Chapter 203: Refusal to marry

The next morning, Gu Qingcheng got up and washed up briefly, and asked Feihong to send the recipes that he had drawn up for His Majesty last night to eat and which not to eat. Ｘ

Early in the morning, I went to the purchasing company and asked them to buy fresh seafood and mustard seeds on the day of Princess Shanggu and Lu, so that they could be used for the banquet of Princess Shanggu and Lu.

Of course, the wine is made with the imperial palace's tribute wine jade liquid elixir.

He also ordered the carving of small wooden boats loaded with food.

Then, I went to the Imperial Garden to see how those skilled craftsmen repaired the meandering water.

The craftsmen have already designed the drawings and are working on them.

They also took the drawings and meticulously introduced to Gu Tingcheng how each place in the Imperial Garden was laid out.

Gu Qingcheng left with a satisfied chin head.

Tuoba Tao passed on Tuoba to the imperial study in the early days and secretly discussed the military situation of the Southern Expedition.

Tuoba thought of his imperial grandfather's age, and actually wanted to admit his wife into the palace, and when he saw the imperial grandfather, he was angry.

But thinking about it, the emperor's grandfather didn't know that Allure had already married him by worshipping heaven and earth, so he endured it.

Discuss business with Your Majesty.

After talking about business, the emperor told him that the crown princess wanted to make a princess for him, and see what he meant.

As soon as Tuoba heard that his mother was going to give him Helan Mingyue and Li Shuang'er, he immediately jumped up.

"Grandpa Huang, my grandson will never marry Helan Mingyue and Li Shuang'er!" Tuoba's tone did not hesitate.

Tuoba Tao said in a deliberative tone: "Son, this is your lifelong event, although Xianbei does not have the words of the matchmaker of his parents, after all, we have been sinicized for so long, and many rules and cultures have learned from the Han people." ”

"Grandpa Huang, my father was murdered, and the people behind the scenes have not been found out so far, and my grandson's heart hurts every day, and I really have no intention of talking about marriage at this moment." Tuoba was resolute.

Tuoba Tao looked at Tuoba and sighed secretly when he saw him so resolute.

After a while, he said: "This Shangyang County Lord and Dunqiu County Lord can't get into the eyes of your Gaoyang Wang's eldest grandson, and now the eldest princess of Liu Song Shanyin and Princess Yu Khotan Xianji are both in Great Wei, they are princesses after all, and they won't lose their face, you won't shirk anymore, right?" ”

"Whether it's a princess or a county lord, I don't want to talk about marriage now." Tuoba's face was cold, "Everything, after my father's filial piety, I will think about the big wedding at that time." ”

“…… You've even rejected the princess now? Tuoba Tao couldn't help but be annoyed: "What kind of woman are you willing to marry?" ”

"Grandpa Huang, my son really hopes to marry a princess who will captivate the country and the city, but it is by no means the princess of Liu Song and Khotan." Tuoba Road.

Tuoba Tao shook his head silently and said, "Then you should tell the imperial grandfather, what kind of princess do you want to marry?" ”

Tuoba's lips squirmed, and several times, when the words came to his lips, he almost said that he had married Allure.

After all, I felt that at the time of marrying Allure, she was still the doll of the Eighth Emperor Uncle, and Allure finally broke off the marriage contract with the Eighth Emperor Uncle now, and the imperial grandfather had a heavenly will bet with Allure, saying it at this time would only make the imperial grandfather and the Eighth Emperor Uncle angry.

At that time, there will be no wind and waves, and the road to happiness for himself and Allure will be even more difficult.

I can only wait for a little longer, and I can also hold a big wedding after my filial piety, and then tell the original story, which should be a matter of course at that time.

"Grandpa Huang should know that more than ten years ago, her son already had a place in her heart, and she was the princess who captivated the country and the city in her heart." Tuoba said sullenly.

