Spring always comes late in northern China, and snow remains in many places.

The clean-up in the second half of Xuande's third year turned the whole North into a battlefield, and countless troops were eyeing it.

There are many more sergeants on the walls of Peiping city than in previous years. They are not only staring outside the city, but also staring inside the city,

Those who go in and out under the wall will look at the side of the gate, where there is a dark trace.

At the end of last month, a gentry who donated most of his land was killed there.

Today, people who have experienced that time can still remember that scene

"Dog emperor, you must die!"

After the sharp scolding, when the city sergeant was still stunned, the man resolutely hit him.

It was a bang, like the sound of smashing a watermelon to the ground.

A carriage came in from outside the city. The sergeant guarding the city saw it and dredged the order.

There were servants at the front and back of the carriage. After entering the door, the girl's voice came from inside.

"Mom, they said someone was killed here."

"Mother, I want to see."

"Sit down! Don't look, or you will hit evil!"

"But they say dad can ward off evil spirits!"

"Nonsense! Your father is not a Bodhisattva. He can ward off evil!"

"Mom, they say that dad is full of evil spirit. No matter what evil spirit he doesn't dare to come."

“.…..”

The carriage went all the way outside the palace, and then Zhang Shuhui got off with worry free.

The two mammies had already waited in the palace gate. When they saw their mother and daughter, one of them smiled and said, "the mother didn't talk, so it's not too late for the lady, but the princess was angry and said that Miss carefree hasn't come yet..."

When I saw the three members of the Queen's family, the queen was trotting in front of the hall with corn, panting.

And Duan Duan stood on the side to refuel the corn: "refuel the corn, the empress immediately came after me, ah... Run!"

She cheered her brother on the side. When she saw worry free, she said happily, "worry free, come on, I left you delicious dried meat."

When the queen heard the cry, she grabbed the corn, and then turned around and said, "at this time, there are a lot of vegetables and vegetables missing. What kind of shed has been made by the Department of fine vegetables. If some good vegetables come out, I'll let you take some back."

Corn began to struggle to continue running. When he saw worry free, he shouted, "sister, play together."

Worry free made a face at him and said, "you're too young to play with you."

Corn looked up at Hu Shanxiang. The fat on his cheeks began to drum up and said seriously, "empress mother, play."

Hu Shanxiang said with a headache, "let someone take you to play."

"The queen mother wants her sister."

Corn is very domineering and carefree. As a result, it was fooled by the two girls in the past and threatened.

So he followed his two sisters to find food, while Hu Shanxiang and Zhang Shuhui were out in the sun.

After a winter's rest, Hu Shanxiang looked a little fat, but he was still chaste.

The palace was relatively stable at this time. The queen was in charge of the palace affairs, but she was kind and soft hearted, so there were endless praises.

Since the birth of brother Yu, sun did not see domineering. Instead, he kept a low profile because the emperor often went to her side.

The Empress Dowager has also opened the "pension model", which is almost invisible.

"The empress mother is going to summon many women's relatives of Xun Qi today. She asked the palace to draw up a list yesterday. I didn't want to write you, but the empress mother said she must let you come. She also said that Xinghe Bo can ward off evil spirits. I don't know how Mrs. Xinghe Bo is."

Hu Shanxiang smiled helplessly.

Zhang Shuhui also smiled bitterly and said, "come on, but those honourable relatives have been beaten by your majesty recently. They have also suffered from clearing the fields, and many have angered my family!"

"What does the empress mother mean?"

Hu Shanxiang also felt that the Empress Dowager was embarrassing Zhang Shuhui.

Zhang Shuhui doesn't understand, but she can't hide from many things, so her attitude is good.

"They can't fight, so I'll watch in the afternoon and eat more to turn them into cockfighting eyes."

There is another joke about fighting corns, that is, worry free and staring at each other.

Two little girls carved in powder and jade stared at each other, and they didn't move. Naturally, they made people laugh.

But their perseverance is not small. When they share the victory and defeat, their eyes are fixed, laughing and spraying a bunch of people.

After half an hour, Zhang Shuhui came out of the palace with worry free.

"Mother, there's a brother over there. Don't play with us."

Duan Duan has reached a very curious age. He often runs around in the palace, and then he will hear a lot of news.

She has no ability to distinguish right from wrong. Hu Shanxiang has to explain it to her carefully.

"That brother... Is still young and can't play with you. He's as delicate as corn. It'll be better if he gets bigger..."

Hu Shanxiang said it was difficult, but Duanduan suddenly said: "empress mother, they said that the father liked the brother and didn't like corn..."

"Sister!"

When the corn playing on the side heard Duanduan mention his name, he leaned over and smiled very cute.

Hu Shanxiang's body froze there. Looking at the end standing in front of him, he sighed for a long time and said, "those people are talking nonsense. Your father likes corn and often asks people to take it to teach."

……

"Has the family found out?"

The palace was still cold, but the charcoal basin in the warm Pavilion had been reduced to one. At least there was no need to open the curtain frequently to breathe.

Anlun said with a low eyebrow: "Your Majesty, the man is called Tao pan. More than 1000 mu of land in his family was donated. After raising people in his family, he didn't want to make progress and recited poetry against them all day... After he was collected, he drank and played at home all day... When he was drunk, he scolded. When he hit and died in the city gate that day, he was drunk."

Zhu Zhanji pondered for a moment and said, "then don't care about him, and are there any news about those heroes and generals everywhere?"

Yu Jia buried her head lower and said, "Your Majesty, someone in Xun Qi yelled behind his back. There are both the roster and what slaves and maidservants scolded. Submit it later."

"As for the generals... Xinghebo cleaned up when he was in Jinling. The generals in the South were a little afraid. After the news spread to the north, as far as the slaves knew, more than ten people broke off relations with the merchants and gentry outside..."

Zhu Zhanji put down the memorials in his hand, got up and went around the room. Then he said, "Bo Lilong in Xiangcheng likes to communicate with literati. Hou song Hu in Xining knows the opportunity, but after all, it is too slippery, but it is inconsistent with the decisiveness of the army. No wonder grandpa Huang refused to reuse them."

He was talking to himself, but where could Yu Jia and an Lun in the room listen to such words.

So they almost dropped their heads to their chest and begged the emperor not to say these things again.

"Wu Ren cherishes his body..."

Zhu Zhanji stopped at the door curtain. Yu Jia hurried to open the curtain. Then he stepped out of the warm Pavilion, but he said a word before going out.

"Human nature is private! If you can't see through, you don't deserve to be an emperor!"

Naturally, there was no snow in the palace, so song Chengcheng's work was less. After cleaning every day, he looked for birds.

When the snow was deep, many birds were frozen in the palace. Song Chengli found one and went to save it. Later, he became a bird lover out of control.

Zhu Zhanji went out of the palace and saw song Chengli wandering around from all angles. From time to time, he squatted down and looked carefully. He went over and said, "the birds have flown away this season. What else are you looking for?"

The spring in the north is not necessarily warm, but the plants begin to appear tender green. With more food, the birds will be saved.

Seeing that it was the emperor, song Chengzhen said, "Your Majesty, everything may be! Yesterday, the maid saved a bird, but it was very afraid and kept shaking..."

"Everything may..."

Zhu Zhanji's cold heart was more warm, nodded and said, "yes! The loyal officials and filial sons of all dynasties have never broken. It can be seen that there is righteousness in the world, so it shouldn't be mentioned."

"... later, the maidservant found a grain of rice and didn't eat it. The maidservant put it in the house. When he turned back and opened the door... It ran away... No conscience..."
