Chapter 677: High Monks and Qing Officials

Although it was sunny today, the night still fell as scheduled, He Ye didn't want to quit the table so quickly, but he couldn't bear the hints of his princess one by one, so he had to rest and continue to listen to the ears as a decoration, pretending to be impatient, pushing the wine glass, patting the wooden chopstick, and going back to the guest room to rest first.

The earth house is still the two earth houses, but the equipment is a lot complete, which shows Luo Hou's "villain style".

There are already servants and maids ready two basins of hot water, a stack of dry and soft towels, there are seven or eight kinds of soybean flour just to clean the face, some are fragrant, some are refreshing and elegant, and the medicinal materials for foot bathing are even ready, and there is no longer only one "netherworld fire", more than a dozen lamps and candles illuminate the room as if it were daylight, the cramped bed has disappeared, replaced by another high bed and wide couch, covered with thick felt brocade mattress, and even hung a Luo tent.

If His Royal Highness King Jin didn't have a "quirk", of course he would have had a good night's sleep tonight, but for some reason he always felt that something was not so pleasant, when Ai Lu girl removed his coat for him, uncovered a copper gilt furnace placed against the wall, and stirred it in with a long chopstick, He Ye suddenly realized.

There is incense in the house!

It seems that the reason why he can enjoy such treatment is completely because of the light of the princess.

"Okay, okay, don't rub around here anymore, watch the princess go." His Royal Highness the King of Jin said what was in his heart without paying attention.

Ai Lu's eyes widened: "Your Highness is letting the servant spy on the princess?" Obviously showing a look of disdain: Your Highness is careful, the princess is so aggrieved.

He Ye knew that he was at a loss, but he was still inward-looking: "Knowing that you are the princess's confidant, I am so stupid that I really let you monitor?" It's just talking about playing, so it's young, why isn't it funny at all. ”

Ai Lu went out in disbelief, and made up her mind to still go to the princess to complain about the small case, as for whether Her Royal Highness was talking about playing, it was all up to the princess to decide.

As soon as Ai Lu left, He Ye picked up a handful of holding pots, gritted his teeth and extinguished the incense burner, but after lying down, he still felt that there was a strange fragrance in this room, so he simply took the entire incense burner outside the house, and then it stopped, and the bedding and the faint incense of Luo Tent His Royal Highness had to be ignored, who let him go out, and he was staying in someone else's house, and he had to endure it if he was not used to it, He Ye couldn't help but secretly blame Luo Hou for a lot of things, what was wrong with that yesterday? Why be so bothersome?

Completely forget yesterday's midnight torment outside the clouds.

But He Ye originally didn't have the habit of going to bed early, so he tossed and turned over and over again, and finally tossed himself up again, blew out most of the lights in the room, and only left a "ghost" for the princess who was still talking and laughing, and when he lay down again, he silently recited the "Great Nirvana Sutra" in his heart.

His Royal Highness the King of Jin does not believe in Buddhism, and naturally he does not know much about Buddhist scriptures, but he has been in danger since he was a child, and he does not sleep so peacefully at night, and even often has insomnia, many methods are not helpful, at that time, in order to train the ability to memorize, he happened to be reciting esoteric Buddhist scriptures when he was idle, but he accidentally found that he would be drowsy after not reciting it for a long time, so He Ye found an effective way to self-destruct himself.

This method was tried and tested, and within a moment, someone who tossed and turned was calming down.

I don't know how long I slept, I heard a "plop" sound outside the door, He Ye woke up suddenly, his hand had already touched the dagger under the pillow, and he heard Eleven Niang muttering outside: "Why is this thing at the door?" ”

It turned out that Eleven Niang had finished talking with her new friend Luo Jiulang, and was very considerate to wash up in the Ai Lu room, and when she came to rest, she was thinking about knocking on the door, so she kicked the incense burner first, and after seeing the thing in her way, she was slightly surprised, and still called "Your Highness" twice, pushed open the door and flashed aside, thinking that He Ye had woken up and would not be injured by mistake, so he entered the house.

Under the trance halo of the "ghostly light", she could barely see the figure sitting on the bed, and Eleven Niang took a few steps with the light to see the wide and comfortable bed again, and she breathed a sigh of relief: Very good, tonight will not be so cramped.

But he still didn't forget to apologize: "Wake up Your Highness, I also wanted to talk to Luo Jiulang more, but I really couldn't bear the cold at night." ”

"I feel cold, and I'm still rubbing something." His Highness's words: Hurry up and go to bed.

For being awakened in the middle of a good dream, in fact, His Royal Highness the violent King Jin was not annoyed, because this proved that his vigilance did not become dull, but felt relieved.

