This is a very well-written erotic poem, but after seeing this poem, Shan Zhongji felt as if he had seen a ghost. Cold sweat began to drip down his forehead, and oil stains accidentally fell on the writing. On the paper with the lyrics, some of the writing was blurred.
This was written by His Majesty himself. The frightened Shan Zhongji hurriedly wiped it with his sleeve, but it became darker and darker as he wiped it. A good piece of writing was ruined.
"I... I... I deserve to die. I deserve to die for my crime!"
Shan Zhongji trembled and knelt down again.
In the Dayan Dynasty, both royal ministers and ordinary people rarely knelt down to worship. The chamberlains and ladies-in-waiting in the palace only need to bow their heads when they see the emperor, queen, and queen mother.
Today, the dignified cabinet minister Shan Zhongji, as Zhu Sheng said before, has lost all the moral integrity of a scholar.
The reason why Shan Zhongji gave up his dignity so much is because this poem was written by him.
Shan Zhongji composed this erotic poem on a whim while taking a break from the stormy relationship with Xin Na's concubine last night. Logically speaking, this poem should only be known to Shan Zhongji himself and his concubine. When Shan Zhongji went out, his concubine, who had been tossed all night, was still catching up on her sleep in bed. It was unlikely that it would have leaked from her. Shan Zhongji I haven't leaked it myself.
And looking at the ink marks on the paper, it was obvious that it had been written for some time. It has only been a short two or three hours since this erotic poem came out.
This is a bit scary. How did Emperor Zhu Sheng know this poem?
Could it be... Dongjishi Factory!
Shan Zhongji guessed in his heart, his body kneeling on the ground was trembling. Although he didn't dare to raise his head, he could still feel Zhu Sheng watching him. At this time, Shan Zhongji even felt naked. Everything about him, including his little hidden thoughts, was clearly visible to Zhu Sheng.
Thinking back to six months ago when Zhu Sheng first ascended the throne, he gave the ministers a feeling of weakness and could be bullied. But after the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony, Zhu Sheng seemed to have changed into a different person, becoming majestic, cold and unpredictable.
Everyone underestimated Your Majesty before, King Yong did not lose unjustly.
Shan Zhongji suddenly had such an idea in his mind.
At this time, although Shan Zhongji was scared to death, he still adhered to the ultimate philosophy of serving as an official.
Don't say yes, leave everything to His Majesty's decision.
The imperial study room was quiet for a long time. Zhu Sheng suddenly smiled and stepped forward to help Shan Zhongji up.
"Why is Cifu so panicked? It's natural for people to have fun in the boudoir. Do I still blame me for this? In Cifu's heart, am I such an unreasonable person?"
"I...don't dare!"
Shan Zhongji lowered his head, not daring to look at Zhu Sheng.
In my mind, I was wondering what the purpose of your Majesty's performance this morning was?
Shan Zhongji's performance makes Zhu Sheng very satisfied. This is the secondary assistant and the cabinet I want.
The desired effect had been achieved, and Zhu Sheng stopped teasing Shan Zhongji, picked up a memorial from the imperial case and handed it over.
"This is a booklet sent by the Ministry of Etiquette this morning. Please read it, my dear."
Your Majesty, did you scare me just for a memorial?
Shan Zhongji was confused in his heart, but he didn't dare to hesitate in his hand. He took the memorial and opened it respectfully.
The memorial was written by a Yuanwailang named Liu Xi in the Ministry of Rites. Yuanwailang was only a minor official of the fifth rank. He was not a big figure in Kyoto, where senior officials and relatives were as numerous as dogs. What’s more, he was serving in a Qingshui Yamen like the Ministry of Rites. .
Naturally, Tangtang Cisuke had never heard of this person.
But after reading the memorial, the name Liu Xi was deeply imprinted on Shan Zhongji's mind.
This man is the source of cholera!
Although there are many words in the memorial, the things it says are simple. It can be summed up in one sentence - I pray that Concubine Xian be made the Queen Mother!
