Cheng Yujin feels speechless. As a child, she really can't put too much pressure on her children, otherwise she will become abnormal when she grows up.
Cheng Yujin felt disgusted and had to take the initiative to lean on Li Chengjing. Li Chengjing's neck is white and slender. Cheng Yujin looks at it from a close distance and suddenly has a bad heart. Her fingers scratch his collar: "like this?"
Li Chengjing did not move, glanced at her and said: "bravado, I don't know you? That's all you have
Cheng Yujin listened to everything but could not be questioned. When is the best time for a girl to be seen? Cheng Yujin really loosened his collar, scratched his fingers inside and circled his chest.
Li Chengjing nodded, a master to see the expression of the apprentice: "children can teach."
Cheng Yujin is annoyed and pinches him lightly. Li Chengjing grabs her hand across the clothes, picks her eyebrows and says with a smile, "do you want to change the place?"
Cheng Yujin's face turned red: "dirty!"
"What did I say, you call me mean?"
Cheng Yujin angrily pulls back her hand, and her ears are red. Li Chengjing sighed silently that she had been decompressed after she got married. She sighed in her heart that she was still in decline. She heard Cheng Yujin say, "Your Highness, King Shou shakes in front of the saint every day. Not only does he give you some eyedrops, but also queen Yang has solved her foot ban. Don't you do anything to knock him? "
Li Chengjing Tut, said: "can you change the topic more obviously?"
Cheng Yujin refused to admit defeat. Li Chengjing sighed and said, "I don't understand the customs."
Cheng Yujin glared at him angrily: "I'm talking business with you. Don't interrupt."
This is really a grievance. Li Chengjing has become the one interrupting. Li Chengjing had no choice but to accept his fate, and in such a beautiful atmosphere, he explained to the princess who was concerned about state affairs: "a person's heart will be biased, but the world will not. Shouwang is too young. He is well protected by the Yang family and empress Yang. So far To put it bluntly, they are all naive. At his age, I passed the entrance examination and became an official in other places, but he still played tricks that can be seen through at a glance. I know that he smeared me in front of the emperor, and other people know that, so it's not enough to be afraid. "
No real power, no people, no fame, only a clever mouth, what can be afraid of? Li Chengjun doesn't threaten Li Chengjing at all. Of course, Li Chengjing is willing to be a big brother and let him jump.
Cheng Yujin sighed and said, "the emperor is too eccentric. He doesn't think about it. How can he recuperate without you and enjoy his family with his second highness? "
"It's not that he's partial, it's that he doesn't care about me at all." Li Chengjing calmly said, "I didn't stay with him for long. I'll see you again. It's the palace examination in the 19th year of Jianwu. I'm just for him. The symbolic meaning is greater than the real person. The monarch and minister are greater than father and son. The symbol of Prince is greater than son. To put it bluntly, I'm just a strange courtier who took part in the palace examination and was later reused by the emperor. "
"Your Highness..."
"I'm fine." Li Chengjing took Cheng Yujin's hand and laughed, "I thought I cared. After that day, I found that I didn't take him as a father. In terms of feelings, he is not as good as Marquis Cheng. He is also a symbol to me
Li Chengjing put these words out, found his heart knot is also a little bit scattered. In fact, he didn't stay with the emperor for long. Although the emperor raised him personally and did everything by others, it was before he was five years old. How long can a five-year-old remember. After he was separated at the age of five, Li Chengjing didn't see the emperor again until he was sixteen.
Five to sixteen is enough to transform one person into another. In fact, Li Chengjing did not remember what the emperor looked like before the palace examination.
When he took a long look at the palace examination, he found that the emperor was totally different from what he had imagined. He thought that when he finally met his father, he would be excited, adored and depressed, but at that moment, he felt nothing but relief of completing the task.
The emperor must have been even more so to him. Alienation, strangeness, temptation, not closeness. Although they are father and son, they are actually no closer than ordinary monarchs and ministers. They are no better than the second prince who grew up as a son.
The emperor's partiality for the second prince and his pity for Empress Yang who has been with him for many years can be understood by Li Chengjing. But it doesn't mean it's acceptable.
The Zhong family can give up queen Zhong's hatred and live a good life, but Li Chengjing can't.
He can't get over himself.
Li Chengjing silently clenches Cheng Yujin's hand. It's just a matter of who's going to spend more than who, who's right and who's wrong, who's winning and who's losing, just wait.
Cheng Yujin is silent. The relationship between Li Chengjing and the emperor's father and son is already fragile. After so much wind and rain, the Yang family fell down, and their father and son eventually became enemies. Any language is extremely pale. Cheng Yujin hugs Li Chengjing silently. They cuddle together for a while. Li Chengjing holds Cheng Yujin and goes inside.
