Chapter 060: Swagger and Deception

Qiyun entered the study and saw Zong Ai, the little eunuch waiting beside Tuoba Tao, who was spinning in circles in the study with a sad face. Qiyun looked dizzy, stopped him, and greeted warmly: "Grandpa Zong, what's wrong with you?" What's going on? ”

Zong Ai handed the book in his hand to Qiyun to read, and said with a sad face: "Early this morning, the study on duty came to me to report at night. Last night, there was a lot of rats in the study, and I bit a lot of His Highness's books. All the big and small things in the palace are under my control, and even if those who are on duty at night are punished, I, the chief steward, will not escape from it. His Royal Highness eats and wears casually, and is tolerant of others, but these books are very precious. Yunqing, what do you say? ”

Qiyun saw that those books were damaged, which was really a pity, and looked at Zong Ai's frightened face, and was a little pitiful. She thought of an idea and whispered to Zong Ai. Zong Ai listened to it and said yes in a loud voice, Zong Ai waited by Tuoba Tao's side one day, looking depressed and uneasy. Tuoba Tao saw it and asked him, "Zong Ai, what's wrong with you today?" ”

Zong Ai stepped forward and confessed: "Today, when I was packing up His Highness's clothes, I saw that the clothes in the cupboard were bitten by rats at some point, and His Highness's clothes in the cupboard were bitten by those damn rats a lot. So, the minions were terrified. ”

Tuoba Tao listened and said with a smile: "Look at your little bit of talent, isn't it just a few clothes that are torn, as for being afraid of being like that?" Rats come out at night, and you can't prevent it, so you can ask someone to fill in those holes. ”

"Your Royal Highness is kind, and the servant Ming'er will ask people to fill the holes in His Highness's bedroom and study." Zong Ai listened to Tuoba Tao and did not punish him, and hurriedly answered happily.

When Tuoba Tao heard this, he understood and looked up and asked him, "Huh?" Also have a problem in the study? ”

Zong Ai sneered: "The books in the study have destroyed a few books. However, it doesn't matter, Gongzi Yunqing said that he would start copying it for His Highness. This Yunqing is a person who is diligent and loves to read, except for His Royal Highness, the slave has never seen anyone so bookish. ”

"Oh, really?" Tuoba Tao heard Zong Ai comment on Yunqing like this, and he was a little curious.

As he was talking, the guards at the gate of the palace came to report that the old bustard of Yuchun Lou came to the palace to ask for silver, saying that the king of Taiping went to visit the largest green building in Pingcheng, and left Mobao, saying that he could go to the palace of Taiping to receive silver.

As he spoke, the guard handed Tuoba Tao a piece of paper, which was framed and sprinkled with gold dust, exuding a fragrance, and it was written: "Yu Qianqian, the song is the Divine Comedy, and the dance is the Heavenly Dance." Wang Xin Dayue, a thousand taels of silver on credit, received it the next day. King Taiping. ”

Tuoba Tao was surprised in his heart and looked through the one in his hand. He secretly thought that someone dared to impersonate the name of this king, and even wrote exactly the same words as this king.

He got up, followed by Zong Ai, Qiyun and others. When I came to the gate of the palace, I saw that the old bustard of Yuchun Building was waiting there with a few people.

As soon as he saw Tuoba Tao appear, the old bustard hurriedly twisted the waist of the water snake and waved a handpa to salute, "King Taiping is good, King Taiping is blessed with Jin'an." The slave family is polite. Last night, His Royal Highness King Taiping came to Yuchun Tower, which was a great blessing for our building. I don't know if Qianqian will serve the prince comfortably? Your Highness, do you want to ask Qianqian to come to the door to serve? ”

Hearing this, Tuoba Tao felt slightly angry in his heart, but his face was silent, and he waved the paper in his hand, "This king has never visited any green buildings. The door of your Yuchun Building is open to the north, and this king knows nothing about the road, and as for the others in the building, this king doesn't know anything. Someone must have taken the name of this king, went to visit your building, took advantage of you, and had nothing to do with this king. This IOU was accepted by the king. As for the silver, there is not a tael of silver. ”

The old bustard and the others were dumbfounded, almost unable to believe their ears. Last night, King Taiping came to the Spring Mansion to cheer, not only did not receive a penny, but also entertained with good wine and food. smiled for King Botai Ping, Yu Qianqian, the top girl in the building, sang and performed, sweating, and did her best to accompany her for half the night.

