Chapter 213 seems to be a deal

The surprise in Emperor Tai'an's eyes flashed, and he thought that this girl was in a hurry to send the letter out, and she came out without answering. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 He laughed, "Then according to you, can you still select the available people for this exam?" ”

Zheng Qingluan's heart jumped, do you still want to invalidate this exam, this is not a good idea. She muttered, "The wind knows the grass, and the board knows the Chengchen." The more chaotic the moment, the more clearly we can see people's hearts. Presumably, people who answer this question well, no matter what their knowledge, at least have a clear heart. The test that can discern the hearts of others has never been encountered since ancient times. It is said that blessings and misfortunes depend on each other, and there are blessings in disasters. Please Emperor Mingjian. ”

That's right, students who can see the problem are by no means nerds. If you can participate in the autumn festival, you must be a person who has been selected for the exam. In fact, as long as you can do things and be transparent in the world, learning is not the most important thing. There are so many champions in ancient times, but there are few people who can really become famous ministers and capable ministers, which is enough to prove the importance of ability.

Emperor Tai'an sighed in his heart, if this girl was not a woman, she had the potential to become a minister. He smiled and nodded, "The wind knows that the grass is good, and the court is really raging in the wind today." So, what kind of grass are you? This is the attitude of asking Xiao Yunfeng in disguise.

"Uncle Cao, this is too much of a nephew. The nephew himself still thinks that he should be a pillar of the tree anyway. How can it be that in the eyes of his uncle, his nephew has become grass swaying in the wind" Xiao Yunfeng glanced at Zheng Qingluan and complained to Emperor Tai'an.

"From the small thorns in the deep grass, now I gradually feel the basil. At that time, people didn't know Lingyun Mu, and they waited until Lingyun was high. Zheng Qingluan said softly.

This is a poem by Du Xunhe, a man of the Tang Dynasty, written by Komatsu. It means that when this little pine was small, it grew in deep grass and could not be seen when it was buried in grass. When I saw it, I found that it was much taller than those basils. Those people didn't know Komatsu at the time, and they didn't know that he was a tree that could reach into the sky. It wasn't until it towered into the sky that people suddenly realized that it was really tall.

The little poem that Zheng Qingluan chanted was written by borrowing pine, and this person was, of course, Xiao Yunfeng. This is to tell Emperor Tai'an, don't treat Xiao Yunfeng, a pine tree, as a basil all over the ground. Sooner or later, he will rise to the top. It's not something that a nest of grass can cover up.

Pine is what pine is, it is a heroic warrior among the trees. Even if you count nine cold days, the grass withers, and the trees wither, you can still be green and cloudy, resist the wind and snow, and be calm.

Emperor Tai'an's eyes narrowed, and his pupils shrank sharply. What a lot of ambition

He laughed twice, but his eyes were sharp when he looked at Zheng Qingluan, "Pine can be towering into the clouds, straight up to the nine skies."

Zheng Qingluan ignored Emperor Tai'an's gaze, "The Holy Lord likes to look up and look away. The little girl prefers to keep her head down. The tree is 1,000 feet tall, proving that it is deeply rooted. No wind can make waves in front of it. Therefore, the little girl prefers the tree that cannot be shaken to the swaying grass. ”

Emperor Tai'an rubbed the teacup in his hand, and his drooping eyelids could not see joy or anger. "Your tree is rooted in the northwest, so let it grow in the northwest. ”

Xiao Yunfeng raised his eyebrows, the meaning of these words is rich, this is to let the Xiao family contribute to this incident, and want to cede the northwest to the Xiao family.

In exchange for the ownership of the Northwest and the support of the Xiao family, this is the condition proposed by Emperor Tai'an. He knew that at this time, Xiao Yunfeng was not the Xiao Yunfeng who proposed to reform the Xiao family army. Because he gave him a respite and let Zheng Qingluan go to the northwest, it was like letting the tiger return to the mountain, so that the tiger could recover its vitality. It's ironic.

I have to say that the conditions are tempting

Xiao Yunfeng smiled, "What does my uncle say, what does my nephew do" He was not moved by this condition, but the current Emperor Tai'an also needed to be appeased. He agreed to this condition, and Emperor Tai'an would be at ease with the Xiao family. Because the Xiao family has already gotten the northwest they want, on the contrary, if the Xiao family does not accept it, they will be classified as ill-intentioned by Emperor Tai'an. An emperor will never be soft on those who covet his throne. Not even a son, let alone a nephew. It just so happened that he also had many plans, which could also be completed with the help of the emperor's hand. Why not

Emperor Tai'an glanced at Xiao Yunfeng with a smile, and then at Zheng Qingluan, as if to say, do you deserve to be a family.

Xiao Yunfeng glanced at Zheng Qingluan and asked in a low voice, "Luan'er, what do you think?" ”

Zheng Qingluan smiled shyly at Emperor Tai'an, "The little girl still has one more thing, I hope Your Majesty will approve it." ”

As soon as Zheng Qingluan's voice fell, Emperor Tai'an breathed a sigh of relief. To say that in such a chaotic situation, the Xiao family is really on his side, and they don't want to profit from it at all. He won't believe it if he is killed. As soon as the northwest took it out, Xiao Yunfeng agreed, which was also expected by him. Heaven gives the Buddha to take, but suffers the blame; When it doesn't work, it suffers. This truth, Xiao Yunfeng knows better than anyone else that it is too easy to accept, which makes him inevitably muttered in his heart. Is he really just going to want something about it? Now that Zheng Qingluan has put forward the conditions again, he has the idea that this is right.

