My surname is Wang, my neighbor Wu Dalang

Li Gang and others bid farewell to the emperor and left the palace.

In the imperial study room, as soon as Li Gang and others left, Guo Yuan, who was in tears, walked out of the inner room with Zhu Lian and the other daughters of Chongde.

Guo Yuan prostrated herself at the emperor's feet, tearfully said: "Your Majesty, I don't know how to repay His Majesty..."

Wang Lin helped Guo Yuan up with a smile, then hugged her in his arms and comforted her softly, "The reason why I say this is because I don't want to see Guo Xiang be burdened by gossip while dedicating himself to the country. .

Besides, I didn't tell lies. Which of the women around me doesn't agree with me?
Guo Yuan is like this, and so are you. I hope that from now on, you will not have any ideological burden in your heart, and everything will be mine. "

Zhu Lian and Chongde bowed down together, with tears in their eyes.

Their identities are similar to Guo Yuan's. They used to be members of the former Song royal family, but now they marry into the harem, and they still risk some criticism.

Recently, Guo Yuan's father and daughter have been criticized and attacked by the government and the opposition, and they feel uncomfortable.

"Okay, don't cry, what are you crying for? As long as I'm here, those gossips are fine. I guarantee that no one will dare to mention this matter again."

Wang Lin waved his hands and said, "Lian'er, you are good at government affairs, what do you think of this case and the turmoil that caused the party dispute in the court?"

Zhu Lian shook his head slightly: "Your Majesty, the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, how dare ministers and concubines speak nonsense?"

Wang Lin couldn't help but laugh: "The so-called prohibition of political affairs in the harem is to prevent the women in the harem from becoming the second Empress Lu or Wu Zetian, and it doesn't mean that you can't even discuss state affairs with me. Why are you so pretentious?"

Zhu Lian walked over with a smile, took Guo Yuan's hand, stood in front of Wang Lin together and said, "Since Your Majesty asked my concubine to speak, I will give my personal opinion."

"Your Majesty, the concubine heard that Zhang Shiru's mother, Mrs. Xue, had a tyrannical personality and was extremely cruel to the servants in the mansion. In the past, when Zhang Shiru's father was alive, she beat and scolded the servants and maidservants, and even killed several of them.

And as she got older, her tyrannical temperament not only did not restrain, but intensified.

In addition, the concubine also heard that the Xue family was sent by Zhang Shiru's father Zhang Cheng'an to practice in a nunnery before Zhang Shiru came of age.

The concubine thought that there must be a reason for this.Perhaps this is an entry point for this case? "

Zhu Lian blinked playfully: "Your Majesty, courtiers and concubines are just the opinions of women and children, not necessarily right."

Wang Lin's eyes lit up.

Sure enough, Zhu Lian was the female Zhuge beside him, with a delicate and clear mind, and she looked at problems very differently from other females.

This is an important reason why he arranged for Zhu Lian to assist him in handling state affairs in the imperial study.

Things about the Zhang family have changed over time, and the time span is very long. It is difficult to ask Dali Temple or Yushitai to investigate, and Deng Pinzhong is unwilling to touch the deep-seated problems behind it, so it is even more difficult to investigate.

But for Yanqing's Jinyiwei, this is basically not a difficult task.

Wang Lin has always been reluctant for Yanqing's Jinyiwei to intervene in the case, because he himself did not want to admit it, for fear that it would be very embarrassing to find out that the mastermind behind the scenes was one of Zhang Junzhong.

Seeing the emperor looking at him with burning eyes, Zhu Lianqiao looked at Feixia, but hurried up and whispered in the emperor's ear: "Your Majesty, the ministers and concubines are going to bed again and again...Your Majesty, it is better for your majesty to be exposed to the rain and dew, otherwise the ministers and concubines... Besides, there is a newcomer waiting anxiously for His Majesty in the palace..."

