When delivering the news to the palace, Han Shitou saw the record of Yang Xuan's arrival.
"This son has just offended Mrs. Guo Guo." Wang Shou was somewhat gloating about his misfortune.
"Mrs. Guo Guo?" Han Shitou glanced at the news.
"I beat the people around Mrs. Guo severely." Wang Shou somewhat admired Yang Xuan's ability to seek death.
"interesting."
Han Shitou glanced casually, and suddenly made a fist with his left hand behind his back, "Let's send the news in now."
The paper in his hand was swinging. Wang Shou glanced at it, and when he happened to see it, he said: "Yang Xuan has not been married for a long time, and Zhou's daughter is only pregnant now. In other families, the man would have taken a concubine long ago.
maid.
Fortunately for him, he guarded Zhou's daughter and did not dare to move.
Mr. Han, please tell me, although this woman of the Zhou family has been favored by marrying her, she doesn’t even dare to take a concubine. Is this woman worthy?"
Han Shitou stopped, "Who knows?"
His voice trembled slightly, but Wang Shou didn't hear it. Even if he did, he would definitely think that there was something wrong with Han Shitou's voice.
Han Shitou entered the pear garden.
The emperor and his concubine are performing a song and dance together.
"Okay." The emperor stretched out his hand to press the strings.
The imperial concubine knelt down and sat down, covered in sweat.
"Your Majesty." Han Shitou came closer, "The mirror has just sent news."
The emperor narrowed his eyes.
"Over in southern Xinjiang, Zhang Chumao led the troops to suppress the rebellion of the alien tribes."
"Those rebellions have subsided for a long time. Zhang Chumao is looking for trouble."
"Your Majesty is wise."
"If the soldiers of Southern Xinjiang are of no use, then he, the Jiedushi Envoy, will become useless."
"Yes." Han Shitou continued to report.
"Hanhai Jiedu Envoy Zhao Song said that Yasi, the leader of the Luoluo Kingdom, was fighting openly and secretly with the Prime Minister Danbas. Recently, Danbas's confidant was assassinated. Then Yasi's favorite concubine was bitten to death by a poisonous snake..."
"Powerful ministers!" the emperor sneered, "all deserve to die!"
Is the false emperor implying that Huang Chunhui deserves to die?
Han Shitou continued to read, "Zhao Song and his subordinates are advocating that we should take advantage of the situation and launch a large army to attack Luo Luo."
"Every year Luoluo sends envoys to celebrate the New Year. His skin looks like a savage to me, that's all!"
"Yes." Han Shitou continued to look down, "Yang Xuan, the governor of Chenzhou, has arrived in Chang'an and reported to the Ministry of Personnel."
"Why didn't anyone report it to the palace?" the emperor asked.
Han Shitou thought for a while, "Your Majesty, Luo Cai..."
Luo Cai was driven home by you, and the officials may be in chaos for a while.
"knew."
"There is also news that Yang Xuan's wife is pregnant."
The emperor's face was cold, and then he was startled, "Daughter of the Zhou family?"
"Yes, otherwise the mirror would not send such boring news." Han Shitou smiled.
"They...I remember it's been a long time since they got married, right?"
"Yes, in other families, the children can leave."
"It can be seen that Zhou's daughter was obviously virtuous, but secretly suppressed Yang Xuan. It's interesting. I don't know if he regrets it now."
The emperor thought of the imperial concubine, "If he had followed you all the time, my life now would have been better."
The imperial concubine smiled and said: "This is fate."
"Yes, this is life."
"Your Majesty." A chamberlain came in, "The medical officer is here."
The emperor felt tightness in his chest in the morning. No, the medical officer came.
Han Shitou went to welcome the medical officer in and asked in a low voice with a worried look on his face.
"I am in good health!" the emperor smiled.
Han Shitou smiled bitterly, "Your Majesty is my slave's heaven. Only when Your Majesty is here, I will have a good life."
The emperor smiled and said: "Yes! Anyone in the palace can betray me, except you, Han Shitou. You have become extremely rich and powerful following me. If I am gone, your life will not be easy."
Han Shitou said: "If His Majesty ascends to immortality, I will follow you."
"If I become an immortal, make elixirs and take medicine, what will you do with me?"
"My slave, go and light the fire."
"Ha ha ha ha!"
The emperor couldn't help but laugh.
However, people familiar with her could tell that her laughter was unnatural.
The longer you stay as emperor, the more you fear death.
It's not that I can't see through life and death, but I don't want to give up this god-like enjoyment and that sweet power.
The emperor would become uneasy if he felt uncomfortable at all. As time went by, he would even become irritable and scold and punish the medical officials.
"Chest tightness?" The medical officer concentrated on diagnosing the pulse.
"What could it be?" asked the emperor.
The medical officer was focusing on diagnosing the pulse and casually said: "I'm afraid it's a heart disease."
Heart disease?
The emperor's face turned cold.
Han Shitou was breathing rapidly.
Clench your fists.
This fell into the eyes of everyone, and it was natural that Han Shitou was worried about the emperor's health.
There is no other person so loyal and loyal.
