Pu Yangxu held her shoulder slightly, "Let's not waste time on those useless things, the spring flowers are beautiful in an instant, the autumn moon is perfect for a while, and all the best things in the world are always too short......"

"Your Highness, you are talking about this in a serious manner," Shen Tingnian sighed, "I can't bear to listen to it anymore." ”

Because it's really hard to hold back your laughter.

Unconsciously made angry by him again, Shen Tingnian understood that this man had already learned to be obedient and knew how to dissipate her anger, he had suffered a loss, and he would not let each other fall into the situation of the outbreak of anger and quarrel last time.

"I haven't finished talking yet, youth is easy to grow old, and Shaohua is easy to pass away, because it is short and hasty, so that you should love your heart and love hard, so that you can not leave regrets when you are old."

"I'm only twenty years old and I'm not old."

"Ahem, it's my old ......"

No matter how thick the skin is, I can't hold back this reason.

Pu Yangxu coughed uncomfortably.

"Are you going to laugh at me......" Shen Tingnian, who couldn't hold back any longer, fell on his arm with laughter, and couldn't help but stretch out a hand to pinch him, "Why are you so-hate it!" ”

Pu Yangxu made a breath sound from his nostrils, and his eyes were also full of smiles, only focused on her smile, "These nasty words are all ...... that I asked Chen Luo to collect and copy from them."

Before she finished speaking, Shen Tingnian laughed louder, thinking of Chen Luo, who is not smiling and serious on weekdays, copying these love words, the more she really wanted to laugh, the more she couldn't stop laughing.

Pu Yangxu, who finally coaxed people, breathed a sigh of relief.

On Chinese New Year's Eve, being happy is more important than anything else.

After the first court meeting after the year, another small meeting was held in the imperial study. Because of last year's alliance with Xirong to resist the north, the battle in the north was able to achieve a one-sided victory, but at the beginning of this year, news of civil strife in Xirong came. Beidi has always refused to sue for peace, and also took out most of the troops to threaten the northwest border, while the battle line between the Great Zhou and Beidi was extended, Xirong had withdrawn his troops, and also sent a request for help to the Great Zhou, hoping that the imperial court could send troops to help them quell the civil strife.

Pu Yangxu sat in front of the imperial case, pushed the fold in his hand forward, and said with a smile: "This palace still thinks that they can endure for a long time, and it is only three months, you have all seen it." ”

There were five people sitting opposite him, in addition to Zhao Xiang, the newly promoted to the second mansion, and the veteran of the two dynasties, Qi Lao, the governor of the political affairs, that is, the queen's uncle, the head of the original three princes, and the last member was Liu Zhixiang, the secretary of the military department.

Zhao Xiang was promoted a year later, and the privy envoy was also the same as the prime minister, and he was the prime minister among the hundred officials, and he was about to make the last clear decree, but he didn't speak, and the rest didn't squeak.

Pu Yangxu's gaze slipped around and fell on Bachelor Fang's head, who said with a little trepidation: "Your Highness, Weichen hasn't seen it yet." ”

This person was able to come in, all of them were pulled by Pu Yangxu, he impeached King An at a critical moment, and made a lot of contributions to the crown prince's uprooting of King An's power in the dynasty.

"Since you haven't seen it, who handed it over? This palace thinks that you have negotiated it before putting it on the table. Pu Yangxu's face was unhappy, Bachelor Fang, as the right secretary, didn't see this fold, that is, someone deliberately didn't show it to him, it seems that he was excluded.

"Back to Your Highness, it's a micro-minister." Qi Lao knew his fate, his hair was half white, his spirit was strong, he was a humerus veteran, his waist was naturally straight, and he was full of confidence.

Pu Yangxu didn't speak, the imperial study was quiet for a while, and Qi Lao spoke again, "If you don't hesitate, you will stand, and if you don't plan, you will be wasted." Your Royal Highness, whether you send troops or not, you should prepare in advance, and Weichen thought that he should gather all the soldiers in the northwest and go to the western border. ”

Hearing this, Pu Yangxu tapped his fingertips on the desktop and muttered: "Old Qi's words, are you seconding it?" ”

"The minister seconded the proposal." Liu Zhixiang, the secretary of the Ministry of War, nodded, thinking that he had also seen the excerpts and made a decision in his heart.

But he was the only one who seconded the proposal, and Master Fang looked at the prince and didn't dare to speak easily, while the prince seemed to be dozing off, his eyes half-closed, and he didn't look at it at all.

He has always been indifferent, saying that he is the oldest minister among the hundred officials, but he seems to be famous, but once this person speaks, no one dares not to listen.

The respected pro-king of the hundred officials has the sword of Shang Fang given by the emperor Taizu of the Great Zhou, and there is a jade butterfly specially given by the emperor to forgive the crime, this person's status in the court is absolutely unshakeable......

"What about Zhao Zhiyuan, do you also think that troops should be sent to the west?"

Zhao Xiang coughed lightly, and his voice was slightly hoarse: "The minister has no different intentions. Then, "Then there was a light cough, his cheeks were red, his eyes were slightly tired, and he looked like he was sick, "It is not appropriate to send troops without the name of sending troops." ”

"Helping allies fight against thieves and doing the way of heaven is not enough?" Qi Lao retorted, and even felt strange, several of them had come to discuss it before, but why did they change their hexagrams.

Zhao Xiang didn't answer, and there was only the sound of him coughing lightly from time to time in the imperial study.

"Are you sick?" Pu Yangxu was suddenly surprised, "This palace has never seen you sick. ”

It is said that those who are often sick are fine, and those who are less sick need to lie down.

"The minister is trying to take leave with His Highness and recuperate for a while."

