Qinse is in the imperial court, forgetting both favor and disgrace

On the day of Mid-Autumn Festival, the sky was clear, and at night, the full moon was hanging high. There was nothing in the palace for a day. There is nothing to hide from the banquet.

Li Lang has no uncles and brothers, so he can save a lot of entertainment. Even so, the number of people participating in the family banquet in the harem is also considerable, so it is divided into two times. The first half is the dinner party. There are seats.

Although Zhao Rang's status is not low, but fortunately there are many people, he is a unique man, hiding in the dark corner, and no one dares to take the initiative to chat with him, he eats and drinks alone with the moon, but he is not embarrassed to have nowhere shelter.

It was only occasionally that he caught a glimpse of Li Lang and Empress Na Xie respecting each other on the main seat, and he couldn't help but smile.

If it weren't for this family banquet, Zhao Rang would have never known that Li Lang's harem is so "magnificent", with everything around fat, swallows and thin, and even women with high noses and deep eyes, even if there are not three thousand beauties, there are hundreds of them I'm afraid there are.

As a man, I have to pay respect to Li Lang for his strong body and energy. The clothes and temples make his eyes tired just by looking at them——Zhao Rang laughed at himself, he couldn't even cope with four wives and concubines. , How can it compare to the emperor's ease?No wonder... I became inexplicably interested in him. Is it because you have seen your charming daughter a lot?

He made a mocking smile, poured himself a drink, acted like no one else was there, and no longer looked at the seated person, he never noticed that Li Lang was joking with Liu Pin, and glanced at him from time to time.

After the canonization, the two never met again, needless to say that Li Lang was busy with government affairs.

There is a resurgence of wars on the northern border, and food and grass are in short supply, so it is necessary to raise food from Jinling to escort the border.In addition, the last time Cao Lin was ordered to investigate the disturbance of the bandits in Chuqiu, the reward was that he succeeded the new king of Liang Guo in the north, and was eager to make military exploits to calm people's hearts.Li Lang believed in Cao Lin's judgment, but Xie Kun also got the news. He never thought that Li Lang had quietly seized his military power. .

Xie Kun even proposed to Li Lang that he hoped to marry Ziyu first before taking office. The implication was that Li Lang would bestow the marriage with the honor of the emperor, so that he could resist his father's order with the imperial decree.Hinting to Xie Kun that once Li Lang and Xie Lian break up, he will not help each other, Li Lang can only smile.

Cutting the weeds and rooting out the roots is Li Lang's preferred method. He doesn't need Xie Kun. The internal strife in the Xie family is exactly what he likes to see. Wouldn't it be better to let Xie Kun stay in Jinling and wipe out all of them?

It is not easy to conspire against one another, one hair can move the whole body, Xie Lian can hold his breath, Li Lang has no reason to move him, the idea of ​​forcibly planting the spoils once flashed, but Li Lang is still unwilling to do it, it has nothing to do with the way of a gentleman, just The Xie family has a lot of influence, if the people's hearts are not convinced, there is no doubt that someone will fish in troubled waters and make trouble with excuses.

Canonize Zhao Rang, and he is only a noble concubine next to the queen, Li Lang really intends to anger Xie Lian.Sure enough, this move made Xie Lian, a member of the third rank and the head of the minister, get sick again and refused to go to court.

Li Lang was worried that Xie Lian would bypass the court and directly use the power of Empress Xie to harm Zhao Rang in the harem. Apart from secretly sending people to protect him, he often went to Dikun Palace to find out the truth.

What amazed him was that Empress Xie changed her appearance and kept silent about Zhao Rang's affairs. Even though Li Lang was the first to mention the matter of impoliteness in the first concubine's meeting with the Tai'an Palace, Empress Xie also avoided talking about it, and went out of her way. Say him.

