All your life is gentle

On August 24th, the Taishi held a pile of memorials and asked the emperor for approval.They were all the plans for the fall of Fenglan Pass put forward by the Secretary of the Ministry and the Ministry of War, and announced to the ministers when they were preparing for the court meeting.Zhao Ju didn't dare to be lazy about the notebooks that his uncle brought by himself, so he took a pen to give instructions one by one, and pretended to look at them a few times.When the news of the fall of Fenglan pass first reached the palace, it really frightened the Long Live Lord.But since my uncle said that Fenglan Pass was originally just an outpost, and Xiabei Pass was heavily guarded, solid and safe, so why worry?

After finishing this matter, Ning Shuyuan said: "Your Majesty, what about the Xie family child that I told Your Majesty earlier, did Concubine Chi not tell you?"

"Didn't uncle say that after they recognize their grandfathers, learn the rules well, and then go to the palace to meet Concubine Chi?" After approving the memorial for a long time, there was nothing interesting, the emperor was a little impatient, "I am not a child, this Are you still restless about something?"

Ning Shuyuan's expression remained the same: "The old man is just afraid that His Majesty will spoil Concubine Chi, and he will be happy for a while, so he forgets how to measure."

Zhao Ju thought to himself: I am afraid that the queen will complain to her natal family again.Didn't dare to refute directly.Ning Shuyuan also took advantage of the situation to leave.

After sending off the uncle of the country, Director An reported that Mr. Fu was here, and the emperor felt better.

Fu Chuqing took out a few pieces of paper from his sleeve: "Your Majesty, this is the book sample presented by Fu Wentang, please have a look at it." An Chen knew what he was holding, so he stepped back a few steps, and let him and his ministers read it together .

Zhao Ju took it over, and there are a total of four painted erotic palaces, with fine brushwork and heavy colors combined with Qingming style cursive, gorgeous and graceful, except that the composition and borders are in four different styles.After sweeping roughly, I suddenly felt that my eyes brightened and my whole body was hot, so I just sat down and took a closer look.

In the first picture, the peach blossom forest is full of pink eyes, the grass under the trees is like smoke, and marigolds are scattered here and there, and the silk flowers on the high stone next to it are clinging to each other.A man and a woman accomplished good deeds in the grass, and their colorful clothes were hung on the treetops.The picture is gorgeous and gorgeous, all using positive and realistic techniques, showing every detail and full of spring.There is a poem inscribed on the painting, which says: "Hundreds of grasses are blooming obliquely together, and the love is turned into a rain cloud platform. The spring breeze can also solve the wishes of the world, and the golden cup and silver radish are planted together."

Zhao Ju said to Fu Chuqing who was standing by the side: "This painting is loose, but the poem is written implicitly. It's very good." Take a closer look, the faces of the characters are delicate and spirited. its sound.I read the four lines of the poem again, and my eyebrows twitched: ""Calendula and silver radish are planted in one place"--the metaphor is novel and appropriate, with profound meaning..."

"Your Majesty Shengming."

Look at the second one.This painting is obviously a summer scene in a courtyard.There is a clump of bamboo on the left, and a small pond on the right. There are a few lotus flowers in the pond, which is very pure.However, on the swing frame in the middle of the yard, two naked people were sitting on top of each other, one facing the other and the other sitting behind.Because of the face-to-face relationship, the viewer only sees the snow-white back, entangled thighs, and flying hair.The swing is swinging in the air, and the whole picture is full of dynamics, ready to come out.

With a "gudong", Zhao Ju swallowed his saliva: "This idea - who came up with it... Hehe!"

Fu Chuqing thought in her heart: "It seems that I really didn't find the wrong person for this matter. The boss of Fuwentang is indeed a knowledgeable and interesting master. But Long Live wants to play this trick..."——It's nothing else, the security work It's not easy to do...

Zhao Ju looked at the painting for a long time before turning to read the poem on it. He said: "The wind is light and the day is high and the afternoon is not sleepy. The atrium is busy but the swing is soft. The oblique bamboo shoots penetrate the stone near the steps, and the little lotus draws its sheath to reveal the tip of the lotus. "Laughing: "Hey! What a "busy atrium but soft swing"! Well, the puns in the last two sentences are also passable..."

After admiring it, I looked at the third one with great interest.

