The end is approaching

After kissing the forehead, Qi Yifei didn't believe in evil, and took the initiative to kiss the face again.

Lifespan still hasn't increased.

"Scumbag" Qi Yifei finally resigned to his fate, and then with a look of disgust for no reason, he said to Wenzuo: "Well, it's over."

Wen Gui: "???"

If it wasn't for the consideration of face, I would have shaken Qi Yifei's thin shoulders and yelled heart-piercingly. Could it be that I'm not good at kissing?How can you change, you little fairy?This is your meat compensation? !

But after several times of cloudy and sunny faces, Wen Zuo finally endured it and decided to settle the accounts together after autumn.

The Hall of Wuwei has finally arrived.

It used to be as quiet as a tomb here, and every palace official who was in charge of serving the heaven and the emperor was very afraid that their lives would be in danger, and they might be angered by the regent one day, so they always kept things as low as possible in their actions. The sense of presence, even the voice of walking and talking, unconsciously becomes as small as possible, until in the end, almost no one speaks, and the action is like a ghost gliding on the ground.

Today, it has really become a tomb, where the late emperor who is waiting to be buried is parked.

On the contrary, the palace people were a little relieved, and finally they no longer had to worry about being implicated by Tianhe Emperor and being displeased by the Regent.Just like those people who waited tremblingly for the crime back then, they are always looking forward to getting rid of the scourge of His Highness the Seventh Prince.Either they were transferred away, or the only way left was to look forward to the death of the Seventh Highness.

A group of palace people knelt around the yellow gauze dragon bed, sobbing softly.They were not sure what the regent was thinking, and they always felt that it was not good to cry too sadly, but it seemed that it was not good to not care too much.That's all there is to it, fake crying that has a saying.

When Qi Yifei and Wen Zui arrived, the courtiers who deliberately took a long way around arrived almost one after another.

Mr. Fu, who is particularly lively, couldn't help looking at Qi Yifei, and with a look of "what the hell did you just do just now", fully interpreted the inner drama of every adult present at this moment.

But as long as you have a thick skin, you can pretend you don't know what they're thinking.Qi Yifei comforted herself like this.

The imperial doctors lined up and came out of the hall, and gave the regent the result of the last pulse of Emperor Tianhe: "Your Majesty, the Dragon Yubin is in heaven, and please express your condolences to Your Highness."

The ministers fell to their knees instantly, and began to cry along with the palace servants.

Fu Li's heart skipped a beat. The words he had prepared all the way finally came into play!He stepped out from the kneeling ministers, walked to the open space, knelt down again with a "clang", and performed today's most important scene: "A soldier cannot be without a commander for a day, and a country cannot be without a man for a day." Wujun. Please also ask Your Majesty to ascend the Great Treasure as soon as possible to reassure the people!"

At this time, the most important thing is of course to let the new emperor ascend the throne.

As for the childcare-like job of respectfully inviting the new emperor to ascend the throne, Fu Li, as a confidant, is the most suitable person to take the lead.

Mr. Qi followed Fu Li closely, and kowtowed again. This time, he did not mean to be a child, but to represent civil and military officials, admitting the sin of the new emperor: "Your Majesty, please ascend the throne!"

The officials kowtowed and shouted together.

On the other hand, the clan was deadlocked.Some of the sons of the vassal princes are really confused, while others are unwilling to speak out for various reasons.Although the overall situation has been settled, the regent is the regent, and they seem to have nothing to struggle with.But as long as the throne is not determined, they will still have hope.At this moment, if they really admit it, they are really completely useless.

If there are any small actions in the future, then the name will not be correct and the words will not go well.But the embarrassing thing is that they have already knelt down because of the death of the first emperor. It doesn't seem to make any difference whether they kowtow or not.

Qi Yifei was suddenly blessed, and spoke on behalf of the clan.

The standard etiquette demonstrations he and Wen Zui had learned could really come into play at this moment, the flowing movements, the pleasing bowing of the head, everything seemed so natural and logical.

