[Red House] Men's clothing

No matter where you are, there will always be a few people who look like you can step on them casually, but in fact you can't afford to mess with them.

This is the case with the empress dowager.She is so old that she doesn't even know anyone, but for the people of the emperor's family, she is a living hero.

Many years ago, the Qu County Magistrate’s family never expected that their family would produce a nobleman. At that time, the eldest daughter of the Qu County Magistrate helped the family with housework, buying vegetables and sweeping the floor, fetching water and chopping wood. The younger siblings did not say anything when they were older. Ding her husband's family, at that time, it seemed that the girl's future would not be too brilliant.

Who would have thought that good fortune would trick people later, after entering the deep palace for many years, Concubine Qu was not a queen at that time, and she felt that she needed help from others, so the empress dowager entered the palace under such circumstances.She didn't dare to go out of line, even if the queen was her own sister, she didn't dare to break the rules.Later, Taizong passed away, and the two sisters depended on each other in the deep palace.When the empress dowager passed away, she repeatedly asked the emperor to take care of her aunt as her biological mother.The emperor has done the same for so many years.The empress dowager is a concubine on the surface, and the treatment she enjoys is indeed at the empress dowager level.The old lady knew her destiny happily in the palace and did not cause trouble to others. Now that she is ridiculed by a nobleman, not to mention the angry emperor, even the brothers today are going to come out to ask for an explanation.

Beauty Zhao is not Concubine Zhao Ling, so she didn't care about it today, she just threw it out, calming the family's anger.

A few days later, Cheng Yue brought his three sons who looked like live monkeys to Xiuye ​​Garden. The brothers set up a grill by the stream, pierced the meat with iron sticks and put it on the rack to roast. Situ Yue and Cheng Yue were responsible for brushing the sauce on it. Before the barbecue was cooked, Fu Yuan took Qiao Qiao and his two younger brothers to play in the water by the stream.

"That Zhao Meiren also has no self-knowledge, and doesn't look at who the Empress Dowager is? She thinks the old dowager is really an ordinary concubine of Taizong's dynasty." Cheng Yue brushed it with a brush, sweat dripping from his face. It dripped down, and since it was in the pavilion, Chu Fu hurriedly handed him a wet towel to wipe off his sweat.

"She knows, isn't their old Zhao family going this way, imitating the Qu family back then, the sisters tied together to fight a bloody road, don't even think about it, the Qu family never thought of meddling in the government, They returned to the countryside early, and they are now a rich family. Besides, the sisters of the Qu family are real sisters, born of a mother, with a big age difference. In addition, the old lady is honest and obedient, so there is no internal strife in the palace. They The Zhao family, the concubine and the concubine entered the palace together. Hmph, they didn’t get along when they were at home, and they couldn’t be tied together in the palace. Also, Taizong is different from his uncle. Others don't care about it. Not to mention for a beauty, let the beauty's natal family dictate in the court."

Cheng Yue nodded, "Speaking of which, Concubine Zhao Ling was only able to be safe until now with the support of her father. She has already caused public outrage by her behavior. Just wait for when Concubine Zhao Ling falls out of favor, and it will be the time for her to die."

Situ Yue smiled, "Brother, you are still too naive. I asked you to figure out Uncle's thoughts so that you can do things well in normal times. Now that you are in this situation, you have to make a move yourself to get a life for yourself." She glanced left and right, but there was no one in the pavilion, and said in a low voice, "Have you ever thought that Concubine Zhao Ling died when she gave birth. Under the protection of my uncle, let his favorite concubine go to the underworld, right? It’s very exciting, just thinking about it makes the skin all over my body tighten.”

Cheng Yue looked at her solemnly.

Situ Yue patted Cheng Yue's shoulder unceremoniously, "Are you very excited? Has anyone offered advice to you? Who told you, whoever said it will harm you."

Cheng Yue was stunned for a moment, then nodded. "Someone really told me this way."

"He also told you, please ask the queen to take action on this matter, there is nothing wrong with it. Don't look at me like that, I didn't find it out, I figured it out. This is the mantis catching cicadas and orioles behind. Zhao Lingfei died, and my uncle was furious Under the circumstances, thoroughly investigate the palace, the person who advises you is the one who framed you, he is your confidant, it is too easy to harm you, and it will be useless even if the grandfather stops you, if you don’t die, you have to take off a piece of paper. Layer skin, even if it has not been abolished, the position of crown prince is already on the verge of collapse. If the people behind the scenes pick up something to add fuel to the flames, hey, you will be out of luck. So the current plan is to let Concubine Zhao Ling safely give birth to the child. Then in a certain One day use the hands of the harem to get rid of Concubine Zhao Ling, don't do it yourself, as long as you move, someone will grab your pigtails, and then the outside will pull out the Zhao family. It takes 20 years for a child to grow up in the harem, 20 years, what? I can finish it. Speaking of it, I am most annoyed by these things. I fight endlessly every day, use whatever means, ignore cause and effect, the winner enjoys peace and enjoyment, and everyone else dies. This is the reason why I don’t believe in gods and Buddhas. After all, this There is no karma in the world. Brother, I want to go outside for a walk, three mountains and five mountains, how many scenic spots are more worth seeing than these."