This picture has a plot, it seems that two people are having a private meeting by the back garden gate, and a clump of begonias covers most of the figure.The man lifts up the woman's skirt with both hands, and the bright moonlight presents the beautiful scenery under the skirt to the audience without reservation.

Zhao Ju looked at it for a while, then suddenly said: "It's half of it...it's more interesting than taking it all off..." Then look at the four lines of poems on the painting, which read: "The light shirt covers all the tender red and fades away, and Baotian scratches her head with jade. Bu Yao. I hold Qiu Siwan in my arms, and the dew and begonia are so delicate." Looking up to Fu Chuqing, he said: "The person who wrote this poem is also very romantic. He didn't write about the cloud and rain at the time, but he wrote about the state of coquettishness afterwards, and secretly wrote Indulging in love, forgetting that parting is approaching, joy tinged with sadness, that's why I'm extremely ecstatic..."

"From what Fu Wentang said, it should be that famous writers were invited, and the writer didn't know that what he was doing was a tribute to the palace."

"No wonder. It's nothing more than a painting. The idea lies in the conception. Kung fu is not necessarily rare. This "Qingming style" character is really free and easy, and not just anyone can write it." He nodded again, "It's good not to know. If you don't know, you can write it. It was written so casually."

Fu Chuqing cheered: "It's a pity that Your Majesty has lost a bosom friend in the field of love and moon."

"Haha..." Zhao Ju laughed, "That's right."

Pick up the fourth.It's winter in this one, and the scene is moved indoors.The underground heater burns incense, the air is smoky, and the two people in the heavy gauze tent hug each other into a ball of white flowers.The man was stretching out a hand to touch the Jintuoer and the silk belt on the desk, and he didn't know where he planned to use it.A narrow smear of red beans on a jade plate emerged from the gap in the gauze tent, standing tremblingly.

Zhao Ju thought about it, and sighed: "This is almost completely covered...It's more attractive than the half of it, hehe..." Narrowing his eyes, shaking his head and reading the poem on the painting: "The glass in the palm plays with beads, the amber in the cup Laughing and dumping the pot. The ice contains plum blossoms, competing for beauty, and the snow enters the shade of pine trees.

"This poem..." seemed to be unable to think of how to comment for a while.

Fu Chuqing tried to interface: "Weichen thinks that if this poem is not inscribed on this painting, I'm afraid I can't see the meaning of eroticism at all..."

Zhao Ju patted the table lightly: "That's right! Without this painting, this poem would be very leisurely; with this painting, it would be very evocative and beautiful. The words are compared, and the sentences are double-entended... Haha, good!"

Read it again from the beginning to the end, pinched the fourth one and said to Fu Chuqing: "I like this look more, the diagonal double hook flowing moiré is elegant and elegant, and the fine brushwork and heavy color in the middle are just right. As for paintings and poems—you and Fu Wentang Some people said, just follow this standard, and reward heavily."

It is said that the Xijing Imperial Palace has one of the most special places, that is, it sits facing south and facing north—just the opposite of the palaces of previous dynasties, and it does not conform to the sage's regulations on the emperor's rituals in "Zheng Ya".It turns out that according to the tradition of the Great Xia Kingdom, in order to express their loyalty to the emperor and the imperial court, the residences of the exiled princes all face the direction of the capital.It was also when Emperor Ruiwen Zhao Cheng'an was a prince in Shuzhou, he left the Yiwang Mansion facing south and north.After several repairs and expansions in later generations, it became the palace for the emperor to visit Shuzhou.After Zhao Ju entered Shu, he naturally settled here first, and then he did not move again.

At first, some people also questioned the orientation of the palace.Meng Boru, the right chancellor, made an impassioned statement at the court meeting: "Your Majesty looks north from the Sun Palace, and never forgets the Northern Expedition and the Northern Return. Weeping in the heart, weeping and tasting courage, how can we, as ministers, live in peace..." Hearing this, no one People squeaked.At that time, everyone was a little shocked, and Meng Xiang's self-consciousness as the chief assistant was temporarily inflated, and he was especially agitated on such issues.At that time, Zhao Ju had just experienced fleeing for thousands of miles, and he was as panic-stricken as a bereaved dog crossing the street, so of course he didn't want to make any more troubles.Before he could open his mouth, Prime Minister You had already convinced the ministers, it was very good.It's just "weeping heart, weeping blood, lying down and tasting gall" or something, does it sound so frustrating?

