The rise of the president in the harem
Chapter 43 Jinjiang Literature City Chong Duck
"Yes," Zhang Shuren said with emotion when he mentioned Froststone, and even immediately bowed to the emperor who found Froststone. Tell me, how can Da Zhou get this treasure."
"Since it's a fairy's advice, it must have been arranged by the heavens. Gao Yue is not talented, but he remembers that there is a book that says that silica mixed with saltpeter can make a powerful medicine. This statement has never been understood. Thinking about it today, it may have something to do with Mr. Zhang's research. , As for where to find it, I see that Mr. Zhang has been working hard and has not achieved any results, why don't you revisit it for the same reason, firstly to change your thinking, and secondly, there may be new discoveries, maybe."
After Gao Yue finished speaking with a smile, the emperor who was sitting next to him suddenly coughed for some reason.
Zhou Feiqi coughed not only Gao Yue, but even Zhang Shuren looked over in wonder——
Then the emperor said seriously: "Zhang Aiqing has a lot of affairs, and you need to take charge of the overall situation here in Cuiying. You don't want to go to the old place again. You can handle the matter of the dark moon, and you come with me." He said, stood up, and also Finally let go of Gao Yue's hand.
Gao Yue watched Zhou Feiqi lead An Yue to the back of the palace, knowing that they had some secrets to tell, and Zhou Feiqi's test of herself might have come to an end here.Gao Yue breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time thought that Zhou Feiqi didn't need to bring himself to the arsenal at all. He could have called Zhang Shuren to the palace. Proficient in the art of gunpowder, it is naturally more convenient to use it on the spot in the arsenal; secondly, if Gao Yue is not a top-notch talent, Zhou Feiqi brought him here to show kindness.This kindness is the emperor's trust. After all, I have brought you to such a secret place. If you don't make good use of it for me, wouldn't it be a toast instead of fine wine?Then the fate can be imagined.
Therefore, Gao Yue knew that next, it was time for the emperor to read his feedback, and it was also the best time for him to show his loyalty—Gao Yue was thinking about the next thing he should tell the emperor about the ammonium nitrate, of course he couldn't say it directly , but in what form to tell him, Gao Yue needs to bother to design it.
At the back of the hall, Zhou Feiqi told An Yue: "Go to the Tianchi area of Gangang Mountain, find a white stone and bring it back, and leave today without any need to say anything."
"Subordinates obey."
"Since the beginning of summer, what happened to the Imperial Tomb?" Zhou Feiqi asked again.
An Yue said: "There is nothing unusual in the reports from the subordinates every day, but yesterday a flock of colorful birds was surprised at the imperial mausoleum, and they lingered for an hour before leaving."
"Oh?" Zhou Feiqi turned his eyes, then snorted softly, and said: "The birds won't linger for no reason, so we will send twice as many people to keep an eye on him at [-] o'clock, and report any abnormalities immediately."
"Yes." An Yue took the order but did not back down, as if he hesitated to speak.
Zhou Feiqi raised his eyebrows slightly, "Is there anything else?"
An Yue broke her heart, and suddenly knelt down and remonstrated: "Your Majesty, Bingcheng is an important place for the military, and Gao Shijun is a member of the harem. It is not appropriate for him to come here."
"Understood, you go down."
Zhou Feiqi raised his hand expressionlessly.An Yue saw that the emperor didn't care about this at all, she gritted her teeth and didn't dare to remonstrate, but in the end she was unwilling to do so, turned around and left with her lips and brows pursed.The emperor looked at his back, squinted his eyes, and finally let out a faint sigh.
Gao Yue and Zhang Shuren chatted a few more words while waiting for the emperor, and he said implicitly: "I have heard that there is a kind of white soil that can increase the power of gunpowder, but I don't know if it is that kind of silica soil. Did you say that? '
"White soil?" Zhang Shuren thought for a while, and said, "I've never heard of it. I don't know which book Shijun read it from, can you tell me the name?"
Gao Yue smiled and said: "I have to go back and confirm again. If there is a result, I will definitely tell the adults."
"That's a good feeling."
The two were talking, seeing An Yue come out from the back hall first, but his face was not very good, Zhang Shuren had been in contact with him for a long time, so it was inevitable that he should be concerned, but this time An Yue didn't say a word, and walked out directly , that stubbornness looks like a stubborn donkey.
Zhang Shuren smiled at Gao Yue a little embarrassingly, and said: "He has that temper, if he is rude, the servant should not blame him."
"It doesn't matter as long as you do your best for His Majesty, be loyal to Da Zhou and His Majesty, and don't be too rigid about details." Gao Yue comforted Zhang Shuren with a smile.He just habitually talked about the clichés that he used to comfort his subordinates before crossing, but when he heard it in Zhang Shuren's ears, he felt that this high servant was quite generous, and he was not a concubine in the harem who only wanted to compete for favor.
Soon, Zhang Shuren felt relieved when he thought of Gao Yue's background.After all, the filial and compassionate emperor of the previous dynasty came from the same family as Gao Yue. It seems that the Gao family in the south of the Yangtze River also took great pains to cultivate a harem brother.
Zhou Feiqi took Gao Yue to the arsenal for a stroll, and when the two returned, the atmosphere was completely different from when they came.
Gao Yue was silent all the way, but when he got into the carriage, he would take the initiative to lean into the emperor's arms. Although he didn't say a word, this move alone was enough for Zhou Feiqi to think about it.When Zhou Feiqi was thinking about it, he subconsciously wrapped his hands around Gao Yue and played with his fingers again, still in the 'short back and long' movement. Gao Yue directly closed his eyes this time, feeling that if he didn't look at the people behind him, he would This feeling is really like Chen Qian hugging himself.
When they returned to the palace, they both had lunch.And there was a group of people waiting outside the main hall of Jiyang Palace, including Concubine Shu who came to return to her life, Xiao Jiazi, a little eunuch who came from the Imperial Study Room to report, and someone from Yongshou Palace who called Gao Yue to come over for dinner Palace lady Polygonatum.
A group of people did not know how long they had been waiting in the Jiyang Hall. Anyway, no matter what they said, Eunuch Zhang, who had received the emperor's command, stood motionless in front of the hall, like a gatekeeper who could not be attacked for a long time, no matter how much their saliva splashed, just one sentence Words' the emperor said, no one can bother! '
Yu Zhu sighed and said, "But Master Gao has to eat too? His body... oh, how can he bear it!" After finishing speaking, he remembered that Concubine Shu was also at the side, and quickly shut up.
Concubine Shu still had that decent and elegant smile on her face, as if she didn't hear Yu Zhu's words at all.It's just that seeing the rest of the people looking at him after listening to Yuzhu's words, the already straight back just stood up straighter.
Everyone has been waiting here for less than half an hour, but they didn't hear any untimely movement from the hall. Presumably, His Majesty is just taking a nap.After all, their majesty is Zhou Feiqi, don't say that it's impossible during the day, even at night, he hasn't had such a thing in the past few years!
Facts have proved that sometimes, nothing should be taken for granted, there are exceptions in everything, and face-slapping is so fast, such as now——
Suddenly, there was a sound like applause in the hall that had been silent for a long time. It must be the rhythm... It's a bit hard to describe - followed by Gao Shijun's low growl with hidden anger: "What are you doing?! It hurts!"
Crowd: ...
In the hall, Zhou Feiqi circled Gao Yue from behind, grabbed his wrist with one hand, and clapped his hands vigorously!He used a little too much strength, and Gao Yue's palm was quickly shot red.Zhou Feiqi made another surprise attack this time, Gao Yue was not prepared at all, and his palms really hurt, after blurting out this sentence, he remembered his determination just now, and immediately gritted his teeth and held back.However, forbearance is forbearance, but the emperor who caused the crime was so painful that his eyes were full of tears.
The emperor was stared at, and instead of getting angry, he let go of Gao Yue.It's just that he held Gao Yue's fingertips, pulled Gao Yue's palms to his lips, and gently blew on him.
What are you doing?What are you doing? !
Gao Yue rolled her eyes countless times in her heart, would you give me a sweet date after hitting a stick?childish!
But Zhou Feiqi said: "Does it hurt? Yue'er has been wronged. There are too many people outside, so the show still needs to be sung. Your expression is really nice." Then, he raised his thumb and wiped the corners of Gao Yue's eyes.
Gao Yue: Damn, what does it mean to have a good expression? !Are you happy to see me cry in pain? !Also, the purpose of your acting is to make everyone misunderstand that I already had an affair with you? ! !
Although he thought so in his heart, he finally recognized the reality.
