"That's how it is."

When Xia Jingyun finished telling the story one by one, Jun's face was full of sincerity, "This is really Jiang Yuhu's adopted daughter." ”

It is said that this detailed, thoughtful and logical process can be called a reasonable and convincing experience, but seeing Xia Jingyun holding the child so skillfully, and the child so recognizing him sleeping soundly and sweetly in his arms, he felt that something was wrong.

Xia Jingyun was anxious, looked at Xia Yunfei, and was speechless, "If you don't send Guanyin to the bamboo forest, what are you taking me here?" ”

Xia Yunfei spread his hands, "Guanyin is a concubine, she can't hand it over, the second master heard her cry sadly, and she couldn't bear it, so let me take it back to the house first, and then he will come over and get familiar with it slowly." ”

Xia Jingyun was stunned for a moment after hearing this, "Then you can bring it yourself!" Do it to me! ”

Xia Yunfei glanced at Su Yanyan's daughters, "I don't have so many people?" ”

Xia Jingyun looked loveless, "You did it on purpose, right?" You return to the south, can there be fewer nurses and servants? Do you need to bring it to me? ”

Xia Yunfei smiled, "You just said that you want to miss Guanyin, right?" ”

Looking at Xia Yunfei like that, Xia Jingyun knew that it must have been Jiang Yuhu's prank, but he was still a little powerless for Xia Yunfei, a thick-eyed and big-eyed person, to follow this kind of thing.

But after thinking about it, Jiang Yuhu is not as boring as Baiyunbian, he will simply do some stupid things, maybe there is also Jiang Yuhu who loves Guanyin deeply, thinking that there are no women in the bamboo forest, so I hope that my wives and concubines can help take care of it more.

Thinking of this, Xia Jingyun looked at the women, "See, this is really not mine." ”

After the general situation was clear, Xia Li took the initiative to step forward, looked at the little baby in his arms, and looked at Su Yanyan and the others with a smile, "This little girl is really good!" Look! ”

My mother-in-law had spoken, and Su Yanyan and the others, who had taken the opportunity to ring the alarm for Xia Jingyun, naturally would not hold it anymore, so they immediately got up and surrounded it, and then involuntarily flooded with maternal love.

Everything settled down, everyone handed over the child to the nurse, Feng Xiuyun sent his personal maid to settle the group, Xia Yunfei also sat down directly, the family was really reunited this time, and they had a good chat.

The summer night and color came very late, when the night enveloped Zhongjing, everyone dispersed, Su Yanyan and Qin Li held Xia Jingyun's arm left and right, and slowly walked to the backyard.

"Husband, is that child's name Guanyin?"

"Well, the big name is Jiang Wuji."

"It's very nice, Jiang Yuhu can't come up with such a name."

"Ahem, I took it, but it's really not mine."

"That husband, do you want yours?"

"Or, two."

Xia Jingyun stopped, looking left and right.

Under the night, with his biting teeth, bold eyes, and eyes as soft as silky sweetness, many basketball terms flashed in his mind at the moment.

Singles with sticks, holding the ball in both hands, hitting people with the ball.

And on such a celebratory night, how can you take care of one or the other, Rouge and Feng Xiuyun must also take care of it.

At the same time that Xia Jingyun was beating eggs all night and the girls were talking like a river, in the night market in Zhongjing City, Yelu Caiqi and the maid held hands, opened their curious eyes, and looked around happily with relish.

"Miss, look at how good this juggler is!"

"Look at this jewelry, it's so beautiful!"

"Miss, it's so fragrant, what is that, let's go taste it!"

Everyone strolled around the city until late at night, and then returned to Honglu Temple.

"Miss, this capital is really much more prosperous than our upper capital!"

"Well, Daliang is vast and sparsely populated, and there are many grasslands and Gobi, which is not as prosperous as the Southern Dynasties."

"Miss, shall we go back then?"

"Nonsense, how can you not go back?"