Xijing is limited by the terrain, and it is impossible to build the entire city into a concentric square chessboard pattern like that of Jiyang.After these years of continuous operation, it has generally formed a shape with Nanshan as the barrier, Yuliangou as the protective moat, and the east and west squares as flanks. "Chongde" and "Chongzheng" two squares are close to the imperial palace and are the seat of the central government and the capital.There are also four squares of "Enze", "Enrong", "Tongze" and "Tongrong", where princes, nobles, bureaucrats and gentry live concentratedly.In addition, because most of the literati hang around in the east, there is a saying in Xijing that "the south is rich and the north is poor, and the east is elegant and the west is vulgar".

In fact, as the capital, Xijing has a palace city but no imperial city.From a defensive point of view, it is more strenuous; from an offensive point of view, it is also strenuous, which is considered even.The inner court guards are in the palace, the imperial guards are distributed around the palace city, the city security is handed over to the Department of Defense, and the capital is guarded by the Ruijian camp.It is the Lifang Division who is pervasive in checking for leaks and filling in vacancies.

According to the current rules, every five dynasties will be held (except for festivals and bad weather), and every ten days will be closed.August 25 is the first court meeting after the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Since there was no imperial city, the officials of the last dynasty first went to the government offices of "Chongde" and "Chongzheng" to wait.The fifth watch drum sounded, the Rihua Gate opened, and the emperor received civil and military officials in the Chenghui Hall.In the twilight of dawn, the fire is like a dragon, and the tower is like a city. The officials are solemnly dressed and file in. They climbed up to the white marble grading platform in front of the hall one by one.In addition to the servants and guards inside and outside the hall, thousands of people gathered together, and there was no sound.

The small square at the end of the queue is the foreign ministers and other people who are going to be summoned temporarily.Zi Shi stood in the line boredly, just turned his head slightly, the servant opposite with the lamp and fan glared at him viciously, and immediately stood awe-inspiring, not daring to do anything wrong again.

As for Zi Zhou, he was far away from himself.The Secretary Department belongs to the core department, and officials line up to stand on the right side of Danji in front of the hall, and those from the third rank and above are eligible to stand in the hall.The distance between the fourth rank and the ninth rank outside the hall is tens of feet.The distance of tens of feet, the difference in level, is more than thousands of miles.Zi Shi tried his best to hold back a yawn, thinking to himself: It is true that a high-ranking official crushes people to death.I also thought that Gao Pin was standing close and could hear the emperor talking to the officials, so he probably wouldn't be so sleepy...

I was dragged out in the middle of the night to review the sacrament, and then there was endless waiting.Like him, who has no rank and no rank, and was summoned temporarily for some special reason, he must wait until the emperor and the officials have finished their business before they have a chance.If you accidentally yawn when you are sleepy, you will be disrespectful, and you may lose your head immediately.I can only keep turning my head, forcing myself to stay awake.Zi Zhou is also suitable for this line of work in the secret channel. He is proud and outstanding, and he is born to be an official...

Seeing the plaque above the main hall from a distance, three gold-plated bells and tripod inscriptions on the sapphire blue glazed base: "Chenghui Hall", almost sneered. The word "Chenghui" originally meant looking north and thinking about returning.Now that Xirong has already established a country, and the capital is still in Jiyang, these two words are completely surrendered.I don't know whether the Xijing ruler and ministers ignored it or deliberately pretended to be stupid...

Inside Chenghui Hall.

After the Minister of the Ministry of War reported, the officials were in an uproar.The victory of Fenglan Pass was celebrated on the night of Mid-Autumn Festival. Who would have thought that on the day when the news of the victory reached Xijing, this great pass had already fallen into the hands of the enemy.

Fenglan Pass is a perfect natural danger, one man guards the pass, and ten thousand men cannot open it.Food, grass and troops are sufficient, as long as the defenders do not slack off, there is absolutely no reason for them to fall.The guard Hou Jingrui knew very well that this place should be defended rather than attacked, and he has been relying on high cliffs and deep ravines to hold out.Because of this, in the fifth to sixth year of Tianyou, Fu Ding attacked Fenglan Pass for the first time. After a stalemate for several months, he was forced to return without success.

In July of this year, the Xirong army once again approached the pass. General Hou repeated the old plan and guarded it tightly.Since the opponent carried a large number of siege equipment, and even changed the way of blindly attacking in the past, they began to try devious methods such as climbing mountains and diving, and the defensive pressure was invisibly increased.Despite this, the Xirong side consumed a considerable amount of arrows and troops, and has never been able to achieve a substantial breakthrough.

