Chapter 274: The Big Wedding

Xiao Yunhe smiled slightly: "That's the loyalty of ordinary scholars." The loyalty of this king. It lies in being loyal to the world and to the people. You are incomprehensible to such people. So, I don't want to explain too much in front of you. ”

"You, you are sophistry!" Xue Cuncheng was a little annoyed, but continued, "You are said to be unrighteous because you killed 10,000 people and took the merits of one person. Look at your current prestige. What point did you not get by killing more than 10,000 people? You will base your deeds on the death of others. Can you count this as a righteous act?"

Xiao Yunhe laughed: "Saying that you are pedantic, it is really not ordinary pedantry." "Sima Law" said, killing people is safe, and killing is okay. Xue Ziming. You have seen the tens of thousands of people that this king has killed, but you have seen clearly. Who did this king kill? Rebel and rebel against the thieves, invade the Great Qi and kill and abuse the people. If I don't kill them, they will kill many more people. Let me ask: Doesn't killing them mean that I have saved more civilians? Now it seems that you are just a villain, and it is difficult for you to reach the hall of elegance. I'm getting more and more disappointed in you. Well, nevertheless, I would also like to hear what you have to say about it. How should I say that I am not filial?"

Xue Cuncheng sneered and said, "Do you need to say more? Today, the Holy Lord regards you as his adopted son, but you secretly want to seize his throne. Need this be explained?"

After hearing this, Xiao Yunhe stared at Xue with some annoyance for a long time, and said, "The matter between me and the emperor is not as simple as you think. I don't want to, and I don't need to explain anything more to you. I'll just say one thing: the interests of Wanmin Sheji are higher than one qiē. For the sake of this supreme interest, even if he bears the charges of disloyalty, injustice, and unfilial piety that you have mentioned, this king will not hesitate, even to change his life against the heavens, and fight against heaven and earth. A sour man like you is really not worthy of talking to Coats. A swallow magpie like you, who is satisfied with hunger, really can't understand the ambition of the bird. That's it, Bo Cang, let's go. ”

Xiao Yunhe and Wu Yuanheng stood up and walked out. Xue Cuncheng was not in a hurry now, but smiled and said behind Xiao Yunhe's back: "King Han, you don't have to provoke me with these high-sounding truths. In your heart, you have extremely complicated feelings for the emperor. It's so complicated that you don't know how to deal with it and how to face it. This is the biggest taboo in your heart, and the taboo is so taboo that you don't want to touch on it. One day, because of this taboo, you will let yourself be imprisoned, let you go astray, make you miserable, and make you never recover!"

Xiao Yunhe's heart was shocked, and he turned around, looking at this frivolous guy in a little surprise. It was only now that he discovered his uniqueness. Such a pretending to be frivolous is like a sharp dagger, which can be deeply inserted into people's hearts, and the deepest things in the hearts of others can be seen at a glance.

For the old man, for the imperial court, as Xue Cuncheng said, Xiao Yunhe's heart is very complicated. The change of Xuanwu Gate, for him Xiao Yunhe, will always be a lingering shadow and pain in his heart. Reincarnated as a human being, no matter what kind of ambition he has and the courage to change his life against the sky, he has never wanted to let something like Xuanwumen happen again.

People are so complicated. Xiao Yunhe is also a human being, and under the intersection of ambition and private emotion, his heart has struggled and tormented more than once. It was one of the most private areas of his heart, and he never mentioned it to anyone. Even myself, I never thought it clearly. Unexpectedly, today he was broken by Xue Cuncheng, a person who met for the first time.

Wu Yuanheng's expression was also a little nervous, and he looked at King Han and Xue Cuncheng with a slight frown, feeling a little palpitating. Because he knows that King Han is actually a person with very deep feelings. Xue Cuncheng, this time it was really a bit excessive, and he actually stabbed the softest pain in his heart with one word. "Ziming, don't talk nonsense!" Wu Yuanheng couldn't help but persuade from the side.

"What's the matter, you can only listen to good words and pretenses?" Xue Cuncheng sneered, "But can't you listen to the truth? King Han, haven't you been provoking me all the time? But you can't allow me to provoke him?"

