Chapter 255: Break and Stand
Tian Mi didn't take a few steps before a servant intercepted her and whispered to her, "Girl, the prime minister is invited." ”
Tian Mi followed him into the restaurant, and in the private room of the restaurant, Cui Xiyan was drinking leisurely.
Tian Mi sat down with a salute, Cui Xiyan raised a glass to her, and said with a smile: "Let the girl be frightened, and punish yourself first." ”
Tian Mi smiled: "There is no danger." ”
After a glass of wine, Cui Xiyan's gentle face was dyed a little red, and the light in his eyes was like wine, bright and magnificent.
Tian Mi blinked, looked at most of the wine left in the wine Gu, and thought to herself, could it be that the Prime Minister was on his face when he drank? As far as she knew, the prime minister was not a good drinker, but the last time I saw him, he was also drinking alone, which was really a bit of a drink to kill his sorrows.
In the court, there are a lot of troubles, right? Although Tian Mi could guess a little, she didn't prepare to ask, just sat upright.
Cui Xiyan supported his forehead with one hand, his expression was a little lazy, and he said slowly: "The general saw that there was a princess to help, and he escaped into this restaurant, in fact, the matter of fake copper coins has long been broken." ”
Already broken? This made Tian Mi a little surprised.
Cui Xiyan saw that her eyes widened and were round, and she couldn't help but be a little funny, and said: "The information provided by the girl is so reliable, and the official himself is out of the horse, if it is not broken, it will make people laugh and lose their big teeth." ”
"Then why-" Tian Mi wanted to ask why there was no news coming out, but thinking that he had other purposes in doing so, she only said: "There is still chaos in the market." ”
The bright eyes deepened, Cui Xiyan nodded, and said, "But compared to the chaos at this time, it is a secret. It's even more useful. ”
Although Tian Mi was puzzled, she didn't ask much, Cui Xiyan couldn't help but shake her head and smile, and said: "The news of the Xuan family is the most well-informed, presumably the princess has already told you, who is the source of today's difficult letter, right?" ”
Tian Mi nodded. Said: "Second Emperor." ”
"Yes. It's him. Cui Xiyan nodded, took another sip slowly, and said slowly: "The second emperor's marriage proposal failed." There was already a mustard in his heart, and before, it was you who told him about Feng Pinghou and made him cut off the emperor's arm. He didn't make a move on you for the time being. ”
"When it comes to fake copper coins, he thinks he's safe. But you found the horse's feet, I have already solved the case according to the line you provided, but it was kept secret, and it was investigated with great fanfare. to avoid hearing and hearing. In this way, he was in a hurry and wanted to take this opportunity to fight back. And you-"
Cui Xiyan's warm lips hooked lightly, and continued: "The second emperor is not stupid. After hearing about you, how could you not think that this matter has something to do with you? Send someone to check, and you will know everything. So, he also took advantage of the chaos to create a lot of trouble for you, trying to cut off our arms and make us retreat. ”
Since it came to this, Tian Mi had to ask-"So, why is the Prime Minister secret?" ”
"I want to give the Second Emperor time." His eyebrows and eyes soothed, and Cui Xiyan chuckled: "It's time for the jade to burn." ”
She really, she doesn't understand...... Tian Mi frowned in annoyance and looked at Cui Xiyan helplessly.
Cui Xiyan chuckled, and no longer sold the customs, and said directly: "I don't close the case, the incident continues to deteriorate, and now, such a big event has happened in the letter, which has alarmed many people, and the saint and the official will definitely be in a hurry, and at this time, the emperor who has been on a par with the second emperor has 'checked' some lines, and under great joy, in order to invite credit, he will conduct an in-depth investigation, and this investigation will 'touch' the second emperor, and the second emperor will fight back, and when the second emperor knows that the other party has all the evidence, guess what he will do?" ”
Guess what he's going to do......
Tian Mi was excited, her scalp was a little numb, and there were layers of goosebumps on her arms.
She is not stupid, she naturally understands what the prime minister means, he is manipulating the two brothers to kill each other.
Cui Xiyan's eyes were distant and indifferent, he looked at the huge capital outside the window, and said: "Since the death of the Great Emperor and the Fourth Emperor, the battle for the throne of the two emperors has been very fierce. ”
"When the girl donated military supplies, she only knew that the treasury was empty, the imperial court could not continue, and the border army was trapped in a dangerous city, there were internal ghosts, and there were strong enemies outside, and the war was stalemate." A light smile pursed into his lips, his eyes were indifferent and empty, he looked at Tian Mi, and said, "The girl also learned later that the inner ghost is the emperor's person, and the second emperor, the first emperor, has stolen the property of his own people. ”
Tian Mi felt that what was brewing in Cui Xiyan's eyes did not seem to be wine, but a sharp blade that was sharp enough to make people chi.