Wang Lin was startled, and Duan Wanqing's delicate face could not help appearing in front of him.

With a flick of a finger, it's almost a month since the class teacher returned to Beijing.

Busy with state affairs, he really forgot that there was a newcomer in the palace who needed to be settled.

The actual canonization edict has been drawn up, just waiting for his blessing.

Wang Lin smiled, looked up at Zhu Lian and said, "Lian'er, tell Li Lan your opinion, and ask her to remind Yan Qing to dig deeper, but the matter is of great importance. Only after I report can I proceed.”

"Got it. Your Majesty, go, go!"

The three daughters of Zhu Lian pushed and shoved the emperor.

The female officer next to him, Shangguan Qing, was very envious.

The atmosphere in the emperor's harem is very harmonious and warm.What is rare is that all the women can understand each other, everything revolves around the best interests of the emperor and the safety of the harem, and there has never been any jealousy.

Shangguan Qing also knew that this was inseparable from the sincerity and sincerity the emperor treated the women with.

"Your Majesty's emotional intelligence is very high." Shangguan Qing said quietly in his heart, using a novel vocabulary she learned from the emperor.

The emperor hated using eunuchs as servants, and the one who actually served the emperor was the head of the female officials in the harem.

The communication between the emperor and his ministers basically depends on Shangguanqing.

……

Wang Lin went to the palace where Duan Wanqing lived.

The furnishing style of the palace garden is naturally matched with all kinds of utensils and accessories in Yunnan style, but Wang Lin frowned when he saw that Duan Wanqing's palace room actually enshrined two golden Buddha statues.

Although he doesn't believe in Buddhism, he can't stop Duan Wanqing from believing in Buddhism, besides, the belief in Buddhism is something that Dali people are born with.

He just didn't feel comfortable dressing up the bedroom like a Buddhist temple.

Isn't this about making out with Duan Wanqing under the eyes of the Buddha?

It is not good to be disrespectful to Buddha.

Duan Wanqing's quiet voice suddenly came from behind: "Your Majesty, Wanqing didn't know about His Majesty's arrival, so she hasn't had time to tidy up the dormitory. Please forgive me!"

There seems to be some resentment in the words?Wang Lin's heart moved slightly.

It turned out that Duan Wanqing thought that he would place her in the palace as a decoration and would not accept her... So he enshrined a Buddha statue in the bedroom and set up a Buddhist hall. Is this to prepare for the green lantern to worship the Buddha for a lifetime?
It's no wonder that Duan Wanqing thought about other things and thought too much, after all, whoever has been left in the cold for a month and has not given an explanation for a long time will inevitably feel a little sad in his heart.

Wang Lin coughed twice, waved his hands and said, "Come here, move the Buddhist hall to the small flower hall at the back and rearrange it.

In addition, I also invited a statue of Guanyin from Xingguo Temple to Princess Jinhua, and put it on it together. "

The female deacons of the palace garden started to get busy, Duan Wanqing blushed, lowered her head and pinched the corner of her skirt, not knowing what to say.

"It's my fault, but I didn't intend to neglect you, but... I have been in Dali for a long time, and I was busy with military, political and state affairs in the court, and I didn't take time off."

Duan Wanqing didn't lift her head when she heard the words, but said sadly in her heart: "Your Majesty is so busy, he is so busy taking turns among the girls in the harem, you probably have forgotten my existence..."

It's not that Duan Wanqing insists on inquiring about the emperor's movements, but that the harem is so big, and the emperor's women are just these ones. Duan Wanqing is invited by all the women to participate in banquets and parties every day, and she often overhears the emperor's arrival last night. Who is lucky, and who should sleep in private tonight.

Seeing that Duan Wanqing didn't seem to believe it, Wang Lin cleared his throat in embarrassment: "Don't think too much, I'm here just now..."

Wang Lin originally wanted to explain a few more words patiently, but after much deliberation, he still felt that it would be too weak to say more, so he simply continued his past style, went forward and hugged Duan Wanqing in his arms.