Cheng Yujin didn't struggle. No one is a wall of iron. No matter how powerful Li Chengjing is, he will be vulnerable. At the moment, he must be in great need of comfort.The emperor finally brought down Yang Fucheng and Empress Dowager Yang. For the first time in 25 years since he ascended the throne, he felt what an emperor should be like. He held great power and was arrogant. He was waiting to show his strength, but his head disease broke out from time to time, which restrained the emperor's energy. Naturally, he has no time to display his grand idea.
The emperor was very angry with his head disease, but the best imperial medical team had nothing to do with it. The emperor has tried acupuncture, medicine and massage, but the effect is limited. When the headache attacks, it can't be relieved at all. He can only survive on his own.
Gradually, the emperor no longer believed in the imperial doctors, but put his hopes on some divine and Buddhist skills. He wants to be healthy, but he wants to live forever.
The second prince listened to the advice of his staff and introduced some strange people to the emperor. One of them, a Taoist priest, is thin, fine and hale. His name is empty and scattered. He said that after saving a white deer in Zhongnan mountain, he was rewarded by the immortal deer and gave it longevity medicine. He went into the mountain to search for the traces of the white deer. After finding no trace, he lived in seclusion in Zhongnan mountain for 200 years, and now he finally gets the road.
Chongxu Sanren is an immortal. He looks like an outsider. He really has the style of seclusion. The emperor was immediately attracted by each other's strange fortune. The emperor inquired about Chongxu Sanren for a long time, and then listened to his experience of cultivating Taoism. After a long time, he was convinced that Chongxu Sanren was a guest of honor.
From then on, Chongxu scattered people frequently went into and out of the palace to teach the emperor the way to prolong life. I don't know what he gave the emperor to eat. After taking it, the emperor really felt that his headache was greatly relieved, and even his body was light. Therefore, the emperor was more convinced of Chongxu Sanren, and set up a Yinghua hall in the northwest corner of the Forbidden City, dedicated to offering sacrifices to the immortals and asking for immortals.
The emperor stayed in Yinghua hall day by day, not caring about foreign affairs, and not allowing others to disturb him when he was practicing. Because Chongxu Sanren was introduced by the second prince, who was obedient to the emperor. The second prince also became one of the few people who could go in and out of Yinghua hall at will.
The good emperor went to practice Taoism, and the ministers were very upset. It may be true that Chongxu scattered people to save deer, but they didn't believe it after living for 200 years. But who let the emperor believe that even if the officials were worried, they could only bear it.
Because of the frequent entrance and exit of the alchemists, the Forbidden Palace became a mess. Li Chengjing didn't believe a word of those Taoists, but because of the emperor, he couldn't say anything.
The emperor had been disappointed in medical skills because he could not get rid of his headache for a long time. If Li Chengjing stopped the emperor from seeking Tao, it would seem that he had other intentions. Li Chengjing thought that he was very patient, but it was not enough for those Taoists to search for gold, silver and jewelry, so he slowly turned his attention to the power of the imperial court.
Everyone is like this. It's impossible to be contented. When you have money, you want power.
Chongxu Sanren know that the crown prince has a high prestige, and has a deep reputation both in the folk and in the court. He did not dare to point out that he was going to build a white deer terrace. According to him, when Kuafu created heaven and earth, his pure Qi ascended, his turbid Qi descended, and his earth was created. If he practiced in the place nearest to heaven, he could get twice the result with half the effort. The success of Chongxu Sanren's cultivation depends entirely on the guidance of white deer. Therefore, it is necessary to build a towering white deer terrace. Perhaps this way, the sacred deer of that year will be attracted back and the emperor will be given the medicine of longevity again.
The emperor was immediately agitated and immediately ordered the construction of bailutai. Because the deer is like what, how can we attract the deer has the final say, so how to repair the white deer stand is also decided by a person.
All of a sudden, the six departments were dissatisfied with such a big project. However, these Taoists still tell us what to do. Today they say it's wrong, and tomorrow they accuse that person of slacking his work. They are very arrogant. All the officials of the six departments are elites of orthodox Jinshi origin, who have been registered as officials. Everyone who can stand here is the best among scholars. Taoists, however, are not good fangshushi. In the past, Taoists were not even qualified to see them. Now, these local ruffians and hooligans are stepping on their heads and making comments. How can civil servants tolerate it?
People kept coming to complain to Li Chengjing. At first, Li Chengjing could bear it, but when he saw that the emperor was going to do his best to build a high platform, he finally couldn't bear it. He went to tell the emperor that it was ridiculous.
