Chapter 17 Thank you

When Zhang Jun was about to answer, someone suddenly interrupted: "Qin Xiang, Lord Wan, Lord Zhang." And this one, it's the master of the horse, right?" Jiang Qinzhou caught up, and Qin Zhonghui said with a smile: "Qin Shumi, your frame is so big. Last night, the old man took the master of the horse to visit your mansion, but he waited for most of the hour, but he couldn't see the figure of Jiang Shumi!"

Jiang Qinzhou was very ashamed, he clenched his fists and said: "I still hope that Qin Xiang will forgive me, last night someone from the family reported that Qin Xiang and Master Zhang of Lord Wan were here with Master Zhang." I can't wait to grow a pair of wings and fly home, but I can't let go of the official documents to be processed in my hand. But by the time I finished processing the few important official documents at hand and rushed home, Qin Xiang and Master Ma had already left. How much neglect, I am really ashamed. If Qin Xiang and the concubine don't dislike it, then I will hold a banquet in Hongbin Building today and apologize to a few people. ”

"Jiang Shumi still don't want to break the bank, your cook's skill is quite to my liking. When I have the opportunity, I will definitely go to your house as a guest. It was Dong Ping who spoke. In fact, Jiang Qinzhou had already looked at Dong Ping for a long time, and now Dong Ping politely rejected his proposal as soon as he opened his mouth. It made Jiang Qinzhou faintly feel a little unhappy, and he said: "Master Ma is from Shuzhou, and I am afraid that the dishes cooked by the northern cook at home are not suitable for Lord Ma's appetite." ”

Wan Yiqian walked behind Jiang Qinzhou with a smile on her face, and said like a ghost: "Jiang Shumi is too worried, don't you see that Master Ma is a little familiar?"

Dong Ping said with a smile: "If Lord Wan is there, how can a small official like me get into Jiang Shumi's eyes." ”

Jiang Qinzhou was surprised: "Dare to ask the horse master your surname?"

"Don't have your surname Dong, and your single name is a flat character. ”

Seeing that Jiang Qinzhou was thoughtful, Qin Zhonghui smiled and said: "It's all old things, don't mention it, as long as you know that the horse master is the horse master." ”

"Ha, Qin Xiang is reasonable. ”

The officials passed through the gates and entered the majestic Jinluan Palace. Civil and military officials are arranged in two rows, and chairs are placed on both sides of the hall. Although the chair is of the same standard, the chair made by the civil official is made of palmetto wood, while the chair made by the civil official is made of rosewood. is still and moving, secretly in line with the theory of civil and military.

The officials stood for a while, and when they saw that no eunuch was shouting at the court, and no one was sitting on the throne, they all sat down quite tacitly. Dong Pingzhi stood in the middle of the two rows of officials in a daze, only to hear a rough military attache on the left hand side shouting: "I won't go to court today! Prime Minister Qin, your abbot is scattered, there are a lot of official affairs to be handled in the yamen!"

Qin Zhonghui stood up with his body bent, he turned to face the civil and military officials, and opened his mouth, full of anger: "According to the rules of the past, your lords will hand over the excerpts to this official." On behalf of all the adults, I will hand over the fold to the Holy One. ”

The officials sitting at the bottom had sneaked away a lot, and when Qin Zhonghui finished speaking, only two-thirds of the officials who remained in the Jinluan Hall were left.

Qin Zhonghui smiled and said: "If no one plays, it means that I am a great Song Dynasty and the people are safe, and I am gratifying." Ladies and gentlemen, let's disperse. ”

The officials got up and left in turn.

Seeing this, Dong Ping smiled and said: "This is interesting, these adults get up early just to come here to go through the motions? Speaking of this, Dong Ping suddenly felt that something was wrong, how could this be said like an outsider. When it was over, Dong Pingtian said: "When I left, this early dynasty was not like this. ”

Zhang Jun on the side smiled: "It's incomparable, it's incomparable." As Qin Xiang said, now my Great Song Dynasty is the country and the people. It was just a small group of water bandits, and the king of Shu raised 100,000 soldiers to the north to suppress it. Doesn't this just prove that my Great Song Dynasty soldiers are strong and strong? With such a strong national strength, where can I still have troubles to discuss?"

Hearing Zhang Jun's sharp words with a gun and a stick, Dong Ping's face was as usual, and he frowned very dissatisfied. Wan Yiqi saw that something was wrong, and hurriedly pulled Zhang Jun up and said, "Lord Zhang, go back to work quickly! Immediately, Wan Yiqi looked at Jiang Qinzhou, who was sitting firmly on the rosewood chair, and said, "What kind of Jiang Shumi, your official document has been processed?"

