Chapter 320: Recruiting Horses

Seeing that the emperor made a simple gesture, a middle-aged man who looked like a close attendant beside him hurriedly saluted and retreated, knowing that the person was immediately going to confirm the situation of the envoy of the Southern Dynasty, and in the originally silent hall, I don't know how many civil and military ministers were all in shock and sluggishness.

According to common sense, even if this young man who did not look like an official envoy of the Southern Dynasty reprimanded him, the hall should have quarreled for a while before he came to a conclusion, but the emperor unexpectedly stopped the others from speaking, and when Yue Qianqiu said the most fatal sentence, he directly sent the people around him, and they couldn't move these high-ranking officials who stayed in the hall, and they couldn't even send the news.

This is just a small matter, is it possible that it will become a big thing?

It was only at this time that Yue Xiaoquartet tasted the deep meaning of Yue Qianqiu's words and deeds, and couldn't help but secretly praise the old man for teaching well.

If it weren't for the older lady and the younger Qianqiu, how would he know the most taboo thing for the Northern Yan Emperor now? The emperor carries the black cauldron...... These words are wonderful! You must know that what the Emperor of Northern Yan hates most today is to carry the black cauldron, otherwise how could those spies of the Autumn Hunting Division who ran to the Nanyuan Hunting Palace to copy and inspect the carriage be so unlucky?

In line with the idea of fearing that the world will not be chaotic, Yue Xiaosi immediately took a step forward and came out of the ranks majestically.

Who is he? The original princess of Ping'an, the current king of Lanling County, suddenly ushered in the attention of everyone when she stood up. And what he said made many people even more angry.

"Your Majesty, the place where the envoys of the Southern Dynasty live is Changying Palace, if someone really dares to take the world's medicine, then there is no doubt that the emperor may also be murdered! General Shenjian has only been in charge of the forbidden army for two days temporarily, and the generals below may not all listen to him, so this matter naturally cannot be attributed to General Shenjian. If the emperor allows it, the minister is willing to take the initiative to ask Ying to investigate! ”

Xiao Jingxian immediately understood the meaning of these words. Where does Xiao Changhui really want to take care of the matter, this is deliberately provoking trouble, see who of the officials in the palace jumps out!

At that moment, he didn't wait for others to react, and immediately coughed lightly, and then slowly came out: "Your Majesty, after all, the king of Lanling County has been at the border for a long time, and he didn't take care of things before. ”

These two people took the initiative to ask for help, and the hall suddenly seemed to be fried. Ji Xun, who was hit just now because of scolding Yue Qianqiu, was scolded by the emperor but didn't even get angry, couldn't help but be the first to jump out at this time.

"You are thieves shouting to catch thieves, it is clear that the envoys of the Southern Dynasty are colluding with the two of you!"

Yue Xiaosi didn't raise his eyelids, let alone turn back: "General Ji...... Oh, now you don't have any soldiers in your hands, that is, a bare-bones general. You say that I am a thief and shout to catch a thief, so what about you, aren't you a thief? I forgot, if you hadn't been dismissed, you would have been in the palace for the past ten days, and this has nothing to do with you, right? ”

Finding that the fire he lit had burned in an instant, Yue Qianqiu simply held the national letter that no one cared about at all now, and stood aside for a long time, watching this big drama with an innocent face.

After watching it for a while, he found that this argument was a bit low-level, and the speed of speech was too fast, and he gradually couldn't resist this Beiyan language, and he could only tell that more and more people were involved, Xiao Jingxian and Yue Xiaosi retreated with their whole bodies, and they also went to the side to watch the play like him. So, after taking a look, he glanced at Xu Houcong beside the emperor coldly.

Seeing that this expression was very reluctant, he also smiled very kindly, and only when he found that the emperor was actually looking at him, he was a little surprised. But he was originally a bold man, and he was not afraid at all at this time, and made a bold grimace against this son of heaven.

Seeing that the other party was stunned, he turned sideways and continued to watch this rare court quarrel as if he was fine, seeing that more and more people were involved, he secretly burst into laughter, and felt very happy in his heart.

Well, it feels good to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight!

At this moment, he suddenly noticed that someone was approaching beside him, and when he turned his head to look, he found that it was Xu Houcong, and he was suddenly a little surprised. And Xu Houcong took a deep breath, and then said in a low voice: "Yue Jiu Gongzi is really a good means...... The emperor invites you to come over. ”

The two sentences before and after this do not match the boundary at all, it is obvious that one is Xu Houcong's own emotion, and the other is the emperor's order, but Yue Qianqiu doesn't care. He followed Xu Houcong up without fear, and only when he was three steps away from the emperor's palace did he take the initiative to stop. While thinking about the success rate of the assassination at this distance, he bowed again very chic and beautifully.

"What is the order of His Majesty the Emperor to call the foreign ministers?"

"Bring the national credentials."

Yue Qianqiu didn't expect that when the quarrel below was a pot of porridge, the emperor of Beiyan was still interested in reading the national credentials, but this was originally his purpose, so he did not hesitate, and immediately presented the credentials with both hands, but he was very cautious to hand it over to Xu Houcong first, and when it was handed over to the emperor, he took two steps back.

