Lin Nan entered the hall with An Yang, An Yang took out a red concentric knot from under the pillow and handed it to Lin Nandao: "Your Majesty, do you look good?" Lin Nan took it and saw that there was a dragon and a phoenix embroidered on it, intertwined with each other, so he smiled and said, "This dragon and phoenix are the two of us, right?" An Yang lowered his head and said angrily: "Long live Lord makes fun of me." Lin Nan walked up and grabbed An Yang's hand and said, "Life and death covenant, next life alliance, sister has forgotten?" Seeing what he said affectionately, An Yang slowly snuggled into Lin Nan's arms and whispered: "The emperor has done so much for Yang'er, how Yang'er doesn't know." Lin Nan was full of joy, hugged her and walked to the bed while smiling: "Okay, my sister and I still have a lot to say......

The material resources of the world are limited, the people's hearts are endless, when it comes to the people and the king, rich all over the world, there will be a little bit of building a palace, and it will not damage the country. It's just that I don't know that this corrupt official embezzled in the middle, and finally folded some silver taels on the grass people, for the king's in the deep palace, I don't know that today's palace, tomorrow's palace, today's pavilion, tomorrow's barracks, there are palace pavilions, there are palace decorations, decorations in front of the palace, furnishings in the palace, during this period, in addition to the corrupt officials and corrupt officials to fill their own pockets, so in the end the people are bored, and the crowd rebels.

Although Lin Nan really wanted to be a faint king, he didn't want the country to really die in his hands after all, but the few decrees he promulgated, although they sounded cruel, actually didn't have much effect, and he naturally didn't know about them.

Within five months, a Xianren Palace in the vast area of Luoyang had been completed. In order to please Lin Nan, Huyanzan and Murong Lian opened five lakes in the southern half, each lake with a radius of ten miles, surrounded by exotic flowers and plants. Build several long causeways beside the lake, a pavilion on the embankment, a pavilion in 50 steps, plant peach blossoms on both sides, sandwich the willow leaves on the shore branches, build some dragon boats and phoenixes, rippling in the middle stream. Dig a North Sea in the north, around forty miles, build a canal to communicate with the five lakes. Three mountains are built in the sea: a Penglai, an abbot, a Yingzhou, like the three sacred mountains on the sea, the towers and palaces on the mountain, surrounded by the surrounding mirrors, the top of the mountain is a hundred zhang high, you can look back at Chang'an in Xijing, and you can look at the lake and sea in the south of the Yangtze River.

In the middle of the junction, the main hall is built, in the north of the sea, the commission is curved, a long canal is dug to lead the outside to the living water, it is tactful, the curve leads to the sea, the ditch is victorious, it builds a courtyard, and the area is along the 16 courtyards and 48 palaces, so that the beauty who stops flowing is worshiped and rested inside. The garden wall is all made of glazed tiles, purple grease mud wall, the three mountains are all made of long peak strange stones, stacked craggy, the pavilion is full of strange materials, gold and silver wrapping, such as splendid tailoring, pearls made, among which the peach becomes a strange, Li Liejing. Plum blossom ring house, hibiscus around the embankment, cranes in rows, golden pheasants against each other, golden apes roar together, green deer swim, just like the heaven and earth opened up and generated.

Lin Nan saw that the building was gorgeous, the palace was magnificent, the size was enough to compare with the Forbidden City, and the gorgeousness was even more than the Forbidden City, so he couldn't help but rejoice in his heart, and said to the two of them approvingly: "What the second secretary did is deeply in line with my intentions, very good, very good." At this time, the ten beauties of Chen Palace have arrived, plus Sa Rongrong, a total of twelve beauties in Anyang, Lin Nan led them to the garden.

Everyone looked at it one by one, and Lin Nan was full of joy and asked the two: "The forty-eight halls of the Sixteen Courtyards of the Five Lakes, have you ever been famous?" Hu Yanzan hurriedly said: "Weichen does not dare to take a name without authorization, and respectfully asks His Majesty to judge the Holy Judge." Lin Nan nodded and led the concubines to tour around again, and they were all named.