Xiao Yunfeng lowered his eyelids and smiled secretly in his heart. If you want to say that you can observe words and emotions and figure out people's hearts, there are few people who are stronger than this girl. I'm afraid that this will reassure the emperor even more.

Just listened to Zheng Qingluan, "The little girl doesn't ask for anything else." I just hope that the emperor will allow the little girl's family to return to her hometown to raise this year's rice planting, which has already achieved initial results. There is an experimental field with rice yields on par with those in the south. It can be said that it has been successful. Next year, we will plant a large area, and once it is successful, I ask Your Majesty to allow my father to return to his hometown in the northwest to enjoy his old age in peace. ”

That's right

Emperor Tai'an nodded secretly. In addition to the northwest, the most important thing is the hostage, Jiang Yang is his own sister, and safety is not a problem at all. But the Zheng family is unstable in the capital. Naturally, it has to be placed in the northwest, and the territory of the Xiao family can only do it, and Zheng Qingluan is very measured, first said that the northern rice planting is successful, and once it is successful, the Zheng family will have merit and social success, and merit and the world. It is obviously inappropriate to want to use them as hostages. Then it doesn't make much sense for them to stay in the capital. Later, it was mentioned that allowing him to return to his hometown after the autumn harvest next year is a disguised admission that before the capital is stable, the Zheng family is still a hostage, and if the Xiao family cannot fulfill the contract, these people will be left to their disposal

Very sincere offer

For the first time, Emperor Tai'an felt that Zheng Qingluan was still very particular about doing things.

He smiled, "Grant you what you want."

Zheng Qingluan thanked him before getting up.

The deal was struck and the two withdrew. Liu Xinshou and Guo Feiyan have always had a poker face, in fact, their hearts have already rolled over, and they have been shouting in their hearts that the northwest is ours This time they came out, and both of them couldn't bear to want to speak, and they were glared at by Zheng Qingluan, and only then did they recover their facial paralysis faces. It is somewhat similar to Xiao Yunfeng. Zheng Qingluan was a little speechless, and people thought that Xiao Jiajun was rich in this kind of face, and I didn't know who they learned it from.

Out of the palace, Xiao Da Xiao Er greeted him, "Master, there are countless people who inquire"

"Don't bother to go home," Xiao Yunfeng motioned for Zheng Qingluan to get on the horse. Then, without delay, the group rushed home.

East Palace.

"Are you out of the palace?" the prince asked in a low voice as he closed the book in his hand.

"Out of the palace" The little eunuch lowered his head and replied. Then he said, "The little one wanted to find Mama Yun just now, but I didn't see anyone." I had to disturb His Highness. ”

Mama Yun is the princess of Duanyun in the previous dynasty.

The prince frowned, "I know, you go down first." ”

When has this been, how dare this woman run around the palace. He got up and went to the palace of the crown princess, and he had to ask about the whereabouts of this woman, otherwise he would miss the horse and implicate him, and the question would not be simple.

It was dark all around, and this was Princess Duanyun's first reaction. Immediately afterwards, she felt that her body was like being in an ice cellar, and the cold went straight to the marrow of people, and she secretly screamed that she was in prison now, which made her sober in an instant, she was plotted by someone, but she didn't know who the person behind it was. Another person who covets the power in her hands Duanyun sneered and sneered at what defense there is one more collaborator, as long as he can get out, there are no conditions that cannot be said.

She raised her voice and said, "Come on, ask your master to come over, don't hide your head and tail, don't dare to see people alive, dare to act, want to get something from me, even if you open your mouth"

"You know the times," there was a coldness in his voice.

This is a woman's voice, melodious, but it made Duanyun's heart fall from the clouds in an instant, this woman's voice she has heard, who this woman is, she also knows

Emperor Tai'an's sister-in-law, Song Mingzhu, the eldest princess of Jiangyang.

She also has another identity, that is, Xiao Pengfei's wife

What's more, she is Xiao Yunfeng's mother

All three of these identities made her feel jealous and even afraid

Thinking of the child who was tortured by herself back then, Duanyun knew that her days might come to an end

The room slowly lit up, and Duanyun opened his eyes. This is really an ice cellar, and I am lying naked on the ice bed at the moment. No wonder it's so cold

On the stool next to her, there was a woman dressed in hair, her face was beautiful, she seemed to be not eating the fireworks of the world, and her heart couldn't help hating the man, and she loved the woman in front of her until she died

Why

This woman is a princess herself, and she is a princess, who is more noble than whom

She can have a man who loves him, why can't she have it

As a woman, I have to admit that the woman in front of me is a beauty, but she is also a natural stunner

Is it really not as good as the woman in front of you?

No, no, no

What really can't be compared is power

Who made her just a princess of a dead country?
