There are several songs, the twilight clouds are stacked, and the stars and willows look at each other. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Looking back on the old things in Pengcheng, I hate parting and can't remember it.

Today, when I am drunk, I am idle and lonely, so my mind can be easy.

When we met, we smiled and asked Dongjun, why is the flower heavy.

——"Beiming Epic: The Legend of Wei Hao"

"How can I laugh," I said sincerely, "the last general only hears the mother's feelings, the words are sincere, the sentences are true, there is no slightest delicate intention, and I feel that the mother is kind." ”

"Even so, last year, my brother told me that the failure of the new warship experiment really scared me, and it sounded like it had something to do with my own people leaking the wind, or how to act secretly, so that the middle was ruined.

In those days, the lord was also quite angry, and now that the palace thinks about it, he still feels frightened, you say, if it is such a big thing, it can be known to people, and if you move your hands and feet, then it can be so much more difficult to prevent.

In this harem, it is not simple, but no matter how cumbersome, it is not more than some diet and medicine, daily utensils, palace maids and eunuchs, and personnel exchanges, as long as they can be controlled and prevented, they will not let anyone cover the sky with one hand.

But the affairs of the country and the society are not something that the palace can take care of, if it is not for the love of the lord and the help of the princess, the palace is always afraid of its own emperor, what grievances have it suffered. Song Guifei moved her hand lightly, pulled up the corners of her sleeves, and said slowly, "Outside, I really hope that there will be more people to take care of them." ”

"Yes," I didn't know how to answer, so I just nodded yes again and again, and listened to Song Guifei with a smile.

Song Guifei asked for another time, mostly about the princes in the army, and I only picked up the ones that made the mother feel at ease, and the conversation made the mother gradually tired, so I retired and walked out.

The maid sent me out of the palace on her own. I thought about what Prince Ning said in the past, what Li Congshi said, and what I saw in my father's spy network before, I expected that there were roughly three factions in the current Beiming harem:

One faction is the queen and the eldest prince, behind which are grain and horse merchants and local gentry, and the power of the old Liangshan faction;

And Song Guifei relied on Song Zhongfang and other arms and technical merchants, as well as Prince Youjing, the long-awaited prince, who belonged to a faction that the lord was also trying to support;

The eldest princess mediated among the princes, mastered the secret spy forces and the palace forces, and always planned the forces of the world for the Lord - this faction is naturally dealing with Luo Wei first, and the forces of the eldest prince and the queen who are not the bloodline of the lord, and it is difficult to say what to do in the future.

And in the shadows, there are naturally many other mothers and their mothers, uncles, and princes, once one day the main contradiction is lost, then other forces will naturally break through the ground and bring out the strength of the shadows that have been brewing for many years.

Thinking of the inner palace of Xinyue, because of the fierce palace fighting, since the founding of Xinyue, there are not a few emperors who have difficult heirs.

Emperor Taizu of Xinyue, fifty-six years old to get a son, because his son was young, his mother urged, Taizu was forced to pass the throne to his brother Taizong, so after the death, the widow and young son were killed by Taizong, and even the grandson of Taizu was not spared.

The sons of Emperor Taizong and Emperor Gaozong were all born when they did not succeed to the throne as princes, and later Yingzong and Emperor Renzong were also difficult heirs, and Ruizong and Xizong simply only had daughters, no sons, and were forced to succeed the sons of the brothers in the ancestors to succeed to the throne

- It's just that after ascending the throne, it will be difficult for the orphan daughter and widow of the old emperor in the past to get any good ending.

Looking at it now, the palace fight like Xinyue may have staged the battle for the heir in advance of the power struggle between men, and it has become a ruthless means for women to strangle each other's young sons to adulthood. The so-called royal is nothing more than that.

In the evening, we had dinner together in Fu Shao's house, although Fu Shao did not return from official business, I had a fight with Xing Qiuyan, Fu Yu, and Fu Qingshuang, and I was very happy.

Xing Qiuyan added a few new exquisiteness in the Prime Minister's Mansion, the courtyard in the east, said that it was because of the guidance of Mr. Feng Shui, adding broken jade paving, Hanjuan for flowers, geothermal water in, Ran Ran Pond, seizing the world and creating nature, dense like silk like clouds, like the Ning Bi Pond of fairyland.

There is also another venue for gathering and performing arts, with blue waves and clear ponds, craggy rockeries and strange stones as the curtain, black tiles and white walls and ink-dyed water pavilions as corridors, gold and jade pendants, from time to time there are pruning flowers, cultivating Huixiu beautiful trees, and sprinkling and sweeping people come and go to shuttle endlessly.

