Dongyin

?The days that followed were very ordinary. After the house ceremony was the phase, all affairs were carried out step by step.Duan Hong added 100 million taels of silver to build a mausoleum for Zhuangji, and no one objected.Time flies like this, and it's mid-February.

In the afternoon of that day, Duan Hong took a nap as usual.Not long after he lay down, someone from the palace said that the prime minister was asking to see him in the study.Su Jiali knew her routine very well, so it must be something urgent to ask for a consultation at this time.She got out of bed immediately, and when she got to the study, she saw Su Jiali standing in the room with a worried expression.

"Prime Minister, please sit down." Duan Hong sat in front of the case, and after the palace servants served tea, he asked, "What's the matter, Prime Minister, so urgent?"

"It's really impolite to disturb Your Majesty at this time." Su Jiali stepped forward and handed over the memorial, saying, "I have three things to play, this is one of them, Your Majesty please look over it."

Duan Hong opened it to watch, and Su Jiali took his seat and said, "This matter was planned to be played again tomorrow. Zhao's whole country has only 30 troops, but I got the news that Zheng Yu borrowed [-] troops to Chen Guo. It seems that it is a good idea." I am determined to get along with Chen Guo."

Duan Hong looked at it, and said, "It is said that the army has stopped on the Qinghe Dam for several days. Why did the news come only now?"

"Although Chen borrowed troops, he only sent a general to go there. I think it was done on purpose to cover his eyes and ears."

Duan Hong nodded and said, "This matter can't be sloppy. The tens of thousands of recruits recruited by the Marquis of Jin'an are still waiting in the battalion. Let's summon them now and integrate them with the soldiers who attacked Liangcheng earlier."

"I'm afraid this battle will break out soon, and the general who will lead the army at that time, Your Majesty has to make plans first."

"I'll think about this matter again." Duan Hong suddenly became upset, and said, "Let's talk about the next one."

"..." Su Jiali said, "Recently, people in cross-dressing have appeared all over the place, claiming to be guarding the treasures of the previous dynasty in Jiulong Mountain. They spread rumors that it is true that His Majesty built the mausoleum for Duke Zhuang and smuggled the treasure. The princes are suspicious. There are so many people who have come forward to ask for proof of this matter.”

"It's just a rumor, it can't be true, you just block it."

Seeing that Duan Hong became irritable for some reason, Su Jiali had no choice but to say, "The last thing is the important thing that I came here. I got the news during lunch that Marquis Jin'an had a private meeting with several generals in the prefect's mansion in the morning. meeting."

"Then do you know what they said?"

"I don't know this minister," said Su Jiali, "but those generals have defended Jin Anhou's words and deeds as early as the beginning of His Majesty's accession to the throne. I am afraid..."

"Okay!" Duan Hong said in a cold voice suddenly, "Marquis Jin An was cut off from all his duties by me a few days ago. Don't talk about such pretentious things in the future!"

"...Yes" Su Jiali hurriedly got up, and Duan Hong went out with a cold face.

But Duan Hong went out with a cold face, but he didn't know where he was going.Thinking that the flowers bloomed beautifully in those few days, it is better to go to watch them again.It was only when she got there that she realized that the flowers in the garden were about to wither, and there were still some palace people working in the garden.

Seeing Duan Hong's doubts, the eunuch next to him said, "Thank you for the cyclamen's opening. The eunuch specially sent some seasonal flowers in the morning. The sun is shining right now, so Director Gao will order people to move in first."

Duan Hong understood, and looked closer, there were all kinds of flowers in buds, and the bottom was covered with mud, obviously they had just been dug out not long ago.After watching it for a while, she suddenly became interested and said, "Get a flower hoe."

Others were busy picking up hoes, so Duan Hong dug a hole on the side of the road, and then picked a fat camellia to plant in it.The work was not heavy, but Duan Hong was sweating under the sun.The maid brought water, and while Duan Hong was washing his hands, the eunuch flattered him.Duan Hong had heard a lot of good things, but the eunuch had something interesting to say, so he asked his name.

The eunuch said, "My real name is Li Zhuo, and everyone calls my servant Xiao Zhuozi. This servant grew up in Fucheng. This time when the Holy Majesty came to Fucheng, Director Gao specially told this servant to serve His Majesty."

Duan Hong nodded and said, "Yang Zhen has been by my side for more than ten years, and I beat him back to Linzi a few days ago, do you know why?"

"It's because Lord Yang is unwell, and His Majesty's new talent, Zhang Ting, is highly skilled in martial arts."

"In terms of martial arts, those who compete with him in the same hall are slightly better. The essays are not to mention." Duan Hong glanced at him, and seeing that he couldn't answer, he said, "The reason why I use him is because in the He said a word during the written test: if a villain is not talented, he will write a character of loyalty in this life. Do you understand?"

"The slave understands."

"That's good." Duan Hong said, "The people around me never stay for long, it's best for you to understand. Since you follow me, you are my people. Don't talk about the words Mr. Gao. "

"Yes."

