Twilight collected
Chapter 12
The sound of palace chariots is coming, the emerald front is faint, the bead curtain is rolling leisurely, and the coral is a hook.
Looking from a distance, the Dechi Palace is brightly lit, but there are no fragrant muscles, hairpins hanging down, and only rhinoceros armor and sandalwood guns, with a cold light.
In the deep night, the Qionghan Gate is full of soldiers, swords and halberds, all of whom are the retinues of important military officials.When the general enters the hall, his people wait here, and are not allowed to enter the inner ban lightly.Hanxuan led a group of palace servants to inspect them carefully and waited in full force, lest someone stray from the crowd and cause trouble.
After everything was at ease, Hanxuan told Qingrui to stay behind, and went to Dechi Palace by himself.
The shadows of lamps and lanterns pass down through the window screens, and the shadows of candles are mottled all over the place, making the night dim and blurred.
Seeing Hanxuan coming, someone from the night palace asked in a low voice: "Master, do you want to pass it on?"
"It doesn't matter. Your Majesty is discussing affairs with important ministers inside. I don't dare to disturb you lightly. Wait for a while."
Listening carefully, it seems that behind the carved windows and embroidered screens, there is a gloomy cloud.
Everyone in the hall looked ashen, their brows furrowed deeply, and they kept silent like cicadas, only letting the golden beast incense be sold, and the copper leaks never ceased.
In the end, the emperor couldn't wait for a long time, so he scattered the scrolls in his hand into the hall, and said sharply: "He has arrived, and the army has been pruned, and the situation is like a broken bamboo, but here there is nothing to do. What use are you waiting for!"
All the generals in the hall bowed their heads in silence.There was an old minister who said slowly: "The son of King Jiji raised his army because of his father's violent death in the palace, and he blamed his majesty. If you can investigate carefully, find out the truth of the day, and find out the truth of the day, you can break his reason for leaving the army. name. If he does not know how to restrain himself and is obsessed with obsession, then His Majesty punishes rape and eradicates evil, and it is justified."
The emperor only hated to say: "If there is a clue to check, I will listen to it early, how can I allow him to catch the wind and confuse the people. Now even the soul of that useless leader has returned to Jiuyou. There is no reason for this matter." Case!"
Concubine Yan's younger brother, Xi Yiran, is the admiral of Nine Cities and is in charge of Antai, Gyeonggi, so he is also listed here.Seeing the situation in the hall, he opened his mouth and said: "The Xun Tianque's army must have been planned long ago, and his father died suddenly, but it was just an excuse for him. If there is no such thing, he will rebel sooner or later. Therefore, for today's plan, hurry up Send good generals to meet the enemy and attack the bandits, so as to keep safe."
"My lord's words are very true. This is an unreasonable case to order An Keping, and the disaster of war is inevitable. I don't know if your Majesty has a decision in his mind?"
The emperor's face was gloomy, and the palace lanterns were shining, but it was difficult to compete with the night. Under the dusk, the emperor could only see paleness on his face.After a while, he said quietly: "When it comes to military exploits and talents, Wei Rang will be light..."
"No!" Xi Yi suddenly said, "I have heard about it for a long time. He was stationed in Jindu in his early years and had many contacts with Si Chengping, the favorite general of King Juji. Hurry up son-in-law. If he rebels before the battle, the country will be destroyed, and it is absolutely impossible to be dangerous and lucky."
The emperor nodded slightly, thought over and over again, and replied: "My younger brother, King Hengqian, also used to hold the armor and hold the sharp edge, and fought fiercely in the wild."
Someone in the hall replied: "The prince is far away from the back cover, and the military power will be released a few months ago. At this time, it is easy to get upset. If you work together with the rebels and form a horn, and the soldiers take the capital, it will be like picking something out of a bag."
The emperor was a little anxious, and said helplessly: "In the opinion of Er and others, who should I give the soldier talisman to?"
Everyone was at a loss for words for a while, but the last person carefully said: "Master Xi is loyal and courageous. He has devoted himself to his duties for many years, made outstanding achievements, and is His Majesty's brother-in-law. He is the most worthy of responsibility."
This remark was reckless, everyone in the palace restrained themselves and did not dare to look at the emperor's expression.
After pondering for a moment, the emperor finally said: "The matter of the Nine Cities is of great importance. It is in the center of the axis and cannot be changed temporarily. Wait and see, but there are others..."
Hanxuan felt serious, so he didn't want to listen any more, turned around and was about to retreat, and whispered to the man on duty at night: "Your Majesty may not have time for trifles, I still have official duties, and I will come back later."
Just turned out of the De Chi Palace, met Zhi Yu, saw no one around, and hurriedly said: "Go to Xunxi to see you! Today, there are all retinues from various families outside the Yujin Pavilion. I'm afraid it will be inconvenient. I just teach him to go to the bridge that day." Meet."
As soon as Zhiyu left, Hanxuan picked up a palace lantern and walked towards the secluded forest with thousands of trees.
The voices of people are getting thinner, and the sound of beating the watchman can't be heard clearly.Autumn is long and cold, and the singing gnats are dying away, only listening to a little bit of pines, accompanied by the occasional cry of night sparrows.
Hearing the rustling sound, he was horrified in his heart, and looked intently, only to see Xi Jianyi walking from the forest with a small lamp.
Han Xuan hurriedly asked: "As I said earlier, have you ever entered the Xi family?"
"I'm just serving the tea, I haven't gotten close yet. And Lu Yan is close by to accompany me. If I act rashly, I'm afraid it will attract people's suspicion."
"This matter is urgent." Hanxuan turned to ask, "I once heard Tianque say that there is a sapphire on Xi's red crown with clusters of pistils, which was originally on his father's crown?"
"I've seen it before, and it's quite similar, but it's undeniable."
"It doesn't matter." Hanxuan looked more calm, "I will inform the people who are placed in Xi's residence, and they will make the best use of them in the near future."
Han Xuan's expression was slightly compressed, Xi Jian also nodded, and the two dispersed separately, hiding themselves in the forest wind.
Waiting for Dexi to return to the Maoyuan Hall, and seeing that the drums have been beaten for the second watch, he is about to serve tea in for Concubine Yan Gui to rinse her mouth and settle down.
The person was still outside the bead curtain, and faintly saw someone from the palace entering, and whispered to Luyan: "My lord, let the palace secretary come, and tell the foreign ministers to enter tonight, the Maoyuan Hall is not far from the Qionghan Gate, in case something happens , if there is a matter of defense, it should be explained to the adults in charge."
Concubine Yangui was reclining on the couch, closing her eyes and resting her mind, she lightly lifted her jade hand, and Luyan tiptoed away.Seeing that Xi understood that this was Hanxuan's intention, he offered the tea cup alone and quietly entered the bedroom.
Xi Jian knelt beside the couch, raised the teacup over his head, and offered it in front of Concubine Yangui: "Your Majesty, it's time for the second watch, and it's time to wash and arrange."
