Against the Dream of Red Mansions: The Phoenix Comes to the World Lin Daiyu

Last time it was said that Xue Baochai stayed in Yining Palace and talked with Jia Yuanchun until the third watch. Jia Yuanchun was in a good mood and said to Baoqin:

"Fortunately, this Xue Baochai is a scheming person. As expected, I saw the right person. Although this plan is not a good one, it will allow me and the emperor to deal with each other once."

Baoqin also helped and complimented for a while, which put Jia Yuanchun in a good mood, and then she fell asleep, recharging her energy overnight, waiting for the next day's good show.

The next day, after Xuanming's morning court, he discussed border matters with the ministers at the Military Aircraft Office until Shen Shifang returned to the Hall of Mental Cultivation. After changing clothes, he asked the father-in-law to serve tea. Zhao Xian, the chief eunuch, asked someone to go to Lin Daiyu to make an agreement: " The emperor has worked hard today, so he needs to prepare more teas to nourish the heart and relieve internal heat."

In the tea room, Lin Daiyu took a little of the five herbal teas of schisandra, eclipta, green fruit, Ophiopogon japonicus, and Scutellaria chinensis, added rock sugar and boiled slowly, knowing that Xuanming likes the taste of ice, so she put the tea in the ice room. Three or five hours later, when the little eunuch came to ask for tea, he sent someone to bring it up.

Xuan Ming saw that today's tea is different from the past: it is a five-dragon cup carved out of snowflake silver, the color of the tea is bright green, with a little ice stubble in it.Knowing that it wasn't the Qiuzhen tea that she used to drink, she couldn't help but smile, thinking: "Unexpectedly, Lin Daiyu seems to be following the rules, but she still has some naughty little girls' thoughts, tinkering with some novelties, which are still useful. The most important thing is the snowflake silverware, otherwise I really have to doubt whether it is poisonous..."

While thinking about it, he put the tea into his mouth, tasted a little, only felt that the tea was bitter but astringent, and there was fragrance in the astringent, after drinking it, he really felt his eyes cleared and his heart relaxed.

Father-in-law Zhao Xian saw Xuanming's rare dragon face soothed after drinking the tea, and knew that this was what he wanted, so he stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, this tea was made by Lin Shanggong early this morning. The effect of nourishing the heart and eliminating internal heat. Lin Shanggong said that the emperor has been busy with official duties recently, which consumes a lot of effort, so he checked more than a dozen tea books before he came up with the prescription."

Xuanming was overjoyed in his heart, but then felt that he was ridiculous, and laughed at himself: "The surrender of the whole world is not as good as Lin Daiyu's hard work in a confrontation. Could it be that I don't love you as the ancients said?" Did Jiangshan love beauties?" Xuanming was sipping the tea, when suddenly a eunuch came to report: "Your Majesty, the old matriarch, the old palace scholar, the old Zhangluan, the minister of security, and the former prince's wife 26 senior ministers, including the teacher, the prince and the grand master, and Lao Shangshu, came to have an audience."

A sneer flashed across Xuan Ming's lips, he drank the tea in his hand and said, "Xuan!"

Dozens of veterans walked in tremblingly, kneeling together in the center of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, shouting long live.

Xuan Ming seemed to have known about the fact that these dozens of old ministers came to see him, he told them to flatten without changing their expressions, and asked in a pretentious manner: "I haven't seen you for a long time, are you still in good health? Are you the late emperor?" Respected old minister, if there is any important matter, it is enough for the children and grandchildren to come and give the performance, why bother to come here in person?"

The veterans expressed their thanks one after another, but they knelt down again, and the old grand master kowtowed and said: "Your Majesty, now there is peace in all directions, there are no famine refugees, and spring plantings have been planted in all provinces. It is the year of Da'an, and the weather is favorable. The emperor's protection is granted, and the country is peaceful and the people are safe. The old minister suddenly has something to say, but he doesn't know whether to say it or not!"

Xuanming knew what their intentions were for coming this time, but he had to listen patiently to the end of their babbling, raised his eyebrows and looked at the Taishi Taifu and the others indifferently: "Ai Qing has something to say, there is no need to beat around the bush. "

"The emperor has come to stand for a year, but now there are only a handful of concubines in the harem. The emperor, the continuation of the royal blood is the top priority. The country cannot live without a king, and the country cannot live without a queen. The old ministers come here today. I only beg the emperor to confer Empress, enrich the harem, recruit virtuous concubines, spread branches and leaves, and stabilize the country!" The old ministers bowed their heads again, and there was a sense of solemnity in their clear and powerful voices, as if they would persuade the emperor even if they were dismissed.

