His Majesty once married me

Qi Yunheng was approached by those legendary outsiders on the way to lead the army into Beijing.

The first to appear were two men in Taoist robes with immortal demeanor, claiming to be the disciples of the Kunlun Taoist sect, because Qi Yunheng was about to enter the capital, and their Taoist sect would be in charge of the appeasement of the capital of the dynasty, so they came here specially to meet with Qi Yunheng. contact.

Qi Yunheng was dubious at first.

But the fact that the two of them appeared quietly when he was alone has already explained a lot, and they did not ask him for anything under the pretense of being an expert outside the world. Instead, they presented a detailed map of the capital including the imperial palace, as a to explain their responsibilities.

After the conversation, Qi Yunheng learned that the appeasement they mentioned refers to the yin and yang of the world, demons and ghosts, spells and poisons... such extraordinary things beyond ordinary people's imagination, as for the mortal world's chickens and dogs, burning, killing and looting, and power disputes... People don't even care about it.

But as the two said, they were only here to make contact, and there were other people who really wanted to be stationed in the capital.

On the second day after Qi Yunheng led the Dongshan Army to besiege the capital, a real person surnamed Shen came.

As far as appearance alone is concerned, Shen Zhenren doesn't have the temperament or bearing of a high-ranking person. Not to mention his appearance is very ordinary, his chin is also smooth, and he can't even see the stubble. He wears a short-breasted Hu suit, with a metal box on his back that he can put himself in, and two wooden boxes, one large and one small, one on the left and one on the right.

But the two fairy-like Taoists who were in charge of contacting him respected this person, calling each "Master Uncle" one after another.

Not long after Shen Zhenren arrived, the two Taoists who were in charge of contacting left and disappeared as quietly as when they came, leaving only Shen Zhenren and Qi Yunheng staring at each other with big eyes and small eyes.

Then, Qi Yunheng discovered that this real Shen Shen seemed cold and frosty, but in fact he was just dull and taciturn. When he really got in touch, he was far better at dealing with them than those two contacts with immortal spirit.

On weekdays, this real Shen Shen only guarded his one-acre three-quarters of land, closed the door and tinkered with some strange objects that people could not understand, neither alchemy nor preaching.All the palace servants sent by Qi Yunheng were sent back by this Master Shen, and there was no need for three meals a day to be provided in the palace, only the clothes on their bodies would be damaged from time to time, and they needed to be provided by Qi Yunheng on a regular basis.

Even these clothes, Shen Zhenren never wore them in vain.

As a reward, when Qi Yunheng asked him to help with something, Master Shen would not be perfunctory.

It was like this when divination of the life and death of Xinghe Emperor last time, and this time, it was the same when Qi Yunheng asked him to identify the blood of the prince and daughter.

After hearing Qi Yunheng's appeal, Shen Zhenren told Qi Yunheng bluntly that he did know a method of blood test, but this method can only detect the blood inheritance within three generations, and cannot distinguish the blood that was judged by the method of blood test. Whether the two people who are relatives of the same clan are father and son or grandson.

But the Qi family has been passed down for three generations, so this flaw is completely irrelevant to Qi Yunheng.

Knowing this, Master Shen nodded in agreement, and further negotiated with Qi Yunheng, setting the time for the practice to be on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

Saying goodbye to Master Shen, Qi Yunheng led a group of attendants back to Taihua Palace.

Just about to call Ji Hong, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, into the palace to discuss how to arrange the matter of inviting Shen Zhenren to perform the ritual, Qi Yunheng raised his head, but saw Wei Gongzheng walking towards him holding a book.

"What is this?" Qi Yunheng asked suspiciously.

"During the banquet yesterday, His Majesty ordered all the courtiers to speak freely, to offer advice and suggestions for Huaguo, to speak out all the wishes and thoughts in their hearts, and also ordered us to record what your lords said—as you wish, without missing a single word. , all in it." After speaking, Eunuch Wei put the booklet on the case table.

Qi Yunheng suddenly felt dizzy, but after a moment of pondering, he still stopped Eunuch Wei, "Keep this thing, I'll take a look at it slowly, first you send someone to the Ministry of Rites to invite Shangshu Ji Hongji."

Eunuch Wei has been by Qi Yunheng's side all the time, and he knows exactly why Qi Yunheng is looking for Ji Hong, so he immediately bowed to his promise and took the order to leave.

Only then did Qi Yunheng pick up the books on the desk, and flipped through them with a mentality of seeing death as if at home.

This thing is Qi Yunheng's "masterpiece" after being dazzled by strong alcohol, and the group of courtiers who responded to this call drank more than him, and were even more drunk than him-the pride expressed in this state Ambition, it really doesn't matter if you don't even need to look at it to make people have no expectations.

The result was just as Qi Yunheng expected, most of the courtiers were patting their chests to express their loyalty, only a small number spoke the truth after drinking, and said some nonsense that would definitely strangle themselves to death after waking up.Of course, there are also very few people who really have lofty aspirations, expressing extremely beautiful but also extremely unrealistic grand wishes such as "the tiller will have his land, and the home will have his house".

——Fortunately, I'm not too drunk to lose my mind, so I just let them speak out, and didn't promise to fulfill them.