So, he lowered his eyelids, his eyelashes fluttered slightly, and said in a low voice, "I don't feel wronged if I can share your worries for His Majesty, that is," he suddenly raised his voice, "Your Majesty, please be gentle next time, because I really hurt!" His face turned red, but he tried his best to tense up, turned his head to the side, and stopped looking at Zhou Feiqi.
Seeing him like this, Zhou Feiqi smiled, and stared intently at Gao Yue's gradually flushed side face and already flushed auricles - at this moment, a picture appeared in his mind -
On a night in early autumn, on a vibrant campus, he said to the man, "I want to ask you to do me a favor..."
That night, he took the man to a street lamp by the side of the playground.
The lights were almost turned off, and there were few people. A pair of people stood under the halo of the street lamp, and a series of footsteps came from the darkness outside the halo.The footsteps originally carried the joy of a successful invitation, but they stopped when they approached the street lights——
Under the street lamp, the slightly taller boy held the shorter boy's cheek with both hands, and kissed the man's forehead.The surroundings were pitch black, but the place where the two stood was soft and bright.
He kissed his forehead and didn't move away for a long time.
The footsteps in the darkness left quietly, and the two people under the streetlight only had each other in their eyes.
The person who was kissed was blushing, but tense as much as possible, and turned his head to the side.His eyelashes fluttered slightly, and the end of his eyes, earlobes, and bases of his ears turned from pink to red, and soon even the pinnae of his ears turned red.
The relatives stared intently at the person's gradually flushed side face and ear pinnae, their lips squirmed, a little nervous, as if they wanted to say something.
However, before he could speak, the person who was kissed before suddenly turned around, hooked his neck, and put his lips together - the moment their lips met, the two of them were shocked, and then there was light tenderness Loving, fascinated eyes, out of control.
It was the first kiss of two people. They were as young as two little beasts that just learned to hunt. They stumbled along the way and even learned how to breathe. Later, the man's whole face turned red and purple, and he couldn't hold it anymore. Pushed After hugging him, she hugged his neck tightly and buried her face on his shoulders, and didn't look up after a long time.
At that time, he was kissing his ears lightly, and at the same time, he stretched his fingers and inserted them into his hair along his neck, stroking the back of his head against the root of his hair.The man's hair was soft and smooth, just like his temper, like a cup of hot milk that irons people's hearts, and he was reluctant to put it down as soon as he swallowed it.
The mood of the night is fading, the affection is overflowing, it will be overflowing, and when the love is beginning to be at a loss, I hear the man's muffled voice coming from the shoulder, saying, "I will be responsible for you, I like you".
At that moment, he only felt that in terms of being brave for love, he was several times better than himself!
……
Zhou Feiqi couldn't count how long ago that memory was, and looking back now, it really seems like a lifetime away.He thought that being lucky enough to meet and fall in love with the right person in life would be happiness. Even if they never meet again in the end, that beauty will still remain in his heart and will not be erased or forgotten. Impossible to be replaced!
Zhou Feiqi looked at Gao Yue in front of him, he thought, in Dazhou, this person is also a gift from heaven to him.Although he doesn't love himself, seeing him every day is a great comfort to him.He warned himself, don't ask for more extravagance, greed is often the beginning of falling into the abyss.
But he thought again, if one day, the person in front of him fell in love with him, what would he do?
The answer to this question cannot be given right now. Zhou Feiqi even feels that this idea is completely dangerous for him and Gao Yue now, because this idea is very tempting, but extremely cruel. it's the same.
So, Zhou Feiqi took a deep breath, suppressed this dangerous expectation, raised his hand and rubbed the top of Gao Yue's hair, and said, "Okay, let's go out with me."
Gao Yue let out an 'hmm', turned her head, saw a glimmer of sadness in the emperor's eyes, and was slightly stunned.
Outside the Jiyang Hall, Eunuch Zhang fulfilled his duties and resolutely guarded the door, and resolutely carried out His Majesty's commandment of "don't let anyone disturb him". Finally, after persisting for several hours, he heard a call from the hall: "Come on."
Eunuch Zhang quickly responded, opened the door and went in.The people who had been waiting outside the hall for a long time cheered up immediately after hearing the words, and after a short while, Eunuch Zhang came out with a smile on his face, and said to Concubine Shu: "Your Majesty summons your concubine to come in, please."
Concubine Shu led the maids across the threshold, Eunuch Zhang hurriedly said to Yuzhu again: "Your Majesty, let the Queen Mother take a message, just send lunch to Jiyang Palace, and later he will take Gao Shijun to pay the Queen Mother personally."
Yuzhu got the oral order and hurried back to Yongshou Palace to return to her life.The door of the main hall was closed again, and everyone outside the door continued to look forward to it.
In Jiyang Hall, the emperor sat on the throne, and Gao Yue stood on one side. Concubine Shugui saluted the emperor and received Gao Yue's visit before she spoke, saying: "The concubine has thoroughly checked Qingshu Hall and found no abnormalities. However, during the counting of the personnel, it was found that the personal eunuch who served Uncle Qing was missing one person. According to other people in the palace, the little eunuch had disappeared since the day of the accident. He said that he came to the Jiyang Palace to invite His Majesty, and then he did not go back. .”
Hearing this, Gao Yue already knew who the missing person was, the little eunuch named 'Xiaobenzi'.That day when he came to the Jiyang Palace to make trouble, Liang Xiao accompanied him to walk around the palace on the bell and drum towers. Servant, did not expect to disappear?I'm afraid it's not that simple, is it?
The emperor pondered for a while, and asked Concubine Shu: "Is there a register for the entry and exit of the palace?"
Concubine Shu shook her head and said: "The concubine has sent people to inquire, and the four palace gates and eight partial gates have not been found."
"Check again." After Zhou Feiqi finished speaking, she looked at Concubine Shu and saw that she slowly bowed to him but did not leave, so she asked, "What else is there for Concubine Ai?"
Concubine Shu looked at Gao Yue and smiled slightly.
Gao Yue also smiled back at her, turned to salute the emperor, and said: "Your Majesty, I was ordered by the Queen Mother to conduct a thorough investigation of the harem today, and I should go and see the results, so I will retire first."
"En," Zhou Feiqi hummed, but said, "Go to the side hall and wait until I have lunch with me."
Gao Yue thought to herself, how much Zhou Feiqi doesn't want to be alone with Concubine Shu this week?Everyone acted so clearly that they wanted to be alone with him, yet he even wanted to put another light bulb in the side hall. This is really... blinding such a beautiful beauty for nothing!
Gao Yue wanted to laugh a little, but in the end she held it back, obeyed the emperor's order, and left the main hall.When he went out, he heard the emperor say to Concubine Shu behind him, "Just say what you have to say."
Concubine Shu looked back at Gao Yue's back, and when she turned her head, the usual indifferent smile on her face was mixed with a trace of tenderness, which is a kind of coquettishness unique to women. At this moment, there are rippling water waves in her eyes looking at the emperor, pretty Said: "Oh, actually, the concubine just wanted to invite His Majesty to have dinner at the Yonghe Palace tomorrow. I don't know what your Majesty would like?" After speaking, she seemed extremely embarrassed, and raised her hand to stroke the hair beside her ear.
Zhou Feiqi said: "Tomorrow if I have time, I will go to the Concubine's Palace to sit. Is there anything else?"
Concubine Shu's face darkened slightly when she heard this, because the answer was the same as usual, but the emperor never had time for every 'tomorrow'.She shook her head with a wry smile, bowed again, and said: "The concubine will wait for His Majesty's arrival at Yonghe Palace tomorrow."
"Hmm." Zhou Feiqi's voice seemed very careless, the imperial concubine Zhi Shu saluted and exited the hall without even looking at her again, it can be said that she showed the true qualities of a ruthless emperor.
After Concubine Shu went out, the little eunuch who came to report from the imperial study was brought in by Eunuch Zhang, who said that the urgent report was sent from Gucheng, and the booklet had been handed over to the imperial study.
Zhou Feiqi said: "Send it to Jiyang Hall."
The little eunuch retreated in a hurry.Only then did Eunuch Zhang walk in with Xiao Jiazi, so far there was no one else outside the Jiyang Hall to face the saint.
Xiao Jiazi entered the hall, and immediately knelt down with a thud. Eunuch Zhang hurriedly turned around and closed the door of the hall. He also stepped forward and knelt down in front of Zhou Feiqi.Xiao Jiazi had thrown himself to the ground, crying bitterly, crying and saying: "This slave is ashamed of the emperor's grace, this slave has shamed His Majesty!"
Zhou Feiqi yelled until a blue vein bulged out of his forehead, and said angrily: "Stop howling, talk if you have something to say! What does crying look like?!"
