……

The next day, the imperial study of the Kangguo Palace.

The early morning sun shone happily on the window lattice, and Kandi stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back, and the sunlight stretched his shadow very long.

"Taifu, am I old?" For a long time, there was a faint sigh.

Zuo Zhangheng stood quietly beside him, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty is in the prime of life, so how old can you talk about it." ”

Kandi turned around and waved his hand vigorously at Cao: "Give Taifu a seat." ”

After Zuo Zhangheng thanked him, he sat on the chair that Cao Dali had moved.

After Kandi paced to the desk, Longmu stared at the letter on the table, and sighed:

"I took over this mess from Xuguo back then, there were tigers and wolves before and then famine, I couldn't sleep at night, and it took more than ten years to put Dakang in order and clear up internal and external troubles. But in my heart, I have never stopped longing, I am eager to take the whole world into my pocket and build Dakang into an iron bucket! ”

Zuo Zhangheng was silent, he knew that Kandi didn't need the opinions of others at this time, he just needed a listener.

"Nanyu, it's just a small land. But it is a small country, but it is fertile for thousands of miles, enjoying the accumulation of heaven. I admit that I want to take it into my pocket, if I can accept the Southern Decree, why should Dakang worry about rice and grain? If there is another natural disaster, this Nanyu is a huge natural granary! But you, and the other courtiers, disapprove of me. The southern edict of the capital is full of miasma, the terrain is steep and easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the lord of the southern edict has always been safe and guarded himself, and is willing to pay tribute to Kangguo, if he really wants to send troops, the gains will outweigh the losses. ”

Zuo Zhangheng sighed lowly.

Kandi suddenly raised his voice, pointed to the music on the table and shouted angrily:

"However, it is the unambitious lord of the Nanyu in your mouth who wants to marry the only county lord of the Nanyu to the emperor! Tell me, what is his purpose? What exactly did he want to form an alliance with the country? ”

Zuo Zhangheng stood up from the chair and stretched to the ground: "The minister is frightened, and please ask Your Majesty to deal with the crime of the minister." ”

Kandi looked at Zuo Zhangheng, who was saluting in front of him, and was silent for a long time.

Beads of sweat the size of beans rolled down Cao Dali's forehead, and he subconsciously swallowed saliva.

"Get up."

After Kandi said these three words, he sat down slowly, and the back of the chair looked a little depressed.

"I'm not a faint king, nor am I a young son, I know how to tell right from wrong. I didn't know that it would be difficult to attack Nanyu, and countless soldiers would lose their lives. But Nanyu is very close to Kangjing, how can others be allowed to snore on the side of the couch? If Nan Yu really thinks about it, do you know how long it will take for the soldiers to come to Changping City? ”

Zuo Zhangheng didn't dare to get up, but still bowed his head deeply.

"Alas"

Kandi let out a long sigh, and was no longer angry, and said coldly: "Your father-in-law Dingshan Gong, is he okay now?" I haven't seen him in years, and I miss him a little. ”

Zuo Zhangheng's heart suddenly burst out, and he said respectfully: "Uncle Yue is in good health, and he can eat three bowls per meal, but the ministers are not up to him." ”

Kandi bowed his head, waved his hand, and said, "Stand down." ”

"The minister retired."

……

Behind the pillars at the entrance of the imperial study, Xiao Zhen hugged Xiao Heng with a dazed face in her arms tightly, she bit her lip tightly, and two lines of tears slipped from her jade face.

Yang Shili, the Duke of Dingshan, and the Yang family army under his command were the sharpest knives in the hands of his father.

Does the father want to pull out this long-sealed blade?

So, the one who tried the knife......

"Sister Huang, why are you crying?" Xiao Heng clumsily stretched out his little hand, trying to wipe away her tears.

Xiao Zhen came back to her senses, wiped away the tears on her cheeks three or two times, and smiled at Xiao Heng in her arms: "The wind is blind, go, I'll take you to greet my father, and then go to Wenhua Hall to attend classes." ”

Xiao Heng nodded as if he didn't understand: "Okay." ”

……

At the same time, the Kangguo Harem Changxin Palace.

