It is also a bright moon, and the moon in Mobei looks even more desolate, no longer cool but deeply cold, and the bleak moonlight looks dead silent on a piece of clear white snow.

Dressed in a thick beast jacket, the Khan stood in front of a pile of flames, looking up at the moon, like a lonely wolf in the north.

"Moda, how much has our Turkic lost in this year's heavy snow?" Suddenly the Khan spoke, his voice was deep and hoarse, as if he had lost a lot of strength.

Behind him was a middle-aged man wearing a thick leather jacket and sacrificial costume.

I saw that the middle-aged man was unstoppable, as if he didn't dare to say it.

"Say!" Jieli is also regarded as the lord of a country, and the coercion in his tone cannot be violated, only to see this priest called Moda suddenly knelt in the snow, "Khan, our Turks are now divided into two, but the same body is not the same, it was eaten away by the Great Sui, and finally the Great Sui was destroyed.

The sacrificial snot and tears flowed down in a long stream, and it looked heart-wrenching.

"Now in the severe cold of a winter that has not been encountered in a century, forty percent of our cattle and sheep have frozen to death, and this winter, everyone can only survive with difficulty" The voice of the sacrifice was also silent.

Jacky Khan closed his eyes in a dejected manner, and he let out a burst of hot air and roared at the same time, like a wolf howling at the moon on a lonely snowy mountain!

"I think how happy I am for the Turks from the Central Plains, Northern Zhou, and Northern Qi! The emperors of the Central Plains are all vassals to my ancestors, paying tribute every year, cattle and sheep everywhere! But after the appearance of the Great Sui, my Turks have been going downhill. Apo Khan united with the Datou Khan of the west to openly confront the Great Khan Shabalu. How stupid they are! None of them could see that this was Da Sui's divisive plan! Lucky. The Great Sui has produced a faint monarch, I thought this was a revival opportunity that the Turks had not encountered in a century! The soldiers are coming to the city of Chang'an, and give the new emperor a dismount! But a heavy snowfall that has not been seen in a hundred years has buried all the vitality of my Turks! ”

There was a deep exhaustion and a faint despair in the Khan's tone.

The priest had already wiped away his tears and hurriedly said: "Don't worry, Khan, if we can usher in a warm winter next year, my Turks will be able to recover quickly, and those Xue Yantuo and Hui Hui, who were previously ministers, will continue to be included in the name of my Turks, and they will recuperate for a few years at that time." I will be able to continue my Turkic majesty. ”

Looking at the moon hanging high in the sky, will next year's winter be even worse than this year? He fell into a long silence

"Your Majesty, why are you so excited today, is there any happy event?" I saw that Empress Changsun was only wearing a small belly pocket, and there was a pair of obscene pants that had been taken off next to the bed, and asked with silky eyes.

Li Er was still panting at this time, he was still quite tired from the expedition just now, and when the man got older, he really didn't have much energy in this regard, like when he was young, he could do it fourteen times a night. Xu Yang asked the eunuch to present it to him last time, and he will take a good look at it next time.

There was still a hint of charm in the air, and the palace maid outside Li Erming's door sent a pot of nectar water. After a few sips with Empress Changsun, he said: "Guanyin doesn't know, this winter, there has been a big snow disaster in the Turks, and the loss of cattle and sheep has exceeded three layers, and I now believe very much that they will have a particularly big snow disaster next year, and when the time comes, the destruction of the Turks will be just around the corner." Li Er also made a move as a chess general in the situation.

"Oh?" Empress Changsun was very curious: "Your Majesty, are you so sure that there will be a heavy snowstorm in Turkia next year?" ”

"Hey, hey." Li Er chuckled, in order to avoid suspicion, Guanyin generally doesn't ask too much about political affairs, which can be described as a model of women not doing politics.

"Guanyin, do you still remember what Xu Yang said about this year's locust plague in Guanzhong?"

"Of course I do." Empress Eldest Sun said with some concern: "Could it be that this has already happened?!" After that, he looked at Li Er with a worried face.

"Haha, that's true." Li Er said with a smile.

Empress Changsun was shocked, this kind of locust plague has always been a taboo disaster for the emperors of all dynasties, why did His Majesty still laugh out loud?

"Guanyin, don't worry, do you know where the tens of thousands of locusts have gone?" Li Er laughed as if he was deliberately hanging on to the appetite of the eldest grandson empress.

"The concubine can't guess." Empress Eldest Sun was a little impatient to know the answer: "Your Majesty, hurry up and tell the concubine." ”

"Haha." Li Er has been doing well recently, and he is also very happy, and he also knows that he is joking with the queen, and finally said: "These tens of thousands of locusts are now in the stomachs of nearly 200,000 chickens and ducks raised in Guannei." ”

"Huh?!" Empress Eldest Sun showed a puzzled expression.

