Chapter 7: A Visit from Northern Qi

The Imperial Palace, the Imperial Palace.

"There is a book, but there is no book to retreat~" Bu Yue said.

"Your Majesty, Donglin has been at war with Northern Qi for several months, General Qi defeated Northern Qi, and the king of Northern Qi handed over a letter of surrender last month, and he will come to visit with tribute this month." Qin Xiangye returned with a wat bow in both hands.

"Hahaha, General Qi is the pillar of the country! Wait for the general's class to return to the court! I've got a reward! Murong Ji's tone was very pleasant. He also said: "This matter of the Northern Qi visit, the prince, the king of Chen, the king of Rui, Lao Jiu, what do you think?"

Murong Xun said: "Father Qi, Northern Qi is a nomadic people, and what he likes is definitely not poetry and songs, silk and bamboo orchestras. I have always had the custom of going to the Xishan enclosure to hunt in the autumn in the east, and my sons thought that it would be enough to arrange all the reception matters in the Xishan enclosure. ”

"Well, what the prince said is very true, then this matter will be left to you!" Murong Ji said.

"Father, the son is afraid to disappoint the father, the queen mother in recent years to concentrate on the Emei Mountain Buddha, the son can not always accompany the mother around, the heart is very guilty, every summer, when the autumn wind blows, the son will personally send some clothes and quilts for the mother to show filial piety, so I hope that the father and the emperor are looking for another talent." Murong Xun shirked.

"Then which Aiqing is willing to take charge of this?" Murong Ji asked.

Murong Xun glanced back inadvertently, and Zuo Xiang Liu Zhang understood.

"Your Majesty, I think that His Royal Highness King Chen has always had a stable personality and a careful mind, and he is up to this great task!" Liu Zhang said.

"Liu Qing is reasonable, King Chen, do you have any objections?" Murong Ji asked.

"There is no objection to the son." Murong Che replied.

Anwangfu.

"The holy decree has arrived~" said the eunuch of the decree.

"Miss, the princess and the princess are not in the house, you go to receive the order." Gu Yun said.

Gu Sijun knelt on the ground with the crowd of people from King An's Mansion: "The courtiers take the order."

Fengtian carried the emperor, and the edict said, "I only rule the world with literature, and fight chaos with force!" Now in the east of the prosperous era of Wentao, I am very relieved,

In order to exhort me to the east of the Ying Tongwen good martial arts, in the 15th of July in the West Mountain enclosure hunting, because King An, Princess An, King An is not in Kyoto, and the lord of Changping County is a female stream, specially accompanied by King Chen, Qin this ~. ”

"Thank you, Lord Ronne! My emperor is happy and healthy! ”

Gu Sijun held the holy decree in his hand, today is the tenth day of the seventh month, and there are still five days to go......

"Brother Gu Yun, how far is this Chenwang Mansion from our An Wangfu?" Gu Sijun asked.

"Not far, after the street in front of the door, bypass the Qinser Pavilion, and then walk along the Linjue River until you reach the Chenwang Mansion." Gu Yun replied.

"Got it, thank you Brother Gu Yun~"

"Miss, what are you going to do in King Chen's Mansion?"

"Oh, didn't you say that I want to go with the people on the trip to the West Mountain, ask how and the accompanying method, whether the people come to our house to pick us up or we go to wait, by the way, do you know what to prepare?"

"I really don't know about this, in previous years, the prince and princess didn't go when the holy decree came, and the prince occasionally went to the Lin Mansion, so I really didn't prepare, you went to the Chenwang Mansion and asked."

"Can I not go, then?"

"But this holy decree is clearly for you to go, and if you don't go, you will resist the decree......"

"Forget it, I'd better go."

After speaking, I heard that Yuyuan took the embroidered satchel and went out.

Along the way, you will arrive at the Chenwang Mansion.

The entrance of King Chen's mansion

"Who? Have you ever bowed down? "The doorway guarded.