Only then did Concubine Yangui calm down, lifted the teacup lightly, and said calmly: "It's already the second watch."
Xi Jian timidly said: "The minister just fetched water, and saw that there are soldiers armored outside the Yujin Pavilion, the empress should pay attention..."
Concubine Yan Gui lazily said: "It's not His Majesty's nephew, who is really insane, and actually started a rebellion, making this palace unsafe."
Xi Jianfu said in a low voice: "In my humble opinion, this matter is not all fraudulent. When I see someone from your mother's family entering the palace, I think it must be summoned by an adult. If your majesty entrusts you with important tasks, the general will defeat the enemy and return triumphantly." If you make meritorious deeds, His Majesty will love your empress even more, and your ministers will be honored as well."
Concubine Yangui smiled without saying a word, took a sip of her tea, and said "talkative", but she didn't seem to blame her.
At this time, when Luyan returns, Xixi retreats silently.
For more than ten days after that, the emperor suffered from military affairs and never entered the harem.Concubine Yangui asked to see her many times but was unable to see her, so she also stopped her flag and drums.However, the generals have not yet been decided, so there is a feeling of anxiety before going to the harem.
Hanxuan stood still and watched the situation quietly. Several letters from Liang Xun said that there was nothing wrong there, and Hanxuan never had any problems in the forbidden area.
Due to the complicated military affairs, the emperor seldom left the Dechi Palace except in the Yaozhuo Palace.Therefore, Hanxuan had to lead a group of palace people to deliver breakfast to the palace.
In front of the feather fan on the emerald screen, the emperor looked more and more haggard, his brows and eyes were anxious, and the wind and rain were blowing.When Hanxuan was serving food, I still put it on the case and read a volume of urgent reports.
After looking at it hastily, the emperor threw the memorial in his hand into the palace, thinking he was really angry.Han Xuan was slightly stunned, and said as usual: "Your Majesty, take care of your body."
"Take care? Its capital has broken through Handu, and it is about to reach Xuanshui, but there are no generals available in the court. Teach me how to take care! Several generals defending the city, Qu Gu Juhu, are extremely useless. When the army is in front, they must surrender and protect themselves. How can you expect him to sacrifice his life to defend against the enemy."
"People in the court have their own ulterior motives, and their hearts are tied, so it is inevitable that they will be honored and honored. Your Majesty is careful and decisive." Han Xuan stood by the side, watching the emperor's expression vigilantly.
"Yes!" Seeing the emperor's eyes turned hard, "Xuan Shui has already entered the fiefdom of the King of Zou, so teach his family to go to Beijing to avoid disaster, and then give him the Tiger Talisman, teach him to fight against the enemy."
Hanxuan's heart turned cold, the royal family's kindness, the brother's quarrel, but that's it.I can't help but recall Tianque, and my mind is ups and downs again.
But there is no time to think about it, Han Xuan knows that the general is determined, and this is a good opportunity.So when he came out of the hall, he immediately said to Zhi Yu, "Let's go to Zhihui River to see you, it's today."
Seeing that Fang got the news, Xi also wanted to wait for the opportunity to move, and always pay attention to the situation in the palace.
After lunch, Concubine Yan looked tired and drowsy, so she dispatched all the people in the inner hall.Called a few words in a low voice, and seeing that Lu Yan was not there, he said angrily to himself: "After all, it is my palace, the Maoyuan Hall, which is not good. Whenever there are foreign ministers who face saints, they always make alarmist remarks. They are afraid that something will happen to my palace, so they only teach Lu Yanri If you go to lead the palace secretary to work for a day, you are not allowed to serve the palace."
Seeing that he was standing outside the curtain with his body bowed, Xixi heard this and saw no one around, so he calmed down a little and came closer.
"Your Majesty, forgive me. There is an urgent letter from the house. I can't find the master in charge. When I see my servant serving tea, I will enter the hall, so I will be served by the minister, which disturbs my slumber." Offer, "I think it's because of the urgency, this letter is also a little wet with sweat, the empress's body is beautiful, I should read it for you."
Concubine Yangui was dressed in gold-woven tulle pajamas, her eyebrows were slightly raised, and when Xixi saw it, she spread it out in faith and presented it in front of her eyes.Concubine Yangui frowned and looked at the scroll, seeing the ink marks in it, they were slightly blurred, but luckily the handwriting was still legible.
Concubine Yangui finished reading, stared at her eyes for a long time, and then murmured: "Go and lead the palace secretary to call Luyan back, I have something important to do."
Xi Jian went away in response.Leaving one of them alone, in this splendid hall, worries darkened.
Leaving the Maoyuan Hall and walking to the leader of the palace, he bumped into Zhiyu.Taking advantage of people's unpreparedness, Xi saw that he put something in his hand, so he went to look for Luyan.Since Zhiyu saw Hanxuan, Hanxuan could only calm down and welcome the approaching storm.
Xu Yin was determined to be the general of the war, the emperor relaxed his mind a little, and had a lot of dinner.Seeing this, Hanxuan hurriedly entered with a candlestick, bowed in front of the emperor's case, and said lightly: "Your Majesty is in a good mood today, not as sad as in the past, so I dare to say something boldly. The imperial concubine has visited many times a few days ago. I am afraid that I will disturb the emperor." Please excuse me politely, and now I ask your majesty to come down."
The emperor spoke lightly, and only said: "Although you are new to the inner court, in terms of human relations, you are by no means inferior to the former. You don't need to worry about it."
Seeing Han Xuan holding the candlestick, the emperor seemed a little interested, so he blew on the tallest one, "He has been neglected for many days, let's go and see him today."
Hanxuan secretly laughed in his heart, and only withdrew the dinner one by one, and passed on the order.When the moon was on the branch, the emperor was sent into the Maoyuan Hall.
Concubine Yangui was overjoyed and greeted her politely.After bathing and grooming, he will wait for the emperor to change clothes.The red candle warming lamp illuminated the two emperors and concubines, their faces flushed red.
On the pillow mat, Concubine Yan Gui was lying coquettishly, embracing the emperor's arm, and said cunningly: "The concubine heard that the war is lingering, and the people in the court are unable to discuss it. Does your majesty have a countermeasure?"
The emperor was tired and lay down with his eyes closed: "You know it too."
Concubine Yangui pondered over and over again, and finally said: "Your Majesty has accumulated great achievements over the years, the world is unified, the court is clean, and all the officials are sincere. Thieves and disasters will happen. Although they are not to be feared, they still need to be dealt with. Your Majesty might as well pretend to have military power. It is also an opportunity for the courtiers to be loyal."
The corner of the emperor's mouth twitched slightly, and after a while, Concubine Yangui panicked a little, and said unhurriedly: "In your opinion, who is worthy of this job?"
Concubine Yan Gui smiled: "Since the emperor knows the selfishness of the ministers and concubines, why do you ask the ministers and concubines instead?"
