At this moment, there was a knock on the door. Before King Jin could ask who it was, the person outside answered on his own: "Your Majesty, it's me."
Then, without being invited by the King of Jin, Xie Zhou pushed the door open with one hand and barged in with a food box in the other, like an uninvited guest.
After coming in, he put down the food box, turned around and closed the door, then picked up the food box with a "Hey!" as if the food box weighed a thousand kilograms and could feed an elephant.
King Jin pointed at him and clicked twice: "It's outrageous to come uninvited."
Xie Zhou opened the food box and carried the snacks from the inside out: "I am afraid that the prince will drink too much wine and hurt his spleen and stomach, and there is no red sleeve to add fragrance, so I have to come in person to cheer up the prince."
He put various snacks on the table, then opened a wine cup, filled a glass, and took a sip: "Sister Yue, did you really get the letter?"
As soon as Song Huiyue came back, she sent him to the Song family to report the news. After he came back from the Song family, he circled around King Jin again and knew no more than King Jin.
King Jin nodded: "Today is really..."
He was quite frightened.
Xie Zhou took another sip: "Where did you find it?"
After drinking, he raised the jug to pour wine for King Jin. King Jin covered the cup, so he put down the jug, picked up a piece of cake and gave it to King Jin.
"In the Zhang family's glass house, the glass is inlaid with fish bladder glue. King Chen stuffed the letter in the fish bladder glue."
"Swim bladder glue?" Xie Zhou was speechless for the first time.
Over the years, he had followed Xie Chuan to serve the King of Jin. He originally thought that he was living in the soul of his old father, looking at everything in the court through his old father's eyes. Even though he was not a know-it-all, he still knew about everything. However,
At this moment, he realized that he knew nothing about King Chen.
He had never thought that things could be hidden in fish bladder glue.
How can a person's head hold such fantastic ideas?
"Sister Yue, did you smash the glass greenhouse?"
King Jin nodded: "With her temperament, how could she leave the Zhang family if she doesn't find the things."
If you are stubborn, you will accept death.
"Does the Zhang family just admit it? Will they cause trouble for Sister Yue? How about letting Sister Yue go out to avoid it?"
"As long as the Zhang family is not stupid and knows that the things are in my hands, they will not make any extra trouble to deal with Huiyue. How about Mrs. Song?"
"What Mrs. Song? That's your mother-in-law," Xie Zhou laughed, "That's good. When I told Sister Yue that she was in the palace, Mrs. Song felt relieved and even said she would break her legs."
King Jin also smiled when he heard his joke, and then said seriously: "Don't say this in front of others. The situation is still chaotic. Your Majesty actually intends to hand over my marriage to Zhang Guifei. At this time, the Song family should not take the lead.
good."
Xie Zhou also looked solemn: "You are so confused today? Don't worry, the outside world also knows that the Song family has saved your life. We haven't said much else. If Concubine Zhang makes a fuss about your marriage, we will
It also messed up Zhang Xutang’s marriage.”
King Jin looked at Xie Zhou and suddenly felt emotion in his heart - Xie Zhou was also old.
Old people and old things have special weight in his heart, because they all bear the traces left by Queen Mother Pei and Queen Pei. Although these traces are gradually changing, he still feels good.
It was so good that even if Xie Zhou talked nonsense in front of him all day long, he still felt good about it.
These old people are like fragments piece by piece, together with the new people, they form an indestructible him, and Song Huiyue is hidden in his soul. I am in you, and you are in me, which is the most important thing.
Thinking of this, he picked up the jug, poured half a cup and drank it himself, and said to Xie Zhou: "I, the crazy macaque, also want to change my clothes."
His tone was calm, as if he was mocking himself, but also as if he didn't care about Master Zhizhen's Buddhist verses.
Although the wine was not much, it was enough to cheer him up and regain his brilliance. There were two twinkling lights in his peach blossom eyes and he smiled, as if he knew that there were tigers in the mountains and preferred to go to the tiger mountains.
