old grace
Chapter 187
Yun Chao was not on the mountain, and Fu Chuan was still thinking about getting up to make breakfast for the elder brother, and was hugged by Xie Qinghe as soon as he turned over.
The quilt was extremely warm, against the warm and smooth chest of the senior brother, Fu Chuan also wanted to stay in bed, so he couldn't help but smiled.Xie Qinghe didn't even open his eyes, he groped and kissed him on the back of his neck, and said, "It's still early."
"It's getting late. I'll make glutinous rice balls for senior brother." Fu Chuan turned over and approached him, kissing his face.
Xie Qinghe held the back of his neck and kissed him: "Don't bother."
It was quite late last night, Fu Chuan had been asleep for a long time, Xie Qinghe leaned against the head of the bed and sat alone for a while, thinking about his relationship with Fu Chuan and the way they get along. Hold my junior brother and sleep for a while longer.
Unexpectedly, he didn't even open his eyelids, he put his arms around Fu Chuan and kissed randomly, Fu Chuan's face was flushed, and he was distracted again.
——Staying so close to the elder brother, and being hugged and kissed, can this be resisted?
Fu Chuan didn't want to get up anymore, he inserted one hand into Xie Qinghe's back along the bedding, closed his arms, pulled Xie Qinghe into his arms, buried his head on Xie Qinghe's chest, exhaled for a while, rubbed the tip of his nose for a while, and then Deliberately bent his knees to rub Xie Qinghe.
Xie Qinghe couldn't sleep, he couldn't help smiling, and said: "Little brother Longma spirit."
"Not as good as senior brother." Fu Chuan had already noticed the response from senior senior brother, his cheeks were flushed, and he slowly got up.
The two of them were doing their routine on the couch, sweating all over, and even woke up after dozing off.
I ate glutinous rice balls in the morning.
Fu Chuan kneads the dough, Xie Qinghe mixes the stuffing.Two pots were cooked, one pot of bacon glutinous rice balls and one pot of fresh meat glutinous rice balls.
During the meal, Xie Qinghe ate two balls of fresh meat glutinous rice balls, Fu Chuan came over and offered him a ball of bacon glutinous rice balls.
Xie Qinghe didn't like it, he didn't hate it, he politely said yes, Fu Chuan suddenly became energetic, in order to let the senior brother enjoy his favorite as much as possible, Fu Chuan gave up his bacon glutinous rice balls and took them away Fresh meat glutinous rice balls in front of Xie Qinghe.
The two changed bowls impromptu.
Xie Qinghe thought to himself, you don't like the taste of fresh meat very much, and I don't like the smell of bacon, so why bother?
However, seeing his younger brother looking happy, Xie Qinghe broke a ball of bacon glutinous rice balls, scooped it into his mouth with a spoon, and tasted it carefully, um, the taste is not bad.
After breakfast, the two lazily put on their clothes.Fu Chuan came over with hot tea, and asked, "Brother, are you going to be enchanted?"
Xie Qinghe shook his head and said, "Take a rest for two more days. There is no need to rush this matter. It will not be too late to go after you have recovered."
Fu Chuan sat cross-legged in front of him, poured him a cup of tea, and said, "I didn't want to become a demon in the past, but I thought it was too difficult to die every time. Since the senior brother promised to take me to live in isolation, I will not get involved with the world's sophistication." , I just thought it was a change of place to practice with senior brother, and I can go there anytime."
Xie Qinghe smiled and said: "I usually spend too little time with you, so let's rest for a few days and spend more time with you."
Fu Chuan never expected that he would have such an arrangement, he was flattered for a moment, and there was unspeakable joy: "Huh?"
"Do you have any plans for these few days?" Xie Qinghe asked.
Fu Chuan Xinhuan was in a dazed state, he laughed and said: "I listen to the elder brother's orders. Whatever the elder brother wants to do with me, I will do. I have to give way to the elder brother in everything." Holding the small teacup in both hands, fingertips curled up, "Actually, as long as I'm with senior brother, and senior brother sits on the couch to read and write, I'll stand by and serve you with tea, and I'm also very happy."
"Speaking of which, I don't care enough about you, and I don't know what you usually like to play, or... I don't dare to let the senior brother know that you are fond of fun? Every day, apart from patrolling the outer door and handling general affairs, I just cook and make tea when I come back. , do your homework and practice." Xie Qinghe touched his face, "Pretend to be good every day?"
"It's not pretending." Fu Chuan immediately retorted, thought for a while, and said, "Actually, I didn't like to do trivial labor before. After practicing for a long time, I would feel very depressed. Since I lived with the senior brother After that, I was very happy every day, no matter what I did, I found it very fun. When I was practicing guns outside, I remembered that my senior brother would stare at me by the window, even if he only glanced at me occasionally, I felt very happy."
When Fu Chuan was doing static exercises, Xie Qinghe would be by his side to protect the Dharma.The so-called Taoist couples guard each other above the practice, and the relationship is very close.
Therefore, Fu Chuan especially likes to do homework, and especially likes to do morning and evening classes with Xie Qinghe.
Xie Qinghe didn't practice with him except for body training.
Xie Qinghe's body forging kung fu has been accomplished as early as 20 years ago. Over the years, he has suppressed all demons in his body, and several breakthroughs in cultivation have been trapped under the bottleneck of his physical body. Therefore, he no longer does body forging kung fu, and only uses internal nourishment and external It is also enough to maintain the peak state of the physical body.
When Fu Chuan was practicing spear skills, Xie Qinghe never left the field to compete, but just sat by the window and watched.
"From today, let's practice guns with you." Xie Qinghe said.
Fu Chuan jumped up excitedly: "Now?!"
Xie Qinghe didn't finish his cup of tea, but put down the teacup cooperatively, got up and put on his socks: "Now."
Fu Chuan usually does not use the Muhe Spear when exercising, but mostly uses a bamboo spear without a tip, or with bare hands.Xie Qinghe asked him to fetch the Muhe Spear, while he went into the room and took off his toga, put on his practice clothes and leather boots, and came out with a bamboo sword.
Fu Chuan lowered his gun with one hand, looked up and saw Xie Qinghe's vigorous and unrestrained physique, fainted for a moment, and couldn't help pulling Xie Qinghe's belt.
"Little pervert." Xie Qinghe slapped the back of Fu Chuan's dishonest hand.
Seeing Fu Chuan's embarrassing expression, Xie Qinghe was quite reluctant to part with him, and compensatingly hugged him into his arms, bowed his head and kissed him.
Taking advantage of the situation, Fu Chuan hugged his waist tightly tied by the belt: "Eldest senior brother, this dress has never been worn before."
The boxed clothes have been in the house for 20 years, Xie Qinghe put on the old clothes, there is nothing wrong with it.He pointed at the tip of Fu Chuan's spear with his bamboo sword, and said: "Today, the tip of the spear touched the clothes of the elder brother, I'll give you a sweet treat."
Fu Chuan immediately asked: "What sweetness?"
"What kind of sweet do you want?" Xie Qinghe asked.
"If I want it myself, then what surprises are there? I'm only happy if the elder brother gave it to me." Fu said.
Xie Qinghe thought it made sense, and said, "Then don't ask at this time."
Fu Chuan laughed and said, "Brother, haven't you figured it out yet? Let's coax me with flower heads first."
Xie Qinghe struck lightly with the bamboo sword, and the Muhe spear held by Fu Chuan flew two feet away, almost missing it.After such a dismount, Xie Qinghe said: "If I think of something sweet for you, you can get it today. If I don't think of it, you probably won't be able to enjoy it either."
In other words, Xie Qinghe believed that it was impossible for Fu Chuan to touch his clothes with the tip of the gun.Unless he releases water.
Fu Chuan said dissatisfiedly: "I am not inferior to Zhenyuan, and I may not be bad in terms of physical skills."
