together with his hands that were pressed on the brocade quilt, Yue Yu asked in a low voice to Shen Shuo who was sitting in the grand teacher's chair in front of the kang: "What did Lin Xixian say?"

"Your Majesty is the clearest in his heart..." Without respect, without warmth, what was hidden in the calm and unwavering eyes was only repeated coldness.

The Patriarch of the Shen family finally showed his hidden edge, looked directly at the emperor, and said slowly, "Why ask again."

Facing Shen Shuo, he couldn't pursue the so-called disrespect.

Holding Weiliang's hand tightly, Yue Yu raised his eyes, met Shen Shuo's sneering face, and said expressionlessly: "Master Shen, Jiusi Ligong was fashionable and well last night, but now it has suddenly become like this, My heart hurts too."

"Your Majesty, do you mean that Brother Lan is the poison in the Shen family?" Looking away from the intertwined hands, Shen Shuo asked nonchalantly, "Don't ask your Majesty, who in the Shen family has that share?" If you have the guts to harm Brother Lan, just ask Your Majesty, is the popularity in the court something that my Shen family can have?"

Tangshanghong, the medicine used by the heavenly family to give dead rebellious ministers and concubines, is colorless and tasteless, it will disappear when it comes to tea, and it will disappear when it comes to wine.

When the poison occurs, a blood mole will appear on the forehead, which will gradually become congested until it is broken and dyed red.

The blood mole is shattered, and the soul leaves the body.

After the poisoning occurs, the victim will gradually lose sensory perception in drowsiness, and go straight to the underworld in a dream without pain or fear.

Before, he only thought that this poison showed the kindness of the Tian family. At this time, Yue Yu was only thankful that this poison was not a throat-sealing poison that would kill him instantly. He still had seven days to find an antidote for Shen Lanqing.

It's just that the person who poisoned Shen Lanqing probably didn't think so. She chose to be popular because the poison had no solution.

She knew that Mr. Yun was always a thorn in her heart, but she never expected that she would attack Shen Lanqing so quickly and so decisively.

When he wanted to be gentle last night, he still swore that he would not hurt Shen Qing again. Today, Shen Qing drank the red wine given by his mother and stepfather, and his life was hanging by a thread.

Holding the long and thin hand, the fingertips trembled uncontrollably.

The throat suddenly became abnormally dry, as if using all his strength to fist his fingers, Yue Yu lowered his eyes and fixed his gaze on the bloody mole on Shen Qing's forehead: "I won't let him have trouble."

"Unless Your Majesty can find someone who prepared this poison..." The reason why Yue Yu was let in to see Shen Lanqing was for the antidote.

Although it has been rumored that there is no solution to the redness in the hall, Shen Shuo doesn't believe it, doesn't believe that the Yue family will allow the poison without solution to survive, let alone his brother Lan still can't escape the curse of untimely death, "Mr. Lin said that the poison is too It's too complicated and difficult to distinguish, and he can't do anything in a short period of time, and the only way out now is to find a person who dispenses the poison, so Brother Lan can have a chance of survival."

"Is it possible for Lin Xixian to delay the time when the blood mole shatters?"

"Three days."

"We will invite that person here within ten days, otherwise..."

There is no expression on the monarch's face all the time, and no one can know the unfinished meaning.

Leaning down, under Shen Shuo's icy, cone-like gaze, he touched the corner of his slightly raised lips, and said silently: "Wait for me."

Even if you have already set foot on the road to hell, you still have to wait for me.

Getting up, he left Shen's residence without looking back, and dispersed the imperial doctors who followed his orders before leaving.

In the seventh year of Ding'an, on the fourth day of the second lunar month, at the beginning of the morning, two letter eagles flew away from the capital with Emperor Ding'an's personal letter, one headed south and the other headed north.

In the seventh year of Ding'an, on the fourth day of February, at Chenzheng, two teams of sword guards left Beijing with a secret letter, one going south and the other going north.

In the seventh year of Ding'an, on the fourth day of February, at a quarter of an hour, Zhou Bodong, Marquis of Le Ning, made a disrespectful act in front of the imperial court, which aroused the rage of the emperor, and was taken into prison to await his punishment.

In the seventh year of Ding'an, on the fourth day of February, at noon, the second prince, Yue Rong, came home crying and became a prince named Kang.

In the seventh year of Ding'an, on the fifth day of February, Chouzheng, Emperor Ding'an got the first emperor's dream and woke up from the dream.

In the seventh year of Ding'an, on the fifth day of the second lunar month, at the beginning of the Yin Dynasty, the guard of Fuling rushed to play. Last night at the third quarter of the ugly hour, Shengzong appeared and gave the imperial letter.

In the seventh year of Ding'an, on the fifth day of February, at a quarter of a hour, the Empress Dowager Zhou was ordered by Shengzong to go to Fuling to pray for her companion.

