His Majesty And Ministers

Jing Ye rested for a few days, then resumed the morning court, and everything was as usual.

Feng Ling was promoted by his decree to be the editor of the Imperial Academy, specializing in the compilation of history books, and lectures at banquets.Everyone in the government and the public was a little panicked, but seeing that the emperor had returned to the early court, and his expression was solemn and peaceful when discussing matters, he was a little relieved.

Mrs. Feng struggled on the bed for a few days, and then forced himself to go up to the court. The courtiers looked at him with sympathy and regret, but on the surface they all respected him very much. He was also more polite when arguing.

After all, he is the head of the country.

Old Master Feng was so angry that his old blood stagnated in his chest, and he returned home after leaving court. Mrs. Feng persuaded him to let Feng Ling go home, and the old man's reaction was very violent:

"Come back? Where did you come back from! Now that his wings are hardened, let him set up his own family outside! No one will tarnish the reputation of my Feng family for generations!"

Mrs. Feng got a slap in the face for her persuasion, sighed, and let the two of them make a fuss.

Jing Ye returned from the imperial study to the dormitory in the evening, saw Jing Xiaoyun and Zhao Yue were playing on the brocade inside the curtain surrounded by court ladies, thought of someone, and asked Gu Hong, "When did Lu Baizang come back?"

Gu Hong thought for a while and said, "It's been two days."

Jing Ye nodded, and Gu Hong said again: "Speaking of which, the day when Jiangnan's Lin family will come to Beijing to offer silk is coming soon."

Silk offerings not only refer to silk brocades, but also include all kinds of treasures and rare treasures found and made in the south of the Qinhuai River. For several generations, the Lin family has been in charge. Every three years after the beginning of spring, the Lin family will personally transport them into Beijing noodles St.

It is said to be offering treasures, but it is actually related to Qingyu Pavilion.

But Lin Xiaosheng, who was in charge of the Lin family's generation, was in the palace, so the person who presented the silk had to be chosen elsewhere.

Gu Hong said: "Master Lin passed away eight years ago, so this time Mrs. Lin personally presented the silk."

Jing Ye paused and said, "Madam Lin?"

Gu Hong said: "It's Xiaosheng's aunt, Mrs. Feng."

What is Lin Xiaosheng's life experience, both of them are well aware that since Mrs. Lin is a noble wife, she will never be a kind mother to Lin Xiaosheng.

Gu Hong turned around and picked up the jade pot on the small table to pour tea. Suddenly, something slipped out of his sleeve and floated on the ground. Jing Ye caught a glimpse of it, leaned over to pick it up, and unfolded it, asking, "What is this?"

"A prescription." Gu Hong pulled him to sit on the couch, and handed him a teacup that was warm in his hands, "It was written by my third brother, Tuo Chen, after discussing it with all the adults in the Imperial Hospital."

Jing Ye asked: "What? Is someone sick in the house?"

Gu Hong said: "Your Majesty, do you still remember the daughter of the Jiang family who was placed next to Xu Ming, and Qi Qiao who was forcibly snatched by Xu Ming's son?"

Jing Ye took a sip of tea, then raised his head and said, "I remember."

"This Qi Qiao is now at the minister's house, and is being taken care of by the minister's third brother. It's just that he has lost his mind, and even though Xu third brother tortured Xu Ming's son Xu Huang, Yang Zi knew that Qi Qiao's insanity was caused by _____ So I asked everyone in the Tai Hospital to investigate his symptoms and write a prescription for detoxification."

Jing Ye glanced at the paper: "Is this written?"

"The people discussed for several days before they came up with it." Gu Hong tapped the ink on the prescription, but frowned, "It's just that most of the dozen or so flavors are medicines for tigers and wolves, which are harmful to the human body but not beneficial. They are said to be detoxification. , If you really want to use it, it is equivalent to fighting with your life."

Jing Ye frowned, raised his head and looked at Gu Hong.

At the same time, Gu Fuzhong.