There are no two suns in the sky, no two masters in the country, and there can only be one emperor in the world. This is a truth that all children in Huangkou know.
But in this world, not only can there be only one emperor, but there must also be only one queen, queen mother, and prince.
Ethical principles are often the foundation for Dayan's prosperity and standing even more than 800 years after its founding. But if two queen mothers appear in the world at the same time, it will disrupt the order, violate ethics, and be detrimental to the country!
Shan Zhongji understands this truth, Liu Xi understands it, and Emperor Zhu Sheng understands it as well.
Since we all understand, why do you still dare to write? Dare one take it?
Shan Zhongji didn't know who Liu Xi was or what his abilities were. But he knew that Emperor Yan Zhu Sheng was not a fool and would not joke about his family's country and his throne.
Therefore, Zhu Sheng's move must have a deeper meaning.
Shan Zhongji thought quickly with his little brain, trying to figure out Zhu Sheng's thoughts, but he still couldn't figure it out. Feeling Zhu Sheng's aggressive gaze, his forehead was covered with sweat.
How to do how to do…
I'm sure I won't get through this time by pretending to be deaf, but... hey!
Could it be that His Majesty wants to...
An idea suddenly flashed in Shan Zhongji's mind, and he felt that he must have guessed Zhu Sheng's plan, so he spoke cautiously.
“Abolish the old and create the new?”
Zhu Sheng was noncommittal and looked past Shan Zhongji towards the door of the imperial study.
A chamberlain had been standing at the door for a while, not daring to say anything when the emperor and his assistant were discussing the incident.
"Liu Xi is so ignorant that he bypassed the cabinet and handed the paper directly to me. My dear, you can handle this matter."
After saying that, Zhu Sheng returned to the Imperial Case and sat down to rest with his eyes closed.
This was an order to expel guests, so Shan Zhongji could only carefully store the memorial, bow and leave.
After Shan Zhongji left, the waiter at the door quietly walked into the imperial study, went to Zhu Sheng's side and whispered.
"Half an hour ago, Concubine Xian first sent Third Eunuch Hou to invite Ji Rou'er into the palace, and then sent Eunuch Ma to invite Rong Fei. The Crown Prince, Prince Qi, and the Sixth Princess were also invited into the Warm Wind Pavilion."
Zhu Sheng's expression suddenly changed when he heard this, but then returned to his original state.
After all, it was just a missing move. I was still too impatient and missed Ji Rouer.
The mother must have become suspicious. At this time, it was too late to send people to find Ji Rouer before Hou San. The next step was to see how Rong Fei and Ji Rouer responded.
He sighed secretly in his heart and gave instructions to the chamberlain.
"Take a few more people to Nuanfeng Pavilion to keep an eye on it, and report the situation there at any time. Don't miss anything."
…
After Ji Rou'er, Murong Qiushui, and Rong Lan made a plan to beat up Rong Fei, they thought that Rong Fei would probably not come back during the day, so they went to the long street together to continue their daily free clinic.
The old Taoist priest was naturally overjoyed when he saw Ji Rou'er coming as promised, and quickly called Ji Rou'er to take a seat to diagnose the patients who had not been able to receive treatment yesterday.
But as soon as Ji Rouer sat down, a group of forbidden soldiers separated from the crowd and surrounded the three women.
Murong Qiushui raised her eyebrows, reached into her arms with both hands, and took out a handful of talisman paper.
Rong Lan followed suit and pulled down her sleeves to cover her palms. The hands hidden in the sleeves had turned into two orchids, ready to release the pollen mist at any time.
Ji Rou'er noticed the two men's undisguised murderous intent and quickly grabbed their arms and pulled them behind them.
Hou San left the imperial army and came to Ji Rou'er, cupping his hands and smiling.
"I dare to ask, but Ji Rou'er, Miss Ji is now."
"The little girl is Ji Rou'er, I don't know..."
