15.6

Zhao Bixuan saw the opportunity to mention the title of the matter, see the emperor just pondered and did not oppose, then sent a message to the home, let his father to ask to seal the son of the folding handed up. Zhou Yunsheng saw them really follow their own path, can not help but laugh a few sarcastic laughs, a wave of the pen, allowed, but also Zhao Jidong directly promoted to the fifth rank from the Hanlin Academy of the Minister of Science.

The imperial decree arrived at the Wen Yuan Marquis’ residence, the Fang Clan and the old Wen Yuan Marquis were ecstatic, but the Li Clan and Zhao Xinran and others were furious, and hated that they couldn’t send people to fight on the marquis’ residence, to make a fish death net.

“My poor Xu’er ah, clearly is your title, but by that up son of bitch forcibly taken away, after you grow up in the future can be how in the capital foothold! The saint is stupid, even let the concubine over the head of the main room, the concubine son took the title of the first son, treat the clan etiquette as nothing, how worthy ……”

“Enough!” Not waiting for Li to finish howling, Zhao Xuan interrupted with a gloomy face. He was also in a very bad mood right now, for Zhao Bixuan’s slut, Qi Yining had disregarded worldly manners so much that he wanted to tie him up and teach him a good lesson. However, no matter how angry he was, he couldn’t afford to listen to others denigrate him.

“Dare to criticize the Emperor, how many heads do you have? This kind of words should not be mentioned again in the future, otherwise I can’t protect you. In the future, my title will be passed on to Xu’er, if you’re not comfortable with that, I’ll submit a request.” He lowered his eyes and rubbed his trigger finger.

“You’re giving the title of Duke of Yu to Xu’er? What about your heir?” Li was shocked.

“I will not have an heir, and it is just right for the title to be passed on to Xu’er.”

“How can you not have an heir? What do you mean, don’t you intend to marry and have children? Or did you injure yourself while fighting at the border? My son, how could you have such a miserable life!” Li’s successive questions, more and more feel that their last guess is true, can not help but pounding the chest bawling.

Zhao Xinran retired after the brother’s arrangements for another marriage, the man’s official position is not high, but on no high hall under no brother, around the side of the clean no concubines, moreover, is the brother’s subordinates, since he is loyal to him, listening to the words of obedience, married in the past is the head of the family’s main wife, no concubine in the way, there is no concubines to mess up the days not to mention how free. Now she also look away, heard the noise rushed over to comfort her mother, learned that his brother was injured to the point where he was unable to conceive an heir, but also from the sadness, lying on his mother’s shoulder silently weeping.

Six-year-old Zhao Xu caught a cricket passing by, walked around the duo a few times, and wooed and cried as well, calling a group of servants a good deal of hand-wringing.

How miserable Zhao Xuan in the mansion did not want to pay attention to it, and walked on the busy streets with a gloomy face. He thought about whether to take advantage of the night to touch into the palace, that person stripped the clothes to teach a good lesson, the more he thought about it, the more there are countless charming thoughts and evil thoughts floating in his mind.

“Brother Zhao, would it be possible to come up for a drink?” Suddenly hearing someone summoning from above, he raised his eyes to see that it was Prince Gong Qi Jin Yu.

Because of a childhood origin, Prince Gong has always been very close to him, often slipped out of the palace to find him to play, left a Zhao big brother right a Zhao big brother called very affectionate, the body is not at all Prince of Pride, even want to make friends with his peers. He was looking for a gap to climb up, then you and I have some. This friendship is a political investment, and in the end did not get a return, but the Sheng Emperor all the way to promote the reuse, only today’s Yu Guo Gong. Zhao Xuan how arrogant this person also know the reasoning of repayment, naturally will not easily by Prince Gong enlisted, not to mention that now sitting on the throne is his heart and mind to seek and can not be the person. He is personally destroyed him, will not let others deceive him half a point.

Zhao Xuan laughed coldly within his heart, but his face slightly softened as he walked into the restaurant. This is the largest and most elegant restaurant in the capital, the architectural pattern is in the shape of a tic-tac-toe, four simple and atmospheric buildings wrapped in a garden full of exotic flowers and grasses, sitting upstairs while enjoying the food and enjoying the scenery, the taste buds and the spirit can be greatly satisfied. The garden is decorated with a few pavilions, with weeping willows on all sides, a gentle breeze, and a pleasant view. To dine there, it costs ten taels of silver to reserve a seat alone, but there are many dignitaries competing for it.

“Why don’t you dine in the pavilion?” Zhao Xuan and Qi Jin Yu had been to the Food Mansion a few times, and each time they had feasted in the garden, the second floor had never been patronized.

