Chapter Seventy-Five: The Event
Late at night, the imperial palace of the Jin Kingdom was particularly quiet. The snow on the roof slowly melted, forming ice candles on the eaves. It was the coldest time, and the guards in the palace stood straight in the cold wind, unaffected by the weather.
Listen to the temple is the study of His Majesty the Holy Sect of the Jin Kingdom, and the lights in the hall are swaying and swaying indiscriminately at this time.
Holy Sect Fu Xuanhuai sat on the dragon chair to review the recital, and Empress Shulong was sitting under him, carefully carving a piece of white and moist jade.
Li Ying, the chief eunuch of the palace, pushed open the door of the palace and came in with the cold wind. Putting down the food box in his hand, he closed the door of the hall with some difficulty: "This ghost weather can freeze people to death!"
He came to the queen's table and opened the food box, which contained only two bowls of white porridge and two plain cakes: "Your Majesty, Niangniang, eat something." ”
The Holy Sect put down the cantata, picked up the bowl and drank a large mouthful of white porridge. Take a bite of the vegetarian cake and watch the queen carve there: "Let's eat something first." ”
"I'm not hungry!" the queen didn't raise her head, still carving very seriously.
"I see you've been fiddling with these things for the past few days. Can you tell me what you're going to do?"
Manager Li stood aside with a smile and looked at the two of them. The Holy Sect and the Queen have known each other since they were young, and they can be described as childhood sweethearts. The old manager Li Ying also watched the two of them grow up. Since the accession to the throne of the Holy Father, the two of them have spent their nights like this.
When she was young, the queen would pestering Her Majesty to play around or doze off on the sidelines. Now that she is getting older, most of the queens are reading books or watching the Holy Sect on the sidelines.
"I'm going to carve a handsome seal for the new army!" replied the queen very seriously.
"I've already had people rush to make it, why are you carving this?"
The queen said: "I had a dream a few days ago. In my dream, an old fairy showed me a painting and asked me to carve a seal according to the painting. He said that the handsome seal of the new army must be as it is in the painting, and I must carve it by hand. ”
The Holy Sect smiled, "Do you believe in dreams?"
"Yes! What's the matter? Your Majesty is not convinced? The New Army was formed with my private money. ”
"Good, good. The queen is what she says. Just don't carve some flowers, rabbits, cats, or whatever, I can't handle it like that. ”
He shook the jade in front of His Majesty, and said very proudly: "Do you see it? Do you remember this piece of jade? That's your father-in-law's treasure." If I mess around, your father-in-law will not let me go. ”
"Long live the queen, you have deceived this treasure!"
"What do you mean by deception? I asked my father to send someone to send it. ”
After the Holy Master finished eating, he continued to read the recital. Chief Manager Li said to the Holy Sect: "Your Majesty, the results of the imperial examination have just come out. ”
"Oh...... So fast? Take it to me. ”
Mr. Li: "The results have not yet been written, and the old slave is standing next to him and listening to what the ministers say." ”
"You, you...... Knowing that I was in a hurry to wait for the results, I kept guarding Lord Jiang and them. ”
"Your Majesty, the ministers said that in this imperial examination, many students can write splendid articles, which is much better than the last time. It's just that...... Although the article is good, it is mostly on paper and not practical. ”
After hearing this, the Holy Sect was obviously a little disappointed: "What I want is a doer, and those who don't want it are also poor and sour talents." No matter how well the article is written, it can save the people from fire and water, let the people live a good life, and can they retreat from the barbarian soldiers? Alas, ......" sighed, and then said: "Ming'er and the results are announced, you let those who pass the examination go to the Hanlin Academy, study first, and if you have real skills, you will definitely use them." ”
"Honorable. ”
"By the way, after the results are announced tomorrow, candidates can go home through the teleportation array for free...... The cost is ...... Forget it, they are also very poor, so take it from me. It was cold, and other candidates were freezing on the way back. ”
"But...... Your Majesty, you really don't have much money. King Jing was too defeated, and the ordnance he prepared for the new army was the best. After spending all the money, he also sold a Zhuangzi in Beijing. I'll definitely come to you tomorrow and ask you for money. ”
It took only half a month for King Jing Fuzhi to be ordered to form a new army, and many young people were recruited from all over the country, and the money was spent like flowing water.
The Holy Sect touched his face, full of sadness: "Money...... You need money for everything!"
At this time, Queen Shulong said: "Half a year ago, the business of the miscellaneous courtyard began to shrink. Your old soldier and a few uncles have taken over a lot of business in the miscellaneous courtyard, and half a year has passed, and some money has been earned. Someone has already been sent. ”
Really thinking about something, the Holy Sect laughed heartily: "It's really right to marry you as a wife." Hahaha......"
Shulong was born in a large family in Longxi. When Taizu was a member, he contributed money to help Taizu pacify the world. Later, it unconditionally supported the people's livelihood in the early Jin Dynasty. Although the Jin Kingdom is now strong, there are many more places to spend money. The queen's family is also tight.
