The eunuchs of the Chinese dynasties were insidious and ruthless, many times more than ordinary people.

Of course, there are good eunuchs, but they are as rare as a duck egg coming out of a chicken coop.

When Xiao Buyi faced Kuang Shuai, his scalp was a little numb, and when he faced the two masters Wang Xuba and Wei Dao'er, he didn't have such a troublesome time.

Kuang Shuai said that he was not very old, but he was only in his forties, but he was not short when he entered the palace, at least more than 20 years, he was a eunuch when the first emperor was there, of course, he was still a eunuch when Yang Guang arrived, and a eunuch is a eunuch, and it is impossible to become a real man, only an old eunuch.

Kuang Gongjian has no beard, his face is very white, but there are many wrinkles, and his face is more like a grandmother than Li Yuan. He looked a little fat, his muscles were very relaxed, and he didn't use his trouser belt to hold his stomach, Xiao Buyi was very suspicious that his belly would hit the top of his feet.

Of course, it's nothing for a person to be fat, and nothing to be old, the Buddha said, these are just a set of skins, but this skin thinks that he is very good, and he always makes a chic look, that is, what makes Xiao Buyi can't help but want to fight.

He came to Jinyang in Taiyuan County for only half a day, but in the face of this Kuang Palace Supervisor with a disgusting fragrance, he felt that a year had passed.

He found Pei Bei, let go of his worries, and finally set off from Liangjun quickly, crossed the Yellow River, and went straight to Taiyuan.

Although Yuan Qiaoxi is young, she is very careful, she finally found Pei Bei's message near the wellhead, if Xiao Buyi had seen the message earlier, she would not have worked hard to find it for a day. Pei Bei is also very careful, knowing that even if a fire is set on fire, the place where Doctor Leshen's house cannot be burned is the stove, and the other is of course the well. She also thought deeply about leaving a message by the well, but what she didn't consider was that Xiao Buyi was sometimes no different from ordinary people, Xiao Buyi didn't find the message, and the same was true for the bearded guest. Although they are all smart people, there are some things that women still don't understand women's minds as well.

Fortunately, all this has passed, no matter whether the message is seen or not, Xiao Buyi still found Pei Bei, but this is not an end, on the contrary, this is a beginning. Xiao Buyi is still a modern person in his bones, he brought Pei Bei back, and he didn't take into account Yuan Qiaoxi's affairs at all, but the moment he saw Yuan Qiaoxi, he knew that there were still some things to consider. Yuan Qiaoxi does not have Pei Bei's bleak life experience, although she is involuntary in marriage, but after all, she grew up in a greenhouse, and her ten fingers do not stick to the oil star, so it is not easy for her to light a fire. Her white and tender face was smoked like the king of the stove, and her jade little hands were also blistered with blood, but she didn't complain, doing anything for her beloved, sometimes just a word of encouragement could dilute all the hardships. But she didn't hear Xiao Buyi's encouragement, Xiao Buyi seemed to have become mute!

Xiao Buyi, judging from his modern concept, always feels that two women can be good to a man is a bit like an Arab myth, or it should be said, it has always been a myth that men can reach, of course he loves Pei Bei deeply, this kind of feeling is accumulated on the basis of life and death, he can't pretend not to know, but now he has a good impression of Yuan Qiaoxi, he has always wanted to find a way to get the best of both worlds, but he can't find it. However, Yuan Qiaoxi didn't regard this as a problem, she was born with that kind of well-behaved surname, the moment she saw Pei Bei, she was not hostile at all, but happily went over to ask questions.

