Before dawn, Liu Che had already got up. He was careful not to wake up Chen Ajiao, but just got up and asked the palace servants to help him get dressed. It was almost time to go to court, and someone had already boiled the medicine and brought it to him. He was afraid of the smell of the medicine. Chen Ajiao got smoked, and asked someone to take it outside.

"The empress is a little tired these days. Remember to let the imperial physician take a look. I'm afraid I'll give her a sickness. In addition, I also ask Bubu to make her healthy. Don't disturb her too much if there are troublesome things in the palace."

Liu Che took the medicine bowl and drank it all in one gulp, but he frowned deeply after drinking it. His mouth was full of bitterness, but luckily——again, good medicine tastes bitter.

When he left, he looked back at the Jiaofang Palace, and at this dawn, he was particularly nostalgic for this palace.

In the court hall, everyone was already waiting for Liu Che. The civil and military officials lined up on both sides. Liu Che had been ill for many days and the palace was strictly forbidden. Although the officials didn't say anything, they were always suspicious. It was too big to talk about the emperor's matter , That is the matter of the whole big man. If something happens to Liu Che, the matter involved will be serious.

Therefore, in the past few days, the whole of Chang'an can be said to be undercurrents, everyone is secretly planning, but after the news of Princess Pingyang and Wei Zifu in the palace, these people stopped for some reason. The matter of witchcraft was discovered, and the former "virtuous concubine" Wei Zifu in the palace was also implicated. After thinking about it, there must be something strange, but now that Liu Che has nothing to do, the officials began to think about Liu Che's illness. What the hell happened.

Could it be that Liu Che saw himself dying and wanted to clear the way for Liu Fuling to succeed him?

Princess Pingyang had a miscarriage first, and then she was accused of murder and witchcraft. Princess Pingyang killed Wei Qing's real sister. This matter will be complicated if you investigate it carefully. Anyway, all the officials have guessed. Well, as soon as the news of today's going to court comes out, everyone knows that these matters will soon come to a conclusion.

Liu Che sat down, and the officials saw the ceremony. As soon as he came, the ceremony officer had already read Liu Che's imperial edict.

The imperial edict confirmed the matter of Princess Pingyang, violated the laws of the Han Dynasty, and cursed the emperor with witchcraft, and committed suicide in the imperial prison. Well, it should be commended.

Ting Wei Zhang Tang, who governs the law with strict discipline, is selfless, upright and upright, is named Yushi Dafu and ranks among the three princes; Wei Qing has outstanding military exploits and is loyal to the king, and is named General Sima; the master father is resourceful and resourceful, and he is promoted to the guest; Xuan is promoted to Yushi Zhongcheng ; Yi Zong moved to be the captain of Hanoi County; Er Kuan left the internal history...

A series of personnel changes made everyone feel Liu Che's strength.

So all the ministers who were promoted to the ranks came out to thank them.

Zhang Tang has always had that lukewarm face, from Ting Wei, one of the nine ministers, to Doctor Yu Shi, one of the three lords, Zhang Tang is not very old, the three lords were all old men in the past, and now Zhang Tang— Seems too young.

It can be said that everyone looked at this edict.

Zhang Tang's methods are harsh and cruel, even the rest of the cruel officials sometimes feel terrified when they mention Zhang Tang, let alone other ministers. In addition, when Liu Che was seriously ill, he was the one who took care of Princess Pingyang himself. things, and Princess Pingyang died in the imperial prison - Liu Che promoted Zhang Tang, which means it is very obvious.

Being promoted to an official position meant that Liu Che felt that Zhang Tang had done a good job in this matter. Anyone with a little bit of insight would know that no matter whether Princess Pingyang was wronged or not, it was now "not wronged".

The first edict had silenced the entire court, but Liu Che then issued another edict.

"This time, I am sick and full of dangers. Fortunately, God blesses me. My illness is a disaster from heaven. I am deeply terrified, but also appreciate the kindness of God. Think carefully about my merits and demerits, let go of harshness, and preserve benevolence. , is the amnesty of the whole world. Minor offenders will be released, serious offenders will have their sentences reduced, and capital offenders will be allowed to live, all according to the old system."

Amnesty to the world!