"The soldiers are bleeding hard outside, they are intriguing inside, even the military rations are not taken to heart, even if the saint values the battle of Dongchu, there are many people below who are full of private pockets." Cui Xiyan said slowly: "Your Majesty's body is declining day by day, but the obsession is becoming more and more profound, Xuan Heng expelled the enemy army from the country when he asked for instructions on whether to negotiate peace, His Majesty categorically decided to invade the territory of the enemy, and must capture Dongchu, in order to wash away the shame of my Changguo year and benefit all generations." ”
"The name is good, but even this military supply is also due to the help of the girl." Cui Xiyan looked at Tian Mi with a complicated look in her eyes, "Now that the battle line is lengthened and military supplies are more difficult to guarantee, can a country win a battle by donation alone?" ”
He couldn't help but shake his head, took a sip of wine, and said in a condensed voice: "I'm really afraid, if there is no way to continue halfway, what will he do?" ”
The 'he' in Cui Xiyan's mouth is today.
Tian Mi couldn't help but think of the tax increase that impressed her, and she couldn't help but think that if she did it again...... She shook her head and looked at Cui Xiyan.
The Prime Minister is a thoughtful person, and today's rebellious words, he said to her, if it was because she reassured him, it would be unconvincing, even if it was added alcohol, it was still not enough, so the Prime Minister's purpose was to test her, or, ask for help from her, right?
He wondered, if that was the case, would she have a way to help Chang Kook survive another catastrophe?
Tian Mi pursed her lips and said the first sentence after being silent for a long time: "Prime Minister, you are drunk." ”
Cui Xiyan curled her lips and smiled, nodded with a smile, and said, "Yes, I'm drunk." I don't remember what I said, but finally, I asked the girl to listen to my last words. ”
Tian Mi did not object, and looked at the prime minister opposite with clear eyes.
“。” Cui Xiyan's eyes were already smiling gently, and he whispered to her with a smile: "Please also ask the girl to help me, I don't want the world to forget about life and death, and come back to see it." It's a bad game. ”
"The girl doesn't know yet, does she? I've known each other since I was a child. I'm eight years older than him. Cui Xiyan paused, looked at Tian Mi with an amiable smile, and said, "He is forty out of twenty this year." Speaking of which, the eldest girl is also eight years old. ”
Xuan Heng, eight years older than her? Why didn't she see it? Wrong. When we first met, he was a young man. And not a teenager.
Tian Mi stiffened for a moment, and stiffly said to someone who was joking: "This is more than one word, right?" ”
Cui Xiyan didn't mind, and continued to smile warmly: "However, the girl doesn't have to worry. The man was in the army at a young age, rarely returned to Beijing, and did not have many romantic affairs. ”
"As for family affairs." He paused for a moment's time, and said with a smile: "The younger brother of the clan will be righteous when he reaches a certain age." He has dragged it out until now, except for this reason in the permanent army, it seems that he is waiting for Miss Yan of the National Mansion, right? Gongsun Wan is comparable to his family, and everyone thinks that they are a match made in heaven. ”
Tian Mi ignored Cui Xiyan's interesting expression, and only asked, "Then why didn't it work out?" ”
The girl also calmed down. Cui Xiyan couldn't help but smile, and said with a smile: "Cheng is also Xiao He is defeated, after knowing the intentions of the two families, naturally, it is not visible that they will succeed, and the combination of strong and powerful is not filling him up?" ”
Speaking of which, it didn't mean much, Cui Xiyan put down the wine glass, stood up crookedly, shook his head, Fang 'sobered' a little, and said to her with a smile: "I'm drunk, I won't accompany you today, during this time, you should be careful yourself." ”
Tian Mi nodded and asked someone to come in and serve him.
Tian Mi watched the servant help the prime minister out of the door, she looked back at the window, the buildings outside the window, the sky is vast, the city is huge, and the crowd is endless.
Looking at it, she could almost see through her eyes the slaughter and turmoil that would follow.
The Imperial City, unlike Qingzhou and any other place, is different, this is the Imperial City.
Tian Mi stood quietly for a while, went back to the bank after leaving the restaurant, and after explaining some things, went home.
When Tian Mi arrived home, the housekeeper handed her a letter, Tian Mi took it, and was about to go back to the room, when she looked at her mother sitting in the hall and looking at something.
