After being robbed by the prince of the enemy country

The heavy snow did not stop for two days.

At the beginning of the warm sun, Chu Yun was about to leave the capital, and if he stayed for a long time, he would just helplessly watch Huai Zhen create trouble in his heart.

Chu Qingxu was reluctant to let him go, and personally sent him to the gate of the palace. Huaizhen was afraid that Chu Yun would take away his queen, so he also came to say goodbye in person.

"Brother-in-law, all states in Zhongqin welcome you at any time." Huaizhen found out about Chu Yun's itinerary early in the morning, and handed over a token with his own hands, "I have already informed the magistrate of Qizhou to welcome the distinguished guests. It is also possible. With this token, the officials of the states in Zhongqin will respect you as a nobleman."

It is much more sincere than Jinshan Yinshan.

Chu Yun glanced at his younger brother who was tightly held by Huai Jiugu, thinking that Huai Zhen had taken away the treasure of the Chu family, so he should show such sincerity, so he accepted the token and said to Chu Shao: " It has been three years since I have set foot in Nanqi...Qizhou, I feel a little timid because of being close to my hometown, I will go and see with my own eyes, whether Qizhou is really as you said, more prosperous and stable than when the Wei family was in power."

Chu Qingxu hasn't been back to Qizhou for more than a year, and he doesn't know how the situation there is now, "Brother can tell me what you see and hear in Qizhou in a letter."

"Of course, I will often write to you. If there are interesting things, I will send them to you, just like when I was a child."

Chu Yun saw his younger brother's eyes full of tenderness, and then glanced at the emperor, "Xiao Shao has suffered in the palace for three years. You should know that I don't want him to stay in this kind of place."

Huai Zhen immediately said: "Don't worry, brother, I will never let him suffer any grievances in this palace."

If this was said two days ago, Chu Yun would have thought that the dog emperor was farting, but in the past two days, the absurdity of Chu Shao's rioting in Yongning Palace has spread all over the capital.

To be honest, his own brother felt that Chu Shao was a little too much after hearing the details, and the people were even more heated, saying that the new emperor had adopted a jealous male queen, and the civil officials of the Manchu court did not know what to do about it. How much pressure did Zhen exert.

However, Huaizhen, like a normal person, silently protected Chu Shao from the previous court's verbal criticism. Once he returned to the harem, he still obeyed Chu Shao's orders, and treated him even more aggressively, making the civil servants call "the demon queen misleading the emperor" .

His blatant preference for Xiao Shao reassured Chu Yun a lot, so he rarely gave Huai Jiugu a good face, "I believe you have this ability, and I also believe that you have this heart, treat him well, otherwise I will be fine." Even in the north and south, I can rush back to the palace and break your legs."

Huaizhen felt his leg hurt in a daze!

Watching Chu Yun get into the carriage, Chu Shao reluctantly ran up to the Qin Palace tower to look at each other from a distance, until the shadow of the carriage was no longer visible, then his eyes retracted and fell on the prosperous streets of Kyoto.

Huai Zhen saw his longing for the outside of the palace, so he said: "If you want to go out of the palace, I can find a time to go out with you."

"Really?" The emperor can go out of the palace in disguise, but the empress does not have this freedom.

"Of course." Huai Zhen held Chu Shao's much rounder cheeks with his upper hand, the hand felt very good, and couldn't help rubbing, Chu Shao stared at him brightly, Huai Jiugu's heart softened into a puddle of water, "In a few days , the list of the top three in Qiu Wei has been finalized, and the number one scholar parade in the streets is very lively, I will take you to Yuhui Tower to see."

Yuhuilou is the most famous restaurant in Kyoto, and only high-ranking officials and dignitaries are not allowed to enter.

Chu Shao's mood improved, and he said with a smile, "Alright, on the day the imperial examinations are released, find someone to go to the list to catch a son-in-law, and find a good husband-in-law for Mingzi."

Although the Chu family in Suizhou was also part of Huaizhen's coaxing him back then, this family was sincerely kind to him and knew that they were just following orders. Thinking of doing this for her.

