Chapter Twenty-Eight: Relief

In the early morning of the next day, the heavy snow covered the sky and the earth, and the eyes were full of eyes. When Cui Yuanji and Luo Xin woke up, they were not only very happy to see that the charcoal fire in the house had been lit, and the room was warm, which was very comfortable. got dressed and got up, but saw that Li He had already cleaned the snow in the courtyard, and couldn't help but be ashamed, and hurriedly came over to thank him.

Li He seemed to be in a good mood, and looked at the two of them with a smile, "This snow is falling well, and next spring will be conducive to farming. ”

Cui Yuanji echoed: "Yes, if this is the case, it is really a blessing in the world." ”

Li He looked at him with a smile, "You don't believe what I said, I dare to say that next year's harvest of grains, Ziweixing is dazzling, Taiweiyuan and Tianshihuan are also clear and abnormal, it seems that next year not only will the world be peaceful, but the border war will also be very good, Your Majesty is really divided into four seas!" ”

Luo Xin said: "Mr. Li's words must be accurate, although Your Majesty is young, he can handle political affairs in an orderly manner, and he is really a generation of masters." ”

Li He looked at the sky, at this time the sun was shining, the sky was clear, he pointed to the side of the room and said: "I have made breakfast, the two of you have eaten breakfast, let's get up, this is just right, tomorrow to go, the snow will melt, the road is muddy, it is extremely difficult to walk." ”

He took the first into the side room, Cui Yuanji and Luo Xin glanced at each other, and there was a layer of melancholy in their hearts.

After breakfast, Li He entered a room, and he didn't come out for a long time, Cui Yuanji and Luo Xin didn't leave, nor did they stay, they were in a dilemma, and they didn't know what to do. Luo Xin said: "Brother Cui, Li He has a strange personality and refuses to enter Beijing with us, why don't we tell Your Majesty and explain the situation, how about it?" ”

Cui Yuanji frowned, pondered for a while and said: "Your Majesty is now in a difficult period, and urgently needs a strategist to help plan, although we are loyal to Your Majesty, how can we have limited patience, although Li He is arrogant, he is a rare talent." Since we have been entrusted by Your Majesty, how can we afford to live up to Your Majesty's ardent expectations? I begged him and asked him to go back to the capital with us. ”

After saying that, he stood up and walked straight to the inner room where Li He was, and saw that he was holding a scroll in his hand and studying it behind the case, and he didn't look at Cui Yuanji.

Cui Yuanji didn't care whether he liked to see him or not, he knelt on the ground straight, and said loudly: "Mr. Li, Your Majesty is young, the Dou family is in power, and he is independent of the palace alone, and it is difficult to step by step. Mr. is talented, astronomical and geographical, knows everything, and is good at divination, just to help His Majesty, take charge of the world as soon as possible, and return my Han to a clear sky. Cui Yuanji is not talented, please sir, go back to Beijing with the villain! ”

Li He put down the book, stared at Cui Yuanji's eyes, his eyes flashed, and he asked slowly: "If I am directly appointed to an official position, it will definitely arouse the suspicion of the Dou family, and sooner or later there will be accidents." If I am not appointed to an official position, it will be difficult for me to contact His Majesty, and how can I help Your Majesty? If so, what does Your Majesty think? ”

Luo Xin also came in from outside the door at this time, and also knelt down in front of Li He and said: "Sir, when Your Majesty asked us to find Mr., we had already made arrangements, and we will definitely be able to arrange Mr. properly, and I will never make Mr. embarrassed." ”

Li He asked, "Do you know what the arrangement is?" ”

Cui Yuanji hesitated for a moment and said: "Sir, I heard that Your Majesty once instructed officials to go to Qinghe to spread the word that Liu Qing, the king of Qinghe, would return to Beijing and build a mansion in Beijing, could it be related to Mr. entering Beijing?" ”

"Hahaha!" Li He laughed, "What a smart emperor, that's it, in this way, I will go back to Beijing with you!" ”

Cui Yuanji was overjoyed when he heard this, "Mr. Li, can you take this seriously?" ”

Li He said: "If you think it's fake, I won't go!" After saying that, he smiled, but his delicate face had a hint of solemnity.

"No, no, sir, I believe! I believe it! Cui Yuanji said busily.

Li He stood up, walked a few steps in the house, his pupils flashed with crystal light, and suddenly dimmed, and said: "I wanted to die in the mountains and wilderness, and not ask about the world. But who knows that he is still worried about the affairs of the DPRK and China in his heart, and it seems that he has something on his mind. A few months ago, Liu Qing, the king of Qinghe, came to live with me for a few days, and when he talked about the affairs of the court, I also sighed with him, and handed over the apprentice to him, so why didn't he have the heart to help the world? Now that the two of them are here, they hear that the young emperor is so smart and decisive, and their hearts are very yearning. After that, he will enter the land of dragons and tigers, life and death, and I don't know what the future holds. That's it, time, luck, life, and number, but also my own source of dust, why bother to be high, it is better to go back to Beijing with you. Your Majesty wants me to be in the palace of Qinghe, his brother often meets, since no one dares to say anything, and I can also use this to offer advice to Your Majesty, such a monarch is really the Holy Lord, although Li He knows that he has to take on a heavy responsibility, but he does not dare to refuse. And then ———"

He paused and glanced at Cui Yuanji and said: "Lord Cui is loyal, Li He admires it, I want to come to Your Majesty to have such a loyal minister, why should I regret it?" He helped Cui Yuanji and Luo Xin and said: "I count that tomorrow will be warmer, and the road will not be easy, so it is better to get up today!" ”

He grabbed a cloak and turned to go out the door. Cui Yuanji saw that he had nothing with him, not only was he surprised, but chased him out and said, "Sir, don't you have anything with you?" The two of us can also hold it for Mr. ”

Li He didn't look back, and said loudly: "Here, Li He is no longer in love, and he takes anything with him, just thinking about it, go, since you are here to pick me up, you don't need me to take money if you want to come!" ”

Cui Yuanji listened, hurriedly entered the house, took his and Luo Xin's cloaks and burdens out, and quickly followed Li He out of the door!

