Zhuo Qihua

Xiang Lu walked out of the palace all the way, and drove slowly along the road to Bailao Theater.The emperor's reliance is extremely majestic, and the queen mother's guard of honor follows the emperor's reliance.Where the mighty convoy passed, all the people avoided.On the entire street where the Bailao Theater is located, there is a post every ten steps, and the horrific guards hold sharp weapons to protect the safety of the emperor and the queen mother.This time, the noble lords of the entire harem came out in full force, and the leaders of the Ministry of War, the Imperial Forest Army, and the Imperial Army in charge of this security, each Alexander.

Zhuo Ji was in the car all the time, he didn't know that there would be such a big battle between him and Emperor Yong'an during this trip.When he and Emperor Yong'an got out of the car and looked back, he was really surprised.The queen mother got out of the car, Huangguixie, Deguixie, Xiguifei, Mingyu... Zhuo Ji looked up at the signboard of Bailao Theater, and then looked at the people in the palace on the side, he understood. This was a surprise given to him by Emperor Yong'an.

Emperor Yong'an held Zhuo Ji's hand, and when his mother came forward, he said, "Mother, go in."

"it is good."

Emperor Yong'an took his paternity with one hand and supported his mother with the other, and walked towards Bailao Theater first.The steward of the theater led a group of people to kneel down to greet him, and the father-in-law of the palace department received His Majesty and his party upstairs.This time out of the palace, those concubines who haven't been out of the palace for a long time and have no status in the palace are the happiest.Having not stepped out of the harem cage for many years, they are like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden, where everything is fresh.Emperor Yong'an and the lords of the harem who were officially appointed to the throne went to the second floor, and the others were on the first floor.Important court officials such as Sui Guogong and Shi Yu are also on the second floor.King Qin and King Qi also came, also on the second floor.

The second floor is all private seats. Emperor Yong'an is in one room with his mother and Zhuo Ji, the imperial concubine is in a room with De Guipin and Ming Xi, and Concubine Xi is in a room with Concubine Xiao and Concubine Wen.Qi Yiguo (Chunyi) and Tong Yifeng (Zhaotong) are naturally also in the same room.The main lady of the first palace and the 俍俍 are all in the private seats upstairs, and some people sitting in the hall with others downstairs are naturally very sad.On occasions like today, as long as they are not relegated to limbo, everyone will come.Shi Fangxiu and Zheng Yingzhi, who were least favored, sat at the back.

The officials that Emperor Yong'an summoned to accompany him this time were all important officials of the court, who were trusted by him, and they were all sitting on the second floor at this time, opposite to the emperor.It was the first time Lin Xieshan, Shi Yu and the others saw Shun Chuu again after such a long time. Before the play started, they secretly paid attention to Shun Chu's complexion.

Zhuo Ji was very happy, and after sitting down, he said: "Your Majesty really gave the waiter a big surprise." With the Empress Dowager present, and in a public place, Zhuo Ji was very careful when speaking.

Emperor Yong'an smiled and said, "It's not in vain if I can give it to you."

The queen mother said with a smile: "You have been feeling uncomfortable and dizzy for a while. If you are happy, maybe you will be fine."

Zhuo Ji was very moved by Emperor Yong'an's thoughts, and said to the queen mother: "The waiter can't be happier now, his head is not dizzy, and his stomach feels hungry."

Queen Mother: "This is great! Aunt Shen, go, hurry up and get some food for Shunxi."

Emperor Yong'an: "Not busy. I've sent someone to do the shopping. It's rare for him to come out of the palace. He must be thinking about those snacks in the capital."

Zhuo Ji held Emperor Yong'an tightly and never let go of his hand: "Your Majesty still understands the servant."

Queen Mother: "Hehehe..."

Everyone arrived, the gate of Bailao Theater was closed, the steward of the palace secretary came up to ask if the show should start, and Emperor Yong'an ordered the show to start.Feng Xi then came in and brought Shun Youzi's favorite snacks, such as oil-seed noodles, which he had ordered to buy for her.

