Tonight, five years of Yongyan, it has been twenty years since the founding of Great Xia.

Luoyang, the capital of the gods, was just after the end of the early dynasty.

In the Imperial Garden, a middle-aged man dressed in a dragon robe stood on the Minghu Bridge-

He took out a handful of bait from the gilded calendula and threw it into the lake, watching countless koi fish leap out of the water to grab food......

This kind of dignity is none other than the second emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty, Gao Jing!

The sound of splashing water on the lake was swaying, Gao Jing shook his head indifferently, and said to the young man in white beside him: "The fish compete for food, and I only feel noisy. ”

The young man saw that His Majesty was upset, and suggested with a light smile: "Why don't you accompany Your Majesty to play?" ”

Gao Jing glanced at the Go chessboard on the turquoise table, and said, "It's okay, play chess!" ”

The young man in white took a chess piece full of black and white pieces, and waited for His Majesty the Emperor to sit down slowly before he sat down.

This young man in white is the upstart of the temple of the Great Xia Dynasty recently. He is now in a high-ranking position, but unlike those who are not able to embroider birds and birds at every turn, the young man is only dressed in white plain clothes, with a scholarly temperament around him, but he can see the spirit of a spring breeze in his eyes.

Chao for Tian Shelang, twilight to the Tianzi Hall!

This is what this young imperial doctor is talking about, Hang Tianjiu.

Who would have thought that Dr. Hang, who can be called a step to the sky, only entered the temple for the first time last year under the leadership of King Jiangling, and at the age of only twenty-three, he got the official position of the sixth squire. The position of squire is a close minister of the emperor's side, so he is deeply appreciated, and he has been promoted again and again.

Now Dr. Hang is the emperor's side official, who can supervise the ministers and perform ceremonies! The status is only below the three dukes and the prime minister.

Many old ministers who have worked hard for most of their lives can be regarded as stable from the Sanpin Guanglu doctor, and their eyes are red when they see the speed at which this white-faced scholar is soaring, and all of them form parties and exclude them. Civilian officials are still like this, let alone military generals who make military achievements in the sea of blood!

Just a few days ago, a hot-tempered general Qianniu asked Hang Qianjiu's son He De in court how he could take on a big responsibility, and the result caused His Majesty Long Yan, who has always been lenient, to be angry.

Back on the turquoise chess table, Gao Jingmeiyu tightened his worries, looked at the black and white chess pieces dotted on the board, and suddenly asked: "Do you know about the fall of the Yangzhou Wu family?" ”

Hang Tianjiu nodded, "Back to Your Majesty, Weichen just knew about this." ”

Gao Jing said, "I want to hear your thoughts. ”

Hang Tianjiu's eyes were upright, and he replied without the slightest hesitation: "Wu Yue, the head of the Wu family, controls the three-point trade in the south of the Yangtze River, and his eyes are all over the ten state cities, and the Wu family is of great use to His Majesty." However! The Wu clan is also a sure fact, Weichen came from the people, young and poor, and hated the suffering of such tyrannical people. ”

Gao Jing's eyebrows were not emotional, "So, Wu deserves to die?" ”

Hang Tianjiu said awe-inspiringly: "Your Majesty, there is more than enough to die!" ”

Gao Jing laughed loudly: "I believe what you say. The Wu clan is in turmoil, I naturally know, but unfortunately his clan has been loyal to the Shendu for generations, and I don't want to cool people's hearts, so this wicked person cooked by rabbits and dead dogs can't be me! Since the two princes of mine are willing to rid the people of trouble, it is also a good thing. ”

Gao Jing stared at the black chess pieces in his hand with a cold expression.

His Majesty the Emperor Huo Ran said to himself: "It's just Xiao'er, if you uproot the marionettes I arranged one by one, I won't be able to tolerate you." ”

A chill surged into his heart for a long time, and he hurriedly got up, bowed down and said, "Your Majesty is angry!" ”

Gao Jing landed on the chessboard, made a crisp sound, and asked calmly: "Tilt for a long time, the rule of this game of Go is to occupy it step by step from the edge to the center, and at the same time grab the opponent's territory. Is this like - the king with a different surname in Jiangnan? ”

Hang Tianjiu knew the holy will, raised his eyes and said resolutely: "It's not like that." Although King Su is a powerful prince, he is still the king of the Great Xia domain, and His Majesty's imperial power is supreme! ”