That Li He is also strange, when he arrived in the town, he hired a car, stayed in the car, and did not let him go quickly, only walked more than ten miles a day, and then let him rest, which made Cui Yuanji and Luo Xin anxious, and did not dare to urge him, so he had to be full of resentment, although the road was not too far, but he walked for a month and a half before he came to the Middle East Gate outside Luoyang City.

Li He poked his head out of the car and said, "Master Cui, let's live outside the city tonight, you go to the city to inquire, has the Qinghe Royal Mansion been built?" ”

Cui Yuanji only understood at this moment that he was tossing so much for this, and sighed in his heart, this person has such a mind, knowing that Qinghe Mansion has not been built, if he arrives in Beijing early, it will attract attention, which will bring trouble to His Majesty.

Urging the horse to the city, seeing that the New Year is approaching, all parts of the city have not yet seen the joy of the first emperor because of the emperor's great trip for less than three years, but in the small door, regardless of the affairs of the king and Laozi, they also began to get busy, and the people on the street gradually increased. I also thought that I would rush to Beijing at this time, and there were a lot of relatives who came to walk around with each other, which was also a good time. Li He urged them to set off, but they didn't hurry, thinking that they came to catch this opportunity!

He came to Jiangzuo Shaofu to find his friend Saoyue. After the doorman reported the incident, he saw Mackerel Yue rushing out from inside, saw him give a salute, looked at him and asked, "Brother Shaozhi, where have you been in the past few months, my little brother is so worried." ”

Cui Yuanji said with a smile: "Your Majesty has a guess, so I have to go out, and I am worried about my brothers." ”

Sakoshi pulled him and said, "Let's go, let's go have a glass of wine together!" ”

Cui Yuanji said: "There is no hurry to eat and drink, let me ask you, can Your Majesty build a mansion for King Qinghe recently, has it been completed?" ”

Ma Yue said: "Yes, it was not built, but the original Princess Qinshui borrowed the other courtyard in Beijing, and all of them were repaired, and they were painted inside and out." We were ordered to finish it by the end of the year, and it was done three days ago! ”

"Princess Qinshui's courtyard?"

"Yes, Princess Qinshui has moved to a fiefdom and refuses to live in Beijing, you know, back then-" Sao Yue glanced at Cui Yuanji with his eyes, and both of them knew it.

Princess Qinshui is the fifth daughter of Emperor Liu Zhuang of the Ming Dynasty (Emperor Ming has a total of 11 princesses) Liu Zhi. Legend has it that she is a cold-faced beauty rarely seen in history, with an elegant and quiet personality, virtuous and lonely, kind, and weak, and it is rare to smile several times in her life. At that time, in order to find a wishful husband for the princess, Liu Zhuang also had a lot of brains.

Later, Princess Qinshui was married to Gaomi Hou Deng Gan, the grandson of the founding father Deng Yu. Speaking of which, it is still related to Deng Sui.

In order for Princess Qinshui to have a good natural environment to cultivate her body and mind, Liu Zhuang walked all over the mountains and rivers, and finally selected a bamboo forest on the north bank of the Qinhe River. This bamboo forest, north of Taihang, south of the Qin River, rich, quiet, bright, peaceful. "Between the curved hedges of the low houses, green bamboos and yellow flowers." "The earth is in the dustless realm, and people can't live in the sky." "Yunhuang Tu Qiao, the scenery is better than Jiangnan". It is said that King Wen of Zhou called this "the great yang residence of the world", which is a natural match for the princess's character. So Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty sent hundreds of officials to supervise, mobilized thousands of laborers, and built Qinyuan in more than a month, as the princess's dowry, which shows the emperor's special favor.

This bamboo forest, the original green forest is dripping green, the spring stream flows all over, by the mountains and rivers, the ravines are undulating, just like a natural big bonsai, only a few pavilions and pavilions are built, saving time and labor, the pastoral scenery and the pavilions and pavilions are integrated, chic and beautiful.

But when Dou Xian came here, he felt that the scenery here was beautiful, and he said that he wanted to buy and sell strongly, and gave a low price. Princess Qinshui was very angry, but she was weak by nature, and the Dou family was powerful, so there was no special dispute and moved out directly. He built an annex in Beijing, and he didn't explain it to the imperial brother afterwards.

Later, Emperor Zhang Liu Wei came to Qinyuan, but he didn't see his sister Princess Qinshui, only to see Dou Xian inside, and after careful questioning, he learned that Princess Qinshui was kicked out of Qinyuan, and he was furious, but because the Empress Dowager Dou pleaded hard, she ordered Dou Xian to return Qinyuan, and never reused Dou Xian.

After Princess Qinshui moved back to Qinyuan, the mansion built in Beijing was vacant, and now it is just used as the palace of King Qinghe. This incident was widely spread and known to everyone.

Cui Yuanji nodded and said, "Yes, I know about this matter, can King Qinghe live in the mansion now?" ”

Ma Yue said: "King Qinghe has come to the capital a long time ago, His Majesty has always let him live in Yuan Situ's mansion, and now that the mansion has been repaired, he has moved in yesterday." ”

This series of good news made Cui Yuanji extremely satisfied, he thanked Saoyue, said goodbye and returned, saw Li He, and told the cause and effect of the incident one by one. Li He smiled and said, "In this way, very good, tomorrow morning, we will enter the city and go directly to see King Heqing." ”
