Three anecdotes

"Your Majesty, it's really hard for me to obey my orders!" Yu Tongxun kowtowed heavily.

Shang Chengbi's face was sullen, "The Lu family is gentle and gentle, Shushen and virtuous, and now she has a dragon vein. I'm just a noble concubine, do you want to obstruct it?"

"Your Majesty, although the Lu family is pregnant with dragon descendants, the emperor has sealed her as Chongyuan the day before yesterday. Now, she has no merit, and she is going to be a concubine. The noble concubine is the head of the four concubines. You come from a humble background, how can you deserve such an honorable name?" Yu Tongxun said.

Shang Chengbi said, "Head of the country, the empress is honored and honored. For nine years, I have ruled the harem internally and assisted me externally. I am deeply grateful for the revitalization of the clan and the prosperity of the people. I value Qing Jiaxun. The ministers are good generals and are full of loyal families, so they dare to bother Aiqing to be this canonized envoy. It is also the meaning of the Lu family who comes from a humble background and loves you. The empress's honor is the same as mine, inheriting the ancestral temple, and the mother's respect for the world. It's just that I want to borrow some favors from the Qing family's family prestige, this is also the queen's virtue, so why should Ai Qing decline."

Yu Tongxun just kowtowed, and Shang Chengbi's face was as cold as ice.Above the court, everyone is in danger.

Ten years ago, the crown prince passed away suddenly, King Kang and the King of England competed for heir. It was rumored that the late emperor preferred the King of England and bestowed him the title Juntian.One year later, the first emperor passed away, and King Kang passed away in a strange manner, but King Juntian voluntarily abdicated to Shang Chengbi, the crown prince's son-in-law, and left Mobei.After Shang Chengbi came to the throne, he was grateful for the abdication of King Juntian and the virtuous son of his heir, entrusted him with 30 troops, and bestowed him with the title of Jingbian, which is often a great honor.Therefore, there has always been a saying in the folks that "the quilt does not change the dream of Juntian", praising the virtue of Duke Zhou, the king of Jingbian.

Back then, the crown prince died suddenly, and the second son took over the heir. As the prince's son, Shang Chengbi was in danger.Unexpectedly, the situation took a turn for the worse. King Jingbian didn't want to bear the name of killing his brother and seizing the throne. Shang Chengbi got the help of Yu's family, and he was like a tiger with wings. Once he gained power, he became a great treasure.Shang Chengbi reciprocated, established Yu's family as heir, and named Yu's great-grandfather Yu and became the Duke of Dingguo, and Yu's grandfather Yu Zhongyu was the general of the town.Yu Tongxun is the queen's biological father. The official worshiped the Minister of the Book, and he was granted the title of Taifu. Yu's family is full of land, what an honor.Today, Shang Chengbi's country is stable, but the Yu family is getting bigger and bigger. Times have changed, and the hero who supported him back then has long become the confidant of the young hero.

The harem is the shadow of the previous dynasty. Although Empress Yu was not a favorite in the past, she was also in a detached position. But now, not only has to watch other people enter the West Palace, but Shang Chengbi also wants Yu Tongxun to be the canonized envoy himself. All the people in the court are clear in their hearts, and this is about to slap Yu Jia in the face.

There was also someone who was clever enough to see the wind. Today, Shang Chengbi can confer a concubine to a concubine with nothing to rely on. Tomorrow, the court may no longer be dominated by this group of prominent families.Cutting off relatives is only the first step, and it seems that the emperor Dangyang and Qian Gang are not far away.Therefore, those poor sons who don't even know whether Lu Chongyuan is round or flat are all like chicken blood, rushing to tell each other, cheering, and jointly named Lu Chongyuan on the table. , Wen Yi and Gongshu said a bunch of things, what kind of wise vision Shang Chengbi has, and who can hide the scruples of these people from him, taking advantage of the situation to promote a few who are considered prudent, and everyone in the court is even more sure wind direction.

"Isn't the head of the state willing to give Lu some kindness for the queen?" Shang Chengbi's words were too serious.

"I don't dare." Yu Tongxun kowtowed and bowed again, but after this kowtow, he didn't raise his head again.

"Then I would like to thank the father-in-law." He pretended not to listen to Tong Xun's refusal, "I invite Taifu Yu to be the envoy and Ge Shilang to be the deputy envoy, and I will only sue the temple."