After Li Lang investigated, he found out that Zhao Rang had asked to see Empress Xie on his own initiative. No one knew how the process was. It is said that at that time, only the empress and the nurse who accompanied her into the palace were left in the palace, as well as an internal official, and that internal official was there. On the same day, he contracted dysentery and died.

Of course it can't be such a coincidence. Li Lang's heart sank when he heard about it. He remembered that it was the same day as Zhao Rang's heartbreak. He came to Chengxian Palace and saw Zhao Rang dressed up to welcome him. However, and they had been together for a long time, Zhao Rang didn't say a word about it.

What is the man's plan?Why do you have to hide everything from him?

The news from Nanyue also arrived, and the things arranged by Li Lang were generally smooth, but Qi Zhenxu not only wrote down the details of the Qing emperor's inquiry, but also mentioned that the land route from Panyu to Jinling was not very peaceful, so he escorted two It is really inconvenient for young children not to go through the posthouse, so they might as well switch to the waterway, but it will take longer, for fear that the children will not be able to bear the pain of the bumps.

Qi Zhenxu was just as recommended by Zhao Rang. He was cautious and cautious, which was reflected in the words and lines, leaving room for words everywhere, and the same was true when talking about the current situation in South Vietnam. If the disease cannot be eradicated, no matter how insignificant it is, it will hurt the sage.

Some places were written in a cloud of clouds and fog, with thousands of twists and turns, but Li Lang couldn't help laughing when he understood it. Qi Zhenxu tactfully confessed that he was quite troubled by the riots in Nanyue County, which was not his specialty; Shangyi Longsheng said that "the best at his job can get his position", and he said bluntly that he was pleading for Zhao Rang, but in the name of solving the chaos in South Vietnam.

Zhao Rang—Li Lang now knows that this name is enough to disturb his sanity.

At the mid-autumn night banquet, Li Lang saw that Zhao Rang looked at him from time to time at first, with mixed emotions in his heart, but when Zhao Rang was enjoying himself, he laughed at himself. This suspenseful state of mind is indeed a real torture. I don't know who was born with extraordinary talents, the more they struggle, the more bound they become, the feeling here is not humane.

The banquet ended at Xushi, and the emperor and empress moved to the back garden of Tai'an Palace with the crown prince. Only concubines and concubines above them are eligible to participate.

Li Lang, who had been paying attention to Zhao Rang, saw the helpless expression of the man shaking his head and smiling wryly after seeing the man in a daze.

After drinking for three rounds, the Empress Dowager insisted on summoning Li Ming, and only asked "her" to play the piano for fun. Although Li Lang was unwilling, he did not want to disobey his mother in trivial matters.

Li Ming entered the banquet with the piano in his arms, and the Empress Dowager offered a glass of wine first. He thanked him generously, his wonderful eyes flowed, and there was no lack of national beauty in the seat.

Du Lilang frowned slightly, he didn't know the character of this woman, but she couldn't help but pity her because of her mother's resemblance.

The sound of the zither started, but before the melody was formed, Cheng Yaojin came out suddenly, and Zhao Rang said "slowly", got up and left the table, and saluted the queen mother and the emperor: "I would like to harmonize with the flute, I wonder if it is possible? "

This request was beyond everyone's expectations, the Queen Mother was startled, and then said with a cheerful smile: "Of course it is good, Ranger's flute skills are exquisite, it's a rare festive season, so everyone should listen to it."

Now that the Empress Dowager has spoken, Li Lang is inconvenient to object, it's just that the qin and flute ensemble is playing, and he has almost no intention of listening to the music. Even if he doesn't understand Zhao Rang's temperament thoroughly, he also knows that this person's presumptuousness must have some intentions, but he can't understand it if he bothers to figure it out. .

But during the banquet, Zhao Rang and Li Ming were obsessed with their respective musical instruments, occasionally raised their heads to look at each other, both of them were smiling happily, Li Lang felt his chest was congested, and he became more and more unhappy. He glanced unintentionally, and realized that it was Chang Le, he pondered for a while, he couldn't help laughing and suddenly became angry, the mother's meddling was a bit deceptive.

