During this period, Emperor LiZong could say that he did not hear any good news. Now hearing Yan Guifei say that she has good news to tell herself, he happily asks, "Oh, princess, what good news do you have? Tell me clean."

"I feel happy." Yan Guifei deliberately pretended to be very shameful and replied.

After hearing this, Emperor LiZong asked incredulously, "really?"

"Of course, it's true. How dare I deceive you!" Yan Guifei replied.

Emperor LiZong said: "it's so good. Now I have only one princess. This princess Jia is pregnant. Now you are pregnant with dragon seed. It's a double happiness. I'm so happy today."

"Congratulations to your majesty, congratulations to your majesty!" The eunuch Dong Song Chen Dao, the general manager of Inner Mongolia.

Emperor LiZong said with a smile: "manager Dong, you should take care of Yan Guifei more in the future. As long as she wants to eat anything, no matter when it is, you should let the chef in the imperial dining room do it for my wife."

"Housekeeper, I will obey you The eunuch Dong Song Chen Dao, the general manager of Inner Mongolia.

After that, Dong songchen said, "it's just this .。”

"What's the matter, manager Dong?" emperor LiZong of the great song dynasty asked, looking at the look of Duke Dong.

The eunuch in charge of the Imperial Palace replied: "at present, the concubine is pregnant. As far as I know, the most taboo thing is to be in a bad mood in time after pregnancy, which will affect the baby in the pregnant woman's stomach."

"What's happened to you now, princess Emperor LiZong asked.

Dong answered, "yes."

"Princess Ai, if you have something to worry about, please tell me. As long as I can do it, I will do it for you." Emperor LiZong listened to the words of Dong songchen, who was in charge of the grand interior, and turned to her.

Yan Guifei lowered her head and said, "it's really hard for me to say this."

"I'll let you say it, just say it. No matter what you say, I won't blame you." Li Zong emperor road.

Dong songchen, the eunuch in charge of the Imperial Palace, said, "Your Majesty, I'd better let the old slave speak for your concubine."

"Well, say so." Emperor LiZong told the officials of Dong and Song dynasties.

Dong songchen, the eunuch in charge of the Ministry of internal affairs, said: "Your Majesty, you know that Ding Xiangye is the godfather of the Empress Dowager. When she was a child, she was taken care of by him in every way. It can be said that she is no different from her father. Now that the prime minister has an accident, she is naturally very worried. But she knows her Majesty's rules and dares not to do it for herself My father pleaded with me. Of course, I suffered a lot in my heart. "

After hearing these words, Emperor LiZong understood the purpose of Yan Guifei's coming to see him.

Emperor LiZong sighed and said, "well, I always think highly of Ding Aiqing, but I never thought that she would look at me."

"In my opinion, Mr. Ding Xiang is still loyal to your majesty. I don't think he is against you intentionally." Dong songchen bowed himself.

Emperor LiZong glared at him and said, "you slave, how can you say that? You know, the evidence of Ding Daquan and his son's crime is solid. Their father and son secretly tried to murder the Mongolian emissary. Fortunately, they didn't succeed. Otherwise, my song dynasty would be in danger."

"Housekeeper, from the point of view of the old slave, this Ding Xiangye and her son Ding song should be treated separately." Dong songchen said.

Emperor LiZong said: "they are father and son, a family, eating in a pot, how can they separate?"

"My brother, my concubine, was very fond of by his godfather when he was a child. When he grew up, he didn't want to work for the imperial court. He had no choice but to open a restaurant for him. Who knows that when his godfather was busy sharing his worries for his majesty, Ding song secretly joined the bandit organization in the river and lake." Yan Guifei wiped the tears on the corner of her mouth and said.

Emperor LiZong heartache way: "love imperial concubine, you must not be sad, it seems that you are still a very filial child, but this Ding Daquan father and son are not striving for success."

"Thank you for your concern. You're right. My concubine's godfather and brother really failed to live up to your expectations." Yan Guifei said.

