Before Zhang Shangshu issued the decree to completely strip him of his official position, he was still the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, a first-rank official, and he directly used the joint trial of the three divisions to deal with officials of this level.He himself was escorted to Dali Temple, where he was interrogated by the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, the Secretary of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs, and the Director of the Trial and Criminal Division.

The former servant of the household department, who was about to be promoted to the secretary of the household department, would have stayed to participate in this investigation, but he was going to Youzhou for disaster relief. Song Zi took over this matter from beginning to end.Before leaving, the former servant of the household department specially chatted with Song Zi for a while, and encouraged him in a very gentle tone: "Do well, young people should be as aggressive as you are, and not afraid of the powerful."

He took the initiative to show his favor and said a lot of hints. After they left, Song Zi found that there was a special piece of information in the pile of documents above his desk.

Song Zi met Ling Yi once, and gave all the evidence submitted to the Criminal Trial Division, and then the new official took office three times, and once the fire was fired, many people were burned.

Working in Chaotang, Song Zi was far more tiring than when he was working in Qilue Bookstore and Beijing. Although he had experienced a lot at that time, because he was the boss, the power was built up by him little by little. The latter is much more powerful than the former.

However, the water in Hubu is very deep, and the forces are intertwined. Coupled with the manpower left by the former Hubu Shangshu and the former Hubu Minister, although Song Zi has strong execution ability and is ruthless enough, he also has the guidance of his father who is the left prime minister. And backing up, he still felt exhausted uncontrollably.In fact, he is physically fine, he is young and has a good foundation, and his physical strength is much better than those of these officials, and it is more of a mental fatigue.

It was too tiring to sort out the affairs of the household department. Song Zi hadn't taken a serious rest and bath for a month on duty. After saving a few rest and holidays, he finally gave himself a slightly longer vacation. Accompany your daughter-in-law and children.

When Song Zi handed in the vacation note, he felt a lot more relaxed. It had only been a month, and when he walked out of the office of the household department, he felt as if he had passed away.

When he went back, the emperor was not in the palace, so he asked the servants in the palace, and said that the emperor was in the imperial study, and the palace servant who was questioned by him was a little panicked: "Your servant, please go and invite the emperor."

"No need." Song Zi didn't arrange for anyone to notify, and someone would tell the emperor his whereabouts after a while.

He looked at his face in the glass and silver mirror that was as tall as a man, and was a little frightened by his haggard look: "Go and get me... prepare a basin of warm water, a shaving knife, and facial fat for Ben Gong, Don't want the scented one." It's been a month, and he's still not used to calling himself Ben Gong, and it's easy to make mistakes.

Not long after Song Zi's order arrived, the emperor himself also arrived: "Xiao Qi came back suddenly, so I don't know how to call me."

Song Zi covered his face: "Don't you want to surprise His Majesty?"

"I'm so sloppy, Ah Yan, don't look at me." Song Zi looked at the emperor, then hurriedly put his half-shaven beard behind his head for the time being, and stepped forward to help Sima Yan onto the soft chair: "What are you doing now?" If you are heavy, don't walk for too long, sit first."

Sima Yan said: "It's okay, anyway, I don't have to go to court now." He took the razor knife, "I'll shave for Xiao Qi."

How could Song Zi dare to let him touch the knife: "I will do this."

The emperor was not happy: "Xiao Qi dislikes me and can't do anything?"

A pregnant woman is like this. While enjoying the care, she is often annoyed by the excessive care. Obviously he has hands and feet, and is a normal person, and he is not glass that will shatter when touched lightly. Even if the reason tells I am indeed in a special situation now, but this kind of differential treatment is unbearable.

"Okay, okay, come here." Song Zi looked at the knife, and it was not particularly dangerous, "Ayan, I have given my face to you, you must be careful."

The emperor's hand was very steady, and he helped him shave the remaining stubble in two or three strokes, and then threw the knife aside: "Okay, wash your face and have a look."

Song Zi soaked his face with clean water, then patted his cheeks, his chin was very smooth, and his face was clean: "The shaved is very clean, and there is no bleeding, Ah Yan is awesome."