“That place is booked.” Qi Jin Yu laughed.

Zhao Xuan’s eyes flashed slightly and he laughed, “Oh, which immortal descended to earth to make the shopkeeper not even buy the face of your hallowed Prince Gong.” Although the words were asked this way, he had already guessed this person’s identity. Remembering his bright eyes and scarlet cheeks, he couldn’t help but secretly sigh with relief – it really was the gods and goddesses of the Nine Heavens who descended to earth.

“Who else could there be.” Qi Jin Yu pointed to the top of her head, her meaning self-evident.

It’s the right place to come. Zhao Xuan picked up his wine cup and sipped it lightly, satisfied in his heart.

“Then again, the imperial brother this time to rectify the three armies, in a few days it should be the turn of the Northwest Resident, Zhao big brother, you still early preparation for the good. Zhao big brother in the northwest of the head to spill blood, used to seeing the open sword, since I do not know the court battle is how the dark tide of intrigue. See how many people lost their heads in these several court cleansings, not to mention the courtiers, even I am on edge, trembling with fear, for fear that one day I will be liquidated.” Qi Jin Yu drank a cup of wine with a mournful face.

These words were meant to disassociate Zhao Xuan from Emperor Sheng, warning him not to stand with Emperor Sheng, so beware that the birds are all hiding; secondly, they were also meant to pull an ally for themselves. Qi Jin Yu has worked hard for three years to set up, even the most beloved woman was folded into, see from the supreme position closer and closer, but did not expect Sheng Emperor suddenly went crazy, and even three or two just out of the wings of his cut off all. He was amazed at the other side of the strategy, decisive means of killing, and on the other hand, extremely reluctant.

Zhao Xuan let out a low sigh when he heard this, but in his heart, he sneered in disbelief. This person had just counted on him in the front foot, and then came to pull him in the back foot, don’t you think that people are fools~? If it was in the past, in order to seek excitement, he might have pushed him a bit, but now it was absolutely impossible. The only person in the world who can move that person is him, if the other person tries to reach out, he will definitely make him pay a painful price.

Thinking about it, downstairs came the sound of friends and family, the two put down their glasses and looked down, but Zhao Jidong led a group of elegantly dressed scribes came in, in the small two led in the beautiful pavilion seats. And waited a small moment, a young man wearing a green Confucian shirt hand holding a fan slowly walked in, so that the noisy hall was suddenly silent for a moment. Officials and dignitaries were silent because they recognized the identity of this person, ordinary diners forgot to speak but because this person’s appearance is really outstanding.

His long figure has the posture of the pine and bamboo, temperament dignified frost and snow pride, a jade-colored face handsome, a pair of dark eyes brilliant as a cold star, with the gentle breeze into the step, it seems to be like the clouds driving mist, end is a heartfelt. The hall diners are not in the heart of the great praise a wonderful person, and so he walked far away, Fang a few nobleman back to taste, want to go up to salute.

Zhou Yunsheng waved his hand and pointed to the Confucian shirt on his body, implying that they were on a visit today and should not reveal their identity. Several people bowed their backs and nodded their heads, slightly expressing their respect.

As early as the moment before he came in, Qi Jin Yu lowered the bamboo curtain in the compartment to prevent him from seeing it. Zhao Xuan stood behind the bamboo curtains and admired the man from up and down through the cracks, seeing that he was dressed elegantly and walked with the wind, he couldn’t help but let out a cold laugh. This is only a few days, even began to attract butterflies, do not know how to check, obviously is a good scar forget the pain, in the beginning should not be because of love and forgive him these days.

Isn’t he a flirt? Then let him have his fun.

Qi Jin Yu heard Zhao Xuan’s sneer full of evil thoughts and thought that he was displeased with Qi Yining, his heart bursting with joy. The elegant room where the two of them were located was directly opposite the pavilion, so they only needed to glance sideways to catch a glimpse of everything in the pavilion. The man walked over and patted Zhao Jidong’s shoulder who stood up to greet him with his folding fan in a very intimate manner. The scribes were captivated by his appearance and demeanor, and like all the people in the hall, they were silent for a few breaths, and after coming back to their senses, they all chatted with him.