"Your Majesty, long live long live long live."

The county king was stunned, even if it was a person with a different surname, the other clans could no longer stand still, their movements were slow and sparse, and in the end they all bent down and bowed their heads in front of the co-lord of the world.

After this one kowtow, there will be no regent, only the new emperor.

Establish the emperor first, and then bury the corpse.This has been a rule since ancient times, and it doesn't seem that Wen Zui's side is too impatient.That night, on the fifteenth day of the eighth month, when the moon was supposed to be reunited, the officials all dressed in sackcloth and mourning, and prepared for the funeral of Emperor Tianhe in an orderly manner.

These have already been secretly prepared, and there is no rush, just follow the rules.Even the change of power in the court has been almost done long ago, eliminating the unavoidable fluctuating hearts and turmoil of the ministers when facing the Daxing Emperor.Keep your head down and work, and you're done.

After one night, Wen Zui circled his year name on the brochure that the Ministry of Rites had discussed earlier.

Guangshan.

In fact, this was not the year name that Wenzu considered before, it was just one of the many supporting options, not an eye-catching one.Wen Zui didn't know where he had this whim, he just looked at Qi Yifei who had been by his side all the time, and now he was so tired that he couldn't bear to sleep on the couch, and this idea came up inexplicably.

As soon as the imperial pen was crooked, Zhu Pian circled above "Guangshan".This year is still called Tianhe, and it will be the first year of Guangshan from January next year.

By the way, yes, knowing that the Tianhe Emperor had a new funeral, and the posthumous title had not yet been determined, he had already used the red pen that should have been stopped during the filial piety period, and the blue pen was only used once for nothing. Then it was business as usual.This is definitely not in line with etiquette, but it is not without exception in the past dynasties.The ministers didn't even dare to go to the memorial to persuade them.

The new emperor ascends the throne, and everything is waiting to be done.

This should be the busiest time for Wen Zui, but Qi Yifei was miraculously kept in the palace directly, and he hasn't been out since the Mid-Autumn Festival.Served with delicious food and drink, but Wen Zui just pretended not to remember letting Qi Yifei go.

"What can I do if I stay?" This was the confusion from the person involved, and Qi Yifei uttered a cry from his heart.

"I have a very important matter that I want to entrust to you." The new emperor was serious and secretive, and when there was no one around, he leaned into the little county king's ear and whispered.

Probably because of the serious expression on Wen Zui's face, Qi Yifei really believed that there was some big responsibility to be entrusted to him.

He sat concentrating on it, nodded with a serious face: "You say."

"Stay with me."

"..."

Hearing the guilt and laughing, he began to sell miserably in a serious manner: "Father cursed me before he died. Sooner or later, I will become a loner like him, maybe even worse than him. I don't want to become like him, so I need you to come Stay with me. This is really important to me. It’s so important that if I’m in a bad mood, I might go on strike.”

Qi Yifei rolled his eyes at His Majesty the Emperor inappropriately, he was no longer afraid of hearing about it.

"Believe in you to be a ghost." Qi Yifei said bluntly, it's not that he has never seen Wen Zui's work status, and there will be no more dedicated and workaholic people than Wen Zui, okay?

If it wasn't for fear of scaring Wen Zui, Qi Yifei would have wanted to tell Wen Zui the story about Emperor Yongzheng.

Although there have been various speculations about Yongzheng's death in history, it is similar to the accident of poisoning or something.But Qi Yifei firmly believed that Yongzheng died of overwork.After all, he invented the Military Aircraft Department, this kind of emperor who brought feudal centralization to the extreme, had a hand in everyone and everything, and never forgot to fall in love in his busy schedule.Myocardium and cerebral infarction are the culprits!

And this predecessor's precedent, for Wen Zui, is simply a ghost story level, okay?Qi Yifei persuaded himself to be kind in his heart, and it was better not to say it out to scare people.

"I want to be a wise man, not because I like to work." Wen Zui had to lead Qi Yifei out of a misunderstanding.