The medical officer let go of his hand and asked some more questions about the emperor's physical condition, and then smiled and said: "I'm just a little angry. I'll eat lighter in the past few days and I'll be fine."
"Are you sure?" Han Shitou asked.
The medical officer said: "I have been thinking about your Majesty's health for many years, and your heart and pulse are strong. There is absolutely no problem!"
Han Shitou clenched his fists with both hands and waved them vigorously.
"Your Majesty!"
He shouted ecstatically: "Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations, Your Majesty!"
The emperor felt relieved. Seeing Han Shitou's ecstasy, he couldn't help but nodded slightly.
Stone, loyal!
"What a joy!"
Han Shitou laughed wildly, "Hahahaha!"
"Your Majesty is overjoyed!"
His voice echoed in the pear orchard.
It is joy that I have never experienced before.
In the afternoon, Han Shitou made an exception and asked for a drink. He was half drunk, humming a tune that no one else could understand, and staggered back to his residence.
The emperor is free without him.
After thinking about the court situation for a long time, the emperor picked up a memorandum and smiled at the imperial concubine: "When Luo Cai returned home, how many people were eyeing the post of Minister of the Ministry of Personnel. It's a pity that there are too many monks and too little rice!"
The imperial concubine said: "The official department is an important place."
"It's very important. I'll just watch and watch the demons dance wildly to see who can satisfy me."
That night, the emperor had a good dream.
In the early morning, before the emperor woke up, the waiters outside had already changed.
"Well!" The emperor opened his eyes, looked into the void, was stunned for a while, and then slowly sat up.
Two chamberlains were talking in low voices outside.
"Those two are eating right, kissing, and so on..."
The emperor frowned and was about to scold him.
"Hey! Did you hear it last night?"
"What?"
"Shaojian Han keeps laughing."
"I heard this. It seemed like I was still laughing in the middle of the night. I don't know what I was enjoying."
"You're laughing in the middle of the night too? Isn't that like laughing out loud in a dream?"
"yes!"
"This is probably for your Majesty's health."
The corner of the emperor's mouth was slightly raised. Han Shitou came to serve him during breakfast. The emperor said: "I have to discuss something today. You have nothing to do. Go home and rest."
Han Shitou was startled, "Your Majesty, slave..."
"You are not a foreign official. If I really want to deal with you, why do I need to let you go home first?" The emperor smiled.
Han Shitou then resigned with a smile.
After breakfast, the emperor went to the previous court in high spirits.
Today, it will be another battle of checks and balances.
The imperial concubine knew very well that the emperor was most passionate about this.
If it is political affairs that follow the rules, he cannot cheer up. Only fighting with those ministers can cheer him up.
"Your Majesty, Madam Guo Guo wants to see you."
Liang Yue is here.
"Amei!"
"Why are you so angry, sister?"
"Do you still remember the governor of Chenzhou?"
"Remember!"
The imperial concubine suddenly covered her forehead.
In my mind, long-lost images were recalled by memory.
The boy was lying at her feet, looking at her blankly.
My dear, you are so beautiful!
That was probably the most sincere praise and love she received in her life.
"Yesterday that bitch actually contradicted me and even beat up my attendant."
The imperial concubine looked a little dazed, "Why?"
"When I saw him, I went to ask a few questions. After all, I am older than him, but that bitch was rude."
"What did he say?"
"He said...he asked me who I was."
"Well! What's next?"
"Chen Dan was not angry, so he whipped him."
Liang Yue said with great expectation: "Brother's elbows are turned outward and he refuses to help. My sister... you have to help me vent this bad breath!"
"Someone is coming!"
A chamberlain came forward and said, "Your Majesty."
"Bring a whip and give Chen Dan ten lashes!"
"Amei!!!"
…
Yang Xuan spent a morning in Chang'an shopping frantically.
Everything Zhou Ning and her children need.
At noon, he planned to have a meal in the market and then start working.
“Would you like a roast leg of lamb?”
This is a shop run by Hu people, specializing in Hu biscuits and barbecue. The Hu women who sell it are dressed in cool clothes, with their navel and thighs exposed. Occasionally, they just smile when someone takes advantage of them.
"don't want!"
Yang Xuan sat down.
"Guest, is my roasted lamb leg famous in Chang'an?"
A big man over there scolded: "Have you forgotten your brother when you saw the pretty boy?"
Hu Nu smiled charmingly at Yang Xuan.
"I told you not to!"
Jiang Heer puffed out his cheeks.
Hu Nu left with a smile.
Wang Laoer said: "He'er, your voice is so loud."
"Is it big?"
"Big." Wang Laoer is an honest man, "Are you worried about Lang Jun getting involved with that Hu girl?"
"No!" Jiang He'er looked innocent.
"Definitely."
Hu cake tastes really good.
Everyone ate heartily.
When paying the bill, the big man said provocatively: "Are you here in Chang'an to buy things for your marriage?"
There was a big cart outside, containing the things Yang Xuancai bought.
Yang Xuan didn't answer. The old thief went to pay the bill. The Hu girl came over and said, "Guest, please go away."
As she spoke, she squeezed Yang Xuan's hand quietly.
Seeing that he was getting more and more angry, the big man stood up and said, "Where are you from?"
