Three anecdotes

After Helian Xi left, Cardinal Jin was not lonely at all. He had too many people to meet, too many plans to arrange, and too many things to do.Without Helianxi's restraint, going out has become much more convenient, so after he handled a large amount of money transactions at the bank and went to visit Miss Yan San's grave in secret, he finally abducted his secret in Jing'an. meeting place.

The most dangerous place is the safest place. He believed that Shang Chengbi would never have thought that he dug a tunnel in his bedroom, Your Excellency Qifeng. The small bridge and flowing water that he liked back then, Shang Chengbi indulged in wantonly restorating the palace. All gave him the opportunity to do it.Now, Cardinal Jin looked at Xiao Shunzi opposite him while holding a teacup, "Taoer is okay?"

"If you return to the son of the world, good."

"Are my two brothers okay?"

"Returning to my son, the emperor has not visited the other two young masters. The servant is trying to find a way to investigate."

"Try to lure him to see my two elder brothers and find out where he hid them." Cardinal Jin put down the teacup.

"Yes." Xiao Shunzi bowed his waist.He is an ambitious person, and he is also a smart person. He understands that following Cardinal Jin is more likely to get ahead than following Shang Chengbi.Even if he couldn't, Cardinal Jin would not drag him out and beat him to death just because he was in a bad mood.These days, Shang Chengbi beat and killed many close servants, even his master Wang Chuanxi received ten boards, but he was the only one who was spared, it must be said that this was his cleverness and also his luck.A long time ago, he regarded himself as Cardinal Jin's person, not because Cardinal Jin was the master, but because, in this palace, if he wanted to survive, Prince Jin's people were safer than the Emperor's people.

"The Qionglin Banquet is about to start." Cardinal Jin said lightly.

"Yes." Xiao Shunzi was startled.Ready to start?

Cardinal Jin took out a free seal from his pocket, and threw it to him casually, "When he meets Xinke Tanhua, let Tao'er take out this free seal."

Xiao Shunzi didn't dare to look at the words engraved on the stamp, but felt warm with his touch, it must be a good seal, "Yes."

Cardinal Jin stretched his waist greatly, "There is no other explanation. Shang Chengbi is moody, you have to remember to be careful. Your life is saved, and the glory and wealth of the next life are waiting." He got up and left after finishing speaking , Xiao Shunzi bowed deeply to send him out, and waited for the door of the secret passage to close before rushing over to grab the banknote left on the table by Cardinal Jin, a banknote of 100 taels from Tongda Bank, a thick There are as many as 5 taels in a stack.Xiao Shunzi carefully picked up the bank note and climbed out from another door of the secret room.

Tao'er probably smelled the master's scent from him, but today it was a rare enthusiasm. When Shang Chengbi went down and saw Tao'er chasing Xiao Shunzi sniffing, a smile appeared on his originally cold face. I don't know what fate you have for this slave, not only Chonghua looks at you differently, but even Taoer is chasing you."

Xiao Shunzi prostrated on the ground and saluted Shang Chengbi, "The prince and Master Tao are nobles and noble cats. How can a slave have any destiny, only one loyalty."

"Well said, thank you." Shang Chengbi whistled lightly, calling Tao'er to come to him, but went back to Qifeng Pavilion in high spirits.

Xiao Shunzi hurriedly followed the waiter, first served Shang Chengbi to wash up, and then served delicious tea, Shang Chengbi frowned slightly, "Mt. Lushan Yunwu, why did you make this tea at this time of year?"

Xiao Shunzi hurriedly knelt down and said, "The emperor forgives the sin. Because the spring water from Kangwangguguwangdong came here as a tribute, the servant thought to himself that the prince said before that this water is just right for soaking in the clouds and mists of Lushan Mountain, so I made my own decision—"

He explained here, but Shang Chengbi was already there in a daze, yes, Chonghua is the most particular about drinking tea, what kind of tea to drink in what season, what kind of water to use for what kind of tea, what kind of water should be aired until it is almost hot, and the tea is brewed. What kind of cup should the color come in.He likes to fume the house with Tuo tea from Dali, and put [-]% hot Junshan Yinzhen in a glass cup.Chonghua also likes the clouds and mists on Lushan Mountain.He often said that if he couldn't even choose a sip of tea, there was nothing left to do.The prairie is bitterly cold, and it is winter again. Can Chonghua, such a delicate and delicate person, stand the wind and frost in the frontier? What's more, he has injuries on his body. Can Chonghua swallow the dry bread that is as hard as a stone? , He is a person who never tires of eating, eating, and eating. Chonghua is clean and clean. I heard that there is a river on the grassland. People also drink water in it, and cattle and sheep also defecate in it. If Chonghua sees it, how can he drink it? .Holding the tea in one hand, he was in a trance, thinking about Cardinal Jin until the tea was completely cold.It was quiet all around, and no one dared to disturb him. I heard that the third lady of the Yan family was forced to death because of an imperial decree, and the censor came to speak.There are even people who say that Cardinal Jin flatters the superiors and bullies the inferiors, that he communicates with foreign countries, harms the country and the people, and heinously commits heinous crimes. If King Linyuan is to be dismissed from his title, Chu must be punished.In particular, a censor surnamed He, whose words were extremely radical, publicly claimed that Cardinal Jin was "insidious, cunning, shameless, betraying the country and deceiving the master, and harboring evil intentions. He committed a rebellion five years ago, and he had a heart of disobedience. He treasoned the country three months ago. Run away, born with different ambitions. A good woman does not serve her second husband. The Cardinal Jin hides a man, but he has no idea what courtesy, justice, integrity and shame are. Committing himself to others twice is really a monster that will subjugate the country. If the emperor does not stop, he cannot be left behind. Put to death, and the chaos in Muye will not be far away!" Shang Chengbi was so angry that his beard and hair swelled, and he almost wanted to kill him in court, but thanks to the Duke's persuasion, He Yushi was able to save his life.Shang Chengbi lost his temper all morning and demoted the five ministers participating in the Cardinal Jin's performance by eight ranks in a row, only to ease his anger a little.

