The Tyrant’s Beloved Empress

Chapter 113

The two took Xiao Anheng and Xiao Anzhu to pay homage to the Queen Mother, and the three-day Winter Festival holiday was over. +++Cartino novel website Xiao Zhige plunged into the busy political affairs again. And An Changqing went to court for the first time, and assisted Guanglu Temple (cao) to hold the Winter Festival and was greatly admired. After receiving a lot of praise in the market, no one had any opinion on his going to court.

Many people even felt that with the Goose King, the emperor’s temper was much better. Occasionally, courtiers failed to understand the profound meaning of Xiao Zhige, and did not dare to ask Xiao Zhige, and the errands would always be impossible for the Sacred Heart. Now there are more ways to do it-I dare not ask the emperor, but I can go to find the Goose King and make a call.

In this way, the courtiers did a good job, and there was no need to worry about being afraid of eating and hanging out, and Xiao Zhige finally stopped throwing knives at the courtiers who could not handle the errands all day, saving a lot of effort. It’s so happy for everyone.

The only thing that didn’t feel good was An Changqing. He is now well-known in the officialdom, and he goes to court every day before dawn. After the court meeting is over, he either goes to the imperial library to criticize the book or is invited to a banquet by his colleagues. After socializing in the daytime, I have to accompany the young prince and princess to dinner at night. And when it comes to rest at night, it is necessary to meet the emperor’s exuberant demand. Although most of the time he himself is not too firm to refuse, the culprit is none other than Xiao Zhige.

An Changqing feels that these days are a bit difficult.

Especially since he had been tossed for most of the night the night before, Han Zhang and Wang Yu came and cried out shortly after they closed their eyes. An Changqing was so sleepy that she couldn’t open her eyes, frowned and grunted impatiently, then pulled the quilt on and covered her head.

Upon seeing this, Wang Yu didn’t dare to urge again, and looked at Xiao Zhige who had already got up embarrassed. Xiao Zhige waved his hand and said in a low voice, “The prince is tired, so I don’t need to call him today.”

After he washed (more geng) clothes, he went to dig An Changqing. An Changqing was covered in a quilt. Xiao Zhige was afraid that he would be bored with himself, so he pulled the person out a little, then tucked the quilt for him, and stuffed the hot pot soup at his feet before going to the ground with a face full of spring breeze. towards.

Everyone was a little surprised if they didn’t see King Goose that morning. Someone tentatively asked, Xiao Zhige answered with a good temper, only saying that King Goose (body shen) was slightly uncomfortable and would not come today.

Everyone was relieved now, thinking that King Goose (body shen) was unwell, and it was time to visit him, so as to show his fellowship.

…

But on the side of An Changqing, he slept enough, and the sky (color) outside was already bright. Xiao Zhige should still be in power at this time, and he has not returned.

Wang Yu waited on him to wash (geng) his clothes, and after breakfast, An Changqing rubbed his still aching waist, thinking that such a day must not continue, otherwise it would work day and night (fuck cao). He might die on the dragon (chuang) sooner or later. At the moment, he couldn’t take care of anything else, so he hurriedly picked up and took Xiao Anheng and Xiao Anzhu out of the palace and returned to the palace.

Because of bringing the prince and princess, An Changqing’s battles out of the palace were not small.

After the dynasty was dismissed, not only Xiao Zhige knew that King Yan was out of the palace, but even the officials knew about it. Everyone stared at the emperor’s sudden sinking face (color), and then think about the fact that the King Goose did not come this morning, and looked at each other for a long while, all speculating that King Goose (body shen) was not sick. I’m afraid that your Majesty and King Goose are awkward. is true.

But they also guessed in their hearts, and didn’t dare to show it. However, after Ji Anmin reported to Enke in the Imperial Study Room about all the events held by Enke, he couldn’t help but persuade: “It is said that husbands and wives are quarreling at the end of the bed. Your Majesty must not delay business for a while. The ice play of the twelfth lunar month can be returned. King Goose is required to preside…”

The implication now is that if your Majesty annoys King Goose, he has to coax people back quickly, and there is still business waiting to be done.

Xiao Zhige’s face (color) was darkened, but what Ji Anmin said was the truth, and it was true that he was annoying people. He could only cough unreasonably, and said, “I see, doctor Yushi still has something to do?”

