A night of winter wind, before dawn, the sound of chickens woke up the entire Jianglin City.

In the inner city, the prefectures were agitated, some people were setting horses and preparing cars, and some of the mansions were hurrying to boil water for the lord and wear official clothes, and after a while, on the streets of the inner city, there were officials riding horses, and some officials were rushing in sedan chairs, and most of the officials were still walking with the crowd of people who rushed to the court.

Fan Mou, who sat in the sedan chair and went to the court, seemed to have been sleepless all night, his slender eyes were thick with fatigue, and the events of last night unfolded in his mind like a curtain. But with Qi Shao's destruction of Emperor Zhao Cheng, he was not thin on his staff, and he sat all the way to this Qi Yun's right prime minister, Fan Mou did not think about cutting off from the Northern Jin Dynasty, and really devoted himself to serving Qi Yun, but he had been passing information for the Northern Jin Dynasty for many years, and he had already been deeply involved in it, and the mysterious man in black came with the order of the Jin Lord last night, Fan Mou had been doing things for many years, how could he not understand the meaning of the Jin Lord's words, in addition to informing him of the matter of leaving the withering glory, he ordered himself to go to the secret affairs of the Qi Yun Jianghu of the Mirror Flower and Water Moon, and beating himself was the ultimate goal of the Jin Lord's delirium.

Now he is in a dilemma, if Emperor Qiyun knows his detailed identity, his own family will not recover, but if he betrays Jin and surrenders to Qi, and regardless of whether Emperor Qiyun still believes in himself, the man in black yesterday will also ask for his life for Jin, and now he can only grit his teeth and go to the black, if there is really one day, the Northern Jin Dynasty will go south, all the way to destroy Qi, Yunnan and Tang, and dominate the world, and he can also fall into the name of a hero for all generations.

But the current Qiyun Emperor Qi Shao, diligent in politics, unparalleled in resourcefulness, I don't know if what I did can be hidden from the emperor's eyes that see everything, but now I am sailing against the current, I can only grit my teeth and persevere, thinking of this, Fan Mou rubbed his forehead. I didn't sleep last night, and I sent someone to pass on the information that the man in black told me about leaving Kurong to go crazy overnight, and I passed it in my mind again before and after my plan to separate the two princes of Qi Yun, if there is the slightest omission, my years of careful layout will be ruined.

The voice of the subordinate interrupted Fan Mou's thoughts in the sedan chair: "Master, it's time to get off the sedan chair when you arrive at Qiyang Gate."

Fan Mou could hear what people said, retracted his thoughts, cheered up, straightened the black veil on his head, tidied up his vermilion official uniform, lifted the sedan curtain and came out, the officials outside Qiyang Gate were waiting in groups of three or five, and when they saw the right minister Fan Mou coming out of the sedan chair, they all consciously split both sides, let the debut, and said: "Fan Xiang".

Fan Mou looked at the appearance of the officials greeting and saluting him, and couldn't help but feel complacent, he went from a staff member back then, and now he has become a powerful minister under one person and above ten thousand people. Fan Mou held the wat board in his hand and walked with his head held high, until he was in front of the officials.

The two people standing at the front of the queue, one is wearing a vermilion Xiujin four-clawed nine-python robe, wearing a gilded Tongtian crown, and the other is wearing a plain four-clawed five-python robe, wearing a white jade crown, it is the prince Qi Wu and Ning Wang Qi Tao, Qi Wu, the two brothers are talking with their arms at the moment, seeing the officials give way, the right minister Fan Mou stepped over, Qi Wu and Qi Tao The two princes all saluted Fan Mou: "Right Minister".

Fan Mou hurriedly bowed and saluted: "The old minister sees His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness King Ning." ”

The two princes hurriedly said: "The right minister doesn't have to be polite."

Fan Mou looked up at the crown prince Qi Wu, and saw that Qi Wu's face was pale, and there was a trace of essence in his slender eyes, so he smiled knowingly, and said to the prince: "His Royal Highness the prince has a bad complexion today, is he in good health?" ”

When the prince saw Fan Mou's eyes, he replied knowingly: "Cheng is worried about the right side, the palace is a little cold, it's okay, it's the second brother, a few days ago for the court to run around for days, compared to me, the eldest brother, the second brother has to take care of his body", after speaking, he looked at Ning Wang Qi Tao on the side.

