According to the custom, Shi Yuguo, under the guidance of Wei Xiong, first read the gift list of the gifts he brought. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

In Liu Jizu's satisfied eyes, this conversation between the emperor and the envoy began.

And Luo Shen stood behind Shi Yuguo, but he kept his head down, and he didn't even raise his head from beginning to end.

"What does your envoy think of Zhongjing?" Liu Jizu's tone was a little proud, looking at the person with some silver hair standing in the center of the Taiji Hall, and said with a smile.

"Zhongjing is very large, and the moon is incomparable. Shi Yuguo said very seriously, but also very sincerely.

"Your envoy is humble, I went to Huanyue once when I was young, and the scenery is incomparable in Beijing. Shi Yuguo gave Liu Jizu such a big compliment, of course Liu Jizu has to return the last one.

"Weichen has a friend who went to Canghai City a few days ago, and he said that the scenery of Canghai City is even inferior to Huanyue. Shi Yuguo responded happily, and didn't seem to find anything wrong with his words.

"Oh, what do you have to do with your friends to go to Canghai City?" Liu Jizu's instinct as a superior told Liu Jizu that there seemed to be some unsettling circumstances in this matter.

"My king also prepared a New Year's gift for Wuhou. Shi Yuguo bowed, but his eyes drifted up, and Liu Jizu's face became a little hideous after he mentioned the word Wuhou.

Liu Jizu endured the anger in his heart, and his face turned slightly pale.

"King Huanyue and Wuhou still have a relationship?" Liu Jizu's tone was questioning, but the index finger on his right hand kept tapping on the armrest.

Shi Yuguo had studied the information sent back to Huanyue from Zhongjing for several months before sending the Han envoy, and this information recorded Liu Jizu's preferences and habits in detail, not even a small habit, and this habit of being heavily marked by the intelligence officers was kept in mind by Shi Yuguo, which represented that Liu Jizu was making a very difficult decision.

So Shi Yuguo's heart was a little apprehensive.

"It can be regarded as acquaintance, and another friend of the king sent some treasures unique to Huanyue and Marquis Lin. Oh...... It's not much different from the gift I brought to Your Majesty this time. Shi Yuguo's heart thumped after saying this, although his body couldn't help but tremble, but his face was forced to pretend to be a natural look.

Shi Yuguo's head raised slightly, and he felt that the air in front of him seemed to have frozen after he finished saying this.

The air pressure in front of him was inexplicably lower, and then Liu Jizu's body sitting on the imperial couch was already straightened in a lazy state.

The constantly beating index finger stopped instantly, clenched into a fist, and even the eyes showed a hint of resentment.

This cold anger passed by, and the man on the imperial couch finally let go of his clenched fist, and his eyes became extraordinarily kind.

At this time, Shi Yuguo, who was already shocked and covered in cold sweat, finally breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Liu Jizu's expression, and then the smile on his face became thicker.

Hurriedly saying goodbye, Shi Yuguo and Luo Shen were like lost dogs, trotted all the way, left the imperial city, and didn't even have time to report to the Ministry of Rites, so they returned directly to Honglu Temple, saying that Huanyue was in a hurry and was anxious to return, and left Zhongjing in the afternoon of the same day.

There is a mountain at the southernmost end of the city of Chugseong, which echoes the mountain surrounded by the Yingtian hospital in the north, and is called Qishan by the people of Chukyung.

The terrain here is relatively high, and the climate of rain clouds is relatively small, which is convenient for stargazing and looking at the sky, so the Great Han Taishi Bureau is located here.

Five years ago, the new emperor ascended the throne and did not believe in the theory of heaven and earth Huang Lao, so the Taishi Bureau became the least important institution in the imperial court, and also became the most quiet yamen.

Today, the Taishi Bureau is very lively, dozens of Imperial Forest Army, guarding several officials, standing under the stone steps, cutting off the connection between inside and outside, occasionally pedestrians passing by, seeing this scene and surprised, this soon-to-be forgotten imperial court yamen, there is such a lively day, presumably His Majesty the Emperor has changed his temperament?

