Brocade without a knife

After entering the imperial city, it was already evening, and the wind and snow that swept across the capital was more unrestrained than in the daytime. There seemed to be a hole in the sky, and the snowflakes were shaken down one after another. The snow had almost reached the calf at this time.

He Si raised his hand to press down on the brim of his hat, got out of the car, and a thin layer of snow flakes flew over his brows and eyes in an instant, and the little eunuchs who had been waiting for him immediately surrounded him from both sides, opening umbrellas and dusting off the snow Dust off the snow in full swing, as if serving a Bodhisattva.

Prince Yun sadly got out of the carriage hand in hand with his elder nephew. Although there were people waiting nearby, compared with the busy and lively situation on the other side, he, the prince, was really down and out...

He and the sallow-faced young man looked at each other for a while, then looked up at the familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar palace, put their hands behind their backs with difficulty, shook their heads and said with emotion: "Nephew, this is the imperial city of my Dayan, from now on it will be the imperial city." It's your home."

The young man followed him and looked up at the palace with cornices and horns through the dense snow curtain.Because of the cloudy sky, he could only see a blurred outline, and it was only the continuous and undulating blurred outline that shocked him greatly.He has also been to the imperial palace of the Jin State. The ancestors of the Jin State made their fortunes late and were from nomadic tribes. No matter the city structure or the palace hall, there is a simple and calm style everywhere.

It is far less graceful than this Great Yan Imperial Capital. The walls, bricks and tiles here are soaked in the prosperity and nobility of a century-old empire. The carved beams and painted buildings, Zhugeyutai, which one is not built by generations of Yan Emperors, skilled craftsmen and countless painstaking efforts.

——Is this your own home?

The boy's eyes were slightly bent, and his lips moved silently, as if asking the king of Yun, but also asking himself.

He Si caught a glimpse of the boy's half-smile expression from among a group of fans, and a strange feeling suddenly crossed his mind.

Immediately, the young man noticed his eyes, and suddenly looked at him like a frightened little beast with a little panic. The moment he looked at He Si, he wondered if he remembered the "cannibalism" that his uncle Yun Wang mentioned, and he was suddenly startled. She had to lower her head in panic, not daring to look at him again.

He Si sneered, the meaning of his smile was unclear, and the little eunuchs who were busy around thought there was something wrong, so they quickly fell to their knees and shouted: "Damn the slave, damn the slave."

Hesi: "..."

This is a common problem in the palace. Once something happens to the servants, no matter whether it is his fault or not, just catch him and tell him to die.

There was a time when a maid in the Empress Dowager's palace accidentally cut a window grille, which was actually not a big deal, but the Empress Dowager saw it.The little palace maid knelt down and said this series of common lines. She thought that the empress dowager is usually kind-hearted, so it should be fine, but she didn't think that the empress dowager was upset for some reason that day, so she said casually with a cold face: "Then you Go to hell."

The next day, the body of the little maid hanging from the beam was rolled up in a mat and dragged out of the palace.

The lives of slaves in the palace are always worthless, but after the emperor Daxing left, the three palaces and six courtyards in the harem were temporarily idle, and there was no storm of palace fighting. Suddenly such a life happened, the steward of Shouchun Palace thought about it and reported to the ceremony Supervise here.

When He Si heard this, he slapped his red hand and didn't say much, he just asked someone to give some money to the maid's family and sent them away.

Tsk, in the future, who said that the empress dowager has kind eyebrows and kind eyes, so He Si suggested that he go and see his eyes.

The weather was so cold that his bones ached, and Hesi held the hand stove and did not speak. An attendant beside him raised his voice and scolded: "Things that have no eyesight, does the governor blame you? Kneeling and blocking the way, hurry up and get out of here." ?”

The yelling little eunuch was the one who often followed He Si in the ceremonial supervisor, and he usually didn't pay attention, but now He Si heard the sound and saw that he looked a little clever.

The people here dispersed, and He Si respectfully gave way to King Yun and the others, followed by himself.

