Immortality starts from eating melons in the cold palace

Chapter 5 Hundreds of Officials Weep in the Imperial City (Part )
  Wangjiang Tower is a famous restaurant in Beijing. It is nine stories high and is a good place to climb up and enjoy the distant views.

Li Changsheng came to Wangjiang Tower and found a seat by the window.

"Waiter, here's a side dish."

"I understand, sir."

Li Changsheng opened the window of Wangjiang Tower and looked into the distance while eating side dishes.

Li Changsheng's seat, when the window is opened, faces the Zuoshun door.

Although the distance was far, it was not difficult for Li Changsheng.

Li Changsheng picked up the telescope, and all the civil and military officials from Zuo Shunmen fell into his sight.

Follow the left door.

All the officials knelt down and cried.

The leader was an old man in his sixties, with gray hair and firm eyes. But after kneeling for three consecutive days, his old face showed an uncontrollable look of fatigue.

This person is Fang Zhengxin, the Minister of Rites.

Fang Zhengxin knelt on the ground and looked at the imperial study room where Emperor Jingming was. His sharp eyes seemed to be able to penetrate the void and see Emperor Jingming in the imperial study room.

"Everyone, the Great Zhou Dynasty has been raising scholars for a hundred and fifty years, and it is today that we fight for justice and sacrifice."

"Today, we must let His Majesty take back his orders."

Fang Zhengxin raised his head and shouted loudly, showing a generous and righteous look.

"Today is the day when we fight to the death for justice!"

"Today is the day when we fight to the death for justice!"

"Today is the day when we fight to the death for justice!"

Outside Zuoshun Gate, the officials were in high spirits and impassioned.

The shouts shook the sky.

All the people in the capital heard it clearly.

After a while.

There was a creak.

Open the left door.

Emperor Jingming's eldest companion walked out of the palace with a slightly cold expression.

"My lords, Your Majesty has a decree."

"If Fang, the Minister of Rites, has an upright heart and is unfaithful, unfilial, unkind and unjust, he will be thrown into the sky prison."

"The rest of the people will all receive fifty sticks."

"The other people who were watching were all expelled by the Zajia family."

The edict came down.

The imperial guards in the imperial city arrested all the officials outside Zuoshun Gate like wolves and tigers.

"Dark Lord!"

"Hunjun!"

[You witnessed hundreds of officials crying in the imperial city. 】

[Please choose one of the two rewards below. 】

[One, Yi Jiazi is awe-inspiring and upright. 】

[Two, draw on the power of time, witness points +70. 】

Li Changsheng looked at the reward for choosing one of the two, and was not surprised.

Hundreds of civil and military officials cried over the imperial city. For such a big event, there must be many witnesses.

However, the witness points of Hundred Officials Weeping in the Imperial City were actually fewer than those of the Xuanwu Sect, which really surprised Li Changsheng.

"It seems that the Xuanwu Sect's influence is greater than I expected."

"Otherwise, how could there be 100 witness points for severing the orthodoxy?"

Li Changsheng muttered, his eyes moving back and forth between the two rewards.

70 witness points, a lot.

Therefore, he chose Haoran to be upright.

Haoran's righteous energy protects the body, all evil spirits are not invaded, and hundreds of ghosts retreat, which is extremely mysterious.

Haoran made an angry sound.

Like a swimming fish, it burrowed into the center of his eyebrows and remained motionless.

"Waiter, check out!"

Close the window and go downstairs.

When returning to the palace, Li Changsheng took another detour to Zuiyue Tower and bought a pot of fine wine for Master Wei.

That night.

News came from outside the palace.

Sixteen of the civil and military officials who were imprisoned died on the spot, and more than a hundred others were seriously injured.

The next day.

"Your Majesty has decreed that Concubine Rong is unfaithful and thrown into the cold palace. She will live in the eighth courtyard in the north of the cold palace." The male duck's voice sounded in the cold palace.

Concubine Rong, the daughter of Fang Zhengxin, the Minister of Rites.

Concubine Rong was not only relegated to the cold palace, but also had to be admitted to the North Eighth Hospital.

The North Eighth Courtyard was haunted from time to time, and none of the concubines who stayed there survived more than three months.

The Fang family is finished!

Concubine Rong is finished!

This idea suddenly popped up in the minds of everyone in Leng Palace.

"You are asking for trouble, and you are harming others and yourself!"

"Not only did he hook up with me, but he also hooked up with all the daughters of the family!"

Li Changsheng sneered and shook his head repeatedly.

It is simply inexplicable that people who are not forced to treat my father as their uncle.