Xiao Jiazi quickly sniffed his nose and wiped his face, straightened his upper body and replied, "Your Majesty, this slave is too stupid. I have been in charge of Jihe Hall for two days, but I didn't control those people under me and let them steal the ice from Xianfu Palace. This is a slave. Negligence is also dereliction of duty. No matter how you punish the servant, the servant will never complain, but even if the servant dies, he will never dare to hide anything from you. The servant has checked, and it is because the two little eunuchs in the palace were manipulated by the former steward Xiao Manzi My family, together with Dong Ya, the maid of the Xianfu Palace, had an affair in private. I don’t know what Xiao Manzi wanted the ice for, but every time the ice that was not dropped, it was said that it turned into water on the same day, and some of the water was said to be sent to Qing Dynasty. Some of the uncle's hall were mixed with the bad water of the day and transported out of the palace. The slave didn't know the seriousness of this matter, and he didn't dare to make a claim, so he hurriedly came to His Majesty, begging His Majesty to leave the slave's whole body!"
After Xiao Jiazi finished speaking, Eunuch Zhang also hurriedly said: "This old slave is unclear about who to recommend, and I am willing to accept punishment."
After they finished speaking, there was a moment of silence in the hall, and after a long while, Zhou Feiqi said, "How can you be sure that some of the ice has been sent to Uncle Qing Hall?"
"Here," Xiao Jiazi choked, swallowing nervously, and said, "It's the servant who interrogated those two greedy little eunuchs, and the servant at Qingshu Palace didn't verify..." This is true, but If you say it without verification, you are also suspected of chaotic climbing and biting.
However, the emperor spoke again, "Gao Shijun has been thoroughly investigating the harem recently. You should ask him to explain the situation to him later, and let him investigate. You should help me well. If you are not doing well in this matter, you will be fined for one year. Eunuch Zhang recommended People who don't clear their salary will be fined for three months."
Xiao Jiazi hurriedly kowtowed, looking at his posture as if he had finally sent out a hot potato, feeling relieved.
"Okay, let's go back if there is nothing else to do. I'm tired." Zhou Feiqi raised his hands, Xiao Jiazi and Eunuch Zhang hurriedly bowed and retreated, and then the emperor said again: "Eunuch Zhang, you go to the side hall and ask Gao Shijun to come see you I."
Eunuch Zhang hurriedly responded, and took Xiao Jiazi to the side hall first.Seeing Gao Yue, Xiao Jiazi finished talking about the robbing of the ice in Jihe Palace, seeing that Gao Yue was also like the emperor, and kept silent for a while, only then did he realize that things might be much worse than he expected.No one dared to make mistakes in front of the emperor, but Gao Shijun has always treated people calmly, and his temper was notoriously good. Little Jiazi was brave enough to ask, "Your servant, what is wrong with you?"
Unexpectedly, Gao Yue's answer was exactly the same as that of the emperor. He asked, "How did you make sure that some of the stolen ice was sent to Qingshu Hall?"
"Here," Xiao Jiazi and Eunuch Zhang looked at each other, and hurriedly said, "The slave has interrogated the little eunuch in the Jihe Hall, that's what they said. As for the Qingshu Hall, the slave has not verified it yet."
"Does Your Majesty know about this?" Gao Yue asked.
"Your Majesty said that you have been conducting a thorough investigation of the harem recently, and I will ask my servant to assist you in investigating this matter." Xiao Jiazi's voice became quieter as he saw Gao Yue's face showing a smile that was not a smile. It doesn't look friendly at all, but a little scary!
Eunuch Zhang bite the bullet and said: "Servant, Your Majesty invites you to go over."
"understood."
Gao Yue stood up, and there was a burst of talking outside. It turned out that Yuzhu brought someone to deliver lunch to Gao Yue.Eunuch Zhang heard the sound of "like being amnesty" and hurried out to Zhang Luo. He didn't know what was wrong with him, but he felt that Gao Shijun looked like he was going to hit someone at this moment, and even the air pressure in the whole side hall was brought by him like the eve of a storm It was so hot and stuffy.
In the main hall, when lunch was served, Gao Yue sat at the emperor's head, but he couldn't eat. The dishes were obviously delicious, and the rice was also selected fragrant rice, but Gao Yue only took two mouthfuls before putting down his chopsticks.
The ancients paid attention to eating without talking and sleeping without talking.The emperor didn't know whether he strictly abided by this on purpose, or he could see that Gao Yue was not happy. In short, he saw Gao Yue put down his chopsticks and didn't ask any more questions. He didn't ask Gao Yue until he finished eating, and then said to Gao Yue: "The matter of Jihe Palace, you What do you think?"
"Your Majesty is very embarrassed." Gao Yue said bluntly, "Your Majesty also heard what Concubine Shu said just now. She has thoroughly searched Qingshu Hall and found nothing. Now I will check again. If I find out something, I'm afraid Not so good?"
"Haha," the emperor laughed out loud when he heard the words, and said, "Yue'er just let go and do it, don't forget, there is Zhen behind you!" After speaking, he raised his hand and pressed Gao Yue's shoulder, firmly It wasn't heavy, but Gao Yue felt as if he had been given a reassurance, and a surge of energy surged in his heart inexplicably.
Immediately, Gao Yue thought about it, and it seemed that he often used this trick when encouraging his subordinates before.Once, when Chen Qian was in his office, he was dissatisfied when he saw him pressing his subordinate's shoulders. Afterwards, he asked Gao Yue what he said. Oh, he said to Chen Qian, "I didn't take the opportunity to eat XX's tofu, I just To let him know the burden on his shoulders and my confidence in him'.
Feng Shui took turns, today Gao Yue finally experienced the feelings of those subordinates back then, well, since the emperor said so, then he should look it up 'seek truth from facts' again.It's just that it's better to keep a low profile—Concubine Shu, Gao Yue thinks it's better not to offend as long as she can.
After lunch was dismissed, Eunuch Hu begged to see him outside the door holding a memorial. Zhou Feiqi announced him in, took the notebook from his hand, saw that it was the urgent report from the prefect of Gucheng, and asked, "Who is the urgent report?" delivered?"
Hu Gonggong said: "Liu Qingfeng, the head arrester in Gucheng, personally sent it to the palace."
"What about others?" Zhou Feiqi asked.
"Waiting outside the palace. Also, Your Majesty, Liang's guards are back."
"Well, let Liu Qingfeng come in first." Zhou Feiqi flipped through the memorial and said while reading.
Seeing this, Gao Yue got up and wanted to leave, but Zhou Feiqi pressed the back of his hand and said, "You can listen to it too."
Gao Yue had no choice but to sit down again.
Liu Qingfeng seems to have rushed all the way here, and he is still exhausted all over his body, his eyes are black and blue, it seems that he has not been able to sleep well these days on the road.After he entered the palace, he saw a handsome young man sitting beside the emperor. He was stunned for a moment, and then he recognized that the man was Gao Yue, and a kind smile appeared in his eyes. It can be seen that when Liang Xiao said that when he was a child, Liu Qingfeng loved him the most. It is not a lie to chase after Gao Yue's ass and call him brother.
Gao Yue had already seen Liu Qingfeng in Gucheng that day, but he was wearing a veil at that time, so Liu Qingfeng didn't recognize him.At this time, seeing the other party smiling, he smiled back with kindness, but Liu Qingfeng quickly suppressed his smile and knelt down to worship.Gao Yue turned her head and looked, Zhou Feiqi's complexion sank at some point. For a moment, she felt that the emperor's heart was really like a needle in the bottom of the sea. Guess what you want, but you will never know it anyway.
Liu Qingfeng paid homage to the emperor and then to Gao Yue, his etiquette was impeccable, and this alone shows that his personality is actually very calm.
The emperor had finished reading the brochure at this time, and he put the brochure by his hand. He was tapping on the back of the chair with his fingers at this moment, and said: "I read the brochure that Han Qinzhang showed me. Since the Gu worms have polluted most of the girls, how can Gucheng go this year?" There is no need to send the election. As for the Eastern countries, I have my own arrangements. You go back and tell Han Qinzhang so that he does not have to worry. However, Gu insects are a serious problem, and must be cleaned up within a month. If he has difficulties, he can report to the court. Just send officials to help him."
It sounds good to send officials to help, but it is not.
Liu Qingfeng is clearly aware of the stakes in this, so he quickly said: "Master Han is grateful for the grace, and will definitely do his best to eliminate this trouble for the court."
"That's good." After a slight pause, Zhou Feiqi asked again: "How is the investigation of the Bai family going?"
