The emperor squinted his eyes, drew his bow and nocked an arrow, and shot an arrow past the head of a deer. The deer slowly looked back at him and continued to eat the young mulberry leaves next to it.

"Your Majesty, just add one more arrow and it will be done."

"It's boring. This captive-bred thing has lost its wildness, so it doesn't make much sense to shoot it, that's all."

The emperor put away his bow, and Zhao Agui took it easily: "Your Majesty, do you want to move to Xiyuan tonight?"

"Haha, what a slave. Honestly, how much reward did you get from Concubine Pei this time?"

Zhao Agui smiled flatteringly, "I can't hide anything from Your Majesty. I have indeed accepted the treasures rewarded by Empress Pei. Not only those from Empress Pei, but also other concubines and concubines. I dare not deceive Your Majesty! But I really can't find a reason to respond."

I'm a bitch, so I dared to ask His Majesty about his whereabouts."

The emperor stopped and looked up at the sky, "Do you think I have really reached the point where I can sit still and be pregnant? I really want to preserve my dragon body and live for a few more years. Now that I have a prince and a king, all of them can take charge of their own affairs, and the other thirteen

The prince is less than ten years old, so I am already content. By the way, Agui, tell me the truth, you haven’t touched a woman in these decades, do you think it’s interesting to live?”

Zhao Agui hesitated and said, "Write, slave, it's hard to say."

"Just say it and I will pardon you!"

"Although I have a lot less joy than ordinary men, I have been favored by His Majesty in this life. I have no worries about food and clothing. I have more money than I can use up. I eat delicacies from the mountains and seas and wear official uniforms of the third grade. It's so interesting. As for women

, in the slave’s hometown, many men are bachelors all their lives, but they live in poverty. Even so, they still try their best to survive.”

The emperor broke off the branches on the roadside and looked at the guarding Imperial Guards not far away: "Ah Gui, I asked you the right question today. I also want to reward you. When I asked other people before, they all said it would be better to die, but only

You said it’s interesting to live like this. I also thought about it a few days ago, what’s the point of living for thousands of years if I don’t engage in sex or sex with women? When you said that today, I think you’re right!”

Zhao Agui hurriedly knelt down and said, "What virtues and abilities can I have? I only have a heart that is loyal to Your Majesty, so I tell the truth in everything and never deceive Your Majesty. Your Majesty has thousands of miles of land, hundreds of thousands of troops, and tens of millions of people. They all look forward to Your Majesty's long life."

Woolen cloth?"

"Haha, I like to hear you flatter me! But you have already said that for the sake of the soldiers and civilians in this country, I don't have to be close to women. Well, just reply to me, ladies, and say that Your Majesty is not close to you, Zhao Agui.

You’re so lascivious! I’m giving you this great favor!”

Zhao Agui kowtowed repeatedly, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, slave, alas, I don't dare, I don't dare, please spare me!"

The emperor smiled happily, "I didn't punish you, but I still want to reward you. Why do you ask for mercy?"

Zhao Agui's head was bleeding and he was crying: "Your Majesty, if I go to report to the ladies according to your order, I will not be beaten to death by the ladies together. I am afraid that Concubine Pei will eat me. Your Majesty, I beg you."

!Please have mercy on Your Majesty, please have mercy on Your Majesty!”

The emperor ignored it and shouted to the nearest imperial guard, "I'm a little tired. Go back to Jiuji Hall. I'm going to do some Qing Xiu!"

Zhao Agui didn't dare to cry anymore, and slumped on the ground with his head downcast. The devilish internal manager was tricked by the emperor again today, and all the imperial guards couldn't help laughing when they passed by him.

When the last soldier passed by Zhao Agui, he stood up again and trotted all the way behind the emperor. "Your Majesty, I realize that I was wrong. I will go and return the gifts I received from all the empresses."

"Agui, what do you mean, am I poor or are the ladies stingy? Remember, you must report things that need to be reported to me in a timely manner. You can deal with all the ladies how you want.

Deal with it, accept the gifts and do nothing!"

"This, I understand, I understand! I will arrange for all the ladies to go to Yangzhi Tower tomorrow, and tonight I will take people out of the palace to hire a juggler's team! The day after tomorrow, I will arrange for all the ladies to go to Fanglin Garden to release paper kites and enjoy the flowers!"

