Wishing You Eternal Happiness

When the **** finished reporting the news, he smiled and looked at Li Yuangui happily. Seeing that his eyes lit up and he was happy, but before he laughed, the happyness suddenly froze, as if thinking of something bad again, he couldn't help but wonder, and whispered: "God father, what's the matter with you?"

Only then did Li Yuangui come back to his senses, smile again on his face, nodded and said: "Good news. You wait for now, I'll go back to long live."

Li Yuangui turned around, and the smile on his face disappeared again.

The jade seal that had been lost for many years reappeared in the sky, and the place was presented with auspicious auspiciousness, indicating that the present is the emperor’s destiny. This was originally a great and good thing, but at this time, I found out that it happened to be in the Zhen family in Quanzhou. Seeing the sun again in the dock, such a coincidence, why Li Yuangui could not understand the internal reasons.

Pei Youan even considered this step. This hand arrangement, like the eye of the sky in a chess game, fell in one shot and completely blocked the emperor's way. The meticulous mind is beyond the reach of ordinary people, and it can be regarded as exhaustive.

But this also illustrates one point. When he was doing that, he was fully prepared and arranged for everyone around him. However, he would rather bear the emperor’s thunderous wrath and was determined to Not changing, even willing to use his life to protect the boy.

In this matter, how firm Pei Youan's decision is, the emperor's ensuing anger will be so great.

Li Yuangui knew this well, so he couldn't imagine how terrifying the emperor's anger would be if he reported the news to him at this time.

He suppressed the anxiety that was welling up in his heart, entered, and carefully said the news that he had just heard.

In the past few days, there have been a lot of things in the court, inside and outside the court, discussing matters, summoning ministers, reviewing memorials, and the emperor’s place is not as smooth as before. To this day, the case has piled up memorials that have not been seen for a few days, unprecedented. Seeing that when Li Yuangui entered the words, the emperor was bowing his head while composing the memorial, while listening to him while criticizing. He heard that the Zhen family dug out the jade seal of the country because of the construction of the dock. The people of Quanzhou thought that auspiciousness descended from heaven, Gao Huaiyuan It was sent over day and night, his expression froze suddenly, and the hand holding the pen was also frozen in the air, motionless.

The emperor slowly raised his head, his eyes widened, and he looked ahead, as if someone was standing there, and the hand holding the pen began to tremble slightly.

A drop of ink gradually condensed to the tip of the pen, and as the emperor's hand continued to tremble, it dripped and splashed on the memorial page under the pen.

"Long live!"

Although I didn't see the fury that I was most worried about, the emperor's appearance at this moment was really scary.

Li Yuangui called out when he saw his face gradually turning pale.

The emperor shook his shoulders slightly and closed his eyes. The pen tube in his hand gradually became crooked and slipped weakly from his fingers.

"Long live beware of the dragon body!"

Li Yuangui hurriedly supported him.

The emperor closed his eyes, supported his forehead with his hands, and remained motionless for a long while.

"Long live if you feel unwell, the slave and maid will call the emperor's doctor!"

Li Yuangui raised his head and wanted to call into the palace.

"No need."

The emperor opened his eyes slowly, his voice a little hoarse.

"I'm fine..."

He said again, sitting, his face gray, his eyes dim, his eyes straight.

Li Yuangui has been with him for decades. Even when he was suppressed most severely by Emperor Tianxi and King Shun'an earlier, he had never seen such a tired appearance. He was a little frightened and worried.

"Long live……"

"Those Gao Huaiyuan, you can take a look on my behalf, and settle down first. I'm a little tired, so let's go to rest first..."

"These memorials, save them until tomorrow..."

The emperor murmured at last, got up slowly, and walked out, his steps a little heavy.

...

In the early morning of the next day, the civil and military officials learned that the jade seal of the country was actually found in Quanzhou not long ago. Coincidentally, it was found in the dock of Pei Youan Yue’s family. The governor of Fujian guarded the auspicious day and sent it to the capital last night. After hearing the news, the people beat the gongs and drums this morning and rushed out to greet them.

Hundred officials were delighted and sang praises to the emperor one after another.

The emperor sat on the dragon chair and pointed to the official book of the Ministry of Rites to arrange the welcoming seal. The jade seal was finally placed in a gold plate, and passed by the hands of hundreds of officials, kneeling in turn, and finally presented before the emperor's throne.

The emperor had a solemn expression and held the seal in his hand, which was stamped on the ceremonial sacrificial article written by the Hanlin Academy urgently. However, he saw a bright red seal on which there were eight seal characters, "Destined to the heaven, longevity and longevity", with clear lines and lines. Clear. All the officials were excited, and bowed all together, shouting long live.

