Yanle immediately forgot about the conversation with the emperor and said excitedly: "I like it, I like it. Daddy said whoosh and ran away——"
"That's a car." Yan Ling explained to Yan Le with a smile: "We can't drive it until we are older."
Yanle pouted in disappointment when he heard this, his handsome little face as aggrieved as frost and snow: "It can't be opened, then I won't go -"
Yan Ling hurriedly comforted: "But we can sit -"
Yanle immediately smiled after hearing this, his smile was as radiant as the scorching sun in early spring, and he happily discussed with his brother how great the Yan Kingdom's number one artifact sold to other countries was.
Zhou Tian looked at them, watching in a daze as Yan Ling tried to make Lele happy and catered to Lele's tone. When Lele smiled, he also smiled lightly to break the ice. He couldn't help but think that Xiao Ling had seen too much of Lele. With that face, it will be difficult to find a wife in the future.
There was also the name that gave him a headache, Lele, Lele, a name that was not even used by giant pandas. Shen Fei couldn't put it down, and he was sure to call it that. Since his father liked it, she couldn't refute it. The so-called popularization is easy to make a living. But this is too good to make a living.
Xin Yiren looked at them with a smile on his face, remembering that Su Yi had talked to him more than once about leaving the palace. In everyone's eyes, he was the one who should leave the palace, but he didn't think so. The harem has become accustomed to this way of life over the years, but it is difficult to adapt to it after going out.
Maybe, one day there will be a woman who will make him willingly ask the emperor to let him leave the palace, but how can there be so many people who are willing? Among those who have experienced the "chaos" back then, how many of them will take a fancy to the misty woman in him? It doesn’t look good either.[
…
The lively and prosperous capital is singing and dancing, the broad roads are crowded with people entering the capital, talented people and strangers in bright clothes and angry horses gather in the capital, it is the beginning of another year, literati, wealthy and capable people aspire to high positions, and plan A year of gains.
Zhou Tian relaxedly leaned on the couch of the carriage, watching the childish conversation between the two children, took the warm wine from Xin Yiren, and admired his own peaceful and prosperous age in a slight leisurely manner. It is true that wine is not intoxicating, people are intoxicated by themselves. …
The Academy of Sciences underwent a renovation in the second year of Kangtai, and the Imperial Palace was greatly upgraded. Today, the Academy of Sciences has several foreign assistants, including master craftsmen from Qi and Ying who stayed here.
Yanle got off the carriage and flew out like a runaway horse, wanting to "knead" all the weird things that he thought were rare.
Yan Ling hurriedly chased after him. This was not the Yaohua Palace. Some things were deadly.
Zhou Tianfei stood up and grabbed the two little things neatly, with a slightly angry look on his face: "Follow me! Otherwise I will drive you back!"
These words were of little use to Yanle, who was more than two years old. He was at the age where he didn't understand things and was naturally interested in things. He only played with a bicycle, a thing suitable for six or seven-year-old children, for five minutes. He lacks interest, but because his father is present, he doesn't dare to be naughty.
When Zhou Tian came to the Academy of Sciences, she couldn't stare at them unblinkingly. It was inevitable that she would be asked to go there if something happened.
When Yan Le took advantage of his father being called away by an old man, he eagerly grabbed his brother and went to play with the huge models he had just seen.
Xin Yiren came over immediately, looked at him seriously, and strictly prohibited him from leaving the boundaries of bicycle research and development.
Yanle tilted her cute little head and looked at him: "Idiot dad, my eldest brother is the biggest here. If the eldest brother says to go, he can go! Brother, I want to go! I want to go! I want to go! Ahhh!" Yanle rushed to Xin Yiren. After finishing the ceremony, he started to make trouble with Yan Lingli and would not give up until his goal was achieved.
No matter how old Yan Ling is, he is always cared for by everyone. He does not fully understand danger, but he has always had a strong heart to take care of his younger brother, so he nodded and acknowledged it happily for Yan Le.
A group of eunuchs and maids, their hearts suddenly in their throats, followed the two masters cautiously, lest they bump into the two restless masters.
Xin Yiren stopped a young eunuch to inform the emperor, and he hurriedly chased after him. In a short time, the few of them were out of the emperor's royal area and walked into the important production place of Yanguo's many farming equipment and industrial development machinery.[
Yanle discovered a large pool with a large wooden ship floating on the surface. On the deck of the ship squatted an unfinished artillery piece. He immediately said excitedly: "Brother, look." Then three times five divided by two,
He climbed onto the protective pond that was only three feet high and looked up at the ship, which was even bigger for him: "It's so big!"
The little eunuchs hurriedly hugged him, but he forcefully said, "If you touch me again, I will jump down!" As he said that, he climbed up to the pool again and looked at the giant creature he had never seen before with admiration.
Yan Ling was also surprised to see something he had never seen before. It was many times bigger than the bicycle his father gave them to play with. It actually moved on the water, so beautiful.
Xin Yiren caught up and saw the Second Highness standing beside the huge pool. He broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly stepped forward to pick him up and come down: "The Emperor is looking for you, go back quickly."
"No! Put me down! Ah——" Yanle thumped hard but refused to leave.
As soon as Yanling heard that his father was looking for him, he immediately put away the admiration in his eyes and stepped forward to take his brother away.
Suddenly a figure appeared on the tall ship. He was almost half floating on the ship. He was wearing wooden clothes and looked at them doubtfully. The moment he saw Xin Yiren, it was ironic.
He made a sound, then his eyes lit up and he said: "Is that the Demon King in your arms?"
Zi Cheyexue said as she floated down from the ship. He is now responsible for developing Yan Kingdom's maritime combat weapons. Everyone knows Yan Zhoutian's thoughts. I really don't know what Qi Ying and the two countries are thinking. They haven't caught this monster yet.
In the dungeon, be careful of women who mislead the country and let Yan Zhoutian climb on your head!
Xin Yi reluctantly said: "Master Ziche, can you save face for Xiaguan? After all, Xiaguan is also the father of the child. You are doing this in front of me..."
Zi Che Yexue waved her hand generously: "Don't say it, don't say it." But she still looked at His Highness and said: "It's a pity that he will be as long as his father. It's a pity that he would be more beautiful like her. Forgot,
Why are you so handsome as a man?"
Yan Ling heard the disrespect in his eyes and looked straight at him with calm eyes.
Zi Che Yexue stepped forward and pinched Yan Ling's tender face: "What are you looking at? Call me uncle." She didn't let go until two marks appeared on her face: "Little guy, no wonder your father likes it, I like it after seeing it.
." Resolutely not to call him uncle, he will not recognize the relationship with Zi Cheshi.
Zi Cheshi really didn't shy away from suspicion. The title of the noblest among the four concubines gave him an advantage, but I heard that his actual ranking was not high. He even called Xin Yiren a brother, saying that men are not smart when meeting women.
Clearly, he had to squeeze in and call someone else brother!
Xin Yiren complained: "Master Yexue, you are hurting His Highness!"
When Yanle saw someone pinching his brother, he immediately broke away from Xin Yiren and hit Zi Che Yexue in an instant: "Bad guy, bad guy! Bad guy!"
The snow in the carriage pushed aside the heavy people. He had only been in Shengdu for two months, and these little ones had not seen him yet. Now seeing him leave when he was still in her belly, and now such a big child, she couldn't help but lament the time in her heart.
So fast.
Zi Che Yexue restrained Yanle and handed it to Xin Yiren: "Okay, take them away. The underground river leads to the abyss below. If her beloved falls into it, it will be difficult for her to save her even if she wants to."
Xin Yiren hurriedly took over the kicking Second Highness: "Thank you, Master. Please don't blame me for disturbing you. Let's go first." After saying that, regardless of Yanle's temper, he quickly took the two Highnesses away.
Zi Cheyexue watched them leave, and her body slowly floated back to the ship. Looking at the familiar light in their eyes, she felt that this big ship would definitely have its prestige in their hands in the future.
Inside the Hubu Yamen.
Sun Qingmu pinched the gold-plated folding book in his hand and put it into the 'want' side.
Everyone saw his current wealth and forgot that they were still cautious despite their wealth. This was a suggestion to the emperor to accept concubines. No matter how beautifully the emperor threw them away after falling into his hands, they would still present them to him.
emperor.
He just didn't understand whether Meng Xianji was too idle and got involved again, or because all the male concubines were busy with official duties, and the emperor needed to recruit good men to serve him!
Sun Qingmu thought that he did not mind the embarrassment that Su Yi had caused him. This time, he spared no effort to unite everyone to write a letter asking the emperor to consider accepting male concubines for the sake of the emperor's heir.
Sun Qingmu smiled bitterly, this meant that they were unable to give birth to the emperor...
In the evening, Zhou Tian took the two skin monkeys back to the palace.
Wrong, one is a monkey, the other is easy to take care of, Yan Le is really terrible! With sore waist and back pain, it will be hard to take care of his eunuchs and maids. Let Eunuch Lu give them a raise some other time!
"Stop running! What should I do if I bump into him? Eunuch Lu, throw him to his father." He was not generally restless.
Yanle struggled not to leave: "My model! My model!" But his weak opinions were always ignored by people higher than him, and were enforced forcefully!
Okay! Since he has to leave, he must take away: "My model!" That was given to him by Uncle Yexue!
"Take them all away! It's all yours! No one robs it!"
"Father is so kind!" Take them all! Take them all, in your pockets, in your hands, and even in your mouth. Xiao Yanle greedily stuffed them everywhere. When saying goodbye, she realized that a complete sentence of "Resignation" was not enough.
Can't tell!
Zhou Tian didn't dare to blame him, he just laughed out of breath looking at his greedy look! "Okay, no need to say goodbye, let's go." Little thing!
Yanling knew that the two of them had delayed his father's time today, so he and his attendants bid farewell to his father.
Zhou Tian watched Yan Ling obediently leave with his attendants, and felt very comforted. There was always someone to worry about.
After dinner on Sunday, she took a hot bath. She picked up the book she had compiled and looked through it. When she saw the big characters Meng Xianji, she couldn't help but want to laugh. When she saw his proposal, she suddenly felt that this man
intimate.
Eunuch Lu came over with a towel heater, put the emperor's hair on the snow-white towel, and used the insulated heater to dry the emperor's hair: "What are you laughing at!"
"Meng Xianji, you want me to choose Xing'er to enter the palace."
Eunuch Lu couldn’t understand what the emperor was saying at all!
…
At dawn, the morning dynasty had ended, and groups of ministers came out of Jiying Hall and approached Taihe Gate.
Yanle suddenly jumped out from behind the huge stone beast holding a model ship, and instantly jumped in front of Shen Chengan who had just come down to talk to his colleagues: "Grandpa! Look! Uncle Yexue made it for me!" He shook his chubby little hands and looked at his grandfather expectantly with his shining eyes: "Does it look good?"
Shen Chengan immediately stopped what he was saying and was shocked: "Your Majesty!" Can there be anything unsightly about the emperor's grandson? A doting smile suddenly appeared on his face, and he led all his colleagues to kneel down with honor. : "Welcome to see your prince, may your prince be in good health and may you be blessed."
Yan Le drowned in Grandpa's arms: "Get up." He smiled and let Grandpa see his model: "Uncle said that when Lele grows up, he can command them to go to sea to conquer all the countries in the world and make them bow their heads! In my dynasty, the power of the emperor Pay tribute to me!" He said with a proud face, as if he had seen the feat that all the countries came to congratulate.
Shen Chengan picked up his grandson and was moved by his frank words of "pay tribute to me". His grandson is the son of the emperor, so he should use the most rebellious words in the world to show his dignity! Even if the emperor has a concubine, what will happen? No matter what, his grandson has brothers to protect him and is more noble than others.
"I, King Mu, have great ambitions! Your father will be proud of you."
"Really!" The little guy was excited: "I'm going to see my father." He said and led a group of eunuchs and maids chasing behind him.
Shen Cheng'an watched his grandson running away with a smile on his face. What could be more comfortable than what he was doing now? Feeling the envy and puzzled faces of the ministers, he felt even more comfortable and happy with everything. Unhappy, cheerful again.
Sun Kangde walked behind the crowd and looked enviously at Shen Chengan and Prince Mu who had run away. He couldn't help but look at his son behind him and sighed inaudibly. When would he have a grandson?
"Don't worry, the emperor has not chosen a male attendant for so many years, and he probably won't let go this time. When it comes to you, it doesn't look good to let Meng Xianji find the excuse to continue the emperor's heir. It will be unavoidable for the emperor to only have two princes. Less, don't be busy with official duties and spend more time with the emperor."
Then he asked his son in a low voice: "Have you ever hurt me by being an escort before? Do you need father?"
Sun Qingmu was thinking about why the Second Highness sneaked into the front hall. He had been making trouble in the harem all night for the model last night. The emperor was angry and he stopped. Unexpectedly, he was blocking his grandfather on the way to leave the court early in the morning. He was really full of energy. .
Sun Kangde coughed heavily, how could he have the nerve to say such words in detail: "Did you hear what I said? Did it mean -"
Sun Qingmu was at a loss.
When Sun Kangde saw this, his face turned red and he repeated it.
Sun Qingmu immediately couldn't laugh or cry. They considered that no matter who was sleeping with the emperor, they all took "medicine". In addition, the emperor had been resting, so it was not surprising that he did not have children. The two princes were still young, and the doctor suggested that the emperor should be raised again. They can't give birth, but there is no need to explain this to their father: "Dad, you are thinking too much. I have something to do at the yamen, so I'll leave first. Please go back slowly."
He said and left quickly.
Su Yongzhong envied Shen Chengan the most. Shen Chengan had not changed his official position over the years, but he had become more and more powerful. The officials at that time knew that the second prince was the grandson of the Shen family. Who else could the grandfather of Prince Mu please? Being close to Shen Chengan also made many people afraid to show mercy to Shen Chengan, which made his work efficiency improve a lot in recent years.
In the past, in the imperial court, he and Shen Chengan were the only ones who rose to the rank of second-rank official through their sons. They were generally recognized as having no work and no money. They relied entirely on their sons to win the Holy Eyes and become what they are today. Unexpectedly, Shen Chengan is now an official. It’s getting better and better. Let the newcomers who don’t know what it is called think that Shen Chengan is worthy of his name!
Su Yongzhong became angry just thinking about it. Seeing him hugging Prince Wanmu and talking and laughing with other colleagues made him angry!
But thinking that he could have a grandson, he immediately searched for Su Yi in the crowd. After searching for a long time, he couldn't find anyone. He threw up his sleeves and left in anger! I don't know what Su Yi was thinking! In the past two years, he has become increasingly disconnected from his family. Close! It seems that he has to find a way to repair the relationship between father and son.
In the past two years, the newly appointed officials only thought that Prince Mu was as beautiful as the legend, because Concubine Shen was also close to Master Shen. After a few meetings, they concluded that Prince Mu was as close a relative as his title, and his temperament The kind and good prince.
Song Yanyao looked at all this and had some thoughts in his heart. Then he thought about the old matter mentioned to Meng Xianji earlier. Maybe he should have confirmed His Highness's position as the crown prince, the eldest son. Even if he has younger siblings in the future, he will be surpassed by others!
Song Yanjie thought of this and carefully analyzed the emperor's performance in recent years. He felt that the sooner this happened, the better. He also felt that this was what the emperor thought. The emperor could not have a bastard because she was the father, so he could only have the eldest son. , the eldest son was raised by the Queen, His Highness the Second Highness was crowned king prematurely, and the remaining things were not natural, but he only thought of it now.
Song Yanhuo quickly stopped Yin Huo, and Zhang Ting said, urgent consultation.
Zhang Tingdao was flattered! The prime minister actually came to him to discuss important matters! He would wake up laughing even in his dreams! This is recognition!
Xin Cheng didn't notice the strange movements of Prime Minister Song. He looked at the direction in which His Highness the Second Prince disappeared and decided to go to the military camp to block his son!
Duan Liang's case is not far from Shen Chengan. He heard what Prince Mu just said word for word. The emperor is already dissatisfied with the land battle and has he transferred the naval battle?
Today's Yan Kingdom is no longer an era where there are only a few capable ministers and important ministers can stand out. There is no more than one good minister and no less. If you want to be stable, you need someone in the harem. I think this time many courtiers seconded the universal selection of concubines. Very big relationship.
Duan Lianggan looked at Duan Jingchen who was gradually approaching and passing by and then walked away. He felt ironic in his heart. Didn't he hate him to the core? Why did he stand up and speak out when handling the Heihu family case a year ago! If he successfully dismounted, It’s not what he wanted!
Or is it because of Duan Liang's case that his villain's heart has reached the heart of a gentleman?
Wang Ping called Duan Lianggan: "Duan Shangshu, why are you still standing? Aren't you leaving?"
"Let's go together."
…
In the study room, the young eunuch has prepared the regular clothes that the emperor will change into.
Eunuch Lu smiled and helped the emperor change out of his court clothes and put on his regular clothes. The narrow smile at the corner of his mouth could not hide the contentment in his heart: "Your Majesty, I think Lord Meng's proposal is very good. Your Majesty has not changed his appetite for five years. Please change it for something fresh." It’s so good to try it.”
Zhou Tian straightened his collar in front of the bronze mirror and looked at Eunuch Lu who was looking down funny: "I'm already at this age, so I'm afraid of indigestion if I try a few fresh ones." Those in their thirties are already married, and those who are not married are not. She is only sixteen or seventeen years old, how can she be allowed to raise a bunch of young ladies?
Eunuch Lu chose a belt from the plate and pinned it on the emperor: "What the emperor said is not true. Mr. Zhang from the Zhang family, many of the new subjects who took the exam last autumn were not married. Master Yexue has not yet married, and so has Su Shuijian. , If the Emperor likes it, it is not a matter of your words."
Zhou Tian couldn't help but admire Eunuch Lu's powerful sexual ability: "What do you think about when you are with me all day long?" Besides, it's good like this now, why bother to go to the harem and not see her for a year, treating the man as a woman?
Ah, he has such great patience: "Have you found the culprit in the theft case in the Heavenly Palace yesterday?"
Eunuch Lu immediately said seriously: "Back to the emperor, I have not seen that the slaves have been handed over to the jade belt according to the emperor's instructions. The emperor thinks those people are here for the Eagle Emperor?"
