great mandate

Today is fifteen, no matter how upset and worried about Zhan Qingshui, He Fangzhou still got up early to wash up, carefully put on the royal green woven golden makeup flower flying fish suit, tied his hair and wore a crown, but did not wear an embroidered spring knife, Just like this, I went to the palace to meet the emperor, report on the affairs of Dongchang in the first half of the month and the plan for the second half of the month, and listen to the teachings of the Holy One.

To show respect, He Fangzhou knew that the emperor would go to the early court first, so he still went ahead of time, and waited quietly in the corridor outside the Hall of Qinzheng, where the emperor daily approved memorials and met with ministers in private.

This matter is very important to He Fangzhou, but the emperor may not feel the same way. He planned to go for a walk in the imperial garden when he came down from court, but the eunuch beside him hurriedly reminded him, and he suddenly realized: "Today Son fifteen... I forgot. Then let's go to Qinzheng Hall."

Going outside the Hall of Qinzheng, the emperor saw He Fangzhou slightly bowed there from a distance, and when he heard the voice, he hurriedly turned around and came to pay his respects.

Compared with Shen Wuji and Zhan Qingshui, the emperor didn't have much contact with He Fangzhou. Firstly, because Dongchang was outside the palace, He Fangzhou would not come to hang around him easily. Second, he had many discussions with the queen and felt that he could not The common people feel that they are too close to Dongchang, after all, the word Dongchang has never had a good meaning.

When the emperor entered the palace, He Fangzhou followed him and turned his head to pay respects.

"Get up," the emperor waved the others to go out, and said to He Fangzhou with a pleasant face, "There is no outsider."

He Fangzhou thanked him, got up and stood, still lowered his head and eyes, not looking directly at him.Hearing the emperor asked him to start, he began to report evenly.

The emperor patiently listened to him, and didn't care about anything else, so he asked with concern, "Please tell me more about Zhan Qingshui."

He felt very sad.

Before Shen Wuji was not around, he disliked Zhan Qingshui.

But now that Zhan Qingshui is gone, he just realized the beauty of Mengdie.

As for Mengdie, casually speaking, he is mediocre, but to put it mildly, he is intelligent and naive, very well-proportioned, neither is too good, and no one else is as beautiful as him.

He Fangzhou said: "Dongchang conducted many investigations, and finally found out the whereabouts of Mr. Zhan. He was captured in the capital and taken to a barren mountain in the south. According to investigations, there are many strange things in this barren hill. During the previous dynasty, there was a It was a stockade, but after repeated wars, the stockade was abandoned. The government went to check the number of people and household registrations, but there were no people there. But occasionally people passing by said that there were people there.

The spies investigated there secretly, and finally saw a few adults who bought food, cloth and other items from nearby towns, entered the stockade, opened the trap in a remote place and went in.The spies stayed until nightfall, entered through the mechanism, walked through the long tunnel, and when they came out again, they saw a rough plank road leading to the mountain.After some trials and twists and turns, a person from Dongchang slipped in, finally found out the situation, and spread the news that within the next day at the most, they can cooperate with the inside and outside to wipe out this place in one fell swoop, and rescue all the captives including Eunuch Zhan . "

The emperor frowned and said, "What are they trying to do?"

He Fangzhou said in a warm voice: "The slaves speculated wildly that they fled to the mountain because they could not bear the war or the harsh government and taxes, but after all, the mountain was isolated from the world and could not communicate with outsiders. Go outside and kidnap people to replenish."

"Then why are they so powerful that they can still restrain Zhan Qingshui? Isn't Zhan Qingshui good at martial arts?" the emperor asked.

He Fangzhou frowned slightly: "About this point, the servants are also very puzzled. But I haven't found out the follow-up yet."

……

The matter was resolved smoothly.

The so-called "Peach Blossom Spring" was vulnerable, and was surrounded by Jin Yiwei, who divided it into two sides, the captives and the captives. The captives were sent to the government for investigation, and the captives went home by themselves.As for the captive children born in Taohuayuan, I thought it was a problem, but after all, blood is thicker than water, and almost all of them took the initiative to ask for it.There are also some people who married the original residents of Taohuayuan, that is, the captives, and now they can't let go, and they want to take them away with them.As for these entanglements, Dongchang didn't bother to take care of them, and left it to the local government to handle them. They just had to return to Beijing immediately after Zhan Qingshui.

In about ten days or so, Zhan Qingshui finally traveled thousands of miles back to the capital, washed up at home, and hurried into the palace to apologize and thank him.

After hearing what happened, the emperor sighed: "Hey, you also have good intentions. Who would have thought that there are such villains in the world who use people's good intentions to do bad things. It is really abominable and hard to guard against." He added, "Yes, see You are in good spirits and have no other damage, which is a blessing among misfortunes. Later, you will go to the Royal Hospital to have a look, and check both inside and outside, so as not to find any root cause that you don't know about. In the next few days, you There is no need to rush back to the palace to serve, and take good care of her at home."

Zhan Qingshui hastily knelt down and prostrated again: "The Holy Majesty is kind and merciful, and this servant is very grateful."

"Hey, I'm with you, who is with whom?" The emperor waved his hand boldly.

When He Fangzhou heard that Zhan Qingshui had returned to Beijing, the big rock in his heart finally fell to the ground. After much deliberation, no matter what, it was a brotherhood after all. He still had some doubts and asked clearly, so he went to visit Zhan Qingshui's mansion in light clothes. .