Last year, there were floods and pestilence. At this time, it was time to recuperate and reduce taxes. As a result, the emperor wanted to build a useless White Deer terrace. It was not ridiculous. However, where did the emperor listen to these words now? Chongxu Sanren, in particular, said in the emperor's ear several times these days that the prince deliberately blocked bailutai because he didn't want the emperor to get the elixir.
The prince's intention is very subtle.
The emperor was suspicious. After listening to Li Chengjing's admonition, he was furious. He felt more and more that what Chongxu scattered people said was true. Li Chengjing really had a bad heart. The emperor denounced Li Chengjing, stopped the power of assisting the prince, banned the eastern palace, and handed over the assistant administration to the second prince. In addition, the second prince was pure filial, loyal, and fully responsible for the construction of bailutai.
Kunning palace.
Empress Yang heard the report from the maid of honor, and quickly came out: "jun'er."
"Mother." The second prince quickly stepped forward to salute empress Yang, and was forcibly stopped by Empress Yang: "jun'er, come in and talk."
After taking the second prince into Kunning palace, empress Yang immediately held back the crowd and left the mother and son to speak alone. Empress Yang asked, "jun'er, how is the emperor these days?""Father Huang took the pill of Chongxu powder and felt it was very good for his health. Chongxu Sanren promised that in ten days, he would turn on the furnace again to refine the elixir for his father
"Longevity pill?" Empress Yang frowned and asked, "can you really live forever?"
The second prince shook his head and said, "I don't know. But after father Huang took it, he said that the first attack was not as frequent as before. I think it's really useful. "
Empress Yang seemed to understand, and thought that maybe she really met a living immortal. Empress Yang thought for a while, quietly told the second prince: "jun'er, this scattered person is really a God. You can't offend him, but don't get too close to him. If scattered people want to take you to practice Taoism, you can't promise, you know?"
These people are strange temper, Queen Yang especially afraid of each other suddenly rise, with the second prince around the world, if you live in seclusion for another hundred and eighty years, Queen Yang will have no place to cry.
"I know." The second prince nodded and said, "my son will never leave his mother behind. I'll just do the job my father has given me. I'm afraid my father will be suspicious if I'm too close to the Taoist priest. "
Empress Yang suddenly thought of something and asked in a low voice, "what about the prince?"
Mother and son look at each other and understand each other's meaning. Speaking of suspicion, the emperor's most suspicious now is the prince.
The prince is strong, and he has become more and more meritorious these years. The seeds of the emperor's suspicion have been buried for a long time. Recently, because of the longevity incident, it completely exploded.
Of course, a good Dao is a favorite for the king, but if it is too sharp, it will even cut the master's hand, it will be broken.
If Li Chengjing wants to blame him, he will blame himself for being too sharp. After all, he is only a reserve king. How can he surpass the official one?
The second prince replied in a low voice: "because the prince repeatedly dissuaded his father, he completely annoyed him. In recent days, he has been banned in the eastern palace, and his right to participate in politics has been removed, and his full power has been transferred to his children's ministers. "
Empress Yang took a breath when she heard the news. When empress Yang and Yang Shoufu were there, they tried their best to achieve the goal that they couldn't do what they could. Empress Yang's heart can't help but grasp tightly. She feels more and more that she is seeking wealth and wealth in danger. The mantis catches cicadas and the Yellow sparrow is behind.
Empress Yang quickly told her son: "it's not easy to get the power of assistant government. You must keep it well. The emperor is angry now, but after all, he is the heir who has been cultivated for many years. Maybe after a few days, when your father's anger dissipates, he will still favor the prince. If power can be given to you, it can also be taken away. You must show your ability well during this period of time. "
"I understand." The second prince said, suddenly showing some hesitation, "mother, to tell you the truth, in recent days, Chongxu scattered people have revealed the meaning of willing to support children's ministers. The son minister couldn't make up his mind, and he didn't dare to get too close to the Taoist priest, which made him suspicious, so he didn't reply to the letter. Chongxu Sanren also said that if I agree with his proposal, he will spare no effort to speak for me in front of his father and will give me the credit for offering Changsheng pill. Only when it's done, make him a national teacher. "
Empress Yang is also in a dilemma. In fact, empress Yang is not good at these circles, especially in the political situation. She can't understand them at all. If empress dowager Yang is here at the moment, or if Yang Shoufu is there at the moment, that would be good.
