Chapter Twenty-Three: The Ministers Regard Death as Home
Nangong Jiang hasn't appeared since this incident. Mi Bei thought the same thing in his heart, maybe there was something else to do, otherwise he wouldn't have gone to extremes.
During this period, Mi Bei also quietly asked someone to ask the people in his house, saying that there was something going on in the court recently, and also said that Nangong Jiang had been getting up early every day and being greedy for darkness recently, so Nangong Jiang was too busy to take care of other things.
This can also make Mi Bei clean and pure, for fear that he will think about it as soon as he is free, if such a thing happens once, his life will not be guaranteed.
"Xiaomi, how are you doing? I heard that you met Tang Tang before, and he didn't do anything to you. ”
Xiaoliu has occasionally come to play recently, saying that he can come to Mibei to find something to eat, in fact, every time he grabs the osmanthus cake with Mibei to eat, this osmanthus cake is specially prepared by Yuan Yan for himself every time, and he doesn't know where to get the taste, and the last few times it tastes different from his before.
"Eh, why does this osmanthus cake seem to taste a little different?" Xiaoliu took a piece of osmanthus cake and ate it in one bite, and when he swallowed it in one bite, he chewed a few mouthfuls and said.
"No, I'm feeling fine. It's still like that, it's not like that. Mibe didn't say anything.
"Have you heard? Recently, the border has been invaded by foreign enemies, and it is necessary to recruit soldiers and wise men, as long as men are over 20 years old, they need to participate in the selection. Looks like you won't be able to escape either. ”
Xiaoliu has a playful heart, but he is actually worried about Mi Bei, Mi Bei always thinks of himself as a man in the building, not many people know that Mi Bei is actually a woman, and the people around him know that Mi Bei is a man, and then I Mi Bei may be picked up on the battlefield.
Even if he didn't go to the battlefield, he was stunned to be a virtuous person or something, because he knew that the murder of the lady of the Shangshu family might be related to Mi Bei, so how could the face of the Shangshu Mansion exist.
Speaking of the wife of the Shangshu family last time, Nangong Jiang said that it was dealt with, and it turned out that all the sources of the wife of the Shangshu family were cut off, and above the court, he constantly pursued the Shangshu, and it turned out that Shangshu received a lot of oil and water on weekdays, so he was turned over by Nangong Jiang one by one in the court, but he was an old courtier for more than ten years, so he was demoted and confiscated the family property as a punishment.
In this way, the wife of the Shang Shujia has also been somewhat restrained, after all, it is a little difficult to open a meal at home now, let alone talk about spending a lot of time drinking.
So Shangshu's family was raided a little inexplicably, and he shouldn't know that Mibei's eldest brother was also an official in the court, and he had to pay the price for offending his dearest sister.
And this official position is not inferior to Shangshu, but this Shangshu and Nangong Jiang are also rivals, there are always many arguments in the court, and now the emperor's position is vacant, the queen mother is in power, and there are no grandchildren and children under her knees, it seems that the world of the Xiao family may be so lonely.
"What are you afraid of, let's talk about it then, the waterway bridgehead is naturally straight."
Mi Bei said indifferently. When the time comes, I really can't change back to women's clothes, it turns out that Nangong Jiang was busy with these things a while ago. I don't know if I'm playing for my sister.
"Okay, as long as you are not afraid of heaven and earth, you are like an emperor." Xiao Liu said this unintentionally, and he didn't know what this sentence was like for Mi Bei to really feel on that day.
"Why, are you envious, haha~" Mi Bei said heartlessly, without any laughter, I don't know how I stepped on a road of no return step by step.
Xiaoliu didn't speak, just ate Mibei's osmanthus cake. "Recently, the matter of that Chi Ji has been all the rage, do you know what happened?"
"Chihime? And the daughter of King Anping?" Mi Bei thought for a long time before recalling and asked.
"Yes, but it's lively, didn't that Ruan Lan save you a while ago, and the rumors among the people are also colorful, don't you know." Xiaoliu seems to be watching a play.
"What happened? Don't get old and lose my appetite, if you have something to say, "Mi Bei let him hang with some dissatisfaction.
"Didn't you hear that Chi Ji was a beauty before? And there are rumors that Ruan Lan is particularly attentive, but it was because Ruan Lan's kindness to you was spread all over the world, thinking that Ruan Lan was suspected of breaking her sleeves, hahaha~"
I heard Xiao Liu's heart-wrenching voice.
"Do you know, it is said that Chi Ji has always come to Xingcao Lou recently, and Ruan Lan has not seen her again after seeing her a few times at the beginning, people in the outside world are speculating, I don't know if they have a gap, they all say that Ruan Lan and Chi Ji are a match made in heaven, and because of your short-sleeved fetish, now the little guys in the building are afraid of being taken by Ruan Lan for a while."
Xiao Liu said with an intermittent smile, it seems that Ruan Lan's reputation is about to be stinked by Mi Bei.