Xiao Yunhe squinted his eyes slightly, looking at the arrogant and rude young man in front of him. To tell the truth, he really wanted to kill this man with a sword. However, he also knows better that the more people like this, the more they can't be killed. Just like when he was the emperor, he was so angry with Wei Zheng countless times that he was like thunder, but he also deeply knew that Wei Zheng was a rare talent, a talent who dared to speak and act upright.

He compared Wei Zheng to a mirror, and he deeply understood that a person who looks good or not cannot be angry with the mirror. More importantly, you should find the reason from yourself. People like Xue Cuncheng and Wei Zheng are rare mirrors.

"Someone!" Xiao Yunhe sighed in a deep voice, "Tie up Xue Cuncheng for me and take him away!"

"What are you guys doing?!" Xue Cuncheng was not allowed to argue, and the guards, who had already been holding their breath, had already caught him with all kinds of flowers, stuffed a cotton cloth in his mouth, and threw him into the carriage.

This time, even Wu Yuanheng was a little frightened, and hurriedly said, "My lord, this is ...... I'm afraid there's still something wrong, right?"

Xiao Yunhe sneered: "A person like him, if he doesn't kill his arrogance, he still thinks he can go to the sky." Bo Cang, you don't have to say much about Xue Cuncheng, I have my own way. Now, back to Chengdu. ”

Wu Yuanheng was stunned for a moment, and then laughed a little gracefully, and said secretly in his heart: Xue Cuncheng, he is also going to meet a hard master who can subdue him. King Han is also lacking a hard neck like Xue Cuncheng, who dares to speak and act without fear of death. This pair of ministers is really interesting. I don't know what the two of them will evolve into in the future......

Amid the consternation of the villagers, the group drove away in a carriage and horse. Xue Cuncheng was twisted into a twist, stuffed into the car, and guarded by a guard. From time to time, I heard the sound of a struggle coming from inside, and then the guard was shouting and swearing. Xiao Yunhe secretly laughed in his heart: Xue Cuncheng, Xue Cuncheng, don't blame me for being rude. Weirdos like you can only be dealt with by some unconventional means. The serious ones came to ask you not to go, so I had to tie you up with hemp rope. This is just the right fit for your pride, isn't it?

After walking for a while, Xiao Yunhe still said to Wu Yuanheng: "Later, you go and arrange it." Bring Xue Cuncheng's family members over. persuaded with good words, and said that Xue Cuncheng had already served the king. ”

Wu Yuanheng shook his head and smiled bitterly: "It seems that this is the only way." ”

Xiao Yunhe laughed, and the group set off for Chengdu.

Along the way, except for eating and relieving his hands, Xue Cuncheng has been tied to the carriage. Occasionally let him go, and just wanted to scold, but he was tied up and gagged again. So he had to become honest. In addition to opening your mouth to eat and drink. Other times, keep your mouth shut.

The road was bumpy, and Xue Cuncheng was stuffed in the carriage and suffered a lot. finally arrived at the Han Wangfu in Chengdu, and when he was taken down, his legs were a little unstable. Xiao Yunhe asked someone to carry him into a clean room, and sent a few guards and servants to supervise and serve him, making him look like a prisoner. Xue Cuncheng has been silent since he entered the palace. Eat what you eat, and drink what you drink. Just don't speak.

Xiao Yunhe was not in a hurry, thinking that I would offer you delicious food and drink to see how long you could hold back. Xue Cuncheng complained in his heart: It's good now, I met a landlord who is unreasonable and can be nonsense than me!

Nearly half a month has passed, and Xue Cuncheng still refuses to speak. Ate and slept and ate every day. All fattened up. It wasn't until this day that Wu Yuanheng successfully picked up Xue Cuncheng's old father and mother, and he took the initiative to walk out of the room for the first time. The old father and mother all advised their son to serve the king of Han well and repay the loss. Xue Cuncheng couldn't resist his parents' orders. had to reluctantly agree to serve as the official position of Han Wangfu.

