I run a newspaper in ancient times

Li Li couldn't sleep that night, and lay on the bed tossing and turning, not even thinking about applying the mask again.

In fact, he has always been wondering why Jiang Zhi, as the deputy general of Dingbeihou, would suddenly write such a letter, telling Dingbeihou that he had agreed with Daxia to open the city gate on a certain day according to the order and let Daxia soldiers drive straight in.

How could the Marquis of Dingbei have such an order, and the one who survived was just intercepted, sent to the capital, and arrived in front of the late emperor.

Through Yu Zicheng, Li Li already knew that when Marquis Wu Ning ordered to arrest Marquis Dingbei, the reply letter he found from Jiang Zhi was forged.

He always thought that Jiang Zhi's secret letter of collaborating with the enemy written to Marquis Dingbei was also forged by others. After all Marquis Dingbei was copied and beheaded, Jiang Zhi's family was also wiped out, and they ended up in the same miserable end.

Until the end, Jiang Zhi was crying for injustice, and for Dingbeihou... It seemed that he was extremely loyal.

But now everything is false!

It's still a prisoner change, and this person is still alive!

Fortunately, Fan Zhiyuan still thought that this Uncle Jiang died because of the encumbrance of the Wei family, so he felt guilty.

As for why Jiang Zhi colluded with others and framed his own coach, I am afraid that the answer can only be obtained by finding this person.

Yuan Meiqing didn't fully accept his fate. He was waiting to see if he could get a few lives in exchange for giving up his entire fortune.

However, his luck seemed to be at an end. He didn't hear the news of his success, but he got a report from Fan Zhiyuan to escort the people of Yunzhou, and he would be able to enter Beijing in about two days.

At this moment, Yuan Meiqing's hopes were shattered, and there was only one road left in front of her.

He said: "Go, give the empress a message."

In the harem, Shi Yu was forced to kneel in the imperial garden that day, and Emperor Yan hurriedly took him away when he came down from the imperial court, and immediately invited the imperial physician for diagnosis and treatment, causing all the eyes in the harem to be aroused.

Seeing the emperor's flustered and distressed appearance, everyone speculated that this rather old Shi Mei was about to be favored.And Concubine Min, who had been left out for several days because of the incident at court, was about to completely turn her back on yesterday.

Unexpectedly, Shi Meiren, who had suffered such a great grievance, did not keep Emperor Yan that night!

Seemingly hearing that Concubine Min sprained her ankle, Emperor Yan directly abandoned Shi Meiren, went to Changqiu Palace to visit Concubine Min, and did not leave that night.

Now, who doesn't know that this Concubine Min is the one he loves in his heart, even if the emperor is jealous because of the foreign race, or even turned against him, it can't shake his sincerity one iota.

Even those few days of neglect, the emperor must have missed him very much, right?No, as soon as I heard that I sprained my ankle and was injured, I immediately went to visit him nervously.

The splash of water that Shi Yu threw in the harem hadn't made any ripples yet, and there was no sound.

And on the second day, Qingchun Palace received an imperial decree, telling Shi Yu to recuperate well for a month and not to walk around.

This decree, which is called caring, but actually grounded, immediately aroused ridicule from the harem.

Although Concubine Min was domineering, everyone could see Meiren Shi's cruel tricks. Unfortunately, the emperor only had Concubine Min in his heart, so even if he deliberately sprained his feet, it would still be pity.

But Shi Yu knelt on the stone road for more than half an hour in vain, but was dissatisfied by the emperor.

It's just that after laughing for a while, thinking about themselves, the concubines lost their minds, and they couldn't compete with each other, so what's the point?

Everyone was only jealous of Concubine Min, and even felt that it would be a good thing if Shi Meiren was favored for a while.

Concubine Min raised her feet for three days, and Emperor Yan visited them for three days, which can be described as a great favor, and the two seemed to be glued together again.

But tonight, Fang'er beside Concubine Min quietly came in to report: "Your Majesty, Concubine Yuan from Jingning Palace sent someone to say that Concubine Yuan is ill."

Concubine Yuan is Yuan Meiqing's granddaughter, she has always followed the imperial concubine's head before, but now she is following behind the big and small two weeks, in line with her natal family, standing in the same team brightly, and not competing for favor.

If it wasn't for his grandfather, Emperor Yan would hardly have any impression of her.

Concubine Min, who always doted on others and didn't want others to share the emperor's attention, was extremely magnanimous today, and before Emperor Yan could answer, she asked in surprise, "Why did you suddenly get sick, is it serious?"

Fang'er replied: "It's serious, I can't even get up."

"Have you sent someone to invite the imperial physician?"

Fang'er hesitated for a moment, then shook her head, and now Emperor Yan frowned.

"Why, what's the use of asking the emperor if you're sick and don't ask the imperial doctor?" Concubine Min continued to ask as if she didn't know.

Fang'er replied: "Say, it's a heart disease, I implore the emperor to take care of me."

"This..." I've seen some fancy pet invitations, but I've never seen someone who came to the concubine's bedroom to cut off her beard directly. If it was normal, Concubine Min must be annoyed, but today she looked at Emperor Yan and said, "It's really strange." , Sister Concubine Yuan is not such a person, is she really seriously ill, Your Majesty, why don't you go and have a look?"

Emperor Yan looked at her with some doubts.

The latter smiled and said: "A few days ago, the empress said that the emperor is everyone's emperor, and the concubines can't always dominate, so that the rain and dew will be shared, so be more magnanimous."

Emperor Yan didn't know whether the Empress had said such words, but since he said this, even if it was directed at Concubine Yuan's grandfather, Emperor Yan would go and see.