Ji Anmin shook his head quickly and stepped back.

As soon as the outsider left, Xiao Zhige couldn’t sit still, and hurriedly got up and returned to the main palace. Wang Yu and two (Ru Ru) wives also followed to the palace, and now (gan gan) there are only a few servants left in the main palace.

Xiao Zhige caught a young **** and asked, “What did King Goose say before leaving the palace?”

The little **** hesitated and said: “The prince confessed that your majesty does not have to look for him, and tomorrow morning will be the same.

Xiao Zhige clicked in his heart, feeling that most of the guesses in his heart became true. He was in such a good mood last night, he ordered it three times according to the person, and finally made everyone cry…An Changqing might be angry because of this.

He walked two laps with his hands on his back, then turned back and asked, “Wang Ye said when will he be back?”

The little **** shook his head: “Unzeng.”

As soon as Xiao Zhige’s footsteps turned, he wanted to go out of the palace to find someone, but then he thought of An Changqing and said that he was not allowed to look for him. It is estimated that he hasn’t calmed down yet. The steps taken are taken back. He pondered for a moment, summoned Han Zhang, and ordered him to go to Sanweizhai and Sugar Shop to buy some cakes and pine nuts and send them to the Yanwang Mansion.

Han Zhang responded with a smile, Dang Even took the token and went out of the palace to buy it.

***

An Changqing was refreshed after returning to the palace, and took Xiao Anheng and Xiao Anzhu to see their grandmother.

The Yu family also received a notification from the next person, and was about to go to the front yard to have a look, and saw that An Changqing had arrived with two children. Two (Milk Ru) mothers are holding a child, and there is a little Yu Gang by their side.

Yu Gang’s status is not good enough to enter the palace, and these days he has always stayed in the palace, occasionally visiting Hu Shifei’s small medical clinic for a few days. He happened to be at the mansion today, and he happily followed An Changqing with his brother and sister back to the mansion.

When Yu saw his grandson, he laughed from ear to ear, hugged this and hugged the other, reluctant to let go of either. Xiao Yu Gang also didn’t see the brothers and sisters for a while, so she squeezed around Yu’s side to make fun of the two little dumplings.

When the siblings were tired from playing, (Ru Ru) mother hugged them to rest. Yu Gang likes children, so he followed them to take care of them.

Only then did the Yu family have the intention to talk to An Changqing about business: “Why did you come back suddenly?”

In the past, Changqing An always had to send a letter first if he wanted to return home. Most of the time, Xiao Zhige was with him. Today, I have never seen the situation of bringing two children back home alone. Yu inevitably wondered if he had an awkward relationship with Xiao Zhige.

The awkwardness is not a cause for trouble, but the reason is not easy to tell. An Changqing’s ears are hot and he coughed: “No, it’s just that the palace is annoying. Your Majesty was originally going to come, but the government is busy (off tuo). Don’t open your body.”

Yu did not doubt that he had him, and believed his explanation.

After An Changqing had dealt with her mother, for fear that she would ask further questions, she sat in the Shouan Courtyard and went to the front yard again. He didn’t intend to be angry with Xiao Zhige, but felt that he had to live a life of pure heart and desire, otherwise it would be disadvantageous to his body.

As soon as he returned to the front yard, Han Zhang came again.

The white and fat chief **** came over with two familiar wooden food boxes and said with a smile: “Your Majesty heard that the prince and the princess had returned to the palace and sent the servants and maidservants to buy them.”

Two food boxes, one contains An Changqing’s favorite pastry, and the other contains pine nut candy that was not bought during the winter festival. The pine nut candy is probably just out of the pot, and the pine nut candy is still glowing with a warm burnt aroma.

“Your Majesty didn’t come?” An Changqing stretched her neck and looked behind him, always feeling that Xiao Zhige was hiding there.

Han Zhang smiled and said, “Your Majesty is afraid that the prince is still angry, so he didn’t come.”

An Changqing was relieved, received the things happily, and sent Han Zhang back to his life.

***

After returning to the palace, An Changqing finally lived a clean life. In the early morning of the past few days, I went up as usual, and after the down, I went to the river with Qi Wei to watch the ice play rehearsal.