"The subordinates have been investigating this matter recently. It has been found that the Bai family moved from Yucheng to Jinzhou in the 25th year of Chengzhao, lived in Baigu County and Jicheng for two years, and was settled in the first year of Jiayi. The city was originally from the south of the Yangtze River. When the Bai family lived in Yucheng, they used to live on human teeth. Later, they offended a large local family and had to move north. After entering Jinzhou, they first did business in cloth, mules and horses, and later opened Inns and restaurants are gradually becoming a family business. After the accident at the Baijia Inn in Gucheng, all the Baijia Inns in Jinzhou have been emptied, and I suspect that they may have all fled to the sea."
"Investigate again. Be sure to uproot this Bai family." Zhou Feiqi knocked on the handrail, and said again: "Later, you come to the imperial study room, and I will give you a handbook. You give it to General Zhendong, and he will dispatch the navy. cooperate with you."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace!" Liu Qingfeng knelt down again, still courteous, without showing the slightest complacency on his face.
Gao Yue watched from the side, and nodded secretly, Liu Qingfeng's calm demeanor was enough to take on the big responsibility, and the Liu family sent him out to practice, and it shouldn't be long before he was transferred back to the capital.
After Liu Qingfeng withdrew, the emperor did not rush to summon Liang Xiao, but stopped Hu Gonggong, who was about to go out, and said, "Is there any progress in the matter of Jihe Palace that I asked you to ask yesterday?"
Eunuch Hu has actually received the news, knowing that just now Eunuch Zhang has brought Xiao Jiazi to Jiyang Palace to report once, and both of them have been fined.But right now, the emperor asked himself again, and he knew this intention well after being with him for many years, so he said: "The slave has checked, and the two eunuchs in Ji and Dian are useless, one is Xiaodouziyuan She was served by Wang Meiren's side, but he hated the poor and loved the rich, so he climbed up to Jihe Hall and kicked the original master. Ling, a man named Xiao Lanzi, entered the palace with Xiao Manzi in the same batch. The two originally did not deal with each other, but Xiao Manzi Later, when he took charge of Jihe Palace, this little basket was subdued. The two of their families left the capital a year ago and did not come back. As for whether they were kidnapped or had an accident, the slaves are still investigating. In addition, Xianfu Palace has A palace lady named Dongya was originally a rough worker in the Clothes Bureau, but was later transferred to Xianfu Palace, and now she is locked up by Concubine Han. It is said that she was caught with a board yesterday and she is still in a coma. This girl's His native place is Gucheng."
"All three of them will be sent to prison first, don't let that maid die." Zhou Feiqi said.
Eunuch Hu responded, and said again: "Your Majesty, Guard Liang is still waiting outside, do you want to—"
"Well, let him in."
When Liang Xiao came in, he saw Gao Yue was there, and just like Liu Qingfeng, a smile appeared in his eyes unconsciously.This time Zhou Feiqi didn't change his face, but frowned slightly, Liang Xiao quickly bowed his head when he saw this.Today he mainly came back and forth to report on the affairs of Daliang Town, so he said, "The case of fake immortals in Daliang Town has been settled today. A total of 13 hunters who pretended to be immortals were arrested and 120 people in Daliang Town were rescued. The official also learned from the common people that since the beginning of the year, the matter of immortals giving children has become popular in the border between the two prefectures of Baxian Mountain. Over the past six months, there are about twenty villages and counties that have invited fake immortals. The people of Zimomo have not been clearly counted yet, and it is conservatively estimated that there are no fewer than [-] people. The officials thought that this matter was important, so they asked the two Taoist priests and two teams of guards from Chiyun Temple to go to the countryside separately to test and pull out the Gu for those people. "
"Well, you handled this matter well." Zhou Feiqi said, "Is there someone from the Daliang town government office to accompany you to Beijing?"
"The mayor is here, but he feels shameless and is kneeling outside the gate of the imperial city." Speaking of this matter, Liang Xiao also felt that the mayor was a little confused. On the contrary, everyone knows it, and it is inappropriate not to punish him.However, he insisted on kneeling, and Liang Xiao couldn't stop him, so he had to let him go.
Zhou Feiqi sneered, and said to Mr. Hu who was beside him: "Let the Ministry of Officials deal with it according to the law. You go to do this now, the imperial court officials don't understand any rules!"
Eunuch Hu trotted out in a hurry. Naturally, he went to the gate of the city to get rid of the unruly lumps first, and then went to the Ministry of Officials to pass on the emperor's dictation.
In the Jiyang Palace, Liang Xiao said again: "Currently, Baigu Town is the only one that has been murdered because of immortals sending off their sons. When I returned to Beijing, I specially visited it. The Immortals cannot get rid of the relationship, but the Baigu County Yamen released it to the outside world as the work of Jiangyang Bandit, and the officials have also inquired about this matter in private, and it was the idea of the master in the Yamen, saying that it was to stabilize the people's hearts."
"Another fool." Zhou Feiqi's face showed a bit of anger, which he rarely did. Gao Yue watched from the side, and even felt a little strange.
Although Liang Xiao also saw that the emperor was furious at this time, he had to explain some things clearly, so he continued to bite the bullet: "The lower official investigated the master, and the man's surname is Wang, and he is in the same shrine as Wang Fuhu in Daliang Town. Cousin, therefore, the lower officials have secretly arrested this person, and he is now in Pingjing, where he is imprisoned together with the thirteen hunters in the prison of Dali Temple."
"Let Dali Temple hear this case overnight, and it will come forward tomorrow morning, and the result will be determined." Zhou Feiqi said and stood up, "You two come with me." He actually took Liang Xiao and Gao Yue to the back of Jiyang Hall study.
"Yue'er, study ink for me."
The emperor flicked his sleeves and picked up the pen, with a very skillful gesture, while Gao Yue picked up the ink stick and poured water to grind it, his movements were unfamiliar.Standing aside, Liang Xiao couldn't stand it any longer. If the emperor hadn't been waiting patiently, he would have wanted to do the work for Gao Yue.
Speaking of it, Gao Yue can't be blamed for this. Since he came here, he has been dealing with various accidents every day. Even the writing brush was just touched yesterday morning. The emperor said before about the task of grinding ink, but he Isn't the task assigned after returning to the palace to check the harem?He originally thought that the matter of entering the imperial study was mostly a failure, but how could he have thought that the emperor would make such a sudden attack today on a whim, and he would be caught off guard if he wasn't prepared!
Fortunately, the emperor just looked at him twice and didn't say anything.
The ink was not researched very well, but the emperor's calligraphy is so real that there is nothing to say. Gao Yue stood aside and looked at the emperor's brush calligraphy, and suddenly realized that this word has a faintly familiar feeling. I can't tell where I've seen it, but I feel that there are a few horizontal and vertical strokes that are particularly familiar.
Gao Yue stared at the words in a daze. The emperor had already written the handbook, handed it to Liang Xiao, and said, "Send this to Dali Temple immediately."
Liang Xiao took it solemnly, bid farewell to the emperor, and left in a hurry.This handbook is to urge Dali Temple to handle the case as soon as possible.
"What are you thinking about?" The emperor put down his pen, shook his sleeves twice to reveal his slender and beautiful hands, and seeing that Gao Yue's quiet and obedient appearance was a bit cute, he stroked the back of his head.
Gao Yue raised her head and looked at the emperor's face carefully, but she didn't know what was going on in her head. She suddenly grabbed the emperor's sleeve, lowered her eyelids and said, "Can your majesty give me a poem?"
Probably he also knew that this request was a bit of a thing, and he was embarrassed to look at the emperor after he finished speaking, but the fingers holding the emperor's sleeves were tightened, anyone could see that he was very disturbed at the moment.
The emperor was also obviously stunned for a moment, apparently not expecting Gao Yue to make this request.For a long time, the relationship between the two of them seems to be that he is taking the initiative, but in fact it is essentially two parallel lines that have been colliding but never intersected.
And such two people, at this moment, one of them is asking the other for a poem...
The first thing the emperor thought of was those love poems that Gao Yue had written before. Although they were all about pain, they were still love poems, but they were not written for him.Now, those poems have been burned by Gao Yue. At this moment, he is asking himself for poems——
Zhou Feiqi's Adam's apple slid up and down twice, and for some reason his eye sockets felt slightly warm.He heard his voice trembling a little, and said the word 'good'.
Gao Yue let out a 'hmm', and finally let go of Zhou Feiqi's sleeve, and picked up the ink stone to grind Zhou Feiqi again, this time he didn't add water to the inkstone, the ink was much thicker than before.