Mi Bei heard this, very unkind laughter, really, Mi Bei more and more feel that this ordinary people are really very creative, you say that people who don't know the inside story stand up and seem to be legendary, but if you know the inside story, such as yourself, hearing this, just want to laugh, it really feels like a different world.
"You have no conscience, and you are still laughing." Xiaoliu heard my laughter, and he stopped the laughter, and he also talked about it heartlessly, and pointed to Mi Bei and said.
"Otherwise, it's as magical as making up a book." Mi Bei said slowly.
"That's too, but then again, do you know what the relationship between Ruan Lan and Chi Ji is? The outside world is like this, they are so mysterious, Ruan Lan saved you in the audience before, are you familiar with him? I remember you didn't know him before, how did he suddenly be so nice to you. ”
Xiao Liu was like a sniper, constantly throwing out, smashing at himself one by one, and he didn't know how to answer him for a while.
"I don't know, I saw him for the first time, otherwise how could I have been... How could it be..."Mi Bei suddenly didn't want to talk about it, as if he remembered the embarrassing scene.
"How could anything? Haha~ I don't know you either, although I know that you love to look at handsome guys and beauties, and I usually see that you have that lust and no guts, but I didn't expect you to be so obvious. ”
Xiaoliu doesn't know if it's really mixed with Mi Bei, he really knows me quite well, and he said with a smile while laughing out of breath.
There's no way, Mi Bei touched his nose and was such a colorless person, no way, Mi Bei was also helpless to himself.
"Don't think so much about other people's affairs, just be yourself, as for that Ruan Lan, I really don't know what he thinks, alas, just let him go, don't think so much." Mibe shrugged.
Unconsciously, it is the time of returning to the earth in the spring of another year, and when everything recovers, at this time of the year, the queen mother of the wood country will hold a banquet in the palace, not only to celebrate the gift of the world, but also to the spring of another year. It's just that the scenery is still there, Mu Guojun is not there, and the palace is also desolate, so I just watch it.
"In this world, I don't know who will end up in the hands, the mourning family is old, and it can't hold on, inside and outside the court, they are letting the government be handed over, it's not that the mourning family refuses to hand it over, even if it wants to be handed over, it must be handed over to a credible person, in case it is handed over to a murderous monarch, then what should our people do, what should our family do?"
What I see now is just a teary-eyed old man worrying about the future.
"It's spring again, I think of the emperor's mourning family last year, but it's a pity that the first emperor didn't leave a son and a daughter, if there was a little son, or a daughter, it's okay, so the mourning family doesn't have to be so tired."
The more the Queen Mother spoke, the more sad she felt.
"Is it because the mourning family doesn't have this blessing, everything else is surrounded by children and grandchildren, but this royal family, which should be the most prosperous, is now the most deserted family. Did I do something wrong at the beginning, was it my karma? ”
At this time, although she saw the graceful and wealthy Queen Mother, she was just a pale old man under the moonlit sky in the dead of night, just an ordinary old man who wanted to be lively at home. Loneliness looks so sad.
"Queen Mother, it's late at night, it's cold outside the palace, let's go back to the palace to rest."
The little maid beside the Queen Mother said, and she also put a cloak on the Queen Mother in her hand, and while helping the Queen Mother back to the palace, the Queen Mother touched the maid beside her while walking, sighed, touched the maid, and muttered lovingly, "If she is still here, she is as old as you." ”
"Queen Mother, do you need anything?" The maid didn't hear what the Queen Mother was saying, and seemed to hear the Queen Mother next to her command, so she asked.
"Let's go back to the palace." The Queen Mother looked ahead blankly, and continued to walk slowly forward with the little maid beside her.
Above the wooden court.
"Empress Dowager Qi, now that the border of our country has been invaded by barbarians, the surrounding fire countries, earth countries and other countries are eyeing each other, and now we can only send people to resist the border and ask the surrounding countries for help. Queen Mother, our country cannot be without a monarch for a day, you should make a decision quickly, otherwise our country will be in such a worrying situation. ”
The prime minister walked out from the side and said this. Inciting people's hearts, thinking that in such a situation, everyone was frightened when they saw the chaos in the court after Tai finished speaking, for fear that there would be a battle formation above the court at this time, and there was no need to wait for other countries to attack, and the internal strife in the country would be too busy to take care of themselves.
Originally, the prime minister also served the country wholeheartedly, but there is always greed in the hearts of the people, in the form of the wood country, there is no one who can speak, and the lower-level officials flatter and praise each other, which makes people's greed increase day by day, and they have the ambition of a wolf who wants to dominate.
There are more and more anti-bone phenomena in the court, but no one says anything, and slowly there are small groups on the side of the court, divided into two major factions.
"Prime Minister Wang, the Queen Mother is here, how can you be presumptuous, then didn't the Queen Mother say it before, now it is in a hurry, the top priority is to solve the matter over there first, not infighting. The queen mother, if you need the old slave is willing to recruit in person, the minister regards death as home. ”