However, as Xiao Yunhe expected. This newly appointed Han Wang Fu is still a clay sculpture Bodhisattva. Although it is enshrined, it does not work. It's just that the place of daze has been replaced with the study of King Han. Every day when Xiao Yunhe was dealing with official business, he would be called to the scene. Xue Cuncheng just sat there, refusing to say a word. Xiao Yunhe was not in a hurry, and deliberately read out some chapters to him, and then talked about his own way of dealing with these things. Xue Cuncheng listened to it in his ears, but he never said a word.

Thereupon. In the study of the Han Wangfu, I often saw such a strange scene: the Han King read it with a folding seal, and a person talking to himself studied the solution; Duan Wang Fu listened quietly, but he never expressed any opinion, and did not even say a word.

Even Wu Yuanheng felt a little funny. I've never seen such a minister. However, only Wu Yuanheng knew that King Han was using his patience and various mental skills. Slowly subdued Xue Cuncheng, an arrogant and eccentric person. Although Xue Cuncheng is frivolous and rude, he still has his own set of principles in major matters. Since he agreed to serve as Duanwangfu, he will take on this responsibility. The reason why he did not say a word was because he thought that the method of the Han king to deal with these folding seals was proper and feasible.

Now that it's all in place, what do you want me to do with nonsense? This is Xue Cuncheng's style.

This situation lasted for a long time, until the arrival of Li Jingluo, the imperial historian of the imperial court.

Li Jingluo was appointed by the Imperial Historical Observatory as the observer of the Jiannan Xichuan Festival, and was in charge of investigating the officials in various parts of Xichuan. Xiao Yunhe was also very happy to receive him and invited him to the Han Palace. He alone built a courtyard for him, which served as the residence of the Observation Envoy of the Chincha Lord. In addition, a Xingyuan office was purchased in Chengdu Mansion as a Qincha Yamen.

When the day was discussed, Xue Cuncheng was also present. When talking about how to evaluate and evaluate officials and implement the official selection system of survival of the fittest, Xue Cuncheng was there as usual and did not say a word. However, when Xiao Yunhe said that he would send people from the Qin Yamen to make secret visits to the people in private to learn about the political achievements and virtues of the magistrates, Xue Cuncheng couldn't sit still anymore, stood up and said loudly: "Isn't this nonsense?!"

His shout was really beyond everyone's expectations, and even Wu Yuanheng was a little stunned. Li Jingluo was naturally shocked and said, "Lord Wang Fu, why do you make such a disrespectful statement?"

Xue Cuncheng snorted coldly and said to Xiao Yunhe: "King Han, if you are an official, you should be honest. Isn't it a villain's act for you to secretly inspect like this? In the long run, the people of Shu will be panicked, and who will still do things with their hearts? They will only think about how to evade the inspection. Moreover, if you use such insidious tricks to inspect others, do you not feel that it is too inferior, and that it is not at all above board? Moreover, in doing so, it is most likely for those who are sent to the Yamen to breed arrogance and arbitrariness. In the long run, the law is lawless, and people only look at the faces of the people in the Qincha Yamen. It's better to abolish the etiquette law, and let the people of Qincha Yamen see who is not pleasing to the eye, and catch and cut it down!"

Li Jingluo suddenly became a little angry: "Xue Ziming, I have no grudges with you in the past days, and we both serve the country, why do you insult me with foul words?!"

Xiao Yunhe stretched out his hand to stop Li Jingluo, thought carefully for a while, and said, "Ziming." What kind of method should be used to check the magistrates, then?"

Xue Cuncheng snorted coldly and said, "I have a sound law, so why should I come to ask me? The officials of Xichuan have long been immersed in an atmosphere of extravagance and laziness. You want a thunderous rectification. Unless all the officials are removed and replaced with someone you think is qualified. But this is obviously unrealistic. Since it is unrealistic, you have to see the facts clearly and take your time. There is nothing wrong with the idea of survival of the fittest. But if you make such an open investigation and secret visit, it will only make the people of Shuzhong panic. Who still has the heart to do political work? They are all thinking about how to avoid trouble! In my opinion...... I, why did I tell you so much, hum!" Speaking of this, Xue Cuncheng seemed to suddenly remember that he shouldn't have said so much, and sat down angrily.