Ice play is also a custom of the Daye Festival, one is to celebrate the approaching Spring Festival, and the other is to show the strength of the Daye. The people in this ice play rehearsal are all elites selected from the army. Thousands of people walk on skates in a formation, like exploring the sea, or independent like a golden rooster, or like a phoenix spreading its wings… all kinds of formations have changed, and the scene is spectacular and pleasing to the eye.

This year because of Xiao Zhige, the soldiers who participated in the ice sports were basically from the Yanzhou Army, and a small number of them were selected from the Imperial Guards or the children of military generals. The two groups were not convinced with each other, and they arrived. On the ice, there was no sign of breaking up. It was supposed to be a collaborative exercise, but it abruptly became two groups of people competing with each other.

There are many soldiers in Yanzhou, so naturally they have the upper hand. On Yejing’s side, Shen Tuliang was headed. Although he was at a disadvantage, he didn’t lose any momentum. The golden dragon formation made it crooked, and when An Changqing arrived, they saw the dragon head and dragon tail almost fighting.

Qi Wei stopped shouting loudly, and everyone off the court discovered that An Changqing and the others were coming. Yanzhou soldiers ordered the prohibition, and immediately followed Qi Wei’s order and regrouped. But the group of Yejing children headed by Shen Tuliang was not convinced by Qi Wei. Especially Shentuliang, he is the grandson of Shentuxu of the Great Zhu Kingdom. Although he has not joined the army, he has also learned martial arts since he was a child, and he is outstanding in martial arts.

When he moved his feet, he slid in front of An Changqing like a star-chilling electric switch, and said with a fist, “Also ask the King Goose to be the master for us. The Yanzhou Army is relying on your majesty’s power and doesn’t pay attention to me at all. !”

The Yanzhou army was under the command of Xiao Zhige. After Xiao Zhige became the throne, the soldiers of Yanzhou were naturally proud. Except for the soldiers who stayed behind in Yanzhou, many outstanding soldiers have been transferred back to Beijing, or appointed or conferred titles. They are in frontier gates all the year round (killing sha) enemies, both in momentum and means are better than the pampered guards and generals’ children (strong qiang). Therefore, this year’s ice sports selection, the Yanzhou army did not say anything, but also became the leader.

The biggest finale of the skates this year is the take-off of the Golden Dragon, which requires 2,200 people to set up together. There were 1,500 people in the Yanzhou Army, but there were only 700 people on the side of Yejing, including the Imperial Guards and the children of generals. Can only do dragon tail.

The Yanzhou Army was naturally elated, but Yejing’s children, who were used to being the first names in previous years, inevitably had a gap. Later, during the rehearsal, various frictions were encountered, and the gap gradually became dissatisfaction. Before An Changqing and the others came today, they had just argued once about how the golden dragon should take off, but neither of them was able to convince each other. When they were in the formation, they were like a ball of scattered sand. The dragon’s head, the dragon’s body, and the dragon’s tail were doing their own things, and they almost collided. Fight in one place.

This is the first time An Changqing has watched the Bingxi rehearsal. When she saw this, she frowned and called the leaders of both sides to ask.

The leader of the Yanzhou Army was a participating general, and An Changqing also knew him, so he asked him to report the situation according to the facts. The attendant glanced at Shen Tuliang next to him and said, “I waited until I was ordered to rehearse the formation, and I was appointed as the leader by General Qi. I did my best. But Master Shentu and others do not look down upon us, because they are dissatisfied that we are the leader. Even during the rehearsal, he didn’t cooperate very much.”

Shen Tuliang said angrily: “Nonsense! It’s clear that you rely on your majesty to support you, and your arrogance!”

The general was also displeased, staring at him and said: “Your Majesty rules the army strictly, when have we fought against your Majesty?!”

The two of you came and went, and they almost fought in front of An Changqing.

An Changqing’s face suddenly sank, and two guards were separated immediately. An Changqing said in a deep voice, “I asked you to come up to clarify the actual situation and mediate conflicts, not to make you fight in front of the king! You guys! As a leader, I just don’t think about how to ease the conflict. I even take the lead in making trouble, and wait for the next person to lead the ten army stick!”

