Those things about fighting wits and courage with the little grudges

The little emperor raised his eyebrows after reading the secret report that Gu Nanzhao had received private soldiers into the western suburbs, and then burned it. Gu Nanzhao stayed in the western suburbs with this idea in mind. His soldiers are really comfortable.

After Gu Nanzhao was intercepted, the queen mother did not move at all, which surprised the little emperor. What is the queen mother's plan...

"Your Majesty." Deshun came in to remove the ashes. "Your Majesty, Mr. Qi asked for a piano, and the servant gave it to me."

"Ah."

"It's just that Mr. Qi said that he wanted to thank His Majesty, and invited His Majesty to come and sit with him later. I heard that Mr. Qi's piano skills are excellent, and everyone in Zhehe knows it." Deshun blinked and said emphatically The four characters of "excellent piano art".

The piano skills are excellent, and the little emperor was indifferent to listening to the piano, but he became interested. "Then go and have a look."

It was also the first time for the emperor to visit the inner palace at night. All the palace people were shocked. After walking through the long road with only palace walls, the little emperor stopped at the "Guanchun Garden".The sound of the qin in the garden may be real or empty, sometimes it is like a drop of water hitting a stone, it is ethereal and clear, and sometimes it is like a river tumbling into the sea.

"Wait outside, Gu will stay here tonight."

Deshun got the order to send someone to go to the inner mansion to make a record of Mr. Qi's bedtime service. There was a lot of commotion, for fear that some people would not know.

The door of the main wing of "Guanchunyuan" is half-closed, and the scene inside is completely clean. A bead curtain covers Qi Lanjia's figure, and the little emperor walks in slowly, not rushing to open it Zhu Lian looked at the people inside, but walked to the side and sat down, listening carefully.

Seeing the little emperor coming, Qi Langjia didn't salute, but was still busy playing the piano, plucking the strings with her knuckles, every string and every note were just right.

The sound of the zither was soaring, which brought people's emotions straight up to the sky, and then gradually lowered, making people have to listen carefully. At the end of the song, Qi Lanjia panted heavily, beads of sweat fell on the strings, and struck out the last note.

"Okay." This piano art is called the best.

After the song was closed, the little emperor walked over and opened the bead curtain, and sat down cross-legged directly opposite Qi Langjia. "But there are other things, keep playing."

That Qi Langjia secretly rejoiced, if the person can be retained, it is the first step to win.

"Your Majesty wants to hear something."

"Nine Les."

Startled, Nine Music is a must-play at the banquet, so could it be that the little emperor is trying to test him.

"Why? Brother Qi is not willing?" The little emperor's tone was firm, his eyes fixed on Qin.

Qi Langjia was caught off guard by the cry of brother Qi, how does it feel to be called brother by an emperor.

That Qi Langjia had just finished playing a piece, and now her fingertips were in severe pain, but the little emperor asked, and had to agree.

He straightened his posture, put his fingertips on the strings, and the sound of the piano overflowed.The little emperor looked very carefully, staring straight at Qi Langjia's hand.

The white jade produced by those hands is flawless, it can be seen that Qi Langjia has worked hard on weekdays.

After Qi Langjia finished one song, the little emperor clicked another song, and Qi Langjia's fingertips began to turn red.

"Your Majesty..." Qi Langa had pleading eyes. "I really can't play with my hands anymore." His hands are precious and cannot withstand such a toss.

"It's okay, let's change to Gu. If there is something wrong with Gu, you can point it out."

"Yes." After saying that, Qi Langjia moved aside to make room for the little emperor to sit down.

The little emperor's technique of playing the piano is straight, it can be seen that he has practiced it before.

"Your Majesty is proficient in fingering, but he also likes rhythm." After asking, Qi Langjia regretted it. Qi Langjia probably didn't know what the little emperor liked.

But the little emperor didn't care, he concentrated on playing the piano, playing the nine music over and over again, and was not satisfied with anything.

"What's wrong?" The little emperor always followed the fingering, but why the sound was wrong.

That Qi Langjia smiled faintly, stretched out his hand and dialed out a few sounds. "Your Majesty's piano skills are excellent, and the empathy is acceptable. It's just that your Majesty practiced martial arts, and his fingertips have calluses, so the sound of the piano is not clear enough."

The little emperor raised his eyebrows. This Qi Lanjia's piano skills are excellent, and he must practice every day. It is impossible that his fingertips will not leave calluses.The little emperor grabbed his hand and looked at it. Qi Langa didn't expect this movement, and his body tensed up.

"His Majesty?"

"Not really."

The little emperor looked carefully, his fair hands could be said to be tenderer than eggs.

Seeing the little emperor grabbing her hand, Qi Langjia was so proud, she even moved her knuckles slowly to attract attention. The candlelight shone on that hand, as if passing through a layer of light, That Qi Langa was obsessed with watching it.

Seeing the man's appearance, the little emperor suppressed the nausea in his heart, let go of his hands and continued to practice fingering.

The sound of the qin played in the garden all night, and when it was about to dawn, Deshun came to call the little emperor with his court clothes, it was time for him to go to court.That Qi Langjia leaned on the small table and was drowsy, so she could only cheer up forcibly after being shouted, and went to welcome Deshun in.

"Give it to me, father-in-law. I will change your majesty's clothes."

The little emperor concentrated on practicing fingering, and didn't say anything, so De passed the court clothes by the way.

"Your Majesty, please change your clothes."

The little emperor raised his eyes, his face was displeased, this Deshun was so confused.

Deshun is wronged, how can he be blamed for this, His Majesty himself did not stop it.