At the end of July, Hou Jingrui suddenly changed from passive defense to active defense. He began to use bows and arrows and firearms to cover the city, and organized death squads to actively go out to fight.The reason for this action is due to pressure from two aspects.On the one hand, because the Fenglan Pass guards are mainly local soldiers from Shuzhou, and nearly half of them are from the Yi tribes in the southwest.On the other hand, as the Xirong people made significant progress in clearing the Yongshu official roads in the north, the threat of enemies on both sides of Xijing became more and more intense. The court urgently needed to ease the tension and keep putting pressure on the front line.Under such circumstances, General Hou finally decided to adjust his strategy and take a risky attack.

In the first few tentative attacks, Fu Ding's side was caught off guard by the equally brave and sturdy Southwest compatriots due to unexpected attacks, and retreated repeatedly.The officers and men of Fenglanguan were eager to win, and everyone was dazzled by the victory, and suddenly realized that the soldiers of the Western Army were nothing more than this.While sending people to Xijing to report victory, switch and extend the enemy at the same time, try our best to organize a decisive frontal battle.It's a pity that the narrow Shu Road is obviously not a place suitable for large armies to fight, and any changes in formations are useless, and finally evolved into a one-on-one close combat.At the end of the war of attrition, Xia Jun wanted to retreat and had no way out, but was bitten by the enemy, broke through Fenglan Pass, and chased straight to Xiabei Pass.If it wasn't for the fact that the soldiers of the Western Army were not familiar with the terrain, they would only follow the official path to chase and kill them. Perhaps even Hou Jingrui might not be able to escape.

The border emergency report had been sent to the palace three days ago, the emperor's imperial approval had been passed down yesterday, and the corresponding transfer of the Cefu Division and the Ministry of War was already in progress.Today's court meeting, to put it bluntly, is just to announce the news and read the resolution to the ministers by the way.Some insiders were able to force their composure, while other officials were immediately at a loss when they heard about it.

Zizhou knew about it in advance.When the eldest brother returned from Zhendinghou's mansion, he got inside information from the grand master.However, the fall of Fenglan Pass was shocking and terrifying, but the reason why the grand master revealed the news to his eldest brother was even more disturbing.

The elder brother's trip to the Hou's mansion, the three brothers and sisters wishful thinking, is just a simple verification process before admitting relatives.Unexpectedly, when the imperial court was trapped on both sides, and Fenglan Pass was accidentally lost, the Taishi thought that in this time of national crisis and life and death, the most rare thing is a loyal minister and filial son.Wang Yuanzhi, the prefect of Tongcheng, Lin Fan, the guard, and Li Yancheng, the former university scholar who retired to his hometown, led the soldiers and civilians in the city to fight bloody battles.However, after Li Yancheng risked his life in the past to preserve Zhongliang, it can be described as a heroic act.His son Li Mian inherited his father's behest, supported his younger siblings and fled thousands of miles to seek refuge in the imperial court; he raised his adopted younger brother to be talented and serve the country, which can be called great loyalty and great filial piety...

——In a word, such a touching and moving act of Jiade should be a shining example for the sun and the moon, and set an example for the world, so that the people of the country can take this as an example to know glory and courage...

Zizhou couldn't help imitating his elder brother and smiled wryly.Compared with the distant Fenglan Pass, the glory that is close at hand is even more frightening.Thinking of his elder brother's resignation to his fate and pretending to be relaxed, he regretted it more than ten thousand times.

——If you don’t come to Xijing, if you don’t take the imperial examination, if you don’t win the first prize, if...

Ignorance makes you fearless.Now, he has experienced and understood more and more things, and gradually understands that hesitation and avoidance are not necessarily cowardice, and how much desolation will be brewing behind the prosperity.In the past, I always felt that I was just up and down in this official world, even if the future was boundless and dark, full of thorns and ups and downs, there was nothing to be afraid of.It was only when the elder brother and younger sister were involved that they realized that human affairs are not a few threads, but a net, and the harder the struggle, the tighter the entanglement.

However, nothing in the world can start from scratch.Personal choices are intertwined with the design of fate, and the direction has been determined before the parties are aware of it. ——In this way, the elder brother was involved in the cusp of the storm.

