On the 26th day of the twelfth lunar month of the second year of Kaicheng, Emperor Li Ang announced that he would "seal seal" and would no longer handle any government affairs. After the New Year's Day ceremony on the first day of the first lunar month, the emperor would "open seal" again. W★w★Wく.

The eunuchs in the inner palace are still as busy as ever. On New Year's Eve, the Daming Palace will hold a grand Nuo dance to drive away evil diseases and pray to heaven. The number of Nuo dancers this year will increase to 1,200, 30, the highest number of years since the Kaiyuan period of the Yamato. The emperor issued an edict on the 25th day of the first lunar month. All the magical instruments and masks used in the Nuo dance this year are new, and the original magical instruments are rewarded to Chang'an as the honor of the emperor, and the people of the two counties in ten thousand years. In such a short time, they have to prepare so many magical instruments, but they have really been busy with the relevant bureaus of the Escort Province.

Not only the Nuo dance on New Year's Eve, the emperor also issued a new order for the New Year's Day ceremony to create a new atmosphere this year. Although the scene is grander than in previous years, what is more important is to create new ideas in details. Nuo dance and dynasty gatherings have fixed rituals, with many rules and strict rules, and no slightest confusion. How easy is it to create new ideas here?

When the eunuchs of the Eunuchs of the Eunuchs were worried about this, the eunuchs of the Eunuchs of the Eunuchs of the Eunuchs of the Eunuchs of the Eunuchs of the Eunuchs of the Eunuchs, Qiu Shiliang, suddenly left the Daming Palace and returned to the Shence Left Army Camp outside the Zuoyintai Gate.

As the sky was getting dark, snowflakes floated again in the sky. This was the eighth snow since winter began. Wu Chen came to Qiu Shiliang's house in the snow and snow. When he took off his clothes and changed his shoes in the doorman, he asked the eunuch Chang Xuanhua, the butler of Qiu Zhuang: "Have you used supper by lieutenant?"

Chang Xuanhua replied: "I only drank a small bowl of porridge and half a piece of bread."

Chang Xuanhua used his hand to compare the size of the cake below.

Wu Chen frowned. In his opinion, eating this little thing is different from not eating. He called Chang Xuanhua to his side and explained a few words. Chang Xuanhua showed joy and nodded excitedly.

Qiuzhuang is actually an independent courtyard in the Zuojun camp. When it was built, Wu Chen named it "Qiuyuan". Qiu Shiliang thought it was so ugly that he picked up his pen and changed it to Qiuzhuang. Whether from the inside or outside, Qiuzhuang is ordinary, so he can't be more ordinary. If he put it in Chang'an City, anyone who sees it will say it is the courtyard of an ordinary well-off family.

But the difference here is also very obvious, and the guards are extremely strict here. There are 630 golden dragon armor guards next to the emperor, and 700 iron armor guards guarding Qiuzhuang. Originally, the Shence Army camp was already heavily guarded and outsiders could not get close. But in Qiuzhuang, even the generals of the Shence Army were not allowed to get close without Qiu Shiliang's permission.

However, there are always exceptions in everything. If there is one person, he can enter and exit freely, and this person is the judge Wu Chen.

Qiu Shiliang leaned his back on the high-back soft chair behind the scenes, closing his eyes to rest. This chair was specially customized by Wu Chen, and the back of the chair can be adjusted freely. When the angle is small, you can sit as a chair, and when the angle is large, you can rest.

There was a secret document on the case, circled it, outlining many places. Obviously Qiu Shiliang looked at it very carefully. This was a list of assassinations reported by Wu Chen. The targets of assassination were three swords and sixteen horizontal swords from the Baoli Society of the Spurs. Taking advantage of the change of the Ming Palace, Qiu Shiliang once forced the Spurs into a cliff. Unfortunately, he lost that force at the last moment, which gave the Spurs to a breather.

The grass is cut without removing the roots, and the spring breeze grows again. In just two years, the remaining forces of the Thorn Horse Camp were like wildfires that were burned away the branches but not damaged the roots. After the cold winter, the spring breeze came. They broke through the ground and grew vigorously. In the blink of an eye, they were full of green grass all over the sky. They were already full of wings, and they were no longer satisfied with the sword light and sword shadows. The secret battles between them were coming and going, and now it was time to tear their faces apart and die.