Concubine Lu Xian leaned on the chaise longue, her eyes were lightly closed, and a palace maid stood behind her who was pressing her temples hard.

"Let's not talk about it first, the Yang family is used to enjoying it, Qingfang went to learn a few times, and it was really much more comfortable than before."

Concubine Lu Xian said lazily, her voice soft.

"The old slave heard that this was invented by the second lady of his family, Niangniang is really discerning, no wonder you want to take her as the princess of Germany." The grandmother next to her smiled and patted a sycophant.

"Heh," Concubine Lu Xian chuckled, "Mama Liu, this mouth of yours, this palace is really very loving." ”

Before Mama Liu could be happy, she only heard Concubine Lu Xian continue: "But you are wrong this time, this palace has taken a fancy to her, not because of her strange ideas. ”

Suddenly, a white-faced little eunuch hurriedly walked into the hall and whispered: "Qi Niangniang, the third lady of the Zuo family asks to see you." ”

"Oh?" Concubine Lu Xian waved her hand to make Qingfang stop, and she slowly sat up: "What is she doing?" ”

"Hui Niangniang, she said that the screen you wanted was embroidered."

The corners of Concubine Lu Xian's mouth curled slightly, as if she was smiling: "Call in." ”

Mama Liu stepped forward to help her up, and said diligently: "This Miss Zuo, since she met her mother at Miss Zuo's wedding banquet a few years ago, she has been eager to ask for peace every day over the years, and I don't know what her idea is." ”

"What else can I think? Scold. ”

Concubine Lu Xian got off the chaise longue and sat on the armchair with an elegant posture.

After a while, the dressed Zuo Yunyun walked in with a long box in his arms.

"The courtier's daughter Zuo Yunyun, meet the virtuous concubine Niangniang, Niangniang Jin'an."

She handed the wooden box in her hand to the palace maid and bowed.

"You kid, you've been back and forth many times, why do you still do such a courtesy?" Concubine Lu Xian smiled warmly and raised her hand to tell her to get up.

Zuo Yunyun stood up respectfully and said softly: "Niangniang likes the embroidery work of the courtiers, which is the blessing of the courtiers." The courtiers hurried and hurried, but it still took a lot of time, and the mother didn't blame her for being kind-hearted. ”

"Look, I'm more talkative." Concubine Lu Xian said with a smile, Mama Liu.

"But no, who doesn't know that the third lady of Taifu Mansion is a clear person." Mama Liu smiled lovingly to cater to her.

Zuo Yunyun appropriately bowed his head shyly: "Niangniang made fun of the courtiers again." ”

"Come, come to the main palace." Concubine Lu Xian beckoned.

Zuo Yunyun obediently walked up to her and stood beside her.

Concubine Lu Xian stretched out her well-maintained soft wattle and patted the back of Zuo Yunyun's hand: "In the future, I really don't know which blessed one can marry you back, what a girl with a delicate heart." ”

Zuo Yunyun's face darkened when he heard this, and then he forced a smile and said: "Niangniang has a good reputation, Niangniang is kind and kind, and being your daughter-in-law is a truly blessed person." The courtiers are just a concubine, and whoever they marry is not picked, it is fate. ”

Concubine Lu Xian's face was full of distress: "This kid ......"

She looked over the top of Zuo Yunyun's head and quickly exchanged glances with Mama Liu.

"This palace can be regarded as watching you grow up, and I know your character very well, but which son-in-law do you fall in love with? If you talk to the palace, I think Mrs. Zuo will not hesitate to give this thin noodles to the palace. ”

Zuo Yunyun raised her head in panic, tears flashed in her eyes, she grabbed Concubine Lu Xian's hand and knelt down with a puff, her head shaking into a rattle:

"Niangniang, you misunderstood, the courtiers don't dare to exceed the rules, how dare they teach and receive from others privately, the courtiers don't have a favorite person."