Of course, Xie Qinghe didn't think that the junior brother's physical skills were bad.But, if compared with him...
Xie Qinghe smiled slightly: "Come and try."
According to the established practice of the disciples' sparring, Xie Qinghe used three tricks of feinting, while Fu Chuan used three tricks of courteousness.
Just after the three moves, Fu Chuan flew up with a shot, like a silver dragon flying, and filled the sky with cold light.Xie Qinghe stood motionless on the spot, the bamboo sword jingled and tapped lightly in the phantom, and when Fu Chuan made another move, he felt that no matter what moves he made, all the moves were useless.
Just when Fu Chuan was gritting his teeth and trying to get out of the rhythm of the elder brother, he suddenly felt a particularly comfortable feeling.
This made Fu Chuan break out in a cold sweat.
When encountering a seasoned and brutal opponent, being taken away from the initiative, it is normal to feel uncomfortable when making a move.
When one sees the opponent's weaknesses and flaws and breaks the opponent's aura, this discomfort can be straightened out, and at the same time, control can be regained to dominate the battle.
The most frightening thing is the feeling now, playing very comfortably!
Obviously the control is in the hands of the other party, but I feel very comfortable, that is, I am completely controlled.
——However you want to attack, the opponent can give you perfect moves, making you feel that you are extremely smooth.This kind of reverse feeding is too scary.In fact, it is the method used by the elders of the master to guide the younger generation, also known as "feeding tricks".
Completely slapped.
In this case, as long as Xie Qinghe doesn't let the water go, Fu Chuan really can't touch his clothes.
However, Fu Chuan was fed too frankly and heartily. He jingled the bamboo sword thousands of times with a stick. Frequency, completed today's practice.
When closing the move, Fu Chuan was sweating like rain, shaking his head constantly: "I can't beat... I can't beat it, I am convinced. Senior brother, you... sit and read every day, and practicing swords by the river is also a sacrifice to the sword spirit. I haven't seen you training Body...why is it stronger than it was six years ago..."
When Xie Qinghe lifted the bamboo sword, the tip of Mu He's spear hooked to him wiped the hem of his clothes.
Fu Chuan laughed until his eyes were bent: "Elder brother!"
Xie Qinghe caught the junior brother who jumped on him, flew the bamboo sword back to the railing and erected it, freed his hands to support the warm and sweaty body of the junior brother, and said with a smile: "Six years ago I was not in good health, so naturally it is not as good as it is now. Junior brother has made a lot of progress over the years, I think he has worked hard."
Fu Chuan let him carry him for two steps, then turned over and jumped off the ground, and put his arms around his arm: "It's very beneficial to compete with the big brother."
Fu Chuan didn't mean to be flattering either.At his level, it is very difficult to find a suitable opponent.The slow progress of practicing alone is mostly to maintain physical fitness and skills so as not to regress. It is basically impossible to step forward.
Xie Qinghe's strength in physical skills has reached the point where Fu Chuan can't imagine it.
After a fight, Fu Chuan couldn't see the depth of Xie Qinghe's physical skills at all.The so-called unfathomable means that no matter how many layers of skill Fu Chuan uses, Xie Qinghe can firmly maintain a level slightly higher than him, allowing him to always use his best, only a hair's breadth away.
This is the most powerful and perfect feeding.
Fu Chuan also has an urgent desire to improve and become stronger, so he hugged Xie Qinghe flatteringly and said that he benefited a lot.
The implication is, I like it very much. Can such a good thing come a few more times?
Xie Qinghe explained: "I didn't practice with you before, because you didn't have enough cultivation. My swordsmanship and spearmanship are all on my own. I have learned a lot from you, and I am worried that it will affect your spearmanship."
Fu Chuan expressed his understanding: "I understand."
"Now your spear skills have taken shape, and you have your own ideas." Xie Qinghe smiled and said, "I will accompany you from now on."
Fu Chuan hugged him excitedly: "Thank you, big brother!"
After the matter was settled, Fu Chuan touched Xie Qinghe's clothes again: "Then... what about the sweetness?"
Xie Qinghe picked him up, put him on the railing, and said with a low smile, "Do you like this dress?"
Of course I like it very much.Fu Chuan had never seen a big senior brother wearing exercise uniforms, this waist and sleeves look really attractive.At the first glance just now, Fu Chuan took Xie Qinghe's clothes and fantasized a hundred times.
Thinking about the senior brother's half-faded appearance in his exercise clothes... Fu Chuan felt that if he gave this kind of sweetness, it would be really sweet.
The little pervert Fu Chuan felt shy for a moment, and then cast a wistful glance at the elder brother.
It was this glance that allowed him to see clearly the demeanor of the elder brother, and he suddenly realized that the elder brother was different from himself!
After such a fight with all his strength, he was so tired that he was out of breath and covered in sweat. Where's the elder brother?Not to mention sweating, he didn't even beat his breath.Fu Chuan was so panicked that he quickly covered Xie Qinghe's hand to untie his clothes, and said with difficulty: "I'm covered in sweat..."
Xie Qinghe leaned close to his neck and sniffed: "Did junior brother grow up popular?"
As soon as the words fell, Fu Chuan's belt was torn off.
……
Xie Qinghe said that he wanted to play with Fu Chuan, so he fulfilled his promise very seriously.
Not only did he suspend the plan to become a demon, but he also shortened the time for the homework of correcting the Zhibaodong classics with annotations, and only did one hour a day.At other times, he just accompanied Fu Chuan.Accompany Fu Chuan to practice guns, travel around the mountains with Fu Chuan, and hold hands and chat on the bank of the cold river.
Fu Chuan is easy to satisfy.No matter what Xie Qinghe did with him, he was very happy, hugging Xie Qinghe every day and saying he liked it.
Half a month passed like this, Fu Chuan leaned on Xie Qinghe's lap and said, "I already understand what Eldest Brother wants. But Eldest Brother can't play with me forever, and he has his own things to do."
Xie Qinghe shook his head and said: "What I need to do now is to become a demon, and to be with you. Other than that, I can let go."
He lowered his head and held Fu Chuan's face, also very proud: "You are willing to accompany me to become a demon, what else am I not satisfied with?"
Fu Chuan obediently raised his head and kissed him, then said embarrassedly: "But, senior brother, you don't have to do anything, I... still go to the outer gate." The senior brother has been hanging around for half a month, if he doesn't go to work, the outer door will be turned upside down.
Xie Qinghe realized this, couldn't help but smiled, and said, "I thought you didn't bother to go to the outer door to watch things."
Fu Chuan stuck out his tongue.
Xie Qinghe can do nothing because he has delegated all his powers to Fu Chuan.If Fu Chuan also left the pick and just paddled, not to mention anything else, Shangguan Shiyi would be the first to jump out - one head and one head disciple, if you two don't work, let me do it? !
"Just do what you have to do. If you are idle and bored, the elder brother will accompany you." Xie Qinghe said softly.
Fu Chuan hummed, and then said: "I understand what Elder Brother means. Elder Brother wants to tell me that I am very important. Elder Brother can put down everything and stay with me. I am not an insignificant person... But I I don't like it very much. Eldest brother obviously doesn't like it either."
"Huh?" Xie Qinghe was a little surprised, "Why did you say that? With you, I am happy every moment."
"Elder brother taught me earlier, don't be greedy and addicted, daily practice homework is very important. Now I just play with me, disrupting my daily life, these days I will treat me as the elder brother to coax me to feel sorry for me , It's been a long time, and I've delayed senior brother's cultivation." Fu Chuan put his feet on the edge of the couch, stepping back and forth unsteadily.
"It's just changing the time to read the classics. When I was young, I didn't sit on the couch and read every day. Besides, have you and I missed our homework these days? I didn't do my morning class. , or did you not do the evening class? ——Except for the night when you pestered me and insisted that I tell you the story of the enchanted world?" Xie Qinghe said.