With a smile on his face, the emperor rewarded the meritorious officials of Fujian Yiying and the Zhen family one by one, and then announced a palace banquet to show their congratulations. The hundred officials thanked for their gratitude. That night, after the palace banquet was over, he mentioned the Zhen family. For the second contribution, it is inevitable that Pei Youan will be contacted again.

This rumored jade seal of the country had disappeared with the death of the young emperor in the past. During the years when King Shun’an was in power, although he had searched for it in secret, but it had not been whereabouts. In these years, many courtiers believed that the jade seal It should have been taken away by the young emperor, and now the jade seal has appeared again and presented it to Jin Shang in a way of descending auspiciousness from the sky. It is undoubtedly helping the emperor declare orthodoxy to the people of the world. It is an order from the heaven. It can be said that the credit is not small. When mentioning it, everyone envied Pei Youan’s luck. Although people are far in the southwest, he showed a big face in front of the emperor this time. When he comes back from the southwest next time, he will add more merits, but I don’t know how to do it. All those who are rewarded are envious.

It was night, after the palace banquet, the emperor returned to the harem, staggering a bit, he should have drunk more, lay down, closed his eyes, and fell asleep in drunkenness.

The emperor did not call the concubines to sleep in—in fact, after entering the palace, the emperor rarely summoned those concubines, and never once after the crown prince was abolished. Li Yuangui knew this in his heart. The emperor was depressed and unhappy these days, and was drunk again tonight.

Late at night, there was a faint drumbeat from the Drum Tower, and Li Yuangui gradually became tired. Seeing that the emperor seemed to be sleeping well, he got up from the couch, beat his waist, and was about to exit the sleeping hall. Suddenly, he heard a few words from the dragon bed. A vague and dreamy voice: "A Jing...A Jing..."

Li Yuangui squeezed, and quickly looked back at the door of the sleeping hall, and saw the two night eunuchs leaning far away beside the pillars in the corner of the outer hall, dozing off, Fang heaved a sigh of relief, hurried back to the dragon bed, and whispered "Hurray." ".

Xiao Lie opened his eyes, his gaze was blank for a moment, and then he sat up slowly, tranced for a moment, and asked in a low voice, "What's the change?"

"Long live, it hasn't been a moment since the third watch. Long live is thirsty? The slave will bring you water."

Xiao Lie took the water, drank it in one breath, then lay back, and didn't turn over again.

Li Yuangui stayed by for a while, seeing the emperor motionless, thought he had fallen asleep again, tiptoe, and was about to leave, suddenly heard a low voice behind him: "I want to go to Ci'en Temple."

If the trip takes place tonight, this will be the emperor's third night visit to Ci'en Temple since he entered Beijing.

Li Yuangui was startled slightly, and then he whispered.

...

When Pei Youan arrived at Ci'en Temple, the fourth watch had just passed, which was the darkest moment in the long night.

Everything was silent.

He stopped in front of the courtyard and looked at Li Yuangui, slightly puzzled.

"Master Pei, go in, Long live waiting for you inside."

Li Yuangui bowed towards him, and then stepped back.

Pei Youan hesitated for a moment, suppressed the strange feeling that welled up in his heart, pushed open the concealed door, and walked in.

No one was seen in the courtyard, and there was a dim light in the room where he had talked with the emperor that night.

He walked toward the light, opened the door, and saw a lotus seat on the table. There was a stick of incense in the incense burner in front, and the green smoke curled up. The emperor turned his back to the door, as if staring at the lotus seat for a long time. Look like.

Pei Youan bowed to the back, Xiao Lie slowly turned around, ordered him to get up, and looked at him for a long time without saying a word.

The emperor's face was haggard, with a few strands of blood remaining after drunkenness in his eyes, but his eyes were deep, staring at him like this, the original rigid facial features gradually softened.

The strange feeling in Pei Youan's heart became stronger.

He looked at the lotus position on the table, and saw that the name on it was not the posthumous title bestowed by Emperor Tianxi after his aunt died, but the extremely simple "Pei's maiden name Wen Jingsheng Xilian", he couldn't help but slightly. Startled, he hesitated: "I don't know what long live the sinners are called here late at night, what's the matter?"

Xiao Lie turned his head and said to the lotus position: "You'an, come over, bow down to your biological mother, and salute."

Pei Youan's expression froze, his gaze fell from the lotus position to Xiao Lie's body, and then from Xiao Lie back to the lotus position, saying: "Long live, the criminal minister has arrived here and saw the aunt's lotus position. It’s a duty to worship oneself. It’s really hard to understand the words of Long Live.

"You'an, you are not the son of Duke Wei Guo, Duke Wei Guo is really your uncle, and I am the father of your life!"

Xiao Lie was authentic.