Those officials of the Ministry of Rites and the Imperial Forest Army did not enter the Taishi Bureau, and it was a eunuch leader who entered the Taishi Bureau, but in such a big scene, it was strange that no one seemed to come to greet them.

The chief eunuch stared at the main hall with the door closed with a gloomy and ugly face, and said in a cold voice: "Your Majesty is waiting for your reply, and the court is waiting for your comment, you must give a reply today." With the words spoken, the atmosphere in the Taishi Bureau became extremely depressing and tense.

In the main hall of the Taishi Bureau, there are a lot of instruments used for stargazing, and out of the back door is a huge courtyard, which can go straight to the terrace, and above the terrace is a huge stone platform as high as three zhang high, and in front of the stone platform is a huge incense burner.

On the small table in the hall at this time there was only a plate of salt-baked peanuts with only a few grains left, a jar of not very strong wine, and a candlestick that was still burning during the day for some reason. There were two very depressed people sitting, drinking without taste. One of them is Luo Kecheng, the head of the bureau, and the other is Xu Tian, the deputy of the bureau, who are the two highest-ranking officials in the Taishi Bureau.

On top of the small table was a tiny note.

Luo Kecheng smiled bitterly after looking at the small note again, put the note on the candlestick, and watched the note burn out, turn into a handful of fine ash, and disappear without a trace.

The eunuch's cold voice came through the door: "Your Majesty wants to tell the truth, and what you want is not a lie." You only have this last chance. ”

Luo Kecheng glanced at the closed door, a bleak smile appeared on his face, drank all the wine in the cup, looked at Xu Tian and said, "It's such a coincidence, Master Hou's methods are really as ruthless as usual." ”

Xu Tian was silent, holding the wine jug to fill the wine glass for the adult.

Luo Kecheng picked up the wine glass, stunned for a while, then brought it to his lips and drank it slowly, and said with a blank expression: "Your Majesty just wants an excuse, and this excuse must not come from the Taishi Bureau." ”

Xu Tian felt slightly nervous, and sincerely persuaded him: "This is just Hou Ye's speculation." ”

"Guess?" Luo Kecheng looked at him quietly, "Your Majesty wants the Lin family's army to die, and the Lin family's army must not die." ”

"As a native of Canghai City, I am the only one, and you ......" Xu Tian sighed, his expression was a little desolate, he had already sprouted his will to die, but he couldn't help but feel sorry for Luo Kecheng.

"Hehe, I'm also from Canghai City. It's just that you and they don't know. I don't know why, Luo Kecheng's mood suddenly became better, and he raised his glass again and again, with a slightly drunken meaning.

Xu Tian waited for him to finish the last glass of wine in the small jar, picked up a silver wine jug from the shelf behind him, and gently placed it on the table.

"Although the local wine in Canghai City is spicy, it is still so delicious. Luo Kecheng, obviously not enough of the turbid wine from Canghai City, which was not very well-made, pursed his lips unsatisfied.

Then he suddenly opened his eyes. lifted the silver wine jug and solemnly poured it for Xu Tian and himself.

Xu Tian stared at the wine glass, was silent for a long time, and nodded slightly.

Then the two men raised their glasses at the same time and drank them all.

The door to the main hall of the Taishi Bureau finally opened.

Looking at the bodies of Luo Kecheng, the chief of the Taishi Bureau, and Xu Tian, the deputy of the bureau, who committed suicide by drinking poisonous wine, fell to the ground, the face of the eunuch leader became extremely ugly, his body trembled, and his voice became more and more scathing, and it was extremely difficult to hear.

"What a guts...... What a bold man! How dare you commit suicide in fear of sin!"

After learning of the death of the two officials of the Taishi Bureau, the officials of the Ministry of Rites left in a hurry, and the expressions on their faces were a little complicated and indescribable.

"Go back to the palace. The chief eunuch knew that his task could not be completed, and looked at the two who fell to the ground in disgust, and turned to leave.
