Zhuo Qihua

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Qin is asking to see you."

"Let him in."

Emperor Yong'an raised his head from the memorial, and Zhang Xian immediately stepped forward to fill the tea.

King Qin came in, followed by his personal eunuch.Qin Wangdao: "Father, my son is here to send the newly drawn sea chart."

Emperor Yong'an was overjoyed upon hearing this.Zhang Xian stepped forward to take the box with the chart and sent it to the dragon case.Emperor Yong'an asked: "You follow your mother and father, have you rested?"

After Qiu Lie came back, Zhuo Ji moved back to Xiangfu Palace.King Qin also came from Xiangfu Palace, and said: "When my son came out of Xiangfu Palace, Shun's mother and father said that they would go to the emperor's grandmother for afternoon tea."

Emperor Yong'an was very satisfied.

Qin Wang: "Father, my son has something to play."

Emperor Yong'an: "What's the matter?"

Qin Wang: "Father, the three-year draft in the palace has arrived. Nian Shangshu is very distressed about this matter, so my uncle told my son."

Emperor Yong'an's face turned cold instantly: "What did Shao Pingqiu tell you?"

The King of Qin said truthfully: "The Nian Shangshu did not dare to play, saying that he was afraid of being beaten. But the emperor has never made a clear order, and the Ministry of Households can't pretend to be ignorant of this matter and neglect the past. Uncle was really embarrassed to read the Nian Shangshu, so he took care of his children. The minister came to discuss the tone of the emperor."

Emperor Yong'an's complexion improved a little, and he said: "Whenever a newcomer enters the palace, there is no one who does not act as a monster. Once or twice is enough, if there are too many times, you must obey your mother and father and you must not quarrel with your father. Now you have ten Royal brother, there are five royal sisters and royal sisters in total, and my father does not need newcomers to spread the branches and leaves for the royal family. Whether the palace and clan need newcomers is up to your parents." Emperor Yong'an didn't mind being punished by his son I know he is afraid of guilt.

King Qin: "My son, go and tell Uncle right now."

"Well, you should go and rest too."

"My son retire."

King Qin left, and Emperor Yong'an took out a new chart.Zhang Xian joked at the side: "Long live, Shang Shu is too courageous this year."

Emperor Yong'an: "It's not that he has no guts, he's afraid of being poked in the back. This 'Damata Bank' is about to open. How this bank opened can't be hidden from Lin Xieshan and the others. If he dares to play in court If you do something, you will have to put a sack on someone later.”

Zhang Xian covered his mouth and smiled.

Emperor Yong'an: "The palace has finally become more peaceful. If there are a few more people who like to be monsters, if you don't bother me, I will be annoyed."

Zhang Xian: "Nowadays, even the northern barbarians don't want to threaten Long Live with marriage anymore."

Emperor Yong'an smiled.

At this time, Feng Xi came in from the outside again: "Your Majesty, Ye Shangshu asks to see you."

"Announce it."

Ye Bingtian came in hurriedly, saluted and said: "Your Majesty, the Beiman mission came to Beijing to ask for an audience, and the urgent note at the border has been sent to the Ministry of Rites." Ye Bingtian said, and handed over the urgent note.

Emperor Yong'an's face was cold, Zhang Xian stepped forward to take the quick play and handed it to Wan Live.Emperor Yong'an glanced casually, and said: "When people come, arrange it as you like."

Arrange it at will... Ye Bingtian: "I understand. But the Beiman mission enters Beijing at this time, and I am afraid that they will have to spend the winter in the capital before returning." Beiman is already snowing heavily at this time, and the first snowfall in the capital is also a sight to behold. They are about to come down, and they will definitely not be able to leave by this time.

Emperor Yong'an: "All their expenses shall be settled by themselves."

"The minister obeys the order."

Ye Bingtian came here for the affairs of the Beiman mission, and he left after knowing His Majesty's intentions.As soon as Ye Bingtian left, Zhang Xian asked, "Long live, if the Beiman mission asks to see the two Yelu..."

Emperor Yong'an: "They'd better take him back."

If you don't take it back, staying in the palace is also dead.Emperor Yong'an didn't say this, but Zhang Xian could understand.