Situ Yue turned the meat on the iron tongs, "I don't want to go on like this, I want to do something, something real, I want to streamline the officials of various ministries, and it has just been implemented, and I still want to work directly Li dug the canal, and now I have just started surveying. I think too much, but I am trapped in Nanyuan all day long."

Cheng Yue didn't speak.Situ Yue squinted at him and felt that he had nothing to say.The two of them sat opposite each other for a while, only the barbecue was sizzling, and the fat dripped down bit by bit. Situ Yue picked up a skewer and took a bite. "cooked"

The two called the children back, and a few younger ones ran in fighting.They gathered around the stove, looking at the barbecue with bright eyes.

"Don't worry, it's burning. Come on, this is from Fuyuan, Qiaoqiao, and Fupei. Fuze, have you washed your hands?"

"Father, feed me, hello son, son doesn't wash his hands anymore." The little guy hugged Cheng Yue's leg and acted like a baby.

"No, father, you feed me first, and you can feed my younger brother when I am full."

"Second brother, you are bad, I am the youngest, father will feed me first."

Situ Yue was given a headache by the little fellows, so he didn't say a word. He put the raw meat on the stove, and Qiao Qiao thoughtfully pasted it, "Father, you eat first." Holding the roast meat to Situ Yue's mouth, "Or The girl knows how to hurt people." Situ Yue said with emotion, and took a bite.

"I tell you, you can't eat meat for free, and your father will not feed you for free. After eating the meat, you will recite ancient poems. If you can't recite it, don't think about letting your father take you out next time."

Fu Pei let out an earth-shattering cry, but Fu Ze puffed out his small chest, looking like he was not afraid of reciting poems.

Situ Yue laughed, and said to Fu Pei, "Stop howling, your father didn't say to be careful with your skin, otherwise, you will be beaten if you can't get out, it's worse than this."

Fu Pei howled even more vigorously.

The atmosphere in the palace was very dignified. The fifth eldest princess looked at the emperor and then at the queen mother. She was a legitimate daughter and had a slightly higher status than the other eldest princesses. She would lift her skirt up the steps and sit next to the queen mother.

"Father, let's just let this matter go."

After the fifth princess finished speaking, she was slapped on the back by the queen mother.

The emperor snorted, "Don't talk about it, it's your fourth sister who doesn't love herself. She is full of civil and military affairs. She can't remarry whoever she wants, but it happens to belong to the Zhao family. No family is a good one."

After finishing speaking, he stood up and said to Liu Jinzi. "The Mid-Autumn Festival will be here soon. Don't let the fourth princess come back. Anyway, she doesn't see me as a father. Just let her go to the emperor."

After speaking, he went to the apse to change his clothes, and was about to leave Xiyuan with his hands behind his back.The fifth eldest princess hurried to follow, the weather was too hot, she changed into homely clothes in the Empress Dowager's palace, and followed the emperor step by step.

"Follow me for what?"

"My daughter wants to go back to the city. I know that my father is also going back to the city. I want to ride with you."

The emperor snorted.

The fifth princess hurriedly boarded the carriage, and graciously fanned the emperor in the carriage. "It's hard for my daughter to talk about it, but the fourth sister asked her daughter to intercede. Having said that, the fourth sister has been a widow for so many years, and Concubine Zhao Ling's brother has also lost his wife for a while. Go out with yourself..."

"It's as if it's your own. The Zhao family wants a lot, and it may not be very kind to your fourth sister's children. Don't worry about this matter. She wants to marry even I can't stop her, and her children don't go there either." Zhao Jiadai, I'm sorry for the old minister, I can't let the loyal minister fail in the future, the children of your fourth sister, those who are married, forget it, and those who are not, I will take care of them."

The fifth princess didn't say anything else, the truth is like this, the fourth princess has no reason to be forced, she just cares about seeing the popularity of the Zhao family.

In the blink of an eye, the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, because the emperor and the emperor were both in Nanyuan, all the princesses and clans rushed to Nanyuan, saying it was a family banquet, because the number of people in each family has been increasing in the past few years, the scale of the banquet is also increasing.

