Zhao Jue let out a breath, looked at Shen Xun and said, "Teacher, are you tired?" Shen Xun was weak, rarely climbed high on weekdays, and was slightly out of breath.She turned her head to look at the Empress's face, and seeing her concerned expression, she shook her head slightly and said, "I'm not tired."

Zhao Jue smiled, took Shen Xun's hand, and approached the front to build the platform, only to see the eight streets and nine streets in the imperial capital intertwined.According to the custom of the state of Qin, lamps are lit all night during the New Year's Eve until Shangyuan.At this moment, thousands of households light up lanterns and hang them in front of their houses. It is very spectacular to see from a height.Even though Shen Xun had a lot of knowledge, he was shocked by this scene.On the four sides of the city of thousands of lights, in the center of a river of stars.Shen Xun looked at her with a smile on her face. The lights in the dark night reflected her jade face, as beautiful as the moonlight in the sky.

Looking at Shen Xun's expression, Zhao Jue felt happy, and said softly: "The world is peaceful, and the people live in peace, as it should be!"

After Shen Xun heard the words, he was silent for a moment, then turned around and asked the Empress, "Your Majesty is inviting you to the Jianzhang Terrace, isn't it just for you to enjoy the beautiful scenery?"

Zhao Jue nodded, looked at Shen Xun, tried his best to calm his mind, and said slowly: "I have something to tell the Grand Tutor." After saying that, he paused, took a step forward, and got closer to Shen Xun. "The Taifu is extremely talented, and he has read a lot of books since he was a child. There are many records of anecdotes and strange things in the leisure history and unofficial records. Presumably the Taifu has also read them."

Shen Xun listened, her heart stopped, she seemed to have a premonition that what the empress wanted to say must be extraordinary.Just as she was thinking about it secretly, the Empress continued: "What I want to say is very understandable. But every sentence is true. After hearing this, the Tai Tuo, don't panic."

Shen Xun has always been calm and self-reliant, and calmly dealt with things, but after hearing what the empress said, a trace of panic inevitably passed through his heart.But she has always been forbearing, her emotions are not exposed, and her face is still as calm as before.She thought for a moment, her red lips parted slightly, and said, "Your Majesty, let's talk."

Zhao Jue looked at Shen Xun calmly, his eyes were deep, and after a while, he said slowly, "I, it's not..."

"Your Majesty!" A cry from behind suddenly interrupted Zhao Jue's words.Zhao Jue and Shen Xun turned around at the same time, only to see Lang Zhongling Huo Qi rushing anxiously.Panting heavily, Huo Qi walked up to the two of them and saluted, "I've seen Your Majesty, I've seen Ling Jun."

Seeing this, Shen Xun guessed that something urgent must have happened, so he quickly asked, "Why is Lang Zhongling so alarmed?"

Huo Qi raised his head and looked at Shen Xun, only then did he see clearly that Shen Xun had a high bun with black silk, a golden Huasheng on his head, and a light purple train under his cloak.He usually sees Shen Xun in the court hall. Shen Xun wears a black official robe with wide sleeves. In addition, she is always cold and decisive in dealing with state affairs. Shen Xun in the court hall always makes people feel introverted and indifferent. intimidating.But today... Shen Lingjun's dress is so elegant and extraordinary, with the gentleness of a woman.

Huo Qi looked at Shen Xun in a daze, and secretly sighed that Shen Lingjun was so beautiful.Zhao Jue on the side couldn't help frowning, stepped forward, stood in front of Shen Xun with a displeased expression, and said, "Teacher is asking you something."

Huo Qi came back to his senses: "I just entered Leyang Palace and heard that His Majesty Qin Shidao and Ling Jun were in Jianzhangtai, so I rushed here. I received an urgent report that the Northern Army soldiers raided Shuoyuan County the night before. The civilian population suffered heavy casualties, and the border was in a hurry..."

The author has something to say:

On the four sides of the city of thousands of lights, in the center of a river of stars. ——Borrowed from Bai Juyi's poem.

small theater:

Zhao Jue: The author deceived me, and obviously wanted to say it out loud, so he insisted on not letting me say it.

Author: How could Ah Xun succeed so easily?

Shen Xun (with an indifferent face), holding a jade goblet in his hand, sipping tea calmly. ——I just watched quietly.

Chapter 10

"What?" Zhao Jue gritted his teeth.

Shen Xun frowned lightly, walked back and forth for a few steps, and then asked, "Who delivered the military report?"

Huo Qi was stunned, and said: "Shuoyuan County's frontier guards, under the order of Shuoyuan County's captain, sent an urgent report."

After questioning and answering, Huo Qi suddenly came to his senses.That's right, the border urgent report should be submitted to the Taiwei as usual, and reported to the imperial court through the Taiwei's Yamen Office, why should it be submitted to him.

"Check!" Shen Xun said coldly, "Track down the origin of the person who delivered the newspaper! In addition, immediately send someone to Shuoyuan County overnight to find out the truth."

"No!" Huo Qi replied.

"Set it up, come see me again."

"Reassure you!"

"and many more!"

"What else do you have to order?"

"Call Taiwei Chen Yan, come and see me!"

"promise!"

After Huo Qi reported, Shen Xun's mind was on the military situation, his expression was cold, and his eyebrows were lowered in thought.As the king of a country, Zhao Jue is also worried about the people's livelihood, and his anxiety at this time is no less than that of Shen Xun.Under such circumstances, Zhao Jue couldn't continue what he said earlier.

"Teacher, why don't we go back to the palace for now and discuss countermeasures."

Shen Xun raised his eyes, and replied: "Okay." Then he seemed to remember something, and asked the Empress, "Your Majesty is talented, what do you want to say to your ministers? Your Majesty said, 'It's not...', it's not what?"

"...Oh, it's okay, the military situation is important, and I will talk to the Taifu about what I want to say."

Shen Xun stared at the Empress, remained silent for a moment, then Fang nodded and said, "That's fine."

The monarch and his ministers returned to Leyang Palace.The joyful atmosphere of New Year's Eve also dissipated due to the border tension.

In addition to the emperor's sleeping hall, Leyang Palace also has several side halls.Shen Xun stood in the meeting hall, waiting for Huo Qi and Chen Yan to come to see him.Zhao Jue was also waiting on the sidelines.There is a copper smoker with a phoenix bird holding a ring in the hall, and a phoenix bird with a copper ring in its mouth is carved on the top of the smoker.The body of the furnace is round, the outer layer is engraved with panchi patterns, and the middle waist is inlaid with four beast heads with rings.The lower end of the furnace body is a hollow octagonal column.Covered with a bucket-shaped base, the pattern is hollowed out and engraved with tiger patterns.In his previous life, Zhao Jue often discussed politics with Shen Xun in the meeting hall. Shen Xun loved tulip incense, so Zhao Jue ordered people to light tulip herbs in the Fengniao incense burner according to Shen Xun's preference.Today, although Zhao Jue has "passed away", the palace people have retained this habit. Whenever Shen Lingjun comes to the meeting hall, they will light tulip grass incense.The fragrance curled up, overflowing the hall.
