imprinted you in my heart

At three o'clock in the unitary hour, Shi Min ate dinner alone in the Wenxuan Hall, and took a bitter pill before he started eating. This was the third and last time today. He closed his eyes and swallowed it quickly. Done.

Compared with the black, bitter and unpleasant traditional Chinese medicine, this pill specially developed to treat allergy symptoms under her prompting is much better than the former in terms of appearance and taste. She must carry some with her when she goes out next time. Just in case.

The entire Wenxuan Hall was very quiet, except for the sound of her eating, which was the sound of Xixiabucai. The sky outside was getting darker and darker. The palace lanterns of the palaces were lit up, which became the dazzling light of the whole city, sprinkled in the moat, sparkling. .

Today's meal is relatively light, Shi Min is full after eating two bowls, and rewards the rest of the meal to Lu Guanchu, Xixia and Fanqiu. It is also a kind of benefit.

Whether she eats alone or with the royal grandma, there are people around her who serve dishes with special silver chopsticks. The sapphire-inlaid red gold chopsticks they eat by themselves will not directly pick up vegetables on the plate, so Even after eating the dishes are clean and hygienic.

As usual, at the beginning of the Guan Dynasty, one of the three of them would stay to serve, and the other two would come to change after eating. Shi Min wanted to walk around the hall by himself, so he didn't let anyone stay. Even if the three of them were not there, the other palace attendants And the Imperial Guards are also there, she won't be the only one.

There are eight hundred servants in the palace and three thousand imperial guards. The most important thing in the palace is people, but the names she can remember are only the tip of the iceberg. Fortunately, she has lived in the palace for more than ten years. , It was also done deliberately because of the favor of the emperor's grandmother when she was still there.

She is full of curiosity about unknown things, but she likes to be in absolute control of life, so she knows everything in her chest, and she doesn't want to be deceived whether it's palace affairs or national affairs, so she has to understand and know, so as not to be deceived. As for being kept in the dark by the people below.

Although her mother is in charge of the affairs of the palace, she also deliberately pays attention to it, not because she is worried that the mother will not manage well, but because some internal officials and palace servants are too cunning to deceive others, even if she cannot take absolute precautions Before it happens, it must be settled quickly after the occurrence.

This year is the fourth year she has worked in the Wenxuan Hall. Taking advantage of the free time, she walked around from the beginning to the end, only to find that the pillars, doors, windows, wooden boards and furniture in the hall have not aged due to the passage of four years. Old, as expected of full-year golden nanmu, the wood is hard, durable, good corrosion resistance, with a special fragrance, and can prevent insects.

From the construction level of the wooden structure of the whole palace, the layout, exquisiteness and exquisiteness of the palace, one can get a glimpse of the preferences and character of one or two great ancestors. The whole palace is square and very symmetrical. The layout is exquisite, the workmanship is fine but not luxurious, simple and solemn , which makes people awe-inspiring.

The great ancestor who was able to build such a palace must be thoughtful and obsessive-compulsive. In order to prove her conjecture, she went to read the history of the great ancestor. It seems to be right, but it seems wrong, because the character of the great ancestor has changed before and after he ascended the throne.

While Shi Min was standing in the corner and staring at the pillar thinking, a palace attendant came in from the outside with a anxious face and walked quickly and saluted in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, I wish you peace, Tai Fu Gu Yunchou is asking to see you outside the Chengtian Gate. ".

"Xuan" Shi Min waited for this moment for too long, excited and looking forward to it, and quickly returned to her seat. Before the Tai Tuo came, she had to finish approving the remaining 5 memorials quickly.

When Gu Yunchou arrived outside the Hall of Propaganda, Shi Min had already finished approving the memorabilia, and the three of Lu Guanchu also returned to their respective posts.

After Gu Yunchou came in, she asked the others, including Lu Guanchu, to retreat outside the hall, "Teacher, have they all arrived?" When there was no one in private, she would call them teachers as before.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I wonder if Your Majesty is going now, or some other day to see you?" Although Gu Yunchou was over 60 years old, her makeup was neat and decent, and her elegant attire made her more energetic.

As His Majesty's former teacher, today's Grand Tutor and Marquis Wenxi, she didn't take credit for being a hero because of the great victory in the Western Expedition, and she didn't complain because His Majesty didn't give her a position of real power. Instead, she cultivated her personality willingly.

As long as she doesn't mess around, with His Majesty's regard and respect for their teachers, it will be a matter of time before she is reused except for her own unwillingness. Based on her understanding of His Majesty, it is by no means to kill a donkey or kill a donkey. Monarch, she firmly believes in this, so she has no worries.

Shi Min also likes this teacher very much, not because she uses soldiers like a god to strategize, but because she judges the situation, is neither arrogant nor discouraged, and has a heart of loyalty and patriotism. She has the demeanor of a general. She has her own considerations for arranging positions of real power.

"Thank you for your hard work, teacher, so as not to have long nights and dreams, go now, teacher, you go first, and I will arrive later." The goal of the two walking together was too big, and she decided to walk separately like last time.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will retire." Although His Majesty treats her as a teacher, as early as the day His Majesty ascended the throne, he had already established himself as His Majesty's subject and used this as his code of conduct.

