Temptation is coming to the bowl

On this day, the capital city was extremely lively, and all the people went out to welcome the returning troops in triumph.The soldiers waved excitedly, and some even hugged and cried with their relatives who came to see them.

Ying San was riding on a tall horse, and seeing the crowd cheering all around him, he turned around and told the soldiers carrying the sedan chair: "Pick up the sedan chair into Li's mansion, and settle Xiao Ren down properly. I'll go to the palace to ask for help." Physician!"

"As ordered!"

Imperial Palace

"Your Majesty, Lieutenant General Li is asking to see you!" Zhou Shun stepped forward and leaned over.

"Let him in! Everyone else retreat, no one is allowed to enter without my order!" Emperor Jingwen put down the brush in his hand and ordered.

"Slave obeys the order!" After Yingsan entered, Zhou Shun dispatched the palace guards to guard the door.

Inside the room, Yingsan saluted Emperor Jingwen and said respectfully: "Yingsan sees the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor!"

"Get up! Could King Ning contact you along the way?" Emperor Jingwen asked.

"Returning to the emperor, King Ning sent someone to give a small note to his subordinates three days ago. He said that after the celebration banquet, these ministers will write a letter together to ensure that Vice General Li can get the position of general. This is List!" Ying San took out a small note from his sleeve and handed it to Emperor Jing Wen.

"Minister of the Ministry of Officials, Shaoqing of Dali Temple, Shangshu of the Ministry of War..." Emperor Jing Wen narrowed his eyes and browsed through each name on the list one by one, "King Ning is really a good trick! I didn't even know that these ministers of mine are So loyal to me!"

Emperor Jingwen sneered, with a stern expression, "Yingyi, send someone to check the ministers on the list for me, and if there are any abnormalities, let the shadow guard replace them."

"Subordinates understand!" Ying came and went without a trace, and disappeared instantly after taking the note in Emperor Jingwen's hand.

Emperor Jingwen stood up and looked at the roses on the table, the jade girl's emerald green curtains were scented, and the face powder was applied;This was sent by the Queen Mother after he visited Fang Zhaoyi, and now the flowers are in full bloom.

Emperor Jingwen reached out and touched the thorns under the rose branch, then stroked his fingers, his eyes darkened.This queen mother is very similar to Qiangwei, she has needles all over her body, and she protects herself with this kind of armor all the time, so that the coveters can't catch up with her and feel daunted.But once all these needles are pulled out, you can touch the most beautiful heart.

He withdrew his gaze, looked at Ying San, and asked, "How is Xiao Ren?"

"Back to the emperor, Xiao Ren is still in a coma. According to the military doctor, the poisonous gas has entered the internal organs. They can only rely on medicinal materials to hang his breath. They only hope that after returning to Beijing, the imperial doctor can find a way. Xiao Ren has no relatives and no reason. , and is now being sent to Lieutenant General Li's residence to take care of him."

"The poisonous gas has entered the internal organs?" Emperor Jing Wen frowned, and tapped the table with his index finger. This is very difficult!Mengmeng would be so sad if even the imperial doctor couldn't save him, or if he could only lie on the bed like in his previous life!He originally wanted to give this to her as a surprise!

"Take good care of Xiao Ren in the future. I will send the best imperial physician to treat you. If the ministers on the list contact you, report to me immediately. Go down!"

"My subordinate understands!"

After Ying San withdrew, Emperor Jingwen immediately sent an imperial doctor to Vice General Li's residence to save Xiao Ren.In order to prevent Xiaomeng from knowing that his elder brother went to the battlefield, and now his life or death is uncertain, he ordered people to block the news, blur the focus, and only said that a soldier who fought bravely against the enemy was injured.

In the evening, a celebration banquet was held in the palace, and all the ministers were invited to participate.

The lights in Yongshou Palace were brightly lit, Xiaomeng teased the little girl in her arms, and when she heard the noise from outside, she asked, "Jingxin, is there any banquet held in the palace today?"

"Back to the Empress Dowager, it was the emperor who invited the ministers to hold a celebration banquet. The soldiers from the front line have returned in triumph!" Jing Xin replied.

Hearing this, the little girl raised her head shyly, her eyes staring into the distance like ghosts.

"This is a big deal, why didn't Ai's family hear about it?" Xiaomeng raised her eyebrows, the palace was so boring, a little bit of gossip was flying all over the place, and he hadn't received any news about such a big deal.

Jing Xin laughed and said: "Your Majesty, you are not allowed to do politics in the harem, and you stay in the palace all day long. How did this news reach your ears? Even the slaves just heard about it."

What Jingxin said was reasonable and well-founded, Xiaomeng didn't want to delve into it anymore, and asked rather curiously: "Then is there anything interesting to say about this?"

"Is this interesting? Not at all!" Jing Xin shook her head, thought for a while, and said, "However, I heard that General Yang died in battle, and the Jin Kingdom lost another general. Everyone guessed that Lieutenant General Li will take the place of General Yang."

Xiaomeng looked through the plot in the sea of ​​knowledge, and indeed mentioned this episode, but because of the death of Emperor Jingwen, the subsequent plot was interrupted, and the plot of rebirth did not start, and he was not sure whether it had anything to do with him.

"It seems that there was a heroic soldier who took off the head of the enemy general. Unfortunately, he was seriously injured and is still in a coma." Jing Xin regretfully said.

Xiaoguai's eyes flashed, and it carefully rubbed Xiaomeng's finger with its teeth, and licked it with its tongue from time to time.

