24 Chapter 24

It's too much of a resemblance.

Fang Linyuan's eyes have always been bright, although he only glanced at it, he clearly saw that the figure of the person was exactly the same as Zhao Pu.

The wind blew just now, and in the afterglow, Fang Linyuan even swept a glance at the man's right hand covered with a piece of white, like a ribbon to bandage a wound.

The man's long hat covered his face, Fang Linyuan couldn't see it, and hurriedly took advantage of the wind that had not yet stopped, and looked there fixedly.

"What is Master Hou looking at?" Yu Tao was also attracted by Fang Linyuan.

But the downtown of Shangjing was bustling, and when Fang Linyuan looked straight at it, the figure of that person had disappeared into the street.

He paused and replied, "Ah, it's fine. It's to see a person passing by, who looks like ...... My wife. ”

When Yu Tao heard this, he hurriedly stepped on his feet and looked out.

But there were people coming and going downstairs in Yuehua, and all the people in ordinary clothes were everywhere.

If the real princess comes, not only will there be conspicuous honor guards and horses, but they must also be gorgeously dressed and full of flowers, right? At this glance, there will never be a trace of the princess, why did the Hou Ye see through all his eyes?

Yu Tao couldn't help but smile playfully and looked at Fang Linyuan.

It is said that the Hou Ye has admired the princess for a long time, and what he said is true. Even the people who pass by casually on the street can see the appearance of a princess, and he really remembers the princess to the extreme!

At this moment, a colleague on the side smiled and said, "Lord Yu, what are you doing with Master Hou by the window?" If you want to avoid drinking, you have to ask us if you agree! ”

Yu Tao smiled: "Where is the hiding from wine?" It was Hou Ye who saw someone outside the window who looked like the Fifth Highness, and I accompanied Hou Ye to look for it! ”

Fang Linyuan was stunned for a moment, then quickly turned his head and motioned for Yu Tao to say no more.

But everyone here was already laughing.

"It is said that the Hou Ye is amorous, and now I really teach me to wait to see the real chapter!"

"So, can Master Hou find the princess?"

"With just this one meal of wine, Master Hou misses his wife like this? It's better for us to disperse earlier, so as not to teach the marquis to look through the autumn water......"

When this group of civil officials talk about the gossip of other people's homes, they are not much better than the old women at the entrance of the alley. Zhuo Fangyou next to him didn't have such good eloquence as them, so he just patted his legs and laughed.

Fang Linyuan's teeth were about to be crushed.

Stop laughing, what's so funny! The figure of the person just now really looks like Zhao Pu, I don't believe it, I'll show it to you in a while!

And when the rumors were outside, he didn't dare to show an unhappy look seriously, so he had to laugh awkwardly in their whispers, sit down, and drink the wine from his glass with his head up.

He took the wine cup to cover the bitter curvature of the corners of his mouth.

Forget it, it doesn't matter, forget it. Naren Timur is about to get out, and when he is gone, he will return to the border himself, and then he will say whatever they say.

——

When Fang Linyuan returned home, he also specially asked the porter Zhao Pu if he had gone out today.

The attendant in the porter said that the lady had been recuperating from her wounds for the past few days, and had not gone out.

Think about it too. Thinking that Fang had just seen the man wearing men's clothes, Fang Linyuan didn't think much about it and left the matter behind.

The next day, he was summoned into the palace by the emperor.

As Yu Tao told him in advance, the Son of Heaven on the dragon chair had a sad face.

"Fang Qing, I summoned you to the palace today, because I can't make up my mind about something, and I want to ask your opinion." Emperor Hongyou said.

"Your Majesty, please speak."

"Naren Timur said that he had been widowed for many years and wanted to ask me to marry a Han girl. I thought that the Turks were a wild land, and whether it was marrying a princess, a county lord, or the daughter of a courtier, it would be too much for him to exalt him, so he did not agree. Emperor Hongyou said.

"What Your Majesty said is very true." Fang Linyuan said.

"It's just that Naren Timur will never let go, yesterday Sang Shilang proposed to me to choose a beautiful palace maid from the palace, and marry into the Turks as the county lord, following the beautiful talk of Zhaojun out of the fortress that day." Emperor Hongyou said. “

Aiqing returned from the outside of the Saiwai, I thought about it, and I still want to hear what you mean. ”

Fang Linyuan did not hesitate, bowed his head, and saluted Emperor Hongyou.