She was really relieved to see that the once stern teacher had strictly followed the duties of a courtier since she came to the throne, and she was also very happy that the teachers that the imperial grandmother had painstakingly found for her were really good.

When she changed into casual clothes and rode out of the palace in a carriage, it was already dark, and the streets were very quiet. Pedestrians hurried home with their heads down, and only met sedan chairs and carriages a few times. The red lanterns at the door and the sparse pedestrians.

She also thought of the curfew system that accompanied the feudal system, and Huaguo naturally inherited it.Existence is reasonable, and the curfew system does have its good side in this era.The first is fire prevention and anti-theft, the second is that in times of war, it can prevent enemy spies or surprise troops from sneaking in at night, and the third is that when disasters and wars occur, a large number of refugees will appear, preventing refugees from swarming in and disrupting order.

Therefore, implementing the curfew system and sending people to patrol continuously can effectively prevent problems before they happen to a certain extent.At three o'clock in the morning (20:12) the evening drum is sounded, and no travel is allowed; at three o'clock in the five o'clock (4:12) the morning bell is sounded before the ban is lifted.

From 19 o'clock in the evening to [-] o'clock in the morning of the next day, there is a shift every two hours, a total of five shifts, and each shift is divided into five points.When she first came here, in order not to remember the wrong time, she checked all the time here and the modern time, and memorized them. At first, she would think about it before she knew what time it was. Now she is used to it. Just listen to know what time it is.

After the curfew starts at [-] o'clock on the first watch, those who walk on the street at the second, third, and fourth watches will be given [-] lashes; those who violate the night ban after the first watch and shortly before the fifth watch is lifted, will be given ten lashes. This is the case throughout the country , Princes and ministers are no exception, except for the emperor and those with gold medals.

Gold medals are not rewards, but are entrusted to the ministers by the emperor to handle matters. If they are temporarily given to the ministers to do things cheaply, they must be returned as soon as possible afterwards. Therefore, the total number of gold medals at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China remains unchanged.

Another exception is summer, that is, from the beginning of May to the end of July every year, the curfew time is shortened a lot. The national summer festival is held on the evening of June [-] every year.

It's not yet the curfew time, so I can still see some people, and it will be very quiet when I come back. Except for the patrolling foreign guards, yamen servants and watchmen, there are probably no one else.

She did not bring Xixia and Fanqiu with her when she came out this time, but only Lu Guanchu, the groom and the four guards on duty today.

It's not the first time that Lu Guanchu and His Majesty go out at night like this. Although she still doesn't know why His Majesty went to the Xianliang Temple outside the city at night, she is not curious at all, because it is not a good thing to know more, especially the master. She didn't want to know the time against her, so she listened to what should be said from the beginning to the end, and never said what should not be said.

The road was unimpeded. After more than an hour, Shi Min and his group finally arrived at Xianliang Temple. Gu Yunchou and the Taoist priest of Xianliang Temple, who had already arrived one step ahead, were already waiting at the gate. Your Majesty St. Ann".

Shi Min got out of the carriage and realized how dark the night was. The starry sky was so dark that you couldn't see any stars. Fortunately, the two lanterns hanging at the entrance of the Taoist temple were very conspicuous. Teacher Gu and the others also had lanterns. With the addition of the lantern of the carriage and the torches carried by the imperial guards in plain clothes, I can see the general idea clearly.

Just like last time, only Teacher Gu and Ma Daochang, the person in charge of Xianliang Temple, came to greet her. "Get up." She was very satisfied because she didn't want other irrelevant people to know.

Under the leadership of Daoist Ma, they passed through the gate, turned left and right several times before arriving at the spacious temple where fewer gods were enshrined last time, and Daoist Ma took his leave after delivering it.

No matter last time or this time, it was Gu Yunchou who greeted Taoist Master Ma in advance, so these two days Xianliang Temple found an excuse to close the door to thank the guests. In the entire Taoist Temple, they were the only Taoist priests who became monks.

The groom and the carriage were left waiting outside the door, while Lu Guanchu and the internal guards were left a hundred meters away by Shi Min. This matter was kept a secret, and she hoped that as few people as possible would know about it.

When Shi Min entered the hall, there were three people neatly sitting on each side of the hall, men and women, some older and some younger. Seeing her coming in, they all stood up. After Ma Daochang left, Gu After Yun Shu closed the door, they saluted in unison: "Regardless of Your Majesty's peace."

"Get up, you have worked hard all the way, you have worked hard." There is a chair in the middle under the statue of an unknown fairy, and she sat down on the chair as she said.

"Being loyal to His Majesty" hurried all the way, the six people who were looking forward to, nervous and a little bit afraid, did not expect His Majesty to be so majestic and close, although they dared not look at their appearance, their voices seemed to be magnetic, smoothing them out tension.

Everyone will be inexplicably nervous and scared when they see her for the first time. At the beginning, she would underestimate in her heart "I am not a flood monster, why are you so afraid of me?" Now I am used to it and understand that it is not me that they are afraid of. , but the imperial power in her hands, "Sit down", there is an empty seat in front of her left hand, which is for Teacher Gu. ?