Speaking of that night, Fu Chuan was even more embarrassed: "Are you still looking for old debts? You are so brooding."
The more Xie Qinghe looked at him, the more he felt cute. He covered his eyes with his palms, and then moved away gently.
"I don't know either..." Fu Chuan leaned on Xie Qinghe's lap, his mood was very relaxed, and his words were aimless, "Eldest senior brother didn't accompany me before, we all did our own things. Stay with me... It's not that I don't like the company of the senior brother, but I'm worried that after a long time, the senior brother will find it boring to stay together all the time... How can I not like the company of the senior brother?"
"The feeling of liking is the same." Xie Qinghe leaned closer to his cheek, "How much you like me, how much I like my company, I just like you, how I like to be with you. Thinking about it this way, don't you feel at ease, Don't you feel anxious anymore?"
Fu Chuan looked at his handsome face close at hand, and after a while he said softly, "If I'm half as good as senior brother, I won't be flustered."
Xie Qinghe frowned slightly.
He has tried his best to downplay his influence in Fu Chuan's growth, and he never expected that this would affect Fu Chuan's self-confidence.
Fu Chuan has always admired him.Suddenly saying this sentence, I'm afraid it's the aftermath of the recent tricks.
The existence of some people is doomed to look up to a high mountain. Looking at the high mountain from a distance, you can still praise its majesty. If you really stand at the foot of the mountain and look up day and night, the pressure and shadow brought by this high mountain will be too great.
Unless he breaks up with Xie Qinghe and stands further away, otherwise, this is a deadlock, and Fu Chuan can only face it.
Before Xie Qinghe could speak, Fu Chuan had already stretched out his arms and hugged him: "I know. If I am not worthy of Senior Brother, no one in the world is worthy. Senior Senior Brother, I will not let you down."
Xie Qinghe patted his head: "Well. From the time we met to now, I have never been disappointed. You are fine."
■
Dragon City, Weiyang Palace.
Two palace eunuchs in gray clothes quietly entered the door, and quietly lit all the candles in the hall.
It was already evening, and the chief eunuch in the Queen's Palace poked his head to look at the front of the hall, while the chief officer guarding the door shook his head quietly.
Since the emperor accidentally broke his spine six years ago, the emperor has never been to the harem again.After such a long time, all the favorite concubines have stopped cooking, that is to say, the empress is still not giving up. Every [-]th day of the Lunar New Year, she will send the chief eunuch to the Tai Chi Hall to have a look.
According to the rules of the harem, the first and fifteenth day of every month is the queen's day, and the emperor must go to the queen's palace.
Even if the emperor is injured and ill, and no longer visits the harem, he will send some gifts to the empress on the first and fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year.
Thanks to the reward twice a month, the empress has maintained the dignity of the harem, firmly controlled the power of the harem, and prevented chaos in the harem. However, Jing's harem is very peaceful.
After a while, the emperor's voice sounded in the hall, and the eunuch hurried in to listen to the order.
When the chief eunuch came out, the prepared rewards were sent to Changqiu Palace along with the emperor's oral order.
The chief eunuch in the queen's palace sighed, shook his head, and ran back.
The emperor did not come to the harem, so the harem naturally had complaints.
It's just that the emperor broke his spine and couldn't stand up at all. What's the use of complaining in the harem?
The empress and several concubines who had heirs maintained the dignity of the emperor all the time, and they were relentless in suppressing the concubines who had no children and favored them.After so many years, the queen's status is as stable as Mount Tai, and she is the last person who doesn't want the emperor to suddenly run into the harem.
"Your Majesty, I heard that not long after the key was released to the palace gate, the third master handed over a sign to see you, His Majesty ordered the palace door to be opened, and the third master was invited to enter the palace to discuss in detail." The eldest maid approached the queen's ear and whispered.
The queen covered her face with pearl powder and said, "Got it."
"It's so late, and I don't know how the third master wants to honor His Majesty." The eldest palace maid said with a hint of sourness in her tone.
"It's your turn to think about how he honors His Majesty?" The queen was not angry either.
The empress had thought of dedicating this court lady to the emperor's favor at the beginning, but it was too late to implement the plan, and the emperor had an accident first.The Grand Palace Maid still wanted to go to the emperor's side to serve the sick. After so many years, she still did not forget her infatuation.
There is such a past, the queen is quite tolerant to her: "Don't talk about it in the future. Go down."
From the time the emperor ascended the throne, there were young and beautiful courtiers around him. The Second Master Shu left and the Third Master Li came.
The queen never said a word.The so-called favored officials can neither give birth to princes nor enter the harem.When the palace was full of favorite concubines, the empress kept the second master to share the favor with the harem favorite concubine. Now the emperor doesn't even enter the harem, so why did she provoke the third master?Do you think your good days are too long?
the other side.
Li Nanfeng took Fu Chuan's handwritten letter and hurried into the hall.
The palace supervisor helped him take off Yuxue's cloak, and when he turned around, he saw the emperor resting his lower lip with one hand, coughing lightly to relieve the discomfort in his lungs, still bowing his head at his desk, reviewing the mountain of memorials.
"Your Majesty has worked hard." Li Nanfeng spoke with a trace of anger.
Seeing that the situation was not good, several palace supervisors hurriedly retreated.
The emperor raised his head, his brows were clear and kind, and there was a hint of gentleness, and he asked, "Who made you angry again?"
Li Nanfeng stepped forward angrily, and threw the letter on the imperial case.
The envelope flew out along the imperial case and fell to the ground.The emperor had trouble with his legs and feet, so he sat on the throne and ticked off the letter, but he couldn't tick the letter.
Seeing the emperor's difficult movements, Li Nanfeng immediately realized that he had gone too far. He hurried forward to pick up the letter, knelt down beside the emperor, and whispered, "Second senior brother."
"It's okay." The emperor opened the envelope and smiled when he saw Fu Chuan's handwriting, "The handwriting has improved, I learned it from the senior brother."
When he read the letter, Li Nanfeng couldn't help cursing: "He was with the senior brother, so he didn't learn a single thing from the senior brother! After moving the birdmen from Miaojiang to the north, they sent people to come every day." Spread the word, control this, control that, from head to toe, I wish I could send an 'imperial envoy' to stand in front of me, and tell me what to do! —— Well, he is the head disciple, how dare I, an exiled sinner, not listen to what he says? ?”
"Now that something is wrong, I asked someone to ask him for instructions, but he will reprimand you!" Li Nanfeng slapped the table angrily.
The emperor read the whole letter and said, "What about the letter he wrote to you first?"
Li Nanfeng said angrily: "I've already had a fever. Keep the eggs!"
The emperor looked down at the letter and said, "I remember the first letter he wrote to you to beg for mercy. The wording was also very polite and respectful, and it didn't have the prestige of a master disciple."
"At that time, he wrote a private letter, so he didn't dare to take Joe." Li Nanfeng said.
"This letter... is also very polite. If you are speaking as the head disciple." The emperor read the letter again, "I have two ideas now, listen to it, and which one you think is reasonable."
Li Nanfeng said he was all ears.
"These two letters were written by my junior brother. The letter I usually ask you about the resettlement of the Miao people in the Northland may be written by an outside sect, and my junior brother has not read it." The emperor said.
Li Nanfeng directly denied the emperor's conjecture, and said with a sneer, "I've been a deacon in the Outer Sect for more than ten years. Besides him, who in the Outer Sect would dare to write to me in the tone of a dead father? Even if it wasn't his own handwriting, It was also his instruction!"
The emperor is more inclined to this.
After being strongly denied by Li Nanfeng, the emperor said the latter speculation: "Usually the letters are written by the juniors, but the first two letters with a polite attitude may be... the seniors knew about it, so they wrote it. Be polite?"
Li Nanfeng thought for a while, and said: "If he wants to intervene in the matter of the exiles in Gubei, he will naturally ask the elder brother for instructions. The elder brother knows that he wrote a letter to beg me, so he writes very politely."