I looked at Xing Qiuyan, she wore a silver-red silver thread sprinkled with flowers on the Yuehua Linfeng group today, combed a high bun, wore a rich and solemn gold silk longevity peach Ruyi inlaid jade coral pair hairpin, with a gold-edged jade hairpin flower swaying, the body was draped in gold and silver, the face was fragrant, and there was quite an exaggeration and a natural enveloping and banter posture when people laughed and scolded.

I know the character of Xing Qiuyan, the housewife, if you talk about treating people, raising eyebrows and low eyes, and getting along with people, this housewife must also be said to be a thoughtful person, but her cheesiness is also natural, and it is really funny to transform the originally beautiful Xiangfu into a situation full of explosive household stacking temperament.

But I don't think I'm a troublemaker, in Fufu, there is always a kind of heartlessness that doesn't treat myself as an outsider, cherishing the beauty of the world in front of me, which is originally what I want in my heart, so I rarely say anything to joke and mock, and talk to myself.

The next day, Fu Shao finished his business from Jiagucheng and returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, Xing Qiuyan was very happy, so he went to invite Fu Yan and his relatives and friends to come, and also called two classes of pipa guqin players to play and drink in the mansion.

It's just that Beiming's guqin sighs a song of the autumn moon in the Han Palace, and it is like an ambush on all sides, and the grandeur is very heavy, which makes me quite surprised, and I can't help but think in my heart, if he is a senior spy who uses the appearance of a vulgar and wealthy outburst to cover up his behavior, what will it be? Isn't that a great cover-up?

But then, during the banquet, Xing Qiuyan kept talking about my marriage, at this point, that is, my biological mother is alive, I am afraid that it is just so enthusiastic, seeing her Zhang Luo in every detail, and she is very attentive, I am also moved in my heart, and her words and deeds are everywhere to deal with Shao's true feelings, so I will not be suspicious for the time being.

After all, now, looking at everything, the Prime Minister's Mansion is still the same Xiangfu as it used to be, with the enthusiasm and scheming of the housewife, cute and tacky, as well as all kinds of people and troubled affairs.

Fu Shao is still the same Fu Shao, whether he teaches me or cares for me, it is not so much out of political necessity as it is about the affection of people who are close to each other according to their instincts.

I think that his own unique personality charm may also be his biggest weapon.

"This is the list of people who came to talk to us this time, you can take a look" After dinner that day, Fu Shao called me to the study to talk about this joint meeting.

Compared with other places in the Xiangfu, Fu Shao's study can be regarded as the most simple and exquisite place, with a set of bookshelf desks, stools and chairs made of simple and precious agarwood mahogany.

The silver-gilt-edged narrow-sleeved robe on Fu Shao's body looks like the handiwork of a Xiaoxiang tailor shop in Pengcheng, simple and elegant. At the same time, Fu Shao is more than 30 years old, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a face like a crown of jade, clothes and belts, and a typical elegant and beautiful man's behavior when sitting and standing.

As he spoke, he handed over a scroll of silk books, and I quickly took it with both hands.

Looking at the past in turn, among the new and more envoys, there are:

Zhao Jingming, the fifth lieutenant of Beiying (in charge of the martial cavalry, the tun cavalry, the feather cavalry, the flying cavalry, the fire cavalry),

Jian Beizheng is also the commander of the fire gun Zang Ye,

In front of the palace, Lu Zhong'an was checked,

Armament Junior Supervisor Cai Youxue,

Wuwei Sima Shen Shuyang,

Guangwudong General Yu Wenchen has a total of six people.

"Although it is based on his official position, headed by Yu Wenchen, the general of Guangwudong, in fact, Wuwei Sima Shen Shuyang has been a military and foreign envoy for many years, and he is now a think-tank figure of the Xinyue Emperor, so in terms of influence, this person is the first."

Fu Shao slowly explained to me, "In fact, this matter focuses on verifying its specific content one by one, and the two sides are win-win, of course, because the collection of military funds and armaments and so on rely on the various consortia in Beiming, so the strong desire of the consortium businessmen to share minerals must also be taken into account, but since it is a negotiation, there will be a compromise, just do your best." ”

"Yes." Although I agreed, it seemed that I suddenly knew why the eldest princess intended to let me replace Fu Shao as a foreign envoy.

This Wuwei Sima Shen Shuyang was born as a subordinate official brought to his father by his grandfather back then, so he naturally recognized me, and recognized me, and the result was nothing more than either taking into account in the negotiations, or he was suspicious of his father's private relationship with Beiming, and he had a dislike with his father, no matter what the situation was, it was not a bad thing for Beiming.

