Chapter 457: Goodbye Peace
Chapter 457: Goodbye An Ning
Before he knew it, Chen Ao stopped writing, his eyes always fell on the painting, and he slowly said: "It's done."
Zhao Mo, who was already tired, stretched his head to look at it, and couldn't help but sigh: "It's better than the few copies collected by his father! As long as it's old, it's enough to make the fake." The guy looked around the painting with a gaze, trying to find the flaws, but he couldn't find the flaws. He felt a little angry. He knew it was a fake, but he had to find a loophole, but he glared for half a stick of incense and could not find any trace of the copying. He couldn't help but be amazed.
Chen Ao nodded. It is difficult to say it is difficult to say it, and it is easy to say it. For example, the most common smoke method, if others smoke it, there will inevitably be traces. However, Chen Ao used the same method, but what was used to make it is different. After smoked by the drawing paper, he also needs to use the laminated paper on the old painting to soak it in water to dye it. Although it is a dull method, the effect is different.
Zhao Mo was very excited and said, "I can't even tell the difference between the two more days."
Chen Ao twisted his wrist tiredly and said, "It's getting late, so the prince will go back first. There is no problem with this painting."
After seeing off Zhao Mo, Chen Ao returned to Zhenzhen's room and fell asleep. Zhenzhen twisted him lightly and said, "My husband should go to the Imperial Hospital to ask for a prescription? I see what the little prince said..."
Halfway through his words, Chen Ao was already snoring, and Zhen Zhen sneered: "What are you pretending?"
Chen Ao suddenly opened his eyes and smiled narrowly: "It's not possible to rely on prescriptions, but you have to rely on diligence for your husband."
After saying that, Chen Ao turned over and leaned on Zhenzhen's body, and the room was filled with endless spring scenery.
The next morning, Chen Yangxihe shones through the paper window and shines the entire bedroom. Chen Ao gets up and rinses his mouth. He rides his horse to the martial arts school to check. When he arrives at the door, he says that there is an imperial edict. The eunuch who preaches the order has just left. There are already many chief clerks in the Xuanwu Hall. The instructor is discussing this matter. Chen Ao goes in and everyone says with a smug hint: "Your Majesty has just issued an order to review the martial arts school on that day."
Chen Ao was not surprised, took a sip of tea and said slowly: "The future of the Martial Arts School depends on this time. They all cheered up and practiced hard, and showed His Majesty and the people of Bianjing the true ability of the Martial Arts School."
After the news came out, the lieutenants who had already complained were no longer complaining. Although the exercises had a lot worsened, they all smiled happily. Last time they showed off in front of the emperor, their faces were brighter, and even the letters from home were strongly encouraged. Especially many scholars, before they came to school, many people persuaded them that they were a good scholar, and they could not even cry after leaving. Although the teaching staff was full of spectacles, the gentry and the school were not optimistic. They shook their heads when they heard someone going, but none of them had promised it.
If it weren't for the glimmer of hope, I was desperate, hopeless in the imperial examination, and I was unwilling to go to the school to teach, no one would come.
But now it is different. The value of the lieutenants has increased. The court’s meaning is to follow the regulations of the Imperial College. This is equivalent to the lieutenant and the lieutenant. The Ministry of War allocated money again. The four words "The Emperor's Student" have been implemented. In addition, the Shilin's discussion on the improvement of the martial arts school, the lieutenant suddenly became very popular.
So I have been practicing a lot in the past few days, and I have complained a lot less.
Even the instructors and instructors in the school seemed to have been injected with blood all at once. Some people had doubts about Chen Ao's way of practicing, but after that match, they completely changed. In addition, they gradually felt that they had a future, so they were more motivated.
Few of the instructors and instructors who were selected to come to the Martial Arts School had a good time. They thought that there would be no hope for the rest of their life when they arrived at this Martial Arts School. They thought that someone deliberately interfered and wanted to send them to Bianjing to see them invisible. However, now that they have a holy family, Jian is in the heart of the emperor, and even this instructor has become very popular. At least they are treated with the doctors of the Imperial College, which is also a great thing.
