Chapter 164: Family Affairs, State Affairs, and World Affairs (I)
After giving the string of phoenix-eyed bodhi seeds to Lin Yinping, it was natural to coax Her Royal Highness the princess to "Fengyan Dayue", as for the string of star-and-moon bodhi, Xiao Yu handed it over to Qiuye to send it on his behalf.
After the warmth, Xiao Yu began to prepare for the matter of meeting the real person in charge.
Although Qiu Ye has made it clear that the real person in charge of teaching is not a person who pays attention to pomp and circumstance, and he was alone when he went to the Ye family, but the real person in charge of teaching is not his business, and whether he does it or not is Xiao Yu's own business. Therefore, Xiao Yu still sent people to thoroughly sort out the palace, especially the four pavilions of Xiaoxiang Mountain, such as Linfeng, Yingfeng, Tingfeng, and Lingfeng, which are the most important things.
Of course, Xiao Yu didn't need to handle the specific matters, he just ordered to go down, Lin Yinping stayed by his side and asked, "What do you say the real person is doing here?"
Xiao Yu said disapprovingly: "We can start in the northwest, the Taoist sect is bloody, as the head of the Taoist sect, naturally we want to come to the northwest to have a look, just like doing business, we can only open this store with the money of the Taoist sect, we are the shopkeeper, the Taoist sect is the owner, this time the owner wants to see how the shopkeeper takes care of the business." If it's well managed, give some benefits, and if it's not good, beat it, and that's probably the case. ”
Lin Yinping continued to ask with interest: "Then do you think you are doing well or not?"
After thinking seriously for a while, Xiao Yu gave a very general reply: "It's okay." ”
The palace is very large, after all, it was built according to the specifications of the proprietor's palace, although it is not as good as the imperial city of the eastern capital, but it is more than twice as large as the ordinary palace. It was only later that it became increasingly deserted, and it was not until Xiao Yu entered the capital that it began to be renovated, but after more than half a year of continuous repair, it was only about half of the overall progress, so Xiao Yu and Lin Yinping had never been to many places in the palace.
Just like the small lake at the feet of Xiao Yu and Lin Yinping, it had just been cleaned up of the silt and led the water into the house with a talisman array, and some Taoist disciples forcibly ripen the lotus flowers in the lake with Taoism, which complemented the lush Xiaoxiang Mountain not far away.
At this time, the two of them sat on the pavilion in the middle of the lake, the ground under their feet was not stone or gold, but made of transparent glass, looking down, it could be seen that the swimming fish were wandering in groups, and the Dao Pavilion in the Tianchi of the Taoist Sect was the same.
Lin Yinping leaned on Xiao Yu, looked up at the top of the pavilion, and happened to see a small and elegant mandarin duck playing in the water painted on the top of the pavilion.
Today's Lin Yinping can finally take off the heavy fur that has accompanied her for a long time, and put on a plain and elegant clothes, unlike Xiao Yu, who likes Shu brocade, Lin Yinping prefers lake silk and satin, from the coat to the Luo skirt, and then to the embroidered shoes, all of which are made by the Tianyi Workshop, which is known as the first silk village in Jiangdu, and a small pendant is purchased from the eastern capital such as Bao Zhai, as for the winter clothes mink fur, most of them are Suxuezhuang in the northern capital.
Speaking of clothes, Lin Yinping was very interested, and he also ordered two narrow-sleeved brocade robes and white-feathered cranes that were the most popular in Jiangnan this year, and then talked about Rong Xiuzhai's rouge, what Tsing Yi Fang's shawl, and what embroidered shoes made by Mrs. Sun of Biquan Zhuang herself, Xiao Yu was at a loss when he heard it, what are these shops for, he can know a little from the name, but when it comes to his daughter's clothes, embroidered shoes, and pendant decoration, Xiao Yu is a little blind.
Xiao Lie hasn't taught this thing.