Moreover, Fu Shao was born as the son of an official eunuch of the civil official group, while Beiming has always believed that the weakness and compromise of the civilian political group is an irresponsible approach.

Unlike Wenchen, they care more about the peace of a scene and a kind of Confucian eclecticism, and Fu Shao's words are a clear proof of this.

It's just that I also understand in my own heart that the so-called compromise is impossible, and in the explanation between the eldest princess and the lord, it clearly means that Beiming should not let it go at all, and if you want to fight together, you must let Xinyue pay for its own mineral transportation and other key exchanges.

In terms of attitude and handling methods, you can learn from Fu Shao, mellow and tactful, but the conclusion and bottom line are not moving.

But as Fu Shao said, when resisting foreign enemies together at this moment, sharing is also a win-win situation, and Yu Wenyong's paper sheepskin, after all, gave us a big favor, this time his younger brother Yu Wenchen took the lead in going to this negotiation, but also take into account his position and consider maneuvering.

Among all this, how to be a curtain is also a kind of kung fu and skill that must be mastered in every detail of proportion.

The next day, I got up early and went to climb the mountain to move my muscles, and when I came back, it was still early, so I went straight to find Kong Lifei to catch up.

When I arrived at the Beppu of the Kong family, I asked the doorman, only to know that this kid had already gone to the CW Hou Mansion to mix rice, so I asked where the CW Hou Mansion was located and went to visit.

CW Hou Mansion because it is for Xiong Luo'er after the marquis, only according to the rules of the mansion, so the courtyard wall gate is a color of vermilion lacquer newly dyed, even a pair of lanterns at the door is also fresh new words decorated, only different, at the door erected two drums, seems to be in place of the door of the people to pass on.

I saw that the sheepskin drum was also quite interesting, so I took the drumstick and knocked it a few times, and after a while, I saw Luo'er's official family come out to visit, I reported my name, and he went in to pass it on, but before a while, I saw Kong Lifei and Xiong Luo'er both came out to greet them, and each looked surprised.

When Kong Lifei saw me, he didn't welcome me first, but asked me strangely, "Fu Yannian, do you have any sisters who want to join the army?" ”

I was puzzled and said, "Why do you say that?" I don't have any sisters. ”

Xiong Luo'er over there seemed to understand something, and laughed, "Then do you play the drums?" ”

I also understood that this drum was probably beaten by a woman who admired Xiong Luo'er when she came, and laughed for a while.

"Go in and say," Kong Lifei also understood, pulled me up and walked inside. The butler was confused at the door for a moment before he came with him.

Entering the door, a pungent smell of smoke rushed to the sky, only to see Xiong Luoer and Kong Lifei look at each other, shouting "bad", the two of them rushed to one place together, I naturally followed, only to see a bunch of people were fetching water by the kitchen, extinguishing the fire, clanging, and Xiong Luoer and Kong Lifei were staring wide-eyed.

I was about to open my mouth to ask if Lord CW Hou was going to cook in person today, but I saw General Xiong Huaiyi who heard the news.

So he hurriedly saluted and said hello. Xiong Huaiyi glanced at me, "Okay, I'm back." So I hurriedly went to see what was going on, but I saw Xiong Luo'er and Kong Lifei blocking them, saying that the fire had been extinguished, and I was in a hurry to let the old general and I go to talk first, so that the two of them could deal with the matter.

I knew that I had become a shield as soon as I came, and I was very helpless, so I had to pull the old general, and I easily walked to the hospitality hall together.

"Sit down." Xiong Huaiyi saw the situation just now, and guessed in his heart, so he said to me, "Luo'er and this kid are messing around at home, which makes people laugh."

As he spoke, he sat down on one of the chairs at the top, while I sat down on the guest seat with two chairs on the left and right sides of the hand, and a pear wood square table with a horseshoe pattern turned out in the middle, with a smile on my face.

"Recently, I heard that the envoys from Xinyue came to discuss the reasons for the process," Xiong Huaiyi said, "It's different, it's already the age of young people," he said, but his face was very peaceful.

I continued to laugh. I muttered to myself that it was a bit unfortunate that I had lunch this time.

Fortunately, soon, a few small people in the house held a bright yellow pear chuck wine table, and then the girls served some dishes one by one, Xiong Luoer and Kong Lifei also came in and stood on the side, and when Xiong Huaiyi called everyone to eat together and greeted a dozen, they all sat down.