Zhou Tian said in a calm tone: "I dare to steal the blood beads not because of the Eagle Emperor, but also because of them. When Fengliu ascended the throne, he said that someone was causing trouble. He has been in power for a year this year. I wonder if he will do something big this year.
." The only reason is that he didn't pay attention at the beginning and started too late. Some brothers inevitably became a problem, and he wasted all his efforts to eliminate them.
Eunuch Lu was not worried at all about Xiao Xiao peeping into his Yan Kingdom Palace. What about the masters from Ying and Qi who entered his Yan Kingdom Palace and returned without a trace: "Your Majesty, you want to go?"
"Aren't you curious about what they are doing with their tails raised to the sky?"
Eunuch Lu couldn't help but laugh: "Your Majesty, look at what you said. If Emperor Ying and Emperor Qi hear this, be careful to punish you for your treason."
hehe!
"Then, the matter of choosing servants..." Eunuch Lu refused to give up. The Emperor is the most powerful person in the world, how could he just let it go like this?
"Don't worry, he won't have the energy to take the lead in making mischief in two days!" Miss Xing is already a big boss, so people may not necessarily like Meng Xianji. If he is very free, she doesn't mind finding something for him to do.
It seems that Yan Kingdom has been idle recently. The canalization of the two rivers was fully completed at the beginning of this year. The canals are already on the way to be completed. The hard work on the rivers in the past years and the Horse City, plains and other places have produced stable profits. In the future, Yan Kingdom will only need the country.
Provocation is definitely the way to go! But is there anyone provoking? I'm afraid we have to consider Ying Qi first.
…
Jingzhe, thunder, spring comes early.
In the fourth year of Kangtai, the first important solar term, Jingzhe Ancestor Worshiping, was about to begin. The palace was busy with people sweeping dust, descaling, personalizing, and bringing in new people, in order to have a good omen for the year.
The palace people cleverly put on their slightly modified new clothes, and the eunuchs hurriedly went to the cleansing room where the newcomers were coming today to receive a few young eunuchs named Master and took them with them. The new maids in the palace passed one by one for inspection. The palace
The whole place wants to add new joy to the festival.
The male concubines of the Four Palaces gathered in Huaqing Palace to discuss the tasks assigned for the day. The Dragon Qi and Fortune of Jingzhe were particularly important, and the sacrifice to the Earth God was not to be neglected, and Sun Qingmu did not dare to slack off.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs sent Lufu clothes for the solar term, all of which were embroidered with the good meaning of a good harvest and a good harvest.
Huaqing Palace was a palace for imperial concubines, and it was supposed to be a place for Zi Cheshi, who had picked up a bargain, but Sun Qingmu was the first to enter the palace among the four palaces, and Zi Cheshi was not suitable emotionally or rationally to really occupy the title of imperial concubine.
So Sun Qingmu moved to the Huaqing Palace where the imperial concubine was enthroned. Su Yi could not move, Shen Fei could not move, and Zi Cheshi moved into the Chengqian Palace where Sun Qingmu originally lived.
Ranking was calculated privately based on the length of time in the palace. Zi Cheshi was ranked last, so His Highness just called him Sixth Daddy.
In the grandly decorated palace, Su Yi sat on a cushioned sandalwood chair, with her long hair half hanging on the ground. She wore a slim-fitting straight-sleeved palace dress, looking noble and graceful. The owner of the clothes fiddled with his hands unhappily.
The Lufu inside was finally thrown to the ground in disgust:
"I won't wear it! I want to wear the blouse that the emperor personally selected last year." It was so ugly that this year's uniform had a grudge against him. It exposed all the shortcomings of his figure. After paying homage to the Guo Temple, he wanted to wear it again.
The ugliest male concubine in the emperor's harem was elected, and he didn't wear any clothes!
Shen Fei sipped the tea. Because he had his son by his side, he became more radiant and distinguished. Wearing the same clothes, he sat among the men. He was even better at making vases than others: "Don't dress well! Women from Shengdu I hope you never wear it, it’s so eye-catching.”
Su Yi snorted coldly: "It's not as loud as your voice. If you don't wear it, the Earth God will be happy to bring out more dragon energy. Why don't you contribute and don't wear it."
Shen Fei thought this was a good saying: "I don't know if the Earth God can do it, but the Emperor will definitely do it. What did the Emperor say, 'How much sex do you want to try?' What about me?" It is also a sin for a man to be too good-looking!
Su Yi raised his eyes: "If you don't hurry up and use your beauty to make the emperor fall in love with you, I will save a few brothers from worrying."
Mentioning this matter, there was a brief silence among several people in tacit understanding. No matter how high the position, the age, or the age, they are not as pitiable as the active and energetic children. If the emperor likes one or two, how can he be so fresh? sky.
Zi Cheshi coughed twice. The change of seasons always made him accidentally happy. The Jingzhe was the most shocking, but in the harem, you can't be too unsocial. This time, he proposed to select male waiters, which was really a headache. Zi Cheshi After thinking for a while, he said: "Su Shuiqu is coming back. He has always been polite and loyal, and the emperor is obedient to him."
Su Yi idly fiddled with the tea cup at hand and said with a taste: "He came from the same place as you. In the future, you can practice your skills and compete for favors. From now on, I will be left alone with no one to help me. I don't know when I will be hidden by the emperor." Know."
"Didn't the Emperor spend the night at your place last night?" Sun Qingmu glanced at him: "You really want a brother, why not give Duan Shi of Ganquan Palace a chance? Wouldn't it be great for you to join hands in the world from now on?"
Su Yi moved slightly when he heard the words, feeling a little uncomfortable: "It's just talk, why are you being serious? By the way, Su Shuiqu is actually pretty good. He has no characteristics and is dull. If we really choose a few to enter the palace, I will Him." I feel really uncomfortable saying this.
Sun Qingmu asked someone to accept his salary and uniform, and said calmly: "I think he has little chance. Su Shuijian has made great contributions to the country. He will definitely be promoted when he returns to the palace. He is busy with official duties, so I am afraid he will not be selected."
Shen Fei looked at his eldest brother and the others and asked incomprehensively: "Why did Meng Xianji say that we have to think of candidates? Yes, we are old and useless. We need something fresh to stimulate the emperor. It is best to give birth to seven or eight children." As an heir to the emperor, please ask the courtiers not to stare at His Highness, but! The emperor is our woman, why should we give in!"
Sun Qingmu, Su Yi, and Zi Cheshi remained silent.
Even Su Yi knew how difficult it would be to monopolize the emperor now. The drama of jealousy was no longer suitable for Haiyan Heqing's Yan Kingdom. The emperor was already the most respected person in the hearts of the ministers. The imperial concubines were treasonous, and this was not the most unprepared thing for them, but the fact that they could not "touch" those people and come up with some shameful tricks to get the emperor to have a "chance encounter" or "night meeting" or something like that, made them unable to guard against them.
When Shen Fei saw that they didn't speak, he also knew that these people wanted to pretend to be virtuous, but virtuousness comes only a second time. In the future, they will become less and less new, and newcomers will surpass them sooner or later. Even if those people are easy to control, there are still As for the queen, it would be a good idea for them to encourage her children to compete for the heirloom, as they are afraid that the emperor will be pissed to death by the unsatisfactory bastard first!
Shen Fei felt that in the final analysis, he had to settle it once and for all, so that the Yan Kingdom officials would never dare to mention the matter of serving the emperor again: "What do you think of Luo Ximing?"
Sun Qingmu, Su Yi, and Zi Cheshi looked at him in surprise, as if he had said something shocking.
Shen Fei's calm and ashamed face was solemn and solemn at this moment, and his fierce aura was similar to when His Highness was cursing: "In the past two years, we have not thought about the man from Eagle Kingdom, and we have tried not to mention what the emperor said that night, but Those people are a serious problem. The emperor must marry someone who will forever preserve the foundation of Yanguo. Although Emperor Qi is just, he can be ruthless, romantic and infatuated, but he is arrogant. If he enters the palace, he will share the favor of you and me. He is now the Eagle Emperor, and his martial arts skills are superior to ours. If he wants to dominate the emperor, you and I have no chance of winning.
Luo Ximing is different. Judging from his performance that night, he is a reserved person and doesn't ask for much. What's more, the Lord of the Jade Belt has missions to do all year round. He may not always have time to be in Shengdu. What's important is that he His identity and status are more convincing than the other two. Don’t we still have a vacant position for the male queen? Let’s give it to him and see who dares to choose another male attendant for the emperor.”
Several people were silent after hearing this. Luo Ximing was a hidden injury that none of them wanted to mention. The gap in ability and the emperor's inability to help them when facing them made them proud again and again. Frustrated!
After Zi Cheshi was silent for a long time, he slowly spoke: "Master Luo is indeed a true hero, and he can shock Emperor Qi and Emperor Ying. The emperor has no love for him. If Master Luo can be made to follow the emperor, what will happen to the emperor?" Baili."
"But the matter of the Eagle Emperor..." The Eagle Emperor is very favored by Lord Luo. Lord Luo will not snatch his younger brother's woman. He didn't do it two years ago, and he won't even do it now. In order to avoid being suspicious of Lord Luo, he only had to do it once in the past two years. A letter from the Emperor. I have not contacted the Emperor. I am afraid...
Su Yi looked around and said nothing at them. For such a difficult matter, he should be his jester and let the person with the best brains go. Be careful not to flatter the wrong person and let those three perverts roast him.
Zi Cheshi looked at Sun Qingmu.
Sun Qingmu looked at Che Shi.
Both of them have an idea in mind, but...it's not what a gentleman would do...
Sun Qingmu put the matter aside first: "On the day of the Jingzhe, the queen accompanied the emperor to worship the ancestors. Su Yi and Shen Fei came back from plowing the road and took up their duties immediately. The safety of Shengdu is important to you two. You did a good job last year. Keep it up this year. At that time, anyone who is selected by the civil servants and the emperor will have to advance early. Shi's health is not good, how about he comes back after plowing the road and rests?" Sun Qingmu looked at Zi Cheshi.
Zi Che Shigong said with his hands: "Thank you very much."
Seeing that these two old foxes seemed to have reached some kind of tacit understanding that required hesitation, Shen Fei was not in a hurry to speak. When he pulled Luo Ximing in, he had another consideration. In their position, what the jade belt represented was extremely terrifying. If the emperor can control its master, even if it takes two years, the Yan Kingdom will be able to reach a new level in national power.
Seeing that the matter was finalized, Su Yi quickly reiterated: "I won't wear that suit of clothes!" Don't think he forgot.
Shen Fei said: "Then if you wear last year's one, it will appear that you are unconventional and different. Maybe some bold little girl will throw a silk handkerchief on you!"
When Su Yi heard Shen Fei mention his embarrassing incident last year, he felt angry because the emperor laughed at him for a month after that day and said that good people can be bullied. Tonight he went to intercept the emperor: "Second brother! Come and see. Your dad! Your dad built you an aircraft carrier!"
Sun Qingmu laughed: "You really have to call His Highness here! He should start making noises and follow."
When Shen Fei heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, yes. Why didn't his son go to such a glorious thing?
Sun Qingmu quickly asked him to stop: "Prince Mu has something to do with Prince Mu. Don't think about it. It's hard to go back and change your clothes! On the day of Jingzhe, we sent someone to keep an eye on His Highness. Shen Fei, you can restrain him on weekdays. Although the Emperor doesn't say anything, But as an heir to the emperor, His Highness the Second Highness should have the dignity of an heir. You see, you teach him to climb trees and be lazy every day, how can he look like an heir to the emperor?"
"Yes, I'll keep this in mind." The left ear goes in and the right ear goes out.
…
On Jingzhe Day, the royal guard of honor was ready to go. Tens of thousands of Imperial Guards and 20,000 new troops were already stationed on the avenue where the guard of honor would pass. Surrounded by a sea of people, it was so crowded that it was airtight.
The dark yellow dragon-pattern flag danced in the wind, and the strong wind was full of life. The huge honor guard took the first step at the auspicious time calculated by the Qintian Supervisor. Suddenly, there were loud gongs and drums, colorful ribbons, singing, dancing, music, praise, and blessings. With devout prayers, set out for the land of spring.
Jingzhe put agriculture first, and the emperor personally went to work in the fields. He said: "Agriculture is the foundation of the world. Gold, pearls, and jade cannot be eaten when hungry, and cannot be clothed when cold... He ordered the county and state affairs to encourage farmers to cultivate mulberry trees and plant trees, which can be harvested. Food and clothing.”
The emperor loves the land deeply, unleashes its potential, benefits the people living on it, grows and thrives, and nourishes all edible things.
Zhou Tian was dressed in a heavy sacrificial robe, and the dark and solemn clothes with gold rims and divine patterns were full of a strange and enchanting aura. When worn on Zhou Tian, who had fair skin and well-maintained skin, it added a sense of noble deity to his body.
Wherever Zhou Tian went, the people knelt down and worshiped. Compared with the previous scenes where travelers were scrambling to escape, the Yan Country today was considered a country.
The cold wind in the suburbs was biting, and the colorful flags were rustling in the wind. A piece of newly unearthed green came into Zhou Tian's field of vision, making him feel instantly relaxed. Zhou Tian took the queen's hand and whispered in her ear: "It's cold and there's frost and snow on the ground, so be careful."
"Thank you, Your Majesty. I remember you!"
The people gathered far outside Longjian to pay homage to the mother of the country. This woman who has carried the expectations of the people of Yanguo has become more and more popular in recent years. For no other reason than that she has given birth to His Highness and is able to give birth to a son. The emperor, who had many concubines, kept many years of love in his heart, which earned him respect.
Sun Qingmu, Su Yi, Shen Fei, and Zi Cheshi followed closely behind.
Mo Qianye followed at the end, not because Sun Qingmu put her behind, but because Mo Qianye felt that this position was not noticed by others and was prone to laziness. Sun Qingmu had always followed her, and this year was no exception.
Mo Qianye was walking at the back of the crowd, with thick eyebrows and starry eyes, and a far-reaching gaze. Her expression was solemn and seemingly casual. If you look closely, you can see that she is hidden among the many attendants, which is accidentally obvious.
Duan Jingchen and Xin Yiren followed at the end. In these years, apart from appearing on official occasions, they did not participate in any royal activities at other times.
At this moment, Duan Jingchen and Xin Yiren blended in with the people accompanying them, making them even more inconspicuous than Mo Qianye.
The team stopped in the green suburbs. Everyone's eyes were attracted to the emperor and queen, but Duan Jingchen noticed that Mo Qianye moved back with an expression on his face.
Duan Jingchen held the magic card firmly with one hand, and quietly poked Xin Yiren with his left hand: "Did you see that, I said there is something wrong with her? Logically speaking, she is the princess of the Mo Kingdom, who would pay attention to where she is, but she wants to hide it, isn't it? What does it mean to be a thief with a guilty conscience?"
Xin Yiren looked ahead seriously, ready to perform the ritual of kowtow at any time, but the waiting time was long, and the emperor and queen had not yet finished their work: "What do you mean by Luan? The princess is a daughter of a family and has made many achievements in the military camp. You
Don't say that you have offended her, and she will ask the emperor to lock you up again."
Duan Jingchen didn't take it seriously: "I didn't say it randomly. In the past few years, she has been wandering around the military camp as a man. There are many good men in the army, but none of them are attracted to her?" Duan Jingchen looked at Xin Yiren mysteriously: "You and me?
In her department, tell me who she is best friends with."
Hearing this, Xin Yiren vaguely remembered that there were rumors in the military camp that she and Mi Nianmo had a close relationship. He also bumped into the two of them together many times. First, it was Mo Qianye who taught Mi Nianmo, who was still a newcomer, and later it was Mi Nianmo and Mo Qianye.
Qianye discussed the situation in the army together. He helped the Tianwei Kingdom three years ago and heard that Mi Nianmo seemed to have saved Princess Qianye.
"Don't talk nonsense! Princess Qianye is not that kind of person." Princess Qianye's reputation has been damaged, and if he continues to gossip, it will be even worse for her.
Duan Jingchen looked straight ahead at Xin Yiren. Seeing that there was no movement in the first row, he thought about starting plowing, so he said: "You are still pretending that you don't understand. Although Princess Qianye is the emperor's concubine, the emperor hopes that she will
Have a great time, besides, Princess Chiba is also an expert in love, and with our emperor as an example, she will be afraid of gossip!"
"Then some words are not what we should say." After all, Xin Yiren was young and was well protected by Su Yi and Duan Jingchen in the palace. Black Hu in the military camp took good care of him, but he was not as profound as Duan Jingchen.
Duan Jingchen was too lazy to talk to him anymore: "Okay, okay, you are the emperor's good concubine and the princess's lover, so you can hide it for her! When something unpleasant happens, the emperor can still pick up a child for free.
How nice.”
Xin Yiren felt uneasy after being told by Duan Jingchen, and secretly glanced at Mo Qianye in front of him, thinking, no, the princess's character is paranoid, but she doesn't look like a random person.
"Don't read it, be careful about rumors that you have a crush on Imperial Concubine Qianba flying around tomorrow."
—— Kneel down! Kowtow, the weather will be favorable and the country will be healthy, the world will be peaceful and the harvest will be plentiful. Kneel down! Kowtow. The dragon will come out of the valley and soar thousands of miles away. The soil slope will bind the mother and father for five years. Kneel down! ——
After six kowtows, the dragon-like procession stood up, took one step forward, and continued the unfinished ninety-nine kowtows.
Duan Jingchen stood up and knelt down again: "Just wait, something will happen within two years."
"Kneel down to the gods. If you are sincere, you have offended the gods and brought disaster to the people."
Duan Jingchen glanced at him with a ghostly look. He must have become stupid after reading sage books. Alas, this kid can talk back in a serious manner now. He is not as well-behaved as before.
Outside the confines of the royal enclosure, there was a sea of people. Following Eunuch Lu's powerful voice, the devout people also kowtowed.
Among the inconspicuous crowd, there are some inconspicuous people kneeling, ordinary-looking people who are persistently wearing the brocade clothes they love, and their frames cannot even support the slender and gorgeous clothes on their bodies.
He knelt next to the girl who was completely covered in black clothes, and kowtowed as he knelt down: "Don't worry, he didn't choose you in the end. My beloved entered the palace, and you were left alone to remember the past love. Are you stupid?
stupid."