Let's marry first and then love.

This is how it is done in Thai dramas.

Wang Lin didn't expect that Duan Wanqing's body was extremely sensitive, and he could clearly feel the woman's tremors and heart palpitations with just a little skin contact.

The thick carmine covered Duan Wanqing's whole body almost instantly, her snow-white gooseneck turned red, and she was so soft that she could not stand firmly and was on the verge of falling.

"Your Majesty, it's still early..."

Even though tension and happiness had filled her whole body, and Duan Wanqing's mind was shaken violently, she still retained her remaining rationality, struggling in vain, intending to remind the emperor that it was still broad daylight and nothing like that.

But she didn't know that the emperor never cared about this.

The female officials and deacons in the room have already retreated completely.

The door was shut tightly.

Wang Lin hugged Duan Wanqing and collapsed on the couch, and tore off the thick and bright red curtain.

"Your Majesty... um..."

"Wanqing, I will take care of you..."

……

Several cabinet ministers were appeased by the emperor.

Li Gang and others left the palace in agitation and went directly to Wu Min's residence.

Hearing the emperor's promise and comfort, Wu Min was still deeply worried.

Wu Min said: "Li Xiang, gentlemen, the old man feels that His Majesty may intentionally use the power of the new party to check and balance our so-called old party, so as to avoid the dominance of one party and the overhead of the imperial power."

Huang Qishan was stunned: "Wu Xiang, you mean to say that the movement behind this is..."

Wu Min decisively interrupted Huang Qishan's suspicion: "I don't mean that, I dare not doubt Your Majesty!
But the old man feels that this case broke out at this point in time, and if there is no one to help it, the old man will not believe it.

Zhang Jun and others have shallow foundations, but only His Majesty trusts them.With them, can there be such a large amount of energy? "

Li Gang was thoughtful, but remained silent.

However, Guo Zhishun murmured: "Everyone, are you thinking too complicatedly? Maybe the outbreak of this case was purely accidental, but it was just being used and led by others.

I have already advised His Majesty to ask Jin Yiwei to investigate this case, there must be news soon, everyone should be calm and calm.

In any case, Your Majesty treats us with great kindness, and it is better for us to keep our duty. "

In the future, the crisp voice of Shangguan Qing, a palace lady, came from the courtyard: "Your Majesty has an order!"

Li Gang and the others were slightly startled, and hurried out to listen to the order.

"Ministers Li Gang, Wu Min, Zong Ze, Guo Zhishun, Huang Qishan, listen to the order!"

Shangguanqing looked complicatedly at the old court officials kneeling in a row, Zaifu Dayan, and said with a slight smile: "Your Majesty has a decree, and the cabinet will take the lead to immediately build a Lingxiao Pavilion in the imperial city, imitating the Tang system, with the purpose of worshiping Yan is a meritorious minister who has made great achievements and contributions."

Build Lingxiao Pavilion?The emperor wants to imitate Tang Taizong Li Shimin and enshrine the portraits of heroes in the Lingxiao Pavilion?
Before Li Gang and the others could react, they heard Shangguan Qing continue: "Your Majesty has an order, Li Gang, Wu Min, Zong Ze, Guo Zhishun, and Huang Qishan, the five ministers of the court, have worked hard and made great achievements, and they are not enough to be rewarded for their merits without being knighted.

Canonize Li Gang as Duke of Min, Wu Min as Duke of Zheng, Zong Ze as Duke of Zhao, Guo Zhishun as Duke of Xun, Huang Qishan as Duke of Ji, and the painters are the portraits of the five Dukes. "

Canonized as the Duke of the state.

The first batch of heroes to enter the Lingxiao Pavilion.

The earth-shattering news shocked the faces of Li Gang and the five of them, and immediately wept bitterly, knelt down on the mountain and shouted long live.