For example, Wen Zui is really not the kind of character that "work can make him happy".

Wenzu just held his breath, thinking that he must do better than Tianhedi.Only in this way can it be proved to the world that he is not a calamity upon hearing his crime, on the contrary, he will make a good story and his name will last forever.

This idea sounds a bit strange, but for ordinary people, at least the result is good, they get a rising and prosperous name.

"So, you really want to go on strike?" Qi Yifei said, now that he has said this, he also has a secret that has been hidden for many years that he should tell Wen Zui, "I am not the kind of character who cares about the country and the people."

In the eyes of outsiders, Qi Yifei's grandfather might be a treacherous minister who only knows how to flatter.As for Qi Yifei, he is the grandson of a treacherous official, the culprit of feudal superstition; his brother-in-law is a hero, his sister is a poisonous woman, and his family is not a good person.

Qi Yifei really didn't care much whether he went on strike after hearing the crime.

"Exactly, I'm not a good person either." Wen Zui smiled, glad that he can integrate into this big family.

Wen Zui is like a chameleon. After realizing that the routine of worrying about the country and the people is not suitable for Qi Yifei, he quickly changed his strategy and picked up his sick and weak personality again.

Wen Zui's original intention was just to make a few fake coughs, who would have thought that when he really coughed, he couldn't stop it, and he couldn't control it until he coughed up blood again.

After coughing on Xuepa, Wen Zui quickly closed it, not wanting Qi Yifei to see it.

But Qi Yifei's eyes are so sharp, he panicked all of a sudden: "Are you okay? What's wrong with you?!"

"It's nothing." Wen Zui acted like a normal person this time. He wished he could stand up and show Qi Yifei what health means. It's a small matter."

"Poison???" Where did the poison come from?friend?Are you living in such dire straits? !Qi Yifei was really frightened.

Seeing that Wengui was about to stand up, Qi Yifei hurriedly shouted: "Sit down!"

Wen Zui obediently sat back on the chair, not daring to move again.

Qi Yifei didn't think that poisoning was a trivial matter. He stepped forward, carefully supported Wen Zui, and then forcibly pushed Wen Zui onto the bed.After many years, the king of Naijiu County came out of the arena again. He felt that no one could speak well now. He had his own brain and could judge.So first, call the imperial doctor over!

When the imperial doctors were checking the pulse, Qi Yifei didn't forget to find Eunuch Ding and go behind the screen to inquire about the situation.

Eunuch Ding looked at Wensin, then at Qi Yifei, in a dilemma, and whispered: "My county prince, please do me a favor, if this old slave speaks out, His Majesty will definitely kill this servant."

"You don't tell me, I don't tell you, how would he know?" Qi Yifei didn't believe this.

Eunuch Ding glanced at the hidden guards everywhere, and realized in his heart that the county prince really doesn't know how many tails he usually follows.

But this matter, I can't say it directly, I can only hint: "It seems that there are only you and me here, but in fact..."

"Are there a lot of ghosts?" Qi Yifei has always felt that the whole world is full of ghosts that he can't see. Fortunately, there is nothing to be afraid of if you can't see them.

"..." Eunuch Ding suddenly felt a pain in his head, he could only rub his temples, and went all out to explain to Qi Yifei, "Your Majesty still has some residual poison in his body, which was left behind, um, you know, from back then. The medical treatment was not timely , the toxin has accumulated for many years. But as long as it is cleaned, it will be fine."

Many of Wen Zui's wanderings between life and death left a profound impact.

Qi Yifei's thoughts were clear, and after hearing Eunuch Ding's hesitation to speak, he couldn't help raising his voice: "It means that there is still a possibility that it is not clear?"

"Should, can it?" Eunuch Ding was a little confused by Qi Yifei's bluff, and even started to question himself.

The regent had been vomiting blood before, but it had stopped in the middle. He thought it was a good sign, but now he started coughing again. He didn't really run into some quack doctor, right?

Imperial Physician: "..."