After getting the right words from the King of Qin, Nianqing took reassurance, and didn't mention the draft at the court meeting.If the Minister of the Household Department does not mention it, the Duke, the Prince, and the other five ministers seem to have forgotten about it. Those officials who still want to take advantage of the next year's draft to send their children or friends' children to the palace can only go to the Ministry of Household Affairs. After inquiring, no one dared to cross the New Year's Eve to perform.Upon inquiring, those people wanted to cry but had no tears.Your Majesty has said that there will be no drafts in the future.The reason is very simple, I'm afraid that the people who enter the palace through the draft will upset (by the way) my parents.

His Majesty favored and subdued her to such an extent that they had no other choice but to be aggrieved.There is no draft in the palace, but the palace ladies need to be supplemented.After all, in the next year, there will be many court ladies who are old enough to leave the palace.In addition, there are also engagements in the royal clan.These things are what the queen is worried about.

Less than ten days after Ye Bingtian handed over the Bianguan Jizuo to Emperor Yong'an, Yelu Washeng brought the Beiman mission to Dongluo City again.Yelv Washeng brought a large amount of special products from the northern barbarians - fur, fine horses, strong yaks, sheep, cheese, gemstones, more than what they had given when they came here for marriage.The bombing in Xinlan City scared them out of their wits.If the Mata country is really determined to take down the Beiman, they are no match for the Mata country at all!

This time the leader was still Yelu Washeng, but Emperor Yong'an didn't intend to meet him, so he only sent King Xianyi to receive him.King Wu Shao had already returned, but Emperor Yong'an didn't send him there.In the cabinet, King Wu Shao has already entered the core of power, and was sent to Nanyue before.Emperor Yong'an only sent King Xianyi who had no real power to receive Beiman and his party, which is enough to explain Emperor Yong'an's attitude towards Beiman.

King Xianyi saw that Yelu Washeng had no good face, and even satirized Yelu Washeng.You yourself begged for nothing and insisted on sending Wang Geer and the princess, but when they did, you were uneasy, and dared to harbor ill-will towards our country's friends, and even speak out against us.Your Majesty just bombed one of your cities, which is just a small punishment.

No one in the Northern Man would have thought that Yelu Tangkuo and Yelu Buyan who had just been sent over would make such a big basket in such a short period of time.Yelu Washeng not only brought twenty beautiful Northern Man women and twenty handsome Northern Man elder brothers, but also brought Yelu Qingzhuang, the elder brother of Northern Man King Yelu Longshu's direct relative. Party fifteen.Yelulongshu had hundreds of concubines and concubines, and had many children. Although more than half of them died young or died of illness, there were twenty or thirty who survived.Yelu Buyan and Yelu Tangkuo can only be regarded as his concubine brothers and daughters, but Yelu Qingzhuang is the elder brother of the eldest son of Yelu Longshu and the queen.Yelulongshu's eldest son died of illness the year before last, leaving behind several children, Yeluqingzhuang is one of them.Yeluqingzhuang lived in the palace since he was a child, and was deeply loved by the Queen of the Northern Man.The prince Yelu Zongyi was also born to the Queen of the Northern Man.Yelu Zongyi didn't have a main concubine yet, but there were already a lot of side concubines and concubines, and dozens of children had been born, but only a few survived.

Yeluqingzhuang is the eldest son of the northern barbarian king's eldest son, the son of his main wife.It was the greatest sincerity Yelu Longshu could think of to send his grandson to Mata to appease the anger of Emperor Yong'an.If Yelu Zongyi had a daughter or a brother-in-law, Yelulongshu would definitely send the prince's brother-in-law here.With Yelu Buyan, the princess who did something bad, Yelu Longshu didn't dare to send the princess here again.Emperor Yong'an only favored Shunyu (his servant), and now Yelulongshu could only do what he liked and send Brother Mu over there.Yelu Qingzhuang's status is precious, not something that Yelu Buyan and Yelu Tangkuo can match.Yelu Longshu hoped that this move would be forgiven by Emperor Yong'an.

However, after King Xianyi reported the incident with a sullen face, Emperor Yong'an was not as happy as Yelulongshu hoped, but became even angrier.Emperor Yong'an threw away the teacup and said angrily: "In the eyes of Yelu Longshu, I am just sexually attractive?!"

Ye Bingtian hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, calm down. You are deeply favored by Your Majesty, and Yelulongshu may be sent to the prince's brother for this reason."

Emperor Yong'an became even angrier: "I dote on Shunyu because I like to serve her? He just sent me a brother?!"

King Xianyi: "Your Majesty, I heard that there are three thousand beauties in the harem of the Northern Man King, and that the Northern Man King uses himself to save others, that's why he misunderstood Your Majesty so much."

