Self-help guide for non-professional young masters

The so-called watching the wind and rain in the world, reading the vicissitudes of life.It was because of this that Emperor Yuan named his secret force Guanfenglou.

No one in the previous dynasty or harem regarded the emperor as a puppet emperor who was allowed to be manipulated by the empress dowager, but no one knew that during the more than ten years he could not help himself, he also left for himself a promise to regain power after the empress dowager passed away. There is no way out, as long as he is still sitting on the throne, the imperial power will definitely belong to him.

Because of this, few people know about the existence of Guanfeng Tower. As one of the few insiders, what Xiao Beicheng has to bear is not only the honor and favor, but also the doubts and thorns that are approaching all the time, which will inadvertently hurt him dripping with blood , even more cautiously.

But now, Emperor Yuan's confidant is in front of him, and the only way to pave the way for what he will do is to prove his loyalty to others.

Hua Buzhi smiled and said: "The prince entered the palace late at night, probably not to report the crimes committed by the Southwest Commercial Bank to the emperor. If I guessed correctly, your purpose should be in the Palace of Compassion."

"The Empress Dowager was not harsh on the emperor's act of leaving the palace without authorization the day before yesterday, which is enough to prove that the person who appeared in the dragon robe that day was not the emperor himself. Then you, who once caused waves in the capital as a thousand-faced prince, became the only one who was suspected." Candidates. If you are really as rumored, you can transform into anyone at will, then I want to ask you carefully, what role did you play in the murder of the oiran?"

Facing Xiao Beicheng's questioning, Hua Buzhi was not surprised at all, as if he had expected to come to this step, with his hands behind his back, he came up to the man with his toes lightly, and said with a meaningful smile: "It seems The prince and Jun Shaoqing in your house are really a match made in heaven. Yes, I did intervene in that case, and even participated in it. I was the one who changed my appearance into Qihuang for Jianqiu. Now the case has passed For more than a year, the emperor has already forgotten about this matter, so why should the prince bring it up again."

"What about motivation?"

"That woman is indeed very beautiful and very popular, but she can't accompany and hold hands with the emperor, and she can't become the middle palace. The emperor, the court, and even Dayuan, the whole world, want a queen, not an unknown person. The bastard. As a subject, naturally I can't let this kind of woman stand in the way of the emperor."

"So Qihuang's death was basically the work of Guanfenglou, but it happened that Luo Yutang, who was obsessed with money, was related to the Southwest Commercial Bank, so if you want to use the king's hand to attack Ding'an Houfu, is it possible to get rid of a powerful enemy?" It couldn't be better, even if it doesn't work, we can see that we both lose in the fight, and it's not beautiful to reap the benefits of the fisherman."

Hua Bushi laughed loudly, "That's true, but the lord has forgotten that we are on one side, and it won't do me any good to hurt you, right? Besides, I'm not here tonight to listen to you complaining about me. No. I heard that something will happen in the prime minister's mansion tonight, so I couldn't wait to come here. Unexpectedly, it was a step too late, and Shaoqing caught the tail of the Southwest Commercial Bank. Now the prince is in a dilemma, rushing into the palace to make amends to the queen mother, but If you really do this, you will offend the emperor."

Xiao Beicheng puffed out the smoke disapprovingly, "So you are here to save me, and I have to be grateful."

"Don't, don't, don't say that, you're really offended. In fact, even if you enter the palace, the queen mother and her elders may not be happy. After all, you have always been close to the emperor, but you just don't take the Palace of Compassion and Ning seriously, and you are your own ancestor. Sun will also have suspicions. And at this critical moment when targeting Ding'anhoufu and being isolated by the Compassionate Palace, the only person who can give you a step down is the emperor. It would be unwise for you to curry favor with the queen mother. "

"Don't think that this king doesn't know. Even if he is in front of the imperial court, the emperor will show his face. If he doesn't see you behind closed doors and kneels for several hours, then this king will go to the Palace of Compassion and Ning. Do you lose your temper when you are this king? ?”

"The emperor said, I can't keep your bad temper. If the uncle and nephew hold grudges against each other, there will be no end to it. Otherwise, you should go back and wait, kneel in front of the imperial study and wait, and go back to bed for a night. It's also waiting, which one is comfortable, you still don't know... hey! I haven't finished talking yet, how did you leave, my lord."

Xiao Beicheng is also straightforward, he heard that he meant to prevent him from entering the palace, but he didn't say much, and he didn't mean to go back home at all, so he patted his sleeves and continued walking towards Miyagi.

Hua Buzhi could only stomp his feet and sigh, thinking that King Jin really had a bad time studying with a gentleman, and they are all irritating virtues, which is annoying.

However, just like what he reminded, even in front of the imperial court, Xiao Beicheng was shut out. Emperor Yuan was still angry and didn't want to see him at all, and King Jin who came to plead guilty could only put down his body and kneel outside the hall. previous guesses.

He waited from late at night until dawn, from when the lights were on until the sun rose, the man in the imperial study was leisurely, and after reading the scriptures by himself, the beloved imperial cat fell asleep, completely forgetting that there was still someone waiting outside. It was only when Eunuch Huan Yi, who came in to take care of washing and changing clothes, mentioned this matter, that he slapped his head.