East Lake, because the surrounding is planted with green willows, and see the cuiwei of the two mountains, and the waves reflect each other, so it is named Cuiwei Lake. South Lake, because there are high-rise buildings sandwiching the shore, reflecting sunlight into the lake, so it is named Yingyang Lake. West Lake, because there is a hibiscus waterfront, plantain full of mountains, and there are egrets and green gulls, come and go from time to time, so it is called Jinguang Lake. Beihai, because there are many stone monsters, high and low, horizontal in the water, the breeze moves, refreshing people's hearts, so it is called the living water lake. The middle lake, because of the wide circumference, the moonlight shines into, like the water and the sky are connected, and it is named Guangming Lake.

The first courtyard, because the south is high and open, there is a scented wind flowing in from time to time, so it is named Jingming Temple. The second courtyard, because there is a zhulan bending, back pressure silk window, when the sun rises, a hundred flowers are charming, so it is called Yinghui Courtyard. The third courtyard, because there are several green trees, flowing yin all over the ground, the golden wind is at the beginning, and the leaves have sounds, so it is called the autumn sound courtyard. The fourth courtyard, because the bayberry of Xijing was moved in, bloomed like the morning glow, and entered the name Chenguang Temple. The fifth courtyard, because of the sour jujube county into the jade plum plant, the flowering is pure white, Lisheng Caixia, then named Mingxia Courtyard. The sixth courtyard, because there are several long pine trees, the group is like a cover, and the cover is full of courtyards, so it is called Cuihua Courtyard. The seventh courtyard, because of the water to build a stone wall, the wall moss marks, vertical and horizontal like a natural painting, then named Wen'an Yuan. The eighth courtyard, because of the peach and apricot as the Jinping, the flower Yin shop for the embroidered mattress, the flowing water to sing the qin, the new warbler to play the pipe, into the name of the Jizhen Temple. The ninth courtyard, because of the gravel masonry in the long canal, clusters of many fine ripples, the sunlight shines, shines into the curtain, and even the pillow has five-color marks, so it is called the shadow pattern courtyard. The tenth courtyard, because of the sparse bamboo surrounding, a Dan Pavilion protrudes in the middle, just like the phoenix, so it is named Yifeng Courtyard. The 11th courtyard is named Renchiin because the left side is a mountain and the right side is water, which means to enjoy mountains and water. The twelfth courtyard, because of the chaos of the stone stacking cut off the way out, only the small boat edge canal can enter, the peach blossom flowing water in the middle, not a day, so it was named Qing Xiu Temple. The thirteenth temple, because it has planted many trees, looks like a golden cloth, just like a temple, and is called Baolin Temple. The fourteenth courtyard, because there is a peach Gui Pavilion, spring can accept the wind, but also can play with the bright moon, so it is named Heming Courtyard. The fifteenth courtyard, because of the flowers and willows, condensed yin like Qi, then named Qiyin Temple. The sixteenth courtyard, because there are plum blossoms around the house, the floor is warm, enjoy the snow by the railing, do not know the cold, so it is called the Yang Courtyard. The remaining forty-eight halls each have a name, and then there is a long canal, such as a dragon, the pavilion of the building, the scale armor reflects each other, so it is called the dragon scale canal.

Lin Nan set a name, and the twelve beauties were naturally divided into a courtyard, and Sa Rongrong was the queen, so she was naturally divided into the first courtyard. All the beauties were happy and grateful, and Yuzhi suddenly smiled and said: "Long live Lord, the sixteenth courtyard is still vacant in three courtyards, and there are forty-eight palaces, are they all vacant?" Lin Nan saw her big eyes rolling, so he walked over and pulled her and said, "What do you think of childish children to make these palaces full?" Yuzhi pursed his lips and smiled: "Long live the world, Lord is rich in the world, tomorrow issue a holy decree, and select fifteen to twenty-year-old show girls from all over the world to send them to Luoyang, and ask the internal supervisor to divide the one, two, and third classes to show His Majesty, isn't it good for the beauty pageant to enter the palace?" Lin Nan nodded yes, pinched Yuzhi on his little face and said, "Xiao Nizi actually has some bad ideas, so I'll do it." Yuzhi stuck out his tongue and said: "Your Highness said that it was a bad idea, why didn't you punish the concubine?" Li Xiangjun laughed beside him: "Long live the Lord will punish him for sleeping with him tonight." The girls laughed, and Gong Yuemei said first: "Then how is it a punishment, I think it's a reward." Yuzhi ran over and grabbed her and said, "Long live, I'll reward Sister Yue." "Okay, Mei'er can't run tonight." Lin Nan accompanied the women to talk and laugh for a while, so uncomfortable and happy.

