The ethereal and light whistle continued, and a large group of Yulin guards with white feathers in their hats rushed towards the mountainside above the house. The leading young man carried a pipe with an arm-thick thunder gun and hurriedly greeted his subordinates.

On the mountainside, there were several fields of ice and snow peony flowers, surrounded by a circle of small trees, but just now a thick fog suddenly appeared. Thousands of petals were faintly seen in the fog like blood-stained snowflakes, even if you couldn't sense the power from a distance, just looking at the scene felt weird and inexplicable.

At this time, the empress had already returned to the palace, but there were still important people to stay in the flower field, and the young man was ordered by the governor of Tosaka to stay for his dispatch. Governor Tosaka didn't mention the guards, but the young man didn't dare to sit idly by.

However, as soon as he led the team to rush out of the grove, he stopped, and by this time the thick fog had lifted, and a man and a woman walked out side by side.

The man is an acquaintance, but the woman......

"High ...... Waiting!"

Yu Linwei experienced Si Baihu Liu Chengwang and shouted in surprise, "Why are you here?"

Gao De twitched the corner of his mouth angrily, can you also put your eyes on me when you greet me?

Liu Baihu's eyes naturally stuck to the girl in white who was like a fairy, and the next sentence was completely inappropriate for Gao De's presence, "Is it Senior Li? I have admired my predecessors for a long time when I was practicing in the Holy Mountain, but unfortunately I didn't have the opportunity to see the true face of my predecessors." Oh, the junior is Liu Chengwang, who worked as an errand in Yulinwei......"

The corners of Gao De's mouth suddenly fell, you kid actually coveted my Xiaoli in front of me, wipe the saliva away before talking!

The face is unhappy, but the heart is happy. He is not a saint, Liu Chengwang coveted it so much, "My girlfriend is a fairy" This sense of accomplishment is naturally filled with his heart, and the whole person is about to float.

Gao De was about to reach out to shake Xiaoli's hand, to harvest and realize this sense of achievement, but Xiaoli was a step faster and took the initiative to reach out and hold him.

"Liu Chengwang...... Xiao Lizhen put on the shelf of her predecessors and said indifferently: "I heard Mo Li say that there are rare good seedlings in the new generation of the Holy Mountain." Do your best to be an errand and help Mo Li. ”

Without waiting for Liu Chengwang to respond, she turned to Gao De and said, "I'm going to go home first today, and by the way, I'll go to your place for lunch, you have to get some good dishes." ”

Although Xiaoli's hands are thin and thin, they still have meat, and they are soft and smooth to hold, and the words are like irons that make Gao De's heart spread out without a trace of wrinkles.

Glancing at Liu Chengwang, the guy's eyes were round and his mouth was wide open, and his whole face was the same as the surprised expression made by Xiaogua, Gao De smiled: "How many am I good at?" Three catties of cattle, sheep and pork? Charcoal grilled braised sweet and sour optional, you have to feed you fatter. ”

"I'm not going to be able to fly if I'm fat?" Xiaoli gave Gao De a white look? The slight force on his hand made him dare not continue.

"Senior...... And the high waiter? Let's go. Liu Chengwang bowed his hand and sent it off with the Yulin guards.

Looking at the man and woman going down the mountain hand in hand? Yu Linwei and Liu Chengwang did not look away for a long time. Until the two of them are covered by the mountains and forests? Only then did they exhale a long breath, some rubbing their faces and some rubbing their arms, looking uncomfortable with goosebumps falling all over the ground.

"Gaude guy ......"

Liu Chengwang's expression was richer, except that he was touched by the strong sweetness? There is also a lot of unwillingness. "Actually hooked up with Li's seniors? Isn't it rumored that he and Mr. Tosaka are a couple?"

"Senior Li rarely shows up, and he should have only contacted this guy through Chief Tosaka before, so everyone misunderstood. ”

"Why did this kid Gao De hook up with Senior Li, I really can't figure it out, this kid is just born well. ”

"To be honest, I also thought that Gao De and Mr. Tosaka were not compatible before? The boss has only one heart on the empress, how can he still associate with men?"

"The ice and snow peony of the holy mountain has finally been picked? Alas......"

The subordinates were talking nonsense, and Liu Chengwang smiled bitterly and wiped his face? At the same time, smooth out the ups and downs in your heart.

"Listen to what you're all talking about?" he scolded his subordinates: "Where is the high servant who is just a good skin? How can Senior Li be a superficial person who only looks at the skin? You, you still have you, wasn't he there when he came to Yulinwei's treasury to get his things that day? Now he has been entrusted with a heavy task by the empress? Don't underestimate him!"

