Chapter 9 Look at the flowers
When the drums on the towers of Chang'an City sounded in turn, it was already the time of sunset, if it was a sunny day, but today there was no sun. Danfengwai soon became lively, the officials on duty came out from the outer court, and there were many domestic slaves and horsemen outside the palace, and the number of people suddenly increased.
Xue Chongxun rarely saw the situation of being on duty in the palace, because he had always "left early", and at most he went to the court to see the emperor and did not work every day. Only recently the household department set up a money bank, which was single-handedly promoted by him, so he often went to Shangshu Province to walk around.
A group of carriages and horses walked south along Danfeng Street, and the people on the left and right were all familiar faces, and Pang Er, auspicious Fang Yu Zhong and other domestic slaves were seen almost every day; There are also Li Kuiyong and other Flying Tiger Regiment guards, and some soldiers Xue Chongxun can't be called famous because he doesn't talk to them on weekdays, but he is very familiar.
Sitting in the carriage is also Sanniang, her job is to protect the safety of Xue Chongxun in close quarters, although Xue Chongxun is also a martial artist, but he is not very good at yīn assassination and other methods, and it is safer to have her by his side. Sanniang is also a stuffy gourd, it is rare to hear her say a word, like this, when she is on the road, Xue Chongxun's ears are mostly filled with Jixiang's nonsense about the fun of the horseman Pang Er.
Unexpectedly, Sanniang said hello today, and she said lightly: "Lang Jun looks a little tired." ”
"Really?" Xue Chongxun said casually.
Then I heard Sanniang's "um", and there was no follow-up. Xue Chongxun was not surprised, she was such a tall person, it was an accident that she could hold back a sentence that sounded like she cared about others.
Exhaustion? After being reminded by Sanniang, Xue Chongxun really felt a little lacking. I didn't do anything all day in the court.,It's mainly a matter of psychological pressure.。
Now that this stall is spreading, Xue Chongxun feels that it is difficult to grasp and control. He is self-aware in his heart, he is not good at Yu Daluo, and he admires the ability to find out the context of the world by sitting at home like Zhuge Liang in the book, but unfortunately he is obviously not so good. can survive to the current power, most of them are still better cards in their hands, with the resources created by Princess Taiping, and they are from a valve background; and overturned Li Longji at a critical point.
He had the advantage of foresight in dealing with Li Longji, but now this situation does not have the advantage of being the same as before...... Empress Dowager Gao hangs the curtain to listen to the government in order to control power, what kind of consequences will this matter have, and will it stimulate contradictions? Xue Chongxun himself couldn't be sure. The world is too big, and there are only so many things that a person can hold in his hands, who knows what will happen?
What he can do is to make the shape develop as much as possible in the direction that is conducive to his own power, because the situation he faces is only reasonable and righteous when he has the final say, and once others have the final say, he is waiting for death. Seeing the world through a dark eye, that's the truth.
Xue Chongxun believes that the step of "money law" is the right one, which is not only conducive to accumulating wealth, but also a kind of layout.
A few years ago, Zhang Shuo proposed the official health law, which made the army more professional, and freed more strong men from military service, which was conducive to economic development. The success of the reform of the "money law" is undoubtedly a stimulant to the ancient economy, and it is foreseeable that the market will flourish in the near future. Because once the paper money is credited, it is possible to issue five paper notes if you have a hard currency reserve within a safe range, and the total amount of money and the circulation will increase, and the result will not be obvious.
As long as the economy of the Tang Dynasty can continue to prosper, it will be difficult to have a large-scale movement of subjects, and it is very practical that how many people will rebel with their heads when there is no food to eat?
In the past few months, Xue Chongxun has read "The Biography of Wang Mang" from time to time, and has seen the matter of Wang Mang's usurpation of power. It's also quite difficult for him, because what he looks at is traditional without punctuation. Before that, he really didn't understand what Wang Mang's story was about, but he just knew that there was such a person. At the end of the Western Han Dynasty, if there were no economic problems and a large number of rogues, it is difficult to say whether Emperor Guangwu would have the capital to turn over.
So Xue Chongxun came to the conclusion that letting the people of the world live in an environment of economic prosperity can better avoid the difficulties faced by Wang Mang.
Xue Chongxun pondered the context of the money law in his mind for a while, and thought of the central power structure, he was indeed a little worried that Empress Dowager Gao's curtain listening to the government would stimulate some contradictions, and once the people in power were demonized, the regime would be illegal; It is not a good way to control public opinion and implement a high-pressure policy, and the ancients have already said that it is better to prevent the people than to prevent Sichuan...... If it develops into a government decree, it has to be finished if it is not passed, and it is useless to occupy the Daming Palace in Chang'an.
So after Xue Chongxun returned to Anyifang, he first went to the pro-kingdom and told Wang Changling the news that the Empress Dowager Gao was about to listen to the government, and asked him to convene a meeting of his henchmen tomorrow and write out his opinions and strategies in the near future.
Isn't that what the staff group is supposed to do? However, Xue Chongxun still felt that Li Ghost Shou's views on ancient politics were more clever, but it was a pity that it was difficult to receive this person.