The servant of the Ministry of Rites, Ge Hongqing, was Shang Chengbi's confidant, stepped out of the train immediately, and kowtowed heavily, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!"

Yu Tongxun didn't dare to refuse even if he had great difficulties, so he could only kowtow together.Shang Chengbi smiled, "Give him a seat."

However, after Yu Tongxun returned home, he was still resentful. Fortunately, he was a little relieved when he heard that his son's arm had been healed after receiving a letter from Jixigu Feige.Waiting for his father to go to bed at night, he told Yu Zhongyu about the court affairs, but Yu Zhongyu said, "The holy heart is like the moon, and the empress rules the six palaces. What is a concubine? Thank you for your grace."

Yu Tongxun didn't dare to look at his father's face, and didn't know what the words meant, so he agreed.Unexpectedly, in less than a month, Yu Zhongyu asked himself to be relieved of his military power, saying, "The minister has long teeth and horse teeth, and the sun is declining in the west mountain. I can't bear to be reinstated. Please put the coffin in the market to wait for the bones." He was so happy that he agreed to play without even pretending to stay, and even specially rewarded a Zhenguo General's Mansion.It's a pity that the general is true, but he is already a general without an army.

When Empress Yu heard about the changes in the court, she didn't come to make trouble. She specially copied a copy of "The Rules for Women" and gave it to the former Lu Cairen, now Lu Guifei.Shang Chengbi just smiled when he knew it, "She's quite sensible."

Cardinal Jin said, "It's not easy for her to be the queen under your command for nine years without incident. I'm not afraid of her showing off her teeth and claws, but I'm afraid of her, so be patient and courteous."

Shang Chengbi's face darkened, "Chonghua, I know you don't like the queen, but now that the Yu family has handed over the military power, I can no longer be aggressive and chill the old minister's heart."

Cardinal Jin looked at him, "You think I'm slandering you, don't you? The old general once forced you to kill me, so it's only natural for me to hold grudges in my heart."

Shang Chengbi held his waist, "I didn't mean that."

Cardinal Jin snorted coldly, "If you really mean it, you underestimate me too much! I am the son of a traitor, and with you—" He blushed a little, "We are very close to you, and he wants the Qing emperor to be correct. Chao Gang, this is his duty as a minister. I can't complain, and I can't complain. However, Yu Zhongyu has always been sensitive and wise. Seeing that you have taken precautions, he is naturally wise and wise. Although he surrendered his military power, But don't forget, Your Majesty, as long as the Yu family has the outstanding and hard-working Duke Ding in charge, no one can shake his foundation, so what are these [-] forbidden troops?"

Shang Chengbi casually poured a cup of tea, and brought it to Cardinal Jin's lips, "Chonghua, I know you hate your family, not only because I was indeed murderous at the beginning, but also because she is still the queen."

Cardinal Jin turned his head away, "Is the Queen worth rarity?"

His chin rubbed against the teacup in Shang Chengbi's hand, almost knocking it over.

Cardinal Jin hurriedly turned his head, "Is it too hot?"

Shang Chengbi's face immediately became more pleasant, "How can I not even be able to hold a teacup?"

But Cardinal Jin became angry again, Shang Chengbi wrapped him in his arms, "I like the way you worry about me, I—"

Cardinal Jin shook his head lightly, "You don't need to say it, God's grace is unpredictable, even Han Zigao back then—what canonization male empress is just a joke." Lang Hao painted the wall and recited aloud, "Peerless romantic and chaotic world, once served the emperor without bowing down. Before the ups and downs, the court was overthrown, and the sword settled the country. Keeping each other together, the world will not hinder this heart." These 56 characters are frowning left and right, and the pen is like a dragon and snake, just wandering and pitching, tolerance and romance, rigidity is iron painting, and charm is like a silver hook.Cardinal Jin wrote with a long smile, "Even though the dusty hands are the same, and the sheep cart is empty, he has made great achievements in conquering the south and the north. Conquering Chen Chang, conquering Nanni, flattening the difference, and deciding Chen Baoying, in the end it was nothing but You end up dead and laughing for the world. Xiaoshu is frivolous, trusting, conspiring to cause chaos, and worrying about the country. If you are like this, how will they say about me and how will they say about me after a hundred years? !"

