Clam Pearl

Emperor Tiancheng naturally knew who was kneeling outside the imperial gate and who was kneeling outside the Shuize Hall, but he really didn't want to see these people.Sometimes, it takes courage to meet an enemy.

He dawdled and pretended to approve a few papers, but he couldn't pretend anymore. After all, Hu Ji was his teacher, and it was not a good reputation to make the teacher kneel outside the hall when he was nearly [-] years old.

Zhao Chunrun sighed helplessly, and gave Sun Xi a slight wink. The kid immediately understood, and when he walked out the door, he stretched out his hand and grabbed a little eunuch, and he slapped the kid's nosebleeds twice with his outstretched hand. It smeared his face again, wiped his face with bruises, and then dragged the little eunuch by the collar to the outside of the Shuizawa Hall, cursing as he walked: "Kill you, you stupid thing, you are so big!" Why are things not reported?"

The child didn't know what mistake he had made, and was terrified, but he kept trembling and begged for forgiveness.Sun Xi dragged him all the way to Hu Ji, let go and pushed the little eunuch to the ground, patched his foot again, then ran to Hu Ji, bowed and saluted, and confessed sincerely: "Aiyoyo , What did you say, old master, you are so old, why don't you ask someone to pass it on? You are different from others, and you want to see His Majesty, it is not a matter of time? Oh, these shameless bastards Son, if you don't call for a few days, just...you see...this matter..."

Hu Ji waved his hands, and said with a sense of arrogance and disgust: "That's all! The old man is not allowed to report!"

Sun Xi felt contemptuous in his heart, knowing that this old guy had never looked down on him, but he didn't show his face, and he was still full of flattery. He helped Hu Ji up from the ground with his own hands, and helped him pat the dust on his knees. Be careful all the way, and support him into the Mizusawa Hall with a good posture.

Emperor Tian Cheng watched Hu Ji enter the room, put aside the bamboo scroll beside him, and said in surprise, "Mm... Teacher? But I don't know when you arrived?"

Sun Xi plopped down on his knees, pleading guilty again and again, Zhao Chunrun was furious, first ordered someone to grant a seat to his teacher, and then ordered someone to hit that ungrateful forty board.Soon, there were several cries of begging for mercy and pleading guilty outside the courtyard, and some people were dragged down.

From the beginning to the end, Hu Ji did not intercede to anyone. In his opinion, eunuchs are animals that are not as good as dogs.Hu Ji even seldom mentions such words as eunuch and eunuch, he just thinks it is dirty!In the East Palace, there is a unique culture, that is, the prince's masters often have some friction with the eunuchs, and this can be regarded as a feud.

Now, the matter was caused by him, not only did he not plead for mercy, he even stroked his beard and said in a very gratifying tone: "Your Majesty respects heaven and things, pity the poor and the weak, if the late emperor, the holy ancestor saw..." He said, suddenly sobbed.

Zhao Chunrun was disgusted in his heart, but he wanted to coax him. He coaxed a few words, Hu Ji stopped his sorrow, and began to talk about his set of great principles, the way of being a king, the way of governing the country, and the principles of benevolence and righteousness. Dao, all the way he talked, there was white foam on the lips when he talked.

Zhao Chunrun pretended to concentrate on listening to the lecture, and even took a pen to write down a few notes there as if he understood it, but he just didn't reward him with a cup of tea to quench his thirst.

Hu Ji talked for a long time. After all, he was old and weak. He had no choice but to scrape his lips with his hand, licked his lips and said, "Hey, Your Majesty, look at the old minister. He is a disabled man. I can't keep my mouth shut when I see His Majesty, Your Majesty must... don't dislike the old minister's wordy..."

Zhao Chunrun smiled kindly and said: "The teacher's lectures are always the best. I used to like to listen to them, and my brother loved to listen to them even more. At that time, my father often said that among the more than 20 university student lecturers in the East Palace, the teacher who talked about eloquence was the best. It is the first in the world."

Hu Ji stroked his beard and smiled complacently. Suddenly, he felt that his words had a strange smell. Before he could understand them, he asked him again: "I don't know why the teacher entered the palace today?"

Only then did Hu Ji think of the business, hesitating for a while and didn't know where to start playing.

The first thing is to ask for a crown prince, and the second thing is that King Sishui and King Lu are still kneeling outside, what should we do?After thinking about it, Hu Ji gritted his teeth, leaned on the chair, looked very old, and said to His Majesty tremblingly: "Your Majesty, the old minister treats the king with respect and sincerity, so I don't care if I say something or not. ..."

Zhao Chunrun said with a smile: "If the teacher has anything to say, just say it. The relationship between me and the teacher is different from others."

Hu Ji nodded, and looked eagerly at a teacup on the imperial case, but he couldn't see what he meant, and just looked at him with a smile.

