Chapter 40 - Unknown place in the palace
Under the leadership of Xie Ying, the southern army of the Great Zhou slapped Chen Guo’s army to smash their heads. After the Great Zhou crisis was solved, after the victory and the return, it was natural to celebrate. Therefore, the day of the Changchun Palace is still not bright today. The maid began to arrange the celebration banquet to be held after the morning of today. In order not to make any mistakes, today’s eunuch, the eunuch, who is the **** in charge of the eunuch, actually appeared in person to make sure everything is in order. The emperor of Da Zhou rushed into the imperial study room before the beginning of the early dynasty to review the accumulated memorials. It embraces the four seas and has the most authority in a country, but who has seen how these monarchs in the form of crimes are getting thinner day by day.
The Yushufang has already been prepared. The envelope on the top is the summary of the war, including the number of soldiers killed in the battle and the number of damaged weapons and horses. The second envelope is the request of the Ministry of War. Allocating silver, after a war is over, whether it is a pension or the purchase of additional weapons and war horses, they are inseparable from white silver. The emperor of Da Zhou looked at the specific number, and after writing a quasi-character on it with a Zhu pen, he opened the next booklet, but before he had time to read it, the door of the Imperial Study Room was pushed open.
The Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty didn’t look up. In this Great Zhou Palace, apart from Princess Anyang, there was really no other person who dared to push the door in such a direct way, let alone when he was still reviewing the memorials in the Imperial Study Room.
After the emperor of Da Zhou wrote another quasi-word, he said flatly: “Dignified Princess Da Zhou, what kind of style is it to stop my general in the street? Even if you are not a princess, you should always be a daughter. I don’t know how the people in the palace taught you.
Ji Nan Taki, who opened the door and entered, originally wanted to say something, but after listening to the emperor Da Zhou’s words, he twitched the corners of his mouth, not daring to speak, and stood aside like a kid who had done something wrong. On weekdays, Ji Nanlong definitely didn’t care about his father’s words that are not serious or serious, but now that he has something to ask him, naturally he does not dare to make too many actions that the Emperor Zhou is not pleased with.
Putting down the memorial, the Emperor Da Zhou raised his head, looked at his daughter who was reluctant to beat and scolded, and laughed softly: “If you want your father to give you anything, just speak up. Just say it in advance and the father can give you other things. You, you are the only one who thank you, the emperor will not give it.”
Ji Nanlong was originally elated, but when he heard the last half of the words of the emperor Da Zhou, the whole person was like an eggplant beaten by frost, completely stunned.
The emperor of Da Zhou looked at the sky, stood up, rubbed Ji Nantaki’s head, and smiled: “Why don’t I want this guy to be a horseman, but by comparison, I would rather him be a general useful to Da Zhou. Just because of your love, I let him lose his future, then I was a bit too much. As the princess of Da Zhou, naturally you have to consider it for Da Zhou.”
Ji Nanlong’s eyes were dim, and he said in a crying voice: “Then I might as well not be this Da Zhou princess!”
The emperor Dazhou didn’t say much. Although he was trying his best to facilitate this marriage, in fact, this matter did not reach the end. No one knew whether it would be possible or not. He would say everything now. If it fails, it must be. Princess Anyang, who had hope and then despair, would be even more sad.
Seeing that it was not early, the emperor of Da Zhou left the imperial study room and went to the Chongde Hall to hold the early dynasty, leaving only Ji Nanlong alone.
In front of the Chongde Hall, today is something unusual.
Because in addition to the officials who usually should enter the Chongde Hall to participate in the early dynasty at this time, there is also a civil official who is no longer in Shaoliang City now also comes to the Chongde Hall.
Guozijian Jijiu Xie Chenjun, the Patriarch of the Xie family, Xie Ying’s uncle, the world-waiting calligraphy master, the Jijiu Master, who has faded out of the government for many years, appeared outside the Chongde Hall today.