In the seventh year of Ding'an, on the fifth day of February, the emperor issued an edict to stop the court, and Prince An, Yue Xun, acted in charge of the state affairs.

Since the fifth day of February, after seeing off the queen mother, Yue Yu has been staying in Shen Lanqing's sleepy inner study.

During the day, whispering to the sleeping people.

At night, I sleep with the Kang with the sleeping person in my arms.

The daily grooming, washing and dosing must be done by myself, and I will never pretend to be in the hands of others.

Shen Gengshi went into the study several times to visit, but all retreated silently.

Shen Shuo was disturbed by watching it, and seemed to be softened by it. After sitting in the inner study for two days, he went to the yamen to spend his vacation, and let my lord spend in his house to rob the maidservant and servant. took the position of daughter-in-law.

When he saw the marks on Shen Lanqing's ear and neck, he was angry at first. However, these few days, he watched the monarch get angry and troubled for his son, and saw the monarch who respected filial piety and worked diligently to rule the country. So, he abandoned the state affairs and stayed by the kang for a moment, no matter how much anger there was in his heart, it dissipated.

My son was willing, the monarch was willing, even the daughter-in-law who was married by the matchmaker in the family did not complain, but took the initiative to make room for the two to stay together.

What can he say as a father?

Instead of watching the monarch guard his son and say all the love words at home, it is better to go to the court to deal with political affairs as soon as possible.

Outside the dream, Yue Yu guarded the sleeping Shen Lanqing, never leaving her side.

In the dream, Shen Lanqing saw the Emperor Shizu who died in Ding'an in the 23rd year of Yue Shilu set up a hut in his Shen family's ancestral grave, guarding a tomb, working at sunrise and resting at sunset.

Following the hands that were wiping the tombstone, he could see clearly that the engraved position on the tombstone was the 32nd Zhongyi doctor of Huifengtang, Shao Zhan Shishi, a bachelor, Kao Lanqing, Junjia City, Shenfu. 【Note 1】

That is to say, in the previous life, after my lord feigned death and left the court, he lived in seclusion in his Shen family's ancestral grave, and built a thatched hut next to his tomb to guard his tomb...

In my heart, in the end, he has surpassed the world.

A tear fell down the corner of the middle eye, and was dripping on the monarch's fingertips.

Sending those tears into the mouth, it was unusually salty, but he was inexplicably relieved.

Holding her arms tightly, touching the corners of her lips that seemed to be crying and smiling over and over again, Yue Yu whispered in Shen Lanqing's ear: "It's good to be able to cry, it means that my Shen Qing is still safe in the dream."

"Shen Qing promised that I will never leave you forever, so you have to wait for Mr. Bai to detoxify you."

In the seventh year of Ding'an, on February [-]th, at dusk.

Wearing a bright red brocade robe, Prince Yi galloped into Beijing with his concubine, heading straight for Duke Wei's mansion.

Dismounting from the horse and entering the mansion, seeing the people in the study in Gui Yuan, Prince Yi, Yue Yun kicked on the leg of the Supreme Emperor Yue Yun who was sitting in the grand teacher's chair: "The crime you committed was found on the younger generation. , if there is something wrong with my apprentice, see if I have any trouble with you!"

Without changing his face, he flicked off the footprints on his robe, Yue Hao didn't even look at Yue Yun, but looked directly at Bai Changsi, the white-haired man who came with Yue Yun: "Little ears, let's see if Shen Lanqing can be saved?"

"Don't worry, the antidote has been prepared and brought here..." Bai Changsi stretched out his hand and dragged Yue Yun, who was looking down, and dragged him to the side of the kang, "Don't just take the opportunity to bully the little mouse, there is hope." Xian is here to watch, Lan Qing will be fine."

"..."

He glanced at Yue Hao displeasedly, Ren Baichang wanted to feel Shen Lanqing's pulse, Yue Yun whispered to Yue Yu who was standing by with a sullen face, "What good is being the emperor? Not only failed to protect Shen Lanqing, but also tired him repeatedly. If you are injured, how about giving the throne to Prince Yi as soon as possible, so that your father can come back and continue to be his emperor?"

"..." His expression loosened slightly, and Yue Yu responded in a hoarse voice, "I want Zen, but if Zen is given to Prince Yi, you are not afraid that the father will directly throw this mess to you, so I will go with Mr. Yun." Wander around the world and never show up again?"

"That's a good idea." Yun Wuya, who cherishes words like gold, nodded abruptly, and looked at Yue Yu, "After Shen Lan's detoxification is cured, you can issue an edict."

Yue Yu glanced at Yue Hao who didn't say a word, and lowered his eyes.

Bai Changsi turned around, with impatient brows and eyes: "Get out and discuss."

Yue Yun, Yue Hao, and Yun Wuya all dared not offend Bai Changsi who was refining medicine with the pulse doctor, and they all flashed out of the inner study at the fastest speed when they received an unceremonious expulsion order.