"Is it really extraordinary?" The subordinates smiled weirdly: "Otherwise, how can I serve in the middle." ”

Spit out, Liu Chengwang said again: "Don't say anything strange about the flowers of the Holy Mountain being picked, Senior Li is indeed the ice and snow peony of the Holy Mountain, but there are still splendid peonies in the Holy Mountain." In contrast, the splendid peony is more valuable, and it is the empress we are willing to offer our lifelong loyalty. ”

The subordinates echoed in droves......

"That's right, the flower of the Great Ming of the Holy Mountain is still there. ”

"Her Majesty the Empress has said that she will never marry in this life!"

"The high servant is sweet and sweet with Senior Li, the empress has left us with allegiance!"

In the back seat of the luxury car, Xiaoli sat far away from Gaode, with a dignified posture with her chest and legs.

"It's too much," she said coldly, "since it's just a name, it's enough just now." With the mouths of Liu Chengwang and his subordinates, we will spread our affairs all over the Endless Palace this afternoon, and then spread the news from the Endless Palace throughout the entire southern city in the evening. ”

Gao De should not be repeated, don't look at Xiaoli's thin and skinny meat, but the strength of her hands is terrifying, just like a vice.

"Just send me to the south of the North City, I still have something to do. ”

Then Xiaoli ordered, which surprised Gao De, didn't he say that he would want him to get a good dish when he went back to eat?

"I've changed my mind," Xiaoli said in an indifferent tone, turning back into a fairy who doesn't eat fireworks in the world.

Gao De secretly smiled bitterly, just now he was just cooperating with himself to act. Fortunately, he doesn't have unrealistic expectations, and it's very good to start with "give a name", which is much better than "let's be brothers and sisters".

Xiaoli got off the bus in the south of the north city, found a place where no one was around, and teleported to the hot spring bath hall behind the waterfall in the ancestral mountain. Changed into the dress that Ai Tosaka had always prepared properly, and went back to the small courtyard north of the Qianming Palace.

"Huh?"

Ai Tosaka was playing chess with Shangguan Qing in the house, and when she saw the empress coming back, she was very surprised: "Didn't you say that Li was going to stay with him until the night, why did she come back so early?

"It's almost messed up," the empress said about the Hundred Flowers Fairy, "but fortunately, that guy just wanted to demonstrate, and didn't dare to dwell on it too much, so it's not really bad." And he's not a powerless scholar, and he hasn't met those particularly difficult guys among the reconcilers, so it's okay to protect himself. ”

"But that's not the problem," the Empress frowned lightly and sighed faintly, "Li's sacrifice hue is half pushed, forcing him to reluctantly comply." ”

"How come?" Tosaka was unconvinced, "Does this still need to be forced? Yili's posture, changed to another man, he only needs a look to hook up and kneel and lick, he is still reluctant?"

She suddenly became nervous, "Could it be that guy is really ...... Father-in-law, I didn't say that there is no one below, which of the three conditions will he be?"

"If you think about it, he's actually quite normal, it's just that Lily is not normal. The empress stroked her forehead, "What he really wants is to marry a woman who can have children and accompany him in his old age, not to spend a good night with a beautiful fairy, he is disgusting me." ”

"There's some truth to that," Tosaka sighed, "and that's what he meant when I asked him if he had a crush. ”

With the echo of her friends, the empress's tone became more and more complaining, "It's just like this, he still dislikes me for being too thin!"

Tosaka Ai looked at the height of the empress who only rose slightly, and then looked at herself, secretly relieved, but comforted: "This is his problem, men are so greedy, they want to have a slender waist and a bewitching body, how can there be such a perfect thing in the world?

Speaking of this, he handed the Empress a cup of straw drink, "Don't be angry, drink tea, and relieve your sleep." ”

The empress took it, and saw Shangguan Qing holding the tea and looking at the chessboard in a daze, and asked casually: "I don't remember that Xiao Ai still has the chess power that can make you fall for a long time, are you regressing?"

"The slave was distracted while playing chess, and she accidentally went wrong for a while. Shangguan Qing is still immersed in chess.

"Go back to that step and I'll take a look," the empress became interested, she was so angry with Gao De that she was too thin in front of Liu Chengwang.

"Okay, Your Majesty, wait," Shangguan Qing was so focused that he didn't care about turning sideways, and directly stuffed the teacup on his body, arranging the chess pieces with both hands.

“......“

“......”

Watching the teacup sink deep into the bosom of the female bingbi, the empress and Ai Tosaka were silent at the same time.

The next day, the apse of the Qianming Palace, the honor guard of Yulin Wei brocade clothes was opened, and the important ministers of the court and the officials of various ministries rushed in, and the mountain shouted long live, bowing and saluting.

