[993] Sacrifice
In the early morning, the cool wind blew softly into the building.
The early morning bird cry is vibrant, so crisp and pleasant. There is a shaded wind blowing between the grass and trees, bringing a burst of faint but not strong aroma, which slowly spreads in the building.
Xiao Lingling still has a smile on her face, happy. got the praise of her mother, which made Xiao Fuling's heart also beautiful.
And the ghost mother's face was also full of smiles, and her eyes were full of relief.
Xiao Fuling's comprehension ability is perfectly inherited from the ghost mother and Xiao Shizhu, and everything can be understood with a little dialing.
However, it will not be that Xiao Fuling will not be taught to be filial piety, once Xiao Fuling is taught to do something, the chicken will fly and the dog will jump.
It also made Xiao Shizhu and the ghost mother very worry-free about Xiao Poria.
This is also one of the reasons why Xiao Shizhu has always wanted to establish Xiao Poria as a reserve.
Xiao Fuling understood this and learned some knowledge.
"Now, do you still think that historian deserves to die?" asked the ghost mother, sitting down again, smiling.
Xiao Fuling smiled and shook her head silently, she was no longer angry, and she also felt that the historian was not guilty.
"Whether it's governing the country or going to war, that's it. It is inevitable that you will do something wrong, but you should not cover it up, and you should not be in a distraction. The ghost mother saw that her daughter was calm and sensible, so she continued to teach Xiao Lingling something: "Then you have to know your mistakes and change them." In this way, whether it is the people, ghost officials, ghost officials, and ghost generals, they will obey you, they will work together with you, and they will be loyal to you. ”。
When Xiao Fuling heard this, she groaned and thought about it.
At this time, Chen Ruo walked in with a few palace maids.
Among the grass and trees in the building, there is a stone table carved from green jade.
The whole table is rectangular in all four legs, and on the side of the edge, there are thirty-two golden toads squatting end to end, and there are two snake heads rising at the left and right ends of the table. Each snake has a winged fish in its mouth.
Lifelike and vivid.
The appearance is weird, it is a product of the ancient gods in ancient times, and I don't know how the ancient gods created things like this? What is the meaning? But now, this table is the dining table of Xiao Shizhu and the ghost mother.
For countless days and nights, they ate here.
The palace maids put the food in their hands neatly on the table and withdrew.
Today's breakfast is also very simple, just a few white mellow steamed cakes. After two bowls of steaming, the milk has a strong flavor of pale green milk.
In addition to this, there is also a plate of fragrant steamed dumplings.
Xiao Shizhu strives to be full and nutritious. If you can't waste it, try not to waste it. So his three meals a day are often very ordinary.
The fragrance was overflowing, and after Chen Ruo placed the two sets of utensils, he went to get a round jade with no complicated patterns and a plain and elegant pattern. It contains juice that was freshly squeezed this morning.
It is used as a base that resembles a stool, and there is a channel on one side for the juice to flow out of the utensils, and the juice is squeezed out. Connecting the passage is a groove for placing raw materials, and a wooden board above the groove for afterburner, so that the design of the utensils is simple and easy to use.
Since Xiao Fuling came, the palace maids also prepared her breakfast.
Seeing this, the ghost mother called Xiao Lingling and walked to the dining table.
She doesn't have to go to court this morning, and she doesn't have to eat in a hurry, she can eat leisurely and chatting with her daughter by the way.
After the mother and daughter were seated, Tatsuruo poured them a glass of juice. This morning's juice is made by pressing manna oranges that bear only 150 fruits a year.
The taste is sweet and sour, and it is Xiao Poria's favorite juice.
just poured a cup for Xiao Fuling, and Xiao Fuling couldn't wait to pick up the cup and take a sip.
The ghost mother said to Chen Ruo: "Our mother and son are chatting, you don't have to wait, go and have breakfast." ”。
After speaking, he took the elegant round jade in Chen Ruo's hand and put it in Xiao Fuling's hand.
