Chapter 231: Imperial Court!
"It's snowing, it's a good year! This year's weather is even colder than last year's. However, the rice harvest should not be a problem. Next year will be another bumper year, and since the founding of the country, the Great Qianchao Dynasty has really been in good weather and has not experienced several major natural disasters. ”
In the Jade Capital City.
In the sky, layers of yīn clouds floated.
At first, it was just a little bit of sporadic snowflakes, but in the end, it got bigger and bigger, like pieces of goose feathers, and after an hour, the entire Yujing City, as well as the north of the land within a radius of thousands of miles, became a white world without a trace of stains.
Yujing City Palace, Cabinet Palace!
Several cabinet ministers sighed as they looked out their windows as the snow on the Imperial City Square gradually thickened.
This cabinet hall is the central and important place for the entire world to handle government affairs and issue government decrees.
The newspapers, copywriters, and every move that went out here all involved tens of thousands of people, gentry, and even Taoist temples, Buddhist temples, and the livelihoods of neighboring countries.
is such a pivotal place in the world, but the decoration is not gorgeous, but simple, revealing the atmosphere.
The floor was made of black iron, and there were large desks, large cabinets, burnt bronze tripods, and charcoal braziers.
The charcoal brazier was not carved by those noble families, but ordinary charcoal without the smell of smoke.
In the entire cabinet hall, except for the bright and flickering inlaid on the windows, a layer of crystal-like and non-crystal glass, there is nothing valuable.
At this time, in the cabinet hall, in addition to Hong Xuanji, the imperial master who was sitting upright and wearing a purple and gold crown, there were several other old ministers.
One of them has a childish face, full of energy, obviously jīng is the way of health preservation, and there is also a little bit of martial arts next to the great Confucian, it is Yan Zhen's father Yan Youzhi. This is also one of the elders of the cabinet, the Minister of Upper Study.
And the other, wearing court clothes, wearing a gauze crown, wearing a wrench on his hand, and the one who is neatly trimmed by the amplitude is another cabinet minister, Wang Gongyuan. This person is the champion Jinshi of Taizong, an old minister of the Three Dynasties.
The other one is Li Shenguang, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, who is obviously the newly promoted cabinet minister.
The other two cabinet ministers are also old Confucians, with a calm bearing and the demeanor of a prime minister.
In addition, the two people sitting on a bookcase in zhōngyāng are both princes wearing purple clothes and wearing yellow belts around their waists!
These two princes, one with a kind face and a big grace. The other has strong eyebrows, but a delicate face. These two princes who are working in the cabinet of the upper study are none other than Prince He, Prince Yu.
Eighteen days earlier, the Champion Hou had sent a message from overseas with a flying eagle, and it was a very important situation, and all the cabinet ministers were summoned to discuss a series of matters
"Old Yan, this snow is quite small, when I was guarding the border of Yuantu in the far north, where it snowed, it was really the size of a mat! It was like a quilt covering, where the residents were a little inattentive, and the next morning, the snow was half a person deep, and the door could not be opened. ”
Prince Yu saw Yan Youzhi walking to the window and seeing the heavy snow outside, he couldn't help but understand.
"Of course, Yuantu snowflakes are as big as a seat. The poets of the previous dynasty all wrote like this, and it must not be wrong. Yan Youzhi raised his eyebrows, and touched the things on the window that looked like glass, non-glass, crystal, and non-crystal: "This kind of glass is crystal, not crystal, it's really bright." I don't know what it is?"
"This is when the champion Hou was in a foreign land, captured the craftsman who fired the glaze, after the improvement, the new glaze fired out, like the crystal, but more brittle, but much brighter, when he sent the loot last time, he sent a few parties to my mansion, and then I ordered someone to send a few parties to Yan Lao's house, I heard the champion Hou say, this thing is not valuable, but practical, hey! Yan Lao, you don't have to shirk, if it is valuable, my father does not have to inlay such luxurious things on the window of the upper study. ”
And the prince suddenly spoke.
"Oh, this thing is like crystal, how can it be worthless? But since it is a kindness to the prince, I also understand it. "Yan Yuzhi.
"Although the snowflakes are good, but at this time, there are some broken houses outside Yujing City, beggars, I am afraid that there are still people who are hungry and have no clothes, and those who live in grass houses are afraid that they will also be crushed by the snow. Prince Yu, you manage the household department, you still have to allocate some money and grain, open a porridge field, and give a little relief. We can't let there be people who freeze to death and starve to death outside Yujing City. ”
Li Shenguang said suddenly.
