The emperor laughed twice, and quickly took out an exquisite dagger from his sleeve. Leng Yi discovered that this dagger was given to Fang Jinyan by Zhao Huaishan. It must be that the emperor had turned over Fang Jinyan's room in the past few days. All things that he could use to see things and think about people were brought back to the palace.
The emperor pulled out the sheath of the dagger but it was still on the ground, then put the tip of the knife on his neck and said to the Queen Mother: "Grandma, if you really don't want your grandson to go today, then please When you visit my grave next year, you should also go and see Jin Yan."
Seeing that the emperor was not joking, Leng Yi rushed forward quickly and hit the emperor's wrist with a palm when the tip of the knife stabbed the emperor's fair and smooth neck with lightning speed.
There was a bang, and before anyone could react, the dagger had already fallen at the emperor's feet, and the emperor's neck was still scratched, with blood oozing out.
With a buzzing sound in her head, the Queen Mother stumbled back to the chair and sat down. She was sweating profusely, her face was pale, and she looked at the emperor in front of her tremblingly.
Leng Yi stepped forward and shouted at the guards in a low voice, then walked to the emperor and looked at the injury, and said to Sun Qi: "Hurry up and get the imperial doctor over."
Sun Qi hurried away.
Seeing that the emperor was not frowning, Leng Yi knew that the emperor was having a heated argument with the empress dowager today, so he said to the empress dowager: "I beg the empress dowager to help the emperor." After saying that, he knelt down and saluted.
The Queen Mother sat there stunned for a long time, and then she woke up. He knew that if he didn't let the emperor go now, the emperor might really hurt his dragon body. Looking at Fang Jinyan's body was a trivial matter. Even if everyone in the world laughs at an emperor who opened the coffin and performed an autopsy on his aunt, it is better than risking his own life. Thinking of this, the Queen Mother said softly: "Then I'll trouble you, Mr. Leng, to accompany you there." Let's go." After saying that, he closed his eyes, no one wanted to take another look.
After a while, the imperial doctor came over to tell him how to treat the emperor's wounds, and Leng Yi took the emperor to prepare to leave the palace. When he reached the palace gate, he saw his butler standing at the palace gate, looking around anxiously.
"Oh, sir, you finally came out. Go back quickly, the second lady is about to give birth!" The butler's face was sweating anxiously. When he saw the emperor and his master coming out, he knelt down and saluted the emperor. While speaking to Leng Yi eagerly.
The emperor then said: "It's disappointing. As the saying goes, if there is good news or bad news in the family, and my aunt is giving birth, you'd better not go with me. Don't be tainted with bad luck. After all, it's a matter of opening the coffin and doing an autopsy, and nothing else. , you should go back quickly."
Leng Yi was still calm when he saw the emperor. But Bai Hong has twins again at home this time, thinking about what would have happened if Fang Jinyan hadn't been there last time. He stopped insisting and gave a few careful instructions before getting into the carriage and heading back home.
Two months later, the emperor went to Suzhou, Hangzhou and other places based on the Jiangnan disaster relief money embezzlement case, and severely punished corrupt officials along the way, which was praised by the people. After arriving at Yingtian Mansion, he personally went to the fields to inquire about the farming conditions, and sat cross-legged with the people, chatting and laughing. , these things quickly spread among the people, and two months later, the emperor arrived at Zhaoxi Village, Yuhang County, where he stayed for a few days and then left.
Leng Yi still stayed in the capital, and the accompanying officials would rush 500 miles every three days to report to Leng Yi on the emperor's trip. Although it seemed that the people were very positive about the emperor's performance, saying This was the most people-friendly emperor in history, but Leng Yi knew that the emperor's coffin opening and autopsy in Xiangguo Temple had not come to an end. He had no selfish motives, because when he opened the coffin, the people inside were already highly intoxicated. Apart from the nauseating stench, it probably left no other impression on the infatuated emperor.
"My lord, I heard from Xiao Luzi who was beside the emperor that the emperor was going to stay in Yingtian Mansion for a while when he was coming back, and I heard that the governor there actually said that he wanted to build some kind of winter hunting ground for the emperor in the famous Helian Mountain in Yingtian Mansion. "The person who came back to report the letter said after Leng Yi read the letter.
Leng Yi put the letter on the candle and lit it, then placed it in a stone basin aside. He clapped his hands and said, "Since the emperor listened to people's opinions and worked very hard to resolve people's concerns along the way, I want to stay in Yingtian Mansion for a few days." That¡¯s how it should be.¡±
The messenger bowed and said, "What Mr. Liu means is that the governor of Yingtian Mansion is very good at flattering people and using clever words. I am afraid that something will happen if you are not around."
Leng Yi laughed and said: "Jun Chen, Jun Chen, are you afraid that your positions have been reversed?"
The person who reported the news quickly knelt down and said: "I don't dare, but Mr. Liu asked me to bring you a message. Now that you are not with the emperor, the emperor seems to be a little happy."I miss Shu. "
"How brave!" Leng Yi shouted sharply.
