Chapter Ninety-Five: Clever Choices

“…… Can the minister ask the general why? The messenger said.

"If he wants to go back, just go back! Eagle owls should fly on the clouds, fish should flow in the water, cattle and sheep should graze on the grassland, right? Yun Jian made a pun.

The messenger wants to say yes, but that is tantamount to acknowledging the subtext of Cloud Sword: people on the grassland should not covet the Central Plains!

The Messenger wanted to say something wrong, but he didn't have the eloquence to refute it.

He had no choice but to smile dryly and continue to get to the point: this is a matter of jointly controlling sandstorms......

Yun Jian said that he would definitely convey it to the emperor.

At this time, although Jincheng was not recovered, the situation around the capital had calmed. The four-way soldiers and horses encircled and suppressed Jincheng, and it was a matter of minutes to get it back. Yun Jian did not continue to go south, and stayed in the east of Weicheng. The proposal of the Beihu messenger, Yun Jian forwarded it to Cui Heng as it was, Cui Heng smiled and criticized: "They are called ministers and tribute, this matter is negotiable." ”

All of this made Cui Heng feel very good.

The second prince said that when the difficulties pass, the national strength will be more prosperous, which is really good! Cui Heng specially commended the second prince.

The Queen Mother's fast, of course, is over. On the last day, in order to celebrate the happy event of the country, the three emperors rehearsed a dance of worship, Hercules as King Kong, the three emperors as Feitian, and danced in the ring of King Kong's palm, which was light and beautiful, and the Queen Mother nodded again and again, and even shed a tear.

After this dance, Cui Heng knocked on the steps and respectfully asked the Queen Mother to return to the palace and enable a little nourishing diet. The estrangement between mother and son has come to an end. It's as if it never happened. Flip it gently.

Even the other people who were arrested in "Ah Handa" were Qiu Huitian, and the emperor and the queen mother no longer mentioned them, as if these people never existed.

Cui Heng actually knew that it was a mistake to arrest them. They were not salt dealers, let alone robbers. It's just working with robbers in a firm...... The white sand is in Nirvana, and it is black with it. Who told them to mix together! Catch it, just catch it.

At that time, he still wanted to keep this group of people to threaten Lin Dai's submission, so he couldn't let it go.

Later, he lost interest in Lin Dai, but Die Xiaohua interceded for others, so he thought about letting people go, right? As a result, Butterfly Xiaohua was chased away by the Queen Mother! Cui Heng and the Queen Mother had a cold war, and they left those people dry.

For the Queen Mother, she didn't feel that she had done anything wrong at all. Cui Heng is the emperor! Can you women, but can you sleep in dramas? Not to mention that the Seventh Prince also sleeps. Can the emperor be the same as the Seventh Prince? What's more, the Seventh Prince is still good now!

In a word. The Queen Mother gritted her silver teeth and made an iron heart: that drama must be killed! It's really a curse to the country.

Besides. The group of business men in prison are all stains on the emperor's holy name, and they must be washed away.

The Queen Mother felt that killing it was the cleanest way to wash it.

Who knew that when they were taken out and beheaded, they were robbed and rescued from prison?

The Queen Mother thought that the emperor did it. Regret in my heart. But Cui Hengming didn't expose it to her on the face. She puts the big picture first. I had to pretend that there was no such thing.

How do you know that Cui Heng is also wronged! Cui Heng didn't send anyone to rob the prison!

When Cui Heng knew the information. That is, the group of business guys disappeared. The word "disappear" is really remarkable. The meaning behind it is so rich. Cui Heng's brain hole was too big, and he directly thought that the Queen Mother did it. But the Queen Mother didn't understand it on her face, Cui Heng put the overall situation first. I had to pretend that there was no such thing.

Even the whereabouts of Butterfly Xiaohua were no longer mentioned between the emperor and the queen, as if he had never appeared in the world.

In fact, in addition to helping Yun Jian keep the tiger talisman, Wanliu also helped him keep the butterfly.

That half of the Tiger Talisman is fine. It doesn't look like a foot has been cut off.

Alas! Isn't it a tiger carved out of wood? If it weren't for the half of the emperor's side and the half of Yun Jian's side together, who would have been able to tell that this half was not that half? Zhang Shenxian found another piece of wood to cut a tiger's feet and took it to the barracks, and those Beihu also recognized it! It's really not enough to use your brains.

Speaking of which, who can compare with the cunning of the Central Plains?

The cunning of these outsiders, who think they have a plan, is as clear as if they were holding a pen and writing it on their faces: "I have turned another corner here!" Wow I'm awesome! ”

When they thought like this, the people of the Central Plains had already turned around the nine bends and eighteen bends.

In short, now, Cloud Sword is temporarily stranded to the east of Weicheng. The emperor's grace can make some soldiers go home for the New Year. But Yun Jian himself is not easy to return. A general who leads troops on the frontier! The military situation does not pick holidays, which is also a way to help. The emperor specially sent someone to comfort Yun Jian and made some promises. Yun Jian replied in general: The man is ambitious in all directions! It is a supreme honor to protect the frontier for the country! What is this...... But there are good wines that you can bring more.

The emperor heard this and laughed.

