In Jun'an Temple, Emperor Tianwei sat on a soft couch.

Jin Guogong knelt in front of him, bowed his head and said nothing, and behind Jin Guogong, put a soft chair that could be used to lift people.

It is not difficult to see that Jin Guogong was carried by this soft chair.

"Mei Siyuan, the prince of Jinguo, has seen the emperor, and the emperor is safe." Jinguo's head was very low. The white hair on the top of his head appeared in front of Emperor Tianwei's eyes.

Emperor Tianwei personally helped Jin Guogong up.

Jin Guogong was flattered: "Your Majesty...... I can't afford it. ”

"Siyuan, we are kings and ministers on the surface, but in fact, in my heart, you are my brother. Look, you're only about forty years old, so why is your hair gray? In Emperor Tianwei's words, he couldn't hide his distress for Jin Guogong.

Jin Guogong said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the ministers have a lot of heart, and they always like to keep things in their hearts, and they can't figure it out." So this hair is a little whiter than normal. ”

"Your Majesty, the minister came this time to say goodbye to the emperor......" Jin Guogong said with a smile on his face, pretending to be relaxed.

"Resignation? Are you going to go far away? Emperor Tianwei answered: "With your body, if you want to go far away, I will never allow it." ”

Jin Guogong said with a smile: "The emperor has to allow it if he doesn't allow it, and I'm afraid that the minister's body won't be able to support it for long." Since the beginning of winter, my body has become heavier and heavier, and every day is not as good as ever. Your Majesty, I'm afraid that the ministers will not be able to be loyal to the Celestial Empire. ”

After Jin Guogong said this, tears were about to flow out of his eyes. Emperor Tianwei was also sad for a while.

"Don't be afraid, I will send you to the Tai Hospital, so that they can take a good look at you."

Jin Guogong shook his head: "Your Majesty, the imperial doctor has already seen it, and he said that he can't see it well." The minister came today, and there were three things to do. First, the minister wants to resign from you. In this second piece, the minister had nothing to do at home, and drew a small painting, wanting the emperor to give an inscription. The painting has been placed outside, and after the minister leaves, it is not too late for the emperor to look at it. Third, I heard that the fifth prince has returned to Beijing, and the minister has not seen the prince for many years, and he wants to see his face......"

Emperor Tianwei laughed: "You, you, sending paintings is a trivial matter, the real purpose, I'm afraid I want to meet the five princes......"

Jin Guogong nodded: "The emperor guessed the minister's heart." ”

"Okay, it's only right for my uncle to see my nephew. After a while, I gave a decree to the five princes, asking him to go to the Guogong Mansion tomorrow and stay for two days, and your uncle and nephew will talk for a while. ”

"Thank you for your grace." Jin Guogong kowtowed, thanked him, and talked to Emperor Tianwei for a while, and then he was carried away and returned to the Guogong Mansion.

After Jin Guogong left, Cao Gonggong's successor brought in the paintings sent by Jin Guogong. spread out in front of Emperor Tianwei.

This is by no means a small picture. The painting was more than a man tall. Spread out horizontally, it occupies most of the room. On top of the paintings, there are twists and turns, words and paintings, and it looks extremely complicated.

Emperor Tianwei only took a closer look, and he was surprised at that time. He instructed Gonggong Cao to bring the lamp and candle and looked at it seriously.

"Jin Guogong, what a good example, he actually sent me such a good painting." Emperor Tianwei's expression was obviously excited. "Xiao Caozi, bring a pen to ......"

Gonggong Cao handed over the pen, Emperor Tianwei waved on the painting, and the four big characters of "The Complete Map of the Heavenly Empire" jumped on the paper.

"Your Majesty, the Duke of Jin Guo actually gave the emperor such a good work." Father-in-law Cao looked at this picture and couldn't help but praise it.

But it turned out that what Jinguo Gong gave to Emperor Tianwei was not an ordinary painting. It is a map of the Celestial Empire, and the painting includes the mountains and rivers of the Celestial Empire, and it is the thinnest, most complete, and most refined map since the establishment of the Celestial Empire.

Such a map is like a treasure for the current Celestial Empire.

"Xiao Caozi, pass on my will, and crown the Duke of Jinguo as the Duke of Zhongjinguo, hereditary replacement. Zhongjin Guo enjoys the treatment of a product. The eldest son of the Duke of Feng Jin is a three-grade squire, and from tomorrow, let him go to the palace to discuss politics. ”

"Yes." Gonggong Cao accepted the order with a calm face, and then went down to run an errand.

Emperor Tianwei stood in front of the painting, refusing to move his body for a long time. With this map of Jin Guogong, the subsequent expansion of the Celestial Empire is just around the corner.

Inside Xiushui, Aunt Ying and a few girls were sorting out the gifts sent by the palaces. Dugu Dieyi and Yushu and a few other girls entered and were surrounded at that time.

"The three princesses, the queen mother, and several ladies from each palace have all sent rewards. You take a look......" Aunt Ying greeted her and handed over the gift list.

Inside the house, there are a lot of things. Dugu Dieyi then glanced at it.

The queen was really generous, and she sent two pairs of good green jade Ruyi alone. There are five pearls of the night, all kinds of ornaments, cloth, brocade, there are a bunch of them.

And Concubine Yue was not to be outdone, six sets of jade jewelry on the head were sent, and eight strings of coral beads were sent. A pearl necklace or something, there's a big basket.

Compared with Empress Sun and Concubine Yue, Concubine Min's things are slightly inferior. However, Concubine Min's things are not bad, a sandalwood piano, two calligraphy and paintings.

The mothers of other palaces also have rewards, but they are only superficial friendships. After all, there are only a few mothers who have given birth to sons in the palace.

"Princess, these things are all good things, in our Xixia Kingdom, slaves and maids have never seen them." Yuhuan approached, touched this, stroked that, and couldn't put it down.

Looking at Yuhuan's appearance, Yuping said: "Yuhuan, you just haven't seen the world, these things are all used by them to win over our princess, and they all wish that the princess would choose their own son." ”

Yuping's words, although they are not popular, are also reasonable. Aunt Ying didn't speak, she just looked at it and didn't say anything.

Dugu Dieyi waved her hand: "Aunt Ying, you order these things and put them in the warehouse, remember to put the gift list away." ”

Aunt Ying nodded and retreated, leading the girls of Xiushuiju to tidy up their things. In the house, only Yushu was left to accompany Dugu Dieyi.

"Princess, the ladies of each palace are so enthusiastic, which one you choose, you will offend people." Yushu opened her mouth and explained Dugu Dieyi's situation.

Dugu Dieyi nodded, it was true. "Sooner or later, you will offend people."

Outside the door, Yuqiu hurriedly came in. "Princess, princess, the five princes ask to meet."

As soon as she heard that Su Zimo was coming, Dugu Dieyi's face instantly turned red, and Yushu saw this situation, and immediately made the decision for Dugu Dieyi.

"Please speak to the inner chamber of the five princes."

After a while, Su Zimo led a eunuch into the inner room, and in the eunuch's hand, he brought a tray, and on the tray, a bowl of steaming porridge was placed.

The smell of porridge suddenly filled the room.

"The three princesses came all the way from Western Xia. I'm afraid that you won't adapt to the water and soil, so I made a bowl of porridge and asked the third princess to taste it. ”