"Miss, you said that now that the two dynasties of the north and the south have made peace, will they get married?"

Yelu Ceqi turned his head and made a chestnut, "You just want to stay in the Southern Dynasty so much, I will find someone to promise you to him tomorrow!" ”

She strode into the Honglu Temple, and then sat in the room, holding her cheek with her hands, looking at the full moon overhead, stunned, not knowing what she was thinking, or who she was thinking.

——

The next day, there was no need to go to court, Xia Jingyun went directly to the center.

Yang Weiguang was still sick, and at the same time handed a new Zhishi excerpt to the Queen Mother.

Xia Jingyun naturally knew about these for a long time, and there was no surprise at all, seeing that the rest of the people had arrived, he sat down in the conference hall with them and started the first meeting of this new central team.

"Ladies and gentlemen, now that the center has changed, whether it is an old man who is still in charge of the important responsibilities of the country, or a colleague who has newly joined the center, in addition to congratulating you, I have to remind you that the livelihood of hundreds of millions of people in the thirteen states of Daxia is on the shoulders of a few of us. The more diligent we are, the better the world will be, and the life of the people will be better. On the contrary, if we are rotten here, the people's lives will be sad. In the later period of the First Emperor's Dynasty, the heroes rose together, the wolf smoke bursts, and the roar of those desperate rebels and the miserable howls of the victims are still in our ears, so, everyone, we can't slack off! ”

Xia Jingyun's words kicked off the prelude to this conversation, but in this way, it may have a strong touch and encouragement for ordinary people, but for these people who have experienced the ups and downs of the sea and reached the top of the imperial official position, there is not much real touch.

Each of them has their own firm life creed, and they will not be excited by a few words.

Unless those words can cut into their thoughts, fears, and fears.

Xia Jingyun naturally understood this, so after the opening, he calmly continued: "If you are superfluous, you are all outstanding people, so there is no need to say more." What I have just expounded is my personal governing philosophy, and you can disagree with it, but until you have the ability to replace me as prime minister, please do so. If you can't, I can replace you. ”

The domineering and murderous aura were revealed without warning, so that Zhang Caiming and Shen Shengwen couldn't help but be stunned, and immediately became solemn.

And Wei Yuanzhi and Li Tianfeng, who had witnessed Xia Jingyun's "blackening" when the palace changed the night before, sighed secretly, this day has come after all.

But the good thing is that such a change is not necessarily a bad thing.

Bai Yunbian was silent on the surface, snorting coldly in his heart, sneering at it while studying it word by word, silently chewing and reminiscing about this passage, and using it for his own use.

Xia Jingyun continued: "Empty things, when you are done, let's talk about business." The biggest thing right now is the New Deal. The new policy is not a decision made by me patting my head, nor is it to highlight the achievements of the Queen Mother, but our Great Xia has reached the point where we have to change! Just like a person who is seriously ill, if you don't give him medicine, he will only wait for death to survive! At that time, the so-called power of you and me will be turned into a cloud of smoke under the swords and guns of the righteous army or foreign clans, and the more than 300 years of the Great Xia Guozuo will also end in our hands! We are all sinners of history! ”

At this time, Shen Shengwen finally found an opportunity to repay Xia Jingyun's trust and promotion to him.

He opened his mouth to take over the conversation, "What Xia Xiang said is very true! Ladies and gentlemen, Xia Xiang's words are not exaggerated, although the four seas are flat now, the actual situation is not so good, but it is just a repetition of the story of the old military god. These rebels are not resisting and not fighting, but that is only a brilliant achievement taken by His Royal Highness King Jing. Bishui Pass broke 50,000 from 3,000, and captured Xiao Fengshan and Lu Rusong; Yinmayuan broke 150,000 Northern Liang elites in the first battle, and the Northern Liang people did not dare to take the lead; When these people saw this great military might, they were afraid, and that's all. ”

He nodded to the table and leaned forward, "But everyone, they are afraid, not not reversed." Whenever the myth of His Royal Highness King Jing's invincibility is shattered, or if there is any other accident, they will be like when the old military god passed away, and they will rise up one after another, like the momentum of a prairie fire, and once again ignite the whole world. ”

Shen Shengwen, as the secretary of the Ministry of War, said this sentence with more convincing power than Xia Jingyun, and everyone listened to it solemnly, after all, this is not a trivial matter, it is a major matter related to their vital interests!