"As for this letter..."
"I understand!" Li Nanfeng suddenly gloated.
"I'm afraid it wasn't because I suddenly sent someone to Hanshan to expose the matter that he kept interrupting the remote control of Miao Mingubei. The elder brother reprimanded him, so he wrote such a letter. It seems that I deliberately seduced him into the world. It's—he wants to hide the truth from the elder brother and pass the responsibility to me?"
The emperor still has doubts about this: "The junior brother has been with the senior brother all these years, so it should...not be like this."
A good kid, he didn't grow crooked when he was with the master, but he grew crooked when he was with the elder brother?
"It's not easy to find out what's going on? I'll write an apology form right away and send it to Elder Brother."
Li Nanfeng's apology form was an apology in name, but it was actually a complaint.Obviously, it is necessary to detail how Fu Chuan arranged for the Miao people in this year.
"If the senior brother already knew about it, it would be my ignorance as a junior. After being reprimanded by the head disciple, I would immediately express my apology."
"If the senior brother doesn't know..." Li Nanfeng chuckled, "The family law of the senior brother is not just for fun."
The emperor disapproved of his idea very much, shook his head and said: "How old are you, do you have to be angry with children? Regardless of the facts, he wrote this letter with his own hand, just bowing his head and begging for peace. Thinking about it, he won't do it in the future." Then interrupt the affairs of the North Land. Don’t make troubles, write a letter of apology to the master—don’t talk about the past, just bow your head and confess—and hand it to the outer gate, there is no need to write a letter to the real master.”
"Second senior brother, you have to think clearly. If the senior brother doesn't know that he has frequently interrupted the affairs of the Northland in the past six months, I sent someone to the mountain to ask him how to deal with the civil unrest in the Northland. The letter has come, if I don't explain it, what will Senior Brother think?" Li Nanfeng asked.
The emperor couldn't help laughing: "What else can he think? With such a distance, can he still travel thousands of miles to reprimand me?"
Seeing him laughing awkwardly, Li Nanfeng felt very sad.
"Let's do this. If you feel wronged," the emperor patted Li Nanfeng on the shoulder, "it's okay. I'll write the apology form, and you can seal it and send it." The cut jade leaf paper, after changing a ink pen, is about to write.
Li Nanfeng held down the pen in his hand, stalemate for a moment, and said, "I'll write. You don't need it."
Seeing the emperor coughing uncontrollably, Li Nanfeng's heart ached and he spoke even more irritably: "We stay up here every day to watch the night, read the booklets, and think of ways. Li coughed worse. The whole court is busy, and I have to serve that ignorant little bastard! —— Serve as long as you serve, and he will have to blame him for returning it! Is there such a reason?!"
"Why you and I are here, you know why, so don't complain." The emperor swallowed a sip of hot tea, "Jizhou came to report in the afternoon, saying that the snowstorm destroyed many houses and tens of thousands of people were homeless. The snow melts late over there, and people will freeze to death if they stay here, so I don’t worry about letting others go, the household department is already counting supplies, you take people to the disaster relief yourself, and build a warm house as soon as possible..."
Hearing this, Li Nanfeng didn't bother to complain about the sect's affairs, so he nodded repeatedly.
After talking about the snow disaster in Jizhou, the emperor changed several topics one after another. The two talked until late at night before Li Nanfeng hurriedly left the palace.
Yun Chao, dressed as a palace supervisor, stepped forward naturally, lit the candlestick on the emperor's table with a lighted candle, put the half-burned candle aside, and cut off the long wick with scissors.After doing all this, he also stepped forward to change the emperor for a cup of hot tea suitable for drinking.
——Yun Chao has a special background, not an ordinary person, nor an ordinary monk, and the traces of his breath are very subtle.
Not only did the emperor fail to notice his abnormality, but Li Nanfeng sat in the hall for almost two hours without noticing his existence.
After Li Nanfeng left, the emperor looked down at the scriptures, until he saw the fourth watch.
The Document Supervision Committee archived all the memorials before dawn, and then issued them to the cabinet for implementation as soon as possible.
The courtiers all praised the emperor for his diligence.All the memorials sent to the emperor's case are not overnight.Delivered today, shipped tomorrow.Such an efficient emperor has never been seen in hundreds of years.
It wasn't until dawn that the emperor put down the vermilion pen, stretched himself, and picked up the letter brought by Li Nanfeng.
He looked down at the letter for a long time and sighed.
"It's fine if you come to reprimand me," said the emperor.
Yun Chao curled his lips, thinking beautifully.
■
Li Nanfeng's apology form was still on the way, Yun Chao went back to Hanshan first, and wandered around the outer gates.
Yun Chao's position in Hanshan is very detached, he had no place to live some time ago, so he hung out with Chen Yiwei and Shi Qin every day in the outer gate, and got very familiar with the deacons and elites below.
Moreover, everyone knows that he does not take an unusual path up and down the mountain, and it is common for him to appear and disappear.
Even if he suddenly flew out from behind a certain room, no one suspected what he was doing sneakily in the room.Probably took a shortcut?This is a close minister of the sect leader who dared to go straight up and down the stargazing platform. He used to deliver letters to the old sect leader on behalf of the sect leader, and even flew up to the Feixian Caolu.
Yun Chao went around to Wenshuliao, but found nothing.
Correspondence outside the Hanjiang Sword Party must be archived.Only the private letters of the disciples under the sect, the sect does not archive and will not interfere with the recording.
Yun Chao didn't believe that Fu Chuan would write a private letter to harass Li Nanfeng, but everything must be based on evidence.
In order to prove Fu Chuan's innocence, before leaving Longcheng, Yun Chao went around Li Nanfeng's residence and stole a letter from the outer door to Li Nanfeng, in which he ordered Li Nanfeng how to resettle the Miao people in the Northland.
Li Nanfeng told the emperor that the tone of the letter was that his father was dead. Yun Chao took a look and thought that the person who wrote the letter might have both his parents dead.
——That mouth is called a stinky mouth.
So, who wrote this letter that has never been archived in the outer sect, and the source is definitely tricky?
Unable to find out the ins and outs, Yun Chao has no way to explain to the master, if he keeps walking around the outer door, he is afraid of bewildering the snake.
When Yun Chao was thinking about what to do, Chen Yiwei happened to be patrolling the outer gate, and he casually approved a note for Shanxia Gate, and then asked Hu Lei, who was on duty at the clerical office, to send it: "Uncle Li is not at home recently, please let the following Be careful with your purchases, senior brother will be cutting new clothes this season..."
When Hu Lei was going to sign the order, Yun Chao took a look and was very surprised.
observatory.
"The handwriting on this letter is exactly the same as that of Hu Lei, an elite disciple from the outer sect." Yun Chao said.
"However, in my humble opinion, even if Hu Lei wanted to forge this letter, why would he write it in his own font? I happened to go to the outer door, and Chen Yiwei suddenly appeared, and the servant caught Hu Lei. Too coincidental."
Seeing Xie Qinghe stretch out his hand, Yun Chao handed over the letter in his hand and another piece of paper.
Hu Lei was on duty at Wenshuliao, Yun Chao could easily find his handwriting from Wenshuliao, and put it together with the letter.
Xie Qinghe is a master of calligraphy, and he is also very good at recognizing handwriting. He can tell at a glance that Hu Lei has been framed: "It's not him." Before Yun Chao mentioned Chen Yiwei again, he put aside Chen Yiwei's suspicion, "It's not Blindly."
Yun Chao could hear the certainty in his tone, and asked, "Master already knows who it is?"
Xie Qinghe said a name.
Yun Chao frowned suddenly: "He?!"
"It's good that you know it in your heart. This matter is over." Xie Qinghe raised his hand, and the letter was immediately swallowed by the flames, and soon burned to ashes and drifted away from the cliff. He told Yun Chao again, "Don't tell me yet Junior brother."