His Royal Highness King Ning starry eyebrows, exquisite thoughts, eyes flowing, and he heard the sarcasm in his brother's words, King Ning's expression remained unchanged, and he bowed and said: "Thank you Brother Prince, for the court, for my father, and for my people, how can my brother not do his best, but the prince's brother assists his father and is busy with government affairs, so he has to take care of his body", Qi Wu has been reprimanded by the emperor in recent days because of negligence, and now Qi Tao is assisting his father and the emperor, busy with court affairs, so that the prince Qi Wu's face can't help but blush, Extremely embarrassing.

Fan Mou saw that Qi Wu was teased by King Ning at this moment, so he hurriedly stepped forward to hold His Royal Highness the Prince's arm and said: "His Royal Highness King Ning, the prince has been ill due to state affairs in recent days, and His Royal Highness King Ning went out of Beijing on an errand, and still remembered the affairs of Beijing, and the old minister admired it very much."

King Ning looked at Fan Mou holding the arm of the imperial brother at the moment, the implication was very obvious, he was running errands abroad, and he knew everything about the affairs of the capital, wouldn't he be suspected of forming a party, King Ning secretly said in his heart, this Fan Mou has always been impartial in the court, and he went out of Beijing to do an errand, how could he come to speak for the imperial brother today, but after thinking about it, a few days ago, Zheng Zhi and other officials had played the court to set up another prince on the grounds that the prince had neglected political affairs for many years and had misconduct. Everyone knows that it is the right minister in front of him.

King Ning smiled, Lang looked at Fan Mou, and said with a smile: "The right minister is serious, when the king went out on an errand, my father once explained to the king, although he is out for the court, don't forget to hang on the affairs of the capital, don't act out of proportion, but the right minister, as the leader of the clear stream, and assist the court on weekdays, I haven't seen him for a few days, and his face is haggard, please also ask the right minister to take care of his body."

Qi Wu was about to speak, but Fan Mou grabbed his arm, his slender eyes narrowed into slits, and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness King Ning cares, and the old minister should keep it in mind." ”

Just a few people talked, only to hear the Qiyang door squeak, the heavy main door slowly opened, Qi Tao, Qi Wu and the hundred officials behind him are all dressed by themselves, the officials stand in line, with the opening of the main gate, the two princes and the officials slowly entered, until the main hall of Qiyang Palace, at this time a small eunuch came out of the hall, holding a long whip, the whip is three zhang long, the little eunuch shook the long whip hard, the quiet whip was silent at the beginning, the officials stood in two shifts, the golden tile and jade bricks in the Qiyang Palace, and the four optimus dragon pillars supported the hall of the hundred zhang, It is more majestic palace, and this Qiyun Hall gray jade brick on the top of dozens of jade steps, above the jade steps is the gold lacquer dragon chair that symbolizes the supreme power of Qi Yun, behind the dragon chair there are more gold engraved thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, the waiter next to the dragon chair holds the five Ming Bird Feather Fan on both sides, the gold plaque in the blue paint is the current emperor Qi Shao's imperial pen inscription 'diligent government and governance', the emperor Qi Shao sat down in the supreme dragon chair, glanced at the loyal Qi beside him, the great eunuch's sharp voice shouted: "Enter the palace!" ”

The officials entered the hall and knelt down, above the sky, no one dared to look up directly, the emperor's majestic gaze swept over everyone, and said: "Everyone is the Qing family." ”

Zhongqi then continued to shout: "If there is something to go out of the class, there is nothing to roll up the curtain and retreat."

As soon as Zhongqi's voice fell, among the officials, Sun Zhong, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, knelt down tremblingly: "The saint, Sun Zhong of the Ministry of Rites asked to play, the Ministry of Rites was ordered to compile the "Qi Yundian" has been compiled today, the old minister is fortunate not to be dishonored, and he wants to continue to serve the saint, but the old minister is old, and he feels that it is difficult to continue to take on the heavy responsibility, please tell the old man to return to his hometown. ”

The emperor looked at the old minister in front of him who was even a little trembling when he walked, and said: "Since I ascended the throne, Sun Qing's family has been conscientious and conscientious, and led the Ministry of Rites to compile the "Qiyun Dian" for the imperial court. Quasi-playing, passing on my will, rewarding Sun Qing's daughter, Tian Baiqing, and returning to his hometown with the carriages and horses of the officials."

"Thank you, Lord Longen, long live my emperor, long live, long live." Sun Zhong struggled to get up.

"Come on, help Sun Qing's family" The old man before the emperor met exhausted his efforts for "Qi Yundian", sighed in his heart, and ordered the little eunuch to step forward to help this old Shangshu.

The emperor then said: "As Sun Qingjia said, this "Qi Yundian" has been compiled, and I must take a good look at it."

