Not long after Xiao Bai left, Xu Beiyou was about to turn around and leave, when he saw Xiao Zhinan coming from the direction of the Flying Frost Palace.

Seeing that Xu Beiyou was the only one here, she couldn't help but wonder: "Why is it only you, Xiao Bai? Let me come here to find him, but he is not there." ”

Xu Beiyou said bluntly: "His Royal Highness King Qi seems to have gone in the direction of Tongxiantai. ”

"Tongxiantai?" Xiao Zhinan was even more puzzled, "What is he doing over there?"

Xu Beiyou said: "It seems to be related to the Ming Tomb of the first emperor. ”

Xiao Zhinan's expression changed slightly, "Nangui, do you know something?"

Xu Beiyou shook his head and said, "I don't know anything, I just have a guess." ”

Xiao Zhinan lowered his autumn-like eyes and said softly: "I also heard my father inadvertently talk about it, that Ming Tomb has a lot of mysteries, and it seems to have a lot to do with the emperor's grandfather, but what does it have to do with it, my father won't say it." ”

Xu Beiyou smiled, "Don't talk about this, how are you in the Flying Frost Palace?"

Xiao Zhinan put his hands behind his back and slowly circled around Xu Beiyou, "It's not bad, my aunt and the old lady are very happy, but the queen mother's face is not very good." ”

Xu Beiyou coughed slightly uncomfortably, Xiao Zhinan glanced at him, and knew seven or eight points in his heart, "You made the queen mother angry, right?"

Xu Beiyou smiled shyly, Queen Xu was Xiao Zhinan's mother and his mother-in-law, no matter what, her previous actions were indeed a little inappropriate.

Xiao Zhinan stopped, took his hand, and said softly: "She is my mother after all, no matter what happens between our mothers, don't get involved in the near future." ”

Xu Beiyou also said softly: "Got it." ”

Xiao Zhinan teased: "Actually, I'm used to it, the way of this world is that mothers and sons are expensive, and it is reasonable for her to favor her brother, to be honest, I didn't understand this truth a few years ago, but I felt unwilling, but today I saw her look lonely, and suddenly felt a little emotional, my father has rarely set foot in the Flying Frost Hall over the years, and my brother is far away in Qizhou, my daughter is close at hand, but she rarely comes over, so what qualifications do you have to accuse her?"

Xu Beiyou said with a smile: "That's good, when the queen's anger is gone, I will choose a day to come to her door to make amends." ”

Xiao Zhinan hummed softly.

Xu Beiyou said softly: "When the time comes, you will also go, so it is decided." ”

Xiao Zhinan turned his head to look at the spiritual platform near Chi Qi, and proposed, "Go up and have a look?"

Xu Beiyou nodded, the two walked side by side on the white jade steps, this spiritual platform is built of white jade, white and flawless, and like a vegetarian, in addition to being built very high, there is no other peculiarity, not too much fancy carving, on the whole, it can be summed up in the four words of elegance and simplicity, and it is also necessary to think that this place is where Emperor Xiao mourns his ancestors, and it should be so.

The two who were about to become husband and wife slowly climbed the stairs, Xu Beiyou said: "I heard King Qi say before, standing on this spiritual platform and looking at the Meishan Shengling, I don't know if it's true or not. ”

Xiao Zhinan smiled: "It's true, I heard my aunt say that when the imperial grandfather was alive, he would come here once a month, and then stand alone for half an hour. ”

Xu Beiyou asked: "I heard that the relationship between the first emperor and the empress dowager is very good. ”

Xiao Zhinan snorted, "The reason why it was rumored that Emperor Wuzu and the imperial grandfather were at odds back then was also related to the Empress Dowager. ”

The two stopped talking and concentrated on climbing upward.

After finally reaching the top, I only felt that the sky was clear, the vision was excellent, and I felt relaxed and happy.