Zhou Feiqi paused for a moment while picking up his pen, raised his eyes, and took a quick look at Gao Yue. Seeing Gao Yue tilting his head and staring intently at the rice paper on the imperial case, with a peaceful expression and a beautiful face, he couldn't help but start to write
"Since it's a fairy's advice, it must have been arranged by the heavens. Gao Yue is not talented, but he remembers that there is a book that says that silica mixed with saltpeter can make a powerful medicine. This statement has never been understood. Thinking about it today, it may have something to do with Mr. Zhang's research. , As for where to find it, I see that Mr. Zhang has been working hard and has not achieved any results, why don't you revisit it for the same reason, firstly to change your thinking, and secondly, there may be new discoveries, maybe."
After Gao Yue finished speaking with a smile, the emperor who was sitting next to him suddenly coughed for some reason.
Zhou Feiqi coughed not only Gao Yue, but even Zhang Shuren looked over in wonder——
Then the emperor said seriously: "Zhang Aiqing has a lot of affairs, and you need to take charge of the overall situation here in Cuiying. You don't want to go to the old place again. You can handle the matter of the dark moon, and you come with me." He said, stood up, and also Finally let go of Gao Yue's hand.
Gao Yue watched Zhou Feiqi lead An Yue to the back of the palace, knowing that they had some secrets to tell, and Zhou Feiqi's test of herself might have come to an end here.Gao Yue breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time thought that Zhou Feiqi didn't need to bring himself to the arsenal at all. He could have called Zhang Shuren to the palace. Proficient in the art of gunpowder, it is naturally more convenient to use it on the spot in the arsenal; secondly, if Gao Yue is not a top-notch talent, Zhou Feiqi brought him here to show kindness.This kindness is the emperor's trust. After all, I have brought you to such a secret place. If you don't make good use of it for me, wouldn't it be a toast instead of fine wine?Then the fate can be imagined.
Therefore, Gao Yue knew that next, it was time for the emperor to read his feedback, and it was also the best time for him to show his loyalty—Gao Yue was thinking about the next thing he should tell the emperor about the ammonium nitrate, of course he couldn't say it directly , but in what form to tell him, Gao Yue needs to bother to design it.
At the back of the hall, Zhou Feiqi told An Yue: "Go to the Tianchi area of Gangang Mountain, find a white stone and bring it back, and leave today without any need to say anything."
"Subordinates obey."
"Since the beginning of summer, what happened to the Imperial Tomb?" Zhou Feiqi asked again.
An Yue said: "There is nothing unusual in the reports from the subordinates every day, but yesterday a flock of colorful birds was surprised at the imperial mausoleum, and they lingered for an hour before leaving."
"Oh?" Zhou Feiqi turned his eyes, then snorted softly, and said: "The birds won't linger for no reason, so we will send twice as many people to keep an eye on him at [-] o'clock, and report any abnormalities immediately."
"Yes." An Yue took the order but did not back down, as if he hesitated to speak.
Zhou Feiqi raised his eyebrows slightly, "Is there anything else?"
An Yue broke her heart, and suddenly knelt down and remonstrated: "Your Majesty, Bingcheng is an important place for the military, and Gao Shijun is a member of the harem. It is not appropriate for him to come here."
"Understood, you go down."
Zhou Feiqi raised his hand expressionlessly.An Yue saw that the emperor didn't care about this at all, she gritted her teeth and didn't dare to remonstrate, but in the end she was unwilling to do so, turned around and left with her lips and brows pursed.The emperor looked at his back, squinted his eyes, and finally let out a faint sigh.
Gao Yue and Zhang Shuren chatted a few more words while waiting for the emperor, and he said implicitly: "I have heard that there is a kind of white soil that can increase the power of gunpowder, but I don't know if it is that kind of silica soil. Did you say that? '
"White soil?" Zhang Shuren thought for a while, and said, "I've never heard of it. I don't know which book Shijun read it from, can you tell me the name?"
Gao Yue smiled and said: "I have to go back and confirm again. If there is a result, I will definitely tell the adults."
"That's a good feeling."
The two were talking, seeing An Yue come out from the back hall first, but his face was not very good, Zhang Shuren had been in contact with him for a long time, so it was inevitable that he should be concerned, but this time An Yue didn't say a word, and walked out directly , that stubbornness looks like a stubborn donkey.
Zhang Shuren smiled at Gao Yue a little embarrassingly, and said: "He has that temper, if he is rude, the servant should not blame him."
"It doesn't matter as long as you do your best for His Majesty, be loyal to Da Zhou and His Majesty, and don't be too rigid about details." Gao Yue comforted Zhang Shuren with a smile.He just habitually talked about the clichés that he used to comfort his subordinates before crossing, but when he heard it in Zhang Shuren's ears, he felt that this high servant was quite generous, and he was not a concubine in the harem who only wanted to compete for favor.
Soon, Zhang Shuren felt relieved when he thought of Gao Yue's background.After all, the filial and compassionate emperor of the previous dynasty came from the same family as Gao Yue. It seems that the Gao family in the south of the Yangtze River also took great pains to cultivate a harem brother.
Zhou Feiqi took Gao Yue to the arsenal for a stroll, and when the two returned, the atmosphere was completely different from when they came.
Gao Yue was silent all the way, but when he got into the carriage, he would take the initiative to lean into the emperor's arms. Although he didn't say a word, this move alone was enough for Zhou Feiqi to think about it.When Zhou Feiqi was thinking about it, he subconsciously wrapped his hands around Gao Yue and played with his fingers again, still in the 'short back and long' movement. Gao Yue directly closed his eyes this time, feeling that if he didn't look at the people behind him, he would This feeling is really like Chen Qian hugging himself.
When they returned to the palace, they both had lunch.And there was a group of people waiting outside the main hall of Jiyang Palace, including Concubine Shu who came to return to her life, Xiao Jiazi, a little eunuch who came from the Imperial Study Room to report, and someone from Yongshou Palace who called Gao Yue to come over for dinner Palace lady Polygonatum.
A group of people did not know how long they had been waiting in the Jiyang Hall. Anyway, no matter what they said, Eunuch Zhang, who had received the emperor's command, stood motionless in front of the hall, like a gatekeeper who could not be attacked for a long time, no matter how much their saliva splashed, just one sentence Words' the emperor said, no one can bother! '
Yu Zhu sighed and said, "But Master Gao has to eat too? His body... oh, how can he bear it!" After finishing speaking, he remembered that Concubine Shu was also at the side, and quickly shut up.
Concubine Shu still had that decent and elegant smile on her face, as if she didn't hear Yu Zhu's words at all.It's just that seeing the rest of the people looking at him after listening to Yuzhu's words, the already straight back just stood up straighter.
Everyone has been waiting here for less than half an hour, but they didn't hear any untimely movement from the hall. Presumably, His Majesty is just taking a nap.After all, their majesty is Zhou Feiqi, don't say that it's impossible during the day, even at night, he hasn't had such a thing in the past few years!
Facts have proved that sometimes, nothing should be taken for granted, there are exceptions in everything, and face-slapping is so fast, such as now——
Suddenly, there was a sound like applause in the hall that had been silent for a long time. It must be the rhythm... It's a bit hard to describe - followed by Gao Shijun's low growl with hidden anger: "What are you doing?! It hurts!"
Crowd: ...
In the hall, Zhou Feiqi circled Gao Yue from behind, grabbed his wrist with one hand, and clapped his hands vigorously!He used a little too much strength, and Gao Yue's palm was quickly shot red.Zhou Feiqi made another surprise attack this time, Gao Yue was not prepared at all, and his palms really hurt, after blurting out this sentence, he remembered his determination just now, and immediately gritted his teeth and held back.However, forbearance is forbearance, but the emperor who caused the crime was so painful that his eyes were full of tears.
The emperor was stared at, and instead of getting angry, he let go of Gao Yue.It's just that he held Gao Yue's fingertips, pulled Gao Yue's palms to his lips, and gently blew on him.
What are you doing?What are you doing? !
Gao Yue rolled her eyes countless times in her heart, would you give me a sweet date after hitting a stick?childish!
But Zhou Feiqi said: "Does it hurt? Yue'er has been wronged. There are too many people outside, so the show still needs to be sung. Your expression is really nice." Then, he raised his thumb and wiped the corners of Gao Yue's eyes.
Gao Yue: Damn, what does it mean to have a good expression? !Are you happy to see me cry in pain? !Also, the purpose of your acting is to make everyone misunderstand that I already had an affair with you? ! !
Although he thought so in his heart, he finally recognized the reality.
So, he lowered his eyelids, his eyelashes fluttered slightly, and said in a low voice, "I don't feel wronged if I can share your worries for His Majesty, that is," he suddenly raised his voice, "Your Majesty, please be gentle next time, because I really hurt!" His face turned red, but he tried his best to tense up, turned his head to the side, and stopped looking at Zhou Feiqi.