Zhang Lanyu, the ceremonial waiter, then knelt down and played: "Qi Yu Shengshang, since the second year of Emperor Wen, the ministers obeyed the orders of the saints, and compiled the "Qiyun Dian" with Sun Shangshu, after 16 years of collection and revision, and today has been compiled, the whole book has a total of 21,000 volumes, please please read it."

"Okay, a kind of compilation official of the Ministry of Rites has worked hard and has made great achievements, and I am very relieved." The emperor's eyes moved slightly, loyal to Qi, and ordered the little eunuch to move the "Qi Yundian" catalog in the main hall, this "Qi Yundian" only cataloged more than 80 volumes, and the court officials saw it, and they all praised it.

The emperor moved, stepped down the steps with his hands, slowly walked to the side of the "Qi Yun Dian", pulled out the general outline, and looked at it, in this "Qi Yun Dian", Han Jing, history, sub, and collection, involving astronomy and geography, yin and yang medicine, divination, interpretation of Tibetan Taoist scriptures, drama, industry, and agriculture, the emperor looked at the general outline, was overjoyed, and said with a smile: "Okay, good, this book is not only my Qi Yun, but also the first classic of the land of China.

"The ministers bring a group of compilers, thank you for your grace, long live my emperor", Zhang Lanyu kowtowed and thanked him.

The little eunuchs moved this directory into the apse, and the emperor looked around at the hundred officials and said: "A few days ago, Xiao Cheng, the left minister, and Wang Tian, the general of the northwest, played, this Xiongnu frequently disturbed my border pass every winter, and the Northern Jin Dynasty clan was also restless. ”

Seeing that all the officials were silent, the sense of joy brought by the Qiyun ceremony was replaced by an inexplicable fire, and his expression remained unchanged, the emperor's eyes fell on the prince and King Ning, who were standing with their hands down, twisted the jade hold, and asked the prince: "Prince, in your opinion, how to deal with it?" ”

Hearing his father's question to himself, the prince who only likes to listen to optimistic dances on weekdays and whips his subordinates hurriedly came out and said: "Father, this Huns come to disturb the border every winter, so that Wang Tian can go out of the customs to pacify, this north... The Jin Dynasty and the Northern Jin Dynasty should also choose a general in the DPRK to go out to fight and quell the rangers who disturb our border passes."

"Oh? What does the prince mean to fight? The emperor didn't know whether he was happy or angry, so he only smiled and continued to ask the prince: "I ask you, the soldiers have a cloud, 'the soldiers and horses have not moved, the grain and grass go first' and no matter whether it is still winter, this south has suffered the heaviest winter and snow disaster since the founding of the country, for the farming in the coming year, for the people, if the soldiers are used again, I Qiyun will be unstable."

"It's... This." The crown prince was momentarily speechless when he was asked by his father, and his pale face was even more bloodless in an instant.

At this time, a calm voice came from the side: "Father, son, please play." Officially, King Ning Qi Tao stood on the side.

The emperor looked at Qi Tao, the king of Ning, and the majesty in his eyes seemed to be a little less, but he still said with a smile: "Quasi-play."

"From the perspective of the sons, the Shanhaiguan city wall is strong, the soldiers are good at food, and there are Xiao Youxiang and Wang Lao General sitting in the town, the Huns disturb the pass, nothing more than to force me to send troops to the angry court, and it is in the treacherous plan of the Huns, if our army does not hold out, even if the Huns are fierce and good at fighting, they will not be able to pass the pass, and the people will be safe. Today's plan is that the imperial court should allocate grain and reinforcements from the reserve grain and grass, and wait for more than a month, then the Xiongnu will definitely lack food and retreat. After the autumn harvest of the coming year, there will be plenty of grain and grass, and it will not be too late to talk about the war. King Ning Qi Tao stood on top of the court and talked eloquently.

When the emperor heard this, the majesty in his eyes turned to praise, and the ministers in the hall also praised each other.

King Ning pondered for a moment, and continued to talk calmly: "The Northern Jin Dynasty disturbs the people, the sons and daughters look at it, strange and abnormal, since the Northern Jin Dynasty lord succeeded to the throne in vain, he has not seen my soldiers for many years, although the Northern Jin Dynasty peeps at the heart of my dynasty is not dead, but in this winter season, it is against the art of war, and the harassment of the rangers is not the style of the Northern Jin Dynasty, the sons are worried that someone in the name of the Northern Jin Dynasty will rob our people, and they should be strictly investigated. ”
