Chapter 245: The Prime Minister's Covenant
Tian Mi got into the carriage and went to a courtyard.
Kyoto's gardens are square and atmospheric, especially in winter, when the houses and gardens are covered with snow, and there is no greenery, and the eyes are full of ice carved silver trees.
Tian Mi followed the maidservant on the snow-swept road, the verandah was deep, and she went around many bends before she saw the island in the center of the ice lake.
There are gazebos on the island, and there are two people in the pavilions.
Tian Mi is not tall, but she is wrapped in a thick winter coat, but she does not look round, and the girl under the heavy cloak is becoming more and more delicate.
It is this Jiao that makes it more difficult for people to associate her with those rumors.
Cui Xiyan saw the one in the snow slowly approaching, his body was delicate, but he had a pair of strange eyes, when he looked at people, he seemed to be very focused, he couldn't help laughing, got up and smiled: "The girl is here." ”
"Your Excellency." Tian Mi honestly bent her knees, and after getting up, she looked at the smiling young prime minister a little inexplicably, and really didn't understand why he smiled when he saw her? Does she look likable? Round noodle people? It's like the sugar man that Xuan Heng gave her?
In her impression, only the sugar man sent by Xuan Heng will make people laugh involuntarily when they see it.
Xuan Heng ......
Tian Mi looked at the northwest for a while, her long and curly eyelashes cast shadows in her eyes, and the light in her eyes was half dark and half shallow, deep and clear.
Cui Xiyan's eyes were even more interested, the corners of his lips were gently hooked, and he asked the maid to add a thick cushion to the stone bench, and after the maid retreated, he beckoned, "Girl, please take a seat." ”
"Thank you, sir." Tian Mi sat down on the stone bench, tightened her cloak, looked at him with clear eyes, the corners of her lips slightly opened, and asked in a clear voice: "Your Excellency summoned you this time, but is it to talk about military donations?" ”
"I didn't bring my colleagues, you didn't bring my companions, and only the two of us discussed this matter, at most we reached a preliminary opinion." Cui Xiyan glanced at Tian Chuan, who was sitting on the side, and said to Tian Mi: "I summoned you two this time." But there is something more important. ”
Tian Mi glanced at Tian Chuan, and saw that the man was sitting upright like a stuffy gourd, and when he saw her, he nodded to her almost invisibly.
She withdrew her gaze. looked at Cui Xiyan with a smile and said, "I don't know what's going on?" ”
"Northwest Frontier, Xuan Shizi's matter." Seeing that the girl's face really changed, Cui Xiyan couldn't help laughing, he said with a smile: "Two months ago, Xuan Shizi, who had won consecutive battles, suddenly lost two games in a row. After that, no matter how well planned the march, the enemy was always able to deal with it as if it had been known in advance. ”
Knowing in advance? Tian Mi's face was shocked, her eyebrows frowned, and then, her eyes were full of anger, and her chest was bulging.
She pursed her lips and looked at Tagawa.
For such an important matter, Xuan Heng didn't even say half a word to her. No, it should be, since he said "don't wait for me", he hasn't written a word more than a word with her, even if it's a letter.
Even if he hasn't seen him for a year, Tian Chuan's temper is also clear, and seeing her like this, he can't help but hurt the pond fish. couldn't help but snort: "Brother Xuan, no, don't let me, I'm afraid you'll worry about ......"
"He's afraid I won't forget him, right? There are a lot of good men. After Tian Mi finished her anger, she saw Cui Xiyan who couldn't help laughing in a blink of an eye. She immediately closed her mouth tightly and said half-heartedly: "Let the Prime Minister laugh." ”
Cui Xiyan laughed in a low voice, his eyebrows were sparse, and when he smiled, he was like a pear blossom blooming in ten thousand trees, clean and peaceful. Very pleasant.
"The girl is a funny person." Cui Xiyan was originally a person with a light and elegant color, however, this kind of lightness does not seem indifferent, but is closer to peace, he smiled calmly: "There are good generals in the north, and there are righteous businessmen in the south, I have long heard of the girl's good name, and I have always been curious about what the girl looks like, and I ...... see it today."
In Tian Mi's wide eyes, he smiled again and said with a smile: "It is indeed unusual. ”
How did she think that this unusual was not like a boast?
The other party is the prime minister, so she naturally won't speak casually, in fact, what she wants to know more now is - is that person injured, is everything okay?
As if he could read minds, Cui Xiyan saw her stunned eyes, so he continued: "The prince has experienced a hundred battles, so he naturally quickly understood the key, but this ghost is cunning and treacherous, dragging him back a lot, and the war is stalemate, and it consumes manpower and materials. ”
Tian Mi bit her lip, lowered her head, her eyes fell on the void, and she said in a slightly indifferent tone: "Others are at the border, the prime minister told me this, what can I do?" ”
After a pause, she raised her head and took a deep breath, and said, "What I can do, I have already done, but I just make sure that he has no worries, and the rest can only be for him to charge." ”
Gathering these military supplies, is to pour the power of the whole state, Baixin is now all over the country, she as the people's big boss, not a hundred responses, at least, those businessmen in Qingzhou who are holding the handle, are not afraid to not, and with their echo, where do others dare not follow? What's more, Xuanheng has indeed done practical things for Qingzhou, and the people are really grateful. That's why this great contribution has been made.
Cui Xiyan naturally knew how difficult it was to gather such a huge amount of armaments and materials, and it was precisely because of this that he would personally receive them, and he also had a good impression of the group from the very beginning.