As for Yue Zhong and Lu, Jin Yiwei is a foreign minister, unlike He Si who is an eunuch, all foreign ministers are not allowed to enter the palace without an edict, which is why Dongchang has always been closer than Jin Yiwei and the emperor.Although his background is not as good as Jinyiwei, he is better than the one who is close to the water!

Like the snow falling outside the eaves, since King Yun entered the palace today, Jin Yiwei and Dongchang will take turns to keep watch in the imperial city, and the surname Lu is just a poor little white man. Households, at this time, it is likely to be guarding the outer periphery of the imperial city while blowing the wind and eating snow.

Gee, how miserable.

He Si was speechless in his heart, and then happily followed King Yun and the others into Yanqing Palace.

The Yanqing Hall is a ceremony hall specially used by the emperor to receive foreign envoys and vassal kings. Because it is the facade, it is how to build it gorgeously, how to decorate it in a rich and noble way, with a golden roof and silver walls, and four times every time you come here. I feel like my dog's eyes are going to go blind.

Not to mention the rare King Yun who came to the capital a few times and the young man who has not yet recognized his ancestors.

The little emperor and the empress dowager dressed up sat at the top, surrounded by the golden light and jade color of the palace, like two gods in the sky.

The young man only saw two graceful and noble blunts from a distance, before he woke up, he was pushed by King Yun, and he knelt on the ground to greet the two most honorable masters in the entire Dayan.

As soon as He Si entered the palace, he saluted as a matter of routine. He raised his eyes and took a sneak peek at the expressions of the two above. The little emperor was leaked by the people he sent before, and now he looked calm. As for the empress dowager...

That was really calm, looking at the young man beside King Yun kindly, he was extremely satisfied.

The Queen Mother's attitude had been expected from the moment Jin Yiwei appeared under the city gate, but at this moment, his heart still sank and he yelled that something was wrong.

The little emperor sat on a high dragon chair, looking at his older "brother" below him expressionlessly, wanted to say something but couldn't think of any suitable words, and finally looked at He Si.

When his eyes came into contact with Si Yi, he immediately changed from a cold and ruthless emperor to a baby bird waiting to be fed. He looked at him eagerly and described him as pitiful.

He Si saw that the corner of his mouth twitched, he straightened up and said in a gentle voice: "Your Majesty."

The little emperor was stunned for a moment, then looked at King Yun and the others as if he had just woken up from a dream, and said with a flat mouth: "Excuse me, let's get up."

The Empress Dowager raised her brows, looked at the boy, and then looked at the little emperor.

The little emperor was indifferent, ignoring her eyes, and directly read the speeches that the Taifu gave him earlier, according to the scriptures, to King Yun, and then directly announced the opening of the banquet.

The boy is like a cloud of air, no one cares, and no one pays attention.

King Yun's face suddenly became embarrassing, he wanted to say something, but He Si coughed lightly at the right time.

King Yun's face changed, and he didn't know what to think, but he didn't say anything in the end.

Because of the addition of a person with a special status, this clean-up dinner was extraordinarily silent, even a little depressing.

The delicacies of mountains and seas, which were the same as the running water, were brought to the table, and I suddenly missed the small kitchen in the old house that night, and the table he cooked with his own hands.

He casually waited beside the emperor, and after a while he listened to the wind, finally couldn't stand the embarrassing silence, found an excuse of "being unwell" and left the Yanqing Hall, leaving the stage for the audience. They are the Xiao family.

When he went out, the little emperor had a face full of collapse.

He Si ignored him, a child needs to learn to grow up, you see he was able to hold the stolen dog food without changing his face when he was as old as a little bastard, and was chased by dogs for ten streets.

Could it be that a mere Cloud King is more fierce than those three mastiffs that guard the house?

Heh, He Si Tie left the little bastard coldheartedly, put on a thick cloak, got into the small car, and walked leisurely to the outside of the palace.

The snow was very deep, and even if the palace servants kept cleaning it, Hesi's small car would shake a step and three times, directly shaking him into a drowsy state.

He seemed to be more afraid of the cold this year than in previous years. Even with a hot stove in his arms, he almost curled up into a ball and wished he could get under the car.