At the end of the ninety-nine kowtows, Xing'er stood up, wearing a large black cloak on her head, and her sharp eyes immediately shot towards Meng Xianji behind her. Her red lips were particularly beautiful against the black clothes: "Meng Xianji, you are so precious."
Dian De! If there is any unpleasant news from his current position, be careful to kill you first to bury his innocence."
When Meng Xianji heard this, he frowned and became calm again. He was still protective of him like this, but he still felt attached to him.
Xing'er walked a few steps and saw that he was not chasing after him. She breathed a sigh of relief. She turned around again and walked through the huge gap among the crowd to see the figure in the distance. She lowered her head lonelyly. After a while, she seemed to have thought of something.
Take a breath, put a smile in your eyes, she will treat him well.
…
At dawn, the fog has not dissipated, and small sedans made of woolen cloth are gathering in an orderly manner towards Shengdu. This is the spring of the year after the Waking of Insects.
Today, all officials of the fourth rank and above in the Shengdu capital are present, a total of one thousand people.
When the sound of the "Shang Dynasty" was sounded, the fog dispersed, and the bright sunlight shone gently on everything, covering the palace pavilions with a gorgeous coat. The Jiying Hall was filled with civil and military officials, and they were forced to line up the stone steps from the third rank down.
Standing on.
Zhou Tian's forceful and gentle voice sounded: "In the past year, the Yan Kingdom quelled the grass bandits, reorganized the army, opened up the two rivers, and made the country peaceful and peaceful. These are inseparable from the efforts of all my dear friends. Without your spare no effort in execution, there would be no Yan country.
Today, the country is safe, healthy and prosperous.”
"Your Majesty brings blessings to the world! I dare not take credit!"
"Jingzhe has passed, and it is another busy year. I have deep confidence in all of you. The salary of your dear friends has not been adjusted for a long time. The Ministry of Household Affairs has drawn up a plan and I will reward you all."
"Long live my emperor! Long live my emperor!"
Zhou Tian looked at the increasingly mature official system and the energetic faces, and felt comforted in his heart. Thinking of Meng Xianji's proposal to accept concubines a few days ago, a wry smile appeared on his face: "I
I am very pleased with the achievements of all of you, and I understand everyone’s worries, but I am not young anymore, and I really cannot bear to let all of you and your children stay away from their parents, so please don’t discuss the matter of having a concubine!”
After hearing this, all the ministers died with a sigh of disappointment. The emperor was in his prime, how could he say that he was old, but no one dared to question the emperor. Although the emperor was generous, everything he did was still straightforward, which annoyed the emperor.
She may not necessarily play your cards right with you.
Song Yanyi heard the emperor mention the draft and knew that the opportunity had come, so he stepped out and said: "Your Majesty, I have something to report to you."
Zhou Tian was in a good mood: "Say."
"Back to the Emperor, our country of Yan is now healthy and happy, the country is peaceful and the people are at peace. The emperor is brave and generous, but his decision-making is wrong. The emperor's grace is great. God bless the country of Yan. The emperor now has two sons. The so-called order of elders and young ones cannot be biased. Your Highness, the two
He was granted the title of King Mu years ago, and His Highness was raised by the middle palace, but has not yet been enthroned. I have the courage to ask the Emperor to grant His Majesty the title of Crown Prince in order to protect the whole country."
Yin Huo was the first to come out and join in. He raised his front robe and knelt down: "I sincerely request the emperor to appoint His Highness as the crown prince." It was not that he and the prime minister were in an awkward situation, but that he felt that the emperor should have appointed the crown prince as the crown prince earlier.
Wonderful, they are all born by the emperor. How can the emperor not love them, especially mothers who prefer their young sons. If the emperor is confused and has a young son in his old age, there is no guarantee that it will not be the beginning of cholera.
Xin Cheng lowered his head and glanced at the movements of the people around him with his peripheral vision. What's going on! They want to establish a prince? What does Sun Kangde think? Where is Su Yongzhong? What about Duan Liang's case?
Zhang Tingdao came out of the procession and knelt down to ask for the order: "Please ask the emperor to appoint His Highness as the crown prince." Prime Minister Song persuaded him with one sentence. If Zi Che Shi had his own heir in the future, there is no guarantee that the head of Zi Che's family would not have other ideas.
, sending summer is a big hidden danger, you must not leave the position of the prince to let the hidden danger become clear.
Huang Youyou in the back was a little surprised. What happened? Why was Brother Zhang involved? Why was the crown prince appointed? Didn't he say hello beforehand?!
It only took the chubby Huang Youyou a moment to come to his senses, and he knelt down to ask for the order. Nowadays, official positions are getting harder and harder, and it has been his creed for many years to follow his elder brother closely. He has to kneel even if he is facing swords and fire.
Zhang Tingdao's group of people knelt down at the same time and asked for the crown prince to be crowned.
Nowadays, in their lineage, they relied on real money and silver to buy offices, and only five people are still in the court. Nowadays, there are many new people in the court, all of whom are talented and knowledgeable people. If you are not careful, you will be dismissed by the newcomers with sharp attacks.
Family, they can only stick together as a team and rely on business intuition to do their best for the development of the Yanguo Chamber of Commerce. Especially when giving out money, they must be straightforward and pleasant.
It is difficult for them, who never knew a few Chinese characters, to now be able to write long memorials to integrate the major merchants in the north, south, east and west of the Yan Kingdom, and to balance the increasingly prosperous business district of the Yan Kingdom but with endless problems. They all want to take the initiative to retire and return to their hometowns because of their headaches.
Those who only care about whether the stupid young people they bought with money can subdue the old and cunning businessmen.
The group of direct ministers followed and kowtowed: "I sincerely request the Emperor to confer His Highness the title of Crown Prince!" The elders and younger ones are arranged in an orderly manner, and they do not help relatives.
Su Yongzhong saw most of the courtiers kneeling down, and the emperor did not say anything. It was clear that he had that intention, and he felt anxious. If this matter was settled, his grandson would have no chance in the future.
Su Yongzhong looked hard at Su Yi in front of him, wishing he could stare through his head with his flaming eyes! You're talking, try to find a way to mess up this matter!
Xin Cheng couldn't move. He would never allow himself to cause this incident. Even if someone accused him of having ulterior motives afterwards, he would admit it.
Sun Kangde did not move. The emperor has not said anything yet, and has already made clear the attitude of the Tian family. Since it is an ironclad matter, it does not matter whether he talks about it or not, whether he caters to it or not.
The eyes of the troublemakers automatically fell on the male concubines of the emperor's harem, as if they wanted to see if these men would break the 'hypocritical' unity between them and fight for their future children and grandchildren. If they really fought, what should they do?
Help someone to make the fire burn brighter!
The new ministers did not understand the meaning in the eyes of the "old ministers", and thought that the "old ministers" were just sympathizing with the male concubines' plight. They couldn't help but sigh in their hearts. It doesn't matter the high position and power. It is not just a flash in the pan. There are no heirs and no tombs. In the future,
How to settle down!
Sun Qingmu stood in the crowd and did not move. He had long been accustomed to the gazes on him, let alone the gazes with good intentions and ulterior motives, which were not scary to him.
From the moment the Prime Minister opened his mouth to the present, Sun Qingmu kept his eyes straight and unbiased, until he felt a gaze that made him smile fall. Sun Qingmu stepped out with his right foot and formally came out of the queue. He lowered his head and respectfully said: "Your Majesty, are you willing to be enthroned by the Emperor?"
Your Highness is the Crown Prince!"
Su Yi and Duan Jingchen knelt down: "I would like to ask the emperor to appoint His Highness as the crown prince!"
There was an instant gasp from the ministers, some praised them for being such heroes, some admired them, some were confused, and some turned around and wanted to know whose child His Highness was.
No matter what his thoughts were, Sun Qingmu's statement led a group of new ministers who relied on the royal family to request an imperial edict.
Zhou Tian sat in a high position and took in the expressions of the ministers from behind the curtain. He couldn't help but feel relieved that the matter had finally been settled. He saw the expressions of Xin Cheng, Sun Kangde and Su Yongzhong just now. Even the always upright
Duan Liang also knelt down to ask for the order after a while, which shows that this location is indeed very attractive.
Zhou Tian further strengthened his thoughts in his heart. The position of the prince must be established. The so-called establishment of virtuous people is nonsense. Her children can be arrogant, polite, and have a bad temper, but they must not kill each other!
Zhou Tian nodded slightly: "His Highness is smart, smart, respectful and reasonable. I am very pleased. With the Queen's careful care, he is already able to observe his nature at the age of more than two years. All my dear friends, I thought of it together, okay!
Taking advantage of today's auspicious omen, the appointment of the crown prince has been decided. The Ministry of Rites and the Qintian Supervisor will pick a few good days to hold the canonization ceremony!"
"Long live my emperor! Long live!"
Is it settled like this? No one objects? It goes too smoothly, right? Is the fourth house so willing?
Whose son is this eldest prince? Is his father crazy with joy? Is the emperor secretly showing partiality? Or is the emperor afraid of unpleasantness in the future?
But - no matter what the reason is, there is no suspense! His Highness is the eldest son. As long as he does not do anything extraordinary in the future, the throne will be just around the corner. According to His character, it seems that he cannot do anything extraordinary!
The morning meeting ended with the "old ministers" doubtful and the "new ministers" calm. At the annual gathering, nothing unpleasant happened, and the candidate for the crown prince was finalized.
Everyone couldn't help but sigh, the prime minister who always shouted to retire and return to his hometown is so clever! He has contributed to the establishment of the crown prince! It is time for his son to be promoted to a higher official position. Based on this, no matter how dull the young master Song is, he can survive until his grandson Song Luzhi's reference.
At that time, the Song family will rise to prominence again.
Old fox! What a trick! He brought back the Song family who deserved to go into seclusion!
…
In the snowy land of Yaohua Palace, there is a bright soft sand like gold, which shines brightly under the moonlight at night. It is one of the famous beauty of Yaohua Palace.
It is said that the sand here is made of pearls, gold, deep sea sand, broken up and placed here. On weekdays, there are more than a dozen young eunuchs taking care of it. There are people to protect it from the rain in rainy days and people to shade it in summer. Gold is extremely valuable and priceless.
At this time, a doll wearing a double-breasted spring coat and a small cloak was shoveling in the sand with a small shovel and a bucket. He was sweating from playing. The corners of the cloak were on the sand, stained by dots of light.
.
The Second Highness was still undecided. He held a small shovel and shoveled a full shovelful of sand. He lifted it up with difficulty and sprinkled half of it in an instant. When he ran two steps and shoveled it into the bucket, only half a handful was left.
Even so, the little guy still shoveled happily.
Su Yi took a day off today, changed into regular clothes, and came over to teach the little guy archery. What kind of patience does a two-year-old child have? Most of the time he plays with his second son. Occasionally, he shoots a few arrows to attract his admiration.
As if, I am satisfied.
It's not that he doesn't care about tutoring, it's that Shen Fei has already reached the top. Why should he do whatever he wants to do? Why not make the child happy? He can also listen to the sweet cry of "Second Daddy" from the little baby's mouth. If he ends up alone in the future, he will have someone to burn paper money for.
Su Yi wore palace clothes with a waist and wide sleeves today. He entered the Yaohua Palace and saw many eunuchs surrounding the snow-white area. He knew that the person he was looking for was here.
"See Concubine Su." The eunuch responsible for the safety of His Highness the Second Highness automatically moved out of the way.
"Good morning, second daddy." Yanle struggled to pick up a shovelful of sand, put it into the bucket when it was almost done, and banged the shovel vigorously, trying to get all the sand into it.
Su Yi let them stand up leisurely, and found a smooth jade stone to sit down. He supported his left arm and tilted his body slightly to the left. His silver-white Qianluan pattern clothes fell on the jade stone, giving its owner a sense of style.
His attitude was: "Xiao Er, why are you working so hard?"
Hearing this, Yan Le wiped the sweat from his forehead, and his pink face turned red, which was really cute: "The baby is pretending to be a baby."
"Oh?" Su Yi cooperated in the chat, thinking of what was finalized earlier, looking at Yan Le now, he couldn't help but blame his father for his unrefined appearance. If his son hadn't been born such a monster, Xiao Lele would have been the prince. Hey: "You are pretending
What are you doing, baby?”
Hearing this, Yan Le shoveled up a pile of sand again. His brows were knitted together due to the exertion of his little hands. He worked hard with all his strength. He looked at his second father tenderly and said cheerfully: "Here
It looks good, and my father also said it looks good, so Lele put it on and gave it to all the dads."
Su Yi suddenly pulled back from his thoughts and looked at his son who was trying hard to 'give' them gifts. He felt very moved in his heart: "Come here, baby, let the second daddy hold you. The baby is caring, and daddy's love for you is not in vain."
Yanle quickly retreated from his second father's arms and hurriedly went about his great work: "I still want to decorate my brother."
Su Yi looked at his busy son and couldn't help but lamented that people with different fates have different fates. He suddenly said: "Bao, your brother is going to be the prince." This title once frightened everyone in the Yan Kingdom! How can anyone contradict it! In the blink of an eye, this title turned out to be like a prince.
Change of ownership, time makes people grow old!
Yanle was not affected and continued to be busy. He took a small shovel and wanted to imitate the gardener's father-in-law and found that the sand was too low to hit with the small shovel. However, he was not discouraged and continued to shovel the sand with the shovel: "
What is 'Prince'? Is it better than giving babies to their fathers?"
Su Yi said firmly: "No, Erbao's current job is better in Daddy's opinion."
Su Yi looked at the sandy soil under Yan Le's feet, each shallow footprint, messy, but happy and comfortable. Compared with these, is that position really so good? The future emperor? The future venerable, three thousand
The harem may seem carefree but may not mean anything: "In the future, he cannot be willful, he cannot climb trees to catch cicadas, he cannot speak loudly while eating, he cannot act coquettishly with his father, and he cannot cry whenever he wants like our second treasure."
cry."
Yanle cried loudly when he heard this. He dropped the small shovel on the ground and hit his feet without noticing it.
Su Yi was immediately in a hurry, rushed over to help him peel off the shovel, and held the baby in his arms distressedly: "It doesn't hurt anymore, it doesn't hurt anymore, the second baby won't cry, the second baby is the strongest."
Suddenly a gust of cold wind blew by, and Shen Fei, who was wearing a maroon palace dress, had long hair falling down, and the jade pendant around his waist had not been fastened yet. He hurriedly took the child from Su Yi's arms, feeling extremely distressed: "Be good, daddy's baby, don't cry,
Don't cry, your second father didn't do it on purpose."
Su Yi heard this: "Wait a minute, I didn't bully him, don't think wrongly."
"Oh, aren't these words to coax a child? Why don't you be more serious? Be good and don't cry. Daddy is here."
Su Yi suddenly felt, no wonder Yanle is a prince. With a father like you, he is not suitable to be a prince.
"Brother is so pitiful...so pitiful..." Yan Ling stopped crying and sobbed, opened his father's mouth, stepped forward with his thick legs, picked up the shovel on the ground, and continued: "Lele gives it to brother first..."
Shen Fei looked at his pitiful son, and then looked at Su Yi fiercely! It's weird that it has nothing to do with him.
Su Yi looked at Lele and suddenly thought of his sixth brother. He spoke out what he had just said amusingly, and said in a joking yet serious tone: "You'd better talk to him more, don't let someone take advantage of you in the future."
The love between the two treasures."
When the child grows up, there is no guarantee that the people surrounding him will not instigate the master for their own benefit!
Shen Fei understood, and after thinking for a moment, he said: "I will pay attention in the future, how many days do you take a break from bathing? How did I know that you took a break from bathing every day?"
Su Yi glanced at him! Nonsense. He is just an errand in the palace. Of course he sees her every day. There is so much nonsense! He still looks like an idiot! But the child this guy gave birth to is beautiful, and it really makes people like him.
Eunuch Gu came in a hurry and said before he could take a breath: "Your Majesty, Mr. Su is looking for you."
Su Yi looked at his son blankly and said, "I am not feeling well today. Please let him go home."
"yes."
Yan Le chuckled when he heard this. His second father was so kind. He promised to play with him for a day. In another month, Sister Liu will visit him. Sister Liu will definitely bring him a lot of things. Then he will also share some with his brother. .
Yanle was thinking optimistically when suddenly Yanle screamed: "Dad! You stepped on the baby's bucket! Wow! - Wow! - It's broken! - Wow! -"
In an instant, Su Yi and Shen Fei were in a panic.
Su Yi finally understood that "the bucket is broken" and "my brother is pitiful" are the same treatment...
On the outskirts of Shengdu, there are mountains overlapping each other, endless greenery as far as the eye can see, and the warm spring breeze blows the distant city flag, looming.
Su Shuiqu and his party are getting closer and closer to Shengdu, and they are returning after a farewell. They can't help but feel timid about being close to home. Thinking of the newly completed Fuze Land, a reserved person like Su Shuiqu can't help but be secretly excited. The two river valleys are his first time. This feat is the pride of the Yan Kingdom that the emperor has completed, and perhaps his future achievements will never be surpassed.
In this industry, Su Shuiqu felt that he had reached the top. In the next three years, he wanted to travel all over Yan Country and write a water conservancy work belonging to Yan Country.
The simple carriages and horses exited the mountain road and entered the wide official road. The road that was only one-way when they left has now been expanded to two lanes. There are many pavilions on both sides of the road like a market. There is a car parked on the dedicated bus line. After a while, the bell rang, and the car was already on the road, taking away the pedestrians gathered there.
Su Shuiqu got off the carriage and was proud of the prosperous market in front of him. He would never regret walking out of Heji with her and coming here!
The carriages and horses quickly arrived at the city gate. The sentry checked his waistband and bowed respectfully to Su Shuiqu, intending to personally escort the master water channel master.
Su Shuiqu declined politely. Needless to say that he had not seen the changes in Shengdu for a year, he believed that a big country like Tianwei would not be more prosperous than Yan Kingdom.
Su Shuiqu did not go home or enter the palace. After sending everyone home, he asked his servants to drive the carriage to the Hubu Yamen.
Sun Qingmu was discussing with Ren Que which city the crops approved by the Eagle Kingdom should be distributed to. When Su Shui Supervisor asked for an audience, he immediately had a bad feeling: "Go back and think about it, we will discuss it tomorrow."