"If Your Majesty asks Weichen about his humble opinion, Weichen can't make up his mind. But the minister has been stationed in the tiger prison for many years, and one thing is very clear. ”

"Aiqing just speaks bluntly."

"Today's Turks are not the Xiongnu supported by the Han, and the disciples of Naren Timur are not the Huhan evil who was willing to be a vassal in the past."

"Huh?" Emperor Hongyou asked when he heard this. "Where did Aiqing start with this?"

"Naren Timur's wife died in a dream when he saw his infidelity, so he woke up and killed her with a sword." Fang Linyuan said. "Although the palace maid is not a princess, she is a Han girl who I bless. The ministers privately thought that as long as the guards of Yumen Pass were stationed at the city gate for one day, they would be villains in prison and prostitutes in Qinglou, and they would not be able to marry this bloodthirsty and indiscriminate murderer for a day. ”

Speaking of this, Fang Linyuan paused heavily.

"If I and thousands of soldiers can't even protect a weak female streamer, how can we talk about guarding Daxuan for ten thousand years?"

Emperor Hongyou fell silent.

For a long time, he sighed heavily.

"Why don't I think so?" He said. But the brute bit him to death and refused to let go. The two sides negotiated peace, and the ability was in the people's livelihood and national plan, but now they are entangled, and I really have no choice. ”

Fang Linyuan was silent for a moment and kowtowed.

"You might be able to give it a try."

——

The snow gradually melted, and the begonias in front of Zhao Pu's window gradually picked up the buds of branches and leaves, casting a clear and oblique sun shadow on the flower window.

Although spring is not in full bloom, there are already peonies from the flower house sent to Zhao Pu's pavilion. Zhao Pu sat under the window, although the palm of his right hand was wrapped in silk yarn, he seemed to be unconscious, slowly pruning the flower branches.

Wu Xinghai put the letter sent by Dongchang on Zhao Pu's desk with both hands.

"Your Highness, time

A letter from my father-in-law. Wu Xinghai said. The person who sent the letter specially asked the slave maid, whether the Marquis of Anping entered the court hall today to discuss the matter, and whether he had your permission. ”

Zhao Pu's subordinates paused, and turned their heads to look at Wu Xinghai.

Naren Timur entered Beijing to negotiate peace, and now the court hall is the place where Naren Timur and the courtiers discussed the content of the contract.

"He entered the court hall today?" He asked.

Wu Xinghai nodded and said, "The slave also knew about it just now." ”

"Go and ask."

I saw that Zhao Pu's eyes sank and he put down the silver scissors.

Wu Xinghai was startled by his suddenly condensed gaze, and hurriedly responded and retreated.

Zhao Pu picked up the envelope on the table.

Fang Linyuan is facing the saint today, it must be the idea that Emperor Hongyou is not sure whether to marry a daughter, and wants to ask Fang Linyuan's meaning. There are endless disputes in the court, presumably there are still a few days to quarrel, Emperor Hongyou has always been cautious, and after asking Fang Linyuan's thoughts, he will definitely consider it for two days.

But why was Fang Linyuan sent to negotiate with Naren Timur today?

The letter in Zhao Pu's hand didn't turn to the second page for a long time.

Song Yan put the hot tea in Zhao Xuan's hand, paused for a moment, and asked in a low voice, "Your Highness is upset?" ”

Zhao Xuan's subordinates paused slightly.

When he raised his eyes, he saw that Songyan's eyebrows were lowered, and his expression was as plain as a dummy.

She's always been like that. Zhao Pu was raised by her since she was a child, and she rarely showed an extra expression for more than ten years.

"It's okay, Mama doesn't have to worry." Zhao Pu said.

Is he upset? Self no. Songyan has always been sophisticated, and his eyes are vicious and sharp, but he doesn't want to have a time when this old horse stumbles.

Thinking so, Zhao Pu calmly put down the secret letter that he had only read the first line, picked up the tea on the table and took a sip.

It was so strong that he was sometimes undecided, and Songyan would deliberately brew it to calm him up.