Xia Jingyun nodded, obviously very satisfied with Shen Shengwen's timely addition, he picked up the conversation, "Lord Shen's words are also the worries of the prime minister. If you want to be completely stable, you must let these people survive in peace, only in this way will the displaced people become obedient and good people, and the huge hidden dangers hanging over the head of the court can be eliminated. That's why the New Deal has to be implemented, folks! I have to give the people a way to live! ”

Hearing this, Wei Yuanzhi naturally couldn't let Shen Shengwen concentrate on the front, and said: "Xia Xiang, don't worry, we people will do our own jobs and implement the new policy." ”

Xia Jingyun snorted, "Today's words are just to unify my thoughts with you, as for the real things, when the general outline of the new deal is issued, we will do our best." ”

Hearing this, Zhang Caiming couldn't help but ask: "Xia Xiang, was this new general policy issued by His Majesty?" ”

Xia Jingyun smiled faintly, "You can also think about what things need to be reformed urgently, give your majesty a discount, or discuss it in the center." I'll have an excerpt in a few days. ”

Speaking of which, it's basically about the same, everyone is a central minister, even if Xia Jingyun is a powerful minister, it is impossible to take some of them and train them for a long time like training his son.

The group discussed some important matters at the moment, and then went back to the workshop.

After everyone dispersed, Xia Jingyun picked up the pen and ink and brushed it on the paper, and then threw the paper into the lamp on the side and burned it, got up and walked out of the central courtyard, and entered the palace.

After entering the palace, he didn't go to Changle Palace but went directly to Dongfang Bai.

Although some things are clear, disguise or pretentiousness still has its proper meaning, and caution is also necessary.

The kind of unscrupulous behavior that you feel like you already know, and when you finally look for death, don't blame others for changing their attitudes.

In the Qianyuan Palace, Dongfang Bai, who was reading a book, saw Xia Jingyun and waved his hand with a smile, "Uncle! ”

Xia Jingyun went up with a smile, Jin Zhong got out of the way with interest, and let Xia Jingyun personally push Dongfang Bai towards the door, and he himself fell far behind.

"Uncle, congratulations!"

"Your dignified emperor, isn't it a little funny to say congratulations to one of my courtiers?"

Dongfang Bai smiled, "The dynasty has not yet passed the prime minister in his early twenties, Uncle is so powerful!" ”

Xia Jingyun said with a smile: "Uncle Na hopes that you will be more powerful in the future, open a prosperous era unseen in a thousand years, a saint monarch who is difficult to find for hundreds of generations, the four seas will be leveled, and the Haiyan River will be clear." ”

Dongfang Bai was silent for a moment and nodded slightly, "Uncle, when is the right time for me to go?" ”

"Anytime, if you want to go out now, Uncle will go and discuss with your mother, and then make arrangements."

"Let's go now!"

Xia Jingyun smiled and hummed, pushing him towards Changle Palace.

When she arrived at Changle Palace, although Concubine De's body gradually returned to normal, she was still recuperating, and when she saw these two most important men in her life, her beautiful eyes flashed with brilliance.

Concubine De waved her hand lightly, and the palace people all retreated with interest, only Mama Yuan stood outside the palace gate, not only guarding against people with bad intentions, but also standing by at any time.

Concubine De looked at Dongfang Bai and said with concern: "Are your legs better?" ”

Dongfang Bai snorted, "Imperial Doctor Li has just treated it again, saying that the recovery is good, but it will take some time." ”

"That's good." Concubine De looked at Xia Jingyun again, "Today, Yang Weiguang is on the fold again, how do you plan after accompanying him to perform this scene?" ”

Xia Jingyun smiled and said, "Let's put it under house arrest first, and see if we can make an exchange with Beiliang in the future." ”

"Then after he leaves, the center is short of personnel?"

