Unparalleled Concubine

   Chapter 918 Returning in a Snowy Night

   After hitting a soft nail in Kunde Palace, several Zaifu were not discouraged. They also knew very well that this kind of thing could not be done overnight, so after these people left the palace, they began to lobby around.

  The two chief ministers of Shangshutai went to the palace of Jiuqing and Jingzhaoyin of the imperial court, while Yan Shouzhuo went to the house of Hou Jingde, the house of Hou Jingde.

   Shen Kuan went to Chong's house to meet Chong Wu, who had just returned to Beijing.

These people are big-faced people. They come to see someone in person, and generally there is nothing they can’t see. As long as they meet someone, no matter whether the negotiation is successful or not, the government and the public will think that they have achieved the negotiation. If it succeeds, no one can stop it.

  The emperor couldn't stop it, the queen mother couldn't stop it, and the weak Shanyin Xie family didn't even have the qualifications to speak.

Facing the rush of these prime ministers, Emperor Yuanzhao seemed to have given up his resistance, so he stayed quietly in the Weiyang Palace, and he still called Hanlin into the palace to give lectures every day. In addition, he should eat and drink every day. In the eight prisons of the inner court, apart from the people from Tianmu prison still running, the inner guards seem to be no longer moving.

More importantly, the three imperial guards in the capital also returned to their respective divisions. Yulin guard returned to the Yulin guard camp in the south of the city, and Qianniu guard returned to the Qianniu guard camp in the west of the city. , as if nothing happened.

   After two days, the sky was cloudy, and the first snow in the first year of Yuanzhao fell slowly from the dark clouds.

   It snowed heavily this time, and it fell for three days. The old people in the capital sighed repeatedly, saying that the last time they saw such heavy snow was in the 17th year of Chengde, and it had not been such a heavy snow for more than ten years.

On the third day, the heavy snow in the sky finally stopped a little, but there was still a thick layer of snow inside and outside the capital. The officers of Jingzhao Prefecture began to organize the Fang Ding of each square to come out to clean up the snow. After sweeping all day, most of the On the road, only a small path that is not very spacious and can only be walked on is cleared.

However, the main road of the capital, Desheng Street, was cleared out by Jingzhao Mansion with great efforts. In the afternoon, a black carriage started from Yonglefang and went all the way to Nancheng Gate, and then The carriage stopped at the entrance of the South City Gate and waited quietly, as if waiting for someone.

  The soldiers on duty at the South City Gate did not quite understand it.

   The roads in the capital are barely clear now. The official roads outside the city are covered with snow, and there is no way for carriages and horses to walk. There are no people outside the city for several days. Where can I wait for people to enter the city?

   But the people in this carriage have the tokens of the palace, and they dare not say anything, they can only wait here.

   In winter, the days are short and the nights are long, and soon the sky darkened. The black carriage still refused to go, waiting quietly in the south of the city.

In the carriage, a middle-aged voice sighed and said softly: "Your Majesty, the road is blocked by heavy snow, and it is estimated that we cannot walk, and as usual, even if Li Houye arrives at the city gate at this hour, the city gate is also closed, they today Probably won't come."

   "Let's go back to the palace first, and come back tomorrow to welcome Lord Li."

   The young man in black slowly shook his head: "Master Li said in the letter that he will arrive today, and he will definitely arrive today. He has not lied to me."

   Xiao Zheng stood beside the young emperor helplessly, and added a few pieces of silver charcoal to the copper stove in the carriage.

   Soon, it was completely dark.

   Outside the carriage, light snow began to fall again, and the wind was cold.

   Emperor Yuanzhao was still at the gate of the city, waiting quietly.

  More than 100 red-clothed inner guards have taken over the South City Gate, and the South City Gate is still open, instead of being closed at sunset as usual.

  At the beginning of the hour, it was getting colder and colder outside, and the fire in the carriage could not hold back the chill. Xiao Zheng added a few more pieces of charcoal. Looking at the stubborn emperor, he sighed inwardly.

He knew in his heart that the reason why the Son of Heaven was so persistent in waiting for Li Xin to return to Beijing was because he had been waiting for it for too long. He was alone in the capital these days, facing those old foxes alone. It could be said that he was helpless, after all. As a young man, he couldn't hold on anymore.

   He urgently needs Li Xin to return to Beijing to help him "support the scene".

  x Three quarters.

   When Xiao Zheng was about to persuade the emperor to return to the palace again, a fire suddenly appeared on the official road in the distance.

The fire was getting closer and closer, and it was gradually clear that it was seven or eight torches. Below the torches were a dozen or so people, all of whom were walking. walk.

   The little emperor immediately lifted the curtain and jumped down.

The moment    jumped down, the cold wind and snow rushed towards his face, but the emperor didn't care, stepping on the snow that was almost kneeless, and ran towards a few people.

   Xiao Zheng had no choice but to run after him. He was wearing bright red clothes and was quite eye-catching in the pure white snow.

  The Son of Heaven was still a young man. He was naturally agile, but now he has the energy again. He ran very fast in the snow, and soon he was only five or six meters away from the group of people.

   He finally saw who was coming.

Among the dozen or so people, Li Xin was surrounded by the center. He was leading a **** horse and was wearing a thick fur. Because he was on the road, his hair and eyebrows had been stained with some ice crystals, and his face and nose were frozen. Some turned blue.

Tianzi's eyes are a little red. He grew up in Jing'an Hou's mansion, and he naturally knows that his uncle is not afraid of the sky, but he is especially afraid of the cold. layer.

   Few could get him out on a snowy day.

  The Emperor walked up, stood in front of the group, and slammed down to the ground.

   "Student, I have seen the teacher."

Originally, Li Xin was able to reach the capital two days ago, but the road was blocked by heavy snow, so he had to delay on the road for two days. Because of the emergency in the capital, the snow stopped a little today, so he immediately took his subordinates to the road. The snow was too thick. The horse cannot be ridden, it can only be held in the hand.

   It was still snowing lightly at the moment, and a thin layer of snowflakes fell on the body and hair of the young man in front of him, who was squatting deeply.

  The Marquis of Jing'an was silent for a while, then passed the crowd and stepped forward to help the young man up, his frozen blue face forced a smile.

   "As the emperor of Jin Dynasty, how can you be so rude?"

No matter how much suspicion and jealousy there is between the two of them because of their identities, the affection they have developed over the past ten years is always true. The young people have been bullied by those old foxes for more than half a year. At this time, I heard Li Letter mellow voice, eyes immediately red.

  Li Xin helped him up, and he pulled Li Xin's sleeve, his voice choked.

   "Uncle, they bullied me."

  The Marquis of Jing An was stunned for a moment, then took a wine bag from his waist, took a sip himself, and then handed it to the little emperor.

   "This is the Zhurong wine produced by Taikang in the second year of the year, the strongest one, drink two sips to drive away the cold."

   Emperor Yuan Zhao took the wine bag, raised his head and took a big sip. The spirits were so strong that he coughed twice before he recovered, but it was also very useful, and the chills all over his body immediately dissipated a lot.

  The Marquis of Jing An took his hand and walked towards the south gate in front of him, talking while walking.

   "You are the Son of Heaven, only you bully others, no one else bullies you."

  The cold wind blows, making Li Houye's voice misty.

   "I'll teach you how to be the emperor."

   Under the blizzard and snow, the Marquis of Jing An led a young man who was half a head shorter than him, and walked into the capital in the dark of night.