Qi Yunheng wiped off the cold sweat on his head, but then found something surprising in a bunch of absurdities and clichés - Zhu Bian, who has always insisted that everyone is drunk and I am sober, actually also participated in it, leaving a line " Invite the imperial husband to attend the Great Court Meeting" proposal.

Qi Yunheng couldn't help being stunned for a moment, thinking about it carefully, and finally remembered that the imperial husband Ouyang was indeed mentioned in yesterday's small banquet. Taking this as an opportunity, Zhu Bian somehow said: "I thought Your Majesty would bring the imperial husband out today. Meet us." The other confidants immediately used Jiu Jin to encourage Qi Yunheng to go to the Summer Palace to invite someone together with Zhu Bian.

But Ouyang was not in the palace at all at that time, and Qi Yunheng was not too drunk to get carried away, so he used "the imperial husband suddenly returned to Beijing, the climate is not acclimatized, and he is not feeling well" as an excuse to postpone the meeting.

However, I don't know whether Zhu Bian drank too much, or had some ulterior plan. He even proposed to let Ouyang participate in the grand court meeting on the fifth day of the junior high school, but there were a group of drunks around him. Raise your hand.

Qi Yunheng remembered that he vetoed it on the spot, but Zhu Bian blocked his veto back by saying, "Could it be that the emperor is shameful?"

——Damn it!

——What the hell is this guy thinking? !

Qi Yunheng rubbed his temples, and decided to bring Zhu Bian along, to be frank and honest.

Qi Yunheng was busy here, but he didn't forget Ouyang in the summer palace.

After lunch, Ouyang met the eunuch in charge and the two eunuchs who were sent by Qi Yunheng.

The eunuch in charge, surnamed Pang Mingzhong, was originally a cook in Qi Yunheng's army.Knowing that Wei Yan had cut off his unusable descendants and entered the palace as Qi Yunheng's chief eunuch, Pang Zhong, who was originally Tianxie, immediately moved his mind, imitated the example, and changed his future with face.

Pang Zhong, who was born as a cook, had a round face and was slightly chubby, which made Ouyang wonder whether Qi Yunheng was selecting eunuchs based on the same chubby housekeeper Zhuang.

But Pang Zhong is not as vicious as Steward Zhuang, and he does not have the guts that Steward Zhuang has cultivated after getting along with Ouyang day and night. After expressing his loyalty, he put on a posture of seeing people's hearts for a long time, allowing Ouyang and the people around him to scrutinize and scrutinize him.

Along with Pang Zhong, Huangzhuang's information was sent, which was not as complete as Ouyang requested, but it was much higher than the minimum limit of "land deed".

Ouyang flipped through two pages casually, then raised his head, and said to Pang Zhong: "I don't have much to do here—at least not yet, your main task is to negotiate with the harem, and keep an eye on the personnel related to that side. Objects, don’t let people or things that shouldn’t appear into the summer palace. As for how to do it, you must have been taught before you came here, so I don’t need to worry about it.”

"Master, don't worry, the servants will definitely not disappoint the master." Pang Zhong responded immediately.

Ouyang didn't say a word about Pang Zhong's promise, but there was no use for him at the moment, so he immediately waved his hand and asked him to kneel down with his two followers.

That night, Ouyang heard another piece of news from Qi Yunheng that shocked him.

"Attending the court meeting? Me?!" Ouyang held up his chopsticks, so surprised that he forgot whether he wanted to add food or eat, "Are you joking?!"

"It's just to show your face in the past, and you don't need to do anything." Qi Yunheng held Ouyang's hand holding chopsticks, and rescued the chopsticks from the tense state, "A courtier suggested this, after thinking about it, I also think it should be so. The double eaves are not concubines in the harem, let alone something shameful, and I am sorry for you without a canonization hall, how can I keep you in the deep palace and see the light of day?"

"You didn't lock me up like a prisoner!" Ouyang was really not interested in such a boring and complicated occasion like the Dachaohui, and he didn't think it would be so glorious to show up on such an occasion.What's more, only the emperor can sit alone in the court meeting, and the rest of the people have to bow three times and bow nine times, and then stand helplessly for half a day—at least half a day, and it's from the time the sun has not yet reached. Start counting when you take the lead.

Ouyang didn't want to get up early, nor did he want to stand until his legs were numb, and he didn't want to kowtow to Qi Yunheng three times.

"It is precisely because you have not been locked up that you need to show your face in public!" Qi Yunheng held Ouyang's hands, and said the truth helplessly, "If the courtiers don't remember your face, in case Where will we meet in the future, wouldn't it be easy for them to bump into the double eaves without knowing it?"

Ouyang was speechless for a while, and could not help but secretly slander: So you are not thinking about me, but for your courtiers!

It is undeniable that Qi Yunheng does have concerns in this regard.

His imperial husband's temper is really not good.Although it seems much calmer now than it was ten years ago, who knows when the old disease will relapse and you will turn back to donkey face?However, there was a new day in the capital, and a batch of honorable dandies in the capital also changed. Knowing that he, the imperial concubine, was not easy to mess with, there were really very few of them.

If there is such a day that there is a mess of thunder and fire, no matter how much he defends Ouyang, he will inevitably have to work hard to clean up the aftermath. Just don't happen.

When Qi Yunheng talked to this point, Ouyang couldn't find any reason to shirk it, so he could only reluctantly agree.

Ever since, the next day, Ouyang had no choice but to wake up early.
