Your Majesty will suffer

early spring.

When it's warm and cold, I often accompany Feiwei.

Morning rain and evening sunshine, late plum blossoms under the setting sun, have a special feeling.But it's a pity that the spring flowers are still there, and people's affairs are not the same. Walking in the courtyard, I wanted to relieve my heart, but I didn't expect to see the scene and hurt my heart.

Leaning on the railing for a long time, thinking about parting sometimes, I don't know what kind of mood that person is now.

It is sinking to the west day by day, the north wind is blowing, and the high places are extremely cold.I just went downstairs and walked in the garden, but I heard that the queen came to see me.

Xuan Jin.

After a while, the queen arrived.

Shi Li got up, Yue Ling saw at first glance that the woman in front of him seemed to be thinner and taller than the last time he met, but the difference was only three or five days, so he knew it was an illusion.

Just speaking, Empress Sima is really slender, standing among a crowd of maids, she seems to stand out from the crowd!But it's a pity that the roundness is not enough, and the face is born with a long and slashed face. No matter how you look at it, it can hardly be called beautiful.Fortunately, although she is not outstanding in appearance, after all, she was born in a noble family, well-educated, well-educated, and has a calmness and calmness that is rarely seen in ordinary women, which is the so-called model of motherhood.

"It's getting late, Your Majesty is better off with the wind and cold. It's not advisable to stay here for a long time. It's better to go back to the palace to rest." The tone of the voice was not rushed, but there was always a hint of timidity in the voice.In fact, since the time of meeting, her eyes have been lowered, and she has never raised them to look directly at the person in front of her.But why is it so strange?Twenty-eight young girls, who entered the palace for a short period of time, let them be cautious, but it is inevitable that they sometimes show timidity in front of the emperor.

Yue Ling couldn't bear to refuse her kindness, besides, it was the right time, so it's better to go with the flow.

The government affairs are busy, and Yue Ling has not been in good health for the past six months, and his headache and dizziness are getting worse, so there is no need to ask more about the harem.In this way, the middle palace cannot be left without a master!Years ago, after the court repeatedly asked for the establishment of a new family, Yue Ling finally chose the plain-looking but respectful and modest Sima family under Lu Zi's advice.

It's just that Empress Sima is young after all, and the affairs of the harem are full of emotions, so she has many doubts when she first started.Fortunately, the officials are not demanding of her, even though they often come here, they are not close, but every time they see her, they can be described as amiable, which naturally moves the empress, and from then on she studies the internal affairs more diligently, even sleepless.When the officials learned about it, they praised him even more.

Speaking of the present, the setting sun is still good, although Yue Ling promised to go back to the palace, but he was far away from the near ones, wandering around in the garden for half a day, it seemed that he still had a lot of fun.

Along the way, the empress was no longer as cautious as she was just now. After answering the officials' questions, she also talked about her recent achievements in internal affairs.

However, it is quite astonishing to say that the annual expenses in the palace were settled last year. After looking through the financial records of the inner government, I realized that this has been the case over the years. The expenses in this palace have always only increased. The expenditure is not enough, and it needs to be supplemented by the inner library!Although the will of this situation is not allowed to be leaked out, there are criticisms from outsiders who have heard about it.

Think back to the beginning of Daliang's founding of the country, the total number of people in the palace was less than three hundred, but after four dynasties, up to now, the number of single concubines and concubines in the palace has already exceeded a thousand!Because of this cost, how can it be small?According to this, if we talk about the method of reducing expenses, the first thing to do is to get rid of redundant palace people.

When Yue Ling first heard this, he didn't say yes or no, but just smiled: "In Qing's opinion, how many palace people should be released? But there are so many concubines, concubines, and servants in the palace, who should be the first to be eliminated?"