The emperor was silent for a long time, and finally said wearily: "You should spend less time thinking about court affairs. Go to sleep."
Concubine Yangui felt melancholy, seeing the emperor was restless and tired, lying quietly beside her, she had nothing to say, she also rolled up her blue hair, put down the curtains, and turned around to fall asleep.
Only the emperor's breathing rises and falls in the ears, the night wind suddenly blows, and the curtains move, and the cicadas and birds sometimes disappear, and everything is completely silent for a while.
The sky is gone, and the bright moon is coming.Good night and quiet night, nine days are clear, and even the sorrow and serious illness have dissipated a little.
However, the palace people had not yet entered the hall to turn off the lights, but they heard the commotion.Concubine Yangui woke up immediately and turned to look at the gate of the palace.I saw someone stumbling and knocking open the heavy palace gates.
The emperor was also aware of it, but saw that Concubine Yangui was already in her body, she lifted the curtain and came out, standing in front of the royal driver.
When people got close, they saw that it was Han Xuan.Han Xuan said loudly, "Your Majesty, forgive me", then grabbed Concubine Yan Gui's jade neck and pressed her back against the wall.
"Presumptuous!" The emperor yelled, but Hanxuan never let go, and only held the frightened Concubine Yangui tightly in his palm.
"Your Majesty, calm down!" Han Xuan didn't change his expression, he just shouted back, "Come here, escort."
Then I saw Xijian rushing straight into the bedroom with a team of palace people.
The emperor was stunned, his eyes were about to split open: "Lei Hanxuan, it's against you!"
Seeing that the palace crowd had arrived, Hanxuan bent down and knelt down: "Your Majesty, I know that I have committed a crime of disrespect, and it is only for your majesty's safety. Please order to search the palace. If nothing is found, it will not be too late for your majesty to convict."
Concubine Yan Gui was also furious: "Bastard, my palace residence, do you search it when you say it?"
"Your Majesty, my ministers have a first-line report. Xi Yiran can't ask for power, and wants to use the noble concubine to interfere in politics. The palace servants come to report, and the two of them exchange letters. If this matter fails, they can turn against the lord and cooperate with the inside and outside to help the son of King Jiji enter the country." Lord Yuque, in order to seek fame." Han Xuan bowed his head, threw himself into the ground, and said nothing more.
Concubine Yangui turned pale with shock: "Nonsense! Brother, why did you ever say such inhumane words. You should have evidence for your slander."
Hanxuan took his time and called Xijian to come forward. Xijian respected Su and bowed down, bearing a letter on top of his head.
The emperor took it and read it.After reading it briefly, I just handed the letter in front of Concubine Yan Gui, and said lightly: "Look for yourself."
Concubine Yangui went in without knowing it, took it and read it.After only reading a few lines, he stood with his lips and teeth, his face pale: "Your Majesty, someone must have transferred this letter. What I saw today is definitely not the case!"
"Your younger brother has been an official in the court for many years, and I can still recognize his handwriting!" The emperor was not angry, but only squinted at Concubine Yangui, his eyes were sullen and unreadable.Concubine Yangui couldn't bear the emperor's behavior, so she lost her position for a while, and said decisively: "Search! I want to see what is in this bedroom, so I can hinder you."
The emperor remained calm, and when Xixi saw that he was acting well, he led a group of palace people to rummaging through boxes and boxes, and drove away in a hurry.When Xixi saw him, he stayed in front of the three of them and checked them on the couch.
While groping, I suddenly heard a little hissing in the creek.Han Xuan raised his head immediately, and asked seriously, "What's the matter?"
Xi Jian timidly said: "There seems to be a sharp weapon between the pillows, and this subject hurts me."
Han Xuan clenched his teeth tightly: "Open it and have a look!"
When Xi saw it, he carefully opened the pillow and found a short dagger on the brocade quilt and jade pillow.
The emperor immediately became agitated, fixedly looked at the distraught Concubine Yan Gui, and asked sharply: "How can you hide a sharp weapon on your couch?"
Concubine Yangui only cried pear blossoms and rain: "I don't know, Your Majesty, I have been wronged..."
At this moment, Hanxuan calmed himself down: "Your Majesty, I have the courage to ask for an order, and search the body of the empress, I am afraid there will be surprises."
The emperor thought for a moment: "Let me come in person!"
The emperor moved neatly, and from time to time he took out something from his arms, which seemed to be jewelry or jade.The emperor just glanced at it, and then sternly said, "Why do you have the military amulet of the admiral of the Nine Cities on your body?"
Concubine Yangui was sleepy and worried about the city, committed herself to the ground, and wept blindly.Suddenly aroused, furious, pointed at Han Xuan and said: "It's you! You must have framed me! Slandering my palace! You must be a bitch. Recently, I have frequently transferred my maidservants away, so you can install an inner ghost to lure me out. Such an innocent disaster!"
Hanxuan's expression was calm: "Your Majesty, be careful, you can tell at a glance whether your subordinates are planning to frame you, please come down with me."
The situation in the palace has long since had no way out.The crowd went up to a high platform in the nearby palace named Fufeng Pavilion.
Fufeng Pavilion is condescending, overlooking the imperial city.I can only see the green sky is sweaty, the stars are shining, accompanied by the slight clouds, and the new moon is like a hook.Under the sky, the lights in the capital city were as usual, and everything was safe.But the focus of everyone's eyes is outside the palace wall, in the dense forest.At first glance, it is not noticeable, but when you look closely, you can only feel that there are dots of lights all over the mountains and plains, wandering back and forth, faintly pressing under the palace wall.
The two emperors and concubines had already lost their color, and they were stunned.On the contrary, Hanxuan was decisive, and said: "Now the situation is critical, and I hope His Majesty will issue an order to urgently call Yubayashi to escort him."
The emperor was at a loss: "As you said, do it quickly!"
Han Xuan raised his hand, and when he saw the river beside him, he left the cabinet and left.But the emperor leaned on the railing again to watch, the cloud on his face remained unchanged, and asked Han Xuan: "Why did today's matter come to this?"
"The matter of the letter, when the palace servants came to report it, the minister thought it was ridiculous, so he didn't pay attention. But when the minister was about to leave the palace and go back to the mansion, he saw that there seemed to be lights in the forest. When he looked closely, he saw the soldier in armor in a trance. On top of it is the peony decoration."
"Is it the guard of Xi's mansion?"
The emperor looked at him with contempt, and no matter how hard Concubine Yan could hold herself back, she threw herself at Hanxuan, cursing angrily: "The slut is cunning, he set up a scheme to murder, Your Majesty, don't trust me!"
Hanxuan dodged lightly, and only replied: "As the imperial concubine said, the minister also felt that something was wrong, but when he saw Lord Xi's carriage approaching from a distance, he felt something was wrong, arranged for Yulin to stand by, and then rashly entered the Maoyuan Palace .”