For the actual power holder of the Xie family, Chao Zhongwen Wu has always admired it. After all, this old man served as the commander of the commanding army when the first emperor was on the throne. After the emperor’s accession to the throne, he was also very powerful in a few years, if not He is so old, maybe this old man is still Da Zhou’s master now. Such a character cannot be taken lightly.
Today, in front of the Hall of Chongde, the old man is beside him, except for Li Ji, the ruler of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
The old man glanced at the Chongde Hall, which he hadn’t seen for many years, and suddenly smiled: “Li Ji, you said that it is not easy to be an official in Shaoliang City. Why did the old man not feel at all?”
Although Li Ji is now the chief official of the Great Zhou Dynasty, he is actually not qualified enough in front of this old man. He chuckled softly: “The old man has been in officialdom for many years, and his experience is comparable to that of these ministers. I don’t have this feeling. Of course.”
Xie Chenjun smiled and shook his head, “Being an official can only be regarded as a trivial thing. When I was young, the old man used to make bold words, saying that I thank Chenjun for calligraphy first, music theory second, and article third. Can only be ranked last.”
Li Ji calmly said: “The eldest dabbles are too extensive, and they are all fine. Even the last official can be the position of the prison of the government. So, Li Ji should not be ashamed to die?”
Xie Chenjun laughed at Li Ji’s remarks.
After a moment of silence, Xie Chenjun smiled and said, “Li Ji, the old man is going to Beijing this time and he only asks for one thing for my nephew. I don’t ask you for help. I hope you don’t make trouble.”
Li Ji didn’t speak immediately. It was not a trivial matter for the prestigious old man to enter Beijing today. However, he participated in the early court without a break after entering Beijing, which is even more strange. Many courtiers were still speculating that the old man entered the palace. The reason for this, now Xie Chenjun almost points out, there is no reason why Li Ji could not guess.
What the old man did when he entered Beijing, except for the marriage between Xie Jiabaoshu and Anyang Princess?
While he was losing his mind, Li Ji heard another sentence.
“Li Ji, do you think the old man can do this?”
After Li Ji looked up, he smiled bitterly: “Li Ji naturally doesn’t dare to neglect what the old man asked for.”
Hearing these words, Xie Chenjun nodded, but smiled playfully.
——
The early dynasty is about to begin. According to the past, the Changchun Palace should have been idle, but now that it is not idle because of the preparation for the banquet afterwards, Su Jin, the **** and eunuch, walked inside the palace wall, his eyes gloomy and unclear. When I turned the corner, I was hit by a little eunuch. The little **** looked up and saw that it was the palm print **** who was in charge of more than ten thousand eunuchs. The little **** knelt down in fear and slammed his head. It was Su Jin. The accumulation of prestige in the inner court is too deep to be feared.
Su Jin looked at the kneeling little eunuch. He didn’t plan to say anything. But after seeing the little **** for a few times, he suddenly sternly said: “Where are the mountain spirits and wild monsters, dare to go wild in the Changchun Palace!”
The little eunuch’s face turned pale, and at first he was a little dazed, but soon his eyes became dark and he lost consciousness, and just after he fell, his back squirmed, and soon made some noises, from his back, He crawled out of a cat with a green fur and the size of an ordinary one. After the cat crawled out, he licked the blood stained on his paws and said with a smile: “I can’t think of such a poor country where there is a monk sitting in town. No wonder it has been circulating that the imperial palace in this world is not easy to enter, no matter how big or small.”
Su Jin didn’t say anything to him. He just stretched out his left hand and grabbed the cat monster. He couldn’t help it move. After pinching his neck, Su Jin laughed and said, “My chance, you are a cat monster. , What are you fighting for?”
After speaking, Su Jin bit off the cat’s head in one bite, chewed in his mouth, showing a satisfied expression on his face.
Eating the cat’s head, Su Jin muttered vaguely: “How far is it? Ten or five?”
