It had been a quarter of an hour since Tuoba Shen returned to the main hall with Lu Guang, and Li Biao, Zheng Daozhao and others were still waiting here at this time.

"Yu Qing, you will send this book immediately." Tuoba Shen motioned to Lu Guang to hand the bamboo tube sealed with wax to Yu Zhongdao: "It's past the time of Shen now, it's not too early, it's best to cross the river tonight." I think I will be able to get out of Qi in three days. ”

Yu Zhong took the bamboo tube and replied: "Xiaguan has arranged three personal soldiers, prepared a fast horse, this place is only twenty miles away from Jiangdu, out of Jiankang, Shangjiang can take the road to Langyadu in less than an hour." Before the day, I wanted to come to Guabu. ”

"That's good!" He said to Lu Guang again: "Lu Qing, you go and get ten gold, and give Yu Qingquan as the road fund." ”

。。。。。。。

After Zhong left, Tuoba Shen remembered what he had gained in the Jiankang Palace today, so he discussed the Jiankang Palace system with Li Biao and Jiang Shaoyou.

Tuoba Shen instructed Lu Guang to take pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and recorded what he saw and heard in the back of Jiankang Palace today with his memory, and drew a rough layout map for Jiang Shaoyou.

"Jiang Qing, although you are a Confucian scholar, you have a lot of ingenuity. The ceremonial system of the imperial court and the work of the city pavilion all depend on the hard work of Jiang Gong. I have already seen Lord Qi today, and we have prepared a courtesy. From tomorrow, Jiang Qing can be searched everywhere in Jiankang City, and if necessary, he can speak out. The wealth of the lone person is for public use, so don't worry about the insufficiency. ”

"Your Royal Highness Xie, the city system has been inspected, and the lower officials have already had a case. Just about to report to His Royal Highness, the lower officials are preparing to visit Jiankang Zhufang City and the royal road tomorrow, and the suburban temple belongs. ”

"Jiang Qing is here, so you can't do things alone" Tuoba Shen nodded and said: "Tomorrow Qing pay more attention, just look at the inconvenient places from a distance, don't let the Southern Dynasty treat us as intermediaries, if there is trouble, it will damage your dignity." ”

"Yes, Your Highness!"

。。。。。。

After all the things were dealt with, Tuoba Shen returned to his bed, asked Lu Guang to take the scroll, sat by the window, and prepared to continue to study his homework while there was still some time.

I looked at the book with my eyes and lifted the pen in my hand, but I felt that I couldn't concentrate for a while, and I thought back to what I had seen and heard in the past two days.

Although I didn't say anything to Xiao Yan after meeting him yesterday, Xiao Lao, as the first reigning emperor of the Southern Dynasty and the top ten reigning emperors in Chinese history. The impression that yesterday gave him, in appearance, was great. However, in his heart, there is also a deep scheming. Although the others are not known yet, only this point is far worse than the impression that Xiao Zhen gave him today, let alone the emperor of this dynasty.

Xiao Zhen gave him the impression that he was a person who was disciplined and knew how to advance and retreat. You can barely count it as an elder! It's just that now that he has entered old age, he has become an ordinary person who only thinks about enjoying his old age, although the emperor's profession gives him an unusual vision, but his old mentality is revealed from time to time. Xiao Zhen has now entered the old age, during this period, most people will be greedy for comfort, and few will have Cao Cao's ambition of "Lao Ji is in the bush and has ambitions for thousands of miles".

This dynasty is different, the emperor of this dynasty is in his prime, just like the newborn sun, it is the year of meritorious service. In the early years, he still had the queen mother's constraints, and he couldn't do things as he wanted, and now the queen mother has passed away, and he has accumulated power as an emperor for 20 years, and no one in the court can control it, and he is even more vigorous and resolute in doing things.

In addition, there is no big family gate valve in this dynasty that can influence the will of the imperial court to a certain extent, so that the will of the emperor is relatively more thorough. This is also one of the reasons why the emperor was able to complete the relocation of the capital, reform the official system, eliminate the Hu language, establish the gate valve system, and crusade against Rouran and the Southern Dynasties in ten years after he came to power alone.

Xiao Zhen's words, as long as he remains peaceful, this person is not worried, even if he is a tiger now, it is just a sleepy tiger, as long as he does not take a stick to stab him, he can sleep until the sky is dark. As for Xiao Luan, the feeling that this person gave him, in addition to being a little aggressive, also had a feeling of being a yin owl, but this was also in line with his impression that every time he killed the kings of the clan, he had to burn incense and cry before he started. Moreover, this person has only been in power for a few years, which is ten times worse than the old Weng Xiao Yan, who has been in power for forty or fifty years.

