When Gu Jun returned to Changxin Palace, it was obvious that Su Jiyang had been waiting for a long time.

"Let him in." Gu Jun sat upright in his chair.

Su Jiyang stepped in with square steps, and he was suave and graceful.

"Your Majesty." Su Jiyang bowed respectfully.

Gu Jun sat up straight: "No need to be polite. How's that going? ”

As soon as this matter was mentioned, it was obvious that Su Jiyang was a gesture of wanting to speak and stopping.

Gu Jun subconsciously frowned and asked, "What's going on?"

"Yes...... Mrs. Lin colluded with mountain bandits to rob the official bank for disaster relief. Su Jiyang also doesn't have a good impression of this Mrs. Lin, but this daughter is in the position of concubine in the harem, so she is not very easy to speak.

"He is also capable, and he can even collude with mountain bandits." Gu Jun laughed angrily, the corners of his mouth curved, but there was a chill in his eyes that penetrated deep into the bone marrow.

Such a fluttering sentence made Li Quanzhong, who was standing on the side pretending to be a background wall, shudder.

Even Su Jiyang, who has always been fearless in the face of crises, has a little numb scalp.

The wrath of the Son of Heaven ambushes millions of corpses.

"You lead your troops to uproot the mountain bandits there! As for Mrs. Lin...... Let him be at ease for a while. Gu Jun rubbed his chin.

"Yes."

"By the way, the envoys of the Goryeo Kingdom and the barbarians live in the post station, and the banquet of today's Laba Festival should be to enter the palace to pay tribute."

Gu Jun nodded: "So early this year?"

"I'm afraid it's because the Goryeo Kingdom has been war-torn for a long time, and now it has established a new lord. Therefore, a special envoy was sent to pay tribute. In order to ensure that we can win the help of our country, this is why it is so early this year. Su Jiyang said slowly.

"If this is the reason for the Goryeo Kingdom, then what is the reason for the barbarians?"

This is indeed Su Jiyang, and it is not known.

The barbarians have always been brave and good at war, and when they were young, they would ride horses and shoot arrows, and they were all good at conquering cities.

However, their belligerence led to the division of the various forces, and they often fought each other for food and territory.

Therefore, the forces are not concentrated, otherwise Gu Jun would really have a headache.

"Well, let's see when we get back to night."

"Yes."

Gu Jun waved his hand: "You go down first."

"The minister retired." Su Jiyang said, and then withdrew from the inner hall.

The night was gradually falling, and the vertical arch hall was already lit.

The light of the room illuminated the vaulted hall as bright as day.

The crowd gradually sat down.

It's just that Chu Xuan didn't come today. Because of physical discomfort. I was allowed not to attend the banquet today, so as not to get angry.

Gu Jun dressed in bright yellow, and walked to the top of the steps to sit down in front of everyone's worship.

He tilted his face and nodded lightly, and then he heard a thin and high-pitched voice: "Open a feast!"

The palace people rushed in with exquisite dishes. The dancers also entered and danced. Musician accompaniment.

Open the tortoiseshell at the feast. Furong mattress set.

Father Chu didn't see Chu Xuan's figure when he looked up, and he was also suspicious.

Needless to say, he knows it now.

Chu Mansion has been broken through the threshold in recent days. Not for anything, just for the heir in the womb of his eldest daughter.

If nothing else, the child she is carrying is the first child in this palace. If you are lucky, you will give birth to a prince, and that is the eldest prince.

Sometimes, age is also an important factor in winning succession.

But if you give birth to a princess, you can only admit it.

But his daughter didn't attend this palace banquet now, could it be that something happened?

I have to say that Father Chu is really the truth.

Isn't there just an accident?

The envoys of the Goryeo Kingdom and the barbarians all offered their own tributes, but in the eyes of the vast Ruijing Dynasty, these were not enough.

After all, the Goryeo Kingdom occupies a small area, and most of it is mountainous, rugged and barren, and there is a lack of materials.

Not to mention the barbarians, from time to time the forces of all sides will fight, and their own supplies may not be enough.

How much can you offer even if you pay tribute?

It's a loss-making business.

The tribute from the Goryeo Kingdom and the barbarians was only a little, but the Seokyung Dynasty wanted to reward them with a lot of good things.

After all, face is the most important thing for people in Ruijingchao, and you can't lose face if you lose anything.

But now a large amount of official money for disaster relief has gone into the rat hole, and the victims have not received the silver. It was impossible for Gu Jun to watch the victims starve to death, so he could only allocate another sum of money to solve their food and clothing problems.

Coupled with the rewards of the Goryeo Kingdom and the barbarians this time, the treasury is really tight, and Gu Jun is also dripping blood in his heart.

The queen turned her head to look at Gu Jun on the steps by taking the wine bottle, but she couldn't see the reason through the beaded curtain. She could only take a sullen sip of wine, and she had been worried in her heart since Concubine He's smile.

Concubine He has been fighting with her for so long, can she still understand Concubine He's thoughts?

It's just that she was planted in Concubine He's hands before, and this time she is not completely sure that she can completely take herself out.

She stared at Concubine He over there, only to see Concubine He feel her gaze, and deliberately raised the wine bottle to salute her defiantly.

Although it was through the beaded curtain, it could still be seen vaguely.

Concubine He grinned at the corners of her lips, this time the queen can admit it.

Although Ruijing is open to the people, it still follows the distinction between men and women. So a bead curtain was specially set up, although it should be seen or not less, but it played a role in sheltering.

And now there are not many concubines in the palace, so it's okay.

In addition, Na Chu Xuan did not attend because he was unwell, so there were only five concubines in the Vertical Arch Hall in total.

Of course, those people didn't dare to look around, after all, it was the emperor's woman. Don't think about it, if you accidentally upset the emperor, you may lose your head directly.

They still cherish their lives, and there is no grass in the world.

Because the Goryeo Kingdom has a request from the Ruijing Dynasty, and the culture is also similar, they dare not look at these concubines.

But the barbarian people have always been heroic, and even stared at a few concubines without concealment.

This feeling really made them uncomfortable, even if there was a beaded curtain, they could feel their fierce eyes.

These concubines are uncomfortable, and the emperor is even more uncomfortable.

But in front of everyone, it was not good to get angry on the spot, so he could only cough and warn him to pay attention.

The barbarians came to make this barely retract their gaze, but it always left a pimple in Gu Jun's heart. Not only for the barbarians, but also for these concubines.

Now it seems that Chu Xuan is really lucky that he didn't attend this banquet.

Because if nothing else, Chu Xuan's appearance in the palace is superior. This barbarian has always been informal, but it doesn't mean that Gu Jun doesn't care. (To be continued.) )