Ren Ku stepped back knowingly, and when he walked outside the door, he took one more look at Yanguo's famous waterway master and saluted him respectfully.
Su Shuiqu had become accustomed to his identity and nodded slightly, not very enthusiastically. In his current position, being too humble would bring disaster.
"Su Shuijian, the assistant minister invites you to come in."
Su Shuijian's rush to find Sun Qingmu was indeed something wrong. When he got the money in his hand, he felt something was wrong. Everyone thought that he had not returned to the palace for several years and had little contact with the emperor. In fact, this was not the case. The emperor would write every holiday The letter was filled with trivial matters written by the emperor on a daily basis. It happened to contain a proud tone from someone who had raised money for him.
Su Shuiqu took out seven taels of silver that he had received from local officials in Lianghe last year, and then handed the taels of silver from the emperor's letter to Sun Qingmu, and asked uncertainly: "Sir, what did the emperor say wrong?"
Sun Qingmu's face was already ugly. There was a difference of seven million taels! Isn't that a lot! In fact, it was not much. Tens of billions of silver were sent from the Ministry of Household Affairs to the Land of Two Rivers. When it was actually used, it turned out that it was only seven million taels short. It was almost
Not worth mentioning.
But! Sun Qingmu personally gave the silver tael to Su Shuiqu. If the difference was a few hundred thousand taels, it was really not a big deal. But when Sun Qingmu took it personally and the difference was seven million taels, we had to consider what someone wanted to test.
Maybe some people feel that the country has been peaceful and the people have been peaceful for a long time, and they want to test how deep the water is. Or look at the attitude of central officials and see if they can use their connections and money to exploit loopholes. Or even more, they want to open up the relationship between him and Zi Che Shi.
There is a gap between them so that this Chao Gang can be assigned!
"That's unreasonable!" Sun Qingmu slammed two pieces of paper with numbers and official silver stamped on the table!
Seeing Sun Qingmu's anger, Su Shuiqu couldn't help but feel a little thump in his heart. Subconsciously, he still respected Sun Qingmu.
Su Shuiqu saw that the conversation had been brought, and what was left was an internal issue within the Ministry of Revenue. It was not convenient for him to get involved, so he stood up and said, "Xiaoguan has just returned to Shengdu and has not yet visited his mother. If Mr. Sun has no instructions, I want to go ahead."
Resign."
When Sun Qingmu heard this, he quickly recovered his emotions and looked at him. He was stronger. Although he did not have the nobility of the Shengdu clan, he had an air of his own.
Sun Qingmu stepped forward cordially: "Don't worry, it's getting late and I have to go to the office. Why don't you and I go back to the palace to meet the emperor? The emperor mentioned you yesterday and said that you must praise you for your great achievements this time!"
Let’s go! The Emperor wants to see you very much!”
Su Shuiqu tactfully avoided Sun Qingmu's hand and said apologetically: "My lord, you are polite. I have accepted the order and will go to the palace to meet the saint tomorrow. It is inconvenient to disturb you now."
"You and I are a family. Does the emperor need a handwriting when he sees you? I haven't seen the emperor for two years. You don't want to think about it. The emperor also wants to know that you have lived in my courtyard before. I have never treated you as an outsider. Today I invite you
Entering the palace can be regarded as our previous friendship, will Su Shuiyuan not appreciate it?"
Su Shuiqu was a little embarrassed when he heard this. He lowered his head and said in a thin and firm voice: "Sir, it's not that I don't know good and bad. I said that not joining the palace has nothing to do with anything else. If you don't join, you just don't join. It's not to raise your own status, so I don't want to find someone for the emperor.
If you are in trouble, sir, please don’t let the water channel embarrass you again.”
Sun Qingmu heard this and looked at him for a while, feeling something vaguely floating in his heart. Looking at Shuiqu's persistence, he couldn't help but think of another person who was actively working on the camp. He also had profound grace and the person in front of him was indeed worthy of her sacrifice.
When we lived together, we didn't just watch him pack his things and leave the palace in a hurry, as if the emperor was a poisonous snake and a beast that would eat him.
Sun Qingmu was truly relieved: "Okay, the emperor and I will wait for you in the study room tomorrow."
Su Shuiqu breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you, Master Sun, and I will take my leave!"
Sun Qingmu watched him leave, and couldn't help but admire his determination. Thinking that his subordinates actually did such a dirty thing in front of him, and bothered him to deliver it in person, Sun Qingmu felt furious! Damn it! No matter it was
Who! He will make the person with longer hands pay the price!
It took less than a cup of tea for Su Shuiqu to come out of the household department. He got directly into the carriage and left immediately. He had no other intention of conveying his doubts. He just felt that the emperor told her without asking about court affairs, and she also
It would be difficult for him to hand it over to Mr. Sun. He didn't want to cause trouble to the people who had taken good care of him in the past.
After Su Shuiqu left, the figure on the wall in the corner of the Yamen quickly disappeared!
In the majestic mansion, a middle-aged man wearing a black and blue robe suddenly put down the tea bowl in his hand. The wrinkled skin on his hand seemed to be sticking to it and was no longer plump. His voice was dull and slightly panicked: "You said
He went directly to the Ministry of Finance!"
"Yes, sir." The voice of the person who replied was calm.
"Hubu, Hubu..." The middle-aged man chewed this sentence over and over again, trying to convince himself that if their plan went wrong, they only took a part of each batch of silver and would not be discovered. Maybe Su Shuiqu would go to Hubu.
The department has private matters? Don't be suspicious and mess up your position! But what if! What if...he will be dead by then! But that person may not be fine!
A wrinkled face, a pampered face suddenly flashed with murderous intent! He must not sit still and wait for death in this matter! The Li family has been glorious for many years and cannot be ruined in his generation. Thinking of the last time Ouyang Niyu was ordered by the emperor to serve from Li
When the gold was taken away from his family, he became depressed!
At that time, his son only teased Sun Qingmu and Miss Xin a few words, but why didn't Sun Qingmu get impeached? Instead, they sued the emperor to the emperor first. How could the Li family be able to swallow this!
The middle-aged man's gloomy voice sounded: "Go and call the young master, we have something urgent to discuss!"
"yes!"
The middle-aged man stood in front with his hands behind his hands. The gloom in his eyes became heavier and heavier. "Su Shuiqu, if you don't do it for yourself, you will be destroyed by heaven and earth. Don't blame me for being cruel!"
…
The bright moonlight stirred up the crows perched on the dark branches, making noisy noises. The sound of leaking came from far away, the windlass turned sharply, and the people rushing home quickened their pace.
The twilight of spring was still very early, and the door of the Academy of Sciences was locked at this time. Zhou Tian and Zi Cheyexue had just come out of it. The cold wind blew by, but it had no effect on the two of them. It was just Zhou Tian's habit.
He shrank his head into his clothes and said, "It's too late again! Damn it!" I promised my son to go back early today, but it's terrible!
The two of them walked out of the alley and onto the avenue. It was not convenient for her to take a car. The bus did not stop near the palace. She looked at the bus and said, "Are you taking a car? I will buy some food for the children and take the car."
Zi Che Yexue hurriedly told her to leave quickly. His mother would be unhappy again if she came back so late. She really didn’t understand why her mother thought he would have anything to do with women with such a moral integrity. Nowadays, there are fewer and fewer women: "Let my mother
It would be miserable for people to see you standing with you at such a late hour."
Zi Cheyexue looked around carefully. He got a black hood from somewhere and put it on his head in an instant. His wood-colored clothes were immediately dyed black. He carefully observed his surroundings as if he were a thief.
, quickly disappeared about five meters away from the sky.
Zhou Tiangang wanted to ask him if he was going to eat, but how could he see anyone: "If I die, it's obviously my fault." I don't know what the aunt I have never met thinks.
I bought some snacks and went back to the palace on Sunday.
Outside the newly completed imperial hall of the palace, a small figure was waiting stubbornly. The eunuch who was accompanying him came over to change his master's clothes. However, the master casually left him on the ground, with an angry little face and a willful temper. However, seeing him
The person couldn't help but feel pity: "Smelly father! You haven't come back yet! I won't like you anymore!" He said angrily and threw his cloak to the ground and stomped on it hard.
Zi Cheshi stood at the gate of the palace and looked at the villain who was losing his temper in front of the white jade imperial palace. Then he looked at the people playing chess under the tree in the courtyard and reminded: "Shen Fei, you should take care of the waiter.
His temper is becoming increasingly unpopular with the Emperor."
Shen Fei dropped a piece: "Really?" Without raising his head, "What did he do? Did he beat the servant or trample on someone's dignity? Su Yi, the piece can't fall there." How could Sun Qingmu not see through what they were trying to set? trap.
Sun Qingmu accidentally dropped a piece while looking at the book at hand. The two people opposite him were discussing passionately. Seeing that they almost started fighting over the missing piece, he hurriedly said: "I'll make you regret it." Really, you are so childish for such an adult. .
Su Yi was overjoyed and quickly put away the missing piece and discussed its location with Shen Fei again.
Zi Cheshi stood by the door, looking thoughtfully at Lele who was walking sullenly on the jade road. He really didn't realize that Lele had the problem Shen Fei said: "Then you just ignore him?"
Shen Fei carefully gave up his son, and did not forget to answer Zi Cheshi's words: "I don't care about him, he can grow up so big, don't worry, I remember to let him not make the mistakes that his father hates."
When Zi Cheshi heard this, the corner of his mouth moved stiffly, and he had to obey Shen Fei's education model. In fact, he felt that Shen Fei wanted his son to do whatever he wanted, and he didn't mind if he grew crooked. It was just because of the emperor's face that he reluctantly restrained him.
Zi Cheshi didn't understand why Shen Fei was like this, but he just felt that if it were his own child, he probably wouldn't indulge him like this. He has not had a mother to discipline him since he was a child. If he had a child, he would teach him patiently every day to prevent him from missing out. You should sigh every time you see something new, and you won't be afraid to take a step when you see something you are afraid of.
Suddenly Lele cheered, Zi Cheshi smiled and looked along Lele's waving arms, a light was coming, and the sedan was getting closer and closer.
Lele spread her short legs and rushed forward excitedly, but bang! She fell down.
Before the frightened eunuchs could help him up, he jumped up from the ground and rushed towards the emperor: "Father! Father!"
Eunuch Lu quickly caught the little ancestor and said, "Your Highness, please slow down and let me see if the fall hurts."
Yanle didn't have time to show Eunuch Lu, so he stretched out his fat little arms for his father to hold him. He had already forgotten about the emperor letting his pigeons go.
Zhou Tian lovingly carried him into the sedan chair and said, "Little one, you're still up so late. My father has bought you some good things. Look." Zhou Tian handed over the small toys and food he bought to the child, and in exchange for An expected exclamation.
Luan Jia just stopped.
Zhou Tian saw the man standing by the door facing the wind. Although his figure seemed weak, he had a proud character that could not be bent by the wind and snow. Zhou Tian put a slight smile on his lips and gave the child to Eunuch Lu: "Not yet. Go to sleep." She got out of the car and gently let him hold her in his arms.
Sun Qingmu, Su Yi, and Shen Fei also put down their chess pieces and came out. Seeing her wearing the usual clothes she wore when she went out at noon, after saying hello, they couldn't help but talk about how the emperor didn't keep his promise every time. He was busy until late every day. It’s time to be willful and rest outside. What a big deal this is and not advisable!
Zhou Tian quickly surrendered: "It's just something that delayed me. I won't do it next time." When Zhou Tian saw his youngest son grabbing the sticky ball and licking it cherishedly, he couldn't help but feel cold, and couldn't help but pinch his little ears and remind him: "You You can't be angry, it's like your father has wronged you."
Yanle didn't complain about the pain, and licked it with big mouthfuls, reluctant to eat it. Suddenly something came to his mind, his eyes brightened: "I want to give it to my brother to try!"
Shen Fei quickly stopped him with quick eyes and hands: "Don't run, you think your brother is you! Your Highness has gone to bed early and will go tomorrow! Ask Nurse Kang to help you put away the food and eat with your brother tomorrow." "
Shen Fei sent Yan Le away.
Several people gathered around the emperor and entered the inner hall.
What you see in the Imperial Palace with different styles are all rare treasures, flaunting your own uniqueness, but you also feel that it should be like this. The Imperial Palace is incompatible with the layout of the entire palace. It is like an enlarged target, openly telling the story. The location and commanding heights of the Imperial Palace even have a sculpture of a coiled dragon looking at the moon, what an arrogant style.
But when I think of its designer, I feel relieved.
Zi Cheshi had already gone to prepare the meal, and Shen Fei took over the task from the palace maid and washed the emperor who had just returned to the palace.
Su Yi went to get clothes.
Sun Qingmu watched them busy and told the emperor about meeting Su Shuiqu today: "He is becoming more and more energetic. Now his charming charm has fascinated many ladies in Shengdu."
When Su Yi got his clothes and heard this, he glanced at Sun Qingmu when he passed by him, and whispered: "Why are you mentioning him? Your brain is getting worse and worse." Then he smiled brightly at the emperor and walked over to help him. While changing clothes, he did not forget to express his secret glance: "Master Su is a great hero of the Yan Kingdom, no one can compare with him."
Zhou Tian patted his hand that was touching randomly and said, "Don't be upset, you are also a hero!" A sincere smile appeared on his face: "He! Just take a look, after eating the marrow and knowing its taste, he will definitely run out often!"
Zi Che Shibu finished the meal and came over: "I don't want to think of ways to get money again! Your Majesty, it's better to keep him by your side quickly! All the money you saved will be lost!"
Zhou Tian was in a good mood and laughed: "Su Aiqing's character will definitely bring back a hundred times the benefits if it is all gone! Su Yi! Watch your hands!"
"What did I do?"
…
The next morning, Zhou Tian highly praised the achievements of Su Shuiqu and others at the bottom of the two river valleys. This historic feat made Zhou Tian very happy. From then on, the millennium worries of the land of the two rivers were relieved, and the worries of tens of millions of people along the rivers were relieved. Worry, except for the great hidden danger of the imperial court.
Zhou Tian was in a very good mood: "Su Shui Supervisor is indeed very familiar with water conservancy and is extremely ingenious. He can be called the number one craftsman in our Yan Kingdom. This time he supervised the construction of the two river valleys and solved the thousand-year worries of our Yan Kingdom's land." , ancient people! I have specially promoted you to be the 'Da Sikong' responsible for coordinating the maintenance and pruning of major waterways across the country!"
Da Sikong is the highest official position in Shuidao, the first rank, second only to the Prime Minister. But now that the Prime Minister is getting older and less involved in political affairs, it is already a huge reward.
Su Shuiqu fearfully wanted to refuse.
Three cheers of long live were heard from the surrounding people, and they all praised Su Sikong for his greatness and strategizing.
Hearing Zhou Tianyu Yourong Yan, Su Shuiqu felt ashamed. He was somewhat knowledgeable, but when it came to his achievements on the waterway, Su Shuiqu felt that he still needed to learn from his predecessor, Xu Zhidai, who had retired to seclusion. But looking at the emperor's proud look now, I'm afraid she doesn't want to let go of the position of 'Da Sikong'.
Su Shuiqu sighed, straightened his clothes, and went out to kowtow: "I thank the emperor for your cultivation. I will definitely fulfill my mission, protect the river canal, and stabilize the world."
"Long live my emperor! Long live!"
After the court was over, Zhou Tian left with Su Shuiqu without stopping his smile, followed by a smiling Sun Qingmu. The two kept talking about the customs of the Land of Two Rivers. Zhou Tian couldn't help but yearn for it: "If I weren't sitting in this position, , I really want to go with you to witness the magnificence of a big wave changing its current."
Su Shuiqu lowered his head, abiding by his duties as a minister and did not raise his head to look at her. His voice was familiar with respect, and the lovesickness in his tone was not obvious: "The emperor is joking. Without the emperor strategizing, how can any minister act with peace of mind? Between the two rivers, The Earth Emperor is the one who deserves most of the credit."
Zhou Tian quickly waved his hands: "You and I are still polite. I have a few brushes on the river. I know in my heart that Su Aiqing is the hero, Eunuch Lu! Pass the order, there is no one in the study today, I want to have three drinks with Su Aiqing
.”
"Yes, Your Majesty." Eunuch Lu looked at Su Shuiqu with a kind smile. There were hundreds of meanings in his eyes, it was up to him to see if he could understand.
Sun Qingmu regarded himself as a companion. Hearing the emperor's words, he couldn't help but smile and shake his head. She was becoming more and more unruly. In front of Su Shuiqu, who had just returned to Shengdu, could she let her boldness go without fear of scaring Su?
Sir: "The emperor has been preparing it for you for a long time. Last time the war king came, he didn't even bother to take it out to entertain you."
Su Shuiqu was so frightened that in the end he had no choice but to bow his hands in embarrassment under the emperor's glare: "Thank you for your grace. It's just that I am too drunk..."
"It's okay, I win! I won't stop until I get drunk."
Sun Qingmu looked at the emperor and shook his head even more. Alas, the "medicine" can save him. Then he looked at Su Shuiqu, who was smiling at the toes of the emperor's shoes with a gentle face. Sun Qingmu could only say that all things are in the eye of the beholder.
Sun Qingmu couldn't help but blush when he thought of the emperor's gentleness last night, but was immediately interrupted by another incident. Who was involved in that incident!
…
Su Shuiqu's success made many people unable to sit still. The emperor summoned him when he had nothing to do. In addition to the rumored relationship between them, what if Su Shuiqu accidentally revealed the silver coins that passed through his hands while gossiping.
Mr. Li is becoming more and more restless. The Li family has a close relationship with the Su family where Concubine Su lives. Most of the official positions in the Su family were served by the Li family. The Li family is a veteran of its own faction among the major families in Shengdu. In the past few years,
Because Mr. Su was favored, his power reached the point where he could cover the sky with one hand.
In recent years, due to the relationship with the emperor, the Li family has been restricted. Especially after the tea house and the group came together, the Li family's business was suppressed and the business was not as good as before, so he took the risk as usual. He often teamed up with Su Yongzhong to do these businesses in the past.
It was rare that he participated in it.
It's just... Mr. Li is not stupid. If this matter is exposed, Su Yongzhong will definitely be able to escape with the protection of Concubine Su, and the Li family will be doomed. The emperor has been cracking down on corruption for five years, and they have not taken action for a long time. They used to fight lightly
It was a small incident, but before it was reported, Su Yongzhong suppressed it!