The empress seemed to have thought about this a long time ago, and replied: "Officials are self-disciplined, and the number of concubines is considered to be small in the harem of all dynasties. Therefore, concubines and concubines should not be eliminated here. You can choose some more appropriately! Those maids who are not young may wish to be eliminated. Also, there are middle officials. The concubine recently checked the names and found that many internal officials are over sixty years old and still in office. Since Taizu, there has been a decree that among the eunuchs who are banned from serving, the oldest eunuchs who are no more than [-] years old should be appointed officials! If this order is followed, the number of middle-ranking officials who will be eliminated will be quite considerable."

Yue Ling just listened and didn't answer.

The front is close to the gate of the inner garden, but at this moment, he keeps his footsteps, turns around, and goes to the flower pavilion.

The palace people have been ordered to retreat far away.Yue Ling Fang said leisurely: "It's good for you to be diligent in studying politics, but you must remember that you should not act too hastily! As you think, I already know that redundant staff in the palace is indeed a chronic problem. Miscellaneous servants in the palace can also be discretionary." Let it go, but let's not mention the matter of Zhongguan again."

The queen was stunned when she heard that, she knew that there must be something wrong with what she just said, but she didn't know where it was wrong.

Yue Ling knew what she wanted, but he was not in a hurry to clear up his doubts. He turned around and looked at the flowers and trees in the courtyard, and asked, "Your Majesty, do you have any objections to the flowers and trees in the garden?"

The queen couldn't figure out the holy meaning, so she didn't dare to speak easily, and murmured.

Yue Ling smiled slightly: "There were a few old trees under the north wall, which were craggy and abrupt. I was very dissatisfied when I saw them in the early years, so I ordered someone to shovel them and replant them. However, it is easy to push the trees, but it is difficult to remove the roots! The palace people are impatient. To make space for new seedlings to be replanted, so digging the roots deep, who would have thought that it would take a lot of effort, because these trees are old, and the roots are intertwined underground, entangled everywhere, and some even go over the wall to tie the outside. Can it be easy?"

Confused, the queen raised her head to look under the north wall, and asked tentatively, "But this old tree will eventually be eradicated?"

Yue Ling nodded his head: "However, it took a lot of trouble after all! The roots are tangled, and uprooting will inevitably cause accidental injury. Therefore, some flowers and trees around are uprooted at the same time. This is not a pity. The wall was damaged by digging back and forth, and a piece gave way, injuring the tree digger."

The queen's complexion suddenly changed, she pondered for a long time, and then said: "The official's intention is..."

Yue Ling had already stepped down the steps slowly, and when he heard it, he looked back: "What I mean is that if you don't seek the end, you can act arbitrarily. Even if your original intention is good, you will inevitably hurt yourself. You have not entered the palace for a long time, and you have to think twice about everything." Then talk and act later.”

The queen came to a sudden realization, and hurriedly bowed down: "The official admonition, the concubine will remember it!"

After leaving the back garden, Yue Ling was about to return to the Funing Hall, but the Queen invited her to the Huaqing Pavilion, because a few days ago, a minister presented four young beauties into the palace, and they were placed in the Huaqing Pavilion right now.I think there is nothing to do at night, so please go and see me.

Yue Ling knew but said no, and ordered these women to be returned.

The queen was puzzled.

Yue Ling sighed with a smile: "If I really accept this gift, I can't think of it for a few days, and the top critics will come in one after another, counting my immorality and licentiousness. I still have a headache, and I don't want to worry about it anymore. disease."

The queen covered her mouth and smiled, but then she was worried: "The imperial doctor said that the official family should rest more and not be overly exhausted. However, the official family has a lot of things to do every day, so they can't be idle. This is not good for recuperation. According to my concubine After this time, it is getting warmer day by day, and the color of spring is getting better, why don't the officials move to Jinghua Garden or Yichun Garden, and stay for a while to nourish the saints, it is also the best choice."

Yue Ling shook his head and chuckled: "I'd like to have some leisure, but it's not that easy..."