The empress sat behind a desk with a raised floor, dressed in a dragon and phoenix robe, wearing a flying phoenix crown, and waved her hand quite casually: "Zhu Qing is flat, if there is something to do, don't talk nonsense." ”

This tone and posture made the hall full of people above the third grade quite comfortable, this is the scene of the government has been stabilized and the empress is strategizing. They can finally jump out of the whirlpool of court disputes a little and begin to focus on the veins of government and politics that they lead.

"The Ministers Have a ......"

Zhu Yingneng, the governor of the Metropolitan Office of the Fifth Army, first talked about military issues, "It has been nearly two months since the Songzhou rebellion, and the 800,000 soldiers and horses mobilized from the army's eight guards and the four air forces have not yet been assembled. ”

"The Metropolitan Governor's words are wrong," the scholar Zhang Huaiyuan objected, "Yang Jingluo is well versed in the local people's conditions, and since he believes that he does not have to wait for the imperial army to be assembled, he will have a chance of winning, so he will act according to his regulations." If it wins, the imperial court will be able to save at least billions of military spending. If it is frustrated, it is not too late to wait for the army to advance and suppress it. ”

"What if it is defeated?" said Governor Zhu, "The rebels will not only seize the imperial armament, but their momentum will also soar, and at that time, I am afraid that it will not be possible to solve the problem with 800,000 soldiers and horses and billions of military spending." ”

"It's just a civil disorder," Zhang Huaiyuan said: "No matter how chaotic it is, it won't go anywhere." ”

The two of them are the core of the two factions in the court about the Songzhou Rebellion, and when they fight, the others have nothing to say. The Empress also seemed to be a little undecided, and did not make a decision on the spot.

Then another scholar, Zheng Chong, was in charge of the household department, and the opening was a financial issue, which made it clear why the empress was hesitant. This year, the customs tax of the Ministry of Household has fluctuated very violently, and the posture of the maritime forces mainly in Hong Kong has changed greatly, and some commercial banks have delayed or even evaded taxes by means of bankruptcy or the disappearance of the principal, and if there are no strong means to reverse the situation, it is expected that the commercial tax will be reduced by two-thirds in the spring of next year.

Among the officials who participated in the court meeting, a tall man stood closest to the temple gate. Wearing the official uniform of a peacock with a blue background, although he tried his best to lower his height, the long wings of the head were still taller than the others, which was literally standing out from the crowd.

This excessively young official who was wearing a three-grade civil official robe was Gao De.

It was very different from what he expected, the court meeting had been held for half an hour, and it was extremely serious, and there was no situation where he imagined that everyone was looking up and down around him and discussing one after another. On the contrary, no one paid attention to him at all, he was completely transparent.

Listening to Scholar Wang talk about the issue of customs and commercial tax, Gao De finally had a familiar feeling. As Ai Tosaka said, the struggle for the power of the demons has long been deeply involved in the political struggle of the court. Isn't it he who started this problem now?

After killing the Darkhand Blood Tower, the Blood Tower will split, and the Sea Tower will be embarrassed to infiltrate the four cities of Zhongjing to control the original industry of the Darkhand Blood Tower, but he will ...... Of course, the dominant one is still the empress, who directly repels it with the power of the imperial court, and now this is the Haita will fight back.

The empress is naturally aware of the movements of the Sea Tower Society, and compared with the tax resistance of the Sea Tower Society, the Northeast Songzhou Rebellion is indeed a trivial matter.

"Your Majesty has already arranged for this matter," the university scholar Lu Shixing stood up, "adding a military department to serve in the army, and the admiral falling into the sea of stars to intercept smuggling is the countermeasure." Nominally, it is to inspect the forbidden goods of the imperial court, but in fact, it is to inspect the smuggling and tax evasion of sea vessels. ”

"Have you heard a little about this?" Zheng Chong is a squint-eyed fat man, he is particularly treacherous at first glance, and his tone of voice sounds very uncomfortable, and he always seems to be yin and yang, "Your Majesty seems to have chosen a close minister to supervise this matter, I am afraid it will be difficult to lead all parties, so that the affairs of the upper and lower people can go smoothly." ”

This Zheng Fat Man, what do you say about the minister, the pronunciation is so vague that it seems to be saying "Xingchen", such an insult must be recorded in a small book!

Gao De was muttering secretly, and the empress suddenly raised her voice: "Is Gao De there?"

At this time, several lines of sight finally fell on the tall young man at the entrance of the hall, and the expressions of the high-ranking officials and bigwigs were full of expectation. As for what to expect to see, it varies from person to person.

"Weichen Gaode, here!"

Gao De came out of the ranks, he didn't take the imperial examination, he didn't know how to speak, so he simply went straight.

"Scholar Zheng said that it is difficult for you to lead all parties to handle this matter, and I see that other people have such questions," the empress actually gave him a decoy missile, "How do you respond?"

Is this your attitude towards being a boss?

Gao De suddenly complained, did he want him to fight the ministers?