Jiang Qinzhou smiled and said, "The two adults will go first, I still have something to meet with the saint." ”

"Good, good. ”

After Wan Zhang and the others left, Qin Zhonghui said with a trembling voice: "Bastard! The prince of Shu has done his best for my Great Song Dynasty and died, if there is no Shu Prince, how can I come to the Great Song Dynasty to be healthy today." Throw the bowl and scold the mother!"

Seeing Qin Zhonghui beating his chest, Dong Ping smiled and said with relief: "If my father has a spirit in the sky and knows that above this temple, there is Qin Xiangneng thinking about his achievements, he will be grateful." ”

Jiang Qinzhou got up and said with a smile: "What Master Ma said is right, Qin Xiang doesn't have to be angry. ”

Qin Zhonghui breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Master Ma understands the righteousness, which is really the blessing of my Great Song Dynasty. That's it, that's it, let them criticize. Since Jiang Shumi also wants to meet the saint, then go with the old man and the master of the horse. ”

Jiang Qinzhou nodded and said, "Qin Xiang, please Ma Ye, please." ”

The three of them walked out of the Jinluan Hall side by side, and Jiang Qinzhou spoke: "Qin Xiang, where do you say the Holy Lord is at this time?"

Qin Zhonghui smiled and said: "Today, on the tenth day of the first month, the saint is set to be at Han Guifei's. ”

Jiang Qinzhou said with a smile: "It's still Qin Xiang who understands the saint." ”

Qin Zhonghui waved his hand and said, "I can't talk about it, I can't talk about it." The power of the Holy Heaven is unfathomable, and how can we mortals snoop on it? It's just that when we are old, it is easy to remember some trivial things. ”

Dong Ping said with a smile: "This is the difference between a person with a heart and a person without a heart, why are you not as good at studying as Qin Xiang?"

Jiang Qinzhou said with a smile: "How dare I compare with Qin Xiang, don't shame me." ”

Dong Ping stared at Jiang Qinzhou for a moment, and said in his heart: "It's becoming more and more sleek and sophisticated." ”

The three of them came all the way to the palace where Han Guifei was, and at the gate of the round courtyard, there was a palace maid in a goose-yellow palace dress who was looking down for something. Qin Zhonghui and the three of them came for a while, and the palace maid didn't seem to see them. Dong Ping said: "Sister, what are you looking for?"

The palace maid still bowed her head, and said in a panicked voice: "...... Chaise... I can't find the string of beads that the concubine bounced! If Mother Zhang knows, I will definitely be beaten with rattan again!"

Dong Ping looked at the woman carefully and said with a smile: "Sister, what does your string of beads look like, say it, and I'll help you find it." ”

The palace maid said: "That string of beads is very beautiful, ordinary people only say that there are seven colors in the world: red, orange, red, green, blue, and purple." But there were thirty-eight jewels in that string of beads, and the thirty-eight jewels were of different colors. Wearing that bead and waving it to the sun, it looks much better than the morning glow and rain rainbow. ”

Dong Ping teased: "I don't believe it, you have the ability to wave your hand and let me take a look." ”

The palace maid raised her head when she heard this, and when she looked up, Dong Ping and the three of them saw a girl with a face like a peach blossom, lips like pearls, and eyes as clear and translucent as a young deer. But this palace maid was panicked at this time, Qin Zhonghui, Jiang Qinzhou, she couldn't mess with these two characters. But she left the two of them aside for a long time, how could she not be afraid.

Dong Ping smiled and said, "Sister, you haven't let me see the beads that are even brighter than Caixia." ”

The palace maid frowned, looked at Dong Ping slightly, and thought: "Where did this handsome son come from, why did Qin Zhonghui stand beside him." ”

"The bead is lost, and the son is afraid that he will not be able to see it. ”

Dong Ping smiled: "You just raise your hand and wave." ”

The palace maid didn't dare to disobey her orders, and as soon as she raised her hand, she shouted in surprise: "Eh, this bead is on my wrist!"

Qin Zhonghui frowned and said, "Biyin, what kind of treasure are you playing? This is the concubine of the Shuzhong Palace, do you still salute when you see it?"

Hearing this, Biyin hurriedly said to Wanfu: "Biyin has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, and hopes that the master of the horse will forgive his sins." ”

Dong Ping quipped: "I'm not Taishan, Taishan is the king of Shu, and I am at most a stone rolled into the mountain from the side of the river." ”

Biyin smiled, and she said in her heart: "This horse master is so interesting, much better than Lord Wang, who acts in a straightforward manner." Thinking about Lord Wang, I shouldn't have seen him for half a month. Thinking of this, Biyin frowned again.

Qin Zhonghui said lightly: "The Holy One is here?"

Biyin said: "Here, the slave will go and talk to me now." ”

As soon as Biyin left, Jiang Qinzhou smiled and said, "How could Concubine Han accept such a confused palace maid." ”

Dong Ping smiled: "I think it's cute and interesting." ”

When Qin Zhonghui heard this, he glanced at Dong Ping thoughtfully.