Taking advantage of Qi Yifei's absence, the imperial doctor whispered to His Majesty the Emperor: "It's been several days, and you forgot to take your medicine."

Wen Zui nodded, there were too many things going on recently, and he felt that there was no serious problem, so he completely forgot about taking medicine.In fact, he no longer needs to drink medicine every day, and the dosage is gradually reduced for each dose.So, drink it or not.Before coughing up blood, Wen Zui had been thinking this way.

"Illnesses come and go like a mountain, and sicknesses go like spinning silk. The most important thing is to persevere, Your Majesty." The medical ethics of the imperial physician supported him, and he had such a great deal with the current Majesty.

"What will happen if I don't drink the medicine?" Wen Zui rolled his eyes and thought about it.

"It will...it's going to be difficult." The imperial doctor told the truth, wanting to intimidate the patient.

"But you can't die?" Patient Wen is very good at taking advantage of loopholes.

"...I suggest you, if necessary, you might as well pretend to be sick." The imperial doctor could only give a tactful reminder like this.In order to cure the sin, he didn't even want medical ethics, "I can help you act, but please drink the medicine on time."

Wen Zui thought for a while, nodded and agreed, taking medicine and so on is a trivial matter, the last thing he fears is suffering.

then……

After this day, His Majesty Wen got a male nurse surnamed Qi who took care of him wholeheartedly.

Because of the paradoxical words of the imperial doctor, which he couldn't understand at all, Qi Yifei consciously took on the important task of supervising the crime and drinking the medicine at a fixed time every day.

"It's too bitter." Wen Zui became hypocritical instead.

Eunuch Ding only dared to slander you, the one who drank the medicine without blinking an eye, and took Chinese medicine while criticizing the memorial, could it be that you are a fake?

"I prepared candied fruit." Qi Yifei patiently seemed to be taking care of a child, "It's so sweet."

"I don't like to eat preserved fruit." Wen Zui really doesn't like it, and he can't understand why other people like this kind of candied and pickled food. It has a strange taste and a strange texture.It's so sweet that it's greasy and sticky.

"I also prepared candy." Qi Yifei was very careful, and his grandfather didn't like to eat preserved fruit either.

"I don't like sugar either." Wen Zui said critically again, he had never been so difficult to serve, as if every cell in his body was clamoring "I just don't want to take medicine".

"Then what do you like?" Qi Yifei finally exposed the irritable true colors of the little princess, imitating his sister's "intimate" care for him back then, raising one of his hands, with slender fingers, clear joints, white jade Like, like a work of art, "Slap like it? Give me a drink! Don't talk nonsense!"

In the whole world, Qi Yifei is probably the only one who dares to yell at His Majesty like that.

But by the way, this His Majesty, who heard about the crime, took this set, not only obediently drank the medicine for nothing, but also looked a little happy.After finishing the drink, Wen Zui raised his head again, his talking eyes were filled with writing - I am so obedient and brave, should I get some praise?

"Wow, you're really good!" Xi Jingqi, who was online in minutes, was satisfied with the praise, as if he didn't want money, and rushed up.

"Then can I get some rewards by the way?" Wen Zui pushed forward every step of the way.

"For example?" Qi Yifei thought about it for a long time, but he didn't think that there was anything he couldn't get with Wenzuo's current status.Qi Yifei even remembered a very old joke - if Tian Wenzui finds a magic lamp that can make wishes, he might turn around and grant a wish to the magic lamp.

Thinking about it, Qi Yifei laughed to himself. He still misses everything in modern times very much.

Wen Zui raised his eyebrows: "It's like kissing..."

Before he finished speaking, he was very ignorant of winking, and he would enter the palace if there was a luthier who would appear at the most inopportune time.

Youqin master is from Northwest Daying, even if Wen Zui is now the emperor, he still has to sell Situ Ji some face, at least he can't treat Youqin master like he treated Fu Li.A luthier came to report, saying that he had something important to report, and he had to see him if he heard about the crime.

