The book continues from the last chapter. Emperor Suzong was worried about the war in the north. He drove to the Li Mansion in a strange way. The slaves in the Li Mansion did not dare to shout and knelt on the ground. Emperor Suzong saw Li Chong holding a sword in his arms. Li Chong listened.
It was the voice of the emperor. He quickly knelt down and shouted long live the mountain. Suzong said: "The sword in Shangshu Ling's arms is a good treasure. If I am not wrong, it is the property of the late emperor. The late emperor thought that you had made great achievements in vindicating your innocence, so I gave it to you as a reward."
"Qing"
Li Chong heard that the emperor still remembered the sword and was very moved and said "Your Majesty"
"Old dear, you are the pillar of the country. I also heard that you hung the sword in your wing for twenty-one years, which is better than my annual rings." Suzong said, counting the treasures.
Chong's eyes were full of tears, "Your Majesty, I have escaped from hell with the help of Your Majesty's great fortune. It's no big deal. I'm fine now. I still have to lead the army to put down the rebellion for Your Majesty."
Could Emperor Suzong be unhappy when he saw that he had such a minister? He looked at Li Chong firmly, perhaps happiness no longer represented his own mood, and said: "Old dear, you have just recovered from a serious illness, and you should rest more. I see that I love you
Your Majesty has turned the corner, and has nothing else to ask for. Remember that you are my sword, and your sword is not old now! It still shines with dazzling light, and you can still charge into battle for me!" Li Chong was moved that the emperor could condescend to his palace with the supreme dignity of an emperor.
When he came up to care about his old bones, he firmly remembered the emperor's words: "A treasured sword never grows old!" He also wanted to take this opportunity to talk about Dugu Ruyu, but he always felt that it was not the right time, so he put the topic down for the time being, and after careful consideration, he did not mention it again.
Emperor Suzong saw that his old minister Li Chong's condition had improved and his mood had improved. He returned to the palace and was about to go to bed when he heard the sound of crying outside the palace. The eunuch chief came in and saw that Suzong was not asleep, and said softly: "Your Majesty, Gao
Is the concubine seeking an audience outside? Look—"
"Didn't I say that I don't want to see anyone? I want to rest for a while and pass on my oral instructions: just say that I am tired and I won't see anyone." Emperor Suzong didn't want to hear the annoying things about you and me among their concubines.
He didn't want to ruin his hard-earned good mood. "Your Majesty, you are so cruel!" Before Zhang Jingshan, the eunuch in charge, went out, Concubine Gao walked in. When Zhang Jingshan, the eunuch in charge, saw this situation, he went out quietly and covered up the situation.
door
"Concubine Gao, can't I take a rest for a while?"
"Your Majesty, my concubine is here to disturb your rest. Am I not boring you anymore? I think you should expel me from the palace and ask me to be ordained and become a nun. I will be in Qingdenggu every day.
Praying for the Emperor in front of the Buddha." Suzong closed his eyes and rested, "Your Majesty, don't you care why I am here?" Concubine Gao knew that the Emperor would not take the initiative to speak, "Why are you here? I don't know, what did you say?
I am”
"Your Majesty, you have to make the decision for me," Suzong said in his heart: It's just as I expected, and she doesn't know who she wants to sue for. Let's hear for now, "Oh, tell me, who is bullying you?"
Concubine Gao said: "I heard from my brother that my brother-in-law was killed. He killed someone to pay for it with his life, but the murderer was at large. Does the emperor want to redress my grievance?"
He told the emperor that such a thing was unexpected by Suzong, "My beloved concubine, just let our police catch him and bring him to justice." "Your Majesty, he has been caught and brought to justice, and the murderer has confessed, but -
"Now that he has been charged and confessed, why are you here again? Do you want me to kill his whole family?" Emperor Suzong's tone was filled with anger. "I know you will not make decisions for me."
"" She said while crying, this move was quite cruel. After hearing this, Suzong opened his eyes and looked at her: "You can explain how I can't make the decision."
After hearing this, Concubine Gao felt happy and sent Dugu to the execution ground as she wished. However, she did not know how much money she spent to bribe Li Chong. She was about to execute him when he saw it, but Li Chong came and stabbed the prisoner and sent him away again.
Go back to prison and forcefully add your own nonsense to such a thing
When Suzong heard this, his original joy was suddenly thrown out of the sky. Li Chong was a capable minister. He was a general and a prime minister, but he was very clear about his greed. How could he be like this? He dared to use his power to stop him for a few coins.
Law enforcement? In anger, he fell out of bed and walked out of the palace, and came to the imperial garden to relax.
Suddenly a hurried little palace maid ran out from behind a clump of bamboo, and bumped into the emperor. The little palace maid had never seen the emperor before, and the emperor was not wearing a dragon robe at the moment. Since Suzong took office, everyone has kneeled down and down wherever he went.
