Break the line

But they have to be angry with a few fake Taoists, can they afford it! "

"Look at what you said, our son of heaven is blessed by the moon god. Although he is not very strong, it is also because of his young age. After ten or eight years, when the son of heaven grows up, he will have ten more children." Of the eight little princes, it's just a matter of making the Pope look good." Eunuch Qi took the tea cup that the Queen Mother drank, and comforted him with a smile on his face.

The first to arrive was Cheng Qi, who was studying with the emperor in the palace, the eldest nephew of the Empress Dowager Cheng.

"May the Empress Dowager be blessed and safe!" A pair of smiling peach blossom eyes born at a young age

Empress Dowager Cheng hurriedly invited him in: "Call me aunt! You're still so heretical after you've said it a hundred times, come quickly and eat hibiscus tea shortbread, specially prepared for you!"

A fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy came over like a monkey, grabbed a piece, and said happily: "My aunt still loves me! Isn't it because my father writes letters to reprimand me every day, understands the principles and respects teachers, studies hard, scolds me every day, and scolds me every day through letters." Even the paper could feel his tiger eyes widening."

A few sentences or two coaxed Empress Dowager Cheng into a smile. This nephew and his younger brother were really not in the same temperament. The younger brother was leading the army in the southwest, and he never smiled, talking like hailstorms.He just gave birth to a well-behaved nephew who can speak well, and who can also speak with a smile on his face. Fortunately, such a nephew is by the little emperor's side, and he can still talk to him a few words. Thinking of his son who is always shrinking in the corner of the dragon chair, Cheng The queen mother couldn't help sighing again.

"Master Lu Buqiu, Governor of Pingling, pays homage to the Empress Dowager, good luck and prosperity!" The stalwart man in blue bowed humbly, saying that he is a civil servant, but his eyes are firm and his muscles are well-proportioned. At first glance, he looks like a veteran who has been tempered in the battlefield. ; Let's say he is a military officer, but he is also elegant in conversation, not in a hurry, always talking and smiling.In short, it was Lu Buqiu, the superintendent who held one hundred thousand elite guards, who was known as the imperial forest outside the palace and the Jingji guard of Taizu's personal guard.

The queen mother didn't talk about things, and he didn't ask, just sat down quietly and discussed the emperor's recent civil and military lessons with Cheng Qi.

After another half hour, the Empress Dowager was in a hurry and was about to order someone to urge her, when Xian De Hou hurried in all the way, seeing that his dignified and polite face was full of anxiety, sweat dripping down his scrupulous temples fall. "

The topic of the discussion is very simple, and it has been repeated for the seventh time so far: the Pope's Taoist once again invited the emperor to practice.The difference is that there is a rubbing copy of the imperial edict that Emperor Taizong ordered his descendants to ascend the throne to practice. At the end, he also said that he had sent his personal disciples who are proficient in medical skills to meet him, to ensure the health of His Majesty on the journey, and to ask the Queen Mother to respect the legacy of the ancestors and send the emperor to practice. The emperor's desire to learn.

What are you talking about!You actually used Emperor Taizong's will to suppress the queen mother of the dynasty, you said the emperor is not in good health, okay, I will send a medical officer to pick him up, really blocked all the reasons for the queen mother!

The Empress Dowager Cheng gently wiped away her tears: "You also know that our Majesty is only 15 years old and has not yet reached the age of taking office, so why does he insist on forcing a weak child to go to the wilderness and desert! The three of you are no better than the court The hundreds of decorations in official uniforms are all the emperor's close relatives, in such a situation, what should we do as orphans and widows?"

The three of them looked at each other and were silent for a while, Cheng Qi bit his lips, he had to give his aunt a step, let's start by himself: "Qi Queen Mother, this time concerns the safety of His Majesty, it is really a major matter of the country, the boy is too young to dare Rubbish words, immediately repair the book and send someone to the army to see what my lord father has to say."

"Okay, my brother always thinks about his nephew."

After saying that, both of them set their eyes on the remaining two.

Since King Xiande relied on the regent emperor, he had to speak first to set the tone: "The emperor has already declined six times due to his weak health, and it has been delayed for eight years. I am afraid that the patience there has been exhausted, but this emperor's practice is It is Taizong's own handwriting, this... this is really hard to violate the order of the ancestors!"

The Queen Mother looked at King Xiande in disbelief: "Then, shall we let him go?"

King Xiande continued: "The pope's environment is poor and unfavorable to the emperor's health. Why don't we use this as a reason to build a palace on Chuanjiao Mountain. The emperor's practice is only in the palace, but it can be regarded as being near the pope. This is an expedient measure. "

The Empress Dowager lowered her eyes and thought for a moment, Lu Buqiu on the side held back the smile on the corner of her mouth, the Xiande King thought about it and added: "Even if it is a practice palace, in terms of engineering, it can still be delayed for another three to five years."

The queen mother seemed to be convinced: "Then what about the pro-patriarch who has been sent this time?"

silence

Lord Governor Lu said lightly: "Kill it."

Everyone was shocked, and King Xiande stood up immediately: "That's the apprentice of Taoist, the envoy of the Pope! We are the imperial court, not the prison of Jingjiwei!"

