Xian Dynasty Era

Chapter 40
Turning around and returning to the back hall of Ganlu Hall, Su Zhao looked silent, and walked to the study room. The layout here is quite elegant. A map of mountains and rivers in Yuzhou, Shenzhou.

On the right corner of the book case, there are stacks of books, which are some household registration, taxation, land grain, water conservancy and other materials of the seven counties of Su State.

After Su Zhaoduan sat on the desk, he picked up the brush on the desk, and with a thought, he picked up a piece of white paper and began to write intently. The writing on the tip of the pen is meaningful, and it is clear that he is writing... the diary of a strong country.

"Nowadays the conservative forces are too strong, and the imperial examinations are not allowed for the time being, but the order to seek talents can be issued at an opportune time, and the ministers must be screened, and we should not blindly expand the attack... Talents need to be discovered, and as for internal reforms, there is no need to be in a hurry. First use the Shangshutai to reserve innovative talents, and the Department of Propaganda and Consolation must also be established to prepare for public opinion on internal reforms... By the way, there are also two intelligence departments, one for internal inspections, and one for foreign affairs, infiltrating into various countries. Collect military and public sentiments, or instigate rebellion, or assassinate... If possible, set up a fairy intelligence department to infiltrate the three religions and nine sects, and the six demon sects. Well, this may be a bit whimsical..."

After writing these, Su Zhao felt that his thoughts were sorted out a little bit, and with the mana in his palm, a cluster of flames rose, and a little bit of fly ash rose.

While Su Zhao was thinking, the eunuch Ling Youjiang's voice sounded, "Your Majesty, Your Highness the Eldest Princess is waiting outside."

Su Zhao was stunned when he heard this, and murmured: "Sister is here, I haven't seen her for three days."

Since Su Ming passed away unfortunately, Su Zhao didn't know how to face Su Zijin, so he didn't tell her. In addition, in the past few days, except for Yuan Bin, he didn't allow him to be distracted, so he didn't go to Yuhua Palace .

Su Zhao thought so, and was about to walk out of the hall, when he suddenly heard a sound as clear as a mountain spring, from outside the inner hall with bead curtains, he couldn't help but look up.

I saw a girl in plain clothes coming from Tingting, her eyebrows are like emerald green feathers, her bright eyes like autumn water are like stars whispering, on the crystal and jade face, there is no makeup, but it is hard to hide her graceful demeanor. very concerned.

"Brother, I sewed two single clothes, but I don't know if they fit or not." Su Zijin said softly, and put a few plain robes embroidered with dragon patterns and phoenix patterns on a chair beside her.

Su Zhao smiled slightly, with a warm current in his heart, and said in a warm voice, "Let me see."

As he spoke, he walked forward and took out a robe. The brocade was light and soft, with exquisite and intricate patterns, and the cuffs were embroidered with fine lines of the sun and the moon.

While unfolding the clothes, Su Zhao praised, "Sister's knitting is so ingenious, she has reached perfection."

"It's not as exaggerated as you said." Su Zijin frowned, pursed her lips and smiled slightly, between the drooping eyebrows, the slender hand in the cloud sleeve took out something, and said softly: "There is also a sachet As for the folding fan, it is hot in summer and sweats a lot, so you can wear it from time to time.”

Su Zhao nodded, stepped forward to take the folding fan, unfolded it openly, fanned it twice, and joked: "I don't know who will be lucky enough to marry Elder Sister as a wife."

"What are you talking about?" Su Zijin blamed, her white and jade-like cheeks flushed with embarrassment, her beautiful eyebrows slightly raised.

At this time, the court lady brought tea, Su Zhao waved her away, picked up the teapot, poured a cup for Su Zijin herself, smiled and said, "But sister...you are going to get married after all."

"Who wants to marry? If you say it again, I will get angry." Su Zijin said anxiously, for some reason, there was something strange in her heart.

Su Zhao also poured himself a cup, took a sip, looked up at Su Zijin, who had soft brows and eyes, and thought: "In this day and age, getting married too early is really bad for your health. If you don't want to, then wait a little longer." .”

"You Jiang, send these clothes to the inner wardrobe." Su Zhao suddenly called softly.

Su Zijin also came to her senses at this time, and said in a clear voice, "Hey, I haven't tried it yet."

At this time, a 50-[-]-year-old eunuch answered with a smile on the sidelines: "Your Majesty, why don't you give it a try, so that the eldest princess can see whether it fits well or not? Speaking of which, your lord has become more and more depressed in recent years." His instrument is magnificent."

You Jiang is the eunuch order appointed by Su Zhao's father, and also Su Zhao's father's companion when he was young. He is known as the smiling Buddha in the palace, and basically no one can offend him. Even when Mrs. Wei was around, she respected him very much. an old man.

Su Zhao smiled helplessly, took the shirt, looked at Su Zijin, and said, "Then sister will wait here for a while, I'll go and change."

Said, took the clothes, turned the screen, went to the inner hall to change clothes.

You Jiang on the side hurriedly called the two maids outside the hall, saying: "Don't go in yet, wait."

But before he went in to serve, Su Zhao had already changed his clothes and strode out. The young man was dressed in a plain brocade robe. He smiled and said, "Don't say it, I really feel a bit like Mr. Zhuo Shijia."

Su Zijin's eyes moved slightly, and she said with a smile, "It fits well."

Su Zhao nodded, walked to the side table and sat down, and said to You Jiang: "Gu and Princess Elder still have some things to talk about, you go down first."

"Yes." The eunuch ordered You Jiang to bow and retreat slowly.

Seeing Su Zhao's solemn expression, Su Zijin couldn't help but suppress the smile on her face, and said, "What's the matter? The expression is so serious."

"Sister, let me tell you something." Su Zhao was silent for a moment, with a low voice, and slowly told about Su Ming's unfortunate death.

As expected, Su Zijin's complexion was pale, her delicate body trembled slightly, and she said softly, "Why is this so?"

Su Zhao was silent for a moment, then asked: "Sister, do you think I ordered it?"

Su Zijin didn't speak, but her eyes, like Xiaoxiang's water, fixedly looked at Su Zhao.

The girl with a gentle temperament, the firmness and stubbornness between her eyebrows and eyes, at this moment, she did not hide it.

Su Zhao didn't evade either, his gaze was as calm as an ancient pond and a deep well, full of calmness.

He, Su Zhao, why should he be afraid of a child?
Even speaking from his heart, if Su Ming hadn't been taken away by the monk and out of control, he would rather Su Ming be safe and not do anything for the rest of his life.

Now, Su Ming unfortunately lost his life, but it seems that he can't tolerate others, maybe in the eyes of some people who don't know the truth, he has a reputation of being cruel.

I don't know how long they looked at each other, Su Zijin sighed softly, she already knew that it was not Su Zhao's instruction, she felt relieved at the same time, but at the same time, there was an indescribable melancholy, said: "The world is impermanent, maybe he deserves to die." So be it."

Hearing these words, Su Zhao's heart skipped a beat, and he didn't know what to think of. He used Qiantian Observation Method to see the luck on Su Zijin's face, and enlightenment appeared in the depths of his eyes.

In fact, he doesn't like to use the technique of watching qi very much, firstly, it consumes his mind, and secondly, he doesn't want his judgment to be influenced by the technique of watching qi, but he will use its evidence to judge.