Snowflakes rubbed against the wind and fell, shining a faint light. Zhao Jingzhong and Li Baoguo were sitting in the carriage, each carrying a pot of shochu, knocking on a bag of salt and pepper peanuts, and casually asked inside the carriage: " Governor, where are we going in this snowy day?"

Zhao Jingzhong and Li Baoguo were only wearing two straw hats, and they looked almost like two round snowmen.

The carriage was quiet, Zhao Jingzhong was driving the carriage, and asked again.

After a while, there was a voice that sounded like a dream but not a dream: "Go home."

Zhao Jingzhong was stunned, and Li Baoguo and Li Baoguo stared at each other, and whispered: "Go home, which home?"

When the old factory owner was there, Hesi lived with him in the luxurious mansion in Qingpingfang, which was barely his home.

Now that the mansion is sold, He Si lived in the verandah of the Supervisor of Rites for more than half of the time, and had no intention of building a house outside.

Li Baoguo was drinking snow water mixed with shochu, half ice and half hot, and his face, which was paler than a ghost, finally turned a little red. He knocked a peanut and said inarticulately: "It's still early, come back." don't go."

Zhao Jingzhong was stunned, why couldn't he understand a word of the conversation between the two.

Fortunately, He Si inside seemed to wake up from his doze, muttered something and said, "Go to Sitianjian."

Zhao Jingzhong finally heard a clear sentence, but before he could turn the carriage, another sentence came out of the carriage: "Go to Tai/Anmen."

Zhao Jingzhong: "???"

Li Baoguo snorted, and before Zhao Jingzhong could make a move, he turned the carriage in the direction of Tai/Anmen.

On a snowy night, it was freezing cold, except for the gatekeepers, even the Dongchang Fanzi and Jinyiwei who were hiding here were lazy to find a place to drink and warm up.

Not far from Tai'an Gate, a carriage with a small lantern was standing there quietly, as if waiting for someone.

But in fact, at this moment, He Si is holding his head and wondering if he suddenly came here to make wool on a whim? ? ?

Didn't you think about going to the Sitianjian to find that old magic stick and ask the late emperor what happened to this son who suddenly appeared?

Why did he change his way to come here inexplicably, not only came, but also brought a box of hot wine and hot food that Zhao Jingzhong stole from the imperial dining room.

He Si looked at the food box with a face full of enemies, as if staring at thoughts that he didn't even understand.

The wind lamp hanging on the carriage suddenly made a soft and crisp sound, as if something had smashed it onto the carriage.

As if facing a formidable enemy, Zhao Jingzhong quickly drew his sword out of its sheath, but he didn't find any figure.

Li Baoguo was still lazily leaning on the carriage, holding the embroidered canopy and drawing patterns there.

The wind lantern made another soft sound, this time Zhao Jingzhong discovered that it was a pebble that threw the lantern.

Li Baoguo didn't raise his head, he pointed at the dark front left with his embroidery needle: "Here, there."

Zhao Jingzhong was confused and wanted to take a look, but saw a thin black figure flashing out from the direction Li Baoguo was pointing at, and arrived in front of the carriage like a ghost in a few strides.

The man was dressed in ice and snow, exuding a chill like a dead man crawling out of an ice cave. He stomped his feet soundlessly, shook off the snow from his clothes, and made a gesture to climb onto the car: "Let's go, let's go!" Let me go, I will freeze to death."

Zhao Jingzhong had already figured out who the person was, but he still stood in front of the car with great displeasure: "What are you doing here?!"

The man clicked his tongue, trying to explain that it was your master who came to find me specially, but considering the thin-skinned people in the car, he could only grin without changing his face and heartbeat: "The next official is here to serve the governor. bed warmer."

Hesi: "..."

Zhao Jingzhong: "..."

Li Baoguo moved away slowly and let the door out.

Seizing the opportunity, Lu Zhengming jumped into the car while Zhao Jingzhong didn't recover.

The scorching warmth in the car rushed towards his face, and before he could see clearly the person he was thinking about, a torn book was thrown at his face: "Get out!"