The emperor patted Zhao Agui on the head, "It is indeed a human spirit. Yes, you can spend the money the ladies give you as much as you want, as long as you can coax them! Remember, there are people outside the palace, so don't cause trouble.

Sometimes I want to protect you, but others want to kill you. You have such a high position and authority! Haha."

"I don't dare, I don't dare. I will check with all my heart. I will strip off everyone's clothes and take a look at them!"

The auspicious day of the zodiac selected by the Qin Tianjian is June 18th, in fact, to give the inner palace and the outer court time to prepare.

It takes a month and a half to prepare the clothes and accessories of a prince alone, and the wedding of Prince Jin is also held at the Chongde Hall at the same time.

Let's make the standards of the prince and the king of Jin the same. This will offend the prince and the ministers behind him. If the standard of the king of Jin is lowered, he may be in charge of settling scores in the future.

Zhang Quande, the Minister of Household Affairs who organized the wedding, and Zhao Shouzhuo, the manager of the Nei Zang Treasury, were so worried that their hair was almost gone.

The prince repeatedly stated that he could use the same standards and ceremonies as the king of Jin, but some ministers clearly threatened that if Zhang Quande and Zhao Shouzhuo dared to do so, they would do their best to ruin their reputation.

Prince Jin was also very humble and said that he would only use the prince's standards and ceremonies. However, Prince Jin's palace chief Shi Wenqian privately told Zhang Quande that Princess Jin was very concerned about this wedding. If she was wronged, she would definitely hate the person who organized it in the future.

After much deliberation, Zhang Quande and Zhao Shouzhuo had no choice but to go meet the emperor. They really had no choice.

"I have to ask His Majesty for instructions on this formal ceremony. I hope His Majesty will give you clear instructions, otherwise we may not be able to survive!"

"I hope your Majesty will have mercy on us two. We are so stupid that we really didn't do this job well."

The emperor looked at the pitiful looks of the two of them and sighed, "It's really difficult for you. It's always difficult for those who do things, but it's easier for those who talk! I am the most fair, and you two will stop this matter. I

Today we have decreed that the prince Zhan Shi Song Siyuan and the chief minister of the Jin Dynasty Shi Wenqian will be responsible for the formal wedding ceremony and other matters."

Zhang Quande and Zhao Shouzhuo kowtowed repeatedly to express their gratitude and left the palace gate.

After the ministers learned of the emperor's new decree, they scolded Zhang Quande and Zhao Shouzhuo for not understanding the general situation and for wanting to cause trouble.

"You two have evil intentions. You know clearly that the officials in the East Palace and the officials in the Jin Palace are in the same position, but you push your errands to them. Aren't you trying to cause trouble and bring embarrassment to the court?"

"Seeing that you are honest, you are actually like a snake and a scorpion in your heart. You deliberately provoke a dispute between the crown prince and the king of Jin, so as to bring disaster to the country and the people! We will definitely impeach you two!"

Zhang Quande and Zhao Shouzhuo had no choice but to hide at home every day, and the ministers actually made excuses to impeach them.

Song Siyuan did not engage in a verbal dispute with Wen Qian. Instead, he gathered the officials of the East Palace to read the classics, and also asked the doctors from the Imperial College to compare with the Daliang rules and perfect the prince's formal ceremony.

The prince's dragon robe could only use a four-clawed golden dragon, so Song Siyuan and the others covered the entire dragon robe with this golden dragon to prevent it from being covered by the python robe of the King of Jin, because the python body could be embroidered larger.

Wen Qian from Prince Jin's Mansion racked his brains and couldn't come up with a good idea. After all, the prince's clothing had been restricted. Princess Du Ruohong of Jin gave an idea.

"Lord Changshi, if you compare the specifications with the prince, you won't be able to match them. The East Palace will naturally use what is available to the extreme! We can't compare with them in nobility, so we simply don't compare. A little red plum blossoms in the snow are better than the various spring charms.

"You are a scholar, don't you understand this?"

