"It's been hard work lately." Wu Haoze said coldly on the horse, "Thanks to the presence of the adults, the deployment of the Three Dynasties is going so smoothly. ”

"Where, the same is true of the general." Xiao Yan nodded, looked at the snow scene and said, "In the final analysis, it is still the king who is wise and uses people well. ”

He committed a heinous crime, Xiao Zhi did not seem to be punished, and even now he has changed his voice and appearance, and he is upright as his courtier, giving him advice.

Why is this the case? Xiao Zhi didn't seem to care about the past where he wanted to put him to death, and he entrusted him with full authority to set up defenses for the three dynasties, and he didn't even monitor whether he still had ambitions.

The more you want to see through it, the more you can't see through it, is this the king?

"He's special." Wu Haoze said coldly: "You are such a strange person, you can't let go of it all day long. If you have any questions, just ask him. “

"He's the king" Regarding Wu Haoze's arrogant nature, Xiao Yan was also very bitter, and quietly changed the topic, "It's so late that the saint called in, what's the matter?" ”

Wu Haoze shook his head and said: "I don't know, it's always a matter of defense, I heard that Xu Qiguang and Liu Zhi are hooked up, maybe they will be killed on a large scale!" ”

Xiao Yan grabbed the reins, looked up and thought about it, and said with a smile: "No, if Liu Zhi did what they did, he would have taken them a long time ago, and if he didn't move them for so long, he was afraid that they would be too deeply connected with Xu Qiguang." If it is pulled out, Xu Qiguang is guilty of striking, and he will really be punished, and he is afraid that he will make a truth for the Three Dynasties - the things that the king thinks about are always deeper than ordinary people! Something different! However, it was a risky move. ”

The two of them said that before they knew it, they had reached the outside of the noon gate, and the soldiers who gave Xiao Yan robes and gowns chased after them in the snow and dust. At the door of the right fold, Sima Ni, Xue Bilong, Guo Zhang and Sima Wei were already waiting, and when they saw them coming, Sima Wei complained: "Lord Wu, it's a shame that your brother is still a general, and he is ordered to enter the court, so he will come sooner or later!" If we do not wait for you, but go in of ourselves, and the Holy One asks you, what shall we say? ”

Guo Zhang smiled and said: "Anyway, the king is still in the Taihe Palace, so we might as well hand over the sign and wait there." Saying that, the six of them handed the sign in, and sure enough, Xiao Zhi hadn't come back yet, so he knelt down and waited under the Danqi according to his rank.

Sima Wei smiled and whispered: "General Wu, I blamed you for my mistake, you can still stomp your feet outside the noon gate to keep warm, this is good, it is frozen!" Wu Haoze stood upright, only turned around and glanced at it, and everyone stopped talking.

"Mai Gai three quilts, head pillow bun to sleep - Huang Jing said it well!" About half a meal, I heard Xiao Zhen's voice coming from outside the weeping flower door. He laughed and seemed very happy. Xie Lan took the lead, and Huang Jing and another eunuch marched through the snow with Xiao Zhi's arms on the left and the right.

Xiao Zhi saw the six of them standing in the snow in a row and kowtowing to greet them, and said with a smile: "It's snowing, so let's get rid of it!" Sima Ni and Xue Bilong are old, and they will be exempted from this gift in the future - this snow is falling well, well, this is not snow, it is noodles, it is white noodles! Maybe it was infected by Xiao Zhen's emotions, or maybe they entered the hall from the snowy patio, and the five of them felt a burst of warmth on their bodies.

Seeing that the sky was already dark, Xiao Zhi called for the palm candle in a row, and at the same time ordered the guards Xie Lan and Luo He to go to the corridor to pay the errand, and ordered the six people to sit on the chairs one after another, pointing to a stack of documents more than two feet high on the dragon case and said with a smile: "In recent years, the implementation of the new policy, the power of the monarch has been transferred and dispersed, so that everyone can perform their duties and improve efficiency, and it has been a long time since there have been so many case files - it seems that there are many important things recently." There are all the head rite department, the criminal department, the military department, and the household department here, you can look at it separately, and I will look at it after I have approved it. How about our monarch sit with him all night? I can't finish it, and I'll do it tomorrow night! ”

Xue Bilong smiled when he heard this: "Wang Shang's diligent government is good, but it is not a big deal to accumulate such a few case files. You might as well let the ministers read it first, write down the reason, approve the abridgement, and the master will save much effort when you read it again. The master just sleeps peacefully, and tomorrow morning the five watchmen and the ministers will alarm the holy car when they are done. Xiao Zhi smiled, didn't answer, and took a copy for review. Seeing this, Xiao Yan knew that Xiao Zhi would not change his mind, so he only rolled up his sleeves and sharpened his ink to prepare for his reputation.

The other five people glanced at each other, and each took a copy and returned to their seats. The palace maid who held the lamp added another big candle in front of everyone, and Xiao Zhi added two more palace lamps behind him than others. The hall fell silent for a moment, and only the sound of turning paper was heard. Around the end of the second watch, the five people were approved separately. Sima Ni, Guo Zhang, Xue Bilong, Sima Wei and Wu Haoze got up gently one after another and quietly sent the case file back to its original place. Xiao Zhi handed over his approval to Xiao Yan, and said with a smile, "It's time for you to be busy, let them sleep for a while, and then ask them to come together if I have any doubts!" As he spoke, he took all the ministers' approvals to his desk and looked at them one by one.

The hall fell silent again, only Xiao Zhi and Xiao Yan kept looking at each other and writing with one hand. Except for Wu Haoze, how dare the other four "fake sleep", sitting on the side and watching Xiao Zhen. Everyone was very moved, although the king didn't like to follow the rules and was greedy for fun, but his diligence had long been heard from the eunuchs, and he had feelings on weekdays, but he didn't expect that he would be so meticulous. Sima Ni couldn't help but secretly think: "Even Zulong and Tang Taizong, the two most diligent emperors, may not be able to work hard to rule so far!" ”

The snow was still falling unhurriedly, covering the hundred-year-old hall layer after layer like cotton dropping. This kind of night is the easiest to reminisce about the past. Xie Lan stood under the corridor, looking at the white sky, and suddenly remembered Shen Lian. It was a night like this, dark and cold, but autumn, with a drizzle. Xie Lan read the "Book of Changes" and asked for advice on the principle of mutual restraint in gossip, but Shen Lian refused to teach, and said with a smile: "What you are asking is the 'easy' of the sorcerer, not the 'easy' of Confucianism, I think it is better not to understand it - for the affairs of the courtiers, we must establish the foundation of loyalty and filial piety, and be diligent and prudent; Those who are the fathers of the monarch must take the heart of the world as their heart. Otherwise, as soon as something happens, he will act a number of tricks, stick to the honor and disgrace of the ego, avoid evil and seek good fortune, and move and retreat, in this way, who cares about the affairs of the country? "This scene in the hall in front of you, if Mr. Shen is also there, it would be great! Four years have passed since the incident, and Shen Lian's words and his voice are still in his eyes.

Although Shen Lian and Su Wan were above the rivers and lakes, their hearts were concerned about the major affairs of the Qi State. I don't know what happened to the two of them, and where are they now? Xie Lan was thinking wildly, and suddenly heard Xiao Zhi in the hall say: "Zhili's case is decided. I think I'll forgive him, Guo Zhang. ”