The IOU left by King Taiping spared no effort to burn the local incense, wanting to be used as a signboard to defeat his peers. Yuchun Lou wants to climb up to Taiping Palace, and from then on it is good to enjoy the shade under the big tree. Unexpectedly, I was tricked and came with hope, but it was all in vain.

Tuoba Tao saw that the old bustard in Yuchun Building didn't seem to give up, and wanted to open his mouth to be verbose, but a chill appeared in his eyes, and he shouted coldly: "If anyone else dares to talk nonsense here, pull out the cane and kill him!" ”

The guards at the gate of the mansion listened to the order, and immediately stepped forward and blasted the old bustard with a sad face.

Tuobatao's personal bodyguard Dou Daitian stepped forward and announced: "In the past half month, I have taken over several similar things. There is a bold thief pretending to be King Taiping, and he is paying credit in a restaurant, or stirring up trouble at the wedding banquet of the newlyweds, etc. That person looks exactly like King Taiping, and it is said that he also holds the gold medal of King Taiping, and he is swaggering and deceiving everywhere, which is very detrimental to His Highness's reputation. The lowly post is investigating this matter, and will report it to His Highness when it is implemented. Unexpectedly, that person became more and more bold, and he had already disturbed His Highness. I deserve to die for my humble duties, please punish Your Highness. ”

When everyone heard this, they were all a little surprised, and secretly thought that this person was bold.

Tuoba Tao inadvertently glanced at Qiyun beside him, and saw that her expression was solemn, but her eyes overflowed with schadenfreude, unable to hide her smart and cunning light.

His heart moved, and he asked her: "Yunqing, are you still used to these days when you came to the palace?" ”

Qiyun stepped forward to salute, and replied respectfully almost in fear: "Your Highness, Yunqing has come to the palace, thanks to the father-in-law of the sect and the bean guards to take care of it. Yun Qing is very used to it, and he can't get used to it anymore. ”

"What are you busy with in your study?" Tuoba Tao asked in a harmonious voice.

Qiyun knew that Dao Tuoba Tao was questioning himself with suspicion, and replied quietly: "I was in the study and read all the books of His Highness. I was very busy every day, so I didn't serve in front of His Highness, and I hope that His Highness will forgive my sins. ”

Hearing her say this, Tuoba Tao became more interested, "Oh? You've read most of the books in Ben King's study? This king also asks you, what do you think of the book "Lü's Spring and Autumn"? ”

This topic was difficult for Qiyun, she came to it casually, and said: "The core idea of "Lu's Spring and Autumn" is that the world is the world of the world, not the world of one person. "Lü's Spring and Autumn" is a representative of the pre-Qin miscellaneous family, which is magnificent and magnificent. Legend has it that Lü Buwei, the prime minister of the Qin State, gathered his protégés, collected hundreds of opinions, and became a miscellaneous family. After the protégé finished compiling, he stood at the gate of the city, saying that it was a reward for changing the word. ”

"Is it really perfect, and not a word can be changed?" Tuoba Tao asked her rhetorically.

Qiyun replied: "Actually, at that time, I couldn't read and write, and I couldn't read what was written on it. The few people who can read and understand also want to cling to him, and they will not offend Prime Minister Lu Cheng. In this way, the daughter has not moved, and not a word has changed. Therefore, "Lü's Spring and Autumn" is not as perfect as Lü Buwei thinks, of course, his ideas are still very good. ”

Tuoba Tao nodded, "Well, with some knowledge, it's not in vain that you study behind closed doors all day in the study." In the future, this king will call you at any time when he has something. Qiyun bowed and agreed.