“…… That little girl? Tuoba Tao asked a little stunned, then shook his head and laughed: "I didn't expect that my son is really an infatuated species, didn't that girl never find it?" ”

Tuoba opened his mouth, wanting to say that the girl was Allure.

But now once she makes her relationship with Allure public, she will definitely be killed.

Not to mention that the imperial grandfather and the eighth imperial uncle will be angry, the people behind the scenes are ruthless, even his father has been poisoned, even if it is a 1 in 10,000 chance, he must not let Allure take risks.

And there is also that Taiyi Zhenren and the high priest, who are also eyeing in the dark, and at this moment he wants to hide the identity of Allure.

Anyway, he can't get married yet, even if the sky falls, he has to protect the safety of Allure.

Tuoba pondered for a long time and then said:

"Now I just want to open up territory for the Great Wei and find out who framed my father behind the scenes. Then find out the person who has been chasing and killing his grandson.

The person behind the curtain will not be eliminated for a day, and the grandson will have no peace of mind, let alone marriage! ”

Tuoba sighed heavily:

"If you can't find that girl in your life, or if you can never find the person who harmed your father, will you never marry a concubine and have children for the rest of your life?

There is no conflict between tracking down the death of your father and your concubine and having a child? ”

"Liu Song is a wolf, and he wants to get rid of his grandson, so that the emperor's grandfather has one less arm, and his heart can be punished!" Tuoba said coldly, "Don't say that Liu Jun will marry his daughter to me, even if he marries his wife to me, my son will not care about it!" ”

"Then the princess of Khotan, there is no gap with you, right?" Tuoba Tao asked again, "Although Khotan is a little younger, but after all, she is a princess, and she finally did not insult the eldest grandson of our Great Wei Emperor?" ”

Tuoba still shook his head and said categorically: "In short, the father's filial piety is not yet complete, and the son will never talk about marriage!" ”

Seeing that Tuoba had made up his mind, Tuoba Tao was helpless.

Shaking his head and sighing: "Grandpa Huang looks at you, but he can't forget that little girl at the beginning!" ”

Tuoba Tao saw that he didn't like these princesses, and thought in his heart that if he promised Princess Khotan to Yu'er, his mind would not be on Allure.

In this way, even if he seals Allure as a concubine in the future, there will be no gap between Yu'er and him, father and son.

So he nodded and said dotingly:

"Anyway, the emperor's mood, the imperial grandfather also understands, after all, you still have to keep the filial piety system.

Now even if you choose a princess, it's just a title, everything depends on you, and it will be decided after filial piety. ”

"Grandpa Xie Huang!" Tuoba finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Okay, you go to Yuxiu Palace now." Tuoba Tao said again.

“…… Yuxiu Palace? Tuoba was a little stunned.

Tuoba Tao Road:

"Oh, that's right, there are tens of millions of donations raised by Allure, and I want to give half of it to the victims of the Yellow River flood, and I don't worry about letting the officials of the imperial court go to the disaster relief, for fear of being exploited by the officials.

Although the new people released made up the majority in the capital, there were also a small number of new people throughout the country.

Allure means that resettlement sites should also be set up in places where new people gather in various places, so that they can spend their days of temporary homelessness.

I hope you will send a trustworthy general to escort the money to disaster relief and set up a settlement.

The money is kept by Feng Zuo Zhaoyi, you go and contact her. ”

"Okay, let's go to Yuxiu Palace first." Tuoba took his leave.

Out of the imperial study, I was about to leave, but I saw Taiyi Zhenren and the high priest come to the imperial study together to find the emperor.

Tuoba couldn't find an excuse to follow up, so he could only observe secretly and wait and see what happened.

Tuoba arrived at Yuxiu Palace, Gu Qingcheng had already gone to the Tai Hospital, and Feng Zuo Zhaoyi saw that Tuoba was coming, so he greeted him.

"It's good that my son is here, and I don't have to go to the palace to find you." Feng Zuo Zhaoyi said with a peaceful face.