Empress Dowager Yang and Yang Shoufu have been floating in the Vanity Fair for many years, and they have a keen sense of politics. Empress Yang only listened to her father and aunt. She enjoyed her happiness in the harem for many years and never worried about the affairs of the imperial court. In her opinion, everything in court has nothing to do with her, which is something that her father and aunt should worry about. Now that the umbrella is gone, empress Yang is pushed to the front of the stage to see everything.
How can she understand the interest relationship between various parties? Although the second prince was better than empress Yang, he was no better.
The second prince was regarded as the hope of the whole family by Empress Dowager Yang and Yang Shoufu. He grew up under the protection of dense wind. In the past 17 years, he has only devoted himself to his studies and devoted himself to filial piety in front of all his elders. He has his own way to establish a reserve. This led to the second prince's splendid life and smooth journey, but in fact, his mind did not keep up.
What he has now is not his own. Without Yang Fucheng's escort in front of him, the second prince faced the cabinet and Shangshu's refined old foxes alone, and his childishness was at a glance.
Just as now, Chongxu Sanren shows his kindness to him, the second prince doesn't know whether to take it or not. If empress dowager Yang and Yang Shoufu are alone at this time, we can immediately see the calculation behind Chongxu Sanren. But there was no such thing as "if". The second prince couldn't make up his mind, so he had to come and ask empress Yang.
But empress Yang is also a maverick, she thought for a long time, think the emperor so trust Chongxu scattered people, more people say good words to the second prince, there is no need to stop. Empress Yang said, "since he has a heart, it's OK for you to take it for the time being. In any case, when you call yourself emperor in the future, it's up to you to decide whether or not to seal the imperial master? The emperor is deeply troubled by his head disease. When the elixir is refined, he will be very happy. If you offer it, the credit will fall on you. It can also remind the emperor that he has given the eldest son a lot of ambition. On the contrary, you, who have been forgotten all the time, are the real pure filial piety people. "After hearing this, the second prince stood up and arched his hand: "what my mother said is that I remember. Take good care of your mother. We have a long way to go. "
Hearing this, empress Yang couldn't help feeling sour in her eyes. She pressed the corners of her eyes with her handkerchief and said, "you should be careful. Although Dou Xiyin has done something wrong, she is sincere to you after all. Now that she has been deprived of the title of princess, she can only live in shouwangfu anonymously. Maybe she will suffer a lot of grievances. After all, she's your cousin. When you go back, you can take more care of her. "
"I understand. It's getting late. My son has come to the palace. I'm leaving. "
During this period, the rest of the capital was not peaceful. In the front hall of Ciqing palace, the officials of the East Palace are arguing fiercely.
An aide said: "now the emperor is close to the treacherous and sycophantic, superstitious in the alchemists, and even listens to the words of villains and suspects his highness, which is really the disaster of our Dynasty. Your highness, now I see the emperor give your authority to Shouwang. Shouwang goes in and out of Yinghua hall all day and has a close relationship with Chongxu people. Your highness, you should be on guard early. "
These words are undoubtedly the voice of all people, and we should be in harmony. One of the aides stood up and bowed his hand to Li Chengjing: "Your Highness, I have a plan for my humble position. I don't know whether to speak or not."
Li Chengjing nodded faintly: "but it's OK to say so."
"In my humble position, I believe that everything is established in advance, and it will be abandoned if it is not done in advance. Although the emperor has always been wise and generous, but at this time the emperor was deceived by the treacherous and sycophantic, it is difficult to guarantee that he would be more suspicious of his highness. In case your highness does not plan
"What's your plan?"
"Your Highness, the backyard is vacant now. You might as well take a concubine to consolidate the power of the east palace. It happened that general Dong Da, governor of zuoye in the fifth military camp, had a daughter who was as good as a pearl. I heard that Miss Dong admired her highness very much. She was moved by his Highness's deep affection for the crown princess. She was willing to demote herself as a concubine and serve her highness. His highness might as well take the Dong family as his side imperial concubine. In this way, all the troops of zuoye in the fifth military camp fall into his Highness's hands. Moreover, Miss Dong does not seek fame. She envies that her highness and the crown princess are immortal couples. She volunteered to serve her highness and the crown princess as concubines, which would not embarrass the crown princess. The crown prince and princess have always understood the meaning of this move. Your highness might as well consider it. "
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
Cheng Yujin feels speechless. As a child, she really can't put too much pressure on her children, otherwise she will become abnormal when she grows up.
Cheng Yujin felt disgusted and had to take the initiative to lean on Li Chengjing. Li Chengjing's neck is white and slender. Cheng Yujin looks at it from a close distance and suddenly has a bad heart. Her fingers scratch his collar: "like this?"

