Chapter 44 The aftermath is not quiet (2)

As soon as he heard this, Yi understood that the emperor felt regretful and thought about it seriously for a moment. Yi said, "I have something to say to the emperor. If you really can't bear it, the emperor might as well take some responsibility for the soldiers. This will not harm the overall situation and the soldiers' lives will be saved."

The emperor was stunned and turned around and looked at Yi, but he never spoke. Yi stared at him with a burning gaze so hard that his back was tight, and he stood there like a pile, not daring to move.

"This is a feasible solution. Over the years of training, although I have issued instructions with Zeng Guofan many times, I have been watching flowers in the fog, and it is a layer of separation." The emperor stood for a while, continued to move forward, and said, "If the admonition is not effective, I really have to take some responsibility."

Yi thought about it and said that if the emperor was willing to take responsibility for the order, it would be like he was guilty of himself! Naturally, there is no need to mention that the soldiers' lives can be safe, but it will be a huge trouble when they meet the situation in the future. For a moment, they feel a little regretful and shouldn't have made any rash suggestions.

The two brothers walked a few steps inside, and the emperor turned around and smiled: "Lao Liu, your big girl is really cute! For the past few days, she has been relying on her laughter and joy around me from time to time to relieve the suffering of military affairs and political affairs."

Yi laughed, "My daughter is just a little smart. Since she was trained by the Emperor's Holy Heart, she has been slightly out of childishness. This time, she was recruited into the palace, and the emperor not only did not think it was wrong, but also added to her gentle words. My brother was frightened and had nowhere to go."

The emperor shook his head with a slight regret, "What a pity, the girl is a daughter. If she is a boy..." He smiled and said, "I will definitely train more seriously and add another wise king to my heaven! At that time, Lao Liu, even if you are you, I am afraid you will still compete!"

In this case, Yi really didn't know how to answer, and hesitated and said, "Through the emperor's training, this...the future achievements are naturally extraordinary."

The emperor laughed again, "Forget it. Let's talk about this for the time being today. Just kneel down and wait - tomorrow, you and the people from the General Administration Office will hand in the sign. I have something to say."

After sending Prince Gong away, the emperor kept taking Jingyu and Liufu to the Zhongcui Palace where the queen lived. The queen who received the news first met and answered at the door: "I will meet the emperor."

The emperor and the empress disappeared for more than 20 days. Since the war between the two countries, all major events have to be decided by the emperor. They are always concerned about the military situation in front of them. They even have rest at night and sleep very uneasy. First, they have no intention, and second, they are unwilling to disturb the concubines in the harem for the night. The third is the Winter Solstice worship of the heavens. The Emperor's Heavenly Father and Earth Mother, the Summer Solstice and the Winter Solstice Circular Mound Ceremony is extremely grand. It requires fasting for several days, not enjoying or sleeping, so they are easily unwilling to turn over the sign to serve the bed.

The news of the victory ahead was sent back to the capital, and the queen and others naturally knew it. They led the sisters in the palace to congratulate each other. The couple had just met. It was rare that government affairs were free today, and the emperor arrived in the palace.

"Why aren't you in the house on a cold day? Didn't you tell me? Don't come to the yard?"

"I am ashamed of the care of the emperor, but the etiquette and law cannot be abolished. I am the leader of the harem and should set an example for my sisters."

"Forget it, I can't tell you about such a thing. Let's go in and talk."

When he entered Zhongcui's palace, the cold air was blocked outside, and the room was warm. The queen helped him take off his boots and ordered Liu Qingqing to get a blanket with rose petals patterned by the British to cover his feet. The queen sat down on the edge of the kang and talked to her husband.

"I heard Lian Ying say that the banquet that the emperor held to celebrate the merits has ended. I will return to my palace after a while." Niu Hulu smiled, "I ordered someone to prepare, but I don't want to..."

"You mean, am I late?" When I was with the queen, the emperor felt peace and joy in his heart, and there was a trace of traces: "I'm not here to wait for you."

"I dare not. How dare I delay the emperor's management of state affairs because of my own selfishness?"

"Ha Qiu!" The emperor suddenly sneezes, "Your Majesty, do you dare to get caught a cold?" The queen immediately ordered, "Li Lianying, go and pass on..."

"No need!" The emperor called Li Lianying at the door, "It was just a small cold, and it was too much alarm."

The emperor had an order, so the queen naturally could not say much. She sat down again and asked, "Emperor, are there any troubles about the holy heart?"

"Yes." said the emperor, "It's not really annoying, but the new army camp has something to do."