Perhaps it was Yuan Qiaoxi's enthusiasm that infected Pei Bei, and Pei Bei quickly got along with Yuan Qiaoxi, but ignored Xiao Buyi. Xiao Buyi didn't expect this kind of ending, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

The two daughters don't seem to have any troubles, they live in harmony, and the rest of the things are resolved naturally. Yuan Qiaoxi decided to stay and take care of Pei Bei, and Pei Bei did not object. After the bearded guest checked Pei Bei's pulse, he judged the same as Doctor Le Shen, Pei Bei's medicine was useless, and what she needed was her own potential and perseverance. The bearded guest is not a miracle doctor, but he knows Sun Simiao, and he is also a master of the family, and sometimes his insights are far more brilliant than ordinary doctors. The Yi Jin Sutra is his foundation, but he is very familiar with the method of regulating his breath, and he decided to teach Pei Bei the method of practicing breath to enhance his physique. Doctor Le Shen didn't agree, but when he heard what the bearded guest said, he couldn't help but feel sorry for him, and decided to let the bearded guest try it. But after all, this is a matter of life, and the bearded guest is also pondering and teaching, so it is inevitable that it will be a waste of time, Pei Bei heard that Xiao Buyi had something to do in Taiyuan, and he didn't want to delay his time at the moment. Xiao Buyi knew her temper, so she asked the bearded guest to stay for a few more days to see the situation, and she and a group of subordinates went to Taiyuan.

It's not a day on the way, but the road is not much different from when he went down to the east, but when he went south along the Fenshui River, there were only Huang Sheren and two guards around him, but this time it was a front and back hug, there were dozens of people around him to call, and there were officials to receive him all the way, which was really something he didn't expect when he went to the east.

He went north along the Fenshui River, and found that the mountains and rivers along the way remained the same, but there were only more victims, all of whom were hungry and yellow, and they were unstable on their feet, but they could also come out with a rusty kitchen knife to rob.

Of course, these robbers couldn't help Xiao Buyi, but they made his heart twitch fiercely, because they really couldn't live without robbing, but even if they robbed, there were not many of them who could survive. Soon after passing through the Bird Mouse Valley, he arrived in Jinyang, and then he saw the Kuang Palace Eunuch, who was more palpitating than bones.

Kuang Gongjian didn't notice Xiao Buyi's feelings, maybe he was narcissistic and couldn't find other people's feelings at all, after filling Xiao Buyi with a cup of fragrant tea with his own hands, Kuang Gongjian almost hit Xiao Buyi's body again, "Lord Xiao, is this journey still smooth?" ”

Seeing that the palace eunuch Kuang even had some affection, Xiao Buyi just spit out the overnight meal, "Everything is going well, by the way, Kuang Palace Eunuch, when will the saint see me?" ”

Kuang Gongjian thought for a while, "It's about tomorrow, maybe the day after tomorrow, maybe the day after tomorrow." It's just that Lord Xiao shouldn't be too anxious, if the Holy Lord wants to see you, I will definitely be the first to inform you, you can rest assured! ”

"Lord Xiao, the Holy One has summoned." Pei Lin walked in at some point and robbed the palace eunuch for the first time.

Kuang Gong Supervisor's white face turned a little blue, "Pei Lian, haven't you drunk too much?" The saint said that he was not happy during this time, and no one was seen. ”

Pei Lin shook his head, with indescribable happiness, "Back to my father-in-law, I am indescribably sober now." When I was delivering the items I needed to the inner palace, I happened to meet the saint, and the saint casually asked, why hasn't Xiao Buyi arrived in Jinyang yet, and I said that I had actually arrived yesterday. When the saint heard this, he only scolded someone for not doing things, and when he heard that he was angry now, he asked the lower officials to immediately summon Lord Xiao into the palace. ”

Pei Lin doesn't call an adult and only calls his father-in-law, which is obviously sarcastic, but what does he imply when he calls him so. Kuang Palace Supervisor's face turned a little green, and he forced a smile: "Is that so, then I don't know, I'll take Lord Xiao into the palace immediately......"

"The Holy One said no." Pei Lin sighed softly, "The saint said that my father-in-law is old, and he can return to his hometown." ”

Kuang Gong Supervisor sat down on the ground with a 'coo' sound, foaming at the mouth. Pei Lin didn't pay attention to it, but just stretched out his hand to make a gesture of please, "Lord Xiao, please." ”

Xiao Buyi had always felt that Pei Lin couldn't do anything big, but now it seems that he has finally done a good thing.

