The beginning of spring in the 20th year of Zhiping is very early, on the day of the fourth day of the beginning of spring, early in the morning, the team of the Fu Yin whip spring cow has just come out of the government office, a string of more than a dozen red hanging colors, all the way to the gong of the post soldiers, rushed in from the Weizhou Gate, along the most lively West Street, turn to Xiliangqiao Street, and then to the Royal Street, through most of the capital, from the wide Royal Street straight to the palace gate.

The first good news came from the north.

This day's whip spring cattle, after decades of excitement, is often mentioned, those joy, those high-ranking families, the emperor's reward, the queen mother's reward......

It wasn't until the evening that King Qin came out of the palace and asked Li Wenshan and Guo Sheng to talk.

In the flower hall in the front yard of the academy, there was a wide table, a few cold dishes and a red copper pot were placed, and in the corner next to it, a tea table was placed, and the tea was poured with light and warm wine, and waited beside it.

Before Li Wenshan entered the flower hall, he smiled very festively, and as soon as he entered the flower hall, he bowed to the end, "Congratulations to the prince, the prince is really unstoppable." ”

"What's the matter with Guan Huyan?" King Qin wore an azure gray robe, without a belt, and looked very casual, "He's a messenger, and he is here to be an ornament." ”

Guo Sheng was one or two steps behind Li Wenshan, bowed his hand, and looked at King Qin's face, happy and relaxed, but shallow.

Lu Yi took the wine jug from Chengying's hand, poured the wine, handed a glass to King Qin, and motioned to Li Wenshan and Guo Sheng, "There is such a happy letter at the beginning of the year, this joy is rare." ”

"Yes." Li Wenshan raised his head and drank the wine in the glass, sat down, and laughed, "I heard Xi Xin'er, I was reading a few articles with my uncle, and my uncle said that this point is good, and the son of the world is really meticulous." ”

King Qin showed a slight smile, "Clumsy Yan's temper, I'm afraid I don't want this at all, even if he thinks about it, he doesn't bother to do it, this must be Guan Quan's idea, this Guan Quan, looking clumsy, is actually delicate and exquisite." ”

Guo Sheng looked at King Qin with a little appreciation, sipped his wine and did not speak.

It is really rare for the prince to look at people, he commented on the prince and Guan Quan, and it was the same as the girl, and the girl had never missed people......

"What is Brother Guo thinking?" Lu Yi sat next to Guo Sheng.

Guo Sheng put down the cup, but looked at King Qin and spoke, "General Guan is a stable one, and he has the prince by his side to support him and resist all the things in the court.

This first city is recovered, and the next two cities will be soon. At the end of Yi Xin's strong crossbow, she captured three cities last year, but she just let go of a gamble, and this time, she lost the bet.

General Guan and Shi Ziye are both tempers that must be eradicated when cutting grass, and the north, like the south, will be quiet and carefree for at least twenty years after this war. ”

These are the words of his girl, the five bodies he admires are too clear and too clear.

"These are all excellent things, but if there is no external trouble, the court will ...... inside" Guo Sheng did not continue to say the second half of the sentence, and the struggle between the DPRK and China temporarily suppressed by the north-south crisis was about to be in full swing.

"There are also local armies, under the heavy pressure of the north-south crisis before, whether it is the emperor or the central government, they have to start to revitalize and clean up, and now, the prince, the assistant military department, is idle."

This is the girl's worry, alas, there will be chaos for a long time, and chaos will be cured for a long time, and it has been like this for thousands of years.

Li Wenshan lost his smile when he heard this, Lu Yi poured a glass of wine for him, and said in a low voice: "The life of a person is unsatisfactory nine times out of ten, the imperial court empire, even more so, the current empire can be regarded as a great rule of Qingping." ”

King Qin listened intently to Guo Sheng's words, his expression was very calm, what Guo Sheng said, he had already thought of it, he thought more than he said.

Twenty years after the peace between the north and the south, twenty years later, the biggest battle in the empire should have been settled.

"Don't talk about this, today the emperor said about the Spring Festival, and Tang Shangshu has already drafted a decree, and this year's will will be early, and Tang Shangshu will be closed from tomorrow."

King Qin changed the subject briskly.