And even his small actions, the emperor also saw it, and after taking the national letter, he didn't rush to read it first, but asked: "Why don't you come up to me directly?" ”

Yue Qianqiu was stunned for a moment, and then said seriously: "The foreign minister is afraid that people will suspect that he intends to assassinate, didn't Jing Ke start the assassination by offering a map back then?" In a foreign land, it is always necessary to pay attention to avoiding suspicion. ”

The emperor originally just said it casually, but he didn't expect Yue Qianqiu to say that he was afraid of being falsely accused of assassination, and he couldn't help but feel that the comments made by Lou Yingchang, the deputy envoy of the Autumn Hunting Division, on the Yue Qianqiu dossier were really pertinent.

The teacher is more than Taichang, treacherous and natural, cunning like a fox, and the danger level is high!

You must know that there are so many officials in the Southern Dynasties, and there are only a few people who can be classified as high......

If Yue Qianqiu knew that Lou Yingchang, who he had taken a picture of before, would give himself such an evaluation, then he would definitely not feel any honor. After all, he was quite low-key in the past few years, that is, this time the reform of the Guozijian, the defection of the Shengong Gate, and the rebuilding of the Wupinlu, he just made a little contribution.

Seeing that the Northern Yan Emperor was wholeheartedly browsing the national documents of the two Chinese languages, he continued to look at Xu Houcong for a long time. Seeing that Xu Houcong was obviously a little overwhelmed by his gaze, he said sincerely: "General Xu deliberately followed the Qiu Hunt Division to send Lord Wang to come over to recruit Senior Brother Qing, and recommended Senior Brother Zhen that day, His Majesty the Emperor is thirsty for talent, but you are thirsty for talent, which is really admirable." It's just that Senior Brother Qing and Senior Brother Zhen are both people who have eaten the scales and have an iron heart, and they will disappoint you. ”

Xu Houcong didn't expect Yue Qianqiu to suddenly say this. Thinking of the secret conversation that only the two of them knew about that day, he couldn't help but move in his heart, and then asked with a smile in front of the emperor: "They are not willing to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, what about you, the ninth prince of Yue?" ”

Although the emperor seemed to be looking at the letter of state intently, as if he had not heard the private words under his nose and ears, he did not let go of a word of the reply between the two. After all, Yue Qianqiu had called Xu Houcong to lead the way before, and he had walked around the palace unceremoniously, and he had already been told by more than one person.

Yue Qianqiu smiled without thinking: "Although I am only a six-grade petty official in the south, and I don't have an official name, but the Wuying Pavilion that has just opened has been decided to be under my control, although Ying Xiaopang is the prince, he can't do anything with me, with his grandfather and master as his backers, and the emperor to support me in everything, I can walk sideways in Jinling, General Xu, please tell me, what can I do in Beiyan with a gentleman who doesn't have much talent?" Can His Majesty the Emperor let me walk sideways? ”

This is the second time that the emperor has heard Yue Qianqiu emphasize that he is a gentleman, and this time he finally stopped wasting time on the national book he had already read. He raised his head, didn't look at the officials who were about to fight, and said angrily: "You have already won a criminal department book, a criminal department squire, and said that you are a talented gentleman?" ”

"That's just being ignorant when I was a child." Yue Qianqiu smiled modestly, then looked at Xu Houcong again and said, "As for now, I have also used the matter of General Xu to improve my positive reputation, that's all." Since he has no other talents, he must have a better reputation, so that in the future, he will not be harmed by those people who have a strong sense of justice. ”

It turns out that improving your reputation is not for the sake of being a good official, but for the sake of no one who will treat you as a gentleman and then eliminate harm for the people for Tianxingdao?

Xu Houcong didn't believe it at all, and the emperor couldn't help but snort lightly: "I heard that although your grandfather said that although he came from a humble background, he was a first-class eloquent man, but I didn't expect you to be better than the blue." But you just asked me what kind of official I could make you, and if I could let you walk sideways in Shangjing, and I could give you a very clear answer. The ancients could still buy horse bones for a thousand dollars, why can't I? ”

Yue Qianqiu was stunned for a moment, and regretted that he shouldn't have said too much.

Why did you forget that this is an emperor who does not play cards according to common sense, and the degree of god (menstrual disease) is comparable to Xiao Jingxian?

After all, he has experienced a lot of winds and waves, and he still behaves quite calmly at this time. But when the emperor's next words fell, he really couldn't be calm.

"I don't have anything else, I have a lot of daughters, from twelve to sixteen, a total of five daughters, ranging in age from fourteen to ten, all of them are comparable to you, you can choose one of the five, and then stay in Beiyan to be a colt for me."

"Ahem...... cough cough ......"

Suddenly, it was not Yue Qianqiu who made an earth-shattering coughing sound, but Xu Houcong. Rao is Divine Arrow General was first introduced to the Northern Yan Emperor, and he got a high-ranking official Houlu that he never expected, and now he even took charge of the palace defense for a time, but he really didn't expect that the emperor would be willing to throw such a solicitation condition to Yue Qianqiu.

Is this really not a joke? Just in order to attract Yue Qianqiu, the emperor was willing to marry a princess directly?

Just when Xu Houcong found that the hall was gradually quieting down, and he suddenly became the focus of attention, so he desperately calmed down his breathing and wanted to stop coughing, but he only heard Yue Qianqiu on the side say coldly: "General Xu, His Majesty the Emperor doesn't want you to be a concubine, why are you so excited?" ”
