A tree of peach blossoms pressing the prime minister

Chapter 60 The Wolf Tamer
"The husband is the guide for the wife, and the king is the guide for the ministers. I think Mrs. Jiang will understand the humble minister when she wakes up." There was no smile on Shen Zaiye's face. After saluting to Concubine Lan, he turned to look at the emperor: "The emperor and your empress It's time to go back and rest first, the scenery here is very beautiful at night, and you can even enjoy the moon."

Concubine Lan Gui pursed her lips, took a deep look at him, and returned to the emperor with a flick of her sleeves.

The emperor hugged her, nodded and said: "Okay, then I will go back with them to rest."

Shen Zaiya nodded, the emperor got up, and everyone followed behind.Nanwang turned his head three times a step at a time, looking at the bed with worried eyes, but King Jing walked behind him, so he didn't dare to stay, and could only follow the emperor straight away.

Mu Wuyin didn't leave, and stayed in Shen Zaye's room without making a sound, and asked softly, "Prime Minister is going to make a move?"

"Yes." Shen Zaiye said indifferently: "My lord only needs to take Qin Sheng there, it will be useful at night."

Qin Sheng?Tao Hua on the bed thought the name was very familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere.

"Okay." King Jing agreed and left quickly.

The room finally became quiet, Zhanlu closed the door and stood outside, Shen Zaye went back to the bed and sat down, staring at the person on the bed and said: "Open your eyes when you are awake."

"..." Opening her eyes and looking at him, Tao Hua sighed heavily: "I thought the situation was really critical, and I must be grateful for saving my life. I didn't expect that my concubine was reckless and disrupted my plan .”

After hearing his arrangements, he knew that most of today's assassination was directed and acted by himself. Poor she didn't know anything, so she foolishly took an arrow for someone else.

There was a strange color in Shen Zaye's eyes, and after a while, he actually smiled: "You have the intention to save me, and you didn't drag me to block the arrow, I will already be grateful."

The corners of her mouth twitched slightly, Taohua sat up with her shoulders covered, and said with regret on her face: "I really should have done that! Anyway, this arrow is not powerful, and it can't kill you, so why add another arrow to my icy skin?" Where's the scar?"

"Jiang Taohua." Shen Zaiya pursed his lips: "Can't you say something nice to make me happy for a while?"

"You are happy that my concubine was injured?" Taohua flattened her mouth and muttered rather aggrievedly: "It really is heartless and cruel!"

Shen Zaye: "..."

There must be something wrong with this woman's brain. What he said was good, why did she mean it when she relayed it?

Shaking his head helplessly, he generously took off his coat and lay down on the bed, looked at her and said, "Hold it for you, go to sleep for a while, the doctor told you to rest more."

Even if it is not a serious injury, it will take a long time to heal.

Looking at him warily, Taohua tentatively reached out and poked his chest, as if checking for thorns, Shen Zaiye immediately wanted to pick her up and throw her out of the window!
She was just relying on her shoulder injury, otherwise he would really do it!

Taohua hugged him, sighed reassuringly, and soon fell asleep.Shen Zaiye took out the booklet under his pillow and continued to read it carefully.

The racecourse is very large. Although the palace does not look gorgeous, there are small bridges and flowing water at the entrance, which is quite elegant.When night fell, the emperor took Concubine Lan Gui and all his officials to hold a banquet in the courtyard to enjoy the moon.

"This palace is not very well built, and only the scenery is pleasant." Concubine Lan wrinkled her nose, leaned on the emperor and said, "It is a grievance for the emperor to live here."

Looking up and looking around, Emperor Mingde was also quite displeased: "For this racecourse, the imperial court appropriated a lot of money, but in the end it fell into whose pocket."

King Jing smiled, cupped his hands and said, "The construction of the horse farm is in charge of the servant Meng, and brother Yu is the supervisor. Father should rest assured."

King Yu was slightly stunned, glanced at King Jing, and said hastily, "Although this racecourse is supervised by the minister, the emperor has other errands for the minister during the period, so the minister does not come to visit often."

"Brother Yu Wang means that he is a nominal supervisor, but he didn't fulfill his responsibilities?" King Jing smiled, looked at him sideways and said, "If you say this in front of your father, won't you live up to your father's trust? ?”

King Yu bowed his head, got up and knelt down in front of the imperial court, and said solemnly: "It is my negligence, and I am willing to accept the crime!"

He would rather plead guilty now than be implicated by Meng Taipu at that time. King Yu is a very smart person. He smelled Shen Zaye's intention to kill Meng Taipu, so he quickly shirked his responsibility.

Emperor Mingde frowned, and looked at King Yu sharply: "All of you are aggressive in grabbing things, and when you really have to do it, you have many excuses! Why Meng Taifu assassinated the prime minister today, I didn't think about it at first. I understand, I understand a little bit now. Could it be that he was enriched by his own pockets and was discovered by the prime minister, and wanted to kill people to silence him?"

"Father." King Yu frowned: "How could Meng's servant be so courageous? What's more, the daughter of the Meng family was the prime minister's wife, and the two families were also considered in-laws, and they had a lot of contacts. My son feels that today's events are very similar It was deliberately framed by someone with a heart..."