The person who reported the news was so frightened that he knelt down and kept saying he didn't dare.
Leng Yi sneered and said: "This world belongs to the Song Dynasty. You and I are all subjects of the Song Dynasty. Don't forget who the emperor of the Song Dynasty is. He can do whatever he wants. There is no private discussion for us as ministers. The emperor¡¯s principles.¡±
"I will die if I am a low-ranking official! I will never dare to speak nonsense again. Please atone for my sins."
Leng Yi waved his hand and said, "That's all. Go back and tell Mr. Liu that you only need to take good care of and protect the emperor. Nothing else you don't have to worry about."
After the messenger went out and closed the door, Bai Hong walked out from behind the screen. Dressed in a blue and white gauze skirt, her figure was still as slender, but with a little more charm.
Leng Yi stood up and helped Bai Hong sit down on the soft couch aside, then thoughtfully placed a cushion behind her for her to lean on.
"Isn't it true that your imperial nephew is pretending to be hunting and going up the mountain to find someone?" Leng Yi poured a cup of tea for Bai Hong and handed it to her hand.
Bai Hong took it and smiled: "To be honest, I have learned a lesson. It has been four months and he is still not selfish. But he is really the one you brought out. He is not inferior at all. He actually knows how to return to the world again." Ying Tianfu goes to look for him."
Leng Yi nodded: "If you can't find it in the market town, you will go to the fields to ask for news. There are so many of them and they have a big target. The emperor knows that once many strange faces appear in one place, they will naturally attract the attention of the local people. Therefore, It¡¯s not easy to make so many people disappear into thin air at once.¡±
Bai Hong took a sip of tea, then put down the cup and said, "Isn't it true? We said that Yudian was too sad, so he refused to follow us back, and instead returned to Zhaoxi Village. You see, the emperor really worked hard to achieve this. Knowing that the village has gone, I am afraid that from ancient times to the present, there has never been an emperor who cares about the people's sentiments as much as our Heng'er." After saying that, he and Leng Yi burst out laughing.
"Fortunately, we have considered this before. Fortunately, Jinyan and Zhixuan are not with their mother and younger brother. Ziyuan and Yuzhu can take good care of them. Now, Yudian can also quickly go to meet Fang Jinyan and the others. , because with the emperor¡¯s character, he shouldn¡¯t turn around and go back to look for him again.¡± Leng Yi said.
Bai Hong thought for a while and said: "Guanren, you have reminded me that this matter should not be underestimated. In case the emperor just makes a feint, and then has someone kill him, or place someone next to Yudian to keep him calm. Follow the raindrops, this"
When Leng Yi heard what Bai Hong said, he praised: "After all, Bai Hong is the head of the organization. I'll leave this matter to you. It's not convenient for me to come forward. In case the Queen Mother's eyeliner or the Emperor's eyeliner notices it, Neither is good.¡±
Bai Hong smiled sweetly at Leng Yi: "It's just a trivial matter, it's nothing to worry about. It's just the official's orders."
Leng Yi stood up and walked around for two steps, and then said to Bai Hong: "It's already the first month of the year. According to the agreement in advance, they can't contact us just in case, but it's been five months. I don't know if they How are you living there? Now that the emperor is wandering there, it is inconvenient for them to go out to find food. Alasit's really"
Bai Hong smiled and said: "Didn't you ask Fang Lizi to take a few people to deliver things in disguise last month? It's only been a month, so there should be no problem. Now that we go too frequently, we will find something for them." Troublesome."
Leng Yi could only nod, his expression still very worried.
At the same time, there is a mountain called Qinglian Mountain that is far away from Helian Mountain on the boundary of Yingtian Mansion. It looks more steep than Helian Mountain. It is also said that tigers and wild beasts often appear in this mountain, so there are no homes or fields at the foot of the mountain. , less than half an hour after entering the mountain, a cliff blocked the way. If you want to get over, you must have good qinggong, or go up from the other end of the mountain, but there are cliffs everywhere on the other end. , it is even more difficult to go up the mountain, so the mountain is also called the Soul Cliff by the locals.
In fact, there is a universe within the Soul Cliff. After entering the mountain, it takes about two hours to walk, and you can see the vast plains. There are about 30 acres of land very flatly located in the valley, surrounded by mountains on all sides, and there are mountains on the east and west sides. A hundred-foot-high waterfall flows down, and then falls into a bottomless pool. The scenery in the mountains is pleasant, and there are countless wild fruits and vegetables. It is really a paradise on earth.
Right here, I don¡¯t know when several thatched houses were erected, and then bamboo buildings were built next to the thatched houses. In less than half a year, this paradise has become quite large. In addition to houses, There are vegetable plots, orchards, and livestock are planted, making it look like living at home.
?"Jinyan, where are you? Come back. Brother has cooked a lot of delicious food for us. If you don't come back, you won't be able to eat anything." After the words fell, he saw a stone wall built from the back of the mountain. In the room, a woman wearing a blue headscarf and dressed as a village woman, about seventeen or eighteen years old, walked out of the room with a smile on her face, holding an earthen bowl.
