I am a ruler in troubled times

The person standing outside the carriage was indeed a person Song Peiyu had no impression of. He said "Follow me" to Song Peiyu, turned around and walked forward, not at all worried whether Song Peiyu would follow.

Song Peiyu looked around and recognized that this was within the scope of the inner palace, that is, the barren area between Qinzheng Hall and Liangyi Palace.

The person who had turned around and walked forward was wearing a brown robe. From the clothes alone, he couldn't tell what his identity was. He could only guess from his lush beard that he was not a eunuch.

Song Peiyu took advantage of the situation and sat down, stretched out his hand to hold the rein that fell to the side, and kicked the horse's buttocks.

The horse suffered from pain, let out a long cry of dissatisfaction, and ran at a very irritable rhythm.

He didn't hear Song Peiyu's footsteps, Hao Shi, whose pace had already slowed down, suddenly turned his head, and what he saw was the frame of the car running forward frantically trembling.

After a while, Hao Shi stopped in front of Song Peiyu again, tightly gripped the reins of the horse, and fixed his eyes on Song Peiyu.

Song Peiyu rubbed the bruise on his right hand from being drawn by the rein, and said innocently, "The horse suddenly went crazy after being frightened, thanks to your help, otherwise I..."

"Otherwise, you will hit the wall with your horse and man." Hao Shi interrupted Song Peiyu helplessly, turned his head to look at the snorting maroon horse, his eyes were full of pity, "You may not have something to do, but this horse It would be a pity."

Song Peiyu was speechless, he didn't expect that the horse would become more and more crazy, well, he didn't expect that he could drive the horse crazy in a short period of time.

Out of the corner of his eye, Hao Shi caught a glimpse of Song Peiyu's agility and felt a headache. He took out a sign from his pocket and held it in front of Song Peiyu, and said with a half-smile, "Let's go, it's rare that the person who summoned you is free. If you miss the time, you Today I really want to stay in the palace."

Song Peiyu made a very surprised expression on the surface, but she was not surprised in her heart.

In contrast, Song Peiyu was more curious about the identity of the person in front of him.

Dark guard?

Or was it just a guard he hadn't seen?

After all, the carriage was temporarily abandoned in the inner palace. Hao Shi led Song Peiyu through the deep palace, turning left and right, and returned to Qinzheng Hall not far away. An eye-catching little door.

Song Peiyu tried to find out Hao Shi's identity during the period, but unfortunately no matter how many ideas he had, Song Peiyu had nothing to do with him as long as the other party refused to answer.

"Eunuch Meng is waiting for you inside, and he will take you to see His Majesty." Hao Shi pointed to an inconspicuous room expressionlessly, motioning for Song Peiyu to go in by himself.

Until Song Peiyu's back disappeared into the doorway, Hao Shi could no longer hold back the indifference on his face, a smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth, humming an unknown tune and walked in another direction.

No wonder Song Jinyu can keep talking about it all the time, it really is an interesting kitten, but his temper is too wild.

It's not that he doesn't want to frighten people under His Majesty's order, but when he looks at Song Peiyu's face, he thinks of the tragic experience of being cheated by Song Jinyu. .

Presumably His Majesty can appreciate his difficulties.

Eunuch Meng's attitude towards Song Peiyu was the same as before, but he didn't give Song Peiyu a chance to ask questions, and he took Song Peiyu directly to the side hall of Qinzheng Hall along a very hidden road.

"Shao Yin, go in." Eunuch Meng smiled and opened the door for Song Peiyu himself, "Don't be afraid, His Majesty just wants to chat with you alone, there is no other meaning."

Song Peiyu didn't believe Eunuch Meng's words.

Emperor Yonghe wanted to summon him, all he had to do was ask Eunuch Meng to go to the East Palace to deliver a message, but he insisted on going around such a big circle, and made it mysterious, obviously to intimidate him.

In his panic, he subconsciously thought that Emperor Yonghe went around such a large circle to summon him to avoid his brother and Chong Yi, and felt that he was going to be dealt with.

In fact, if Emperor Yonghe really wanted to deal with him, it would only be a matter of one sentence, why bother to make other redundant preparations?It's not to delay the storytelling time and water the plot.

Song Peiyu shook her head, shaking out all kinds of inappropriate bloody plots that appeared in it, and calmly walked into the Palace of Qinzheng.

"Your Majesty, send your respects." Song Peiyu bent down to salute, and before waiting for a response, she stood there quietly, waiting quietly for Emperor Yonghe to finish processing the paperwork in his hand.

After a long time, Emperor Yonghe put down his pen, as if he had just discovered Song Peiyu, he waved to Song Peiyu, "Come on"

Song Peiyu stopped three steps away from Emperor Yonghe, and his eyes fell on the teacup. He would not offend Emperor Yonghe and he could see all the movements of Emperor Yonghe.

"Why are you so restrained?" Emperor Yonghe laughed suddenly, pointing to the chair beside the table and said, "Sit down, let's talk casually."

