It's no wonder that when she first went to court, Wei Zhen was able to do the Slap Roll so skillfully. After many years of practicing this tactic, he has become very skilled in it and can easily pick it up. The key is that every time he uses it, he can get the desired results.
, you can understand it after using it a few times.
However, according to Sheng Shaoqing's conclusion, this was simply a problem he was accustomed to. Both Emperor Jing and the late Emperor were too shameless, and as a result, Wei Zhen's heart grew bigger, leaving such a mess for her to clean up.
After staying up all night, when he went to court the next day, when Sheng Shaoqing saw Wei Zhen, his eyes almost burst out with fire.
If it weren't for him, would she have endured this?!
If it weren't for the beauty and body shaping function, which was of some use, the dark circles under her eyes would probably have fallen to the ground today.
However, it should be said that the effect of this function is really immediate. It is more effective than any black bandage or fairy water. When I get up and put on my makeup, not only are there no traces of staying up late, my face is more rosy, and my skin is even fairer.
Although I don't know if it was a psychological effect, Sheng Shaoqing was very satisfied with the result.
However, Wei Zhen, who was kneeling below, was beating a drum in his heart. The Queen Mother looked at him today as if he was looking very unkindly. He secretly looked up several times and made eye contact with the Queen Mother. The chill in her eyes was as cold as in the main hall.
It’s even colder on the obsidian slab!
Could it be that the Queen Mother is angry about this rumor?
That's not his fault. This is because the Queen Mother herself is not upright. If she hadn't insisted on supporting that so-and-so Yunzhi and looked down upon him, he wouldn't have had the trouble to argue with the Queen Mother!
what is that?
Could it be that the Queen Mother knew that she was the one who instigated the adults who were killed by the Feng family fire to go to the Yushitai to complain?
Although he did this unjustly, the Feng family started the fire first, and he only added fuel to the fire.
After thinking about it, he really couldn't think of anything.
Until he retired from the court, the emperor led Sheng Shaoqing to Wei Zhen and said to Wei Zhen, "I am still a little confused about what your Excellency taught you yesterday. I wonder if Your Excellency Wei can teach you something more today?"
Wei Zhen was just about to agree, but he inadvertently recalled that yesterday, when he was in the middle of the conversation, he talked about all the misfortunes of Lu Buwei and Zhao Ji. When he looked up again and looked at the expression on the Queen Mother's face, drops of cold sweat were already oozing out from Wei Zhen's forehead.
It’s over! Yesterday, I was talking about a word worth a thousand pieces of gold. Looking at the emperor’s cute and studious appearance, I couldn’t help but think of my treacherous son. When I was a child, I also tirelessly questioned him about the truth of the world. In the blink of an eye, more than 20 years have passed, and the filial son has become
The treasonous son, who brought the whole family into chaos because of a woman, and now runs away from home without a trace, is really angry with him.
Then, the situation got out of hand.
What else did he say?
"Succeed with Zhao Ji, and lose with Zhao Ji?"
"The cycle of nature, the destiny of cause and effect?"
Recalling every word made Wei Zhen feel dizzy.
What on earth did he say!!
No wonder the Queen Mother looked at him like this, this, this, this!
Your Majesty is so quick to talk! I’m afraid he has already given everything to the Queen Mother!
"Um, Wei Chen, I still have something to discuss with the Queen Mother. Your Majesty, can you wait for Wei Chen's reply before clearing up the confusion?"
He felt that there was still hope for his rescue!
Yuan Che nodded obediently, let go of Sheng Shaoqing's hand, and went out to find the Taifu first.
However, Sheng Shaoqing called out to Yuan Che and said to Wei Zhen, "Since Yuan Che has a question to ask, how about we clear his mind first and discuss the matter later?"
She couldn't let Wei Zhen and Che'er be alone in the same room anymore. She didn't know what the bad-tempered Wei Zhen would teach her!
The sweat on Wei Zhen's forehead became more and more unstoppable, and the drops flowed down his cheeks and fell to the ground with a "tap, tap, tap" sound.
"Mr. Wei, what's wrong with your body? Otherwise, you can go back and rest first, and come back when you feel better?"
Wei Zhengang shook his head and wanted to nod again, but his head began to swing uncontrollably.
Sheng Shaoqing patted Yuan Che. Yuan Che understood that the queen asked him to ask questions, so he said in a sweet voice, "Master Wei, you talked about the changes in Qinian Palace yesterday. I don't understand a little. Can you please continue to talk, Master Wei?"
"
As soon as Yuan Che finished speaking, Wei Zhen felt dizzy again. How could this kid say the most deadly words with the cutest voice?
