Xi Cheying said: "Zhang Kun and Zhang Ye are your majesty's servants, and they are also people who can speak to your majesty. However, Zhang Ye has always been greedy for money and wants Zhang Ye to help. The unjust prince...zi
Mr. Mi will inevitably lose some money!"
When Zimi heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief. He thought he would give up the title of Marquis, but that was absolutely impossible. He would rather bear the name of injustice all his life to get this position. Zimi smiled happily.
He said: "What else do I care about? Isn't it just a waste of money? Small things, small things!" As he spoke, he said mysteriously: "Girl, wait here for a moment, I'll be back soon!"
As he spoke, he walked out quickly. Xi Cheying turned her head and glanced at him, then stood up, paced back and forth in the room with her hands behind her back, looking at the furnishings in the room as she walked. She looked around.
, looked west, and wandered to Zi Mi’s desk.
As if attracted by an inkstone on the table, Xi Cheying picked up the inkstone and played with it repeatedly. The servants present only glanced at it, then lowered their heads and did not look at it again.
What they didn't notice was that when Xi Cheying put down the inkstone, her little finger flicked outward slightly, and a bit of white powder that was originally held in the nail of her little finger fell into Zi Mi's tea cup. In just a moment, the white powder fell into the cup.
It blends into the tea and disappears without a trace.
Xi Cheying smiled slightly and walked back to his seat, as if nothing was wrong, and continued to wait for Zimi to come back.
After half a stick of incense had been filled, Zimi returned quickly, holding a wooden box in his hand. He returned to his seat and placed the wooden box on the ground, making a muffled sound.
Xi Cheying looked at him pretending to be puzzled. Zimi smiled slightly and opened the wooden box, revealing a piece of gold inside. Xi Cheying took a closer look and saw that it turned out to be a box of gold. Some gold bracelets, gold hairpins, and all kinds of things.
Gold jewelry is available.
Zimi happily patted the wooden box and asked with a smile: "Girl, these should be enough! If not, I can give you another one!"
Xi Cheying showed a look of surprise and said, "Cheying really didn't expect that Mr. Zimi would bring out so much."
Zimi didn't feel ashamed at all, but said as if offering a treasure: "To be honest, girl, what I brought out is just a drop in the bucket!"
Xi Cheying frowned. Zimi explained in detail: "There is a secret room in Prince Yan's palace. In addition to gold, there are also various rare and rare treasures..."
Before Zimi could finish his words, Xi Cheying waved his hand and said, "Peng Wu has been executed, and Han Liye has led his remaining troops to surrender. However, I didn't hear that any rare treasures were found in Peng Chong's mansion!"
Zi Mi blinked his eyes, showing a look of sudden realization, and said: "Young lady, you don't know something. That secret room is very hidden. Even I, who have worked for Peng Chong for more than ten years, never knew that there is such a secret room."
exist."
Xi Cheying nodded thoughtfully, and then, with an expression of interest, she asked: "Mr. Zimi said there are many treasures inside?"
"Exactly!" Zimi realized that he had an opportunity to make meritorious deeds again, and he nodded repeatedly.
"Mr. Zimi, tell me, what treasures are there in the secret room?"
Zi Mi then beamed with joy and began to talk eloquently. He told Xi Cheying with added details about what he had seen and what he had not seen in the secret room.
Xi Cheying also interrupted him from time to time and asked one or two questions, which made Zimi speak even harder, fearing that he would miss some details, foaming at the mouth and talking endlessly.
At the end, he couldn't help sighing and said: "If the four big bags of gold weren't too heavy, I would have brought out a few more treasures at all costs!"
As he spoke, he slapped his palms with the back of his hands and looked like he was sighing.
Xi Cheying clicked his tongue and said: "If what Mr. Zimi said is true, then the value of only one or two treasures brought out by Mr. Zimi is enough to be worth the four bags of gold that Mr. Zimi took out!"
Zimi stared at Xi Cheying in stunned silence and murmured: "I...I didn't know these treasures were so valuable..."