"A heroic soldier?" Xiaomeng muttered, and asked, "Do you know who's name is?"

Jing Xin shook her head, "I don't know about this slave girl. I heard that she has no relatives and no reason, and now she can only temporarily live in Lieutenant General Li's house. I really feel pitiful when I think about it!"

Xiaomeng didn't say a word, war is so terrible!One will succeed and ten thousand bones will dry up!

"Okay! Aijia, let's wash up and sleep! Anyway, we have nothing to do!" Xiao Meng touched Xiao Guai's head, got up and carried it into the inner room.

next day

In the Jinluan Hall, Emperor Jingwen sat on the dragon chair. The bright yellow robe was embroidered with the pattern of a dragon rising from the sea, carved like jade, with sword eyebrows reaching his temples, thin lips, and pupils as black as black jade shining coldly. With the radiance of the gods, with the majesty of the gods and the innate nobility, the whole person exudes a kind of kingly aura that intimidates the world.

"Start playing if there is something to do, and leave the court if there is nothing to do!" Zhou Shun said loudly with a sharp voice.

As soon as the words fell, the Minister of the Ministry of War came out, bowed and saluted, and said: "I have a book to play!"

The corner of Emperor Jingwen's mouth curled into a cold smile, but unfortunately no one saw it, "Speak!"

"Reporting to the Emperor, the frontier pass has been victorious, Vice General Li has fought hard on the battlefield, and he has made great achievements in killing the enemy. It is better to promote Vice General Li to be a general, so as to deter neighboring countries and prevent them from invading."

"What do you think?" Above his head, Emperor Jing Wen's voice was calm, neither happy nor angry.

The Minister of the Ministry of War turned his head and signaled to the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials nodded his head invisibly, stepped out, and said: "I second the proposal!"

With the second proposal from the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, soon, the subordinate ministers came out in twos and threes to express their agreement.

Looking at all the ministers in line below, Emperor Jingwen touched the cold gemstone on the dragon chair, his eyes were as cold as water, "Zuzao! Retire!"

"Your majesty is wise! Respectfully send off the emperor!" All the ministers shouted.

The Minister of the Ministry of War was determined, and walked out of the Jinluan Hall. The servant of the Ministry of Officials followed quickly, and said in a low voice: "Master Shangshu, the subordinate has already done as you ordered, when will I hand over the things to the subordinate!"

Minister of the Ministry of War stroked his beard and said, "Don't worry, I will give it to you when it is due!"

"But!" The servant of the official department said urgently: "Master Shangshu, you clearly said that as long as the subordinate cooperates with you today, you will definitely hand over the things to the subordinate. You can't go back on your word!"

Hearing this, the Minister of the Ministry of War stopped in his tracks, snorted coldly, and looked at the Minister of the Ministry of Officials as if he was looking at garbage, "Don't open a dyeing workshop just because you are three-pointed. When the things are given is my own business, and it is not up to you to decide Minister of the Ministry of Officials, as long as you obey my lord obediently, I will naturally treat you badly. If not, it is definitely not a lie that I ruined your reputation!" After finishing speaking, he strode away.

The Minister of the Ministry of Officials stood where he was, furious, clenched his fists, loosened and released, released and relaxed, after a long time, he calmed down and left quickly.

In Yuqing Palace, Ying Yi knelt respectfully in front of Emperor Jingwen, and said: "Your Majesty, I have lived up to your expectations and sent someone to find the nanny who took care of the youngest son of the Xiao family."

"Is this true?" Emperor Jingwen was overjoyed, "Where is she now? Bring her here immediately!"

"Your subordinate obeys!" Ying Yi walked out, and soon came in with a disguised woman.

Ever since the woman was caught by the shadow guard, she has been terrified, and she doesn't know what happened to her.After entering the palace, Ying pointed out the acupoints and hid them in the dark, and was brought out until now. He was hungry and trembling, and when he saw Emperor Jingwen wearing a dragon robe, his legs softened and he knelt down.

"People... civilian women see the emperor... the emperor!"

Seeing the nanny's timid look, Emperor Jing Wen was not happy, and said: "You don't need to be afraid, I just asked some things about Xiao's residence, after I finished, I will send you back naturally."

Hearing this, the nanny breathed a sigh of relief, she obviously calmed down a lot, and said, "Your Majesty, if you ask, the women will know everything!"

"You used to be the nanny of Xiao Meng, the youngest son of the Xiao family. Do you know where the Xiao family sent this young son to rest? And where did the Xiao family's adopted daughter come from?"

The nanny didn't understand why the emperor wanted to ask about the Xiao Mansion. Since the Xiao Mansion had dismissed a group of servants, she took the money and returned to her hometown. Her hometown was in the countryside and there was no news. She still didn't know what happened to the Xiao Mansion. Although confused, she replied honestly: "In fact, the youngest son Xiao Meng and the adopted daughter are the same person!"

"What did you say?" Emperor Jingwen turned pale with shock, as if he had been hit by a thunderbolt from the blue sky, or as if someone had poured a basin of cold water from head to toe, making his whole body numb.

He was even in a trance, sitting slumped on the big carved chair, motionless.

The nanny was frightened by Emperor Jingwen's reaction, she lay down on the ground trembling, and shouted: "The emperor spares my life, my majesty spares my life!"

"Say, what's going on here?" Emperor Jing Wen's face was gloomy, his eyes dark and uncertain.