Cheng Qi quickly smoothed things over: "Lord Lu probably doesn't understand that there is a big difference between the dean and the direct dean. Normally, there are not a hundred or even dozens of dean in our capital, and there are every square and every yamen, but the personal dean is the whole There are only three popes, and they were trained by Daozi as his successor. He is considered the Pope's prince, and his status is also outstanding. I think we treat each other with courtesy, and I didn't say that I would not send the emperor. If he is a sensible person, Just take the reply from the imperial court and hand it over."

Lu Buqiu smiled: "So that's how it is. This governor is ignorant and ignorant. It's fine to do what Xiao Cheng said."

"I mean, if it's really inconvenient, you can kill it."

Everyone automatically ignored his last sentence. After the discussion was over, the Empress Dowager Cheng had a backbone. When the three of them dispersed, she patted the backboard behind her lightly: "Chang'an, can you hear me clearly? Mother will never Someone took you to be insulted!" The little emperor on the other side of the backboard nodded: "Yeah." Only Ah Jia saw the emperor's right hand trembling badly, and his eyes were full of panic.

Ah Jia accompanied the emperor back to Zhengqi Hall for an afternoon nap, and the emperor who was curled up on the couch finally stammered, "I, I want to see my sister."

A Jia hurriedly comforted him: "Your Majesty, the princess just came to greet you yesterday, and the next day to enter the palace is still nine days away. Don't be afraid, the servant is here with you. Go to sleep."

"I, I, I miss her" the emperor persisted for a rare time, and sure enough, Blowing Horn Mountain still frightened him

Ah Jia sighed, he is an old man who has been with the emperor since he was one year old, and it is only this kind of old man who can say a few words to the frail emperor: "Don't worry, the princess will come in nine days. You also know that the Empress Dowager doesn't like... her, go to sleep, Your Majesty, the servant will be by your side to accompany you until the Princess comes."

After a while, there was no sound from the couch.

Li Zui, who was being talked about by the emperor, was playing with the dart that saved her life in the mansion, and finally raised the dart and said, "Come here, prepare a generous gift and send it to the Pope and Jingjiwei camp in Chengyifang!"

I want to see what you guys are thinking about who hurt me and who saved me this time!

Chapter 7

In the camp of Jingjiwei, the deputy envoy Chi Yan accepted the gift from Princess Jialan on behalf of the governor, and the gift was given by the chief guard Kan Jian, both of whom were taciturn.

Kan Jian opened his mouth in a rare way: "Usually, he is the deputy envoy of Longquan."

Chi Yan is eight feet tall and has a beard. He cupped his hands and smiled innocently: "The chief guard Kan is laughing. The younger brother has a cold and is recuperating."

Kan Jian returned the salute and cupped his hands, without further words, he just turned his eyes to the door curtain of the inner room and shook slightly.

At the archery range of Xiande Prince's Mansion, Li Zui was shooting darts blindfolded. She saw her ears moving lightly, following the target on the sliding track around her. When the target stopped, she bowed left and right. There were two soft muffled sounds, and she dared not gasp Yinglan immediately clapped her hands and became excited: "I hit it, and it's all ten rings! My lord is the best!"

Li Zui took off his blindfold, and the two rotating logs in the southeast and due north collided with two silver darts, "There is a nine ring."

After she cleaned her hands, sat down to drink tea and take a rest, the two of them went forward to report.

"My lord, Longquan didn't show up." Kan Jian said succinctly

"is it him?"

"I haven't fought against him in the past, but judging from the stature and skills of the first gray-clothed man that day, seven or eight out of ten."

"Um"

"Where's the Pope?" She didn't care.

"The dean in Beijing accepted the gift, and he said a lot of words of thanks, saying that fortunately, you solved the case of stealing the moon pole. You should have come to give the gift first, and you were worried about the Pope's law that you should not make friends with officials, so you didn't dare to make decisions without authorization. .Let him say everything!"

"Make the decision without authorization? It seems that there is someone else who can make the decision?"

"I, I saw Xinghe there." Ying Lan stammered.

"Oh? Did my mother and concubine go to the ceremony?" Li Zui was not surprised. Princess Xiande is a devout follower of the Pope, and all the women and ladies in the capital know that the youngest daughter of the former grand master was also a lively Joyful, a charming girl with great literary talents, but the chaos of the three kings, the emperor of the Qing Dynasty punished Chao Yi, the huge nobles of the third generation, scattered like birds and beasts overnight, Chao Yi was executed, and the children were imprisoned by Jingjiwei.When the first emperor used his teacher's blood donation in exchange for the defense change time, he cleaned up the three kings of the opposite sex one by one, and when he carried out the Chao family, the three sons and one daughter became ordinary people in the market.The Chao family, which had led the literary world for a century, collapsed like this. The three sons were all engaged in business, selling tea and selling silk.Even if the late emperor wanted to make amends, he had no choice but to give these junior sisters, who were infatuated with the Pope, to his own younger brother, Jingui, which was regarded as a complete teacher-student friendship.

But this Miss Jiao, who has been in prison for three years, has become a pure follower of the Pope. She never participates in the activities of officials in Beijing and China, and the ceremonies of the papal towers in each square are not done. The emperor and queen are not good. Take care of it, King Xiande can't take care of it, after a long time, you will get used to it.

"That's not true. The Beijing Office has no ceremonies recently, and the princess did not come in person, but sent
