"You said she didn't go?" Chu Ye listened to the bamboo's reply and asked in a loud voice.

Zhuzi lowered his head, as if he was ashamed that he had not been able to do what Chu Ye had explained.

Chu Ye sighed, "Forget it, since she doesn't want to, don't force her." Go and ask her if she would like to go out and do some small business, and if she will, I will give her some money. ”

After Chu Ye finished speaking, the bamboo was still standing in place, without any movement.

"What's wrong?"

Zhuzi was silent for a long time before he considered his words and said, "My lord, my subordinates think that Yunqing girl seems to be wrong. ”

Inappropriate?

Chu Ye looked up at him. Zhuzi is not a person who talks much, since he said that something is wrong, it is indeed a little strange for Yunqing to act.

She picked up the wolf hair that Sima Jin threw into from the water bowl and dipped it in ink. With one stroke, a green mountain was outlined on rice paper.

Silent for a while.

Zhuzi didn't know what Chu Ye would think, but as her subordinate, he naturally had the responsibility to eliminate those restless factors for his master. Chu Ye just repeated the repetitive action of dipping ink and brushing. The cold wind howled outside the window, mercilessly blowing off the plum blossoms on the trees.

After a few strokes, Chu Ye threw the wolf into the pen wash again, leaving a sentence: "You look at it." ”

Bamboo hurriedly responded and exited the study.

Chu Ye gently dried the painting. A picture of "Landscapes and Forests" lay quietly on her desk.

The mountain painted by Chu Ye is the national mountain of Dongyao, Taihang, and unlike the mound, the altar on Taihang Mountain will only be used when the new emperor ascends the throne. Although it has not been used for a long time, the monks of Hukokuji Temple also go to clean it on weekdays. Because it is a royal garden, it is also a top priority. The mound on Taihang Mountain is broken all the year round, and only the host of Huguo Temple and the new emperor have a handful. When the first emperor died, he would be placed in the same red sandalwood box as the edict and handed over to the new emperor.

When Qi Lian ascended the throne, the government was chaotic, and because he was neither a descendant nor a long-term, even if it was a holy decree, it was just an oracle without evidence. It's really because other princes don't make a big deal, and Qi Rang shows no intention of the throne. The ministers accepted the emperor. But because there is only a verbal message, although the ministers do not say it on the surface, they can't help but talk about it in private, saying that Qi Lian is not the real heir to the throne. Qi Lian didn't know how many times he blamed Chu Ye for not doing things well.

Without the big key, Qi Lian naturally couldn't enter the mound of Taihang Mountain to worship the sky. Without sacrificing to the sky, even the people of Dongyao couldn't help but think that Qi Lian's throne was not worthy of the name.

And that's what Chu Ye wants to use!

On the eighth day of the first month, the heavenly sacrifice ceremony held in the imperial city was performed by Qi Rang, but the heavens did not punish him. Then she can use public opinion to create a candidate for the throne that Qi Rang is also recognized by God. Then, it was only necessary to find the big key before Qi Lian. Qi Rang will become Dongyao's true son! 、

Destiny.

Chu Ye sneered, what true destiny, what heavenly choice, it is just the result of a game in the world.

If you win, it's your life. If you lose, you will never recover!

Chu Ye looked through the window and looked east. Today's Qi Lian must also be troubled by those remarks of the people.

……

Dongyao Imperial City, Anyi Palace.

Qi Rang stood at the table, and there was also a picture of "Green Waters and Green Mountains" on the table. It's just that this picture is different from Chu Ye's own painting, but it was written by Yuan Muge, a great family in the world. Speaking of which, this master also failed in the imperial examination, but his family's conduct really didn't have the money to let him take another subject. This family can only sell calligraphy and paintings, hoping to raise enough money to let him go to Beijing again to catch the exam.

He set up a stall in the market, and naturally no one appreciated him. If it weren't for the head of the Chu family, who was famous all over the world at that time, he would have missed such a ghost in this world!

Qi Lian also likes Yuan Muge's paintings, and even wants this everyone to draw a "Emperor's Patrol Map" for him, but Yuan Muge is grateful for the grace of Chu's acquaintance, like a broken piano, announcing that he will no longer go out of the mountain to paint in this life. Since then, he has lived in seclusion in the mountains and forests and has been a fun-loving idiot.

Scarcity is expensive, and it is precisely for this reason that his paintings that have been handed down to the world have been sold at high prices. What's more, it requires a thousand taels of gold.

And the picture in Qi Rang's hand, although it is not a famous mountain such as Wangwu Taihang, and it is not worth a thousand taels of gold, but he also bought it back for a thousand taels of silver.

He looked at these words and smiled contemptuously, waved his hand, and said to his subordinates: "Put it away, and follow me into the palace tomorrow to present it to the emperor." ”

The servant hurriedly put away the scroll with his hands and feet, rolled it up, and put it into a box made of sandalwood. Don't forget to put two camphor wood pills in it, so as not to restrain ants.

Chu Ye walked to the window, stretched out his hand to pull up the curtain, and then came to Sima Jin's desk, and took a notebook to read.

"Five days ago, all the officials guarding the city were controlled, and I only learned afterwards that you took Li Shiyue to the southeast." Sima Jin's voice came from behind him.

"I'm going to investigate." Chu Ye said.

"Don't you need to consult me about what you do now?"

Chu Ye glanced at him: "What are you murderous?"

