This time, Yun Jiang did not immediately answer Lord Lang's question. Yu Wentai looked at her with a little curiosity.

After a moment of silence, Yun Jiang still replied in a gentle voice, "The slave's father is a county official, and he has no family to be a slave because ......of his crime."

Yun Jiang didn't say the rest of the words. But Yu Wentai already understood that no wonder she didn't look like an ordinary slave. The daughter of the small official's family was originally a good son with an innocent family background, but she had to be implicated by officialdom because of her father and was not classified as a lowly citizen. Compared with before, the identity is already different from heaven and earth. It's rare that she is still so calm and quiet.

Daijun, it turns out that she is also from Daijun. Yu Wentai raised his head, looked at the unknown place in the void, and fell into deep thought. It was as if I heard the desolate and tragic sound of the beard floating between heaven and earth. The sky is so blue, and there are white clouds in the blue sky. There was green grass as far as the eye could see. Blue sky and green grass are connected at a great distance. Herds of cattle and sheep have lived on the grassland for generations. The strongest men rode their horses like the wind on the grassland, and the most beautiful women sang and danced on the grassland......

Yu Wentai unconsciously sighed slightly, these were already too far away in his memory, too far away. It's so far away that it doesn't seem real. He woke up suddenly, and inadvertently saw Yun Jiang kneeling on the ground and quietly looking up at him. She didn't interrupt him, just waited for his command.

Yu Wentai realized that he had lost his temper and was a little uncomfortable. deliberately refusing to look at her again, he walked to the edge of the couch and sat down and ordered, "Go and invite Mr. Su." After saying that, he flipped through the bookcase aimlessly, not even knowing what he wanted.

Yun Jiang had already answered the call.

Su Sui, at a glance, knew that he was a loyal elder. Because there are many times in the Prime Minister's mansion, everyone in the palace knows this Daxingtai Zuocheng. Zuo Cheng is gentle and gentle, and the prime minister of Lang calls him "sir" in the house. Therefore, the people in the house are also respectfully called "Mr. Su".

Mr. Su is a Jingzhao martial artist, and his tone of voice has a slight local accent, and because of this, Su Sui, who is respected by the prime minister, has a more symbolic meaning in the hearts of the officials in the old capital of the west. It symbolizes the attitude of the new capital Chang'an, the attitude of the great prime minister Yuwentai, and the present and future of the dynasty that is still called "Great Wei" in the future.

Sure enough, the palace was cleared, the new emperor was pure, and the palace was peaceful. The descendants of the clan are also relaxed, and they no longer have to worry about their lives every day. Since Emperor Gaozu Xiaowen moved the capital to Luoyang, both the clan and the hundred officials have been forced to speak Chinese, wear Hanfu, and everyone must follow the Han people in everything. Since arriving in Chang'an, it seems that the spring breeze is thawing, the surface is no different, and it has quietly changed. The Xianbei old clan is about to raise their eyebrows.

Not only the clan and the hundred officials. Chang'an's Wei Palace, the Great Prime Minister's Mansion, the temple palace, the maids, the servants, and the slaves and maids all did their best to serve Mr. Su.

This night, Su Sui sat and waited for Yuwentai in the Prime Minister's Mansion. Hearing that Mr. Su was coughing from time to time, he knew that Mr. Su was not in good health, so the slaves and maids were also very attentive to serving. It's just that I waited all night in the end. By the time Yun Jiang came to invite, the sky was already faintly dawning.

"Prime Minister." Su Sui walked in and called out, saluting according to the rules.

Yu Wentai had already stood up to greet Su Xuan and helped him up, and said with a slight reproach, "I have already said it, why does Mr. have to hold this ceremony." As he spoke, he looked at Su Sui carefully, and then asked, "Mr. Jean waited all night, and I didn't do it." Is it not safe yet, sir? ”

Su Sui smiled and said, "Xiao Chao doesn't dare to worry about Prime Minister Lao." Did the prime minister stay awake all night? He had already seen that Yuwentai's eyes were slightly red and slightly swollen.

The two of them meet often, and they are also close friends with each other, so they are indeed not so formal. Sitting down separately, Su Sui said again, "If the prime minister pays the society with his own body, I am afraid that his own strength is very small, but if so, he really underestimates himself." I'm really not worth it for the prime minister. ”

Yu Wentai endured the headache that came on again, subconsciously rubbed his temples again, and said a little tiredly, "What Mr. said is extremely true." Black otters are taught. After saying that, he closed his eyes and breathed slightly for a moment, and when he opened his eyes again, a pair of big, dark eyes suddenly shone brightly. It is a matter of great importance to invite the gentleman to come, and it is appropriate to have a long talk, and I do not want to delay it because of my fault. ”

"Since it is an extremely important matter, it is better to choose the time than to hit the time, but the prime minister is defenseless." Su Sui asked calmly.

