Love in the Red Chamber, Drunken Water, Jade Dream

Chapter 56, The Emperor's Mind

Walking forward, Shui Rong looked at Daiyu indifferently, and said casually: "It turns out that you made the empress angry again, it seems that Chang Ping really let Chang Ping take good care of the people in the palace."

Concubine Duan took advantage of the situation and said: "Such a servant who doesn't know good and bad, staying in the palace will be a disaster, and he will be sent out early to be clean." Shui Rong smiled coldly, and said in a low voice: "What the empress said is that the matter of Changping has already been settled. Once it's settled, she's afraid she won't be able to offend the empress again in the future."

Turning around, Shui Rong said to Daiyu coldly: "I would like to advise you, you are not tolerated in this palace..." Before Shui Rong finished speaking, Chang Ping hurried over with the maid and took a look. , said: "It's all Changping's fault. Originally, Changping asked Miss Lin to wait here, but who knows that she has delayed the empress's business."

Concubine Duan pretended to be generous and said: "Since the princess ordered it, it's fine for me to look at it for the princess's sake, but I won't be able to speak easily in the future."

Chang Ping said: "Your Majesty is usually a magnanimous person, so why would she care about these trivial matters?" With a slight smile, Concubine Duan said: "Okay, I'm going back too." Leng Leng Glancing at Daiyu, Concubine Duan left holding the maid's hand.

Daiyu helplessly said to Changping: "Thank you princess, Daiyu really didn't expect to encounter such a thing." Changping said: "Actually, I shouldn't let you come out with me. In the palace, the relationship between two empresses The matter has nothing to do with the girl, but who knows that she will hold on to you, it's just... Miss Lin, let's go back."

Turning his head, Chang Ping said to Shui Rong: "Fourth Brother, don't you still have something to do?" He hummed lightly, Shui Rong didn't make a sound, turned and left.

Daiyu sadly said to Chang Ping: "It's really a disaster from the sky, this time the princess is in trouble again." Chang Ping said with a smile: "You are being polite when you say this, and you can't afford to offend or hide. I will see your empress later. Let's take a detour."

With a wry smile, Daiyu said in a low voice: "If you don't look up, see you, in this harem..." "Okay." Chang Ping said: "Let's go back, and we'll talk about it later."

In the Hall of Mental Cultivation, the emperor had finished meeting the ministers who celebrated his birthday, stretched his waist, and said to Dai Quan who was waiting on him: "I got up early in the morning, and I am really tired until now. It seems It’s not okay to be old, Dai Quan, make me a cup of ginseng tea.”

Dai Quan responded, and gave some instructions to the maid, then turned around and said, "I think the emperor is in the prime of life, and it is the time when he is in full bloom, how can he say he is old?"

Glancing at Dai Quan, the emperor sneered lightly: "I know you can't hear the truth here." Dai Quan smiled and said: "This servant is indeed telling the truth."

With a snort, the emperor said: "I don't know what you're thinking, okay, what's the matter." Dai Quan stepped forward carefully and said: "Your Majesty, the servants who have sent you birthday gifts have all been sorted out. Don't look."

After taking a sip of tea, the emperor said: "Okay, bring me the list to have a look." Dai Quan responded quickly and handed over the list.After silently looking at it for a few moments, the emperor said, "Where is King Jingjing's."

Dai Quan said cautiously: "My lord's is on another list." The emperor frowned, gave Dai Quan a cold look with his wise eyes, and said sharply, "No matter what, he is still my son."

Dai Quan knelt down and said: "You should die, you should die." Ignoring it, the emperor turned his back on the dragon case, looked at the motionless Dai Quan and said, "Didn't you hear what I said? .”

Only then did Dai Quan come to his senses, and hurriedly said: "Your servant, go and get it." After a while, Dai Quan came out with an ebony box in his hands, and said to the emperor in fear: "Your Majesty, this is a gift from the Prince of Beijing. "

Silently glanced at it, the emperor didn't open it, just stared at Dai Quan and said in a low voice: "Remember, I have eleven sons, and no one can change this." Dai Quan nodded hurriedly: " This servant has written it down." Without looking at Dai Quan, the emperor waved his hand and said, "Go down."

Just as Dai Quan was about to step back, the emperor said, "Put this casket back too." Dai Quan looked at the dignified emperor suspiciously, stepped forward to pick up the casket, and retreated out without daring to make a sound.Slowly leaning on the dragon case, the emperor didn't make a sound, but let out a long sigh of relief.