"Uh, cough, uh...Young Master has to kneel down and serve you."

After listening, Qi Lanjia secretly clasped the tray in her hand, suppressed her temper and knelt down on the ground, raised the tray above her head, and said again: "Please change your majesty."

The little emperor stood up and signaled Deshun to serve him, and asked him to lift the tray.Before leaving the garden, the little emperor ordered that Mr. Qi wanted to write something about hand guards, so just give it.These words can also be heard clearly in the yard next door.

It was the same in the next few days, and the news of the little emperor staying in the Qilanjia Garden every night spread to the previous dynasty.

In the early morning of this day, because the little emperor started to go in and out of the inner palace, a minister proposed the matter of setting up a queen and accepting a concubine.The little emperor didn't respond, and several ministers debated below, and some even thought of sending his daughter to the palace.

There is no conclusion about the matter after Li Li, and it has been going on for a long time, but at this time a minister stepped forward.

"Chen, I have something to play! The official road in the western suburbs was robbed."

The official government was robbed, and the government can handle it. Now that it is mentioned in the court, it is a big deal that bandits robbing the official road is making things difficult for the court.

The Empress Dowager asked, "When did it happen? Who did the robbery?"

"Reporting to the Empress Dowager, the imperial guards only reported that they found traces of the official road being robbed, and no vehicles, people or horses were seen."

The imperial court did not send troops to encircle the bandits on the outskirts of Wangcheng, because they obeyed the rules and always only robbed wealth and did not hurt people's lives.

The Empress Dowager then asked: "Can someone report to the official?"

Bandits in the suburbs of Wangcheng have never been able to rob people all at once, and no one dares to do the bloody crime, but it is a loss-making business.

"No."

"Well, what do you think, Your Majesty?"

Seeing the queen mother, the little emperor asked himself, fearing that the queen mother had already heard the news.

Take advantage of the patrol time of the imperial guards and make quick decisions. Ordinary bandits can't do such a thing. Gu Nanzhao, Gu Nanzhao, you can really do anything.

Before the little emperor arranged for the imperial guards to step up inspections, in case the next time he said something, the ministers below stood up first.

"Your Majesty, I feel that we should send troops to suppress the bandits!" The minister who came out to speak had a bad face.

The empress dowager and the little emperor knew clearly that it might be something shady.The Queen Mother first looked at Uncle Guo, who felt wronged. After his ink corruption case was brought out last time, he was honest and dared not do smuggling. How could the Queen Mother doubt it.

Knowing that it was not the uncle's, the queen mother looked at the ministers next to her, and occasionally a few hands trembled, and the queen mother could see them all, and he turned to look at the little emperor.

"Your Majesty, do you think it's time to send troops to suppress the bandits?" The queen mother really wanted to know what step the little emperor could do for Gu Nanzhao.

The bandits on the outskirts of the city behaved morally, and the little emperor didn't move because he wanted to recruit security. Now that Gu Nanzhao is raising troops in the stockade, if he really sends the imperial guards up, whoever will suffer.

There is no need for the little emperor to ask for a delay in this matter, and an adult from below will stand up: "It is not that the bandits in the suburbs have never been suppressed, and it is a waste to go to the mountains and dangers. Those bandits never hurt people's lives, at most they are small troubles, and there is no rush." For a while."

"Bandits rob officials in broad daylight. If you call this a small fight, it's clearly a provocation."

"Your Majesty, Empress Dowager, in my opinion, those bandits dare to run so rampant in the royal city, and they can't be cured."

"It's only been a long time since the war in the southwest has been peaceful. If we are eager to suppress the bandits now, it will undoubtedly waste the treasury."

"It's a joke! It's just a bandit suppression, and it can involve the treasury, and send out guards at will, but it's impossible to take him down as a western suburb!"

"The western suburbs are naturally dangerous, and the eastern suburbs are densely forested. Do you think they are fools? It's not that easy."

The noise started again, the ministers were arguing endlessly, and the Queen Mother also found it noisy.

"Enough, let's stop here today."

The queen mother let go, and kept looking at the little emperor before leaving.

"The Ai family heard that His Majesty stays in Qilangana every day, Your Majesty, it's better not to work too hard." The Queen Mother smiled cryptically.

……

When the little emperor returned to the Gouge Hall, the Queen Mother sent some things to replenish his body and put them on the table.The little emperor didn't take much rest recently, and he also felt that his body was a little weak, so he used up all of it.

"Deshun, let you find something, did you find it?"

Deshun listened, touching the ointment in his sleeve, wondering if he should take it out. "Your Majesty, are you sure?"

"If you find it, bring it."

It is said that the ointment for removing putrefaction and promoting muscle growth can produce new flesh when applied to the wound, but it has to be applied on a fresh wound, and it is also very irritating. Many people have to wash off the ointment before the new flesh grows.

Deshun still took it out and handed it up. The little emperor took it without saying a word, and found a knife to scrape off the calluses on his hands one by one.Seeing the little emperor's actions, Deshun knelt on the ground and dared not speak out.Self-mutilation is really unfilial and unrighteous, not to mention that he is still an emperor, if this matter gets out, there will be troubles.

After applying the ointment, the little emperor let out a muffled groan, "Ugh..." This medicine is really powerful, and it hurts the heart when it is applied.

The little emperor's face turned purple from the pain, "Deshun, how long will it take to heal?" He was trembling after saying a word, but he also tried his best not to wash off the ointment.

"Return to Your Majesty, and say that the ointment will be cured once it dries."

"Okay." Then bear with it for a while...
