landslide

?Last night, there was a continuous drizzle. Huai Jun fell asleep in the sound of the rain, but slept more peacefully than the previous few nights.When he woke up, the suffocation entangled in his heart dissipated for three parts, his breathing became smoother, and even his face became less depressed, as if the rain last night washed the earth and washed away a little worry for him at the same time. .

After putting on the dragon robe, he went to court, and the courtiers who had not seen the emperor for several days finally breathed a sigh of relief.At the court meeting, Huai Jun approved the appropriation of funds to Luyi and the peace talks with the Hungarian Kingdom, and after a few more discussions, he withdrew from the court, but called Fan Shaoqian to Cuiwei Palace.

When Fan Shaoqian arrived at Cuiwei Palace, Huai Jun had already changed his court clothes, and was sitting in the library waiting for him.

"My minister sees the Holy One." Fan Shaoqian bowed his hands and said.

"Pingshen." He waved his hand again and said, "Zai Fu, please sit down."

Fan Shaoqian sat down, his cold eyes fixed on Huai Jun's obviously thinned cheeks, his heart trembled suddenly, and he suddenly thought of Chen Pu's wounded appearance three years ago, sick and very thin, I'm afraid the current Chen Pu It is even more haggard, and the disease in the heart is more worrying than the disease in the body.

Thinking of this, he frowned a little, but soon relaxed, and waited for Huaijun to speak seriously.

Huai Jun coughed twice, and then asked directly: "Wang Wang's donation to Luyi for disaster relief was withheld by the Zaifu?" Seeing Fan Shaoqian nodded, he praised and said: "Well done, Wang Wang's thoughts It's not hard to understand."

"Wang Wang couldn't bear the suffering of the common people, so he privately gathered rich merchants in the city to donate to relieve the urgent need." Fan Shaoqian made some calculations, and because of the situation, he still wanted to speak for Nuoxu.

"I understand that Wang Rende has something to do under his prestige." Huai Jun raised his eyebrows, and then said: "But there is one thing I don't understand. Since the prime minister has withheld Wang Wang's donation, why should I do it?" Why don't you just seize the food he collected?"

After listening, Fan Shaoqian didn't even move his eyebrows, and said the words he had prepared a long time ago calmly: "If you stop again, I'm afraid it will cause public anger and damage the reputation of the Holy One."

"Would you like to gain a good name for Wang Wang?" Huai Jun asked back, but instead of being angry, he smiled, "Times have changed, even if Wang Wang donated money, it was to establish virtue for our court. In the past, he was well-known, but today He is still the Wang Wang praised by the people, that's all, he loves to do this, why not let him have a good time?"

The implication is that Huai Jun is already in power, and he doesn't take what Nuo Xu did at all.In fact, everyone including Nuoxu should understand that in this peaceful and prosperous age, Ren Nuoxu's reputation has been extolled to the sky, and it's not just the name of a loyal minister or something.

Fan Shaoqian had no choice but to admit: "It's my minister who has troubled a lot, please forgive me."

"Fan Zaifu, you are a smart person, is it troublesome for you to stop or not stop?" Huai Jun's words seemed to mean something, but the next moment, he put away his stern face, and his tone became gentle One point, "The allocation of funds from the Ministry of Household Affairs and Wang Wang's donation will probably be shipped out of the capital this afternoon, so Zaifu doesn't have to worry about it."

"Thank you, Lord."

Huai Jun stared intently at Fan Shaoqian's unchanging expression, was silent for a while, and then said: "I have been ill for a few days, and the political affairs are all under the supervision of Zaifu. Zaifu is so worried about the government, so there is no need to worry about such trivial matters." Take it to heart."

"The fact that I was able to become Zaifu was due to the grace of the late emperor, but I have little talent and learning. From now on, I will pay more attention to everything and will never do it again."

"A lot of people are very knowledgeable, they all came from imperial examinations, and they all read a lot of books, but they all lack the word Zaifu." He tapped the book case a few times with his fingers, and when he stopped, he said bluntly: "The Fan family has been from generation to generation. Loyalty, the word loyalty comes first, it is more important than anything else, don't make it difficult for you in the future, and make it difficult for me."

Speaking of this, even if Fan Shaoqian is really a student with little talent and learning, he will not fail to hear Huai Jun's warning to him.Huai Jun saw Nuo Xu's movements clearly, no matter how ignorant he is, he should be alone.If all the friendship between him and Nuo Xu can be placed after the word loyalty, life will be easier, but how to distinguish clearly which is more important?

