From the colorful golden autumn to the late autumn when the fallen leaves are falling, Ning Sheng has not gone to court in the morning for a week, and he is rarely seen in the front palace. Hyun asked Eunuch Hao, but he always hesitated, which made Hyun very upset. Worry.
I went home the next morning, changed into women's clothes, sent a message to the palace, and then went to the harem. I went to see Ru Luo Si first, but Ru Luo Si seemed to have something on her mind and was always absent-minded. Hyun didn't stay long and gave no more courtesy greetings. After getting off, he came out and went straight to Lin Hua's palace.
We are already very familiar with Lin Hua, so there is no need to come up with those empty words. Ask straight to the point:
"Sister-in-law, is my brother sick?"
Lin Hua was stunned, looked at her, and sighed:
"You may say you are not sick, but you are indeed sick."
Monk Zhanger couldn't make up his mind as he listened. Lin Hua took a sip of tea, her tone was calm but her eyes were full of worry.
It turns out that Ning Sheng has lived a very absurd life in the past few months. He does not approve memorials, ignores government affairs, and indulges in singing and dancing all day long. Although he has not reached the level of entering the harem, even if he is an ordinary person, he will be wasted like this. , not to mention that he is still an emperor. However, just because he is an emperor, many things are difficult to say. For example, Luo Shu and Lin Hua have spoken several times, and Ning Sheng only agreed verbally, so it is difficult for them to say anything more. , but the worry in her heart has not diminished at all, so when Hyun went to see Ru Luo Ji, Ru Luo Ji was absent-minded.
After hearing what Lin Hua said about Ning Sheng's current situation, Xun's blood boiled. Kun Yu Kingdom was temporarily stable. However, Kun Yu Kingdom was still a small country compared with the four surrounding countries. What confidence did Ning Sheng have to live like this?
In Chinese history, there are many emperors who worked hard in the first half of their lives and managed the country well, but were extravagant in the second half of their lives. For example, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty and Li Longji created the prosperous Kaiyuan era. However, they fainted in their later years, leading to the eight-year Anshi Rebellion and laying the foundation for the Anshi Rebellion. Foreshadowing of the decline of the Tang Dynasty.
Li Longji fainted in his later years. He had the ability to faint. In the Tang Dynasty at that time, which neighboring country dared to provoke him? Kun Yuguo is still walking on the edge of the knife, let alone a complete Anshi Rebellion, which is only one tenth During the An-Shi Rebellion, the Kunyu Kingdom was destroyed. How could Ning Sheng dare to indulge?!
Before Lin Hua finished speaking, Xun stood up and went to where Ning Sheng was.
Before I even reached the ground, I heard the sound of music coming from the room, the laughter of a woman, and the laughter of Ning Sheng. When I went to the door, I saw that there were dancers sent from Liangzhou. Some were dancing, and some were dancing. They gathered around Ning Sheng, pouring him wine and feeding him fruits. Hyun was shaking with anger at the door, wishing he could beat everyone with a stick.
However, Ning Sheng was the emperor after all, and even his children would not end well if they overdid it, so Hyun left the door, leaned against the wall, took a deep breath to calm down, and then walked in.
When the dancers saw a woman coming in, they all looked bad. Hyun ignored them and looked bad? She also looked bad! She walked straight to Ning Sheng and did not perform the concubine ceremony, but the courtier ceremony. Intended to remind Ning Sheng of his identity:
"Hyun, please see your brother. We have something to discuss."
Hearing Hyun speak, Ning Sheng noticed Hyun in front of him, smiled and waved:
"Hyun, come and sit here. These dancers are really rare. Let's take a look with my brother."
Hyun did not move and said loudly:
"Hyun, please see your brother. We have something to discuss."
Ning Sheng was a little unhappy, leaned back on the chair, hugged a beautiful woman and said:
"If you have anything to do, please tell me tomorrow morning."
Originally, Hyun was suppressing his anger, but when he heard what he said, it was like an erupting volcano, rising up with a roar. He stood up with a bad look on his face, turned around and said to the dancers:
"My brother and I have something to discuss, please step back."
Ning Sheng didn't say anything. Of course, these women didn't want to listen to Xun's words. Moreover, seeing that Xun was a woman, they were bold enough to speak Chinese that wasn't very fluent and kept mumbling. When Liangzhou sent these women, Hyun and the others felt uncomfortable, and Ning Sheng even laughed and said that he would not fall into the trap, but what about now?
Hyun suddenly became furious and shouted loudly:
"Anyone who doesn't want to die, get out of here!"
After saying that, they turned around, picked up the tea bowl on the table, and smashed it into the carpet at their feet. Now they stopped shaking, but they still didn't leave. Although they wanted to leave, they didn't dare to leave without Ning Sheng speaking. Everyone hunched their shoulders and peeked at Ning Sheng.
Ning Sheng was also frightened by Hyun's actions, and waved his hand for them all to retreat. Eunuch Hao, who was beside Ning Sheng, was anxious and worried about Hyun.
Ning Sheng dusted off his clothes and said casually:
"What's the matter? Tell me."
Hyun's eyes were like swords and he turned around to look at Ning Sheng. Both Ning Sheng and Eunuch Hao couldn't help but tremble.
Although Hyun works seriously at ordinary times, he always treats people with a smile. Except for a few people who can be counted on one hand and four children, he does not get close to anyone and does not stay away from anyone. He deals with interpersonal relationships with a smile. How do you interact with others? She has no relationship at all. It can be said that she does not take pleasure in things or feel sorrow in herself. Therefore, I have never seen her get angry, and everyone thinks she has a good temper.
Today was like this, and Ning Sheng felt guilty for a moment, but it was only for a moment. After all, he was the emperor, and after feeling guilty, he became angry.
