Imperial City

On the second day of the morning court, there was another debate. The Taifu party and the Shaofu came and went, and they were at loggerheads. The emperor's people watched quietly.

The two parties had almost quarreled, and Yan Zhengji presented the list of corrupted money found in Zhao Taifu's house.

He has been a minister for five years, and under the rockery in the back garden of the Zhao Mansion, there is actually half a year's tax of Chu Chu buried.

The evidence is so strong that no one dares to intercede anymore.

The emperor had killed many people a few days ago, the execution ground in front of the Meridian Gate could not be cleaned, and the executioner's knives were blunted.

In the early dynasty, the empress dowager announced the emperor into the Shoukang Palace early.

The grandparents and grandchildren in Changle Fuhuali had a conversation, and half an hour later, the emperor left the Shoukang Palace.

The court opened.

Perhaps because some agreement was reached between grandparents and grandchildren, Zhao Taifu's punishment in this case was not as severe as that in Yu Qing's case.

Mostly because of the queen, only the man of the main family was killed, and the rest of the eight clans were all exiled.

The people all know that the emperor loves his wife deeply, and the head of the state is greedy, so he can forgive him.

These people have completely forgotten how when the Yu Qing case was full of blood, they looked at new things and lamented the ruthlessness of the emperor at the same time.

The folks also compiled many books about the love between the emperor and the empress, and the storytellers in the teahouse slapped the table and talked nonsense.

Talk about how romantic it is to meet the emperor and empress for the first time, how difficult it is to have no children in the middle palace for six years, and finally still have to flatter the emperor's affection and righteousness.

"You will always be my queen." This sentence was mistakenly made up to be true, and it was spread all over the capital.

Countless boudoir women want to enter the palace as concubines and concubines, just to meet the affectionate and handsome emperor. Everyone wants to be the second middle palace.

The truth is cruel and ugly.

Inside the Kunning Palace, the envious Zhonggong sneered endlessly.

Under the imperial decree, her whole life will be buried in this luxurious palace, and she will become a shield in the emperor's hand in the name of empress.

Of course she knew why the emperor didn't abolish herself, there was no deep love between them, but it was only because that person found it troublesome.

If it is abolished, it must be established again. Without this Zhao Tianxian, there will be another Zhao Tianxian. Instead of doing this, why bother yourself.

So Feng Yin received it, and the door of Kunning Palace was closed.

The emperor decreed that concubine Jinshu should be imperial concubine, concubine De should be concubine Hui, concubine Ning should be concubine Hui, and concubine Qian should be concubine Qian.

Concubine De is a noble concubine but she is in charge of the affairs of the harem, and Concubine Shu is an imperial concubine and can only assist from the side.

The layout of the harem is very similar to that of the court.

The Zhao party was weak, and Yan Zhengji took the place of Zhao Taifu. Before he turned [-], he became a country's Taifu, with one person under ten thousand.

Concubine De has a gentle and stable temperament, her father is only a fourth-rank civil servant, but he is very knowledgeable, so he accepted Yan Zhengji, a student who is up to date.

Concubine Shu's father, Ma Qiyuan, still wants to fight, and this one seems to have the support of the emperor, so it is not easy to win.

Kill those who should be killed, demote those who should be demoted, and promote those who should be promoted. In the current court, [-]% are neutral and mediocre, [-]% are capable officials and strong officials, and [-]% are greedy villains.

The court structure that the emperor wanted was finally formed, and his life was much smoother.

When you are free, you will inevitably have to toss.

Search for summer seedlings in spring, hunt in autumn and winter (hunting), on the fifth day of February, after the vernal equinox of the lunar calendar, Emperor Xude goes to the Royal Hunting Garden - Mulan Paddock for spring search.

Mulan is also called whistle deer. The whistle deer is a fake deer head worn by deer hunters. The hunter imitates the sound of deer courting to lure the deer to come and shoot them.

Mulan Hunting has the meaning of testing the imperial guards and training the children of the royal family.

Three years after the first emperor's reign, he gradually indulged in sensuality, and the dragon's body was not as good as before. Not to mention the winter hunting, even the great spring hunting was cancelled.

The current accession to the throne was in June four years ago, and within half a year of ascension to the throne, an order was issued to the royal family, the noble children of the Twelve Banners of Chu, and the [-] imperial guards went to Chengde for winter hunting.

Wei Qi was not present at that winter hunt, but he only heard of the humaneness of the accompanying driver, and his demeanor today, few people in the Great Chu can match.

After the winter hunting, the court took on a new look, not to mention the generals, but even the civil servants who went to watch the hunting suddenly had a lofty ambition to kill all the enemies for the Great Chu.

Every year since then, the emperor has set up two hunting rounds. If the previous year is spring hunting and autumn hunting, the next year is summer seedling hunting and winter hunting.

This year it's spring hunting again.

The high-ranking concubines in the harem were looking forward to it, waiting for the will of the escort.

The hunt lasted for more than twenty days, and the Holy Majesty would be extravagant and troublesome, and he always only brought two concubines to accompany him.

Although it's hard work, who doesn't expect half of the grace of the emperor in more than [-] days.

But this time the emperor said to Concubine Jing: "It's cold in early spring, you are so delicate, you must suffer from the cold, but you are not beautiful. Stay in the palace to rest, and don't need to accompany you."

They didn't bring any of them.

Without concubines, there are only two court ladies in front of the imperial court. It is impossible to go to the palace maids for the past twenty days.

No, yes, there is Wei Qi!

In the past, the daughter of a military general and one of the civil servants each picked one, and they were replaced every year, and they were never repeated.

Now that I got a new gadget, I tried to find some high-sounding excuses, but it wasn't because I thought expensive girls were competing for favor and caused a lot of trouble.

