The Submissive Emperor

Shen Lian doesn't have any other advantages, he just takes advantage of it and does things for him.The Ministry of the Interior has bought and sold officials over the years, and there are not a few officials below the fourth rank who want to curry favor with him, gold, silver, jewelry, beautiful concubines, and child prostitution.The Qinghe county magistrate's move was even more ingenious, and he directly offered to build a living temple as an ancestor.

"No wonder Shen Lian is so desperate." Lou Jing sneered, this Qinghe county magistrate is really not afraid of death, he dared to use the embankment money to build the Shengsheng Temple.

"Go back to the farm and rest." Xiao Chengjun rewarded Yun Shiliu and asked him to go back first, the solemnity on his face did not decrease at all because he got the truth.

Yun Shiliu took a look at Lou Jing and saw that the master agreed, so he accepted the reward and bowed to leave.

"Go to the inner room and rest for a while, I'll write a book." Xiao Chengjun got up, patted the head of the princess, turned and walked to the study.

Lou Jing looked at the prince's back and narrowed her eyes thoughtfully.

Right minister Chen Shichang walked into the imperial study room, looked at the two stacks of memorials scattered in front of Emperor Chunde, his eyes flickered slightly, and without saying anything, he knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, Mount Tai has suffered an earthquake!"

"What did you say?" Emperor Chunde almost jumped up from his chair, "What's going on?"

Mount Tai has been a symbol of the prince since ancient times. Mount Tai is turbulent and the country is unstable. This is an extremely bad astronomical phenomenon.

"It wasn't a big earthquake, but the Zen altar on the top of the mountain was damaged, and the Zichen Ding fell down, together with Tianzhu Xiang, and fell down the altar." Chen Shichang presented the memorial in his sleeve up.

In ancient times, Mount Tai was the seat of the emperor's Zen seat, and later it was regarded as the symbol of the prince of the country. The Fengchan Terrace on the top of the mountain is the ancient altar for offering sacrifices to the sky, and it has been meticulously repaired throughout the dynasties.The Zichen Ding was placed by Yu Chao Taizu himself, and it was used as an incense burner to place the incense of Tianzhu.

"This..." Emperor Chunde frowned, the vision from the sky, what is the oracle?

"Your Majesty, this matter is no small matter. It's better to let the people of the Qin Tianjian figure out what the order is, so we can make arrangements early." The right minister looked worried about the country and the people.

"That's right, Huaizhong," Emperor Chunde calmed down, "Go and ask Qin Tianjian to come, I have something to ask."

Qin Tianjian was called to the imperial study by the emperor because he didn't know why, and asked why Mount Tai was shaken, and the prisoner trembled in fright, and knelt down with a thud.Qin Tianjian usually calculates the solar terms in the lunar calendar, and calculates auspicious times for the royal family. What he fears most is encountering such a vision from the sky, because celestial phenomena are often connected with human affairs, and if it is not good, he will lose his head.

No one understands what the Taishan earthquake means better than Qin Tianjian Jianzheng.You can say that this is because the prince has no way, and the vision from heaven alerts the world; you can also say that it is because the emperor intends to abolish the prince, which leads to the wrath of the sky and the collapse of Mount Tai...

"This... I heard it all of a sudden. There is no equipment at this time, so I can't deduce..." The supervisor leaned over and put his head on the ground, the sweat on his forehead immediately wet the carpet.The turmoil in the sky these days, Qin Tianjian has been staying out of the matter, did not expect to be implicated so soon.

"Then when will the show be performed?" Emperor Chunde asked impatiently.

"Chen... I need to watch the stars at night, and the soonest... will be tomorrow." The supervisor didn't dare to look up, and tried to push back the time as much as possible, so that he could go back and think of a way.

"You go, tomorrow morning, you must figure it out." Emperor Chunde waved his hand, feeling a little uneasy.

"Yes." Qin Tianjian was busy kowtowing his head to thank him, and when he left the imperial study, he fled towards Qin Tianjian.

Right Minister Chen Shichang glanced at the figure who was retreating from the corner of his eye, the corners of his lips hidden in his long beard slightly raised, lowered his eyes, and bowed to leave.

Xiao Chengjun sat alone in the study, dipping his pen and ink, but couldn't write for a long time.

On the table was a jade pen washer sent by Lou Jing. The pink and white jade lotus flowers stood gracefully, the petals were as thin as a cicada's wings, crystal clear and beautiful.Jade in the water is the most moist and elegant, just like Lou Jing's gorgeous handsome face, it is too beautiful to behold.

His Royal Highness closed his eyes, took out a small sweet white porcelain jar from the dark compartment under the table, took out a small milky white candy from it, and slowly put it into his mouth.

"Your Highness has liked that kind of candy since he was a child," Chang En, the chief eunuch of the East Palace, heard the princess ask about milk honey, and the decent smile on his face suddenly became real, "I used to bring it to His Royal Highness. It’s a small sugar bag, which is filled with silk candy and milk honey, and His Highness always eats up the nougat first. But the empress doesn’t let you eat more, Your Highness can only get that bag for a month.”

Hearing this, Lou Jing couldn't help showing a little smile on his face. He remembered the first time he saw Xiao Chengjun when he was a child, His Highness the Crown Prince gave him a candy. In this way, His Highness the Crown Prince had already treated him very well when he was young. Generous.

"Reporting to the Crown Princess, someone from outside the palace came to report that Mrs. Pingjiang Hou and General Zhengnan have arrived outside the city." Le Xian walked over quickly, with a happy face.