The queen raised her eyebrows: "Your Majesty has long been troubled by state affairs, which has caused Shenggong to suffer losses, but he should fulfill his wish at the right time! In any case, it is not the luck of the world that Shenggong is not hesitant!"

Yue Ling smiled wryly and remained silent.

Back in the inner hall, Sun Shixiang, the emperor of medicine, and Xu Zeng, the medical officer, were waiting quietly.

Yue Ling has been ill for a long time in recent years, and said that he had not recovered from his previous illness, and he contracted a cold a few days ago.In this way, the medical officers entered and exited the inner hall more frequently.

Speaking of a headache and dizziness in the upper district today, but it has not been cured for a long time, Sun Shixiang is ashamed and disturbed, but he is also unavoidably suspicious, fearing that one person's diagnosis is wrong, so he summons the whole hospital to make a diagnosis, but the final conclusion is not the same as It was the same as before: Qi and blood deficiency!As for the difficulty in healing, it is because of overthinking. Although the blood energy can be replenished with medicine and stones, the spirit is difficult to nourish, which makes it difficult to completely cure the disease.

Besides, after asking the doctor right now, Sun Shixiang gave a few more instructions as usual, nothing more than resting more, avoiding fatigue and fatigue, etc. These are all clichés.Only the medical officer Xu Zeng on the side seemed to be thinking, and he hesitated to speak for several times.

When he was about to leave, Xu Zengcai said cautiously: "Your Majesty felt restless sleep and palpitations. This should be caused by qi stagnation and blood stasis blocking the heart. Let's talk about the disease..."

Before the words were finished, Sun Shixiang was taught to interrupt: "This is an old disease, and it's just a temporary phenomenon. What's the use of mentioning it now?"

Xu Zengdao: "Generally speaking, the disease of blood is not difficult, but there are exceptions. Let's say that your Majesty's disease, if you ignore the cause of blood deficiency, is actually caused by blood stasis!"

Sun Shixiang said: "If that's the case, Mr. Sun also used the method of acupuncture to get rid of stasis for His Majesty. Why hasn't the effect been obvious so far?"

Xu Zeng frowned, seemingly hesitant.

Yue Ling saw that he was in trouble, and said, "Since Qing has some guesses, it doesn't hurt to speak up."

Xu Zeng bowed and said: "I am still thinking about this matter. Although I have some guesses, it is a family story after all. I dare not lie before the Holy Spirit. Please allow time for your Majesty to discuss it with your colleagues after returning. Dare to make a conclusion!"

Since he said so, Yue Ling had no choice but to agree.

After leaving the Palace of Funing and walking to a secluded place, Sun Shixiang suddenly stopped, turned around and grabbed Xu Zeng's sleeve, and said bitterly: "Doctor Xu, what did you mean just now? Are you trying to embarrass the old man in front of the emperor?"

Xu Zeng was startled, but immediately calmed down, and said: "Xu Fengyu calm down, I have absolutely no intention of doing so! Today, I have a headache and dizziness, which cannot be cured for a long time. Today, I just want to take this opportunity to ask the inside story again, and I did not inadvertently hurt Fengyu." royal."

Sun Shixiang snorted coldly, turned around and walked two steps away, saying: "Then, have you figured out the reason now?"

Xu Zeng murmured: "Recently Xu looked through the old books and found that there was an experience of falling from a horse and being injured today, so he was suspicious..."

Sun Shixiang was startled, and walked away with frowned eyebrows.

"There are many reasons for the headache, but if it is caused by trauma, it may not be easy to cure! Naturally, it has been a long time since I fell off the horse. This old injury should not be a serious problem for a while, but if it goes on for a long time, it may worsen. "At this point, seeing that Sun Shixiang seemed to be depressed, he changed the subject and said: "Thinking that Sun Fengyu is good at acupuncture, if he can find out where the root knot is, he will apply acupuncture to the symptom, and then supplement it with decoction for removing blood stasis. Transfer."

