Innocent cast of white iron

In February of the fourth year of Mingde, the Zhenxi army returned to the capital with envoys from Guangluo and hundreds of boxes of apologies.In order to show his love for generals, Emperor Mingde went to the city gate to meet Generalissimo Zhao Qi in person.When the people in the city heard that the army had taken back several cities in western Xinjiang and returned in triumph, they rushed to the gates of the city to welcome the army.

This time Zhenxi won a complete victory. To reward the entire army, Emperor Mingde held a celebration banquet in the Jinluan Hall to show that all officials celebrated together.The accompanying soldiers held a banquet outside the city, giving delicious food and vintage wine.

Inside the Golden Palace.

"My minister Zhao Qi kowtowed to the emperor, long live my emperor!"

"My minister Liu Changqing kowtows to the emperor, long live my emperor!"

Han Zhen hadn't seen Zhao Qi for several years, and on the way back just now, he just peeked a little bit, and was worried that he would lose his sense of propriety, so he finally dared to look him up and down carefully, and saw that he seemed to have lost weight. Some, feeling sore in their hearts, held back a breath, and said, "Aiqing is not polite, this time Guang Luocheng surrendered to me, thanks to the two Aiqings! This time I will return to Beijing to have a good rest. I have held a celebration banquet for you, hurry up and take your seats, all the nobles can't wait to toast you and congratulate you!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Zhao Qi got up and patted the dust on the hem of his clothes.The eunuch at the side hurried over to lead him to the seat, which was the first seat on the right.Sitting next to him was Zhang Guan, opposite was He Xiangyun, and Liu Changqing happened to be sitting next to He Xiangyun, and smiled at Zhao Qi after sitting down.

As soon as Zhao Qi sat down, he heard Han Zhen say, "Zhao Aiqing, you have endured hardships in Xijiang these years, and I would like to offer you a glass on behalf of the people of the world!" Eunuch Gui, who was waiting behind him, quickly poured a glass of wine for him. He raised his glass, raised his head and drank it down.

The eunuch on the side also hurriedly wanted to serve Zhao Qi full, but seeing Zhao Qi reach out to stop him, he picked up the jug and poured half a glass.

If it was someone else, the emperor would be flattered to toast in person, but Zhao Qi was not someone else, and he said to Han Zhen indifferently, "Thank you, Your Majesty." After that, he didn't move anymore.

The rest of the people naturally secretly thought that Zhao Qi was arrogant and lawless, but Han Zhen didn't care, and asked Eunuch Gui to help him pour a cup, and said to Liu Changqing, "Liu Aiqing, I also respect you. Thanks to you and Zhao Aiqing guards the western frontier! I will immediately draw up an order to reward you and Zhao Aiqing with ten thousand taels of gold and one hundred bolts of silk."

Liu Changqing was talking to He Xiangyun just now, but he didn't expect Han Zhen to toast him, and quickly drank the wine in the glass, and then said, "As a citizen of Korea, I should serve Korea! Thank you, the emperor, for rewarding me. I can't repay you." , You must do your best to serve the imperial court and die!"

Look, this is the thought and consciousness that an official should have.Zhao Qi hooked his lips, looked at Liu Changqing meaningfully, and smiled at him.Liu Changqing was still immersed in the conversation between the emperor, the sage, and the ministers, so he didn't pay attention to this matter at all.

After a pause, Han Zhen smiled and said, "Liu Aiqing is rare for the country and the people. The food and wine are all served, and you don't have to stick to the etiquette, let's all eat!"

Everyone said "yes", and then they enjoyed the delicious food at the table and chatted with each other.

Sitting next to Zhao Qi, Zhang Guan also pretended to toast Zhao Qi with a cup, "Mr. Zhao, I haven't seen you for a few years, everything is okay?"

Zhao Qi glanced at him, and had no intention of communicating with him, so he casually raised his glass, took a sip, and said, "No disease, no disaster, be at ease."

Zhang Guan smiled coldly and stopped talking.Sooner or later, you and that He Xiangyun will be wiped out in one go, let's see how long you can be complacent!

Yan Sheng saw that the atmosphere between the two seemed to be in a bad mood, so he was very happy to provoke again, and said with a smile, "Oh, Mr. Zhang, I think Zhao Xiang doesn't seem to want to talk to you. Could it be that there is some conflict? I think Today, all the officials are celebrating together, so it’s better to make big things into small things, why bother to make troubles over small things? Zhao Xiang, don’t you think so?”