Mrs. Zhao took Qiao Qiao with her, because she was weak and didn't like to go out to socialize, and Situ Yue didn't want to have relationships with others. At this time, not many people came to have relationships with Princess Rong.In the harem, concubine Zhao Ling had the most people around her. The wives and family members of each family always went to meet her face to face. Compared with the attitude towards the empress, her cautious and attentive attitude was even more attentive.

Empress Mei didn't care either, she was sitting with the Queen Mother, and the Crown Princess was sitting beside her, and she usually ignored people and poured her own drink.

The outside banquet was halfway through, and as usual, the children of each family were going to compose poems. Before it was Situ Yue's turn, Cheng Ju whispered something in her ear.

"Qin Wu asked the slave to tell the master that the old lady of the Zhen family passed away this morning."

Situ opened his mouth happily, "Understood".

Look at the three kings who haven't received the news over there, and happily drank a large glass of wine.

At this moment, several princes played together to invite the emperor to drive to Iron Net Mountain together this autumn.All the lords spoke up, and Situ Yue was in a good mood. He left the table with his wine glass, stood behind the five kings, and listened to their speech. As they were speaking, the eleventh king directed the words to her, "Eldest nephew! You haven’t been to Iron Net Mountain, right? After the autumn grass turns yellow, the mountain is full of wild game, why don’t you get to know it?”

Situ Yue was very moved by what he said.

The emperor put down his cup, "Alright, although I can't pull the bow now, I am very happy to see you brothers flexing their muscles and bones. Some of the juniors in our family have never been on a horse, so it's time for them to experience it. It's the same as in previous years. Let the troops practice first, and in the next few days, we will go hunting."

The surrounding princes suddenly agreed, and they also kept saying yes today.Turning around, he ordered Situ Yue to ask the household department to prepare more food and good wine, so that everyone can enjoy themselves.

Drinking late at night, Situ Yue pretended to be overwhelmed with alcohol, and left early with Zhao Wangfei and Qiao Qiao. The next day, he heard that the emperor fell ill.

This time the illness was completely caused by sadness. Although he had been psychologically prepared, the death of Zhen Taijun still brought a blow to the emperor, not to mention that Zhen Taigui fainted when she heard the news.

Early in the morning, Situ Yue went to the emperor's palace to greet the emperor. The old man asked her to leave in a daze, and was then announced to the study by Jin Shang.

"Jun Ming, now that the old lady of the Zhen family is gone, you should make some preparations. After a few days, when your grandfather improves slightly, he will immediately set off for the south."

The purpose of going south is naturally self-evident.

This time, is Situ Yue in a hurry? "Grandfather is still on the hospital bed, and Taijun Zhen's body is still warm. We are so impatient, what will the world think? What will grandfather think? Uncle, I can wait for so many years, and I don't care about these few months."

Not very happy today.

"Also, Uncle, the Zhen family has been entrenched in the south of the Yangtze River for many years. The Zhen family collapsed, leaving a lot of vacancies. My nephew needs to make some arrangements first."

"I already have candidates for these vacancies. You don't need to pay attention to Jun Ming, just search the house."

"My nephew would like to ask, who will my uncle appoint to take over the position of Zhen Yingjia? Zhen Yingjia has been in the position of Yandao for several years, and his position is extremely important. officials to cooperate."

Situ Yue didn't say anything today, and Situ Yue had a bad thought, "Isn't it Zhao Niangniang's elder brother?"

"What are you thinking? Their family has just been dismissed by your grandfather, how can I let them re-enter the official career at will." Seeing Situ Yue's expression of disbelief, he leaned on the armrest next to Situ Yue, "Good boy, I know that the Zhao family's ineffectiveness has made you angry, but uncle is now middle-aged and has only had one son, and he values ​​the child in Concubine Zhao Ling's belly a little more. After all, he is your future brother. I want to promote some Zhao family members so that your younger brother will look good. However, the post of inspector and censor must be a cadre to be competent, let's discuss this matter later."

"Uncle can't delay this matter any longer. If my nephew wants to raid Zhen's family, he must dismiss Zhen Yingjia first. Only after obtaining evidence of Zhen Yingjia's corruption can the family be justified. Although my nephew is domineering, he is not unreasonable. Only when you have evidence can you search the house, otherwise, there is no basis for doing things, even if you are not afraid of the mouth of the world, you must be worthy of a word of reason."

Jinshang wanted to say more, Zhu Jun came in, whispered a few words to Jinshang, Jinshang nodded, and let Zhu Jun back down.