"The new emperor changed the yuan, the palace was quiet, and the Great Wei Sheji moved from Luoyang to Chang'an, which can be regarded as a peaceful settlement. It's just that I'm afraid it won't be easy to live in the future. Yu Wentai sighed.

"Is it not easy to live, or is it not easy to live?" Su Sui said indifferently.

Yu Wentai was stunned and didn't speak.

"Chang'an opened the end of the Han Dynasty and was born as an imperial residence. It's just that if your neighbors are uneasy, I'm afraid it's not easy to live in peace. Is the prime minister worried about this? Although Su Sui was asking, his tone was not hesitant.

"That's what the gentleman said." Yu Wentai admired, "Mr. knows me." ”

"Now that you have settled down, Guanzhong and Chang'an are family homes. The prime minister can't help but take a long-term view, govern the family first, and then serve the far. Confucius said: 'People from afar are not convinced, and they have been cultivating virtue since then. Mencius said: 'There is much help for the righteous, but little help for the unjust'. If the prime minister is a first-born farmer and businessman, he will be compassionate to Li Shu, and he will stay in education until the day when the king is successful, whether to open the door to entertain guests or to refuse customers behind closed doors is up to us. I'm afraid that when the time comes, it will not be difficult for us to live, or it will be difficult for others to live. Su Xuan's words suddenly woke up Yu Wentai, and he suddenly felt refreshed.

"A few words from the gentleman will solve the doubts in my chest, and the true master will also." Yuwentai bowed for a long time. "What the gentleman is saying is that it is better to be sad than to be sad. It is better to seek others than to seek yourself, no matter the king's hegemony, they are all Tianxingjian gentlemen who strive for self-improvement. ”

Su Sui nodded and smiled.

Yu Wentai's mind turned fast for a while. A few days ago, Su Sui also mentioned from time to time some methods of reforming the current politics to strengthen the country and enrich the people. He had long had the idea of resetting the army, and a battle with Yecheng was inevitable sooner or later. And the north and south have tiger and wolf neighbors, which cannot be ignored. If the country is strong and the people are rich enough to finance the military, as long as there are a few more years, the army he envisioned will be built. At this time, I am afraid that I will have to discuss with Zhao Gui and Yu Jin.

So taking advantage of the fact that the two of them were in good spirits, they discussed with Su Sui the method of persuading the people to teach lessons and pay taxes and servitude. I have been talking refreshed and energetic. It seems that the fatigue of a sleepless night has also disappeared in the excitement of building a great cause for the future bit by bit.

It's nearly noon, and it's the time of day when the sun shines at its brightest. The palace of Chang'an presents a peaceful atmosphere under the beautiful sun. The Taiji Hall is the place where the new emperor's ingots torch looks at the court. Whenever there is a big court, or there is an important matter to be discussed, it is here. The new emperor is diligent in government, or the great prime minister Yuwentai is diligent in government, so there are court discussions in the Taiji Palace.

Early this morning, Yu Wentai and Zuo Cheng Su Sui rode from the Prime Minister's Mansion to the palace to discuss the court. Time flies, and before I know it, it's noon. From yesterday evening to nearly noon today, Prime Minister Yu Wentai has been working tirelessly for more than ten hours in a row to deal with government affairs, and he is in the court again, and he is really extremely tired. What's more, it takes a lot of energy to think about it and to talk about it.

Out of the Tai Chi Hall, I suddenly felt that the noon sun was so warm, shining on people very warm and comfortable, making people feel particularly comfortable. After the continuous mental excitement, Yuwentai could barely support his body. He stood in a remote place under His Majesty Dan in the Taiji Hall and wanted to be quiet for a while. This corner is not easy to see, but those standing here can see all the scenes outside the Tai Chi Hall.

The courtiers were almost scattered. What attracted Yuwentai's attention was the chariot a little farther away. Although I don't know who is sitting in the chariot, the palace maid standing on one side looks unusual. After a moment's effort, he saw the emperor's ingots torch coming slowly, and his expression obviously knew that there was a chariot waiting here.

The eunuch served the emperor on the chariot, and the chariot did not move for a while. After a while, another palace maid walked over, as if she was listening to the order. Apparently the people in the chariot were talking about something. It took another moment to see the chariot start slowly. Later, when I looked at the direction, I went to the Fengyi Hall where the queen lived. I don't know who the person in the chariot is.

Yu Wentai suddenly had an indescribable taste in his heart.

"My lord." A voice came from behind him.

As soon as Yu Wentai turned around, it was his close confidant Hussar General Yu Jinzheng who looked at him with worried eyes. He was also followed by Zhao Gui, the general of the cavalry. Zhao Gui was originally appointed as the assassin of Qizhou, but it was really because Yuwentai used him a lot and was the same right-hand man as Yu Jin, so he did not let him go to the office.