But this time it's different. Su Shuiqu is a close minister and has recently been promoted to Great Sikong. If he has any doubts, he might face the Holy Spirit directly. Then the Li family will be very passive!
Li Shang came back from outside smelling of alcohol. His face, intoxicated with wine and sex, looked weak and pale. His aura of powder and makeup could be heard from ten meters away. He drove his attendants swaying.
He walked towards the study room. Why didn't he meet that annoying little girl? He had given so many benefits to Zi Cheshi but he didn't find out where Miss Zhou was.
If it weren't for his Li family, it would be better to send him to Xia Villa. He would definitely ask him why he didn't take the eldest son of the Li family seriously!
Mr. Li suddenly opened the door, and unexpectedly saw his son smelling of alcohol. He was not angry, but pulled him in: "How did things go?"
Li Shang's mouth was sarcastic, and his slightly narrowed eyes contained a hint of sophistication: "The arrangements have been made! Don't you worry about my son's work?"
Of course Mr. Li can rest assured. Su Shuiqu is the Water Supervisor. Even if he serves as the Chief Sikong, he will do everything he can to ensure his safety. When the time comes...
The spring rain moistens everything, and the pattering of light rain interweaves between the sky and the earth, which has a special interest. At first, people were still in the mood to sing and enjoy the misty and rainy Shengdu. The good people even wrote lyrics to praise the good weather.
But after it rained for several days, it became less beautiful. Especially in the evening, there were thunderstorms, and the rain tended to get heavier and heavier.
After dinner, the children looked through the window at the trickling water outside, feeling unhappy with themselves.
The adults came back from the fields wearing raincoats, complained about the heavy rain, and hurriedly took the ginger soup brought by the lady and drank it.
In the early years of Shengdu, Su Canal had an improved drainage system and a strong surrounding dam. Now that Mr. Su is personally in charge, no one in Shengdu will care even if it rains heavily for a month. What’s more, this is nothing compared to the heavy rains in previous years.
Worth mentioning.
From Su Shuiqu's point of view, this "light rain" does not need to worry him. Even if the weather changes strangely and the clouds gather, Shengdu already has a complete system, and he only needs to sit at home and drink tea.
But he didn't like this. After dinner, he sent his mother back to his room, observed the sky as a habit, ordered someone to bring him a bamboo hat, and decided to go for a walk on the streets and rivers!
Su Shuiqu held a hard stick in his hand and waded slowly forward through the water flowing on the street. When he saw the blocked drainage outlet, he went up to dig out it. It had rained continuously for three days, and it was inevitable that things would rush together. He was always responsible.
The people at the Shengdu water crossing have already taken action. He is just passing by and doing what he sees.
He didn't encounter many places along the way from the city to the outside. Looking at the continuous heavy rain, Su Shuiqu was in a rare good mood. He personally took the oil-paper lamp from the long servant's hand and walked towards the waterwheel outside the site that was completed last year.
It was getting very late, there were no people walking on the street, and the rain was pouring down, making people cautious.
Suddenly, a carriage drove quickly through the deepest part of the city gate, splashing huge splashes of water that suddenly extinguished the palace lantern in Su Shuiqu's hand.
The chief servant exclaimed. The surrounding area immediately fell into darkness, with only the faint lights of the city gate visible in the distance.
Su Shuiqu shook his head helplessly, looking at the stopped carriage, he couldn't help but smile: "Teng Xiu, you can't change your 'problems'! These are the clothes I just changed out of today."
Hearing this, Teng Xiu poked his head out from the curtain. His hard-edged and deep facial features were still leisurely and handsome in the dense rainy night: "Who do I think it is? It turns out to be the newly appointed Su Da Sikong! I thought you were great
Sikong has been promoted, but he doesn’t remember how he took this path!”
Su Shuiqu looked at most of the water stains on his body, then looked at the extinguished palace lanterns. He had no choice but to take a few steps forward and got on the carriage: "Forget that no one can forget the path under their feet. Isn't it that I haven't seen you since I came back?"
How could you cause such a big storm?"
The carriage was on the road again. The destination was surprisingly the same road as Su Shuiqu.
Teng Xiu wore an orange-green dress with silver threads. The color was very eye-catching, and it could not be called good-looking. It was worn by people who walked on the waterway at night. He looked at Su Shuiqu's regular clothes with disgust: "
You think you have a long life, and you go out dressed like this. Don't you think you have a mistress that is known to the world, and you think she can't easily fish you out of the water conservancy."
Su Shuiqu found a piece of cloth and wiped the water stains on his body: "If you talk erratically, you might be arrested and taken to Dali Temple. I won't rescue you." But he still explained: "I didn't plan to go into the water, I just came to take a look."
Teng Xiu's face looked better after hearing this, and he leaned on the carriage and glanced at him: "That's right, your life is valuable now, so you can't get into the water easily." Then he threw him a glow stick: "Here, you're just making a fool of yourself with a black light. You are not a luminous person."
Su Shuiqu understood that Teng Xiu had good intentions, and this person would always be like this. Shen Fei entrusted Teng Xiu to his care when he originally entrusted him with it. In fact, Teng Xiu is a very adaptable person: "Thank you very much."
The rain is getting heavier and heavier. The majestic rain is falling. The sky and the earth are hazy. The vision is getting closer and closer. Three-quarters of the wheels have been submerged deep in the water. The Shengdu Emergency Office has activated the emergency plan. There are groups of soldiers checking for hidden dangers and people in need of emergency assistance.
On the outskirts of the city, a carriage was mostly submerged in mud and rocks. Water had already entered the carriage. The owner became even more agitated. He suddenly opened the curtain and yelled at the subordinate who was driving the carriage: "Hurry up! Haven't you eaten yet?" The heavy rain purified the sound and it was not obvious under the night.
Teng Xiu, who always had excellent ears, vaguely heard the movement in front of him, opened the curtain, and happened to face Su Yi's noble face as he lifted the curtain of the car and scolded the servants.
Su Yi also caught a glimpse of him and knew that he was probably going to the river to take a look at this time. He continued to scold his people: "You can drive the carriage here on such a wide road. You are getting better and better!"
The rain instantly drowned out Su Yi's next voice. No matter how good his ears were, Teng Xiu couldn't hear it. He couldn't help but sneer: "He's so good that the carriage will be submerged. He has to sit inside and wait for the carriage to come out. I think the carriage couldn't get out just because he was sitting there."
Su Shuiqu finished taking care of herself and twisted the water from her long hair: "Who are you talking about?"
"The traitorous minister!"
When Su Shuiqu heard this, he immediately opened the curtain to see: "What's wrong with him? Why did he come out in such a heavy rain? He was the one who missed the train just now. I'll go and have a look."
Teng Xiu quickly pulled him back: "Worry about who she is, the emperor's favorite concubine. Even that horse is more useful than the two donkeys in your car. Maybe she thinks the scenery outside the city is nice and wants to take it seriously." Enjoy it, don't disturb others." He wasn't lying. The people following Su Yi were all top-notch masters. It was easy to move a carriage, not to mention that the master was sitting in the carriage training people. It was obvious that he was so idle that his brain ached!
Su Shuiqu felt relieved and sat down to take care of his easily tangled hair: "It's so late. Why isn't he in the palace?"
"There's no need to ask, to commit adultery and commit crimes! It must be a shameful thing." Teng Xiu thought of something and suddenly said: "He won't ambush anyone there?!" It doesn't look like it. Who cares? There is a mountain behind the house, so even if we can watch the scenery there until dawn, the rain will not dare to flood the carriage and horses.
Thinking of this, Teng Xiu couldn't help but look at Su Shuiqu, looking at his withered grass-like hair, lackluster skin, and thin and slender figure. At best, he was a romantic figure in the Wei and Jin Dynasties, but at worst, he had no vitality and smelled of poverty!
When Teng Xiu saw Su Shuiqu playing with his hair seriously, he couldn't help but kick him: "I said you didn't have any idea when you saw him. He has a noble status and is pampered. He also came out on a rainy day. What kind of equipment does he have? You No matter how equipped you are, your whole body combined is not as valuable as the stone on his waist."
Su Shuiqu smiled when he heard this and didn't care, and continued to take care of the disobedient hair at hand.
Teng Xiu felt that he could be saved by "medicine", so it would be better for Mu Feiyan to do something.
A new canal that had just been completed in Nancheng arrived quickly. Because there was not much rain during the day, there were not many people stationed on the embankment. I saw a carriage coming in from a distance. I thought it was someone summoned urgently, but I didn't expect it was Lord Teng and Da Sikong.
There was no one in Su Shuiqu, so he bowed down. Looking around, he saw the misty blackness, and nothing could be seen on the river, not even the nearest house. He had no choice but to follow Supervisor Wu into the house.
Su Shuiqu took off his raincoat and did not take the water. He looked at the simple and orange-red room and asked in surprise: "Why is it just you, where are the others?"
Supervisor Wu replied respectfully: "I saw that the rain was too heavy, so I asked them to go on inspection, but we have to call them back."
"No, I'm just here to take a look and I'll be leaving later."
Teng Xiu found a relatively clean place to drink tea. He picked up the new water level data on the table and looked at it. There was no problem overall. He felt relieved and decided to take Su Shuiqu away after drinking the cup of tea!
Lest he go somewhere in the middle of the night and ruin his good intentions!
The rain outside is getting heavier and heavier, showing no signs of weakening. It is falling in the simple house, which is shocking.
As soon as Teng Xiu put down the tea at hand and suggested leaving, he heard someone outside shouting: "It's not good! It's not good!"
Supervisor Wu was shocked when he heard this. He looked at Da Sikong who had the same expression and was stunned. He felt that time had not waited for him. Why did this happen when Sikong arrived?
He rushed out immediately and quickly dragged people in: "What happened? Speak slowly! What can you do in a panic!"
"The new road... there is a gate on the new road... that is shaking in the water. It seems to be broken!"
Supervisor Wu, Su Shuiqu, and Teng Xiu were startled, quickly put down the things at hand, and rushed towards the place the visitor said!
Supervisor Wu was the fastest runner. He staggered forward in the heavy rain without any hesitation. He was sweating in his heart. How could this happen? How could this happen? He checked every day and everything was fine. It shouldn't be like this! How could it be broken? How could it be?
meeting!
It was a small matter that he lost his official position because of this, but downstream there were good seedlings that Emperor Jingzhe had just planted, and there were tens of thousands of acres of fertile farmland. The important thing was that the people downstream were scattered and lived in scattered places, and there were no perfect flood prevention measures. In case... Supervisor Wu
I can’t imagine it! I stepped even faster.
"Sir, please slow down, the road on the embankment is slippery! My lord!——"
Supervisor Wu acted as if he didn't hear it. He wanted to die on the embankment so that he could abate the emperor's anger that he wanted to confiscate his family and exterminate his clan after the disaster!
Teng Xiu protected Su Shuiqu and ran forward.
Several people were wearing bamboo hats, and when they arrived at Xinba out of breath, they were already drowned. Everyone was yelling in the heavy rain, and it was impossible to hear them clearly unless they were yelling.
At this time, they had already forgotten to salute. When three water supervisors saw Mr. Wu coming, they said anxiously: "What should I do, sir? Brother Feng led people down just now, but there is no movement yet!"
Supervisor Wu was dizzy when he heard this. After he regained his senses, he immediately became furious: "Who let him go down? Such a heavy rain surface is very dangerous! What if there is an accident-"
Supervisor Wu discovered that even if there was no accident, those who were unfavorable in protecting them would be held accountable. Supervisor Wu was not afraid of being held accountable, but why was the gate loose?
The fixed objects are also thousands of tons tall. He personally checks them every rainy day. Yesterday afternoon, when he saw that the rain had not stopped, he went down there himself and found that they were fine! If they are loose, they are loose!
Su Shuiqu stood on the river embankment, not far from the dim light, a heavy iron gate was hanging at the gate. The calm water surface in the past became a rushing force due to the convergence of water from all directions, and the waves crashed under the wash of wind and rain.
When you reach the dam, the madness is raging. Your swirling force drives the heavy iron gate, and the tens of thousands of tons of gates are like fragile and rotten branches, teetering on the verge of collapse.
Su Shuiqu saw this and quickly looked for the rope.
Seeing him turning around, Teng Xiu hurriedly followed him. Seeing him finding ropes and tools to get into the river from the person who had just gone down, Teng Xiu quickly grabbed him: "You are crazy! What's the situation now! What's the use of going down? It's windy and rainy.
If you step off with your front foot, you will die with your back foot!"
Su Shuiqu firmly tied the rope around his waist, ignoring the rain that wet his hair that he had managed to straighten, and told him loudly: "Don't worry, I'm participating in the drawing this time, and there is a spare gate inside. I'll go and activate the mechanism.
It can ensure peace downstream!" Su Shuiqu said and was about to go down.
Teng Xiu pulled him, his eyes washed by the rain, and he firmly refused to let go: "I will do it if you want! Give me the things! Tell me where the mechanism is!" As he said this, he went to untie the rope around Su Shuiqu's waist.
Su Shuiqu didn't let him move, and said loudly in his ear: "You can't! I'm the only one familiar with the blueprints. If you ask me to tell you, I can't tell you exactly where it is. I'll have to look for it slowly when I go down. Don't worry, I've been with you since I was a child.
I grew up by the river, and my water nature is very good!"
Teng Xiu was worried and wanted to pull him away.
Su Shuiqu suddenly looked at him, through the layers of rain, his eyes were as firm as stars: "Let go, I have to go! As soon as the gate opened, the river water rushed downstream, which is not a good sign for her!" With that, he broke away from Teng Xiu's hand.
Clamped down, amidst Supervisor Wu's obstruction, he walked down the tooth platform made of boulders that could only be climbed with bare hands.
Teng Xiu watched the thin man disappear in the rain, and the light on the lighthouse could no longer illuminate his trace. He was extremely worried, but he knew better that if he was forcibly brought back, the two would not even be friends in the future.
It had to be done, but he couldn't wait and grabbed Supervisor Wu directly:
"Go find someone quickly! There is a car stuck in the mud on the road two hundred miles ahead. Go tell them that Su Shui Canal is dangerous! Listen, if you don't see anyone! Go directly to the incense-smelling platform! Have someone notify Shen
Concubine!"
When Supervisor Wu heard this, he knew that the matter was of great importance. The rumor that Su Sikong was deeply loved by the emperor seemed to be true. Otherwise, the concubines would not be alarmed. But! He left, and here——
"Go quickly! I used to be the supervisor here! I know this place better than you! It will be later before the emperor really wants your head!"
…
Su Yi felt a rattling noise under his seat, and the carriage finally drove out of the quagmire. Su Yi still glared at everyone angrily before lowering the curtain: "Hurry up and leave!"
Supervisor Wu rode a saddled horse and bumped over quickly. He almost rolled and crawled off the horse, knelt down and shouted loudly: "The people in the car stay behind! Mr. Teng asked me to tell Su Sikong that he is in danger!"
Su Sikong is in danger!"
Su Yi wanted to pretend not to hear, but when Su Yi heard this, he hurriedly stopped his horse!
Before the servant's umbrella could reach over his head, he quickly came to the kneeling man, with a trace of nervousness flashing in his eyes: "What's going on!"
A sound of thunder fell, and Supervisor Wu was slightly shocked when he saw the person in front of him! It was actually him! He couldn't help shrinking for a moment! He was instinctively afraid of him, but thinking of Su Sikong's situation and the danger of the dam, he immediately told what happened just now
Once again: "My lord! My lord! Please save the people of Xiahe! Save Su Sikong!"
Su Yi hurriedly mounted his horse, regardless of the fact that there was no saddle, he reined in his horse and flew away: "What are you doing kneeling down! Get on my carriage and go to the incense-smelling platform to get Concubine Shen's handwriting to the emperor!" Damn Su Shuiqu! It's raining so hard, why don't you take care of yourself? Stay at home and enjoy your happiness, and don’t come out to cause trouble for him! If you have any shortcomings, the emperor will not miss you forever!
Su Yi's horse was running very fast, and three figures quickly followed behind him.
For a moment, the sound of the rushing river water lapping at the river bank was still in my ears. Oil lamps were lit on the river dam in the dark night, but there was no light!
Su Yi got off his horse and saw many people standing by the waterway in Nancheng from a distance. They were shouting something because the dam was still some distance away and they couldn't hear clearly.
I saw Teng Xiu with his trouser legs rolled up and standing at the front of the embankment, trying to pull something. There were many people below pulling on the reins. The water had already reached the knees of those people, but they were still trying to pull something!
Teng Xiu suddenly stumbled and almost fell off the 100-meter-high embankment! He held on tightly to the iron lock next to him to avoid the accident. He was heard shouting to the crowd: "Everyone must fasten the fixed iron lock!"
Su Yi was horrified. He ignored his wet clothes and moved forward quickly. What happened? The water was still far away from the dam. It wasn't a breach! What could have happened? What were they dragging? It couldn't be that the Su Shui Canal fell into the river. Already!?
Su Yi looked at the endlessly flowing river. The turbulent water waves were like a devil that devoured everything. Its teeth were fierce and devoured everyone who came close to it. Su Yi suddenly had a headache! Could it be that Su Shuiqu was too thin and fell in when the wind blew? , then he is really "in the waterway of honor and disgrace, never separated for life." Looking back, Su Yi knows that there must be no accidents in Su Shuiqu.
Su Yi hurried over, wiped the rain off his face and shouted loudly: "What's wrong! Where is Su Shuiqu!"
When Teng Xiu heard Su Yi's voice, he felt as if he were experiencing the sound of nature. For the first time, he felt that the green-faced and fanged jester also had a conscience: "Quick! Have you seen the rope at your feet? Put the shuttle ring on the raised stone pillar of the embankment! "
Su Yi searched for it and caught it effortlessly, but he immediately found that the rope was a certain distance from the stone pillar, so he shouted loudly! "Teng Xiu! It's not long enough! Do you need me to pull harder!" He vaguely felt that he couldn't. Because there are many such ropes next to this raised boulder, with ropes fixed on them, but the difference is that the length of the rope in his hand has been used up, and there are still a lot of others left!
really!
Teng Xiu's voice came: "No! There is a person under each rope! If you pull hard, it will put him in danger! In this way, you have dismantled the iron rods on the dam! Re-nail them!"