"Niangniang, the emperor's grandfather said that there is a donation in Allure, and he wants to send someone to escort him to help the victims of the Yellow River floods?" Tuoba asked.

"Exactly." Feng Zuo Zhaoyi asked the palace people to move the money out, "Five or six million taels is a lot of money." ”

"Niangniang, I want to send the general to go and let him go through the experience, do you think it's okay?" Tuoba asked Feng Zuo Zhaoyi.

"My son loves the house and Wu, and the intentions are good, and this palace is grateful. However, escorting the donation is not trivial, and it is necessary to send a few more trustworthy and skilled generals to ensure that nothing goes wrong. Feng Zuo Zhaoyi instructed again.

"Don't worry, Niangniang, my son will arrange it properly." Tuoba Road.

Then let Zhan Ying and the others carefully transport the money back to the barracks, and he wanted to see why Taiyi Zhenren and the high priest entered the palace.

Taiyi Zhenren and the high priest went in, met the queen of the ceremony, and Tuoba Tao talked to them about the relocation of the imperial tomb.

"Your Majesty, the relocation of the imperial mausoleum is the cornerstone of today's merit and merit. The auspicious day of moving to Jin has been set for the twentieth day after the Mid-Autumn Festival, and now it is only waiting for the completion of the construction of the imperial mausoleum. "Taiyi is really humane.

Tuoba Tao said: "The Ministry of Industry is stepping up the construction of the imperial tomb, and now the weather is sunny and the progress of the project is fast, and it will never delay the auspicious day of the move." ”

"This is very good, when the time comes, Your Majesty will come to the new emperor's mausoleum to worship the heavens and ancestors, in order to show filial piety to the ancestors of heaven and earth." The High Priest arched his hand.

"Okay, I will come to worship the heavens and ancestors in person when the time comes." Tuoba Tao nodded again.

The emperor obeyed almost all their proposals.

Taiyi Zhenren and the High Priest glanced at each other inadvertently, and Taiyi Zhenren asked tentatively:

"May I ask Your Majesty, what do you think of the birthday banquet of the ancestors a few days ago, the hundred birds and butterflies offered their birthdays?"

“…… Why did the real person ask such a question? Tuoba Tao frowned slightly, and asked Taiyi Zhenren without doubt.

"According to the perception of the poor Qiankun Ding, the butterfly owner, the Lady of Ziwei, is afraid that he is in the palace at this moment." Taiyi Zhenren is playing tricks.

The high priest also spoke:

"Your Majesty, the county lord of Anping, who controls the phoenix bamboo kite and asks for the release of slaves, can actually drive a hundred birds and command butterflies.

Will she ...... Is that the butterfly we're looking for, Ziwei Nujun? ”

When Tuoba Tao heard this, he couldn't help but smile: "Hahaha......"

Taiyi Zhenren and the high priest looked at each other.

After Tuoba Tao smiled, he said slightly unhappily:

"The lord of Anping County can make a hundred birds to the phoenix because of her whimsical idea to set up a flute orchestra on the bamboo kite to attract white birds.

And the butterfly offered his life, but he wrote a longevity word on the silk silk with honey, and the butterfly liked honey and naturally offered his life.

Such a rare peaceful and prosperous elephant in ancient times, the two must not think wildly and desecrate the birthday of their ancestors. You can't be disrespectful to the county lord of Anping! ”

Taiyi Zhenren's face was slight, seeing that the emperor's maintenance of Gu Chengcheng was unquestionable, and there was nothing he could do for a while.

After a pause, Taiyi was truly humane: "But Your Majesty, if the Lord of Anping is the one who endangers the Great Wei River, but Your Majesty is kind enough to let it go, this is more than worth the loss!" ”

The high priest also did not hesitate and said: "Your Majesty has always preferred to kill the people who endanger the Great Wei Dynasty than let them go. How can Your Majesty tolerate those who endanger the society of the Great Wei River? ”

"You have real evidence, the county lord of Anping is the real body of the butterfly, Ziwei Female Monarch?!" Tuoba Tao said in annoyance.