Chen Ruo answered, retreated, and closed the door for their mother and daughter by the way, leaving only Xiao Fuling and the ghost mother in the building.
"Eat. The ghost mother picked up a piece of steamed cake and put it on the plate in front of Xiao Ling.
"Poria cocos, the Northern Yin Dynasty has made mistakes, and it has not corrected it, and it has been struggling, and it will only use cover-up to make up for mistakes, which will have no popular support. The ghost mother took a sip of warm milk and told Xiao Fuling this little skill of governing the country: "If you haven't been so stubborn all the time, and you like to hide and cover up everything, you won't lose the support of the people." ”。
Anyway, Xiao Shizhu is also determined to set up Xiao Poria as a reserve, these things are also things that Xiao Poria wants to learn sooner or later, and she is her own daughter, so the ghost mother naturally did not reserve it, and handed it over to her daughter.
"I remembered. After saying this vaguely, Xiao Lingling swallowed the food that had been chewed in her mouth.
She then picked up the cup, took another sip of juice, and asked, "Mother, is my father still parade in the Yuque Hunting Ground?"
Xiao Fuling didn't know that Xiao Shizhu had gone out of the city to Danshui County. The secrecy of this matter was done very well, and even her Xiao Poria was kept in the dark.
The ghost mother immediately nodded without thinking, and continued to hide Xiao Fuling.
"It's been almost a month, I haven't seen him for a long time, can I go to the hunting ground to see my father?"
"No, it's the highest military covert operation going on in that place right now. The ghost mother shook her head without hesitation, and rejected Xiao Fuling: "It's not that I can't believe you, it's that you have to take the guards with you when you go out of the palace, and it is inevitable that the news will leak." ”。
Xiao Fuling's eyes suddenly flashed with a look of loss, but she didn't mess around, nodded at the moment, oh, and didn't mention it again.
She Xiao Fuling has also been in prison for the country, and she knows top secret matters, and she generally has permission. She shouldn't know, Xiao Fuling won't mess around, you know.
"But Poria, if you come, I'll give you a task first. At this time, the ghost mother diverted the topic and asked Xiao Fuling: "You know, the annual ghost people's congress is about to be held. ”。
Xiao Lingling nodded and snorted.
The green smoke of the incense burner around him curls and rises slowly, and the elegant aroma is refreshing.
Xiao Fuling knew what council was at this time, and that was the unique side of the Nine Shadows Kingdom. The representatives of the ghost people held a meeting together to deliberate on various bills, reports and other topics that benefit the country and the people, and express opinions on governance suitable for each locality. and jointly submit bills, interrogatories, and recall motions in accordance with the law. At the same time, he put forward suggestions, criticisms and opinions on all aspects of work.
This allows the country of the Nine Shadows Kingdom to run very well, and at the same time, it also opens up the way of speech, so that Xiao Shizhu and the ghost mother in the palace will not become deaf and blind.
And there is a saying in the Nine Shadows Kingdom: "The iron court is the representative of the ghosts and the flowing water." ”。
In order to prevent these ghost representatives from being bribed and not to be deceived and deceived together with the ghost officials of the imperial court, Xiao Shizhu will re-appoint new representatives from the list of ghost people in various places every three years.
In this way, the situation of the people in various places can be brought into the Yuque Palace by the delegates as it is, and let Xiao Shizhu and the ghost mother know about it after entering the meeting.
At least, half of the things of the people can be restored in their original form at the meeting, without the slightest falsehood.
Xiao Lingling also knew these things, and when she was in charge of the country, she fully understood the operation of the Nine Shadows Kingdom.
It's just that Xiao Fuling doesn't know, what is the ghost mother going to do when she mentions this matter now?
"Your father is training in the hunting ground, and I can't take a break from it, so I'll leave this year's meeting to you to preside. The ghost mother then said slowly to Xiao Fuling: "Listen more and watch more, talk less, and see more how others deal with various things." ”。
Originally, Xiao Shizhu wanted the ghost mother to preside over the meeting, but the ghost mother thought about it, anyway, Xiao Shizhu wanted to set up Xiao Poria as the reserve, and it was a matter of time before she presided over such a meeting.