Kuang Gongjian was not enthusiastic, but he just wanted to rub oil from him, of course, he may also have the idea of reaping both wealth and sex, but he didn't expect a thought, but he lost his official position. Pei Lin seems to be a drunkard, but he can step on it, and he will not let Wang Shichong at all.

"Lord Xiao has worked hard all the way." Pei Lin was in good order in front of Xiao Buyi.

"It's just the duty of a courtier." Xiao Buyi responded. The two of them didn't say anything, and after sending Xiao Buyi into the palace, Pei Lin came out and saw a person looking at him with a smile, and said with joy on his face: "Wen Jing, your idea is really high, just let me see the saint, and with a casual word, I cleaned up the dead eunuch, and I don't have to look at his face to do things in the future." ”

Liu Wenjing said with a smile: "Congratulations to Master Pei, he is the deputy palace supervisor of Jinyang, it seems that the position of this palace supervisor of Jinyang is also waitable." ”

Pei Lin smiled on his face and danced with his hands, but he didn't notice a strange look flashing in Liu Wenjing's eyes.

**Xiao Buyi had already arrived at Yang Guang's side at this time, compared to when he was in the Eastern Capital, Yang Guang's eyebrows looked a little tighter, and he was followed by Yu Wenshu, Pei Yun and Yu Shiji. Yang Guangxun's practice is to follow all the ministers who are close to him, which is of course trust, but also more or less because of distrust. Thinking of what Wang Shicheng said at the beginning of his stay in Jiangdu, Xiao Buyi can only be cautious, there are advantages and disadvantages to being outside for a long time, the advantage is that the emperor is far away, and he can do whatever he wants. The disadvantage is, of course, that there are ministers who are rumoring all day long, and when they meet this moody Yang Guang, they don't know when they will be killed.

"Buyi, sit down." Yang Guang saw Xiao Buyi, his frowning brows stretched a little, in his mind, this Xiao Buyi was recommended by Queen Xiao Pei Mingcui, and he was close to him, and he was low-key, not striving for merit and profit, and worthy of trust.

There are not many people who can understand him now, and there are even fewer people who can be trusted by him, if Pei Mingcui hadn't gone to Youzhou to arrest Wang Xuba and Wei Dao'er, he could have helped himself.

It's just that the thought slipped by in an instant, Yang Guang shook his head, and sighed in his heart. Xiao Buyi shook his head when he saw him, but he didn't know what he was thinking, so he didn't wait for Yang Guang to ask, and first described Yangzhou and his party. He said it very carefully, even if he went to the music room, he was blunt, of course, these were all counted on Yuan Tiangang's head, he only said that the sky was difficult to understand, he just did things according to the tips.

Xiao Buyi knew that this kind of thing could not be lied, just because he was caught in a wrong place in front of everyone, and it was likely that the entire hard work of going south would be in vain. The smile on Yu Wenshu's face was a little stiff, but Pei Yun nodded in approval, and Yu Shiji took the lead and said: "Holy Lord, Xiao Shaoqing is loyal, and he really lived up to the Holy Lord's trust." ”

Yang Guang nodded, and said in a deep voice: "Yuan Dao is a genius, even if I don't understand it, just do what he says." By the way, has Xuanhua's Qionghua bloomed? ”

Xiao Buyi nodded and said, "Back to the saint, it is blooming." ”

Yang Guang finally sighed, "I haven't been to see Xuanhua for a long time, and she probably blames me." ”

The ministers were silent, but Xiao Buyi comforted softly: "Holy Lord, Mrs. Xuanhua has always put the Holy Lord first, and she knows that the Holy Lord is busy with great things, so she must also understand the difficulties of the Holy One. ”

Yang Guang looked outside the palace, revealing a look of remembrance, but Yu Shiji said: "Shengshang, it's a matter here, the Shengshang can go down to Jiangnan again." Yang Guang frowned, and no longer discussed the matter of going to the south of the Yangtze River, but just asked Xiao Buyi some trivial matters.