"this and that"
"In April of the ninth year of the reign of Emperor Qin, Ying Zheng went to Yongcheng where the Empress Dowager Zhao was. Because his crime was exposed, Lao Ai stole the King's Seal of Qin and the Empress Dowager's Seal and used them to mobilize the garrison and nearby local troops to prepare to attack Qinian Palace. The King of Qin noticed this
As a result, he ordered the Prime Minister Chang Pingjun and Chang Wenjun to launch soldiers to attack Lao'ai. The two armies fought in Xianyang, and Lao'ai fell since then. This is the incident of Qinian Palace."
Sheng Shaoqing finished the whole story in a calm tone, and then asked, "Master Wei, what's so difficult to say?"
Damn it!
Sheng Shaoqing asked the system to make up for this just yesterday, and Wei Zhen bumped into him again today, so she simply said it in plain sight. She wanted to see how Wei Zhen behaved. After she finished speaking, she stared at Wei Zhen closely.
How he reacted.
Only then did Wei Zhen understand what it was like to feel like a lump in the throat and a light on the back. He had shot himself in the foot. It was really painful.
It would be fine if there were no previous events. But that day, the slave slave spent a lot of effort to find out that all the events in his family were revealed by the palace. He knew that the Queen Mother knew that the rumors in the past few days were her own.
.
The Queen Mother was just treating him in his own way and giving him a warning.
At that time, he was not afraid that the Queen Mother would mobilize troops to accuse her. After all, it would not look good if it was brought to light. He was sure of this at the beginning. The Queen Mother would definitely accept this dumb loss, so he dared to go ahead and do it.
But after this incident, if these words came out of his mouth again, even if he said it was unintentional, no one would believe him.
In the past, those were just small fights, but if the matter involves the emperor, and the most important thing is to instigate the relationship between mother and son, judging from the Queen Mother's usual behavior, I am afraid she will not let him go.
"Yes...it's not difficult to say...it's just that Wei Chen didn't think of it for a moment."
Sheng Shaoqing said coldly and sarcastically, "Master Wei has always been knowledgeable and knowledgeable, but there are times when he is so speechless?"
Wei Zhen's touted excerpt was written with citations from classics and classics, and the words were gorgeous. Why can't he remember the incident in Qinian Palace that he spoke so generously about yesterday?
I'm afraid it's not because of a guilty conscience.
Wei Zhenzheng, who felt guilty, was extremely confused. The Queen Mother must have thought that he had deliberately told Her Majesty these things to sow discord. However, he knew clearly that the Queen Mother had misunderstood, but he could not take the initiative to say it. He could not say it. He was really unintentional.
When he told His Majesty the idioms, did he mention Lu Buwei's story?
Isn't this just going to the grave and burning hay to fool the devil?
Yuan Che said in surprise at the side, "So my mother knew! If I had known earlier, I would have..."
"No more questions." Before he could say the three words, Yuan Che realized something and swallowed it back. He awkwardly tugged on Sheng Shaoqing's sleeves. Sheng Shaoqing understood and helped him out, "Since His Majesty's doubts have been resolved,
It’s solved, then Mr. Wei, what do you have to report?”
Wei Zhen hurriedly said nothing, and Sheng Shaoqing took Yuan Che out of the Qinzheng Hall without looking back.
When the footsteps of the two people, one large and one small, gradually faded away, Wei Zhen in the main hall breathed a sigh of relief and slumped on the ground.
After taking a deep breath, Wei Zhen stood up shakily on the floor, rubbed his sore calves, patted the dust on his knees, straightened his sleeves and robe, and walked out slowly.
When he walked to the door, Wei Zhen held the palace door and looked at the rising sun in the distance. Feeling depressed, he used his sleeves to cover the slightly dazzling sunlight and slowly walked out of the palace door.
Until he got on the carriage back home, Wei Zhen could not recover from his low mood.
The slave who came to greet him saw that the master's face was not so good, so he did not dare to speak and silently helped Wei Zhen through the door.
"Have you found the eldest son?"
When Wei Zhen saw Ji Nu, he seemed to have thought of something and asked weakly.
Jinu shook his head, "Not yet."
"This bastard...oh, where has he gone?"
Ji Nu carefully watched Wei Zhen's expression and said, "I have searched all the places where the young master often goes, but there is no trace of the young master. I wonder if the young master has left the capital?"
Wei Zhen lowered his head and thought for a while and said, "Probably not."
The slave helped Wei Zhen into the study, and was about to pour tea for Wei Zhen, but Wei Zhen waved his hand and asked him to go out, "You go look for it again. Even if the capital is turned upside down, give me Wei Rong."
Find this traitor!"
The slave said "Hey" and retreated, leaving Wei Zhen alone in the study, thinking silently.
The day after tomorrow is New Year's Eve, where can this traitor go?
Sheng Shaoqing had not rested long after he returned to Yongguang Hall when Director Chang came to the door with papers.
"The Queen Mother, after yesterday's test, are you going to let these candidates go home?"
