Chapter 2: The Emperor's Love
As it was the winter solstice, Zhu Yu wanted to invite all the ministers at the Baohe Palace banquet, first go back to the Ganqing Palace to change his clothes, and then walk along the corridor covered with stones.
He raised his head and looked into the plaque in Kunning Palace. After receiving the news, King Hao led his army to approach the capital... After thinking for a while, he went to the Queen's East Nuan Palace. When he arrived at the Ming Dynasty, he saw four or five eunuchs dragging a bloody man out.
When the emperor suddenly came, the crowd hurriedly performed a kneeling ceremony. Zhu Yu lowered his eyes and swept across the blood-soaked skirt. He must be a palace maid who was punished for committing crimes.
He walked straight into the room, and the palace maid in front of the door raised a curtain, and someone had already reported it.
Zhu Yu entered the room, and Empress Xia quietly stood up to welcome him to the warm kang. The palace maid poured tea. He pinched the small white glaze bell in Ding kiln and shook it and put it back on the kang.
Xia Qian sneered, holding the pot and pouring it down for a minute, blowing away the heat and ate it, and his tone was hard to describe: "The emperor no longer has to worry about who will poison you. The slut who is hiding his eyes, cut off his tongue, scratched his face, and used a knife to cut a blood hole in her heart, pull out her heart and liver and put it into a can, and sent it to the emperor's soul for me to pay tribute."
Zhu Yu's heart sank, but he didn't express his voice: "It's good that the queen likes it! But..." He looked around the palace maids who were trembling around: "The queen has been in the palace for a long time, always being dignified and wise, and being generous and kind to the people of the world. Recently, she has repeatedly abused the palace people, either dead or injured. If it is spread, it will lose your virtue and hurt the royal family's dignity."
He paused, his voice was hard to be so gentle: "As soon as the war broke out, the harem was peaceful and peaceful, so that your father could be unlucky, loyal and uphold my country, and wait for the rebellion to be quelled and the future is long, and I and the queen will have another dragon heir."
"There is another dragon heir?" Xia Qian murmured and suddenly clapped her hands and laughed. Tears were about to flow out of her laughter. It turned out that there was such a person in this world who had a great heart and a lie, and could speak brightly in the sky.
Zhu Yu turned away in anger and walked away. After walking far away, he could still hear the harsh laughter. He raised his face gloomy, stood in front of the corridor, and ordered him to bring the official Kunning official's father-in-chief.
While waiting, the west wind was rising and the red clouds were covered with red clouds. He looked at the single eaves of the hall in the distance, and the yellow glass tiles were covered with heavy snow. The eunuch trotted all the way and lit up the colorful palace lanterns.
He heard the pine branches creaking, and heard someone report that the father-in-law in charge has arrived, and there is a sound of kneeling and bowing, and he never asked. The father-in-law in charge has started from the humiliation of Aunt Fangmu at Mrs. Shen, and she cried to the Queen and supported her. I don’t know how to take Aunt Fangmu back to the bedroom, and then he lost his life, and he was told in detail from beginning to end.
Zhu Yu put his hand behind him and asked slowly: "What did the palace maid admit to him when she was tortured?"
The manager's father-in-law lowered his head and replied: "Aunt Fangmu was personally tried by the Queen, and he never heard clearly what slaves he had recruited outside the curtain."
Zhu Yu waved his hand and asked him to leave, stood up expressionlessly, and then he said to his close servant Eunuch Yin: "The queen is crazy and violent, and the crime of harming the palace servants is unforgivable. It is not beneficial to keep it any more. On the day when the King Hao's army came to the city to confront me, you should bring the jar of plum blossom wine for her to eat. If you refuse, you will pour it into your throat."
Eunuch Yin agreed that, Zhu Yu got off the stairs and walked slowly. He felt that the snow was particularly good. Thinking that the King Hao was suffering from hunger and cold day and night, he felt more and more happy.
