In the imperial study room of the palace, the empress commanded the camellia to engrave words on the pillar, and it happened that the Eight Sages King and Lu Gongxing arrived.

"Your Majesty."

The empress turned her head, saw the Eight Sages King, and smiled: "Uncle Huang is here." ”

The Eight Sages King snorted and asked, "What is Your Majesty doing here?" ”

The empress smiled and stretched out her hand to point to the pillar: "Uncle Huang, look, Duke Lu, you also come and see." ”

When the two of them heard this, they really came up to take a look, but they saw that the words "rich country", "refugee", "conscription", "Enko" and so on were written on the pillar.

The Eight Sages King hissed and said, "Your Majesty, who are you?" ”

The empress smiled and turned back to the dragon book: "I just remembered a story that Wang Xiaolai told me two months ago. ”

"Story, what story?"

"Uncle Huang, Duke Lu, sit down first."

The two of them did it and looked at the empress.

The empress rubbed her temples with one hand and said: "When Wang Xiao said that when he was reading history books, he saw some diligent kings, who would engrave important things on the pillars in the imperial study, which was used to remind the monarch at all times, what to do, what to do first, and never forget. ”

The Eight Sages King snorted and asked, "Which history book is recorded?" A general history of empires? The biography of the kings? The old minister has turned these books to pieces, and he has not seen any records that match them. ”

Lu Gongyou also echoed: "Weichen has never seen a consistent record in these two history books. ”

The empress shrugged her shoulders: "What is the twenty-four history of Wang Xiao, do we have this kind of history book in Sui Yang?" ”

The Eight Sages King shook his head honestly: "No, the only two history books in the empire at present are the general history of the empire and the biographies of the kings of the past dynasties. ”

The empress said: "Then don't think about it, eighty percent of it was made up by Wang Xiaolai's kid to make me happy." ”

"Then why do you still believe it, Your Majesty?" The Eight Sages asked with a smile.

The empress said: "It's not that I believe it, but I think this method is good, when I was busy with government affairs before, I always felt that I had nowhere to start, and now I write down the important things on the pillar, which is much simpler." ”

When the Eight Sages King heard this, he looked at the pillar, but when he saw the word on it, he was stunned, what happened, it turned out that Camellia had carved a name on the pillar.

Who, Wang Xiaolai.

Not only did the Eight Sages King find out, but even Lu Gongyou found out, the two most authoritative commanders in the Sui Yang Army glanced at each other and were stunned at the same time.

The empress looked at the reaction of the two and smiled, she didn't break it, but said, "Do you know what I called you here this time?" ”

The Eight Sages King and Lu Gongyou both shook their heads.

The empress poured two cups of tea, picked them up in front of the Eight Sages King and Lu Gongyou, and handed them to the two of them respectively.

Panicked, they hurriedly straightened up to take it, and leaned over to thank them.

The empress waved her dragon robe and big sleeves, walked in the imperial study, and said: "The latest news from the dark guard, the one from Guangling has come to Daxing City." ”

"Your Majesty, did you mean that King Guangling has come to Daxing City, where is he now?" Lu Gongyou was taken aback and hurriedly asked.

The empress shook her head: "I don't know the details, but when he came to Daxing City, I am afraid that it will cause many courtiers to have evil thoughts." ”

When the Eight Sages King heard this, he snorted, and his expression became extremely solemn: "When the first emperor died, King Guangling has always been the most powerful contender for the throne, and the Qingzhou Party regarded King Guangling as the new emperor. ”

The empress said: "So, it's going to trouble Duke Lu." ”

Lu Gongyou looked up and was stunned.

The empress sat down directly on the ground of the main hall, and the eight sages who watched it were stunned, and in their impression, the empress was a person who knew etiquette very well, and she would never be like this.

"The guards of the imperial city are all under the command of Duke Lu, who is responsible for the safety of Daxing City, if he King Guangling really wants to come to Daxing City to turn over the river and the sea, the Senate and those royal clansmen, Duke Lu, when the time comes, you pay more attention." Empress Dao.

Lu Gongyou hurriedly got up and knelt down: "Weichen takes the order." ”

The empress smacked her lips again: "But try not to provoke too much, I think that King Guangling will come this time, there is a high probability that he will not have any intentions, after all, it is not as good as when I first ascended the throne two years ago, at that time he didn't dare to make any unusual moves, and now, he should not dare to." ”

The Eight Sages King nodded beside him: "That's right, King Guangling loved money in his life, known as the rich and rivaled the country, and he didn't have much temperament for the struggle for power. ”

The empress snorted, and when she saw that Lu Gongyou didn't speak, she couldn't help but ask, "Duke Lu, why don't you speak?" ”

Lu Gongyou said: "The minister is thinking about the purpose of King Guangling's entry into Beijing this time. ”

The empress smiled: "Have you figured it out?" ”

Lu Gongyou said: "I'm not sure. ”

"Speak."