Song Peiyu did as she said, but her face was always tense, not as calm as before.

Emperor Yonghe seemed to find Song Peiyu's rare appearance very interesting, so he looked at it a few more times, and handed Song Peiyu a stack of memorials that were left alone on the table, and said in a tone that could not tell whether he was happy or angry, "I feel a headache from reading the memorials, come here Help me read for a while."

Naturally, Song Peiyu would not make herself uncomfortable with unruly nonsense. After receiving the memorial respectfully, she began to read it in a serious manner.

Coincidentally, it is the memorial of the magistrate of Yang County.

After all, the State of Zhao has only one state. Although it is called a state, except for Xianyang, there are only counties and towns without a state capital.

Therefore, the memorial of the county magistrate of Yang County can directly go to the imperial case of Emperor Yonghe.

It said it was asking for An Zuzi, but the content was mixed with the spring farming in Yang County, not to mention Emperor Yonghe, even Song Peiyu, who was only responsible for reading the memorial, felt a headache.

A total of more than 20 pages of the memorial, first three or five pages of sincere greetings to Emperor Yonghe, then half a page of business affairs, followed by seven and a half pages of chapters used to cite the classics to shoot Yonghe Emperor's dragon fart, and without warning there are two Three sentences is business... and finally end with flattery.

Song Peiyu didn't think his memory was bad, but after reading this note, he wasn't sure if he had written down all the important things.

Raising her eyelids, seeing that Emperor Yonghe was still leaning on the chair with half-closed eyes, Song Peiyu put the finished memorial on the other side and picked up the second memorial.

It's still the memorial from Yang County, this time from the commander of Yang County.

It can be seen that the contents of this memorial were all completed by the commander of Yang County himself, and no ghostwriter was invited.Not only are there typos, but even the quotations from the classics can connect hundreds of classics together for no reason.

Unexpectedly, the commander still wanted to compare with the county magistrate of Yang County, and he refused to admit defeat even though he had run out of ink in his stomach. In the end, he even copied an ancient text saying that he would share the reward with Emperor Yonghe.

Putting down the second memorial, Song Peiyu let out a calm breath before going to get the third memorial.

"Chen Hezuo at the censor's censor, Song Peiyu, the companion of the East Palace, deceived His Highness, controlled the East Palace, and repeatedly committed unrighteous things in the name of the East Palace. There are eight crimes, all of which are solidly proved. Your Majesty, please investigate clearly."

Song Peiyu secretly said, "Here we come", and stopped right here, looking up at Emperor Yonghe's face.

If you let him read those greetings, he will go crazy.

Did not get a response from Emperor Yonghe, Song Peiyu showed a embarrassed look, and waited for a while before continuing to read the scriptures in his hand, his voice was no longer loud when he read the scriptures for An, but his pronunciation was very clear.

The person who wrote the booklet first listed eight crimes that seemed shocking at first, and then presented evidence one by one, including but not limited to, the gift crown given to the Countess of the Lu family by the East Palace when Song Jingming made the order, The jade unicorn paperweight given to Cheng Engong during the festival, and the servants of the East Palace humiliated the court officials and their families under Song Peiyu's instructions... In the end, even Chongyi's slack in government affairs was attributed to Song Peiyu.

Putting the closed memorial on top of the two greetings, Song Peiyu's grievances were very real.

If he is really as lawless as impeached in the memorial, the first thing he will do is to use a small leather whip to urge Chongyi to make progress.

Emperor Yonghe opened his eyes at some point, and looked at Song Peiyu with burning eyes, "How do you explain the contents of the memorial to impeach you?"

Song Peiyu knelt on the ground and bent deeply, put her forehead on the back of her hand, ignored Emperor Yonghe's question and said instead, "As your Highness's companion, I am loyal to His Highness, please Your Majesty's lesson."

Emperor Yonghe took the memorial of the impeachment of Song Peiyu in his hand and opened it, and asked from the first article, "Do you have the account books of the private treasury of the East Palace?"

"The account book is not in the hands of the minister, but is kept by Eunuch An. If there is a happy event at the minister's home, if there is a reward from the East Palace, it will be drawn up by the minister first." Song Peiyu understood that the East Palace had no secrets in front of Emperor Yonghe, and had no intention of lying from the beginning.

Emperor Yonghe said 'hmm', continued to look down, and asked, "The jade unicorn paperweight rewarded to the Luo Mansion was also drawn up by you?"

"Yes" Song Peiyu replied.

"What's the meaning of this? Where did you hear the gossip?" The memorial hit Song Peiyu's back and rolled to the side. Emperor Yonghe was suddenly furious, "Do you know that the eldest girl wants to die because of this matter? Didn’t live well? Lao Taishan came to Qinzheng Hall and knelt at my feet crying, asking if I wanted to force his granddaughter to death.”