Hyun spoke first without waiting for Ning Sheng to speak. However, in her anger, she also forgot Ning Sheng's identity. Her words were very sharp and she didn't show mercy to Ning Sheng at all:
"Even the ancients knew that beautiful women can confuse the king, and actors can confuse the old ministers. Don't you know what Liangzhou's purpose is in sending these beauties? I think that now the neighboring countries are relieved because they don't dare to act rashly against the Kun Yu Kingdom? Now the Kun Yu Kingdom is still Walking on the edge of the knife, although the territory has been expanded to Qinzhou, from the overall perspective, the Kunyu Kingdom is still small and only the borders of the four surrounding countries! Where did my brother get the confidence to indulge in ignoring the government here? "
Now both Hyun and Ning Sheng are angry, Hyun has a bad tone, and Ning Sheng is also full of resistance:
"I just listened to the music and watched the dance. How come it turned into indulgence in your mouth?!"
"That's it? It's been so long since I've dealt with government affairs. Don't you have any idea, brother?!"
Ning Sheng flipped the table and shouted angrily:
"Bold! When will it be your turn to scold me?! Don't forget your identity!"
Not to be outdone, Hyun boldly took a step toward Ning Sheng:
"Then I also want to remind the emperor of his identity. The emperor is responsible for the livelihood of the people of Kunyu country! He is responsible for the future of Kunyu country! As the king of a country, I think no one understands the emperor's responsibilities better than the emperor!"
Ning Sheng was so angry that no one dared to speak to him like this, not even the remonstrators dared to use such a tone. He wanted to kill Xun, but on one side were Ning Fang, Ning Min, Ning Yan, Le Zhengkang and others. If you kill Hyun for this matter, it will definitely affect the relationship with them; the other side is the people. Master Zhuo has some prestige among the people. Even if they don't know that Master Zhuo is Hyun, Huami and others around Hyun will not just give in. Xuan died; and Daiguo. The reason why Daiguo has always maintained friendly relations with Kunyuguo and served as Kunyuguo's backer at no cost is mainly because Xun and Jiang Wu saved Tuoba Shiyijian.
Suddenly, he discovered that Hyun, who once had to rely on him for support and dared to do whatever he wanted, had grown into a role that he could not act rashly without realizing it. This discovery made Ning Sheng even more uncomfortable. He grabbed an apple and threw it at Hyun. :
"Get out! Get out of here!"
Hyun turned around angrily and left without even saluting. Ning Sheng was so angry that he sat in his chair and breathed heavily.
Eunuch Hao stood aside and did not dare to say anything. He could only advise Ning Sheng not to be angry and to take care of his dragon body.
On the other side, after returning to the Black Face Mansion, Hyun stayed in the house for a long time to calm down. After calming down, his rationality returned, and he suddenly broke into a cold sweat. He regretted his radical words just now and began to worry again. After all, Ning Sheng was the emperor. , I actually spoke with such a tone and attitude, will I say goodbye to my head forever?
When I mentioned this matter to Huami during the meal, Huami said indifferently:
"Master Zhuo is no longer someone the emperor can kill if he wants. Master Zhuo doesn't need to worry, but I'm afraid the relationship with the emperor will get worse."
Hyun is puzzled:
"Why do you want to kill me but you can't? Your Majesty can't kill a little person like me just in the blink of an eye."
Huami swallowed the food in his mouth and analyzed it for her:
"Master Zhuo now has some prestige among the people and among the soldiers. He has good relations with King Yi, King Yun, King Ji, Master Yue Zheng, Master Jiang, Master Ru and others. The emperor has to consider killing you. How to deal with these relationships, and you were not killed for making mistakes, but for admonishing, which is even more difficult to deal with. Furthermore, Mr. Zhuo saved Tuoba Shiyijian's life in Daiguo, even if it was nothing else Even if the emperor doesn't consider it, he has to worry about it."
Hyun thought for a while, nodded, and sighed:
"I didn't expect that one day I would become someone that the emperor would be wary of," he snorted helplessly, "I'm afraid this is not a good thing."
As Huami said, the relationship between Ning Sheng and Hyun has been very bad since that day, and because Ning Sheng has some scruples about Hyun, although it has not developed into a thorn in the side, it has already made Ning Sheng a little uncomfortable. .
Hyun is deeply troubled by this. She really doesn't care about interpersonal relationships. She feels that this is the most troublesome thing in the world. She just wants to simply take care of her own one-third of an acre of land. But let her bow her head. One is She didn't want to, and there was no need for anything else, because now Hyun had already made Ning Sheng uncomfortable. No matter what kind of low posture she adopted, it would not win Ning Sheng's favor, but would make him even more bored, but she couldn't do this blindly. He's so tough, he can't twist his arms past his thighs.
After much thought, I decided to avoid it - I went to Liangzhou as an envoy. During the previous dispute between the royal family and the nobles of the Kunyu Kingdom, Liangzhou was also ready to take action. However, when I saw that the Zhao Kingdom was defeated, I basically just waited and watched, and then sent a bunch of gifts. The motive of the beautiful woman coming here is really worrying. Is it just to show her good will, or does she have the same idea as the Zhao State, or is she simply joining forces with the Zhao State to attack the Kun Yu State? You have to understand these in person.
So he prepared to submit the plan to Ning Sheng to send an envoy. However, he stepped on the carriage, and after being stunned for a moment, he changed his mind and rushed back to the house to rewrite the plan. This left Ding Wangcai and the two monks Zhang Er scratching their heads and came out again. Afterwards, they said they were going to Prince Yun's Mansion. The four of them looked at each other and drove to Prince Yun's Mansion. (To be continued)