Seeing him like this, Zhou Feiqi smiled, and stared intently at Gao Yue's gradually flushed side face and already flushed auricles - at this moment, a picture appeared in his mind -
On a night in early autumn, on a vibrant campus, he said to the man, "I want to ask you to do me a favor..."
That night, he took the man to a street lamp by the side of the playground.
The lights were almost turned off, and there were few people. A pair of people stood under the halo of the street lamp, and a series of footsteps came from the darkness outside the halo.The footsteps originally carried the joy of a successful invitation, but they stopped when they approached the street lights——
Under the street lamp, the slightly taller boy held the shorter boy's cheek with both hands, and kissed the man's forehead.The surroundings were pitch black, but the place where the two stood was soft and bright.
He kissed his forehead and didn't move away for a long time.
The footsteps in the darkness left quietly, and the two people under the streetlight only had each other in their eyes.
The person who was kissed was blushing, but tense as much as possible, and turned his head to the side.His eyelashes fluttered slightly, and the end of his eyes, earlobes, and bases of his ears turned from pink to red, and soon even the pinnae of his ears turned red.
The relatives stared intently at the person's gradually flushed side face and ear pinnae, their lips squirmed, a little nervous, as if they wanted to say something.
However, before he could speak, the person who was kissed before suddenly turned around, hooked his neck, and put his lips together - the moment their lips met, the two of them were shocked, and then there was light tenderness Loving, fascinated eyes, out of control.
It was the first kiss of two people. They were as young as two little beasts that just learned to hunt. They stumbled along the way and even learned how to breathe. Later, the man's whole face turned red and purple, and he couldn't hold it anymore. Pushed After hugging him, she hugged his neck tightly and buried her face on his shoulders, and didn't look up after a long time.
At that time, he was kissing his ears lightly, and at the same time, he stretched his fingers and inserted them into his hair along his neck, stroking the back of his head against the root of his hair.The man's hair was soft and smooth, just like his temper, like a cup of hot milk that irons people's hearts, and he was reluctant to put it down as soon as he swallowed it.
The mood of the night is fading, the affection is overflowing, it will be overflowing, and when the love is beginning to be at a loss, I hear the man's muffled voice coming from the shoulder, saying, "I will be responsible for you, I like you".
At that moment, he only felt that in terms of being brave for love, he was several times better than himself!
……
Zhou Feiqi couldn't count how long ago that memory was, and looking back now, it really seems like a lifetime away.He thought that being lucky enough to meet and fall in love with the right person in life would be happiness. Even if they never meet again in the end, that beauty will still remain in his heart and will not be erased or forgotten. Impossible to be replaced!
Zhou Feiqi looked at Gao Yue in front of him, he thought, in Dazhou, this person is also a gift from heaven to him.Although he doesn't love himself, seeing him every day is a great comfort to him.He warned himself, don't ask for more extravagance, greed is often the beginning of falling into the abyss.
But he thought again, if one day, the person in front of him fell in love with him, what would he do?
The answer to this question cannot be given right now. Zhou Feiqi even feels that this idea is completely dangerous for him and Gao Yue now, because this idea is very tempting, but extremely cruel. it's the same.
So, Zhou Feiqi took a deep breath, suppressed this dangerous expectation, raised his hand and rubbed the top of Gao Yue's hair, and said, "Okay, let's go out with me."
Gao Yue let out an 'hmm', turned her head, saw a glimmer of sadness in the emperor's eyes, and was slightly stunned.
Outside the Jiyang Hall, Eunuch Zhang fulfilled his duties and resolutely guarded the door, and resolutely carried out His Majesty's commandment of "don't let anyone disturb him". Finally, after persisting for several hours, he heard a call from the hall: "Come on."
Eunuch Zhang quickly responded, opened the door and went in.The people who had been waiting outside the hall for a long time cheered up immediately after hearing the words, and after a short while, Eunuch Zhang came out with a smile on his face, and said to Concubine Shu: "Your Majesty summons your concubine to come in, please."
Concubine Shu led the maids across the threshold, Eunuch Zhang hurriedly said to Yuzhu again: "Your Majesty, let the Queen Mother take a message, just send lunch to Jiyang Palace, and later he will take Gao Shijun to pay the Queen Mother personally."
Yuzhu got the oral order and hurried back to Yongshou Palace to return to her life.The door of the main hall was closed again, and everyone outside the door continued to look forward to it.
In Jiyang Hall, the emperor sat on the throne, and Gao Yue stood on one side. Concubine Shugui saluted the emperor and received Gao Yue's visit before she spoke, saying: "The concubine has thoroughly checked Qingshu Hall and found no abnormalities. However, during the counting of the personnel, it was found that the personal eunuch who served Uncle Qing was missing one person. According to other people in the palace, the little eunuch had disappeared since the day of the accident. He said that he came to the Jiyang Palace to invite His Majesty, and then he did not go back. .”
Hearing this, Gao Yue already knew who the missing person was, the little eunuch named 'Xiaobenzi'.That day when he came to the Jiyang Palace to make trouble, Liang Xiao accompanied him to walk around the palace on the bell and drum towers. Servant, did not expect to disappear?I'm afraid it's not that simple, is it?
The emperor pondered for a while, and asked Concubine Shu: "Is there a register for the entry and exit of the palace?"
Concubine Shu shook her head and said: "The concubine has sent people to inquire, and the four palace gates and eight partial gates have not been found."
"Check again." After Zhou Feiqi finished speaking, she looked at Concubine Shu and saw that she slowly bowed to him but did not leave, so she asked, "What else is there for Concubine Ai?"
Concubine Shu looked at Gao Yue and smiled slightly.
Gao Yue also smiled back at her, turned to salute the emperor, and said: "Your Majesty, I was ordered by the Queen Mother to conduct a thorough investigation of the harem today, and I should go and see the results, so I will retire first."
"En," Zhou Feiqi hummed, but said, "Go to the side hall and wait until I have lunch with me."
Gao Yue thought to herself, how much Zhou Feiqi doesn't want to be alone with Concubine Shu this week?Everyone acted so clearly that they wanted to be alone with him, yet he even wanted to put another light bulb in the side hall. This is really... blinding such a beautiful beauty for nothing!
Gao Yue wanted to laugh a little, but in the end she held it back, obeyed the emperor's order, and left the main hall.When he went out, he heard the emperor say to Concubine Shu behind him, "Just say what you have to say."
Concubine Shu looked back at Gao Yue's back, and when she turned her head, the usual indifferent smile on her face was mixed with a trace of tenderness, which is a kind of coquettishness unique to women. At this moment, there are rippling water waves in her eyes looking at the emperor, pretty Said: "Oh, actually, the concubine just wanted to invite His Majesty to have dinner at the Yonghe Palace tomorrow. I don't know what your Majesty would like?" After speaking, she seemed extremely embarrassed, and raised her hand to stroke the hair beside her ear.
Zhou Feiqi said: "Tomorrow if I have time, I will go to the Concubine's Palace to sit. Is there anything else?"
Concubine Shu's face darkened slightly when she heard this, because the answer was the same as usual, but the emperor never had time for every 'tomorrow'.She shook her head with a wry smile, bowed again, and said: "The concubine will wait for His Majesty's arrival at Yonghe Palace tomorrow."
"Hmm." Zhou Feiqi's voice seemed very careless, the imperial concubine Zhi Shu saluted and exited the hall without even looking at her again, it can be said that she showed the true qualities of a ruthless emperor.
After Concubine Shu went out, the little eunuch who came to report from the imperial study was brought in by Eunuch Zhang, who said that the urgent report was sent from Gucheng, and the booklet had been handed over to the imperial study.
Zhou Feiqi said: "Send it to Jiyang Hall."
The little eunuch retreated in a hurry.Only then did Eunuch Zhang walk in with Xiao Jiazi, so far there was no one else outside the Jiyang Hall to face the saint.
Xiao Jiazi entered the hall, and immediately knelt down with a thud. Eunuch Zhang hurriedly turned around and closed the door of the hall. He also stepped forward and knelt down in front of Zhou Feiqi.Xiao Jiazi had thrown himself to the ground, crying bitterly, crying and saying: "This slave is ashamed of the emperor's grace, this slave has shamed His Majesty!"
Zhou Feiqi yelled until a blue vein bulged out of his forehead, and said angrily: "Stop howling, talk if you have something to say! What does crying look like?!"