"Yes, Your Majesty, the annual tribute of the vassal state should be coming soon, as the king of the Suiyang domain, they also have the responsibility to pay tribute to the imperial court, the king of Guangling entered Beijing this time, will it be because of this?" Lu Gong said.

When the empress heard this, she nodded: "It makes sense, but it's just our guess after all, Camellia." ”

Next to him, Camellia clenched his fists: "Your Majesty." ”

"Write the name of King Guangling."

"Yes."

In other words, the camellia engraved the name of Zhao Sui, the king of Guangling, on the pillar.

"Lu Gong, then again, Narcissus was put in a refugee settlement by me, you won't feel distressed." The empress smiled and joked with Lu Gongyou.

Lu Gongyou shook his head and didn't speak.

Seeing this, the empress suddenly felt bored, except for Wang Xiaolai, when she was with any prince and minister, it was very boring, and there was no fun, for a while, the empress wanted Wang Xiaolai to come.

"In a few days, it will be Suizhu and Narcissus's birthdays, and when the time comes, I will call the two of them back, give Narcissus a day off, allow her to return to Wuhou Mansion, and let Lu Gong and your father and daughter meet."

Lu Gongyou's face was overjoyed when he heard this, but he immediately changed back to his original state.

When the empress saw it, she only smiled slightly and didn't click on it.

But the Eight Sages King sighed and asked; "Your Majesty, you just said that with Zhu and her, with Narcissus?"

The empress nodded: "Well, what's wrong?" ”

"Didn't Suizhu last time you were grounded in the Chengqian Palace and couldn't go out?"

The empress looked at the Eight Sages King with a smile: "Uncle Huang, don't you know what Suizhu's temperament is, this girl is used to being wild, who can watch her, more than ten days ago, she sneaked out of the palace to find Wang Xiao." ”

King Baxian was anxious: "Isn't this nonsense, Suizhu and Prince Silla have already had a marriage contract, but she went to find Wang Xiao, if it spreads, where is the majesty of our royal family." Moreover, if the Silla side knows, what is Sui Yang's face. ”

The empress waved her hand to signal that it was okay: "It's okay, Suizhu's girl, just treat Wang Xiaolai as a close friend, and nothing will happen." Besides, don't say that Silla doesn't know, even if Silla knows, what if he dares to come? provoked me to get angry and set foot on Silla. ”

The Eight Sages King trembled for a while, and said in his heart that Your Majesty's temper is growing day by day.

"What's more." Sighing, the empress said slowly: "Since the death of the imperial brother, Suizhu has not had any smiling face for several days, this palace is the only thing that Wang Xiaolai can make Suizhu smile, before she married Silla, it was my last birthday gift to her." ”

When the empress said this, the Eight Sages King was silent.

After a long time, the Eight Sages King said: "Your Majesty, the words are so true, but the old minister is worried that Wang Xiaolai does not understand etiquette and messes up the rules of the monarch and ministers. ”

The empress laughed: "Don't worry, Uncle Huang, I know that little bastard Wang Xiaolai, if you borrow him a hundred guts, he won't dare to do anything to Suizhu, he, cowardice." ”

When the Eight Sages King heard this, he was slightly relieved.

But is that really the case?

···

In the barracks of the refugee settlement, Nightmare was invited to come and play cards with Wang Xiaolai.

Princess Suizhu also pestered Wang Xiaolai, and she had to ask for a piece, but Wang Xiaolai couldn't resist her, so she had to agree.

Wang Xiaolai, Nightmare, and Shen Xiping sat down, and the surrounding circle was full of soldiers watching the excitement, eager to squeeze the tent through.

Princess Suizhu and Shu Jiuchai were behind Wang Xiaolai.

The three of them are playing the landlord, this thing is Wang Xiaolai idle and boring, playing dice and not playing Shen Xiping They made it, once they made it, the support of the deep soldiers, this is not more than two months, every night you can hear the roar of the barracks shouting four two belts and two kings.

"Four to eleven, Junko." Nightmare smiled and slapped a stack of playing cards made of thin wooden boards, he was a good learner, and he knew how to play with only two handfuls.

"Blow him up, Wang Xiaolai, blow him up." Princess Suizhu hurriedly shouted.

Wang Xiaolai was annoyed by hearing this, and opened his mouth to shout: "Shut up with small breasts." ”

In a word, like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, Princess Suizhu's whole person had a bad expression and was petrified in place.
