Chapter 32
Always accompanying you is like accompanying a tiger.
"Your Majesty, please calm down. Your Majesty is not doing things well. Please forgive me!"
Having trouble doing things? You look like you are confident!
"King Rui, tell me what you saw yesterday."
Prince Rui was just a decoration when he went to court on weekdays, and the ministers rarely saw him born. Since it makes no difference whether he goes or not, he simply asks for leave from the emperor. If he has a headache or fever on weekdays, he will rest at home for three to five days. In January, Prince Rui always takes leave three to five times, so in January Among them, there are only a few people who can see Prince Rui in person. As for the visit, it never happened. There are two reasons for his wish. Before becoming the king, Prince Rui lived in the palace and no one visited him. After the title of king, when the emperor ascended the throne, Rui Wen's mother and concubine left with the late emperor, and her mother's family was uprooted by the emperor. When people heard about this, they did not dare to visit for a while. Later, the theory of King Rui's hidden power arose, and some hot-headed people who wanted to achieve success wanted to send their daughter to King Rui's palace as a concubine. However, Prince Rui is actually a man with a broken sleeve. In addition, King Rui brought the people from Fireworks and Willow Lane into Prince Rui's Mansion, so others no longer dared to have anything to do with Prince Rui, for fear that the gossip would contaminate them.
I got to meet Prince Rui today. It's really a surprising thing.
"Yesterday, Brother Chen and Mr. Zhou ... went to the resettlement center for the victims in Xisi Hutong, and the victims launched a rebellion."
"this ... "
Rebellion! For such a big matter, the resettlement of the victims may not be easily solved.
Officials in the capital had many eyes and ears about what happened yesterday. How could they not understand it? Being so surprised was just because they were afraid of getting into trouble. It was the best policy to protect oneself wisely at this moment.
"My brother, Mr. Zhou and a group of patrolling soldiers guarding the victims suppressed it. The specific disposal methods have been written down in a memorial and handed over to the emperor's brother. After sending a doctor for diagnosis and treatment yesterday, it was found that the victims did not have an epidemic, but just ordinary diseases. Doctors have been arranged to treat them. , and the person who spread the epidemic has been brought to the palace to await the trial of the emperor."
"Pass the prisoner."
Matters that were usually left to the Ministry of Justice to await trial were brought to the main hall today. It seemed that the emperor was preparing to deal with some of the nuisances in court.
"You, the grass-roots citizen, Zhao You, have met the emperor. Long live the emperor! Long live the emperor!"
"Friend Zhao, tell me everything you know."
"The grassroots family lives in Nanyin County. He once won the imperial examination and is now a teacher in his hometown. This year, there was a sudden heavy snowfall in Nanyin County and flooding in the spring. Countless people were affected by the disaster. Because there was no food relief, the victims were everywhere and flowed into Kyoto. The victims came here to seek refuge because they had no other options.”
"Everyone is resentful that the imperial court did not lend a helping hand to rescue them. But I know that the imperial court has already distributed relief grain and grass. Just because I am the teacher of the legitimate son of the prince of Nanyin County. I found that the prince of Nanyin County secretly withheld all the grain money distributed by the court. Come down."
Seizing relief items privately, Nanyin County is going to rebel!
"I am just a scholar, but I know that the prince's actions are a crime that will bring disaster to the country and the people, so I am going to the capital to report this matter overnight."
"Because the prince was checking us along the way, we had no choice but to disguise ourselves as refugees and enter the capital to look for opportunities. However, once we arrived in the capital, we were surrounded by patrolling soldiers and finally confined in Xisi Hutong."
"There are mostly common people in Xisi Hutong, including the elderly, the weak, and the disabled. It was impossible to send any news out. So, I lied that there was an epidemic among the refugees and refugees were everywhere. That's how I met Prince Rui and the adults."
This man can be considered a man of both courage and strategy.
It was so thrilling that he took the risk and succeeded.
I'm afraid that this person is on His Majesty's mind.
However, Zhao You also pushed himself to the emperor.
It's just consensual.
The Prime Minister looked at Zhao You, who was wearing plain clothes and linen shoes, but his eyes were bright and full of blazing desire. He insisted on going his own way and handed the evidence that brought down the county king into the hands of His Majesty. It seems that the imperial court is going to have another big storm.
He is really old.
I can't understand the emperor's thoughts.
In the imperial study room.
"See Your Majesty."
"Get up."
"Thank you, Your Majesty"
"Today, you talk very little."
Xie Zehao looked at Zhou Xiaochuan who stood up. He certainly knew what happened between him and Zeshi in Xisi Hutong yesterday.