Xiao Yu could only bite the bullet and perfunctory, but fortunately, Lin Yinping didn't let him express his opinions, but just regarded him purely as an audience, as if he wanted to say all the words that had been accumulated for so many days.
Fortunately, it didn't take long for Moshu to relieve Xiao Yu, and reported that all the adults had arrived, and asked the prince to move to the main hall.
Although Lin Yinping was a little reluctant, he could also distinguish the severity, but he just said to Xiao Yu I will go back first, and then left first, Xiao Yu was quite a little like being amnestied, and turned to the main hall.
This main hall or can already be called the council hall, except that the scale is slightly inferior, its specifications are completely in accordance with the imperial palace of the eastern capital of the imperial city to imitate, this is the place of discussion when the owner of the west expedition to the grassland, but with the death of the owner, the palace is abandoned, here has not been so lively for hundreds of years.
In addition to the two main seats at the top, there are two rows of rosewood chairs on the left and right, and because the number of civil and military forces is extremely unbalanced at present, it is not arranged according to the tradition of civil and military left, but according to official positions. So much so that the left side has become the all-left governor, and the right side has become the all-right governor.
The first person on the left hand side was Xu Lin, the unyielding Metropolitan Governor, and sitting opposite Xu Lin was Lan Yu, the young master of Tianji Pavilion, who was cited by Xiao Yu as his right-hand man. The second person on the left is the central capital left governor Min Xing, who was born in the Eastern Capital family, and sitting opposite him is Lin Han, the right governor of the central capital, who has risen all the way through his sister's east wind.
Later, there were Zhuge Gong, Li Chen, Chen Han, Qu Cang and other civil and military generals.
The atmosphere in the hall was a little cold, although most of the people present were martial artists, but they also paid attention to a step-by-step, insurmountable, the battle between the northwest and the grassland would not get out of control under Xiao Yu's control, but in private, they would not get along. At present, the grassland faction has been seriously damaged in this grassland rebellion, and now there is only one Lin Han left who can speak in the capital, and Lin Han was also divided by Xiao Yu, and 6,000 of the 60,000 pro-army were divided into 6,000 of the most elite people, if it weren't for Lin Yinping's condition improving, I'm afraid Lin Han's position as governor would have been crumbling.
Lin Han also saw the opportunity quickly, and decisively switched to the court, and threw himself into the Lanyu faction, which has always remained neutral, although it cannot be said that he can compete with Xu Lin's court, but he is safe.
At this time, Lin Han's hands were pressed on the handle of the scimitar at his waist, and his eyes looked around casually.
Zhuge Gong is the first person to follow Xiao Yu, after two years of immersion in this officialdom, it is rare to be rampant without ambition, and he has not been born half arrogant, and now he has been promoted to the commander of the tiger camp by the light and the dark, although it seems that he has been demoted from the right governor of the second product to the commander of the third product, but the commander of the tiger camp is more eye-catching than the left governor of the first product. After all, there are too many examples of the close henchmen around the monarch who ascended to the sky in one step after being released.
When Lin Han's careless gaze finally wandered to Zhuge Gong, he immediately returned with a smile.
It's just that he didn't expect Lin Han to snort expressionlessly, and then looked away, as if he was too lazy to look at this person.
Seeing this scene, Min Xing frowned without a trace.
Zhuge Gong didn't feel embarrassed, he just laughed it off.
Lan Yu first glanced at Lin Han, who was the younger brother of the princess and the brother-in-law of the prince, and then glanced at the commander of the tiger camp who was born in a thousand households, and smiled playfully.
Xu Lin leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes and recuperated, ignoring all of this.
When Xiao Yu walked into the council hall, the hall, which was still a little faint, suddenly fell silent.
Xiao Yu slowly walked to the left seat at the top and sat down, looking around expressionlessly.
At this moment, whether it was Lin Han or Min Xing, they all got up from their chairs, and even Xu Lin opened his eyes and also got up and saluted Xiao Yu.
Xiao Yu stretched out his hand and pressed it weakly, and there was no joy or anger in his calm voice.
"Take your seats. ”