"The girl is already amazing, but according to the official, there is still a lot that the girl can do." Cui Xiyan had a deep smile in his eyes, and he said: "The army is full of generals, and all they think about is to protect their families and defend the country, what are the benefits of being a traitor to them?" Therefore, the ghosts in this army are naturally instructed by someone. ”
Who instructed it? Tian Mi is really puzzled, press, the matter of the ghost is definitely a secret among secrets, right? Xuan Heng didn't treat her, but the prime minister who met for the first time was very detailed, why is this?
She couldn't help but laugh and said, "Does the Prime Minister think that I, a woman who has just arrived in Kyoto, can find out the truth more easily than you?" ”
Cui Xiyan smiled silently, he pointed to the calm ice surface to Tian Mi, a few moments, his fingers moved, I don't know what to bounce down, that thing is obviously not big, but it easily broke the ice, splashing a lot of ice and splashes.
Tian Mi couldn't help but raise her eyebrows, and said secretly, the prime minister is also a hidden person.
Cui Xiyan pointed to that place and said with a smile: "This ice lake is Kyoto, and the girl is the stone." ”
"It doesn't matter if the girl has just arrived in Kyoto, the important thing is that the girl is a big boss and has a lot of wealth." The corners of his lips were slightly raised, and he said with a smile: "Wealth is such a thing, and there is no one under it who is not rare." Girl, are you still afraid that the fish won't take the bait? ”
So, is she the bait? However, the Prime Minister didn't ask if the bait was willing?
Seeing Tian Mi lowered her eyebrows and was silent. Cui Xiyan had a smile in his eyes, and he smiled very peacefully: "The safety of the prince depends on the girl." ”
Tian Mi looked at Cui Xiyan, and only felt that the smile in his eyes flashed and was very bright. It's a little glaring, however, she really can't take him, they all eat her.
Xuanheng that guy, but he left after going in and out with her, and after a little inquiry, he knew everything.
If she denies it again, she will be hypocritical.
Almost invisibly lamented for herself, Tian Mi's eyes flashed with cold light, but the corners of her lips smiled slightly. asked the person who made her upset: "Then the prime minister thinks how should a woman catch this fish?" ”
Cui Xiyan smiled even more, but only said, "Why does the girl have to do anything on purpose?" Those who wish take the bait. ”
What is this called? How can there be a feeling of being sold and having to count the money for someone?
Cui Xiyan seems to be a very easy-going person, but why does she think this person is treacherous?
She smiled and said, "Adults believe in women like this? ”
"This official has passed." Cui Xiyan had a deep smile in his eyes, and said brazenly and flatteringly: "The girl is extraordinary, the prince kills the enemy on the battlefield, although the girl can't be on par with him, but she can also fight side by side with him in another form." The officer believes that with the girl's ability, she will be able to live up to her mission. ”
What a mission. She doesn't hold the golden job bowl of the imperial court, just because of someone, she has to contribute because she paid money for nothing.
Someone owes her, and she can only pay it back for a lifetime.
"I'll take notice." That's the promise.
Tian Mi really felt that there shouldn't be too many words with this prime minister who seemed to have good words. So, she said helplessly: "It's okay to be a military quartermaster now, right?" ”
"Please also ask the girl to move, the others have already arrived." Cui Xiyan got up and explained: "When I invited the girl to come, I invited my official's colleagues and the girl's companions, now. They should all be in the council chamber. ”
Cui Xiyan kept laughing, not the kind of smile that was as light as smoke, but interesting, as if Tian Mi had entertained him greatly.
Tian Mi was calculated, and she didn't want to walk with others, she deliberately took two steps behind, walked beside Tian Chuan, looked at him with a smile with those big and surprisingly big eyes, and saw that he hung his head.
Xuan Heng doesn't report it, Tian Chuan doesn't report it, these two guys are very good.
Seeing this, Cui Xiyan saw this, and the smile in his eyes deepened, but he remembered very well that the new Tanhualang, although he was old, was a calm and indifferent character, and he ignored everyone, but in front of her sister, he seemed to be a babbling son, which was really interesting.
With Tian Mi to Beijing there are Yan Ming, Yuan Hua, Boss Zhang and others, the three masters Yan Ming has a big boss in Kyoto Qingyun, Yuan Hua's business did Kyoto as early as a year ago, Boss Zhang is also an important person because he provides medical materials for the army, so he followed.
Most of the officials led by Prime Minister Cui Xiyan belong to the Ministry of Households, and Wan Yousheng is also on duty in the Ministry of Households, and Ah Qian is among them because he once served as the Department of Supervision and Examination, and later served as the Imperial History, so as to facilitate the exercise of the responsibility of supervision.
Since ancient times, the donation has been at the behest of the donor, so that the two parties are not bargaining, but agreeing on the details of the delivery and the distribution of transportation, etc., there is no big contradiction, and the negotiation is quite smooth.
It was a few days before it was agreed, and the court specially invited her to listen to the decree in order to show her solemnity.
Tian Mi knew that the last court's listening to the decree was not only a compliment to them, but the most important thing was that it was for the subordinates to see, which not only showed the emperor's bearing, but also: Look, Qingzhou has donated, and you still don't express it?
She knew it all and accepted it calmly, because, when talking to the prime minister, she also mentioned one thing - whether the conditions are good, everything is good, anyway, she has to contribute money and efforts, no matter who she is for, it is always the court that benefits, even if it is the court, it has to show something, right? To be continued.