Xi Cheying smiled slightly and said: "Mr. Zimi, don't be disappointed. I will naturally report this matter to Your Majesty. If we can really find the secret room that Mr. Zimi mentioned and those treasures, Mr. Zimi
Undoubtedly, he has made great achievements, and changing the title of the marquis will become much easier."
After hearing this, Zimi was overjoyed. He bowed to Xi Cheying repeatedly and said, "Thank you, girl! Thank you, girl!"
Xi Cheying waved her hand to indicate to Zi Mi that there was no need to be polite. Then, she changed the topic and talked to Zi Mi about Xiangyu and Ling'er.
Perhaps he had said too much just now, and Zimi felt his mouth was dry. He picked up the tea cup on the table and drank it in one gulp without even looking at the tea inside. Then he began to talk endlessly about his future plans.
.
Xi Cheying sat for a while and then said goodbye to Zimi. Before leaving, Xi Cheying asked his servant to take away the box of gold.
Zimi sent Xi Cheying out of the gate and watched the carriage that Xi Cheying was riding disappearing at the end of the street. Only then did he happily return to his mansion and continue to dream of his sweet dream.
That night, Zimi died suddenly in his sleep. The next morning, the servants of the Hou Mansion found his body. There was no sign of poisoning on the body, at least it was not visible at all on the surface. He was lying on the bed as if he had fallen asleep.
Similar.
Regarding the sudden death of Zi Mi, there was a lot of discussion in Luoyang City. Most people thought that Zi Mi had been punished by God. People were very disdainful of Zi Mi's seller seeking glory and had nothing good to say about him.
With Zi Mi's death, the matter came to an end. In Chinese history, there were only a handful of people who were given evil names during their lifetimes. Zi Mi, a slave from a humble background, was fortunate enough to occupy a place.
Zi Mi is vicious and vicious, but in the whirlpool of political power struggle, he is just a small figure, not worth mentioning. He can be used when he is needed, and discarded when he is not needed.
Little people.
Although he is shameless and despised by others, his fate is also quite sad.
Compared with the three fronts of the Western Expedition, the Southern Expedition, and the Eastern Expedition, the war on the Northern Expedition was very smooth. The Han army led by Geng Yan basically did not experience large-scale battles after entering Youzhou.
As soon as they entered Youzhou, Geng Shu led Youzhou's sudden cavalry to defeat the Huns and killed two Xiongnu kings. This greatly frightened the Xiongnu who were about to move in the north and did not dare to invade the Han territory again.
It can be said that Geng Yan did not use a sword or a shot, but Geng Shu helped them cut off Peng Chong's left and right arms.
Later, before the Han army had time to launch a large-scale attack on Peng Chong's home base of Yuyang, Xi Cheying successfully instigated Zimi's rebellion, causing Zimi to secretly murder Peng Chong, which dealt the most fatal blow to Peng Chong's regime.
Later, Han Li rebelled and killed the Peng family, which dealt the final blow to Peng Chong's regime and completely disintegrated it into ashes.
This is the entire battle on the northern front. Speaking of which, the Han army led by Geng Yan only put down two rebel armies that had defected to Peng Chong.
The war in the north has ended here, and the southern and eastern fronts are still fighting.
On the southern battlefield, the Han army led by Cen Peng tightly besieged Qin Feng in Liqiu City. Tian Rong led his army to come to the rescue, but he also suffered a defeat at the hands of Cen Peng. He hid in the camp and did not dare to challenge the war easily.
On the eastern battlefield, the Han army, led by Wu Han and Gai Yan, besieged Liu Yong in Suiyang City for several months. The food and grass in the city had been exhausted, and there were no external reinforcements to rescue Liu Yong. Liu Yong seemed to be a turtle in the urn.
The war on the southern and eastern fronts went smoothly, which made Liu Xiu feel a lot more relaxed. Another thing that made him happy was that Guo Shengtong successfully gave birth to his second prince.
Liu Xiu named his second son Liu Fu. Obviously, Liu Xiu hoped that his second son could do his best to assist his eldest brother Liu Qiang in the future.