Su Yi immediately understood what was going on. The person using the rope was probably unlucky. When the rope came to an end, the fixed bobbin came loose and broke away from the low pillar on the embankment, rushing directly into the raging river. This person seemed to be in danger!
Su Yi hurriedly brought the iron rod, and suddenly filled his palms with strength. He pushed the heavy iron rod one meter deep into the solid embankment, and then fixed the rope! He rescued the person who was holding the rope to prevent it from being washed away by the water!
Teng Xiu and everyone else suddenly felt that there was no pulling force on their hands, and they all climbed out of the water almost exhausted, their legs turned white under the robes.
Su Yi walked directly to Teng Xiu, forgetting to find a place to take shelter from the rain: "What's going on? Is the Su Canal under this rope?"
Teng Xiujue's legs were very heavy! He was exhausted, and the force of the water impact was beyond his imagination. At this time, he could still breathe: "No... it's not... it's another person. He saw that Su Shui Canal had been in the water for a long time, and the rope suddenly stopped moving. , I took another cableway and went down to look for it, but it came loose..."
At this time, some people came over and fixed another rope on the stone pillar to prepare to go into the sea.
Teng Xiu was too lazy to say anything, but he also knew that it was dangerous for people looking for the ditch. If the rope curled up in an instant, he would be washed away by the waves. At this time, there was still a chance of finding him, otherwise...
Teng Xiuzhi told the man to be careful and asked Su Yi to check the safety of the rope without saying anything else.
Su Yi understood what was going on and took the opportunity to check every rope and said, "Why is this one so tight? Whose is it!"
Teng Xiu's face turned pale when he heard this. He looked at the rope for a long time and said almost self-deprecatingly: "Water channel."
Su Yi frowned when he heard this. Sure enough, looking at the raging river at his feet, a bad premonition arose in his heart: "What does this situation mean?"
"It means he is stuck and can't move forward or retreat!" No one on the rope can respond to any hint given to the rope!
People under the embankment were shouting, and a few people climbed up. I don’t know where they are, but on such a rainy day, no matter what I do, it seems to be very dangerous.
Su Yi looked at the heavy rain that continued to rain, and became increasingly anxious. Naturally, he would not be sad because Su Shuiqu's life ended on the river, but that person... He had to worry about Su Shuiqu because of her, and now he was in the river again.
Here, if something happens to him, he will be blamed!
Su Yi looked at the dangerous flashes on the crumbling high platform and suddenly asked: "What's going on?"
Teng Xiu raised his eyes and gave up, saying with a bitter smile: "The culprit! If it was taken away by the river, there would be a swamp downstream! Only Su Shuiqu took the risk!" Damn it, how could it be like this!
"What should I do now!?" He couldn't die! Although he didn't like Su Shuiqu, Su Shuiqu still provoked the emperor when he had nothing to do. He deserved to die! "You have to think of a way! What if you suffocate to death after soaking in the water for a long time!"
"What are you yelling about? If something happens to him, it's me who's worried! I didn't see him trying to think of a solution!"
Su Yi knew he was in a bad mood and didn't say anything. Seeing him sitting in the heavy rain and being doused in water, he ordered someone to find an umbrella to hold him up! Then he walked in and lowered his voice and said, "How about I go down?"
have a look!"
Teng Xiu also calmed down a lot and shook his head: "You don't understand! There are mechanisms inside. No matter how good you are, it's useless to go down. You must have discovered it just when you were about to lower the iron rod. The entire embankment is covered with thirty meters of soil except for the surface.
The bottom is made of metal made of sand, which is solid and indestructible. If you were trapped in it too! The emperor must blame himself and let me think of a solution."
Su Yi nodded when he heard this, and sat on the embankment with Teng Xiu, looking at the motionless rope. Suddenly, he felt that the person he hated in the past was no longer so annoying at this moment. He must have known that it was dangerous when he went down.
When Shen Fei received the secret report, he was taking a bath with his son. The two of them touched the water with their heads together and splashed water everywhere. Shen Fei fixed his son's body with his hands and let him rock left and right in the water happily!
While his son was grabbing the water conservancy toys, Shen Fei took the letter from Eunuch Rong. His face suddenly changed slightly, but when he thought of his son, he immediately returned to normal. He quietly came out of the water, put on his clothes, and called "Nanny"
He came over to take care of it, quietly walked out of the sight of his son who was having fun, and quickly headed towards Chengqian Palace!
In the Chengqian Palace, Zhou Tian was wearing a lavender lining, and he and Zi Cheshi were lying on the imperial concubine's couch, but each had a book in their hands, and they were busy with their own affairs, but the two of them held hands together.
The body rubbing against each other by chance means that the two people are thinking about each other.
"Why was the crown prince's appointment decided so hastily?" Zi Cheshi cut a piece of apple and fed it to the emperor whose eyes fell into the book.
Zhou Tian chewed and turned it over and said casually: "Of course we have to decide, he is not young anymore. The imperial doctor said that my health is okay. I am considering having another child. In order to avoid having too many children competing for that position, of course I have to make sure first. Come down!"
After hearing this, Zi Cheshi stopped cutting the apple and looked at the emperor in surprise.
Zhou Tian quietly moved the book away and smiled at him: "You must be surprised! I knew you would be like this." After saying that, he stood up, pinched his face, pressed into his arms and said, "I'm serious, not to mention how can anyone There is a possibility of twins, but this time I only give birth to one, and nothing will happen." After Zhou Tian finished speaking, he raised his head and said with a charming smile: "What? Do you want to please me and please me! I will give birth to one for you!"
Zi Cheshi was aroused by the meaning of her words. He wished he could grab her and put her on his heart, but the last time he gave birth left him with lingering fear. Besides, it was not his turn: "How did you——"
A voice suddenly came from outside: "Concubine Shen, will you please..."
Zi Cheshi, before Zhou Tian could leave after hearing this, Shen Fei had already rushed in: "Your Majesty! It's not good! There is a danger of flooding in the new embankment in Nancheng!"
Zi Cheshi quickly went to cover up his single clothes.
Shen Fei glanced at him: "Don't do this, it's not like I haven't seen it before, Your Majesty! What should I do!" He didn't know that the Su Shui Canal was flooded. The man didn't report it, he just said that the dam was dangerous!
After hearing this, Zhou Tian hurriedly ordered people to change clothes. She participated in the construction of the new embankment in Nancheng. Because Su Shuiqu was not here, she had personally supervised the construction. I dare not say that the stone in the dam is hard, but it will never be washed away by this little rain. A: "Why did you report to your place? Where is Su Shuiqu?"
Shen Fei hurriedly helped the emperor change his clothes: "I don't know! Teng Xiu asked someone to report it!"
Zhou Tian's gesture of opening his arms to acknowledge someone suddenly stiffened, and he lowered his arms suddenly: "What did you say! Teng Xiu sent it!" Su Shuiqu is in danger! He sent Teng Xiu to Shuiqu to protect him and comfort him. No one knows. If he comes to report, there must be something wrong with the water channel!
Zhou Tian thought about Su Shuiqu's character! Then he thought about the dam and the heavy rain outside! He felt that Su Shuiqu must have done something on his own will! The latter Su Shuiqu was already in danger!
Thinking of this, Zhou Tian quickly put on his clothes and started to leave. Suddenly he thought of Zi Cheshi and said, "I'll be back as soon as I go."
Zi Cheshi was so stupid that he believed that she would just go back. Seeing Zhou Tian rushing into the rain like this, he hurriedly got up, picked up some clothes and chased out: "Wait! Your Majesty! You are not wearing a raincoat!"
When Eunuch Lu saw this, he had no time to prepare and quickly followed the emperor away.
Shen Fei looked at the Chengqian Palace that suddenly lost its master. He was the only one standing there, holding the crown that he wanted to tie on the emperor's head. He suddenly said to himself: "What do you mean? It's just me. No love?"
Shen Fei smiled bitterly. It was too late anyway, so he still ordered Eunuch Li to prepare some ginger soup before leaving: "Why are you just standing there stupidly? The master has left and you haven't cleaned up the room yet!"
…
When Zhou Tian led people to the Nanhe River, the river embankment was already in chaos! A section of the bridge downstream of the river embankment collapsed, trapping several newly arrived sailors.
The emergency personnel in Shengdu have also arrived and are organizing rescue operations in the water. Some people have escaped, but there are also new people trapped. The water is getting stronger and stronger, the rain is getting heavier and heavier, and the sky is pitch black.
Teng Xiu shouted on the embankment: "Those who don't understand the nature of water are not allowed to enter the water! Do you hear me? You are not allowed to enter the water blindly! Even with a rope!"
At this moment, the tight rope was suddenly cut by a sharp weapon washed down from the water. Suddenly, Teng Xiu and Su Yi, who were making arrangements, were startled at the same time and rushed towards the broken rope instantly!
I don’t know who called Mr. Su!
Zhou Tian found the target and rushed forward quickly: "What's going on! What are you doing! The river embankment is fine! Where is Su Shuiqu, Su——"
Su Yi instantly looked at the emperor. Seeing him, the chaotic thoughts in his heart finally found support: "Your Majesty, what happened was not the dam, but the gate! Mr. Su——" Su Yi said what he knew, and thought
Pulling Teng Xiu to confirm with the emperor again, seeing that Teng Xiu was about to go into the water as if he had lost his soul, Su Yi hurriedly pulled him up: "You are crazy! Your injuries have not healed yet!"
Teng Xiu struggled hard, but the heavy rain could not hide his roar: "Let me go! Let me go! The ditch is down there! He is down there!"
When Zhou Tian heard this, he immediately opened the pre-arranged umbrella for Eunuch Lu, flew down the river, and was about to save Su Shuiqu.
For the first time, Eunuch Lu caught her one step faster than the Emperor, with a look of silence on his face: "Your Majesty! The dragon body is important!"
Everyone was anxiously preparing for rescue. When they heard the movement and looked this way, they were so shocked that they immediately knelt down: "My emperor——"
"Everyone get up! Do what you have to do! Pull out all the people who went into the water quickly! Without Supervisor Wu's order, no one can go into the water easily!" The person who spoke was Zi Cheshi who dared to come over. After sending everyone away, Zi Che
I saw Eunuch Lu catching the emperor and arguing about something! Suddenly the emperor broke away from his father-in-law and went to tie the rope!
Eunuch Lu's face was solemn, and he did not allow anyone to tie the lifeline to the emperor: "Your Majesty! The water is dangerous. You cannot fall into the trap alone. If you go, you will be a slave!"
Zi Cheshi suddenly took action and knocked out Teng Xiu who was struggling with Su Yi, and ordered others to let him rest.
Zhou Tian was getting more and more anxious! Looking at the surging water, he was so anxious that he couldn't fasten the life rope around his waist. At this moment, his mind was thinking about Su Shuiqu, which he never fought for and never caused trouble to himself. He followed her all the way to the
A man from Shengdu, not to mention she had a past with Shuiqu and even saved her.
But what had she done for him! She had enjoyed his achievements, his loyalty, and occasionally his tenderness, and now her life and death were hanging in the balance for this damn Shengdu! How could she sit idly by and ignore him!
Zhou Tian wiped the rain off his face and said, "Get out of the way!" He put on the rope himself, took a deep breath, calmly fastened the safety buckle, and jumped down. How could she let something happen to Su Shuiqu? She hadn't done it yet.
Grant him the title. He has just become Sikong. He said he would surpass Yixue in strength and become the master craftsman of the Yan Kingdom, but he hasn't done it yet! There can't be an accident! He shouldn't die here!
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!" Eunuch Lu shouted eagerly. He wanted to grab the rope to prevent the Emperor from succeeding. Suddenly he felt pain in his shoulder. He let go of his hand with tears streaming down his face and shouted heartbreakingly: "Your Majesty.
"
Zi Cheshi stood behind Eunuch Lu and watched her disappear on the river. Just now she was clamoring to have an heir, but now she is so agitated by the river that she will have to raise him for another year! "It's useless, just let her go if she wants to."
Go, your Majesty will be fine."
Eunuch Lu was crying so hard that he was out of breath. To put it lightly, he didn’t watch the emperor grow up! He wasn’t his pet peeve! Of course he didn’t feel bad! Eunuch Lu felt so guilty that he didn’t look up. It’s not that he didn’t understand their treatment of the emperor.
Love doesn't mean relying on one's old age, but it means feeling sorry for the emperor! That's why I lost my temper!
Of course, Zi Cheshi wouldn't mind. Looking at the waterline that suddenly swallowed her up, he suddenly couldn't express what he felt in his heart. Are you moved? Are you envious? Do you hate her reluctant love for Su Shuiqu at this moment? Maybe he had it before, Now I feel that it's just mediocre. At the beginning, he gave up staying together for a moment and chose to be together forever.
He can see the emperor every day, touch her, feel her smile and care, why should he admire what others have at this moment!
Su Yi came over, looked at the dark water, and couldn't help but said: "It's really unpleasant!"
There were more and more people on the river bank! In an instant, all the rescuers gathered here. All the people who knew how to swim had a rain lantern in hand and put on lifelines, ready to follow the command and rescue the emperor.
The rescue team descended into the river one after another. The water lanterns on the turbulent river instantly lit up. Hundreds of water lanterns were lowered one after another, illuminating the surging river water. However, they were instantly wiped out by the rising waves. After a while, nothing could be seen, and the torches were wetted by the heavy rain, making rescue very difficult. Even so, water lanterns were still put into the water, trying to point the stars to the people underwater.
Sun Qingmu and Shen Fei also rushed over, only to see a panic on the river embankment. The water level did not even reach the boundary point. They only saw people falling into the water in a panic.
Sun Qingmu hurried back: "What's wrong? Where is the emperor?"
Zi Cheshi looked at the turbulent river, told the emperor where he was going, and what happened, and said: "Don't worry, the emperor is very familiar with the mechanism here, and he will be able to come up in a while." I don't know what he meant by this sentence. Tell yourself or something!
Sun Qingmu frowned and suddenly saw everyone looking worriedly at the river. He hurriedly calmed down his emotions and told the people on the river bank not to panic, not to just focus on the emperor, and to organize the search for other missing persons and settle them. After everything was done, he came over and said: "Why is there something wrong with the gate? There will never be such mistakes in the affairs handled by the emperor and the water canal!"
"Where is the Emperor? How long have you been down there!"
Suddenly, several people fell silent for an instant.
As time passed, the huge waves on the water surface rose several meters high, and the current became more and more rapid.
Eunuch Lu wished he could jump down to look for the prince: "What are you doing to eat! Look for it! Look for it quickly! I can't find it! You will all be buried with me!" As he spoke, he anxiously faced the rushing river, remembering to turn around and pray that his master would bring harm to his family forever. 'Bah! It lasts forever! "Concubine Shen, why don't you go down and have a look!" He can't swim!
"good!"
Zi Cheshi stopped him: "No one is allowed to move! There are many dangers here! You are very likely to step on the wrong mechanism! The dam will be destroyed! Then the big trouble will be!"
"Then what should we do! Are we all watching!? We shouldn't have let the emperor go down just now!" Shen Fei was also a little anxious.
Sun Qingmu saw that the faces of Zi Cheshi and others were wrong, so he told him to stop talking: "You don't know the emperor's character yet, who can stop him from doing what he believes in! Wait! The emperor is familiar with water nature. , and is very familiar with this place, we should trust him!"
Zhou Tian soaked in the cold water and passed under the loose knife. Because the rope was in the way, he untied himself and swam to the strongest point of the current.
The waves on the surface were monstrous, and it was even more dangerous underwater. Zhou Tian crossed the rapids, latched onto a chain on the embankment under the river, and spent time pounding the stones on the embankment, waiting anxiously for a response.
Su Shuiqu and others have been trapped here for an hour. This is a small gap in the Tower Bridge, and it is also the only place to swim to the gate on the left.
The entrance of the small underground stone bridge is arched. Due to the balancing effect of hydraulic power, a space is formed deep in the river. People can stop here to expose their heads and breathe. Because of the emperor's original secret tunnel theory, there is a small hole here.
Towards the mountains, there is a thin air entering!
But now there are seven or eight people hiding here, no air is available, and some people are already suffering from suffocation.
The first group of people who came down saw this and said anxiously: "Sir, if we continue like this, we will die here. Leave us alone! This place is originally used to save noble people!"
Su Shuiqu already felt it was difficult to breathe, and the rope on his body had already been broken. He untied it and tied it to a few sailors to prevent them from getting separated: "No, just... hold on... maybe... maybe the rescuers have arrived!
"
"Sir...it's raining so hard and no one cares about us...Sir! Let us go!" The speaker's face was pale: "Sir, we are not worthy of you..."
"What are you talking about... I am also 'lost' now and can't get out. The water outside is so strong that I will die if I go out... Even if I die, it will be warm to die together..."
Everyone stopped talking when they heard this, conserving their only physical strength and praying to live longer. Maybe a miracle would happen and someone would save them!
In the dark night, there was no way to swim out. At first, they sent people to identify the direction. They found that the water was getting stronger and stronger, and they would be swept away by the whirlpool if they could not swim. A few people were silent, knowing better than anyone else.
, maybe this is their last warmth.
At first, Su Shuiqu would fumble around to see if there was any secret passage, but he gave up after realizing that he was too ridiculous. He just felt a little reluctant to leave her so easily. If he had known this, he would have spent time with her.
It would be nice to look at her more often when drinking.
——Bang! Bang! Bang bang! Bang! Bang! Bang bang!——
Su Shuiqu leaned against Shibi and vaguely heard regular noises coming from the stone wall, and his eyes suddenly filled with light.
Others who were leaning against the stone bridge also heard it, and they all excitedly clapped their palms to reverberate, but found in vain that their strength was so weak that they couldn't hit the desired frequency at all, and even no sound could be heard. They couldn't help but burst into tears.
When rescue is right in front of you and you miss it, you feel deeply unwilling.
"I still have children at home! I still have children..."
I don't know who cried first, and then burst into tears.
Su Shuiqu couldn't help but think of his mother. He was sorry for her, and if there was an afterlife, he would still be her son to pay her back. Su Shuiqu lay on the stone wall, and the sound of knocking came far and near. He knew it must be someone trying to find someone.
, after this result, the searching people will give up and swim elsewhere.
