King's man

Chapter 1 Entering the Palace

The evening sun lazily shines on the whole earth, it has lost the scorching enthusiasm at noon, showing a little tiredness.The earth still has residual heat.The Hall of Cultivating Mind is indescribably cool.A man in Tsing Yi bowed into the Hall of Cultivation of Mind with a serious expression and walked in a hurry and lightly: "Your Majesty, the people from the Minister's Assistant are fighting with the people from the Uncle's House!" The one who arrived frowned slightly, and asked slowly, "What's the matter?" "Actually, it's just for an actor. Mr. Qingping from Tan Qingyuan is very famous in the capital." At this point, the man in Tsing Yi looked carefully at the emperor's expression After hesitating for a moment, Fang continued, "Uncle Guo appreciates me very much, and I want to take him over to sing in the afternoon. Unfortunately, the son of the assistant minister also met Qingping too late, and there was an appointment. The two sides were at a stalemate." No, the servants in the mansion are always domineering, so they fought first."

In fact, the emperor didn't care about this matter. In the huge capital, there are always so many people fighting and fighting every day. Even if the court orders officials to have disputes, it can be big or small.But when he heard the name "Tan Qingyuan", his heart was inexplicably moved.However, the hand holding the book remained steady as usual.The dust in the sun floated gently, but that peerless face gradually became clear in front of my eyes.The pitch-black pupils, the blurred red lips, are glamorous and vivid in the snow.It was a winter afternoon, and it was so cold that even the bustling city was so cold and quiet.He has lived in the palace for a long time, and he also wants to take a look at this city of heaven like his inspector.It was the man in Tsing Yi, Qu Guang, who accompanied him.When he entered, Tan Qingyuan was performing "A Dream in the Garden". Pingting was a woman, her brows and eyes were dark, but her cherry lips were lightly parted and her eyes were slightly sad, half lonely, half deep, half shocked, and half bewildered. "It turns out that there are so many beautiful purples and reds blooming all over the world, but it seems that they are all ruined by the ruins of the well." The voice changed from clear and clear to soft and soft, and it was like a sigh when it stopped. "What's the day for the beautiful scenery on a good day, who's house is the place to enjoy the pleasure?" The voice was clear and gentle, with a bit of bewildered ups and downs, revealing traces of resentment. "For you, like a flower and a beautiful family, like a year like water", the voice is lingering and lingering, indescribably lingering and tender.He watched her every move intently until the end.When it was about to end, the garden was silent, but when she saw her gentle waves and breath, her eyes deepened, suddenly like a glimpse in the darkness, and the morning light suddenly appeared, he met her gaze, as if wrapped in a rope and locked, his eyes were like So chasing, unable to move away, he looked deeply into her eyes, sinking like an abyss.He felt a chill, it was snowing!A clean white layer has been laid on the ground.Snow is flying all over the sky outside, I don't know when it will start, and I don't know when it will end.He didn't stay any longer, turned around and left as if fleeing.As far as the imperial palace, those dark pupils and blurred red lips were still beautiful and vivid in the snow, so vivid that they could not be waved away.

Not only is the lingering sound lingering for three days, but the figure of Pingting appears from time to time.For a whole month, his heart was tormented by contradictions, but for a high-ranking emperor, wouldn't this be too absurd, he laughed at himself in his heart, and gradually settled the man in his heart.It was brought up again at this moment, and suddenly he couldn't suppress the urge to see him any more. The thought was so strong that he couldn't restrain it, so that he was going to say "this matter will be discussed at the court tomorrow", but what he blurted out was "bring him into the palace." Come!"

The story begins with this sentence.No one knows what kind of mood the emperor thought of the original sentence when he was dying a few years later.

The next morning, the court hall was surprisingly quiet. The leading minister did not know how the emperor would deal with the dispute with the uncle's mansion yesterday; the uncle thought that what happened yesterday deeply hurt his dignity as an uncle. , still sighing secretly; other people or those who are good at flattering are also confused because they haven't figured out the holy intention this time. According to their well-informed information, the emperor didn't summon the new actor who entered the palace yesterday, how the situation remains to be seen Wait and see, it's not good to speak out; there are also officials who follow the way of doing nothing and governing without seeking merit but seeking to have no faults.Anyway, all the ministers had their own concerns and were silent for a while.Little did they know that their majestic emperor sitting on the dragon chair was also thinking about his own thoughts.In ancient times, the hometown was more timid, and as an emperor who could rule the people, he would also be timid.The more I want to see, the more afraid I am.So, in this early court, amidst the loud and clear "Retirement——", the monarchs and ministers woke up and retreated separately.