As soon as the will of the draft girl was issued, the small family wanted to make a career and sent the girl who could not look like his own family, and the large family also had a lot of beautiful women who voluntarily entered the palace, and where the woman was selected, it must be listed as the third class through the ******** Guixi, and there was a golden treasure gift to him, so he opened the newspaper in the upper class, and the gold and silver were less, and it was placed in the middle book, if there was nothing to see the benefit, even if it was a national color, it would also be in the third class.

In less than a month, the three volumes were full, Guixi presented the three volumes, Lin Nan looked at the next volume, there were more than 1,000 in total, and he was startled, and Sa Rongrong next to him said: "Long live, these women will each take a look, and it will take some time." Lin Nan nodded, glanced at Guixi and said, "First select the third-class into the garden." Guixi was taken aback and said: "The first and second class are all national colors, why didn't Your Majesty choose this kind of first." Lin Nan knew that he wanted to profit from it, and sneered: "I'll see that I want to wait third, call quickly." Guixi went tremblingly, and Lin Nan ordered Gao Dehong to bring five hundred royal forest troops with him, saving him from making ghosts.

Hundreds of show girls went to the hall in groups, Lin Nan, who only looked at it, was dazzled, only to see that they were all deceived by the peach and apricot, the appearance of the smiling swallow and the shy warbler, only the beauty of the ointment, the choice of a few lines of slender, claustrophobic, dignified bearing stayed, Lin Nan finished the selection, and snorted at Guixi: "There are so many beauties in the third class, I'm afraid that the first and second class are all national colors?" Guixi listened to what he said, and fell to his knees with a thud. Guixi is guilty, and I hope that His Majesty will not die! "Humph! Like you, how to avoid death! Lin Nan said while instructing Guixi to pull down and confiscate the family property, and then instructed the deputy chief manager Baoquan to choose the beauties from the three volumes.

With this lesson, Baoquan did not dare to seek personal gain, and chose a hundred beauties to go to the palace, Lin Nan and Sa Rongrong saw them one by one, and first set three beauties to enter the sixteen gardens, and the names of the three beauties were called: Zhu Guier, Yuan Baoer, Xue Zhier, this sixteen gardens are complete, Lin Nan gave each person a small jade seal, engraved with the name of the courtyard, as a future to send poems and essays, and then set fifteen people, respectively, into the forty-eight palaces, fifteen people named: Xie Chucao, Hua Shuxia, Jiang Tao, Di Xuanrui, Jiang Yuexian, Fan Juan, Jia Suzhen, Xia Luyao, Luo Xiaoyu, Qin Mei, Yang Yu, Zhou Hanxiang, Liang Yu, Sha Xue'e, Li Qing'er, and the rest of the palaces are temporarily vacant.

Here, Sa Rongrong also mentioned that each courtyard selected twenty dashing, willow and charming show girls as beauties, and taught them to learn to play songs and dances to prepare for the banquet. The rest were ten or twenty, or dragon boats, or phoenix dances, or towers, or pavilions, all of which were allocated one by one. Lin Nan agreed, the show girl thing is done, all the beauties have divided the palace, one by one wants the king to be favored, in the courtyard only lay the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, play the phoenix pipe Luansheng, I am afraid that Lin Nan will be lucky from time to time, this courtyard burns ambergris, and that courtyard smokes phoenix brains; The front courtyard sings Wu songs, and the latter courtyard turns over Chu dances; The first courtyard in the east is a golden delicacy and jade victory, and the first courtyard in the west is brewing immortal liquid elixir, and all kinds of arrangements are arranged to win Lin Nan's happiness at the moment.