The corners of Gao Jing's mouth curved slightly, "The entire Great Xia Temple is eager for King Su to die, and you will speak for King Su in this Yangcheng Palace." ”

Hang Tianjiu said frankly: "As a speech official, the minister has no selfish intentions, please Your Majesty Mingjian!" ”

The Manchu Dynasty knew that Hang Tingjiu was brought into the temple by Gao Chunfeng, the king of Jiangling, and Hang Tianjiu, who was still a scholar in cloth clothes at that time, won His Majesty's favor with his talent and fairness. After the official residence of the Imperial Doctor, Hang Tianjiu never deliberately avoided suspicion and suppressed King Su, who had a close relationship with King Jiangling, and was like an outlier in the Daxia temple where hundreds of officials only knew how to figure out the Holy Will.

However, no one even dared to be sure whether the Holy Will really wanted to cut the feudal domain......

Gao Jing asked: "I heard that the courtiers have a small circle to exclude you?" ”

Hang Tianjiu was pampered and humiliated: "The ministers eat the son of heaven, and they have no intention of bits and pieces outside the government." ”

Gao Jing praised: "You are not afraid of power, it must be my late Ten Emperor Brother who made a good start for you." ”

Hang Tianjiu said: "The king of Jiangling cares about the common people, and he is not afraid of life and death, and Weichen has always admired him, and Weichen's words and paths are also in line with the prince." ”

Gao Jing asked, "What kind of words?" ”

Facing His Majesty the Emperor for a long time, Hang Tianjiu said: "Today's ministers are still apprehensive because of the defeat in the battle of Xia Yin and Longnan two years ago, and it has become a trend to cut the feudal domain internally every day, and they still ignore the Wuyin Dynasty, the Northern Jin Dynasty and other border enemies outside the territory!" Since the collapse of the Youxia Kingdom a hundred years ago, and the late Sui Dynasty took the opportunity to steal the country, the world has been divided for more than 90 years, and the Great Xia Dynasty is far from unifying the world. If the Shendu only intends to consume the internal friction of the royal land, it will only allow Wu Yin, who is dominant in the Western Regions, and the Northern Jin Dynasty, which has deep roots, to take advantage of it first! ”

The Ming and Huang dragon robes are exclusive to the emperors of the world, but there are not only emperors in the world, but also the Northern Jin Dynasty and Wu Yin!

Gao Jing knew this, but he didn't want to listen to this in the imperial capital, so he frowned and said: "Tilt for a long time, this is my imperial garden, you are not a Yanguan now, just a brother-in-law who accompanies me to play chess." ”

Seeing that Hang was in a posture for a long time, Gao Jing finally bowed his head and said: "Okay, okay, the gentleman's deeds are no matter what he wants, I have heard what you say!" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Hang poured a long time to thank him.

Gao Jing said with a smile: "By the way, the Queen Mother will marry Princess Linchuan to you, but are you still satisfied with this marriage?" ”

Hang Tianjiu lowered his eyes and said: "Weichen is a cloth cloth, in his previous life, he cultivated eight lifetimes of blessings in exchange for his marriage with the princess, how can there be any reason to be dissatisfied......"

Gao Jing sighed: "That's good, my sister, it's good anywhere, but her temper is too stubborn...... I favored her, the queen mother was even more favored, and Bang'er herself brewed a good wine art, which attracted the joy of the royal family. Speaking of which, the imperial wine brewed by Bang'er in the Imperial City Wine Shop has also been tasted by me, the Queen Mother and several royal nobles, have you ever drunk it? ”

When it comes to winemaking, Hang Tianjiu was stunned for a long time because of the old things, and his heart fluctuated as smoothly as water, and he answered His Majesty's question for a long time: "I tasted it, the princess's wine is indeed a rare wine." ”

Gao Jing was pleased: "Hahaha, it's good to taste it!" Bang'er rarely lets people drink her wine, so that the arrogant Bang'er can be satisfied with you, a wishful man, I really didn't misunderstand you! ”

Hang Tianjiu said: "Your Majesty has a good reputation. ”

At this time, the chief eunuch Li Zhenchang stepped forward and leaned over next to the emperor to remind: "Your Majesty, the queen has been here for a long time. ”

Gao Jing turned around and was surprised to find that the empress's eldest grandson, Lilan, had been standing behind him for a long time.

Hang took two steps back and knelt down to worship.

The eldest grandson Lilan was graceful and luxurious, his phoenix eyes were light, and he said calmly: "No need to be polite, Doctor Hang is flat." ”

"Xie Niangniang."