The emperor summoned Qingping.No, he didn't summon them alone, he led all the concubines of the Sangong and Sixth Court to the Imperial Garden to listen to the play, except for the imperial concubine who said she was ill.Such a mighty team seems to be cheering for their own fear.She is still walking slowly, her clothes are stylish, her temples are still high-cut, her eyebrows and eyes are picturesque.The woman on the stage, with her charming, romantic and high-spirited appearance, almost overshadowed the three thousand beauties in the harem.There is only one person on the stage with a happy expression, the Queen Chen Huilan, with round almond eyes, a slightly plump figure, a beautiful and delicate face, eyebrows like spring mountains hidden in the evening, eyes like autumn ponds with clear waves, noble and elegant in demeanor, dignified and peaceful when sitting, and peaceful in temperament. People are as pale as chrysanthemums.In this scene, she was the only one who noticed the strangeness of the emperor, and found that his expression was sometimes focused, sometimes restless, sometimes excited and sometimes sad.

The emperor summoned Qingping alone, it was already the third day after he entered the palace.The morning dew is still fresh, the flowers are red and the grass is green, the morning light is bright and bright, and the air is fresh and pleasant.The king in the Hall of Cultivating Heart watched Qingping approaching, his eyes brightened, this was the first time he appeared in men's clothing, the delicate and charming in the play, but it was a different kind of suave and romantic, the plain clothes brocade The belt is as clean as white snow, with a smile on the corner of the lips, as warm as a gentle spring breeze.Seeing him getting closer and closer step by step, at that moment, the heart that had struggled for a long time suddenly settled down.He instantly understood that all of this was predestined.

Qing Ping stepped into the Hall of Cultivating Heart, saluted, and looked up at the emperor who was said to be the emperor, the supreme king of a country in the world, Yang Xian.I found that he was not as serious and scary as I imagined, with a noble look inherent in his brows, and he did not hide his heroic and dignified appearance when sitting, but there seemed to be a touch of loneliness in the corners of his eyes, which seemed to be hidden.When the eyes met, I felt that the person in front of me was very familiar, and the phoenix eyes of that person looked slightly, seeming to be smiling, implying majesty, his eyes were burning, bright and dazzling.He hurriedly lowered his head, his heart skipped a few beats, it was his first time meeting the Holy Spirit, yet he felt familiar.He didn't know that the moment he lowered his head, the man's gaze also dimmed.

"Do you have siblings?" Yang Xian asked.

"Caomin is an orphan. He has been wandering around with his master since he was a child. He has no home, no brothers and sisters."

"I have two brothers, both of whom have passed away. I also have a younger sister who married far away in Nan'an. In this palace, I have only myself."

"Come here and sit beside me."

Looking at Qingping from such a close distance, one can see that his eyebrows are like ink paintings, his eyes are like lacquer spots, his teeth are bright and bright, and his expression is bright, but his lips are a little thin, but the curve of his lips is soft like petals, making his eyes round and round Exquisite, like peach blossoms in March.At this moment, Yang Xian found that he was also watching him, without any fear in his eyes, and no one had ever looked at him with such a level eye, which aroused his interest, and the idea of ​​testing him came up in his heart. "Young Master Qingping, I don't know what your real name is?" "Qin Yi." "Yi'er, come and take a look for me, my neck is itchy." Qingping was sitting on his left, and he was pointing to the right to say itchy, at this time Qingping leaned over to get so close to him, but outsiders saw it as a hugging gesture, very ambiguous, Qingping didn't realize it, he even He didn't notice the smug smile on the corner of Yang Xian's mouth.When he noticed the abnormality, the emperor's right hand was holding his shoulder, and he whispered in his ear, "Yi'er, from today onwards, you are my man!" Qingping's shock was no small matter, but human beings Unable to break free in Yang Xian's arms, his face blushed immediately.When Yang Xian saw his blush cheeks, his skin was delicate and gorgeous like a sunset, it made people feel refreshed.Seeing that he was in embarrassment for only a moment, he still raised his head and said neither humble nor overbearing: "Caomin only sings opera, and can't do anything else!" Yang Xian laughed loudly and let him go.

