Madame Blossom didn't look back: "Is there anything else in the official family?" ”

"This ......," Zhao Guangyi said embarrassedly, "the project is too big, it requires a huge amount of money, and at the same time it needs millions of labor. Hua Rui, can we cultivate a small one first, and then expand it after I conquer the Northern Han and Liao Kingdoms? ”

"Yes!"

Zhao Guangyi was overjoyed: "Great! The stamen is really considerate. What I promised......"

"Don't worry," Mrs. Hua Rui turned around slowly and looked at Zhao Guangyi: "The mourning family hasn't finished talking yet." -- When the mourners said yes, they meant that the officials could cancel the decision. There is no need to build this garden for the mourners, not even the small ones. ”

Zhao Guangyi smiled awkwardly: "Flower stamen......!" ”

"If the official agrees to build this garden, he will start construction immediately, and if he doesn't, it will only be a joke. There's no need to haggle over the bargain. If you cultivate the small one first, then the mourning family would rather not want it, so that the official family will not be said to be extravagant and indulgent in beauty, and can also concentrate on the great things of conquering the four seas. Therefore, it should be regarded as laughing with the mourners. With that, he turned and walked away.

Zhao Guangyi hurriedly chased after him: "Hua Rui, don't worry, we can discuss." ”

"Not negotiable!" Madame Hua Rui stopped, turned around, and looked at him: "The first wish that this concubine put forward to the official family, originally, the concubine also wanted to build a bigger one, that is, there are many places where the official family uses money and people, so she retreated to the second best place and said a minimum standard." I can't think of it, even this minimum requirement can't be done by the officials, so what else can they say. Lord Leng has been talking about the benefits of the official family in front of the concubines, and even said that the official family said that as long as the concubines are willing, they will ask the stars in the sky and the official family will also set up a ladder to take them off. The concubine didn't ask for the stars in the sky, but just a pool of lake water, but it was so difficult, did she still expect the stars in the sky? The official family said that the monarch had no jokes, but the official family had just agreed to something, and they repented in a blink of an eye, so how could the concubines believe the words of the official family? That's it, the concubine retired! Officials, please take care of yourself. ”

With that, Madame Blossom seemed to be weeping, and hid her face.

Zhao Guangyi's face was red, he caught up a few steps, and said loudly: "Hua Rui, you let me think about it again, okay?" ”

Madame Blossom did not speak, but went straight to the Buddha Hall.

Zhao Guangyi stood there for a long time, feeling the cold wind, he couldn't help but sneeze, and when he looked up, the sky was overcast, and it seemed that it was going to snow. Quickly hugged your shoulders, turned around and walked back.

Leng Yi, Wang Jien and Long Zhen waited there, and when they saw Zhao Guangyi's unruly appearance, they knew that the result was not good, and they didn't dare to say anything.

Zhao Guangyi walked forward, and when he reached the corner of the Buddhist hall, he saw two princesses coming over with palace maids, laughing softly. Seeing Zhao Guangyi, he hurriedly owed a blessing: "The concubine visits the official family!" ”

These two are the eldest princess of Lu and the eldest princess of Wei Guo, the daughter of Zhao Kuangyin, Taizu of Song. They are siblings, both born to Empress He.

Zhao Guangyi barely squeezed out a smile: "What are you doing?" ”

"The two of us went to the Buddha Hall to visit my sister, Princess Yongguo. She was busy reciting scriptures with the concubine, and she didn't have time to talk to us, so we came out and walked casually. Didn't the official say it before he came? To plant peonies and red gardenias in this Nanke Temple, we are looking at where to plant them! ”

Zhao Guangyi came in mainly to soak Mrs. Blossom, but when he saw that he couldn't eat the fat in his mouth, of course he was unwilling, so he stayed and waited for future opportunities. He said: "Well, wait for now," he looked up at the sky where the black clouds were overpowering, and said: "It seems that there is going to be a blizzard today, and you can't plant it yet, otherwise you will freeze to death if you plant it." Let's wait and see. ”

At this moment, the eldest princess of Wei suddenly screamed and pointed at Zhao Guangyi's shoulder: "Oops! There's a bug! Climbing it! ”

Zhao Guangyi looked sideways, but didn't see it. I saw the eldest princess of the country of Lu walking over quickly, and gently pulled a small insect on Zhao Guangyi's shoulder.

This little insect may have fallen from a branch when Zhao Guangyi was talking to Mrs. Hua Rui under the peach and apricot trees before. At this moment, she was pinched between her fingers by the eldest princess of Yongguo, and several little feet were waving wildly, and her little head was shaking.

The eldest princess of the country of Lu sneered, snapped, and flattened the little insect. Filthy liquid stained her fingers. A pleasant smile appeared on her lips.

The eldest princess of Wei and her palace maids all screamed, and the palace maids behind the eldest princess of Lu seemed to be surprised, and came over and handed her a handkerchief. She threw away the bug in her hand and took the handkerchief to wipe it off.

Zhao Guangyi frowned and said, "Take care of the moth gauze lamp." This is the pure land of Buddhism, how can you kill at will? ”

The eldest princess of the Lu country smiled and owed a blessing: "The concubine forgot that this is the place where the concubine retreats, please forgive the official family!" ”

Zhao Guangyi glanced at her and walked past them with his hands behind his back. After passing the corridor, I arrived at the door of the Buddhist hall, but I saw Mrs. Hua Rui kneeling in front of the portrait of the former emperor Zhao Kuangyin, bowing her head and reciting scriptures. Kneeling next to her was Ling Yan, the elder sister of the eldest princess of Lu and the eldest princess of Wei, the daughter of Zhao Kuangyin, and the original eldest princess of Yongguo. After listening to the footsteps, he turned his head to see that it was an official, and then looked at Mrs. Hua Rui, but when he saw Madame Hua Rui bowing her head and chanting, as if she hadn't heard it, she had to bow her head and continue to recite the scriptures.