"Alas...... The miscellaneous courtyard eats meat, and I can only drink the soup left over from them. "The strength of the Miscellaneous Courtyard makes the Holy Sect very helpless. Most of the wealth in Shenzhou is concentrated in the hands of miscellaneous courtyards. It was an empire of wealth, and all dynasties did not dare to use force against it. It can be said that the miscellaneous courtyard is the biggest unstable factor within the human race.
"And Qingyun and Yaxuan, they have to give enough. It is not easy for them to get to the point where they are now in the Immortal Dao Sect, and they can't give up. ”
Queen Shulong said: "Among the three children, Qingyun is the most reassuring of me, who is calm and atmospheric, and has the best cultivation. ”
The Holy Sect said, "If only she were a man. ”
"Fu Zhi is not bad. It seems to be nonsense, but in fact, it is thick and fine. It's just that he talks like a second slipper, and he needs to change it. What makes me most worried about being a mother is Yaxuan, who is scheming and reckless, and has a bad temper, how can she marry someone in the future. ”
"Oh, I remembered...... "The Holy Sect returned to the dragon case and rummaged through a pile of pieces for a long time, "Earlier, Yaxuan's music came. The barbarian prince took down the third prince, and the Flying Bear Army was also controlled by him, plus the support of the barbarian high priest......"
"Your Majesty, I believe that Yaxuan will be able to handle the affairs of the barbarians. Skirmishes at border passes are inevitable, but there will be no full-scale war. The barbarians want to recuperate, and we also need time. ”
The door opened again, and a little eunuch ran in quickly: "Your Majesty, the head of the Taixu Sect is the Taixu Zhenren, the master of the Sword Island Jian Li, and the Yuhua Sect Master Yuhua Zhenren asks to see you." ”
The three masters entered the palace late at night, and the Holy Sect didn't know what was going on, so he glanced at the queen: "Xuan!"
After a short time, the trio entered the palace: "See the emperor and empress." ”
"No courtesy. Three seniors, what happened to entering the palace late at night?"
Jian Li said: "Your Majesty, there is a senior master who has proposed that after the beginning of spring, he will give lectures to young people all over the world. ”
The Holy Father said, "This is a good thing...... Wait, you all have to call your predecessors superior?...... Is it a woman?"
"Yes, her name is Murong Qi. ”
"Murong Qi?" asked the Holy Sect, Empress, and Chief Manager Li Ying at the same time.
"Yes. Does Your Majesty know about her?"
On that day, the matter of Taizu was ordered by the Holy Sect not to be spread outside. Although the people of the city and many soldiers saw it with their own eyes, none of them spread it. Guy Jingjiang City and those soldiers were loyal to the Holy Sect or Taizu. The three masters didn't know about Taizu.
And the matter of Xiang Xing's hometown...... No one is stupid enough to say it. The means she has used have completely surpassed everyone's understanding.
After hesitating, the Holy Sect still told the truth and told everything he knew about Murong Qi.
The three masters were also calm, at least on the surface there was no surprise.
Taixu Zhenren: "On that day, I will lead a group of elite disciples of Taixu Sect with my junior brothers Jianli and Yuhua Zhenren to find a way to stay. In the process, she suddenly appeared. ”
"Shot?" the Holy Sect asked.
"Shot. What is puzzling is that she made a shot for a young man. At that time, the young man had an accident, and she directly sealed the heavens and the earth, and even recruited a powerful army to search for the young man. ”
"Oh, she still has an army, how strong is she?"
"It's strong, no one is their opponent. After I came back, I sent a message to the Upper Realm, believing that it would not be long before the Upper Realm would give an answer. ”
The Holy Sect said, "You mean, she is from the Upper Realm?"
Taixu replied: "Your Majesty, her army came by immortal boat, as far as I know, that kind of immortal boat is not very common in the upper realm, and it is very rare. ”
Yuhua is really humane: "She should have no ill will towards Shenzhou, Dean Donglin said that she appeared sixteen years ago, and she has been in Donglin Academy for sixteen years." It wasn't until six or seven months ago that she made a move. ”
The Holy Sect knew about this, and at that time he only thought that she was a hidden master, and he didn't care.
The Holy Sect said: "The young man next to her is called Xiang Xing." Taizu has made him king. ”
"Your Majesty, King Xiang also has an elder brother Xiang Kun, and a righteous younger brother named ...... Called Dog, a younger sister Zhou Yi. Xiang Kun and the dog don't know where to go, Zhou Yi worshiped my Yuhua Sect, and is now following Yaxuan to envoy the barbarians. ”
The Holy Sect said, "That...... What do you think about teaching and lecturing?"
The three of them said at the same time: "Full support." ”
After the spring of the coming year, young people with lofty ideals from all over the world will enter Beijing to study. In addition, the new army has stepped up its formation, and before the beginning of spring, I will personally receive the seal of the commander. ”
Taixu said: "In this way, the monk sect will be jointly summoned by the three of us. ”
A grand event was opened in a casual decision by Murong Qi.