He Fangzhou didn't notice anything because Zhan Qingshui hadn't come back because of the delay in going to the Royal Hospital, so it's okay to sit in the living room and wait for a while.He doesn't come and go to the Zhan Mansion much, but there are only a few people in the Zhan Mansion, they all know him, and they can see the master's enthusiasm for He Gonggong, so they always treat him with respect.

Today, however, He Fangzhou noticed a trace of hesitation, worry and hesitation in the respect of the servants in the Zhanfu.

He Fangzhou was drinking tea in confusion, and soon he knew the reason.

"Who is this guest?"

He Fangzhou heard the voice, looked up, and saw a young man who looked like a scholar, looking at him curiously.

He put down the teacup, looked at the butler with a smile, and said, "Who is this?"

housekeeper:"……"

He laughed twice, swallowed his saliva silently, and said, "Back to Eunuch He, this is Mr. Mu. He came back with the master, and he was also taken away." Then he said to the young man, "Go back For Mr. Mu, this is Eunuch He, the admiral of Dongchang."

He Fangzhou nodded suddenly.He had heard from the person who returned to the East Factory one step earlier to report that Zhan Qingshui was forced to marry a young doctor there.The doctor seemed to be called Murong, and said that there was no one at home, and he wanted to come to the capital to make a living, so he left with Zhan Qingshui along the way.

"Hello, Mr. Mu." He Fangzhou stood up, nodded to him with a friendly smile.

Murong hurriedly also saluted him: "Eunuch He, I have heard about you for a long time. Please sit down, please take your seat."

As he said, he walked towards the chair of the chief teacher by himself.

He Fangzhou stood at the guest seat, looked at him with a smile, but felt a little muttered in his heart.

Why does this Murong look like this is his family... Isn't it a fake marriage?

Seeing that he didn't sit down and neither did he himself, Murong asked politely: "What's wrong?"

"Oh" again, embarrassedly said, "I thought you were the admiral of Dongchang, and I already knew it. Because I have always heard that Dongchang is well-informed... I and Qing Shui are married."

"..." He Fangzhou said with a smile, "Isn't it forced by the situation?"

"That's right," Murong said with a smile, "you can get along for many days, pretending to be husband and wife, love each other in front of people during the day, and sleep together at night. I'm already broken, so it's inevitable that I will fall in love with him for a long time."

He Fangzhou: "..."

Murong saw him standing still, thought for a while, then went to the guest seat and sat down next to him, very gentle and polite.

He Fangzhou hesitated, sat back, picked up the teacup, and drank tea with downcast eyes.

Murong looked at him, and asked again: "Eunuch He is the first person to come to express condolences, so he must have a good relationship with Qing Shui, right?"

He Fangzhou held the teacup in his hand and said with a smile, "I have been with you for many years."

"I see." Murong also smiled.

According to the order, Zhan Qingshui checked the inside and outside of the imperial hospital, and there was not even a scrape on the skin.

He didn't dare to think that He Fangzhou would go to his house to look for him, so he was in no hurry to go back, and first stopped by the Supervisor of Rites to see Shen Wuji.

Shen Wuji saw him with disgust written all over his face, he asked him if he was not hurt, and urged him to leave, don't come here to be ashamed.

"I heard that Eunuch Shen is in a hurry." Zhan Qingshui said.

"Oh, don't be in a hurry? If you don't come back, who will do the work? Don't we all have to do it? Our family owes you, was your father in the last life?" Shen Wuji rolled his eyes at him, "Go away."

Zhan Qingshui sighed: "Your temper is really... okay, just get out, and before you get out, I'll just ask you something."

"I don't want to hear it." Shen Wuji said contemptuously, "What can you do, our family is too lazy to listen..."

Half an hour later, Shen Wuji and Zhan Qingshui appeared at the gate of the Zhan Mansion together.

"Aren't you too lazy to listen to my business?" Zhan Qingshui was a little embarrassed and asked pretending to be impatient.

"Our family was ordered to send you back." Shen Wuji said.

"..." It is obvious that you ran to the emperor and told the matter, and the emperor asked you to inquire about the excitement!

Zhan Qingshui was so anxious that he scratched his head, and said in a low voice, "I'm asking you, you're going too far..."

"Our family is with your brother. Brother is in trouble, can you not come and see the excitement?" Shen Wuji raised his eyebrows, gave him a very unbeatable smile, and walked up the steps by himself, "Don't delay It's time, and our family is still in a hurry to return to the palace."

Zhan Qingshui stared at his back twice angrily, so he had no choice but to follow in, but within a few steps, a servant greeted him, called Shen Wuji respectfully, looked at Zhan Qingshui in embarrassment, and stopped talking for a while , whispered: "Eunuch He has been here for a while, and said he came to visit the master."

Zhan Qingshui: "..."

"Master Mu is entertaining him." The servant said.

Shen Wuji burst out laughing.

"..." Zhan Qingshui turned his head and looked at him expressionlessly.

"See what our family is doing?" Shen Wuji raised his hand shyly, covered his mouth with his sleeve, but couldn't stop the gloating smile in his eyes, "Hurry up, don't stand here, it's lively inside. "

The author has something to say: Shen Wuji, who is yin and yang, let out a yin and yang laughter.

The gloating Shen Wuji let out a gloating laugh.

The yin and yang Shen Wuji let out a gloating laugh.

Shen Wuji, who was gloating at other people's misfortune, let out a strange laugh.
