Chapter 31: The Red Shirt

When he stopped, it happened to be the third watch, and Xue Chongxun said casually: "I haven't heard the voice of the second watch, so this is the third watch." Then he didn't hear Yao Wan speak, he turned his head to look at her, only to see her lying softly beside her, her shoulders still trembling slightly, her hair was also wet and messy on her forehead. Although it was still early summer, the two of them had been entangled for a long time, but it was relatively hot, and Xue Chongxun saw the hair stuck to her forehead, and he also realized that he was sweating.

At this time, I saw Yao Wan gently pulling the quilt to cover herself, and Xue Chongxun couldn't help but joke: "I was seen by me just now, and I screamed so loudly, why is it still covering the weather when it's very hot?" ”

"Don't talk about it......" Yao Wan said with the sound of mosquitoes flapping her wings, her face was embarrassed again, and she pulled the quilt and even covered her face.

Seeing this, Xue Chongxun moved his body, stretched his right arm from under her neck socket and hugged her shaved shoulder, letting her head rest on his shoulder; The left hand couldn't help but reach over and touch her chest and abdomen. The place is still a little moist in the hand, because the sweat just now has not dried, but it feels smoother to the touch. He said, "Why don't you ask someone to fetch water and let's take a bath." ”

Stroking may make Yao Wan more useful, she also gently put her hand on Xue Chongxun's waist, a subtle movement can properly express her pandering, she is the kind of person who is very subtle and appropriate. She said, "I'll rest for a while and I'll go fetch water." ”

Xue Chongxun said disapprerovingly: "Just call someone to come." Yao Wan said: "Forget it, I'm not a person with status, I'm also waiting for people, now because of 'seducing the emperor', I want people to serve, maybe someone is saying something ugly behind my back, there are more people in this place than the Jin Palace, I don't want to cause some idleness...... Lang Jun will rest for a while, I can't move now. ”

"What, it's so soft that you don't have any strength?" Xue Chongxun said with a smile. Yao Wan said softly: "It hurts." ”

Seeing her like this, Xue Chongxun also thought about giving her an identity like a concubine and a royal wife, men always have such a mentality, which is also the reason why the pillow wind is more influential. But he thought about it for a while, and he didn't want to mention it for the time being, because he had three close servants brought from the old mansion by his side, and they had also slept with him, and if he wanted to be entitled, he should be treated equally, and if he treated Yao Wan alone, he would definitely be regarded as unjust. And now his power is too great, a word may cause a chain reaction, if Yao Wan rises to the list of favorite concubines, should those exiled men of the Yao family be pardoned or even obtain official positions in the Jin Dynasty? Xue Chongxun still can't trust those people, especially now that he feels that the regime has not yet been completely stable.

He thought about it, and fell asleep at some point. When I woke up, I found that it was bright outside the window, and it was already bright, and when I looked back, I saw that Yao Wan was not around, and she had already gotten up.

After a while, seeing her fetch water and come in, Xue Chongxun began to bathe, change clothes, wash and other things. He noticed that Yao Wan had changed into a red dress, and she spoke less than usual, and her face was still a little red and she didn't look at him like usual, her gaze was always dodging, and she looked like the morning after the newlywed cave room. It's just that there is no festive red paper on the window, and everything around is the same, and she just changed into a red shirt to commemorate this day? Only the remains of last night's red candle have not yet had time to be cleaned up.

After breakfast, the palace maids came to serve him with yellow robes. Xue Chongxun had an indescribable intersection of several feelings in his heart, probably feeling a little bad and a little lazy. He said, "I don't want to go today." ”

"How?" Yao Wan looked up at him in slight surprise, this was the first time she had met Xue Chongxun's eyes this morning.

Xue Chongxun said: "Go and walk around the Taiye Pool, you accompany me." ”

Yao Wan lowered her head for a moment and said with a smile: "Really, I should have rested after waiting for you in the morning." Today is Dong Niang on duty, you let her accompany you. ”

Xue Chongxun said: "I said to let you go with me, Jinkou Yuyan you don't know." Now you go and pass the word first, let the ministers outside the Zichen Hall go back to the yamen, and cancel the performance today. The local recitals still let the government hall draw up a method, and the cabinet will approve it as appropriate...... I don't wear this, but I change into a cotton dress. ”

A smile appeared in Yao Wan's eyes, but she pretended to salute seriously: "The slave family obeys the order." ”

The ministers had to get up earlier than the emperor every day, and then go into the palace to wait for the summons, because there was no way for the emperor to wait. There are two old pine trees in the square outside the Zichen Palace, and the people who can generally enter the inner pilgrimage are accustomed to gather under the two trees to talk and wait, so these two trees that were originally extremely ordinary are very famous in the officialdom. If there are people who have been delegated from Chang'an to the local government to do things, and at the banquet they look casual and say, "One day, the old man and so-and-so are under the tree at the door of the inner court", it is not modest, but it is extremely show-off under the pretending to be relaxed, which means that Lao Tzu is a person who enters and exits the inner court, not an ordinary cow.

Today, they did not wait for the people who came to call them into the temple, but the eunuchs who came over informed them to cancel the court meeting. Everyone didn't have any abnormal reactions, and after hearing this, they were ready to disperse and go back to their respective yamen, because Xue Chongxun was still relatively diligent, and it was okay if he didn't come for a day occasionally. However, Du Xian was disappointed, and saw that the eunuch who came to deliver the decree was Yang Siqiao, and the person he knew stopped Yang Siqiao and said: "I am writing an excerpt, I originally wanted to do it in person this morning, but I can't see Your Majesty, Yang Gonggong helped to make up the time and hand it over." ”

"It's a trivial matter. After a while, when the miscellaneous family returned, it happened to be handed to the emperor. Yang Siqiao took it over happily, the relationship between the two of them was not bad, probably because they were both people who had led soldiers, and they had a sense of sympathy. Du Xian also did not look down on Yang Siqiao as a eunuch, and often collected information on some of Yang Simiao's battles in the southwest to analyze the gains and losses. When Yang Siqiao fought Nanzhao, he used gunpowder to blow up the cottage of the barbarian soldiers, and Du Xian learned from his experience after summing up, and also used this method in the battle of attacking Heisha City.

At this time, someone quickly became curious and asked, "What's the urgency of Mr. Du?" ”

Du Xian pondered for a moment, feeling that it was inconvenient to hide from his colleagues, so he said honestly: "In view of the frequent disturbance of the Khitan rebellion, I have carefully thought about it and made a plan to share the worries of His Majesty. I thought that it was the best policy for the official army to take the initiative to seize Yingzhou, of course, this is just my family's words, maybe in the next two days, His Majesty will take it out for your reference during the court meeting. All the public affairs are state affairs, and whether this policy is correct or not is determined by itself. ”

Cheng Qianli, the secretary of the military department, said quietly: "If Your Majesty agrees, most of the Du scholars should be in charge and go out of Beijing." ”

Someone next to him also nodded in agreement: "The strategy was proposed by Master Du, and you are also a general, so it should be the same." ”G