People near Chang'an like to come to Chang'an for shopping whenever they get married.
Yang Xuan seemed to be the right age at first glance, and he had many followers around him. This was the attitude of a rich man.
The big man was a local snake, and he was originally jealous. It was obvious that Yang Xuan and others were lavish in purchasing, and it was inevitable that they would have some ideas of making money.
Different from Taiping, people in Taiping prefer to pay attention to technical content when making money. For example, Yue Er is one of the leaders.
Making money is also a technical job. Anyone who makes it bloody will be looked down upon by the Taiping people.
The big man is obviously that kind of person.
Yang Xuan was thinking about Luo Cai's affairs and the position of Minister of Civil Affairs, and he felt a little unhappy.
The first time he was harassed, he didn't respond, and he didn't have the energy to respond.
But this time he became angry immediately, "What do you want to do?"
The big man smiled ferociously, "I'm worried that you're going the wrong way, but I want to give you a ride?"
The old thief whispered: "It's blackmail."
"Bring it to you!" Yang Xuan leaned over, picked up the stool, and slammed it over.
"Mr. Yang, it was so hard to find you."
A waiter came in sweating profusely.
Boom!
The big man hit a stool on his forehead, rolled his eyes, and staggered back.
Plop!
He fell at the feet of the chamberlain.
The chamberlain looked down at him, then looked up again.
I seem to be a little angry lately!
Yang Xuan murmured in his heart, but he felt that his thoughts were clear and his body and mind were happy.
"But something happened?"
"Your Majesty ordered us to come find you."
"Let's go now."
Yang Xuan stepped over the big man and asked, "Do you know what's going on?"
A piece of silver was handed over somewhat unfamiliarly.
It seems that Yang Shijun is not proficient in bribery... The chamberlain said: "Your Majesty said that the prince is quite lonely in the East Palace and asked Yang Shijun to accompany him."
The prince was placed under house arrest.
Let me go and accompany you.
Confinement.
Stay with me!
Why are these words so pervasive?
Yang Xuan's heart skipped a beat.
"Come and talk?"
The chamberlain's smile reminded Yang Xuan of the famous painting he saw in the scroll, whose smile was there, and how mysterious it was. But what he felt at the time was that it was just an appearance, and it had nothing to do with mystery.
"No, the prince hasn't spoken to anyone since he entered. It is said that he talks to himself every day." The chamberlain weighed the silver ingots in his sleeves, and his smile became more genuine, "I heard that the envoy's wife
Good at medicine?"
"That means myrrh kills people."
The chamberlain's eyelids twitched, "The prince also likes medical skills. Please go and discuss it with him."
But I don’t understand!
Moreover, when did the prince become proficient in medical skills?
Moreover, I went to discuss medical skills with the prince, why?
"Is there no purpose?"
"Just chat."
Yang Xuan's anger dissipated immediately.
Behind him, Jiang Heer muttered, "Lang Jun is so angry."
The old thief said with a smile: "I also discovered it."
"Is there any way?" Jiang He'er whispered: "I follow Mr. Lang all day long, so I'm afraid of getting into trouble."
The old thief smiled really mysteriously, "Don't you want to suffer disaster?"
"What do you mean?" Jiang He'er was confused.
"That man, Mr. Lang... is so young and energetic!"
"Is there a relationship between being young and energetic and being hot-tempered?"
"Of course, Qi Sheng...yeah!"
"Then I'll advise you later."
"It's a good thing, but remember not to try to persuade me outside."
"Where can I go to persuade you?"
"bedroom."
…
East Palace.
The guards lazily hid in the shadows and whispered gossip.
As for the person in the palace, in their eyes, he was just a living dead.
"How long will this be guarded?"
A guard asked with dull eyes.
Another guard leaned against the wall and crossed his arms, "This is an easy job! Isn't it good? I have to be exposed to the sun to feel comfortable?"
The guard shook his head, "I feel comfortable, but I always feel like my life has been in vain. It's like this every day, day after day, and I have no idea. So what am I doing with my life? Just to guard the prince?"
"How many people want to come but can't come!"
"Shit! Yeah, I'd rather go to the army than here."
"Just feeling bored?"
"Isn't that true? Think about it, we are just in a daze here all day long... If it weren't for you, I would be here alone, just here every day... Think about it, what's the difference between that and The Walking Dead?"
"Aren't we still here?"
"But you are here, isn't it the same?"
Everyone was silent.
yes!
Everyone is wasting their lives in vain.
"Hey!" an older guard sighed, "think about the troubled times when people's lives are not as good as dogs' lives, and you will feel how comfortable it is now. As for Kong Hu, the noble man inside is Kong Hu."
"Stand still!"
Someone drinks.
Everyone stood up subconsciously, strolling when they should, and patrolling when they should.
A chamberlain came with Yang Xuan.
"Your Majesty ordered the door to be opened."
"yes."
The door slowly opened.
Squeak...
The dark palace was gradually invaded by light.
The prince was sitting on the ground, his clothes dirty and messy.
He covered his eyes with his hands, squinted, and looked through his fingers. When he saw it was Yang Xuan, he spoke:
