Neither of these pleas was for herself, and the Emperor still felt that it was a scene. She could have agreed, but after agreeing, she couldn't get a glimpse of Xue Yuxiao's true heart. When a capable minister's heart cannot be spied on, Xie Fu would rather not use it.

Xue Yuxiao paused for a moment and continued: "Furthermore, please treat Your Majesty's eldest brother well, it is cold in winter, he is raised in the deep palace, if the phoenix body is lost, the minister's heart will be uneasy." ”

The eyes of the two collided in mid-air, the corners of Xie Fu's lips raised slightly, and she understood the hint of threat revealed by Xue Yuxiao-it was precisely this threat that made her not feel angry, but bowed her head: "I treat Fengjun as the most precious and important, and I will never let him make a mistake." ”

Xue Yuxiao nodded, and finally said: "Dasi Nong is worried about the Furong lady, and he must be very willing to help with the matter of the land severance inspection...... The merits and demerits are offset, so let Li Furong go. Let the minister be the messenger, is there still an arrogant woman who wants to behead the minister? ”

Xie Fu happily agreed: "Okay! ”

She was completely relieved, her attitude changed immediately, she stretched out her hand to hold Xue Yuxiao and greeted her cordially, eager to ask her if she ate well and slept soundly, and said: "Xue Qing is really my son's room." ”

At this time, Xie Fu was glad that Xie Si didn't have anything to do with her at the beginning, otherwise if she became a lieutenant, there would be one less such minister in the government and the opposition, which would make Xie Fu heartbroken.

Xue Yuxiao was surrounded by her enthusiasm and was a little uncomfortable. Xie Fu also personally sorted out her clothes and mouth, and the grace of God came to this. For the first time, she felt that Xie Fu, the emperor, was really able to bend and stretch, from unpretentious to intimate love, and it was only a moment apart.

The two of them were at the carp pond in the Coral Palace, and in this small pavilion, they discussed the details of the examination in detail. Xue Yuxiao is only responsible for Jingzhao and the surrounding areas, as well as local clans such as Yongzhou, Yuzhou, and Tongzhou. As for Xining, where there are frequent wars, and Ningzhou, which has just restored order, they are not within the scope of this land break - most of the northerners living in these two states have entered the army, and the stability of the military government must also be considered.

The north wind blew the wind chimes under the eaves, and in the sound of the fine bells, Xie Budo revisited a glass of wine and poured the wine when the two were arguing.

The wine slipped into the wine honor, Xue Yuxiao didn't pay attention to the timing of pouring the wine, he was thirsty, and picked it up casually, but was stopped by Xie Budo halfway, his hand was against Xue Yuxiao's knuckles, looked at her and said, "...... It's hot. You wait. ”

Xue Yuxiao didn't look at him, answered, and put his hand beside him. However, Xie Fu noticed Shiro's gaze, and the alarm bell sounded in his head, and there was a thunderous explosion.

Xie Si, what kind of gaze is this? He—

Xie Fu coughed heavily.

Xie Budo floated over and glanced over.

Xie Fu was very familiar with his "mean and disgusting" gaze, she looked at Xue Yuxiao again, and saw that she didn't have half an eyebrow, so she squeezed out a sentence from between her teeth: "Xue Qing's backyard is still empty, how can the position of the righteous monarch be held by a side branch concubine, and the scholars who are opposite to the court can let Xue Hou choose at will, and I will give you a marriage." ”

Xue Yuxiao didn't know how the topic shifted to this, she looked puzzled: "Your Majesty, the minister's backyard is taken care of by the side king, and he is extremely virtuous." There is no need for the saint to worry about such a family matter, right? ”

Xie Fu bit the accent and said: "Extremely virtuous. He immediately glanced at Xie Budo warningly, and continued, "It's because I love you too much, I don't know how to treat you well, if Xue Hou has something to ask for, just mention it, I should allow it." ”

Xue Yuxiao smiled and shook her head, her eyes swept at the dragon and phoenix auspicious pattern in front of her without leaving a trace, and said softly: "The minister lacks nothing, only one thing." ”

Xie Fu asked, "What is it?" ”

Xue Yuxiao said calmly: "The minister's private seal is old, and I want to engrave a new one." I heard that there is a precious treasure jade in His Majesty's treasury, which is comparable to He's Bi, I wonder if Your Majesty can cut love? ”

Xie Fu said: "Take it from Ren Qing." She was determined to let Xue Yuxiao completely stand on her side, and at the expense of blood, she immediately sent palace attendants to fetch it, and after a while, a superb treasure jade sealed in the box was placed in front of her.

