Chapter 258: Emperor Jinmeng
The sun is blazing in the south, and the land in the north is still covered with snow. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Half of the land of Jinmeng is in the ice and snow even in summer, and the capital city of Gilt City is also among them, and it is a place where there are no other three seasons and only winter.
It is naturally extremely difficult to have food in such a place, and it should not be a place where life exists, which is where many southerners are confused, but there are many kinds of magical vegetables and fruits that can only grow in such an extremely cold place, and it is these magical vegetables and fruits that have given birth to generations of Jinmeng.
One of the vegetables called "crystal leaves" is the staple food of the Jinmeng people, its whole body is emerald blue, which is somewhat similar to the cabbage leaves in the north of Zhongzhou, but it contains a lot of energy and the taste is also very delicious, so it is also the most consumed food in the Jinmeng Palace every day.
Tang Xi, the prime minister of Jinmeng, who was born in the north of Zhongzhou, but finally came to Jinmeng to become the prime minister of Jinmeng, is wearing a snow-white mink coat and following the team transporting crystal leaves in the Jinmeng Palace.
In the silver-clad palace, the team is like a team of ants foraging for food, scurrying forward.
"I remember that you only pulled ten carts of crystal leaves two days ago, and it stands to reason that there should be no need to transport them again until the day after tomorrow, why did you do such a thing today?"
Tang Xi raised his head, a look of doubt on his face that gave people a sense of peace of mind and gentleness, and looked at the leader of the team.
The team leader was a fat-headed and big-eared guy, stepping on the snow with one foot deep and one foot shallow, looking at Tang Xi, who was also walking on the snow, rubbing his frozen red hands and saying, "Back to the prime minister, it's Your Majesty's intention." ”
Tang Xi's calm face stiffened slightly, and a sigh appeared in his heart that he understood that the rest of the people present did not understand, and he didn't say anything, just buried his head and looked at the snow on the ground, and was trampled by his deep boots.
"Where did Your Majesty say it will be delivered, and will there be any changes in the volume of deliveries in the next few days?"
The team leader hesitated for a while, and felt that there was no need to hide it from the prime minister, and said: "The original volume and delivery date have not changed, but a lot of other days have been added. ”
"Transported to the palace cellar?"
"Hmm. ”
Tang Xi exhaled slowly, and white waves poured out of his mouth, although the hot air came out of his body, it felt colder than the air outside.
……
After dusting off the snow on his body, Tang Xi walked into the study that was as warm as spring.
Emperor Yelu Yangsen was sitting on the white tiger skin chaise longue in the study, a palace maid with a defenseless clothes, sweet appearance, and a bewitching figure full of delicate flesh-colored curves, was sending a purple grape from the southern land of Jinmeng into his mouth.
As soon as he opened the door, it was spring and warm, Tang Xi's thick eyebrows locked slightly, buried his head and looked at the plush carpet that covered the entire study, and did not speak.
"You go down first. Yelu Yangsen's expression did not change after seeing Tang Xi, and after his hand was still teasing her chest for a few moments, he patted her round ass and signaled the palace maid with a charming face to step back.
The palace maid snorted a few times, then wrapped herself in a robe, hiding her graceful curves and seductive beauty, glanced at this great prime minister who had paid a lot for Jinmeng, and then walked out of the study with a residual blush.
"Prime Minister. Yelu Yangsen's face became a little more serious, and he picked up his posture from the chaise longue.
Tang Xi sighed slightly, closed the door of the study, and respectfully walked in front of Yelu Yangsen.
"I don't know why Your Majesty is looking for a minister?"
Yelu Yangsen stood up, looked at the flying snow outside the window, tied a golden belt that symbolized the majesty of the royal family, and said, "I already know what happened in Hanyi City a month ago, and I know that all this was arranged by the prime minister, so I specially asked the prime minister about this matter. ”
Tang Xi said in a serious voice: "Back to Your Majesty, what does Your Majesty want to ask?"
Yelu Yangsen laughed, turned his head sideways to look at Tang Xi, and said with a smile: "It's not to ask anything, it's just to chat with the prime minister." I, the two Yuan Masters of Jinmeng, set off a bloody storm in his capital city of Hanyi, which is a very happy thing no matter what. ”
Tang Xi bowed down and looked at the fire in the rune furnace that created warmth in the study, and said: "It's not a victory, and it's not too happy, it's recovering Jinmeng's dignity, but at the same time, it's speeding up the process of their Northern Expedition." ”
Yelu Yangsen obviously did not expect the opposition of many officials in the court, but Tang Xi and Xie Jiahao insisted on carrying it out, and in the end, because Xie Jiahao was the sect leader of the Yin Demon Sect and the strongest person in Jinmeng, he was forced to carry out the plan.
Yelu Yangsen turned to look at Tang Xi and said, "Prime Minister ......"
