Prince's Revenge

Chapter 19

In Dayong in midsummer, the heat was unbearable. In the Hall of Mental Cultivation, the unique sweet smell of ambergris lingered in it. The white jade porcelain cup was soaked with light green Biluochun. He Dichi was wearing a yellow silk uniform and was reading the memorial at his desk.

Wang Fu was in a trance. The smell of tranquilizing incense, the aroma of tea leaves, the furnishings in the palace, the color and style of the emperor's dragon robes were all exactly the same as those in the previous dynasty. He seemed to have returned to five years ago, sitting on the dragon chair. Not the current emperor He Dichi of the He dynasty, but the emperor of Dazong.

But there is another difference. On such a hot day, the Emperor Dazong would definitely go to the pond in the garden to cool off and listen to operas, eat frozen fruits, and admire the lotus in the pond, so as not to suffer himself.However, the emperor of the He Dynasty never knew how to enjoy himself. No matter when, He Dichi always put the affairs of the court first.Just like now, he repeatedly suggested to put some ice cubes in the hall to cool down, but Hedi Chi just didn't agree, he seemed to have a tendency to suffer from self-suffering, sweat flowed down his forehead and onto the memorial, he just picked up the handkerchief wipe off.This is a pain for Wang Fu, who is wide and fat. He wiped his sweat with his sleeves from time to time, and his back was already soaked in sweat. It was really uncomfortable to keep up with an emperor who didn't know how to enjoy himself.

It was past noon, the sun was gradually moving towards the west, and most of the memorials on the table had been processed. Wang Fu handed over a plate of frozen fruits that had just been presented, and quietly placed them by Hedichi's hand.

He Dichi leaned back on the chair, finally willing to rest for a while, he relaxed his whole body, picked up a piece of fruit, and asked, "Did someone bring it here again?"

Wang Fu replied with a smile: "It's the third prince. He really has a heart. Every day at this time, someone will send some things over. He changes the pattern every day, but it still suits the emperor's taste."

He Dichi said with satisfaction: "How can he be so careful, it's because someone around him reminded him."

Wang Fu secretly looked at the emperor's expression, seeing that He Dichi didn't mean to blame, but showed approval on his face, secretly relieved, thinking to himself that nothing in the palace can be hidden from the emperor, this matter, we have to start from the beginning rise.

The crown prince was in confinement, and the construction of the Jiufang Palace fell to He Yaodu. Xia Liangxi had already reported to the Ministry of Industry on time, and he didn't mention a word about the demotion, without any complaints, and concentrated on his work.He discussed with Zong Qixiu several times, determined the preliminary plan, asked the court architect to draw up the blueprint, and made a small model for the emperor to review.The Jiufang Hall with nine squares and nine edges is exquisite and exquisite. The display rooms inside are divided into categories, corresponding to the treasures that Zong Qixiu initially sorted out.Each treasure is placed separately in a wooden box according to its size and shape, and the name, source, allusion, etc. are marked with simple official script on it, so that it is easy to find.He Dichi praised this very much, and specially rewarded He Dichi, Zong Qixiu, Xia Liangxi and others.After receiving the reward, Zong Qixiu handed it over to the stylist in the court. He Dichi knew about it and didn't blame him.

As the weather gradually heated up, Zong Qixiu suggested to He Yaodu that the kitchen should cook more meals for the craftsmen to cool off the heat.He inadvertently heard Wang Fu mention that the emperor was unwilling to add ice cubes in the palace to cool down the heat, so he politely reminded He Yaodu to bring some food to the emperor every afternoon to cool down the heat.The recipes were discussed by Zong Qixiu, the Imperial Dining Room and the Imperial Hospital. The varieties are different every day. Sometimes it is the traditional yoghurt of the He nationality, but it has been iced with ice cubes. Sometimes it is some milk tea, but it is added with wild honey. It is the famous white fungus soup and ice lotus seed porridge in the south of the Yangtze River of the Han nationality. Sometimes it is frozen fruit, peeled and removed the core, and the mix of varieties is changed. , and can prevent heatstroke and cool down.

He Dichi knew that his children were not so careful, not to mention a man like He Yaodu, even the concubines in his harem would not pay attention to such delicate things. One point, you don't need to ask to know who it is.

It's a pity it's not his person!pity!

The construction of Jiufang Temple has entered the stage of material calculation. Zong Qixiu and He Yaodu are both laymen, and they mainly rely on Xia Liangxi, so He Yaodu is free.

He Dichi thought about sending some more errands to He Yaodu. As the third son, he is more and more in line with his wishes. It's time for him to practice well. Recently, he gradually feels that his health is not as good as before, but the prince is not as good as him I mean, the matter of the prince really gave him a headache.

Every day, there is only this time, which can make the hard-working emperor feel comfortable for a while, and remember the matter of the crown prince, and he has to feel sad.

When a plate of fruit was used up, Wang Fu removed the plate, walked out of the palace door, and gave it to the little eunuch waiting outside. This little eunuch was also sent by He Yaodu. Every day, different desserts come with different plates. Look , how caring.

A tall, burly man with gray hair hurriedly walked towards him. It was General Zheng Tuo.

Wang Fu hurriedly lowered his head and greeted the general. Zheng Tuo nodded slightly and walked quickly into the hall.

Wang Fu consciously closed the door of the hall. The favor received by General Zheng was beyond the imagination of outsiders. He could directly enter the Hall of Mental Cultivation without notification. Only General Zheng had this honor in the civil and military dynasties including the harem.But General Zheng Da has always been humble, and every time he asks Wang Fu to inform first, and only enters after getting the emperor's permission, this is the first time this is the case.Wang Fuping backed away from the guards at the door and stood alone.

At the gate of the hall, silently guarding the secrets in the hall.

After half a stick of incense, there was a crisp sound of porcelain falling to the ground in the hall, and then Hedi Chi's majestic voice came out through the thick hall door: "Beast!"

Wang Fu closed his eyes and shook his head lightly. This "beast" was not an ordinary person's scolding!

Immediately afterwards, General Zheng Da plopped and knelt on the ground, persuading: "Your Majesty, take care of the dragon's body!"

It's going to change!Wang Fu raised his eyelids, looked at the scorching sun, and muttered in his heart.

Overnight, news spread throughout the capital that General Zhengxi had lost the battle, and the mighty and other places he had previously conquered were easily taken back by the Western Allied Forces. The momentum of the siege is fierce, and I don't know how long Yumen Pass can be defended.In less than a week, someone who came back from doing business in the northwest said that General Zhengxi was self-willed and offended the gods of the western tribes.

For a while, the hearts of the people in the capital were in a trance. It has been more than 30 years since Hedichi became the leader of the He clan, and they have never had a defeat. They are all waiting for the good news of the General Zhengxi!

When He Yaodu heard the news, it was already the second day after Zheng Tuo met He Dichi. In the early court, Zheng Tuo went up to report the matter to the Ministry of War. , The emperor wants to drive himself to conquer!

On the same day, the emperor issued a decree to expedite the transmission of Yumenguan at eight hundred miles, and escort He Yaoyue, the general who conquered the west, back to Beijing for trial, and the army was temporarily led by the deputy general.
