Qiyun took it, and saw that it was densely written that it was to rest with the people, and to give mercy to the poor; select talents and strict officials; wide legal net, light punishment; Public rewards and punishments, cautious punishment and other policy strategies.

Qiyun praised: "Your Majesty, these points of yours are too good. Since the end of the Western Jin Dynasty, various ethnic groups in the north have competed for power, ups and downs, and more than a dozen countries have fallen, and it has to be said that there are many lessons of failure. The strength of the military is only temporary, and only by formulating a reasonable system can it be strong for a long time. The emperor promulgated these policies and strictly implemented them. In time, the Great Wei will inevitably prosper. ”

Tuoba Tao smiled and said to her, "For so many days, I haven't had a chance to say thank you." Zhilu Dao Rouran cavalry went south, you came to relieve the siege for me, how can I thank you? ”

"Actually, when the Mo Palace Lord taught me the Lang Ming Tian Dance, I had an agreement with the Mo Palace Master. As long as Xia Guo is not dead, the agreement between me and him will not be completed, and I will be at his disposal. I followed him to the northern frontier. ”

"Qiyun, don't you have your own ideas?"

Qiyun held the teacup in her hand, the heat was thick, and her face was hidden in the mist, hazy and quiet. She replied softly: "As for my thoughts, I just don't want Rouran to occupy the Central Plains and poison the living beings. ”

After the establishment of the Qi tribe in that year, after Zhao, Shile Shihu's father and son were extremely brutal and murderous. Every time they conquered a city, they slaughtered all the men and women in it. Thousands of miles of wolf smoke, there are no two out of ten. Later, Ran Min took revenge on the Hu people and issued a 'kill order'. In the north, the smoke of gunfire has risen again, and all those with high noses and beards have been indiscriminately killed. The Han people and the Hu people did not fight for a month, and the corpses were everywhere. The Rouran cavalry was brutal and savage, and they were only afraid that they were even worse than the Qiang tribe.

Tuoba Tao held her hand and said emotionally: "Since Emperor Daowu, my Great Wei has been established for three generations, and the Central Plains has finally been calmed down. I will reign for one day, and I will never kill innocents indiscriminately. Yun'er, I want you to come back and help me. ”

Qiyun wanted to withdraw his hand, but he clenched it tightly. She said indifferently: "Great Wei Wenchen's strategists are like clouds, there is no more than me, and there is no less than me." ”

"The emperor is in such a good mood today, it's rare to have time to come, why do you want to rob me to go to the Shadow Palace?" A playful and lazy voice rang out.

Tuoba Tao was distracted, Qiyun took the opportunity to withdraw his hand, and said with a smile without leaving a trace: "It turned out to be the palace master, and you are also so interested." I don't usually see your figure, but this time the emperor comes up, and you appear. Did you smell the emperor? ”

Tuoba Tao smiled at Mo Chuan and said, "Now, this is the property of your Chaoying Palace. Piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, hops, tea, these elegant things, you have no shortage of Mingyuexuan. It's really my envy. ”

"Actually, the most envious of this palace is Liu Yizhen." Mo Chuan sat down opposite Tuoba Tao and said to Qiyun: "Only in front of Liu Yizhen, you will not be defended. Zhuohua, am I right? ”

Qiyun nodded: "If it's not in front of Yizhen, I won't defend it." It is because the world has too many desires, and only Yizhen takes the qin, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, hops tea seriously. Sometimes we sit facing the lake, and we don't have to say a word for a long time, but we know what the other person is thinking. Although there are few things to focus on, everything is actually in the heart.