When the breeze blew, Chu Shao's forehead hair flew in front of his eyes, he brushed it casually, and joked with Huaizhen with a smile: "Don't you like bestowing marriages on others? Give Mingzi a good marriage too."

Speaking of bestowing a marriage, Huaizhen thought of the oolong that Chu Shao had mistakenly bestowed on Daiqin before. He saw that Chu Shao had a rare smile on his face, but he didn't know how much of this touching smile was ridiculing his ignorance back then.

Chu Qingxu still had the jade hairpin that Dai Qin gave her pinned in her hair, Huai Zhen dared not speak out.

"A marriage?!" Chu Mingzi, who was playing with the little rabbit in the courtyard of Qiwu Palace, was startled for a moment, and immediately blushed, "Okay, why did you bring this up all of a sudden?"

This rabbit was born from the combination of the male rabbit that Chu Shao gave her earlier and the female rabbit. There are six rabbits in one litter, two white ones, two black ones, and two black and white ones. students love.

When she came to the wedding banquet this time, she put it in a small basket and brought it into the palace to relieve Chu Shao's boredom.

Chu Shao took a white rabbit and rubbed it in his arms, "The top three will have to pass the imperial examination, then I will help you check it out, choose an upstart with both ability and political integrity, and let Huaizhen confer you the title of county lord, The next imperial decree to bestow marriage is to marry in a splendid manner."

On the bright side, Chu Shao is still the direct son of the Chu family in Suizhou, the Song family has already obtained the second-rank imperial order in his favor, and it is normal for Chu Mingzi, as the queen's "sister", to get a title.

Chu Mingzi glanced at Chu Qingxu, feeling somewhat guilty for some reason, after all, she and Chu Shao had no blood relationship at all except that they were both surnamed Chu.

She could also feel that Chu Shao had experienced all kinds of changes before, he seemed to be a different person, not as simple and stupid as before, and looking at Huai Zhen's change of attitude towards him, I am afraid that the lies of the Chu family before were exposed.

But Chu Shao didn't pierce the window paper, so Chu Mingzi followed him and pretended to be stupid.

The Chu family in Suizhou is only a local official of the fourth rank, and now they are honored by Chu Shao, and they have received both imperial orders and titles, which is really too much!

Chu Qingxu is so smart, he saw that Chu Mingzi was ashamed, so he coaxed her: "The imperial decree for bestowing titles has been drawn up, you just have to wait for me to list you a son-in-law."

Chu Mingzi put down the rabbit, sat across from Chu Shao, took a sip of warm tea before hesitatingly said, "Then...the top three can be decided? I wonder if there is a son named Song? Named Song Hao."

"Huh?" Chu Shao noticed something and laughed out loud, "So you already have someone you like?"

Chu Mingzi's face turned red, and she lowered her eyes and said, "It's not the person I like, it's just..."

She told Chu Shao about the past in Suizhou. Four months ago, she rescued an injured man on the official road. When she learned that he was a scholar preparing for the exam this autumn, she brought him back to the Chu Mansion. After studying for more than a month, Song Hao went to Beijing to rush for the exam. Before leaving, he had promised Chu Mingzi that if he got fame, he would be rewarded.

As for how to repay, she didn't go into details, but Chu Shao made a rough guess. It's nothing more than a gifted scholar and a beautiful woman, who are in love with each other, and only when the man is successful and famous can he ask to marry Miss Qianjin.

Chu Shao wanted to make this marriage perfect, but he thought about it carefully. There was no man with the surname Song in the list he glanced at in the imperial study before. That list was still in the top ten. It was a bit embarrassing to fail.

He didn't explicitly pour cold water on Chu Mingzi, for fear that she would be sad.

At this time, Xiangxiu came in and sent a message: "Your Highness, Your Majesty invites you to the Imperial Study Room."

After marriage, Huaizhen wanted to be with Chu Shao almost all the time, except for going to court. He couldn't stay in Qiwu Palace all the time, so he found various excuses to call Chu Shao to his side.