It has been said that emperor LiZong wanted to teach Ding Daquan a lesson because of the balance of power between the two factions in the court, but he didn't want to kill him. If Ding Daquan was killed this time, Jia Sidao, the prime minister, would be the only one in the court.

These inner things, naturally, he would not say to Yan Guifei and Dong songchen.

After hearing this, in fact, Emperor LiZong wanted to rescue Ding Daquan from this crisis. He could not support Ding Daquan himself. That would be tantamount to making Jia Sidao have an idea. If he wanted to negotiate with the Mongolian mission, Jia Sidao would have to do it. Since he wanted to use Jia Sidao, he could not offend Jia Sidao.

At present, Ma Tianji, the Bachelor of Duanming palace, is pleading for Ding Daquan. But Ma Tianji can't compete with Jia Sidao in his position. It's hard to deal with Jia Sidao alone. At this time, the appearance of Dong songchen and Yan Guifei, the general manager of the University, can actually help Ma Tianji, the Bachelor of Duanming palace.In the past, Emperor LiZong didn't think about this. He always thought that Yan Guifei, a woman in the center of the harem, was also very heavy. When Ding Daquan was in bad luck, she would only hide and could not come forward.

It can be said that this time Yan Guifei came here to plead for her godfather, which was quite unexpected.

Of course, the collusion between Yan Guifei, Dong songchen, Ma Tianji and Ding Daquan happened. Jia Sidao also secretly reported to Emperor LiZong when he attacked Ding Daquan. Emperor LiZong seemed to believe it or not, but it was in his mind.

Now emperor LiZong is putting Ding Daquan under house arrest in his prime minister's residence. In fact, he wants to send a signal to Ding Dang that you can find a way to save Ding Daquan.

Emperor LiZong nodded and said, "Princess Ai, you're right. Ding song is really your godfather who spoiled him. I've heard Jia Aiqing say that when officials from other places came to Lin'an, they didn't go to see me first, but went to Ding song's restaurant. They said that as long as they went to him, the next promotion would be a matter of course 。”

"Your Majesty, in fact, this is all the nonsense of the brother of my concubine in order to let others eat in his restaurant. Please think about it. In this court, in addition to my concubine's godfather being the prime minister, there is Jia Sidao and Jia Xiangye. My concubine's godfather is just like this. Jia Sidao and Jia Xiangye can't get through it." Yan Guifei explained.

After waiting for Yan Guifei to finish, Dong songchen continued: "Your Majesty, please forgive me. In fact, I have been to Ding song's restaurant."

"Oh, what are you doing there?" Emperor LiZong was surprised to see that Dong songchen had said that he had been to dingsong restaurant, so he asked.

Dong songchen said: "the Empress Dowager has always been very fond of her dry brother. Sometimes your majesty gives her delicious food. She is reluctant to eat it. It is inconvenient for him to go out of the palace. So he orders the old slave to send these good things to the wine house and let his dry brother taste it. Ding song sees that the old slave is in charge of the lady In order to show his gratitude, he invited the old slave to have a good meal in his restaurant. "

" it's human feelings, normal communication. What's your sin? How can I blame you for this! "Emperor li Zong said.

Dong songchen knelt down on the ground in a hurry and said, "thank you for your magnanimity for not punishing the old slave. "

" get up, why do you care about this. "Emperor LiZong said.

Then he asked, "Mr. Dong, since you've been to Ding song's restaurant, what's the secret of his restaurant? "

" I dare not deceive your majesty. Ding song's restaurant is really much more elegant than other restaurants. It only receives a fixed number of people every day. On top of the banquet, there are singing and dancing girls specially trained by him. Nothing else? "Dong songchen said.