Empress Yang asked, "jun'er, how is the emperor these days?""Father Huang took the pill of Chongxu powder and felt it was very good for his health. Chongxu Sanren promised that in ten days, he would turn on the furnace again to refine the elixir for his father
"Longevity pill?" Empress Yang frowned and asked, "can you really live forever?"
The second prince shook his head and said, "I don't know. But after father Huang took it, he said that the first attack was not as frequent as before. I think it's really useful. "
Empress Yang seemed to understand, and thought that maybe she really met a living immortal. Empress Yang thought for a while, quietly told the second prince: "jun'er, this scattered person is really a God. You can't offend him, but don't get too close to him. If scattered people want to take you to practice Taoism, you can't promise, you know?"
These people are strange temper, Queen Yang especially afraid of each other suddenly rise, with the second prince around the world, if you live in seclusion for another hundred and eighty years, Queen Yang will have no place to cry.
"I know." The second prince nodded and said, "my son will never leave his mother behind. I'll just do the job my father has given me. I'm afraid my father will be suspicious if I'm too close to the Taoist priest. "
Empress Yang suddenly thought of something and asked in a low voice, "what about the prince?"
Mother and son look at each other and understand each other's meaning. Speaking of suspicion, the emperor's most suspicious now is the prince.
The prince is strong, and he has become more and more meritorious these years. The seeds of the emperor's suspicion have been buried for a long time. Recently, because of the longevity incident, it completely exploded.
Of course, a good Dao is a favorite for the king, but if it is too sharp, it will even cut the master's hand, it will be broken.
If Li Chengjing wants to blame him, he will blame himself for being too sharp. After all, he is only a reserve king. How can he surpass the official one?
The second prince replied in a low voice: "because the prince repeatedly dissuaded his father, he completely annoyed him. In recent days, he has been banned in the eastern palace, and his right to participate in politics has been removed, and his full power has been transferred to his children's ministers. "
Empress Yang took a breath when she heard the news. When empress Yang and Yang Shoufu were there, they tried their best to achieve the goal that they couldn't do what they could. Empress Yang's heart can't help but grasp tightly. She feels more and more that she is seeking wealth and wealth in danger. The mantis catches cicadas and the Yellow sparrow is behind.
Empress Yang quickly told her son: "it's not easy to get the power of assistant government. You must keep it well. The emperor is angry now, but after all, he is the heir who has been cultivated for many years. Maybe after a few days, when your father's anger dissipates, he will still favor the prince. If power can be given to you, it can also be taken away. You must show your ability well during this period of time. "
"I understand." The second prince said, suddenly showing some hesitation, "mother, to tell you the truth, in recent days, Chongxu scattered people have revealed the meaning of willing to support children's ministers. The son minister couldn't make up his mind, and he didn't dare to get too close to the Taoist priest, which made him suspicious, so he didn't reply to the letter. Chongxu Sanren also said that if I agree with his proposal, he will spare no effort to speak for me in front of his father and will give me the credit for offering Changsheng pill. Only when it's done, make him a national teacher. "
Empress Yang is also in a dilemma. In fact, empress Yang is not good at these circles, especially in the political situation. She can't understand them at all. If empress dowager Yang is here at the moment, or if Yang Shoufu is there at the moment, that would be good.
Empress Dowager Yang and Yang Shoufu have been floating in the Vanity Fair for many years, and they have a keen sense of politics. Empress Yang only listened to her father and aunt. She enjoyed her happiness in the harem for many years and never worried about the affairs of the imperial court. In her opinion, everything in court has nothing to do with her, which is something that her father and aunt should worry about. Now that the umbrella is gone, empress Yang is pushed to the front of the stage to see everything.
How can she understand the interest relationship between various parties? Although the second prince was better than empress Yang, he was no better.
The second prince was regarded as the hope of the whole family by Empress Dowager Yang and Yang Shoufu. He grew up under the protection of dense wind. In the past 17 years, he has only devoted himself to his studies and devoted himself to filial piety in front of all his elders. He has his own way to establish a reserve. This led to the second prince's splendid life and smooth journey, but in fact, his mind did not keep up.
What he has now is not his own. Without Yang Fucheng's escort in front of him, the second prince faced the cabinet and Shangshu's refined old foxes alone, and his childishness was at a glance.
Just as now, Chongxu Sanren shows his kindness to him, the second prince doesn't know whether to take it or not. If empress dowager Yang and Yang Shoufu are alone at this time, we can immediately see the calculation behind Chongxu Sanren. But there was no such thing as "if". The second prince couldn't make up his mind, so he had to come and ask empress Yang.