Wu Chen decided to take the initiative first, take advantage of the internal conflicts within the Stoke Horse Camp and choose the most popular Baoli Society to start the operation. Qiu Shiliang knew very well that once he approved this assassination plan, it would mean a full declaration of war on the Stoke Horse Camp. To this day, although the two families have been killed, no one has broken through the last layer of window paper. In the Ganlu Incident, Qiu Shiliang pursued Li Xun, Zheng Zhu and other treacherous officials who rebelled in the court, and killed the rebellionists involved in the rebellion. He did not mention the word Stoke Horse Camp from beginning to end.

After so many years of swords and swords, it was really time to break through the window paper, and this determination was extremely difficult. Qiu Shiliang hid back to Qiu Zhuang to make up this decision. Just as Wu Chen pushed the door and entered the room, Qiu Shiliang finally drew the word "qualified" in his heart. He asked Wu Chen to sit next to the brazier and look at the fire, and the servant brought tea and retreated.

"Everything is ready, only the east wind is not needed."

When Wu Chen spoke, he stared at Qiu Shiliang with his eyes and expressed his intentions directly, hoping to get a positive and positive answer from Qiu Shiliang. Qiu Shiliang nodded slightly.

Wu Chen walked to the case and took the secret report and threw it into the brazier. The lives of tens of thousands of people turned into ashes in a ball of light yellow flame.

Chang Xuanhua walked in with two bowls of noodles, a bowl of red beef noodles and a bowl of clear soup, green vegetables and egg noodles.

"I haven't had dinner yet, so I can eat a bowl of noodles with precious land."

Wu Chen picked up the noodles with the soup and handed it to Qiu Shiliang. Qiu Shiliang was slightly stunned and took it. Wu Chen picked up the noodles and started eating it. If he could swallow this bowl of noodles in a few bites, but today, in order not to let Qiu Shiliang put down his chopsticks so early, he deliberately chewed it slowly.

Qiu Shiliang grinned: "Don't wait for me, I promise to finish this bowl of noodles." Speaking of this, Qiu Shiliang lowered his head and pondered for a while, "I have agreed to that. Beijing can only pretend to move."

...

Zhang Yingying's current identity is Wang Chun's goddaughter. According to regulations, she cannot enter and exit the Ying Prince's Mansion at will. However, the Ying Princess specifically told her that except for the inner court, she could walk anywhere in the palace.

Zhang Yingying's favorite place to go is Wang Fu'er's music shop. Although Wang Fu'er was favored by Li Yan, she had no status in the palace. When Li Yan did not summon her, she could not even enter the inner court. Zhang Yingying was both interested in playing the piano and singing and dancing. When Wang Fu'er was happy, she recognized her as her apprentice and taught her step by step.

On this day, Wang Fu'er was explaining the steps and techniques of court dance to her. Li Yanhu sent someone to call her. Wang Fu'er asked what happened. The palace maid replied: "Several marquis in the court come to worship His Highness. Your Highness will stay for a banquet and ask the girl to sing and dance to cheer her up." Wang Fu'er said to Zhang Yingying: "It seems that I can't teach you today. You can come back tomorrow."

Just as Zhang Yingying was about to leave, Lebanban Woodsmei stopped her and said, "The day before yesterday, the girl told me to buy a few new pianos for the girls to practice using. I chose a piano store, but the price was a bit high, and I didn't know whether it was at least. The girl had nothing to do, so she might go and give her a look."

Zhang Yingying giggled and said, "I am still learning skills, so I dare not pretend to be an expert." Woodsmei stopped her and said, "It's better to buy a good person than a seller. Who will fight for that amount of money? I don't want to be looked down upon by him and I'll use it to scare me. You are a lady from a family. How dare he scare me again when he stops?" Zhang Yingying thought that she had nothing to do with her, so she just went out to play around and responded. Woodsmei called a carriage to walk through the streets and alleys to the piano store.

After entering the piano store, Zhang Yingying said nothing, just watched quietly and listened quietly. Seeing that she was of good temperament, the shopkeeper did not dare to underestimate her. But after not seeing her speak for a long time, he became careless. Just when he and Woodsmei were singing, Zhang Yingying pointed out his mistakes, which made the shopkeeper shocked and dared not fool Woodsmei anymore.

After choosing the piano, he paid a deposit. Woodsmei said, "It's still early, I want to visit a sister. Do you go?" Zhang Yingying smiled and said, "You take me there and I will go, so I can save me from going back and let me see you, saying you are wandering around and lazy." Woodsmei hugged Zhang Yingying and said, "My son, no wonder there is no one in the house who doesn't love you. He is such a clever person."