When this matter happened, a palace official stumbled into the Fufeng Pavilion, panting anxiously: "Report to Your Majesty, Admiral Dao of Jiucheng has something to ask to see you."
"Did you say when?"
"It's just a matter of military affairs, and it must be presented face-to-face."
Hanxuan said: "I think that the intention of the visitor is not yet clear, so it is not appropriate to open the palace gate lightly. I just wait for Yulin to disperse the encircling soldiers and hold down Mr. Xi, and then please enter the inner court for further questioning."
The emperor sighed silently: "Putting up Dechi Palace, I'll see how you speak, brothers and sisters."
Because of military affairs, the emperor only ordered Hanxuan to stand behind the painting screen.Through the color of teeth and silk, it can be seen that the mountain is located outside of Yale, and the two are worried about themselves, and they have no way to argue.
"Your Majesty is aware that the soldier's talisman has been stolen, and the matter is of great importance. I dare not not enter the palace immediately to plead guilty, in order to prevent changes in the elbow and armpit. My sister has been working hard for half her life, and she is steadfast, and she has no wrong heart. As for how the soldier's talisman arrived at the elder sister's palace. In the middle, I really don't know."
Concubine Yangui was still angry and scolded: "Concubine concubine recalls today's events, it must be that Lei Shi had planned for a long time, placed elaborate work in the concubine's palace, dispatched servants, stole tiger charms, exchanged letters, and placed sharp knives in between. All kinds of things are just trying to put my Xi family to death. My family has been loyal and good for generations, and I dare not take credit for it. I hope Your Majesty will see clearly, so that the treacherous and sycophant will not become a disaster for the court."
The emperor remained silent for a long time, just looking at the two of them.When the lights and candles were turned off, the figures of the two shrank slightly.
"I have been raised in the palace since I was a child. For more than forty years, I have long been familiar with conspiracies and schemes. There is indeed something strange about today's incident. It is clearly coming to you two, but I have to think about it." If you two took the risk and acted in the opposite direction, if I trusted you lightly, I would get rid of the Lei family. I think that on the day of the palace selection, you intended to be born of your own family..."
"Your Majesty! Regarding the selection of the palace, the courtiers and concubines have carefully investigated it. There is indeed someone in my family who participated in the election, but he has disappeared since he left the palace. The courtiers and concubines also..."
"That's all!" The emperor said in a deep voice, "Are you afraid that this is the work of the Lei family? I have always treated you and your brother with kindness and indulgence. If you are arrogant, I will I don't intend to lighten the blame, but you two should also understand that the Lei family is the only one who hates you two in the court?"
Hearing these words, the two dared not answer any more.On the blue stone, some water can be seen, probably because of the sweat flowing from the foreheads of the two of them.
"It doesn't matter if the two of you are unintentional, or other people set up a situation to cause trouble. I am close and the military plane is busy, and I can't bear it. I don't want to go into it. Even so, the crime of lax palace management and bad talisman should not be taken lightly. What's more, the heart of the two of you to invite power is obvious to all. According to my decree, the noble concubine is forbidden to enter the Maoyuan Palace, fasting and thinking about her mistakes, and she will not come out without an edict. Xi Yiran, you don't need to lead the soldiers and horses of the Nine Cities, just stay at home and meditate Cultivation of virtue is paramount."
The two of them didn't dare to cry and beg anymore, they just said "Thank you Lord Long En" mournfully, and the palace servants helped him away.
On the emperor's slanted case, his face was full of thick clouds, his eyes were reddish, and he was even more depressed amidst the golden and pearly luster of the painting.
Hanxuan came out quietly and knelt before the case, not daring to move rashly.Today's soldiers are making dangerous moves and are eager for success. Hearing what Concubine Caiyan said just now, the emperor must have become suspicious, and if he is a little careless, he will lose everything.
"Since I have heard everything, I just want to see how you can explain it?" The emperor became more and more tired, and his expression became dull.
"My family is far away in the south of the Yangtze River, and no one is an official in the court. I have never had any contact with the Xi family, let alone a grudge. What I do is only for your Majesty's safety, and has no selfish intentions. As for what the noble concubine said, if someone sets up a situation to cause disaster, Then the subordinates are just the children in the game, and they are just planning for others." Han Xuan looked calm and knelt down.Little did he know, his back was already dripping with cold sweat, causing his heart to feel cold.
The emperor pondered for a long time, but Hanxuan didn't understand what it meant, and he couldn't help being overwhelmed inside, trembling with fear, and his Qi and blood were not smooth, so he knelt down for a while, but he was exhausted.
"I think it's because the fate is not blessed, and internal and external troubles are endless, so I am stretched. You have not been in the job for a long time, and you will inevitably be involved in the storm. In the old palace, it was too knowledgeable to take care of itself, and it will end up with endless troubles. It is not a good thing. Today I don't want to go into the matter carefully. How many people in the palace are innocent. The Xi family has become more and more disrespectful recently. Even if you are scheming today, I will only take the opportunity to beat you. If you think about it in the future, I will not be a fool .”
Han Xuan was also terrified, and forced himself to say: "Your Majesty will see clearly."
"Forget it, how can we understand the affairs in the palace. The war is the most important thing, so I don't want to think about it."
Hanxuan is like receiving amnesty, and the six gods return to their thrones.Slowly got up, lighted the incense burner, added incense bait, and suddenly a warm fragrance rose up, filling the sleeves, making people feel soft.
Han Xuan said softly: "Your Majesty has worked hard and has the responsibility of the family and the country. It should be settled as soon as possible. If there is no order, the minister will retire first."
The emperor nodded slightly.Han Xuan was about to retreat, when suddenly he saw a palace official entering the hall, and whispered something in Han Xuan's ear, Han Xuan looked back with a blushed face, hesitated and said nothing.
Seeing this state of affairs, the emperor was slightly displeased, and asked, "What happened again?"
Han Xuan lowered his eyebrows and said softly: "Miss Yunyuan was shocked to hear about the accident in the inner palace, she misses His Majesty, and wants to say hello to His Majesty."
In the middle of the night, the dew was heavy, recalling the attitude of the noble concubine Cai Yan, I couldn't help but blame myself for being arrogant to her.But for this Yunyuan, there are many harsh words, and I can't bear it.Thinking of this, the emperor became more and more gentle, and said: "Let him come in."
The door of the palace was opened, and I saw Lan Ze, dressed in a lilac color, with simple bead decorations, and she came here gracefully.Walking up to the front, she grinned her white teeth and said shyly: "The concubine heard a little about the things in the palace, but I really don't worry about your majesty. Now that your majesty is safe, I feel at ease. The concubine is rough and does not disturb your majesty. The concubine is about to rest. Retire."
The emperor only saw that under the gold and jade, this plain girl became more and more beautiful, and said with a smile: "Since you are here, let's stay."
