Gu Zhicheng is also trying to talk to Han Ji these days, and he doesn't want him to come.

"Your father is on the Northwest Front, and you should be the most well-informed, what about you?" He pointed at him and said.

Han Ji couldn't tell him that this qiē was a suspicion that he had planted first, but he couldn't exclude him, he said: "I received a letter from my father last month, saying that Geltai had indeed avoided several conflicts with Battle, and as for the gossip outside, it is difficult to know whether it is true or false. ”

Gu Zhicheng frowned and said: "Could it be that Geltai has already sensed the intention of the dark clouds and decided to strike first?" ”

Han Ji nodded vaguely: "It's possible." He looked up at the map of Da Zhou on the wall, and said, "Now it's up to the emperor to react." If the emperor obeys the intention of retreating, as long as we take the opportunity to retreat, then it will not be far from retracting the secret decree. ”

Gu Zhicheng thought about it, and suddenly said: "If you ask Shen Mi about this, you must have eyebrows!" As he spoke, he summoned Chang Sui: "Go and see if Second Master Shen is there?" If so, invite him over for tea. ”

Han Ji heard him say that he went to find Shen Mi, and the tea bowl that came to his mouth stopped before being sent to the entrance.

Last time, he asked Shen Yan to lobby Shen Mi, and he didn't know if he had moved, if he did, he would have blown the wind in his ears to the emperor at this time, thinking of this, he couldn't help but look outside the door.

The person sent out came back and replied: "Back to the words of the prince, the second grandmother said that the second master Shen was summoned to the palace by the emperor early in the morning. ”

Gu Zhicheng frowned.

Han Ji frowned when he heard this, and said, "Since even Xiu Mu has been summoned into the palace, there must be something important, so it's okay for us to wait." ”

Recently, there are no important things in the court, except for the news of Jingshi, the emperor summoned Shen Mi into the palace at this time, so he didn't specifically talk about it, at least he would mention one or two sentences. The emperor's attitude is the most important at this time, and it is also directly related to his next steps, so it is worth waiting.

In the Qianqing Palace, Shen Mi was sorting out the recital for the emperor, and the whole hall was very quiet, and even the incense in the corner of the hall rose straight into the air.

The emperor approved a few folds, suddenly sighed, looked at Shen Mi, who was sitting on the left side of the imperial case, and said, "Is there a military situation in the northwest?" ”

Shen Mi lowered his head: "Yesterday, there was a grain and grass official who applied for the approval of grain, but there is no one today. ”

The emperor frowned and paused, and then said: "It is rumored that the situation in Mongolia is boiling outside, and there is no serious report in the northwest, what is the situation now, why doesn't this Wei Guogong report it?" ”

Shen Mi said softly: "Wei Guogong is far away in the northwest, and he doesn't know the movements of the Jingshi. ”

The Emperor sighed patiently, but his brow tightened.

Shen Mi pondered for a moment and said, "If the rumors outside are true, the Duke of Wei should guard the country closely, be careful and cautious, and strictly prevent the victorious Geltai or Battle from taking advantage of the victory to disturb my Great Zhou." These two are both tiger and wolf disciples, and with the current strength of the Great Zhou, they can't fight hard with them, and I'm afraid that negotiating peace is just a reason to add to their aggression. ”

The Emperor looked at him: "So you mean that if the situation changes, it is the best countermeasure to wait and see?" ”

"It's the safest countermeasure." Shen Mi lowered his head, "After all, our dynasty has only gone through so many years of war, and we must first settle down inside the outside world, and consolidating the foundation is the most important thing." ”

The emperor's chest rose and fell, he stood up from behind the imperial case, walked a few steps to the danfan, gritted his teeth and stood still for a moment, and finally eased the tension below, raised his wide sleeves, and said: "It's not too early, you can retreat first." ”

Shen Mi thanked him and stood up.

Outside the palace gate, he raised his eyes to look at the scorching sky, lowered his head and thought for a while, returned to the General Administration Department, and said to Ge Zhou: "Go to the old mansion of Xu Ge." ”

Gu Zhicheng and Han Ji were waiting for Shen Mi to return, who knew that after lunch, seeing that the heat was still high, and was about to add ice to the ice basin, Chang Sui came in and said that Shen Erye went out of the palace and went to Xu's house, Gu Zhicheng heard it, so he said to Han Ji: "It seems that it is very unfortunate." That being the case, I had to ask him again. ”

Han Ji smiled: "It's really a bit unfortunate. ”

Gu Song got Han Ji's indication here, and he didn't even care about eating, so he immediately went to the Duke of Wei's mansion and asked Xin Yi for the two baskets of grapes.

All the way to the gate of the fang, when I saw that Song Jiang was still behind, I couldn't help but say, "Why is it so slow?" When the sun shines, it will wilt! ”

Song Jiang wiped his sweat and rushed up and said: "The little one is afraid that it will be broken, and if it is broken, I am afraid that the wild goose girl will not like it!" ”

Gu Song thought about it, so he slowed down and entered the door, and when he arrived under Huabiao, he got off the horse first, unloaded the grapes, and led the horse back by Song Jiang, and went straight to Hongyin Hall with two bamboo baskets here, and then walked to the door and called a small servant: "You send this to the Shen family and give it to Miss Yan." ”

Shen Yan followed Shen Yi to the long room and came back, walked to the bottom of the corridor, and happened to see the little guy in front of Gu Zhicheng leaving, so he called Fusang to ask, "What did Uncle Gu send someone to do?" ”

Fusang said: "Come and see if the second master has come back, I've been here twice." ”

Shen Yan sighed, and was about to go into the house to find Fahrenheit, but as soon as one foot was raised, he quickly retracted it.

