Entering the study, Zhu Ruodeng called out respectfully: "Sir."
"Your Highness is here, how is the outcome today?" Lu Shiyi asked with a smile, putting down the objects in his hands.
Zhu Ruodeng's eyes were sharp and he discovered that what the gentleman was holding was a picture of a comet with 200,000 guan and a foot long Qing Hu Sanniang. Among the horse cranes, this one was the only one that showed the female general from the Water Margin. He couldn't help but feel happy, Mr. Lu
As expected of a celebrity, he loves beauty rather than the country. "Sir, I am very lucky today, and I have won consecutively."
"Well, thank you for your hard work, Your Highness. From now on, you will have to come here several times a month to deal with sensual and erotic matters," Lu Shiyi said with a smile.
"Sir, would you like me to make more friends through this drama?"
"Well," Lu Shiyi nodded, then shook his head, "Your Highness, do you know what will happen if you become the banker in a horse-drawn game but don't have good cards in your hand?"
"If you don't have good cards as a banker, then you have to play the banker."
"Here," Lu Shiyi paused and looked directly at Zhu Ruodeng, "Your Highness, do you think you have good cards in your hand?"
Zhu Ruodeng suddenly realized that among the ministers who supported him, there were very few senior ministers and most of them had no real power. If they performed too well, they would easily become the target of everyone's attention, just like trying to force a banker without good cards. Since the strength is insufficient, it is better to be sensual and sensual.
Fan, so that the crown prince can rest assured.
In the beginning, he had no intention of seizing his direct descendants, but under the provocation of caring people like Lu Shiyi and Chen Shou, intentionally or unintentionally, his desire for power was fully aroused. After all, he was the supreme leader of the Nine-Five-Year Plan, the one who dominated all directions in the Nine Provinces.
Existence. The temptation is so great, how can you care about brotherhood? There is only one throne!
He thanked him politely: "Thank you sir for your advice." Suddenly he felt a little unconfident. There were so few people supporting him and so many people supporting the prince's brother. Do he really have a chance to ascend to the throne? He couldn't help but sigh: "It's good to hide one's weakness in the country."
,How dare you look at the sky?"
Seeing that King Ji was a little depressed, Lu Shiyi laughed and said, "Sometimes it is a good thing to desecrate oneself. How can young people not like to play? If you make sensual remarks from time to time, His Majesty will only think that you are innocent and simple; on the contrary, the one in the East Palace
You have been talking about your position all day and night, and in His Majesty's eyes, you are very scheming. Sometimes, if you don't fight, you will fight. You don't need to do anything now. You usually go to college to study, and you can hang out and drink during your breaks." Seeing that Zhu Ruodeng's face looked better, Lu Shiyi continued what he just sighed and chanted: "The sky changes the earth, and whatever you like, it must be a real dragon."
"Your Highness, the Imperial Concubine invites you to enter the palace." The two were talking when the chamberlain came to report.
Zhu Ruodeng stuck out his tongue, "I guess the mother-in-law learned the news about Gu Da Ma Diao and wanted to summon Gu Gu into the palace to investigate the crime."
??
The word "Yi" means assistant. The Queen's palace is Kunning Palace, and "Yikun" means assisting the Queen in managing the Sixth Palace.
Yikun Palace is located to the north of Yongshou Palace, to the south of Chuxiu Palace, and to the east of Changchun Palace. The East and West Twelve Palaces are all to the east, close to the central axis, and close to Qianqing Palace (the main hall of the inner court).
This is a courtyard with two entrances. The main hall is five rooms wide, with yellow glazed tiles resting on the top of the mountain. There are corridors at the front and back. Dougongs are installed under the eaves, and the beams and beams are decorated with Su-style colorful paintings. In the middle of the bright room, there are a flat throne, a screen, an incense table, and a palace fan. There is also a plaque "Virtuous and Virtuous" written by Emperor Guangwu on the door of the main hall. In addition to the main hall, there are auxiliary halls in the east and west, namely Yanhong Hall and Yuanhe Hall, with three rooms each. There are also five back halls and the main hall. , front and rear doors open; there are three east and west auxiliary halls on the left and right of the apse?? In short, it is very big.
At this time, Concubine Chen Huang was sitting on the throne in the middle of the main hall, wearing a phoenix crown, decorated with pearls and hairpins, and wearing a light-colored phoenix robe with gold and red makeup. At the age of fifty-two, she could not stop her after all. Over time, wrinkles have appeared at the corners of the eyes, but the skin is well maintained.
Sitting next to her is her daughter, Princess Zhu Huilao of Yangshuo.
