Chapter 257 Dan Dan Dan
...
After leaving court,
the emperor went to take drugs first.
He is old, and he takes several pills a day.
One pill when he wakes up in the morning.
One pill after breakfast. One
pill after lunch.
One pill after dinner.
One pill before going to bed.
Five pills a day.
He has no choice. It is the sequelae of the previous few years.
Now he is not energetic if he does not take medicine.
Of course, although it is an elixir, it is not taken randomly. It has been verified by the imperial physician. It
has also been tested on other living people.
It seems to be non-toxic, harmless and has no side effects. He still feels energetic after taking it.
It is a very good health pill.
Sometimes he may feel that there is a little problem in his heart, but he will ignore it because he has become dependent on it.
Now, whether officials or concubines in the harem, eunuchs, and maids are favored or not depends on whether the emperor has given them elixirs. Those who have been given elixirs are the representatives of favor.
Normally, one pill is taken after breakfast.
Today there is an early court session, so I took it after the court session.
There is also a sense of ritual in taking pills.
You have to sit up straight, take a deep breath, drink a sip of water to moisten your throat, and then take the pill.
After taking it, you have to sit for a while, because you will feel a burning sensation in your abdomen. Wait
until the burning sensation dissipates before you can get up.
You will feel a little sweat in your body.
Every time you take a pill, you have to have this sense of ritual.
After taking the pills, he rested for a while, and the eunuch came over and said that Meng Qingshe and Jiang Changtian were already waiting.
The emperor then got up and walked over leisurely.
There was a small garden near the reception area where he rested and took drugs.
The palace was full of gardens.
The emperor walked out a few steps and suddenly met a beautiful lady in gorgeous clothes.
She looked at the emperor hesitantly, wanting to say something but not saying it. Her eyes were tearful and she looked pitiful.
The emperor took a look and was startled to see her strange face. She had clearly walked up to her, but suddenly she turned around and left.
After walking a few steps, she said to the eunuch, "Where did this ugly woman come from? She just blocked the road. Send her to the cold palace. It's okay if she scares me, but it's too embarrassing if she scares the ministers."
The eunuch hurried back and told people to send the noble lady to the cold palace.
The emperor has been a scumbag in recent years. He
was still doting on this woman last month, and promoted her from a promised lady to a noble lady.
It's only been a month, and he has forgotten about her. He
can't even remember what she looks like. He
is extremely forgetful.
But apart from not remembering the women he favored, there are no other major problems. Anyway, the eunuchs and palace maids all think that the emperor is a scumbag who loves novelty and hates old things.
...
Meng Qingshe has been detained many times.
After all, his father has been fighting for his life on the frontier.
In order to express basic care and condolences.
The emperor would occasionally keep Meng Qingshe and say a few private words to appear cordial.
After all, he is the emperor, and some behaviors are engraved in his bones. He doesn't need to learn, he will do it naturally.
Of course, there is also a reason why Meng Qingshe is still a lovely person.
A relatively pure person.
If she were like other officials, with many cunning minds, the emperor would be too lazy to guess.
So Meng Qingshe is not nervous at the moment.
He shared his experience of being detained with his in-laws, looking like an old student.
"If you are hungry, you can eat a piece of cake to fill your stomach, but this cake is not delicious, too sweet, so sweet that it makes your throat uncomfortable. When the emperor asks you questions, you have to cough all the time, which is not good."
Jiang Changtian: ... I understand, my in-laws have eaten it and coughed before.
"If you are thirsty, you can drink water to moisten your throat, but it is best not to drink it casually. There was an official who sat here and drank a sip of water and died." Meng Qingshe said with a gossipy
look. Waiting for the in-laws to be horrified.
Jiang Changtian gave a horrified look.
Meng Qingshe continued: "The official angered the emperor when he was talking to him and was sentenced to death."
Jiang Changtian: ... Not funny at all.
"Nonsense, am I the kind of person who would kill someone if I disagree with him?" A loud voice came from the door.
Just like a social animal who is full of energy after work.
Just now in the court, the emperor looked listless and bored.
Now he is full of energy.
He changed into a casual robe and crown, looking a little younger.
Meng Qingshe talked about people behind their backs, but was exposed in front of them, but she was not panicked.
She pulled her in-laws to kneel down and salute.
"Your Majesty, I haven't finished what I said. That official was corrupt and violated the law, so he was sentenced to death."
The emperor walked over leisurely.
This is not the court hall, the roof is very high, and there are a lot of people.
A few people in the front row can be seen clearly, and the back is basically dark.
This room is just a little bigger, more elegant, and more luxurious than a normal room, but people sitting here are much more comfortable than in the court.
At a close distance, the emperor felt that Jiang Er was more and more handsome, and most importantly, he was very friendly.
He felt that he was different from others, especially friendly, and had a sense of affinity. He had this feeling at first sight.
So after the court meeting, the emperor kept him to have a private chat.
Jiang Changtian looked at the emperor who had changed out of his casual clothes, and his state was completely different from when he went to court in the morning.
It didn't look like he was off work, but rather like he was wearing mourning clothes.
The emperor was not only energetic, but also seemed to be thinking more carefully.
Meng Qingshe mentioned a few words about the old general Meng, and when Meng Qingshe turned the topic to his two older grandsons, he stopped talking in time.
Then he and Jiang Changtian recalled the former prince's tutor Jiang Bai.
The former prince died. The
sins were forgiven when a person died.
All the unhappy and angry emotions that he had felt were gone and reconciled after the person died.
So when he looked at the son of Tutor Jiang again, he actually felt that he was kind.
"Your father was very handsome when he was young. I didn't expect you to be better than him. What are your plans after returning to the capital?"
Jiang Changtian said bluntly: "I want to seek an official position, a higher position, so that my wife and daughter can go out more freely in the future. I heard that there are officials everywhere in the capital, and I am worried that my daughter will get into trouble when she goes out, so I want to seek a position with some power."
When the emperor saw Jiang Er's look and the way he spoke, every word hit the nail on the head.
How could someone be so to his liking.
He just likes people who directly express their desires and demands. He thinks that such people are real people, pure people.
Those who have no desires and always talk about justice, when something really happens in the end, they mess up faster than anyone else.
Meng Qingshe listened and felt that he was worthy of being a relative. He spoke more directly than him.
I am so worried that he will be beaten if he speaks like this in the capital.
I still have to take care of him in the future.
"What position do you think is suitable?" Meng Qingshe asked with a wink.
Jiang Changtian said: "The first and second ranks are definitely good, but we don't have that much power. We just want to have enough food and clothing. If the daughter-in-law goes out and causes trouble, I can cover it."
The emperor was curious in his heart. How much trouble this daughter-in-law can cause.
I heard that Jiang Er has two daughters.
The eldest daughter is married to Meng Shaoxia, and the second daughter is still a young girl.
After a long narration.
The emperor listened to people talking, it was interesting.
He and Old Meng are indeed a family. He is very
straightforward in speaking.
He looks like a civil official, but acts like a military officer.
"Then you will continue to be the Sima? You used to be the Sima of Jingzhou, and now you are the Sima of the capital, can you?"
"Thank you, my Lord, for your grace." Jiang Changtian thanked him. The
emperor looked at him with admiration for a few times, thought about it, and sent him away without asking Wenxin to come and see him.
He was even looking forward to the court meeting in ten days.
Jiang Changtian walked slowly on the way back.
Listening to the incessant chattering of his relatives.
This palace is so strange.
He has no memory of it at all.
However, he knelt down several times today.
A man has no gold under his knees, but he has power in his eyes.