Fortunately, Xiao Buyi was careful and knew that these were inevitable, so he did his homework, and the details of Xuanhuayuan let him describe it, and everyone was immersive. Yang Guang listened with relish, and after listening, he said: "Buyi has worked hard. ”

Such a compliment is really a rare praise for Yang Guang, and it can be regarded as the highest praise, Xiao Buyi can only be humble, Yang Guang sat on the dragon chair and looked outside the palace, and said after a while: "Presumably Yuan Daochang's magic plan has worked, a few nights ago when I dreamed of Xuanhua, she also thanked me for helping her repair the house and inviting the willow tree god to protect it." It seems that she is not alone there. ”

Yu Shiji and others all said yes again and again, saying that the sincerity of the saint touched the heavens and the earth, and Yuan Daochang really lived up to his reputation. Xiao Buyi secretly thought, this is mostly something to think about and dream at night. Yang Guang did something for Chen Xuanhua, and he was finally at ease, but a man had been in love with a woman so far, but he didn't know how upside down that woman was.

Yang Guang was silent, and everyone was silent, I don't know how long it took before Yang Guang said: "Buyi, I recruited you this time, and I want you to do something again." ”

"Holy Lord, please command." Xiao Buyi said respectfully.

Yang Guang coughed lightly and glanced at Pei Yun, "Pei Aiqing, you can talk to Buyi." ”

Pei Yun took a step forward and said in a deep voice: "Xiao Shaoqing, after this inspection of Taiyuan, I actually want to go north. ”

Xiao Buyi was slightly stunned, "I'm afraid I'll go north again." ”

"And to the north." Pei Yun said slowly.

Xiao Buyi had no choice but to say: "Your Majesty is blunt, and you can't figure out the holy will, so please ask Pei Yushi to say it clearly." ”

Pei Yun smiled and said: "Xiao Shaoqing is calm, it seems that he has chosen the right person." ”

Yang Guangdao: "Pei Yushi, tell him the truth." ”

Pei Yun nodded and said slowly: "Since the death of Qimin Khan, Shibi Khan has been arrogant, and now he refuses to come to the court, which has made the saint very dissatisfied. The relationship between the Turks and the Great Sui is tense, the younger brother of the Shibi Khan, Qi Jishe, is loyal and honest, and the Holy Lord is ready to send an envoy to the Turks, Xuan Shibi Khan and Qi Jishe come to meet, and by the way, the princess of Sanssouci will marry Qi Jishe, which can ease the relationship between the Great Sui and the Turks, and secondly, it can appease the Turkic people, which can be described as the best of both worlds. ”

Xiao Buyi remembered what Lieutenant General Dong said at the beginning, and knew what Yang Guang said truthfully, but he already had water. Yang Guang is not faint, sometimes he is even more annihilated than a monkey, just by his quiet persecution against Li Min, it can be seen that he eradicates Li Valve in the Eastern Capital.

"It's the best of both worlds, but I don't know what I need to do?"

Pei Yun said in a deep voice: "Although Qi Jishe is loyal and honest, he is timid and afraid, and the saint wants to canonize him the title of the southern khan, but he is afraid that he will not accept it." The meaning of the saint is that when you borrow the grassland, you will visit Xia Qi Jishe on the way, Shaoqing, you are smart and good at talking, and you will lobby with a lot of interests, so that he must accept this title. When you succeed in persuasion, you should make a great contribution to the Great Sui. ”

Xiao Buyi said in his heart, Lao Tzu has already seen those who are forced to gamble, and it is the first time that he has seen those who are forced to accept canonization.

"Is it to persuade him to accept the title?" Xiao Buyi asked.

Pei Yun nodded, "That's right, Shaoqing has also been to the Turks, has had contacts with Kedun, and has won the support of herdsmen in the grassland, so he is really the best choice for this trip." ”

"When can I go?" Xiao Buyi asked.