When I looked at the dishes on the table, I couldn't help but laugh -

The yam bamboo shoots seem to have become a muddy sauce, the few green vegetables mixed with the meat rolls and green vegetables seem to be ravaged and a little burnt black, the earthy taste of the flower chicken is so fragrant, and the meat foam beans and hot and sour noodles are quite "good".

But fortunately, I'm quite unpicky, so I ate Xiong Huaiyi's frowning eyebrows and strange face. gave Kong Lifei and Xiong Luo'er full face, and sighed in his heart:

What is a friend, this is a friend, what is a comrade-in-arms, this is a comrade-in-arms, I have recalled these two sentences countless times in my heart. But seeing that Xiong Luo'er was already very flexible and skillful in holding chopsticks in his left hand during the banquet, I was also at ease.

"I heard that you will become our first foreign envoy from Beiming?" Xiong Luo'er suddenly floated a bright smile and said, "I also talked to my father about this that day, and I heard many people say that Fu Xianggong recommended you." He is virtuous and does not avoid relatives, and is not afraid of other people's suspicion and spitting. ”

I thought helplessly, I don't need to use the chess pieces that connect the military on both sides of Xinyue and Beiming so well, even if Fu Shao is willing, how can the eldest princess be willing.

But he had to say cynically, "Haha, if you don't do something wrong, won't there be all kinds of spit in the world to drown?" But if you want to do something, you have to be able to bear the spit. ”

"It's really not modest," Kong Lifei also began to tease me with Xiong Luo'er, "It's because you can't get used to the boat and it's a burden of water warfare that made you come back, right?" ”

"Why, I'm going to turn my face," I said with an unhappy look.

"I've gotten used to it, and now I have my own home training to fight vertigo every day. When I send back the Xinyue envoy this time, I must ask for another order to go back and learn water warfare with Prince Jing. ”

"Look at your little fan," Kong Lifei said with a smile, "You'd better do your envoy's errand first." ”

"By the way, I heard that the little emperor of Xinyue is a very interesting person," Xiong Luo'er suddenly remembered something, laughed, and said, "I heard rumors that the little emperor of Xinyue is very fond of military affairs, saying that he is trapped in the deep palace, and he should go out to see it from time to time, so he suddenly ran to the frontier ****, and brought the two eunuchs around him, which is called a low-key."

The point is, while he went out, his imperial uncle suddenly reversed, who knew that the little emperor was not in danger, but said, 'It's good to be opposed, I will go to capture him.' As a result, before he could catch it, the chaos was quelled by Ji Deyun, the current commander of the Praetorian Guard, and he also took down all the traitors of the emperor's uncle.

As a result, the little emperor actually asked for his uncle to be released and had a duel with him, and he himself broke the head of the traitor with an arquebus, and with one shot in the hunting ground. ”

"Is there something you can joke about about the emperor?" After all, Xiong Huaiyi is a new and older person, and when he heard this, it was quite unseemly, so he came out to stop him:

"How old are you yourself, just say that people are little emperors, I think the Xinyue Emperor is very wise, but you, lawless, how can you have a daughter's family."

I thought in my heart, but it was like this, this Xinyue Emperor seems to be messing around, but in fact, he has a deep strategy.

first arranged his own outing, gave the best opportunity to rebel, and secretly organized a plan to control the overall situation with the least sacrifice, and finally, in this way, let the Xinyue people know the importance of firearms.

But after all, I am already Fu Yannian's identity, so it's better not to intervene in this matter.

The Xinyue mission officially arrived in Pengcheng on the sixth day of June.

In addition to me, there are also five foreign affairs reception staff in Beiming:

Including Wei Hao, the chief deacon of legal affairs, and Qi Siyuan, the chief deacon of commercial affairs, who are more profound with Fu Shao on weekdays and are now the mainstay of daily government affairs; Li Jianji, the deputy chief supervisor of the War Bureau, who has a close friendship with Prince Jing's mother and uncle's family, and the eldest prince is the treasury of the two aunts' cousins, Fu Jie, and the eldest princess Xixi, who is now serving as Wang Jin, who is serving as the air force to make sacrificial wine

- This is also Wang Geng's father, who is also handsome and extraordinary, and specializes in medical techniques and uses drugs to repel spies.

The meeting place is located on the opposite side of the military aircraft department, has been used for the reception of foreign affairs in the purple moon pavilion, the design of the purple moon pavilion, is modeled after the Lingyan Pavilion in the medieval era, the demeanor is retro and beautiful, the outer square and the inner circle, the main hall is surrounded by eight corridors, the outer side of the curved water flows, the side hall can be used as the envoy to sleep, for dining, a total of eight layers, the eaves bucket, antique.