Gu Sijun lowered his head and took out the house card: "Gu Sijun of Anwang's Mansion."

"It turned out to be the county lord of Changping, please come in quickly." Guarding the Road.

Gu Sijun put away the house card, entered the courtyard, saw a man in an ink-colored round-necked robe, and asked, "This big brother!" May I ask where King Chen is in the mansion, I am Gu Sijun from King An's mansion, and I have something to see you. ”

That person was Murong Che accompanying He Chuan, and He Chuan asked, "Dare to ask the Lord of Changping County what is the matter with the prince?"

"Oh, just now the holy decree came from the palace and said that this Xishan hunt wants me to go with your prince, let me ask what I need to prepare?" Gu Sijun replied

"I see, then the county lord will come with me." He Chuan's tone was soft, and Gu Sijun's unscrupulous personality added a little favor to her.

Murong Che's study.

"Qi Shaonan, what do you think of this previous hunt?" Murong Che sat on the main seat.

"Lord Wang, I think the prince should want to do something, usually he doesn't rush to show in front of the emperor for this kind of thing, why did he let his father-in-law push it to you this time?" Qi Shaonan fiddled with the sword spikes on Murong Che's sword stand.

"I mean, how to arrange, you always answer the wrong questions." Murong Che didn't know what he was writing with a brush.

"Since the place has been set in the Xishan enclosure, the hunting rules are nothing more than the old ones, the trouble is the trouble in the reception of the Northern Qi, my father wrote a letter to say, this time the king of the Northern Qi, the princess and the prince also came seven or eight, although they are our subordinates defeated, but after all, we can't miss the number of courtesies, or spread out that our reputation in the east is not good, but it is received in the paddock, in the wilderness, in addition to the bald mountain is the bald mountain, hunting wild game Northern Qi people must be better than our experts...... No matter what, it's all a sad person......" Qi Shaonan slumped in his chair.

"In the past, those who received foreign guests moved to the paddock as they were, and the etiquette was natural and thoughtful, but in the end, there was only one bright spot missing." Liuyun said lightly.

"Have you ever played drumming and passing flowers?" Gu Sijun interjected suddenly. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry to disturb~ I'm here to find Murong Che~ I accidentally heard you discussing this matter.

"Lord Wang, the county lord of Changping said that he came to ask about your hunting, and He Chuan brought her in." He Chuan arched his hand.

"Sit down, county lord, Ling Zhi, watch tea." Murong Che said lightly.

"Yes." Just listen to the soft voice outside the door.

Not long after, a woman about seventeen or eighteen years old walked in, saw Gu Sijun stunned for a moment, and then brought the tea to Gu Sijun: "Please use it."

Gu Sijun just met her eyes, and there seemed to be a smile on the corner of her mouth, I am afraid that in the days to come, there will be a plane tree at home, and the phoenix sparrow will perch.

"Dare to ask the county lord what is the drum and pass the flowers?" Liuyun asked.

Gu Sijun looked at Liuyun when he heard the voice, this person was so familiar, and said, "This son looks so familiar......

Liuyun and Murong Che glanced at each other elusively, and said with a smile: "I think about the time I went to King An's Mansion and was seen by the county lord, I was fortunate to remember it." The county lord has not yet answered the villain's question, what is the drum and passing the flowers? ”

"Oh, drumming and passing tweeds, that is, several or dozens of people sit in a circle, and one of them holds a flower ball; Another person beats the drum behind their backs or blindfolded, and when the drum sounds, the crowd begins to spread flowers in turn until the drum stops. At this time, whoever spends it in his hands will go on stage to perform a program, sing, dance, or draw paper; Occasionally, if the flower is in the hands of two people, the two can decide the loser by guessing the fist or other means, so that everyone can participate, and the hand of the flower is random, and no one will be lifted up, and no one will be left out in the cold. Gu Sijun replied.