Xue Yuxiao opened the box, checked the amount casually, and felt that it was enough, so he put it away and said casually: "Thank you, Lord Longen." He didn't stop talking, he bowed his hand slightly, turned around and left.

When he left the palace, he was still just one person and one horse.

After her figure left, Xie Fu threw the cup, his eyes turned cold, and said to Xie Budoubt: "Shilang's ambition is ambitious, even the only daughter of the Xue family dares to think about it." ”

Xie Budo's face was drunk, and his phoenix eyes narrowed slightly: "Didn't the imperial sister ask me to go to Xiao to miss her in the past?" Why do I really have affection for her now, but the imperial sister is displeased. I'm already condescending, and I'm inferior in every way, isn't it in line with the emperor's sister's wishes? ”

Xie Fu glanced at the cinnabar on his eyebrows, and suddenly smiled: "Even if you really like her, what can you do with her?" Xue Yuxiao didn't have the slightest evil thoughts when he looked at you, and he didn't even covet his beauty, which shows Shiro's reputation for being bohemian...... It's avoidable. ”

Xie Budo knew that Xue Yuxiao was not indifferent because of his reputation. He can see better than Xie Fu, Xue Niang is a saint's heart, and if he wants to move her, in addition to the tenderness of the spring breeze and rain, he can only die for the country. Unhurt by this insult, he spoke, "My informality has stopped many fools who know people with their ears, and it's a good thing for Shiro." ”

He wasn't annoyed, and Xie Fu was surprised.

"Sister Huang doesn't have to be so jealous, Shiro has lived in the deep palace for a long time, and has the same surname as you, I'm just an ant who lives under the imperial power, how dare I have a heart-to-heart relationship with Haoyue on the horizon? I knew what I was doing, and I didn't tell her about your power eyeliner. Xie Budo got up, "The imperial sister should go more to appease her brother-in-law, so that those favored servants can show off their power in front of him, so that they can buy you, a beloved minister with a heart like glass." ”

With that, he pulled up his collar and saluted back to the palace.

……

Xue Yuxiao came alone and went the same way, but it was so simple to go back and forth, but it solved the tricky matter of Da Si Nong sitting in the Mingchen Hall for a long time without results.

About the next day, the will to appoint Xue Yuxiao as the Qincha and the order to release Li Furong were issued together, shocking the government and the opposition.

The initiator didn't know how many people had been kept awake by his actions, and he still played chess with Pei Lang at home with ease. After she received the will, her expression was indifferent, and she only asked the attendant to put the holy decree next to her, and did not open it to look at it.

Seeing that she was so calm, Pei Yuxue knew that it was something that Xue Yuxiao had expected. He asked, "Did you get the Fleur lady out?" ”

Xue Yuxiao thought about it and said, "How do you know that I will save her?" ”

Pei Yuxue said: "Li Furong has a gloomy and cold personality and is competitive, but she has changed her weakness of not being responsible in the past. During the search in Shanhaidu, she shot the fisherwoman who attacked you with an arrow, and I also know about it. Whether it's a comradeship or an unfulfilled favor, you won't sit idly by. ”

Xue Yuxiao sighed: "Pei Lang, who knows me." ”

Pei Yuxue said again: "Let Your Majesty relax, the value you have shown should be not small." Let me guess. ”

Xue Yuxiao didn't explain, and waited for him to guess with a smile.

Pei Yuxue is exquisite, extremely smart, and hits with one blow: "You solved the big problem of the prosecution for her?" ”

Xue Yuxiao bowed his head and said, "Xie Fu has never been so kind to me, I know what the appearance of Emperor Ming is." If she can let go of her jealousy and use her ability, she will not govern the country for many years without progress, and it is all up to Prime Minister Wang Cheng. For the emperor, mediocrity is a curse. What's more, Prime Minister Wang Cheng and his mother are already old. ”

Pei Yuxue said: "You don't recognize the emperor of Shoucheng." ”

Xue Yuxiao said: "Only in the prosperous era can it be called Shoucheng, and in troubled times, it will be ......."

She paused in her words, took out the piece of jade from the wooden box, touched the smooth and flawless jade on it, and asked, "What kind of words do you say are good to engrave?" They all love to carve a person who is ordered by the sky and lives forever, but I don't like it. ”

The attendant withdrew after putting down the decree, and there were only two people in the room talking.

Pei Yuxue's hand trembled slightly, and Bai Zi fell down with a clamour and smashed on the chessboard. He steadied himself and said, "Then what are you going to engrave?" ”

Xue Yuxiao pondered for a moment and said, "Emperor Tianjing's destiny, the virtuous are prosperous?" ”

Since the Qin and Han dynasties, there are six seals in the hands of the goddess in addition to the jade seal of the country, the so-called "six seals of the goddess", that is, this meaning. And "the emperor's destiny and the virtuous are prosperous" is the seal added by Wu Zetian when he was the emperor in the previous life. Xue Yuxiao likes "virtuous people prosper".