As for the two of you, even if you are facing the wind and snow, the qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, what you are thinking about is Wang Tu and the hegemony. I guess as soon as I'm gone, one of you will ask, 'Your Majesty, when are we going to attack the Xia Kingdom?' One of them replied, 'When you give me conclusive information to the Shadow Palace, you will send troops to conquer.' 'Am I right?' ”

Tuoba Tao and Mo Chuan both laughed when he said this, and Mo Chuan asked her, "So, Zhuohua, which kind of life do you like the most?" ”

"I entered the world with the heart of birth and moved with my heart. Just like right now, I just want to make you two a good pot of tea so you can have a good conversation, and that's what I want to do. ”

Qiyun left his seat and turned around, and sure enough, he heard Mo Chuan ask Tuoba Tao: "Your Majesty, when will we send troops to the Xia Kingdom?" ”

On the third day of September, Qiyun's birthday, everyone in Xuanzhuang closed the door to celebrate her birthday. There have been no happy events in Xuanzhuang for a long time, and Hauni, Yinxue and others have to celebrate lively.

The moon is in the treetops, and Qiyun sits on the roof against the moon. In the courtyard, Yoshishin sat at the stone table. The breeze blows, the lotus lanterns of the blue canal drift with the wind, and the shallow water waves ripple layer by layer. The water ripples reflect the light shadows, like a dream.

The two raised their glasses and drank each other, talked and laughed, and talked about things when they were children.

Qiyun sighed: "Yizhen, I am fortunate to grow up with you in this life. Yilong is also very good to me, but in his heart, the throne is the most important. He was lonely since he was a child, he was bullied by Yifu, and your father didn't want to see him, he always held his breath. He didn't enjoy the warmth and happiness of home, and now he is full of harem, with many concubines and children around his knees, which must be able to make up for the shortcomings of his youth. ”

Yoshima took a shallow sip of sake and said, "It's hard to say." The palace is the world's No. 1 Vanity Fair, and the concubines are jealous and deceitful. If you want to enjoy the warmth and happiness of home there, you will undoubtedly seek fish from Yuanmu. It's better for us to drink wine, enjoy flowers and tea like this, and be happy and peaceful. Yun'er, today is your birthday, and I give you a gift. With that, he threw something on the table at Qiyun.

Qiyun threw out the long silk and rolled it, took it and opened it, and it turned out to be a painting. In the painting, a lotus leaf field, a flat boat, a purple-shirted beauty sits on the bow of the boat, holding a delicate lotus flower, jade posture, people are more delicate than flowers.

Yizhen smiled: "On that day, you and Yinxue came back from lotus picking in a lotus boat, and when they appeared from the turquoise lotus pond, people were like in a painting, adding to the scenery." So, I drew this one for you. I think Tuoba Tao, who was standing beside me, felt the same way. ”

Qiyun lowered her eyebrows and smiled lightly, the landscape was clear and clean - "How can I be so good-looking, Yizhen, you beautify me too much." ”

Yizhen raised his voice and said to her: "I will never be stingy with beautiful things. The beauty takes the flower as the appearance, the bird as the sound, the moon as the god, the willow as the state, the jade as the bone, the ice and snow as the skin, and the autumn water as the posture. ”

"However, the flowers will be grateful, the moon will be dark, the willows will wither, the jade will be broken, the ice and snow will melt, and the autumn water will be traceless. If a woman is pleasing to others, she will eventually be rewarded with a red face before she is old. Qiyun muttered to the moon indifferently.

"You're such a maverick woman, I don't know what kind of person deserves to stand by your side." Yoshijin smiled and shook his head.

At this time, Song Zhao came over, held a brocade box in both hands, and handed it to Yizhen, saying that it was a gift from someone to the county lord.

Yoshishin opened it and took out the contents of the box. It turned out to be a moire hosta, the jade quality is high, but the polishing hand is slightly rough. Qiyun flew down, holding the hosta, and suddenly remembered that this hosta was the same as the Linghu Pei jade she wore on her chest, and her chest was a little stuffy.

Seeing that she was stunned, Yizhen raised a strand of hair for Qiyun, and inserted the hosta between Qiyun's hair, "Cloud-patterned hosta, the person who sent this hosta must be a person with a heart." Yun'er, you must not let down his affection. ”