Xiao Yunhe laughed. said to Wu Yuanheng on the side: "Bo Cang, do you think Zi Ming makes sense?"

"Makes sense. Wu Yuanheng was concise and agreed. "We've probably overlooked this layer before. On the premise of stabilizing the situation, we must rectify the rule of officials. If there is a sudden thunderous rectification, I am afraid that there will be something inappropriate. It seems that now is not the time to implement it. Now, we have no choice but to first rectify a group of corrupt officials with a great reputation and a very bad response, so as to set an example for the chickens and monkeys. Then, a complete system of rewards and punishments for officials should be established, so that they themselves have a sense of crisis. Mobilize some enthusiasm. After that, when it is time for evaluation, it is enough to conduct some overt and covert inspections to prevent some people from falsifying their political achievements. As for other places, there are naturally imperial historians who do it according to the regulations. Where there are corrupt officials, there are corrupt officials. Just follow the normal ways and means. ”

Xiao Yunhe asked Li Jingluo again: "What do you think?"

Li Jingluo nodded: "I also think that this will be more appropriate." Although Lord Wang Fu's words were excessive. But there is some truth in it. It is indeed necessary to be cautious when secretly investigating this matter. ”

Xiao Yunhe thought for a while, glanced at Xue Cuncheng, and said, "Okay, this matter will be handled by the three of you collegial." This is my top priority in Xichuan, and I will be in charge of you. ”

Xue Cuncheng immediately said: "What do I have to discuss? What responsibility do you want me to bear? Just let the two of them do it, and they don't have to share it on my head." ”

Xiao Yunhe glanced at him, smiled to himself and walked out. Xue Cuncheng snorted and turned his head to sulk. Wu Yuanheng and Li Jingluo on the side laughed.

Xue Cuncheng is such a person, although his mouth is very hard, he is still quite principled in handling things. I really took this matter seriously with Wu Yuanheng and Li Jingluo. Although he doesn't talk much and does not do much, he often only makes a small and useful comment at a critical time. If Wu Yuanheng is the oar, Li Jingluo is the sail, and the officials the size of Xichuan are all planks on the big ship, then he Xue Cuncheng is the rudder. The three of them worked together to carry the big ship of Xichuan and sailed forward.

It's just that Xue Cuncheng still looks stubborn, just like the stones in the pit are smelly and hard, and he has never given King Han a good look. It's like having a vendetta against him for killing his father. In this regard, Xiao Yunhe almost got used to it, and he still took the trouble to ask him many things. Xue Cuncheng gradually became more talkative, and often expressed his opinions on some things. But he has always been provocative and scolding, and never said a good word.

Xiao Yunhe felt that this Xue Cuncheng was even more stubborn than Wei Zheng, and he was even a little unreasonable. However, some of the things he said were often very reasonable and reasonable. Even some family affairs in the land of the Han Dynasty, he had to kick and scold twice.

It's like that the future Han princess Wu Yuelin is about to arrive, and Xiao Yunhe wants to send someone to Jianzhou to greet her. Xue Cuncheng jumped out and spoke: "The king of Han is the emperor, and Wu Yuelin is just the daughter of an official eunuch and a merchant, so what is there to welcome? What's more, if the king of Han is confident in the security of Xichuan, the land under his rule, there is no reason to send troops to meet him." If you marry and ask the army to greet you, what should the people do if they marry their relatives and travel? Wouldn't it be impossible to walk this road without the army? Such a big show will disturb the people, waste it, and show off it. In order to please a woman and attract three ills, you Han Wang can go if you want. But when the people of Shu scold you, don't involve me Xue Cuncheng. ”

Xiao Yunhe had to dispel this idea with a wry smile, and just sent the two maids in the mansion to Jianzhou to greet Wu Yuelin. At the same time, disaster relief materials sent by the imperial court, Shannan West Road, Fengxiang Mansion and Jingyuan Jiedu also arrived one after another. More than 10 batches before and after, a total of more than 2 million yuan of money and goods, and more than 4 million stones of grain. In addition, Chu Yan also sent a batch of horses, about more than 1,000. Receiving these things, it was busy for a while.