"Wei Chen always doesn't talk much. What's more, today's meritorious service is that Zhao You. Wei Chen doesn't dare to talk nonsense and greed for merit."
He was tired today and didn't want to talk much.
The soul entered the body yesterday without any discomfort, but he didn't feel sleepy at all. He sat up from the bed and looked for a travel diary. The travel diary was also quite interesting. He spent the night like that.
The king will naturally come to a conclusion after yesterday's report on the matter being discussed in the court. But now he was very sleepy and just wanted to go back and take a nap.
"There's something different about you today."
Today, he felt particularly tired. Apart from his face, the fatigue radiated from his bones. He had been on an emergency mission before and had not slept for three days and two nights, so he was not this tired.
"Maybe it's because the old injury hasn't healed yet."
I have been away from this body for such a long time. I can seize the opportunity to return to the body, but it will take time to adapt. As the fool said, sleep is a great tonic. He thought it would be nice to have a good sleep.
"In that case, you don't need to go to Nanyin County this time."
If he really turns against me, then there is no need to force it. Although he is a good sword, he will not break it if the sword is unwilling. At most, he will abandon it and let it rust and become useless.
Although deposing a young master of a general's mansion would not benefit the country or the people, it would not cause much harm either.
"Your Majesty, you are too kind. I am just feeling a little unwell, nothing serious is wrong. I will do my best to take care of Nanyin County."
"You go back first."
"Thank you, Your Majesty. I will take my leave."
Zhou Xiaochuan stood up and tried to leave.
"Xiaochuan, you ... "
The king looked at Zhou Xiaochuan who was retreating with big strides, and seemed to want to say something but stopped himself.
In fact, if you didn't have such wishful thinking, you would be the sharpest and most suitable blade in this court, and you would also be my right-hand man.
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will not overstep the mark."
He didn't have a second life to try again.
This is probably the only time in his life that Zhou Xiaochuan will do anything without caring about anything.
It’s not like no one picked him up today.
His father wanted to assign another person to serve him personally, but he refused.
He'd lived through all these years with or without someone around, hadn't he?
Others are dispensable to him. If they are there, he can just see spring flowers, autumn fruits, autumn leaves and winter snow, and it will be a little more lively. If they are not there, the four seasons in the world will remain the same, without any changes, it will still be spring, summer, autumn and winter.
If you don't want to, why force it?
(System: Zhou Xiaochuan, don’t you realize that spring flowers, autumn fruits, autumn leaves, and winter snow are different from spring, summer, autumn, and winter ...
Zhou Xiaochuan: Are you not afraid of me now?
System: Afraid ... )
Chapter Thirty-ThreeWe walked all the way back to the General's Mansion in this way, stepping on the green brick floor and blowing the spring wind. It was almost May, and although the evening breeze was cool, it was also very comfortable."grown ups?"The stall owner had just set up his stall when the person he met was the man from the previous day."You recognize me?""Sir, noble people often forget things. The day before yesterday, you ate Hu Tang and steamed buns in a small shop."They had just met him once the day before yesterday, but this gentleman actually took his words to heart. The refugees in Xisi Hutong have now been resettled, and he can do business safely, all thanks to this gentleman.Hu Tang? steamed stuffed bun?Could it be that the food the scoundrel carried was bought here that day?"Is your Excellency the same as that day?"Same? It was the first time for him to eat here. It was so open and crude
Chapter Thirty FourMaster, I woke up. It was really dark today. I didn’t even light a candle. Even thinking about going to the bathroom, I was afraid that I would accidentally fall to death. Ghosts don’t need to go to the toilet, right?(System: Scoundrel, are you sure ghosts don’t need to go to the toilet?Young Master Me: Probably ...Ghost: I want to appeal! There is species discrimination! ... )Wait, wait. No, sir, haven’t I turned into a ghost? How come such a heavy body comes from! Where is this! Master, I want to go out!"Is he lost in the jade pendant?"Since Zhou Xiaochuan couldn't sleep, he looked for someone to relieve his boredom, and Wu Mo, who was imprisoned in the General's Mansion, was a good candidate. This is a secluded place in the General's Mansion. Monk Wu Mo has no martial arts skills, so he can just find someone to watch him.Unexpectedly, someone was also asleep, with his eyes open and a slumped look on