Eleven Niang walked around the head of the bed, sat down from the other side, and took off the coat that was originally put on her body, and it was not as cramped as last night, this bed was very wide, and the two of them could do it without committing any offense in autumn, neither of them would feel embarrassed and embarrassed without skin to skin.

The princess got into the quilt generously, and even joked with He Ye: "Your Highness doesn't have to sit upright, it's a long night, even if you can't sleep, it's good to lie down and recuperate." ”

He Ye: This girl, seeing that she doesn't need human heating today, began to rejoice!

However, he himself was not aware of the smile on the corner of his mouth, let alone aware of it, even though there was still a lingering fragrance on the tip of his nose, he no longer felt impetuous.

"Can the princess find out from Luo Jiulang's mouth that Mingkong and Ji Lun are strange?" He Ye really reclined down, supported his head with his arms, and talked about business with Eleven Niang.

Both of them consciously maintained the Chu River Han Realm between their bodies, and the atmosphere seemed to be not charming at all.

"Luo Jiulang is not a believer in Buddhism, because he has not been in contact with Mingkong, but Mingkong has given grain and rice several times, and the villagers of Bailing have also been favored, according to Luo Jiulang, many villagers are very respectful of Mingkong, even the old man of the south, a pair of grandchildren and grandchildren are sick, and there are many monks of Mingde Temple to receive and treat, now although the two children are still frail, but there is no worry about their lives, Luo Jiulang lives in the suburbs, Bailing Village is very close to Mingde Temple, these years, I have never heard of any bad deeds of the abbot of Mingkong or even the monks in the temple."

"Suppose that among the abbots of Mingkong or the monks of Mingde Temple, there are Pan tribe tenants, then what is their purpose?" He Ye frowned slightly.

"When Pan Bu installed this tenant, maybe he was just taking precautions, so now that he occupies Yan Zhao, he will inevitably try to use this tenant to help Pan's coalition army attack Jinshuo." Shi Niang said: "Then the purpose is obvious, it must be related to hindering the implementation of the new policy. ”

"What about Taigu Ling Jilun?" He Ye asked again.

"Compared with many eunuchs, Luo Jiulang has reservations about this." Eleven Niang said: "Ji Lun has taken over the Taigu Order, although he has not eradicated the shortcomings of the lack of land, this is not something that he can cure with a county order, as for encouraging agriculture and mulberry, Ji Lun seems to have done a good job, for example, in Bailing Village, there is a pond that Ji Ming Mansion called on the rich to donate, which greatly alleviated the worry of irrigation in the hot and dry season. ”

"It doesn't prove anything." He Ye has been holding back these words for most of the day: "In Bailing Village, most of the fields are occupied by the rich and noble, and the people who actually benefit the most from the construction of water conservancy ponds are not the peasants. ”

Eleven Niang's head: "Your Highness's words are on point, but compared to those who are obviously Mao Wei's followers, although Ji Lun has no great merit, and indeed there is no bullying and evil behavior, just say that the conscription order, although Ji Lun did not dare to disobey the order, he had to force the qualified people to perform military service repeatedly, but he did not delay the pension, just like in Bailing Village, the peasant man died in battle, and Ji Lun actually made up for the field, just like Jinyang City, how many war dead, the family still suffers from hunger and cold, and the people's livelihood must be more sympathetic. ”

"So according to the princess, this Ji Lun is really loyal and trustworthy?"

"No!" The princess vetoed it, but did not directly judge it, but talked about Ji Lun's life experience: "Although Ji Lun was born in a family, his family background is even worse than Shao Borong, he was twenty-six years old, and he was admitted to the office, and he was awarded the county lieutenant for eight years, indicating that there was no help behind him. ”

Now Ji Lun is nearly fifty years old, but he is only a county order from the seventh grade, if there is no accident in his career, at most he will go up a step, and he can't break through the limitation of the five grades, just talking about Ji Lun's background, and the achievements of the three years, in fact, this is normal, and it does not prove that the court buried good talents.

"But seeing that Ji Lun openly opposed Mao Wei and vigorously advocated the New Deal, it is obvious that he still has expectations for his career and is not willing to stop there." Eleven Niang said: "When Ji Lun was the new lieutenant, he did not have outstanding political achievements, but why was he successfully promoted to Taigu Ling? It should have been recommended by the officials, but obviously not by his own talents, because now the imperial court does not attach importance to the appointment of talents, it can be seen that Ji Lun is also very familiar with the current way of being an official, so how could he be depressed during his tenure in Taigu Ling? ”

He Ye raised his eyebrows: "The princess is saying that he has already stood in the camp?" ”