Because the late emperor extraordinarily valued looks, but all the handsome officials, promotion speed is always faster than their colleagues so some, and a few of the emperor’s son in particular, he especially loved the looks of the world’s third son, in order to promote him at all costs to force the empress will be adopted in the knee, to give him a son of a first name, and after the death of the last decree to let the third son of the emperor to succeed the throne, with the words of the modern people to describe — Ya is a face control. Ya is a face control. As the saying goes, the people of Daqi inherited the former emperor’s love of beauty, always treating the beautiful people with extra tolerance and leniency, and attaches great importance to their own appearance, not only the women are heavily made up and colorful brocade clothes, even the men are often powdered hairpins, eyebrows and eyes, flaunting the city.

I’ve seen many beauties, but it’s extremely rare to see someone as beautiful as this. The crowd look and Hui Yi Princess has seven or eight points similar to Zhao Jidong, and look at the visitor, have to sigh in their hearts that this is the real first beauty of Daqi. They have already forgotten that the late emperor had also praised the third prince, and only need to think deeper, it is not difficult to guess the identity of the visitor.

Soon there were people who came back to their senses and showed expressions of awe, but there were also a few who were so mesmerized by the beauty that they fainted and kept urging each other to drink. Zhou Yunsheng knew that his lover was watching him from the second floor, and that burning line of sight was about to burn a few big holes through his clothes. How is he feeling now? I’m afraid it’s hard to scratch my heart and lungs when I can’t see and eat, isn’t it?

Thinking about it, Zhou Yunsheng heart a burst of sour, but all people toast to the wine are not to be refused. Zhao Jidong originally intended to help him block the wine, but saw that he was quite excited and then stopped. Drinking to a slight drunkenness, someone proposed a poetry contest, which immediately received a warm response from the crowd.

“On what subject?”

“Take the person as the subject.”

“What man?”

“Anyone present.”

“Good, this is a novel question.”

After some discussion, the people ordered the shopkeeper to bring the four treasures, and move the dishes on the table to spread a layer of felt, pen writing. These people are the most famous scribes in the capital, the talent is extraordinary, not two quarters of an hour to stop writing one after another. Zhou Yunsheng walked over to take a closer look, his face suddenly darkened. Zhao Jidong was worried that someone to the emperor as the subject of writing some unpleasant pornographic poetry, see his expression suddenly changed in his heart immediately hit a jolt, was about to go over to ask, but saw the emperor did not say a word and flung his sleeve to leave. Lin An followed behind him, with hidden anger in his eyes.

Waiting for people to go away, Zhao Jidong picked up his last look at the poem, his face suddenly became pale. He will be the culprit severely scolded, know that this kind of poem, even if the emperor knows is in the description of their own will not be set on the body, the heart of the fire is certain, but also will not make a big fuss about the liquidation, so, today at last is to save the last bit of face. Tear the rice paper to pieces, he left in a rage, thinking that after going back, must give a letter to the sister, let her help in front of the emperor to plead for mercy, Wanmo anger himself only good.

“What do you think that person wrote?” Qi Jin Yu had a gloating smile in her eyes.

“It’s better not to know about this kind of thing.” Zhao Xuan lost interest, and after sitting for a brief moment, he excused himself and left, walking to a secluded dark alley and raising his hand to gesture at the void. Immediately, a man in black appeared out of thin air and attached himself to his ear and whispered.

The pink light is still like the face, Zhu color is not better than the lips. Remote see suspected flower hair, smell know the different spring …… good a obscene – words wave – sentence, vertical son dare! He laughed hideously, ordered the black-clothed man to find the scribe just now, will be his ten fingers broken, be sure to let him this life even the pen can not come up, the end of the sneak behind Qi Yining, will be his side of the guards entourage are lured away, and then will be knocked out and taken away.

Zhou Yunsheng woke up in front of a dark and heavy, the neck is more painful, can not help but gnash his teeth and hate that person’s hand is too heavy, just want to get up but found himself weak, seems to be in the soft tendon scattered a kind of magic ~ drug.

“Awake?” A low, husky voice rang in his ear, followed by the words squeezed through his teeth, “You’re pissing me off today.”

“Who are you, how dare you lay hands on me three times, when I find out, I will make your life worse than death!” The best way is to suffocate you! Zhou Yunsheng hated within his heart.

“Life is worse than death? Good word.” Zhao Xuan smiled in a deep voice and asked, lifting the wine pot in his hand, “You like drinking a lot? You also like composing poems? I’ll write one for you to listen to. There is a beautiful person Ruoxi, see the not forget, one day not see Ruoxi, think like crazy …… when to see Xu Ruoxi, comfort me beside, not in the fly Ruoxi, make me fall. I have fallen for you, can you feel it?” Zhao Xuan held his sheep~soft and powerless hand and placed it on his own wildly beating heart, and at the end of the day, he brought the wine pot to his mouth.

