Big businessman and little fisherman

Chapter 370 Drinking
No one knew what the emperor and General Zhou had said in the front hall.

While the two were talking, even Eunuch Cheng and others were kicked out of the front hall, leaving only the emperor and General Zhou inside.

Lu Yange read the rest of the memorial in the apse, but he couldn't help feeling anxious when the emperor didn't come back.

When she sent someone to investigate, she learned that the emperor had sent someone to prepare a meal, saying that she wanted to have a drink with General Zhou.

It is not too late to prepare meals at this time, there is only one possibility, Zhou Yang does not use Chinese food.

"Your Majesty also drank?"

Lu Yange frowned slightly, this is not Lu Hebei's character, he is very careful about his body now, let alone drinking, he doesn't even drink tea.

He just wanted to keep his own body, and protect them as much as possible day by day.

Now, the second brother actually wants to drink with General Zhou. Is there any happy event?Worth his joy?
"General Zhou said that His Majesty is not suitable for drinking alcohol. It is better to replace wine with tea, but His Majesty refused. His Majesty said..."

The small table that was talking back and forth carefully glanced at the princess's expression before continuing, "Your Majesty said that today's happiness should be explained."

Happy?

Why are you happy?

Lu Yange couldn't think of why the emperor was happy. Could it be that there was evidence of the rebellion in Prince Qing's residence?Or, what better news did Zhou Yang send?

Perhaps, Brother Huang is just using this as an excuse to drink.

That's it, that's it.

Lu Yange thought of the emperor's body, and thought of him counting the days and waiting to die alone, that kind of feeling is not something ordinary people can bear.

Since the second brother wants to drink, let him drink. It's rare that he is interested, and it's rare to have someone to accompany...

People can't do nothing because they are afraid of death, so what's the point of living?
On this day, Zhou Yang drank with the emperor in the palace until Wu Jin fell.

When the palace was about to be locked, Zhou Yang left the Tai Chi Hall with slightly staggered steps and left the palace.

The emperor only drank a glass of wine this time, but it made his cough worse.

On the day before the Hungry Ghost Festival on July [-]th, Prince Rui of Prince Qing's Mansion was arrested for attempting to rebel.

There are 230 people in Prince Qing's Mansion, the males are executed, and the female relatives and children under the age of four are all exiled to Nanman.

There are many mountains and forests in Nanman, and wild animals, poisonous insects, and miasma can be seen everywhere in the forest.

In addition to the locals, outsiders are vulnerable to wind and evil because of the rainy and foggy area, and they are easy to get sick, let alone this group of women and children.

The people from Prince Qing's mansion hadn't arrived at Nanman, and I heard that dozens of people died on the way, and among them, none of Prince Qing's young grandchildren survived.

There were only a dozen or so female relatives left, who stumbled and barely made it to Nanman.

As for whether they can survive in Nanman smoothly, it depends on their own luck and providence.

Some people say that the current emperor is so cruel that he will not spare even the only royal relative.

It is said that Prince Rui of Prince Qing's Mansion rebelled, but no one knows whether Prince Rui rebelled or not.

Maybe it was the emperor's deliberate intention to exclude dissidents. It's a pity that King Qing and his sons and grandchildren originally thought that they went to Beijing to enjoy glory and wealth, but they didn't expect that when King Qing's brother died, he became the sword of his nephew. Down with wronged souls.

There are also people who say that today's sage is wise and decisive, and that the prince breaks the law and commits the same crime as the common people, even if he is the uncle of the emperor, as long as he dares to spy on the great merchant, he will be killed without a whole body.

What's more, since the new emperor took office, the prosperity of the Shang Dynasty has been smooth, the country is peaceful and the people are peaceful.

All of this did not affect Lu Hebei who was resting in the palace at all.

Lu Hebei's health has not been very good since he suffered from the wind and cold last time, and he recovered slightly after taking medicine intermittently for several days.

Above the court, the ministers only felt that the king was becoming more rigorous and cruel.

In the harem, the queen was taken care of more and more properly. The little prince studied and practiced calligraphy in the Tai Chi Palace every day, and even the emperor brought the little prince with him when he went to court.

Going to court at five o'clock, let alone a child as old as the little prince, even ordinary adults can't bear to get up so early.

But Lu Hebei insisted, he thought that the sooner the little prince can be diligent in governing, the sooner the younger sister can be freed.

If the little prince waits until he becomes an adult, and then entrusts him with the power of the Great Shang Dynasty, then my sister will have passed the age of Huaxin, let alone marrying, and even having children will be very difficult.

Because of Lu Hebei's insistence, the side halls of the Taiji Hall were specially sorted out, and the little prince lived in them.

In this way, when it was the turn of the early court, the little prince could climb up to the Golden Luan Hall with the emperor.

During the ceremonies of the emperor and ministers, the little prince was sitting by the side.

A small person who wants to pretend to be an adult, but it's a pity that he is still young, sitting on the side of the emperor, and is made even more petite and cute by the lining.

Most of the time, the little prince can sit quietly and listen to his father and the ministers discussing the court affairs.

A few times the little prince was a little tired from sitting, and even fell asleep lying on the dragon chair. The emperor hugged the little prince to discuss matters until the morning was over, and he didn't even let Eunuch Cheng who was on the side want to take it.

If the emperor dotes on the little prince so much, the empress should also go to sit there often, but the emperor not only did not go to the empress's Jiaofang Palace, but stayed in Lu Zhaoyi's Yuehua Palace day and night.

The emperor's operation made many people confused.

If you say that the little prince is the only child of the emperor, born from the womb of the empress, he is the most noble prince.

It is understandable that the emperor prefers some, not to mention that the empress is pregnant again.

But the emperor loves Lu Zhaoyi so much, so he stayed in Yuehua Palace this night. I heard that sometimes he would ask for hot water two or three times a night.

According to such frequent visits, Lu Zhaoyi's pregnancy is just around the corner.

But the days passed day by day, and seeing that the queen was about to give birth, there was no movement from Lu Zhaoyi's side.

Some people couldn't help but hope rose again, and the voice for the emperor's draft was getting louder day by day.

Not to mention the girls from the princes and ministers' families, even those common people who heard about Lu Zhaoyi felt that there was hope for their family to climb the dragon and become the phoenix.

For those who have daughters and nieces who are waiting in the boudoir, some people come to propose marriage, and they all say that the daughter is still young at home, and they want to stay for two more years.

In the middle of Beijing, the number of married couples decreased a lot.

"Tsk."

Lu Hebei flicked his fingers on a few portraits on the side, raised his eyebrows slightly, "That's it!"

The Empress Dowager remained silent, the portrait was personally delivered to her.The emperor is unwilling to draft, and if the queen mother insists on relying on her son, this matter is a bit unjustifiable.

The queen with a big belly lowered her eyes and said nothing, no emotion could be seen in her dark eyes.She was about to give birth, and her grandfather had asked her father to bring her a message, telling her to wait for the delivery with peace of mind, and leave the rest alone.

This beauty picture was sent to the queen mother by someone. As long as she is a queen, she should do her part. As for whether the emperor wants to draft or not, and how many concubines he chooses, it has nothing to do with her.

Only the little eunuch standing behind the emperor looked at the portrait and muttered in his heart.

No wonder the emperor doesn't like it, Huan Feiyan and thin in this portrait are indeed pretty good looking.

But in terms of beauty, compared with Lu Zhaoyi's prosperous appearance, it is really far behind.