Emperor Yong'an: "Give it back to me! Don't say it's the grandson of Yelu Longshu, even if he gave me his own brother and princess, I won't take it! Give them a chance to speak rudely to my beloved servant." ? Leave things behind and bring them back! Send Yelu Buyan and Yelu Tangkuo back to them too! Don’t waste my rice money by staying in my harem!”

King Xianyi and Ye Bingtian: "Yes..."

On the second day, King Xianyi and Ye Bingtian went to Fengtian Hall again.That brother Yeluqingzhuang Wang wants to meet Emperor Yong'an.Emperor Yong'an directly refused.Later that day, a man dressed in the royal costume of the northern barbarians knelt outside the gate of Tianshou Palace and asked to see His Majesty the Emperor of the Kingdom of Matata.Emperor Yong'an, who learned of this, shattered another priceless imperial teacup.

"Follow the Empress Dowager's order, announce that the son of the King of the Northern Barbarians will enter the palace—"

The eunuch who came on horseback announced the decree outside the palace.What was proclaimed was the imperial edict of the empress dowager, but not the imperial edict of the emperor.

Yeluqingzhuang entered the palace and was taken directly to the Shoukang Palace of the Empress Dowager of Danyang Palace, not the Fengtian Palace where Emperor Yong'an was.In Shoukang Palace, the Empress Dowager, Huangguixie, Deguixie and Xiguifei are all there.After Yelu Qingzhuang was brought in, he glanced at it very calmly, then lowered his eyes, knelt down, and kowtowed: "Yeluqingzhuang, I greet Qianan, the Empress Dowager of the Mata Kingdom..."

"Get up and give me your seat."

"Thank you, Empress Dowager..."

Yeluqingzhuang stood up, took a step back, and sat down.

In terms of appearance, Yelu Qingzhuang was not as good as Yelu Tangkuo, but his overall demeanor definitely surpassed Yelu Tangkuo.In terms of seniority, Yelu Tangkuo is the uncle of Yelu Qingzhuang, but Yelu Tangkuo lacks the dignity and confidence that belong to the royal family in Yelv Qingzhuang.This is the difference brought about by the difference in identity and growth environment.Yelu Qingzhuang is the son of the first prince, and he grew up beside the queen, and his uncle is the crown prince. How could Yelu Tangkuo and Yelu Buyan be comparable.

Even so, the queen mother's attitude towards Yelu Qingzhuang was still very indifferent, she said: "You are the brother of the king of the northern barbarians, kneeling outside the gate of our imperial palace in order to coerce the emperor to submit, I really can't see You Beiman's apology."

Yelu Qingzhuang got up, took a step forward, and knelt down again: "The Empress Dowager calms down...Qingzhuang had no choice but to make such a bad plan. The uncle and aunt didn't understand the general situation, and their words were unreasonable, which destroyed the friendship between the two countries. Qingzhuang As the brother of the king, Zhuang shoulders the heavy burden of restoring the friendship between the two countries on this trip. Qingzhuang knows that His Majesty will not forgive the actions of the emperor's uncle and aunt. Qingzhuang is willing to stay and make amends on behalf of the emperor's uncle and aunt! After finishing speaking, Yeluqing bowed his head solemnly.Compared with the arrogance of Yelu Buyan and Yelu Tangkuo when they came to Mata country, Yelu Qingzhuang's posture was very low.

A nun opened the door curtain and came in, bowed her body and said, "The Empress Dowager, please come by your side."

Yelu Qingzhuang, who was kneeling on the ground, trembled. The Queen Mother, Huangguixie, Deguixie and Xiguifei were very surprised. The Queen Mother looked at Huangguixie, and both of them were puzzled "Why is he here?"

The door curtain was lifted again, and the elegantly dressed Zhuo Jixu came in holding Chang Jing's hand.Glancing at the person kneeling on the ground, he took a step in front of him, and said with a smile: "The attendant greets the empress dowager, the imperial concubine, the noble concubine, and the noble concubine."

Queen Mother: "Why are you here? Sit down quickly."

Zhuo Ji walked up to Deguixie, sat down, and said, "I heard that the King of the Northern Man sent someone into the palace again, and the waiter came to have a look."

The queen mother pouted her chin forward: "Here, the person is here."

Zhuo Ji looked over: "Raise your head, Ben Gong will take a look."