Gao Jing waved his dragon sleeves and scolded Li Zhenchang on the side: "What a good slave, I don't know what to say when the queen comes?" ”

The eldest grandson Lilan shook his head and said, "Your Majesty is angry, because the concubine doesn't want to disturb the chess game between Your Majesty and Doctor Hang. ”

Li Zhen often served the two emperors for 20 years, was loyal, and was smiling when he was scolded, and moved the jade throne to the empress.

The eldest grandson, Lilan, personally took the robe and covered it for the emperor, and said softly: "Your Majesty, it's not too early, let's eat in the imperial garden today, right?" ”

Seeing the emperor's bow, Li Zhenchang immediately bowed down and said, "Then the slave has gone to prepare lunch for His Majesty and Niangniang." ”

Gao Jing raised his hand, "Go ahead." ”

The emperor and queen of the Great Xia Dynasty rarely gathered in the imperial garden, and Li Zhen often had great insight and left quietly with Hang Tianjiu and a group of palace maids and eunuchs.

The eldest grandson Lilan wiped the beads of sweat on the emperor's forehead with a brocade silk and asked with concern, "What did Your Majesty and Doctor Hang talk about?" I'm still so tired after going to court. ”

Gao Jing took a long breath, lay on the antler chair, and said, "Hang Qianjiu said before that the ministers only know how to figure out their intentions and despise the great enemy of the frontier. In the twenty years since the founding of Great Xia, except for the battle of the Later Tang Dynasty and Longnan after I ascended the throne thanks to the first emperor Yu Yin, there has never been a major war. The ministers have been idle for a long time, and all of them have a happy heart, Hang has been talking about him for a long time, where are the ministers? It's clearly me! ”

The eldest grandson Lilan kneaded his arm for the tired Gao Jing, and said softly: "Meng Ziyun was born in sorrow and died in peace, and it is always good for Your Majesty to have an official like Doctor Hang." ”

Gao Jing said calmly: "Don't worry, I don't plan to kill him. ”

The eldest grandson Lilan was gentle and frugal, and said softly: "The concubine knows." After His Majesty succeeded to the throne, he lightly gave away his meager endowments and rested with the people, and his benevolence was known all over the world, how could the concubines not know? It's just that Mrs. Yan and General Di are all old, and His Majesty always needs young and promising ministers who don't form parties and engage in personal gain, and the concubines only hope that there are more people like Dr. Hang who dare to speak out, the better. ”

Gao Jing said with a smile: "The national teacher Xun Xu and the prime minister Li Mi are in high positions and have divided the two factions. Compared to them, Hang Tianjiu can only be loyal to me like Mrs. Yan, and it is indeed beyond the ability of others to replace him. But ah! For people like him, one or two are enough, and no matter how much I can't get tired of dying? ”

The eldest grandson Lilan was relieved when he saw that His Majesty the Emperor was in a better mood.

Gao Jing suddenly mentioned: "A few days ago, Xiao'er went down to Tiandao Mountain, how long have we not seen him?" ”

The eldest grandson Lilan smiled lightly: "The concubine remembers...... The last time we met, it was at the state banquet of the Tang Dynasty after His Majesty pacified it five years ago. I heard that King Su is very handsome now, and he looks like the eldest princess of Wuyang. ”

Gao Jing patted the back of the queen's hand and said indifferently: "I will say this." I want to hear your thoughts, if he is in charge of the four states of Suzhou, will he become a hidden danger to the dynasty? ”

The eldest grandson Lilan shook his head and said: "The concubines don't understand these things, the concubines only know that the eldest princess of Wuyang did her best to worry about Her Majesty's accession to the throne back then, and King Su is the child of the eldest princess, so she shouldn't be able to do anything rebellious." ”

Gao Jing thought of the royal bloodline and said angrily; "Yes, I only have one sister in Wuyang, and only one nephew in Xiao'er. Su Di still has the old lady Su who supports me to sit firmly on the dragon chair, how can those ministers who admonish the feudal clan every day understand my difficulties? ”

The eldest grandson Lilan accompanied Gao Jing by his side, never leaving an inch.

Gao Jing's long eyes slowly narrowed, and he sighed in a deep voice: "Why did the young unicorn grow up in the blink of an eye?" ”

The Great Xia Emperor sat in the north and faced south, looking out of the palace of the Divine Capital Yangcheng, that is, in the direction of Sudi-

"I can't even hold it."