The emperor said that he would not bring his concubines, and all the beauties did not dare to argue with the Holy Majesty, so they had to endure it.

Neither the left nor the right can give birth. A slave is nothing more than being angry.

Day after day dilutes the bloody smell in the Meridian Gate, and whenever the hunt is approaching, the emperor's mood will be better than usual, so the servants gradually feel relieved, and An Sheng is on duty.

The sacred intention came from the Qianqing Palace, and in the past few days, everyone looked at Wei Qi even more ambiguously in the whole palace.

The latter was still immersed in the joy of being able to leave the palace, and didn't feel that there was anything wrong with it. He just thought, after all, he followed two palace ladies, so there was nothing to panic about.

He had never been promoted to the imperial court before, and he accompanied him on patrols, so he couldn't get his turn in Chengde hunting.

Trapped in the Forbidden Palace for nearly ten years, how can I not show my face if I can go out now.

Wei Qi is like a bee in a daze, a little bee shuttling among the flowers, wandering around behind Anxi all day long, asking from time to time: "Master An, what else do you need?"

It was like this when he was on duty, and he lost his composure when he went back to his room after he was on duty. He emptied all the clothes in his suitcase and folded three or four packages before he finally felt at ease.

I'm going out of the palace!Thinking about it, Wei Qi burst into joy, and stood with his head bowed in the corner, gloomily.

Except for him, none of the imperial servants had ever been to Chengde, and now seeing this man's stupid appearance, they all feel that he is very naive.

Thinking back, they were so happy when they first went back, but after three or four days, they couldn't be happier anymore, they only hoped to return to the palace as soon as possible.

There is no such thing as coke, the next twenty days are still very difficult.

Wei Qi is a person who can hold back hatred and pain but cannot hide joy.

He has been in high spirits these past three or four days, and the smile in his eyes is so obvious that even people like the emperor, who manages everything every day and doesn't care much about the affairs around him, can see it.

The Zhao family was down, and the weather was getting warmer again. It was really a good time to indulge in horseback riding, and it was the time for the emperor to feel comfortable.

So five days later, during the interval between the incident, the emperor had a bad intention to tease him.

The emperor said: "I will leave the palace in three days, you stay."

Wei Qiyi's still dazed eyes widened instantly, and his surprised and unexpected expression looked a little cute and pitiful.

The emperor smiled in his heart, but his face was serious.

If it were changed to a month ago, when hundreds of members of the Yu family of the Zhao family were still alive, Wei Qi would have the courage to ask why he was not brought along.

Now, now he won't, even though he knows that the Holy One is special to him.

Wei Qi drooped his eyelids, and replied: "Yes, the servant obeyed."

He was so obedient, the emperor found it strange, and couldn't help teasing people.

"You are bold, not calm enough, and really not obedient."

Wei Qi replied in a low voice: "Yes."

He didn't take the usual way, but the emperor choked on it. He might not be able to go without this thing for twenty days, and it would be difficult to ride a tiger.

"You can go if you want."

"Ah?" Wei Qi raised his eyes in a daze.

"You're not stupid, you should know what to do."

Of course Wei Qi is not stupid, he is a smart person, and if he said such things on such occasions, there is nothing else besides that.

But if he really wanted to take the initiative, he felt aggrieved, as if Wei Qi was fighting with Chen Xiaoyi, and in the end Chen Xiaoyi was beaten with a bruised nose and swollen face, and left the stage sadly.

This is submission.

He was imaginative, his face was blood red at first, and then turned pale.

It was a huge temptation for him to go out of the palace to see the wild scenery of Chengde. He was not allowed to go in the first year, and he might not be able to go in the future.

Wei Qi's eyes revealed the meaning of struggling.

The emperor watched indifferently, his expression gradually turned cold, he really didn't understand why a mere trifle caused Wei Qi such pain, he had to think twice and resist hard.

It's clearly a taste, and he rarely uses this kind of taste on his concubines.

But if she were a charming girl, she should have learned how to explain and understand the language, but this abominable thing is going to scare people.

Explain the meaning of venison, make up nonsense to intercede, send pomegranate to pull the heart, and engrave peace to show sincerity.

I don't believe you don't understand, you clearly understand, but you don't want to do it.

As it is now, he can't be beaten, he can't be killed, and the dog is perfunctory from time to time, as if he has been greatly wronged.

The emperor was bored for a moment, his brows were slightly frowned, his eyes were indifferent, and there was no sign of joking anymore.

Since you wish to stay in Qianqing Palace for the rest of your life, then you can stay, and never leave the palace.

The emperor got up from him, and the good mood he had just teased disappeared completely.

If you want him to be sent to the Inner Court Supervisor to learn the rules, even if he is soft-hearted, he will not stay.

Wei Qi is an ordinary slave who eats hard but not soft, and is greedy for life and afraid of death.

The emperor teased him with kind words, and he wanted to be pampered and coquettish, thinking about his integrity and his dignity and struggling.

But if the emperor turned cold and wanted to punish him, Wei Qi would immediately regret it and be afraid, and toss for half a year. At this time, he has no backbone, as long as he lives well, he doesn't want to suffer any more innocent disasters.

So the emperor shouted out his joy, and asked Wei Qi to grab the cuffs of his obscene clothes.

At this time, the two were not too far away, he raised his upper body, approached the emperor's neck, and sucked lightly on the protruding Adam's apple.

An Xi who was standing on the porch squeaked outside, but she didn't wait for the order from the Holy Majesty, and she didn't know whether she wanted to go in to carry someone.

"Your Majesty." He called softly, and waited for a while, but no one paid any attention to him.

Well, it's not over yet.

He flicked his whisk, opened his mouth wide and yawned, and continued to wait peacefully.