But empress Yang is also a maverick, she thought for a long time, think the emperor so trust Chongxu scattered people, more people say good words to the second prince, there is no need to stop. Empress Yang said, "since he has a heart, it's OK for you to take it for the time being. In any case, when you call yourself emperor in the future, it's up to you to decide whether or not to seal the imperial master? The emperor is deeply troubled by his head disease. When the elixir is refined, he will be very happy. If you offer it, the credit will fall on you. It can also remind the emperor that he has given the eldest son a lot of ambition. On the contrary, you, who have been forgotten all the time, are the real pure filial piety people. "After hearing this, the second prince stood up and arched his hand: "what my mother said is that I remember. Take good care of your mother. We have a long way to go. "
Hearing this, empress Yang couldn't help feeling sour in her eyes. She pressed the corners of her eyes with her handkerchief and said, "you should be careful. Although Dou Xiyin has done something wrong, she is sincere to you after all. Now that she has been deprived of the title of princess, she can only live in shouwangfu anonymously. Maybe she will suffer a lot of grievances. After all, she's your cousin. When you go back, you can take more care of her. "
"I understand. It's getting late. My son has come to the palace. I'm leaving. "
During this period, the rest of the capital was not peaceful. In the front hall of Ciqing palace, the officials of the East Palace are arguing fiercely.
An aide said: "now the emperor is close to the treacherous and sycophantic, superstitious in the alchemists, and even listens to the words of villains and suspects his highness, which is really the disaster of our Dynasty. Your highness, now I see the emperor give your authority to Shouwang. Shouwang goes in and out of Yinghua hall all day and has a close relationship with Chongxu people. Your highness, you should be on guard early. "
These words are undoubtedly the voice of all people, and we should be in harmony. One of the aides stood up and bowed his hand to Li Chengjing: "Your Highness, I have a plan for my humble position. I don't know whether to speak or not."
Li Chengjing nodded faintly: "but it's OK to say so."
"In my humble position, I believe that everything is established in advance, and it will be abandoned if it is not done in advance. Although the emperor has always been wise and generous, but at this time the emperor was deceived by the treacherous and sycophantic, it is difficult to guarantee that he would be more suspicious of his highness. In case your highness does not plan
"What's your plan?"
"Your Highness, the backyard is vacant now. You might as well take a concubine to consolidate the power of the east palace. It happened that general Dong Da, governor of zuoye in the fifth military camp, had a daughter who was as good as a pearl. I heard that Miss Dong admired her highness very much. She was moved by his Highness's deep affection for the crown princess. She was willing to demote herself as a concubine and serve her highness. His highness might as well take the Dong family as his side imperial concubine. In this way, all the troops of zuoye in the fifth military camp fall into his Highness's hands. Moreover, Miss Dong does not seek fame. She envies that her highness and the crown princess are immortal couples. She volunteered to serve her highness and the crown princess as concubines, which would not embarrass the crown princess. The crown prince and princess have always understood the meaning of this move. Your highness might as well consider it. "
Cheng Yujin feels speechless. As a child, she really can't put too much pressure on her children, otherwise she will become abnormal when she grows up. Cheng Yujin felt disgusted and had to take the initiative to lean on Li Chengjing. Li Chengjing's neck is white and slender. Cheng Yujin looks at it from a close distance and suddenly has a bad heart. Her fingers scratch his collar: "like this?" Li Chengjing did not move, glanced at her and said: "bravado, I don't know you? That's all you have Cheng Yujin listened to everything but could not be questioned. When is the best time for a girl to be seen? Cheng Yujin really loosened his collar, scratched his fingers inside and circled his chest. Li Chengjing nodded, a master to see the expression of the apprentice: "children can teach." Cheng Yujin is annoyed and pinches him lightly. Li Chengjing grabs her hand across the clothes, picks her eyebrows and says with a smile, "do you want to change the place?" Cheng Yujin's face turned red: "dirty!" "What did I say, you call me mean?" Cheng Yujin angrily pulls back her hand, and her ears are red. Li Chengjing sighed silently that she had been decompressed after she got married. She sighed in her heart that she was still in decline. She heard Cheng Yujin say, "Your Highness, King Shou shakes in front of the saint every day. Not only does he give you some eyedrops, but also queen Yang has solved her foot ban. Don't you do anything to knock him? " Li Chengjing Tut, said: "can you change the topic more obviously?" Cheng Yujin refused to admit defeat. Li Chengjing sighed and said, "I don't understand the customs." Cheng Yujin glared at him angrily: "I'm talking business with you. Don't interrupt." This is really a grievance. Li Chengjing has become the one interrupting. Li Chengjing had no choice but to accept his fate, and in such a beautiful atmosphere, he explained to the princess who was concerned