The sound of knocking became farther and farther, and the unwilling man began to bang his head against the wall, but the sound of knocking still came closer, and it was obvious that the sound had not spread.
Su Shuiqu's lips gradually turned white due to lack of oxygen. He was just about to persuade the man to give up when he suddenly felt something burping in his chest. He suddenly remembered the amulet the emperor had given them a long time ago, but wasn't it a piece of paper?
Su Shuiqu loosened the rope in his hand and hurriedly took out the bag of the amulet. Opening the bag for the first time, there was a piece of transparent stone as thin as paper. Su Shuiqu looked at everyone excitedly: "We are saved! We are saved.
!”
He knew this kind of stone. It was an ore that could refract weak sunlight and was very hard. It could be used to hit stone walls. It could also reflect any light on the water to facilitate rescue.
The eyes of the people under the water suddenly showed brilliance: "Really?"
"Really?"
Su Shuiqu nodded vigorously and took out the stone. Just as he was about to respond to the regular knocking sound, he suddenly found that the knocking sound had stopped. It was obvious that the person had walked away. If they couldn't hear the noise made by the other party, how could they let the other party hear theirs?
movement.
Su Shuiqu suddenly couldn't bear to tell them the bad news. Just when he had almost given up hope, the knocking sound came again.
Su Shuiqu almost couldn't believe it, how could it be possible?! He hurriedly tapped to respond. After a while, the other party responded several times with four consecutive rings to confirm that their signal had been received.
Su Shuiqu finally showed a relieved smile on his face: "Great, we are saved..." His body seemed to have lost all strength and lay motionless on the stone wall. After a few breaths, he managed to cheer himself up and let them,
Those who are currently in the best spirits use light stones to determine their position by the undetectable light from the cave entrance.
Zhou Tian was overjoyed. When he looked at the faint light in front of him, he was very excited. He must be Su Shuiqu. He was not the one who could knock out the codes at all times! Great! He is still alive! The Shuiqu that she felt must be here
Nearby, this is the closest to the gate. The water quality of the canal is very good. Even if he loses his direction, he will not swim elsewhere. If he is alive, he will only be in this established area, so as long as she looks around this area, there will definitely be something.
Respond!
Unexpectedly, we really waited! Zhou Tian followed Guangda's route, pulled another lifeline fixed on it, and swam towards them quickly.
When Su Shuiqu saw the emperor for the first time, he was completely stunned! There was no joy, and Bian's fear instantly shattered his reason. Such a harsh water environment! How could she come down! How dare she come down! Where was she with Qingmu and the others?
! Where are the people in the world! A tight breath burst out in an instant: "Why are you here! Do you know where this place is and how many whirlpools there are in it! What to do if you encounter a flowstone! You - you! You are just making nonsense! Ahem!
"
Before the others could be happy, they were stopped by Su Sikong's sudden attack! The other party came to save them. What was wrong with them? How could they treat their savior like this?
Zhou Tian swam over regardless of all that and hugged Su Shuiqu directly. Her head finally came out of the water, and everything was dark: "Great, you're okay! Don't talk! I know you're unhappy! But there's no time now."
.”
Zhou Tian said and tied the lifeline around his waist. He was about to say that you go up first and I will open the backup gate. Suddenly he saw someone else here. He frowned and said helplessly: "You are all passive! Wait for me!"
"
Seeing that Su Shuiqu was about to leave again, he was startled and quickly grabbed her: "Your Majesty! What are you doing! It's dangerous outside! I don't want to give you a lifeline! You--ahem! Come up quickly!"
Everyone immediately looked at the person who came and looked at him in disbelief! The Emperor? The Emperor actually came to save them in person!
Zhou Tian held down his hand and looked at his pale face with solemn eyes: "Don't say anything, I'll send you all up! The gate is about to open. If you don't want the people downstream to die because of you, then
Be honest and stop talking!" After saying that, Zhou Tian kissed his cold forehead and quickly disappeared into the rushing night water!
After a while, Zhou Tian came back with seven more lifelines in his hand: "Take them up! I'll open the backup gate!" As he said this, without waiting for Su Shuiqu's objection, he disappeared into the night sea like a fish.
Everyone turned their heads unconsciously, feeling a little confused. It turned out that Su Sikong was really with the emperor! It would be worth it even if the emperor was a man to allow the emperor to take risks with his precious body...
The water was as dark as a box, and it was impossible to identify the direction under the torrential rain. Zhou Tian moved forward with difficulty, using his internal strength to keep his body warm, and rushed towards the gate. The gate was not far from the cave. Zhou Tian arrived in a short while.
When she was about to open the backup gate, she suddenly discovered that there were traces of heavy explosives exploding on the crumbling gate.
Zhou Tian instantly pressed the mechanism of the backup gate, and a new gate rushed out from the huge mountain-like embankment, knocking open the old gate and becoming a new gate.
Zhou Tian did not dare to stay and turned back quickly. After the automatic water level line alarmed, the gates would be opened to drain water. It was dangerous here.
Zhou Tian quickly returned to the bridge and saw Su Shuiqu tying the lifelines around other people's waists. He then pulled the ropes to signal the people at the other end of the ropes to quickly grab the ropes. Each person was taken away from him, and in the end only he was left.
I struggled to hold on to the life rope which was not easy.
Seeing this, Zhou Tian swam over angrily, popped his head out, and looked at him reproachfully.
When Su Shuiqu saw that it was him, the light in Su Shuiqu's eyes flashed away, and then was replaced by deep guilt. No matter what the reason was, it was not enough for the emperor to take risks for him: "Your Majesty - I am ashamed of Your Highness."
Zhou Tian put his arms around his waist and tied the rope firmly around his waist: "I'm sorry for you." Zhou Tian hugged him tightly, looking at his pale and thin face at this moment, thinking of the gate that the "medicine" exploded,
A flash of light flashed through my mind, and I thought of something, and felt even more guilty!
Zhou Tian felt that it was all his fault. If it hadn't been for him, Su Shuiqu and Ben wouldn't have been trapped here: "Now is not the time to talk, we have to leave." Zhou Tian said, placing his palms behind Su Shuiqu.
A warm current rose from the back and flowed to the limbs: "Your Majesty...you..."
"Stop talking, let's go!" Zhou Tian followed him, left the stone bridge, merged into the dark water, and swam quickly towards the end of the rope.
Sun Qingmu was no longer as calm as before. Why hasn't he been there after so long... Suddenly the rope moved, and everyone on the embankment was shocked!
Eunuch Lu stopped crying and hurriedly pulled the rope. He was so excited that he forgot to use force at first. In an instant, many people gathered around him. The rope was pulled up instantly, and one person was pulled up.
Eunuch Lu was a little disappointed when he saw that it was not the emperor. Suddenly the ropes around him moved. Eunuch Lu was overjoyed. At least it meant that the emperor was still alive. As long as he was alive, that would be great!
People were pulled up one after another, some passed out directly, and some even collapsed after saying a word. These people were quickly taken away for treatment, until after a loud noise on the dark water, everyone let out a sigh of relief and
The voice of worry, the downstream is finally difficult, the worry is because the emperor has not come up yet.
A long time passed, and Zi Cheshi's anxious face turned pale. Why hasn't the emperor come up yet? Where is Su Shuiqu? Could it be that Su Shuiqu was not found? "Quick! Go and ask if the person who came up just now is with Mr. Su.
"
Shen Fei suddenly said: "No need to ask, they can't tell the complete story at all."
Everyone paused at this moment, what if the emperor, the emperor——
Sun Qingmu stared at the sea anxiously. This was the second time that he faced the emperor who was so close to death. He couldn't help but want to curse, Su Shuiqu, where have you gone!
Su Yi, Zi Cheshi, Shen Fei, Sun Qingmu, and Eunuch Lu were waiting eagerly.
After a while, the rope moved again, and the surroundings became busy again.
Suddenly, Zhou Tian finally dragged Su Shuiqu out of the flowing river.
The river embankment suddenly boiled. The rescue sailors quickly entered the water, lifted up the man in the emperor's hands, heated the stove, and quickly followed up with first aid measures.
Su Yi, Zi Cheshi, Shen Fei, Sun Qingmu, and Eunuch Lu quickly jumped into the water and rushed towards the emperor. Shen Fei suddenly realized that Sun Qingmu was stupid because he didn't know how to swim, so he jumped down, quickly caught him, and rushed towards Zhou Tian together. .
As soon as Zhou Tian came out of the water, he was almost pushed into the water by his excited husbands. Knowing that he had made them worried, Zhou Tian hugged them one by one: "I'm sorry, it's okay, it's okay. I will never do anything wrong in the future!"
"You also said that you scared Su Yi to death." As he said this, he occupied the largest space and hugged Zhou Tian without letting go!
Eunuch Lu saw several concubines and attendants forming a ball around the emperor. He couldn't even look at the emperor, so he had to cough hard and said: "If we don't help the emperor ashore, we are not afraid that the emperor will catch cold!"
"Yes! Yes!"
…
After being strongly pulled by several people, Zhou Tian changed his clothes and drank ginger soup before going to see Su Shuiqu.
In the annex closest to Nanhe, imperial doctors and medical doctors were busy coming in and out. The injured people received treatment. The rain gradually subsided, and their family members came from the city to take care of them.
The courtyard of the Royal Annex, even if it is inconspicuous, shows the nobility of the emperor. Inside the master bedroom, it is not strange if you look closely, but all the furnishings that should be in the room are available. When you enter the door, the nine phoenixes are opened and the screen is impressive. The Bixi beast grinned with its teeth bared in a strange and ferocious manner. The soothing incense in the small and exquisite incense burner filled the air. In the gauze leather tent, thoughts burst out.
Zhou Tian looked at Su Shuiqu who woke up and saw that he was still smiling at her, and her heart was filled with tenderness. She turned away everyone and said, "Are you feeling better?"
Su Shuiqu held her extended hand and saw that she had changed her clothes. Although it was not yet dark outside, the rain had lightened up: "Outside..."
Zhou Tian smiled and said: "It's okay. Because the river water reached the warning line, two gates were opened to dredge the water. No damage was caused upstream or downstream. Thank you for your hard work."
When Su Shuiqu heard this, he looked at her with a smile, his eyes wandering over her face with nostalgia, as if he wanted to imprint her face. In fact, he had never looked at her properly before. Her soft hair fell on his chest, which was like a medicine. Everything warmed his heart: "The emperor is joking, that's what the minister should do! On the contrary, the minister did not do it well, which frightened the emperor, and the minister is guilty."
Zhou Tian shook her head. Thinking of the traces of the bombing, her heart was filled with rage. But facing the ditch, she tried to restrain her emotions: "It was me. If I didn't bring you to Shengdu, you wouldn't have had this accident!"
Hearing this, Su Shuiqu said displeasedly: "Your Majesty! It's my honor to serve you!" You have given me enough, so why should I belittle myself? Su Shuiqu's body gradually regained its warmth: "What kind of fragrance is there in the house? It's very good." Smell." Close to the smell of her body.
"Really? I think it smells good too. I was still burning for a while at first, but then Eunuch Lu said -" Zhou Tian suddenly stopped. Eunuch Lu said that the fragrance had aphrodisiac ingredients, so she stopped using it, but this fragrance It is harmful to the human body, but it is a good medicine when used on people with blocked qi and blood, so it is lit in the house.
Zhou Tian smiled sheepishly and wrapped the canal for the rest of his life: "It's the fragrance of medicine that you can't smell often."
"Really? Wei Chen thinks it smells good."
When Sun Qingmu heard the movement inside, he immediately wanted to step forward, but shook his head in frustration. The emperor came quickly, and ran over in the blink of an eye. After he made sure that the people inside did not do anything that violated the ethics, he carried the Go through the "Medicine" door, go around the screen and come to the inner room: "Da Sikong has taken the 'Medicine'."
Zi Cheshi also walked in, and happened to see the emperor undoing the medicine in the bowl and feeding it to Su Shuiqu. Su Shuiqu's face was obviously ugly and he didn't want her to feed him.
Zi Cheshi and Sun Qingmu looked at each other, shook their heads and laughed. They knew that Su Shuiqu must be very happy at this moment, but they might not be willing to exchange what they had for eternity for this scene.
He loves her and wants to get the same love from her at any cost. Now he has got it. Although she has divided it into several parts, that is what he wants.
Zi Cheshi picked up a towel and wiped his shoulders. There was rain on the road and he felt a little cold at the moment. This body, good or bad, is always so tormenting.
Shen Fei also came in. Seeing that the emperor was attentive to his work, he quickly told her not to be busy: "Your Majesty, if you want Master Su to choke you, you will be happy. Give it to me and I will do it!"
"Are you doubting my skills?"
"No one doubts you. It's just that Wei Chen's food is better. Su Sikong, tell me if you are."
Su Shuiqu would rather Shen Fei said: "Thank you, Concubine Shen." It is no longer appropriate to call him sir. After all, his official position is higher than that of Shen Fei now. Calling him 'sir' would be self-defeating!
Zhou Tian stood up: "Okay, you two are a family! I, no one likes you, go outside and wait first, Qing Mu! Come out for a moment, the imperial doctor said there is another "medicine", you come with me to have a look!"
Sun Qingmu heard the meaning of the emperor's words and couldn't help but look at Su Shuiqu on the bed. He suddenly thought of something and walked out.
Zhou Tian was waiting for him outside. When he saw him come out and take a look at him, he sat aside tiredly and asked Eunuch Lu to bring him some hot soup: "Go down and find out who did something in Nanhe Road!"
Sun Qingmu looked at the emperor in surprise: "The emperor means someone -"
Zhou Tian nodded and expressed his doubts about what he saw: "There are indeed traces of gunpowder on it. It seems that it was detonated together with the thunder and no one noticed it. If you go out and ask around, someone should listen that night." Something strange happened. Who else is coming in and out of Nanhe? Who is on duty?"
Sun Qingmu suddenly had a bad premonition that it might be related to the silver case that Shuiqu gave him.
Zhou Tian saw Sun Qingmu thoughtfully asking: "What's wrong?"
Sun Qingmu expressed the doubts in his heart, and then knelt down to plead guilty: "Wei Chen, as the Minister of Household Affairs, has committed the crime of dereliction of duty, please punish me!"
Zhou Tian sneered and suddenly realized that it was strange that a real person was planning to murder her beloved general right under his nose. How courageous! She stretched out her hand to help Sun Qingmu up: "It has nothing to do with you! After all, you are not a complementary minister. There are some things that you can intervene in." But it's not good to "meddle" in it. I have been negligent in these years. I have given you rights but no official position. It is inevitable that your hands are tied! You can take Shen Fei to investigate this matter without worry! If it has anything to do with Xin Cheng, I will not spare him lightly. "
"Yes! Your Majesty!"
…
The next day, the sky was as clear as blue, and the people of Shengdu got up early to work as usual. Looking at the clear sky outside, they couldn't help but feel good.
The Shengdu, which had been peaceful for two years, was in turmoil under this fine weather.
The Li family made a mistake and Su Shui Canal fell into the water, alarming the emperor. The Li family fell into an unprecedented panic, especially the person who carried out the incident is still missing. Checkpoints were set up on all official roads this morning, which made the Li family and his son even more worried.
"Didn't you say that it was lost? How could he not die and alert the emperor!" Master Li was pacing back and forth in the study! He knew that now was not the time to blame his son, but he was afraid that he would be out of breath if he didn't say anything.
: "What should we do now? The emperor must have discovered something! Otherwise, why would the whole city be on alert!"
Nanhe is a new embankment that will not fall into disrepair. It can only be caused by man-made things. Mr. Li's scalp goes numb just thinking about the emperor finding their heads. The emperor has not killed people for many years, which does not mean that the remaining power is not there. Think of the blood that filled the Shengdu.
The evil Shura ghost made Mr. Li tremble all over: "What should I do? What should I do?"
Run, why didn't he think about it, the emperor had closed the city gate last night, and running away now would be like throwing himself into a trap!
Li Shangjiu had already woken up. He was brought back from Jieyi Tower by his father this morning. He guessed that something bad was going to happen. Unexpectedly, he alerted the emperor. He wanted him to die in an accident. But now it was better, but it caused
Your Majesty! If you had known this, you should have killed him directly! The Emperor was made to think that there was an enemy who could not seek revenge on him and approached Su Shuiqu.
But it’s too late to say anything now, we must find a way to get through this! I really don’t know what the emperor likes about Su Shuiqu, that he is really involved with this person!
Li Shang stood up: "I'm going to see Su Yongzhong. We paid him five million taels, and he can't even think of staying out of it at this time!"
Mr. Li thinks it is appropriate. Only Su Yongzhong can save them now. Their two families have always been inseparable. One will prosper and the other will suffer. Su Yongzhong will not sit idly by and watch!
Li Shang took people directly to Su Mansion.
Su Yongzhong didn't think so. Although he had been angry with the emperor earlier, saying that someone was doing harm to Su Sikong, he didn't take it to heart. He thought he was the emperor's enemy. He couldn't take revenge on the emperor, so he took out his anger on Su Shuiqu.
Su Yongzhong picked up the tea cup with a few royal blue rings on his overly maintained fingers: "Let him in." The money from the Li family's filial piety is still very fragrant. The Li family is rich. They take care of each other and benefit each other!
Li Shang hurried in.
Su Yongzhong just wanted to call his nephew.
Li Shang knelt down to Su Yongzhong: "Mr. Su, help me! You must save our family! Something big has happened! It's a big deal!"
Su Yongzhong hurriedly put down his tea cup, with a flash of panic in his eyes. His relationship with the Li family was not an exploit. Their two families had a deep connection. They did many things together in the past. If someone touched the Li family, then the Su family would
He couldn't run away either: "My dear nephew, get up quickly! What happened!"
Su Yongzhong had a bad premonition in his heart. Sure enough, after listening to Li Shang's words, he, who had experienced life and death for a long time, felt his eyes darken: "It's you who want to kill him - Your Majesty, this time - no! I want to go in immediately.
Meet the concubines in the palace!"
Su Yongzhong just stood up, and there was already a mess outside. After a while, a boy came running: "It's not good, master! It's not good, master! Master Shen Fei and Shen rushed in with his men! He said he was going to arrest you."
condemn!"
When Li Shang heard this, his eyes suddenly darkened!
Su Yongzhong was much calmer, and he had to be calm. He told himself that he still had Su Yi, and the emperor's beloved concubine Su, and that nothing would happen to him, absolutely nothing would happen to him.