Shang Chengbi placed the teacup heavily on the table, and there was no sound in the room, even Tao'er never barked, without Cardinal Jin, everything was so lonely, and the quietness made him want to lose his temper.Shang Chengbi sighed softly, "Chonghua, Chonghua—"

Xiao Shunzi hastily put away the teacup. There are some things that need to be ordered as soon as they are made. He has to be careful not to put himself in it.

Tao'er was scratching the floor under the table by herself, always thinking that the master was here, why didn't he come out.After a while, Taoer ran into the room when he heard Shang Chengbi start whistling again. Shang Chengbi stroked Taoer's silky fur, "Chonghua, if you are as obedient as Taoer, you can lie on my bed with peace of mind every day." How nice it should be in my arms." Before he finished speaking, Tao'er suddenly stretched out her paw, leaving a mark on his arm, and Shang Chengbi smiled, "Who really raises such a cat. Tao'er, you ate it today what?"

Taoer ate his favorite tuna today, it was a tribute, and now he is licking his paws contentedly, Shang Chengbi hugged him on his lap and spread out the folds, almost every portion was for him to put the people's lives first, Take children's personal affection lightly.This morning, the royal censor who played the manuscript impeached the king of Chu for being restless in the room and having a heart of disobedience. Shang Chengbi read a book and threw it away. Finally, he found the note written by Tian Renliang, the servant of the Ministry of officials, saying that the test has passed, please the emperor. Presiding over the palace examination, it was rare for Shang Chengbi to see a memorial that was not intended to persuade him, and he immediately approved it with a stroke of the ink pen. In order to prevent the civil and military ministers from bothering him with the disaster or Cardinal Jin, he simply scheduled the palace examination one month later in advance.

Shang Chengbi thought to himself, this year is either a flood in the Yellow River or a snowstorm in winter, there should be some good news, to open a course to recruit scholars for the country, and to train some of his own people to fight against the Jingbian King of Yu's family.

"Report! Your Majesty, Helian Xi has set off."

The spy's return made Shang Chengbi feel better again, "Where is King Linyuan?"

"King Linyuan lives in the palace, and he didn't go back to Beidi with He Lianxi." The spies replied.

"Okay! The king of Linyuan really has a strong character, and he doesn't associate with rebellious officials and thieves. The fact that the censor of the court impeached the king of Linyuan today and made enemies with the foreign countries is completely nonsense. I passed on my order to punish him for the crime of false accusation and sitting on his seat. Look at him How dare you slander loyal ministers indiscriminately!" Shang Chengbi was excited.

"Yes." Xiao Shunzi immediately responded and issued the decree.Although the spy knew in his heart that the imperial censor would not be punished for impeaching important ministers for his words, but the emperor's mood has become more and more unstable in recent days, who would dare to go against the dragon scale.

When some powerful officials in the court heard the news, Shang Chengbi's imperial decree had been issued, and the censor who participated in the cardinal Jin was punished for a crime of treason. The family of more than [-] people were all killed by Shang Chengbi's personal soldiers. Killed with a horizontal knife, no one was spared.It has not been tried, and it has already ended up with a head on the ground.

King Jingbian heard about this, and rushed to He Yushi's house with a gold medal to save people, but he was one step too late. Xiao Shunzi's apprentice Shanxi personally led Shang Chengbi's forbidden army, and he didn't even ask a single question. He broke into the inner house and pulled out all the women and children. He Yushi's grandson who was less than three months old was also killed in the rocking cart.It is said that when King Jingbian arrived at the He Mansion, there was a bloody smell everywhere. Even Mrs. He, who had already hanged herself, was hacked twice.

King Jingbian came to Beijing this time to cry for the queen, but he didn't expect to encounter such a tragedy. Now he is kneeling outside the Sun Gate, taking off the Nine Dragons Pei, which symbolizes the son of the dragon, and expressing his feelings to Shang Chengbi, begging for business. Cheng Bi dealt with the inner eunuch who left the palace without permission, posthumously named He Yushi, and gave the He family justice.

Shang Chengbi, who only teased Taoer in the Qifeng Pavilion, who was in a better mood, heard that King Jingbian had provoked trouble. His anger rose from five points to ten points, and he ordered He Yushi's grandfather to be dissected and killed. Yushi's two married daughters committed suicide, and issued a decree ordering He Yushi's two in-laws to expel his four grandchildren from the house, and barred him from being an official for life. For prostitutes.

All of a sudden, the crowd was furious, and Shang Quhan led the ministers to kneel outside the Sun Gate, saying, "The ten heinous crimes do not extend to married daughters, let alone weak children who have lost their parents?" Please Shang Chengbi think twice .

At this time, Linyuan Wang Cardinal Jin, who had been stared sideways by the people of Daliang, paid homage to the Chief of Beidi Army and Horse, and had disappeared in the harem of the Daliang government for three months, suddenly brought his sword to court. Outside the Sun Gate, Cardinal Jin held the sword and asked Seeing Shang Chengbi, he said, "If you are unfeeling, ask for one, if you are not a minister, please ask for two, if you don't vomit, please ask for three, if you are worried, eager to face the holy, you will be an innocent person!"
