Chapter 42 Hidden Crisis

=====

Li Chengyun caught a glimpse of a letter on the case table, held it in his hand and glanced over it quickly, and said: "I came here to tell you about this, my people said that Liu Mingxiao and Zhao Qian sent by the emperor disagreed, so Zhao Qian took the opportunity to put Wang Zhaolun under house arrest."

"Your people?" Liu Wenchao looked at Li Chengyun with puzzled eyes: "Who told you?"

"The person I planted next to Liu Mingxiao." Li Chengyun said again: "What did you say when you met Tang Weizhu today?"

Liu Wenchao sighed: "He is very sick, and he vomited blood today, I am worried, I have to go to the Imperial Hospital tomorrow and call an imperial doctor to show him."

Li Chengyun held Liu Wenchao tightly in his arms, and said slightly dissatisfied: "You really care about him. A few days ago, he ordered the housekeeper in the mansion not to let you in, and you still go to him every day without hindrance. Get together in the house."

Liu Wenchao glanced at him and said, "It should be. He is both my friend and my family. At this time, I don't take care of him. I can't justify it. I am also at fault. I should have told him about our relationship long ago."

"Have you heard the gossip of the ministers in the court?" Li Chengyun said.

"If they like to gossip, let them talk. Anyway, they have always treated Tang Wei and me as if they were dead, and they are not afraid of them talking too much."

Li Chengyun took a gentle bite on Liu Wenchao's shoulder and said, "I would mind, can't you see it?"

Liu Wenchao hissed, turned around, faced him face to face, took the initiative to kiss him on the lips, and said, "Don't be angry now."

Li Chengyun was slightly startled, and kissed the back of Liu Wenchao's head deeply.

After the playbooks from various places were sent to the cabinet, cabinet officials would pre-approve them with ink pens and then send them to the emperor for review. If important matters were discussed, they would be brought up to the court for discussion.

On the second day, Liu Wenchao saw the memorabilia written by Liu Mingxiao and Zhao Qian to the emperor.Liu Mingxiao said that the sea bandits on the Huaihai Sea could not be attacked for a long time, and the two armies faced each other, laboring wealth and hurting the people, so he thought of recruiting security, and it took a lot of hard work to get Wang Zhaolun to surrender, but Zhao Qian did it after he reached a verbal agreement with Wang Zhaolun. Having a disagreement with him, Zhao Qian believes that the sea bandits are a scourge after all. They burned, killed and looted in Shaozhou in the past, and committed heinous crimes that cannot be forgiven. Annihilation, if it is unsuccessful, can also kill the pirate leader Wang Zhaolun, which can also greatly boost the morale of the army and dampen the enemy's spirit.

Liu Wenchao simply wrote down his opinion on the paper, because this is a major matter, and the emperor will definitely bring this matter to the court for discussion.

On the third day, two major events happened in the court. First: Emperor Huiming appointed Li Chengyun as the crown prince. After the previous case of mobilizing a crowd to make trouble, this matter has long been settled, so everyone is not surprised at all.

Second: Emperor Huiming brought up the matter of Wang Zhaolun and asked: "All the lovers think that Wang Zhaolun should be recruited or exterminated."

Liu Wenchao said: "My minister thinks that we should recruit security. The benefits are as follows. One: The imperial court has gained another brave soldier. Two: This can also be regarded as calming down the civil strife, and the people of Shaozhou can also recuperate and live and work in peace and contentment. This group of sea bandits went to resist foreign enemies. If they win the war, the imperial court will enjoy the benefits. If you take the opportunity to attack the pirates, whoever dares to submit to the court in the future will be accused by the world of treachery and backstabbing."

Chen Xueliang stood up and retorted: "There is a list of advantages, so let me talk about the disadvantages. One: If the imperial court sends these pirates to fight, once they die in battle, everyone in the world will think that the imperial court sent them to die. When they go to war, people all over the world will think that the imperial court is ostracizing them. Two: If they are not allowed to fight, the imperial court will have to give them money to support them for nothing. None of them are criminals and heinous people, and letting such people serve the court is always a knife hanging over the court, and everyone doesn't know when one of them will rebel when they are unhappy."

All the ministers were undecided after listening to it. Both parties were right. Emperor Huiming was not in high spirits.

Emperor Huiming said to Ying Xin who was following behind him: "I've been getting a headache recently from the ministers of the court, so you ask Concubine Li to come over."

Not long after, Concubine Li followed Ying Xin into the imperial study room. Emperor Huiming was lying on the long couch beside him, drowsy, with the skin hanging loosely on his face, and there were a few obvious pimples at the end of his eyes. folds.

Li Fei Hongzhao has been pregnant for two months. At this time, her stomach is still very flat. It is not obvious that she is pregnant at all. She still looks like a slim girl. She dragged a long pink dress into Hui Emperor Ming, Wen Shun sat down and pressed his head.

Emperor Huiming didn't open his eyes, he accurately grabbed Hong Zhao's hand, put it in front of his nose and sniffed it, and said, "It smells so good, when I first saw you, I felt that you were exuding a faint fragrance. The aroma makes my heart itch."