The Queen Mother pondered: Do you want to tell the emperor that Die Xiaohua is actually at Xie Yunjian's? The people around Xie Yunjian also killed the master she sent!

Alas, forget it, it's so easy for the emperor not to mention that play, why did she mention it? What's more, if there is a conflict between the emperor and the generals stationed on the border, it will not be good for the overall situation!

She held back.

The weather is getting colder day by day, and the New Year is approaching.

The Han people are busy. Rong people are also busy. The New Year of the Rong people is not the same as the Han people in the Central Plains, and it is also lively after all, and one of the most important items is that every family should post a picture for the gods.

There are many gold, silver and jewelry in Xirong, and their customs are especially decorative. Those tables, basins, and pots can be delicately painted, similar to the cloisonne of the Central Plains, or Suzhou embroidery. However, imagine that all the fine needles and fine coins of Suzhou embroidery are made of gold and silver, and the color on cloisonné is not limited to blue, but all kinds of gemstones are ground into color powder and filled in. You know how magnificent it is!

However, these beautiful bottles and pots are not used for daily use, but are only used for the gods. Under the gods, the palace of King Rong can also be furnished. Further down, the princes' mansions can also be used with inferior quality. Not anymore.

Ordinary people also buy these treasures, and even make them with their own hands, but they are not used daily, so they just offer them to the gods.

Their offering to the table can be called brilliant. During the New Year, it is a festival to glorify their gods, and everything good is put out and posted. The paintings used, think about it, can they be bad?

It's really as distinct as it can be, and as rich as it can be, it's as rich as it gets!

This year, many families posted some new words with words, and said: "Drip Qiu Ko for Qiu Mud!" ”

Meaning: The daily blessings accumulate into eternal blessings.

They fill in a piece of color every day to complete the Chinese New Year's painting.

――Hey, fill in a little bit every day, doesn't that sound familiar?

That's right, that's right! Ahan's main coloring painting is like this! Print the outline of the drawing first, and then let the customer fill in the color by himself. There are also some auspicious words in the color box, which will only be revealed after the color is used up. These words can be picked out and glued to the picture to become couplets, titles, and annotations.

This new idea, which has been remodeled and entered Xirong, is very popular.

The paintings of the Rong people are indeed too exquisite, too time-consuming to make, and too expensive to sell. Ordinary Rong people want to paint by themselves, but they are afraid that they will not be able to paint well.

The semi-finished "coloring painting" is very popular.

It's just that for Xijon, the paints used for these paintings are more valuable. They use color, not flowers to squeeze out juice, grass to squeeze juice, or even fish and insects to squeeze out juice...... Worship God isn't enough!

They are particular about gold and silver, as well as all kinds of precious stones. Gold is gold, silver is silver, needless to say, there are rubies crushed into red powder, lapis lazuli crushed into green powder, and so on.

Ordinary people, with the full amount of eight treasure color, can't afford to use it, just use metal powder, mixed in some other ore powder, not so valuable, but it can be used. And it's some real gold and silver...... Reputedly.

With such a set of drawing tools, the price will go up!

The people still think it's cheap and cost-effective!

They can paint by themselves, so they save the money for painting. Originally, they were worried that they would be ugly, but the outlines of the coloring drawings were typed and the toners were numbered, so they could draw them themselves!

The ore powder for these coloring paintings is mass-produced and affordable.

This batch, Yun Ke and they have made a lot of money-

Oh yes, Yunke!

When Xirong united with Beihu to fight the Central Plains, Yun Ke and Qingqiao were behind the army. The territory laid by the army, Yun Ke went to be the commander. Entering someone's mansion, sitting on someone's bed, opening someone's box, looking at the gold, silver and jewelry that others haven't had time to take away, and Qingqiao said with emotion: "Yo, I'm also an official." ”

"Mu Monkey and Crown." Qingqiao laughed at him.

"You can also make idioms." Yun Ke felt very relieved.

The two laughed for a moment, and Qingqiao said, "Look at our dog man and woman." ”

"Hey." Yun Ke protested.

"Who told us to surrender?" Qingqiao shrugged.

"Who called Boss Butterfly so powerful, and we happened to find out?" Yun Ke was also helpless.

It was when Die Xiaohua openly sold smuggled salt to Xirong, and when she had a hot fight with her compatriots through commercial negotiations, and she didn't know how much information was passed on and how many strategies were set, Yun Ke saw that this was not an ordinary business dealing. In fact, Ah Hu and his wife also saw it. But they almost didn't debunk it. Besides, they are too tendonous, if they really want to know the truth, they are dumbfounded, how do they know what to do?

Yun Ke knew what to do. He took this important handle, and if he used it well, he would be promoted to a knight, and if he didn't use it well, he would hurt his own life. He's smart, and of course he knows how to make trade-offs!

Butterfly Xiaohua used him.

When the Rong people marched, he was able to follow behind and pick the cheapest.

Even before the Rong people sent out the army, he went to Weicheng and other places to mine, report money, and bewitch the people, and he did everything he could. After the Rong people gain power, he can get the fat shortage.

"It's a bad name for you," Yun Ke said to Qing Qiao apologetically, "What should I do?" (To be continued......)
