Deep ice

The silver moon in the imperial city is far away and beautiful.

Beyond the Great Wall, the smoke of the wolf is burning fiercely and scorching the sky.

The official in the scarlet robe and black yarn pinched a memorial, frowned, and hurried towards the imperial study.

The candlelight was fading, and the profile of the man cast a graceful shadow on the golden jade.

The acid in his stomach trickled down, and the emperor vomited for a while, until he couldn't pour out any more.

Xi Lian stepped forward anxiously, bowed his back deeply, and raised a bright yellow porcelain cup painted with gold on top of the table.

Yuan Jing took a long breath, and took the mouthwash tea that Xi Lian handed over.

Xilian stared at the boots, "Your Majesty, what should we do with the people inside..."

Yuan Jing was about to speak, but suddenly he heard footsteps outside, the little eunuch who came in saw Yuan Jing, and knelt on the ground directly, "Report to the emperor, Minister of the Ministry of War Tian Chongguang, please see me."

Yuan Jing put the teacup in his hand on the tray held by Xi Lian, his handsome face sank,

"Xuan-"

Hearing this, Xi Lian hurriedly turned around, put the tray down, and gave the little eunuchs on both sides of the dragon bed a hard look, "Put down the bed curtains."

Hearing the words, the little eunuch moved quickly, and put down the thick crocodile twirled tent outside the dragon bed, covering the people inside so tightly that they couldn't see at all.

Huaihuai was really cold, and her buttocks were cold, so she turned over and burrowed into the soft yellow satin quilt.

After he calmed down, he remembered the same thing, turned his face towards He Yan, and glared, "What's wrong with you..."

He Yan smiled lowly, covered Huaihuai's mouth and nose with his fingers, and firmly pressed Huaihuai on the sapphire incense pillow.

Huaihuai resisted desperately, and vigorously picked He Yan's hand attached to his face, the palm was cold, just like his own.

"Keep your voice down," He Yan frowned slightly, "It seems like someone has come in."

Huaihuai struggled for a long while, finally showing a little gap, and then managed to utter a few words, "I'll keep my voice low, you're going to smother me to death."

He Yan let go, and turned his head to listen to the movement outside.

Huaihuai wrapped the quilt tightly, and his voice was extremely low, "Why are you here again, hurry up and leave before the emperor sees you, if you annoy the emperor, he will definitely expel you from the palace."

He Yan remained silent, his black eyes were like a dark night.

Huai Huai said again: "What are you listening to?"

He Yan didn't answer the question, and the words in his mouth were also inexplicable.

"Judging from the movement of this speaker, he looks like Tian Chongguang. I think he was still a minor official of the Ministry of Punishment when I was in court. I didn't expect that he would be able to get an audience with the Holy One alone today."

Then he sneered and said, "Sure enough, no one can use this Daping."

Tian Chongguang, Minister of the Ministry of War, was announced into the palace. When he saw Yuan Jing, he knelt down on his knees and bowed his head.

"The humble minister kowtowed to the emperor."

Yuan Jing slightly waved his hand, it was considered flat.

Tian Chongguang stood up, took a breath to calm himself, and then respectfully stretched out his hands and presented the folded paper up.

Yuan Jing leaned on a wide chair carved with dragons and phoenixes, and served the ginseng tea newly handed by the maid, with a cold and tired face.

Xi Lian hurried forward a few steps, took the notebook from Tian Chongguang's hand, and handed it to Yuan Jing respectfully.

Yuan Jing flipped open the brocade-wrapped memorial, stared at it for a while, and suddenly his face changed drastically, with a murderous look on his face.

Seeing the emperor's anger, Tian Chongguang was quite disturbed. Fortunately, the matter had nothing to do with him, so he didn't have to worry about causing death. He just stood quietly and waited for the holy voice.

With his fingers resting on the lid of the teacup, Yuan Jing closed the memorial, and with a sudden force, it shattered with a sound.

The tea water was all over the place, in patches, like star spots.

The surrounding palace people heard the sound and hurriedly knelt on the ground.

Tian Chongguang also knelt down, "The emperor calm down."

Yuan Jing laughed coldly, "I thought it was the improvement in the frontier war, but I didn't expect these people to even take the military salary for themselves, and even took the military salary I allocated to them, and gave it to foreign thieves, bribing them to slow down the soldiers..."

Tian Chongguang lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes, "I heard that this kind of atmosphere has existed since the time of the first emperor, and this time it is only because of the uneven distribution of spoils on the front line that such scandals have been revealed."

Yuan Jing's knuckles turned white, "How much is left of the military salary?"

Tian Chongguang was silent for a while, and then he gave up: "It's less than 5 taels."

When Xi Lian heard this, although his face was calm, he gritted his teeth with hatred in his heart.

The national treasury was empty, the emperor posted all his own money, but those moths who gave to the country were squandered, and even the enemy flames, it is really a crime of death.

Yuan Jingteng got up, becoming angry from embarrassment, "I'm so tired of working!"

Taking two steps hastily, he said again: "Xi Lian—"

Xi Lian knew what the emperor wanted to do at this time, so he quickly threw up the rice paper and ground it with dripping water.

