My country, you can pinch it

"Little Eunuch Yuan... are you okay?"

Before the imperial doctor came, the little eunuch couldn't help but slipped in under the pretext of delivering water when Qin Hai was flattering Emperor Shun.

At this moment, Emperor Shun had vented his dissatisfaction, but he became more lenient, and the palace people dared to be a little more courageous.

Zhu Yuanfeng sat up slowly, as if he was in pain, his face showed a trace of unbearable suffering, then he supported the little eunuch's hand, and said in a hoarse voice: "It's okay, where is the emperor?"

The little eunuch said: "Eunuch Qin accompanied the emperor to watch the New Year ceremony."

"Annual gift?"

"Yes." The little eunuch looked outside the bedroom and said in a low voice, "Little Eunuch Yuan, you have to be careful, what Eunuch Qin showed the emperor was the annual gift from King Ning."

"Prince Ning's gift...what is it?"

The little eunuch leaned closer to his ear and whispered twice, "The slave also saw it by accident."

Zhu Yuanfeng narrowed his eyes slightly, then lifted the quilt, and was about to get off the dragon bed.

The little eunuch was startled, quickly grabbed him, and worriedly said: "The emperor ordered someone to invite the imperial physician, Mr. Yuan, you will be fine if you lie down for a while. To be honest, don't touch the bad luck. The emperor saw King Ning's gift, You must be furious, and your going just hit Qin Hai's way."

Zhu Yuanfeng shook his head, "Thank you, but I have to go and see."

"But your body..."

"It doesn't matter." The pain in Zhu Yuanfeng's eyes flashed away, and soon it was calm again. Today, Emperor Shun was merciful, and he didn't get out of bed, probably because he heard the sound of keeping the year.

He looked at the rumpled first-grade eunuch uniform on the ground, "Help me get dressed, okay?"

"Yes, yes." The little eunuch quickly knelt down, picked up his clothes and put them on for him.

Zhu Yuanfeng straightened his collar and cuffs, smoothed the folds, and then walked out of the bedroom. At first, his steps were small and unsteady, but after a few steps, he seemed to get used to the secret pain, or became numb, and walked smoothly.

He hated the entire Liu family's royal family deeply, saw through the corruption and corruption, and only felt that this Dashun dynasty was hopeless, and it was exactly the same as the last dynasty of Emperor Ai.

He was originally full of expectations for Yang Shenxing, but today, there was an urgent order from the Yunzhou riots, and King Duan was still using the New Deal as his achievement in inviting the crown prince, so he was only in despair about the New Deal.

Whether it is the imperial examination or the eunuch, there seems to be no difference with him.

In comparison, the rebellious and surly King Ning has become a clear stream among the Liu surnames. Although what he did before can't be called a good thing, Zhu Yuanfeng is very curious and admires him for daring to send New Year's gifts like this. courage.

He doesn't care about the body of the walking dead for a long time, but if there is no hope, how can he live?

When the huge tortoise shell, which required four human resistance, was brought up, the surrounding palace servants all exclaimed, what a big tortoise shell!

And it was so green that it turned black, as if covered with moss, it was extremely ugly. In the gorgeous Dacheng Palace, under the lights, it hurts the eyes especially, it is simply a disgrace to the gentleman, you can't look directly at it!

All the palace people once again held their breaths and lowered their eyes, not daring to show their expressions to the outside, provoking the emperor's wrath.

But everyone thinks the same thing in their hearts, King Ning is really kind!

Emperor Shun's eyes suddenly narrowed. Although Liu Ke was no longer in front of him, he seemed to be able to feel that brat who disobeyed discipline and contradicted him every day knelt on the ground and laughed at him—a thousand-year-old bastard, a shrinking turtle!

"Bastard!" The slightly calm mood suddenly became bad, and he slapped the table hard.

"The emperor calm down." Qin Hai persuaded from the side, "Maybe King Ning just thinks it's for fun, not on purpose."

"Fun? Use me to make him have fun?" Emperor Shun stood up, walked to the turtle shell that could only be resisted by four people, and kicked hard, "I thought I would restrain myself a little when I went outside. I understand what I mean. I have worked so hard, I never thought that such a bastard who doesn't know what to do, should have been thrown into the potty and drowned in the first place!"

"What a guts, does he think I won't touch him?" As if still puzzled, Emperor Shun kicked the tortoise shell as Liu Ke again, but it seemed that the force was too strong, and the surface of the tortoise shell suddenly appeared. There were cracks, and then the green thing turned black, and the extremely ugly thing fell off piece by piece.

"Hey, Your Majesty, the tortoise's shell is cracked." Qin Hai said.

