After resting for a moment in the Dongtian Pavilion, the group returned to the road, and only entered the North Fence Gate after about half an hour. After saying goodbye to Jiang Song and the others by the North Fence Gate, Tuoba Shen and the others went straight to the Qingyi Pavilion.

Originally, I set off at dawn today, just thinking that I could go back to the museum earlier, but I didn't expect to delay until noon to return to the museum. By the time they arrived outside, everyone was already sweating profusely.

After getting out of the car, Tuoba Shen and Zheng Daozhao, Lu Guang, Yu Zhong, and Liu Wenyuan had just walked outside the door, and saw Liu Teng running out quickly from inside, still holding a letter in his hand.

"Your Highness, before noon, a man who claimed to be the king of Luling of the Qi Dynasty came to visit the hall and sent a cart of ice and melons and fruits, and the little slave had placed them in the underworld. This is a letter left by the prince of Luling in the Qi Dynasty, and he also asks His Royal Highness to read it. ”

Xiao Ziqing! What did he send people for?

Since seeing Xiao Zhen out of the palace the day before yesterday, Tuoba Shen has not met Xiao Ziqing again. Unexpectedly, he sent someone over today, and even sent ice cubes. That's a real send-off.

Tuoba Shen felt the scorching sun, and suddenly felt that Xiao Ziqing was still very good at being a person!

They are new to Jiankang, and they don't know where to buy ice. And on such a hot day, even if you find a place to sell ice, the price is definitely not low, and you may not be able to buy it even if you have money.

Tuoba Shen took the letter, but did not open it immediately, went up the door with Zheng Daozhao and others, opened the letter, read it as he walked, and asked, "Li Qing, Jiang Qing is in the museum?" ”

"It's all in the hall, Gong Li, Gong Jiang returned to the hall before noon."

"Hmmm! Liu Qing went to prepare warm water for Gu first, and he will use it later. So saying, he went to the main hall.

At this time, Li Biao and Jiang Shaoyou were in the main hall. The two of them went out of the museum together today and visited various places in the city for more than an hour before returning to the museum, and now they are recording what they have seen and heard along the way.

These are all things that Tuoba Shen commanded. The so-called good memory is not as good as a bad pen. First, write down all the observations and hears, and then argue with each other whether there are any contradictions, and finally make a summary and write the main text. These texts are the focus of this mission. To this end, Tuoba Shen also made an interview table according to the copywriting chart of his previous life, clarified the key points of the interview, and instructed Li Biao and the others to deal with the form record.

The results of these inspections should be sorted out before being stored in a box and locked. These documents were also to be brought back to Heicheng and presented to the emperor's imperial review, and eventually they would become one of the archives of Baitaizhong.

After the two of them sat down after the ceremony, Zheng Daozhao asked, "Your Highness, what did King Luling say?" ”

"There is no other, just say that I invite Gu to go to his mansion for a banquet tonight." Tuoba Shen folded the letter and put it in his sleeve and said, "Can you wait for the meaning of the emperor?" ”

The last time I went to Xiao Zhen's harem to see Concubine Zhang Shu, it almost became his own loophole, and Tuoba Shen couldn't make a decision alone now. So I want to ask Li Biao and others for their opinions first.

Zheng Daozhao thought about it and looked at Li Biao. Li Biao is the deputy envoy, he doesn't speak first, and others can't say it.

Tuoba Shen saw that Zheng Daozhao had something to say, so he said, "What does Zheng Qing mean?" ”

Zheng Daozhao saw that Tuoba Shen took the initiative to ask, and said: "In the opinion of the following officials, His Royal Highness should send someone to refuse the invitation of King Luling." ”

"What did Zheng Qing say?" Tuoba was cautious

There is a saying in Zuo Chuan, "Doctors have no friends outside the country"! Selflessness for the sake of public service. In the past, Wu Zhuge Jin made Shu, and his brother Wuhou had no selfish opinions, which is what he meant! Although the King of Luling and His Royal Highness are foreign relatives, they are different from each other, so they should not be too close to them and lose the body of the envoy. ”

Tuoba Shen listened to Zheng Daozhao's words and fell silent. "Doctors have no friends outside the country", referring to the rules before the Spring and Autumn Period, when the weekly etiquette was strict, not only ordinary personal contacts, even if they encountered the funeral of foreign relatives and friends, they were not allowed to cross the border to mourn. However, since entering the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, this rule has been broken. Otherwise, Ji Zha, who was in the state of Wu, would not have left a story of his relationship with the prince of Zheng Guo, and Wei Qi of the Warring States would not have gone to Zhao Sheng, the king of the plains, to ask for asylum because of the persecution of the Qin state.