Although the eldest brother comforted himself repeatedly in the past two days, he also understood in his heart that there were too many unpredictable and unstoppable things at this point.However, regrets about the past and worries about the future weighed heavily on my heart. Day by day, I couldn't eat comfortably, and couldn't sleep well.

Compared with Zi Zhou's worry, Zi Shi and Zi Gui are much calmer.So on the surface, those two seemed a little careless, while the one who was worried was getting younger and more mature, steady and serious, just like the head of the family.

At this moment, Zi Zhou listened to the grand master's presentation to the emperor on the countermeasures, such as adding troops to Xiabei Pass, Hou Jingrui's demotion to use on the spot, etc., he quickly calmed down and listened attentively—these were all things he was very concerned about.At the same time cheer up, once the grand master mentions his life experience, he can deal with it at any time.

Unexpectedly, the grand master hadn't come to an end yet, a person suddenly stepped out, saluted the emperor, and interjected loudly: "Your Majesty, I have a message, please read it."

Zi Zhou recognized the speaker as Xi Yuanhuai, the Chief Speech Officer of Yushitai and the right admonishment doctor standing behind the left prime minister.Ever since the right chancellor Meng Boru died of a sudden heart attack, and the good old man Tang Shihe came to power, the courtiers who did not want to join the party of foreign relatives kept their mouths shut and kept their mouths shut. Few of them dared to speak like this in court.

This Mr. Xi and himself seem to be from the same hometown, but firstly, there is no chance to make friends, secondly, the officials of Yushitai have always regarded themselves as clean, and they are most taboo to take their skirts away from the back door, and they have no intention of forming cliques. It is necessary to catch up and make friends, so it is just "knowledge".In recent years, Yushitai has gradually declined, and most of them are hypocrites who only care about themselves and even have duplicity. I heard that only Mr. Xi Yuanhuai speaks uprightly and speaks uprightly, which is quite a legacy of the past. Back to see.

Zhao Ju frowned secretly, and said patiently: "Xi Aiqing has something to say, please."

"Your Majesty! Hou Jingrui, the general guarding Fenglan Pass, was negligent in his investigation, greedy for meritorious deeds, and lost his shield. This is an unforgivable crime. However, it is not a day's cold to freeze three feet, and now the disaster of Fenglan Pass has been accumulated in the army for a long time. This is due to the disadvantages. I think that Hou Jingrui should be escorted to the capital, and the insides should be clearly investigated, and the reasons should be carefully examined, so that the commanders can urge the defenders everywhere to take precautions..."

Hearing that Xi Yuanhuai turned his attention to the military and the highest command from point to point, Ning Shuyuan gave a wink, and Zhang Xianbo, the deputy secretary, stood up and snorted coldly: "Your Majesty, forgive me. I dare to ask Xi My lord, drinking tea and chatting in the yamen of Yushitai every day, how do you know "the long-accumulated evils in the army"?"

"I heard..."

"Is the word "heard" enough to be used as evidence? The soldiers at the front use their flesh and blood as a barrier to protect the country and the people. How can it not be chilling to be accused of such unreasonable crimes? Sir Xi, open your mouth to discuss right and wrong. There is evidence for it. Although Yu Shitai has heard rumors and rumors, it is too much to accuse him of crimes based on guesses and conjectures, isn't it?..."

Zizhou thought: This Mr. Zhang is such a good Cifeng.Avoid the truth and act falsely, and fight against the generals. I don't know how Mr. Xi will deal with it.

I saw Xi Yuanhuai stepping forward, knelt down in front of the throne, and made an impassioned statement: "Your Majesty! Xi Yuanhuai invited himself to go to Xiabei Pass to work in the army, and thoroughly investigated the passage before and after the fall of Fenglan Pass. According to Master Zhang, black and white are loyal and traitorous. Seeing is believing, there is evidence to prove it. Life and death should be ignored..."

Zhao Ju rested his forehead and sighed.It's like this every time, there's endless quarreling about something, and in the end I have to force myself to decide what's right and what's wrong, which is very annoying.Almost groaning: "Xi Aiqing, you get up first and speak slowly..."

At this time Ning Shuyuan spoke: "Master Xi. Your Excellency is the mainstay of the court. How can your majesty leave the center suddenly and take risks lightly?"

Zhao Ju nodded: "That's right."