Zhang Yingying suddenly became depressed after hearing this. Woodsmei accidentally touched other people's sad things and became uneasy. She hugged Zhang Yingying and comforted her: "It's helpless to be like this. Fortunately, you still have your godfather and Mr. Guan who loves you, are much luckier than the orphans in Le's class." Zhang Yingying wiped her tears and smiled: "I'm more content than the best than the best, I'm very content." Woodsmei sighed quietly.

The person Woodsmei was going to meet was originally a senior sister who was a master who learned from her. She married a small school when she was young and popular. The small school was very unsuccessful that day, and the sisters made fun of her as a flower inserted in cow dung. Only Woodsmei kept encouraging her to fly far away. In the next ten years, the small school was promoted step by step, and was promoted to General Zuo Shence Army. The sister who was originally ridiculed got rid of her bad family and transformed herself into a dignified general's wife.

The two entered through the back door of the General's Mansion. Woodsmei was familiar with the passage and took Zhang Yingying directly to the living room of the back hall. When the butler came to serve tea, Woodsmei asked, "Why didn't you see her?"

The inner housekeeper said: "The general is going to go far, and the lady is busy preparing her luggage."

Woodsmei smiled and said, "I'm talking nonsense again. Where can I go for the New Year? The border troops may have to go to war, and the emperor's imperial guards will go to war? Besides, even if I go to war with the order, do the wife have to do it yourself? Are you all just taking money and not working?" Because of the fact that Woodsmei is already very familiar with the inner butler, so she made this joke. The inner butler didn't care at all, but laughed.

She glanced outside, and then said to Woodsmei mysteriously: "The military order was issued this morning. When the general came back, he sighed and his wife's eyes were swollen. Now the two of them are talking about their own things."

Woodsmei said in surprise: "Is the border really going to fight? These damn Hu people will not be able to make people feel at ease during the New Year."

Zhang Yingying interrupted: "The Hu people in the north are only in the New Year."

The inner butler looked at Zhang Yingying in surprise and asked Woodsmei: "Your daughter?"

Woodsmei sniffed and said, "If I had such a daughter, I would wake up laughing when I fell asleep. Don't guess, Girl Yingying is a loyal and honest lady, the real lady."

The inner butler heard this and said, "It's different to listen to this conversation. The lady said it's right. The Hu people in the north are just a ritual, so it makes people feel uneasy."

Woodsmei pondered: "That's what happened, there was a chaos in the north. Didn't it mean that Hedong, Zhenwu... By the way, Fengzhou, are their border troops very capable of fighting? Why? They were all defeated? They actually wanted the prince's imperial guards to fight?"

The inner butler shook his head and smiled, "How can I know about military and national affairs?"

After sitting for a while, Mrs. Lu beat the maid and invited Woodsmei and Zhang Yingying in. Mrs. Lu was the same year and month as Woodsmei, but her face seemed to be six or seven years younger than Woodsmei. At this moment, her eyes were swollen and she had tears on her cheeks. When she saw Woodsmei's face, Mrs. Lu held her hand and complained: "You said my life is so miserable? Twelve people drew lots, drew lots, but why did it fall on his head?"

Woodsmei lowered her voice and asked, "Is it really going to fight with the Hu people?"

Mrs. Lu nodded, shook her head again, and said, "It's about to fight, not fight with the Hu people, but with..." Speaking of this, Mrs. Lu suddenly stopped. She glanced at Zhang Yingying and asked Woodsmei: "Is she your apprentice?" Woodsmei laughed and said, "I don't have this blessing, I am..." Zhang Yingying interrupted, "I am the disciple of Sister Fu'er."

After hearing this, Mrs. Lu curled her lips and said, "The little girl looks very smart. She turns out to be a fool. You are Wang Fuer's disciple, and that's my nephew. Why don't you kneel down when you see your uncle?" Woodsmei was shocked and hurriedly asked to explain.

Zhang Yingying took the lead, kowtowed to Mrs. Lu, and called out "Master" simply. Mrs. Lu was overjoyed when she heard this. Woody hurriedly helped Zhang Yingying up and said to Mrs. Lu: "You can't think about it. She is a lady from a lady. Even if you have achieved success now, you can't ruin her identity." Mrs. Lu was very satisfied with Zhang Yingying's performance just now. She held Zhang Yingying's hand and looked at it again and again, and she liked it so much.

Zhang Yingying asked Mrs. Lu: "I have an uncle who works as an official in Hedong. I won't fight to Hedong this time, right?"

Mrs. Lu asked, "Where is your uncle an official in that prefecture and county?" Zhang Yingying shook her head: "Originally in Beijing, but later she was promoted and left Taiyuan Prefecture. I don't know where she is now."