As for Zhuge Jin, he did not meet Zhuge Liang in private, perhaps to show his selflessness, or to avoid Sun Quan's suspicion. And he is different from Zhuge Jin, Zhuge Jin may betray Wu in theory, but he is the prince, and he is in a place of no doubt, because in the eyes of outsiders, he has no reason to betray the imperial court and connect with Southern Qi.

"What about Gong Li?"

If Li Biao doesn't agree either, just be good! Tuoba thought carefully

Li Biao touched his beard and said, "In the opinion of the following officials, His Royal Highness should go!" ”

Tuoba Shen, Zheng Daozhao and others were surprised when they heard Li Biao's answer. In Zheng Daozhao's view, Li Biao must have the same opinion as him, what he said is right, and it is also a serious statement, Li Biao has no reason to oppose his statement!

"In the opinion of the following officials, Xiao Ziqing invites His Royal Highness to his residence, or to accept the will of the Lord."

"What is the basis for Li Gong's statement?" Zheng Daozhao asked

Zheng Jun didn't know that Li and Jiang Gong traveled to Jiankang today, and saw the endless water and land exchanges of the Qi division on the embankment of Xuanwu Lake, and heard that the Lord of Qi ordered that the area around the Shogunate Mountain in Hubei was banned, and the folk woodcutters were not allowed to enter and exit for fishing and hunting, and hundreds of boats were gathered on the lake. If you want to come to the Qi Lord, you may have the intention of speaking of martial arts. Biao Wu came to Jiankang, and the three views were the same teacher, or land or water. Today, His Royal Highness deigned to come in person, how could the Qi Dynasty not demonstrate without reading martial arts. Today, Xiao Ziqing invited His Royal Highness to come or do this. ”

Tuoba Shen was silent for a moment, nodded and said, "What Li Qing said is very reasonable. "Military parades to intimidate each other are something that the North and the South often do, and this dynasty has often done in the past. From this point of view, it is also very possible for Xiao Zhen to invite him to read martial arts together.

。。。。。。

After discussing the banquet, Tuoba Shen went to bed. Liu Teng had already prepared hot water for him.

When I entered the back bed, I saw Mrs. Chen packing up the clothes hanging on the bamboo poles, all of which were Tuoba Shen, and a few of them were Hanfu bought yesterday.

These clothes are carefully intended to be worn by themselves.

It's a pity not to have a good time to come to Jiankang, so Tuoba Shen plans to go out for a walk in a few days. However, considering that Hu's clothes are too eye-catching, if he walks outside, he looks at the scenery, but he himself will be the scenery in the eyes of others, and maybe the sound of "Suolu" will be heard endlessly along the way. It's better to wear Hanfu, and it's convenient to wear braided hair and tie a bun. As for whether this will be passed back to Pingcheng to be blamed, he is not afraid. In fact, many ethnic groups in Pingcheng who have long accepted Han culture occasionally walk around their homes in Hanfu, but they don't do it on formal occasions.

As for why Mrs. Chen is here? Naturally, it was specially ordered by Tuoba Shen, and Mrs. Chen looked like a boudoir girl with a good family education, so naturally she couldn't be compared with those "laymen", so after thinking about it, she arranged Mrs. Chen's mother and son in the back bed. First, he can be close to Xiao Chen Qingzhi, and secondly, Mrs. Chen is very different from Lu Guang, although he can't do anything to Mrs. Chen, but having a lady waiting for him can be both refreshing and pleasing to the eye, which is not comparable to Lu Guang, a rough man.

And several handmaidens who came with Mrs. Chen were given to Li Biao by Tuoba Shen yesterday, but Zheng Daozhao did not accept them, and he didn't know if his wife had good means, or he was worried about his image.
