Back at the inn, the night was already deep, and after knocking a few times, Xiao Er came to open the door sleepily. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Info Seeing him like this, he can't expect to do anything, Xiao Er looked at Gao Xuanwu holding a woman with her head bowed in her arms, who seemed to be asleep, her expression was slightly strange, Gao Xuanwu stuffed him with a small piece of broken silver: "Is there any empty room?" Xiao Er shook his head, and Gao Xuanwu sighed: "Okay, it's okay." Then he helped Jin Huang and walked upstairs to his room. Xiao Er, who was standing downstairs, had an expression of "I understand, what to pretend" and went back to sleep with the silver.

He helped Jin Huang into the house, lit candles, and there was no hot water in the house, so he took the basin and went to the kitchen to get hot water, wanting to clean Jin Huang's face, but when he arrived in the kitchen, the stove was also cold, and there was no trickle in the water tank. Gao Xuanwu laughed at himself: "Staying in an inn is like living in a tent." "Resigned to his fate, go to the well in the backyard to fetch water.

There was no moon or stars in the sky, it was dark and dreary, and the cool breeze was as tight as a gust, and the wind carried the fishy smell of the rain. White light faintly flashed in the clouds on the horizon, followed by the rolling thunder, Gao Xuanwu fetched water, opened the stove, poured water into the big hanging pot, and held the bellows handle with his hand, pushing it again and again.

In the flickering light of the fire, he remembered the night before entering the customs.

Someone entered the Emperor's Gate with the Emperor's decree of the Northern Dynasty, and the people of the Northern Dynasty saw this decree, who was not allowed to kneel and listen immediately, there was no such rule in the Emperor's Gate, for Gao Xuanwu, it was just a sheepskin with words written. At this time, Gao Xuanwu had already made full powers, and under the pretext that he felt that the title of young master sounded younger and handsome than the door master, he never accepted his father's request to pass on the throne. This far-fetched reason was rumored to be a joke on the grassland, but his heart was very bright, his father is the emperor's uncle now, if there is anything missing, the emperor has to give some face, and for his cousin, he doesn't have to be too polite. For the livelihood of so many people up and down the Emperor's Gate, let's let the golden signboard of Dad hang for a few more years.

Seeing the person who delivered the decree, Gao Xuanwu stood up lazily, raised his hand to take the holy decree, this messenger is also a palace person who comes often, naturally knows what the style of this little prince is, and there is no surprise for the first time.

The first time this palace person came to pass the decree with the master, Gao Xuanwu also raised his hand to accept it like this, and the old palace people scolded him for not understanding the rules and not being humble. Gao Xuanwu threw the holy decree in his face on the spot and shouted: "Get out, love is not given, Lao Tzu doesn't want to see it yet." The old palace people originally wanted to hold up for the master, but he really didn't announce the decree, so he turned back to the palace, and said to the emperor with oil and vinegar, and the emperor was immediately furious, and the case was taken. Unexpectedly, a slap slapped him firmly in the face.

The rules of the palace in the Northern Dynasty are not as complicated as those in the Southern Dynasty, and this slap was personally rewarded by the angry Emperor Yeluxiong. Yeluxiong pointed at him and scolded: "You waste, you can't even deliver a letter, what's the use of leaving you!" Then he ordered the guards to drag the old palace man down and punish him heavily, and pointed to the small palace man: "You go, if you make another mistake, come and see you." After such a fuss, the people of the small palace were almost frightened to pee their pants, but the master spoke, and he had to listen, he had to hold the holy decree, trembling into the gate of the black hole of the emperor's gate, seeing Gao Xuanwu, like seeing the king of Yama, how dare he say a word, bent in, his eyes only dared to look at the ground. Suddenly, with a light hand, Gao Xuanwu had already taken the sheepskin and hurriedly glanced at it: "I know." ”

Xiaogong was scared to death, standing there not knowing whether to leave or not, Gao Xuanwu ordered someone to bring a piece of milk tofu and handed it to him: "Take it." The little palace people didn't know what they meant, and they trembled even more. Gao Xuanwu said with a smile: "If you don't leave, do you want to even invite me to Ming'er's breakfast?" "The people of the small palace were like being amnestied, and they crawled out of the emperor's gate with a rolling belt, as if a group of wolves were chasing after them.

After passing the decree back and forth a few times, the people of the small palace knew the status of this lord in the emperor's heart, and they also knew that this lord was actually not very difficult to get along with, but he hated that someone was shaking his majesty in front of him.

It's just that Gao Xuanwu who saw the holy decree was in a very complicated mood.

Nominally the eldest prince of the Northern Dynasty, the family has been doing all the secret work for the emperor for generations, and the prosperity of the Northern Dynasty is great, but it can't be known. Outsiders only say that the Gao family is a nobleman who is rich and generous for nothing, and who knows how much they have paid for the Northern Dynasty. At the beginning of the founding of the country, on the surface, the two countries had millions of soldiers on the border, but in the end it did not evolve into a situation of blood and pestle, which was a meticulous work in the secret.

In the end, the two countries clearly realized that if they fought hard, they would lose both sides and lose their arms, so they collected their troops. After that, there were constant small frictions, but there was no longer the scene of the big war when the three outer passes were burning together.