The old doctor with a goatee ordered the boy to carry the medicine box on his back, got up and said goodbye to Gu Yun, before leaving, he said to Gu Yun and Jiang Zhitao, Bai Dongling, who was beside him: "This matter is about human life, we were supposed to save people's lives , I shouldn’t draw up this formula of tiger and wolf, but... well, please think carefully about it, both of you.”

"Yes." Gu Yun cupped his hands, "Thank you, sir."

The imperial doctor waved his hand and said goodbye.

Gu Yun sent the man out of the hospital, and then returned to the bedroom, only to see Jiang Zhitao sitting by the bed, staring at Qi Qiao quietly.

Gu Yun stood outside the door watching this scene, took out the prescription and glanced at it, said: "Jiasong."

The servant standing behind him hurriedly lowered his head and said, "Master, what are your orders?"

Gu Yun gave him the prescription and said, "Take this and burn it."

The servant hurried forward to take it, and was about to step back when Jiang Zhitao shouted, "Wait a minute."

Gu Yun turned his head and saw Jiang Zhitao got up and said, "General, what do you mean?"

"As the girl sees." Gu Yun said, "It's not about whether the memory is restored or not. It's a matter of human life, so don't take risks."

Jiang Zhitao's expression turned cold and he said, "Could it be that the general also wants Ah Qiao to be crazy and foolish all his life, so that he can't even remember his beloved, Chaos?"

Gu Yun said: "Of course I want him to recover, but this is obviously a gamble! If the gamble fails, even his life will be lost."

Jiang Zhitao looked at him and smiled, then raised his head to meet him and said, "Forgive me for being offensive, but the general can't decide whether to use the medicine or not."

Gu Yun's eyes sank.

"The person who grew up with Ah Qiao's childhood sweetheart and got married is not a general, and the one who sneaked into Xu's mansion and endured humiliation for him is not a general, and the one he misses so much that even if he loses his mind, he has to remember it...and it is not a general."

"This is a matter between the little girl and Ah Qiao. The general, a latecomer, is not qualified to intervene."

Gu Yun lowered his eyes, moved his lips but did not speak, acquiescing to her warning.

Jiang Zhitao knew in his heart that this person was a gentleman, so he said these words, and seeing the effect, he stopped talking, turned and went into the room to accompany Qi Qiao.

However, Gu Yun said again: "Miss Jiang."

Jiang Zhitao paused, and Gu Yun said word by word: "What the girl said is indeed reasonable. An outsider like Gu can't control the internal affairs of the bureau."

Jiang Zhitao turned her head and listened to him.

"Gu Mou was actually prepared in his heart. This person... If you let go of this person in despair, I will take over and take care of him for the rest of his life." Gu Yun couldn't help but smile when he said this.

"But if you are willing to stay and marry him for the rest of your life, I will personally organize the wedding for you, and invite guests to a banquet in a splendid manner. In the future, you will have no worries about food and clothing, and you will live a stable life."

Jiang Zhitao's eyebrows twitched.

"But I will never back down when it comes to deciding Qi Qiao's life or death." Gu Yun looked at her firmly and said, "Unless Qi Qiao wakes up and makes up his mind, otherwise I, Gu Yun, a man of seven feet, can't even Can you lose the life of your sweetheart?"

What he said was a bit of a rascal, Qi Qiao is now delirious, how can he make any decisions?

Jiang Zhitao gritted her teeth, and said in a cold voice: "Since the general said this, the little girl has nothing to do. Please go ahead, general."

As he spoke, he turned around and entered the house without looking back.

Gu Yun turned his head and told the boy: "Don't burn it yet."

The little servant hurriedly stepped back and said, "Yes, I'll go now, little one."

Five days later, after the door was opened and the drums beat in the morning, the Lin family's convoy arrived at the gate of the capital.

That night, the emperor held a palace banquet in the Palace of Preservation and the silk offering began.

The main hall was brightly lit, and the officials of the third rank and above sat on both sides with their families. All the court officials shuttled between the steps and the gate of the hall, presenting the silk offerings one by one, and the eunuchs at the side reported their names.

