In the afternoon, the cicada was happy, and the young eunuch Ren stood on the nine-curved bamboo bridge in front of the Taixi Tower, looking at the swimming fish under the water with an expressionless face.

"Chiming."

Zhu Muzhao wore a purple and green robe, walked from the cobblestone road, and followed a black-clothed guard with a knife with a cold expression a few steps behind him.

"Taishu." Ren Qiming bowed his head and saluted, and when he saw the heavy clothes on his boss, he knew that he had just come out of the palace.

"Why don't you stand here, don't go in and sit and wait." Zhu Muzhao said him gently.

"Xia Guan saw that there were a few thousand carp in this pond, and there seemed to be a few missing." Ren Qiming said.

Zhu Muzhao smiled, and there was a hint of helplessness in his voice: "The day before yesterday, Yin Xiang came, and when he left, he asked for it, and this seat asked him to salvage it by himself, but who knew that he disregarded his identity, pulled his clothes and went down to the pool in person, and caught four or five in one go." ”

Ren Qiming's rigid face showed a little smile and said, "Yin Xiang is a wonderful person. ”

The two prime ministers of the DPRK and China, if Xue Lingnan is notoriously unkind, then Yin Tianhou is a well-known old naughty boy.

At the age of sixty-one, there are few prime ministers who are still crying with the emperor in the court and pretending to be pitiful.

The two walked into the hall, and the black-clothed guards stood guard outside the building

As soon as Zhu Muzhao sat down, he sighed, and he didn't smile at all.

Seeing this, Ren Qiming asked: "The Holy Lord's edict to you to enter the palace today, is it to ask about the female operator?" ”

"Other than that, there's nothing else to do." Zhu Muzhao said tiredly, "The Furong gentleman's banquet is over, and in just a few days, there will be a storm in the city, and now who doesn't know that this female operator knows how to break the thaumaturgy, and even the emperor has heard of it." Inevitably, the Sacred Heart is shaken and wants to see him. ”

Ren Qiming frowned slightly: "The Holy Lord wants to see her in person?" ”

"Let me finally persuade me," Zhu Muzhao shook his head, and said slowly: "Originally, after worshipping the ancestors, the identity of the life-breaker was confirmed, and the saint had an opinion to see him, but meeting a half-time Yi master for no reason would arouse suspicion, so he gave up, who knew that such a strange thing would happen again." Just used as an excuse. Hiding people's eyes and ears, the saint moved his mind again, and said that he wanted to edict her to enter the palace and borrow the matter of divination. Seal her an official position. ”

Listen to him say the word "lifebreaker". There was no surprise on Ren Qiming's face. Obviously, he is also an insider about the great safety woe!

"Didn't you leave a position for this female operator a long time ago? Isn't it just right, have you ever proposed it to the Holy One? ”

Zhu Muzhao nodded, "Zhengchou has no chance to appoint, although she is the top three in the two lists, but her qualifications are still shallow, and the appointment letter will be lowered, I am afraid that it will arouse doubts, but she herself knows that she wants to come out, and she has shown that kind of ability in public, and she will be crowned an official in the future, and she will also have a saying, there will not be too much criticism, after all, who will not accept the thaumaturgy of breaking the death." ”

Ren Qiming thought for a while, and then asked, "Do you want to tell Daozi about this matter?" ”

"Don't have to," Zhu Muzhao raised his eyebrows, the emperor personally promised Jingchen that he would not force him to marry the lifebreaker before finding out the gang of traitors, but the report he heard in the past two days, the gap between Yu Shu and Jingchen has not been repaired so far.

According to this situation, it really doesn't matter, and it seems that there is no end in sight for them to be happy and happy.

"The lifebreaker has been found, Jingchen doesn't have to continue to stay in the Taishi Academy, I propose to the saint to transfer him to Si Tianjian first, take over Mrs. Lu's position, and then issue a letter of appointment to Yu Shu, in the future, they will be in the Kunling Bureau, the boss and subordinates, see each other every day, it is difficult not to be affectionate."

At the beginning, Jingchen would parachute into the Taishi Academy, and it was Zhu Muzhao who used the secret method of asking divination to calculate the calamity from him, and speculated that the lifebreaker was in the Taishi Academy, so he made him go.

"Taishu is thoughtful." Ren Qiming agreed.

Zhu Muzhao looked at the inscription on the jade case for a while, and then turned around and said:

"The day before yesterday, Prime Minister Yin came to discuss the war in northern Xinjiang with me."

"Huh?"

"A few months ago, you and I stargazed, divined that the north changed the sky and swallowed the void, the disaster stars moved recklessly, and the peace will be closed. Two months ago, the six Jurchens in the Northeast invaded, and Jiang Huaiying, the king of Dongjing, used the excuse to recruit troops, and in half a month, he cleared the border troubles, but this soldier and horse, but he was not dispersed, and the saint was afraid of his high merit, and Xue Xiangyin consulted, and decided to marry the beloved daughter of the king of Xiang, but the saint was uneasy, so that the queen made a decree and sent it to the north, and found an excuse to invite the queen mother and sister of Dongjing to enter Beijing. ”

The title of King Dong Jing has been passed down for three generations, tracing back to Jiang Huaiying's ancestor, who is a relative of Xizong, his maternal great-grandmother was once the queen, and in his generation, the blood relationship has been thin.

Jiang Huaiying is nearly thirty years old, he has not married a wife, his father died in battle, his mother is named Mrs. Weiguo, in addition to the two sisters and brothers, there is only one younger sister who is the closest.

This time, the emperor summoned Jiang Huai to win his relatives after the fake queen, undoubtedly with the idea of taking hostages.

Hearing this, Ren Qiming's face showed a different color: "Is Jiang Huai willing to win?" ”

Perennial Zhenbei, the Jiang family works hard, and the king of Dongjing is famous, but the northeast is cold, and the four seasons are very cold, how can it be compared to the prosperity of Kyoto, Jiang Huaiying is stationed every year, if he does not have a little dissent, who believes it?

Zhu Muzhao closed his eyes: "This seat divides a hexagram, and people are already on the way." ”

"King Dongjing's mind is hard to guess."

The two of them were silent, for the unknown disaster star in the north.

***

Yu Shu walked around the new house in the north of the city, and it was already dusk.

Zhou Hu followed her and reported the deeds of the craftsmen these days one by one.

The four-in-three-door courtyard is a mansion, with two courtyards in the north and south, and two small gardens with its own.

In just a month, seven or eight were picked up, the soil and lime were cleaned, and only the painters were left, and it could be completed in half a month at most.

Yu Shu saw that the garden was clean inside and out, and he was very satisfied.

In order to move in early, I asked Zhou Hu to find a pen and paper, write down the corridors of the doors, go back today, and study the feng shui furnishings carefully, and wait for that set of crystal jewelry to be sold, and then buy bonsai flowers and trees, gold, stone and jade and other things.

"You're in charge of things well, you're just a bare-bones commander, and no one is calling you," Yu Shu praised Zhou Hu who was busy with her, and said with a smile:

"When it's finished, let's go to the courtyard again, buy some slaves and come back to teach, and send you some men."

Zhou Hu smiled heartily and bowed his hand to Yu Shu: "Listen to the girl's arrangement." ”

Yu Shu came out of the house and walked to the gate, where he saw Jing Chen, who was standing on the steps and staring at the old servant guarding the door, raised his eyebrows, and walked over.

"Why haven't you left yet?"

She went in for an hour, with the scorching sun on her head, and he just stood here waiting?

"Xiaoyu," Jingchen saw that Yu Shu finally came out, his expression relaxed, and he looked at her tightly, and couldn't help but show a little grievance:

"I'm waiting for you."

Yu Shu glanced at him thoughtfully, and said as he walked out:

"You come with me."

Jing Chen thought it was a mistake, blinked his eyes a few times, and saw that she got into the carriage, so he hurriedly led the horse to follow, only to feel that this afternoon, there was no waiting in vain. (To be continued......)