The Great Sui is a big country, more monarchs change lords, foreign islands, remote places, all come to pay tribute to rare and exotic plays, famous horses, although Lin Nan has a beauty in his arms, but the **** of the chapter has been seen, only finished reading these tribute chapters, nodded and smiled: "I am the **** of the Great Sui, who dares to be disrespectful from all directions." At this time, Dongfang Wenjie, who sent the table, suddenly said: "Your Majesty, the countries of the Quartet go north to the Turks, west to Gaochang, and south to the chieftains of Xishan, all of whom pay tribute. ”

"Great. The son is so arrogant. Thinking of this, Lin Nan nodded and said, "Okay, I know about this, you can go down." "Yes." Dongfang Wenjie retreated, and Zhu Gui'er next to him suddenly said in a low voice: "The small country of Goryeo, the land of projectiles, dares to despise our dynasty, it is really hateful." Lin Nan nodded, thinking of three questions. First, Yu Wensu has a heavy army, and if he does not agree to conquer Goryeo, he will not be able to do it; Second, although Goryeo is small, the people are united, and there are three large rivers separated by it, and the territory is mountainous, so it is not easy to fight; Third, although the current Great Sui seems to be strong, the power of the gate valve has not been eradicated for the time being, and if the troops are rashly dispatched, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no fire in the backyard.

Thinking of these three things, Lin Nan's brows furrowed again.

Lin Nan thought of the headache, Zhu Gui'er next to him saw it, and said in a low voice: "Long live, you haven't been to my courtyard for a few days, I recently learned to make a few small snacks, I want to invite Long Live to come over and taste it, okay?" Lin Nan knew that she intended to comfort herself, so she took her hand and stood up and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll go and taste Gui'er's craftsmanship." ”

The two walked out hand in hand and walked to the vicinity of Cuiwei Lake, only to see four or five concubines laughing and playing in the wind pavilion. Lin Nan whispered to Zhu Gui'er: "Let's go, let's take a look." The two walked over quietly, only to hear Li Qing'er saying, "What is the reason for you to bully Xiaoyu girl?" Di Xuanrui ate and laughed beside her: "We have, it was the little jade girl who wanted to ask Wan Sui Ye to go tonight, but she couldn't say it, so I said it for her." Luo Xiaoyu lowered her head and said shyly: "Where do I have this thought." A few beauties on the pavilion made a fuss, and only Yuan Bao'er stood next to her and smiled innocently.

"Ahh Lin Nan laughed and pulled Zhu Gui'er up to the small pavilion, and several beauties saw it and hurriedly saluted: "Long live." Lin Nan nodded and asked, "Well, what are you doing?" Di Xuanrui pursed her lips and smiled: "Long live Lord Qiyu, we are watching a quatrain by Sister Xiaoyu." "Oh? Take it for me to see. After Lin Nan finished speaking, Di Xuanrui handed over the poem manuscript, and saw that the four lines on it were written in a neat fly-headed small block letter, which was very Peugeot. The willows are green and pitiful, a trace of cold smoke, why should the peach and plum describe the scenery, just wait for Mu Junyan to meet. After Lin Nan finished reading, he walked up to Luo Xiaoyu, and saw her bowing her head and her face shy to the side, so she whispered: "This poem seems to be resentful." ”

Luo Xiaoyu hurriedly bowed down and said, "The concubine doesn't dare." Lin Nan grabbed her, leaned on her ear and said, "Wait for me to pass at night." Luo Xiaoyu was ashamed and happy and whispered back: "Long live Xie." "Hmm." Lin Nan patted her. walked up to Bao'er, took her little hand and said, "Everyone is making a lot of trouble, why did you leave my lovely son alone?" Bao'er still smiled innocently and didn't answer, but Di Xuanrui smiled and said: "Long live Hugh to wronged the concubines, Bao'er is everyone's best girl, and she doesn't like to make trouble, so I forced her to join in." "I see." Lin Nan smiled, hugged Bao'er and said, "Let's get closer to them in the future." Bao'er saluted: "Yes." ”