Zhao Guangyi whispered: "Flower Stamen Guifei Niangniang!" ”

Madame Blossom didn't react, as if she was completely immersed in the world of the Buddha.

Looking at Mrs. Hua Rui's graceful figure that could not be covered by the wide monk's robe, Zhao Guangyi drooled when he saw it, and then shouted a few more times, and the sound of Madame Hua Rui chanting scriptures finally stopped. She didn't turn around, still kneeling on the futon, looking at the portrait of Zhao Kuangyin on the wall, and said lightly: "Is there something wrong with the official family?" ”

Zhao Guangyi turned to Leng Yi and the others: "You all retreat!" ”

"No need!" Madame Blossom interjected: "It's almost noon, and the mourning family is going back to rest." If the official family has something to say, let's talk about it in the afternoon. ”

Zhao Guangyi had no choice but to smile and nod.

Madame Hua Rui took Ling Yan and stepped out of the door and went to the dormitory.

Zhao Guangyi then followed, followed all the way to Mrs. Hua Rui's bedroom, and watched her enter the dormitory from a distance, and the tall and tall Dasha stood at the door loyally and watched.

Just when Zhao Guangyi was looking at the door in despair, Wang Jien behind him suddenly said: "It's snowing!" ”

Zhao Guangyi looked up, and sure enough, the snow in the sky was fluttering, from one flower to one by one, and in a blink of an eye, Zhao Guangyi's shoulders were already covered with snow.

Another gust of cold wind blew, and Zhao Guangyi gave a cold shiver, covering his nose and sneezing again. Wang Jien hurriedly said: "Official, it's cold, go back to the house quickly?" ”

Zhao Guangyi nodded: "Have the houses been arranged?" ”

"It's arranged, the official's house is on the right side of the Daxiong Treasure Hall."

The Daxiong Treasure Hall is a sculpture of Sakyamuni, and the portrait of Zhao Kuangyin is placed on the right, he is on the left, the left is above, and the status is still above the former emperor Zhao Kuangyin, this arrangement makes Zhao Guangyi very satisfied, and he rarely showed a smile: "What about the others?" ”

"It's all arranged in the wings on both sides." Wang Jien said.

"Did they say anything?"

He didn't say anything else, but just asked what he was going to do with his accommodation, and if he wanted to stay here for a long time? The old slave said that he could not leave until he planted flowers, and this had already obtained the approval of the flower stamen concubine, but it was estimated that it would snowstorm today, and he couldn't plant it, so he had to wait for tomorrow. The old slave said that if you come, you will be safe, and the official family will serve the emperor quietly in the temple for one night, and besides, it is already mid-spring now, this is just a cold spring, at most one day, it will turn sunny and warm, and when the snow stops tomorrow, you can plant flowers. Having said this, the mother, the princess and the little prince didn't ask anything more. ”

"Good!"

As he spoke, he came to the room on the left side of the Mahavira Hall, which was already covered with a golden futon. Several large pots of charcoal fires were raised, and carpets were laid on the ground, and the whole room was warm.

Zhao Guangyi walked to the soft collapse in the middle and sat cross-legged, and glanced at it, only Wang Jien who came in with him in the room. said: "What about Leng Yi?" ”

Wang Jien hurriedly said: "He is the royal belt, and he can't be seen unless he has a will." So he and Long Zhen are waiting outside. ”

"Call him in!"

Wang Jien hurriedly agreed, walked out quickly, and invited Leng Yi in.

After Leng Yi saluted, he stood beside him.

Zhao Guangyi said: "Hua Rui Niangniang put forward a request, let me build an artificial lake with a water surface of 10,000 acres and a depth of three zhang, and complete it within two years!" No less than 10,000 pavilions and palaces will be built inside. What do you guys think? ”

Leng Yi and Wang Jien were both taken aback, and smacked their tongues: "This, it's too big." ”

Zhao Guangyi smiled bitterly: "I said the same thing, and besides, I didn't listen carefully before, so I nodded and agreed, and when I heard it really, I didn't feel right, what should I do?" ”

Wang Jien said: "If the official family wants to use troops in the north, it is the time to use money and grain, and they have accumulated last year's harvest, plus this year's harvest, the military food of the Northern Expedition is almost the same." However, if such a huge project is to be started now, I am afraid that it will affect the Northern Expedition! ”

Zhao Guangyi said: "That's for sure, I had a rough calculation in my stomach before, at least seventy or eighty percent of our accumulated grain and treasury silver!" Moreover, it will be necessary to use at least a million people! At that time, when the Northern Expedition will come from, where will the people come from? I'm afraid this battle won't be fought! And if you want to raise it back to the current level, it will take at least two years, and here it will be four years! In other words, it will take at least four years before you can have the conditions to attack the Northern Han and Liao Kingdoms! ”

Wang Jien nodded frequently and said, "The official family, can you discuss with Hua Rui Niangniang, wait for the official family to destroy the Northern Han Dynasty and the Liao Kingdom, and then build this Jinming Pond?" ”