Xie Zhou asked behind him: "What crazy macaque? Why are you talking about monkeys all of a sudden?"
King Jin smiled and did not answer, and just walked to the bedroom, walking easily.
At the fourth watch, before dawn, the officials all hung a white paper lantern into the Xuande Gate. More than a hundred lights flowed in the dim sky, illuminating the gold nails, red lacquer, and dragon and phoenix emblems on the gate tower.
There were a lot of people in the hospital, all discussing that Prime Minister Zhang's house had been robbed last night and that Prime Minister Zhang's private seal and some calligraphy written by Prime Minister Zhang were lost.
Then there was the dispute between Su Ting of the Grand Prime Minister's Temple and the King of Jin. Even the King of Jin's accusations against Concubine Zhang were spread.
Everyone went to see Tai Jian who was present, and they all guessed that there would be a storm today.
Especially Fang Weichun, who has an old grudge with the Zhang family, and Sun Yan, who dislikes the Imperial Army. They will definitely seize this opportunity and lash out.
When it came time to go to court, these two people indeed came to remonstrate with Jin Shang, demanding that Zhang Guifei and Su Ting be severely punished. Others believed that the King of Jin ignored the law and obstructed the imperial army from arresting people, so that the thieves escaped. King Jin
They should also be punished.
No one mentioned that King Jin was related to the thief - after all, King Jin was stimulated by Concubine Zhang first and then went to pay homage to his deceased mother, which had nothing to do with the thief.
When Concubine Zhang was remonstrated, Prime Minister Zhang remained calm and did not speak out in defense. Even everyone in the Zhang faction remained silent.
After hearing this, he refused to accept the advice and thought that the incident between King Jin and Su Ting was a misunderstanding. Concubine Zhang's arrogance was also due to the negligence of the etiquette officer and had nothing to do with Concubine Zhang. He would replace the etiquette instructor next to Concubine Zhang and Su Ting would punish her.
Salary March.
Just when everyone was losing interest, Liu Baoqi suddenly came out.
"I saw that Zhang Guifei's heavenly kindness was profound and unparalleled, which was a great honor. However, the imperial concubine was lucky enough to be here today, so she acted arbitrarily and stole the rituals of the middle palace. The place where she lived was openly called the palace. She was extremely luxurious and attracted the attention of the public.
The world is talking about it, because your majesty is wise, and the concubine has an elder brother as the prime minister. If your majesty has given you a favor, people will think that Prime Minister Zhang is a mediocre talent. They all entered the harem. Your majesty should demote you to the position of concubine as a punishment.
Otherwise, all the etiquette and laws in the world will be in chaos.
Furthermore, Commander Su has no respect for his subjects. He has always been admonished by Taiwan. He actually killed two guards of the Jin Palace last night. Everyone was shocked. The imperial army is the sharp weapon of the capital, one of the country's military headquarters, and it has the most important position.
Even more so than the Privy Council, when it comes to matters related to the state, I dare not remain silent. Today Su Ting kills the palace guards, and one day he can kill the court officials and their belongings. If there is someone who covets the big position in the future, Ting can be of great use? I think, Su Ting
We should take the blame and avoid it, except for the commander-in-chief of the three yamen, so as not to panic the loyal people of the court.
I hope your majesty will follow my advice. If your majesty does not accept my advice, please demote me."
After that, he took off his black gauze hat and raised it high above his head. There was silence in the hall for a while.
After a while, Fang Weichun, Sun Yan, and Liu Fengzeng, who were among those admonishing the emperor, also came out to implore the Holy Mercy to give his words.
Sitting on the throne today, I have a headache.
He has always been helpless against Tai Jian. When Empress Dowager Pei was there, Tai Jian was forced to carry a knife, but he still allowed Tai Jian to write a letter. He did not have the courage of Empress Dowager Pei. Under the storm of Tai Jian, he could only cover up.