“…… Or, we can catch her and try it. The high priest said with a cold expression.

"Catch it?" Tuoba Tao asked with his eyebrows gathered.

Taiyi Zhenren also narrowed his eyes, nodded and said: "As long as you arrest her, release her blood, and throw her into the Qiankun Ding, under the flames, whether that woman is Ziwei Nujun or not, you will know at a glance!" ”

Tuoba Tao patted the case and said angrily: "Ridiculous! Under torture, there is no grievance! If you are thrown into the Qiankun Ding and burned to ashes, will you still have a chance to avenge your grievances?! ”

Seeing that Tuoba Tao was defending the county lord of Anping like this, Taiyi Zhenren and the high priest looked at each other, feeling that it was contrary to his original purpose of killing mistakes and never letting go.

Taiyi Zhenren: "But Your Majesty, you would rather kill three thousand by mistake than let one go!" ”

"That's it! There is no need for the two of them to say any more. You suspect that the county lord of Anping is the one who endangers the Great Wei River, and I don't believe it anyway. The emperor's face had sunk.

Seeing that Taiyi Zhenren and the high priest were very worried on their faces, Tuoba Tao's tone was calmer again.

After a pause, he said: "If you really have any doubts, wait until you have real evidence and then tell me, before that, you must not hurt the county lord of Anping in the slightest!" ”

"Nuo......" Taiyi Zhenren and the high priest arched their hands together.

Seeing that the emperor was displeased, Taiyi Zhenren was afraid that the emperor would no longer believe in them since he was angry with him.

Taiyi Zhenren finally bowed slightly, and said against his will: "That hundred birds and butterflies offer their lives, it is indeed the whimsical ideas of the county lord of Anping and the king of Gaoyang, so there is this rare peaceful and prosperous elephant." Come to think of it, it was the poor Dao and the high priest who were too careful. ”

"Yes, even if we suspect someone, we must wait until we have real evidence, and then report it to Your Majesty." The high priest also smiled and did not smile.

The emperor's face gradually widened: "That's right, in the future, don't talk about these suspicious words casually, so as not to be listened to by people with a heart and make a fuss behind your back!" ”

"No, Your Majesty......" Taiyi Zhenren and the high priest had to obey the order.

After the two tested Tuoba Tao, they took their leave and left the Heart Cultivation Palace.

They walked up to the Star Picking Tower, took out the Qiankun Ding, and found that Ziqi was obviously in the palace, and the Ziwei Lady was definitely in the palace.

It's a pity that they failed to break through the ban on returning to the basics of the Taixu Zhenren, and they couldn't see who the female monarch was.

But they also estimated their age that the Anping County Lord was the most suspicious.

Just now, His Majesty looked like he couldn't offend the county lord of Anping, and at this moment the two of them had no conclusive evidence, and they didn't dare to go to the emperor to touch the nails again, so they could only find a way on their own.

The high priest and Taiyi Zhenren had a secret conversation in the Nine Heavens of the Star Picking Tower:

"Your Majesty has always been decisive in killing, and he would rather kill those who endanger the country and society, and will never let go.

Now that he is sheltering the Anping county lord like this, it seems that the Anping county lord is indeed not simple. ”

"Now that the poor road has not broken through the ban on senior brother's return to the basics, once we can find better help and break through the ban on returning to the basics, the holy aunt will definitely be exposed in front of our eyes." Taiyi Zhenren said stupidly.

Taiyi Zhenren and the high priest's faces were full of gloom, and they walked down the Star Picking Tower in vain.

Tuoba saw Taiyi Zhenren and the high priest snooping on the palace from a distance, and seemed to have found something, but he couldn't seem to be sure.

Could it be that they really found something? Tuoba's heart was even more uneasy.