Speaking of today's court meeting, he has only seen Xiao Daocheng and Xiao Chen's sons, and there are five or six of Xiao Luan's clans, but he didn't see Xiao Yan, I think it was because of his low official position and he was not qualified to enter the palace.

Do you want to find a time to explore Xiao Yan? It's good to have an impression first.

Tuoba Shen tapped his fingers on the writing, his eyes wandering in thought.

Xiao Yan is also a backup choice for him in the future. If everything is safe in the future and you don't have to worry about your life, you don't need to mention it again. But who knows what the things of the world will turn out of? It's better to bury your chess in advance than to cram.

"Your Highness, Gong Zheng is here." Lu Guang came in from outside the door and said.

Tuoba Shen retracted his thoughts, and when he got up, he saw Zheng Daozhao walking in with a letter in his hand.

"Zheng Qing, what's the matter here?"

"Your Highness, Xiao Yan, the puppet Zhenxi (general) of the Southern Dynasty sent the head of his family to the museum, this is Xiao Yan's letter." Zheng Daozhao handed over the letter in his hand and said.

Xiao Yan!!

It's really Cao Cao, Cao Cao! I was thinking about going to get close to Xiao Yantao, but I didn't expect him to come to the door by himself. Although it's just a principal, not himself, it's also a reason!

"Then what did the chief say about coming to the Qingyi Pavilion?" Tuoba Shen took the letter and saw that it read: "The Great Qi Envoy Holds the Festival, the Governor Jing Yong, Liang Ning, the Military of the Six Prefectures of the North and South Qin, the History of the Jingzhou Thorn, the Zhenxi General's Mansion, the Advisory Army, the Lanling Xiao Yan, the Servant of the Wei Dynasty, His Royal Highness the Duke of Qinghe"

Scold! Xiao Yan is quite interesting! If you don't know his actual position, just look at the long list of official titles in front of me, and think it's him!

Zheng Daozhao listened to Tuobashen's question, his face was depressed, and he said, "It's not a big deal. ”

It turned out that Zheng Daozhao got Tuoba Shen's order yesterday, and went to Jiankang City this morning to buy some slaves and maids, because he didn't know which cities in Jiankang could buy slaves and maids, so he specially went to consult the museum order, and finally under the recommendation of the museum order, he went to the south city and the east market, both of which are big cities, both located in the south of the city.

Because of its proximity to the powerful and high-ranking families in Wuyi Lane, all the servants of the high-ranking families will be sold here from time to time. Zheng Daozhao thought, since it is to buy slaves, of course it is best for the Gaomen clan to come out, the so-called those who are close to Zhu are red and those who are close to ink are black! High-ranking slaves are also better than ordinary families or those who sell themselves into slavery in order to survive.

After leaving the museum with two guards, Zheng Daozhao went straight to Nanshi. Nanshi is located in the southeast of Jiankang, in the Douchang Village outside the Sanqiao Fence Gate, so it is also called Douchang City (the area outside the Yuhua Gate). Not far from Wuyi Lane, it is one of the four major cities in Jiankang. At the beginning, it was Liu Yu who settled the captured Nanyan during the Longan period, and the place where the Qin Baigong was set up, and then developed into a large city of Jiankang.

"Xiaguan found a few places to sell slaves in the southern city, bought ten people, four men can do some rough work, and the rest are all maids, but there is still a mother and son among them."

This buying a maidservant is not buying small things, where is there a reason to buy big and give small? It's not a charging phone bill, why do you still bring your child?

"The lower official listened to what the seller said, the mother and son were originally a small clan in Yixing, and they sold their families as slaves, but yesterday they were only sold in Nanshi because they angered the housewife. Xia Guan saw that the woman was very eloquent, and her son was quite intelligent, although he was only eight years old, he was already familiar with poetry, calligraphy, chess and painting. Therefore, I felt sorry for a while, and I wanted to buy it first, and then ask His Royal Highness to return it when I left Jiangnan in the future. ”

Fang listened to what the head of the Xiao family said, and he wanted to return the mother and son. The lower officials did not dare to make arbitrary decisions, so they came to ask His Highness before. ”

Tuoba Shen was puzzled in his heart, a pair of betrayed mother and son, and they were not big people, where was it worth Xiao Yan to specially send the principal to bring the book?

"But what is the identity of the mother and son, and Xiao Yancai sent someone to ask for it? Zheng Qingke once asked the mother and son for details. Since the seller of the Xiao family said that it was a small family in Yixing, he also had a history. ”

Xia Guan asked a few rough questions, only to know that the woman's surname was Liu, and it was Shangyu's surname. His son was originally a native of Yixing, surnamed Chen, and his name was Qingzhi. The rest is not very much. ”