Tang Xi shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, the minister is also pleased that this matter has been achieved, Jinmeng is in the struggle of the Wu Dynasty This is a rare calculative victory, but for the current Jinmeng, most of the things are mixed, this is not a complete victory for Jinmeng, we still have a lot of ways to go." ”
Yelu Yangsen was stunned, a smile of relief appeared on his slightly round face, and said, "The prime minister can think like this, it is my golden blessing." ”
Yelu Yangsen is a bald head, so that the facial features of his whole face look extraordinarily clear, the high bridge of the nose, and the thin lips, as well as the thin fat stacked on his face, and the vanity in his eyes, all symbolize his duplicity and inner cowardice.
Tang Xi knew that he was saying something against his will, but he didn't expose or express anything else, he was able to stand on his side against his will, which was already what he wanted to see, and there was no need for him to force this emperor to make a choice that really followed his heart.
A few years ago, after Emperor Shenwu's Zhongzhou gradually stabilized, when he showed his intention to go on a northern expedition, this emperor had the idea of compromising and handing over the Yelu royal family's "Yuqi Menopause", but it was opposed by Tang Xi and Xie Jiahao.
Yelu Yangsen picked up a cup of tea, took a sip and said, "That Nine Swords Sect Jia Yi is really the Prince of Dayin?"
Tang Xi didn't answer, just lowered his head and looked at the ground.
Yelu Yangsen glanced at him in confusion, felt the latter's coldness, a trace of compassion flashed in his eyes, and he didn't speak, and slowly put the teacup back on the desk.
"What does the prime minister seem to have on his mind?"
Tang Xi's brows twisted slowly, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Your Majesty, why did the palace start hoarding crystal leaves?"
Yelu Yangsen was stunned, and his eyes, which had nothing to do and looked at the calligraphy and painting in the room, turned to this middle-aged man with flowery sideburns in disbelief.
The suspicion quickly dissipated, replaced by a touch of self-deprecation and admiration, shook his head and sighed: "The prime minister is really the prime minister, and when he saw me transporting crystal leaves into the palace, he directly concluded that I was hoarding, not a change in demand in the palace." ”
Tang Xi raised his head expressionlessly, the respect in his eyes did not change, but at the same time, there was a touch of deep sadness.
In the face of the saint, there are some things that cannot be spoken, that is, the judgment of many things is combined with human nature, he is such a personality, and such things are decided by him, which is naturally the reason.
The cowardly emperor, the emperor who only cares about his own pleasure, in the face of the upcoming war, is not worried about how many casualties Jinmeng will pay, but only about the outbreak of war, and the food in the palace may not be enough.
Tang Xi's eyebrows and eyes were full of exhaustion, countless exhaustions.
Yelu Yangsen seemed to sense that something was wrong with him, smiled slightly bitterly, put his hands behind his back, and said softly: "Prime Minister, I like to have fun, and you know it, there are many things, I know that it is wrong, but I still have to do it, because human nature is like this, and I can't do anything to change it." ”
Tang Xi raised his head slightly and looked at him in surprise.
Yelu Yangsen took a breath and said, "How difficult it is for me to win Zhongzhou now, some of my measures make people feel that they are stupid, I don't care, but I never think that I am as unbearable as they describe in private, if I were a stupid person, I would not have killed you in a wave of boycott decades ago." ”
"If I were a fool, I would not approve of what you are doing now in the midst of opposition from the court. ”
"I'm not so useless, just like I know that the war is imminent, but I still go to the palace to prepare food, instead of helping the people, it's not that I don't understand those truths, it's not that I really don't care about the survival of Jinmeng, it's just that I don't have the selflessness and greatness of you, the prime minister. He let out a long sigh.
"The prime minister is reluctant to tell me whether the prince of Dayin is or is not the first of the Nine Swords Sect, and he is worried about whether I will defect one day, I can't imagine that in the eyes of my Jinmeng Shengxiang, I, the emperor of Anyi, is no longer able to defeat a declining prince of the former dynasty......"
Tang Xi's body straightened slightly, "Your Majesty ......"
"The prime minister doesn't need to say much, I know that I feel cold about many of my practices, but as I said, I'm not stupid, it's just that I'm not as great as you, and I can make a lot of really great decisions, I only know that you are right, I can only endure the pain and follow the prime minister's steps, if there is really a rebellion, I won't grit my teeth and stand here and choose to talk to the prime minister. His voice was very low, not at all like a king, and after saying this, he left the study.
Tang Xi looked at the figure of this emperor who didn't have much praise in the world in the snow, and some of the opinions in his heart that were like solid ice were melted quickly, and his heart was shocked.
PS: I can't do three chapters a week.,Embarrassing.,I'll do my best later.,There's more time to code words later.。 I suddenly found a strange thing, some chapters I felt badly written when I wrote them, but when I looked back, I found that they were not as bad as I felt when I wrote them, very strange, maybe there is still a difference between my self-feeling and the final expression result.
Yes, I would say that this chapter is poorly written.