"Speaking of in-laws." King Jing also stood up and said with a smile, "Royal father, I heard that the concubine daughter of the Meng family poisoned the prime minister's eldest son who was still in concubine Ji's womb, so she was dismissed and returned to the mansion. "

"There are such things?" The emperor was surprised: "So the murderer is the daughter of the Meng family? Why didn't the prime minister mention it to me?"

"Master Xiang regards peace as the most important thing. In the face of Meng Taifu, he never pursued it. He just divorced the Meng family." King Jing said, and glanced at King Yu: "I hate that Meng Taifu doesn't know what is good or bad, and still holds a grudge. .”

In this way, today's assassination is even more logical.There is old hatred first, and then there are scruples. It is not impossible for Meng Taipu to take the risk and kill Shen Zaiye to silence him.

Emperor Mingde's face turned ugly for a moment, he looked at King Yu with deep eyes and said: "I remember, Meng Taifu still recommended Wugou for the superior."

"My son..." King Yu is in a dilemma. He has not yet convicted the servant Meng, and if he is too eager to make the relationship clear, it is tantamount to abandoning this person directly.But if you don't make it clear, you will tacitly admit that you have something to do with him, in case there is any crime of sitting...

King Yu was very tangled and didn't know what to do for a while.

The atmosphere was tense, but Concubine Lan put a grape into the emperor's mouth with a smile, and said softly: "Why are you talking about government affairs when you come out to play?"

Frowning slightly, the emperor bit the grape and looked sideways at her with guilt in his eyes: "I forgot, don't be angry."

"The concubine will not be angry. The emperor has matters that the emperor cares about. The concubines and concubines only know how to eat, drink and have fun." Concubine Lan said, "Don't think that the concubine is useless and can't help you much."

"How could it be?" The emperor looked at her tenderly, hugged her in his arms, and looked up at the stars in the sky: "You are the best woman in this world."

King Jing was taken aback for a moment, and looked at Concubine Lan Gui with a dissatisfied expression.King Yu breathed a sigh of relief, and stepped back quietly.

To say that the person who can influence the emperor the most in this dynasty must be Shen Zaiye.But from the perspective of the entire scope of the former court and the harem, Concubine Lan Gui is still better.After chuckling and whispering a few words, the emperor temporarily ignored the matter, and continued to look at the stars and the moon with his arms around her.

King Jing was a little anxious, he was already able to take King Yu into the army, but was forced to retreat by Concubine Lan Gui, it felt really bad.

"My lord." Qin Sheng who was behind him suddenly said, and whispered, "Be careful later."

Ok?Looking back at him suspiciously, King Jing was about to ask what he was careful about, but saw a group of guards running over in a panic in the distance.

The leader yelled from afar: "Escort! Escort! Wolves are breaking into the palace!"

What? !Emperor Ming De was startled and stood up quickly.The civil and military officials were also stunned, and they retreated one after another.

When the guard came over, he knelt down and said anxiously: "Your Majesty, the wolves broke into the palace, the walls collapsed in dozens of places, and some people died. Please return to the palace quickly, the humble officer will definitely protect you to death!"

"Ridiculous!" Protecting Concubine Lan with one hand, the emperor shook his sleeve with the other, and said furiously: "A majestic palace, a few wolves can easily break down the wall? Can't it be paper?!"

King Yu's heart tightened, and cold sweat broke out on his head, thinking that he couldn't be so unlucky, right?What are the good wolves doing when they besiege the palace?
The guard leader bowed his head and said: "The humble officer is also very surprised, but the fact is. There are so many wolves that the door can't resist them. Later, we can only use the palace door to hold them back and wait for reinforcements."

Everyone panicked and ran into the palace one after another.It was the first time that Emperor Mingde was in such a state of embarrassment, being carried back to the hall by the eunuchs, the anger in his heart can be imagined.

Concubine Lan Gui asked the maid beside her when she stepped into the palace, "Where is Prime Minister Shen?"

"Go back to your mother, and take care of Mrs. Jiang in the room."

Then just kill him!Concubine Lan Gui snorted coldly, and with a flick of her sleeve, the door was closed.

"Ouch-"

The howling of wolves resounded in all directions, and it was getting closer and closer. All civil and military officials were very flustered, and many female relatives were frightened and cried. The noise made the emperor feel even more annoyed.

"This palace is worse than paper, should Meng Taipu and Wuji give me an explanation?!"

"My son is guilty." King Yu nodded his head and saluted, frowning and looking outside.

This situation has never been seen in the royal family.The wolf, which was as big as a tiger, rammed head-on against the palace gate, shaking the guards' legs trembling.

It's over!

The situation is critical, it's a close call!
But on the other side, Taohua was lying comfortably on Shen Zaye's lap, listening to the movement outside in a calm manner.

"My concubine remembered it!" A flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, Tao Hua raised her head and looked at Shen Zaiye: "Is there a servant in the master's mansion who can tame wolves, that is the one named Qin Sheng!"

Slightly taken aback, Shen Zaiye glanced at her: "How do you know?"

"Nanwang said that this concubine has a good memory." Smiling, Peach Blossom held her chin in her hand and looked at him in the shape of a flower: "On the day that concubine and Nanwang got married, it was also Qin Sheng who controlled the family. The wolf came to block the way, right?"

Frowning slightly, Shen Zaye didn't even look at her, and said in a low voice: "It's fine to know some things in your heart, there's no need to say them out."
