"The snow in the city has just disappeared and mustard greens are growing, and there are few people walking in the deep alleys of Jiaomen. The oriole language can be heard in the willows, and this is the first sound of spring." Princess Xinping immediately read out the snow appreciation poem written by Su Ziji to herself. "It's a little out of place, but it's a good poem." The emperor listened and nodded. What kind of talent has he not seen in the emperor's position?
Such a poem is not enough to impress the emperor, but it must be said that the person who wrote the poem is still talented. Could it be that this daughter wrote it and came to show off to herself?
The emperor immediately rejected this speculation. Didn't he know that his daughter had ink in her belly? This poem could never have been written by Xinping.
Does that mean you have to speak for someone else?
It can be said that in the emperor's career, he may encounter this kind of thing every day. The emperor was not upset at all. He slowly enjoyed his daughter's service and saw Princess Xinping climbing along the pole: "Yes, this person who writes poetry is very talented.
Especially the poetry is amazing."
She begged: "Father, my daughter planned to hold a snow-appreciation poetry party before the Chinese New Year, and she wanted this person to come over and compose poems. But now he has been sent on an errand and will leave Beijing immediately...Father...you
Just help my daughter!"
The emperor was gently shaken by Princess Xinping's shoulders. He reluctantly opened his eyes and asked: "Which yamen is he? If you are a minister doing business, you must not be so rude!"
"No! He is still a Imperial College student, temporarily interning at the Ministry of War." Princess Xinping said.
The emperor's expression paused and hesitated: "A student intern at the Ministry of War?"
"Yes, Su Ziji will have the exam next spring. If he goes to the Southwest, he will miss the time - which minister would make things so difficult for him to send an intern Taipei student to the Southwest and miss the exam?"
The princess was indignant: "Father, just promise me to let him stay!"
Su, Zi, Ji!
As if a bolt of lightning struck the emperor's head, the emperor was stunned for an instant. He slowly came back to his senses with a dull face. Seeing Xinping still worrying about this matter, he felt an indescribable annoyance in his heart.
"Nonsense!" The emperor suddenly stood up and shook his body. Fortunately, Eunuch Zhao immediately stepped forward and supported the emperor.
The emperor calmed down and then said: "Looking at your temperament, how do you look like a princess?"
"Some Confucian scholars talked about the three obediences and the four virtues. The former Wei Dynasty did not adopt it, nor did this dynasty adopt it, but after all, there is still merit in it."
"Calming down the chaos in the southwest is a big deal. You are usually careless and cause trouble, but you have to intervene in national affairs. Don't think that just because you are a princess, you can interfere in politics!"
Suddenly, the emperor's face darkened and he pointed at the door: "Get out of here. Your words and deeds are inappropriate. From today on, you will be grounded for three months. You are not allowed to go anywhere except the princess's palace!"
Princess Xinping was originally thinking about asking Su Ziji to write poems again, but the emperor suddenly changed his attitude and refused to give her any face. She had been favored by the emperor since she was a child, and had her mother and concubine to take care of her. How could she have ever suffered such grievances?
Before she finished speaking, Princess Xinping burst into tears and rushed out of the door. From a distance, she could be heard crying: "If you're banned, I'm banned. I don't want to see anyone anymore..."
After angrily scolding Princess Xinping, the emperor's whole body was drained. He couldn't express what he felt in his heart. His face was gloomy, he sat softly on the dragon chair and sighed for a long time: "Tell me, am I really not a good father?
”
Eunuch Zhao replied with a low eyebrow: "Your Majesty, all the people in the world are your children. You work hard for the country and the people, and the people love you very much..."
When it comes to matters within the royal family, even Eunuch Zhao would not dare to say who is good or bad at this time.
In the past, there were eunuchs with a similar background to him. When the emperor asked this question, he echoed a few words, turned around, and was dismissed for some reason.
This is just the emperor's own sentiments. A slave like himself only needs to listen with his ears and answer some words of comfort.
Sure enough, after listening to Eunuch Zhao's words, the emperor didn't say anything anymore. He just sat there with his eyes slightly closed, looking tired.
"Su Ziji..." The emperor read the name and was in a daze. In front of him was a young man with admiration in his eyes: "Fu'er..."
The standing Eunuch Zhao couldn't help but raise his head slightly. With his strong ears, he naturally heard the emperor pronounce the former prince's nickname. Thinking of the former prince, Eunuch Zhao also felt complicated and hurriedly lowered his eyes to cover up the emotions in his eyes.<
/p>
After a while of silence, the emperor heard the emperor ask again: "Didn't Su Ziji enter the Imperial Academy? Why are you going to the southwest again now?"
"Your Majesty, I have records here, do you want to take a look at them?" Eunuch Zhao said hurriedly.
"Send it up." The emperor said calmly.
Unexpectedly, Eunuch Zhao actually took out a thin volume from his arms, bent down, walked respectfully to the emperor, and handed it over with both hands.
Such preparation and safety made the emperor feel depressed, but he didn't let it out.
The emperor opened the book and looked through it. He could not tell whether he was happy or angry. He only said: "Troublesome!"
He casually threw the book back to Eunuch Zhao, but did not say this scolding. Eunuch Zhao had a vague idea of who he was targeting. He lowered his eyes and took a few steps back to stand.
"Well, this time we go to the southwest, you can go with us." After pondering for a moment, the emperor finally made a decision after writing.
Eunuch Zhao had no objection to this decision and immediately responded respectfully: "Yes, I will prepare now."
"Okay, you can just step back. There is no need to come here to serve me before leaving. Make more preparations and don't capsize the boat in the ditch." The emperor waved his hand, and Eunuch Zhao responded again, bending down and leaving.
To exit.
"Wait a minute." The emperor suddenly shouted again.
Eunuch Zhao raised his head slightly and looked at his master in confusion.
The emperor locked his eyes tightly and warned seriously: "If you can come back in time and pass the test, you can check your bloodline again and let me know. Do you understand?"
"Old slave, I understand." Eunuch Zhao suddenly felt something in his heart and responded immediately.
The emperor waved again.
This time, Eunuch Zhao successfully retreated.
Several eunuchs standing at the door saw him coming out and came over to please him.
"I won't be in front of the emperor during this period, so you guys should do your best." Eunuch Zhao's steps were as heavy as lead, and he was thinking about the errands. At this time, he could only show a smile and give instructions.
These eunuchs are all of high rank. Although they all have a respectful attitude in front of the top eunuchs such as Eunuch Zhao, they also command a group of eunuchs, big and small.
Eunuch Zhao still has to say a few words of comfort.
"Don't worry, the children will work hard to please you." Even the children said it shamelessly.
The positions around the emperor were particularly important, and this one was about to leave again. Thinking that the top eunuchs also had important errands to do, these eunuchs were secretly happy. Knowing that this was an opportunity, they all hurriedly agreed.
Except for the chief eunuch, everyone who serves the emperor has a shift. The eunuch on duty today immediately entered carefully and took the place where Eunuch Zhao was standing.