The autumn rain is falling, unknowingly covering the dark night, the soft whispers, the rain and the clouds.
Looking from a distance, the Dechi Palace is brightly lit, but there are no fragrant muscles, hairpins hanging down, and only rhinoceros armor and sandalwood guns, with a cold light.
In the deep night, the Qionghan Gate is full of soldiers, swords and halberds, all of whom are the retinues of important military officials.When the general enters the hall, his people wait here, and are not allowed to enter the inner ban lightly.Hanxuan led a group of palace servants to inspect them carefully and waited in full force, lest someone stray from the crowd and cause trouble.
After everything was at ease, Hanxuan told Qingrui to stay behind, and went to Dechi Palace by himself.
The shadows of lamps and lanterns pass down through the window screens, and the shadows of candles are mottled all over the place, making the night dim and blurred.
Seeing Hanxuan coming, someone from the night palace asked in a low voice: "Master, do you want to pass it on?"
"It doesn't matter. Your Majesty is discussing affairs with important ministers inside. I don't dare to disturb you lightly. Wait for a while."
Listening carefully, it seems that behind the carved windows and embroidered screens, there is a gloomy cloud.
Everyone in the hall looked ashen, their brows furrowed deeply, and they kept silent like cicadas, only letting the golden beast incense be sold, and the copper leaks never ceased.
In the end, the emperor couldn't wait for a long time, so he scattered the scrolls in his hand into the hall, and said sharply: "He has arrived, and the army has been pruned, and the situation is like a broken bamboo, but here there is nothing to do. What use are you waiting for!"
All the generals in the hall bowed their heads in silence.There was an old minister who said slowly: "The son of King Jiji raised his army because of his father's violent death in the palace, and he blamed his majesty. If you can investigate carefully, find out the truth of the day, and find out the truth of the day, you can break his reason for leaving the army. name. If he does not know how to restrain himself and is obsessed with obsession, then His Majesty punishes rape and eradicates evil, and it is justified."
The emperor only hated to say: "If there is a clue to check, I will listen to it early, how can I allow him to catch the wind and confuse the people. Now even the soul of that useless leader has returned to Jiuyou. There is no reason for this matter." Case!"
Concubine Yan's younger brother, Xi Yiran, is the admiral of Nine Cities and is in charge of Antai, Gyeonggi, so he is also listed here.Seeing the situation in the hall, he opened his mouth and said: "The Xun Tianque's army must have been planned long ago, and his father died suddenly, but it was just an excuse for him. If there is no such thing, he will rebel sooner or later. Therefore, for today's plan, hurry up Send good generals to meet the enemy and attack the bandits, so as to keep safe."
"My lord's words are very true. This is an unreasonable case to order An Keping, and the disaster of war is inevitable. I don't know if your Majesty has a decision in his mind?"
The emperor's face was gloomy, and the palace lanterns were shining, but it was difficult to compete with the night. Under the dusk, the emperor could only see paleness on his face.After a while, he said quietly: "When it comes to military exploits and talents, Wei Rang will be light..."
"No!" Xi Yi suddenly said, "I have heard about it for a long time. He was stationed in Jindu in his early years and had many contacts with Si Chengping, the favorite general of King Juji. Hurry up son-in-law. If he rebels before the battle, the country will be destroyed, and it is absolutely impossible to be dangerous and lucky."
The emperor nodded slightly, thought over and over again, and replied: "My younger brother, King Hengqian, also used to hold the armor and hold the sharp edge, and fought fiercely in the wild."
Someone in the hall replied: "The prince is far away from the back cover, and the military power will be released a few months ago. At this time, it is easy to get upset. If you work together with the rebels and form a horn, and the soldiers take the capital, it will be like picking something out of a bag."
The emperor was a little anxious, and said helplessly: "In the opinion of Er and others, who should I give the soldier talisman to?"
Everyone was at a loss for words for a while, but the last person carefully said: "Master Xi is loyal and courageous. He has devoted himself to his duties for many years, made outstanding achievements, and is His Majesty's brother-in-law. He is the most worthy of responsibility."
This remark was reckless, everyone in the palace restrained themselves and did not dare to look at the emperor's expression.
After pondering for a moment, the emperor finally said: "The matter of the Nine Cities is of great importance. It is in the center of the axis and cannot be changed temporarily. Wait and see, but there are others..."
Hanxuan felt serious, so he didn't want to listen any more, turned around and was about to retreat, and whispered to the man on duty at night: "Your Majesty may not have time for trifles, I still have official duties, and I will come back later."
Just turned out of the De Chi Palace, met Zhi Yu, saw no one around, and hurriedly said: "Go to Xunxi to see you! Today, there are all retinues from various families outside the Yujin Pavilion. I'm afraid it will be inconvenient. I just teach him to go to the bridge that day." Meet."
As soon as Zhiyu left, Hanxuan picked up a palace lantern and walked towards the secluded forest with thousands of trees.
The voices of people are getting thinner, and the sound of beating the watchman can't be heard clearly.Autumn is long and cold, and the singing gnats are dying away, only listening to a little bit of pines, accompanied by the occasional cry of night sparrows.
Hearing the rustling sound, he was horrified in his heart, and looked intently, only to see Xi Jianyi walking from the forest with a small lamp.
Han Xuan hurriedly asked: "As I said earlier, have you ever entered the Xi family?"
"I'm just serving the tea, I haven't gotten close yet. And Lu Yan is close by to accompany me. If I act rashly, I'm afraid it will attract people's suspicion."
"This matter is urgent." Hanxuan turned to ask, "I once heard Tianque say that there is a sapphire on Xi's red crown with clusters of pistils, which was originally on his father's crown?"
"I've seen it before, and it's quite similar, but it's undeniable."
"It doesn't matter." Hanxuan looked more calm, "I will inform the people who are placed in Xi's residence, and they will make the best use of them in the near future."
Han Xuan's expression was slightly compressed, Xi Jian also nodded, and the two dispersed separately, hiding themselves in the forest wind.
Waiting for Dexi to return to the Maoyuan Hall, and seeing that the drums have been beaten for the second watch, he is about to serve tea in for Concubine Yan Gui to rinse her mouth and settle down.
The person was still outside the bead curtain, and faintly saw someone from the palace entering, and whispered to Luyan: "My lord, let the palace secretary come, and tell the foreign ministers to enter tonight, the Maoyuan Hall is not far from the Qionghan Gate, in case something happens , if there is a matter of defense, it should be explained to the adults in charge."
Concubine Yangui was reclining on the couch, closing her eyes and resting her mind, she lightly lifted her jade hand, and Luyan tiptoed away.Seeing that Xi understood that this was Hanxuan's intention, he offered the tea cup alone and quietly entered the bedroom.
Xi Jian knelt beside the couch, raised the teacup over his head, and offered it in front of Concubine Yangui: "Your Majesty, it's time for the second watch, and it's time to wash and arrange."