Shang Chengbi hugged Cardinal Jin, "I will not be as useless as Chen Qian, leaving you alone to be spoiled by them, Chonghua, promise me, we will die together, we will die together!"

Cardinal Jin pushed Shang Chengbi away fiercely, with an almost cold despair in his eyes, after a long time, he said, "I will die for you."

Shang Chengbi raised his hand and slapped him across the face.He once promised that he would never slap him in the face again, but what he got now was a sweet slap in his mouth, "What do you think I am? Do you think I'm just forcing you? Do you think I'm Afraid that I will strangle you to death alone and take you away with me? Cardinal Jin, if you die first, I won't be able to live anymore."

Cardinal Jin didn't speak for a long time. After a long time, he said, "Do you want me to believe you? Kill the queen."

"These are two things!" Shang Chengbi said.

"Kill King Jingbian." Cardinal Jin looked at him.

Shang Chengbi waved his hand, "You are simply making trouble for no reason."

"Isn't it what you should do to get rid of relatives and powerful officials? What if I die now? You are not even afraid of dying for me, so what are you afraid of, King Yu Jiajing?" Cardinal Jin stared at him.Finally, he turned his head and covered the swollen half of his face with his hand.

Shang Chengbi heaved a long sigh, and wrapped him in his arms, "Chonghua—" he called his name, and pressed his face against his, the right half of his face was very hot.His skin was so tender, his own cruelty seemed to surface with just one slap.

Cardinal Jin put his hand on his, "Sometimes, I really wish you didn't love me at all."

Shang Chengbi gently kissed the bruise on his face, "I'm sorry, I said I wouldn't hit you in the face."

"It doesn't matter. I never dare to hope." Cardinal Jin broke his hand that was holding him, "Jia, I'm really tired. I want to sleep alone tonight, so you can go to Concubine Lu. Tomorrow, Tomorrow you go to the empress. She is the middle palace after all—”

Shang Chengbi grabbed his hand, "Are you angry with me?"

"No. I'm just a little tired, really tired." Cardinal Jin's voice was calm like a well without waves.

Shang Chengbi said softly, "Actually, I have something I want to give you."

Cardinal Jin pulled out the hand that was held by him, "The things that the emperor rewarded must be very good. But I don't need them, so leave them to Concubine Lu."

Shang Chengbi said, "Chonghua——"

Cardinal Jin didn't respond, Shang Chengbi looked at his frail back, "Hear the order, Marquis Linyuan!"

Cardinal Jin turned around, "Do you want me to kneel? You can use the emperor's—" He didn't finish his sentence, because he saw the half bronze tiger talisman in his palm, Shang Chengbi pulled his Put your hand in his palm, "I don't want you to kneel down, even if I entrust you with [-] forbidden troops, I just thought that you would like it."

"I—" Cardinal Jin was tongue-tied.

"I thought you would be very happy. You said, you want to hear the child call you commander-in-chief. This is the tiger talisman handed over by Yu Zhongyu. It matches my talisman and can mobilize [-] forbidden troops. I know you are arrogant." A proud person, I also know that you want to go out and lead troops, but I am reluctant, I want to keep you by my side, and entrust my safety to you. Without you, I will not live alone." Shang Chengbi wrapped his arms around him. Holding the hand of the soldier talisman, "Ask someone to bring some ice cubes and apply it on your face. Go to bed early at night." After he finished speaking, he turned and went out, "Show the Yikun Palace."

"Jiang!" Cardinal Jin suddenly caught up and hugged him fiercely from behind, "Jiang!" He pressed his face against his broad back, as if he could never leave him again.

Shang Chengbi patted his hands, "Go and rest."

"You won't be with me anymore?" Cardinal Jin asked.When he spoke, he hugged him even tighter, as if he was never willing to let him go.

Shang Chengbi said, "It's not your gratitude that I want." He parted the two arms that were holding him, but turned around while holding his hand, "Chonghua, originally, I really wanted to—but, I I gave you the soldier talisman, not to exchange for you—”

"It's not an exchange. You shouldn't have said an exchange, Jia Tan, you said something wrong." Cardinal Jin looked up at him.

"En." Shang Chengbi nodded.

"Stay here. I'm really tired. Hold me and let me lean in your arms with peace of mind. We don't do anything. Hold me and sleep peacefully all night, don't go to others, okay? ?” Cardinal Jin asked him.