"This is nature, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, the people are still freezing to death and starving to death, isn't it hurting the emperor? This is not allowed by God, I have already sent someone to handle it in the morning, when I saw that the weather was not good. Prince Jade smiled. "Not only outside Yujing City, but also in major state capitals and provinces, they must also issue notices. If there is an envoy in any province who impeaches a person who dies of starvation or freezes to death, he must report to the palace and reprimand the governor and governor. ”
"The emperor sent Taishi Hong to the study to see him. ”
While several cabinet ministers were discussing government affairs, the eunuch hurriedly walked in.
Hong Xuanji stood up, let the eunuch take the fold, and walked out without saying a word, and then came to Emperor Qian's upper study.
"The mystery is coming, give the seat. Emperor Qian sat in front of the imperial case, his eyes flickered, he didn't know if it was because he was too empty, or what he was thinking, when he saw Hong Xuanji coming in, he said safely.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. This pair of monarchs and ministers have been working together for more than 20 years, and they are close to each other, Hong Xuanji has no more words of gratitude, and he sits slightly on the chair that the eunuch moved, still as steady as Mount Tai.
"This time the champion Hou's recital, the Qiankun cloth bag did not get it, but it gave the Yunmeng fleet a head-on blow, capturing 20,000 sailors, 200 ships, and even the Mengshen Zhenguo ship was captured, it is really an unprecedented victory for my Qiankun against Yuanmeng, Xuanji, you look at this report, how to send it out?" Emperor Qiandi looked at Hong Xuanji and asked.
"Although the Qiankun cloth bag is important, it is a strange thing that disturbs the gods, and it cannot be made clear and let the civil and military officials know. Di Bao wrote that the champion Hou Dasheng was born, and it was spread all over the country. Hong Xuanji bowed slightly, "Since the Qiankun cloth bag did not fall into the hands of Yunmeng, it fell into the hands of the Golden Spider Law King, and it is not a big threat, and now the messenger of Rouran, the Prince of Stone Flute, and Princess Yoululet have arrived in the Yujing Post House, and the emperor can summon them to ask and let the Golden Spider Law King know." ”
"I want to send someone to hunt down the Golden Spider Dharma King and get the Qiankun cloth bag. "Emperor Qiandao.
"The minister thinks that there is no need for this, it is better to make a deal with the Golden Spider Law King, this person is the national teacher of Rouran, and he is good at concealment, it is difficult to chase and kill, and Rouran is located outside Yunmeng, this time he came to the envoy, and I have diplomatic relations with the court, I would rather be a minister, if I hunt down and kill their national teacher, it will destroy the diplomatic relations, and it is not conducive to the plan of attacking Yunmeng. And now in the Yujing City, the crisis is lurking, and it is better to have one more enemy than one less. ”
Hong Xuanji said.
"What should you do?"
"The emperor can summon the prince of the stone flute, Princess Eululet, and ask them to inform the Golden Spider King to come, and the ministers will receive him, discuss with him, and exchange things for the Qiankun cloth bag. Hong Xuanji said.
"Oh, this kind of artifact, the Golden Spider Dharma King is willing to exchange it, what did you let me exchange it for?" said Emperor Qian, frowning.
"In the library of the royal collection, there are all kinds of lost classics, all kinds of Taoist arts, and martial arts in the world, let the Golden Spider Dharma King watch a rì, he will definitely agree! Besides, this demon is clever in his means, good at assassination, sneak attack, and also has the value of wooing. ”
Hong Xuanji said: "Now that I am a great Qian, the imperial court, the power of the world, the strength of the country, the will of the people, the trend of the times, the domination of the world, the elimination of all barbarians on all sides, is something that can be waited. He Golden Spider Dharma King would not fail to understand this truth. This cloth bag is the artifact of the country, and after the Golden Spider Dharma King has it, he will not be able to keep it, and sooner or later he will suffer endless pursuits, so it is better to exchange it for my Daqian court, which is safe. ”
"Indeed, it is true, in this case, I will summon the prince of the stone flute, Princess Eulet. ”
Emperor Qiandi nodded and said
"At this time, it's already snowing in Yujing City!"
In the Izumo Kingdom, Hong Yi and Zen Yinsha spent ten days, quietly taking the monk Jīng Shinobu from another large sea, spending a few more days, and finally returned to the Izumo Kingdom.
At the same time, there was a great coolness on the southern sea.
When Hong Yi and Chan Yinsha landed in their manor, they found that a whole year had passed since they had come to cultivate Dao Arts.
"After a month of cultivation in Izumo Country, after a month, I will set off to return to Daqian, and within this month, see if I can survive the Thunder Tribulation! If I become a master of the Thunder Tribulation, the world is so big, don't I let me run the roam? But at this time, I should first take a look at what is inside the Qiankun cloth bag?"
After Hong Yi and Chan Yinsha settled down, they chose a secret room and asked Monk Jīng to open the Qiankun cloth bag!