The quilt was extremely warm, against the warm and smooth chest of the senior brother, Fu Chuan also wanted to stay in bed, so he couldn't help but smiled.Xie Qinghe didn't even open his eyes, he groped and kissed him on the back of his neck, and said, "It's still early."
"It's getting late. I'll make glutinous rice balls for senior brother." Fu Chuan turned over and approached him, kissing his face.
Xie Qinghe held the back of his neck and kissed him: "Don't bother."
It was quite late last night, Fu Chuan had been asleep for a long time, Xie Qinghe leaned against the head of the bed and sat alone for a while, thinking about his relationship with Fu Chuan and the way they get along. Hold my junior brother and sleep for a while longer.
Unexpectedly, he didn't even open his eyelids, he put his arms around Fu Chuan and kissed randomly, Fu Chuan's face was flushed, and he was distracted again.
——Staying so close to the elder brother, and being hugged and kissed, can this be resisted?
Fu Chuan didn't want to get up anymore, he inserted one hand into Xie Qinghe's back along the bedding, closed his arms, pulled Xie Qinghe into his arms, buried his head on Xie Qinghe's chest, exhaled for a while, rubbed the tip of his nose for a while, and then Deliberately bent his knees to rub Xie Qinghe.
Xie Qinghe couldn't sleep, he couldn't help smiling, and said: "Little brother Longma spirit."
"Not as good as senior brother." Fu Chuan had already noticed the response from senior senior brother, his cheeks were flushed, and he slowly got up.
The two of them were doing their routine on the couch, sweating all over, and even woke up after dozing off.
I ate glutinous rice balls in the morning.
Fu Chuan kneads the dough, Xie Qinghe mixes the stuffing.Two pots were cooked, one pot of bacon glutinous rice balls and one pot of fresh meat glutinous rice balls.
During the meal, Xie Qinghe ate two balls of fresh meat glutinous rice balls, Fu Chuan came over and offered him a ball of bacon glutinous rice balls.
Xie Qinghe didn't like it, he didn't hate it, he politely said yes, Fu Chuan suddenly became energetic, in order to let the senior brother enjoy his favorite as much as possible, Fu Chuan gave up his bacon glutinous rice balls and took them away Fresh meat glutinous rice balls in front of Xie Qinghe.
The two changed bowls impromptu.
Xie Qinghe thought to himself, you don't like the taste of fresh meat very much, and I don't like the smell of bacon, so why bother?
However, seeing his younger brother looking happy, Xie Qinghe broke a ball of bacon glutinous rice balls, scooped it into his mouth with a spoon, and tasted it carefully, um, the taste is not bad.
After breakfast, the two lazily put on their clothes.Fu Chuan came over with hot tea, and asked, "Brother, are you going to be enchanted?"
Xie Qinghe shook his head and said, "Take a rest for two more days. There is no need to rush this matter. It will not be too late to go after you have recovered."
Fu Chuan sat cross-legged in front of him, poured him a cup of tea, and said, "I didn't want to become a demon in the past, but I thought it was too difficult to die every time. Since the senior brother promised to take me to live in isolation, I will not get involved with the world's sophistication." , I just thought it was a change of place to practice with senior brother, and I can go there anytime."
Xie Qinghe smiled and said: "I usually spend too little time with you, so let's rest for a few days and spend more time with you."
Fu Chuan never expected that he would have such an arrangement, he was flattered for a moment, and there was unspeakable joy: "Huh?"
"Do you have any plans for these few days?" Xie Qinghe asked.
Fu Chuan Xinhuan was in a dazed state, he laughed and said: "I listen to the elder brother's orders. Whatever the elder brother wants to do with me, I will do. I have to give way to the elder brother in everything." Holding the small teacup in both hands, fingertips curled up, "Actually, as long as I'm with senior brother, and senior brother sits on the couch to read and write, I'll stand by and serve you with tea, and I'm also very happy."
"Speaking of which, I don't care enough about you, and I don't know what you usually like to play, or... I don't dare to let the senior brother know that you are fond of fun? Every day, apart from patrolling the outer door and handling general affairs, I just cook and make tea when I come back. , do your homework and practice." Xie Qinghe touched his face, "Pretend to be good every day?"
"It's not pretending." Fu Chuan immediately retorted, thought for a while, and said, "Actually, I didn't like to do trivial labor before. After practicing for a long time, I would feel very depressed. Since I lived with the senior brother After that, I was very happy every day, no matter what I did, I found it very fun. When I was practicing guns outside, I remembered that my senior brother would stare at me by the window, even if he only glanced at me occasionally, I felt very happy."
When Fu Chuan was doing static exercises, Xie Qinghe would be by his side to protect the Dharma.The so-called Taoist couples guard each other above the practice, and the relationship is very close.
Therefore, Fu Chuan especially likes to do homework, and especially likes to do morning and evening classes with Xie Qinghe.
Xie Qinghe didn't practice with him except for body training.
Xie Qinghe's body forging kung fu has been accomplished as early as 20 years ago. Over the years, he has suppressed all demons in his body, and several breakthroughs in cultivation have been trapped under the bottleneck of his physical body. Therefore, he no longer does body forging kung fu, and only uses internal nourishment and external It is also enough to maintain the peak state of the physical body.
When Fu Chuan was practicing spear skills, Xie Qinghe never left the field to compete, but just sat by the window and watched.
"From today, let's practice guns with you." Xie Qinghe said.
Fu Chuan jumped up excitedly: "Now?!"
Xie Qinghe didn't finish his cup of tea, but put down the teacup cooperatively, got up and put on his socks: "Now."
Fu Chuan usually does not use the Muhe Spear when exercising, but mostly uses a bamboo spear without a tip, or with bare hands.Xie Qinghe asked him to fetch the Muhe Spear, while he went into the room and took off his toga, put on his practice clothes and leather boots, and came out with a bamboo sword.
Fu Chuan lowered his gun with one hand, looked up and saw Xie Qinghe's vigorous and unrestrained physique, fainted for a moment, and couldn't help pulling Xie Qinghe's belt.
"Little pervert." Xie Qinghe slapped the back of Fu Chuan's dishonest hand.
Seeing Fu Chuan's embarrassing expression, Xie Qinghe was quite reluctant to part with him, and compensatingly hugged him into his arms, bowed his head and kissed him.
Taking advantage of the situation, Fu Chuan hugged his waist tightly tied by the belt: "Eldest senior brother, this dress has never been worn before."
The boxed clothes have been in the house for 20 years, Xie Qinghe put on the old clothes, there is nothing wrong with it.He pointed at the tip of Fu Chuan's spear with his bamboo sword, and said: "Today, the tip of the spear touched the clothes of the elder brother, I'll give you a sweet treat."
Fu Chuan immediately asked: "What sweetness?"
"What kind of sweet do you want?" Xie Qinghe asked.
"If I want it myself, then what surprises are there? I'm only happy if the elder brother gave it to me." Fu said.
Xie Qinghe thought it made sense, and said, "Then don't ask at this time."
Fu Chuan laughed and said, "Brother, haven't you figured it out yet? Let's coax me with flower heads first."
Xie Qinghe struck lightly with the bamboo sword, and the Muhe spear held by Fu Chuan flew two feet away, almost missing it.After such a dismount, Xie Qinghe said: "If I think of something sweet for you, you can get it today. If I don't think of it, you probably won't be able to enjoy it either."
In other words, Xie Qinghe believed that it was impossible for Fu Chuan to touch his clothes with the tip of the gun.Unless he releases water.
Fu Chuan said dissatisfiedly: "I am not inferior to Zhenyuan, and I may not be bad in terms of physical skills."
Of course, Xie Qinghe didn't think that the junior brother's physical skills were bad.But, if compared with him...
Xie Qinghe smiled slightly: "Come and try."