The dark air in Yuan Jing's pupils is strong,

"Decree, the governor of the northern frontier city, together with his lieutenants, joined the army, stole military pay, colluded with the enemy and treason, and have sinister intentions. They will be escorted back to Beijing immediately and executed after the year! Confiscate the house! Execute the nine clans!"

Tian Chongguang frowned, although he had already expected that the emperor would be furious, but it was a bit too ruthless to cut down the people in the border town all at once.

In any case, this battle will continue to be fought, and the generals of Northern Xinjiang have been stationed in the border city for a long time, not to mention that they are very familiar with the terrain there, and they also secretly know the enemy's combat preferences, so it is not a good thing that they suddenly changed people.

Thinking of this, Tian Chongguang dared to speak,

"Your Majesty, I have something to say, I don't know if I should say it or not."

"Then don't talk about it!" Yuan Jing was furious,

"Get out!"

Tian Chongguang was speechless, his brow was covered with cold sweat immediately, and after trembling Xie En kowtowed, he bowed and retreated.

He Yan, who was eavesdropping in the tent, suddenly laughed softly,

"It's really a bad idea for the emperor to cut everyone off."

When Huai Huai heard He Yan's words, his body trembled immediately, "You are too loud..."

With a flick of Xi Lian's pen, the character '死' became out of shape.

Yuan Jing slowly turned his head, looking towards where the voice was,

The phoenix eyes are gloomy, like knives, as if they want to tear the tight bed curtain into pieces.

"Bring out—"

Xi Lian put down his pen and flirted with the palace servants on both sides, and the palace servants quickly hung up the curtain, while Xilian took the clothes that Huaihuai had just taken off, gently lifted the gauze curtain inside, and waited on Huaihuai. Huai changed clothes.

Huaihuai let Xilian play around, staring straight at the bright yellow silhouette outside the tent, looking a little crazy.

He Yan beside him frowned, staring at the man intently, with ruthless eyes.

When it was time to go out, Huai Huai did not forget to tell He Yan,

"Stay here and don't move, I didn't call you."

Xi Lian's hand to tie Huai Huai's belt stopped, his face wrinkled, but he didn't say anything.

After everything was sorted out, Huaihuai followed Xilian out, seeing the man's face getting closer and staring at him, although he was furious, Huaihuai's heart was filled with love, and he looked at him eagerly. he walks in.

Until the man with a white face will sneer and shout,

"enough!"

Xi Lian grabbed Huaihuai's clothes and pulled him back, "When you see the emperor, you have to kneel."

Huai Huai was not affected in the slightest, and happily knelt on the ground, raised his head, and looked at Yuan Jing's face, which was as calm as early spring and February.

Yuan Jing was stared at by him, his hair was all over, and he became more and more annoyed,

"presumptuous!"

Xi Lian on the side hurriedly opened his mouth and pointed, "When you see the emperor, you have to lower your eyes and lower your head, and you are not allowed to look up at Long Yan."

Huai Huai reluctantly lowered his head, but his eyes did not change their position, staring at Yuan Jing from their sockets, the whites of his eyes rolled a lot, it was really ugly.

A cold light flashed in Yuan Jingfeng's eyes, "Come on—"

Huaihuai hurriedly lowered his eyes and stared at the ground, "Don't be annoyed, I just don't look at you."

Yuan Jing frowned tightly, his eyes were as cold as lights, "What did you just say?"

Huai Huai said: "I didn't say anything..."

Yuan Jing said angrily: "Nonsense! I clearly heard you talking!"

Huaihuai thought for a moment, and suddenly realized, "Oh, that's what He Yan said."

Hearing this, Xilian almost coughed.

Huai Huai turned his head and waved towards the bed curtain, "Come here quickly."

Yuan Jing stared at Huai Huai, remained silent for a while, showing some strange expressions, concealing the strong hostility in his eyes, which became a little brighter.

"Then... what do you think?"

When He Yan met his eyes, he felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.

It seems to hate but not hate, but it is piercing to the bone.

Yuan Jing looked at him, "Don't want to talk?"

He Yanruo smiled vaguely, with heavy eyebrows and eyes,

"Your majesty governs the country wisely, why do you still ask me such a disastrous and ruined treacherous sycophant?"

The snow falls in front of the temple, and the west wind is weak.

Yuan Jing's black pupils tightened suddenly, his mouth was dry, and he couldn't utter a word.

He Yan had a mocking look on his face.

"The emperor cut people off like this, but it left the frontier unguarded and added hidden dangers."

Yuan Jing's face was pale and blue, and the corners of his thin lips were slightly pursed.

"How can I keep these corrupt officials and continue to ruin the foundation of the ancestors."

He Yan's eyes were shining brightly, with a bit of inadvertent laziness,

"The foundation of the ancestors? If you are so self-willed, you can only lose people's hearts. Why did any party spread all over the court at that time, and everyone supported it? That was the benefit I gave them, but it was visible."

"... "

"Only relying on the little salary given by the emperor, I can only drink the northwest wind."

"... "

"These people have been corrupt for a long time, and suddenly they are forced by the emperor to become upright officials. Does the emperor think it will work?"

"... "

Seeing Yuan Jing's face darkened and saying nothing, He Yan almost laughed out loud.

"You think so hard about the king of Zhongxing, but this country is already rotten."