With the sound of Tongluo, the whole theater fell silent in an instant.The player who played the cards came out, holding a big sign in his hand, with the three big characters "Kite Mi" written on it, and shouted "Feng~Kite~Mi~" in a long voice.This is a play adapted by Bailao Theater based on an opera story written by Zhuo Ji.Opera has flourished in Mata country, and after the birthday of the Empress Dowager, Peking opera has become an elegant style that the upper class in Beijing flocks to.According to this situation, Broad Theater has also prepared a series of classic Peking Opera plays.And Zhuo Ji also introduced richer performance forms such as drama, opera, song and dance, sketch, cross talk, etc. to Bailao Theater.He even dictated, and asked Chang Jing to write "The Legend of Condor Heroes", which was then adapted into a script by the theater and staged in the theater in the form of a drama series, which achieved great success.

Whores in the theater who used to sell their laughter and bodies for a living are now stars.As long as they pay their acting skills, they can get applause and praise from everyone.

The performance started, Zhuo Ji thought, if not in public, he would definitely give Emperor Yong'an a deep kiss.In order to make him happy, Emperor Yong'an spent so much time and dispatched so many people...

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Zhuo Ji whispered.

Emperor Yong'an looked at the stage below and said, "Eat quickly."

Kite Mistake was originally a comedy, and with the precise performance of the actors, everyone was also brought into the plot.Bursts of laughter burst out from time to time as the actors performed.

On the streets of the capital, fast horses galloped.The people on the horse shouted: "Good news! Good news! The city of Mydoro is broken! King Talkin commits suicide! The city of Mydoro is broken! King Talkin commits suicide!"

After eating a piece of oily noodles, a piece of fried dough twist, and a piece of small oil cake, Zhuo Ji was extremely satisfied.On the other side, those who secretly followed him saw that Shun's appetite was good, and they were relieved for a long time. It seemed that Shun's body should be fine.

There was constant laughter in the venue, and Emperor Yong'an also had a good time watching it, and praised Aishi: "Your theater is doing well."

Zhuo Ji: "It's all thanks to the people below, serving the body is just giving a direction. It's also thanks to the dedication of Chunyi and Zhaolan, Your Majesty must remember to reward."

"reward!"

Emperor Yong'an has money now, so he can give it whatever he wants.

Qin Zhongyi, who was in charge of the guard duty, came in from the outside and hurried up to the second floor.The little eunuch who was guarding outside came in and said a few words to Zhang Xian. Zhang Xian immediately came behind Wan Sui, and said excitedly, "Long live, the capital of Qin is seeking to see you, and the city of Mituoluo is victorious!"

Emperor Yong'an was stunned for a moment, and immediately said: "Let him in immediately!"

Zhuo Ji also heard it and looked behind.Qin Zhongyi strode in, presented the report with both hands, and said excitedly: "Your Majesty! General Dingguo and General Dingyuan led the army to attack Mydoro City, Atutai committed suicide, and the Tarkin royal family died. Catch it, this is a report written by General Dingguo himself!"

Emperor Yong'an was overjoyed, took the memorial and quickly opened it.The officials on the opposite side saw this scene and looked at each other, what happened?However, Lin Xieshan thought that it was possible that there was news from Mituoluo City, and after counting the time, there should be a result.

In the report, Pan Pozhi greatly praised the outstanding achievements of the "Kite Team" and "Musketeer Team" in this war, especially the kite team.Under the bombardment of the kite team, the well-defended Mythora City was easily breached by the army of the Mata State.The vanguard army broke into the simple palace of Tarkin's department all the way.Atutai, who was powerless to recover, killed the queen and several favorite concubines and servants, and committed suicide in the bedroom.The vanguard army led by Pan Beigu and the musketeer team led by Lin Yi killed the rebellious Talkin royal family and captured those who surrendered.More than half of Atutai's more than 20 princes and princesses were killed or injured.Atutai's prince was killed by Lin Yi.

Pan Yuzhi said in the report that in order to prevent any change, Lam Yi will escort the key criminals of Tarkin's department and some of the trophies back to the capital in the snow.This batch of important criminals included Atutai's surviving concubines, as well as Atutai's surviving princes and princesses.One of them was Atutai's favorite son, the 13-year-old Prince Wanyuanwang.There is also Atutai's favorite daughter, the 16-year-old Princess Wangushu.