This is not an important matter, but when Zhang Tang heard the news, his expression was different. He is already a doctor of imperial history at the moment, and it can be said that he is already an extremely human minister, not to mention that he has already occupied Liu Che's side. Even the legitimate prime minister, whose actual power cannot be compared with Zhang Tang.It stands to reason that there are few things that can make his ancient well-like heart sway, but it happened——when he heard the news, his eyes flickered for a moment.

Censor Zhongcheng is under the command of Doctor Censor. Juxuan used to work with Zhang Tang, but now he is under Zhang Tang. Although he has been promoted, he still feels uncomfortable. Zhang Tang's arch-enemy like An was also extremely uncomfortable, but the other side's Chief Shi Zhu Maichen didn't feel much at ease either.

Although the change in Zhang Tang's expression at this moment was only a little bit, it had already been caught by the declaration reduction.

Amnesty to the world...

Zhang Tang subconsciously guessed that there was another trick, so he listened quietly.

"Now that the imperial court is going to make some changes, the decree of favor should be implemented as soon as possible. The issue of restraining the powerful has been promulgated before, and it must not be relaxed. On the occasion of employing people, the counties and counties recommend talents, not sticking to one pattern. In the past, guilty officials After the amnesty, self-recommendation is also allowed, and there is no difference in employment. I also hope that all ministers will choose talents and talents to benefit the great man."

Liu Che said these words in a calm voice, he was aloof, but his voice spread throughout the entire court, and everyone's minds became more active. A large number of officials were hired, which represented that the entire court would soon be changed. changed.

Afterwards, the court began to discuss the implementation of the Tweet Order.

It's just that Zhang Tang didn't speak all the time, and the father behind him touched his chin, knowing that things were going to be difficult.

Others don't know, but Zhu Fuyan's calculations are very clear.

When the news of the amnesty of the previous dynasty reached the harem, Chen Ajiao was combing her hair in front of the makeup mirror. She put her hair up in a bun, put on the step shaker, and stretched out her hand to press it. When she heard the news from outside coming in, Chen Ajiao froze her fingers. But he hooked the step shaker, as if he thought it was not good-looking, so he pulled it off again.

"You said Your Majesty, amnesty the world?"

This word is very sensitive to A-Jiao Chen.

I remember that I once told Liu Che that I didn't want him to pardon the world because of Xiao Fusheng's birth—that was just an excuse.

After thinking for a long time, she put the swing back on her head again, "Let's go to the Royal Garden for a stroll."

Her purpose of going to the imperial garden was never pure.

In the past, she had to go through that section to get to the Xuanshi Hall, and she just sat at the gazebo, although this season is a bit inappropriate.

"Speaking of which, Mr. Zhang Tang has been promoted to Doctor Yushi, and many ministers who were originally in the Xuanshi Palace have been promoted."

Danbai brought up this matter again, she thought Chen Ajiao hadn't heard what she said before, after all, Chen Ajiao seemed to care about Zhang Tang on weekdays, she thought that Zhang Tang helped Chen Ajiao when Chen Ajiao feigned death and left the palace, logically speaking, Chen Ajiao Trusting Zhang Tang is a matter of course.

It's just that Chen Ajiao took two steps, but she lowered her head and smiled: "Sometimes, it's not a good thing for an official to be too high."

"Madam's words really speak to my heart." A lazy voice suddenly sounded from behind Chen Ajiao.

As soon as Chen Ajiao heard this voice, she knew it was Zhufuyan. She didn't want to turn her head, but saw Sang Hongyang standing with Zhufuyan. She remembered that Sang Hongyang hadn't been promoted this time, so he was barely a late bloomer. Zhu Maichen, who is in his seventies and eighties, will make a fortune again. Sang Hongyang has been a servant for more than ten years. Now the master father Yan has been promoted from a doctor to a guest, but he is still in the position of a servant. Although he is Liu Che's confidant, But in terms of face, it's still not very good.

This father, Yan, speaks without restraint, if he accidentally offends Sang Hongyang, then this person will suffer in the future.

"Master Father Yan, you duck mouth, you will never say anything good."

Chen Ajiao said this coldly, but turned her head and smiled at Sang Hongyang, "A person like Master Fuyan is likely to be unstable when he sees that his promotion is fast."

The father of the master stared, this man is an official fan, he was very happy to see that he was promoted quickly, but he was not happy when Chen Ajiao said this: "Your Highness, you mean that although I am promoted quickly, I will be promoted soon. Surely it will fall again?"

Chen Ajiao shook her head: "I never said that."