Imperial kiln porcelain, calligraphy and painting with ancient brushes, all kinds of utensils carved from Xiuyu, agate, dense jade and even jadeite, lapis lazuli, chicken liver stone, malachite, bamboo, wood, teeth, horns, four treasures of the study, lacquerware, embroidery, bronze ware , Buddha statues, and gold-plated utensils are dazzling and overwhelming.

Jing Ye was somewhat interested at first, but later his eyes began to blur.He thought to himself, after three years, it's no wonder that his predecessor was such a prodigal, Gu Hong and Lin Xiaosheng didn't bat an eye.

I am not tired of being blinded by a bunch of things here in the imperial study room.

The eunuch was still registering, but Jing Ye's eyelids began to droop. Seeing this, Gu Hong, who was closest to him, reached out to hold him from under the table and said, "Your Majesty."

"Huh?" Jing Ye raised his head, rubbed his forehead, and continued to look.

"Water-foamed jade bamboo branches, sparrows and birds are in a state of restraint—"

Jing Ye's gaze randomly swept over those brilliant ring hairpins, and suddenly saw something, and his expression changed.

Seeing this, Ye Mao who was standing by the side hurriedly waved his whisk, the ceremonial officer presented the sandalwood plate in his hand, Ye Mao took it, handed it to Jing Ye and said: "Your Majesty, please have a look."

Jing Ye picked up the string of jade pendants, the topmost wishful knot was decorated with white jade beads, and the bottom two strings of purple jadeite beads were arranged in the middle according to size, each round, and finally formed a string of finely carved jadeite carvings made of flowers and birds. , as if colorless, below is the tassel.

Jing Ye glanced at it twice, and said, "Why do you feel like you've seen it somewhere?"

"This..." Ye Mao thought about it carefully, "I have never seen it before."

Jing Ye put the thing back on the plate and said, "Go ahead."

When the banquet was over, all the ministers left the palace, and Feng Shi also took a son and a daughter to bid farewell to Jing Ye, saying: "I have one more thing to ask Your Majesty, I hope His Majesty will fulfill it."

Jing Ye said: "Madam, let's talk."

Feng said with a smile: "Mr. Lin has been in the palace for several years, and the minister's wife, as a concubine, has not been able to visit once or twice. She really misses her and asks His Majesty to allow the minister's wife to come to the palace to visit on a certain day."

Jing Ye raised his eyebrows, glanced at Gu Hong, and said, "Madam's love for her son is commendable, I'm sure."

Feng Shi bowed down and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

After moving out of the Hall of Preservation and Harmony, Jing Ye said to Gu Hong, "I saw Mrs. Lin just now, and I remembered where I saw that forbidden step."

At night Lin Xiaosheng came to accompany Jing Ye through the bedroom, Jing Ye held him back and said, "I have something for you."

As he said that, he took out an exquisite brocade box and opened it, it was the forbidden step brought by the ceremony official at the palace banquet.

Lin Xiaosheng's eyes moved.

Jing Ye said: "Is it exactly the same as the one in your bedroom, making them a pair?"

Lin Xiao said: "Yes."

Jing Ye looked at him and said, "Since it's a pair, how can you take them apart?"

Lin Xiaosheng stroked the lifelike bamboo branches on it with his fingers, and said, "It belongs to my mother. She was seriously ill in the past. In order to ask for two good dishes from the kitchen, I secretly took this and gave it to the kitchen steward."

"Later, when my mother found out, she was so angry that she coughed up blood. I went to ask the steward to get it back, but she said that she had exchanged it for wine and food, and couldn't get it back."

Jing Ye held the item in his hand when he heard the words, and said with a smile, "This is a gift from today's banquet, so I will give it to you."

Lin Xiaosheng looked at him, leaned over to kiss his lips, and whispered between his soft lips and teeth: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward."

Seeing this, the palace people standing around hurriedly extinguished a few lamps and candles, and withdrew with a blushing face.
