box of hearts

Chapter 79
Qi She used the same posture, smiled and put his other hand on Suhebaru's other shoulder, "You can be a man in the desert, and you can be a man anywhere, this skill was taught by Jianda. And the opportunity to escape from the desert under the eyes of the profuse Khan and display this ability was also given to me by Dangda. As for how I won the battle of Urza River back then, God knows, you and I know. If it is not for Dangda I was charged with the felony of treason and privately delivered military information to me. I was either wiped out by the prince’s troops, or I was defeated and executed according to a military order. Da thought that if Qi She promised you the right to do things entrusted to you in return for his kindness, he would be very wrong. The kindness that Da Da treated me was so profound and righteous that I would never be able to repay it in my life. Let’s put it this way, I remember one time when I was a child Wenda called me in the middle of the night, saying that the white wolf came again, and you were going to kill it. The eldest prince Buzhigude refused to go with you, and asked me if I dared to come with you? I put on my shoes and raised my knife I'll just go with you. There is no difference between now and that time, Qi She will accompany you to the end without asking any questions about what Wen Da wants to do."

A gust of warm wind whizzed past, and the two men tacitly clasped the back of the other's head with their hands, pressing their foreheads together.This action was extremely immature. In those years, there will always be a pair of foreign princes. One is strong and the other is weak. mutual respect.They all sincerely hope that one day they can stand together not only with the equality of personality, but also with the equality of strength. Today they stand together with a childhood posture and a life-and-death battle.In the vastness of the world, there are always some fates that can make people forget the emptiness and sparseness of life. This kind of fate exists between men and women, or brothers and brothers.

Suhebalu slid his hand down Qishe's head and neck to his back, and patted him hard, "I understand that girl Haskiqig, if a woman has been coaxed by your mouth, I really can't do it again." Other men."

Qi She laughed loudly, his eyes lit up by some green years, "How is she?"

"Keep chastity and never marry." It's always like this, the excellence of a good man is always decorated by the poignant beauty of many women, but because some of them are exceptionally good, it's hard not to dim your eyes and lower your voice.In a blink of an eye, Suhebaru cleared his throat and looked calm, "The reinforcements will arrive in two hours at most. Wenda has a rest, and I will send someone to escort you back to the country."

Qi She's eyes are also secretive and introverted, like a mountain cave with a treasure, "During this time, Wen Da can only rest and recuperate. I will make arrangements when I return to Beijing, and I will give you news a few months later."

Even the rain does not know the end of spring, only when it is sunny can I feel the depth of summer.There is still a cool breeze blowing in Saibei, but the inside of the pass is already warmed by the smoky wind. Every house is filled with flowers and flowers everywhere, and it is about to enter the sunny day.

3.
Before the sun rose in Beijing, there was a little light in the courtyard of the Ciqing Palace in the imperial city—the sarong that covered the lamp in the bedroom was taken down, and between the Suzhou embroidered bed curtain and the brocade silk quilt, the queen mother, the queen mother, and the queen mother Shi got up and accepted the greetings from the maids in bed.The crisp harmony sound spread to the outside, the martial law was lifted, and the palace door was unlocked.The maids of Siqin filed in one after another, and the maidservant of the rough envoy brought hot water to the door, and everything began to work in an orderly manner.

At the end of the Yin Dynasty, the Eastern Empress Dowager Wang, who had finished washing, was already sitting in front of the dressing table, and behind her stood the Maid Si Rong and the eunuch who combed her hair holding a makeup box.As the wife of a dead king, Wang is not suitable for beautification, so the maids only put a layer of jasmine fruit and pearl powder on Wang's face, but did not rub rouge. Updo, wearing accessories.From head to toe, from the inside to the outside, everything was ready, the maids just raised the curtains, and all the eunuchs waiting under the dripping eaves knelt down to say hello.

Wu Ran, the steward, put on a flattering smile and walked straight to the throne from outside the door. He saw the crescent moon steel ladle in his hand, and took advantage of the opportunity to ignite a small twist of velvet between his fingers, and blew on the paper medium with his mouth. The open flame ignited the tobacco.He knelt down straight, holding the cigarette bag in one hand, and brought the cigarette holder to Wang's mouth with the other.

After Mrs. Wang finished smoking a pot of cigarettes, the eunuch who served the food delivered boxes one by one, untied the Huang Yunlong cover outside the box, and put the hot breakfast inside in the same way on the food table: red rice porridge , fragrant glutinous rice porridge, coix seed porridge, eight-treasure lotus seed porridge, eight-treasure porridge, shredded chicken porridge, fresh soybean milk, beef bone marrow soup, sesame sauce sesame cake, pastry sesame cake, shredded radish cake, clear oil cake, white horseshoe, sugar bag, sugar cake , Jiaohuan, Fried Sanzi, Fried Huitou, Vegetarian Assorted, Braised Duck Liver, Braised Chicken Breast...Looking left and right as far as Wang's eyes can see, he puts dishes that are far away into the Huanglong dish in front of him.Wang's hands twisted the poisonous chopsticks, and he tasted everything lightly, and his smile was shallow, like a ray of hazy daylight floating around his mouth.

Wu Ran made some guesses at the side, then laughed boldly, "I wish the mother, the empress, and the elders in the same pavilion all the best today."