Li Er immediately explained: "At the beginning, Xu Yang published in the newspaper that each household raising more than 20 chickens and ducks could receive consistent money from his Zhongnanshan fiefdom, which made every household in the entire Chang'an nearby counties raise chickens and ducks, and now it has raised almost 200,000 chickens, and the original Chang'an 100 counties always complain that the insects in the entire pass have been eaten up, and the chickens and ducks are dying of hunger, and by the beginning of spring this year, there have been a lot of locusts that have hatched a lot, which can greatly alleviate the food source of the chickens and ducks. A few days ago, I went to the farm to see that many people were driving their chickens and ducks to eat locust eggs in the fields, and the scene was extremely spectacular. ”

When Empress Changsun heard this, she was also very surprised, and begged Li Er to take her with her next time she went to the farm, and she also wanted to see what this scene of chickens and ducks eating locusts in groups was like.

Li Er lay on the golden silk sandalwood bed in a comfortable posture and said: "I will wait until the end of April to see the large-scale outbreak of locusts, and there should be a ceremony to worship the heavens at that time, and now we should call on the people to continue to raise chickens and ducks and peck at locusts." ”

Empress Changsun smiled: "When Xu Yang returns from that ghost valley, His Majesty will reward him well." ”

Li Er touched his chin and said, "This person is indeed my Datang genius, he should be rewarded, he is now overseas, and he will do his best for my Datang, so he will reward his wife first." Guanyin, you are in charge of the official position of the harem, and the matter of the reward is up to you. ”

Empress Eldest Sun smiled playfully and said, "The concubine obeys the order." ”

The next day, the herald maid in the palace today came to the news that the eldest grandson queen was visiting Xujiazhuang in Nanshan today, which can be described as a first-class event in Xujiazhuang, which has always been silent.

Liu Mengli got up early in the morning to dress up, and put on the official uniform of a talented person, since it was the head of the Sixth Palace, Empress Sun, who came, she had to be received according to the etiquette of a female official.

Rub the white lead into powder 'lead hua' on the little face, sprinkle some incense powder, the whole person is fragrant, and then start to spit lipstick and rouge, and dot a cinnabar between the eyebrows, even if you are dressed neatly, just wait for the mother to the world, the eldest grandson queen of the sixth palace of Fengzhang is here.

Steward Liu has been busy since early in the morning today, running up and down in Xujiazhuang all morning, the original cement paved roads and stone steps have to be cleaned again, the red lanterns are hung high, and the bat pictures of every household are also posted, and they are going to welcome the queen.

Sure enough, at noon, the queen's motorcade came in a mighty way, before and after, playing gongs and drums, and the royal momentum was unobstructed, which was three points more grand than Xu Yang's marriage.

Respectfully invite the queen's convoy into Zhuangzi, and the people along the road are kowtowing and bowing, and it is also worth boasting about being able to see the queen travel in her lifetime.

Today's eldest grandson is also dressed very formally, Zhang Feng gold crown, hanging silver earrings, a very delicate gold-inlaid jade pendant on his chest, wearing a Fengyi suit, dragging a long skirt, sitting and walking into the Xu family Zhuangzi.

Liu Mengli was still a little nervous at this time, after all, it was the first time to see Empress Changsun so officially, although she had met a few times before, but this was the first time to meet formally.

welcomed the eldest grandson into the specially prepared hall, and Liu Mengli respectfully offered tea to the eldest grandson.

Unexpectedly, Empress Changsun was actually a master of making tea, and asked to make tea by herself, of course Liu Mengli didn't dare to disobey, and ordered someone to bring Xu Yang's favorite set of tea-making tools at home.

When the eldest grandson queen saw Xu Yang's tea making tools at first glance, she was a little surprised, these tea sets are all finely crafted, it looks very charming, Xu Yang is a later generation, and a set of tea sets made by the craftsmen who printed the drawings are all made according to the gold ratio of the later generations, and they look much more high-end than those shoddy tea sets in the Tang Dynasty.

"This is also the tea set used by Xu Guigu to drink tea every day?" Empress Eldest Sun asked curiously.

"If you go back to the queen, your husband uses this set of tea sets to drink tea at home on weekdays, and this set of tea sets is also made by craftsmen he ordered." Liu Mengli was still a little nervous.

"Oh, what a treasure." Empress Eldest Sun gently stroked all angles and frosted teapots.

Seeing that the eldest grandson queen likes it, Liu Mengli hurriedly said: "If the queen likes it, Xujiazhuang will order the craftsman to create another set of exactly the same one for the queen to send to the palace." ”

Empress Eldest Sun suddenly smiled: "This palace came here this time to be rewarded, but I didn't expect to accept the favor first." ”

Liu Mengli hurriedly said in a panic: "It's just a gadget, it's not a favor, the queen laughed." ”

Empress Changsun chuckled again: "Then the palace is better to be respectful." After that, he nodded lightly again, and said: "Liu Mengli, a five-grade talent, listens to the order." ”

"Mengli listens."

"Nian Qi's husband and the Tang Dynasty have meritorious, and his wife Liu Mengli is specially named as the official of the third-grade Lingyuan."

Liu Mengli raised her head in disbelief, and said excitedly: "The talented Liu Mengli is in charge." (To be continued......) RO