According to the established practice of the disciples' sparring, Xie Qinghe used three tricks of feinting, while Fu Chuan used three tricks of courteousness.
Just after the three moves, Fu Chuan flew up with a shot, like a silver dragon flying, and filled the sky with cold light.Xie Qinghe stood motionless on the spot, the bamboo sword jingled and tapped lightly in the phantom, and when Fu Chuan made another move, he felt that no matter what moves he made, all the moves were useless.
Just when Fu Chuan was gritting his teeth and trying to get out of the rhythm of the elder brother, he suddenly felt a particularly comfortable feeling.
This made Fu Chuan break out in a cold sweat.
When encountering a seasoned and brutal opponent, being taken away from the initiative, it is normal to feel uncomfortable when making a move.
When one sees the opponent's weaknesses and flaws and breaks the opponent's aura, this discomfort can be straightened out, and at the same time, control can be regained to dominate the battle.
The most frightening thing is the feeling now, playing very comfortably!
Obviously the control is in the hands of the other party, but I feel very comfortable, that is, I am completely controlled.
——However you want to attack, the opponent can give you perfect moves, making you feel that you are extremely smooth.This kind of reverse feeding is too scary.In fact, it is the method used by the elders of the master to guide the younger generation, also known as "feeding tricks".
Completely slapped.
In this case, as long as Xie Qinghe doesn't let the water go, Fu Chuan really can't touch his clothes.
However, Fu Chuan was fed too frankly and heartily. He jingled the bamboo sword thousands of times with a stick. Frequency, completed today's practice.
When closing the move, Fu Chuan was sweating like rain, shaking his head constantly: "I can't beat... I can't beat it, I am convinced. Senior brother, you... sit and read every day, and practicing swords by the river is also a sacrifice to the sword spirit. I haven't seen you training Body...why is it stronger than it was six years ago..."
When Xie Qinghe lifted the bamboo sword, the tip of Mu He's spear hooked to him wiped the hem of his clothes.
Fu Chuan laughed until his eyes were bent: "Elder brother!"
Xie Qinghe caught the junior brother who jumped on him, flew the bamboo sword back to the railing and erected it, freed his hands to support the warm and sweaty body of the junior brother, and said with a smile: "Six years ago I was not in good health, so naturally it is not as good as it is now. Junior brother has made a lot of progress over the years, I think he has worked hard."
Fu Chuan let him carry him for two steps, then turned over and jumped off the ground, and put his arms around his arm: "It's very beneficial to compete with the big brother."
Fu Chuan didn't mean to be flattering either.At his level, it is very difficult to find a suitable opponent.The slow progress of practicing alone is mostly to maintain physical fitness and skills so as not to regress. It is basically impossible to step forward.
Xie Qinghe's strength in physical skills has reached the point where Fu Chuan can't imagine it.
After a fight, Fu Chuan couldn't see the depth of Xie Qinghe's physical skills at all.The so-called unfathomable means that no matter how many layers of skill Fu Chuan uses, Xie Qinghe can firmly maintain a level slightly higher than him, allowing him to always use his best, only a hair's breadth away.
This is the most powerful and perfect feeding.
Fu Chuan also has an urgent desire to improve and become stronger, so he hugged Xie Qinghe flatteringly and said that he benefited a lot.
The implication is, I like it very much. Can such a good thing come a few more times?
Xie Qinghe explained: "I didn't practice with you before, because you didn't have enough cultivation. My swordsmanship and spearmanship are all on my own. I have learned a lot from you, and I am worried that it will affect your spearmanship."
Fu Chuan expressed his understanding: "I understand."
"Now your spear skills have taken shape, and you have your own ideas." Xie Qinghe smiled and said, "I will accompany you from now on."
Fu Chuan hugged him excitedly: "Thank you, big brother!"
After the matter was settled, Fu Chuan touched Xie Qinghe's clothes again: "Then... what about the sweetness?"
Xie Qinghe picked him up, put him on the railing, and said with a low smile, "Do you like this dress?"
Of course I like it very much.Fu Chuan had never seen a big senior brother wearing exercise uniforms, this waist and sleeves look really attractive.At the first glance just now, Fu Chuan took Xie Qinghe's clothes and fantasized a hundred times.
Thinking about the senior brother's half-faded appearance in his exercise clothes... Fu Chuan felt that if he gave this kind of sweetness, it would be really sweet.
The little pervert Fu Chuan felt shy for a moment, and then cast a wistful glance at the elder brother.
It was this glance that allowed him to see clearly the demeanor of the elder brother, and he suddenly realized that the elder brother was different from himself!
After such a fight with all his strength, he was so tired that he was out of breath and covered in sweat. Where's the elder brother?Not to mention sweating, he didn't even beat his breath.Fu Chuan was so panicked that he quickly covered Xie Qinghe's hand to untie his clothes, and said with difficulty: "I'm covered in sweat..."
Xie Qinghe leaned close to his neck and sniffed: "Did junior brother grow up popular?"
As soon as the words fell, Fu Chuan's belt was torn off.
……
Xie Qinghe said that he wanted to play with Fu Chuan, so he fulfilled his promise very seriously.
Not only did he suspend the plan to become a demon, but he also shortened the time for the homework of correcting the Zhibaodong classics with annotations, and only did one hour a day.At other times, he just accompanied Fu Chuan.Accompany Fu Chuan to practice guns, travel around the mountains with Fu Chuan, and hold hands and chat on the bank of the cold river.
Fu Chuan is easy to satisfy.No matter what Xie Qinghe did with him, he was very happy, hugging Xie Qinghe every day and saying he liked it.
Half a month passed like this, Fu Chuan leaned on Xie Qinghe's lap and said, "I already understand what Eldest Brother wants. But Eldest Brother can't play with me forever, and he has his own things to do."
Xie Qinghe shook his head and said: "What I need to do now is to become a demon, and to be with you. Other than that, I can let go."
He lowered his head and held Fu Chuan's face, also very proud: "You are willing to accompany me to become a demon, what else am I not satisfied with?"
Fu Chuan obediently raised his head and kissed him, then said embarrassedly: "But, senior brother, you don't have to do anything, I... still go to the outer gate." The senior brother has been hanging around for half a month, if he doesn't go to work, the outer door will be turned upside down.
Xie Qinghe realized this, couldn't help but smiled, and said, "I thought you didn't bother to go to the outer door to watch things."
Fu Chuan stuck out his tongue.
Xie Qinghe can do nothing because he has delegated all his powers to Fu Chuan.If Fu Chuan also left the pick and just paddled, not to mention anything else, Shangguan Shiyi would be the first to jump out - one head and one head disciple, if you two don't work, let me do it? !
"Just do what you have to do. If you are idle and bored, the elder brother will accompany you." Xie Qinghe said softly.
Fu Chuan hummed, and then said: "I understand what Elder Brother means. Elder Brother wants to tell me that I am very important. Elder Brother can put down everything and stay with me. I am not an insignificant person... But I I don't like it very much. Eldest brother obviously doesn't like it either."
"Huh?" Xie Qinghe was a little surprised, "Why did you say that? With you, I am happy every moment."
"Elder brother taught me earlier, don't be greedy and addicted, daily practice homework is very important. Now I just play with me, disrupting my daily life, these days I will treat me as the elder brother to coax me to feel sorry for me , It's been a long time, and I've delayed senior brother's cultivation." Fu Chuan put his feet on the edge of the couch, stepping back and forth unsteadily.
"It's just changing the time to read the classics. When I was young, I didn't sit on the couch and read every day. Besides, have you and I missed our homework these days? I didn't do my morning class. , or did you not do the evening class? ——Except for the night when you pestered me and insisted that I tell you the story of the enchanted world?" Xie Qinghe said.
Speaking of that night, Fu Chuan was even more embarrassed: "Are you still looking for old debts? You are so brooding."