Duan Hong looked at him, and didn't say much, just said, "Since you grew up in Fucheng, do you know what interesting places to go here?"

The eunuch's eyes brightened, and he said proudly, "Your Majesty, you are asking the right person. Fucheng has always been known as a small capital, and there are plenty of places to eat, drink, and play. For example..."

"Enough." Duan Hong winked at him, and said, "Get ready, let's go out."

"Your servant obeys." The eunuch was still young, and he was overjoyed when he heard that.

Duan Hong thought about going back to change his robe, but when he turned around, he saw Chu Xiying walking towards the garden.She didn't want to see anyone at this time, but everyone saw it, so she didn't move.

Chu Xiying was dressed very plainly today, and after going up to salute, Duan Hong asked, "Why do you..."

"I heard that some new flowers and trees are going to be planted in this garden. I'm idle anyway, so I want to help out. Why didn't your majesty take a nap today?"

"Just going back." Chu Xiying always liked these things, Duan Hong didn't say much, just said, "You are in good health, don't be too tired."

Chu Xi responded, and his eyes inadvertently fell on the camellia planted by Duan Honggang.Seeing her surprised expression, Li Zhuo replied, "Your Majesty planted this with his own hands just now."

Is it?Chu Xiying suddenly felt a little smile in her eyes. She looked at Duan Hong and said, "It's rare for His Majesty to be so elegant, how about..."

"I still have something to do." Duan Hong interrupted aloud, and felt that his tone was too heavy, and said, "I want to go out for a walk, do you want to go?"

"Since your Majesty invited me, I dare not refuse." Chu Xiying's face was calm, but he was really puzzled in his heart.I have no patience for doing anything these days, and it's not about her, it seems that I am angry with myself.

Duan Hong hoped that she would refuse in his heart, but he didn't know that she had no intention of going out after such an answer.But since the words have been spoken, there is no reason to go back on your word, "Go back and change your clothes first, and I will ask someone to pick you up." After saying that, he left without looking back.

Chu Xiying was stunned. Fortunately, Ying'er reacted quickly, and stopped a little eunuch on his tail and said, "I ask you, what's going on your majesty these days?"

"I don't know about this either," the eunuch said, "I heard that I was in the study just now, and I was looking at Prime Minister Su. But planting trees here in a flash, it's fine again."

"..." Chu Xiying raised eyebrows somewhat, and asked, "How long has Your Majesty been like this?"

"Miss Hui Biao," the eunuch thought for a while and said, "Probably after going to the South Pavilion that night."

"Understood, you can go back first." Sure enough, if she had known that Duan Hong would be so upset by those two words, she would not have asked, and it was better to let things take their course.

But Chu Xiying waited in the carriage for more than half an hour before Duan Hong arrived slowly.It's just that she got into the car and didn't speak, just opened the curtain and looked outside.The street is bustling and bustling, but if you look at it like this, you can see something.But after only an hour of shopping, Duan Hong wanted to go back.

She was restless, and Chu Xiying saw it at a glance, and only asked, "Is there any place you want to go, Your Majesty?"

"No."

"I heard that there is a famous silk and satin shop in Fucheng. I want to buy two pieces of cloth. What do you think, Your Majesty?"

What kind of cloth is not available in the palace, so I have to buy it outside!Duan Hong thought this way in his heart, but he didn't want to get angry with her, so he glanced outside and said, "It's up to you."

The carriage arrived in front of the shop soon, but Duan Hong didn't get down.This is the prosperous place of Fucheng, there is a lot of people outside, but Duan Hong feels like sitting on pins and needles.Fortunately, not long after, the palace servant brought up two beds of snow-white satin, and then Chu Xiying also got into the carriage.

Duan Hong then asked, "What are you buying this for?"

"The weather is getting warmer, and I want to make two pajamas for His Majesty."

This sentence exploded in Duan Hong's mind like a thunderbolt. As we all know, Duan Hong's pajamas have always been made by Bai Yan. The implication of Chu Xiying's words is naturally very obvious. This is what Duan Hong expected "I still have more clothes, no need."

"But I only said to do it, and I don't have to wear it." Chu Xi looked at her lingeringly, and his mood fluctuated. "I just want to let your majesty know that there is such a dress. If your majesty likes it, you can keep it. If you don't I like to find a random place to throw it away, why bother about it?"

At that very moment, Duan Hong's heart calmed down, "I just... hate myself for not wanting to throw it away but also not wanting to wear it."

"Your Majesty, just keep it and watch, okay?"

"Is it old?"

"It's nice to have someone look at it when it's old."

"..." Duan Hong fell silent, looked up at her after a while, and said slowly, "I don't want to let her down and hurt you again."

After so long, Duan Hong was finally willing to respond directly to her feelings.Chu Xiying only felt both sorrow and joy, "Then what does His Majesty want?"

"I don't know." Duan Hong felt his heart was in a tangle of confusion and he had no thoughts. "I just know that no matter what, I have to meet her."

"Then I wait for you"

Duan Hong was startled, then heard her say again, "Let's put these two clothes aside for now."