At this time, it is the end of summer and the beginning of autumn, and it is the most likely time for food shortages. The entry of these materials into Shu also happened to solve the urgent need for a while. The production of Shuzhong was quite okay before. As long as we wait for the autumn harvest, we can completely solve the food problem in Shuzhong. At the same time, the troops recruited from various places were about to complete the task of suppressing bandits and exterminating thieves, and began to reclaim military cantonments in various parts of the military town. The economy and people's livelihood in Shuzhong are gradually on the right track.

After a few more days, Ju Wenzhen escorted the prospective princess Wu Yuelin to the Han Palace. Along the way, the scorching summer heat has been going for nearly two months. Wu Yuelin was obviously thin and exhausted. Wu Zhongru actually personally took more than 100 domestic slaves to escort his daughter into Sichuan. The accompanying dowry, as many as more than 20 cars. Along the way, all the envoys and magistrates of the festival tried their best to help escort the Han King and Wu Zhongru in the face of the king, so it was safe.

Xiao Yunhe had already packed up a set of courtyards and settled the Wu family's father and daughter. Just wait for them to rest their bodies and pick an auspicious day, and they will marry a beautiful woman. Wu Zhongru saw that the wedding date was approaching, and finally secretly sighed: This marriage has finally come to an end......

King Han is getting married!

The news spread throughout Xichuan in an instant. Originally, according to Wu Zhongru's plan, his daughter's marriage was to be celebrated no matter what. However, he didn't expect that the prince in charge of this kind of thing in the Han Palace's mansion was an unkind monster!

Xue Cuncheng, who usually finds it difficult to say two sentences in three days, suddenly became active at this time. According to the system, the marriage of the king of Han should be presided over by the king of Han. This is good, Xue Cuncheng set three conditions: no pomp, no dowry, and no banquet.

Is this still a marriage?!Wu Zhongru was a little annoyed, but there was nothing he could do about this three-grade Han prince. Xiao Yunhe also knew that Xue Cuncheng was justified in doing this. At present, Xichuan has just experienced the war, and the lives of the people are still very difficult, and if their marriage is extravagant and wasteful, it will inevitably cause some criticism. At the same time, isn't it precisely now that we are advocating frugality and urging officials to get rid of their bad habits of extravagance and waste? It is also necessary to start with ourselves, so that the upward movement will be effective.

As a result, the wedding of the dignified prince and the festival envoy was very simple and low-key. The officials under the rule of Xichuan Jiedu only sent congratulatory posts to express their congratulations. The palace was simply framed, hung with red silk and set off two firecrackers. The people in the house got together and had a lively time, and only those who were very close to each other came over to drink a few glasses of joyful wine, and it was over. Even the henchmen Tang Hanchen and Song Liangchen, who were defending in Hanzhou, did not let them come over.

In this regard, Wu Zhongru was very unhappy at first, but after learning the truth, he had nothing to say. The twenty carts of rich dowry he brought were also donated by Xiao Yunhe to Xichuan Jiedu in the name of Princess Han to comfort the army.

These measures of King Han made the people of Xichuan quite pleased. Officials, big and small, also woke up and began to change some bad habits. From now on. The wind in Xichuan has blown a wind of advocating thrift and hard work. The previous atmosphere of being fond of flowers and wine, extravagance and wastefulness is slowly fading. Even whoever is extravagant and wasteful will be criticized and scolded by the people of Xichuan.

The ceremony of the wedding was also carried out very simply, and there was no cumbersome etiquette like that of the prince's marriage. After worshipping heaven and earth, the newlywed man entered into the cave house.

Xiao Yunhe took Wu Yuelin's hand and walked into the new house. But she felt like a frightened little sparrow. Shivering from time to time. When she arrived at the new house, Wu Yuelin sat on the edge of the bed a little nervously, wearing a red hood on her head, and sat there without moving.