about state affairs: "a person's heart will be biased, but the world will not. Shouwang is too young. He is well protected by the Yang family and empress Yang. So far To put it bluntly, they are all naive. At his age, I passed the entrance examination and became an official in other places, but he still played tricks that can be seen through at a glance. I know that he smeared me in front of the emperor, and other people know that, so it's not enough to be afraid. " No real power, no people, no fame, only a clever mouth, what can be afraid of? Li Chengjun doesn't threaten Li Chengjing at all. Of course, Li Chengjing is willing to be a big brother and let him jump. Cheng Yujin sighed and said, "the emperor is too eccentric. He doesn't think about it. How can he recuperate without you and enjoy his family with his second highness? " "It's not that he's partial, it's that he doesn't care about me at all." Li Chengjing calmly said, "I didn't stay with him for long. I'll see you again. It's the palace examination in the 19th year of Jianwu. I'm just for him. The symbolic meaning is greater than the real person. The monarch and minister are greater than father and son. The symbol of Prince is greater than son. To put it bluntly, I'm just a strange courtier who took part in the palace examination and was later reused by the emperor. " "Your Highness..." "I'm fine." Li Chengjing took Cheng Yujin's hand and laughed, "I thought I cared. After that day, I found that I didn't take him as a father. In terms of feelings, he is not as good as Marquis Cheng. He is also a symbol to me Li Chengjing put these words out, found his heart knot is also a little bit scattered. In fact, he didn't stay with the emperor for long. Although the emperor raised him personally and did everything by others, it was before he was five years old. How long can a five-year-old remember. After he was separated at the age of five, Li Chengjing didn't see the emperor again until he was sixteen. Five to sixteen is enough to transform one person into another. In fact, Li Chengjing did not remember what the emperor looked like before the palace examination. When he took a long look at the palace examination, he found that the emperor was totally different from what he had imagined. He thought that when he finally met his father, he would be excited, adored and depressed, but at that moment, he felt nothing but relief of completing the task. The emperor must have been even more so to him. Alienation, strangeness, temptation, not closeness. Although they are father and son, they are actually no closer than ordinary monarchs and ministers. They are no better than the second prince who grew up as a son. The emperor's partiality for the second prince and his pity for Empress Yang who has been with him for many years can be understood by Li Chengjing. But it doesn't mean it's acceptable. The Zhong family can give up queen Zhong's hatred and live a good life, but Li Chengjing can't. He can't get over himself. Li Chengjing silently clenches Cheng Yujin's hand. It's just a matter of who's going to spend more than who, who's right and who's wrong, who's winning and who's losing, just wait. Cheng Yujin is silent. The relationship between Li Chengjing and the emperor's father and son is already fragile. After so much wind and rain, the Yang family fell down, and their father and son eventually became enemies. Any language is extremely pale. Cheng Yujin hugs Li Chengjing silently. They cuddle together for a while. Li Chengjing holds Cheng Yujin and goes inside. Cheng Yujin didn't struggle. No one is a wall of iron. No matter how powerful Li Chengjing is, he will be vulnerable. At the moment, he must be in great need of comfort.The emperor finally brought down Yang Fucheng and Empress Dowager Yang. For the first time in 25 years since he ascended the throne, he felt what an emperor should be like. He held great power and was arrogant. He was waiting to show his strength, but his head disease broke out from time to time, which restrained the emperor's energy. Naturally, he has no time to display his grand idea. The emperor was very angry with his head disease, but the best imperial medical team had nothing to do with it. The emperor has tried acupuncture, medicine and massage, but the effect is limited. When the headache attacks, it can't be relieved at all. He can only survive on his own. Gradually, the emperor no longer believed in the imperial doctors, but put his hopes on some divine and Buddhist skills. He wants to be healthy, but he wants to live forever. The second prince listened to the advice of his staff and introduced some strange people to the emperor. One of them, a Taoist priest, is thin, fine and hale. His name is empty and scattered. He said that after saving a white deer in Zhongnan mountain, he was rewarded by the immortal deer and gave it longevity medicine. He went into the mountain to search for the traces of the white deer. After finding no trace, he lived in seclusion in Zhongnan mountain for 200 years, and now he finally gets the road. Chongxu Sanren is an immortal. He looks like an outsider. He really has the style of seclusion. The emperor was immediately attracted by each other's strange fortune. The emperor inquired about Chongxu Sanren for a long time, and then listened to his experience of cultivating Taoism. After a long time, he was convinced that Chongxu Sanren was a guest of honor. From then on, Chongxu scattered people frequently went into and out of the palace to teach the emperor the way to prolong life. I don't know what he gave the emperor to