Hu Ji had no choice but to say: "Your Majesty, today the old minister saw two princes kneeling with the King of Jibei outside the imperial gate... It's almost noon today, and they are still young. If there is something wrong, Your Majesty needs to discuss it privately." Education is the only thing, the two princes are of noble birth, this... it is not very good to be punished like this in front of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty."

Emperor Tiancheng's face turned pale immediately, and he snorted softly: "I don't know, the teacher, those two little bastards are going to piss me off! In the early years, they were not raised by my side, but now they are finally together, and I can't help it." I'm partial. I don't have many heirs, and I don't ask them to be more close to me. I just want to fulfill my father's responsibility!

But...they didn't want to make progress, and they dared to intercede for those annoying things in Wukang in front of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty!Their books have been read into the dog's belly!What I don't know is that both of them have no schooling and no experience at all, so they dare to show such a big face and come to kneel at my imperial gate!Who gave them the guts? "

Hu Ji saw that he was furious, and he could not help but speculate in his heart. He murmured and explained: "Presumably, the two young highnesses have grown up with King Jibei since they were young, and they have a close relationship. I don't know, why don't His Majesty ask them to come in and ask them carefully."

Emperor Tiancheng stood up, walked around the room a few times angrily, and said as he walked: "These princes, who were born in aristocratic families, were surrounded by six nurses, six palace servants, and a group of servants. Surrounding them in groups, they dote on them without knowing the heights of the sky and the earth! My father is no better than the fathers of the people, and I don't expect them to come to me to perform some filial piety. These years, the state affairs are getting tighter day by day, and the money in the ministry It is also left handed and right handed, but I have what I should have for these two princes, and I never lack them. They enjoy the people's service and read the great principles of the world. What should be done? What should not be done? Do you want me to teach it myself?"

Speaking of this, he came to Hu Ji and said with a very sad expression: "I don't know the teacher, the child Yuan Xiang was raised by the prince since he was a child, he is really sensible and filial. Good red ginseng, he doesn't eat it himself, he sent it to me first, treats me like a father, treats me like a son, there is a saying among the people in the past, follow the good ones to learn well, these two children of mine are worth more than a lot of money." Said At this point, Zhao Chunrun suddenly showed some gratifying smiles on his face, and whispered to Hu Ji again: "I don't know, teacher, a few days ago, Li Zhai found a famous doctor in Yingzhou. His family's ancestors were all treating bruises. He is a good hand, and there are ten volumes of ancestral bone prescriptions. This famous doctor will arrive in Shangjing soon. At that time, if the child Yuanxiang is blessed, I will return the throne to him. I also said at the beginning No, I will never compete with Yuan Xiang for this position..."

For a moment, Lord Hu Ji was like five thunderbolts, and his dream of being an emperor was instantly shattered by this lightning bolt.

Then, what was said today, and how he called the two princes in to scold him, and one of them rewarded fifteen boards, Hu Ji looked as if he was stepping on the clouds and mist, he was really out of shape.

Back then, he saw that Emperor Tiancheng, Zhao Chunrun, was not a material to be a lord, but this person had such a blessing!It is a coincidence that this blessing of his now falls in his own home, and sometimes Hu Ji is very proud when he thinks of how he laid the groundwork.Becoming the wife of the co-lord of the world is a beautiful thing that Hu Ji laughs out in his dreams.

What do you say now?But where did he find the famous doctor?If it is true that the king of Jibei is well, other people Hu Ji don't know, the temper of Emperor Cheng of the heaven is the most calm and leisurely character. Hey, if I knew today, he shouldn't have been teaching him those things back then. Mei Lan Ju Zhu, Feng Yun Yu Xue's idle way, really did not expect this person to be so contemptuous of that position, if he said no, he really didn't want it!

Hu Ji was thinking in his head in a daze, but he didn't want to. A box of jujubes and dried pears from last year were brought to the front hall by a little maid.

"Stop." The guard on duty in Shuize Palace stopped the little maid and asked, "Which palace?"

The little maid replied, "From Chaohua Palace."

The guard asked again, "What's in your hand?"

The little palace maid replied with a wooden face: "It's two kinds of fruits and ten kinds of desserts in the palace that the empress rewards Mrs. Hu."

This little palace lady does not have the prestige of a queen's palace. Everyone knows that she is not allowed to enter the harem, so the back is just a tomb of the living dead.The majesty of a queen or empress is nonexistent here.

The guard saw that the Empress Empress delivered a box of fruit uncharacteristically, so he didn't dare to call the shots. He just ordered someone to inform the head manager, Sun Xi, and Sun Xi arrived in a short time. Several guards said: "The empress's filial piety to her father is worthy of being such a frightening brat like you? Hurry up and pick it up. After a while, the boss will come out and take it away..."

Hearing what Sun Xi said, the little maid gave a little blessing and went back.When she walked away, Sun Xi smiled lightly and said to the eunuch on duty behind him: "Go to the storehouse and search for a dozen or twenty kinds of fruits of the season. It's rare for our empress to give something back. It can't be too shabby either!"