Seeing her strange face, the steward hurriedly explained: "By the way, today, there is also a letter handed to Mrs. in Qingzhou, and Mrs. is very happy when she gets it." ”
Are you very happy? She has good eyesight now, and naturally sees her mother's frowning lightly, and her expression is worried.
Tian Miti walked into the hall, leaned in front of Tan's eyes, and called softly: "Mother." ”
Tan woke up, subconsciously put away the letter, and said to her with a smile: "Qiuqiu is back." ”
Seeing that Tian Mi's eyes fell on the letter, Tan explained: "It's a letter from your Aunt Yang, she asked someone to write it on her behalf, not only worried about me, but also worried about Yuan Hua, the caravan in Qingzhou has returned from Kyoto, she didn't see it, so she naturally has to worry about it." ”
Tian Mi heard her say this, just when she thought about her friend, she settled down.
However, Tan Shi lost his mind for a while, pondered for a while, hesitated for a while, and asked softly, "Speaking of Yuan Hua, how is he?" ”
"He's good, huh?" Tian Mi nodded and replied, "You tell Aunt Yang to rest assured, everything is fine with him." ”
"Qiuqiu, that ......" Tan Shi rarely swallowed, she blushed her face and said in a low voice: "Do you know that Yuan Hua has a favorite girl?" ”
This Tian Mi didn't pay attention, she thought about it, and said with a smile: "I haven't heard him say it, but there are quite a lot of people who want to marry him, you can go around the imperial city, if the Yuan family wants to marry a daughter-in-law now, it is absolutely no problem to take ten or eight." ”
She obviously remembered what the Yang family had said when she was in Yangliu Village.
"Your Aunt Yang wants to marry, but now that she can marry, Yuan Hua seems to have no intention." Tan Shi looked at his daughter, moved his lips, and the words came to his mouth, but he just said: "Yuan Hua, he is also twenty years old this year, your Aunt Yang has been very anxious, and I don't know what Yuan Hua told her this time, she is even more anxious......"
Seeing that Tan's expression became more and more difficult the more he spoke, Tian Mi couldn't help but put away the smile on her face, thinking about the words before and after.
Bei Ya bit his lip lightly, Tan hesitated again, and finally made up his mind, and said: "At the beginning, Qiuqiu helped Yuan Hua, and in the past two years, that child has always been in mind, I heard that this counterfeit money is also thanks to his help." ”
"Qiuqiu, Yuan Hua treats us well, even if we are kind to him, he doesn't owe us anything." Tan's soft face became resolute, looked at Tian Mi and said, "Actually, my mother has already seen that Yuan Hua's child is extraordinary to you." ”
She held Tian Mi's hand, looked at her daughter who had calmed down, and said angrily: "My mother is selfish, I originally wanted to wait for the world to really come back to talk about it, but your Aunt Yang wrote a letter worried about Yuan Hua's marriage, mother, mother, mother......"
"Mother," Tian Mi shook Tan's soft and boneless hand and said softly, "I know." ”
She didn't say much, and Tan didn't say much, just hugged her gently, patted her on the back, and said softly: "Go back to the room, wait for your brother to come back and come out for dinner." ”
Tian Mi nodded, took the letter sent by Xuan Heng, and went back to the room.
Xuan Heng often wrote to her, writing about some of his experiences in the army, and sometimes, with some interesting local things. Tian Mi's reply is mostly a bit of her life, and there is nothing special about it. But this back and forth, obviously separated by thousands of rivers and mountains, the two hearts seem to be closer.
In the past few days, the imperial court vigorously investigated the counterfeiting of money, made people panic in the city, believed that there were several big Buddhas blessed, escaped this catastrophe, but other money banks have made great difficulties, it is said that there are a lot of bankruptcies, and the boss has run away with a lot of money, and this is far from over.
Two days ago, the emperor was hunting in the suburbs, and the prey in the hunting ground did not know what was crazy, and it was out of control, and attacked people in the mountains and forests.
And just when people were speculating, the emperor who was "abolished" went to the early dynasty, and as soon as he went to the court, he set off a monstrous wave.
After the early dynasty, the whole city was under martial law, the Praetorian Guards walked the streets and alleys, many high-ranking families fell once, and the cries and shouts were continuous, casting a shadow on the entire city, and the old surname under the canopy of the sky was silent.
On the second floor of the letter, Tian Mi looked at the chaos downstairs, and her eyes were a little worried.
The second emperor fell on this, but she knew that it was not over yet.
On the other side, Yuan Hua's angry face was slightly solemn, and he said to Tian Mi: "The girl has to be more careful recently, the situation is unstable, don't be implicated." (To be continued)