The shadow of the tree gradually shortened, and Dai Quan, who was at the door, couldn't help yawning. Last night, he served the emperor to review the papers. This morning, the emperor got up earlier than usual, and he had to help change clothes, take a bath, and meet the powerful officials. Just now, he was inexplicable After being scolded for a while, Dai Quan's heart was always wandering, and he felt that he was much more tired than before.

"Since you're tired, why don't the manager sit down and rest for a while." Hearing a peaceful voice slowly say from behind, Dai Quan hurriedly turned around and saluted, "I have seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Shui Hao waved his hand, and said in an easy-going way: "Get up, I want to report the luncheon with my father, I don't know my father..." Dai Quan glanced in, and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, wait a moment, this slave Just go in and tell me."

With a slight smile, Shui Hao said: "Then I will be the boss." Dai Quan hurriedly said: "Your Highness killed the servant." After speaking, he walked in softly, and after a while, Dai Quan came out and said to Shui Hao: "Your Highness, Your Majesty, please come in."

Shui Hao walked in with Dai Quan, and saw the emperor sitting behind the dragon case, looking over with piercing eyes, his majestic face showed no trace of fatigue.

After seeing the ceremony, Shui Hao explained the details of the luncheon to the emperor in detail, and said in a low voice: "Father, what orders do you have?" The emperor said slowly: "Well, you did a good job, I see Let's go."

Hearing the emperor's praise, Shui Hao raised his eyebrows with joy, and hurriedly said: "This is what I should do, not to mention that today is the birthday of my father, I should make my father happy."

The emperor glanced at Shui Hao, stood up, and said slowly: "Hao'er, this country's major affairs cannot be relaxed for a while, just like the saying 'Being a monk for a day hits the clock for a day', although it is vulgar and straightforward, it is also true. Li, I want to leave you a safe and stable country."

Silently comprehending what the emperor said just now, Shui Hao's heart couldn't help jumping up, he stepped forward and said: "Father, you should also pay attention to your body, tell your ministers what to do."

Just as the emperor was about to speak, he saw Dai Quan walk in with a strange expression, and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, the Secretary of the Household Department has something urgent to see the Emperor." Frowning, the Emperor said: "Xuan." Shui Hao looked uneasy He cast a glance at the emperor, then slowly took a few steps back.

Hubu Shangshu hurried in, saw the emperor knelt down and said, "I have seen the emperor." The emperor said expressionlessly, "What's the matter with Hu Aiqing?"

The Minister of the Household Department thought for a while and said: "The minister is here to plead guilty." The emperor's dignified face was slightly moved, and he said: "What is the crime?" He hanged himself in the mansion, and his father, Old General Liu, and his wife made a fuss to the household department early this morning, saying that Liu Donghuai was... forced to death by the court, and now he is still staying in the household department, asking the court to give him an explanation."

The emperor was stunned, and then said calmly: "You know why." The Minister of the Household Department said: "The minister has asked people to quickly and thoroughly investigate, and generally understand the ins and outs of the matter. Liu Donghuai borrowed the Treasury Bank of the Household Department to buy a house. Now The emperor ordered the North Prince to clear the debt owed to the treasury, and the North prince acted vigorously, saying that the inside can only be settled first, and ordered the officials of the household department to pay all the money owed to the treasury within ten days, otherwise they would kill their heads and ransack the house. After leaving the house, I couldn’t get all the money in my hands, and as the servant of the household department, Prince Bei was in a hurry, maybe I couldn’t think about it for a while..."

Without going on, Husitu, the Minister of the Household Department, squeezed out a few tears sadly, and said: "It's all the minister's fault. Liu Shilang works conscientiously in the Household Department and has always had a good reputation. It was forced by the situation to borrow money at the beginning. Wrong but not guilty of death, who knows that he can't think about it, he went to a dead end, and even hurt the reputation of the court. General Liu lost his voice in pain in the lobby of the household department, saying that he had been born and died for the court all his life, but he would have gray hair when he was old People send black-haired people to the end."

The emperor did not make a sound, but the hand holding the vermilion pen showed distinct knuckles. Liu Donghuai's father was the bodyguard of the late emperor, just as he said, being the late emperor was a life-and-death experience. I told myself to treat the Liu family well, but now...

As soon as the palm was pressed, the emperor stood up all of a sudden, and said sharply: "Send me to King Beijing."