Yan Guifei said: "as Mr. Dong said, my brother-in-law's restaurant is very private. When the officials have private affairs, they naturally want to go to him to discuss with him. In this way, they not only have identity, but also don't disclose what they want to say. Once they come and go, they will pass on my brother-in-law's Restaurant more and more vividly, Of course, I dare not deny that some of the officials went to Ding song's restaurant to drink for pleasure in order to curry favor with my godfather Ding Daquan. "

" Princess Ai, you told me the truth in front of me. Since I can be the emperor of the Song Dynasty, it's not stupid. It's impossible to say that Ding song's restaurant has nothing to do with his father. To put it bluntly, without Ding Daquan's support, Ding song's restaurant would have been taken away by Jia Sidao. "Emperor LiZong said with a smile.

Yan Guifei said: "Your Majesty, you really know what you see. You can see the things inside very well. "

" you are right, your majesty knows everything that happened in the great Song Dynasty, but sometimes he didn't say a word out of his love for his ministers. "Dong songchen continued.

Emperor LiZong of the great song dynasty said, "Duke Dong, you are worthy of being the longest servant with me. You know my mind."

He stopped for a moment and said, "I know that it's not easy for my ministers. Sometimes, in order to do things for me, it's hard to avoid doing something out of the ordinary. If I want to be lenient to them, I'll pretend that I don't know the truth about them. But now, I'm wrong."

"You are generous to your ministers. They are very grateful to you in their heart. Housekeeper, why do you say that?" Dong songchen asked.

Emperor LiZong of the great song dynasty replied, "I have been too lenient to them. Now it seems that I am actually conniving at them. As a result, they are more and more courageous. It seems that I have harmed them."

"Your Majesty, it's very kind of you. The ministers have committed such crimes, but you take the responsibility for their mistakes. If Ding Daquan, the ministers, hears this, they will surely die of shame." Dong songchen said.Emperor LiZong said, "well, it would be nice if all the ministers under me could understand my painstaking efforts."

"This time you are so generous to my godfather, I can feel how good you are. In the future, I must serve you well, and let your majesty go back to the harem after doing things from the court. There is no unhappiness." Yan Guifei said.

Emperor LiZong looked at Yan Guifei, and suddenly felt that the family affection was very important to a person, even a selfish person. What Yan Guifei said to herself now is so sincere. Frankly speaking, it's not to make me treat her Godfather better.

"Thinking of this, he suddenly didn't want to talk to Yan Guifei any more. He said," Princess Ai, you've been here for a long time. Now you're pregnant with dragon seed, so you should have a lot of rest. " Emperor Li Zong of the great song dynasty.

Yan Guifei heard the emperor say so, she immediately said: "Your Majesty, since you said so, that minister concubine will go back to rest, don't disturb you."

After that, he bowed to Emperor LiZong and withdrew.

Dong songchen did not leave immediately, but stayed with emperor LiZong and served him.

The emperor stood to fill the tea.

Emperor LiZong continued to watch the crickets fighting with each other in the insect basin. After watching for a while, he said to Dong songchen, who was standing behind him, "come and have a look."

According to Emperor LiZong's order, Dong songchen took a step forward and looked down at the Cricket fight.

Originally, there were only two crickets fighting in the cricket basin, but when Dong songchen came to see him, the emperor LiZong brought another cricket and threw it into the basin.

There were only three crickets in the cricket pot, but only two of them were fighting there. The other cricket just watched closely. No matter how teased by Emperor LiZong, it would not participate in the fight.

"You see, originally there were only two crickets in the cricket basin, and they fought happily. But now, after joining a cricket, the fight back is not so fierce, and one of them is just watching coldly." Emperor Li Zong of the great song dynasty.

Dong songchen knew that emperor LiZong liked to confirm the things in the court with the things in the cricket. It seemed that cricket was actually suggesting something.

So he asked: "Your Majesty, there is a deep truth in your words, but the old minister is stupid and can't understand it. Please make it clear to your majesty that the old slave can do it. "

" what I mean is very clear. When three crickets are together, it's not as fun as when two crickets are fighting together. What's the use of having that extra cricket? "Emperor LiZong of the Song Dynasty asked.