Pei Yuxue didn't answer, he knew that no matter what words he wanted to engrave, it was just a discussion before the matter was finished, and Xue Yuxiao would never do it in advance to leave a handle. He asked in a low voice: "Whenever there is an uprising and an army, there is a great righteousness." What do you think? ”

Xue Yuxiao said: "Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty, and replaced the emperor with the position of a powerful minister, called the 'Emperor Regent', preparing auspicious and diagrams, and responding to the 'providence' of the Han Dynasty." The Sima clan controlled the government, usurped the power of Cao Wei, and forced him to give in. Well...... The ideas of the predecessors are very useful. Even the current Xie royal family, isn't it also the regent of the Lin Dynasty, who shot the emperor of the previous dynasty at the east gate, set up the young girl as the main one, and immediately replaced her? But whatever the people's hearts desire, that is, the righteousness returns. ”

Pei Yuxue said: "It seems that you are going to be her beloved minister." ”

Xue Yuxiao smiled slightly, didn't answer, just said, "Pei Lang, you lost again." ”

Pei Yuxue never won. He was used to it, and when he was about to review the recording, there was a sound of armor colliding outside the screen, and Commander Wei knelt outside the screen, presented a letter, and said: "Young master, the letter of the southbound merchant ship." ”

"Southbound merchant ship" is the name of Zhou Shaolan and others.

Xue Yuxiao personally got up and took it and took a look at the letter. It reads "The waterway is smooth, there is no wind and no waves, the four seas are solemn, and the merchants are feasible", which means that Zhou Shaolan has arrived at the place where the treasure is hidden, and feels that it can be secretly excavated.

Xue Yuxiao said: "Reply on my behalf, hope for peace." ”

Pei Yingxue rolled up her sleeves and wrote a letter on her behalf. He is a man in the inner house, and his handwriting is rarely revealed, and although the lord of the scholar clan will inquire about the news of a merchant ship like this, he personally writes a letter of condolences, which is slightly prominent. Therefore, the handwriting of the letters that Xue Yuxiao couldn't handle was all done by Pei Yuxue.

His handwriting is flowing and clear, even if it is placed among girls, it is one of the few.

After replying to the letter, Wei Qingyan received the letter and left. Her footsteps gradually faded away, and before she was halfway through, she suddenly turned back again: "Young master, Li Peng came to visit." ”

Xue Yuxiao asked: "Is it Li Furong or Li Qingchou?" ”

Wei Qingyan replied: "It's a sorrowful lady." ”

Xue Yuxiao was slightly surprised. She thought that the first person to come to the door would be Li Furong, who was escorted by Si Nongqing to thank her. She glanced at Pei Yuxue, and Pei Lang said, "You go to see her in the hall, I'll wait for you." ”

Xue Yuxiao nodded and got up, pushed the door out, and before he could walk over, he bumped into Li Qingchou head-on. She closed the door with her backhand, and when she saw that the other party looked angry and her eyes were on fire, she probably guessed that she already knew the holy decree.

"Yuxiao!" She reached out and grabbed Xue Yuxiao's shirt, "What do you mean?" The imperial court's policy of breaking the land is very cruel, and the people of Qiaojun are miserable, do you really want to force those northerners who have lost their homeland to be exploited again? I have been floating in the rivers and lakes before, and I have seen many inspections, and none of them have not hurt Li Min, did Xie Fu promise you any benefits? ”

Her words were fierce, and there was a sense of betrayal in her tone.

Xue Yuxiao said: "I ......"

Before the words could be spoken, Li Qingchou's brows were already tightened: "The strange jade in the emperor's treasury was sent to Ruyi Garden on the same day, this is the gift she promised you?" Although jade is priceless, you ...... Your heart, your heart is defiled! Xue Chanjuan, you and I have known each other, I can't see you going-"

Xue Yuxiao shook off her hand and frowned, "Where am I going?" ”

Li Qingchou was speechless, and she said, "Xue Chanjuan, do you know what the scholars say about you?" They say you're ......."

"Traitor?" Xue Yuxiao suddenly said, "Could it be that you, Li Qingchou, are you on the side of the Shi clan?" Do I have to be in the company of a group of mediocre beetles who occupy important positions in the DPRK and the central government, but are in the corpse position? What a traitor to the scholar clan, let me tell you, those useless and useless people in the government and the opposition, who only know the nobles who lead the rich and drunk, I will dig them out, and I will not let any waste who can only sell their reputation to destroy the court. I'm going to be the family's hated enemy, do you understand? ”

Li Qing was stunned on the spot.

Xue Yuxiao walked past her, her tone became very calm, she said: "I will make everyone hate me and fear me, but someone will respect me, I know." ”

After that, she walked past Li Qingchou's side and no longer had the slightest argument with her.

Kyushu Angry Wind and Thunder (3)

Chapter 55

Li Furong was picked up from the prison of the Criminal Department in a fog.

She originally thought that her mother had saved her, but when she returned home, she heard from the news from the palace attendant that Xue Yuxiao had entered the palace to face the saint and received the order to check her status, so the emperor did not hold on to her and released her.

She was escorted to Ruyi Garden by Si Nongqing, and Li Jingyao asked her to thank Xue Yuxiao in person. She looked rebellious and reluctant on the surface, but her footsteps didn't really stop—she also wanted to ask Xue Yuxiao what this meant? Did she think that after saving herself once like this, she would let go of her past suspicions with Xue Sanbing and not investigate the past? She won't easily turn her hostility into a jade silk......

Before his thoughts fell, he bumped into Li Qingchou who came out of Ruyi Garden. Li Peng hung his head down, his face was confused and puzzled, and he didn't care when he saw her, he only saluted Dasi Nong and said, "Xue Hou has already received the order to go to the big clan, and he is not in the garden. ”

Li Jingyao stared at her face, glanced at the mountains and rocks in the Ruyi Garden Lake again, and asked, "Are you looking for her on impulse?" ”

Dasi Nong had a pair of discerning eyes, and Li Qingchou did not hide it, nodding in acknowledgement.

Li Jingyao sighed: "The Xue family's jade treasure tree is not ordinary. Don't think she's just accepted a gift from the emperor...... Come here, get in the car and say. ”

"Yushu Treasure Tree" is a consistent word used by Dongqi to praise young girls. Shu means beautiful, here it is extended to "a beautiful woman with the same quality as jade", and "treasure tree" is the meaning of the pillars of the glorious lintel.

She raised her hand and let the two of them enter the Li family's carriage together. The servant turned the wagon and turned to the way back.

Si Nongqing sat in the middle, and the two Li family girls sat on the left and right. Li Qingchou was distinguished by his achievements and talents, and he sat in a position similar to Li Furong from an inconspicuous side branch.

Li Jingyao took a sip of tea and said slowly: "I waited in Mingchen Hall for a day, and it was not as good as her talking." We old bones are really useless, and when we see the young generation of girls who are so scheming and clever, we all have the idea of resigning and making way for the virtuous...... Although there was a sudden wave outside and the words were harsh, the ministers in the Feng Pavilion knew the specific content of the holy decree, and you are probably wrong to blame Xue San. ”

Li Qingchou's expression was slightly condensed, and he grabbed the clothes on his knees a little uncomfortably, and asked, "Please tell me." ”

Da Si Nong said: "The emperor's policy of implementing land breaking has changed, and many benefits have been ceded, which should be Xue Yuxiao's work." However, she was not kind and polite enough to the scholars, but won a lot of good government and leniency for the people of the expatriates, so the family was dissatisfied with her, thinking that she used it to buy the hearts of the people. ”

Before Li Qingchou could speak, the Furong Niang next to him suddenly laughed: "Human life is like a mustard, and life is like a wanderer, so what's the use of buying people's hearts?" ”

Si Nongqing turned his head to look at her and said, "If it weren't for these low-level grass and mustard people, where do you think your silk came from?" Look at Xue Zeshu's daughter, and then look at you, act impulsively! ”

Li Furong choked up for a moment and remained silent.

"When Feng Ge stamped the holy decree, the prime minister carefully read the contents inside." She said, "Although Wang Xiu didn't say it, she actually agreed with Xue Yuxiao's move. One must build on a firm foundation? If there is no country to stand, only relying on the big clan to profit from it, when the tree falls, it will become a trend of division and separation, then in the face of Xianbei, Qiang, and the Xiongnu received by Xining Prefecture, there will be no resistance and will have to wait for death. ”

Both were pensive. Li Qingchou's complexion gradually changed, her throat choked slightly, thinking of what Xue Yuxiao said to her, she felt very remorseful for a while.

How can you doubt Chanjuan's intentions? When the two met in Weiwei, she was a friend of life and death, but she didn't understand what Chanjuan thought, and she was really worthy of the name of her confidant.

Da Si Nong continued: "She came to carry out the inspection, and the second-class scholar clan did not dare to directly confront the Xue clan. And Prime Minister Wang will probably make a profit...... Although we have suffered a lot of losses in Beijing, we can exchange for Furong's life......"