An absent-minded family banquet ended after the music ended, and Li Lang couldn't help but fell in love with Li Ming. If he didn't still need Li Ming as a hostage, he really wanted to drive him out of the palace the next day.

He wanted to see Zhao Rang, but every time he wanted to do something, thinking about the day when he was so open and honest that he was ruthlessly rejected by that person, he felt as if he was slapping his face hard. , The sense of humiliation arises spontaneously, and the anger is hard to calm down. Thinking about it this way, I feel disheartened, and it is useless to meet each other.

Unexpectedly, the next day after the mid-autumn banquet, after Li Lang came down to the court, someone from Chengxian Palace came to ask for an audience. He said that the imperial concubine was here to ask for a visit, and he wanted to ask for something important.

Li Lang looked intently, and it was the jade he gave to Zhao Rang. Once he identified it clearly, he felt a loud bang in his brain, which was chaotic and shapeless, suppressing the surging blood. Li Lang took the jade, which made people feel uncomfortable Send a message to Chengxian Palace and pick him up in Youshi.

When the torment reached You, Li Lang was no longer as angry as when he first received Peiyu, and his hands were trembling. Minister, don't think about it anymore.

Zhao Rang greeted him out of the palace gate, Li Lang saw his indifferent face, and his heart became anxious. When he entered the bedroom and dismissed the idlers, the emperor could hardly restrain his temper, and said coldly: "I only know that you don't want to be a concubine. Seeing me by identity, why are you so anxious?"

Zhao Rang was silent for a moment, knelt down suddenly, bowed his head to the emperor, and said in a shy voice: "I beg your majesty to grant me strength. I am willing to fight bravely for your majesty, sweep out traitors for your majesty, and seek the great cause of the world."

Li Lang stared at Zhao Rang for a while and then said, "You came to me for this?"

"Don't His Majesty want to get rid of the restraint of powerful ministers? Know your shame and be brave. Your Majesty knows that you are only a humble emperor. Why can you tolerate it until now? It's your Majesty's wish, but the nephrite jade is full of warmth and fragrance, and the harem is full of blooming flowers □□? "Zhao Rang raised his head, his eyes were slightly red, and his eyes were full of reprimands.

It was never expected that Zhao Rang would speak bluntly, sarcastically, and hurt others. After being stunned, Li Lang became furious. He clenched his fists and said coldly to Zhao Rang: "Zhao Rang, what is your status to criticize others?" For me? Don’t forget, you are just a concubine now, keeping your duty is the way of the whole body, it’s better not to have wishful thinking!”

Seeing that Zhao Rang still did not bow his head, he scolded: "It's ridiculous that you want me to use you to accomplish things. You can't forget that Nanman daughter in your heart. If I let you be a general and ask you to kill your wife when the two armies are facing each other, you Is it possible to kill relatives with justice? Didn’t you establish yourself as king back then because of her? Zhao Rang, in time, that woman fell into my hands, and I executed her Ling Chi, are you going to betray again?”

"Your Majesty, don't push people too much." Zhao Rang was silent, then closed his eyes and whispered softly.

Li Lang was furious, how could he listen to this powerless begging, and smiled coldly: "Why did I ever force you? You don't appreciate it, but push forward. How do you want me to believe you? I will not only execute that woman, but even The children born to her will also be wiped out..."

Before he could finish his words, his mouth turned into an exclamation. Zhao Rang jumped up and twisted his arms forcibly. Li Lang was in a daze. In an instant, Zhao Rang tied his hands behind his back with a belt.

"Li Lang," Zhao Rang said, "you are not the only one who suffers innocently in this world, who wants to get but can't. If you don't understand this suffering, how can you be the emperor? Is what you long for? Is it me?" Luckily? Well, today I will do what you wish!"