A long time ago, he no longer thought about stepping into the court, and later left the palace to take root in Yangzhou and live a new life. The only people he couldn't let go of were Nuo Xu and Mo Huichuan.Now that she's back, she's caught in this heart-wrenching position, everything is beyond her control.

Even though he thought so, his expression was exceptionally firm, and he said four words with certainty: "I understand."

"It's good to understand, you step back."

Huai Jun issued the order to drive away the guests, Fan Shaoqian didn't stay long, but when he came to the door, he stopped suddenly.

"My lord..." He shouted, but he didn't know how to say the next words.

If I asked about Chen Pu's condition, I was afraid that he would not like it; if I asked to see Chen Pu, I was afraid that he would become suspicious.After much deliberation, it is better not to say anything, so as not to startle the snake.

"What else?" Huai Jun asked.

"It's okay." Fan Shaoqian replied, without further words, he walked away.

After he left, Huai Jun ordered the eunuch beside him to grind the ink, draw up an imperial decree, and then put the jade seal on it, and then called Nan Qi in, and asked him to take people to Wang Wang's mansion.

Since he loves to do it, why not let him have a good time?

When Fan Shaoqian left Cuiwei Palace, the sky began to drizzle again, adding some shade to the cramped dog days.It suddenly occurred to me that tomorrow will be the beginning of autumn. Now that the weather has changed, should things still be stagnant?In a few days, when the Mid-Autumn Festival comes, will the people in the Hall of Zhaohe be haggard in secret again?

Before the word loyalty, not everything can be postponed.

The rain powder was sticking to his hair, and he took the cooling and cooling rain to the front of the Hall of Showa, but hid in the corner, looking at the guards in front of the door, and...

A court lady held a paper umbrella to shield a woman in a fine dress from the rain, and the guards were respectful and did not dare to make mistakes.Fan Shaoqian took a closer look and found that it was Dong Jing.

In the drizzle, their words came clearly.

"Empress, please don't make it difficult for the little one, the Holy Majesty has said that no one can enter." One of the guards said.

"Presumptuous!" The maid scolded immediately: "Even the empress can't do it? This small Showa Hall..." The maid's voice stopped abruptly, it turned out that Dong Jing stopped her.

Fan Shaoqian looked at these people, and after thinking about it, he couldn't understand why Dong Jing, who is the empress, came to Zhaohe Hall at this time.Suddenly, the scenes of those concubines from the past came and spoke sarcasticly to him suddenly appeared in front of his eyes, and he didn't even need to look any further, he could conclude that Dong Jing was here to trouble Chen Pu.

"This palace is here, so I never thought of being shut down." Dong Jing's firm tone reached Fan Shaoqian's ears, not domineering or arrogant, but his voice was pleasant, and the next sentence surprised him even more, "Open the door, You can go and report to the Holy Majesty now, or wait until the Holy Majesty arrives, I don’t care about you, but I just opened the door now.”

The guards looked at each other for a long time, then the palace maid said again: "What are you still doing in a daze? If your mother's phoenix body gets cold, let's see how you can bear it!"

Finally, the leading guard nodded, opened the door to let Dong Jing in, and sent another person to tell Huai Jun to go.Before that person passed by, Fan Shaoqian had already walked over quickly, it seems that today is not the time, so he can only come back another day.

He left, and Dong Jing went in.As soon as she entered, there was the sound of flute.The sound of the flute was very low, and it seemed to be singing a sad story in her ears. At that moment, she stood under the magnolia tree, looking at the empty Showa Hall, and felt sad.

The three mutes she sent were all sent away last night, and one of them heard that his hands had been cut off. When she heard the news this morning, she couldn't sit still anymore and decided to come over in person.

The sound of the flute was still echoing in the rain, she was intoxicated listening to it, a lot of emotions flooded at once, she didn't know whether it was the sadness of the flute player or the sadness of the listener.

After a while, when the sound of the flute stopped, I heard a person say: "Empress, Young Master Chen invites you in."

Only then did Dong Jing put those emotions away, and looked at Ah Fu, now only Chen Pu and Ah Fu were left in the Hall of Showa Harmony, and there were heavy guards outside, outsiders were not allowed to enter, and he himself was not allowed to leave.She suddenly understood him a little bit, but she understood Huai Jun even more.

When they arrived at the front hall, they saw a thin man in blue clothes holding a flute and looking straight at her. ?