At this time, Biyin walked out, and she said, "Master Ma and the two adults, please come in." ”

When I entered, I saw Emperor Zhao Zheng of the Song Dynasty sitting on the couch, and there was a table on the couch. On the other side of the table was Han Guifei, who was richly dressed and lazy and gorgeous. Seeing that people were coming, Han Guifei glanced at her coldly. Then, she calmly turned to the side and tasted tea.

"My Emperor!"

"Don't kneel. ”

Zhao Zhen smiled, and there seemed to be no majesty on his body that an emperor should have. He stared at Dong Ping for a long time, then looked at Qin Zhonghui and said, "Qin Aiqing, can you hand it over this morning?"

Qin Zhonghui said truthfully: "Returning to the saint, there is not a single fold. ”

Zhao Zhen smiled and said, "This group of ministers just want to play tricks." When I went to the early court, the folds flew all over the sky. And once I don't go, this fold will be gone. Qin Xiang, you still govern the country well. ”

When Qin Zhonghui heard this, he broke out in a cold sweat. He hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly: "I hope that the saint will forgive your sins!"

Han Guifei turned her head and sneered.

Zhao Zhan saw the beauty smiling, and when he landed, he clapped his hands and laughed: "Concubine Ai is smiling, Concubine Ai is smiling!" I said that I can make Qin Aiqing beat the drum with her head, but Concubine Ai still doesn't believe me." Now you see, it's time to believe it, right?"

Han Guifei smiled and said, "The concubine has been taught." ”

Dong Ping felt funny and sad. He said in his heart, he really has the demeanor of the princes of Zhou Youwang's Beacon Fire Opera. At this time, Zhao Zhan looked at Jiang Qinzhou again and said, "Jiang Aiqing, who is this person on your left?"

Jiang Qinzhou said: "Qiqi Sheng, this is Dong Ping, the concubine of the Shuzhong Palace. Yesterday I entered Beijing, and today I came to meet the Holy One. ”

Zhao Zhen was a little interested, and he said, "Qin Aiqing, let's be flat." ”

"Thank you, Holy Lord!"

When Qin Zhonghui got up, blood had gathered on his forehead. Bruising is embarrassing.

Zhao Zhan looked at Dong Ping again and said, "When I was young, I went to the Shuzhong Palace. In the palace, I saw a very ugly little girl. How ugly is that face, like a porcelain fetus, with red fangs. At that time, I was so frightened that I had no master, and I fled in a hurry. Later, I learned that the little girl was the daughter of the emperor's uncle. I think that the imperial uncle and the imperial concubine are both heavenly and human, how can there be such a girl? Ai Concubine, what kind of person do you say would marry such a stinky girl?"

Han Guifei said with a smile: "Nine times out of ten, you can't get rid of the four words of glory and wealth." ”

Zhao Zhan thought for a moment and said, "Concubine Ai is reasonable, Dong Luma, what do you think?"

Jiang Qinzhou grabbed the white and said: "Qiqi Sheng, Weichen has a word, I don't know if I should say it?"

"Don't talk about it, shut up. I talked to the horse master, and Aiqing interjected. ”

Jiang Qinzhou secretly said that it was not good, he was worried that if Dong Ping was depressed for a while and collided with the saint, it would be a big deal. He glanced at Dong Ping, only to see that Dong Ping's face was as usual, and he was a little relieved.

Dong Ping opened his mouth and said: "Your Majesty and the concubine have unique opinions, and the grass people admire them. Your Majesty looks at the princess's ugly face, probably because Your Majesty often looks like a concubine. Your Majesty's vision is incomparable to that of our grass people. In the eyes of His Majesty, the princess is a dark red porcelain fetus, but in the eyes of the grass people, she is as beautiful as a flower. And the world is bustling, all for fame and fortune. The so-called glory and wealth, in addition to sitting on the saint of the world, who in the world does not ask for it?"

After that, Han Guifei smiled.

Zhao Zhan was displeased when he saw this, and he said lightly: "Now that the horse is the emperor's uncle's knee, how can he even call himself a grass people?"

Dong Ping replied: "Although I am a colt, I am indeed still a cloth cloth. As His Majesty's people, he should call himself a grass people in front of His Majesty. ”

Han Guifei smiled and said, "That's really sluggish, Your Majesty, don't you give the horse master an official?"

Zhao Zhan said: "Uncle Huang has worked hard, and now that he has passed away, the horse should be shaded by him." Do you have any suggestions?"

Although Qin Zhonghui was still dizzy, as soon as he heard Zhao Zhang's question, he hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty, there is a vacancy at the moment, which is just suitable for the master of the horse." ”

"Oh?"