When the palace chief saw the emperor coming, he hurriedly ordered a Qingping music and led all the ministers into the hall to stand in two groups on both sides. Zhu Yu sat down and kowtowed the ministers three times. After the ceremony, he sat on both sides and started serving food.
But I saw: purple smoke rises in the hall, bright pearls are shining on the hall, music surrounds the yellow beams, singing and dancing are spread across the building, outside the window is covered with jade mills, inside the window is filled with flowers, and the Shangshu Shaoqing, all of them are full of fame and fortune; the generals are hard to fill, but I just think that there is wine today and drunk today, so I don’t care if I worry about tomorrow.
There is also a poem that says: The cups and cups are full of slander, and there is no real truth when you exchange cups and drinks.
One word tells the ruthlessness between the king and the ministers and the ministers.
Qin Yanzhao came up to toast, and said respectfully, "I wonder if Feng Shunyu is still going well in detention in the palace? In the end, there is a love affair. I hope the emperor can accompany her."
Xu Bingyong frowned, but Zhu Yu smiled: "What's wrong? I'll let her go to the palace to get together with you." He ordered his close servant to invite him.

Besides, Shunyu fell asleep and leaned on the bed to read books. The new palace maid was still young and dared not come in to disturb her when she was guarding the curtain. The room was quiet and silent.
Suddenly, I heard a foot and foot sound in the corridor. The palace maid could not stop it. The warm curtain had been lifted up. Shunyu looked up and said, "The emperor ordered Mrs. Shen to go to Baohe Palace to attend the banquet, and he must not be delayed!"
Shunyu hesitated a little: "When the Winter Solstice invites the princes and ministers, how can a woman be allowed to enter the palace!"
Eunuch Yin answered impatiently: "You dare to question the emperor's orders, but you really don't know how high the world is."
It is said that it is better to offend a gentleman than to make a grudge with a villain. Shunyu said that if you want to dress and dress up, please avoid it. Only then did Eunuch Yin snort and go out to wait.
Shunyu's heart is as clear as a mirror, and Zhu Yu ordered her to show up in front of all civil and military officials, intending to humiliate her!
He only applied makeup lightly, looked for a simple dress to wear, then put on a cloak, and held an oil umbrella, and asked the palace maid to carry a red cage to shine on the road, following Eunuch Yin through the corridor and passed through the hall.

The city gate is closed.
Yang Yan sat in the office to approve the document of leaving the city. It is the winter solstice, and celebrating the exchanges is just like the New Year Festival. The wine and food sent by the people piled up the empty table.
Miao Yisun Li and other five or six minor officials patrolled the city and returned, their faces turned blue and purple, and they sat in front of the large copper brazier to keep warm.
Yang Yan glanced at them: "Why don't you eat wine and meat to drive away the cold?"
Miao Yisunli and others hurriedly thanked him, and then they went to open a bun of oil paper. There were more than a dozen pieces of braised five-spice beef. They poured the soju into the copper stew and set it on the fire to warm it. They still didn't dare to enjoy it alone. They first brought the wine and meat to Yang Yan. Yang Yan curled his lips and disdained: "How can such inferior things enter my noble mouth? You can eat whatever you want!"
Miao Yisunli and him had some time together. He knew that he had become accustomed to his nature, and thanked him again, and sat back to his original place to eat and drink.
A little girl who had just left her head raised the curtain and exposed her face, looking at Miao Yi timidly: "Mom, waiting for her father to go back to celebrate the festival, but the table of dishes has not moved!"
Miao Yi squinted his eyes and turned Yang Yan's face. Then he asked the girl to come to her with confidence, handed her a piece of cooked beef, and swallowed it in a blink of an eye, but he didn't even taste it, and he seemed to be hungry.
Yang Yan frowned, looked at the girl's dirty look, and said to Miao Yi and the others: "You all go home! I'm on duty here, remember to come and take the time to replace me after two hours!" Another sentence: "Take away every meal on that table."