Even ordinary people couldn't bear it, let alone Emperor Jingming.

The cause of the incident of hundreds of officials crying in the imperial city is too abstract in the eyes of a modern man like Li Changsheng.

Moreover, although Prime Minister Yang has all the power in the government and the public, he can dominate the sky with one hand. But there is absolutely no shortage of opportunists in officialdom.

There must be a younger generation of scholars who will seek refuge with Emperor Jingming and climb up over the corpses of their predecessors.

as predicted.

Everything went as Li Changsheng expected.

Three days later.

Zhang Cong, a Jinshi of the Ministry of Rites, wrote a letter asking Emperor Jingming to confer his father the title of "Emperor Huang Kao Gong Mu Xian".

Emperor Jingming was overjoyed and immediately issued an order to promote Zhang Cong to the right minister of the Ministry of Rites.

In the afternoon, another decree was issued to promote Zhang Cong to the position of Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Rites.

In the evening, another decree was issued to promote Zhang Cong to the position of Minister of Rites and Bachelor of Wenyuan Pavilion.

Moving three times in one day is a great honor.

Emperor Jingming finally made a comeback.

……

As Emperor Jingming made a comeback, Concubine Lan became the favorite in the cold palace.

Everyone knows that Concubine Lan will be out of the cold palace soon.

Li Changsheng went to give Concubine Lan a bath as usual, and saw Xiao Dengzi pouring night fragrance for Concubine Lan.

Isn't Xiao Dengzi responsible for cleaning the courtyard?
  Li Changsheng's eyes narrowed, thoughtfully.

"I'm here to pour night fragrance for Concubine Lan. I'm very ambitious. I want to hug Concubine Lan's lap."

"But what does this have to do with me?"

Li Changsheng chuckled and forgot about Xiao Dengzi's actions.

After bathing.

Lan Fei Lan exhaled slightly and asked.

"Xiao Lizi, I will leave Leng Palace tomorrow."

"How have you considered what I told you last time?"

Li Changsheng was stunned for a moment.

Concubine Lan actually wanted to recruit her.

He thought that Concubine Lan was joking, but he didn't expect Concubine Lan to be serious.

What does Concubine Lan like about me?
  Can't I change it?

Li Changsheng cursed in his heart, but his face showed a flattered expression.

"Your Majesty, my life is cheap, and I don't have the blessing to serve you, your Majesty."

"After leaving the cold palace, I don't know when I lost my life."

Li Changsheng knelt on the ground, trembling like a frightened little quail.

Being rejected again, Concubine Lan felt a little angry.

But seeing Li Changsheng's frightened look, he lost his temper.

She knew that Li Changsheng was right.

If she leaves the cold palace this time, she will fall into the harem whirlpool, and her life or death will be unpredictable.

Not to mention Li Changsheng, even she may not be able to protect herself.

"Ugh--"

"never mind!"

"Since you are unwilling to leave with me, then live a good life in the cold palace."

"Maybe one day, I will come to Leng Gong again."

"My dear, you are joking."

"Your Majesty is very fond of you, your Majesty. How can you be willing to let your Majesty live in the cold palace?"

Concubine Lan shook her head noncommittally.

"Come, give me some more presses."

Concubine Lan gave an order, which made Li Changsheng wonder if Concubine Lan was interested in his craftsmanship.

Gather gently, twist slowly, apply and pick again.

White, tender, fragrant, soft and big.

The next day.

The companion of Emperor Jingming brought Feng Zhu to the cold palace.

"Your Majesty has decreed that Concubine Lan is a virtuous and virtuous concubine, and she will be named a noble concubine."

Concubine Lan has left the cold palace.

Everyone in Leng Palace had already expected this result.

After a while, Concubine Lan was dressed in a bright red palace dress, looking graceful and radiant.

Her delicate skin seemed to be able to drip water.

Concubine Lan moved her lotus steps lightly, Pingping curled up, and sat on the phoenix.

"Put your way to Zhongcui Palace!"

The drake's voice falls, and the phoenix rises.

Concubine Lan's bumpy back disappeared from Li Changsheng's sight.

Also leaving with Concubine Lan was Li Changsheng's acquaintance - Xiao Dengzi.

After Concubine Lan left, Eunuch Wei asked in private.

"I heard that Concubine Lan asked you to leave together. Why don't you leave?"

"If I leave, who will provide for you, Eunuch Wei, in your old age?" Li Changsheng said.

"You kid, you are becoming more and more glib."

Eunuch Wei chuckled, feeling warm in his heart.

Although he knew that what Li Changsheng said was probably not true, he was still moved.

Who allowed these words to reach his heart?
