Text Chapter 104 The Emperor and the Minister

The next day, Shen Suhang and Xiao He discussed the details of the reception of the leader of the Chishui Clan.

The two went to the post house and inspected the furnishings in the hall in person. This arrangement, or the last time Nan Feng visited, the people of Feng are more particular about clothing, food, housing and transportation, especially at that time accompanied by the four princesses of Nan Feng Li Nanke, so the post house specially added a lot of exquisite furnishings.

For example, the bed in the outer room is replaced with an agarwood carved chaise longue, and the moon door shelf bed in the inner room is also finely carved in rosewood, and the bead curtains in the compartment are all made of coral glass beads. The ground was originally covered with a carpet of flower felt, because the spring warm catkins flew wildly, the palace people were lazy, and it was difficult to take care of the carpet before rolling it away.

The furnishings in this hall alone are enough to compare with the palace, luxurious and extravagant, showing that the great Yin is rich and rich.

But this time it was the nomadic kings of the north, and I heard that they had difficulty bathing several times a year.

Just imagining it, Xiao He couldn't help but shudder. The layout of this post house must be changed, and the more expensive and delicate things must be put away, lest Na Daduo still wonder if the Great Yin Tianzi took the opportunity to deliberately mock him.

Therefore, there are not many retinues brought by Daduo of Chishui in the former post newspaper, and there are no concubines or princesses and other female dependents. Xiao He suggested that the first thing was to take down the bead curtain, and secondly, the chaise longue was also removed, the flower bottle on the eight-treasure cabinet was replaced with a three-color horse, and the light-colored pink curtain in the house was replaced with some turmeric warm color.

Hearing Xiao He pointing to the room and changing places, Shen Suhang smiled and said, "Brother Xiao, your eyes are like a torch, and such details can't escape your eyes." It's really thoughtful, if the post house is set up to copy the furnishing style of his North Tent bag, it will also make him feel at home. ”

"It doesn't have to be, if it really makes him feel at home, it seems that we are deliberate. After all, he was defeated and surrendered, and we can just do enough etiquette, and if everything goes according to his wishes, how can the guest say whatever the lord wants? After Xiao He finished speaking, Wan Er smiled, and walked out of the door with his hands in his hands.

When Shen Suhang heard this, he laughed even more, and couldn't help but shake his head, "Brother Xiao's words have left you speechless, and you are reasonable." ”

He walked out of the post house with Xiao He, and entered the palace again, meeting with the waiter of the Ministry of Rites to discuss the palace banquet.

Compared with the previous time to welcome the envoys of Nanfeng, he was more than ten times more attentive.

The reason is also simple, the barbarians of Saibei, if they do not agree with each other, they will start a war, although today is a subordinate to the court, but looking back a hundred years, since the founding of the Great Yin, the battle with Saibei has been no less than dozens of times, and the soldiers killed in the war have been counted according to 10,000 words.

The Southern Expedition can be negotiated on the basis of reason, but the Northern Expedition, unless you die or die, if you suppress it with full force, how can Hu Barbarian surrender?

It is also because the Saibei Hu people are so bloody, advocating courage and martial arts, those who can do it will never be reasonable, and those who can be killed will never be left alive. Therefore, Shen Suhang said that Daduo was the lord of Rourenming, so Xiao He couldn't help but have some suspicions.

If he is really a good Confucian person, it is a good thing for Da Yin, and if he is just a hidden wolf with hidden ambitions, then he must be even more vigilant. In short, this person is not simple, and before he knows him, Xiao He has already made a judgment.

In this way, she was a little looking forward to seeing it for the real thing.

Although the preparations are very detailed, the scale is much smaller after all, and there is no need to be extravagant, and the expenses are only carried out according to the ordinary palace banquet. The details need to be discussed, and the day is almost over.

Just as Xiao He was about to leave the palace, a little eunuch came to summon her, saying that the emperor wanted to see her and announced her to go to the imperial study.

What is the matter with the summons at this time? Xiao He was puzzled in his heart, if he asked about the progress of this ceremony, he could find Shen Suhang or the two of them to be summoned together. But now she is the only one.

Xiao He followed behind the little eunuch and arrived at the imperial study.

As soon as he entered the imperial study, Xiao He bowed his head and made a respectful gesture, and went straight to the inner hall and bowed down to worship. But I heard Mu Churan's voice coming from the side, "Aiqing is flat." ”

He seemed to be looking for He books, and while rummaging through the western bookshelf, he asked Xiao He to be exempt.

"Some time ago, the first volume of the historical catalogue sent by Jixian Palace, I have seen it, and Aiqing really lived up to the trust and did not disappoint me."

Xiao He seemed to be sincerely frightened, and hurriedly responded: "It is all the joint efforts of all the members of the Imperial History Academy, not the work of Xiao He alone, Your Majesty has a good reputation." ”

"I don't know if you've heard of a joke circulating in the imperial capital recently, talking about Dajin's royal secrets, the scandal of seizing the heir,......" As he spoke, Mu Churan paced to Xiao He's side, leaned over slightly, approached her, and asked softly.

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister has never heard of it." Xiao He didn't think about it, and immediately denied it.