But now the little palace maid glared at Suzong: "Where did this wild boy come from? Can't he walk without eyes? He bumped into this girl, why don't you come over and apologize!" In the eyes of the little palace maid, this young man is at best a prince.
His son's unwilling tone gave Suzong another sense of freshness, and the emperor's anger just now was mostly gone. "What are you looking at? Have you never seen a beautiful woman?" Emperor Suzong indeed looked at her in surprise, "I -
—" "Shocked, it was you who shocked me. Seeing that you left my flowers all over the floor, I tell you, don't be afraid. I am the personal maid of Queen Mother Ling. How can I be afraid!" Suzong almost heard this.
He laughed out loud and said: "I'm scared." "I'm really scared. That's fine, I'll spare you, but you won't be allowed to go to the Imperial Garden in the future. Except for the Emperor and you stinky men, you have no right to come here. This is
"A place where the emperor cultivates his moral character." Haha, Suzong laughed in his heart, it turns out that she doesn't know me, but she can still speak for me and argue for me.
"Girl, what's your name?"
"This sounds pleasant to my ears, and since you are quite well-behaved, I will tell you, Pan Wailian." After saying that, he started to pick up the flowers on the ground, took them in his hands, and winked at Emperor Suzong, looking eastward.
Gone
"Pan Wailian, I remember it!" Suzong muttered. He looked at himself and saw that he was not wearing a coat. He strolled out of the garden and looked back at Pan Wailing who was picking flowers. He looked like that among the flowers.
Beautiful and moving, a few cicada chirps covered up her laughter.
Zhang Jingshan, the chief eunuch, chased after him and knelt by the roadside, holding up his dragon robe. After a while, he heard that the emperor's anger seemed to have subsided before he dared to secretly glance up to confirm that the emperor's anger had subsided, and then said: "Your Majesty, sir
I'm afraid you might catch a cold, please put it on quickly."
The girl just now did give Emperor Suzong a different feeling. When he returned to the palace, Concubine Gao had left, but what Concubine Gao said occupied his thoughts again. He didn't want to be dizzy with these annoying things.
His brain was swollen and he changed into very plain clothes.
He led two guards and walked towards a place where there was no noise. When they arrived at the Imperial Garden, the guards followed the emperor's instructions and stayed outside. He hoped Pan Wailian would appear at this moment. Emperor Suzong looked around and took a beautiful picture with one hand.
face appeared in front of him
"Have you found your conscience and come back to apologize to me?" Pan Wailing asked with a smile.
"I can always come back and chat with you!"
"Hehe, to tell you the truth, it's so boring for me to accompany that vicious old woman every day. Are you the son of a prince?" Pan Wailing asked hopefully.
"So." Suzong felt a little unhappy when he heard that he called his mother a hateful old woman.
"I can chat with you, but there is a condition: you must take me out of the palace. I have never seen the outside world since I was in the palace since I was a child. This place is like a steamer." Pan Wailian's request was very bold, and ordinary palace maids
I dare not think about it
"Leave the palace -" Emperor Suzong couldn't believe his ears that a little palace maid would make such a request, "I'm afraid this is against the rules?"
"If you don't tell me the rules, and I won't tell you, what are you afraid of? You look like a coward!"
"Okay, since you said that, I will risk it!" Suzong admired this palace maid more and more. He asked her to wait here for a while. He walked out of the imperial garden in a few steps, ordered two guards to call his highness, and asked another one to call him.
The guards found a pair of ordinary clothes and brought them in for Pan Wailing to wear. The four of them walked out of the palace in a swaggering manner.
Pan Wailian was like a little bird out of its cage, so happy. This was the place she dreamed of coming to every night. She wanted to see the busy traffic outside, and didn't want to stay in the strict palace. The dazzling objects on the street made her heart-warming. Emperor Suzong was so happy.
Seeing her happy look made me feel a lot more comfortable. The four of us walked through the streets together.
This was the first time that Emperor Suzong had such a leisurely and elegant visit to Kyoto. Pan Wailing remembered that when he was young, he was sent to the palace. He once went to a stall and ate other people's scones. When he was paying, he found that his wallet was stolen.
, the embarrassed and enthusiastic female stall owner smiled. Not only did she not take her money, but she also advised herself not to care about the past. She walked towards Dongsheng Street, anxiously looking forward to the stall that had been operating for several years.
own business
The stall was still there, but no one was there. The four people stopped in front of the stall. The old man looked at the four people and asked: "Would you like to buy scones?"
The four of them saw an old man standing next to the stall, waving a fan.
Who is this old man and why does he want to talk to the four of them? Please stay tuned for updates.