Li Qing'er suddenly said: "Long live, you can't spare Bao'er, I recently heard that she has newly learned songs." We told her to sing, but she was shy. Zhu Gui'er smiled and said: "You only let Sister Bao sing alone, she is the youngest, naturally shy, in my opinion, it is better for the sisters and sisters here to sing a song, tune, just use Huanxi sand?" Luo Xiaoyu clapped her hands and said: "Call Long Live Lord to listen to the evaluation, a good reward bead, a bad one......" She didn't finish her words. Di Xuanrui picked up and said, "If it's not good, punish her for serving the Long Live Lord tonight." "Huh?" Luo Xiaoyu was dumbfounded, and Sha Xue'e next to her pulled Xiaoyu over and said with a smile: "Don't listen to that mother-in-law's bad idea." If that were the case, there would be no good singers. ”

Lin Nan listened to the beauties, and I laughed one by one, so he also followed up and said: "Okay, although the concubines sing, I will give each of you two jade beads." Li Qing'er immediately objected: "That's not possible, there must be a color head, otherwise everyone will not be interested in singing." Bao'er was still hiding in Lin Nan's arms and smiled innocently, Luo Xiaoyu suddenly said: "Otherwise, if you sing well, you will get beads, and the rest will be fined three glasses of wine." The beauties readily agreed, and Lin Nan nudged Bao'er and said, "You give me the finale." Bao'er said yes, walking among the women.

Li Qing'er looked at it and said, "Should it be the one who sang first?" Zhu Guier smiled: "This is not informal, let's sing it first." As soon as the words came out, Di Xuanrui tapped the sandalwood board, smacked the throat of the warbler, and sang: Yang Liuqing Qingqing is pitiful. A trace of cold smoke. Why should the peach and plum describe the scenery and draw the east wind in February. After Di Xuanrui finished singing, everyone laughed and said: "Sister Di family, although she sings exquisitely. But I learned Xiaoyu's words, only slightly changed, how can it be done? Lin Nan listened to her singing in a delicate voice, clapped his hands and said: "Everyone just follows this word, it can be regarded as pleasing Xiaoyu's face." Everyone said yes, Luo Xiaoyu smiled and said: "Sister Di is really singing Yangchun Baixue, how can we speak?" Di Xuanrui smiled: "Sister Xiaoyu, don't laugh at me, I will be fined three cups." Before he finished speaking, I saw Li Qing'er also open her lips, turn her teeth, and sing in a delicate voice: The willows are green and green, and a few branches are long and a few are low. I don't know how much spring lingers, which makes Gong Ying cry. After Li Qing'er finished singing, everyone praised it for a while, and Zhu Guier swallowed and spit slowly, and sang up: There are a few branches of willow and green green, and the branches are all here to send acacia. There is lovesickness in the palace, and the spring breeze sings the word.

After Gui'er finished singing, Lin Nan immediately said: "Gui'er still sings with some charm." Gui'er bowed his head and said shyly: "Long live the award, Gui'er is here, what is the charm." Then he pointed his finger at Luo Xiaoyu and Bao'er and said, "Long live the Lord and listen to his two little sisters sing, you will see the fun." Luo Xiaoyu smiled, pointed at Gui'er and said, "Sister Gui has to be good if she gets cheap, it's really annoying." At this time, Sha Xue'e gently adjusted her throat, and sang like a pipe: The willows are green and spring, and the spring is like a small waist. There is no sorrow and hatred in the Manyan Palace, and I think of the spring breeze and killing.

After Sha Xue'e finished singing, Luo Xiaoyu praised in front of everyone: "It turns out that it is wonderful here." Zhu Guier also nodded and said: "The romance is contained, and there is emotion, this song is good." Sha Xue'e said in a low voice: "Don't be ashamed, and listen to Sister Xiaoyu's good news." Luo Xiaoyu hurriedly waved his hand and said, "I never know how to sing." The women smiled and said, "Everyone is singing nonsense, but you are a good singer, so you have to be humble." Luo Xiaoyu smiled in a low voice, and sang unhurriedly: "The willows are green and blue, and the beauty is longing for a long time." The peach pear blooms like a smoke dream, and the gods chase in the peony bush. The girls applauded for a while, and Zhu Guier said first: "Love and return, isn't it sung to the Lord Long Live?" Luo Xiaoyu didn't say no, and pointed to Bao'er and said, "It's time for our horn to appear." All the women went to Bao'er, Bao'er seemed to be a family, holding red teeth in her hand, slowly calming her voice, only then did she spit out the tune of the clouds, the sound of the beam, and sang gracefully: Yang Liu Qingqing pressed the forbidden door, turning the wind and the moon to see the scenery. Mo Kua himself is in a spring mood, half royal rain and dew. ”