There were no bystanders on the psychic platform, Xiao Zhinan looked in the direction of Shengling, and said: "Among the vassal kings today, in addition to the brother with the most special identity, the Liao King Mutang is the most strong, and the father placed Xiao Maha, the king of Lingwu County, in Julu City, and there is no intention of monitoring Mu Tang, as for Xiao Li, the king of Yan, it seems that he has no military power, and even some are irrelevant, but it is actually a trick to balance Qizhou. ”

"Qizhou?" Xu Beiyou frowned and said, "Your Majesty intends to guard against King Qi?"

Xiao Zhinan retracted his gaze and said calmly: "Emperor's Heart Technique." ”

Xu Beiyou couldn't help but sigh, "No matter how happy it looks, it's still the emperor's family after all." ”

Xiao Zhinan said softly: "The six vassal kings, including my brother, can work together, but they can't be friends, they have been exposed to it since childhood, and they have carved their power and calculations into their bones, and they can't be changed." ”

Xu Beiyou hesitated for a moment, nodded and said: "I have some plans, in fact, my father has long said that among all the princes with real power, Xiao Li, the king of Yan, is the most selfish, Xiao Bai, the king of Qi, is the most angry, and Mu Tang, the king of Liao, is the most gloomy and unpredictable. ”

Xiao Zhinan pointed out: "When I was living in Qiu Shiju that day, Xiao Li had a saying that was very right. ”

She stretched out her hand and wrote two words in front of her.

Daxin.

......

Next to an ordinary post road outside the imperial capital, there is a small stall selling noodles, the amount is large and affordable, the business is not bad, many pedestrians will stop here, rest their feet, and eat a bowl of noodles.

At this time, a middle-aged Confucian student was sitting in the stall, eating a bowl of Yangchun noodles with two poached eggs.

He rode up the post road, turned over and dismounted in front of the stall, and went straight to the bench opposite Confucius and sat down.

l: Yonglu Jiu 0 free} / Look, little Y said.

The Confucian raised his head unhurriedly and asked, "Would you like to have a bowl to taste?"

The person who came untied the long knife on his waist and slapped it on the table, and said calmly: "I didn't come here all the way for a bowl of noodles. ”

Confucian Sheng ate poached eggs and said slowly: "I know, you are for the millions of miles of grassland, now the white disaster on the grassland is getting worse, all departments have suffered heavy losses, and the major Taiji are excited, even the dignified King of the Prairie Khan is about to be unable to suppress it, but I still say that, I am not ready, if I do it rashly, it will definitely be a fiasco." ”

The person who came sneered: "The lamp grass ash you eat, the light fart you put on, you are talking cool here, it is not your person who dies of feelings, do you think that Taiji on the grassland is the military general of the Central Plains? Even if you hold the military power, you don't dare to rebel easily, those guys who claim to be the eagles of the grassland, but they are all jackals, and if you fight in the nest first, your plan will become a big joke." ”

Confucius put down his chopsticks, shook his head slightly, and said with a smile: "I have handed over this matter to Murong Xuanyin to do, he took half a Hailu from Xu Beiyou's hand, and after purchasing grain in Jiangnan and Wei, he transported it to Houjian by sea, and then transferred from Houjian to Julu City, and finally secretly sent it to the grassland from Xiulong Grassland, so as to alleviate the urgent need on the grassland." ”

The look on the face of the visitor slowed slightly, but he still snorted heavily.

Confucius pushed aside the noodle bowl in front of him and said with a smile: "Of course, according to the current situation, the white plague on the grassland will last for more than ten years, and then there is the possibility of warming, so this is just an expedient measure, not to mention whether we have so much money, even if there is, such a big move, it will inevitably alarm the Great Qi court over time." ”

The visitor asked in a deep voice, "How long will your plan last?"

The middle-aged Confucian narrowed his eyes, "If it's fast, it's one year, and if it's slow, it's three years." ”

The person who came was silent for a long time, and said slowly: "Well, I've been waiting for so many years, and I don't care about this moment and a half." ”

Confucius stretched out his fingers and tapped lightly on the tabletop.

Tuk tuk tuk.