If we say that Emperor Yong'an is in a good mood after seeing the content in front of the memorial.But at the end of the report, there was a letter and no envelope.Emperor Yong'an glanced at Qin Zhongyi who bowed his head and said nothing, put down the report, and opened the letter.The letter was actually written by Lin Yi to Qin Zhongyi!Emperor Yong'an's eyes were dark, Qin Zhongyi would never make such a low-level mistake!

He closed the letter, stood up, and said to Qin Zhongyi: "You come out with me."

Qin Zhongyi went out, and Zhang Xian followed suit.The queen mother looked at Zhuo Ji: "Is there something wrong with it?"

Zhuo Ji turned his head and watched Emperor Yong'an go out, the door was closed, he turned back and said to the queen mother: "Maybe. But it's definitely not serious." The appearance of Emperor Yong'an made Zhuo Ji and the queen mother bothered to watch the drama.

After Emperor Yong'an walked out, he opened the letter.In the letter, Lin Yi told Qin Zhongyi in a gossip tone that Princess Wangushu was the most beautiful woman in the Talkin tribe, and she was not yet married.The descendants of several generals in Talkin's department fought duels for her.After Princess Wangushu was arrested, she kept asking to meet His Majesty.Lin Yi said with emotion in the letter that Wan Gushu was indeed extremely beautiful. If he hadn't been married and the other party was Tarkin's princess, he would not be able to restrain himself from bowing down under her pomegranate skirt.

Lin Yi said something serious in the letter, but Qin Zhongyi stuffed the letter in the report.Emperor Yong'an did not scold Qin Zhongyi for his carelessness and Lin Yi for his indecency.Who is Lin Yi? Emperor Yong'an knew very well that Lin Yi deliberately wrote to Qin Zhongyi in such a tone, but in fact, he asked Qin Zhongyi to tell him.

It is rare for the two countries to slaughter each other's royal family members, especially the members of the direct line. This is also to appease the hearts of the other country's citizens.If the royal family is slaughtered as soon as the battle is defeated, it will arouse the resistance of the other country's citizens, which is not conducive to the subsequent pacification and appeasement.The other party was Atutai's own daughter, a young, unpicked, and extremely beautiful woman.The other party strongly requested to see the emperor of the Mata country, and his thoughts were self-evident.

Handing the letter back to Qin Zhongyi, Emperor Yong'an ordered: "That princess from Tarkin, don't let Shunxi know!"

Qin Zhongyi nodded vigorously.Emperor Yong'an said with a dark face: "Pan Jizhi will cause unnecessary trouble for me!" Emperor Yong'an didn't say that Pan Jizhi should have been killed in the first place.

Qin Zhongyi: "..."

Emperor Yong'an: "Biography of Lin Xieshan, Qin Su..." He said the names of a series of officials, and after returning to the palace after the play, he went to Fengtian Hall to discuss matters.After Qin Zhongyi left, Zhang Xian asked cautiously, "Your Majesty, what's wrong?"

Emperor Yong'an looked back at the closed door of the elegant room, and said in a low voice: "Pan Pozhi asked Lin Yi to bring me back the most beautiful woman in the Talkin tribe. She is also the daughter of Atutai. Did you offend me?" trouble!"

"Ah!" Zhang Xian hurriedly covered his mouth.

Emperor Yong'an: "I don't think it will be long before people will enter the capital. Go and have a look first, if it's really..."

Zhang Xian was worried: "Long live, if it's an ordinary woman, it's fine. This Tarkin princess has just entered Beijing, so she can't do anything (kill) at all."

Emperor Yong'an said irritably: "You can't let Shunxi see her! You go and see for me first, whether it is really what Pan Yuzhi said. In a place like Tarkin, no matter how beautiful a woman is, how beautiful can she be!"

Zhang Xian nodded.

When Emperor Yong'an returned to the private room, he couldn't see any restlessness anymore.Zhuo Ji asked him in a low voice: "Your Majesty, are you alright?"

Emperor Yong'an sneered: "I still thought that Atutai was so stubborn, I didn't think about it, but he committed suicide. Before he died, he killed the queen and his favorite concubine, but he was not willing to kill his favorite son. Atutai's prince was killed in the chaos, which saved me trouble. Yi Lin is now escorting members of the Talkin royal family and some criminal officials with sensitive identities back to Beijing, accompanied by part of the captured spoils. There is a secret memorial in the memorial just now."

