第五百零五章 不妨饮茶先(1 / 2)

酒剑四方 凉凉不加班 1638 字 2022-09-20

接连多日,由打上齐皇城发往各处边关的密令,似雪片相仿,尤其北疆各道关口,更是一日之间调军无数,虽说行事极隐秘,可到底是有些许风声,不过这点滴风声,却是尽数被人有意压下,丝毫不曾传扬开来。

上齐近些年来,少有军甲调度的时日,如此一来,朝堂当中自然不平静,更何况密令如纷飞雪花,许多大员皆是觉察出其中滋味,不过也无人胆敢提及,只是将眼见事揣到心中,并无其他心思。

天子宅心仁厚,多喜文墨,但并非便是手腕绵软之辈,若是太平无事,自可与殿内头几品大员洽谈当今锦绣文章,文坛大家新作字画,但眼下此般情形,自然是无人胆敢触碰霉头,纷纷眼观鼻鼻观心,老实本分。

不过在这其中,倒也有例外者,此事一出,便是遣家丁仆从备得短轿,趁夜色直奔皇宫内院,并不愿加以掩饰。

皇城当中已是添起炉火,内院以里起码设有麒麟炉数十,将连绵宫阙尽数烘得温热暖和,且不说堪比夏时,总归有春深意味。

甬道之上群臣下轿,纵使年长腿脚不便者,亦需如此,上齐讲究个礼字,君臣长幼,向来礼数为先,可满座朝堂中唯有一位不需下轿,直行到皇宫内院外,再遣去家丁轿夫即可。

但眼下这老人才乘轿入得宫门,便令一众家丁散去,颤颤巍巍迈步,直往宫内而去,走得艰难。

“荀相无需如此,近日来腿脚不便,乘轿而进也可,圣上特地吩咐,唯荀相可乘轿入宫,并无太多忌讳,何苦步行。”周遭有两位内侍捉灯笼近前引路,低眉柔声,同那老者言说。

“六旬上下便要坐轿入宫,若是侥幸活到耄耋之年,岂不变为倚老卖老的祸害,规矩本就是规矩,圣人启口,也要依此行事。”老者却是摇头笑拒,“既是圣人有意,老朽自要涕零承下,但如何有那等胆魄,使圣人再退再让,如何都要心头有数才好。”

皇城当中的内侍,自然是心性非比寻常之辈,伴君伴虎,即便圣上仁德,也自需多凭缜密心思行事,荀相方一出口,便知无错。

“既是荀相不欲行此便宜,如不嫌我二人卑鄙,便由我等搀扶您老,前去宫内如何?”另一位内侍躬身行礼,将灯笼交到左手,神情和善。

“且不劳烦两位费力,”荀文曲面皮亦是和善,爽朗笑笑,“老朽还未到那般苟延残喘的年纪,何况身为内侍,当扶龙而上,功在社稷,怎能搀扶垂垂老矣之辈。两位前头引路即可,老朽自行面圣便好。”

二人知解其意,知晓老者执拗,故而略微拱手,分列前后,灯笼照亮老者左右十步,缓缓而行。

皇宫内院当中清秋,总是比起宫外冷清萧瑟许多,兴许是夜色深沉,且少有人出行,除却有队队皇城卒卫巡视,铁甲映月,零星灯火,再无什么闲散人。

白日天光盛里金壁生辉,入夜时分静默皆寂,天下皇城以里,似乎都是如此一般。

身着黄袍的上齐圣人,近日来也是多有倦怠,如今伏于桌案,小憩一阵,旁人不敢打搅,只得再将麒麟炉当中添过碳火干柴。虽说是干柴,不过却是耗去不少财力人手,特地前去十万山中劈香犀木,再经几十道工序制得,最是能清明神智,且舒缓心疾,可纵使如此,也难令人几日不得安眠,而不觉困意。

老者入得殿中,并不急于上前,一来唯恐打搅圣上安眠,二来不合礼数规矩,故而索性于廊下坐定,随手拿起堆叠信件竹简,逐一观去。

奏折密函,自然不可妄自窥探,而其余文书,荀文曲却可近观,本就是日后要遣送到府上的文书卷帙,并无多少忌讳。宫女见这位荀相独自观文书,只借月色,颇为昏暗,故而携来明亮灯盏,摆到老者身侧,轻施一礼,“荀相如此时辰面圣,却是不巧,当下秋风寒瑟,不如先行前去侧殿避风躲寒,待到圣上醒转过后,再行进谏不迟。”

老人摇头,倒是朝眼前宫女多打量两眼,“不必劳心,多日不曾出外转悠,如今吹吹凉风,却也算是舒坦许多,应对诸般杂务,亦是极得心应手。”

荀相一向并无架子,向来不欺下而不冒上,故而这位宫女,亦是未曾有过多忌惮,却是轻声闲谈,并不怯生。

“圣上近些日来,颇有些形销骨立的意味,宫中我等奴婢虽是加倍上心侍奉,却无功用,兴许此番荀相前来,便能令圣上心思宽慰些许。”这宫女不过十又三四的年纪,可面皮已然长开,褪去诸般青涩,倒是显露出微施粉黛便可夺艳的骨相,怅然言道。

荀文曲笑笑,清清浑浊语调张口,“身为一国之君,高处不胜寒,更何况近来诸事冗杂,尽数凑到一处,圣上若是胸中无志,断然不至这般殚精竭虑,不过既然要做有道贤君,必定苦其心志,劳其肝胆。”

小宫女感叹一声,“原以为身在此间做宫女,终日不得出宫半步,成天操持琐碎小事,已然是极麻烦的营生,却不想圣人亦有圣人忧,如此想来,却是舒坦许多。”话出过后方知失语,旋即连忙掩住唇齿,起身同一旁老人接连躬身行礼。

荀文曲却是神情并无变动,只是挑眉问言,“娃娃是谁家女子,又为何将你送入宫中?”

宫女低眉,怯生生答道,“家父原本是朝中四品,前些年因事误了职守,被贬去官位,家中并无钱财,实在难以维持,故而将奴婢送入皇城,起码不受饥寒。”