After receiving the order, Chen Ao cheered up and anxiously held a meeting with the doctor and the coaches, formulated a new training time, and discussed the school affairs. Then he went to the palace to inquire about the news. How the school review was done and the palace had to obtain the regulations. After all, this matter was connected with the joy of the people. Wherever the guards were, where the lieutenants were, and where the people were, they had to set rules.
Zhao Ji was also very upset these days. He, the emperor, is the busiest person in the New Year. He had to be punished by the death row prisoners, the regulations for sacrificing the Taimiao sacrifices must be finalized, the Gongkaosi must also read them, and the money and food expenses of the Ministry of Revenue. These are things that cannot be delayed, and you can't be lazy.
When Chen Ao met, Zhao Ji was holding a red pen and staring at the list of prisoners of Gou Jue. He was a little sentimental, so colluding with prisoners for some kings is just a matter of following the rules. Basically, killing one group and leaving another group, all based on luck. Zhao Ji was different. He had to look at the crimes of the death row prisoners one by one, for fear that he would accidentally cause harm to the creatures.
From this we can infer that Zhao Ji is a good person, but not a good emperor. He can hide whenever he can. In order to satisfy his selfish desires, he has caused many creatures to suffer, but he pays attention to these minor issues.
In fact, the crux of the matter is still blamed on people's hearts. Zhao Ji wants to do the treasures, and the people below just need to do it. He is invisible. However, the prisoner who is determined is equivalent to killing people directly, but he makes him extremely cautious.
Chen Ao knew this kind of character best, but he smiled and bowed to Zhao Ji. Zhao Ji put down his pen and sighed, "Sit down, I have something that I can't stop." He paused and continued, "There is a death row prisoner in Yingzhou who accidentally killed his husband. The Ministry of Justice decided to be the death row of Qiu Hou, saying that the husband was the wife's leader and that his wife killed his husband was against morality. Although it was a man of murder, the crime was unforgivable. There was nothing wrong with this case, but I was determined to pardon the death row prisoner and change it to a slave. What do you think?"
Chen Ao said: "Of course you have to forgive me. Since it is a man-killing, according to the eyes of Weichen, it is not good to sell it as a slave. It is better to forgive me directly. It is a painful thing for a wife to lose her husband."
Zhao Ji laughed and said, "I thought I was the only one who was soft-hearted, but I didn't expect you to be the same." He felt a little better and said, "This year, it's not easy for me to live here. If you want to blame me, you can only blame me."
Chen Ao was stunned and said angrily: "Your Majesty, why do you blame me for everything?"
Zhao Ji comforted the case and said, "The Empress Dowager said that you would like to enter the palace at a time and your family could bring it. But the Empress Dowager said that this is the New Year's Eve dinner, so how can outsiders get involved? Chen Ao, you should know what it means."
Chen Ao had a bitter face, and he was really crying without tears. The empress dowager was so silly that he pulled himself in. Isn’t this using himself to disgust the empress dowager? Of course, the empress dowager refused. These two people were stuck in the middle, which was the most difficult thing.
Zhao Ji sighed, "I am very embarrassed now. It is not bad to let you enter the palace, but the Empress Dowager is unhappy and I am not happy. If you don't let you enter the palace, it is not easy for the Empress Dowager to explain. I have to think about this again."
These two people are considered to be sympathetic and are both victims of the struggle between the two queens. Chen Ao cherishes each other and says with emotion: "Your Majesty's difficulties, I also know that this matter can only be dragged on first."
The two of them discussed for a while with a frown, and Zhao Ji picked up the list of Gou Jue and said, "I have something to do. The year is coming, so you should go and see peace. In the past, I didn't want you to meet, so today I will make a mistake."
Chen Ao seemed particularly happy. The palace dragged An Ning's marriage. Chen Ao was also a little helpless and could not meet. Chen Ao thought about the girl and hurriedly said, "That's the empress."
As the little eunuch arrived in the harem, Chen Ao saw An Ning, An Ning showed joy. Please sit down, look at Chen Ao with a smoky look like a happy and said, "Mr. Shen is thinner than before."
There were many eunuchs and palace maids standing next to them. Chen Ao couldn't say anything beyond his reach and said, "Isn't the emperor's complexion not very good?"
The two of them looked at each other and Chen Aocai said, "Have the Emperor still written lyrics recently?"