Zhou Yunsheng smelled the smell of wine and quickly shifted his head to avoid it, but he was still hard to fill his mouth, and some of the wine choked into his windpipe, causing him to cough violently.

“You even, hold, such a dirty mind towards me, you, denizen, ten thousand times don’t let me catch you!” He threatened brokenly.

Zhao Xuan was silent, gazing at his reddened cheeks from coughing with an infatuated gaze, guessing that if he were to draw off the black cloth covering his eyes at this moment, would he see crystal clear teardrops sliding down. That scene must be beautiful. He used his fingertips to slightly press~press the cloth, and indeed touched some warm wetness.

“You are so beautiful. If you weren’t so confusing, would I have become what I am now? You should be blamed for not attracting butterflies. Do you still remember what I told you when I left last time? It’s only been a few days and you’ve caused trouble again.” Zhao Xuan reprimanded in a deep voice while continuously pouring wine into the emperor’s mouth.

Zhou Yunsheng was choked several times, even his nostrils were seeping with wine, it was really a bitter experience. However, what was even worse was that he gradually lost his ability to drink and became drowsy.

“My heart pleases you, do you please me?” Zhao Xuan inquired in a seductive manner.

“Mutant~!” Zhou Yunsheng struggled to maintain his last shred of clarity.

Zhao Xuan didn’t understand what change~pervert meant, but once he heard it, he knew that it wasn’t a good word, and immediately laughed in anger, feeding him spirits into his mouth mouth mouthful after mouthful, pulling off the black cloth after he fell asleep, kissing his eyelashes that were wet with tears carefully, his chest overflowing with pulsating tenderness.

“The only time you are most well-behaved is at this moment.” He hummed and laughed, wrapping the man tightly in his outer shirt and sending him to a carriage parked in a dark alley. Lin An was introduced into the dark alley by the man in black, and when he realized that the Emperor was lying unharmed inside the carriage, he burst into tears of joy. What’s going on here? Why is it that the Emperor of Daqi has been taken away several times? If that thief is found, he will be broken into pieces!

Zhou Yunsheng woke up to find himself lying in the Qianqing Palace, with a bright yellow gauze tent above his head, surrounded by the seemingly endless fragrance of ambergris. He held his forehead and half sat up, feeling a throbbing pain in his temples one after another, he could not help but secretly cursed a foul language.

Lin An heard the commotion and hurriedly ran into the temple to apologize.

“Get up. Today’s matter must not be publicized.” The Empress Dowager’s family was still staring at the throne under his ass, and if the news of his disappearance spread, not only would the Empress Dowager not look for him, but she would also immediately unite with the courtiers to elect Prince Gong to the throne. I think Zhao Xuan also knew about his concerns before he became so reckless. Damn, even he got drunk, causing him to be confused not know what’s going on, under the eyes of the recall, only feel a beautiful dream, and then to think about it but a blank slate.

The heart is extremely irritated, Zhou Yunsheng hate to hang Zhao Xuan upside down and whip some, however, after probing 008, found that he tied himself once every time to enter a string of source code, and then feel psychologically balanced, the heart of more than a few times there is no harm.

Zhao Xuan went out with a gloomy face, but came back with a joyful smile, and his rare gentle smile scared the Li’s a few times.

“What are you looking at me for, eat.” Seeing his sister looking at herself with grief-stricken eyes, he knocked on the dishes and then spoke cautiously, “You don’t need to fight for the Marquis’ side of the family business, in the future just draw a line with them. My previous words about passing the title to Zhao Xu were not false, the folders have already been written and will be presented to the Emperor tomorrow.”

“Xuan’er, are you really unable to have an heir?” Li asked with tears in her eyes.

“Well, unless that person can give birth to me.” Seemingly remembering something interesting, he actually laughed a few times lowly, his eyes full of mirth.

Such a gentle and amiable elder brother, Zhao Xinran and Zhao Xu had never seen before and couldn’t help but look dumbfounded.

Li’s keyed in the words and asked anxiously, “She gave birth to you? You have a favorite? Quickly tell mother, mother will help you tomorrow to propose marriage. Regardless of the other side of the family, noble or commoner, we do not care.” My son is almost thirty years old, and he has a tough nature, and even the gods and Buddha have to retreat when they see his bloodthirsty aura. But where he is willing to marry, Li’s not dare to be picky at all. Now that she has learned that he is physically unhurt, the last trace of grief has dissipated.