On the holy decree that Gao Xuanwu is holding in his hand now, there is no official language, just one line: "Enter the Southern Dynasty, kill Du Chengyu, the secretary of the household department, and Cheng Kelan, the secretary of Dali Temple." ”

A few days ago, the emperor of the Northern Dynasty said that "due to years of war, the national strength of the Southern and Northern Dynasties has been damaged, but Pingxia, who watched the fire from the other side, has gained a lot of advantages." For this reason, a letter of state was sent to the Southern Dynasties, expressing the sincerity of the hope that the two countries would be reconciled. He also said that the climate in the Northern Dynasties was harsh and the life of the people was not easy, and he hoped that after the peace talks, the Southern Dynasties, in the spirit of brotherhood, could extend a helping hand and send some cloth, grain, charcoal, silver, and so on to the Northern Dynasties in the autumn and winter seasons.

The figures listed on the list were two-thirds of the income of the treasury of the Southern Dynasty during the harvest year, and immediately Du Chengyu, the secretary of the household department, spoke out against it, and the secretary of the military department also thought that the peace talks were fake, and the things were true.

However, the privy envoy Feng Ruici had a different opinion, saying: "The opinion of the Northern Dynasty is very reasonable, and if it refuses, it is unkind to the Southern Dynasty." Even if the peace talks between the Northern Dynasties are fake, it is better to accept them first, and drag them out for a while, and then the Northern Dynasties will either regret and invade our Southern Dynasties again, which means that they will have a loss of morality. ”

Du Chengyu was furious: "After fighting for so many years, their morality has always been at a loss, so what, is it difficult to cry to Pingxia Chengqing!" ”

Feng Ruici sneered: "Master Du, I know that you have a heartache for the silver, and the silver that should be spent still has to be spent, this is not like Ling Langna's concubine, who enters the door silently, which saves trouble." ”

Du Shuyan had just married the county lord and accepted two concubines, and many people in the court knew that listening to Feng Ruici say this, although it was inconvenient to laugh out loud in the main hall, they were also very hard. Du Chengyu took a deep breath and tried his best to keep himself calm: "Lord Feng, don't confuse state affairs with family affairs. The neighbor was short of firewood for a while, so why not give him some. You can't do that all the time. With Lord Feng's income, if you want to support the neighbors in Erlangfang, I'm afraid you won't be able to do it. The Northern Dynasty clearly regards the treasury of the Southern Dynasty as its own, and says that if you want it, since Lord Feng is so generous, why not donate the annual salary, it is also for the country. ”

Feng Ruici ignored him, and only arched his hand to the people on the throne: "Holy Lord, years of war, mothers and sons, wives and husbands, the people want to live a stable life for a few years, and now the news that the Northern Dynasty hopes for peace talks has been spread. ”

Du Chengyu also turned his gaze to the Ninety-Five Supreme: "Your Majesty, the Northern Dynasty is wild and untamable, how many peace treaties were signed with Taizu Taizong in the past, and what happened later." There can be no peace talks with them. ”

Feng Ruici said hurriedly: "The current emperor of the Northern Dynasty is different from before. ”

Du Chengyu sneered: "You know the emperor of the Northern Dynasty very well." ”

Seeing that the two of them were in a hurry, and they were about to make trouble again, his expression was blocked by the twelve crowns, and the emperor who couldn't see the sunny day slowly opened his mouth, his voice was not high, but it was quiet in the hall, he glanced at Du Chengyu: "What Du Aiqing said is reasonable. He glanced at Feng Ruici again: "Feng Aiqing is very worried. Finally, he said: "This matter is very important, and it must be considered in the long run." Retreat. ”

The emperor didn't show his attitude, and the two had no room to fight, so they went back to their respective homes angrily.

In the imperial study, the emperor received a letter from Dali Siqing, and he also opposed peace talks with the Northern Dynasties. The emperor put the notebook on the desk and said to Du Shuyan in front of him: "Look, this Lord Cheng knows not to turn his face in the hall, and then show his attitude in private." I also went back to persuade your father, a person of such an age, who is noisy with others above the Golden Palace, and has smoothed out your affairs. ”

Du Shuyan, who entered the palace to report on the recent situation in the Linglou, could only make a haha.

The emperor bowed his head and finished reading the book, then raised his head and said to Du Shuyan: "I just said that the letter of state of the Northern Dynasty has just entered the customs, and the news that the two countries want to negotiate peace has already spread all over the market. Du Qing, what do you think about this matter? ”

Du Shuyan said in a deep voice: "The Northern Dynasties are bent on succeeding in the peace talks, and first spread the news among the people. If the Southern Dynasty does not allow it, they will lose one step ahead of others, and they will bet that the Southern Dynasty will not dare to do so. If there is any obstacle, they will spare no effort to remove it. ”

"Now it seems that the biggest obstacle is your father." The emperor frowned slightly: "I am worried that someone will be unfavorable to him, Du Qing must be careful, if necessary, he can also transfer some people to the mansion." ”

Du Shuyan shook his head, he has been the owner of the Linglou for so long, and he is very familiar with those assassination methods, where can the forbidden army in the palace prevent those elusive killers, everything can only be careful by himself.

He politely declined the kindness of the saint, but the emperor could not, so he had to give a few words in vain, and seeing that he was uneasy, he knew that he was worried about his father, and did not leave him in the palace for dinner, so he ordered him to go back.

The news of the Linglou, the Emperor Xingmen of the Northern Dynasty has taken action, thinking that it is not good for the boss.

Emperor Xingmen is the killer directly under the emperor of the Northern Dynasty, and Du Shuyan knows it. It's just that there are people in the Emperor Sect, he hasn't found out yet, in the Northern Dynasty, the identities of everyone in the Emperor Gate are top secret.

Thinking of this, Du Shuyan's heart was gloomy: "How come the identity of the owner of his Spirit Mansion is known everywhere." (To be continued.) (To be continued.) )