"But that's what you mean." Master Fuyan really didn't understand why Chen Ajiao had so little confidence in herself.

Sang Hongyang has long been used to his position as a servant, and he can bear the loneliness. He was one of the first group of people who followed Liu Che, but he is also the worst one now. His official position is the lowest. There is nothing out of the ordinary, leaning towards the mean, rigorous and self-restraining, not as strict and cold as Zhang Tang, not as impulsive and irritable as Guan Fu, and not as lively and humorous as Li Ling. Sang Hongyang sat in the same place , If you don't speak, you will definitely not be noticed.

He heard that Chen Ajiao was afraid that her father would offend him, but he was surprised, why did Chen Ajiao taboo such things?He was just a little waiter.It's just that Chen Ajiao's thought of carefully knowing him, a person who has not been promoted, moved Sang Hongyang quite a bit, "Your Highness, let's not talk about Mr. Zhu Fuyan, the officials will see that he will be promoted step by step."

"It's easy to get promoted, but I can't get promoted anywhere." Chen Ajiao admitted half a sentence, but looked at the stone path in front of the corner, "I have to go to Hancui Pavilion alone, and the two of you are afraid that you will have to go to Xuanshi Hall to discuss matters. Then we won't bother each other."

She took one more look at Zhufu Yan, and said: "I also ask Mr. Master to congratulate Mr. Zhang on his promotion to Doctor Yushi."

The master father Yan muttered, "It's not a marriage, so why congratulate me", the words were sour, which made Sang Hongyang feel a little funny, but seeing Chen Ajiao's sharp eyes suddenly, the master father Yan quickly laughed and said: "The next official said the wrong thing again, it should be hit—"

Chen Ajiao really felt that one day she would be pissed off by her father, so she sneered and said nothing.

Suddenly there was Guo Sheren calling Zhu Fuyan to let him go, but it was not in the same direction as Xuanshi Hall.He said: "Maybe it's a trivial matter, Brother Sang, don't go, I will come as soon as I go."

So only Sang Hongyang and Chen Ajiao were left in place.

Sang Hongyang finally looked directly at Chen Ajiao, met her peaceful and upright eyes, and for some reason reduced that kind of insidious speculation, but said gently: "I don't understand something."

"If you don't know, then you don't know." Chen Ajiao felt tired standing here, and she didn't want to wait here for the master's father to come back. The master's father looked funny, but in fact he was a very reliable person. He probably understood what he meant, so Chen Ajiao turned around. Turning around, he left behind a sentence, to be precise, a sentence addressed to Sang Hongyang, "There is a saying - the roc rises with the same wind in one day, and it soars up to ninety thousand miles."

Chen Ajiao left with the palace servants, turned around the stone path in front of her, and there was no trace left, only Sang Hongyang was left standing there, dressed in purple, chewing these words carefully.

On the same day, Dapeng rose from the wind and lifted up to 90,000 miles.

She said this to herself, but who is Dapeng, and what day is this "day"?

Sang Hongyang looked up at the sky, shook his head suddenly and smiled. He didn't really believe it at first, but for some reason he believed it again.

Ninety thousand miles away, Qingyun is going straight up, but it's a pity that he is still a small servant.

In Hancui Pavilion, Chen Ajiao cooked a pot of good tea and played a game of chess. When it was almost noon, the person she was waiting for arrived.

Zhang Tang has already put on a new uniform, the dark blue robe, the silver-blue edging pattern, and the crane cloak, which accentuate the power and power possessed by the important officials of the court, but Zhang Tang is still too thin, No matter how you look at it, it gives people a sharp feeling; it is too thick to describe this feeling with a blade; it is too thin to describe this feeling with a needle tip.Only a thorn, a thorn, is the most appropriate way to describe Zhang Tang.

He was like a thorn, a black thorn.

Zhang Tang is a thorn in the eyes of others, but also a thorn in his own heart.

There is no better word than that.

The thoughts in Chen Ajiao's heart sank, and she narrowed her eyes and said: "Master Zhang, please sit down, and replace the wine with tea. Congratulations to Master Zhang for being promoted to the rank of Doctor Censor, ranking among the three princes."

Zhang Tang sat down silently. After the discussion in Xuanshi Hall ended, the master father said to him Chen Ajiao's congratulations to him. As soon as he contacted him, he knew that she was looking for him, so after the matter was over, he left before others. But came here.