Jingning Palace

Concubine Yuan was lying on the bed with a forehead wipe on her head, her face was completely white, she seemed to be seriously ill.

Emperor Yan was a little surprised to see her like this.

Concubine Yuan twitched the corners of her mouth, revealing a bleak smile.

She held Emperor Yan's hand tightly, and begged: "Your Majesty, my concubine's grandfather wants to see you, please show me your grace."

Emperor Yan was even more astonished that Yuan Meiqing came to see him through the harem, which meant that he didn't want to come to see him openly, but came secretly to avoid eyes and ears.

As for whose eyes and ears to avoid, Emperor Yan suddenly thought of Yuan Meiqing and Prime Minister Zuo's strange behavior in the court these days, and his heart moved.

However, Emperor Yan still broke away from Concubine Yuan's hand, stood up, and said coldly: "I have nothing to talk to him about, just pass on something. The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, Concubine Yuan, you have overstepped!"

Concubine Yuan looked sad. She staggered down from the bed, knelt on the ground, and said with tears in her eyes: "Your Majesty, this concubine is guilty. But this concubine was raised under her grandfather's knees since she was a child. How can she stand by and watch?" The Yuan family is overthrown?"

Seeing that Emperor Yan was indifferent, she crawled forward, grabbed the hem of the emperor's clothes, and continued: "The concubine's grandfather said that he didn't know people clearly and committed many wrong things of infidelity. It's not a pity, I really regret it. He didn't ask the emperor for forgiveness, he only thought that he had been in the court for many years and knew a lot of things. Before he died, he was willing to atone for his sins and tell the emperor, please give him this opportunity!"

Concubine Yuan's tears were more than matched with her haggard and sickly face, I felt pity for her, Emperor Yan frowned again, with a hint of hesitation on his face.

"emperor……"

Emperor Yan had no pity for Concubine Yuan, but he was interested in what Yuan Meiqing wanted to say.

Zuo Xiang is the biggest threat to Emperor Yan, Yuan Meiqing has followed Zuo Xiang for many years, so she must have many things in her hand.

It is a good opportunity for Prime Minister Zuo to abandon him now.

Emperor Yan said: "I will consider it."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Concubine Yuan kowtowed to thank her.

Emperor Yan felt that it was necessary for him to discuss with Li Li, but just as he got up and was about to leave, Concubine Yuan said: "Your Majesty, my concubine grandfather said, please keep Prince Yi from it, and you must not let him know."

Hearing this, Emperor Yan suddenly turned around, lowered his head, and stared at her dangerously: "What did you say?"

Although the tone was not serious, the anger and fear in her eyes made Concubine Yuan overwhelmed. She suddenly felt that she might have touched the emperor's scales.

"Chenqie..." Those eyes were piercing like swords, and the emperor's threat made Concubine Yuan shrink back tears in her eyes, and couldn't help but tremble in her heart.

However, under this danger, she still said with difficulty: "The concubine's grandfather said that he is only loyal to the emperor..." She paused, then closed her eyes as if desperate, and shouted, "It's not the prince!"

"Presumptuous!" The door of Concubine Yuan's bedroom was kicked open by Emperor Yan, the sound was so loud that everyone in Jingning Palace knelt on the ground and remained motionless.

Emperor Yan seemed to be mad, he didn't talk to these palace people, but just stared at Concubine Yuan fiercely like a wolf.

The latter trembled with fright, his mind went blank, and then he closed his eyes and passed out.

The palace maid cried and ran to find the imperial physician, Emperor Yan looked at the unconscious woman coldly, finally rolled his jaw, shook his sleeves and left.

With these nonsense words, Emperor Yan clearly knew their purpose.However, the uneasiness that he deliberately buried in his heart and that he tried his best to ignore rolled up, trying to occupy his mind.

On the way back to the main hall of the Ming Dynasty, the casual servants and guards all walked silently, holding their breath, for fear of offending the emperor.

It wasn't until he reached the gate of the palace that Emperor Yan seemed to slow down and said, "No news of today's matter is allowed."

Zhang Banban lowered his head and replied, "Yes."

Today's living man is the No. [-] scholar Liu Qiwen. He usually records the words and deeds of Emperor Yan silently behind the curtain of the main hall of Ming Dynasty, and he doesn't talk much.

Although according to the usual practice, emperors are not allowed to check the daily notes, but Zhang Banban can still take a look when he passes by occasionally.

And it happened that what Emperor Yan saw was what Emperor Yan cared about, and Emperor Yan liked him more and more for the knowledge and interest of this number one scholar.

Today the emperor was in a gloomy mood, and Liu Qiwen lowered his head and silently regarded himself as a transparent person. However, Emperor Yan still saw him, so he turned away from the left and right, and asked, "I heard that Liu Qing is familiar with historical classics, and there are all kinds of books. Dabbling, I wonder if there is a book about emperors coming to court and virtuous kings assisting the government, for me to read?"

Liu Qiwen was slightly taken aback when he heard this, he lowered his head and wondered why Emperor Yan suddenly asked such a question.

What is the emperor's presence, and who is the virtuous king?

Although Emperor Yan's tone was flat, but looking at the fearful looks of the waiters around him, it seemed that he had just lost his temper.

Obviously the current situation is very good, but the left minister has been suppressed in the court and doesn't speak much, why...

Suddenly, his heart moved, Fu Lin thought, and replied: "Your Majesty, there are such books, I will go and look for them..."

However, Emperor Yan waved his hands with a smile: "Not busy, just as you remember, it's still important."

He seemed very happy that Liu Qiwen said that, and his mood became better.