Wang cast a sideways glance at the pet supervisor, a Jingfu long golden phoenix hairpin in Jinghu's bun shone awe-inspiringly, even if it was ruthless, it was moving.

Xi Se jumped over the many palaces and towers and fell outside the inner palace and into the cabinet.In the main hall of the cabinet compound, there is a pair of wooden main plaques with clear paint, enshrining the sage Wen Zong and Confucius. In the value room next to the main hall, Wang Zhenghao, Wang Zhengting, and Wei Yuan stood up to greet them with solemn faces, "Yuan Fu Good morning, my lord."

Wang Chaezhao stepped into the room, his white beard and hair set off by the lacquered gauze headband and round-neck official uniform, his every move was full of dignity.Coughing loudly, he took out a handkerchief to cover his mouth, and immediately an officer brought a lacquered spit box.After spitting up the dirty phlegm, Wang Chaezhao raised his head and asked in a creaking voice, "I heard that there is a document that bypassed the cabinet, will it be kept?"

The eldest son and second assistant, Wang Zhenghao, responded quickly: "The words of Hui Yuanfu are the secret document written by the governor Meng Zhongxian, and they were directly handed over to the Palace of Compassion and Ning. I don't know what to say."

According to the usual practice, all memorials submitted to the imperial court must be drafted by the cabinet. This is the source of the cabinet ministers' privilege. "Staying in the middle" is the monarch's prerogative. The answer is that people don't know the truth, and the officials jokingly called it "flooded".And this kind of bad habit that the cabinet hates has happened frequently since the regent Qi She seized the power and authorized the eagles and dogs to perform the incident. After doing the same trick, Wang Kezhao couldn't help but snort: "What else can I say? The villain is making trouble! When the business is done, I will say that there is one less booklet handed over, and I will just ask for it from the west."

The third person in the cabinet, Wei Yuan, a scholar of the Hall of Martial Arts and Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, showed admiration, bowed his eyebrows and said: "If the business is done, there will be no more talk from the West."

Only Wang Zhengting, the third son of the Wang family, was speechless and expressionless, with a lump in his chest.

A hen-like guttural voice came from outside: "Everyone, the empress dowagers of the two palaces have heard you."

Wang Chaezhao coughed a few more times, everyone tidied up their coats and hats, and walked outside along the dew-soaked corridor into the hall.

The East Nuan Pavilion of Qianqing Palace has been well-arranged long ago: the imperial court sits facing east and west, the empress dowager Wang of the two palaces is in the south, and the empress Xihe of the west is in the north.Several servants stood holding their breaths, Jinqiu was under the building, and the jade beast squatted next to the door, blowing out fluff and mist.

The four cabinet ministers were introduced by the eunuch, and they all said "Kowtow", but only three of them fell to the ground and kowtowed.Standing majestically, Wang Quezhao raised his head and said, "The old minister has recently suffered a relapse of rheumatism, and it is inconvenient to kneel down. Please forgive me by the empress dowagers of the two palaces and the emperor."

The young emperor Qi Hong on the throne was taken aback for a moment. Historically, only senior members of the royal family were eligible to be exempted from the ceremony in front of the imperial court. Your own rules of courtesy?Although he was very unhappy in his heart, he was afraid of Wang Chaezhao's obscenity and did not dare to attack.

Behind the gauze screen, Xi He also showed hesitation, but she only took a puff from her nose, and disappeared without form or color.On the other hand, the Empress Dowager on the other side, as the sympathetic little girl of Wang Da's chief assistant, nodded to her father frequently, "Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Chief Assistant. Please stand up and talk." She raised her chin obliquely , Raised his eyes and stared, "Since the emperor's uncle, the regent, joined the government, our sisters have already withdrawn the curtain, regardless of the government affairs. What is the important thing today, and I am so sorry to invite you to come out of our Ciqing and Cining Palaces? "

The eunuch brought a purple elm and water Nan stool, and Wang Chaezhao sat down steadily and stroked his long beard, "Today's matter is related to the regent. Two months ago, the regent went to Biejing, and the palace was rebuilt. When the craftsman was renovating the floor of the Dongyuan bedroom of the Wangfu, he found this in the ground—”

Following his deafening cough, the two eunuchs worked together to lift a large brown box into the center of the palace, and opened the lid.

"What is this?" The Eastern Empress Dowager Wang shook Zhenwujin Boluo's palace clothes, the pearls were exposed and the treasure was contained.

On the opposite side, her old father coughed twice again and spit out two words: "Dragon Robe, Chaoguan."

The room was originally scorching, but this time it seemed that a big snowball smashed through the roof of the hall and fell straight down. It was huge and cold, and it was in front of everyone's eyes. I don't know if it will get bigger or bigger, or it will melt into nothing. .

After a moment of silence, Wang's pair of wonderful eyes hung from the temples like an actor, "Is this really true?!"

"Mother, Empress Dowager, and Empress Dowager's lesson is absolutely true." If it is really a play, Wang Chaezhao's old man sings in a calm, vigorous and hearty voice.

The next cabinet minister, Wei Yuan, was probably a buffoon, and hurriedly jumped out and beat the side drum loudly: "The two empress dowagers may as well inspect it with their own eyes. There are two sets of imperial uniforms, two sets of skirts, and a royal crown."