When Liu Che said in the morning that he wanted to amnesty the world, Zhang Tang knew that Chen Ajiao was coming to find him.

He held the tea Chen Ajiao handed to him with both hands, "Thank you, Your Highness."

"I heard that Your Majesty said that you are going to attack Hao Qiang?" Chen Ajiao raised her lips and asked in an unclear manner.

Zhang Tang replied: "I have been suppressing it all the time, but recently it seems—"

Needless to say, Chen Ajiao can guess the rest.

"Your Majesty doesn't seem to have many ruthless officials?" She asked another very strange question.

It's just that Zhang Tang knew it easily, after all, she still remembered what happened back then.

"Your Majesty is short of people to do things, so—"

"So it is very likely that Ning Cheng will be recalled." Chen Ajiao helped him complete the sentence, and then looked at Zhang Tang with a half-smile, "Ning Cheng himself is also a powerful man. When he comes back, you were his student. Do you want to let Xian, or Let the people who promoted you in the past live under you?"

Ning Cheng, Ruan Yue's father, Zhang Tang begged Chen Ajiao because of Ning Cheng.

This is the pimple in Chen Ajiao's heart, and it can be regarded as the only rift between her and Zhang Tang. It's just that Ning Cheng has the kindness of knowing Zhang Tang, so she can't say anything, but when it comes to Liu Che's employment at the moment, she has to say it.

It is not a lie to say that Chen Ajiao has prejudice against Ning Cheng, she does not hide her prejudice at all.

What Chen Ajiao just said was exactly what Zhang Tang thought.

"Your Majesty lacks people, Ning Cheng is a capable minister and a cruel official."

The word "cool official" came out of Zhang Tang's mouth, with a bit of strange irony.

"Ning's determination to become an official is not dead, he must ask you to recommend him, what should you do then?" Chen Ajiao always felt that Ning Cheng's existence was a disaster, and even Ruan Yue was the disaster among the disasters.

"Recommend as usual, it's all up to His Majesty, three lords and nine ministers, full of civil and military affairs, Zhang Tang's position, if he has the ability, he will take it away." It's not that Zhang Tang doesn't care about official positions, but that he doesn't mind people who are more capable than himself. In front of myself—of course, the premise is that this person agrees with my political views and has no conflict of interest.

"You are generous." Chen Ajiao wished she could pour a bowl of tea over him to see what Zhang Tang was thinking, "Forget it, since you are already prepared to compete with Ning Cheng, I don't need to worry about it. I just want to ask - Ruan Yue."

"It's already Ning Yue at this moment, but with His Royal Highness, Wei Zifu, Ping Yang and others can solve it, so there should be no worries about this matter." Zhang Tang said to Ruan Yue, who had changed her father's surname back to Ning Yue at this moment. , and feel nothing.

Speaking of it, Chen Ajiao really didn't have any feelings for Ning Yue, she just felt—"Gu just felt that the existence of such a person was disgusting."

This is the hidden danger Zhang Tang left for Chen Ajiao. He has no position to say anything now, he can only say: "Zhang Tang will try to handle this matter properly. In addition, His Majesty just mentioned that he will hold a birthday banquet for you."

Chen Ajiao was taken aback: "Birthday banquet?"

After she finished speaking, she just remembered, it seems... It's really time?

Chen Ajiao pressed her forehead, but smiled wryly: "Just playing tricks."

Zhang Tang drank tea and didn't speak for a long time. Chen Ajiao looked at the time, and finally said to Zhang Tang: "It's about to hit the day, Mr. Zhang will go back soon, but there is a sentence that must be sent to Mr. Zhang - the moon is full, you will lose. When the water is full, it will overflow, so be careful.”

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your reminder, Zhang Tang bids farewell."

She watched Zhang Tang leave, but only when she looked at the chessboard in front of her did she realize that it was messed up. "Left and right are just a game of chess, why should I be so serious? Go back to the palace."

It's just that Chen Ajiao didn't expect that when she returned to Jiaofang Hall, she found a bunch of palace people standing outside. She frowned, and when she entered the hall, she saw Liu Che frowning and drinking medicine.

"A-Jiao, it's just in time to come back, shall we have dinner together? I have something to discuss with you."

When Liu Che saw her, the frown that was frowned because of the bitterness of the medicine relaxed, and he quickly stood up and took her hand.

Chen Ajiao immediately remembered the birthday banquet that Zhang Tang said in the pavilion.