"Uncle still has some things to do, Jun Ming, you go back first."

Situ Yue stopped Jinshang, "Uncle, we haven't had a good chat for a long time. If someday my nephew will be the host, please uncle, let's chat about the Zhen family and the current officials."

"Sure," he said and hurried away.Situ Yue stood up and looked at Jinshang's back, pondered for a while, and when he went out, he met Dai Quan, the No. [-] proud eunuch in front of Jinshang.

"My lord asks you..." Situ Yue rolled his eyes and didn't ask any further. She had the impression that Dai Quan was not a good person. It is said that he was close to the concubines in the harem, and he was a person who pushed high and stepped down. People, their character is criticized.The topic changed to another one.

"I ask you, is the emperor awake now?"

"If you go back to the prince, not yet. Where are the imperial physicians and imperial physicians serving now?"

"Oh, my king, let's go too."

Situ Yue glanced at Dai Quan and left.

The emperor was ill, not to mention the concubines who were serving in front of the sick bed, the sons were also sitting in front of the sick bed.The third king's face is as sinking as water now. Since he ascended the throne today, he has started to live in seclusion. It is rumored that he hangs out with the concubine Ji in the palace. Looking at his face now, it seems that he has done too much.

The fourteenth prince, Situ Xuan, greeted Situ Yue from afar, "Nephew, you are here." He sighed a long time, "May the gods and Buddhas bless you, father, to be all right."

"My nephew doesn't believe this. It's better to stare at the imperial doctor and give medicine to grandfather wholeheartedly than to ask gods and Buddhas."

"I want peace of mind. Where are you from?"

"Where is Sixth Uncle? Sixth Uncle was called away in a hurry. I thought something happened on the emperor's side."

Situ Xuan hesitated to speak, and then said nothing. The two of them lifted their robes and sat on the steps. Situ Xuan held his face in sorrow.

Situ Yue had no choice but to persuade him, "Grandfather is fine, don't worry."

It's really that Situ Xuan is not like his sisters, the princesses are now all out to curry favor with Imago and Concubine Zhao Ling, hoping for a better life in the future.Little did he know that this angered the emperor, when the emperor was in the Mid-Autumn Festival, no one showed good looks except the eldest princess and the fifth princess.The princes still hope that the emperor can live a long life. Compared with half-brothers, the real father will be more reliable.

The two of them sat on the steps all the time. At noon, the emperor woke up. He first asked Zhen Taijun about his funeral, and then fell silent.

In Nanyuan, many people felt relieved.Ten days later, the provincial examination was just around the corner. As the emperor's only family member on the examination household registration, Situ Yue watched as the emperor silently carried his examination basket into the examination room.This time, Situ Yue sent him to the entrance of the examination room, and she waited outside until the emperor left the examination room disheveled.

There were many people who came out together, the emperor bid farewell to everyone, and only said to Situ Yue, "Go back, go back to Xiyuan."

When the rankings were released, Situ Yue took people to squeeze to see the results. The emperor was No. 1 from the bottom, but he was considered a master.

Master Juren listened to the results in the pile of flowers and plants in Xiyuan, and nodded.He also explained that when he went out to visit friends, everyone in Xiyuan except Concubine Zhen from the Queen Mother to the maids breathed a sigh of relief. The cloud of Taijun Zhen's death was completely gone, and the emperor started his acting life again.

That night, holding a candle, Situ Yue followed the emperor to the emperor's private treasury.Opening the door, the emperor asked to replace the candles with torches, and the grandparents and grandchildren stepped into the warehouse.

"Your wealth is beyond compare." Situ Yue pulled his eyeballs from a row of jewelry shelves and said with emotion.

"This is the collection of Tai-zu, Taizong and me. Don't look at jewelry, it's deceptive, good boy, do you remember what you told me in the imperial study? Fruits and seeds are not important. Naturally, they are seeds. The same is true in my private treasury now, jewelry is secondary, what is important is," the emperor twisted open an inconspicuous wooden shelf under the jewelry box, and the wall creaked open, revealing rows of sword.

"The blade of a magical weapon is more important than jewels. Choose one, and you will go to Iron Net Mountain in a few days. With weapons, you can protect yourself."

Situ Yue handed the torch to the emperor, and walked in front of the row of swords, the swords glowed coldly under the firelight, Situ Yue held his breath, and touched a dagger with both hands.

The author has something to say: I kept everyone waiting for a long time, because I didn't catch the bugs this morning, so I didn't send it out in time, and I added some more in the afternoon, and it will be fatter than before.

Love you (*￣3)(ε￣*)