The Qing Dynasty had a ancestral system, and the harem was not allowed to interfere in politics. When the queen heard him speak serious things, she didn't even dare to say anything. She just listened quietly. When he finished talking about the matter, Fang asked blankly: "Then, Master, will all these more than 300 soldiers be killed?"

"I also feel embarrassed. Since the Emperor's Casino abandoned the world and has been going to this day, in nearly ten years, various provinces have reported to each province. There are only more than 200 criminals who have been personally detained by me every year. Now they will be killed in one day... Alas!" The emperor sighed, his tone full of sorrow, "There are many of them, which are indeed pity. It makes me feel so embarrassed!"

"What if the emperor treats it separately?"

"If you can't do it, if you treat it separately, I'm afraid that every one of these more than 300 people will be forgiven. Think about it, will I kill or keep it?"

"This?" This was originally something that the queen didn't understand and dared to ask too much, and she was speechless for a moment.

"If you don't mention these, Liufu, go to the imperial kitchen to see, but are there any new good things coming in?" The emperor took off his white fox fur robe with red satin on jujube and ordered.

"I have already seen it, including silverfish, pheasants, yellow sheep, winter bamboo shoots, and drunk crabs in Zhejiang. I have asked them to prepare a number one hot pot."

"Okay!" The emperor looked out the window covered with clouds, "'It's snowing in the evening, can you drink a glass of water?" You notify the kitchen that I will serve in the queen's room tonight."

"Yes!" Liu Fu was ordered, "Today's dinner, the queen will serve Zhongcui Palace."

"Go and spread it, so they are quick to get their hands and feet. I'm a little hungry."

The queen smiled and saw the palace maid standing far away, she whispered: "I'm so pitiful! I'm afraid I'm really hungry when I've eaten vegetarian food these two days?"

The emperor also laughed, "Not! I have to make up for it today."

So Liufu went down to spread the word, and the queen spoke with the emperor on the edge of the kang. On the other hand, she adapted the routine rules of usual meals. Two palace maids were left in the house. There were only Liufu and Li Lianying serving him in the corridor. The queen accompanied the emperor, drank softly, and laughed and kept using a very satisfactory dinner.

The emperor still didn't drink. While siping the *** lightly, he let the queen cook for himself: "You sit down and eat with me too. Just do this by Jingyu and Qingqing."

The people serving in the palace were Liu Qingqing and Zhao Jingyu brought back from Jiangning. One was the palace maid next to the queen and learned some rules. The other was trained by the emperor himself. After several months, he saw his achievements, and his interests were very different: Liu Qingqing was cautious in his words and actions, respectful and polite; while Zhao Jingyu was lively and cute, and he was free to laugh.

Staying by the emperor every day, in addition to political affairs, the emperor will deliberately find some topics, fight with her, be happy, and talk and laugh, making the heart of Miss Jingyu all tied to the young emperor.

This is not a secret in the palace. Even Liufu, Yang Saner and the close servants around the emperors were respectful to Jingyu, but they knew that it would take less than a long time for this woman who was a palace maid like herself to fly up the branch and turn into a phoenix. Such a cold stove would not burn at this time, and when would it last?

But strangely, although the emperor often joked, he never was polite. He seemed to treat her as a delicate and cute little doll, and never favored her. In the eyes of Liu Fu and others, he found it particularly strange.

While chatting and laughing, the emperor and the empress used dinner and took the mat and took off the mat. The two of them sat on the soft couch and spoke, "If the emperor really likes it, please take Qingqing and Jingyu away? The two girls on the left and right also brought back to you from Jiangning. You can't just put them in the palace like this, right?"

"Let's talk about this. Zhao Jingyu, I like to talk to her very much. Do you know? She never talks back to me because of the emperor because of me!"

The queen snuggled in her husband's arms and frowned slightly unhappy, "Why are there such people who don't understand the rules?"

"Don't blame her, I specifically allowed her to speak like this. I sometimes feel so tired of listening to the words of the ministers' praises. I really don't want her to behave properly when I talk about friendship with her, and then I will become the same as a thousand people."

"It is her blessing for the master to spoil her. In the future, we cannot let her make trouble regardless of the time or the place. The emperor doesn't have to worry about this matter, let me tell you."

The emperor felt a little regretful. He shouldn't have said these words to the queen. It was the queen's duty to clean up the palace. He didn't say much: "No matter how much you say, don't scare the child, okay?"

The queen held her husband's hand and nodded with a chuckle, "I have recorded it. This time, only I and her are talking to me, don't let anyone be by my side, right?"

"This is the best." The emperor said, "Xiu'er, your hands are a little cold? Isn't you feeling uncomfortable?"