“Mother, don’t worry about it, I have my own plans. He’s quite stubborn, he still needs to be tempered~tutored~tutored again.” Zhao Xuan smiled when he remembered the scene where that person cursed at him in a sheepish voice. Obviously drunk beyond human form, but still stubbornly letting out harsh words, how could there be such a wonderful person in the world? He really didn’t know how to love her.

He shook his head and smiled lowly again at the thought.

Li and Zhao Xinran looked at each other and only felt several layers of goosebumps all over their bodies. Such a tender and affectionate son (elder brother), they had never seen before, could it be that they had been possessed by an evil spirit?

———-

In a few months, the Empress Dowager saw her son more and more sidelined outside the court, and gradually became an idle prince, heart very anxious, and hastened to give the decree to let him advance the wedding. Luo Zhen is the Minister of the Ministry of Justice, deep roots in the dynasty, connections are very wide, with his help, the son can also re-accumulate some power.

Qi Jin Yu heart is very reluctant, for the sake of the future and have to from.

However, what he did not expect is that the original very favorable to the marriage of Luo Zhen, now also up remorse. The emperor some years ago addicted to female – color slack dynasty politics, making the court inside and outside the chaos, he is extremely disappointed, deeply feel that the late emperor picked the wrong person. If the emperor has not been awakened, Daji’s disaster of praise Si’s chaos will be close at hand. He understands the intention of the Empress Dowager for Prince Gong and his own daughter’s marriage, weekdays secretly observe, but also think Prince Gong is a can be made, if you give him five or six years time to grow, may not be unable to replace the Emperor.

But it seems that overnight, the emperor came to his senses, with a thunderous force to clean up the court, more rare is that he does not kill innocents, leaving reuse are people with real talent. He was particularly tolerant of talent and had his own set of concepts for employing people. He subverted the teachings of the saints, in the reuse of wise ministers at the same time will not alienate the villain, he put them in the most appropriate position, let them for the court, for the country, to play the greatest utility. He is very opinionated, will not trust the words of any courtiers, so will not fall into the trap of bias. Serving for such a wise and valiant emperor is undoubtedly a very secure feeling.

Now the Sheng Emperor’s planning in the tent, victory in a thousand miles away, not to mention Prince Gong is still young, that is, out of thin air, let him grow up a dozen or twenty years old, but also not Sheng Emperor’s opponent. If the Empress Dowager still expects Luo Zhen can pull Prince Gong a hand, or help him on the throne, he will never agree, even dare not think more. Therefore, now Luo Zhen on this marriage quite a headache, thought if you can catch ~ what opportunity to return it is good.

However, he also realized that this was a whimsical idea, and he could only force himself to prepare the dowry for his daughter. As the divorce was approaching, his daughter was attacked by roving bandits while going out to pay homage to the Buddha, and was almost captured. Fortunately, an official returning to the capital to report on his duties happened to be passing by, and with many powerful soldiers with him, he was able to repel the bandits and save her.

As soon as Luo Lan returned home, she fell seriously ill. Luo Zhen searched for a famous doctor for her on the one hand, and secretly investigated the matter on the other. Because the Emperor has recently been frequently rectifying the courtroom, and also greatly cleaned up the heart of two-minded military generals stationed in the capital, so that the original hidden turbulence in the capital area has become particularly harmonious and peaceful, and there is no disaster in the nearby counties, so how could there be a stray pirate for no reason?

A few days later, the results of the investigation were sent to Luo Zhen’s hands, causing him to be shocked and annoyed. It turns out that the daughter of this black hand is not someone else, but his own niece, Duke Jing’s second daughter Luo Wen. She has long been on Prince Gong’s heart, thinking that Prince Gong and Prince Gong are cousins, close relationship, and is the first daughter of the Duke of Jing, noble status. If the Empress Dowager was planning to choose a concubine for Prince Gong, she should have chosen her.

I never expected that the Empress Dowager had directly skipped over her to pick the second house of Luo Lan, so that since childhood has loved to compare with Luo Lan Luo Wen is very unfair, which hired a few ruffians disguised as bandits, Luo Lan plundered away for a few days. A few days later, she came back, since the reputation of the body is broken, the reputation of the girl is ruined, the title of the Prince Consort will fall on her head.

Luo Zhen took the investigation report and read it over and over again, as if he had eaten hundreds of flies, generally disgusting. After all, this matter is a family scandal, it is not good to stab out, he can only take a load of evidence to go to his elder brother, hoping that he will be strict with his daughter in the future.

Duke Jing’s character is narrow and short-sighted, otherwise he wouldn’t have been able to teach a daughter like Luo Wen. He repeatedly assured that he would severely punish his daughter, but in reality, he was secretly strangled.