Zhao Qi raised his eyebrows, glanced at him, and said calmly, "Master Yan, I haven't seen you for a few years and I'm still nosy. The meal back then was light, and I didn't have a long memory?"

Of course, what he was talking about was that Yan Sheng sued Han Zhen back then, impeaching him for being close to Liu Changqing in private, and suspected of forming a party for personal gain.At that time, Han Zhen lost his temper, beat up Yan Sheng, and waited for Yan Sheng to calm down for a long time.Now, probably because he didn't remember the lesson, he climbed onto Zhao Qi's shoulder and scratched it again.

Naturally, Yan Sheng's expression changed, and he subconsciously went to look at Han Zhen. Fortunately, Eunuch Gui was telling something in Han Zhen's ear at this time, so he didn't notice it.

After thinking about it, today is different, now Zhao Qi has made another meritorious service, it is the time when the merit is so high, no matter how much the little emperor favors Zhao Qi, he still has to avoid the advantages and disadvantages of it.Yan Sheng had an idea in his mind, cleared his throat, and said, "The emperor asked Liu Shangqing and Prime Minister Zhao to have less contact with each other, but now it seems that both Prime Minister Zhao and Liu Shangqing turned a blind eye and ignored the emperor's will at all. inside?"

Liu Changqing was chatting with He Xiangyun about the western border, and it was He Xiangyun who suddenly asked him about being kidnapped by the rebels, and suddenly heard Yan Sheng, who was short-sighted, speak provocatively, and said coldly before Zhao Qi could speak. "Master Yan, this official and Prime Minister Zhao have lived with the soldiers in Xijiang for several years, and it is a life-and-death friendship. If, as Lord Yan said, this official and Prime Minister Zhao secretly fight and do not communicate with each other, the soldiers in Xijiang How do you convince us? How did you win the battle of Guangluo? Master Yan! I don’t know how intentional it is to provoke the relationship between this official and Zhao Xiang? Could it be that he was bribed by Guangluo..."

Yan Sheng's forehead was dripping with cold sweat, and he secretly thought that Liu Changqing was eloquent, insisting on calling white things black, and if he continued like this, he would be related to treason, so he interrupted him quickly, saying, "Liu Shangqing is too worried! This official is just a kind reminder, how could Guangluo be involved?"

"Since that's the case, what do I and Zhao Xiang have to do with Mr. Yan!" Liu Changqing frowned, thinking that Yan Sheng had repeatedly opposed himself and Feilu, and one day he would get rid of him, otherwise he would not know What will happen.And that body can't stay for long.

Yan Sheng didn't get any favors, and his face was not very good-looking, so he filled himself a glass and went to drink.

Zhang Guan stretched out his hand to touch the goatee's beard, first glanced at Liu Changqing, and then at Zhao Qi from the corner of his eye, with a thoughtful smile in his heart.It seems that the news sent back by the spies is not false.In this way, it can be used.

Besides, Han Zhen seemed a little dazed when he heard the news from Eunuch Gui, and he didn't react for a long time.In the end, Eunuch Gui bent down again to remind him, and Han Zhen suddenly understood, and hurriedly said to the audience, "Your servants are free, I have something to do in the harem, I will go and have a look first." After speaking, he followed Eunuch Gui and walked out quickly.

"Congratulations to the emperor!"

As soon as Han Zhen left, everyone was naturally much more at ease, and whispered to guess the reason for Han Zhen's departure.During this time, someone said, "The harem has always been a place of controversy, and I'm afraid some trouble has been caused."

But Zhang Guan whispered in Zhao Qi's ear, "According to what I see, maybe the empress concubine is happy, so the emperor couldn't help leaving the table with joy."

Zhao Qi raised his eyebrows, but he was not surprised that the concubine was pregnant, but rather concerned about what Zhang Guan told him.Could it be that he suspected his personal affairs with Han Zhen?He, Zhao Qi, has always been meticulous in his affairs, and there are few people who know about the affairs with Han Zhen.If Zhang Guan suspects this matter, he is probably not in the capital for the past few years, and his influence has grown.

Or, is Han Liang playing tricks in the middle?

Zhao Qi originally sent several people to help Han Liang escape from the dungeon of the Xiaoyaohou Mansion, but after such a long time, they have lost contact, and without thinking too much, he knew that Han Liang had already dealt with his people.This time, Han Liang was indeed completely out of his control.

I don't know whether Han Liang wants him to get rid of Zhang Guan because he wants to solve Zhang Guan's trouble, or if he wants him to compete with Zhang Guan so that he can reap the benefits of a fisherman.No matter what level it is, in short, Zhao Qi's current situation is not optimistic.

