Chapter 2761 stay up late again
Li Bushang stood at the door, watching Xie Jiaojiao's carriage go away, and then turned around and walked in.
But, just took a step, stopped again and looked back.
There were people coming and going on the long street. Of course, many passers-by knew that this mansion was given to the important ministers by His Majesty the Emperor. Moreover, the preparations for the lights and decorations in the mansion have been well known in the past few days. Many people pointed at the place, as if watching the fun.
Li Bushen's eyes were scanned through these people, but he didn't find anything.
He was silent for a moment and turned back home.
On the other side, a man quickly walked through the streets and alleys and came to the entrance of the Earth Immortal Association in the capital.
The gate of the courtyard was closed. He knocked on the door three times, and the front door opened. When he saw that it was him, he immediately said, "Brother Chen Tong, you are back."
"Is the Lord here?"
"Here I am."
"Okay, take me to see the master."
The man turned sideways and quickly entered the gate. Unlike before, the courtyard is no longer full of people, but is empty. He can only walk into the main hall. In it, there are still a few people sitting on the seats on both sides.
And right in front of me, the hall master was still sitting upright.
But this time, he was not preaching or resting, but was waiting for the man to come back.
He asked: "Chen Tong, what's wrong?"
The man named Chen Tong immediately stepped forward, clasped his fists and saluted the master, and then said, "Master, I have already gone to inquire. The Li Mansion is indeed preparing for the wedding. It is Li Bushen, the commander of the Jinyiwei of their master, Li Bushen, was the last time he picked up the emperor's man in the Zuixianlou."
Hearing this, the master of the hall narrowed his eyes slightly.
He said, "This person is the emperor's confidant."
"It's not just a confidant."
"It's not just a confidant? Then or what?"
"I went to inquire about this. Li Bushang is said to have some origins. The most favored concubine in the harem now adopted from Yongzhou a few years ago. She is an orphan herself."
"oh?"
"So, he is not only the commander of the Jinyiwei, but also the imperial concubine."
“…”
"I heard that this time, the imperial concubine may come to Li Mansion in person."
"The Imperial Concubine..."
Hearing this, the master's eyes narrowed slightly, and a dangerous and cold light appeared in his eyes.
He said: "The Imperial Concubine, the Imperial Concubine is the emperor's favorite concubine."
“…”
"If the imperial concubine comes, then"
The few people sitting in the hall, together with the one named Chen Tong, all had cold and ferocious smiles on their faces.
The master of the hall said slowly: "The Master Xiang has already made arrangements. Since this court's loyal minister and the emperor's confidant minister, Lord Li, is overjoyed, how can we not give him a 'big gift'?"
In a blink of an eye, it was the second day of May.
Nanyan had already made people prepare the gift early, but as time approached, Zhu Feng never let go, whether he could or could not.
Even on the night of the second day of the lunar month, he stayed in the imperial study all night. Nan Yan originally wanted to see him, but he didn't.
Only outside the door, I saw the bright lights in the study room.
His already thin figure was also reflected on the window, and his shadows of several other ministers, and he had been busy without stopping. Nanyan asked, and only then did he know that some Japanese pirates appeared in the southeast coast. They had plundered coastal towns several times, burned, killed, and looted. Zhu Feng ordered the Shandong coast to strengthen vigilance, but the thousands of miles of sea defense line was not so easy to defend.
This incident caused Zhu Feng a headache.
Although he is proficient in military tactics, he is proficient in military tactics of land warfare, while land warfare and naval battle are only one word different, but it is almost a world of difference.
Since the founding of the Kingdom, Emperor Gao closed the coastline and no longer interacted with the coastal countries. After Zhu Feng ascended the throne, he had the idea of pursuing the Western Regions and restarting the Silk Road with him, and the maritime trade was also ready to be opened step by step.
But unexpectedly, when I opened the sea gate, I was not about trade, but about trouble.
Zhu Feng sat behind the table, and the candlelight on the table swayed, reflecting his slightly blue face. He looked at the ministers in front of him and said in a deep voice: "What should I do? Who of you has an idea!"
“…”
The imperial study room was quiet.
All people, even the capable ministers who remained during the reign of Emperor Gao, did not have the ability to deal with problems in the southeast coast, because none of them had ever really been with overseas countries.
Everyone could only talk about their opinions, but the solution was never available.
Seeing him like this, Nan Yan naturally could not go in for a little bit of trouble and could only ask Xiao Shunzi and the others to serve him well, and also specifically reminded the imperial kitchen that if the emperor was too late to cook at night, he would give him some porridge.
He returned to Yonghe Palace and fell asleep anxiously.
Early the next morning, after she got up exhausted, Ruoshui and the others came in to serve her to wash. Nan Yan asked, "Did the Emperor come last night?"
Ruoshui shook his head.
Nan Yan said again: "Have you returned to the bedroom to rest?"
Tingfu, who came in from outside, said, "I heard that the emperor stayed in the imperial study all night and just went to the morning court."
"ah?"
When Nan Yan heard this, he became a little anxious.
He ignored his body like this!
After washing up, the imperial kitchen brought breakfast. Nanyan had no appetite and was sighing while holding a bowl of porridge, he heard a familiar sound of footsteps outside. Then, Zhu Feng said with a smile: "What are you sighing early in the morning?"
Turning his head, he was walking in from outside.
"emperor!"
Nan Yan hurriedly got up and saluted him. Zhu Feng walked in, looked at the things on the table, and smiled and said, "It's not bad, I'll give me a bowl of porridge."
When Nan Yan heard this, he didn't wait for Ruoshui and the others to take action, he personally served a bowl of porridge for him and delivered it to him.
Zhu Feng held the bowl without using the food to serve the porridge, so he opened his mouth and sucked half a bowl of porridge in.
Then he sighed a long time, as if it was very comfortable.
Nan Yan sat aside, not caring about eating himself. Looking at his blood-stained eyes, completely red, and a large area of black green in his eyes, he whispered: "Has the emperor been busy until he finished just now?"
Zhu Feng said: "Not it, I also slept for a while in the middle."
I'm afraid it won't take a while.
She didn't say much. When Zhu Feng took another sip of porridge, the bowl was bottomed out, and hurriedly served him half a bowl.
But he said softly: "Your Majesty, don't eat too fast and too much, less so as not to hurt your stomach. Also, don't eat this spicy food first, it's greasy. This pickled cucumber is better..."
Zhu Feng listened to her and drank half a bowl. Although he didn't feel full, he was not hungry.
I looked up and looked outside, it was already bright.
The sunlight also made him a little dizzy.
Zhu Feng narrowed his eyes and said, "I'll sleep with you for a while."