She has two daughters, both of whom are married. There is no such thing as love or political marriage. The eldest daughter, Princess Zhu Huishan of Yining, deprived Duke Mu Tianbo of Guizhou from his right to control Yunnan after the old emperor conquered Yunnan. In order to appease Mu Tianbo married Zhu Huixiang to Mu Zhonghan, Mu Tianbo's son. They were married thousands of miles away, and it was difficult for mother and daughter to see each other; their second daughter, Yangshuo Princess Zhu Huilao, was married to Fu by the old emperor in order to win over the Western Army's surrender. Liu Zhen, son of the Marquis Liu Wenxiu, is in Beijing and can visit his mother and concubine in the palace from time to time.
The palace ladies holding palace fans are arranged in two rows, standing solemnly, showing the majesty of the hostess. Chen was born in a general family, has a strong nature, does not get angry and is powerful, and the palace people fear her, respect her, and never dare to be presumptuous. p>
Emperor Guangwu liked to play chess, but in the harem only the Chen family dared not to give way to the emperor, and often killed the emperor to defeat him. When playing chess, the important thing is not to give in an inch, and to make concessions, so the chess game is boring. Therefore, the game is boring. , Zhu Hengjia came to Yikun Palace from time to time to talk with Chen.
The people in the harem are the most snobbish. Concubine Chen's status in the palace is only lower than that of Queen Shi. She is also favored by the Holy Family. Which palace person dares not to fear her? She is also very strict and strictly abides by the palace rules. If she is afraid, she will do anything. Added a little more respect.
As soon as Zhu Ruodeng entered the main hall of Yikun Palace, he noticed that Mrs. Chen's face was not kind, and there was an angry look between her eyebrows. She secretly screamed something bad, and hurriedly stepped forward and kowtowed to her mother, "My son pays homage to my mother, my concubine, may she be blessed and safe." .
"I heard that you often meet with Yang Fuchen, Chen Shou and the others to play horse games and drink and have fun? You are very happy and happy, and you don't care about your ancestors at all." Concubine Chen snorted coldly. This is a serious statement. Elevating playing cards to the political level of playing with things and losing one's ambition.
"Although I have fought with them several times, I never dare to neglect my studies. In the college assessment, every subject is A-grade." Seeing that his mother-in-law was angry, Zhu Ruodeng explained quickly.
"Hmph, have you read Wu Weiye's "Sui Kou Chronicles"?" Mrs. Chen snorted again and asked.
"I occasionally dabble in it."
"Then how does he evaluate the Chinese people's habit of hanging?"
"This," Zhu Ruodeng said with a grimace, "after Jiashen, Mr. Wu once said, 'The Ming Dynasty died in Ma Diao'."
People in the Ming Dynasty were famous for their fondness for playing horse tags. Wang Chongjian's "Winter Night Notes" said: "The scholar-bureaucrats like it (horse tags), and they are so crazy about it that they spend all their days and nights." Feng Menglong specially wrote a book called "The Book of Horse Tags"
"; Wu Weiye's "Sui Kou Jilue" said: "In the late Wanli years, the folk were good at leaf opera. In the Zhao and Song Dynasties, Shandong bandits fought with their names on the cards, and it flourished in the Chongzhen period." After Jiashen, he reflected: "The death of the Ming Dynasty
, died in Ma Diao", that means that the reason why the Ming Dynasty collapsed was all because these scholar-bureaucrats had no ambition to serve the country and spent all day playing cards and drinking.
"Kneel down!"
Chen was furious when he heard this, "Since you know that this is a drama of national subjugation, how dare you play with things and lose your ambition, abandoning the country of your ancestors without caring about it? China is in a state of chaos, and your father, the emperor, has promoted righteousness in Guangxi and survived nine deaths to conquer the world. How dare you do this!"<
/p>
After saying that, Mrs. Chen ordered someone to get a ruler, and she wanted to use the ancestral family method on the dignified King Ji.
Zhu Ruodeng was very aggrieved and did not dare to tell his mother that this was Master Lu's advice to "hide one's strength, bide one's time and taint oneself". After all, walls have ears, and the harem was a place of trouble. There were countless pairs of eyes staring at his mother and son, and there were some things he couldn't say directly.
I had no choice but to kneel on the ground and shout, "I know I was wrong."
"Mother and concubine, my little brother has grown up and is aware of his mistakes. Please forgive me, mother." The love between sister and brother is deep, and Yangshuo Princess Zhu Huiyao quickly interceded for her brother.
After listening to her daughter's words, Concubine Chen Huang thought that her son had grown up after all and was now a prince. If he continues to practice the ancestral family methods as he did when he was a child, he would inevitably lose the majesty of the king." Her anger subsided and she coldly snorted: "You
Now that you are aware of your mistake, I will punish you by kneeling outside the palace gate for an hour."
The wind is blowing, and outside the main hall of Yikun Palace, King Zhu Ruodeng of Ji is kneeling silently.