Wen Qian was surprised. He didn't expect that a girl from a small place like Mizhi could say these words, so he was in awe. "Princess Jin has great advice and can wake up the dreamer with her words. Wonderful, let's

The elegant, simple yet festive setting for His Highness the King of Jin is even more eye-catching in the magnificent hall! The old minister knows how to do it! Our King of Jin is as calm and gentle as he is elegant. With this simple and elegant style, it is both

Not overstepping your bounds gives those people in the East Palace an excuse and can overpower them. It’s so satisfying to think about it!”

"You can't fight with me if you don't want to fight with me. Lord Wen, if those people in the East Palace like to fight, let them fight. We will follow the temperament of His Highness the King of Jin and don't fight with us! What do you think?"

Wen Qian blushed for a while. He didn't expect that after studying all his life and fighting with the officials of the East Palace for decades, his knowledge was not as good as that of a seventeen-year-old Princess Jin. After listening to Jun's words, it felt like he had spent decades studying in vain.

Crown Princess Chen Suye is also giving advice to the prince at this moment, but it is not about the wedding, but the news she got from her cousin.

Chen Suye's cousin Yu Hongyao was Yu Wanli's daughter. Some of Yu Wanli's remnants who fled back to Luoyang went to Yu Mansion.

After Yu Wanli's wife heard what happened in the Western Regions from her subordinates, she fainted on the spot. Yu Hongyao's brother Yu actually shouted that he wanted to go to the palace to redress his grievances, but Yu Hongyao stopped him.

"If you want to survive, don't enter the palace. Brother, didn't you listen to Uncle Erhu? Some of the people who came back with them went to the Ministry of War and the General's Mansion respectively, but there is no news yet. If redressing grievances was useful, I'm afraid there would have been a decree long ago.

coming!"

"Then our father's death was in vain? If it doesn't work out, I will go to the Western Regions to avenge that evil thief myself!"

"That's enough! Daddy has thousands of elite soldiers, even if he is no match for Zuo San, are you going to die alone? It's never too late for a gentleman to take revenge! Now we can only pretend to know nothing and wait for news from the court!"

Several veterans who stayed in the mansion also advised Yu Jing not to be impatient. The matter was too important. If Yu Jing ignored the overall situation and directly revealed the matter, the emperor might directly turn to the left third prime minister and declare Yu Wanli's rebellion. Then the whole family would be shocked.

Life is not guaranteed.

Yu Jing gritted his teeth so hard that they bled, "Doesn't the imperial court distinguish between right and wrong? Doesn't the emperor distinguish between loyal and traitorous?"

"The imperial court only cares about interests, and the emperor only recognizes reality! The third prime minister Zuo was promoted by the emperor, and he is from the palace of Prince Jin. The emperor loves Prince Jin, don't you know? And this third prime minister Zuo conquered Luntai to expand territory, and the imperial court

Who can move him now? What's more, the Third Prime Minister Zuo is holding the most elite troops of the imperial court to fight outside. Even if he wants to deal with him, it is beyond his reach! His Majesty the Emperor may have known about this for a long time. The reason why he has not issued an order must be

He has his considerations!”

Yu Hongyao's analysis made Yu Jing sit on the ground for a long time, unable to speak.

At this time, the pension documents from the court arrived, along with several large boxes of gold and silver jewelry. Chao Lun, the director of the Ministry of War who came to provide the pension, looked at the red-eyed Yu family and understood what was going on.

"I have fought for my country all my life and died in battle, shrouded in horse leather. I am a hero. I hope that you will inherit the legacy of the great protector and report the emperor's favor. Well, please do your duty as a son and a son. Don't dishonor the honor of your father! Remember this!"

Especially don’t misbelieve rumors and cause trouble!”

Yu Hongyao immediately understood that there was something behind the words of the head of the Ministry of War, and pulled Yu Jing to kneel down to thank him.

Yu Hongyao told Chen Suye about this not to ask Chen Suye to avenge her father, but to ask her cousin to remind the prince to be careful of the Jin Palace.

The people in the Jin Palace are good at killing generals and still have military power. If something unexpected happens to the emperor in the future, the possibility of forcing the palace to rebel and seize the throne is too high.

Military power has always been a shortcoming of the East Palace. Li Xiaofei, the only subordinate officer in the East Palace who could fight and hold military power, went to sea.