Emperor Shun frowned and stared at the ugly lump in front of him, his cloudy face flickered under the light, and then he raised his foot and kicked towards the crack, a corner of the burnt shell flew off, finally revealing the gray and white inside. .

Seeing this, Emperor Shun seemed to understand something, and finally became interested. He exerted force on his feet one after another, and the turtle shells immediately fell off like mottled statues. After a while, the clean and tidy ground was a mess. Of course, Emperor Shun It's not much better, the dragon robe is full of gray stains.

"Your Majesty, why don't you let the servant come, I hurt your foot." Qin Hai persuaded from the side.

"Get out!" Emperor Shun was kicking vigorously, he was so angry by his three unfilial sons that he didn't go well tonight, and spread all over here, even the dragon crown was crooked.

Finally, all the ugly black and green mud shells peeled off, revealing the intact tortoise shell inside, which turned out to be off-white, which surprised Emperor Shun.

"The tortoise bears a different armor and can communicate with the gods. It can be used for divination, and there will be no disaster." At this time, a figure slowly walked out from the bedroom, thin and thin, with a pale face and a soft color that has not faded .

As soon as Emperor Shun saw him, he smiled concernedly: "Yuan'er, didn't you let you lie down? Why did you come down? What about the imperial doctor, when will you come?" He retracted his feet, stood up straight, and calmed down the pain caused by the violent movement just now. With an unstable breath, the two palace servants quickly straightened his robes and put on the tiara for him.

Qin Hai hurriedly told the palace servants, "Hurry up and urge the imperial physician."

Zhu Yuanfeng didn't look at him, but just lowered his head and said with a blushing face, "Your Majesty is sympathetic, this servant is fine, didn't you just agree to watch the year with the Emperor?"

"It's fine." Emperor Shun didn't care, took the tea Qin Hai handed over, took a sip and said, "What did you mean just now?"

"Your Majesty, the white tortoise is called a divine tortoise in the folks. It is auspicious and will appear in a prosperous and peaceful world. After death, the tortoise shell is left with strange pictures and characters. Using this for divination, it is generally auspicious." Zhu Yuanfeng said unhurriedly.

Emperor Shun was quite interested, "Really?"

"This is the case in folklore, and it is also recorded in ancient books. If the emperor is interested, you can ask the Qin Tianjian for detailed questions. Forgive me for my lack of knowledge and lack of knowledge."

Observing the sky at night, predicting secrets, and divination are all the unique skills of this Qin Tianjian. Emperor Shun was a little skeptical. With Liu Ke's temperament, such a bastard, he would be so kind to give him an auspicious white turtle?

He circled the tortoise shell, saw the messy mud on the ground, and thought of the dirty black and green when he just picked it up, he suddenly laughed, "It really is that bastard thing can do it. Things, this is deliberately against me, you have to get angry with me before you dare to let out your awkward thoughts."

Although he still didn't want to be seen, he still scolded the bastard, but his tone had turned into a sneer, and the emperor's mood was like clouds and rain, "Yuan'er, come here and take a look with me. Qin Hai, let someone clean it up quickly." , the filth all over the floor, wouldn't it defile the tortoise?"

Qin Hai was stunned. He originally wanted to take advantage of King Ning's ceremony to make Emperor Shun furious, and it would be better to kill Zhu Yuanfeng, but he didn't expect such an ending.

How did this green-haired tortoise shell turn into a tortoise?

"Come here, recruit Qin Tianjian."

Emperor Shun was suspicious, even if he believed Zhu Yuanfeng, he had to listen to it again with his own ears, and then consider how to reward Liu Ke.

New Year's Eve was supposed to be a day for family reunion, but because of Emperor Shun's anger, everyone in the court and even the harem dared to live in peace and security, and the Qin Tianjian took the turn of the wind and fire in a short while, without saying a word First kowtow to apologize, "I am late, please forgive me."

"It's okay, take a good look at the things in front of me for me, what's going on?"

The ground has been cleaned up, and the large off-white tortoise shell is placed firmly, with some plaster on it, as if it has just been thrown out of the soil.

Seeing this, Qin Tianjian was concerned. If he still wanted to keep the black hat and get through this year safely, he must not talk nonsense, so he pretended to examine the turtle shell carefully, and then looked at Shun in surprise. Emperor, "Your Majesty, this is the armor of the tortoise. It is rare to meet in a hundred years. I don't know where it came from?"

Emperor Shun said lightly: "Ai Qing thinks so too?"

It seems that someone has already mentioned that Emperor Shun recruited him just to prove it. Qin Tianjian said: "Exactly, Your Majesty. The white tortoise's armor can communicate with the gods. Look, the crack on its back is like a painting. The map of mountains and rivers and the country, one horizontal and one vertical are mountains and rivers, which are transformed by God's will, and cannot be obtained by human beings.