"...... Wu" Xiao Yunhe was about to call Miss Wu, but thought about it. It's time to change the title, so he called, "Yuelin, it's really hard for you to rush these days." ”

"Thank you for your concern. The concubine's body is good. Wu Yuelin said softly, "It's just my lord, these days I have been fighting and busy with state affairs. It's really hard. ”

Xiao Yunhe smiled, walked to the edge of the bed and sat down, and gently removed the red hijab from Wu Yuelin's head. Wu Yuelin tilted her head shyly, and her face was already flushed, "It's so beautiful...... Xiao Yunhe sighed sincerely. Indeed, Wu Yuelin, who was wearing a big red flower bridal robe, had an indescribable delicate and beautiful state.

Wu Yuelin was ashamed and happy, but she covered her mouth and laughed out loud.

Xiao Yunhe also laughed: "What are you laughing at?"

Wu Yuelin raised her eyes and glanced at Xiao Yunhe, and immediately lowered her head a little shyly. said: "I'm still thinking about the day when you wore golden armor and were going to lead the troops to the battle. It really makes people feel a little ...... for such a mighty general to say such a thing Strange. ”

"Haha, the general is not a man?" Xiao Yunhe laughed. "You're beautiful, I'm just telling the truth. ”

Wu Yuelin curled her mouth slightly. said softly: "Will you still be poor...... It's not like a prince anymore. ”

When Xiao Yunhe saw her delicate and lovely appearance, he couldn't help but feel a burst of pity in his heart, sat on the edge of the bed and hugged her into his arms. Wu Yuelin's body was a little stiff and trembling slightly, but after a while, she leaned her head on Xiao Yunhe's chest and closed her eyes slightly.

"My lord, from today onwards, I am your man. Wu Yuelin bit her lip lightly, her face flushed, and said shyly, "You...... Will you hate me?"

"How come?" Xiao Yunhe patted her on the back lightly and said kindly.

"But ......" Wu Yuelin hesitated for a moment, but still said, "Outsiders say that the Han Wangfu and our Wu family are married because of some interests. None of us have any feelings. Will you be embarrassed by ...... For this reason, and don't care about me?"

Xiao Yunhe's heart trembled slightly, thinking that this Wu Yuelin is really a clever and very frank woman. So he said: "It's not a secret, there are some interest considerations. Still, I like you too. That's enough, isn't it?"

"Really?" Wu Yuelin opened her eyes, a happy flush on her face, and buried her head in Xiao Yunhe's chest.

Xiao Yunhe took her into his arms and hugged her tighter: "It's true......"

After many years, Xiao Yunhe finally got the excitement of being a beautiful woman again. Although he and Wu Yuelin really have no feelings. But such a lovely woman will be liked by anyone.

The impulsiveness of a man, on the contrary, made him more gentle. In the cave room, there was a burst of spring. When that piece of flying red fell, Wu Yuelin hugged Xiao Yunhe tightly and rolled off two drops of her eyes. She knew that from this moment on, she would always be with this man in her life. These two tears, whether happy or painful, bear witness to this most meaningful moment in her life. From now on, King Han is her night of warmth, and at dawn, Wu Yuelin slept sweetly in Xiao Yunhe's arms. She curled up and leaned gently into Xiao Yunhe's arm. On the white jade-like face, a little blush has not yet dissipated, which is extremely attractive. Xiao Yunhe gently stroked her jade-like back, and sighed softly in his heart: Reborn as a human being, I can be regarded as having the closest relatives...... Wu Yuelin, although we are only a brown political marriage together, I still hope to grow old with you. After all, a marriage that spans a hundred years is not available to everyone.

It's dawn. Wu Yuelin's two maids came in to wait for the newcomer to get up. Wu Yuelin opened her eyes, glanced at the man in front of her, and buried her head in the quilt with shame and shame. arm, but tightly hugged Xiao Yunhe's chest. The beauty is like jade, and Xiao Yunhe almost has the impulse again. After hugging her and kissing her for a long time, the two got up lazily.