Guo Sheng laughed, "It's okay, it's just over a month away from the Spring Festival, this year's Shangyuan Festival will be lively for decades, and Tang Shangshu can't see this excitement." ”

"The emperor is very happy, if it weren't for the fact that next year is the Spring Year, I'm afraid that I will open Enke, this department, the emperor has already issued an order to record more scholars, about fifty percent more than usual." King Qin looked at Lu Yi, "If your seventeenth uncle can take this subject, it can be regarded as a blessing for Bai Shuai." ”

Hearing King Qin mention Ruan Seventeen, Lu Yi looked helpless, "Seventeen...... Alas, yesterday I was still angry with Nguyen. Early yesterday morning, he went to Ruan's and said that he had been thinking about it for two or three days, and he didn't plan to take the exam for this subject, so he asked Ruan to tell me. ”

King Qin almost choked on a sip of wine, "What's going on again?" ”

"Nothing happened, he said, the sixth lady has never been anywhere, has never seen anything, lived in Taiyuan Mansion for more than ten years, wanted to go to see the temple fair, has not been able to become, lived in Hengshan County for three years, Hangzhou City has not been to a few trips, Hengshan County is known for the elegant restaurant, she has not been there, said that he feels uncomfortable when he thinks about it, he wants to take the six ladies around, play for three years, five years, ten years and eight years, and then say something else."

Guo Sheng laughed, and pointed at Li Wenshan while laughing, Li Wenshan spread his hands, "I can't control this matter, he has complained to me two or three times, saying that my eldest brother is not responsible, and I said follow him." ”

"How did he know that? Surely it wasn't what you said, he saw your sister? King Qin looked at Li Wenshan.

Li Wenshan's face did not change, "How do I know!" My two sisters, no, four sisters, I don't care which one of them. The eldest aunt said once, they were all serious meetings, and a bunch of people watched the mother-in-law and the girl, and they were about to get married, and there was no one in charge of the Ruan family's house, so they could only tell Xiao Seventeen about anything, and they couldn't see each other. ”

King Qin laughed out loud and pointed at Li Wenshan, "Yan's family is really rare, Ah Niang also talked about your house before, saying that she had seen Ah Xia and the six ladies and seven ladies once, and at first glance, they were lenient and strict, and their upbringings were excellent, lively and proportionate." ”

"The eldest aunt also said the same, saying that it can be managed, and it will be bad to manage the child rigidly." Li Wenshan hurriedly nodded in agreement, he also felt that the eldest aunt was very good.

Guo Sheng's eyebrows jumped sharply, when did the Queen Mother see the girl? Lively and disproportionate, you have to think about it...... Why does the Queen Mother want to see the girl? Guo Sheng couldn't help but look at King Qin.

Lu Yi looked at Guo Sheng and watched him keep looking at King Qin, his eyes narrowed slightly.

King Qin keenly met Guo Sheng's gaze, his eyebrows raised slightly, Guo Sheng hurriedly laughed and said, "This is the New Year, the prince is twenty, right?" Or nineteen? The prince's family affairs have not been decided yet? ”

King Qin slanted at Guo Sheng, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he said that A-Niang had seen A-Xia once, and he asked if his family matter had been decided......

Guo Sheng looked at King Qin and narrowed his eyes a little, and laughed a few times, "Look at what I asked, the prince's family affairs have not been decided, the prince is a few months older than the prince, the prince is not in a hurry, the prince is not in a hurry, it's still early, hehe, General Lu, you say yes, this family matter, it's better to be later, like the general, how good, hehe, yes." ”

"It's too late to be like General Lu, isn't it?" Li Wenshan couldn't help but say: "General Lu was only a relative at the age of twenty-five or sixteen, this is ......"

"The more you talk about it, the more unpleasant it becomes." Seeing that King Qin's face was faintly not very good, Lu Yi pointed at Guo Sheng and Li Wenshan and smiled, "Even I have arranged it." Seventeen, you are the eldest brother, you can't do anything with him like this, that's a person who can do whatever he wants, you don't do it for him, for your eldest sister, you have to take care of him. ”

"It's useless to take care of the seventeenth master, the fifth master will explain the sixth lady, and you will have it." Guo Sheng answered the sentence and smiled, looking at the gloom on King Qin's face out of the corner of his eye, he wondered in his heart, what was wrong with those words just now? What's the secret?

A few people talked again, and it didn't take long for Jin Xiang to invite King Qin to discuss how to celebrate this great victory in the north.

Lu Yi accompanied King Qin to the imperial city, Guo Sheng and Li Wenshan came out and turned to the street, Guo Sheng caught up with Li Wenshan and said in a low voice: "This year's addition, the fifth master had better go to find the seventeenth master at this time and tell him this word." ”

"Then he won't take the Chun Fu test?" Li Wenshan first thought about this important matter.

"The sixth lady is as good as the Ruan family, and the fifth master doesn't have to worry about this matter. The fifth master just showed his brother's style to the seventeenth master, and when he should say, I will go to find your uncle and say a few words to him. ”

Li Wenshan nodded in response, and the two went their separate ways.