"Huh? Do you drink tonics in broad daylight?" A luthier came in and used his nose, which was sharper than a dog, to expose the truth.

Wen Zui: "..." Shut up!

Qi Yifei: "???" Did someone deliver the wrong medicine?on purpose?Framed?Or should I drink the tonic first and then the rest?The medicine prescribed by the imperial doctor is based on meals, three meals a day, and occasionally a supper.Very poor.Qi Yifei couldn't figure out what all these medicines were for.But Wen Zui has a poor foundation and many old illnesses, so drinking tonic seems to have no logical flaws.

"What's the matter?" Wen Zui straight to the point to Youqin Master, diverting Qi Yifei's attention.

"I have cracked a big case! The Guanghan Palace fraud case!" Some luthiers still couldn't hide their excitement.He didn't even show up for the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet or the death of Tianhe Emperor before, so he just went to track down this case.After waiting for several days, I finally rubbed my hands and waited until the villain was caught!How is he so smart!Comparing others to fools is ashamed.

Did Qi Yifei understand: "Didn't you go to investigate the matter of the second princess?"

"..." The luthier was strangely silent.On the way to investigate the case, many strange accidents can always happen. It is a very common operation to investigate A, but find B, ha, ha.

"It's not common." Qi Yifei is especially good at tearing things down.

A luthier became angry and sent a warning: "People like you should live a harder life, you know?!"

Qi Yifei couldn't put it into words: "Do you know that I taught my sister this word in the first place?"

"I actually heard it from the major general." Some luthiers were taken aback.

The two fell into contemplation at the same time, and had an epiphany about the speed and breadth of a buzzword spreading within the small group.

"Guanghan Palace?" Wen Zui really couldn't stand the tacit understanding between Qi Yifei and Youqin Master. Anytime, anywhere, they seemed to be able to pick up each other's words and have a very intimate mutual confrontation.Wen Zui felt that he was like a vinegar pot now, with sour smell coming out of his body, and he didn't intend to repent.

"Oh, yes, Guanghan Palace," a luthier continued to chatter as if he had just woken up from a dream, "I don't know if His Majesty knew about Prince Hui's son? If you don't understand, I can..."

"I! I know! I know!" Wen Zui squeezed out almost every word from between his teeth, "Say! Heavy! Faster!"

The point is, a few days ago, a luthier went to Beili.

"Beili" is a saying handed down from the previous dynasties. It originally referred to the place name, and later it was extended to become...the red light district.Because in the previous few dynasties, the place where prostitutes in the capital gathered was in Pingkangli, which was located under the North Gate. If you said something about Beili in a secretive way, any man would smile knowingly.

Later, even if everyone stopped going to the real North Gate, it would be customary to call that place Beili.

Some luthiers went to Beili, not to solve some primitive impulse.But to see friends.His friend's family committed a crime back then, and they were not wronged, but it was a serious crime. The principal culprit died, and the family members were implicated.At that time, the imperial court gave two choices, either go to Hainan to eat betel nuts, or stay in the capital to teach music.

To put it bluntly, it is exile and official prostitution.

The friend with the luthier, who was said to be the lover of the clan in Yongji, chose to stay in Beijing with full confidence for the sake of the other party, filling Yunshao.

Yunshao, sounds quite poetic, but it is actually the old name of Jiaofangsi.That is, the government-run legal brothel, which belongs to the Ministry of Rites, is a place in charge of music, dance and opera in name, but it is also the beginning of singing and dancing.

A friend with a luthier, not long after entering the Jiaofang Division, never mentioned that he had a lover.

Those who are charged into Jiaofang Secretary are all guilty, and there is no way to redeem them.And there is a luthier far away in the northwest, the only thing he can do for his friend is to support the relationship between Jing and Zhong, and find a way to take care of his friend a little bit more.Now that the emperor is mourning today, the whole country is in decline, and banquets and marriages are prohibited, the people in Jiaofang can finally take a rest.

There was a luthier who deliberately chose such a day when the other party would look more decent to visit.