The more Xie Qinghe looked at him, the more he felt cute. He covered his eyes with his palms, and then moved away gently.
"I don't know either..." Fu Chuan leaned on Xie Qinghe's lap, his mood was very relaxed, and his words were aimless, "Eldest senior brother didn't accompany me before, we all did our own things. Stay with me... It's not that I don't like the company of the senior brother, but I'm worried that after a long time, the senior brother will find it boring to stay together all the time... How can I not like the company of the senior brother?"
"The feeling of liking is the same." Xie Qinghe leaned closer to his cheek, "How much you like me, how much I like my company, I just like you, how I like to be with you. Thinking about it this way, don't you feel at ease, Don't you feel anxious anymore?"
Fu Chuan looked at his handsome face close at hand, and after a while he said softly, "If I'm half as good as senior brother, I won't be flustered."
Xie Qinghe frowned slightly.
He has tried his best to downplay his influence in Fu Chuan's growth, and he never expected that this would affect Fu Chuan's self-confidence.
Fu Chuan has always admired him.Suddenly saying this sentence, I'm afraid it's the aftermath of the recent tricks.
The existence of some people is doomed to look up to a high mountain. Looking at the high mountain from a distance, you can still praise its majesty. If you really stand at the foot of the mountain and look up day and night, the pressure and shadow brought by this high mountain will be too great.
Unless he breaks up with Xie Qinghe and stands further away, otherwise, this is a deadlock, and Fu Chuan can only face it.
Before Xie Qinghe could speak, Fu Chuan had already stretched out his arms and hugged him: "I know. If I am not worthy of Senior Brother, no one in the world is worthy. Senior Senior Brother, I will not let you down."
Xie Qinghe patted his head: "Well. From the time we met to now, I have never been disappointed. You are fine."
■
Dragon City, Weiyang Palace.
Two palace eunuchs in gray clothes quietly entered the door, and quietly lit all the candles in the hall.
It was already evening, and the chief eunuch in the Queen's Palace poked his head to look at the front of the hall, while the chief officer guarding the door shook his head quietly.
Since the emperor accidentally broke his spine six years ago, the emperor has never been to the harem again.After such a long time, all the favorite concubines have stopped cooking, that is to say, the empress is still not giving up. Every [-]th day of the Lunar New Year, she will send the chief eunuch to the Tai Chi Hall to have a look.
According to the rules of the harem, the first and fifteenth day of every month is the queen's day, and the emperor must go to the queen's palace.
Even if the emperor is injured and ill, and no longer visits the harem, he will send some gifts to the empress on the first and fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year.
Thanks to the reward twice a month, the empress has maintained the dignity of the harem, firmly controlled the power of the harem, and prevented chaos in the harem. However, Jing's harem is very peaceful.
After a while, the emperor's voice sounded in the hall, and the eunuch hurried in to listen to the order.
When the chief eunuch came out, the prepared rewards were sent to Changqiu Palace along with the emperor's oral order.
The chief eunuch in the queen's palace sighed, shook his head, and ran back.
The emperor did not come to the harem, so the harem naturally had complaints.
It's just that the emperor broke his spine and couldn't stand up at all. What's the use of complaining in the harem?
The empress and several concubines who had heirs maintained the dignity of the emperor all the time, and they were relentless in suppressing the concubines who had no children and favored them.After so many years, the queen's status is as stable as Mount Tai, and she is the last person who doesn't want the emperor to suddenly run into the harem.
"Your Majesty, I heard that not long after the key was released to the palace gate, the third master handed over a sign to see you, His Majesty ordered the palace door to be opened, and the third master was invited to enter the palace to discuss in detail." The eldest maid approached the queen's ear and whispered.
The queen covered her face with pearl powder and said, "Got it."
"It's so late, and I don't know how the third master wants to honor His Majesty." The eldest palace maid said with a hint of sourness in her tone.
"It's your turn to think about how he honors His Majesty?" The queen was not angry either.
The empress had thought of dedicating this court lady to the emperor's favor at the beginning, but it was too late to implement the plan, and the emperor had an accident first.The Grand Palace Maid still wanted to go to the emperor's side to serve the sick. After so many years, she still did not forget her infatuation.
There is such a past, the queen is quite tolerant to her: "Don't talk about it in the future. Go down."
From the time the emperor ascended the throne, there were young and beautiful courtiers around him. The Second Master Shu left and the Third Master Li came.
The queen never said a word.The so-called favored officials can neither give birth to princes nor enter the harem.When the palace was full of favorite concubines, the empress kept the second master to share the favor with the harem favorite concubine. Now the emperor doesn't even enter the harem, so why did she provoke the third master?Do you think your good days are too long?
the other side.
Li Nanfeng took Fu Chuan's handwritten letter and hurried into the hall.
The palace supervisor helped him take off Yuxue's cloak, and when he turned around, he saw the emperor resting his lower lip with one hand, coughing lightly to relieve the discomfort in his lungs, still bowing his head at his desk, reviewing the mountain of memorials.
"Your Majesty has worked hard." Li Nanfeng spoke with a trace of anger.
Seeing that the situation was not good, several palace supervisors hurriedly retreated.
The emperor raised his head, his brows were clear and kind, and there was a hint of gentleness, and he asked, "Who made you angry again?"
Li Nanfeng stepped forward angrily, and threw the letter on the imperial case.
The envelope flew out along the imperial case and fell to the ground.The emperor had trouble with his legs and feet, so he sat on the throne and ticked off the letter, but he couldn't tick the letter.
Seeing the emperor's difficult movements, Li Nanfeng immediately realized that he had gone too far. He hurried forward to pick up the letter, knelt down beside the emperor, and whispered, "Second senior brother."
"It's okay." The emperor opened the envelope and smiled when he saw Fu Chuan's handwriting, "The handwriting has improved, I learned it from the senior brother."
When he read the letter, Li Nanfeng couldn't help cursing: "He was with the senior brother, so he didn't learn a single thing from the senior brother! After moving the birdmen from Miaojiang to the north, they sent people to come every day." Spread the word, control this, control that, from head to toe, I wish I could send an 'imperial envoy' to stand in front of me, and tell me what to do! —— Well, he is the head disciple, how dare I, an exiled sinner, not listen to what he says? ?”
"Now that something is wrong, I asked someone to ask him for instructions, but he will reprimand you!" Li Nanfeng slapped the table angrily.
The emperor read the whole letter and said, "What about the letter he wrote to you first?"
Li Nanfeng said angrily: "I've already had a fever. Keep the eggs!"
The emperor looked down at the letter and said, "I remember the first letter he wrote to you to beg for mercy. The wording was also very polite and respectful, and it didn't have the prestige of a master disciple."
"At that time, he wrote a private letter, so he didn't dare to take Joe." Li Nanfeng said.
"This letter... is also very polite. If you are speaking as the head disciple." The emperor read the letter again, "I have two ideas now, listen to it, and which one you think is reasonable."
Li Nanfeng said he was all ears.
"These two letters were written by my junior brother. The letter I usually ask you about the resettlement of the Miao people in the Northland may be written by an outside sect, and my junior brother has not read it." The emperor said.
Li Nanfeng directly denied the emperor's conjecture, and said with a sneer, "I've been a deacon in the Outer Sect for more than ten years. Besides him, who in the Outer Sect would dare to write to me in the tone of a dead father? Even if it wasn't his own handwriting, It was also his instruction!"
The emperor is more inclined to this.
After being strongly denied by Li Nanfeng, the emperor said the latter speculation: "Usually the letters are written by the juniors, but the first two letters with a polite attitude may be... the seniors knew about it, so they wrote it. Be polite?"
Li Nanfeng thought for a while, and said: "If he wants to intervene in the matter of the exiles in Gubei, he will naturally ask the elder brother for instructions. The elder brother knows that he wrote a letter to beg me, so he writes very politely."