Yeluqing respectfully raised his head, but his eyes were still lowered, and he did not look up disrespectfully.Zhuo Ji sized him up and said, "It looks like Zhou Zheng. I heard he is the grandson of the Northern Man king's direct relative?"

Queen Mother: "His father is the eldest son of the Northern Barbarian King, and he is also the elder brother of the direct relative."

Zhuo Ji couldn't hear his anger and said: "Why does this Northern Man king always like to put people around His Majesty?"

Yeluqingzhuang raised his eyelids, and what he saw was a gracefully dressed and extremely handsome brother Lao.At that glance, Yelu Qingzhuang's heart couldn't help but tremble.With this appearance alone, it is no wonder that Emperor Yong'an doted on him so much.

Zhuo Ji looked at Yelu Qingzhuang, and said in a cold tone: "Yelu Tangkuo and Yelu Buyan have disrespected me, and I have spared their lives for the sake of the 'friendship' between the two countries. Now he Is it true that I am generous to send you here?"

Yelu Qingzhuang's pupils constricted for an instant, and he hurriedly said, "Cu Chu! My father and king sent me here just to..."

Zhuo Ji raised his hand to interrupt him, as if he was too lazy to listen, and said: "The King of the Northern Man has sent off his marriage before. For the sake of the friendship between the two countries, I don't want to embarrass Your Majesty, so I will bear it. But the King of the Northern Man is too It's a bit more aggressive. I don't care how many people are in the harem of the Northern Man King, but His Majesty's harem..." Zhuo Ji smiled faintly, "If you enter the palace, I will invite you to the Leng Palace."

Seeing his appearance, the queen mother understood what was going on, and immediately coaxed him cooperatively: "Why would the emperor allow you to go to the cold palace? If you don't agree, the emperor will not let him enter the palace."

Yelu Qingzhuang: "By the way, Qingzhuang entered the palace only for the friendship between the two countries!"

Zhuo Ji squinted at him: "Do you think I will let another member of your Yelu family enter the palace and give you a chance to insult me?"

Yelu Qingzhuang: "Hey! Qingzhuang gave up everything in the northern barbarians to come to the country, which is Qingzhuang's sincerity. This time, Qingzhuang recommended himself to the king. The ignorance of the emperor's uncle and aunt destroyed the relationship between the two countries. Qing Zhuang is willing to pay any price to restore the friendship between the two countries!"

After all, Yelu Qingzhuang kowtowed.

Zhuo Ji was unmoved: "Your Majesty promised me that in the future, as long as I don't like it in the palace, Your Majesty will not allow him to enter the palace. But you, a northern barbarian, I don't like it."

Yelu Qingzhuang straightened his upper body, looked at Shun Chuchu in despair, and begged, "Cuchu..."

Zhuo Ji stood up, looked down at Yelu Qingzhuang and said, "Don't say that you are just a grandson of the prince, even if your son of the prince of the Northern Barbarian recommends himself, this palace will not agree. Yelu Buyan said that she would not be a ghost." Let me go..." Zhuo Ji bent down, and said ruthless words to Yelu dignifiedly, "Do you think I will let a second ghost in to harm me?"

Straightening up, Zhuo Ji said, "The empress dowager, you, my aunt, the servants are going back to the palace first."

"Go."

The palace man in the house: "Respectfully send you Shunxiu."

The domineering Zhuo Ji left.

The queen mother said directly: "Send Yelu Qingzhuang out of the palace, let Yelu Washeng take good care of him, and don't ask him to do anything that will damage his status!"

"The Empress Dowager!"

Yelu Qingzhuang was forcibly sent out of the palace, and Yelu Washeng also received a warning from the Queen Mother.

The domineering aura on Zhuo Ji who returned to Fengtian Palace disappeared instantly, and when he entered the room, he said to someone who was waiting for him: "Your Majesty, this time my reputation of being domineering and domineering will spread abroad."

Emperor Yong'an smiled and said: "From now on, it will be in the country. I don't bother to care about this matter. You are my favorite servant. It is most suitable for you to come forward. I dote on you the most. If you don't ask him to enter the palace, I will listen to you."

Zhuo Ji sat on Emperor Yong'an's lap: "My reputation is ruined, how can Your Majesty compensate me?"

Emperor Yong'an: "I will give you whatever you want!" He quickly added, "I have it."

Zhuo Ji: "I want to eat hot pot."

Emperor Yong'an: "Zhang Xian, please go down and prepare hot pot."

"Yes!"