Shang Chengbi only felt that his whole heart would rather melt into his blood. He had to say that Cardinal Jin knew him too well.If at this moment, Cardinal Jin meant to tell him to stay and give him pleasure, he might not know how disappointed he was.He knew that Cardinal Jin had always wanted military power, but he gave it to him for his heart, but he didn't want him to bow down to serve him, but now, he said, he wanted to hug him by himself, and he wanted to do nothing, Holding him to sleep peacefully, Shang Chengbi thought, he loves himself after all.He said, "OK."

"I want you to accompany me every day. I don't want you to touch others, even if it is Concubine Lu." Cardinal Jin took his hand, and the two lay down together. In Cheng Bi's arms, "Jia, I'm really tired. In these years, I haven't dared to close my eyes easily for a moment, but I just passed out from the pain, and it felt like something was falling in my head. I was so dizzy that I couldn't be stable. "

Shang Chengbi put his palm on his back, and he gradually began to realize that he was becoming more and more gentle towards the person next to his pillow, and the time he had had him was much longer than the time he had possessed him.Such a posture without any lingering will actually make his heart feel extra stable, even closer than pressing him down and forcing himself into his body.Shang Chengbi said softly, "You never told me."

Cardinal Jin just mumbled a sound in his throat like a baby, and Shang Chengbi pulled Jin up a little higher, being careful not to let his shoulder blades get wind, "This is really good. From now on, will it be like this?"

Cardinal Jin clasped his back with both hands, "Don't go looking for others."

Shang Chengbi sighed softly, "You're talking childishly again. You are such a transparent person—"

Cardinal Jin's nails dug into the skin on his back, "I used to hear you say such things, and I would only get angry and push you further away, but now, I can't wait to hold you tight and keep you attached to me every moment. What if one day I am old?"

"I'm old too." Shang Chengbi patted him on the back lightly.

"There will always be newcomers in the harem," Cardinal Jin said.

"There is only one Jin Chonghua." Shang Chengbi kissed him intently.

Cardinal Jin pulled his arm, "I'm afraid of pain."

Shang Chengbi was stunned for a moment, Cardinal Jin said, "Don't let other women sleep on your chest."

His words were a little willful, a little domineering, and even a little childish, but Shang Chengbi felt comfortable listening to them for some reason, "Don't worry, they all crawl in from under their feet to serve."

"You are not allowed to keep any woman by your side all night." Cardinal Jin spread his five fingers, inserted them into his five fingers, and then clasped his fingers tightly.

"Okay." I let them go after luck.

"You are not allowed to share the bed with the empress." Cardinal Jin said, "The concubine is fine, but when you go to her place on the fifteenth of every month, I feel as if I have no light to see."

"This—" Shang Chengbi hesitated.

"It's okay if you can't do it, I can bear it." Cardinal Jin rubbed his forehead against him.

"I promise you." Shang Chengbi surrounded him.

Cardinal Jin smiled, even though he didn't light up the lamp, Shang Chengbi knew that his smile was very pretty.

"There is one more thing." Cardinal Jin gently rubbed his chest, "It will hurt a little, but I want you to agree."

"Say." Shang Chengbi ran his other hand down his long hair.

"I want you to brand my 'Jin' character on the ankle bone, so that when they crawl in from under their feet, they will know who you belong to." Cardinal Jin raised his arms and looked straight at the he.

Shang Chengbi's smiling face froze in an instant, and Cardinal Jin's heart was beating too hard. He knew that this request was not only presumptuous, but also risky, but Shang Chengbi suddenly got up and kissed him hard on the lips. The kiss was deep and long, but Without prying his teeth open, he said when Cardinal Jin was about to hold his breath, "I agree. However, I have two requests."

"I also—" Shang Chengbi didn't ask him to finish, "I don't need you to do this. As long as your body is mine, you will always have my slap mark behind you." He stretched out his hand as he spoke. Go into his little coat, put your palm on his buttocks, "Is the mark from last time gone? Isn't it time to shoot again?"

"I didn't do anything wrong." Cardinal Jin pouted.

Shang Chengbi pushed his little coat off, "I still don't get up and pout. I have to ask you every time, and don't say it next time when the imprint fades, it will be doubled."