The general and Shen Tuliang are now fading.

“Why are things conflicting today? Let’s tell the truth first.” An Changqing said again.

The two talked about the situation separately. An Changqing heard that it was because of the formation of the Golden Dragon that he had a disagreement, and immediately asked people to get paper and pen, and asked them to draw the formation of the golden dragon on the spot.

The two competed, and when they heard the words, they naturally got enough energy and quickly drew the formation of their respective ideas. The method that the generals discussed with everyone is for the dragon to go out from the southwest, from west to true north, then change its formation into a dragon bowing its head, and then go out from the northeast. However, Shen Tuliang thought this formation was too simple, he wanted to go from the southwest, travel from west to east, and then change to a dragon-turning formation, from the northwest.

An Changqing and Qi Wei discussed carefully, but felt that the formation of the generals was more suitable. It is not that the formation proposed by Shen Tuliang is not good, but that it is not suitable for actual exercises. Once the time is uncertain, the dragon-shaped team’s head and body are very likely to crash into one place and cause an accident. An accident on the ice is no small matter. Although the ice sports performance is more eye-catching, the better, but it must be ensured to be proper.

An Changqing clicked on the picture of Shentuliang and said, “Master Shentu has a good idea, but it is difficult to realize…”

After all, he had also stayed in Yanzhou for a long time, and read a lot of military books with Xiao Zhige. Under the influence of his ears and eyes, he also had his own opinions on the formation of troops. At the moment, he seriously analyzed the pros and cons of the two formations.

After hearing this, Shen Tuliang’s expression collapsed, but he had to admit that what he said was reasonable. Although his formation was good-looking, he was a bit on paper.

The attendant next to him gave him a triumphant look, but before he was too happy, he heard An Changqing continue to say: “The formation remains the same, but the team has to be rearranged.”

“General Qi, you will disperse all the Yanzhou Army, mix with the Imperial Guards, and re-discharge the dragon head, the dragon body and the dragon tail.”

Qi Wei immediately took the order. An Changqing just looked at them again and said: “Is it the king’s earth in the whole world, or the king’s minister. Your majesty is the emperor, whether it is the Yanzhou Army or the Imperial Guard, or the children who have not yet joined the army. , Are all your Majesty’s subordinates. It should not be so clear. Fortunately, today is your Majesty’s future. If he comes, you two will not be able to escape a hundred army sticks. He has always hated the most in the army. Pie, you don’t take any side.”

When An Changqing said this, he was not only beating the two of them, but also taking the opportunity to express his attitude.

Since Xiao Zhi Ge became the throne, many soldiers have been promoted in the Yanzhou Army. Naturally, these upstarts and old nobles will inevitably have frictions. One side feels that he is his majesty’s cronies, and he acts more publicly; the other side feels that he is suppressed, but still unwilling. Although contradictions have not yet erupted for the time being, just looking at the Xiaobing’s rehearsal, the two sides have a distinct appearance, and you know that there are many grievances.

If it is not handled properly, I am afraid that the grievances between the two sides will deepen. From this small ice play exercise, it becomes a struggle between the old and the new forces. This is not the situation he and Xiao Zhige want to see.

“The King Goose is right.”

Suddenly a deep voice came from far and near from behind, but Xiao Zhige walked over with his hands behind his back. His eyes (color) looked at the two kneeling people with a deep sigh: “The King Goose is soft-hearted, and only fines you with ten army sticks. I will spare you for the time being. If you commit the crime again next time, you will get a hundred army sticks yourself.”

As he said, he went to see Qi Wei on the side: “And you, let’s lead ten army sticks together.”

Qi Wei’s grievance: “Your Majesty Mingjian, the minister did not fight and make trouble.”

Xiao Zhige sneered coldly: “Did you not pull sideways?”

Qi Wei: “…”

Pulling the side frame or pulling it, in the end it is his own soldiers, people will inevitably be biased. Qi Wei knelt beside the two with a bitter face, and said, “The minister admits punishment.”

Xiao Zhige raised his jaw slightly: “Go and receive the punishment now, I’ll watch.”

