Cold Palace’s Abandoned Consort

I said, "This place, please don't let people go in easily, let alone move things inside."

He looked into my eyes and said, "Why?"

why? Because it's all the hard work of Fu Bazhen.

Last time, Liu Qinghan's burning of the Xiandian Temple had made him hate to say the curse of "Can't die well". I can imagine how much that incident hit him, especially the one who did it in person. The disciple under the income gate, I can imagine how painful he is; now, in order to record the ancient books that were destroyed by the fire, he made his head white. I do n’t know how much he took away, but I know that It is impossible to take away so many books in the temple.

These are more important than the fate of the dynasty.

I said gently: "The things inside are so important, I don't want anyone to touch them."

His breath suddenly sank.

I looked up and was about to say something, but when he saw that he didn't wait for me to say anything, he turned and walked forward.

I was a little hesitant for a while, especially looking at his back. There was a stubbornness that could not be resisted and refuted by anyone, leaving me no room to speak, but to slowly follow him and walk back to the palace.

The gate was closed behind.

I didn't look back, but I also knew that he heard the heavy breath, and he didn't leave, but stood at the door.

His heart seemed to be messed up.

But this is not something I want to care about now. After going out for so long, I met so many people and heard so many things. I was too tired, so I did n’t look back, and walked slowly to the inner room. . Opening the bead curtain shone brightly, he just walked one step and heard him say, "Why don't you speak?"

I didn't stop walking, and continued slowly forward: "What do you want me to say?"

Hearing me, he paused.

I have already made it clear about the Jixian Temple just now. On the way, he and I walked back without saying a word. If I were to say something, I really do n’t know, and his The problem seems too abrupt.

But his tone seemed to take for granted, what should I say at this time.

He was silent for a while and then said, "Are he alive?"

When I heard this question, I was a bit caught off guard and I was choked by my breath.

Gritting his teeth, I said, "Of course he is alive!"

He said behind him, "But the poison is poisoned, and no one can survive."

This sentence was like a red-burned needle, severely pierced into my chest, and also pierced the calm and supportable surface that I could support. I turned my head sharply and wobbled across a layer Some bead curtains looked at him, both eyes looked a little flashed, but neither step forward.

"In his life, he has encountered many scourges and many miserable things, but he has been alive and well, and has never bowed his head to fate."

I said, word by word, "He must be alive!"

Pei Yuanxiu's eyes flickered suddenly, then fainted.

He looked at me calmly for a while. I thought he had something to say, but he suddenly said, "Have a good rest."

After speaking, he quickly turned around and opened the door.

I stood in the inner room, looking at the curtain that was blown in continuously by the wind that had just poured in when the door was just opened, and felt the chill that the cold wind brought across my cheeks, and it was a little bit cold.

At that moment, I was out of control.

Obviously it was Xie Houqi who deliberately said those words to stimulate us, but-this is probably a thorn in Pei Yuanxiu's heart, and indeed, it has always been a wound in my heart.

Just being calmed down by the wind, I could not help frowning.

Xie Houqi, why suddenly want to mention light cold?

Also, he just said that he thought of a way to solve the problem between them. What is it?

In fact, even if Pei Yuanxiu couldn't control Jiangnan now, there was no way to hand over the taxes of the rich land to Shengjing, but a battle was fought and plundered the wealth of the entire capital. Got oil. He knows the taste of the spine, and he doesn't know if there will be any poisonous means.

I can imagine that this man is cunning and stubborn, and he will definitely not have any good strategies. If he hits his mind on the people, this world will only make things worse!

|

For the next two days, I did not see Pei Yuanxiu again.

However, as the weather gradually improved and the surrounding snow and ice gradually melted away, I also had the opportunity to step out of this sleeping palace, although it was also under the care of Huazhu Yunshan, only a few nearby palaces Walking inside the door is much better than before.

So I spend more time going out.

Because of this, I heard much more than before.

For example,-Pei Yuanxiu gave the nine gates of Beijing to Xie Yi.

For example-for example, those soldiers in the south were temporarily soothed.

For example, there are several big camps around Beijing, as if there are some new trends.

...

For example,-Pei Yuanxiu began to convene civil and military officials in the DPRK to agree on some issues regarding the ascent.

When I heard the last news, I wasn't too surprised. After all, he had already occupied the capital, and the powerful gentry everywhere were his people. It was natural for him to become king. Moreover, only after he officially ascended the throne did he have formal authority to issue decrees across the country, such as increasing taxes.