After that, of course, the family has breakfast together. Wu Zhongru finally completed his daughter's marriage. Seeing her enter the cave room with my own eyes, I was in a good mood. The newcomer worshipped the high hall, and Xiao Yunhe also changed his mouth to call Wu Zhongru his father-in-law, which made him laugh.

In the palace of the king of Han, he was happy for a while.

It's just weird. It was almost noon, and Xiao Yunhe didn't see Wu Qiyun and Sophie. He thought to himself, I'm married, these two people...... I don't know where to hide, I sighed. Although they never said anything, it was not until Wu Yuelin entered the mansion. Wu Qiyun never came to him again. Moreover, Sophie, who usually stays by Xiao Yunhe's side like a shadow, has also been in a trance these days. There is always a bit of a distraught look.

Xiao Yunhe smiled secretly: Women, it's always like this.

Wu Yuelin is worthy of being everyone's best girl and has received an excellent tutor. Since she is married to a woman, she immediately has the appearance of Princess Han. Originally, Xiao Yunhe expected that a pampered rich woman like her would be a little lazy or difficult to serve. Unexpectedly, Wu Yuelin was not only very easy-going, but also very kind to her subordinates. I'm also very diligent. Han Wang's diet and daily life, she has to personally inquire. Sometimes, I even bring soup and tea myself. When the food came to open his mouth, and the clothes came to stretch out his hand, he almost served Xiao Yunhe like an emperor. And it is a little different from Sophie's meticulousness, Wu Yuelin is the wife of King Han's famous media after all. And there is a skin-to-skin kiss. The intimacy between the two is incomparable to that of Sophie. So. Sophie became more and more like she had been neglected out in the cold. When the princess was nearby, I couldn't see her shadow. Xiao Yunhe didn't know Sophie's thoughts, and told Wu Yuelin the truth about her. Wu Yuelin was very generous, so she transferred Sophie to her side, as a close maid, and served the King of Han together.

After all, Sophie is just a subordinate, and she has some scruples in her heart about whether this new hostess will be disgusted with her. However, Wu Yuelin's move suddenly dispelled this concern, and restored the liveliness and optimism of the past. After all, in her heart, as long as she can serve by King Han's side, nothing else matters.

In this way, in the palace of the Han king, there is a hostess. Big or small family matters, basically Xiao Yunhe doesn't have to worry about it. Wu Yuelin, the new princess, has become the head of the palace in the actual sense, and she is very competent and very popular. The princess of Dihan, who has just arrived, has also been recognized by everyone in the palace in the shortest possible time.

After about five or six days, the Han Palace, which had been lively for a while, also regained its former tranquility. Xiao Yunhe's life is also on the right track, and he has begun to deal with official business every day. The feeling of having a home and having loved ones is different. After dealing with official business every day, Xiao Yunhe no longer feels empty and bored, because he has his wife with him. Wu Yuelin is a very low-key, quiet and delicate woman, and by her side, it is like a spring breeze. Everyone found that the King of Han was lighter and more refreshed than before.

In the afternoon of this day, Xiao Yunhe was in his study reviewing some autumn harvest reports sent by various states and counties. Ju Wenzhen walked into the study with a box, and said with some embarrassment: "My lord, someone has sent something." ”

Xiao Yunhe didn't raise his eyes, just looked at the fold, and said, "For no reason, who will come to deliver something." Just give it back to others, who asked you to accept it. ”

"I can't go back!" said Ju Wenzhen, "Today I went out to the market to buy food, and a man came over quickly, and stuffed this box in my hand, along with a letter. Your Excellency, you'd better see for yourself!" he handed over a letter.

Xiao Yunhe felt a little strange, put down the fold in his hand, picked up the letter and opened it to read. When he opened the envelope just now, a faint fragrance of camellia made his heart tremble slightly. Unfolded the letter, and sure enough, it was the familiar handwriting: "Wenjun's wedding, congratulations are late, don't blame it." There is no good gift in the remote place, so he personally weaves a gold silk shawl and gives it to the princess. May the couple be deeply affectionate and forever united. In the East Women's Country, Dugu Moyi worshipped. ”

Xiao Yunhe was surprised and delighted in his heart, he didn't expect that Mo Yi actually knew about his marriage and sent someone to give a gift! In this way, she must have received the letter I wrote before, and the person is naturally safe and sound? This is great!