The three had to cry in mourning to receive the punishment. The ten army stick is really nothing to the martial artist, but it is embarrassing to be beaten in front of everyone, which is really embarrassing. However, Xiao Zhige seemed to be able to see through their thoughts. He sent Han Zhang to follow him, repeating An Changqing’s words loudly, and then said sharply: “Execution.”

The three of them lay on a bench, because the emperor was staring not far away, and the executioners did not dare to release the water. Every stick was really hard.

Shen Tuliang looked at Qi Wei next to him, gloating and said: “Your Majesty is indeed Shengming, I will ask you to pull sideways next time.”

Qi Wei gritted his teeth and said cruelly: “I won’t pull the side frame next time, I just beat you up, believe it or not?”

“Qi Wei plus ten army sticks.” Xiao Zhige’s cold and ruthless voice came.

Qi Wei: “…………”

The generals couldn’t bear it, and they persuaded, “General Qi, you don’t want to say a few words, this matter is our trouble for you.” Then he went to see Shen Tuliang and said, “This matter is our fault, I apologize to you. . Let’s rehearse the formation together first. If we still don’t agree, let’s try again when we wait.”

Shen Tuliang stalked his neck: “Bi is bi, although we didn’t go to the border (to kill sha) Bei Di, we may not be worse than you.”

During the conversation, the army club had finished beating, and the three of them held their (farts) and were helped down, and the atmosphere was much more harmonious than before.

Qi Wei endured the (fart pi) pain and disrupted the formation of the soldiers again, and then asked them to start the exercise.

Xiao Zhige and An Changqing watched from the side, and whispered: “This Shentuliang is a dare to speak and do, and his son is straight. I don’t know if he would go to the old general Shentu to beg people, he would be willing. Refused to give it.”

The Shentu family is a family of old military generals, and almost all generations have men who have joined the army. When Shen Tuyi was young, he immediately killed the enemy. His son Shen Tu Xu now guards Suzhou, but this single seedling grandson did not join the army. Shen Tubo is clever and alert, and it is rare that he can see the situation clearly. Since Xiao Zhige became the throne, he asked himself to go home and raise him, and he also hinted several times that Shen Tuxu’s military power could also be handed in at any time. Although Xiao Zhige really intends to regain his military power, he is not ready to slay the donkey. Taking this opportunity to promote Shentuliang to compensate for the Shentu family is a good choice.

“Shen Tuliang is a good martial artist. If he really didn’t want him to join the army, he wouldn’t be asked to learn martial arts.” An Changqing said. Although Shentuliang did not join the army for some reason, he felt that General Shentu still hoped that his grandson would inherit the career of his ancestors.

Xiao Zhige nodded: “It’s still too early to say this, it’s better to discuss it later…”

Said and he changed a slightly bitter voice (kiss wen) and said: “I stayed alone in the deep palace for six or seven days. King Goose is really cruel.”

Maybe he suddenly talked about it, An Changqing coughed uncomfortably: “It’s only been five days until I’ve been fully paid.”

Xiao Zhige reluctantly said: “Six days are not too short. Now when do you plan to return to the palace? If you don’t come back, I will live in the Goose Palace.”

An Changqing’s ears were hot, and he glared at him: “I didn’t say I couldn’t go back.”

“Then go back to the palace tonight.” Xiao Zhige hit the railroad while it was hot: “I ask Han Zhang to take An Heng and An Zhu back to the palace.”

When the two children returned to the palace, they were not afraid that An Changqing would not return.

An Changqing actually missed him a little bit. Even though he slept cleanly at night, it was cold in winter and he was chilled. Even if the earth dragon burned in the house, his hands and feet were still cold when he slept at night. Usually when Xiao Zhige is around, he can be encircled in his arms, like a big stove. Now that there is no heater, it will be fine for two or three days, and he is really not used to it when the days are longer.

“What’s the hurry, it’s getting late today, let’s go back tomorrow.”

Xiao Zhige smiled contentedly, brushed his hand across his temples, and whispered: “Then I will stay in the Yanwang Mansion today, and I will return to the palace with the Yanwang tomorrow.”

He is really worried if he doesn’t take the person back to the palace himself.

The author has something to say:

Yejing Tabloid: I heard that King Goose is running!

Counseling: If there is nothing, I will block it if I talk nonsense.
