Cold Palace’s Abandoned Consort

Pei Yuanzhang's mouth was slightly picky, and he looked at them: "How will you punish your sin?"

As soon as this sentence came out, I felt that the atmosphere of the entire Royal Study room was sinking a bit, as if there was a black hand, holding each person's heart in a huff, holding it lightly and suffocating, but not dying.

The officials heard him say that, all of them were shameless, and they knew that it was difficult to get out this time. They all scratched their heads and couldn't speak. The royal study only echoed the sound of his forehead bump against the floor.

Pei Yuanzhang smiled slightly: "You are all the emperor's left-handed emperor. When the emperor was a prince, I often heard the emperor talk about you being worthy of responsibility. So in these years, I also depend on you a few. Although you are old and sick, you have been reluctant to let you resign and return to the field. "Then he sighed longly:" In the end, it's a puppet, it's holding you back. "

Sure enough, as expected.

I listened quietly next to it, not surprised.

Pei Yuanzhang looked at those pale and innocent faces, and suddenly changed his tone: "However, He did not disappoint you."

The ministers were a little stunned and looked up at him.

I saw a sloppy expression on his face, and said, "Sun Qing, you have enlisted 6,000 acres in Huainan in the name of studying, and 14 villages have been forced to relocate, and you have also benefited a lot."

When Sun Yehong, the secretary of the Ministry of Family Affairs, heard this, his face suddenly turned purple and he was speechless.

Pei Yuanzhang laughed again: "Wu Qing's family, you borrowed 70,000 yuan from the state treasury five years ago. Although Jiangnan has reduced a lot of taxes in the past two years, the state treasury has failed to make ends meet, and I have not recovered the money. This 70,000 grains of silver is enough for you to set up a few acres of land in your hometown and build some houses to support them for years. "

"..."

"Song Qing's family, I heard that your son only gave you a grandson last month. It's gratifying. It's ridiculous for Han to mess with Sun. Besides, the case of the Ministry of Deficit has been unclear. Why bother to work like this? "

...

Every time he said something, the people below trembled. In the end, these people have become indifferent. You look at me, I look at you, cold sweat, but no one dares to speak.

At this time, I heard the sound of gently pushing the door from outside, and I also thought of a place. I was standing behind the officials. At this time, I didn't say a word, and just backed out gently. Just retreating to the door, I saw the father-in-law carefully pushing the door away.

As soon as he looked up, he saw me, but he was startled: "Yue--"

I lowered my voice and said, "What is it?"

"Shen Taifu asks to see you."

I smiled in my heart and said, "The emperor is angry, why does the Lord Taifu hit him at this time? Father Jade, persuade me."

In the end, he was following the emperor and the person who had been with Pei Yuanzhang for so long. He naturally understood it, nodded to me, and was about to turn away. At this moment, a cold wind blew through the cracks in the snow. When I came in, the room was warm and warm, so the cold and hot turned me into a shiver.

I thought all of a sudden, even if Shen Gongzhen went back this time, these ministers would go back in the same way at that time.

Thinking about this, I called the father-in-law Jade again, and said, "My father-in-law, Mrs. Shin took the snow to the palace, and there must be something important, so don't delay him. So, the father-in-law still find a seat for him to wait, The emperor is too busy here to play again. "

The father-in-law gave me a glance, and then looked at the gloomy scenes in the Imperial Study, nodded, and turned and left.

I went to the door gently, still turned around and walked back, still standing calmly behind.

This time, the monarch and the minister did not speak anymore, but the royal study room was not quiet. I could almost hear the sound of breathing and heartbeat of everyone, mixing with the wind and snow outside, giving the illusion that it would be turned upside down. .

I don't know how long I stood, at this moment, I suddenly felt that there was a pain in my ankle.

It seems that although the place where the sprain was sprained, although Liu Qinghan rubbed it, it hurt.

I frowned, trying to endure. At this time, the ministers finally seemed to have made up their minds. One of them struck his head heavily: "The emperor said it was extremely true. The old minister is very sick, and it is really difficult to be the emperor. Tomorrow, the old minister will write. The emperor begged the old man for his illness, and Enjun told the old man to return to his hometown. "

Several others heard him say this, and said in succession: "I beg the emperor for gratitude to the old man to return home!"

...

Under the twinkling candlelight, Pei Yuanzhang's face was as calm as before, but there was a light flashing in those deep eyes.

He slowly stood up and said, "Zhong Qing's family said that it was awkward." Silent for a while, he said, "Now it's getting late and the snowstorm outside. Let's go back first. You must think about your resignation clearly, and make up your mind to go back to your watch. Don't act rashly. "

The ministers said, "The ministers will know."

After speaking, he stiffened for a second, then retreated.

I stood by and watched with cold eyes. The incident that happened before them was a secret plan. Liu Qinghan and him may not know how many nights and nights they had hoped for, and finally realized it. The whole of the Central Plains will have earth-shaking influences, but when things are done, there is nothing good about it. The faint pain in the ankles makes me feel a little sleepy.

When the ministers were gone, I went forward and said gently, "The minister has something to play in the emperor."

He raised his eyelid and looked at me.

I calmly said: "Shen Tai Fu Shicai went to the palace to see the emperor. Wei Chen saw that the emperor was busy with the affairs of the emperor.

Without finishing speaking, I looked up to meet his dark eyes, and my heart sank, and I closed my head and lowered my head.

As soon as I paused, he didn't speak, and the royal study room fell into silence again.

But this time, I couldn't hear each other's breath, only the strong winds outside, which made the deadly silence inside, making people extremely difficult.