"Shaoqing went from Jiangdu to Taiyuan, and it was very hard to travel all the way." Pei Yun said softly: "If Shaoqing wants to rest for a few days, it's okay." ”

Xiao Buyi saw that everyone was looking at him, like looking at a donkey pulling a mill, full of expectations, and resolutely said: "National affairs, the husband is responsible, Buyi, as a servant and a young secretary, has the love of the saint, but he can't do his best, if the saint allows, Weichen implores him to start tomorrow." ”

Yang Guanglong said with great joy: "Xiao Qing's family is really loyal, since this is the case, I will allow you to start tomorrow." ”

Everyone seemed to be relieved, looking at Xiao Buyi like a pig and sheep sent to slaughter, but Xiao Buyi asked a little worriedly, "Will I go alone?" ”

This life is not a good life, it obviously has the surname of dividing the Turks, if Shibi Khan knew, the end can be imagined. It doesn't matter what kind of horse god you are, the cow god, the cow ghost and the snake god, Shibi Khan let you come back alive because the ancestors burned high incense.

"Of course you're not alone." Pei Yun said with a smile: "This trip Shaoqing Mingli is a marriage envoy, and it can be regarded as an outpost, announcing that he will marry Princess Sanssouci to Ji She. Secretly, he talked to Qi Jishe about the canonization, and when he agreed, Shaoqing should be able to return quickly, and then the saint would go out on patrol and succeed in one fell swoop. But since it is a marriage envoy, of course, it is reasonable to bring a few hundred people. What kind of elite soldiers and strong generals these hundreds of young ministers want to choose, the court should be satisfied. ”

Yu Shiji suddenly said on the side: "I heard that Shaoqing and Li Jing have a good relationship, Li Jing is good at leading troops, and now as a Mayi Juncheng, if Shaoqing likes it, he can go to Turkia with Li Jing, so as to ensure that nothing goes wrong." ”

Yang Guang nodded, "Yu Shilang is reasonable, since this is the case, let Xiao Buyi be the marriage envoy, Li Jing be the deputy envoy, and the duty to protect Xiao Buyi to go to see Yi Jishe, what do the Qing family think?" ”

Pei Yun and the three of them all bowed down and said, "Holy and sage." ”

Yu Wenshu remained silent, and then he came over and patted Xiao Buyi's shoulder, laughed and said: "Shaoqing is doing everything now, and this time it will definitely be successful, the old man will wish you success in advance." ”

Xiao Buyi said with a smile: "Thank you Ji Yan." ”

**When Xiao Buyi didn't leave Jinyang Palace, a shout suddenly came from behind him, "Xiao Shaoqing, please stay!" ”

The voice was delicate, but with deep tiredness, Xiao Buyi was stunned, and only after a while did he turn his senses, bow down and salute: "Weichen has seen Princess Sanssouci. ”

Princess Sanssouci frowned, where is there any carefree look, I haven't seen her for a few months, except for a few reductions, she hasn't changed much.

"Xiao Shaoqing, I heard that you just came from Jiangdu?" Carefree walked over slowly, looked up at Xiao Buyi's eyes, and did not blink for a moment.

Xiao Buyi turned his head and said in a deep voice: "What the princess said is right. ”

"Is Jiangdu fun?" Princess Sanssouci asked softly.

Xiao Buyi smiled bitterly: "Weichen just went to Jiangdu on business, and he didn't do anything. If the princess is fine, Weichen will retire first......"

"I, I've got something." Princess Sanssouci said urgently.

Xiao Buyi stopped, "I don't know what the princess commanded?" ”

"I heard that Jiangdu is very fun, I wonder if Shaoqing is interested in taking me to Jiangdu to play?" Princess Sanssouci pleaded.

Xiao Buyi shook his head and said: "Princess, it's very unfortunate that Emperor Weichen is in charge, and he has no time to accompany the princess to the south." ”

"What imperial order?" Princess Sanssouci's expression gradually cooled.

"It's inconvenient for Weichen to say." Xiao Buyi had a big headache. From the bottom of his heart, he had some sympathy for Princess Sanssouci, but there was really nothing he could do about it.

"You're going to be a marriage giver, aren't you?" Princess Sanssouci asked coldly.