Xuan Ming lightly raised the corners of his lips, squinted at the old ministers who were kneeling on the ground in the dark, and told Zhao Xiangong with a cold voice: "There is no one within ten feet of the gate of the Palace of Nurturing Heart."

Xuan Ming was famous for being cold-blooded and ruthless before he came to the throne, murderous without batting an eye, bloodthirsty, cruel... All the cruel words in the world can be used to describe Xuan Ming.On the contrary, Xuanming, who became the emperor, settled down instead. Even in the court, even if he encountered a crisis, he would not be angry and dealt with it calmly.The fear that Xuanming would become a generation of tyrants when he ascended the throne has long since dissipated.But now Xuan Ming ordered the gate of the Palace of Mental Cultivation to be closed... This is clearly a very confidential matter... Could it be that they want to kill people? !

The palace gate creaked shut, and the dark wind blew in, making all the veterans tremble with fright.

Xuan Ming stood up from the dragon chair, walked down the imperial steps, walked slowly among the veterans, closed his eyes and let out a long breath of relief.The veterans didn't even dare to breathe, and only listened to Xuanming's way: "All the lovers are the people who the late emperor relied on. Is it not enough to have meritorious service and inherit the title from generation to generation? Among you are veterans of the three dynasties, and you have experienced ups and downs. Why don't you even understand the principle of 'when the water is full, it overflows, and the moon is full, then it loses'? Advise me to 'accept virtuous concubines'? Don't I know how many daughters of your family have been sent to Chuxiu Palace to wait for me? Canonization?"

The old ministers who talked in one word felt guilty and couldn't speak any more. Only Lord Wang, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, had no daughter and had no plans to climb the dragon and the phoenix, so he bowed his head confidently and bowed again: "Your Majesty! The old ministers are loyal, all for the sake of the country and the country Ah, please Your Majesty sympathize with the painstaking efforts of the courtiers."

Xuanming walked to the front of Lord Wang, and the tall figure gave Lord Wang a sense of coercion when he was kneeling on the ground, and immediately made Lord Wang less aura by seven points.Xuanming said: "My lord Wang is so noble and upright, he is considerate of the common people in the world. I really admire him. It's just that I don't know something, and I want to ask lord Wang for advice."

Master Wang trembled all over, bowed his head and said: "I dare not!"

"As the Minister of Rites, Mr. Wang must have already known the truth that the country cannot live without children, why didn't he speak to me earlier, but knelt down in front of me with all the ministers after meeting the Queen Mother in the morning? "

As soon as the words "Empress Dowager Yuan" came out, all the veterans in the hall were terrified because they were poked at the vital point, and they all bowed their heads and remained silent.

Xuan Ming strolled back to the dragon chair, and drew out the sword with a swipe, the cold light seemed to pierce everyone's heart, making all the old Chen shudder, and they all shouted: "The emperor knows the truth, the emperor spares his life."

Through the cold light of the sharp sword, Xuan Ming saw his own face reflected on the sword. The evil spirit on that face has long since faded away. Why are these veterans still so afraid of him?I can't help but sigh in my heart.

"All lovers, let's live in peace."

The veterans thought they heard it wrong, and they clearly felt the atmosphere that the emperor was going to kill, why did they let themselves die again?It is clear that just now is the rhythm of losing his head!Can't help but look at each other, not daring to move.

"I said I'll let you all die!" Xuan Ming said slightly angrily.

Without saying a word, the veterans didn't dare to delay, they all stood up quickly and stared blankly at Xuanming.

With a warning in her phoenix eyes, Xuanming glanced coldly at the officials below, and said in a majestic voice: "In the first three dynasties since the first emperor, the harem concubines have been fighting constantly. All the lovers have experienced it. How many tragedies have been caused by harem battles? Is it not enough? It will continue to the current dynasty? The favor of concubines in the harem will make a family prosperous, but there are also many people who implicate the nine clans because of the concubine's loss of power. Don't you just see the scenery? Do you not consider your life? Zhao Xian, imitate my will: All my people, whoever interferes with the royal marriage, will be executed! If there is a concubine in the harem colluding with the courtiers, beheaded! If the courtier wins over the concubine in the harem, the nine clans will be implicated!"

For a moment, the air seemed to be frozen in the main hall of the Hall of Mental Cultivation. After Xuan Ming promulgated the decree, he walked away in a huff.