"When the general outline of the new policy is released, there must be some undercurrents between the government and the opposition, and among these big clans, there are also some people who know the current affairs, and when the center has the remaining position, it can be their reward, and at the same time, it will also divide them."

Concubine De nodded, "It's good if you have a number." In this case, presumably how to deal with those people who are still locked up in the Criminal Department, you also have a plan? ”

Xia Jingyun snorted, and whispered his thoughts to the two, Concubine De smiled speechlessly after hearing this, and Dongfang Bai teased: "With Uncle here, I'm afraid they won't be able to fight if they have a few brains." ”

Xia Jingyun said with a straight face: "The court can have the current situation, and I can deal with it so easily, but in fact, thanks to the trust and support of your sister and Yu'er, I have a lot more confidence and more means than those who have changed the law in the past, and at the same time, I don't need to worry about the power struggle in the court." So, the credit goes back to you, and I've only done a small job. ”

Concubine De glanced at him faintly, "There are no outsiders here, why do you say these high-sounding lies!" ”

Xia Jingyun laughed dryly, "Then let's get down to business, now that everything in the court is basically back to stability, and Yu'er is going out for a walk, can it be put on the agenda?" ”

When she mentioned this, Concubine De's heart tightened slightly, but when she saw Dongfang looking at her with white eyes, she sighed in her heart and looked at Xia Jingyun, "What do you think?" ”

"The safety of this trip is the first, so I plan to let Shang Zhicheng accompany him, protect the safety of Yu'er closely, and bring fifty elite forbidden soldiers, and then let Lu Yi follow, he is from the rivers and lakes, he is familiar with all kinds of doorways, and his own martial arts are not bad, so he will be of great use."

Concubine De nodded, she was naturally absolutely relieved of Lu Yi.

"Then, Yu'er's trip was not just a trip to the mountains and rivers, so I wanted Xun Feihong and another teenager to accompany him. Xun Feihong needless to say, that young man I met when I was in Longshou Prefecture, he was born as a beggar, but he has a dignified character and a lively brain, and the most important thing is to repay his kindness, and he also saved my life and Yan Yan, Ah Li and others. The three of them are of the same age, and they also have a companion along the way, and with these two people traveling with them, Yu'er can also understand the people's suffering more thoroughly. ”

Hearing this, Dongfang Bai said sensibly: "Uncle, do you want to follow the example of the first emperor and find me an old prince Su and an old Zhao owner?" ”

Xia Jingyun smiled, "Uncle can't accompany you for a lifetime, in the future, you still have to have peers to accompany you!" ”

Concubine De suddenly understood, and looked at Xia Jingyun's gaze, which was instantly full of tenderness.

He didn't lie to me

"If Sister and Yu'er don't have any opinions, I'll go down and make arrangements. Before the Beiliang people came, they could do all these things first. ”

Concubine De nodded, "Thank you for your hard work." ”

Xia Jingyun smiled and shook his head, Dongfang Bai was puzzled: "Uncle, are you so sure that the people of Beiliang will come?" ”

"Whether or not they really have the heart to discuss big things together, they will definitely come, and they will come very grandly."

Xia Jingyun said with a smile: "Come on, come on, anyway, the pit has been dug for them." ”

——

Beiliang, several carriages, coming slowly from all directions, stopped outside the gate of the Dingxi Palace.

Then, Xue Fenghua, the head of the Xue family, Yuan Xiantao, the head of the Yuan family, Pei Shisheng, the head of the Murong family, Murong Hammer, Wan Yan Wang, the younger brother of Wan Yan Da, and Yu Wenchan, the brother of Yu Wenyun, the head of the Yuwen family, each got out of the car and silently walked into the gate of the palace.