The emperor raised his eyebrows: "If I can't even do this little thing well, what kind of emperor will I be?"

That being said, there are many things one needs to know to be an emperor, but there is definitely no such thing as knowing how to shave himself.Song Zi tidied up his things and pushed all the dangerous items away, then he said: "I just took a few days' vacation, and I won't go anywhere, just stay with you in the palace."

Sima Yan's black eyes shone like obsidian soaked in mercury: "Xiaoqi and I really have a mutual understanding. I just asked the Ministry of Rites to order that I am ill and will not go to court for the next month."

Not going to the court will not affect Sima Yan's handling of some important state affairs, because the papers will be handed over to Liubu and Zhongshu Sheng first, trivial matters can be handled directly by the courtiers, and those who do not have enough authority will be pushed to the court If the situation is urgent and urgent enough, you can go to the palace and report it in time.

"Is there something uncomfortable?"

Now the child in Sima Yan's belly is seven months old, and it will be born in about a month. The emperor's belly is getting bigger and bigger, but he hasn't gained much weight, so if you take off the loose clothes, the belly The bulge will be very obvious.

When the emperor walked in the palace, he had such a big belly, and then he walked around wearing that kind of wooden clogs. Sometimes Song Zi felt frightened when he looked at it. It's especially big: "It's fine if you stay in the bedroom, and you can cover yourself with a blanket when the time comes."

With resentment in her eyes, the beauty gently placed her hand on her swollen belly: "Xiao Qi thinks that I am shameful and needs to be covered up."

"No! How could I think so." Song Zi said, "I just thought, if Ah Yan doesn't like other people's strange eyes, it doesn't matter if you block them."

He changed the subject: "Yes, I'm not happy. I'm not happy that others are staring at such a beautiful wife like me."

The previous poisoning incident has been played down in everyone's minds, and everyone probably doesn't remember what kind of poison the emperor was poisoned by.Song Zi has a good memory, but he still remembers the sequelae of detoxification mentioned by the emperor at that time, which may be out of shape, moody, and bulging abdomen.

If his Ah Yan met the courtiers, or went up to the court wearing a relatively large robe, and then stuffed pillows on his upper body, and made some modifications that made his whole body swollen, no one would dare to say anything, after all, his Ah Yan was magnanimous. Naturally, not at all twitchy.

Ah Yan is so natural as the person involved, and Song Zi can't be too exaggerated about this matter. He said in a relaxed tone: "Isn't it normal to have a big belly? If you look at the civil and military affairs of the court, five out of ten have big stomachs." , I see that some are as pregnant as October."

Many diseases can make the stomach swell, such as not going to the toilet normally for too long, the stomach is full of stool, or a huge sarcoid grows in the stomach, and the sequelae of mysterious Gu poison, and some officials drink too much alcohol and eat Too much meat leads to a big belly. People look thin, but their stomachs are particularly exaggerated.

Originally, the Son of Heaven was superior, so few people dared to stare at the Emperor, let alone talk about looking down on the Emperor. The Emperor is a real man, and men can’t have children. Except for a few well-informed imperial physicians and the Song family, no one would be out of their minds It is speculated that the emperor is pregnant.

Sima Yan said angrily: "Xiaoqi's mouth is getting more and more sweet."

Song Zi vowed: "When have I ever said sweet words, what I said is the truth from the bottom of my heart."

"If you don't want to laugh, don't laugh."

Song Zi's expression was a little dazed, he couldn't see what he was like at this moment, and he didn't know if he just smiled.Is he smiling?Should not be right.

Sima Yan pulled Song Zi's sleeve, and let the latter bow his head to come closer. The emperor held his empress's face in his heart, washed his face, shaved his beard, and shaved off the piercing stubble. This face was still very beautiful. His youth is compelling, but just now the corners of Song Zi's mouth turned up unnaturally, with a sense of exhaustion that is not smiling, he is no longer jealous, and his voice is so soft that dripping water: "Xiao Qi Have you been too tired during this period of time, your eyes have no light."