Sun Shixiang's face was gloomy, and he didn't say yes or no.

Seeing this, Xu Zeng hesitated a little, then thought for a moment, and then said: "It's just that Xu is still worried about another matter at the moment, and he feels palpitations, which is a sign of blood stasis in the heart, if it is not caused by stagnation of Qi Cause, then, it may also be related to the fall injury that year! Trauma and heart arteries and lungs, it can be cured at that time, but it is easy to relapse after years, so Feng Yu should have foreseen it."

Sun Shixiang stood with his back, although he was speechless for a while, his face became more and more gloomy. . .

After the rain in February, it cleared up at the beginning of March, and the spring/brightness in the whole city is good.

On the bank of Nancheng Lake, there is a ten-mile long dike, green willows are like smoke, and apricot blossoms are like clouds.

Walking along the lake, looking at the mansion under the shade of flowers and trees from a distance, but can't bear to get close.

Looking back on the lake, I don't know who is painting the boat, singing the spring breeze of peach blossoms, which makes people feel sad.

In the afterglow of the setting sun, the scenery everywhere seems to arouse the hurt, it is better to go back.

Walking in the busy city, although there is a flood of pedestrians, you can't find an acquaintance's face in the end, and it makes people feel melancholy out of thin air.

Full of wounds, without realizing it, she arrived in front of Nangong Mansion---or should I say, the former Nangong Mansion.At this moment, its Zhumen is closed tightly, and there is no light inside, but on the side of the east wall, the shadow of the whirling tree can be seen-it should be the pink cherry tree in the atrium!Or lack of care, it is obvious that the flowers are not as good as in previous years.

After all, it is a desolate and unbearable look.

This house has been vacant since that person left, even after Nangong Ying came to Beijing, he was resettled elsewhere.To do this, Yue Ling couldn't tell why, or he still had some extravagant imagination, or maybe he wanted to keep some old atmosphere in this house.It's just that I was afraid in my heart, afraid of being hurt by the scene, so that even today, I haven't set foot in it again.

Looking down sadly, here, how many old things have gone with the wind. . .But it's a pity that the turmoil left behind that person has not subsided for a day!

First, Nan Gongying came to the capital, everyone in the court knew that he was stubborn since he was a child, and his aptitude was blunt, so he was not liked by the king of Shu. Now he came to Beijing for his brother, which really made people doubt the king of Shu's intentions.

However, when Nan Gongji returned home due to illness, there were many objections in the court. During the period, an official told the emissary to return from Chengdu. He said that when he saw the prince of Shu, he had bright eyes and a heroic look, and he did not seem to be sick. , So at the beginning it should be a feigned illness to seek return!

In addition, as time went by, the king of Shu still did not see any punishment for the Yuwen clan, so naturally there were many discussions in the court.

As the end of the new year draws near, someone again suggested, please let the King of Shu or his son come to Beijing to celebrate the New Year, and test his loyalty again!

Yue Ling was sick at the time, so he couldn't bear the disturbance, so he simply closed the door in the name of recovering from his illness, and only then got a few days of peace.However, once the court arrives in the next year, all the trivial matters that were suppressed in the past will be swept away like a tide, which is quite disturbing.It was the beginning of spring and the weather was going to be warm, but at this time he caught the wind and cold again and had to return to the sick bed, and the old illness became more and more serious!

Yue Ling is not a confused person, but thinking about it, this headache and dizziness is always entangled, and Xu Zeng's words that day also seem to imply: this disease is difficult, and it may not be easy to cure.

The night is getting thicker, wandering in the sea of ​​people, looking back again in the dim lights, the place where I used to hang out, is now shrouded in darkness, and the vitality has long since disappeared.

Looking back and sighing, the past is over, but the future is still waiting?Life is too short to sing about wine sometimes!If you have regrets about the past, it is not too late to recover now.

The author has something to say:

Roar three times to the sky, this volume is over!
