Chapter Seventy-One: Waiting
Hearing that Xia Guifei Nan Xuebai couldn't help but wrinkle her eyebrows, after all, she felt sorry for that woman. Thinking about it carefully, in fact, what Xia Liuruo did was just to be with his beloved, and even did not hesitate to use his own heart and soul for this.
Nan Xuebai didn't know what kind of thoughts she had for Xia Guifei, but she was not hostile after all. Especially at the moment when she saw her body. The proud daughter of heaven who was once favored by thousands of people died in a small inn.
And there are still no dead bodies.
With a wave of her hand, Yue Shen looked at her with a complicated look in her eyes and stepped back.
At the beginning of the new year, Nan Xuebai followed the Wenqing year name and promulgated a new law, it is better to give a man a fish than to give a man a fish, because she did not reduce her forced labor, but used other methods. The people praised the Tang Prime Minister above the court, from the initial unavoidable to get on the thief ship, to the last willing to call Nan Xuebai His Majesty.
Some things just happen so inexplicably. When Nan Xuebai was first brought back to the palace by Wan Qian, he didn't expect that one day he would become the Ninth Five-Year Supreme. Everything came so easily.
On the seventh day of the ninth year of Wenqing, there was a dispute in the court, the reason was that tomorrow the desert and Dongming both came to the envoy, and Nan Xuebai, as the empress, should go to the city gate to greet him in person. Tang Hua thought that he should not hold the emperor's shelf, and let the people see that their new emperor was not the kind of person who was on top.
There are also some courtiers who think that Nan Xuebai, as the empress, will inevitably damage the face of Great Xia if she goes to greet the envoys, after all, when the emperor goes to greet them, it will make them feel that the new emperor of Great Xia is afraid of them.
Nan Xuebai had a headache, and finally raised his voice, "When I first ascended the throne, I really shouldn't have taken the emperor's shelf, and the ministers should have been entertained when they came from afar, so I followed Tang Lao's words and gave them enough face." ”
Therefore, on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, Nan Xuebai led a group of courtiers to stand at the gate of the city to greet the envoys of Da Mo and Dongming.
It was noon, and fine and dense cold sweat also oozed from Tang Hua's head, and his worried eyes fell on Nan Xuebai's back. The first to be impatient were the people, whose new emperor had just ascended the throne, and although they were women, they still did not lose to men.
She did not exempt herself from forced labor, but only opened the granary, released grain and seeds every year, and recorded how much grain each household received, and handed in the grain in the next year. And opened an exclusive granary, where the people's inexhaustible grain could be placed in the granary, just like a money village.
It is fair and just to punish most of the corrupt officials in the DPRK and China, and to personally conduct the imperial examination and ask questions on the spot.
Now the envoys of this desert and Dongming obviously arrived at the post station yesterday and said that they would enter the palace early in the morning, but the new emperor stood at the gate of the city for a morning. Isn't this giving their emperor a disgrace?
Tang Hua didn't expect those envoys to be so embarrassed, and the new emperor came to pick it up in person, and he was still holding the shelf. looked at Nan Xuebai in a cold sweat, in the end it was his negligence.
Nan Xuebai is calm. The people had guessed that those people were giving her another assault, how could she not know? But there was no emotion waiting. Tang Hua knew in his heart that there was some trouble at this time, if he behaved too softly. The soft people will feel that the new emperor is very weak, and they must have lost confidence in the future of Great Xia.
However, if it is too tough, it will be even more harmful to the diplomatic relations of several countries. I don't know what to say at this time.
"Your Majesty, why don't you go back to the palace first, and wait here?"
Nan Xuebai thought about it for a while, turned around, and chuckled at Tang Hua, "Old Tang, you first take the ministers back to the palace to prepare for tonight's banquet, and I will personally wait for them here." ”
Tang Hua was stunned, "Your Majesty, why don't you wait here, Your Majesty will take the ministers back to the palace?" ”
Although he knew that Nan Xuebai was a smart person, whether it was Dongming or the envoys sent by the desert, they were not idle people. The envoy of the desert came to the second prince, Wan Qihan, who was a sinister and cunning lord, and in Tang Hua's words, it was most appropriate to use a smiling fox. With a smile on his face, he is good at stabbing knives in the back.
And the fourth prince of Dongming, Tang Hua had dealt with him, and he felt that person was unfathomable.
"The second prince of the desert and the fourth prince of Dongming, presumably this time it was discussed, to give His Majesty a dismount, if Your Majesty waits for a long time, I am afraid that the people will feel that my new emperor of Daxia is weak and incompetent."
Tang Hua also dared to say that the court and the central government are all new ministers now, and all of them are enthusiastic and talented people, but now seeing that Prime Minister Tang dares to say it, His Majesty just smiled.
"That's why I let you go back to the court, and let Master Gu stay and protect the palace..." Nan Xuebai realized that she was talking bald, and immediately laughed a little embarrassed, "Protect me." ”
Tang Hua looked at Nan Xuebai in puzzlement, but then he suddenly realized, and bowed down to lead the ministers. went.
In front of the city gate, only Nan Xuebai and Gu Yunsheng remained, "Niangniang, if you wait like this, I'm afraid you will have to wait until late at night." Gu Yunsheng kindly reminded.
Nan Xuebai sneered, "Wait? Since they don't care about the diplomatic relations between the two countries, why should I care? Give them face, they don't want it, so why should we care about their face? Then he shouted at the people, "Everyone, how about we play a game today?" ”
"There are no emperors, no people, only equal friends. Shall I give you a question? Let them also let their envoys see that there are many capable people in our Great Xia. ”
Although the people didn't know what the new emperor would think again, it was not good to save the new emperor's face, but they were already faintly disappointed in their hearts. Thinking about the game at this juncture? How not to disappoint? After identifying the woman as the enthronement, she is really inferior to a man.
Gu Yunsheng looked at Nan Xuebai puzzled, "Can you go and borrow some chairs and stools from the surrounding people?" Let the people and soldiers sit down. ”
Gu Yunsheng received the order and told the accompanying soldiers, although the soldiers did not like Nan Xuebai, they obeyed Gu Yunsheng's orders. In a short time, the people sat on the stools, but the soldiers brought in the stools, but there was one less stool. Gu Yunsheng is a big man, and he is not a fart. He sat down and placed it behind Nan Xuebai.
He knew that the soldiers were deliberate, after all, when a woman ascended the throne, their face was really lost. I think that Xiahou Xiu was not more than ten years old back then, but he also made the envoys of various countries submit to him.
Look at this Nan Xuebai again, they have waited here for so long. I don't like her even more.
Nan Xue saw that the people were all sitting down, and she also smiled, but when she saw Gu Yunsheng standing, she felt funny at the moment. This stool is no more, no less, just one less. immediately moved to Gu Yunsheng's side in person. quipped, "General Gu has worked hard, let's rest for a while." ”
The people were dumbfounded, and a few wanted to give up their stools, but Nan Xuebai stopped them.
"Then let's start the game." She had a malicious smile on her face. "How to describe a man who has no grace?"
Gu Yunsheng smiled, and then took the lead and answered Nan Xuebai's question.