Xiao Jiazi quickly sniffed his nose and wiped his face, straightened his upper body and replied, "Your Majesty, this slave is too stupid. I have been in charge of Jihe Hall for two days, but I didn't control those people under me and let them steal the ice from Xianfu Palace. This is a slave. Negligence is also dereliction of duty. No matter how you punish the servant, the servant will never complain, but even if the servant dies, he will never dare to hide anything from you. The servant has checked, and it is because the two little eunuchs in the palace were manipulated by the former steward Xiao Manzi My family, together with Dong Ya, the maid of the Xianfu Palace, had an affair in private. I don’t know what Xiao Manzi wanted the ice for, but every time the ice that was not dropped, it was said that it turned into water on the same day, and some of the water was said to be sent to Qing Dynasty. Some of the uncle's hall were mixed with the bad water of the day and transported out of the palace. The slave didn't know the seriousness of this matter, and he didn't dare to make a claim, so he hurriedly came to His Majesty, begging His Majesty to leave the slave's whole body!"
After Xiao Jiazi finished speaking, Eunuch Zhang also hurriedly said: "This old slave is unclear about who to recommend, and I am willing to accept punishment."
After they finished speaking, there was a moment of silence in the hall, and after a long while, Zhou Feiqi said, "How can you be sure that some of the ice has been sent to Uncle Qing Hall?"
"Here," Xiao Jiazi choked, swallowing nervously, and said, "It's the servant who interrogated those two greedy little eunuchs, and the servant at Qingshu Palace didn't verify..." This is true, but If you say it without verification, you are also suspected of chaotic climbing and biting.
However, the emperor spoke again, "Gao Shijun has been thoroughly investigating the harem recently. You should ask him to explain the situation to him later, and let him investigate. You should help me well. If you are not doing well in this matter, you will be fined for one year. Eunuch Zhang recommended People who don't clear their salary will be fined for three months."
Xiao Jiazi hurriedly kowtowed, looking at his posture as if he had finally sent out a hot potato, feeling relieved.
"Okay, let's go back if there is nothing else to do. I'm tired." Zhou Feiqi raised his hands, Xiao Jiazi and Eunuch Zhang hurriedly bowed and retreated, and then the emperor said again: "Eunuch Zhang, you go to the side hall and ask Gao Shijun to come see you I."
Eunuch Zhang hurriedly responded, and took Xiao Jiazi to the side hall first.Seeing Gao Yue, Xiao Jiazi finished talking about the robbing of the ice in Jihe Palace, seeing that Gao Yue was also like the emperor, and kept silent for a while, only then did he realize that things might be much worse than he expected.No one dared to make mistakes in front of the emperor, but Gao Shijun has always treated people calmly, and his temper was notoriously good. Little Jiazi was brave enough to ask, "Your servant, what is wrong with you?"
Unexpectedly, Gao Yue's answer was exactly the same as that of the emperor. He asked, "How did you make sure that some of the stolen ice was sent to Qingshu Hall?"
"Here," Xiao Jiazi and Eunuch Zhang looked at each other, and hurriedly said, "The slave has interrogated the little eunuch in the Jihe Hall, that's what they said. As for the Qingshu Hall, the slave has not verified it yet."
"Does Your Majesty know about this?" Gao Yue asked.
"Your Majesty said that you have been conducting a thorough investigation of the harem recently, and I will ask my servant to assist you in investigating this matter." Xiao Jiazi's voice became quieter as he saw Gao Yue's face showing a smile that was not a smile. It doesn't look friendly at all, but a little scary!
Eunuch Zhang bite the bullet and said: "Servant, Your Majesty invites you to go over."
"understood."
Gao Yue stood up, and there was a burst of talking outside. It turned out that Yuzhu brought someone to deliver lunch to Gao Yue.Eunuch Zhang heard the sound of "like being amnesty" and hurried out to Zhang Luo. He didn't know what was wrong with him, but he felt that Gao Shijun looked like he was going to hit someone at this moment, and even the air pressure in the whole side hall was brought by him like the eve of a storm It was so hot and stuffy.
In the main hall, when lunch was served, Gao Yue sat at the emperor's head, but he couldn't eat. The dishes were obviously delicious, and the rice was also selected fragrant rice, but Gao Yue only took two mouthfuls before putting down his chopsticks.
The ancients paid attention to eating without talking and sleeping without talking.The emperor didn't know whether he strictly abided by this on purpose, or he could see that Gao Yue was not happy. In short, he saw Gao Yue put down his chopsticks and didn't ask any more questions. He didn't ask Gao Yue until he finished eating, and then said to Gao Yue: "The matter of Jihe Palace, you What do you think?"
"Your Majesty is very embarrassed." Gao Yue said bluntly, "Your Majesty also heard what Concubine Shu said just now. She has thoroughly searched Qingshu Hall and found nothing. Now I will check again. If I find out something, I'm afraid Not so good?"
"Haha," the emperor laughed out loud when he heard the words, and said, "Yue'er just let go and do it, don't forget, there is Zhen behind you!" After speaking, he raised his hand and pressed Gao Yue's shoulder, firmly It wasn't heavy, but Gao Yue felt as if he had been given a reassurance, and a surge of energy surged in his heart inexplicably.
Immediately, Gao Yue thought about it, and it seemed that he often used this trick when encouraging his subordinates before.Once, when Chen Qian was in his office, he was dissatisfied when he saw him pressing his subordinate's shoulders. Afterwards, he asked Gao Yue what he said. Oh, he said to Chen Qian, "I didn't take the opportunity to eat XX's tofu, I just To let him know the burden on his shoulders and my confidence in him'.
Feng Shui took turns, today Gao Yue finally experienced the feelings of those subordinates back then, well, since the emperor said so, then he should look it up 'seek truth from facts' again.It's just that it's better to keep a low profile—Concubine Shu, Gao Yue thinks it's better not to offend as long as she can.
After lunch was dismissed, Eunuch Hu begged to see him outside the door holding a memorial. Zhou Feiqi announced him in, took the notebook from his hand, saw that it was the urgent report from the prefect of Gucheng, and asked, "Who is the urgent report?" delivered?"
Hu Gonggong said: "Liu Qingfeng, the head arrester in Gucheng, personally sent it to the palace."
"What about others?" Zhou Feiqi asked.
"Waiting outside the palace. Also, Your Majesty, Liang's guards are back."
"Well, let Liu Qingfeng come in first." Zhou Feiqi flipped through the memorial and said while reading.
Seeing this, Gao Yue got up and wanted to leave, but Zhou Feiqi pressed the back of his hand and said, "You can listen to it too."
Gao Yue had no choice but to sit down again.
Liu Qingfeng seems to have rushed all the way here, and he is still exhausted all over his body, his eyes are black and blue, it seems that he has not been able to sleep well these days on the road.After he entered the palace, he saw a handsome young man sitting beside the emperor. He was stunned for a moment, and then he recognized that the man was Gao Yue, and a kind smile appeared in his eyes. It can be seen that when Liang Xiao said that when he was a child, Liu Qingfeng loved him the most. It is not a lie to chase after Gao Yue's ass and call him brother.
Gao Yue had already seen Liu Qingfeng in Gucheng that day, but he was wearing a veil at that time, so Liu Qingfeng didn't recognize him.At this time, seeing the other party smiling, he smiled back with kindness, but Liu Qingfeng quickly suppressed his smile and knelt down to worship.Gao Yue turned her head and looked, Zhou Feiqi's complexion sank at some point. For a moment, she felt that the emperor's heart was really like a needle in the bottom of the sea. Guess what you want, but you will never know it anyway.
Liu Qingfeng paid homage to the emperor and then to Gao Yue, his etiquette was impeccable, and this alone shows that his personality is actually very calm.
The emperor had finished reading the brochure at this time, and he put the brochure by his hand. He was tapping on the back of the chair with his fingers at this moment, and said: "I read the brochure that Han Qinzhang showed me. Since the Gu worms have polluted most of the girls, how can Gucheng go this year?" There is no need to send the election. As for the Eastern countries, I have my own arrangements. You go back and tell Han Qinzhang so that he does not have to worry. However, Gu insects are a serious problem, and must be cleaned up within a month. If he has difficulties, he can report to the court. Just send officials to help him."
It sounds good to send officials to help, but it is not.
Liu Qingfeng is clearly aware of the stakes in this, so he quickly said: "Master Han is grateful for the grace, and will definitely do his best to eliminate this trouble for the court."
"That's good." After a slight pause, Zhou Feiqi asked again: "How is the investigation of the Bai family going?"