"Then I'll tell you about it." Mu Churan's voice was calm, as if telling a story, and he told the joke that Xiao He heard in the teahouse that day, and told it again, although Xiao He was a little apprehensive in his heart, his face was still calm.

She guessed how much Mu Churan already knew, and she was thinking about how to deal with it next.

"I asked you to revise the annals, do you know what the use of recording the annals is?" Mu Churan asked in a deep voice.

"Take history as a mirror, know the principles of governing the country, know the trend of tomorrow, and know the rise and fall of advances." Xiao He replied.

"This history is written by the winners, the winners and losers, and the losers should have the consciousness of losing everything." Mu Churan said, took a step forward, Xiao He saw that he was close to him, and hurriedly took a step back before saying, "Then Your Majesty thinks that the winner gets everything?" ”

Mu Churan sneered, "What can be the fate of the winner?" You have ordered the annals of history, how many people have been called emperors, and their lives are really as recorded in the history books? Diligent in government and love the people, for the benefit of one party, how many people can be called Mingjun? Winning the world is not the beginning, it is the most difficult to hold on. ”

Xiao He frowned slightly, her heart became more and more confused, but she smiled with a false smile on her face, "Your Majesty has worked hard, is wise and martial, naturally those who died in the history books cannot be compared." ”

Mu Churan was obviously amused by her flattering words, and took two steps forward, Xiao He took two steps back, and his back was against the edge of the case, causing something on the table to pop softly.

He decided in his heart that if he could hold the world, he would definitely be able to hold this little woman.

Mu Churan leaned over and approached Xiao He, looking at her eyes, as if carefully observing, from the stars in her eyes, seeing through what she was thinking, and as if appreciating carefully, seeing her eyelashes flutter like frightened birds, not daring to look directly at herself.

"Qinglong Hall, are you checking on them privately?" Mu Churan's voice was low, and she didn't speak loudly, as if she was about to scare her bird away, so she asked her cautiously.

Xiao He was stunned in his heart, remembering Mu Yunjing's words, Mu Churan really sent someone to monitor her, since he knew everything, why bother talking nonsense with himself again. She frowned, and met Mu Churan's eyes, there were too many things hidden in those eyes that she couldn't see or understand, and those eyes were burning, which couldn't help but make her want to escape, but she could only force herself in her heart not to run away.

"Your Majesty," she opened her voice, but because she was nervous in her heart, her voice was a little hoarse, and she forgot to lower her voice, revealing a bit of girlish sweetness.

Mu Churan was called by her like this, and her heart was like a stone entering a lake, rippling layer by layer, and she couldn't help but get closer to her.

Xiao He hurriedly adjusted, and then spoke, "Your Majesty, are you suspicious of the minister?" Or do you want to ask the ministers? But I heard Mu Churan say to her: "Although they are reckless, but there are masters behind them, step by step, you had better not get involved in it in private, so as not to be calculated." I'm afraid I won't be able to save you then. ”

He's worried about me? Xiao He was slightly stunned, he called himself "I" in front of him again, and for a while, his eyes were staggered, as if there was a spark jumping and flashing. But in the end, he was awakened by Xiao He's reason, and he must not be fooled.

She immediately smiled, "The minister has not done anything dangerous, so why do you need Your Majesty to save it?" ”

Mu Churan knew that she would not let go anymore, since this was the case, there was no reason to continue, but he didn't want to let her go. He reached out on the table beside her, leaned down, and half pressed against her.

Xiao He's face was shocked, and he didn't push him, and he couldn't push him, so he could only raise his voice slightly, "Your Majesty, please respect yourself!" ”

Mu Churan smiled softly, this little woman was very bold, she had never been really afraid of herself, but she pretended to be sincerely afraid in front of her. He was going to punish her a little and make her remember.

"Hmm......" Xiao He didn't expect Mu Churan to bite her lip, and the strength was not light, which made her feel a little painful, but because of his breath and temperature, she was a little flustered, and she hurriedly pushed him away.

She stepped back a few steps, her brows furrowed, her white jade-like face dyed a touch of pink, ashamed and annoyed, "Your Majesty! Minister...... The minister ...... "She was angry for a while, and she didn't know why to hurt the minister, and persuaded him not to be light on herself?" Persuade him to quit this habit as soon as possible? persuade him to take a concubine as soon as possible?

Mu Churan looked at her with a wicked smile, "Moyu, I want you to remember what I said to you today." Don't underestimate the enemy, be careful in everything. ”

Xiao He sighed secretly in his heart, I just was too light on the enemy, so I was attacked by you!

"Alright, you can stand down." With a wave of his long sleeves, he let her out.

After leaving the palace, Xiao He stroked his lips, he thought he was such a person. Her cheeks couldn't help but burn a little again, but she thought that her every move in the city had been mastered by Mu Churan recently. What she was most worried about was that Mu Yunjing would be discovered by him.

But Mu Churan's attitude is not like he knows everything, so he has some temptation. If Mu Yunjing had been under house arrest by Wuyiwei, he would inevitably come to arrest him again. If Wu Yiwei takes action, it will naturally explain the mastermind behind the bloody case of Dai Qingshan's family.

In her heart, there was a trace of expectation, not him.

What is this expectation? The mystery in her mind has never been solved.