Shen Shuo and Shen Rui looked at each other, and they both said please to Bai Changsi, and went outside to wait.

Yue Yu stayed where he was, refusing to go out, and Bai Changsi sprinkled itchy powder all over his body.

In the end, only Lin Xixian was left in the inner study to help him.

Bai Changsi and Lin Xixian had been busy in the inner study for nearly three hours, until the ugly moment, when they opened the door of the study with a tired face: "The poison is gone, the rest is recuperation."

Yue Yu, who rushed into the inner room, turned back in a moment, grabbed Bai Changsi's arm, and asked, "Uncle Bai, when will Jiu Si wake up?"

"Tomorrow morning." Bai Changsi squinted at Yue Yu who flashed back to the inner room in a blink of an eye, poked Shen Yi's eyebrows, and rebuked, "You stupid boy only knows how to treat Lan Qing well." , I don’t live up to it at all, otherwise Lan Qing wouldn’t have to suffer these crimes!”

"..." Shen Yi pursed his lips, bowing his head to be taught.

Shen Shuo bowed to thank him with rather complicated feelings: "Sir, the grace of saving life is beyond heaven, and I will be honored by Shuo."

Bai Changsi hopped aside: "Farewell! Let's not talk about the relationship between Lan Qing and that kid Yue Yu. I grew up Lan Qing as a son, and Shen Rui became the new head teacher of Xuantian Sect. Here we are all one family, Mr. Shen doesn’t need to see outsiders, if you feel really sorry and don’t want to buy me some good wine as a thank you gift, that’s fine.”

"Mr. Bai, if you like good wine, let Shen Yi take you to pick it from the wine cellar tomorrow..." Shen Shuo stood up straight, glanced at the people who were sitting or standing, and finally set his eyes on the Supreme Emperor Yue Hao. , Invite him neither humble nor overbearing, "There are wine and food in the front hall, do you want to use some?"

Yue Hao got up to accept the invitation: "I haven't had a drink with He Yi for a long time."

On weekdays, he was often instigated by his master, Mr. Bai, the Supreme Emperor, and Na Yun Wuya. Shen Yimu resigned to Shen Shuo with a straight face, using Lin Xixian as a cover, and the two returned to Wutong Courtyard together.

At the banquet in the front hall, after Bai Changsi had eaten and drank enough, Prince Yi and his family, Bai Changsi, dragged Shen Rui to Lan Yuan to stay.

Yun Wuya, who had been drinking by himself from beginning to end, glanced at Yue Hao, got up, carried the wine jar and went out to the roof, leaving the space for Shen Shuo and Yue Hao.

The banquet was held until dawn.

It was night, no one knew what Yue Hao and Shen Shuo, the former monarchs and ministers, had talked about.

In the seventh year of Ding'an, on February [-]th, Shen Lanqing, the eldest grandson of Shen Shangkun, Duke of Wei, who had been seriously ill after returning from the customs and had not appeared in front of people, died, and the whole family mourned.

Ding'an Emperor Yue Yu stopped court for three days to express his condolences, and bestowed him the posthumous title of Zhongwu.

In the seventh year of Ding'an, on the first day of May, Emperor Ding'an ordered Chan to be located in Prince Yuezheng, King Jing Yuecan was regent, and academicians Geng Liangshen and Shen Shuo assisted the government.

Ding'an seven years, August 24.

Kunlun Mountain, the back mountain of Xuantianjiao, in front of the new bamboo building, under the blooming osmanthus tree.

The man with a smile on his face was wearing plain white single clothes, his black hair was partly pulled up, he burned incense with clean hands, and played a song "Phoenix Qiuhuang" while playing a qin.

On the bamboo building, the man in the black shirt leaned on the railing with his arms around his chest, closed his eyes and listened, the corners of his lips curled up slightly, adding a bit of softness to the sharp and cold eyebrows and eyes.

At the end of the song, the man in Xuanyi raised his eyelids and looked downstairs: "Jiusi, the piano art is getting more and more exquisite."

Shen Lanqing raised her eyes and raised her eyebrows, with a half-smile: "Your Majesty, with your level of five tones and four tones, can you really hear it?"

"As far as I'm concerned, the lady's performance is the best." Yue Yu looked at the looming red mark on Shen Lanqing's neck in a leisurely manner, and smiled ambiguously, "It's still early, lady, come up and eat something, let's go on." Go back to sleep, how about it?"

Shen Lanqing didn't comment, got up slowly, touched the ground with her toes, jumped up the bamboo building, pinned the flower branch she folded easily on the bun on Yue Yu's head, and entered the inner room with a chuckle.

The breeze passes through the bamboo building and blows over the branches.

Scattered sweet-scented osmanthus wrapped in faint whispers and falling, just embellished with the scorched marks on the tail of the piano under the tree.

Theend.

Broken thoughts:
