On the tenth day of the first month of March, the sky was high and the clouds were light, and it was a good sunny day.

In the Yongning Temple, the nine-level floating map of a hundred zhang high is towering into the clouds, the golden brake is the sun, the brocade pillar swallows the wind, it is really a magnificent scene.

Come to Yongning Temple to worship the Buddha is not a noble family, after burning incense Tai half will come to climb the tower and look far away, a heart. It's strange today, the temple said that it was closed for half a day, and it was not given to climb the tower.

There is that arrogant person, regardless of the monks in the temple good words and persuasion, but want to run to the tower to take a look, the result is all stupid and returned--- it turns out that at this moment under the tower, there are nearly 100 armor soldiers lined up around the tower, idle people are not allowed to approach, let alone climb the tower.

The nobles are always a little unwilling, and when they inquired around, they learned that today it was the princess of the plains who went to the temple to burn incense.

"Princess of the Plains?" Someone wondered: "I've never seen her have such a big pomp before, right?" Hundreds of ironclad guards, tsk, the queen's trip is nothing more than that. ”

"Don't you know, today it's not only the princess of the plains who came, it seems to have come with her, but also the Kansai Daxing Taiyu Wentai."

"No wonder! I heard that Yuwentai was very much loved by His Majesty, and specially allocated a hundred guards to protect him in Luoyang. In this way, this dry armor guard should be brought by Yuwentai. ”

"Princess Pingyuan came to Yongning Temple to burn incense, why did she call Yuwentai to accompany her? Could it be ... ”

"Don't you hear that there are many rights and wrongs in front of the widow's door. . . ."

This dry wind and rumors, Yuwentai and Yuan Mingyue naturally couldn't hear it, at this time the two of them had finished worshipping the incense, and Shi Shiran went to the tower of Yongning Temple.

Yuan Zili brought a hundred armor guards to guard outside the tower. Six of the twelve Kansai guards went with Pei Guo to the city to welcome tribute, and the remaining six followed Yuwentai into the tower.

If you want to climb high and look far, you have to climb his three-story building first. When he arrived at the third level of Defutu, he went to the corridor outside the tower, and in a moment, Yuwentai and Yuan Mingyue glanced at each other, and said in unison: "It's too short!" ”

Yuwentai laughed loudly, and Yuan Mingyue also giggled, so he went one after the other, and then went to the fourth level. Before he could take two steps, Yuwentai suddenly turned around and said to the six iron guards: "Just a few of you just stay here, you don't need to follow." ”

"Whoa."

The fourth and fifth level Wu felt that he was not high enough, so he climbed three more floors in a row to reach the sixth level. When I looked out this time, most of Luoyang City was in the bottom of my eyes, and I couldn't find the slightest wind at the base of the tower.

Yuan Mingyue's forehead unconsciously had some beads of sweat, Yuwentai raised his hand lightly, wiped it for her with his sleeve, and said gently: "Do you want to rest for a while?" ”

Yuan Mingyue shook her head and smiled sweetly: "Go to the next level!" ”

The seventh level of the floating map goes to the outside, the people are like ants, the river is like a jade belt, and the shadow of the mountains in the north is pressed heavily, as if it is close at hand.

The breeze gusted, and the sideburns of Yuan Mingyue were cool, and it was indescribably comfortable. She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and heard the sound of the Nine Heavens Buddha in her ears, which was the 5,400 golden bells on the tower of Yongning Temple ringing in unison with the wind, which was not like the world.

Yuan Mingyue closed her eyes, her face was calm and gentle, but her hair flowed, her clothes fluttered, and she looked at it like an immortal... Yuwentai stood aside, looked at her quietly at this time, and suddenly felt intoxicated, and involuntarily learned the appearance of Yuan Mingyue, and closed his eyes to listen to the bell.

。。。。。。

On Tonghuo Street, the attic on the second floor of Shangshu Province suddenly opened the window and poked out the head of Shangshuling Yuanbao Torch. He looked around, and finally his eyes fell on the towering Yongning Temple Tower not far away, and then he made up his mind. He seemed to sigh, but there was still a smile between his eyebrows.

"Come, my lord, to look at this account. How does this work? How dare you do such nonsense? ”

In the attic, the first book and the book formed a hill, and the chief scholar and the eldest grandson of the Taifu sat in the "valley", holding a book of records spread out in his hand, and his face was gloomy.

Yuan Bao Ju came back to his senses in a daze, and walked over: "What made the eldest grandson unhappy?" ”

"Dongyu and Nanyan were hit by a snowstorm last winter, and the relief was approved early, why hasn't it been allocated yet?" Changsun Zhi stretched out two fingers, poked at a place in the record book, and frowned: "King, look at what is recorded here, it seems that all the money and food used for relief have been diverted for other purposes, not only that, but it has also been altered and altered, and I don't know where the money and food go... Tell me, is this still enough? ”

Yuan Bao Ju took a closer look, and suddenly laughed: "The eldest grandson is too worried." ”

"Why?"

"The scribbling and alteration here is the handwriting of my ingots torch, haha, it's really no wonder."

"This..." The eldest grandson was stunned.

"Don't hide it from the eldest grandson, this is Your Majesty's impatience, in addition to opening Hu Sichun's northern army and the left army of the eldest grandson, he also ordered me to quickly prepare for the establishment of the right army. You also know that when it comes to recruiting troops, spending money is naturally like flowing water. The inner child has long been empty, and there is no choice but to divert these insignificant money and food to use first. ”

How can it be said that it is not very important to give relief to the victims? The eldest grandson scolded him, and couldn't help but say: "There is no shortage of people in the labor force of Nongsang, how many strong men are there in this division?" If you continue to expand the army on such a large scale, you will have money and food, and I am afraid that you will not be able to attract people, right? ”

"Si Li is really cramped, and it is indeed a little tricky." Yuan Baoju nodded: "Fortunately, Your Majesty is generous, smashing up money and grain, and his eyes are not blinking, so as far as Henan Prefecture, as far as Hebei and Qingqi, there are people who come to vote." ”

The eldest grandson was stunned, and his brows furrowed more and more: "There are also people from Hebei and Qingqi who come to join the army?" ”

"Yes!" Yuan Baoju said with a smile: "There are many people who can't eat enough these days, why don't you come?" If you want to use all the local people, then how can you get so many soldiers and horses? Not to mention, the people of Hebei and Qingqi are a strong foot, and they are really the material to be soldiers. ”

Hiss! The eldest grandson Zhi gasped, jumped up on the spot, and shouted: "Nonsense! ”

Yuan Bao Ju was startled, and when he was about to speak, he heard Changsun Zhi already gushing: "The high thieves have been entrenched in Hebei and Qingqi for a long time, and it is really unpredictable to say that the people are there." Although I dare not say that the people of Hebei and Qingqi are all meticulous, but they have neither the burden of a small family nor the old elbow for no reason, how can such a person dare to be used as a guard? ”

For example, when the head stick is drunk, the ingots torch suddenly breaks into a cold sweat, and he is at a loss for what to do. When he saw the eldest grandson, he had already hurried to the stairs, and then he stomped his feet and shouted, "What are you doing here?" Why don't you go into the palace with me quickly? ”