Not long after, Mr. Hu Ji came out from His Majesty's room, and Sun Xi directed the people to go up and carried him a dozen boxes of the Queen's rewards for him to pack.The empress has never rewarded her natal family with anything in the past few years. If in the past, the old lady took it, she would not know how sincere and grateful she was.But today he doesn't know what's wrong, he's like a puppet born straight, his hands and feet are stiff and he doesn't say anything, thanking you for being so out of his mind.

Watching Hu Ji leave, Sun Xi hurriedly came to the Shuize Palace, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw the things thrown on the ground by His Majesty. He quickly knelt down, tidied up carefully, and persuaded.

"Your Majesty, you lose your temper when you lose your temper. Don't throw things away. Later, when the master finds out, he has to say you again. This is a good thing. It will be an antique handed down from generation to generation. What a waste..."

Zhao Chunrun was so exhausted from acting today, he could only lift his face and close his eyes powerlessly and smiled and said: "If you don't tell me, how would Ah Zhao know... How did I hear that the queen gave me something today? "

Sun Xi squatted on the ground, then explained the matter emphatically, and finally added: "Your Majesty, leave early (jujube), leave early, leave early, what do you think the empress thinks?"

Zhao Chunrun laughed, sat up and gently shook his head and sighed: "What do you think? She has never been smart... If she knew how to think with her head... she wouldn't be here today... You are doing well, go back and find your county magistrate Grandpa wants to reward it!"

Sun Xi gathered the scrolls together, placed them one by one, and said as he put them away, "Your Majesty's words are interesting. A slave is an eunuch, so how dare you ask the county grandpa for a reward?"

Zhao Chunrun stood up, sighed a long time, and replied rather helplessly: "I have always been a poor family, and now food, clothing and flowers are all paid by your grandpa. It's probably not as much as your county lord, you can choose it yourself, and you will suffer a loss, so don't cry and feel wronged with me, I won't accept your set..."

Sun Xi smiled, and didn't care too much about rewards. He had only one wish in his life. When he got old, whether he could continue to serve at the Duke's house, and he didn't ask for a lot of space. In the back of the chicken coop, he could be assigned as he wished. As long as he was doing work, he would happily hang out there and wait for death.Come on, let's save this reward, and talk about it later.

"Your Majesty, Fu Ji is coming back today, you see, we'd better go there later." Sun Xi picked up a good thing and reminded him quietly.

Suddenly Zhao Chunrun was in a bad mood again, and Ah Zhao didn't let a few people in his heart, but he didn't help him protect them.

"Hey!" Zhao Chunrun threw down his sleeves, walked out of the Shuize Palace slowly, and walked along the palace wall and along the path unhurriedly.

Gu Zhao woke up early today, and he couldn't sleep well because of something on his mind in the past two years.

Fu Ji came back today, where should I live?It's inappropriate to live in Qushui, it's cold and humid there, Fu Ji's bone injury has just healed, and he needs to be raised in a dry place.

Therefore, in the early morning, Gu Zhao asked his nanny to look at the map of the garden several times, and finally chose a two-entry yard facing south for him.That place is no worse than the Suyun Courtyard where he lived at the beginning. They all have independent doors and are good places where you can live behind closed doors.

Because the courtyard was full of flowers and trees, Gu Zhao also wrote a plaque with his own hand and asked someone to hang it, saying: Green Cong.It was the first time for him to inscribe a plaque on the book on his right hand. After mentioning it, Gu Zhao was inevitably a little shy, but thinking that this is his student, let's be ashamed.

Gu Zhaozheng made good arrangements, but he didn't want to come over carefully from the front yard. First, he carefully lifted the curtain to look in, then curled his lips, hesitantly lingering there.

"Come on, what kind of stupid wooden stakes are you standing there for?" Gu Zhao said while pointing to a row of wood chips on the case, Bi Liangli nodded, turned around and collected the samples to make a plaque.

Xizai smiled shyly, stood at the door and said, "Seventh Master, Third Master Maofeng from the Eldest Master's House, and Uncle Maojia from the Fourth Master's House are here...then you?"

Gu Zhao took the hot towel handed over by an eunuch and wiped his hands: "No see."

Xizai is in a dilemma: "Master, they are all in the concierge of our house, and they won't leave. It's been a few days. Look...the people who come and go are all relatives. Outsiders don't know what to say when they see them!"

Gu Zhaowen was furious when he heard that, he stretched out his hand and threw the cloth towel into the copper basin, and asked outside through the curtain, "Whose shift!"

I don't know who answered at the top of the tree, Gu Zhao cursed through the door: "Hurry up, throw those annoying things out, beat them out... don't look at whose face, whose face They have a father and a family, and they all come to trouble me for what to do, don’t they just look at me as a child, and see me alone as a door? You go, take Gu Maofeng and ask him, don’t care about this thing, don’t care about throwing it away He can fill the well and accumulate manure washers as he pleases! Well, what does this thing come to my place every three days!"