This Qingping wandered around with her master Ji Yan and settled down in the capital. Ji Yan not only has profound attainments in opera, but also has a bit of business acumen, so he led the Sandalwood Opera Troupe to open the Sandalwood Garden, and within a few years Qingping became famous. It was popularized, and even the whole theater troupe was widely spread. Tan Qingyuan's business is getting better day by day.In the past few years, Qingping has also come into contact with many high-ranking officials and dignitaries, most of them are people who look well-dressed, speak benevolence and morality, but are greedy and lustful in action.At this time, he would always refuse neither humble nor overbearing. The rejected people heard flattery every day, and most of them were furious after being rejected by him. In fact, thanks to Master Zhou Xuan, he finally did not encounter any major troubles.Strange to say, the more he is like this, the more powerful people he visits and visits, and his attitude of treating people equally wins a kind of balance.However, the emperor is worthy of being the current emperor, and his actions are unmatched.Can control his destiny, but never treat him lightly.

After a day, Zao Chao Shi was completely different from the last time.Murong Su's words were like a stone stirring up a thousand waves, causing the entire court to be full of voices.In fact, Murong Su was just an introduction, but the ministers had planned it long ago.

Just the night before, the day the emperor summoned Qingping alone, some of them had already had a secret meeting.The location is the Dongwang Mansion in the south of the city, headed by Feiyao, Minister of the Ministry of War, Gu Yingsui, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, Nie Xuanji, Director of the Ministry of Households, and Yushi.These officials previously thought that the emperor's tricks into the palace were just a move to deal with the dispute between the minister and the uncle, but now they have finally come to their senses, and are worried about their failure to guess the holy will, and the road to conferring the emperor is still far away. And sadly.Dong Wang didn't have these worries.On the first seat, he looked at the steaming tea leisurely, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, giving people a feeling of being away from right and wrong, leisurely and at ease, and his eyebrows and eyes were quite gentle.It was still Fei Yao who threw a brick and said: "Just this morning, the emperor summoned Qingping, and the behavior of the two was ambiguous."The other ministers were originally dejected. After thinking about it for a while, they realized that it was not that their inferences were not precise enough, but that the current emperor's behavior style was too weird and unexpected, so he forgave himself in a second thought.After Fei Yao said that, everyone immediately discussed.

"All the concubines in the emperor's harem are outstanding in appearance, not to mention the empress' mother-in-law, who is noble and elegant, and has a gentle and peaceful temperament that wins the hearts of the people; even the charming concubine in Meixiayuan is said to be graceful and charming, and she has a heart-stopping smile. Who can resist such a beautiful man? But he is not favored." The person who spoke was the director of the household department.

"It's normal for Concubine Lan not to have won the holy family because of her young appearance," Gu Yingsui, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, received, "It's just that the imperial concubine of Meixue Palace should be favored. The empress dowager's niece, with deep blue eyes that seem to be flowing with waves, and slightly parted red lips, is as gorgeous as three spring peaches and plums. Her talent, richness, beauty and beauty can be called the first in the harem, but in name, her treatment is already higher than that of other concubines , His Majesty's attitude towards him is also calm."

"Concubine Yu Yumei was favored for a while, but after hearing about that incident, the emperor never set foot in Yueying Garden again. It's a pity that such a future has been ruined!"

"It has been more than a year since that incident, but the emperor has never visited any of the concubines again. As a result, the harem is abnormally quiet, and all the beauties have nothing to show. Such a thing is still happening now!"

"That is, we proposed a beauty pageant several times, but he repeatedly shirked it. There are even rumors secretly circulating in the streets and alleys that the current emperor is doomed to have no heir. The harem full of beautiful women can't hold the emperor's heart. Who would have thought that he would fall in love with a man?" If the emperor acts like this, he fears disaster for the country!" When Fei Yao spoke again, his tone of voice could no longer conceal his concern for the country and the people.

