It took two pieces of dim sum to barely pad the hungry stomach, and at this moment, this double-decker small painting boat slowly docked, Xu Xun went down from the second floor to the bow of the boat, and his eyes immediately fell on the eye-catching old man in front of the crowd. He and Liu Jin are old acquaintances who can't be more familiar, but at first glance, he still almost didn't recognize anyone.

The selection of chamberlains in the palace, especially the selection of chamberlains around nobles like the emperor and the crown prince, the first choice is to have outstanding appearance, from this point of view, whether it is Zhang Yong, Gu Dayong, or even the others in the Eight Tigers, all of them are dignified, even if Gu Dayong has gained 20 pounds less than when he was in the East Palace before, he still has an extraordinary bearing. And although Liu Jin is not the most outstanding among the Eight Tigers, he can wear the round neck lining of the eunuch with the seal of the celebrant and the python on his body, and he still looks refreshed, compared with those civil and military generals, that is, there are only three strands of long beard. But now the clothes are worn on Liu Jin's body, but they look empty, the already long face is thinner under the eyes, and the cheeks are slightly sunken, only the eyes are still dark and deep.

When the boat stopped, Xu Xun and Liu Jin looked at each other, but there were not many sparks bursting out. The two of them greeted each other with a smile as if they had not seen each other for a long time. When Zhu Houzhao appeared on the railing on the second floor, Liu Jin made a gesture to salute, but was stopped by Zhu Houzhao's look.

"Let you take good care of your illness, but your legs are fast, get on the boat when you come, don't be verbose!" Seeing that a small firefighter beside Liu Jin hurriedly helped him onto the boat, Zhu Houzhao looked condescendingly at the waiters on the shore and said, "From now on, unless it is a prisoner who violates the border and a rebel rebels, no matter how big it is, I will wait until I come back from swimming in the Taiye Pool, that's all!" ”

A huge boat carrying a group of more than 20 people slowly sailed in the Taiye Pool. It was a sunny day, and the golden sun was shining on the water, and the breeze blew out the golden light. It seems quiet and peaceful. All the servants are in the bilge, and there are only three people on the second floor, Zhu Houzhao and Liu Jin and Xu Xun. The boat drove for a long time, but no one spoke, and all three pairs of eyes were looking at the sparkling surface of the Taiye Pool.

Zhu Houzhao's eyes were outside, but his mind was not outside, noticing that Xu Xun and Liu Jin were in the same situation as him, he couldn't help but be a little annoyed, and finally had to cough heavily and said, "You two can't find anything to say to me?" ”

Liu Jin only felt that his throat was itchy. However. The little emperor had already coughed just now, so he could only endure the discomfort in his throat, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the slave maid just thinks that the scenery is very good at the moment, and I see that the emperor seems to be fascinated, so I don't dare to disturb rashly." The slave maid heard that Pingbeibo entered the city overnight last night. There were some twists and turns on the road, so I came to take a look. Ping Beibo has been out for a few months this time, and it is a captive attack, and a rebel rebellion, which is really hard. ”

These words were both concerned and considerate, and he also gave himself several high hats, coupled with that sincere expression that seemed to come from the heart, Xu Xun also had to be amazed. However, his ability is by no means inferior to Liu Jin. Immediately said with a smile: "When I met Uncle Jingyang before, I heard that Gonggong Liu was not in good health, and I planned to see you when I saw the emperor, but who knew that you would come in person." I was only in danger this time, and if I wanted to say that it was hard, it was also the concerted efforts of the officials and soldiers at all levels, and I myself just did something insignificant. But it was Father-in-law Liu who was sick and was in charge of the celebrant supervisor, which was really hard. ”

Zhu Houzhao looked at these two impeccable smiling faces, but he muttered a little in his heart, seeing that Liu Jin opened his mouth and wanted to say again. He suddenly raised his hand and said, "Okay, okay." You two are going to say this kind of nonsense in front of those old men, who are you going to show these scenes in front of me? Today in front of me. There are some things I simply ask you one by one, and if any of you two has a lie, I will drive him to the liquid pool to feed the fish! If Zhu Houzhao hadn't been present, Xu Xun and Liu Jin would have had a few more rounds of incompatible temptations, but at this moment, the two of them stood awe-inspiring and never looked at each other again. And Zhu Houzhao sat there with his back against the railing, gently rubbing his chin with his hand, and after a while, he suddenly asked: "Liu Jin, the celebrant who was killed by Zhu Ningxiao before served Yu Wang Ning, how did the Tuntian Order in his hand get out, why don't I know?" ”

The little emperor really asked directly to the point! Xu Xun secretly praised in his heart, but he still kept his eyes open. Suddenly, he heard Liu Jin's heavy voice next to him.

"Your Majesty, it's all the sins of slaves and maids. The slave maid sent Wang Ning to Shaanxi, originally wanting him to learn from Yu Shi An Wei to measure the land to see how much production could be produced in a year, and whether there was a situation where the land was allocated but not cultivated, resulting in barren fields. Because the minister heard that the military households in the border towns today are not as good as in the past, especially the so-called garrisons, and they often rent their land to the displaced people outside, and the military food is completely self-sufficient. Therefore, the slave maid gave Wang Ning a warrant, who knew that he would dare to make his own opinion, saying that the supply of military food in the second half of this year will be halved, and it will be canceled next year! ”

The more Liu Jin spoke, the more heartbroken he became, and then he knelt down, slammed his head on the ground and kowtowed three times, and then said in a deep voice: "This is all the slave maid's dizziness and use of the wrong person, and the incompatibility has caused great changes in Ningxia......"