Su Yongzhong quickly looked at Li Shang: "If you take all the blame, I will protect your bloodline!" Su Yongzhong thought of something else, and suddenly realized that there was no need to say, who is the emperor? He thinks you are guilty, but you are not guilty.
Yes! Just leave it to fate!
In the afternoon, the army surrounded the Su family and the Li family. Both families were controlled and taken to the Criminal Department for trial by Duan Liang.
The city of Shengdu was boiling with excitement. How could it be said? The Su family was not highly regarded by the emperor and had nothing to do for so many years. Why did they arrest these two people who were so conspiring to commit adultery this time?
Knowledgeable people know the rules. Duan Liang's case is being tried in person, so those who want to watch the fun have to be careful. Needless to say, the relationship between Duan Liang's son Duan Jingchen and Su Yi! The relationship between Su Yi and Su Yongzhong is obvious.
!This trial of Duan Liang’s case will shake up the future situation.
The most important thing is, will the emperor touch Su Yongzhong? If Su Yongzhong is touched, Yanguo's largest harem-style clique will have no support, and there will be another storm in the future!
When the news came to the palace, Su Yi was teaching new soldiers in Yanwuyuan. When he suddenly heard the news, he rushed into the heaven with sadness. He suddenly felt how ridiculous! I didn't expect that what happened last night was actually done by them! Because the people downstream of them almost died,
It even made her take risks herself!
But that person is his father! His biological father, even if their relationship has become distant in the past two years, it can't change the friendship he used to care about him and hold him on his shoulders! Even if he enters the palace and fulfills his father, even if his father takes advantage of him
, he is also the son of man, so he must not complain! What’s more, he has never hated his father.
Even if he wanted to send his sixth brother here, he would just blame him! Unexpectedly, the Su family, which had been restrained for many years, was still involved in corruption. I thought that the emperor's eloquent words of "forgetting past the past" would wipe out the Su family's past, but unexpectedly it happened again.
It's fate to get into trouble! Because of the ghosts who died under the sword of the Su family in the past!
Su Yi suddenly dropped the command flag of his subordinates. He used to be full of energy, but now he looked slumped, and his voice seemed to grow stronger from his throat: "Whose chief judge!" No wonder Sun Qingmu looked at him this morning.
Is it because of this incident that he hesitates to speak? Why bother? It will happen sooner or later, and he can afford it.
Eunuch Gu felt very uncomfortable. The young master had such a good relationship with Mr. Su but faced such a choice: "It's Duan Shangshu!"
Su Yi suddenly laughed, his laughter was desolate and desolate: "Tit for retaliation! The Su family actually put themselves to the test under the emperor's orders, and they should be punished!"
Mo Ping came over on horseback. You raised your head and looked at Su Yi, who was very knowledgeable on the high platform: "What's wrong? Why did you put the flag before the formation was set up!"
Su Yi came down from the high platform and flew past Mo Ping like the wind: "I have something to do, you can practice by yourself!" After saying that, he disappeared at the entrance of the Martial Arts Garden.
Only then did Eunuch Gu hurriedly come down from the high platform, saluted Mo Ping, and hurried after his master!
The upper study room is still dyed with the fragrance of books, and every low-key and extremely low-key furnishing has a royal face, showing mediocre luxury.
Zhou Tian had just received the results, and when he saw the words "corruption of Heyin" and "involvement of the Su family" on it, Zhou Tian suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.
Eunuch Lu was studying carefully without squinting his eyes and did not pay attention to the contents of the booklet. This time he saw that the emperor was thoughtful and said in confusion: "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you? Don't worry, Your Majesty. Didn't the imperial doctor say that Su Sikong
Nothing will happen."
Zhou Tian spread the booklet in front of Eunuch Lu, and his eyebrows were filled with sadness: "It's not his business, just look at it." Then he rubbed his eyebrows with a headache, and suddenly felt ridiculous! He said he would handle things fairly, but he had actually come this far.
, only to realize that it was easier said than done! Su Yongzhong is Su Yi's father. How could Su Yi watch something happen to his father? If his father really 'went' because of his own will... there will be no influence between them, and they will never return.
Once upon a time.
Su Yongzhong will become the eternal thorn between them, and it will hurt when touched.
After reading it, Eunuch Lu was surprised but could not accept it. The Su family was already acting recklessly, so it was inevitable that they would be hit by a gun this time. However, seeing the emperor's anxiety, he also said calmly: "How could this happen? How about this?
It’s good.”
Zhou Tian found it even more ridiculous. Her husband's father went to kill her lover, but was caught by her other two husbands and handed over to her nominally other husband's father for interrogation! Irony! It was her lack of consideration that should not let Qing Mu and Shen Fei
"Meet" in, how will the three of them get along when they meet in the future.
They have sacrificed too much for her. If this incident caused a rift between their harmonious relationships because of her, who is she? A selfish person who only enjoys life without giving anything! A villain who does not care about her husband's morality for the sake of her family and country! Even if Su Yi has
But he didn't say anything to her!
Family law, national righteousness, both are easier said than done!
When Eunuch Li came in, he suddenly felt that the atmosphere in the room was strange. What was going on: "Your Majesty, Sir Su, please——"
Seeing that the emperor was holding his head and not speaking, Eunuch Lu raised his head and said, "Let Concubine Su wait first. The emperor is not feeling well. He needs to take some 'medicine' before--"
Eunuch Li suddenly said: "Eunuch, he is not Concubine Su, but Sikong Su. He said he has something urgent and wants to see the emperor!"
Zhou Tian suddenly raised his head, with obvious relief in his eyes: "Let him come in."
Eunuch Lu was surprised to see Su Shuiqu and Su Yi arriving together. Eunuch Li next to him had a bitter look on his face. He probably found them all there when he went out. It was obvious that Eunuch Li couldn't stop the other one, so he had to let him in.
When Eunuch Lu saw this, he wanted to scold Eunuch Li and beat Su Yi.
Zhou Tian waved his hand for them all to get down! Come as soon as they come! Sooner or later, Zhou Tian got up, with a smile on his face, came out from in front of the dragon case, and sat on the chair beside the two of them.
Su Yi did not sit down, but knelt directly on the ground: "The emperor's humble minister is guilty."
Su Shuiqu didn't dare to sit down when he saw this, and knelt down beside Su Yi, feeling guilty. He didn't expect that Su Yi would be implicated because of his incident. He heard from Teng Xiu that if Su Yi hadn't had many things not go so smoothly that day, Su Shuiqu would have
Yi had saved his life, which offset any mistakes. He should not have dealt with his father and created a gap between the emperor and Concubine Su.
Su Shuiqu was originally too embarrassed to speak when he saw Su Yi. After all, he was not interceding for Su's father, so he seemed too arrogant. But when he saw Su Yi kneeling down before the emperor, he was always doing mischief, but he was always clinging to the emperor, and now he was quite behaved.
, frightened, he felt that it was his fault, if it weren't for him——
Su Shuiqu thought of this and kowtowed to the emperor: "Your Majesty! I have something to tell you! Commander Su is as kind as a mountain to me, and he is not afraid of the heavy rain to save his ministers from difficulties. I beg the emperor to look at Commander Su's face and let him go."
Mr. Su!" He said and knelt on the ground without getting up.
When Zhou Tian heard this, she did not look at Su Yi but looked to one side. She had already considered this matter in her mind when Su Yi came in. The Li family ransacked the house. The Su family? Just cut off their jobs. She must be sorry for Shui Gu!
At this moment, she had no shame to look at him. He was hurt! He was wronged, but he came to comfort this useless person like her! She didn't even give him her only affection! What qualifications did she have to provoke him: "Su Yi,
What do you want to say!"
Su Yi's forehead hit the ground and he didn't dare to raise his head: "Wei Chen is brave and asks the emperor to let my father go! Wei Chen is willing to bear the responsibility for his father's crime!"
Zhou Tian looked at them, suddenly smiled, and said in a relaxed and cunning tone:
"Get up, everyone should think that I am who I am. One of you is afraid that I will be difficult to do, and the other is afraid that I will be ashamed of the people of the world. How can I accept your invitation at this time and pretend that you are all wrong to me! Don't worry,
One of you is my beloved general, and the other is my beloved concubine. I can't bear to let anything happen to you! I will handle this matter myself! Who dares to talk nonsense! I will make them look good!"
Su Yi was shocked by the meaning of the emperor's words and looked at her in surprise: "Your Majesty..."
Su Shuiqu also raised his head, a little puzzled, because the emperor put him and Su Yi together and felt slightly uncomfortable!
Zhou Tian clearly saw the same look in their eyes, and immediately felt embarrassed: "Haha, what are you looking at! Shuiqu is timid. If I kill Su Yongzhong, Shuiqu will have to ignore me for the rest of his life, and then feel guilty towards Su Yi.
lifetime."
Zhou Tian then turned to Su Yi, deliberately lowered his head and looked at him teasingly, lifting Su Yi's chin with his frivolous hand: "My little sweetheart is so cute, I don't want to lose my little sweetheart's face in the future, get up."
Your father was only charged with accepting bribes, and it was the Li family who really took action against the ditch."
Su Shuiqu finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. It was so good. It scared him to death. He thought...
Su Yi was not an upright person. Hearing what the emperor said now, he didn't think there was anything wrong with it. It was just that the emperor felt guilty because his father had made an exception. He stood up and leaned towards the emperor in a low voice.
: "You're so kind. I'll beat you as much as you want in the future. I will never mind the pain of your beating!"
"Fuck you for not being serious." Zhou Tian looked at Su Shuiqu, who was kneeling and looking at their smiles. He felt really guilty in his heart. No matter whether Su Yongzhong did it or not, it had something to do with him. He almost caused the Nanhe River to burst its banks.
It's a matter, a serious crime worthy of execution, but now -
Zhou Tian looked at Su Shuiqu and said guiltily: "Shuiqu——"
When Su Yi heard the words, he immediately looked at the emperor and heard the guilt in the emperor's words. He also knew that the emperor had promised him something and it was a lie that he didn't dare to move. At this time, he should do something for the emperor. Suddenly he said with great energy.
: "Shuiqu, I feel guilty for seeing you without the emperor! Hurry! What do you want from the palace? Male queen? My Weiyang Palace? As long as you say a word, the emperor will reward you!"
When Zhou Tian heard this, his expression froze, but he still led Su Yiqing to look at the ditch, with a hint of hope in his eyes, but because he understood him better, he felt that it was impossible.
Su Shuiqu nodded gently to Su Yi. He felt that Su Yi was sincerely accepting him. If it was before, this was what he had longed for. Now, he just wants to do this, occupy the position in her heart, and use his meager
The length of it resisted the huge power of the fourth house, and it firmly left a trace of eternal regret in her heart, making her think about it.
Everyone has selfish motives, and so does he. This is what he wants, and it is the only way out when he is not confident.
Su Shuiqu pretended to be grateful and said, "Concubine Su, please spare me. I don't want to stay alone in an empty room, just waiting for the beautiful lady to be lucky."
Zhou Tian could not hide his disappointment, but the result was the same again, he would not enter the palace, and she kept her promise and would not "force" him!
Su Yi looked at Su Shuiqu, and realized at this moment that the person he had never looked at could be so stubborn. He said he would not do things, and would not let go no matter how tempted he was. What made him willing to give up the emperor's side?
Opportunity to be associated with the river for the rest of his life? No wonder the emperor is concerned about such a person!
He almost saw the light of divine will from the other person's ordinary face!
…
The famous "Rainy Night Case" in Shengdu came to an end in an instant. Before the streets could sing songs and flesh out the version of the story about the fight between men and concubines in the harem, the matter was already over!
The Li family was suspected of murdering a court official, blowing up the Nanhe dike, expropriating all the family property, and the three principal culprits were executed!
More than a dozen serving disciples of the Su family were dismissed, Su Yongzhong was exiled, and two generations of the Su family were banned from entering the official ranks. This heralded the Su family's withdrawal from the stage of history, and the concubines in the palace resigned from their official positions, leaving no one to rely on.
, the arrogant and domineering evil figure in the old Shengdu joint has disappeared!
The people of Shengdu were in a daze, not knowing whether to clap their hands in praise or regret the loss of the handsome young disciple of the Wise Fighting Afterlife Cult.
No matter what it is, except for the fact that the family who has a blood feud with the Su family burned valuable money tonight to comfort the souls of the dead, no one is interested in it anymore.
The next day in the court hall, there was an earth-shaking exclamation!
The Su family is gone? Even if Su Yi has children in the future, he will lose his competitiveness! Wait, that’s not right! The prince born by Su Yi, whose surname is Yan, is also a prince! The centipede is dead but not stiff. Su Yongzhong will focus on the father of the country in this life. In the future
The title of prince and grandfather can last a lifetime!
hateful!
But this moth was finally eliminated from the court, which was a relief!
Those who have seen it more deeply can't help but feel sorry for themselves, why do they have a man in the harem as a favorite concubine, and they don't need to be executed for committing such a big thing? However, Su Yongzhong, that old fox, would be worse off without his official position.
Death! It can be regarded as "death" in its proper place.
On the high position, the emperor's memorial fell heavily to the ground. She, who had always had a bad temper, had already smashed a deep ravine on the white marble steps in front of her: "This time, all those involved in the embezzlement of He Daoyin will be punished. Those who are guilty will be punished.
, all are exiled! Never return to Shengdu! I will not tell secret words! If I find out that any of you have long hands, I will chop them off directly!"
The newlyweds' ministers were used to the emperor's generosity, but suddenly they heard the emperor's words with a chill in them. Their hearts trembled slightly, and they felt frightened. They couldn't help but think of how bloody the court was in the past!
The person who was passing by the incident calmed down and knelt down calmly: "I will obey the law and abide by the law! I will help the emperor solve his problems! Long live my emperor! Long live my emperor!"
The newcomer was startled and hurriedly shouted after him! He thought to himself, Jiang is indeed more mature with age.
After seeing the emperor lose his temper, the Ministry of Rites of the Qin Dynasty calmed down. While secretly sighing at the speed of the emperor's work, they quickly went out to say something happy to change the emperor's mood: "Your Majesty! The crown prince's enthronement.
, Weichen has chosen a few days, please take a look at the emperor." Cheng Yu said the gilded fold before sending it out.
The little eunuchs immediately picked it up with sharp eyesight and quick hands, and handed them to the emperor layer by layer.
Talking about the children, a faint smile appeared on Zhou Tian's face. The Qintian Prison gave him a total of three days. The earliest one was in July this year. There are still two months left. They are also good days that are neither cold nor hot. Recently, there has been a boom.
Rumors are flying around, it's time to change the gossip for them: "Let's set it for July."
…
The sun shines on the beautiful Yaohua Palace, and the whole Yaohua seems to be transformed into its owner, with all kinds of charms, acrimony and acrimony.
That's what Su Yi thought. Who asked him to come to accompany the little guy so early in the morning? The little guy actually laughed at him for being dismissed from office. He had known he wouldn't come!
Yanle sat on the swing his father had given him to sit on in the flowers, squinting his happy eyes and shouting: "Higher! Higher!" It was great to be dismissed from office. Second Dad said that after he was dismissed from office, he had many moments to play with him.
Let him find a way to give it to the eldest daddy and the fifth daddy. He thinks this is a good suggestion. In the future, daddy will have more time to play with him when he has nothing to do, haha.
Su Yi pedaled the swing higher and higher, and listened to his laughter spreading all over the garden. He felt both happy and unwilling: "Can you stop laughing? I feel so sad for your father!"
Yan Le hurriedly turned around after hearing this. Unexpectedly, the swing was too high. He followed the inertia of the movement and Yan Le was instantly thrown out: Ah!
Su Yi was so frightened that he flew up and collided with seven or eight masters. Several of them fell to the ground.
Yanle was caught by the soft nanny Kang, and her laughter suddenly sounded like a song, extinguishing all the anger that wanted to scold him.
Su Yi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He had almost been frightened to death just now. If he threw Shen Fei's precious son, Shen Fei and the emperor would let him go! Shen Fei was indeed insidious, and he actually gave him such a laborious task of taking care of the child!
As soon as Su Yi got up from the ground, a smiling face loomed large in front of his eyes, and his little face rubbed his neck coquettishly: "Second Daddy, Second Daddy, let me let you sit on the swing! Second Daddy will be happy. Got it!"
When Su Yi heard this, he suddenly hugged him, sweet little guy! If the official position is gone, it will be gone! It’s not bad to train a general! Although his father is a bit cunning!

The crown prince's enthronement ceremony was held as scheduled. On that day, there was dancing and singing, and the world was filled with happiness. At that time, people rushed to tell them that the country of Yan was once again called "terrible"!
There were flowers in bloom, monks singing sutras, the lively drums beating for three days, and a huge honor guard singing for a long time!
What makes people doubtful the most, and what is unfathomable, is that it is said that the person who crowned His Highness on the altar that day was the Lord of the Pressure Belt. His handsome charm and "mysterious" identity instantly captivated several men and women in the Flame Kingdom.
This kind of devotion is respect, treasured in the heart like a god's respect. This person is the true master of the heaven, the master of the world that people dare to question! Now he is standing on the altar of Yanguo! Offering sacrifices to His Highness, It is the glory of Yanguo!
Little did he know that at this time of the coming year, the confusing relationship between the owner of the jade belt and the emperor would be even more terrifying!

This is my most satisfying ending, and it is also the longest ending among all my works! Anyone who is familiar with me knows that I am not good at finales that are too warm and end in an instant.
Yes! The same goes for "The Prince", there are extras!
The first article is Luo Ximing!
The second article is Song Yixia!
The third article is Han Yan!
The above three extras will be updated for you from time to time.
I have been too tired recently. "The Prince" is the novel that I think I am most ashamed of. I was updating it when I was pregnant with the baby. After my baby was one month old, I started updating "The Prince" again. I thought that being young was nothing, but actually... Why……
After finishing, I will rest for a few days before doing the extra! I hope you understand! The first chapter of the extra will start on January 7th.
Tomorrow Bird will reply to all your comments today and on the 29th, but Bird is really not a broad-minded person who can bend and stretch, so if you are a [book boy], don’t say you love me! My heart is as sharp as a needle!
Another big event! Monthly tickets! If you have any, they will all be robbed!