eat. After taking it, the emperor really felt that his headache was greatly relieved, and even his body was light. Therefore, the emperor was more convinced of Chongxu Sanren, and set up a Yinghua hall in the northwest corner of the Forbidden City, dedicated to offering sacrifices to the immortals and asking for immortals. The emperor stayed in Yinghua hall day by day, not caring about foreign affairs, and not allowing others to disturb him when he was practicing. Because Chongxu Sanren was introduced by the second prince, who was obedient to the emperor. The second prince also became one of the few people who could go in and out of Yinghua hall at will. The good emperor went to practice Taoism, and the ministers were very upset. It may be true that Chongxu scattered people to save deer, but they didn't believe it after living for 200 years. But who let the emperor believe that even if the officials were worried, they could only bear it. Because of the frequent entrance and exit of the alchemists, the Forbidden Palace became a mess. Li Chengjing didn't believe a word of those Taoists, but because of the emperor, he couldn't say anything. The emperor had been disappointed in medical skills because he could not get rid of his headache for a long time. If Li Chengjing stopped the emperor from seeking Tao, it would seem that he had other intentions. Li Chengjing thought that he was very patient, but it was not enough for those Taoists to search for gold, silver and jewelry, so he slowly turned his attention to the power of the imperial court. Everyone is like this. It's impossible to be contented. When you have money, you want power. Chongxu Sanren know that the crown prince has a high prestige, and has a deep reputation both in the folk and in the court. He did not dare to point out that he was going to build a white deer terrace. According to him, when Kuafu created heaven and earth, his pure Qi ascended, his turbid Qi descended, and his earth was created. If he practiced in the place nearest to heaven, he could get twice the result with half the effort. The success of Chongxu Sanren's cultivation depends entirely on the guidance of white deer. Therefore, it is necessary to build a towering white deer terrace. Perhaps this way, the sacred deer of that year will be attracted back and the emperor will be given the medicine of longevity again. The emperor was immediately agitated and immediately ordered the construction of bailutai. Because the deer is like what, how can we attract the deer has the final say, so how to repair the white deer stand is also decided by a person. All of a sudden, the six departments were dissatisfied with such a big project. However, these Taoists still tell us what to do. Today they say it's wrong, and tomorrow they accuse that person of slacking his work. They are very arrogant. All the officials of the six departments are elites of orthodox Jinshi origin, who have been registered as officials. Everyone who can stand here is the best among scholars. Taoists, however, are not good fangshushi. In the past, Taoists were not even qualified to see them. Now, these local ruffians and hooligans are stepping on their heads and making comments. How can civil servants tolerate it? People kept coming to complain to Li Chengjing. At first, Li Chengjing could bear it, but when he saw that the emperor was going to do his best to build a high platform, he finally couldn't bear it. He went to tell the emperor that it was ridiculous. Last year, there were floods and pestilence. At this time, it was time to recuperate and reduce taxes. As a result, the emperor wanted to build a useless White Deer terrace. It was not ridiculous. However, where did the emperor listen to these words now? Chongxu Sanren, in particular, said in the emperor's ear several times these days that the prince deliberately blocked bailutai because he didn't want the emperor to get the elixir. The prince's intention is very subtle. The emperor was suspicious. After listening to Li Chengjing's admonition, he was furious. He felt more and more that what Chongxu scattered people said was true. Li Chengjing really had a bad heart. The emperor denounced Li Chengjing, stopped the power of assisting the prince, banned the eastern palace, and handed over the assistant administration to the second prince. In addition, the second prince was pure filial, loyal, and fully responsible for the construction of bailutai. Kunning palace. Empress Yang heard the report from the maid of honor, and quickly came out: "jun'er." "Mother." The second prince quickly stepped forward to salute empress Yang, and was forcibly stopped by Empress Yang: "jun'er, come in and talk." After taking the second prince into Kunning palace, empress Yang immediately held back the crowd and left the mother and son to speak alone. Empress Yang asked, "jun'er, how is the emperor these days?""Father Huang took the pill of Chongxu powder and felt it was very good for his health. Chongxu Sanren promised that in ten days, he would turn on the furnace again to refine the elixir for his father "Longevity pill?" Empress Yang frowned and asked, "can you really live forever?" The second prince shook his head and said, "I don't know. But after father Huang took it, he said that the first attack was not as frequent as before. I think it's really useful. " Empress Yang seemed to understand, and thought that maybe she really met a living immortal. Empress Yang thought for a while, quietly told the second prince: "jun'er, this scattered person is really a God. You can't offend him, but don't get too close to him.