Hong Zhao shyly withdrew his hand from Emperor Huiming's hand, and said, "The emperor has frequent headaches recently, my concubine will call the imperial physician for you."

Emperor Huiming turned over, rested his head on Hongzhao's legs, and said, "No need, yesterday the chief assistant sent Wan Hong, the most skilled doctor in the Imperial Hospital, to the family of Tang Weizhen, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, for treatment. As for the other imperial physicians, It's useless to look at it, it will only persuade me to be less angry, less angry, and rest more, they are all a bunch of waste, white collars of my money."

Hongzhao knew that the harem was not allowed to be involved in politics, so he had no choice but to pick up irrelevant words and said: "The Minister of the Ministry of Officials has some illness and needs to mobilize the imperial physician in the palace to treat him."

Emperor Huiming said: "It is said that I invited a quack doctor to see him for a few days, but he didn't recover, and he vomited blood the day before yesterday. I don't know why Tang Weizhen, who is so good, fell ill."

Hongzhao's eyes rolled, revealing a trace of cunning: "The concubine heard people say that the first assistant and the minister of the official department are broken sleeves, do you know if it is true or not?"

Emperor Huiming pinched Hong Zhao's slender waist, and said, "I'm so courageous, how dare you talk about important officials in the court in private."

Hong Zhao was pinched by Emperor Huiming and giggled, and then said: "The courage of the concubines is fed by the emperor, and it's not always the emperor who is used to it."

Emperor Huiming made Hong Zhao laugh, kicked the boots on her feet, and made Hong Zhao lie down, rubbed her breasts and said, "It's hard to say whether it's broken sleeves, but they don't marry either of them." Wife, and I don’t take concubines, I think it’s a bit of an ambiguous relationship in private.”

Hongzhao blushed slightly, and said with a coquettish * at the right time, "Your Majesty, do you know how the eunuchs and maids in the palace talk about them in private?"

Seeing the shy appearance of the beauty in front of him, Emperor Huiming couldn't help feeling a little itchy. He tore Hong Zhao's belt a little, revealing a large piece of breasts, and kneaded vigorously with his five fingers forming claws: "Oh? What did they say?"

"They said that both the Chief Assistant and the Minister of the Ministry of Officials are awe-inspiring and righteous. They don't know who is in charge of the bed. If it is based on their status, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials must be in charge." Hong Zhao puffed out his chest, and said coquettishly: " Your majesty, you don't punish them, they are ruining the court and ruining the atmosphere of the court."

A gleam of coldness flashed in Emperor Huiming's eyes, and the strength in his hands unconsciously became heavier: "You are trying to provoke the relationship between the monarch and his ministers, do you know? Just by your words, I can let someone put you in the cold palace."

Hongzhao didn't care about the pain in his body, got up in a panic and knelt on the couch, and said: "Your Majesty, this concubine will not dare anymore, please see that I have a dragon seed in my stomach, please bypass me." .”

Emperor Huiming said coldly, "Pack up your clothes and get out."

In the past, I only heard people say that being with you is like being with a tiger, but now I have experienced it personally. Hong Zhao wrapped his belt casually a few times, and retreated in a panic.

When passing by Ying Xin, Ying Xin sent her outside the door, took out a handkerchief from her pocket and handed it to her, saying: "Next time, don't make any claims." After finishing speaking, she calmly turned back to the imperial study.

Emperor Huiming had already tidied up his appearance and sat down in front of the desk, kneading his eyebrows with two fingers.

Ying Xin brought tea from the side and handed it to Emperor Huiming, and said, "Your Majesty, I learned a set of acupoint massage techniques from Wan Hong some time ago, and the effect is very obvious. Let the servant massage for you."

Emperor Huiming relaxed his body and leaned against his back without saying a word, which means he acquiesced.

Ying Xin boldly stepped forward to give him a massage, starting from the temples and gently pressing, after a while, Emperor Huiming's frowning brows slowly relaxed.

Emperor Huiming said: "You are still the most loyal."

Ying Xin smiled slightly, and said in a soft voice: "A slave is a dog in front of the emperor. Without the emperor, there would be no slaves today. Of course, a dog has to please its master. The master lets 'him' bite Zhang. Three, 'he' dare not bite Li Si."

Emperor Huiming smiled with satisfaction, and handed several memorials on the desk to him, and said, "Sit down, and copy the words written by the cabinet with a red pen."

Ying Xin was overwhelmed by flattery, and there was no reason to sit with the emperor, even Xu Shouhui, the respected teacher of Emperor Huiming, did not have this treatment.

Ying Xin said, "Your Majesty, this is against the rules."

Emperor Huiming didn't raise his eyes, he continued to look at the notebook in his hand, and said lightly: "My words are the rules."

Where Emperor Huiming couldn't see, a successful smile flashed across Ying Xin's face, but it disappeared quickly, as if that moment just now was just an illusion.