In the two days I was able to walk freely in the palace, I also met the evil Hou Qi. Every time I saw him from a distance, he would give me a cold glance, and his face was full of disgusting evil sneer.

I really ca n’t treat this person calmly, and I also understand better that Pei Yuanxiu is too entangled with him. Now Sheng Jing is waiting for benefits, and this person, his appetite, is not easy to fill up. .

After all, **** is hard to fill!

However, the only thing that surprised me a bit was that from the outside, there were some people everywhere, especially some wealthy businessmen, and even powerful gentry in some places, and they all started to enter the capital one after another.

Beijing, which became somewhat barren because of the war, finally started to gain a little popularity.

This surprised me.

However, the people of the Song family also entered the capital.

This is not a surprise. After the war in Cangzhou, Song Huaiyi once promised Mrs. Zhang to let her old man return to the capital city. Now that the capital city has won it, he must of course fulfill his promise.

It's just that I don't know what kind of mood this old man who has been pretending to be stupid to see in Beijing look like now.

On this day, Pei Yuanxiu took me out of the palace and went to the Song family to see Zhang Taijun.

Since returning from Chongyun Pavilion that day, I still leave the palace for the first time, and the streets are still deserted. Although I can see some figures in some houses have begun to appear, after all, the situation is unknown and there are no streets. What street vendors dare to come out and do business, they are even more afraid of being looted by soldiers, so there are not many pedestrians.

Although it was spring and the weather was fine, the breeze blew through and rolled some hay and shreds on the street, which gave people a feeling of autumn wind.

I just glanced out and immediately lowered the curtain.

Pei Yuanxiu sat on the other side of the carriage and closed his eyes to reconcile himself. He seemed to be aware of everything outside and was not interested.

The Song family ’s house in Beijing is also pretty good. If it ’s normal, this place is obviously a lively area where daguans and nobles come and go.

But now, we are so deserted that only our horseshoes are left.

The carriage stopped at the door. As soon as we got out of the car, a group of young ladies and maids ran out of the gate. Song Huaiyi had already led Song Yong and his family members to welcome them, and practiced a gift to Pei Yuan: "My son!"

Pei Yuanxiu nodded and stepped forward.

As soon as Song Huaiyi saw me coming with him, the crowd did not see the figure of the Han family sisters, and the smile in his eyes deepened a bit. After a few words of embarrassment by several of them, Song Huaiyi leaned over and said to me: Miss Yan, haven't seen you for a long time, don't come here. "

I smiled slightly: "Long Song, it's been a long time."

Song Huaiyi said: "Listening to children, this road has gone through a lot of hardships. We are relieved to see Miss Yan today, and we are relieved. My mother has been thinking about you."

As soon as he said of Zhang Taijun, I immediately said, "Is she okay?"

"Fortunately, even if the weather is still cold, her legs and feet are not very flexible, and she cannot come out to meet the two, please forgive me."

Pei Yuanxiu said: "The elderly's body matters. Lightness, let's go and see her."

I originally came to visit Mrs. Zhang. I nodded hurriedly after hearing what he said, and Song Huaiyi brought his family and led us in. Although the Song family ’s residence in Beijing is not as large as the post station in Cangzhou, it is picturesquely built against the mountain, but it is also not small, and the scenery inside is not bad. As soon as he entered the capital, Song Xuan probably Someone was sent to guard this place, so it was not ransacked and attacked by others.

We also went to the deepest courtyard in the mansion, where Mrs. Zhang lives and rests.

When he saw us walking in, the old man hurriedly got up from the bed and happily stretched out his hand toward me: "Daughter-in-law!"

I was just stunned, but didn't care too much about her title, walked over and held her hands: "Old lady!"

"Oh, daughter-in-law, daughter-in-law!"

She probably really looks forward to seeing me again. At this time, she looked at me, her eyes became a little red, and she stroked the back of my hand constantly: "I haven't seen you for a long time, where have you been? Why don't you come to see me? This old woman? "

I said softly, "I've been out recently, so I can't come out."

"Chaos outside?" Zhang Zhangtai blinked and grasped my hand tightly: "Then you don't go back, just be here with me and sleep with me at night. Don't let people outside disturb us . "

I smiled, and looked at Pei Yuanxiu without saying a word. Obviously, he couldn't take this sentence seriously. At this time, he took a step forward and leaned down gently: "Old lady."