Only then did Concubine Yangui calm down, lifted the teacup lightly, and said calmly: "It's already the second watch."
Xi Jian timidly said: "The minister just fetched water, and saw that there are soldiers armored outside the Yujin Pavilion, the empress should pay attention..."
Concubine Yan Gui lazily said: "It's not His Majesty's nephew, who is really insane, and actually started a rebellion, making this palace unsafe."
Xi Jianfu said in a low voice: "In my humble opinion, this matter is not all fraudulent. When I see someone from your mother's family entering the palace, I think it must be summoned by an adult. If your majesty entrusts you with important tasks, the general will defeat the enemy and return triumphantly." If you make meritorious deeds, His Majesty will love your empress even more, and your ministers will be honored as well."
Concubine Yangui smiled without saying a word, took a sip of her tea, and said "talkative", but she didn't seem to blame her.
At this time, when Luyan returns, Xixi retreats silently.
For more than ten days after that, the emperor suffered from military affairs and never entered the harem.Concubine Yangui asked to see her many times but was unable to see her, so she also stopped her flag and drums.However, the generals have not yet been decided, so there is a feeling of anxiety before going to the harem.
Hanxuan stood still and watched the situation quietly. Several letters from Liang Xun said that there was nothing wrong there, and Hanxuan never had any problems in the forbidden area.
Due to the complicated military affairs, the emperor seldom left the Dechi Palace except in the Yaozhuo Palace.Therefore, Hanxuan had to lead a group of palace people to deliver breakfast to the palace.
In front of the feather fan on the emerald screen, the emperor looked more and more haggard, his brows and eyes were anxious, and the wind and rain were blowing.When Hanxuan was serving food, I still put it on the case and read a volume of urgent reports.
After looking at it hastily, the emperor threw the memorial in his hand into the palace, thinking he was really angry.Han Xuan was slightly stunned, and said as usual: "Your Majesty, take care of your body."
"Take care? Its capital has broken through Handu, and it is about to reach Xuanshui, but there are no generals available in the court. Teach me how to take care! Several generals defending the city, Qu Gu Juhu, are extremely useless. When the army is in front, they must surrender and protect themselves. How can you expect him to sacrifice his life to defend against the enemy."
"People in the court have their own ulterior motives, and their hearts are tied, so it is inevitable that they will be honored and honored. Your Majesty is careful and decisive." Han Xuan stood by the side, watching the emperor's expression vigilantly.
"Yes!" Seeing the emperor's eyes turned hard, "Xuan Shui has already entered the fiefdom of the King of Zou, so teach his family to go to Beijing to avoid disaster, and then give him the Tiger Talisman, teach him to fight against the enemy."
Hanxuan's heart turned cold, the royal family's kindness, the brother's quarrel, but that's it.I can't help but recall Tianque, and my mind is ups and downs again.
But there is no time to think about it, Han Xuan knows that the general is determined, and this is a good opportunity.So when he came out of the hall, he immediately said to Zhi Yu, "Let's go to Zhihui River to see you, it's today."
Seeing that Fang got the news, Xi also wanted to wait for the opportunity to move, and always pay attention to the situation in the palace.
After lunch, Concubine Yan looked tired and drowsy, so she dispatched all the people in the inner hall.Called a few words in a low voice, and seeing that Lu Yan was not there, he said angrily to himself: "After all, it is my palace, the Maoyuan Hall, which is not good. Whenever there are foreign ministers who face saints, they always make alarmist remarks. They are afraid that something will happen to my palace, so they only teach Lu Yanri If you go to lead the palace secretary to work for a day, you are not allowed to serve the palace."
Seeing that he was standing outside the curtain with his body bowed, Xixi heard this and saw no one around, so he calmed down a little and came closer.
"Your Majesty, forgive me. There is an urgent letter from the house. I can't find the master in charge. When I see my servant serving tea, I will enter the hall, so I will be served by the minister, which disturbs my slumber." Offer, "I think it's because of the urgency, this letter is also a little wet with sweat, the empress's body is beautiful, I should read it for you."
Concubine Yangui was dressed in gold-woven tulle pajamas, her eyebrows were slightly raised, and when Xixi saw it, she spread it out in faith and presented it in front of her eyes.Concubine Yangui frowned and looked at the scroll, seeing the ink marks in it, they were slightly blurred, but luckily the handwriting was still legible.
Concubine Yangui finished reading, stared at her eyes for a long time, and then murmured: "Go and lead the palace secretary to call Luyan back, I have something important to do."
Xi Jian went away in response.Leaving one of them alone, in this splendid hall, worries darkened.
Leaving the Maoyuan Hall and walking to the leader of the palace, he bumped into Zhiyu.Taking advantage of people's unpreparedness, Xi saw that he put something in his hand, so he went to look for Luyan.Since Zhiyu saw Hanxuan, Hanxuan could only calm down and welcome the approaching storm.
Xu Yin was determined to be the general of the war, the emperor relaxed his mind a little, and had a lot of dinner.Seeing this, Hanxuan hurriedly entered with a candlestick, bowed in front of the emperor's case, and said lightly: "Your Majesty is in a good mood today, not as sad as in the past, so I dare to say something boldly. The imperial concubine has visited many times a few days ago. I am afraid that I will disturb the emperor." Please excuse me politely, and now I ask your majesty to come down."
The emperor spoke lightly, and only said: "Although you are new to the inner court, in terms of human relations, you are by no means inferior to the former. You don't need to worry about it."
Seeing Han Xuan holding the candlestick, the emperor seemed a little interested, so he blew on the tallest one, "He has been neglected for many days, let's go and see him today."
Hanxuan secretly laughed in his heart, and only withdrew the dinner one by one, and passed on the order.When the moon was on the branch, the emperor was sent into the Maoyuan Hall.
Concubine Yangui was overjoyed and greeted her politely.After bathing and grooming, he will wait for the emperor to change clothes.The red candle warming lamp illuminated the two emperors and concubines, their faces flushed red.
On the pillow mat, Concubine Yan Gui was lying coquettishly, embracing the emperor's arm, and said cunningly: "The concubine heard that the war is lingering, and the people in the court are unable to discuss it. Does your majesty have a countermeasure?"
The emperor was tired and lay down with his eyes closed: "You know it too."
Concubine Yangui pondered over and over again, and finally said: "Your Majesty has accumulated great achievements over the years, the world is unified, the court is clean, and all the officials are sincere. Thieves and disasters will happen. Although they are not to be feared, they still need to be dealt with. Your Majesty might as well pretend to have military power. It is also an opportunity for the courtiers to be loyal."
The corner of the emperor's mouth twitched slightly, and after a while, Concubine Yangui panicked a little, and said unhurriedly: "In your opinion, who is worthy of this job?"
Concubine Yan Gui smiled: "Since the emperor knows the selfishness of the ministers and concubines, why do you ask the ministers and concubines instead?"