No one dared to disobey the emperor's oral orders, but Chu Shao just depends on his mood, and today he just happened to worry about Chu Mingzi's sweetheart, which made the emperor feel a little embarrassed.

The little eunuch waiting outside the palace was overjoyed, and felt that today's empress is very kind-hearted, not at all the "demon queen with jade face" that was rumored outside.

In the imperial study room, Huaizhen drew a big red cross on several memorials impeaching Chu Shao for his arrogance and unfilial piety, and then threw them on the ground indiscriminately. Official memorial.

In one morning, the little eunuch had picked up thirty memorials to impeach Chu Shao.

Originally, Huai Zhen's temper wasn't so bad, but he was really annoyed by the officials nagging these days.

"Speaking of benevolence, righteousness and morality, but not doing anything practical, are you raising this group of people to cause trouble for me?!" Another memorial flew out, just at an angle, and fell into the arms of Chu Shao who had just entered the hall.

Chu Shao was taken aback, raised his hand to catch the fallen memorial, opened it and glanced at it—as he wished, the Yanguan was forcing Huai Zhen to abolish his arrogant queen.

Seeing that he almost hit Chu Shao, Huai Zhen hurriedly got up and walked forward and asked, "Are you hurt?"

"No, it depends on how angry you are." As soon as Chu Shao entered the hall, he saw a pile of memorials on the ground, presumably they were all here to impeach him.

Huai Zhen took the memorial from Chu Shao's hand, threw it among the pair of memorials on the ground, suppressed his anger and said, "This group of literati are full of sour words, you don't need to pay attention."

Chu Shao advised: "Governing the country is not like fighting a war. We only talk about swords, guns and sticks. You should listen to what scholars say."

The civil and military forces of the previous dynasty were severely deformed. Huaizhen controlled the military power and the loyalty of the generals, so he didn't have to worry about foreign aggression. However, the mouths of civil officials were as sharp as a blade in the Taiping era.

Just looking at the thirty or so memorials, Chu Shao could guess that the new emperor had no control over the party of civil servants, so this imperial examination was particularly important.

"I heard that the top ten list has been preliminarily finalized. I want to see if there is a suitable candidate for Mingzi."

Whatever Chu Shao wanted, Huai Zhen would give. He beckoned Wen Yan to unfold the list handed over by Shang Shutai in front of Chu Shao.

Chu Shaozai scanned the list carefully, not only was there no Song Hao in the top three, but there was not even a Song in the top ten.

Looks like it really failed.

Chu Shao thought, the elder sister of the Chu family might be sad this time.

"Are you satisfied?" Huai Zhen asked.

"It's useless for me to be satisfied, Mingzi must be satisfied. Unfortunately, the one she likes is not in the top ten."

Huai Zhen said: "These ten people were selected by Shangshutai, you just wait for the list presented by Ning Yuanqiu, maybe there will be surprises."

Chu Shao was puzzled: "Can there still be two lists for the imperial examination?"

"Six officials from Shangshutai, and four disciples of Taifu."

When Huai Zhen said this, Chu Shao understood that these ten people were probably the young people Wen Teng wanted to support.

In this imperial examination, Huaizhen's fundamental purpose was to obtain some fresh blood from speech officials and prevent them from being completely infiltrated by veteran officials, and Wen Teng was naturally guarding against this.

"The officials of the previous dynasty all had the same mouth as Wen Teng, and the only ones I can trust are Ning Yuanqiu and his disciples." Huaizhen said, holding Chu Shao's hand, "There is also Qingxu. You can review the top ten papers with me, okay?"

He raised his head, his eyes were full of expectation and pleading, Chu Shao couldn't refuse, and he didn't want Wen Teng to control the government and the public out of selfishness.

Huaizhen was in a good mood, so he found the general's memorial and began to review it.

It was the same as when he was in the palace, when he was dealing with official business, Chu Shao sat beside him, sipping tea and eating snacks, occasionally making a little movement, Huai Jiugu thought it was quite pleasant, and the review of memorials was not so boring.