Zhang Laotaijun then turned his attention to him: "His Royal Highness ...?"

"Old lady, don't come here?"

"I am old and tough." Zhang Taitaijun looked at him with a smile: "His Royal Highness, why is it so long, hasn't come?"

Pei Yuanxiu said: "Recently outside chaos."

"Oh."

"My palace, it's messing up anyway."

Mrs Zhang Zhang blinked and looked at him, as if she couldn't understand the meaning of this sentence. I subconsciously turned my head to look at him, but Song Huaiyi, who was standing behind him, flashed a little deep light in his eyes. .

Everyone speaks again, and it ’s just the words of humiliation. After a while, Pei Yuanxiu and Song Huaiyi had “the right thing” to talk about, and went to the other side, and I could n’t have been involved in their discussion. The old lady treated me warmly and refused to let go of my hand, so she simply stayed here to spend more time with the elderly.

When they left, after the maidservants put down their hot tea snacks, and they all left, I turned to look at Mrs. Zhang. There was no obvious change in the old man and just now, but there was some lack of breath, and I fell back to the bed and leaned on it. , A slight gasp.

I hurriedly reached out to help her caress her chest and smooth her breath: "Old lady, how are you doing?"

"so far so good."

She smiled lightly, and there was a lot of regret in the smile, looking at me: "What about you?"

I smiled slightly, "I'm fine."

She looked at me for a while, and the embarrassment and weakness on her face became more obvious. When she left Cangzhou before, she heard Madam Song saying she was ill. Now it seems that she is not completely pretending to be ill. She sighed in a low voice and said, "I had wanted to come to the capital for a long time, but I didn't expect it to be like this now--" she said, looking up at me: "Miss Yan, the emperor sires him, he really Are you gone? "

I nodded slightly.

"Then, is he safe?"

I thought about it and said, "He left, it was planned early, and it should be safe. There was no greater war on the Beijing side. He should be protected by the army. For the time being, there would be no danger."

Hearing what I said, the old lady Zhang was finally relieved.

But between the eyebrows, there was still some disappointment that she couldn't hide, she murmured, "Why run away?"

When she said that, I smiled bitterly.

Actually, it ’s not just her, I, but too many people. Even, I do n’t doubt that she left with Pei Yuanzhang. Even if it is Chang Qing, there must be disappointment in the heart. People are bloody, even if they are such an elderly The elderly, even a weak woman, will have the courage to rise up when she is forced into despair.

However, this is ordinary people.

But Pei Yuanzhang is an emperor. What he is thinking about is not a matter of smashing his life with one blood. He should be very clear that he and Pei Yuanxiu are against each other. The outcome is unknown.

But with Sheng Jing's men, he can't win.

I sighed and said gently, "Perhaps, His Majesty has his own consideration ..."

"Although there are considerations, but the throne, how can you let people do this!"

"Old lady ... you know, Pei Yuanxiu is ready to ascend the throne."

"Of course I know," she said, showing a sad expression, shaking her head and saying, "My son, they are rushing into the capital just for this matter. I'm afraid you don't know yet. Now the Cui family. Destroyed, it was almost copied, all the property was sent to Beijing. "

"..."

In fact, I shouldn't be surprised.

After the collapse of the Cui family, the Song family completely stood firm in front of Pei Yuanxiu, and from now on, after they entered Beijing, Pei Yuanxiu came to their house to discuss matters, and he also saw that he completely believed in them. This is naturally a good thing. I have always hoped that Zhang Tai Taijun and Song Xuan could be preserved. No matter what other things, Zhang Tai Taijun should not be implicated; and Song Xuan, I only hope that he can be safe, and never again Any danger happened.

As for the Cui family being copied ... Now, Pei Yuanxiu is short of money.

The evil Hou Qi is pressing hard again, copying a few big families, it can be considered as an immediate urgency.

Hearing what I said, Mrs. Zhang looked out of the window and determined that there were no people close to her, and she got close to my ears and said in a low voice, "I listen to my son, now they are selling officials."

"what?"

I was shocked and looked at her with eyes wide open.

Mrs. Zhang nodded and said, "You see how many people have come to Beijing recently. I feel weird. These people were silent before. Now that the battle has just been completed, there should not be so many people. The city is rushing, but there are so many people, and I was on the road, and I saw a lot of people who came with their family. I heard them talking to my son and my son, and I realized that they came to Beijing. One thing is waiting for the ceremony, the other is to get a job with half office. I heard that some price tags are already marked now. "

"..."