"The lord has a bad complexion, I'm afraid I'm too tired." Yu Jin stepped up and whispered worriedly.

"Brother Sijing doesn't understand the mind of the lord, he only knows how to worry about the lord's health and well-being, but he really doesn't understand the lord." Zhao Gui also followed, looked at Yuwentai and whispered.

Zhao Gui's words seem to have something to say, and there is no need to hide it from Yu Jin, Yuwentai can naturally hear it.

Zhao Gui glanced at the chariot that was about to disappear in the distance, and said to Yuwentai, "Lord, forgive Yuangui for being blunt." Does the lord want to emulate Emperor Xianzong Xiaowu for being rude in the boudoir? ”

Emperor Xianzong Xiaowu refers to Emperor Yuan Xiu, who was from Luoyang to the neutral capital of Chang'an. No matter what happened during his lifetime, he was beautified by these temple names and nicknames after death.

Maybe it was because this was too direct, too blunt, and too undeserved, Yu Jin immediately changed his face and whispered to Zhao Gui, "Brother Yuangui is cautious, this is not the place to speak. "This is a direct criticism of the scales, even if they are Yuwentai's cronies, it is too much to say such a thing. Yu Jin was very worried.

Yu Wentai dropped a sentence, "Go back to the house with me." With that, he walked away.

At the end of the day, the north wind gradually rose, and before the hour, the sky darkened early. Dark clouds were overhead, as if it were a heavy snowfall. The study in the Prime Minister's Mansion is still warm and comfortable. Yun Jiang checked the lamp, candle, fruit tea, and then silently retreated, went out, and closed the door of the study. She still remembered that the prime minister's lunch was shallow, maybe he had no appetite, maybe he was not in Kangtai. When he came out just now, he looked back and felt that his complexion was extremely bad.

Yun Jiang stood at the door of the study, and was trembling by the cold wind blowing in his face. The clothes are too thin, mainly because the study just now is too warm, and I can't stand the difference between inside and outside all of a sudden. She looked up at the sky, and there was about to snow. Knowing that Lord Lang must be discussing with his henchmen inside, he didn't dare to get too close, so he walked away.

In the study, Yuwentai was extremely tired but didn't feel sleepy, but he was still sitting on the couch and still had a lot of complicated government affairs in his heart. Yu Jin sat on his side. Zhao Gui refused to sit down, and walked over on the ground, looking very irritable.

Zhao Gui is actually not an impetuous person, he has discernment, courage, wisdom and courage, and he knows how to judge the situation. When he walked back to Yuwentai's bookcase from the door of the study, he finally stopped. first glanced at Yu Jin, intentionally or unintentionally.

"The lord is a person who does great things, is it really so hard to let go in his heart? Is it because of a woman to mess up your mind? Zhao Gui's tone of voice this time was much softer.

"Brother Yuangui!" Yu Jin knew too well what Zhao Gui was going to say. But at the same time, he also knew that Yuwentai was not a fool. He hurriedly stopped Zhao Gui, just for fear that he would say something more reckless if he continued to speak. "My lord," he persuaded in a gentle tone, "Queen Yifu is very affectionate with the lord, and even if she is about to give birth, she often sends the lord out of the Fengyi Palace to see the court. Does the lord really have a heart for her? ”

"Fengyi Palace?!" Yu Wentai suddenly asked, his dark and bottomless eyes looked at Yu Jin.

"Yes. The Lord never stayed in the temple of manna. Yu Jin replied slowly.

The Ganlu Hall is the residence of the new emperor after the Yuan Bao Torch moved into the palace. Fengyi Hall is the residence of Empress Yi Fushi. Yu Wentai only learned today that it turned out that the Yuan Bao Torch had been living in the Fengyi Hall for the sake of Yi Fu's family. He had a special feeling in his heart, she had been on the supreme throne for several months, and she was in the middle of childbirth, but he hadn't seen her again for a long time.

"Lord, if the queen gives birth to a prince......" Zhao Gui reminded.

Yu Wentai's heart skipped a beat when he heard this. If it's a prince......

"Brother Yuangui, the mourning of the first emperor is not exhausted, and the new emperor is benevolent and is in line with the atmosphere of Chengping, why bother to make extraneous branches. And it's still nowhere to be found. ”

As his name suggests, he has always been cautious. Yuwentai and Zhao Gui knew this very well in their hearts, so Zhao Gui didn't argue anymore.

"The lord's heart has never been hidden from me and Brother Yuan. Today, Si Jing has the courage to say that the water moon mirror flower is an illusion after all, and the person in the heart of the lord is not Queen Yifu after all. Please think twice about the overall situation. "Yu Jin didn't say much, so he stopped at the point.

"Have you forgotten what the princess of Rouran said before leaving?" Zhao Gui also reminded.