Ning Shuyuan continued: "Hou Jingrui was demoted to use on the spot, not because the Secretary and the Ministry of War deliberately shielded him, but because Liang Yonghui, the gatekeeper of Xiabei Gate, asked for it. Knowing yourself and the enemy, you will win every battle. If you know his deep and shallow tricks, you can be an adviser. When you are employing people, allowing him to commit crimes and perform meritorious deeds is also His Majesty's sage and benevolence..."

Xi Yuanhuai stopped talking, Xie En withdrew.

Zi Zhou took a peek at Uncle Guo, who was sitting under the emperor, and thought, "So this one is the most powerful." He just happened to look at him, and hurriedly lowered his eyes.

Ning Shuyuan cupped his hands towards the emperor, and changed the subject: "Your Majesty, I have something else to report."

"Uncle, please tell me." Zhao Ju straightened up while speaking.

How to discover the story of the descendants of the mighty general Xie Sheng, the emperor had heard the grand master tell in detail before.The story itself was full of twists and turns, and the drama was extremely strong. It was much more exciting than ordinary dramas. It made him clasp his ears and sigh repeatedly.At this moment, I couldn't help but take a look at Si Wenlang who was standing below. He looked very handsome, and he was indeed somewhat similar to that Xie Sheng. No wonder Mrs. Ning could guess it.The mighty general in my impression is much older than the current Si Wenlang, and it's normal to not be able to see it without knowing the details...

It turned out that the Nings and their sons, in order to avoid any extraneous incidents, only said that Mrs. Ning saw Zhou Zhongqiu saving people at night, so they got to the bottom of it, and finally the truth came out.Besides, even though it was said to be loyal and good, it was reasonable and illegal at the time and place, and it was a serious crime of deceiving the emperor.Ning Shuyuan changed a little bit, and replaced the person who was in Tuogu with the late General Xie's wife Han Fang.The merits and sins belong to the dead.In the hall at this moment, he talked about how Li Yancheng went to Beijing to bid farewell 16 years ago, how he brought the orphan of the Xie family back to Tongcheng to be raised, how he fought against the enemy with his whole family, and died in the city, all the way to how the three brothers and sisters of the Li family fled to Shu.Even though he only narrated the outline, all the people in the palace still sighed after hearing it.The old minister who missed the old love was already in tears.

Qingyuan Hou Han Xian came out tremblingly, and fell to his knees: "Your Majesty! What the grand master said...is it true? That...unworthy girl of my humble minister, really...is there still flesh and blood left in this world?" Can't help but burst into tears.

Zhao Ju motioned to the two servants to help him up, and said, "Han Aiqing, don't worry, just listen to what the grand master has to say."

Ning Shuyuan continued to talk, slowly talking about how the Xie family boy became a pillar of the imperial court under the upbringing of Li's righteous brother.Zhao Ju saw that everyone was involved in the play, so he asked knowingly with his accent: "What does uncle mean, could it be that this child is in the hall?"

"Your Majesty, this child is indeed in the hall."

"Oh? I don't know—which love minister is it?"

The emperor and grand master's pretentiousness is really speechless.Zizhou felt sad and ridiculous, but tears rolled down his face, which became the most faithful expression.He stepped into the ranks, took a deep breath, corrected his posture, and bowed three times and bowed nine times to the emperor: "Xie Quan, the son of the guilty minister Xie Sheng, sees my emperor, long live, long live, long live!"

"Ah!" The ministers exclaimed in unison.

Not bad, it works great.Zhao Ju watched with satisfaction, and when everyone quieted down, he replied with a dignified "flat body", and said kindly: "Xie Aiqing, go and meet your grandfather."

Zizhou stabilized his mood, knelt sideways, and saluted Qingyuanhou: "Grandson pays respects to grandfather."

Han Xian approached tremblingly, pulled him up while wiping his tears, and looked up and down.Suddenly dragged him to kneel down towards the emperor again, and kowtowed: "The emperor's grace is mighty! The emperor's grace is mighty——"

Zhao Ju nodded: "Okay, let's all get up." Turning to Ning Shuyuan, "Isn't there still Li Yancheng's son? Where is it? Let me take a look."

"Reporting to Your Majesty, you are waiting outside the hall."

"Xuan!"

It is said that the servants yelled one after another, and their resounding voices resounded from inside the hall to outside the hall: "Xuantong city scholar Li Fang has an audience—"