"Oh, it seems that this is the case. Where is Beicheng? Let him in quickly, and don't kneel down my precious nephew."

Xiao Beicheng hadn’t suffered this kind of hardship for ten years at least. The last time he couldn’t afford to kneel was to watch for his mother when the eldest princess passed away. Seeing him walking staggeringly, Emperor Yuan was also distressed, and his tone was full of complaints: "When will your stubborn donkey temper change? You don't know how to change it. It's not like you don't know my temper. It will disappear after a few hours. Why do you have to suffer like this?"

Xiao Beicheng bowed his head and said: "I know that I have committed a crime, and my heart is uneasy. If there is no result, I will always be in fear. I came here to wait for the punishment for my peace of mind."

"What's there to lose, what's there to lose, you are my own nephew, you made a mistake, can I still kill you?"

Emperor Yuan gave Xiao Beicheng a blank look, then glanced at Eunuch Huanyi's expression, sighed and asked someone to move a chair, and helped Xiao Beicheng sit down, looking at the latter's eyes is the elder's love and helplessness for the younger, and his words are sincere Said: "Young people, you are impatient, it's not incomprehensible. You have not married a wife and had children at your age, you are still a child at all, and you don't know when you will grow up, alas..."

"I feel deeply guilty for disturbing His Majesty."

"Speaking of which, the queen mother was still talking about wanting to have a great-grandson a few days ago. My two princes are still young, so it is impossible. After thinking about it, she may be referring to you. It just so happens that I mean the same thing. Your age It's not too young anymore, it's time to start a family and start a career, why not... let me promise you a marriage."

It seems that Lord Long Live had already prepared for it. With a wave of his hand, some palace maids presented several scrolls. When they were unfolded, they were all portraits of dignified and elegant women.

Seeing this scene, Eunuch Huan Yi smiled, and stood aside from right to left to introduce to others, "Your Majesty, look, this beauty is Chun Ri Ji from Dongying, who is about the same age as the prince, and can play ten She is proficient in all kinds of musical instruments, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. The emperor intends to let her marry Da Yuan far away in order to achieve harmony between the two countries. Several of the princes among them already have royal concubines, so it might not be appropriate to marry as concubines..."

"People from Dongying? That's impossible. This is my only nephew. He is in full bloom and the trees are facing the wind. I treasure him. I can't let him be deceived by an unknown girl and replace him with another one."

"Then, the emperor has a look at this, Princess Lilith of the Persian Empire, with blonde hair and blue eyes, a straight nose, a small cherry mouth, a beautiful life, and good dancing skills. It is rumored that she is one of the best dancers in the Western Regions. live."

"Don't put all these foxy things on the show, but the princess of a country has become a dancer. How decent is it? If it is spread out, where will King Jin's face be put? Beicheng was brought up by the eldest princess in the palace since he was a child. The big one, born with a good-looking talent, knowledge and cultivation are all on the person, how can those vulgar fans be worthy of him? Change, let's come and see the daughter of a high official in the court, I don't believe he can Playing bachelors all the time."

"Hey, your majesty is right. There is indeed one in the roster sent to the palace this time, that is, Cao Nansheng, the daughter of Mr. Cao Nansheng, Cao Yuwan, the order of Zhongshu. It's beyond hope, and there's nothing to say about self-cultivation, just invite a few nuns to teach you the rules before entering the mansion, and that's it."

Seeing Emperor Yuan lost in thought, Xiao Beicheng sighed, it was clearly his marriage, why didn't anyone ask him what he meant?

The two of them sang together and commented on others, they just wanted to get to the point and stuff Cao Yuwan into Prince Jin's mansion.For someone else to get such a good thing as a marriage is a blessing that has been cultivated in several lifetimes, but he, King Jin, would rather be single for the rest of his life than find someone who will make him look angry after entering the door.

When he thought of a gentleman in the mansion who knew nothing about life and death, and knew nothing about it, Xiao Beicheng became furious, clenched his fists unconsciously, and his joints creaked.

Emperor Yuan, who noticed his abnormal reaction, turned around and asked tentatively: "Beicheng, do you not like the princess I chose for you?"

Hearing the disappointment in his tone, Xiao Beicheng couldn't nod no matter how desperate he was, so he had to bite the bullet and answer: "...No."

"That means you like it? It's just right. This girl had a relationship with you at the princess's spring banquet before. I thought you would like her a little bit after you met her. Why don't you just settle on this marriage?" Come on, choose a good day and auspicious day to marry her into the mansion, and give birth to a big fat boy next year, so that the Queen Mother and I will be happy."

From the beginning to the end, the matter of Xiao Beicheng's coming to plead guilty was never mentioned at all. On the surface, he wanted to arrange a marriage for him, but in reality it was just a threat. If he refused to accept the marriage offer and was implicated, even Junziyou might not be able to escape the guilt.

Although before coming here, Xiao Beicheng had already foreseen even the worst possible outcome, but the endowment of marriage was the last thing he wanted to think about, and it was also the most difficult to accept.

He knew that Emperor Yuan's move was definitely not a reward, but to make up for last night's mistakes in the rest of his life.

If you go astray because of the gentleman's wandering, then start with the gentleman's wandering and cut off all his delusions.

In doing so, he was really the emperor he was familiar with.