Song Peiyu picked up Gunyuan's memorial, raised it over his head and handed it to Emperor Yonghe, avoiding Emperor Yonghe's questioning, and told Emperor Yonghe what he heard Luo Yong say to Chong Yi that day, and then said, "I see that Cheng Enhou's mansion is so embarrassing. Your Highness, I was upset and only wanted to vent my anger for His Highness, so I didn't take into account the feelings of His Majesty and His Highness King Su, so I decided to go to King Su's mansion to plead guilty in the future."

Emperor Yonghe touched the corner of his mouth, and Song Peiyu almost laughed angrily.

This is an admission that the Jade Qilin paperweight was specially given to Chongzong and the eldest daughter of the Luo family.But he attributed the suffering to him and King Su, and refused to admit that the Luo family was also the suffering.

Emperor Yonghe couldn't help but wonder if he had spent so much time before asking Song Peiyu to be brought to the inner palace before the Qinzheng Hall replied, was it a waste of time.

Although Xiaomao'er's face was not as natural as before when he entered the door, he did not lose his sense of control. He said everything, but it was still not enough heat.

He was about to pick up the booklet picked up by Song Peiyu and continue to question him, but his eyes were attracted by Song Peiyu's exposed wrist because he was holding the memorial book, and there was an undisguised surprise on his face.

A string of loose sapphires hung on Bai Bai's wrists, but Song Peiyu was so thin that only one layer of sapphires was exposed, and the rest was hidden in her sleeves.

Only this layer is enough, even without seeing the sapphire brand on it, Emperor Yonghe knew that it was Chongyi's string of sapphires.

Emperor Yonghe was in a daze for a long time, and when he recovered, he found that Song Peiyu's hand holding the memorial was trembling.

He stretched out his hand to hold Song Peiyu's arm, and put away all the emotions that were released unconsciously, "Get up, sit down and talk to me. I didn't expect you to be so useless. Your martial arts teachers are not willing to pay attention."

Song Peiyu stood up following the strength of Emperor Yonghe's pulling him, not understanding why Emperor Yonghe suddenly changed his attitude, because he had to be distracted to re-guess Emperor Yonghe's intentions, his expression was inevitably a little stiff.

"I called you here originally to remind you not to get too complacent and be targeted by people with ulterior motives in the court. It is the Suzaku that the future monarch cannot afford to lose, but they are very happy to get rid of a person who is extremely intelligent and born, and is also concerned about the future." The monarch influences a lot of people." Emperor Yonghe saw Song Peiyu's expression change in his eyes, his eyes showed a kindness that he had never seen before, and said in a gentle voice, "But after thinking about it, Suzaku's temper is already dull enough, you just show it off. It's great to complement him. Even if you don't notice and make a mistake, Zhenyu and Jinyu can protect you."

Song Peiyu's mood became more complicated, and Emperor Yonghe actually promised to support him.

Ever since she started to stand behind Chongyi, Song Peiyu consciously did some outrageous things, waiting for Emperor Yonghe's reprimand and instruction.

Out of subtle sensitivity, Song Peiyu felt that since he wanted to change Chong Yi, or influence Chong Yi at key points.First of all, he wants Chong Yi to feel that he can be trusted.

The most important thing is that he wants Chong Yi to feel that even if it is between Emperor Yonghe and Chong Yi, he will stand on Chong Yi's side without hesitation.

This is difficult, and if you fail, you will lift a rock and shoot yourself in the foot.

Song Peiyu chose a simpler way. He worked for Chongyi and was punished and reprimanded by Emperor Yonghe, and then went to Chongyi to sell miserably.

Moreover, Song Peiyu felt that Emperor Yonghe would not want someone who had a deep influence on Chong Yi to have a watertight character.

So after getting Chongyi's sapphire skewers, Song Peiyu not only didn't hold back, but after offending Cheng Enhou's mansion, he attacked Liangyi Palace again.

He was sure that Emperor Yonghe would protect him, and he would punish him slightly for those who were offended by him.But as long as Chongyi needs him, Emperor Yonghe will not let him leave the East Palace.

But Song Peiyu never expected that after he provoked a lot of people in the name of the East Palace, Emperor Yonghe said to him 'this is very good'?

If he hadn't been very sober and knew that there was nothing worthy of Emperor Yonghe's schemes in him, Song Peiyu would have wondered whether Emperor Yonghe wanted to coax him into fattening up and killing the New Year.

Emperor Yonghe was amused by Song Peiyu's increasingly stiff eyes, and felt more and more that Song Peiyu knew that he might be punished by him but still insisted on venting his anger on Chong Yi.

He was in a daze before, so he wanted to beat Song Peiyu to make Song Peiyu calm down, which almost broke the child's heart.

Thinking of this, Emperor Yonghe tore up the impeachment memorial of Song Peiyu into several sections in front of Song Peiyu, and patted Song Peiyu's thin shoulder with his big hand, "You did a good job, I will leave the East Palace and Suzaku to you with confidence. There is only one thing you have to keep in mind, I don't like Suzaku getting involved in any relationship with Mu's daughter, filial piety, let alone!"

Song Peiyu's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly put other thoughts aside, she should be serious.