The emperor was silent for a long time, and finally said wearily: "You should spend less time thinking about court affairs. Go to sleep."
Concubine Yangui felt melancholy, seeing the emperor was restless and tired, lying quietly beside her, she had nothing to say, she also rolled up her blue hair, put down the curtains, and turned around to fall asleep.
Only the emperor's breathing rises and falls in the ears, the night wind suddenly blows, and the curtains move, and the cicadas and birds sometimes disappear, and everything is completely silent for a while.
The sky is gone, and the bright moon is coming.Good night and quiet night, nine days are clear, and even the sorrow and serious illness have dissipated a little.
However, the palace people had not yet entered the hall to turn off the lights, but they heard the commotion.Concubine Yangui woke up immediately and turned to look at the gate of the palace.I saw someone stumbling and knocking open the heavy palace gates.
The emperor was also aware of it, but saw that Concubine Yangui was already in her body, she lifted the curtain and came out, standing in front of the royal driver.
When people got close, they saw that it was Han Xuan.Han Xuan said loudly, "Your Majesty, forgive me", then grabbed Concubine Yan Gui's jade neck and pressed her back against the wall.
"Presumptuous!" The emperor yelled, but Hanxuan never let go, and only held the frightened Concubine Yangui tightly in his palm.
"Your Majesty, calm down!" Han Xuan didn't change his expression, he just shouted back, "Come here, escort."
Then I saw Xijian rushing straight into the bedroom with a team of palace people.
The emperor was stunned, his eyes were about to split open: "Lei Hanxuan, it's against you!"
Seeing that the palace crowd had arrived, Hanxuan bent down and knelt down: "Your Majesty, I know that I have committed a crime of disrespect, and it is only for your majesty's safety. Please order to search the palace. If nothing is found, it will not be too late for your majesty to convict."
Concubine Yan Gui was also furious: "Bastard, my palace residence, do you search it when you say it?"
"Your Majesty, my ministers have a first-line report. Xi Yiran can't ask for power, and wants to use the noble concubine to interfere in politics. The palace servants come to report, and the two of them exchange letters. If this matter fails, they can turn against the lord and cooperate with the inside and outside to help the son of King Jiji enter the country." Lord Yuque, in order to seek fame." Han Xuan bowed his head, threw himself into the ground, and said nothing more.
Concubine Yangui turned pale with shock: "Nonsense! Brother, why did you ever say such inhumane words. You should have evidence for your slander."
Hanxuan took his time and called Xijian to come forward. Xijian respected Su and bowed down, bearing a letter on top of his head.
The emperor took it and read it.After reading it briefly, I just handed the letter in front of Concubine Yan Gui, and said lightly: "Look for yourself."
Concubine Yangui went in without knowing it, took it and read it.After only reading a few lines, he stood with his lips and teeth, his face pale: "Your Majesty, someone must have transferred this letter. What I saw today is definitely not the case!"
"Your younger brother has been an official in the court for many years, and I can still recognize his handwriting!" The emperor was not angry, but only squinted at Concubine Yangui, his eyes were sullen and unreadable.Concubine Yangui couldn't bear the emperor's behavior, so she lost her position for a while, and said decisively: "Search! I want to see what is in this bedroom, so I can hinder you."
The emperor remained calm, and when Xixi saw that he was acting well, he led a group of palace people to rummaging through boxes and boxes, and drove away in a hurry.When Xixi saw him, he stayed in front of the three of them and checked them on the couch.
While groping, I suddenly heard a little hissing in the creek.Han Xuan raised his head immediately, and asked seriously, "What's the matter?"
Xi Jian timidly said: "There seems to be a sharp weapon between the pillows, and this subject hurts me."
Han Xuan clenched his teeth tightly: "Open it and have a look!"
When Xi saw it, he carefully opened the pillow and found a short dagger on the brocade quilt and jade pillow.
The emperor immediately became agitated, fixedly looked at the distraught Concubine Yan Gui, and asked sharply: "How can you hide a sharp weapon on your couch?"
Concubine Yangui only cried pear blossoms and rain: "I don't know, Your Majesty, I have been wronged..."
At this moment, Hanxuan calmed himself down: "Your Majesty, I have the courage to ask for an order, and search the body of the empress, I am afraid there will be surprises."
The emperor thought for a moment: "Let me come in person!"
The emperor moved neatly, and from time to time he took out something from his arms, which seemed to be jewelry or jade.The emperor just glanced at it, and then sternly said, "Why do you have the military amulet of the admiral of the Nine Cities on your body?"
Concubine Yangui was sleepy and worried about the city, committed herself to the ground, and wept blindly.Suddenly aroused, furious, pointed at Han Xuan and said: "It's you! You must have framed me! Slandering my palace! You must be a bitch. Recently, I have frequently transferred my maidservants away, so you can install an inner ghost to lure me out. Such an innocent disaster!"
Hanxuan's expression was calm: "Your Majesty, be careful, you can tell at a glance whether your subordinates are planning to frame you, please come down with me."
The situation in the palace has long since had no way out.The crowd went up to a high platform in the nearby palace named Fufeng Pavilion.
Fufeng Pavilion is condescending, overlooking the imperial city.I can only see the green sky is sweaty, the stars are shining, accompanied by the slight clouds, and the new moon is like a hook.Under the sky, the lights in the capital city were as usual, and everything was safe.But the focus of everyone's eyes is outside the palace wall, in the dense forest.At first glance, it is not noticeable, but when you look closely, you can only feel that there are dots of lights all over the mountains and plains, wandering back and forth, faintly pressing under the palace wall.
The two emperors and concubines had already lost their color, and they were stunned.On the contrary, Hanxuan was decisive, and said: "Now the situation is critical, and I hope His Majesty will issue an order to urgently call Yubayashi to escort him."
The emperor was at a loss: "As you said, do it quickly!"
Han Xuan raised his hand, and when he saw the river beside him, he left the cabinet and left.But the emperor leaned on the railing again to watch, the cloud on his face remained unchanged, and asked Han Xuan: "Why did today's matter come to this?"
"The matter of the letter, when the palace servants came to report it, the minister thought it was ridiculous, so he didn't pay attention. But when the minister was about to leave the palace and go back to the mansion, he saw that there seemed to be lights in the forest. When he looked closely, he saw the soldier in armor in a trance. On top of it is the peony decoration."
"Is it the guard of Xi's mansion?"
The emperor looked at him with contempt, and no matter how hard Concubine Yan could hold herself back, she threw herself at Hanxuan, cursing angrily: "The slut is cunning, he set up a scheme to murder, Your Majesty, don't trust me!"
Hanxuan dodged lightly, and only replied: "As the imperial concubine said, the minister also felt that something was wrong, but when he saw Lord Xi's carriage approaching from a distance, he felt something was wrong, arranged for Yulin to stand by, and then rashly entered the Maoyuan Palace .”