But today, Chu Shao saw that his writing hand was a little stiff, and when he walked over to take a look, the writing was not as neat as usual.

"what happened to your hand?"

Before Huai Zhen complained, Wen Yan said: "It's been cold these days, and the old injury on His Majesty's shoulder has recurred. At night, the pain is so painful that you can't sleep. When you write, your bone hurts like being pricked by a needle!"

It was somewhat exaggerated, but when Chu Shao heard this, his brows twitched slightly, and Huai Zhen immediately put on a pitiful appearance of writing in pain.

Huaizhen had injuries on both shoulders, and they were all related to Chu Shao. On the one hand, he protected him from poisonous arrows in the North Tour, and on the other hand, he stabbed him on the edge of the cliff.

I thought he had rough skin and thick flesh, but after so long, it still hurts.

Chu Shao didn't sleep with Huai Zhen, and he didn't know if he was really in pain so much that he couldn't sleep at night.

"Then have you taken your medicine?" Chu Qingxu asked awkwardly.

Huaizhen took a look at Wen Yan, and Eunuch Wen Yan immediately cooperated with the misery, "Your Majesty has been drinking soup and medicine for the past few days! But this injury is in the bone, how can it be cured by drinking some medicine? The old slave looked at it It hurts!"

Chu Shao: "..."

With a clatter, Huaizhen didn't hold the pen properly, and dropped a Langhao jade pen on the table. If Chu Shao hadn't caught it quickly with quick eyesight, the jade pen would definitely have been broken in two.

"It hurts, it hurts!"

Obviously it wasn't some unbearable pain, but when Chu Shao came, Huai Jiugu suddenly became extremely fragile!

Chu Qingxu didn't know if the pain in his mouth was real or not, whether it was because of the lingering fear of Beiyou's poisonous arrow.

"If it really hurts, don't criticize the memorial."

Huai Zhen was helpless and pitiful: "There are still more than twenty books to read."

Chu Shao frowned and said, "Then what should we do?"

Huai Jiugu hugged Chu Qingxu, let him sit on his lap, and stuffed the jade pen into his hand, "Why don't you come and review the memorial?"

"..." Chu Qingxu turned his head and looked at him like a madman, "Are you crazy? Are you not afraid that I will take the opportunity to avenge the subjugation of the country?"

Just write a few words on the memorial and stamp the jade seal on it, and then the power of the Zhongqin states can be mobilized.

The emperor can use the jade pen to rule the country and the world, so naturally Chu Shao can also use the jade pen to ruin the country and disrupt the government.

If you want to stir Zhongqin into a mess, you just need to move your pen.

Huaizhen's heart is so big, it really makes him sigh.

"Xiao Shao has the whole world in his heart, so why would he take innocent people under the knife?" Huai Zhen said, unfolding a memorial for him.

Chu Shao had to remind him: "If it is known that I am criticizing the memorial, there will be chaos outside."

"I'll support you today, you won't be able to turn over."

"..."

Concerned about the injury on his shoulder, Chu Qingxu had no choice but to rush the ducks to the shelf and read the memorial seriously.

Huaizhen sat on the heated kang beside him, cross-legged and ate red bean cakes.

He propped his chin, staring straight at Chu Qingxu with a pair of affectionate eyes. He saw him sitting on a chair, holding a jade pen in his slender and flexible hands, his brows were warm and soft, his eyes were focused on the world on the paper, and his black hair was casual. Draped over his shoulders, his skin is as white as snow, plump and handsome, more pleasing to the eye than any other pictures of beauties.

Huai Zhen remembered what he said a few days ago, and sighed in his heart, in his life, he could only be planted in the hands of Chu Qingxu alone, and he would be planted willingly, and would not want to leave.

The author says:

Shao'er: I'm worried that I'll become addicted to writing memorials, so I'll kick you, you dog emperor.

Jiu Gu: I don't believe you are willing.

Shao'er: Heh.