Gu Zhicheng came back to look for it twice in a row, there must be something important, she thought about it, then turned around and said, "I'll go to Gu's house to take a look." ”

When she arrived at Gu's house, as soon as she entered the second gate, she heard Gu Song and the little maid confessing to give her grapes. Looking at it again, there were two bamboo baskets of fresh and slippery fruits under the threshold, and I couldn't help but say, "Wow, where did you get such fresh grapes?" ”

Gu Song didn't want her to come over to meet Han Ji so he sent her over, but he didn't expect her to come, and he was stunned when he saw her suddenly appear.

But seeing that her face was full of joy and still happy, she hesitated, and didn't dare to say that it was sent by Han Ji, but said briefly: "Someone else sent it." Then he picked up a bunch, picked one, wiped it carefully with the silk boy, and handed it to her: "I eat it every year, and this year's one should be delicious, you can taste it." ”

Shen Yan took it and tasted it, and it was really sweet and juicy, it was an authentic Western Regions grape variety.

Gu Song saw that she liked it, and he was also happy in his heart, so he pulled her to the corner of the porch in the shade, wiped her with a silk, and watched her eat.

After Han Ji finished eating tea in the outer study, he went out to look for Gu Song, and Gu Zhicheng happened to go to the upper room to give the Duchess Rongguo a memorial book for the Midyear Festival, so he went out together. When I entered the atrium, the first thing I saw was this pair, and the two familiar baskets of grapes on the ground, and the two of them stopped together under the porch.

The summer breeze blows on the cheeks, and the two ginkgo biloba trees in the patio are dancing with their leaves, making people's hearts tickle as if grass has grown.

Gu Zhicheng, who was rough and leafy, saw this scene, and couldn't help but whisper: "Huh? This kid! ”

Gu Song doesn't like to eat snacks very much on weekdays, and he was already surprised when he asked Han Ji for grapes in court, but he didn't expect that he was still holding two baskets of grapes to please Shen Yan now, which surprised him even more, when did this kid be so considerate to him as a father?

He couldn't help showing a trace of embarrassment on his face, and looked at Han Ji beside him, while Han Ji squinted at Shen Yan who was eating the grapes that Gu Song had polished, and he couldn't see what his expression was at all.

But it doesn't look like a happy look.

Gu Zhicheng pondered, Han Jigui is the uncle of the Wei State Mansion, and he is already a general with real power, so he shouldn't care about Gu Song because of two baskets of fruits, right?

Thinking of this, he cleared his throat and said with a dry smile: "Song'er, this kid is really, Brother Han, you-"

Han Ji had already smiled and looked at him warmly: "This kid is really making people laugh and cry." ”

I can't cry or laugh, I just don't care? Gu Zhicheng put his mind at ease, and then remembered the bear-like appearance when Gu Song asked him to ask for grapes in the mansion before, it turned out that he was caring for his sister, and it was really interesting! Suddenly there were two laughs, and finally the two people who were immersed in the sweet fruit were alarmed.

"Uncle Ji?"

Seeing this, Gu Song stayed there and was at a loss, he knew that something bad would happen! Now how should he explain these two baskets of grapes to Shen Yan? He subconsciously wanted to stuff Shen Yan inside, Han Ji was not the kind of stingy person, maybe if he couldn't see Shen Yan, he wouldn't care who he took the grape for, right?

The two of them were needle-pointed, if Shen Yan knew that the fruit was Han Ji's, would he immediately spit out the food he had eaten? Will Han Ji take the opportunity to sneer at Shen Yan? He just didn't tell each other about the origin and whereabouts of the grapes, how could it be so coincidental!

Shen Yan is much more open than him, what is she afraid of Han Ji? Besides, she didn't know he was here.

She pulled his arm away and said, "What are you doing?" ”

Then he waved at Gu Zhicheng from afar across the patio: "Uncle Gu!" ”

Gu Zhicheng responded, and then walked over with Han Ji.

Gu Song was so anxious that the tip of his nose was sweating, thinking of the lethal strength of their firefight, carrying the bunch of grapes, he suddenly didn't know whether to let it go or not.

Han Ji paced slowly with his hands in his hands, took the grapes in his hand and looked at them, then picked one and threw it into his mouth.

"Where did the grapes come from? So sour. ”

Gu Song's heart fell to the ground, and he immediately threw a grateful look at him.

"How do you speak?"

Shen Yan didn't have a good breath, and reached out to snatch the grapes in his hand, and stuffed it back into his hand: "Don't give him food, you will be disgusted with this and that." "I hate this kind of person who takes advantage of it and picks and chooses.

After speaking, she turned her head to face Gu Zhicheng behind him, and said kindly: "Uncle Gu, what are you looking for my father?" ”

Although Gu Zhicheng didn't understand why Han Ji said this, no matter how clumsy he was, he could see that they were sparkling at this moment, he was too lazy to help the children, and when he heard her ask, he said: "It doesn't matter, just see if he has heard any news recently." ”R1152