I have to say that Guo Shengtong's physique is really good. She has given birth to two sons for Liu Xiu, but Yin Lihua, Liu Xiu's favorite, still has no movement in her belly.
In this regard, even Liu Xiu realized that something was fishy. Could it be that Lihua's constitution was not suitable for pregnancy? On this day, he specially invited Pi Tong into the palace.
In the Qingliang Hall, Liu Xiu met with Pi Tong. After the meeting, Liu Xiu said cheerfully: "The great king deserves to be known as the king of medicine. With just a few doses of medicine, Xi Ling successfully gave birth to the righteous king."
Pi Tong bowed and said: "Your Majesty, you have given me the reward. I am ashamed to be called the King of Medicine."
Liu Xiu smiled, changed the subject, and said, "In the past, I remember Weijun helped Lihua diagnose her pulse."
Pi Tong was startled, nodded, and said: "Yes, Your Majesty! Weichen helped Yin Guiren diagnose his pulse."
Liu Xiu said: "At that time, Weijun said that Lihua was in good health."
Pi Tong looked at Liu Xiu inexplicably and said, "At that time, Yin Guiren was indeed in good health."
Liu Xiu spread her hands and said, "Lihua has been in Luoyang for several years, but she has never been able to get pregnant. Why is this?"
On weekdays, Liu Xiu dotes on Yin Lihua the most, and he lives in the West Palace most often. But now, even Xu Xiling has given birth to a daughter, and Guo Shengtong has given birth to two sons, but there is no movement from Yin Lihua, which makes Liu Xiu feel incredible.
Pi Tong was stunned for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, when Wei Chen diagnosed Yin Guiren's pulse, Yin Guiren's health was indeed very good. As for whether Yin Guiren's body is still the same as before, Wei Chen doesn't know."
Liu Xiu raised his head and called out: "Zhang Kun!"
"The servant is here!" Zhang Kun walked quickly into the hall with small steps and a bowed body.
"Go and invite Lord Yin to Qingliang Hall!"
"My servant obeys the order!" Zhang Kun agreed, bowed again, and exited the hall.
Pi Tong smiled leisurely at Liu Xiu and reminded him softly: "Your Majesty, a woman's conception only needs to be done in a timely manner. You must not rush it."
Liu Xiu smiled bitterly and said: "In these years, Lihua has not been able to give birth to an heir for me. I regret this. Although Lihua has never mentioned it, I think it makes her feel uncomfortable."
A woman in the palace would have no foundation if she had no heirs. Liu Xiu didn't really care whether Yin Lihua could give birth to a child, but he didn't want Yin Lihua to worry about it.
Looking at the frowning Liu Xiu, Pi Tong smiled and said, "Your Majesty is very affectionate towards noble Yin!"
Liu Xiu sighed, he indeed loved Yin Lihua the most, and at the same time, he always felt guilty for Yin Lihua regarding the matter of becoming a queen. The two of them were talking in the palace, and Zhang Kun sang outside: "The noble Yin has arrived.
——”
Hearing this, Liu Xiu stood up and walked over quickly. Pi Tong also stood up and bowed to Yin Lihua who came in from outside.
"Your Majesty! Pi Taichang!" After Yin Lihua came in, she saluted Liu Xiufu and nodded to Pi Tong.
Liu Xiu took Yin Lihua's hand and asked him to sit next to her.
Pi Tong is Taichang, and one of Taichang's supervisors has good etiquette. Liu Xiu's current behavior is not etiquette, and he is not surprised. Liu Xiu cleared his throat and said: "Weijun, Lihua is ill today. You are here for Lihua."
Check your pulse."
Yin Lihua was startled at first. She was fine today. When did she become ill?
After thinking about it, she suddenly understood what Liu Xiu meant. She blushed and glanced at Liu Xiu secretly. Liu Xiu held her catkins in his hands and grinned, revealing two rows of white teeth.
Pi Tong stepped forward, waved to Yin Lihua and said, "My lord, please!"
Yin Lihua had no choice but to raise her arms, pull the cuffs, and put them on the table.
"Please forgive me for being rude." Pitong stretched out his hand and gently placed it on Yin Lihua's wrist.