When this matter happened, a palace official stumbled into the Fufeng Pavilion, panting anxiously: "Report to Your Majesty, Admiral Dao of Jiucheng has something to ask to see you."
"Did you say when?"
"It's just a matter of military affairs, and it must be presented face-to-face."
Hanxuan said: "I think that the intention of the visitor is not yet clear, so it is not appropriate to open the palace gate lightly. I just wait for Yulin to disperse the encircling soldiers and hold down Mr. Xi, and then please enter the inner court for further questioning."
The emperor sighed silently: "Putting up Dechi Palace, I'll see how you speak, brothers and sisters."
Because of military affairs, the emperor only ordered Hanxuan to stand behind the painting screen.Through the color of teeth and silk, it can be seen that the mountain is located outside of Yale, and the two are worried about themselves, and they have no way to argue.
"Your Majesty is aware that the soldier's talisman has been stolen, and the matter is of great importance. I dare not not enter the palace immediately to plead guilty, in order to prevent changes in the elbow and armpit. My sister has been working hard for half her life, and she is steadfast, and she has no wrong heart. As for how the soldier's talisman arrived at the elder sister's palace. In the middle, I really don't know."
Concubine Yangui was still angry and scolded: "Concubine concubine recalls today's events, it must be that Lei Shi had planned for a long time, placed elaborate work in the concubine's palace, dispatched servants, stole tiger charms, exchanged letters, and placed sharp knives in between. All kinds of things are just trying to put my Xi family to death. My family has been loyal and good for generations, and I dare not take credit for it. I hope Your Majesty will see clearly, so that the treacherous and sycophant will not become a disaster for the court."
The emperor remained silent for a long time, just looking at the two of them.When the lights and candles were turned off, the figures of the two shrank slightly.
"I have been raised in the palace since I was a child. For more than forty years, I have long been familiar with conspiracies and schemes. There is indeed something strange about today's incident. It is clearly coming to you two, but I have to think about it." If you two took the risk and acted in the opposite direction, if I trusted you lightly, I would get rid of the Lei family. I think that on the day of the palace selection, you intended to be born of your own family..."
"Your Majesty! Regarding the selection of the palace, the courtiers and concubines have carefully investigated it. There is indeed someone in my family who participated in the election, but he has disappeared since he left the palace. The courtiers and concubines also..."
"That's all!" The emperor said in a deep voice, "Are you afraid that this is the work of the Lei family? I have always treated you and your brother with kindness and indulgence. If you are arrogant, I will I don't intend to lighten the blame, but you two should also understand that the Lei family is the only one who hates you two in the court?"
Hearing these words, the two dared not answer any more.On the blue stone, some water can be seen, probably because of the sweat flowing from the foreheads of the two of them.
"It doesn't matter if the two of you are unintentional, or other people set up a situation to cause trouble. I am close and the military plane is busy, and I can't bear it. I don't want to go into it. Even so, the crime of lax palace management and bad talisman should not be taken lightly. What's more, the heart of the two of you to invite power is obvious to all. According to my decree, the noble concubine is forbidden to enter the Maoyuan Palace, fasting and thinking about her mistakes, and she will not come out without an edict. Xi Yiran, you don't need to lead the soldiers and horses of the Nine Cities, just stay at home and meditate Cultivation of virtue is paramount."
The two of them didn't dare to cry and beg anymore, they just said "Thank you Lord Long En" mournfully, and the palace servants helped him away.
On the emperor's slanted case, his face was full of thick clouds, his eyes were reddish, and he was even more depressed amidst the golden and pearly luster of the painting.
Hanxuan came out quietly and knelt before the case, not daring to move rashly.Today's soldiers are making dangerous moves and are eager for success. Hearing what Concubine Caiyan said just now, the emperor must have become suspicious, and if he is a little careless, he will lose everything.
"Since I have heard everything, I just want to see how you can explain it?" The emperor became more and more tired, and his expression became dull.
"My family is far away in the south of the Yangtze River, and no one is an official in the court. I have never had any contact with the Xi family, let alone a grudge. What I do is only for your Majesty's safety, and has no selfish intentions. As for what the noble concubine said, if someone sets up a situation to cause disaster, Then the subordinates are just the children in the game, and they are just planning for others." Han Xuan looked calm and knelt down.Little did he know, his back was already dripping with cold sweat, causing his heart to feel cold.
The emperor pondered for a long time, but Hanxuan didn't understand what it meant, and he couldn't help being overwhelmed inside, trembling with fear, and his Qi and blood were not smooth, so he knelt down for a while, but he was exhausted.
"I think it's because the fate is not blessed, and internal and external troubles are endless, so I am stretched. You have not been in the job for a long time, and you will inevitably be involved in the storm. In the old palace, it was too knowledgeable to take care of itself, and it will end up with endless troubles. It is not a good thing. Today I don't want to go into the matter carefully. How many people in the palace are innocent. The Xi family has become more and more disrespectful recently. Even if you are scheming today, I will only take the opportunity to beat you. If you think about it in the future, I will not be a fool .”
Han Xuan was also terrified, and forced himself to say: "Your Majesty will see clearly."
"Forget it, how can we understand the affairs in the palace. The war is the most important thing, so I don't want to think about it."
Hanxuan is like receiving amnesty, and the six gods return to their thrones.Slowly got up, lighted the incense burner, added incense bait, and suddenly a warm fragrance rose up, filling the sleeves, making people feel soft.
Han Xuan said softly: "Your Majesty has worked hard and has the responsibility of the family and the country. It should be settled as soon as possible. If there is no order, the minister will retire first."
The emperor nodded slightly.Han Xuan was about to retreat, when suddenly he saw a palace official entering the hall, and whispered something in Han Xuan's ear, Han Xuan looked back with a blushed face, hesitated and said nothing.
Seeing this state of affairs, the emperor was slightly displeased, and asked, "What happened again?"
Han Xuan lowered his eyebrows and said softly: "Miss Yunyuan was shocked to hear about the accident in the inner palace, she misses His Majesty, and wants to say hello to His Majesty."
In the middle of the night, the dew was heavy, recalling the attitude of the noble concubine Cai Yan, I couldn't help but blame myself for being arrogant to her.But for this Yunyuan, there are many harsh words, and I can't bear it.Thinking of this, the emperor became more and more gentle, and said: "Let him come in."
The door of the palace was opened, and I saw Lan Ze, dressed in a lilac color, with simple bead decorations, and she came here gracefully.Walking up to the front, she grinned her white teeth and said shyly: "The concubine heard a little about the things in the palace, but I really don't worry about your majesty. Now that your majesty is safe, I feel at ease. The concubine is rough and does not disturb your majesty. The concubine is about to rest. Retire."
The emperor only saw that under the gold and jade, this plain girl became more and more beautiful, and said with a smile: "Since you are here, let's stay."
The autumn rain is falling, unknowingly covering the dark night, the soft whispers, the rain and the clouds.