Xiao Buyi was silent, and tears suddenly burst out of the corners of Princess Sanssouc's eyes, "Why you?" You don't know how cruel this is to me? ”

"Even if the marriage giver is not a minister, there are others." Xiao Buyi said: "Weichen is just acting according to orders, if the princess doesn't like it, she can let the saint change people." ”

"Xiao Buyi, I just want to ask you, have you really never liked me?" Princess Sanssouci stepped forward and looked up at Xiao Buyi's burning eyes.

Xiao Buyi didn't think about it, and shook his head categorically: "Never." ”

Princess Sanssouci took a few steps back, her face full of anger, and said angrily, "You are lying! I know you're lying. ”

Xiao Buyi said in a deep voice: "Princess, Weichen still has other things, so I will leave first." He turned around and left, not stopping, but Princess Sanssouci shouted behind him: "Xiao Buyi, you remember, I will hate you for the rest of my life!" ”

**When Xiao Buyi stepped into Mayi City again, it was like a world away.

The first time he entered Mayi City, he looked like he was just a deflated man, and he could only look up to the characters like Taishou, but when he came to Mayi City this time, it was Wang Rengong's turn to look up to him.

When Wang Rengong first saw Xiao Buyi, although he knew that this kid was definitely not a thing in the pool, he never thought that in less than a year, this kid would climb even higher than himself. He has great achievements, he was born and died, but he sat in the position of the Taishou, Xiao Buyi, this kid didn't see him do anything, but he went to a high position leisurely. Thinking of this, Wang Rengong was a little uncomfortable, and it could be seen that Xiao Buyi was still as respectful to himself as ever, and his heart was somewhat more comfortable.

When Xiao Buyi didn't arrive in Mayi, the post station spread early that when Xiao Buyi had not yet stepped into Mayi, Wang Rengong had already taken people to wait outside the city.

Xiao Buyi was ordered to marry, this is a false title, but it is an important matter, the magistrate has never dared to slack off, Wang Rengong took Xiao Buyi into Mayi City, accompanied by Liu Wuzhou and Li Jing, for a time the people in the city pointed and pointed, and the scenery was infinite.

"I have prepared thin wine for Shaoqing, and I hope Shaoqing will appreciate his face." When Wang Rengong saw that Xiao Buyi was beautiful and entered the city, he still let him have a horse's head, which was very comfortable.

Xiao Buyi shook his head, thought about it, and said apologetically: "Thank you Lord Wang for your kindness, it's just that I have something important to do, and it's not good to drink." ”

"It's always okay not to drink, it's always okay to eat." Wang Rengong said with a smile.

Xiao Buyi nodded in agreement, and then lowered his voice in an instant: "Lord Wang, the Holy Lord has asked Li Juncheng to act as the deputy envoy for marriage, and there is no delay, I will go to Lord Wang tonight to get drunk and rest, but at this moment, I have something to discuss with Li Juncheng." ”

Wang Rengong heard him move Yang Guang out, his face was a little strange, but when he heard what he said, he couldn't help but look up to the sky and snorted, and was very happy, "Since that's the case, I'll wait for Shaoqing's big ride that night." ”

He left with Liu Wuzhou, but Li Jing looked at Xiao Buyi and said, "Third brother, I didn't expect us to see each other soon." ”

Xiao Buyi smiled and said, "Second brother, it's not fast, are you still going to see you in a few years?" But it wasn't my idea to ask you to be my deputy envoy this time, so don't blame me. ”

Li Jing smiled and shook his head, "I also want to go to the Turks, where do you come from?" ”

Xiao Buyi was a little puzzled: "Why does the second brother want to go to Turkic? ”

Li Jing looked around and said with a smile: "I have come to Mayi for some time, only to see the Turks flying and domineering, repeatedly disturbing the people, if there is a chance, you and I work hand in hand, how about pacifying the Turks?" ”

Xiao Buyi laughed and said: "The second brother has such ambitions, how dare the younger brother not follow." When he said this, he lowered his voice and said, "It turns out that the second brother wants to take this opportunity to go to the Turks to check the terrain first?" ”

Li Jing smiled and nodded silently, and the two of them rode their horses and whips, galloping on the ancient road, full of spirit and pride for a while! .