From Hou San's sharp voice and his attire, Ji Rou'er had already guessed his identity, but she just thought that she had no connection with the palace, so how could she find him.
Unless it's because of Rong Fei!
So he quickly returned the gift, and when he was about to ask, Hou San took a step forward and whispered.
"Miss Ji, don't be afraid. The Za family has no ill intentions. It's Concubine Xian who wants to invite Miss Ji and Rong Baotou to the Nuanfeng Pavilion. Someone else has gone to invite Miss Rong Baotou. The Za family is here specifically to take Miss Ji into the palace. .”
Rong Fei once told Ji Rou'er about being rescued by Princess Xian that day. Hearing this, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, as long as nothing happened to Rong Fei.
Looking at Hou San's smooth and unnecessary chin and the airtight Imperial Army surrounding him, Ji Rou'er also believed in Hou San's identity.
Ji Rouer first confessed her crime to Hou San, then pulled Murong Qiushui and Rong Lan aside to explain clearly the cause of the matter, and asked them to go back to the small courtyard in Xuanwu Hutong or play by themselves, while she wanted to enter the palace. trip.
"Something's wrong. You and that so-and-so concubine are strangers to each other, so why are you chatting with me? As early as when I was in Qiankun Temple, I heard that the Dog Emperor was lustful and immoral. Could it be that he coveted your beauty and wanted to lure you into the palace and... rape you first? …Hmm…”
Murong Qiu Shui said with eyes wide open, but Ji Rouer was so frightened that she quickly covered her mouth.
"What's the first thing? Sister, you should let the eldest sister explain clearly."
Rong Lan shouted from the side without thinking it was a big deal.
Ji Rouer glared at her hatefully, and then explained to Murong Qiushui in detail, and said that the relationship between herself and Yu Qingzhi would never happen like the situation she imagined. Only then did Murong Qiushui give up her doubts.
After sending Murong Qiushui and Rong Lan away, Ji Rouer smiled apologetically at Hou San and followed him into the palace obediently.
They walked all the way to Nuanfeng Pavilion and saw Concubine Xian, Queen Tang Youer, Zhu Yueyao and others. Ji Rouer was about to salute when Concubine Xian took the initiative to greet her and held her hand.
"Oh, this kid is so handsome. Boy Rong is so lucky."
Concubine Xian stroked the back of Ji Rouer's hand and praised her lovingly.
"Toffee, you've done me a favor."
Ji Rouer lowered her head slightly and said shyly.
"I was really happy after chatting with Mr. Rong for a long time last time. Old lady, I wanted to let him come to the palace to sit more often. The other thing is that I am really curious about you, my childhood sweetheart, and I have been thinking about what it is like. Only a girl can be worthy of Mr. Rong, but now I see that Mr. Rong is not worthy of you. Look at you, you look like a fairy. The more I look at you, old lady, the more I like you."
"Mom, no matter how much you like Miss Ji, you have to let her come in first and sit down and have a cup of tea before chatting. There is no reason to let the guest stand outside the door all the time."
Queen Tang Youer laughed from the side.
Zhu Yueyao, Zhu Yun, and Zhu Yan were also looking at Ji Rouer curiously.
"You'er is right, I'm rude to you, old lady. In this case, you two should take Miss Ji to the side room to sit for a while. After all, we are all young people, so we can have a better conversation. I guess Mr. Rong will be here soon, Old lady, I’ll wait for him here.”
After saying that, Concubine Xian looked at Hou San.
Hou San understood, bowed his body and led the way, leading Tang You'er, Ji Rou'er and others towards the side room.
Not long after, Xiao Shunzi also arrived with Rong Fei.
"You are such a proud young man, but you have been promoted and made a fortune, and you can't find an old woman anymore. You haven't come to see me for so long."
Seeing Rong Fei, Concubine Xian pretended to be angry and complained.
"What an injustice! What a huge injustice."
"Stop pretending to be pitiful here. Let's go inside and talk to the old lady."
Without saying anything, Concubine Xian took Rong Fei and went to the main room.