"No. I am born to be afraid of the cold, and every winter, I always feel very sad - this is something I have been there since I was a child, so the emperor doesn't have to worry about me."

The emperor looked down at her and warmly combed her hair hanging from her forehead, "In the fourth year of Xianfeng, I remember that you were pregnant, but you had miscarriage for this period, right?"

The queen sighed, "It's probably because the child doesn't want to come to this world, right? I'm just because I'm not blessed and can't add any more children to the Tian family."

"I and you are still young, and you are the kindest. Even if Guanyin wants to send her children, she will be the first to give you - why are you worried about these things?" The emperor said, "Oh, from tomorrow, don't live in Zhongcui Palace. I will let the Interior Office repair it more carefully, fill these windows, door frames, etc. again - the small people said: The holes are as big as needle holes, and the wind is strong! You are afraid of cold and cold, so let's go to Baoyue Tower for the time being."

The queen was startled, "Go to Baoyue Tower?"

"Yes, it was built by Emperor Gao’s favorite in the Western Regions. It is all Muslim style. Almost all the stone is used. In addition to being airtight, there is also a hammam. I will ask the Imperial Hospital to prepare some warm medicinal materials. You can use it to bathe, which will be of great benefit to you."

The queen felt warm in her heart, and she almost burst into tears for her husband's love and pity. However, Baoyue Tower is west of the Forbidden Garden, far from the Hall of Peace. If she moved there, I am afraid that the couple, who were not many, would have chatted even less: "The emperor cherishes me, and I feel inexplicably. However, Baoyue Tower is far away and it is a cold winter season. So I don't mention the emperor going there. I am in a cold place on the road. I can't bear it..."

The emperor burst into laughter, "I understand," he said, "You can't bear to leave me, right?"

The queen's charming face was red, but she nodded bravely, "I dare not deceive my master, I really can't bear to leave the emperor."

"That's it? Then forget it. But Zhongcui Palace can't live for the time being. You can move to Yangxin Palace. Don't mention it during the day, and at night, it's better to talk to me."

The queen was very surprised. The Hall of Yangxin was the emperor's bedroom. Even if there were signs to recruit concubines to stay in the bedroom, they always wanted to move back to their bedroom before dawn. How could they let themselves live there? "Your Majesty, isn't this... suitable?"

"What's wrong with it? My words are the rules, and it's decided. It won't take long. During the day, you talk in your sister's palace and come to the palace at night. When the matter at Zhongcui Palace is completed, you can move it back, won't it be better?"

After being surprised, the queen liked it and smiled and nodded, "I will receive the order, thank you."

The emperor hugged her in his arms and kissed her cheek lightly. At the moment of your affection, he suddenly paused for a moment: "Oh, I suddenly had a good idea. However, I have to trouble the queen's Feng Jia and do me a favor."

The emperor rarely stayed overnight. The queen kissed him so passionately. After hearing his words, he hesitated and asked in a nickname, "The emperor has something to do, just say it. Why... he still asks to help?"

"No, this matter is indeed a bit difficult." The emperor helped her up, "You go to the Yangxin Palace tomorrow and ask the soldiers of Guangwu Camp in public to let me save their lives. What do you think?"

The queen hurriedly sat up in love, "Go to the Hall of Yangxin?" After being shocked, she was a little excited, her eyes fluttered and dimmed, and she shook her head and said, "...I dare not... that's not the same as what I sang in the playbook and the drum lyrics... You are the Holy Lord, and these people have the way to die, what should I say..."

The emperor smiled and said, "I will teach you that their ministers are your slaves. When you enter the palace, they must kneel down honestly. What are you afraid of? The saint king also has to be virtuous and later worthy! Just say that although soldiers violate military laws, they are unpardoned, but they are in a panic in their first battles. When they are fighting against the enemy, they can also be called bravery. Besides, they heard that these surviving soldiers, from the leadership of the first battalion to the soldiers of the common people, are all injured. From this point of view, the soldiers are still willing to serve the country, and this alone is enough to avoid their death penalty. It is better to let go of this and leave it alone, and to contribute to the country in the future - see who can refute it?"

The queen was excited and looked at her husband affectionately, saying, "The emperor has his own destiny, so I will naturally obey the order. But this is a kind of interference in politics. If you leave someone with the emperor's words to obey the sinners, how can it be good?"

"Don't worry about this level. I still have my life. In short, this kind of thing will not be a precedent." The emperor's mind was calm and relaxed. "Think about it, saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. You have saved more than 300 lives with one word of kindness. If you build more than 200 pagodas, think about it, God has a spirit, how can you give blessings to you?"

"The emperor is wrong. It's just more than two thousand layers of pagoda." The queen giggled.