Now that I am sure, Emperor Shun finally showed his joy, "If you are so clever, why not test one for Ai Qing?"

"Dare to ask what the emperor wants to test?"

"What to test... Then I have to think about it." Emperor Shun turned around and asked, "Yuan'er, why don't you say one."

Zhu Yuanfeng was taken aback, "Me?"

"Yeah, just say it casually, it doesn't matter."

Zhu Yuanfeng said: "Then let's test this new policy."

Emperor Shun patted the dragon chair and said: "Okay, Yuan'er really deserves to be a scholar who cares about the country and the people, just test this."

Qin Tianjian agreed, sitting in this position, if he didn't have two brushes, he would have been pulled down countless times.

He sat in front of the tortoise shell, looking at the cracks that Shang Jinling ordered people to burn at will, as if he could observe the secrets of heaven. After a while, he threw out a copper coin, and said: "Your Majesty, look at the location of the copper coin."

Emperor Shun got off the dragon chair, along with Qin Hai and Zhu Yuanfeng, and saw that the copper coin was stuck in the deepest and longest crack. Emperor Shun turned his face sideways, "What do you mean?"

"The New Deal is Dashun's biggest national policy at the moment. It is in line with the intention of the copper coins to fall here. Your Majesty, the length of this crack shows that the New Deal will last for a long time. If anything can stand the test of time, it will have a long history."

"The test of time..." Emperor Shun muttered to himself, and then sneered, "Why, isn't Aiqing here at the dinner today? The Yunzhou riots are the result of the time test of the New Deal!" At the end, he was already angry , it seems that this nonsense Qin Tianjian will be dragged down in the next moment, and he will not be able to pass this year.

Qin Tianjian's heart skipped a beat, and he was so frightened that he almost threw himself to the ground and begged for mercy, but in the end he survived forcefully and said calmly: "Don't worry, your majesty, take a closer look. Although the crack is long, it's not all smooth sailing. Branches are constantly splitting, big and small, long and short, which indicates that the New Deal is like this crack, there will always be big and small difficulties and ups and downs, but in the end we will move forward bravely.”

What he said was so good that Qin Tianjian felt that he was convinced even himself. He didn't believe that Emperor Shun would be angry, and when he thought of this, his chest puffed up, and this confident look really made the emperor calm down.

"Aiqing has worked hard, well said, reward."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, I have no regrets in my life for being able to see this divine turtle!"

"It was sent by King Ning." Emperor Shun said.

Qin Tianjian was taken aback, King Ning?Oh, he almost forgot that besides King Duan and King Jing, there is also such a demon king.

Seeing his expression, Emperor Shun smiled, "Go and receive the reward."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, I will take my leave." The moment Qin Tianjian was walking out of the palace gate, he finally let out his breath, who would have known that his back was already wet with sweat.

In the hall, Emperor Shun waved his hand, and everyone retreated except Zhu Yuanfeng.

As soon as the people left, Emperor Shun sneered, "It's all nonsense."

"Emperor?" Xiao Yuan looked at him in surprise.

Emperor Shun pinched his face and said: "What white turtle, I don't believe this, it's just a burnt mark."

"Since this is the case, why does the emperor still..."

"It's rare for Lao Qi to find such a big tortoise, at least it has lived for hundreds of years,,. Although this bastard scolded me, because of this kind of heart, I forgave him. By the way, this bastard has a true temperament and hasn't forgotten me." Emperor Shun said with a smile, "You propose a generous reward for me and send it to someone."

"Yes."

"Yuan'er, do you want to visit the northwest?"

Zhu Yuanfeng raised his head suddenly and looked at Emperor Shun in shock.

Seeing him stunned, Emperor Shun joked, "Why, are you stupid?"

"The emperor wants me to leave the palace?"

"I don't want to part with it either, but I don't want the second or sixth child to reach out to the seventh child. After the spring, you can go to Yongliang for me to see what the kid has done. Besides, the Xiongnu It's time to call, next year will not be an easy year, let Qi Feng guard the Shamen Pass for me, I don't want to have to rely on Shangwei in the end, and return the military power back!"

"Yes, the servant obeys the emperor's arrangement, and will live up to the emperor's entrustment." Zhu Yuanfeng lowered his head, trying to hide his excitement.

"I heard from Qin Hai that there are parents and younger brothers in Yuan'er's family?"

For a moment, the joy that was still in time remained in his heart, leaving only a chill, Zhu Yuanfeng calmed down and said, "Yes."

"I never treat people around me badly, let alone you, rewards, gold and silver, fertile land, they can reward whatever they need, don't be polite to me." Emperor Shun said affectionately touching his hand.

"The slave understands."

When the midnight bell rang, it was finally Chinese New Year.