Some luthiers also intend to discuss with their friends. Now that the emperor and the courtiers can use the imminent amnesty to carry out a wave of operations and try to rescue the other party.At least not to do things that his friends didn't want to do anymore.

As a result, when the two were talking, there was a sudden noise from the next door. After hearing the news, they went to gossip, only to find that Jin Yiwei was taking care of someone.

When I asked why, I found out that during the national mourning period, there were Taoist priests parading and they were reported.

Near the Jiaofangsi, there are some brothels and Chu houses gathered together. On such a day, every house is quiet and closed behind closed doors, but it is hard to say whether they will do something in private, after all, they are like this If a business is closed, everyone will be hungry together.You can always see some unruly ones at night, with bright lights in the backyard.

The Jiaofang Division basically turned a blind eye to this. They didn't care about whether others should lie down and make money.

If you don't get discovered, everything will be fine, but if you get caught in Jinyiwei, all you have to do is wait for death.

The person led by Jin Yiwei happened to know the luthier, who was the "comrade in arms" who stood outside the door and accompanied him all night when he was accused of crimes and reorganized the materials that had been sorted out in the past.

There is a luthier, the principle of life is to make friends and rarely offend.

With such a one-night relationship, as long as there is a piano master, he also has friends in Jinyiwei. His good friend is surnamed Liu, and he has a little relationship with Master Liu who is in prison.

Therefore, some luthiers not only gossip, but also go to watch.

Onlookers, onlookers, and onlookers have problems.A luthier looked at the money that Jin Yiwei seized from the accounting counter. "Hey" loudly.

"Guess what?" A luthier said to Qi Yifei, "Need I remind you that you are here to report, not to speak?"

"I am terrified." A luthier said so, but there was no expression of fear on his face, he just changed his mind and said concisely, "I found out that the taels used by the Taoist priest were not official silver, and there were many strange things. pattern."

After being taken back by Jin Yiwei and tortured, the little Taoist finally couldn't stand it anymore and told the truth.The money was given by his senior brother, and his senior brother got it from another Taoist priest at a low price.It is said that the Taoist priest was so powerful that he tricked the prince of Hui Wang and got a lot of gold and silver.But these gold and silver have special patterns, which are different from the official silver. The Taoist priest decided to exchange them at a discount because he was afraid that something would happen.

Some people are greedy for money, so they exchange it, and most of it is used in places like brothels and gambling houses. It doesn't care whether your money is official money or not.

"I'm just wondering why the Taoist priest who cheated the wicked insisted on asking for official money? He could just use the money he cheated and spend it like other Taoist priests. So..."

A luthier had a bold idea, and after tracing it down, the result was gratifying.

"The gold and silver that were exchanged were divided into two batches. One batch was transported to other provinces, and the other batch flowed back to the capital."If such a large amount of gold and silver needs to be used all at once and concealed, it is likely to be used for something they have already paid attention to before.

"Someone wants to rebel." Wen Zui sneered and dropped the teacup in his hand.

As for who it is, some luthiers still haven't found out, but at least he has caught the Taoist liar who lied to Prince Hui's son, and it will only be a matter of time before the other party confesses.A luthier specially came to remind Wen Zui that he must pay attention to safety recently, and hope that Wen Zui can protect himself and his important things.

Tianhedi is not dead, the other party can still "accumulate food widely and become king slowly", but now that Tianhedi died suddenly, he is forcing the other party to jump over the wall in a hurry.

"I see." After Wen Zui finished speaking, he sent away the luthier, but he didn't let the luthier come to take Qi Yifei away.Qi Yifei was also ready to go home, but was stopped.

"Didn't you hear what Qianwu said? It's very dangerous outside recently, we must protect important things."

Qi Yifei: "???" You are more dangerous, right?

"They will definitely threaten me with you." Wen Zui looked at Qi Yifei and said firmly, "Because you are the most important thing to me."

The dragon has reverse scales, once touched, the world will suffer disaster.