I endured a slight pain at the ankle, and I never spoke again. I just stood there, I did n’t know how long it took, and finally I heard him say, "Yuquan!"

The father-in-law hurriedly came in, and he commanded: "Tuan Shen Gong."

"Yes."

When I heard this, I was relieved, so I raised my hand and said, "Since the emperor and the lord Tai Fu have a state-policy discussion, Wei Chen complains-"

"You stay." He interrupted me, got up and went to the other seat.

I usually do business here. If I sit in the warm seat, I ’m just talking about narrative, and I saw a chess set on the case, frowning slightly, and I heard him say, "Come here."

"..."

Although I didn't want to be too close to him, in the end Shen Gongzhen was about to come soon. I didn't have to worry too much, so I walked slowly with the pain of my feet. He didn't say anything anymore. After a while, Shen Gong I walked in.

The dignitary's face was not very good-looking, perhaps because he came from the snowstorm with a cold, and kneeled on the ground as soon as he entered the door: "Wei Chen met the emperor."

Pei Yuanzhang glanced at him and said with a smile, "Ai Qing should straighten out."

Shen Gongzhen stood up. When he saw Pei Yuanzhang sitting on the warm seat with a chessboard on his face, he turned around and saw that I was still standing next to him. His face suddenly became cloudy and cloudy, thinking about it, Still said: "The emperor, Wei Chen entered the palace this time for the fraud at the examination room today."

Pei Yuanzhang said, "Ai Qing doesn't need to say, I already know."

Shen Gongzhen saw that he was not furious, there was even a smile in his eyes, and he was a little confused, but he did not dare to speak easily.

Pei Yuanzhang said: "The imperial examination was originally an opportunity for the court to recruit good talents for thousands of years. He also paid special attention to it, but now he is actually doing party and private business for some people and selling it to officials and concubines. Alas, it is really sad!

After that, he hammered the table hard.

Shen Gongyi was stunned and knelt down again: "Emperor!"

Pei Yuanzhang busy again: "Ai Qing get up."

Shen Gongyi stood up again, and looked at him more and more uneasily. Pei Yuanxi said: "This time, I have thoroughly investigated the case, and the people involved will be punished severely. I'm afraid that fraud cases will continue in the future. What will happen to me in that time! "

"Emperor Yingming!"

Seeing his words lead to this, Shen Gongming was about to say something. Pei Yuanzhang suddenly waved his hands again: "Well, these troublesome things, let alone mention them."

"what……?"

"Speaking of it, I haven't discussed chess with Ai Qing for a few days, just tonight I have some interest, Ai Qing enters the palace again, it's better for you and me to come and play in two games."

Shen Gongyu has been a little overwhelmed by him back and forth since he entered the door, but it doesn't look like he is about to be guilty, and it seems that the case of fraud in the examination room did not involve himself, but he was relieved. Then he sat sideways opposite the emperor.

Pei Yuanzhang has started playing chess: "Yue Qingying, hold tea."

"Yes."

I stood for a long time, the pain in the ankle was getting heavier, but he opened his mouth, and I had no choice but to force himself to walk over to take the tea tray, and carefully placed the tea on both sides of the case, his forehead was cold and sweaty. When it was close to the candlelight, cold sweat flowed out.

He glanced at me, and I pursed my fading lips, and stepped aside again.

Their monarchs and kings would fight on the warm seat of the Imperial Study Room. You came and went, and it was only two hours before the end of the game. Pei Yuanzhang won six sons, but also said that Shen Gongji gave up. under.

The mule knocked three times. Shen Gongzhen was in trouble, and was about to say, "The emperor-"

Pei Yuanzhang bowed her head, and said without raising her head: "Yes, I went to Zhonghua Temple and looked at it evenly two days ago. This child is good, quiet, and I like it very much."

Upon hearing this, Shen Gong said, "It is the emperor's joy."

Pei Yuanzhang looked up at him: "Tongxi, Tongxi."

I stood next to me. Although I was still indifferent at this time, only I knew it, but the inside was suffering like a fire, and my vision was a little blurred. The candlelight in the royal study was bright, but it made me look like a vast snow scene. It was dazzlingly white, and the sun shone from the clouds, scattered on the snowdrift, reflecting a snow-blue, almost brilliant light.

Even more brilliant is that person's smile.

I was stunned for a while, but fortified and opened my eyes.

On the dark face, his eyes narrowed slightly, and there was a clear light, but there was something slowly settling in it. His teeth were very white, and it gave him an extraordinarily gorgeous feeling when he smiled. Everywhere, it will let the spring bloom there.

It seemed to me that I couldn't help but warm up with his smile.

But around me, it was clearly winter.

Not only was it cold, those heavy snow fell, and the bitter cold accumulated on my body. The cold air broke through the bones, and I could hardly help trembling. The snow fell under my feet, slowly accumulating, and did not pass my ankle. There was a slight pain, and at this time it was a bit painful.

I bit my lower lip and barely allowed myself to support it, but these days, I have consumed too many gods for the things entrusted by Chang Qing. Standing to this point, it is almost the end of a crossbow.

I am so tired……

The two people in the warm seat seem to be playing chess with you back and forth. I just feel cold sweat behind my forehead. I can't tell whether it is cold or hot. I just feel that my whole body is uncomfortable. Two steps back and leaned against the wall ...

I have forgotten when I closed my eyes, only when my mind slowly recovered from the darkness, did I realize that I was asleep.

what happened? I--

Before I opened my eyes, I felt that my whole body was shaking, there was a feeling of violent turbulence, and when I was more awake, I felt like I was being held by someone. The hot body temperature was ironed around, so that My slight palpitations.

The feeling is--

I opened my eyes suddenly.