I frowned suddenly.

I was wondering before. In addition to Song Huaiyi, those powerful gentry who once attached to His Majesty and helped him to fight when Pei Yuan Xiu Xiu, there were so many people who did not show their attitude in the war and only watched their changes. Now, all have flowed into the capital. It turned out that now that Pei Yuanxiu has occupied the capital, even if the situation is clear, they will express their position.

And, the buyer ...

One is to show their position, and the other is that they are now short of money. Such a large amount of income is like rain in time!

The evil Hou Qi said that day, thinking of a method, is it this method?

I could not help frowning.

This is indeed the ills of corruption in the Central Plains dynasty. In addition, there is too much official title vacancies waiting for the emperor to become a court prince now. "I don't understand the" own gold house ", how can I know how to buy and sell the official.

The method he thought should be more direct and rude than this.

But no matter what, this has already happened. When Pei Yuan's amendment to the throne begins, he can issue a decree to the whole country, and then these officials who sell will officially take office. By then, these people will be afraid of becoming A batch of country maggots.

I sighed and shook my head.

Mrs. Zhang looked at me and said gently: "Miss Yan, you stay here, not a long-term plan. Since Her Majesty the Emperor has left the capital, you should think of a way to leave as soon as possible. But-"

She looked at my belly.

Obviously, although it is not a pot-bellied stool, she has known about pregnancy and probably already considered it for a long time.

I was silent for a while and said, "I have my own plans for this."

Mrs. Zhang nodded and said, "Ms. Yan is an understanding person. If you have a plan, you will not worry about it."

"..."

"I'm just worried about one person now."

"...!"

My heart moved slightly, and I looked up at her, seeing her gaze also look a little dignified, and said three words gently-"the Lord."

I lowered my voice: "You know what?"

I froze and looked up at her. Zhang Taitaijun said very carefully, "When Xuaner came back, he told me only one person. You can rest assured that even if the old man dreams and talks in a dream, he won't tell it Go out. "

"..."

By the way, Song Xuan knew the cause and effect of the incident, and he would not conceal his best grandmother, so I said gently: "This matter is important, the old lady must be cautious. What happened ... Pei Yuanxiu looked very closely, even I didn't mention this person in the palace, so I think he will not do anything to the emperor for the time being, but he won't let him go like this. "

Mrs. Zhang looked at me: "Mr. Tai, is there no danger?"

I thought about it and said, "It should be for the time being, it should not be."

Pei Yuanxiu didn't do it because of the anger on the night when the Chongyun Pavilion was destroyed, and now he should calm down, it should be even more impossible; and I remembered the sentence that I saw when I settled down in Jixian Temple-born different Like, Emperor Star has three.

In the past ten years, too much emperor Pei Jixun was in the palace, but he did not really abdicate. He and Pei Yuanzhang's existence is Emperor Xingxing. Now, Pei Yuanxiu is ready to ascend the throne. It seems that he is The third emperor star, since this is the case, it means that the people of Qin Tianjian did not read it wrong. Indeed, there were three emperor stars. The three of them existed at the same time.

In other words, Pei Ji should be okay for now, at least before Pei Yuanxiu becomes king.

But then ... it's hard to say.

I mumbled, "The trouble is that he doesn't even know where he is being held."

Looking at me with a sad face, Mrs. Zhang said gently, "Ms. Yan should not be too worried. Although she is old and frail, she still knows some people in the capital. Even if she is useless, there are still declarations. Son ... whether it's the Emperor's business or Miss Yan's business, he can go to the fire. "

I hurriedly said, "Old lady, don't have this idea. Old lady is old, and you should enjoy your old age. Now these things make you worry about day and night, we are not right. As for Song Ergong, he is a Good man, and a promising young man, I believe his future is limitless. I, although I have come to this step, I am not yet in despair ... But no matter what, I do n’t want anyone to do it for me anymore Hurt, especially you and Song Ergong. Please do n’t get involved easily! "

Speaking, the day appeared before my eyes, the situation in which I had no desire to die in front of me.

I couldn't help but choked, and I said softly, "I, I can no longer see the person I care about, leave me."

Seeing my slightly red eyes and listening to my sad words, Zhang Qingtaijun's clear eyes seemed to see through the sadness in my heart. She didn't say anything, just gently, holding my hand in my palm. .