Xiao Yunhe opened the box, and inside was neatly folded a shawl made of fine silk and gold wire. It can be seen that the craftsmanship is very similar to the gold silk robe worn by the little queen before, and it is the clothing of the people of the Eastern Women's Kingdom. It's just that the people of the Eastern Women's Kingdom don't like to put shawls on their shoulders, and the little queen also gave such a gift according to the habit of Daqi.

Ju Wenzhen watched for a long time, and saw that King Han was actually a little excited, as if he liked this gift, and said in a daze: "My lord, you have given a strict order not to accept gifts from outsiders in the palace, how can you ...... today?" Now in the Han Palace, everyone knows that Xue Cuncheng is a stinky and hard stone, and even the King of Han is a little afraid of him.

Xiao Yunhe glared at Ju Wenzhen hatefully: "Get out!"

Ju Wenzhen was shocked and retreated.

Xiao Yunhe turned his head to look at Xue Cuncheng, and said with a dry smile: "Ziming, this ...... It was a personal gift from a dear friend of mine. ”

Xue Cuncheng made an expression of indifference, and glanced at Xiao Yunhe: "Since it's a private matter, why do you want to ask me?"

"Oh......" Xiao Yunhe replied casually, folded the shawl and put it back in the box, and walked towards the outside of the study. In my heart, I was thinking: stinky stones, in fact, are still a little close to human feelings.

Xiao Yunhe handed over the gift to Wu Yuelin. Wu Yuelin put it on her body, and she really looked more and more dignified and noble. When she learned the origin of the shawl, Wu Yuelin didn't show any jealousy, but said with some surprise: "Is that the woman who lived in the Han Palace's mansion before, and later blocked the sword for you and was injured?"

Xiao Yunhe smiled and said, "Yes, it's her." ”

Wu Yuelin caressed the shawl and said softly: "She is a good woman. And she must really like adults......"

After a few months in Shu and the turmoil and hesitation at the beginning, now Yiqiē has finally settled down. Xiao Yunhe sighed secretly, it was finally time for him to start preparing to train his own iron-blooded warrior.

No matter how the government is run and how stable the people's livelihood is, without an army of steel, in the current world, everything is vain. Only when we have real military power in our hands can we have the ability and possibility to talk about doing other things. Xiao Yunhe, an emperor born on horseback, knows this truth better than anyone else.

In the past few months, in order to exterminate the thieves and bandits in Xichuan, all prefectures and counties have been allowed to recruit mercenaries. Now that law and order have been restored, it is time to take back these powers. Xiao Yunhe issued a decree to the envoys, ordering all prefectures and counties to hand over all soldiers and horses, leaving only the number of servants and arresters specified in the law to maintain law and order in the prefectures and counties. After the order was issued, the following states and counties did not dare to delay, and within half a month, all the collected soldiers and horses were handed over to Chengdu. 20,000 soldiers and 8,000 Yunnan horses, the number is not a few.

After Xiao Yunhe began to rectify the rule of officials and vigorously cut down the extravagant atmosphere of officialdom, officials everywhere raised their spirits and did not dare to come nonsense. In the past, a large amount of money spent on drinking banquets, singing and dancing every month was used for military and political affairs. From the Dian horses purchased here, you can see a little effect. At first, these places in Xichuan were basically infantry, and there were as many horses as there were. The Tibetan plateau iron cavalry came to kill, and it was impossible to resist at all. Now the situation has improved greatly, and the prefectures and counties under Xichuan's rule, under Xiao Yunhe's vigorous advocacy, have also begun to purchase horses to match the cavalry.

It's just that although the Dian horse has excellent endurance, it has a short body and is not very explosive and impactful. It is more suitable to be used as a pack horse, saying that it is to fight against iron horsemen like Tubo. I'm afraid it's not enough. What's more, the people in Shu were not particularly good at fighting on horseback, which made Xiao Yunhe somewhat distressed.