Sima Jin turned his head suddenly: "Li Shiyue is dead, he has never been defeated." Xiao Yezi, do you want to say, you are going to Lingtuoguan, you have to fulfill your promise, and explain to those soldiers outside I tell you, don't even think about it"

Chu Ye shook off the fold and sneered, "What are you doing when you bring me back to this Western Jin Dynasty court?" When Sima Jin was looking at his mother like a vase, I went to determine what happened to Lingtuoguan."

Sima Jin clasped Chu Ye's wrist, his eyebrows seemed to be covered with frost, and his strength was much greater unconsciously, Chu Ye was pinched by him, and the strong pressure of qi and blood unconsciously loosened, choked into his throat, and coughed violently.

Sima Jin immediately changed color: "Xiaoyezi, don't be angry, I ......"

"Don't let go yet." Chu Ye wiped his face and didn't have a good airway.

Sima Jin silently helped her sit down, turned his hand against her back, and a warm current poured into her body. Chu Ye slowed down for a while, felt much better, and then spoke: "Sima Jin, I'm not talking to you angrily, I have a reason to go." ”

Sima Jin was silent, and Chu Ye continued: "I don't want to hide it from you, Beiyi Soldier Master, it is very likely that he is my old friend. ”

Sima Jin said: "I know who it is"

Chu Ye said: "When I see him, I'll tell you." ”

Sima Jin said: "How can I rest assured that you have a body like yours." ”

Chu Ye said: "Naturally, I won't go into battle in person. ”

Sima Jin shook his head: "I don't believe it." ”

He smiled bitterly: "But if you don't believe it, I don't dare to stop you." When you leave, I will go with you. ”

Chu Ye raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Okay." ”

Sima Jin called Fang's father-in-law, spread out the edict on the desktop, and put pen to paper: "Between the flowers, Yu Rang, Lu Zhan accompanies him"

"Stay among the flowers." Chu Ye said, "He has other uses. ”

Sima Jin gestured and raised his head: "What do you mean ......?"

"I have long said that there are internal troubles in the DPRK. You go to Lingtuoguan, at least a few weeks, at most a few months, the bright throne is placed there, how can they not rebel" Chu Ye stood up and slowly lowered his hand, "That Beiyi soldier master, but everything has been calculated, why don't we come up with a plan"

Not long after Sima Jin's will was issued, someone asked to see him.

"Your Highness, Elder Song Guo, please talk to the Prime Minister." When the other party enters the door, he bows three times and knocks nine times, and the etiquette is the ultimate.

The old man of the Song Kingdom is highly respected, and he is a lonely man, so he is now authorized to live in the palace and given the ink pavilion, which sounds really elegant.

"It's so late, hasn't the old man slept yet?"

"Not yet." The man said respectfully, "The chariot is already prepared outside, Your Highness, Your Excellency, please come here." ”

Sima Jin frowned: "The Prime Minister is unwell, so you don't have to go." ”

"Your Highness, the villain was ordered to pass the word, this ......" The man showed a look of embarrassment.

"The elders of the country invite each other, how can it be reasonable not to go." Chu Ye walked to the door and glanced back at Sima Jin, "Let's go, don't let Song Guo wait for a long time." ”

The car drove all the way to the south, driving into the apricot forest, and the small pavilion in the depths was half exposed, looking at the rooftop, and the dark gray curtains danced lightly in the wind.

There were only two maids sweeping the floor in front of the small pavilion, and when they saw the two of them getting down, they bowed their heads and continued to do their own business.

The door was open, Chu Ye and Sima Jin walked in, they didn't see anyone, and the people accompanying them made a gesture: "The elder is in the inner hall."

When we came to the inner hall, Song Guolao really stood there, with his back to us, and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, you are here." ”

"I've seen the elders." Sima Jin made a gesture, and his voice was faint.

"The old man can't afford His Highness's gift." Elder Song turned around slowly, he was stroking the golden whip given by the emperor in his hand, and a pair of clear and cloudy eyes swept over the two of us, "I heard that His Royal Highness is preparing to drive the royal expedition in person, okay, it is quite the style of His Majesty back then." ”

Chu Ye rolled his eyes in his heart, Sima Jin's unsuccessful father came out to eat, drink and Lazar to summon the concubine, and he had the demeanor of a fart!

"Li Shiyue is dead, and our Western Jin Dynasty has lost a tiger general." Elder Song sighed and began to regret, and then his words changed, and his eyes locked on Chu Ye, "General Li went to Lingtuoguan, but he was ordered by Prime Minister 1"

Chu Ye said: "Exactly. ”

Song Guolao said: "Prime Minister, you have something to say"

Chu Ye smiled generously: "There is nothing to say." ”

Elder Song Guo snorted: "The Prime Minister has been away from the dynasty for three years, and now he has lost another general, so it will be difficult to convince the public when he goes to Lingtuoguan." ”

Chu Ye laughed: "With His Royal Highness here, how can you not convince the public"

Song Guolao's face was a little unpleasant: "What a sharp-toothed boy." Your Highness, can you rest assured that you will hand over the talisman to such a person and let him come to fight against Beiyi? ”

Sima Jin's face also sank: "What kind of person Chu Ye is, everyone can see. Without him, there would be no palace today, and there would be no Western Jin Dynasty today."

Elder Song Guolao said coldly: "Your Highness has been confused by the ministers. The old man put his words here, and handed over the talisman to this kid, you can, but you must make a military order to bring back the head of the Beiyi soldier master, and the military law will be punished."