At this time Dong Wang finally ended his silent smile, "This matter is too absurd. How can my Zhongping emperor have no descendants! How can my Yang family have no successors! The fact that actors are favored will cause endless disasters to the country and society, and cannot be tolerated." At this time, our loyal ministers and good generals should bear the responsibility of the country's destiny and the wishes of the people, and try our best to prevent such things that damage the country's constitution!" Dong Wang made a passionate statement, sweeping away the wealth and leisure in his conversation, but he had a kind of strategizing and commanding Qianjun's self-confidence makes people have to believe, and they can't help but follow.For a while, all the ministers were encouraged and full of confidence.

So there was a commotion above the church. "Your Majesty has no offspring, so why do you raise a male pet privately?" Murong Su asked bluntly with a stern face, and the clear voice echoed throughout the main body hall.In fact, he was not on the agenda last night, but he felt that the willful and eccentric behavior of the emperor was better than before, and it was becoming more and more unbearable.

"Your Majesty should put the country and the country as the most important thing, and apply even rain and dew to the harem, so as to give birth to dragon sons early!"

"Your Majesty, be honest with the government and send out actors. This is the wish of all people!"

"I admonish Your Majesty to put the overall situation first and send the actor out of the palace!"

In the beginning, you and I competed to persuade each other, and the admonitors felt more and more that they were upright and upright, so they became more and more bold, and their words became more and more fierce. Later, various forces tended to merge into a deterrent The mood of the heart:

Your Majesty, please put the country and people first!

Your Majesty, please put the country and people first!

Your Majesty, please put the country and people first! ——The country and the people are the most important! — All people are important! -Heavy!

Sitting on the emperor's seat, Yang Xian was a little flustered at first.Soon he settled down again.This is not the first time that the officials collectively launched an attack, and he has already figured out a way to deal with similar situations: At this time, it is impossible to argue with the power of a pebble; it is useless to suppress it as an emperor; It would be detrimental to the emperor's majesty and dignity if he walked away; the only feasible way out of desperation was to deal with it coldly.This actually greatly exercised Yang Xian's patience. For example, at this time, the officials below were very emotional, but he was very calm.The officials felt that their enthusiasm was neglected and their loyalty was betrayed, which hurt them very much. This also inspired their tragic feelings of sacrificing their lives for righteousness and leaving their names in history, so they became more excited and worked harder.The result is that no matter how strong people are, they will get tired sometimes, not to mention that they have not been in labor for a long time, and they are not that strong.In the end, the energy has declined and the momentum has gradually weakened.When they were exhausted and almost disappointed, their king, who had been recuperating all his energy, lost no time in saying: "The assistant minister and the uncle of the country indulged in slavery and made trouble. According to the laws and regulations of our court, the ministers who have made meritorious deeds could have been punished lightly." , but the impact of the matter is bad, this case cannot be opened. You two will be fined for half a year's salary, and all the retainers who participated in the fight will each have [-] slabs, as a warning to others. Retire!" Those ministers were messy in the wide hall.

Of course, even though Yang Xian left, although the court retreated early, the matter was far from over.In the next few days, he claimed that he would not be sick, but the memorials came one after another, like the tide in Qiantang and the sky and snow, and they kept knocking on his heart. In fact, he was still very young.He stayed in the imperial study all the time, the only time he went out was to look for Qingping, and he was filled with righteous indignation without exception.They are all pushing me, how can I still have a bit of the dignity of an emperor.They don't take me seriously at all. The servants and ministers are all the same!And that Murong Su is really disgusting, you said that as a general, he didn't study "Sun Tzu's Art of War" well, and he also imitated those memorial officials who gave memorials every day!

Regarding the king's various behaviors, Qingping began to feel a little funny, why didn't he just send himself out of the palace, so clean and easy.But he persisted stubbornly.After a few days, Qingping finally figured out that she had never been so important, then this must be a conspiracy by the ministers, and there must be something bigger behind it.In this way, Qingping felt a little more sympathy for Yang Xian, because she knew that the emperor was not so easy to be, and also because she saw his helplessness and because of her unwillingness, she fought against this helplessness.This is life.he thinks.Just like he wandered around performing arts for a living since he was a child, being looked down upon by others is his life.On this day, he finally couldn't bear to face that handsome face full of anger and sadness.Could it be that everyone is so aimed at the emperor, so there is no word of tolerance?he asks.I know what they're writing, I don't care and I don't read it.That person said so, Yingwei's figure is so proud, but also so lonely.