While flipping through the test papers, Sheng Shaoqing replied to Supervisor Chang, "No, the day after tomorrow is New Year's Eve, let them attend the banquet together."
Supervisor Chang nodded to express his understanding and then asked, "The Queen Mother, speaking of the New Year's Eve banquet, I have one more matter that I would like to ask the Queen Mother to decide."
Sheng Shaoqing nodded, and Supervisor Chang continued, "In previous years, the New Year's Eve banquet was held at Fengying Hall, but this year the Nanjing envoy came to visit. In order to demonstrate the national strength of our country, should it be held at Hanzhangtai instead?"
"Nanjing Mission?"
Director Chang rubbed his hands nervously and said, "Don't the Queen Mother know?"
"The Ai family knows this, but is this their first time here this year?"
Chang Dajian thought it was the negligence of the Honglu Temple officials, and he was sweating. Hearing what the Queen Mother said, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's not true. In the third year of Emperor Jing's Taihe period, the Nanjing delegation also came.
Yes, but at that time the owner of Nanjing was still the Xiao family, and a few years later, the world of Nanjing has been replaced by the Liu family."
"Then let's change it to Hanzhangtai."
It's great to have friends from far away. It's Chinese New Year, so don't wrong your guests.
Sheng Shaoqing turned his eyebrows back more and more tightly, until finally, his eyebrows were twisted into a rope. What are these children doing?
The answers to the regular questions on the Four Books and Five Classics were pretty much the same, but when it came to the questions about chickens and rabbits in the same cage, drainage and water storage, she was almost completely defeated.
She clearly remembers that the problem of chickens and rabbits living in the same cage existed in ancient times. How come no one knows about it?!
"Aren't arithmetic taught in schools outside the palace now?" Sheng Shaoqing raised his head and asked.
Cui Yun and Director Chang looked at each other in front of them, and they didn't know who the Queen Mother was asking.
After an awkward silence, Cui Yun took the lead in answering, "Weichen's home school has an arithmetic department, but the brothers at home still study more scriptures."
Director Chang also smiled awkwardly and said, "There is no book school in Weichen's family, but among the people, sutra calculation is mostly regarded as a minor skill. After all... after all..."
Seeing Supervisor Chang's hesitation, Sheng Shaoqing could only relax his brows and said gently, "Just tell me, the Ai family will not punish you."
"After all, which of the children of the aristocratic family needs to do the calculation personally?"
From buying a house and land to buying groceries at the market, these people don't need to do anything themselves.
Sheng Shaoqing was once again moved by Chang Da Jian's sincerity. Although Chang Da Jian was a little stunned, he was also a rare person who dared to tell the truth.
Sheng Shaoqing calmed down and said, "You can't even count clearly, so what do you do if you learn so much?!"
Now I can only choose generals from among the dwarfs, and pick them slowly and carefully.
After reading all morning, Sheng Shaoqing reluctantly picked out seven papers that he had not seen before.
"Director Chang, please go back first. When the New Year's Eve banquet is held, you can arrange the seats of these seven people closer together. The Ai family will observe it personally, but they must keep it secret. If the news leaks out, the Ai family will only ask you!"
Supervisor Chang knelt down with a plop, "Wei Chen doesn't dare! Wei Chen doesn't dare!"
Seeing that the Queen Mother had no other instructions, Superintendent Chang withdrew. When Forsythia came in around the corner and came to salute, he didn't bother to answer and just wiped his sweat and walked out.
"Why do I feel like I've lost my soul every time I leave Yongguang Hall?" Forsythia muttered and walked into the back hall, facing the Queen Mother and Cui Yun and said, "The list of the night banquet has been sent from the imperial kitchen. Would the Queen Mother want to take a look at it?"
menu?
Sheng Shaoqing immediately became excited and waited for Forsythia to bring over a thick stack of booklets. Even though the paintings were abstract, she could still see the delicious dishes. She sighed, this menu is indeed much prettier than the paper.
.
"Isn't it a little bit rare to have one crystal elbow per person?"
Forsythia and Cui Yun looked at each other, "Empress Dowager, this case is so big!" Forsythia made a shape with her hands that was larger than her two faces, and said, "It's quite a lot!"
"And there were probably five to six hundred people at the banquet. This dish really cost a lot of money!"
"Five to six hundred people?! There are not so many people attending court every day!" Sheng Shaoqing was so shocked that a fist could fit into his mouth.
Cui Yun said helplessly, "Empress Dowager, the only officials you can see in court every day are officials of the fifth rank and above. There are many officials in the capital who are not lucky enough to see Tianyan. The night banquet is still limited to officials of the seventh rank and above.
Only officials can attend the banquet, otherwise, the entire palace may not be able to sit down!"
Sure enough, at the foot of the imperial city, a brick fell from the sky and all the officials were killed.