…… After a while, he walked into the inner house, and looked at the scenery of green trees and new branches and flowers in the garden, and his mood was much more relaxed. At this moment, he suddenly remembered that in the morning, Sun said that he wanted him to listen to the flowers on the side of the rainy lake, and he agreed to adjust his mood.
It's getting dark, and there's no sunshine, so it's not the best time to enjoy the flowers, but it's just a good time.
Walking a stone road to the north, it is Tingyu Lake, and the study courtyard is on the shore of Tingyu Lake. When Xue Chongxun walked to the lakeside, he looked at the sparkling lake, and remembered that the name was taken by Jincheng, and when he turned his head to look, the branches of the peach forest were already full of flower buds. It won't be long before the peach blossoms will be full of fragrance, and he seems to see a fairy NV smiling like a flower there, and the skirt that turns is extremely beautiful. I really miss Jincheng, I went to Chengxiang Hall to see the Empress Dowager Gao during the day today, but I didn't see her in the same palace. He couldn't help but sigh.
As soon as I walked to the entrance of the courtyard of the study, I saw that Sun was already waiting there. Seeing the uncontrollable surprise on Xue Chongxun's face, Sun tried to suppress his feelings and said: "I saw that Xue Lang hadn't come back for a long time, so I asked the kitchen to prepare the dishes outside the study, and the only way to drink and enjoy the flowers was to go with dinner." ”
Xue Chongxun smiled: "That's fine, there is Master Lao." The two walked into the courtyard together, walking along the road under the eaves to the inside, Xue Chongxun asked again, "What about Yan'er?" ”
Sun said in a low voice: "I asked her to go to Concubine Cheng's side." ”
It turned out that he had been prepared, Xue Chongxun turned his head and glanced at Sun's blushing and becoming more and more delicate, although she still maintained a dignified posture with her neck straight, but the expectation and sweetness revealed in her expression were completely different from the usual old-fashioned and dignified, and it was easy for Xue Chongxun to notice it.
In a short period of time, Sun was in a good mood and asked for warmth, and his soft words were like a warm current, warming Xue Chongxun's tired body and mind, and he only felt soft and warm for a while. Xue Chongxun's mood was better, and he said in his heart: If you want to talk about internal help, the Sun family is really good, much better than the iǎ girl, she can manage housework and comfort people, as if she is surrounded by mother's love.
At this time, the gray sky seemed to be less oppressive, and when I walked to the waterhole behind the study, I suddenly saw a few cherry trees full of white flowers, as if they were full of beautiful snowflakes, and the sky and the earth were bright, and the flowers were as vivid as the flowers.
The two had dinner under the beautiful scenery, and Sun also drank some wine. During this period, two maids from Sun's room were waiting on the side. Sun chatted about family affairs, Xue Chongxun didn't say much, and occasionally talked about it with a very interested look. Naturally, he would not tell the Sun family that the Empress Dowager listened to the government and other court affairs, if it was changed to Jincheng, maybe Xue Chongxun would talk about it.
Seeing that Sun's sweet smile often hung on her face, she knew that her interest was very high, maybe she had been thinking about Xue Chongxun all day long...... I don't know what this will be glued into in modern times, but at this moment, the Sun family at the banquet did not say a word ambiguously. Xue Chongxun gradually got used to this kind of implicit love.
After dinner, the maids cleaned up the table, and Sun said: "Xue Lang is quite good at composing poems, why don't you write a poem?" ”
"Poetry?" Xue Chongxun's heart suddenly felt sullen.
Sun took the opportunity to play the maid beside him: "You go out first and let Xue Lang be quiet for a while." ”
"Yes." iǎcui and the others bent their legs and avoided it.
Seeing this, Xue Chongxun suddenly said: It turns out that she meant this, so I don't have to think hard about which one to remember. He couldn't help but smile and said, "Do you want me to compose poems?" ”
Sun got up and slowly pulled up the wooden lattice and said a little nervously: "If you don't stop in a while, we will ......"
Xue Chongxun looked at her undulating plump breasts, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, but forced his composure on his mouth: "It's almost dark, and it's nothing if there are trees blocking it behind, but this is bolted from the inside, what if someone suddenly breaks in?" ”
"Probably not, right?" Sun said softly, "Besides, those two girls have been with me for a long time, and even if they knew, they didn't dare to say it." ”
Xue Chongxun nodded: "It's impossible to hide this kind of thing from everyone for a long time, even if you don't bump into it, it will make the people around you suspicious, just take care of them." ”
Sun lowered his head and walked over slowly, and said in a trembling voice, "What are you still standing for?" ”
Xue Chongxun hugged her slender waist after hearing this, and took it into his arms, hearing a soft snort, her soft breasts leaned over, and a trace of the fragrance of the good NV person came to her nose.
"Didn't you say it was okay yesterday, just that once?" Xue Chongxun whispered in her ear.
Sun's ears turned red and he couldn't answer. Xue Chongxun held her face and asked her to raise her head, but she couldn't look at each other with affection, and looked away, but the blushing face on her face was different.
When Xue Chongxun slowly approached the rouge-coated red lips of her heart, she closed her eyes, as if this was the instinctive reaction of an NV person. A