After Bao'er finished singing, Lin Nan shouted and said, "It's better for Bao'er to sing." And all the women praised it. Zhu Guier said: "If you talk about singing, you can talk about tactfulness. The rhythm is not bad, the words are correct, and everyone is similar; If you talk about the meaning of the words, but Yuan Bao'er does not forget the gentleman, there is great affection, we are not as good as her, this bead should be given to her. Bao'er also smiled at this time: "The sisters have to make fun of it, so as not to be punished, what pearl do you dare to want?" Shame on you, shame on you. Luo Xiaoyu said again: "Sure enough, Sister Yuan sings beautifully." We all deserve to be punished. Li Qing'er suddenly laughed and said: "Turning over the wind and the moon wants the scenery, I think I think I miss the demeanor of the Long Live Lord last night, right?" The women entangled Li Qing'er's fists frequently, but Dudu Bao'er stood aside to watch everyone "avenge" her.

Lin Nan coughed, and the girls stood up laughing, and Lin Nan took Bao'er and said: "Today's gambling song is that this little girl won, but everyone doesn't have to punish the wine, I have a reward." The ladies bowed and said, "Thank you." At this time, an inner supervisor ran over and said, "Your Majesty, General Qin asks to see you." "Oh? Tell him to come to the south study. The inner eunuch agreed, and Lin Nan hadn't seen Qin Yi for a while, knowing that something must be wrong when he came to see him. said goodbye to the girls and went south to the study.

Qin Yi was waiting in the house, and when he heard the news from the eunuch, he immediately got up and bowed: "Minister Qin Yi see Your Majesty." Lin Nan smiled, helped him up and said, "Uncle Bao doesn't need to be polite, what is the important thing to come to see me this time?" Qin Yi nodded, glanced around, and Lin Nan immediately ordered the palace maids and eunuchs to go down and close the door tightly. Uncle Bao said this time. Lin Nan saw that his face was solemn, and he vaguely felt that something was wrong.

Qin Yi took out a letter from his arms. Handed it to Lin Nan, Lin Nan opened it and saw that it was written some weapons and armor, as well as the number of horses and military rations, and the number of military expenses.

"Where did this thing come from?" Lin Nan was shocked. Qin Yi replied in a low voice: "When the minister was drinking at Fan Bo's house, and when he came back at night, he saw this person sneakily coming out of Su Tinglin's house, the secretary of the ministry, and ran away without saying a word, so I took him and searched this letter from my arms. ”

Lin Nan became more and more surprised, and hurriedly asked, "Where is that person now?" Qin Yi lowered his body and said, "Now in the minister's house." Lin Nan patted him and said, "This matter must not be revealed, this person must be watched." I will disguise myself and go out of the palace tomorrow to your house for detailed interrogation. Qin Yi nodded and said, "Yes, the minister went back first." "Okay." Lin Nan personally sent Qin Yi out of the door, and immediately returned to the study to pick up the letter and read it again.

"Looking at the content of this letter, Su Tingyun is supporting what kind of rebellion, the protégés of the Su family are all over the government and the opposition, and even Yu Wensu and Su Tingyun's father have a deep friendship. It's a big gatekeeper, and if it's not handled properly, I'm going to suffer. Lin Nan gasped, only to realize that the emperor was not so easy to be.

"If you want to get rid of the Su family, you must first get rid of the party of Yuwensu. However, these two gates are too deep-rooted, and if they are forced to rebel, I am afraid it will not be so easy to deal with. Lin Nan picked out all the problems and sorted them out, but he didn't come up with a very practical and effective way, so he simply didn't think about it, and just waited for the people in the Qin Yi Mansion to make a decision tomorrow. (To be continued.) )