"As for this letter..."
"I understand!" Li Nanfeng suddenly gloated.
"I'm afraid it wasn't because I suddenly sent someone to Hanshan to expose the matter that he kept interrupting the remote control of Miao Mingubei. The elder brother reprimanded him, so he wrote such a letter. It seems that I deliberately seduced him into the world. It's—he wants to hide the truth from the elder brother and pass the responsibility to me?"
The emperor still has doubts about this: "The junior brother has been with the senior brother all these years, so it should...not be like this."
A good kid, he didn't grow crooked when he was with the master, but he grew crooked when he was with the elder brother?
"It's not easy to find out what's going on? I'll write an apology form right away and send it to Elder Brother."
Li Nanfeng's apology form was an apology in name, but it was actually a complaint.Obviously, it is necessary to detail how Fu Chuan arranged for the Miao people in this year.
"If the senior brother already knew about it, it would be my ignorance as a junior. After being reprimanded by the head disciple, I would immediately express my apology."
"If the senior brother doesn't know..." Li Nanfeng chuckled, "The family law of the senior brother is not just for fun."
The emperor disapproved of his idea very much, shook his head and said: "How old are you, do you have to be angry with children? Regardless of the facts, he wrote this letter with his own hand, just bowing his head and begging for peace. Thinking about it, he won't do it in the future." Then interrupt the affairs of the North Land. Don’t make troubles, write a letter of apology to the master—don’t talk about the past, just bow your head and confess—and hand it to the outer gate, there is no need to write a letter to the real master.”
"Second senior brother, you have to think clearly. If the senior brother doesn't know that he has frequently interrupted the affairs of the Northland in the past six months, I sent someone to the mountain to ask him how to deal with the civil unrest in the Northland. The letter has come, if I don't explain it, what will Senior Brother think?" Li Nanfeng asked.
The emperor couldn't help laughing: "What else can he think? With such a distance, can he still travel thousands of miles to reprimand me?"
Seeing him laughing awkwardly, Li Nanfeng felt very sad.
"Let's do this. If you feel wronged," the emperor patted Li Nanfeng on the shoulder, "it's okay. I'll write the apology form, and you can seal it and send it." The cut jade leaf paper, after changing a ink pen, is about to write.
Li Nanfeng held down the pen in his hand, stalemate for a moment, and said, "I'll write. You don't need it."
Seeing the emperor coughing uncontrollably, Li Nanfeng's heart ached and he spoke even more irritably: "We stay up here every day to watch the night, read the booklets, and think of ways. Li coughed worse. The whole court is busy, and I have to serve that ignorant little bastard! —— Serve as long as you serve, and he will have to blame him for returning it! Is there such a reason?!"
"Why you and I are here, you know why, so don't complain." The emperor swallowed a sip of hot tea, "Jizhou came to report in the afternoon, saying that the snowstorm destroyed many houses and tens of thousands of people were homeless. The snow melts late over there, and people will freeze to death if they stay here, so I don’t worry about letting others go, the household department is already counting supplies, you take people to the disaster relief yourself, and build a warm house as soon as possible..."
Hearing this, Li Nanfeng didn't bother to complain about the sect's affairs, so he nodded repeatedly.
After talking about the snow disaster in Jizhou, the emperor changed several topics one after another. The two talked until late at night before Li Nanfeng hurriedly left the palace.
Yun Chao, dressed as a palace supervisor, stepped forward naturally, lit the candlestick on the emperor's table with a lighted candle, put the half-burned candle aside, and cut off the long wick with scissors.After doing all this, he also stepped forward to change the emperor for a cup of hot tea suitable for drinking.
——Yun Chao has a special background, not an ordinary person, nor an ordinary monk, and the traces of his breath are very subtle.
Not only did the emperor fail to notice his abnormality, but Li Nanfeng sat in the hall for almost two hours without noticing his existence.
After Li Nanfeng left, the emperor looked down at the scriptures, until he saw the fourth watch.
The Document Supervision Committee archived all the memorials before dawn, and then issued them to the cabinet for implementation as soon as possible.
The courtiers all praised the emperor for his diligence.All the memorials sent to the emperor's case are not overnight.Delivered today, shipped tomorrow.Such an efficient emperor has never been seen in hundreds of years.
It wasn't until dawn that the emperor put down the vermilion pen, stretched himself, and picked up the letter brought by Li Nanfeng.
He looked down at the letter for a long time and sighed.
"It's fine if you come to reprimand me," said the emperor.
Yun Chao curled his lips, thinking beautifully.
■
Li Nanfeng's apology form was still on the way, Yun Chao went back to Hanshan first, and wandered around the outer gates.
Yun Chao's position in Hanshan is very detached, he had no place to live some time ago, so he hung out with Chen Yiwei and Shi Qin every day in the outer gate, and got very familiar with the deacons and elites below.
Moreover, everyone knows that he does not take an unusual path up and down the mountain, and it is common for him to appear and disappear.
Even if he suddenly flew out from behind a certain room, no one suspected what he was doing sneakily in the room.Probably took a shortcut?This is a close minister of the sect leader who dared to go straight up and down the stargazing platform. He used to deliver letters to the old sect leader on behalf of the sect leader, and even flew up to the Feixian Caolu.
Yun Chao went around to Wenshuliao, but found nothing.
Correspondence outside the Hanjiang Sword Party must be archived.Only the private letters of the disciples under the sect, the sect does not archive and will not interfere with the recording.
Yun Chao didn't believe that Fu Chuan would write a private letter to harass Li Nanfeng, but everything must be based on evidence.
In order to prove Fu Chuan's innocence, before leaving Longcheng, Yun Chao went around Li Nanfeng's residence and stole a letter from the outer door to Li Nanfeng, in which he ordered Li Nanfeng how to resettle the Miao people in the Northland.
Li Nanfeng told the emperor that the tone of the letter was that his father was dead. Yun Chao took a look and thought that the person who wrote the letter might have both his parents dead.
——That mouth is called a stinky mouth.
So, who wrote this letter that has never been archived in the outer sect, and the source is definitely tricky?
Unable to find out the ins and outs, Yun Chao has no way to explain to the master, if he keeps walking around the outer door, he is afraid of bewildering the snake.
When Yun Chao was thinking about what to do, Chen Yiwei happened to be patrolling the outer gate, and he casually approved a note for Shanxia Gate, and then asked Hu Lei, who was on duty at the clerical office, to send it: "Uncle Li is not at home recently, please let the following Be careful with your purchases, senior brother will be cutting new clothes this season..."
When Hu Lei was going to sign the order, Yun Chao took a look and was very surprised.
observatory.
"The handwriting on this letter is exactly the same as that of Hu Lei, an elite disciple from the outer sect." Yun Chao said.
"However, in my humble opinion, even if Hu Lei wanted to forge this letter, why would he write it in his own font? I happened to go to the outer door, and Chen Yiwei suddenly appeared, and the servant caught Hu Lei. Too coincidental."
Seeing Xie Qinghe stretch out his hand, Yun Chao handed over the letter in his hand and another piece of paper.
Hu Lei was on duty at Wenshuliao, Yun Chao could easily find his handwriting from Wenshuliao, and put it together with the letter.
Xie Qinghe is a master of calligraphy, and he is also very good at recognizing handwriting. He can tell at a glance that Hu Lei has been framed: "It's not him." Before Yun Chao mentioned Chen Yiwei again, he put aside Chen Yiwei's suspicion, "It's not Blindly."
Yun Chao could hear the certainty in his tone, and asked, "Master already knows who it is?"
Xie Qinghe said a name.
Yun Chao frowned suddenly: "He?!"
"It's good that you know it in your heart. This matter is over." Xie Qinghe raised his hand, and the letter was immediately swallowed by the flames, and soon burned to ashes and drifted away from the cliff. He told Yun Chao again, "Don't tell me yet Junior brother."