Apart from Zhang Guan, after all, there is another Yan Sheng who is watching from the sidelines.If there is a slight mistake, I am afraid it will be difficult to end.

The concubines in the harem include Yan Sheng's youngest daughter and Zhang Guan's niece.If it was because Han Zhen left the banquet just because there was a happy event in the harem... Now, I can only hope that the person is not Yan Wan'er or Zhang Xian.As the saying goes, a mother is more expensive than a child, so Yan Sheng and Zhang Guan can naturally rise from the ground with the power of the harem and beat Zhao Qi!

Zhao Qi thought about it, and thought, maybe, to get rid of the child before he was born?

Everyone had different thoughts, and after a while, Han Zhen hurried back.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live." Baiguan left the seat and knelt down again, stood up and shouted.

Han Zhen said, "My dear friends, you don't need to be polite, just sit down."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

As soon as he was seated, a bold eloquent officer asked, "Your Majesty, just now the Emperor left the table, and I wait to hear from my servants, it seems that any empress in the palace is happy?"

Han Zhen's eyebrows twitched, and he knew in his heart that no servant would dare to criticize this matter, and it was not because of these individuals' own speculations.Turning his eyes to Zhao Qi, Han Zhen felt a little apprehensive, Taifu, what would he think if he found out?

Zhao Qi really wanted to know if the news was true or not. A pair of black eyes stared straight at Han Zhen, and the meaning of inquiry was obvious.

Han Zhen was silent for a while, and said, "Today is a celebration banquet for our Dahan Zhenxi army, so there is no need to talk about other things!"

Everyone didn't dare to say much, shut up quickly, and drank food and wine one after another, before mentioning this matter again.

After all, Yan Waner, the youngest daughter of Yan Sheng, is Concubine Hui in the palace. He wanted to know if his daughter was up to date, and said, "Your Majesty, the blood of the royal family is related to the foundation of the country. The emperor has not had a prince for several years. If there is joy in the harem, it is naturally a matter of great joy. The whole world celebrates!"

Han Zhen frowned, very displeased that Yan Sheng didn't know what to do, and said coldly, "Okay, let's talk about it later! Could it be that I didn't speak clearly enough!"

Yan Sheng quickly knelt down and begged for mercy, "I don't dare! I don't dare!"

"Get up, don't lose your spirits."

"Yes, thank you, Your Majesty!"

Han Zhen took a deep breath. The incident happened suddenly, and he didn't know what to do.Besides, Zhao Qi just came back, how could he choose such a time... If the Grand Tutor finds out about this, what should he do?

Besides, Zhao Qi, upon seeing Han Zhen's reaction, according to his understanding, I'm afraid this matter will not be bad.I don't know which concubine Han Zhen is lucky enough to make him plan ahead.

Speaking of which, the selection of the concubine was originally done by Zhao Qi with the Ministry of Household Affairs, and the selected concubine was first screened by Zhao Qi.But what Zhao Qi hoped at that time was that Han Zhen would have an heir who could inherit the throne as soon as possible.At that time, Han Zhen and Zhao Qi were still at odds, once the prince was born, Zhao Qi was sure to leave Han Zhen and establish a new emperor.At that time, the emperor will be just a baby in his swaddle, and Zhao Qi will be the regent of Korea.

But Zhao Qi lost interest in this kind of thing in the end, not to mention that Han Zhen spoke for him later, so this plan can be left idle.Of course, Han Zhen didn't have any heirs these years, which was a mistake.

After all, Han Zhen has just come of age, and now at the age of eighteen or nine, he is a young man with full of vigor, and it is only natural that he is lucky to be a concubine in the harem.

It's just that the current timing is not good for Zhao Qi. If Zhang Guan takes advantage of this opportunity to strengthen his power, it will be troublesome.What's more, Han Zhen never had a concubine in his previous life, let alone any heirs. Now Zhang Guan's fate is hard to tell.

Zhao Qi had too many thoughts in his mind, he lost his appetite after only a few mouthfuls of food, put the chopsticks aside, and listened to others talking with his chin propped on one hand.

Returning to Beijing this time, there will be another bloodbath and no peace.

The battlefield in Western Xinjiang is indeed full of lights, but compared to the capital city, it is very pleasant.Zhao Qi thought to himself, when these things are over, he will take Liu Changqing back to Xiaoyaohou's mansion and be a carefree Xiaoyaohou.