Chapter Thirty-Five"I don't know when the rain stopped?"The patter of spring rain has also been falling for a long time. Although I am a ghost and cannot bask in the majestic spirit of the bright universe, the bright moon at night can also be used to comfort me. Now it’s better. This whole day There was a lot of water vapor, and it felt cold on my face and body, which was very uncomfortable."The continuous rainy season, how long do you think it will last?"He could stand being alone, but he didn't expect that it was the ghost who couldn't stand the loneliness first."Do you want to go out?""Where am I going? I'm a ghost ... wait a minute, you mean now that the weather is gloomy and rainy, I can go out for a walk?" After asking, Fang felt very excited. I can finally be a little free. Active. This opportunity is so rare! After being held here for so long, it feels like being in prison. Now I can be let out for a bit of fun, which is natur
Chapter Thirty SixI have a short brain and cannot think of such twists and turns.I hid in the blind spot of their sight and listened to their discussions in lowered voices."My lord, I took the bait.""Um."They took the bait. It looked like they had laid a hidden thread. There was a crowd of heads downstairs, mostly dandy boys. In a place like the capital, if the clothes-drying pole fell, it could hit two wealthy families, let alone such a salesperson. Golden Cave.Setting up defense here must be closely related to beauty. It’s not vulgar I think, but it’s hard not to think about vulgarity in this place. What legitimate reason would you come here to close the net?I thought that the beauty must be the bait they dropped, but the weight of this beauty is a little lighter. Although beautiful, in this capital, although such beauty is of the highest quality, after all, it is not enough at this untimely moment. So risky."Sir, plea
Chapter Thirty SevenHe, the top scholar, actually became a murderer. He never imagined that this would happen. He didn't know when the knife fell out of his hand, and he didn't know when he left the garden. For many days after that, I was in constant panic. All I could think about every day was the smell of blood on my hands that day, as if I had never had time to clean them off. It seems that there will never be a clean day in this life.The servants saw that he was depressed all day long, either drunk or sleeping soundly. They couldn't bear to see that the high-spirited scholar had ruined his life like this, so they asked the book boy to persuade him, and it was best to pull him away. When you enter the market, you will see more prosperous scenes, which will make you feel better.The book boy has been with him since he was a child, and has experienced both prosperity and loss. When the master and his wife died suddenly and the family was completely devastated, h
Chapter Thirty-EightIn the legend, the left prime minister, whose grace is unparalleled, is climbing up the high platform with an extremely strenuous attitude, and then slowly walks to the seated woman, slowly stretches out his hand, his cloudy eyes are like It was cleansed in an instant, and what burst out was as bright as the stars in the sea."I ... I'm sorry for you, I, I said it too late ... I shouldn't have run away ... run away, but you, do you know ... know that I have been...for many years ... in fact, I ... I have never escaped ... that flower garden ... escaped from the ... boudoir in the flower garden ... " He spoke intermittently, spitting out these difficult words with great difficulty, and the hands were raw. It stopped at my ear, not daring to get any closer.The spectators were all focused on what was happening in front of them, and were so shocked that they could not recover for a long time. How could this bloated and weak man be the left
Chapter 39I stayed there all night under the sparse stars and bright moon.Zhou Xiaochuan just didn't wake up.The imperial physician in the room said that the arrow was poisonous. In order to remove the poisonous arrow, most of the night was spent. When daybreak was about to begin, the only good news was that the patient's life was safe.Zhou Xiaochuan was in a coma for two days despite the imperial physician's repeated assurances that his life was safe.The court sent Ying Yu to interrogate Fang Song in prison, while Prince Rui took charge of disaster relief for Nanyin County on behalf of Zhou Xiaochuan. They all had a conclusion, but the general's mansion was anxiously waiting for Zhou Xiaochuan to wake up.On the night of the second day, Zhou Xiaochuan finally woke up.It was me who discovered it.Wu Mo said that if Zhou Xiaochuan's life was not in danger, his soul would not leave the body easily, and he would not let me sn
Chapter 40"General, madam, don't worry. The young master is awake now. He just needs to be nursed for a while."Listening to the imperial doctor's words, my heart finally fell into my stomach. These days, the General's Mansion was holding my heart up and down."Excuse me, the doctor, for bothering me. Qingshan goes to the accounting office to collect the consultation fee.""General, you're welcome. There's no need to see you off. Please stay.""I don't dare to say thank you for saving my life. I express my gratitude to you. I hope you will accept it." Although the person who sent the imperial doctor is the king, he has done his best to save his life, so naturally he needs to express his gratitude.Zhou Qiaoan escorted the imperial doctor out of the house. The eyes of the general's wife in the room were full of tears. He lightly tapped Zhou Xiaochuan's arm to indicate that his mother was crying."Zhou Xiaochuan, mother is crying."Beca