"The subordinates have been investigating this matter recently. It has been found that the Bai family moved from Yucheng to Jinzhou in the 25th year of Chengzhao, lived in Baigu County and Jicheng for two years, and was settled in the first year of Jiayi. The city was originally from the south of the Yangtze River. When the Bai family lived in Yucheng, they used to live on human teeth. Later, they offended a large local family and had to move north. After entering Jinzhou, they first did business in cloth, mules and horses, and later opened Inns and restaurants are gradually becoming a family business. After the accident at the Baijia Inn in Gucheng, all the Baijia Inns in Jinzhou have been emptied, and I suspect that they may have all fled to the sea."
"Investigate again. Be sure to uproot this Bai family." Zhou Feiqi knocked on the handrail, and said again: "Later, you come to the imperial study room, and I will give you a handbook. You give it to General Zhendong, and he will dispatch the navy. cooperate with you."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace!" Liu Qingfeng knelt down again, still courteous, without showing the slightest complacency on his face.
Gao Yue watched from the side, and nodded secretly, Liu Qingfeng's calm demeanor was enough to take on the big responsibility, and the Liu family sent him out to practice, and it shouldn't be long before he was transferred back to the capital.
After Liu Qingfeng withdrew, the emperor did not rush to summon Liang Xiao, but stopped Hu Gonggong, who was about to go out, and said, "Is there any progress in the matter of Jihe Palace that I asked you to ask yesterday?"
Eunuch Hu has actually received the news, knowing that just now Eunuch Zhang has brought Xiao Jiazi to Jiyang Palace to report once, and both of them have been fined.But right now, the emperor asked himself again, and he knew this intention well after being with him for many years, so he said: "The slave has checked, and the two eunuchs in Ji and Dian are useless, one is Xiaodouziyuan She was served by Wang Meiren's side, but he hated the poor and loved the rich, so he climbed up to Jihe Hall and kicked the original master. Ling, a man named Xiao Lanzi, entered the palace with Xiao Manzi in the same batch. The two originally did not deal with each other, but Xiao Manzi Later, when he took charge of Jihe Palace, this little basket was subdued. The two of their families left the capital a year ago and did not come back. As for whether they were kidnapped or had an accident, the slaves are still investigating. In addition, Xianfu Palace has A palace lady named Dongya was originally a rough worker in the Clothes Bureau, but was later transferred to Xianfu Palace, and now she is locked up by Concubine Han. It is said that she was caught with a board yesterday and she is still in a coma. This girl's His native place is Gucheng."
"All three of them will be sent to prison first, don't let that maid die." Zhou Feiqi said.
Eunuch Hu responded, and said again: "Your Majesty, Guard Liang is still waiting outside, do you want to—"
"Well, let him in."
When Liang Xiao came in, he saw Gao Yue was there, and just like Liu Qingfeng, a smile appeared in his eyes unconsciously.This time Zhou Feiqi didn't change his face, but frowned slightly, Liang Xiao quickly bowed his head when he saw this.Today he mainly came back and forth to report on the affairs of Daliang Town, so he said, "The case of fake immortals in Daliang Town has been settled today. A total of 13 hunters who pretended to be immortals were arrested and 120 people in Daliang Town were rescued. The official also learned from the common people that since the beginning of the year, the matter of immortals giving children has become popular in the border between the two prefectures of Baxian Mountain. Over the past six months, there are about twenty villages and counties that have invited fake immortals. The people of Zimomo have not been clearly counted yet, and it is conservatively estimated that there are no fewer than [-] people. The officials thought that this matter was important, so they asked the two Taoist priests and two teams of guards from Chiyun Temple to go to the countryside separately to test and pull out the Gu for those people. "
"Well, you handled this matter well." Zhou Feiqi said, "Is there someone from the Daliang town government office to accompany you to Beijing?"
"The mayor is here, but he feels shameless and is kneeling outside the gate of the imperial city." Speaking of this matter, Liang Xiao also felt that the mayor was a little confused. On the contrary, everyone knows it, and it is inappropriate not to punish him.However, he insisted on kneeling, and Liang Xiao couldn't stop him, so he had to let him go.
Zhou Feiqi sneered, and said to Mr. Hu who was beside him: "Let the Ministry of Officials deal with it according to the law. You go to do this now, the imperial court officials don't understand any rules!"
Eunuch Hu trotted out in a hurry. Naturally, he went to the gate of the city to get rid of the unruly lumps first, and then went to the Ministry of Officials to pass on the emperor's dictation.
In the Jiyang Palace, Liang Xiao said again: "Currently, Baigu Town is the only one that has been murdered because of immortals sending off their sons. When I returned to Beijing, I specially visited it. The Immortals cannot get rid of the relationship, but the Baigu County Yamen released it to the outside world as the work of Jiangyang Bandit, and the officials have also inquired about this matter in private, and it was the idea of the master in the Yamen, saying that it was to stabilize the people's hearts."
"Another fool." Zhou Feiqi's face showed a bit of anger, which he rarely did. Gao Yue watched from the side, and even felt a little strange.
Although Liang Xiao also saw that the emperor was furious at this time, he had to explain some things clearly, so he continued to bite the bullet: "The lower official investigated the master, and the man's surname is Wang, and he is in the same shrine as Wang Fuhu in Daliang Town. Cousin, therefore, the lower officials have secretly arrested this person, and he is now in Pingjing, where he is imprisoned together with the thirteen hunters in the prison of Dali Temple."
"Let Dali Temple hear this case overnight, and it will come forward tomorrow morning, and the result will be determined." Zhou Feiqi said and stood up, "You two come with me." He actually took Liang Xiao and Gao Yue to the back of Jiyang Hall study.
"Yue'er, study ink for me."
The emperor flicked his sleeves and picked up the pen, with a very skillful gesture, while Gao Yue picked up the ink stick and poured water to grind it, his movements were unfamiliar.Standing aside, Liang Xiao couldn't stand it any longer. If the emperor hadn't been waiting patiently, he would have wanted to do the work for Gao Yue.
Speaking of it, Gao Yue can't be blamed for this. Since he came here, he has been dealing with various accidents every day. Even the writing brush was just touched yesterday morning. The emperor said before about the task of grinding ink, but he Isn't the task assigned after returning to the palace to check the harem?He originally thought that the matter of entering the imperial study was mostly a failure, but how could he have thought that the emperor would make such a sudden attack today on a whim, and he would be caught off guard if he wasn't prepared!
Fortunately, the emperor just looked at him twice and didn't say anything.
The ink was not researched very well, but the emperor's calligraphy is so real that there is nothing to say. Gao Yue stood aside and looked at the emperor's brush calligraphy, and suddenly realized that this word has a faintly familiar feeling. I can't tell where I've seen it, but I feel that there are a few horizontal and vertical strokes that are particularly familiar.
Gao Yue stared at the words in a daze. The emperor had already written the handbook, handed it to Liang Xiao, and said, "Send this to Dali Temple immediately."
Liang Xiao took it solemnly, bid farewell to the emperor, and left in a hurry.This handbook is to urge Dali Temple to handle the case as soon as possible.
"What are you thinking about?" The emperor put down his pen, shook his sleeves twice to reveal his slender and beautiful hands, and seeing that Gao Yue's quiet and obedient appearance was a bit cute, he stroked the back of his head.
Gao Yue raised her head and looked at the emperor's face carefully, but she didn't know what was going on in her head. She suddenly grabbed the emperor's sleeve, lowered her eyelids and said, "Can your majesty give me a poem?"
Probably he also knew that this request was a bit of a thing, and he was embarrassed to look at the emperor after he finished speaking, but the fingers holding the emperor's sleeves were tightened, anyone could see that he was very disturbed at the moment.
The emperor was also obviously stunned for a moment, apparently not expecting Gao Yue to make this request.For a long time, the relationship between the two of them seems to be that he is taking the initiative, but in fact it is essentially two parallel lines that have been colliding but never intersected.
And such two people, at this moment, one of them is asking the other for a poem...
The first thing the emperor thought of was those love poems that Gao Yue had written before. Although they were all about pain, they were still love poems, but they were not written for him.Now, those poems have been burned by Gao Yue. At this moment, he is asking himself for poems——
Zhou Feiqi's Adam's apple slid up and down twice, and for some reason his eye sockets felt slightly warm.He heard his voice trembling a little, and said the word 'good'.
Gao Yue let out a 'hmm', and finally let go of Zhou Feiqi's sleeve, and picked up the ink stone to grind Zhou Feiqi again, this time he didn't add water to the inkstone, the ink was much thicker than before.
Zhou Feiqi paused for a moment while picking up his pen, raised his eyes, and took a quick look at Gao Yue. Seeing Gao Yue tilting his head and staring intently at the rice paper on the imperial case, with a peaceful expression and a beautiful face, he couldn't help but start to write