"Seriously!" Lou Jing immediately stood up, Mrs. Pingjiang Marquis is naturally the eldest aunt, and General Zhengnan is the title of the second uncle. It has been less than a month since he wrote the letter to the uncle, and they have rushed over from Lingnan , is really a great surprise.Thinking about it this way, I couldn't sit still anymore, and turned around to go to the study to find my prince's husband.

Xiao Chengjun slowly closed the memorial, looking deeply at the jade pen washer on the table with deep eyes, and saw his own princess rushing over in a hurry, with a calm expression, she put the folder in her hand into the book on the table, "Why? so happy?"

"Eldest aunt and second uncle have arrived outside the city." Lou Jing smiled and took His Royal Highness's arm, "Does Your Highness want to go with me?" Knowing that he was in a bad mood today, she wanted to take this opportunity to take him go out for a walk.

"Alright." Xiao Chengjun nodded slightly. The Crown Princess married into the East Palace. People from her family were supposed to come, but because this big wedding was too hasty, the people in the Pingjiang Marquis Mansion couldn't catch up with the wedding. Come over here, he should go and see if he wants to.You can't do anything in the palace, so it's better to meet the uncle and aunt that your princess misses so much.

The two of them changed their clothes and asked Chang En to prepare a gift. When they got out of the palace gate, they saw a young man standing outside the door, saying that Mrs. Ping Jiang Hou and the general had arrived at Ping Jiang Hou's mansion in Beijing.Madam knew that Lou Jing would come out to look for them immediately, so she sent a servant to guard in front of the palace gate.

No matter where the Duke's family of Yu Dynasty guards, there is an ancestral house bestowed by the Taizu in the capital.Marquis Pingjiang's house is also in Luotangfang. Although he has not lived in the capital for a long time, the house here is still guarded and has never been abandoned.

Mrs. Pingjiang Marquis sat at the top of the main hall, discussing with the housekeeper about the arrangements for her stay in Beijing these days, while her second uncle, Xu Che, sat silently at the side, slowly wiping the silver gun in his hand with a cloth towel .

The family of the Marquis of Pingjiang, Xu's family, has a family tradition of marksmanship. Xu Che, who was only 24 years old, killed the southern barbarians with a silver spear. The first emperor Longyan was very happy, and he specially named him General Zhengnan.

"Second Uncle, if An Guogong comes here soon, don't be impulsive." Mrs. Pingjianghou explained to the housekeeper, looked at Xu Che who had angry eyes, and couldn't help but sigh.

The servants in this mansion have been in contact with Zhuquetang all the time. They just entered the house, Xu Che grabbed the housekeeper and asked about the affairs of Duke Anguo's mansion. After hearing the process of Lou Jing being married off, he was about to go there Going to An Guogong's mansion, Mrs. Pingjiang Marquis and the housekeeper took a lot of effort to stop him.

Xu Che snorted, and was about to say something when he looked up and saw a figure running towards here, and immediately stood up, "Xiao Jing!"

Lou Jing pulled His Highness the Crown Prince, stopped the boy who was notifying, and ran directly into the lobby.

"Zhuoyu..." Madam Pingjiang stood up when she heard the sound.

"Aunt, second uncle!" Lou Jing couldn't help but pounce on her relatives whom she hadn't seen for many years.

The second uncle caught the nephew who rushed over, and rubbed his head fiercely, "You brat, I've grown so tall since I haven't seen you for a few years!"

Lou Jing smiled and wriggled in her uncle's arms, avoiding the ravages of that big hand, poked her head out to look at Mrs. Pingjiang Hou, "Auntie, second uncle bullied me again!"

Mrs. Pingjianghou's originally serious face now showed a smile.

"Come on, Auntie, take a look," the eldest auntie smiled, but her voice was choked with sobs, she slowly stretched out her hands to hold Lou Jing's face, "Son, my poor son..." She said As he spoke, he couldn't help but shed tears.

Although she persuaded her second uncle to be impulsive, the moment she saw her nephew, she still couldn't stop her heartache.The sister-in-law left early, and the old An Guogong was looking after them, so they were relieved, who would have thought that this cruel father would treat his son like this just after the old man of the Lou family passed away.Why does such a sensible child suffer so much?

Lou Jing held her aunt's hand helplessly, struggled to escape from the strong arms of her second uncle, brushed her messy hair, and looked at Xiao Chengjun who was standing on the threshold with a little apology, "Your Highness, this is the It's my eldest aunt, Mrs. Pingjiang Hou, and my second uncle, General Zhengnan."

The expressions of the two elders who came back to their senses changed, and they hurriedly saluted His Highness the Crown Prince, only then did they just focus on looking at their nephew, forgetting that there was someone beside Lou Jing.

"You two don't need to be too polite." Xiao Chengjun hurriedly stretched out his hand to help, "Since Zhuoyu is the crown princess, the two of you are also my uncle and aunt."

Mrs. Pingjiang Marquis looked at His Royal Highness, who was noble, gentle and courteous, and felt at ease. At least her nephew would not be embarrassed if she married this prince.Xu Che looked at Xiao Chengjun's calm and majestic gestures, and was a little dazed for a while.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also secretly observed the two cousins ​​of his own Crown Princess.The first aunt is dignified and kind, with a noble temperament; the second uncle is tall, with handsome features, and a pair of cold star eyes are quite similar to Lou Jing, and he can't help sighing secretly, it really is a nephew following his uncle.