Hearing this, several people were surprised, and even the King of Qinxu, who closed his eyes and recuperated, opened his eyes to look at him, "Is Zhao Zhiyuan finally sick?" ”

Zhao Xiangzhi smiled bitterly, this person was expecting him to fall ill.

Pu Yangxu frowned, and suddenly felt unhappy, this person was going to fight against him.

He arranged everything in the capital properly, and even took a lot of effort to persuade the king of Qinshu to preside over the government after he left Beijing.

And Zhao Xiangming knew about his itinerary, and now he threatened him with sick leave......

"Zhao Zhiyuan's health is important, this palace will allow you a few days off, as for the matter of sending troops," Pu Yangxu turned his eyes to look at Qi Lao, and his voice was more than a little lower, "Qi Lao also went on the expedition with the first emperor, you should know that the battle is no trivial matter, if you want to send troops, you should also ask the soldiers of the western border guard if they are willing to spill their blood for a sentence to help the allies calm the civil strife!" ”

After finishing speaking, he threw the fold on the table back to the imperial case, accompanied by Pu Yangxu's reprimanded and angry shouts echoing in the imperial study.

"Raise troops to the west, go deep into the hinterland of the enemy country, you want to take advantage of the chaos to invade other people's cities, have you ever thought about it, will this be a good show to invite the king into the urn and turn against him?"

Where there are long-term allies, there are only immediate interests, and when the time comes, Xirong and Beidi will jointly attack, and whoever is passive will be beaten.

Pu Yangxu is not a person who will give people a chance to slap in the face.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who has been idle for most of the month, has entered a busy period again, but no matter how much state affairs there are, there will be many courtiers to help, and no one can help if there is a fire in the backyard.

Emperor Kang'an's temper became worse the more he was injured, and his health was worse, and now he was even very difficult to pamper his concubines, and the queen moved out of Kunning Palace and went to Qixiang Palace, which had been vacant for many years, and Qianqing Palace was so far away from most of the palace.

In this way, it also saves half a month of quarrel and two months of trouble.

But the discord between the emperor and the queen will also go down in history because of it.

As the queen moved into the Qixiang Palace, it was closer to the East Palace, around a pavilion, across two arch bridges, and walked along the scenic garden near the lake.

The son is about to go away, how can a mother not worry about worrying. As soon as the queen came to the Qianqiu Palace, Shen Tingnian had to dress neatly and dignified, and he had to stand respectfully and listen to her various instructions to Pu Yangxu.

The mother and son talked and laughed, and she made decorations like a vase.

came too many times, Shen Tingnian couldn't even sleep well in the morning, and she couldn't wait for Pu Yangxu to leave the palace, so she moved back to Changxinyuan.

With her current status as the crown prince's concubine, it is unruly to live in Changxin Garden, what does it look like for the master of the Eight Classics to live in a small garden, but if she wants to live, Pu Yangxu can't persuade her back. I am afraid that the queen's side will deepen the disagreement with Shen Tingnian, and it will be difficult to move her to the palace, so I can only urge the Lantang Palace, which is already under construction, to speed up the construction period.

In this way, although there are some unpleasant places, but on the whole it is peaceful, and it is in this peaceful atmosphere that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince set off for the eastern tour in mid-January of the third year of Shi'an.

There were no female dependents on this trip, only a few officials were selected, and what was particularly surprising to the hundred officials was that Zhao Xiang, the privy envoy, also left Beijing with the prince.

February of the third year of Shi'an.

At the gate of Yancheng City, there were a large number of people kneeling neatly on both sides of the road, and then there were scattered people, and the guards surrounded the city in a circle and circle, and they all knelt down and kowtowed.

"Kneel, kowtow again, get up!"

Xu Shi's elongated voice spread from near and far, and the man standing tall in front of him, with his crown and his back hand, was in a posture of overlooking, and when Xu Shi shouted three times, and everyone finished the three bows, he slowly raised his hand and called out. Then turn around and sit back in the car, eight handsome horses marched together, the majesty of the prince's patrol, not to be looked at directly, everyone looked down and sent his carriage into the city, the direction of the natural is to build the royal palace of Yancheng.

The streets were crowded with people on both sides, vying to move forward, wanting to see the face of His Royal Highness the Prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty, but they couldn't see it clearly from a distance, because there was a curtain blocking it, but they saw its outline, but when the ceremony came, they had to kneel and salute, bury their heads and kowtow, and naturally they couldn't peep.

A section of the road is very slow, patrol the city, naturally have to walk around the avenue in the city, all you see is neat and prosperous that can be seen, the street is clean, the shop façade is decorated with new and bright, the people on the roadside, are neatly dressed, mostly bright new clothes, a circle down, only this salt is better than the capital, even a beggar called Huazi can not be seen.

North Street, which is far away from this noise, has many fewer people, and there are many alleys here, and there are often no straight roads, and you can't walk all over the place.

When Lin Mo entered the Yuelai Building, a scholar in a green shirt also hurriedly ran in, and the two met in the hall, one continued to move forward, and the other turned left and went upstairs.

After a cup of tea, the scholar in the green shirt left the Fengyue Building that he frequented drunk.

Yuelailou's Yaju today has been empty for a day without hospitality, after sending away the scholars, at this moment the room is sitting in the room is no one else is Lin Mo, and standing on the side is a middle-aged woman, dressed extremely fancy, the charm still exists, at this moment respectfully bowed her head, from time to time glanced at the people sitting upright.

Lin Mo finally glanced at her, and the latter immediately understood: "Childe, a force has appeared this month, sweeping through various places such as wine shops, flower shops, gambling houses, and technical institutes, and they seem to be looking for you." How did you come at this time-"
