Chapter 157: Pick-up Matters

Yun Jinghua was shocked, "The Six Princes of Xiyue and the Prince of Daliang? What are they doing in Tiansheng? ”

"It turns out that you still don't know that Gong Xiaotian is fifty years old this year and is going to celebrate his fiftieth birthday, and he sent someone to send invitations to the two lords, and both lords have sent credentials, saying that they want to attend his birthday banquet.

But the two lords of the country are people who have a lot of opportunities, how can they leave the government and come all the way to Tiansheng to celebrate their birthday? The person who celebrates his birthday is naturally the prince who is deeply respected and trusted by them. ”

Zhuge Wuwei said, looking at her faintly.

The courtyard was dimly lit, only the faint moonlight from the sky, and the outline of his chin could hardly be seen, but those eyes were brighter than the stars in the sky, like two dark fires jumping, and her heart trembled.

"As far as I know, the six princes of Xiyue are the ones who wanted to marry Tiansheng in the first place, and you were given to him by Gong Xiaotian. When he came this time, I am afraid that he does not plan to return to Xiyue empty-handed, and will ask Gong Xiaotian to give him Mu Jinxiu to marry. When the time comes, it should be interesting to have a look at the dinner party. ”

She raised her eyebrows, thinking to herself if this guy sincerely invited her to Gong Xiaotian's birthday banquet, or did he have some other idea?

Zhuge Wuwei saw through her mind and smiled faintly. "Anyway, it's still some time, you can think about it slowly. When you think about it and think I'm not having a bad idea, it's not too late for you to tell me your decision. ”

Is it? Then she thought slowly, she wanted to see if he really had some kind of idea.

With a decision in her heart, she asked casually: "When is Gong Xiaotian's birthday?" ”

"May fifteen, there are still fourteen days, and fourteen days should be enough time for you to think about it." Zhuge Wuwei leaned on his wheelchair to leisurely enjoy the scenery under the moonlight, and his fingers played with the jade wrench.

"Fourteen days, that's enough." She echoed in her subtlety.

"I'm going to the court tomorrow morning, do you want to enter the palace with me?"

"What are you going to do with me? When the time comes, you will take a nap in the Jinluan Palace, but I will have to stand outside and wait for you in a proper manner, and I will go with you if I am stupid. ”

"It's too boring to go."

"......" Yun Jinghua was speechless, and she knew that Lu Dao still let her go, this person was really not a good person.

Zhuge Wuwei was thinking in his heart at this time, if he went to the court, it would take half an hour to say the least, if she didn't go, he would have to keep a long distance from her for half an hour, and he couldn't feel her breath, hear her voice, see her, and think about him a little uncomfortable.

What to do? From now on, does he want to tie her up and take her with him, and take her with him wherever he goes? Without the feeling that she was within ten feet of him, he felt unaccustomed to it just thinking about it.

After standing for a while, feeling a little sleepy, Yun Jinghua said: "It's better for the Prime Minister to rest early, don't miss the time of the early dynasty, I'm sleepy, so I'll go and rest first, and don't disturb the adults to enjoy the moon." ”

"Hmm." Zhuge Wuwei responded softly, listening to her brisk footsteps in the distance, and then listening to the creaking of the door being closed, and smiled silently.

There aren't many simple and quiet days like this......

======

The next day, the sky was slightly dark, and some dark clouds floated in the sky above Yecheng, like heavy black mountains pressing on.

The farmers who are looking forward to a better harvest this year are happy in their hearts, because it has not rained in Yecheng for a long time, and if it doesn't rain, this year's rice will not be able to fall into the field.

Today, however, the courtiers of the court felt that the cloud was like a boulder pressing on the tip of their hearts, crumbling, and they might lose their balance and fall on their feet at any point.

Gong Xiaotian was sitting in the dragon chair, his majestic gaze swept over everyone under the jade steps, and said: "In a few days, the six princes of Xiyue and the prince of Daliang should enter Beijing. ”

Ministers, you look at me, I look at you, and then they all withdrew their eyes and stared intently at the feet and three inches under their feet, and no one came out to take the initiative to take on this arduous burden.

It's not that they're useless, it's that those two are not ordinary characters, no more than ordinary visiting envoys, and they can't make a mistake.

One of the two is known as the Jade Buddha with a thousand faces, with a deep and elusive temperament, and the other is from the northern barbarians, who are rampant and bloodthirsty, and they are all characters that should not be underestimated and difficult to parry. If you are not careful, I am afraid that you will be accused of snubbing the princes of other countries, and the light ones will be degraded and punished, and the heavy ones may be the lives of the whole family if you are not careful.

At such a life-threatening moment, who would joke with their own head in order to be in the limelight?

When Emperor Xiaotian's gaze swept to him, Gong Ying Ye took the initiative to come out. "Father, the son is willing to go to meet the prince of Daliang."

"Hmm." Gong Xiaotian nodded, and then his gaze continued to move, searching for capable ministers who could take on great responsibilities among the courtiers, and finally, stopped on Zhuge Wuwei.

"Prime Minister, the matter of welcoming the six princes of Xiyue, I'm afraid I'm going to bother you to go out."

Zhuge Wuwei raised his head when he heard the voice, his eyes met him lightly, and after a while, he said: "It is the honor of the minister to share the emperor's worries, and the minister will definitely live up to the emperor's trust." ”

"Then this matter will have Prime Minister Lao Aiqing."

The candidate for the driver was finalized, and everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and their eyes unconsciously looked at Zhuge Wuwei's position.

It is said that Helian Zheng is arrogant and domineering, and he never takes anyone in his eyes except his father and mother, even his brothers and sisters, he has never given a good face.

They also heard that Helian Zheng was very disdainful of them as southerners, and every time he saw them, he would compare each other in various ways and trample on the soles of his feet.

This is also the direct reason why they didn't dare to take on the heavy responsibility for anything, and Emperor Xiaotian didn't force one of them to take the order, because they were afraid that they would lose Tiansheng's national prestige on the day they were driving.

But now that they have him, they all feel very relieved, if he is to deal with Helian Zheng, they can't get any bargain from him.

"Time is running out, and then the Ministry of Rites will arrange the post house where the Prince of Xiyue and the Prince of Daliang stay, and be sure to check every place carefully, and there must be no mistakes."

The secretary of the Ministry of Rites immediately came out, "The emperor can rest assured, the minister will lead all the people in the Ministry of Rites to implement the birthday banquet, and there will be no mistakes!" ”

"That's very good." After Gong Xiaotian finished speaking, he glanced at Gonggong Li on the side, and Gonggong Li took a few steps forward with understanding, and shouted: "If there is something to play, there is nothing to retreat!" ”

"Ministers send the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor!"

The civil and military officials knelt on the ground, Gong Xiaotian drove away, and when Minghuang's figure disappeared on the jade steps, the ministers got up and left the court in an orderly manner.

There is a purple figure still in the afterglow, Zhuge Wuwei doesn't need to turn his head to know who that person is.