After Emperor Yong'an said this, the Queen Mother and Zhuo Ji understood why he was going out, and they were relieved.Zhuo Ji agreed: "The people of Tarkin's royal family stay in Mydoro City, and those remaining forces will definitely find a way to unite with them to fight back. It's better to escort them back first."

Emperor Yong'an went on to say: "It's already very cold in Tarkin, and Pan Pozhi led the army to stay in Mydoro City. I want to draw up suitable candidates to go to Tarkin's department, and select talents from the talents after the spring next year, so that the Pan Pozhi and Pan Beigu supported first, and the officials who stayed there before stepped forward first." With a long sigh of relief, Emperor Yong'an said with satisfaction: "The big trouble of the Tarkin Ministry has finally been eradicated."

Zhuo Ji: "Congratulations, Your Majesty."

"Hehe..." Emperor Yong'an smiled on his face, but he was ruthless in his heart. He absolutely couldn't let his servant who likes to see beauties see Wan Gushu!

"Kite Mistake" ended perfectly amidst applause.Emperor Yong'an was in a good mood and ordered a reward on the spot.The actors of the kite mistake knelt down and kowtowed to express their gratitude one by one.Emperor Yong'an still has state affairs to deal with, so he ordered to return to the palace.The mighty convoy drove towards the palace, Zhuo Ji kept smiling, and it could be seen that he was in a good mood.Seeing Ai Shi so happy, Emperor Yong'an couldn't help lowering his head and kissing Ai Shi's mouth.Hmm, the taste of an apple in my mouth.

After returning to the palace, Zhuo Ji went to the bedroom, and Emperor Yong'an went to Qinwen Palace to discuss with the ministers about the follow-up matters of the great victory of the Talkin Ministry.After Zhuo Ji returned to the bedroom, he said to Chang Jing: "Call Liang Qi and Quan Sheng, I have something to do for them."

"Yes."

Chang Jing quickly called the two of them, and Zhuo Ji said to them: "These children in the palace have grown up. I was very busy before, and I didn't take care of them." When Emperor Yong'an was away, he took out the drawings secretly drawn and handed them to the two, saying: "Here is a simple drawing of a baby tricycle. One is a simple drawing of a baby balance car. The other is a simple drawing of a baby scooter." , the two of you go back and think about it, and first each make a finished product and give it to Huang Guijie. If possible, the two of you will listen to Huang Guijie's arrangement. In addition, I need you two to make a deck of cards .”

"Master, just give orders."

Zhuo Ji took out a blank piece of paper, and wrote and drew his ideas and the requirements of the deck while talking.After both of them expressed that they understood, he handed the paper to them as well.Xiaohui asked curiously: "Master, have you thought of a new card for His Majesty?"

Zhuo Ji smiled and said, "That's right."

When Emperor Yong'an came back, it was already past dinner time.As soon as he came in, Zhuo Ji asked Chuan Shan to come in.Seeing the contentment on Emperor Yong'an's face, Zhuo Ji said: "Your Majesty can spend the New Year in a down-to-earth manner."

Emperor Yong'an: "Yes. Without the big worry of the Tarkin Ministry, I can concentrate on developing the domestic economy. A large area of ​​cultivated land in the Tarkin Ministry will be included in the territory of the Mata State, and then Nanyue will be completely taken down. The Mata State As for Xifan, Beiman, and Nanzhao, there is no need to worry about it.” In these three places, the cost of war is far higher than the benefit.

Zhuo Ji: "How is the cultivation of the improved seeds at the Academy of Sciences going?"

Emperor Yong'an: "It's still somewhat effective. After the next year, I decided to build a building for the Academy of Sciences. I also want to build a dormitory building. Anyone who has done a good job in the Fourth Academy and has merit, I will give them a room. Now I deeply feel how precious these scientific and technological talents are. The research institute has also made progress in the research of steam power, which is all good news."

Zhuo Ji: "Your Majesty is wise and mighty, our country is getting better and better."

Emperor Yong'an put his arms around Zhuo Ji and asked for a kiss, which he liked to hear.