"Well, I'm not asking you for your sin!" Zhu Houzhao knocked on the railing with a hammer that was neither light nor heavy, and then looked at Xu Xun and said, "Xu Xun, tell me, what is going on with Wang Ning and Li Zeng and Deng Guang?" ”

"Your Majesty, Wang Ning did take advantage of the fact that the ministers and Lord Yang were not in Ningxia Town, so he conspired with Li Zeng and Deng Guang to meet the chief soldier Jiang Han and asked him to make a list to inform him about the matter of Tuntian, but he was used by Zhu Ningjiao to incite the army to rebel with him." Speaking of this, Xu Xun paused slightly, and caught a glimpse of Liu Jin's calm face, but he could vaguely see a little nervousness, so he said again, "It's just that on the night Wang Ning and Li Zeng and Deng Guang were killed, the minister rushed back, and Gonggong Zhang had already made a plan, so there was not much turmoil in Ningxia City." Afterwards, Gonggong Zhang and Gonggong Miao raided the eunuch's mansion together, and found that the gold and silver were not less than tens of thousands, and there were quite a lot of illegal things. Wang Ning provoked this turmoil, and this matter is undoubted. ”

This is a fair statement on the matter, Zhu Houzhao nodded when he heard it: "In this case, I will let the cabinet draw up a decree, Zhu Ningyao, the king of Anhua, rebelled, and was heinous. Those rebels, etc., let them send a few people to try with Yang Yiqing. As for Wang Ning and Li Zeng and Deng Guang, although they were killed by the traitors, they already have a way to die, what laws should be used to deal with this......

Although Zhu Houzhao is smart by nature, he does not remember most of the laws and regulations so clearly. At this time, Xu Xun spoke before Liu Jin and said: "Your Majesty, those soldiers who followed Zhu Ningxiao's rebellion are pitiful and intolerable to the law, so if you don't deal with them strictly, I'm afraid that the hearts of the army and the people in Ningxia City will be uneasy." The ministers thought that they should be compared with the law of the Ming Dynasty to radically change the good people, and all the officials of the herdsmen were lost in the illegal acts of the word Fu, and the good people were radically changed, so they gathered the crowd to rebel and lost the city, and those who were beheaded. If it weren't for Father-in-law Zhang's quick response this time, the fall of the city would be difficult to protect, so the ministers asked them to show the same heads as Zhu Ningyao. ”

Although Liu Jin also wanted the matter to end with these three people, but now that Xu Xun didn't even let go of the dead, he couldn't help but be secretly angry in his heart. Seeing that Zhu Houzhao nodded happily, he swallowed back the refutation on his lips, but his eyes narrowed. …,

Seeing that Zhu Houzhao obviously had no objection to this measure, Xu Xun continued: "The reason why Zhu Ningxiao's conspiracy did not succeed is that Zhang Gonggong took precautions and recruited more than 200 people from the army to wipe out the backbone of the traitorous party. And the second is that the Ji people of the Qingwang Mansion committed suicide after stuffing the snow blade Zhu Ningjiao, leaving the rebel party without a leader, so the court should praise his righteous deeds......"

Liu Jin finally caught a loophole, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Ping Beibo said that he should praise meritorious soldiers, which is due, but that woman is just a happy household in Qingwangfu, and she can't bear the abuse and kills her, even if the result is in addition to Zhu Ningxiao, a traitor, but after all, it is also a crime, if even this should be praised, if someone follows in the future......"

"Gonggong Liu, these four words are inappropriate, right? When he stuffed the snow hand blade Zhu Ningxiao, he had already pretended that the princess was pregnant, killed Li Zeng, Deng Guang and Wang Ning on the banquet, and even let people chase and kill the chief soldier Jiang Han and seize the six gates of Ningxia City. If you don't praise it, when you encounter this kind of thing in the future, who can you expect to stand up and defend the program? ”

Liu Jin didn't care about a dead Ji person, but he just didn't want Xu Xun to play one thing at a time. However, at this moment, Xu Xun's words were so sharp that people couldn't argue, and he saw Zhu Houzhao's expression of great approval, remembering that An Weixue said that Xu Xun actually married those Lehu Ji people in Qingwang's Mansion to meritorious soldiers after they got rid of their nationality, and he said with a smile after he settled down: "Pingbeibo really pities the fragrance and cherishes the jade, loves the house and Wu, I heard that you also asked for the entire Caiyun class where the snow is stuffed from King Qing, and gave them a free birth, and rewarded the meritorious soldiers this time?" ”

Listening to Liu Jin's words, he was accusing himself of having personal affairs with others, but Xu Xun was not angry at all, but laughed: "Father-in-law Liu, this pity and jade love house and black eight words are not used correctly." Under Zhu Ning's obscenity, the city is full of rebels, but these Lehu Ji people staged a dance of loyalty and righteousness in the hall, singing the song of loyalty and righteousness, the so-called women are sassy and heroic, and this is the case. Isn't it a good story to give them to those meritorious soldiers? ”

"That's right, that's a good story!" Zhu Houzhao, who looked at Xu Xun and Liu Jin's arguing words, finally opened his mouth as if he had a final word, and then said with great interest, "King Qing has no responsibility as a prince, he only knows how to spend time and drink!" If I were there, I would simply ask all the happy households in Qingwangfu, and all of them would be allocated to those soldiers who had no wives! ”