It's better to take this opportunity and let Xiao Fuling go through the experience.
can also let Xiao Lingling see the world.
If Xiao Shizhu knew, he would have raised his hands in favor.
Of course, Xiao Fuling couldn't ask for it, and she didn't think much about it, so she just agreed.
"If you agree, you'll do your best. The ghost mother smiled and advised: "After the meeting is dismissed every day, come back and report to me." ”......
Xiao Shizhu's car, still on the underworld, galloped south.
They had already left Danshui County, and Tanuki Tianying also led his army back to the county.
Just because there was an extra prisoner car behind him, Xiao Shizhu asked Qinglan to pick up the flag that had already been prepared, with a red line on a white background with a tiger pattern, on the door of the car, and waved it in the wind.
It was the flag of the Autumn Palace, the main punishment, and the vehicle carrying this flag was equivalent to swearing to the people passing by, and this was the car that escorted the ghost prisoner.
Although the local checkpoints may be inspected, they may not be blocked or detained without authorization.
and shall not attack the vehicle wantonly, or without paperwork, or intercept and detain the vehicle.
Xiao Shizhu did this, not because the flag had such a protective effect, but because of this, he disguised himself as an escort team.
Otherwise, the iron bucket prisoner cart followed by the butt would not be able to explain clearly.
Inside the car, Liuyun was no longer afraid.
Xiao Shizhu's words and deeds reassured her, and she believed that such a fair, far-sighted lord would be able to protect her and protect the Nine Shadows Kingdom.
Following Xiao Shizhu, you will naturally feel at ease.
After the night, she also lost her fear and trepidation of the city god civet Tianyun. Moreover, in the second half of the night, Liuyun also slept steadily.
Liuyun felt that as long as Xiao Shizhu was there, he would definitely strive to create a stable, peaceful, and just ghost country. The officials and people of such a ghost country are like fish and water, close to each other, and no one has to be afraid of anyone, so naturally there is no need to fear those officials.
Xiao Shizhu saw that Liuyun, who had woken up, was not only full of energy, but also looked natural, so he asked, "Aren't you afraid of those evil forces?"
"With you, I'm sure they won't dare to make trouble. Liuyun shook his head and said, at the same time, he said that he was no longer afraid of Tanuki Tianyun and them.
That's right, everyone will be afraid, but what to be afraid of, what not to be afraid of, score clearly. Xiao Shizhu took advantage of this and taught Liuyun a lesson: "Courage is also slowly honed in this way. ”。
"Hmm. Liuyun nodded a few times, and suddenly felt that he had made a correct decision, and it was right to follow Xiao Shizhu back.
Here, she can indeed learn more, knowledge that will not be taught in the academy.
Xiao Shizhu was also relieved, turned his head to look at Qinglan, who was yawning and looking at the map, and asked, "We will pass by Shizhu City recently, right?"
Qinglan nodded, continued to look at the map in her hand and said to Mu Qingming: "If it's fast, we can go to Shizhu City in one day." If you slow down, you can get there in two days. ”。
With that, Qinglan rolled up the map and put it on the bookshelf, and rolled up the curtains of the car window, letting the breeze in the morning light.
Xiao Shizhu faced the breeze, and suddenly felt refreshed and drowsy.
He picked up his hand-pot, the tea in it had cooled, but he still passed the spout to his mouth without thinking, and took a sip of tea.
Xiao Shizhu, who smashed his mouth, then said to Qinglan: "At noon, find a town, it's not too late for us to rest and rest." You can also rest until tomorrow and then walk. ”。
"Okay. Qinglan nodded in response, and asked again, "Do you need to go to the pavilion?"
"Yes. Xiao Shizhu agreed without thinking, but admonished: "But our room, don't let strangers approach." ”。
Immediately afterwards, Xiao Shizhu said to Qinglan again: "You go to the street to buy some incense and candles, and when you arrive at Shizhu City, I will go to the island to pay respects." ”。