An Ninghe nodded: "Writing is written, but it is shameful, afraid that Lord Shen will laugh."
Chen Ao said he wanted to see it, but An Ning refused. Yanran smiled and said, "I'll show it to you then. Lord Shen, can you accompany me to the garden for a walk?"
Chen Ao couldn't find it, and went to the Imperial Garden with An Ning one after another. The Imperial Garden in the harem was actually not big. Zhao Ji's mind was on the other side of Wansui Mountain, so Wansui Mountain was more like Zhao Ji's amusement place. However, because His Majesty doesn't come often, and the two queens don't have the interest in visiting, it's not too amazing, and it's just a little higher than the specifications of the Queen of Jin Garden.
Strolling among the flowers, An Ning carefully held her skirt and held a lotus step, for fear that she would step on the flowers on the ground, the eunuch behind her trotted over and said with a crying face: "Please pay attention to your appearance."
The appearance he mentioned was probably because An Ning raised her skirt and accidentally exposed her small interjected legs. It would be fine if he didn't remind her. As soon as he reminded her, Chen Ao also paid attention, staring at her eyes on the calf that looked like a lotus skin and limbs.
An Ning's face flushed, and she immediately put down her skirt, completely covering up the sudden appearance of spring.
Chen Ao deliberately looked up at the sky and couldn't help but say, "Ah... Blue Sky, Ah... Baiyun, today's weather is really good..."
He pronounced the word "Ah" to cover up his embarrassment, obviously too devoted, which alarmed countless birds scattered around.
Chen Ao was ashamed, and he could not have imagined that the movement would be so big.
An Ning bit her lip and told the little eunuch to retreat, saying, "Mr. Shen, you're rude."
"What's wrong? I didn't see anything." Chen Ao held his hands in shock and couldn't help but whistle, saying, "There is a pavilion there, let's go there and sit there."
Sitting down at the pavilion, An Ning looked at Chen Ao deeply and whispered: "My mother went to the Queen Mother's place to inquire a few days ago..."
"What do you want to know?"
An Ning said angrily: "What else can I have?"
Chen Ao suddenly realized that An Ning's mother and queen had been moved. It seemed that the mother was a little anxious. He vaguely remembered An Ning's mother and queen, who was one of the four noble concubines. It seemed that Shuxian was also a smart person. Most of the princesses of the Song Dynasty were married outside. In fact, most of them were not good. After all, they were just those princes and marquis. Although these princes and marquis had no worries about food and clothing, some were quite powerful, but after all, they were still within the periphery of the imperial center. Except for Quartz who entered the Secretariat, someone who was eating and waiting for death was there.
Although Chen Ao is just a marquis, it is not comparable to the princes in other aspects. Those who are interested have predicted that Chen Ao's current momentum is only a matter of time. Although Chen Ao's family already has a wife, other princesses do not have a concubine. It is better to marry Chen Ao clean.
Chen Ao became serious at this time and asked with concern: "What do you say over the queen?"
An Ning's eyes were filled with mist and she murmured in a low voice: "You are just putting yourself out of the matter. The emperor married his daughter, but you still asked your mother to ask."
This anger came out, but the relationship between the two was closer vaguely. Chen Ao said, "Actually, I'm asking around, but unfortunately I can't figure it out. You know, I'm a foreign minister after all, and I can't say many things clearly. If the emperor doesn't believe it, please ask the King of Jin and His Majesty. I have repeatedly urged you."
An Ning turned anger into joy and said, "Okay, I won't ask, I believe you." After that, she said, "The Empress Dowager said that she did not object. She was old and could not keep her. But she also said, "I am afraid that the Empress Dowager will interfere with her and Chen Ao, so you can't beg for the Empress Dowager?"
Chen Ao thought to himself: "This empress dowager must have made herself a good person, so she gave birth to the emperor and the queen." After thinking about it, she said: "I will try my best to find a way."
After talking about the "public" matters, An Ning smiled calmly and said, "The Queen Mother asked you to bring your family into the palace that day, saying that you would be more lively, but I also want to meet your sisters." Her expectant look made Chen Ao unable to help but think: "Is An Ning very stupid and naive or pretending to be stupid and naive? Well, I believe that she is really naive, I hope that the four ladies in the family are also naive."