Bring sand to the beach.

Zhao Xuan lowered his eyes and took another sip.

What's the matter with Wu Xinghai, let him inquire about the news in the palace, but he hasn't come back yet?

Fang Linyuan is a military general, how do you know the twists and turns between civil officials? The day before yesterday, the palace handed over a list of officials who had negotiated the contract, led by Sang Zhixin's fellow villagers, and most of the rest were people under Zhao Jin's uncle Su Xiang.

This was originally Zhao Pu's trap, which made Zhao Jin mistakenly think that he had grabbed the benefits, and then went to fight with Sang Zhixin, while his men retreated and waited for the two tigers to fight.

But now, there is no one of his own in the court's palace, which makes Zhao Xuan feel very annoyed.

Surrounded by tigers and wolves, the entire court hall couldn't make up a good thing, and I don't know how Fang Linyuan suddenly received the order, how to deal with himself.

He took a sip and another sip, the bitter breath soaked his lips and tongue, but he didn't put down the teacup for a long time.

Just then, footsteps were heard outside the door.

Zhao Xuan raised his eyes suddenly, but saw that it was not Wu Xinghai, but the silk waiting outside the door.

Zhao Pu's expression sank.

But before he could speak, he saw the silk outside the door and said, "Your Highness, the porter came up to say that Marquis Anping has returned home." ”

Zhao Xuan's subordinates paused slightly: "So fast? ”

"It was said that Gonggong Huang in the palace personally sent it back." Silk said. "Gonggong Wu specially ordered someone to send a message back and ask His Highness if he wanted to see Marquis Anping."

——

Fang Linyuan had just returned to Fuguangxuan, and before he had time to take a sip of tea, he heard a report from the attendant, saying that Her Royal Highness the princess had something to do and asked him to go to Huaiyu Pavilion.

Zhao Pu's news is too well-informed!

There was nothing to do right now, thinking that Zhao Puxu was going to ask about the Turkic peace, Fang Linyuan went straight to Huaiyu Pavilion without delay.

As soon as I arrived in the bedroom, I saw Zhao Xuan arranging flowers.

Fang Linyuan couldn't help but look at it twice.

He didn't understand this very well, just looking at the colorful flowers in the bottle in front of Zhao Pu, it was very good-looking. The scissors in his hand looked like they were made of snowflake silver, and they were inlaid with colored gems, which looked more dazzling than the vase of flowers.

The subordinates had already been pulled out, and Fang Linyuan saw that there was no one left and right, so he sat down in front of Zhao Pu.

Zhao Xuan was still hanging his eyebrows, holding the flower branch in one hand, and with two clicks of scissors, the branches and leaves were neatly trimmed.

"Are you ready?" Seeing this, Fang Linyuan asked unexpectedly.

I saw Zhao Pu hum and put down the scissors.

"You just entered the palace and went to the court hall?" Zhao Pu asked.

Fang Linyuan nodded when he heard this, "Yes." Naren Timur wanted to marry a Han girl, and the emperor asked me to negotiate with him. ”

"You said you moved him?" Zhao Pu asked.

"Naren Timur promised not to mention the matter of asking for marriage again." Speaking of this, Fang Linyuan laughed.

"Your Majesty wants to keep me drinking in the palace for this reason, but those civil officials are really powerful, so I quickly excused myself."

He didn't know that he was a very good-looking picture when he laughed, and he didn't see it, Zhao Pu, who was looking down at the flower branches, also bent the corners of his mouth slightly with him.

Fang Linyuan didn't realize it. Speaking of this, he suddenly remembered something, and said: "Speaking of which, I am grateful to you for such a smooth day." ”

I saw Zhao Pu stop the scissors, raised his eyes to look at him, and waited for his next step.

Xu is the weather is good today, and when Fang Linyuan met Zhao Pu's eyes, he found for the first time that those eyes were not so much like snakes.

There are even faint shadows of laughter, like the shimmering waves under the thin ice on the surface of the water at the beginning of winter.

Zhao Pu may really like flower arrangement.

Fang Linyuan couldn't help but turn his eyes away and look at the vase of flowers again.

It's just that he really doesn't understand elegance, and he still can't see where this vase of flowers attracts Zhao Pu to like it so much. :,,.