Qin Zhonghui continued: "Now that the Huinan Embassy is lacking a general envoy's order, Weichen privately thinks that the master of the horse has the reputation of the king of Shuzhong in southern Xinjiang during his lifetime. If the master of the horse takes on this position, the business with Nantong will get twice the result with half the effort. ”

Jiang Qinzhou said: "The minister seconded the proposal. ”

Zhao Zhen smiled and said: "Since the two Aiqing agree, then let the horse take the position of the embassy." ”

Dong said with a salute: "Thank you, Your Majesty Longen!"

"What else do you have to do with the two Aiqing?"

Seeing that no one spoke, Qin Zhonghui looked at Jiang Qinzhou and said, "Isn't there something important for Jiang Shumi to enlighten Your Majesty?"

Jiang Qinzhou said with a smile: "Your Majesty, today's Weichen is an afterthought. Weichen originally came for the arrangement of the horse master, but he didn't think about it, Qin Xiang had already made a decision. ”

"In that case, those Aiqing will step back first. ”

The three of them said in unison: "Weichen retreats." ”

But when the three of them were about to leave, Zhao Zhan suddenly said, "Qin Aiqing stays." ”

After Qin Zhonghui saw Dong Ping and the others go away, he knelt down and said, "I don't know what else Your Majesty has to order?"

I saw that Zhao Zhen's face was serious at this time, and he said lightly: "Concubine Ai, go find some ointment and put it on Qin Aiqing." ”

"Wechen is terrified!"

Zhao Zhen smiled and said, "Qin Aiqing, I left you behind to ask you what you think of this horse master?"

Qin Zhonghui replied: "Your Majesty is the true dragon son of heaven, with a pair of discerning eyes, he must have made a decision. Weichen has only been with this horse master for a few hours, and his evaluation of him is only smart. ”

"Astute?" Zhao Zhen said with a smile: "This horse master looks not only shrewd, but when he sees me knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger, he has no fear at all. Is there anyone in this world who is not afraid of the emperor?"

Qin Zhonghui replied: "The master of the horse has been with the king of Shuzhong for a long time, and the reason why he can be so calm when he sees the saint must have felt the residual power of the divine dragon in the king of Shuzhong. ”

Zhao Zhan thought for a while, and finally said: "I don't see it really. ”

Qin Zhonghui smiled and said, "The minister has a proposal that can relieve His Majesty's worries." ”

"Aiqing, please speak. ”

Han Guifei brought the medicine over, just when Qin Zhonghui spit lotus flowers. Hearing Qin Zhonghui's proposal, Han Guifei had a cold face, she sat on the couch, and turned her back to Zhao Zhen like a gamble: "Qin Aiqing's proposal, I don't agree. ”

Zhao Zhen said lightly: "If Concubine Ai doesn't agree, she has to agree." I just made you laugh, and you just curled the corners of your mouth. And as soon as the colt finished speaking, you grinned. In my case, this is a capital offense. If you agree today, then you will be considered to have atonement for your sin, and I will not blame the other party's talents. ”

When Han Guifei heard this, she bit her lip lightly: "The reason why the concubine laughed at that time was completely because she laughed at the concubine and couldn't help it. The concubines are dedicated to Your Majesty, but Your Majesty blames the concubines. Whatever Your Majesty says, then it is. ”

Unexpectedly, when Zhao Zhan heard this, he was even more furious, he slapped the table and stood up, and shouted: "Capricious slut! If you say you don't agree, you don't agree, and if you say you agree, you agree! A slut like you should go to the cold palace!"

Qin Zhonghui walked out with Zhao Zhan expressionlessly, and in this huge dormitory, only Han Guifei was left lying on the table alone, sobbing and sobbing.

And after Qin Zhonghui came out of the palace, he saw Zhao Zhen, who was still angry, and he actually covered his belly and laughed at this time. Qin Zhonghui stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, Concubine Han Guifei ...... her"

Zhao Zhen put away his smile and said lightly: "What's the matter, didn't Qin Xiangmo think that I had gone too far?"

Qin Zhonghui was about to open his mouth to explain, but Zhao Zhan continued: "If there is anyone in this palace who loves me the most and loves me, there is no one else except Han Guifei. But that's why I want to scold her and hurt her. Otherwise, I cannot rejoice. ”

"Your Majesty, who has a handsome face like a flower and a jade, has a heart like a piece of iron and stone. ”

Qin Zhonghui sighed secretly, and then said: "Your Majesty is reasonable......

"Reasonable, there is a fart reason?" Zhao Zhan scolded angrily and then said loudly: "Qin Aiqing, your proposal has been approved." You go to Mother Zhang, who is in charge of the palace maid in this courtyard, and say it, and then take the person away. ”

"Thank you, Lord Longne!"
