a pillow in autumn

The southeast of Ye County in the western frontier is the warmest and most comfortable place in the whole Ye County, so the Royal Palace is naturally built here.

Gunzhou is close to the outside of the Great Wall, both residential and government offices are more or less influenced by Hu Feng, and there is a trend of opening and closing, and the Ten Views of the Palace are no exception.

At the end of spring and the beginning of summer, the double-petaled plum blossoms in Lengmei Garden have already withered. The dark brown branches are twisted and slanted, but the branches are still colorful and brilliant. You can see that it is a skilled craftsman when you get very close to identify it. "Xinmei" tied with silk brocade.

In the forest was a large open couch of golden nanmu wood, on which were placed some soft silk pillows, Zhou Muyu was leaning on the soft pillows, a bright and somewhat coquettish girl was like a docile cat Usually lying on his chubby knees, even though it is not midsummer yet, the clothes on the girl's body are already so thin that they are half see through.

Zhou Muyu squinted his eyes slightly, his thick palms slid from the girl's jet-black hair to her bare shoulders, the girl giggled, lying on his lap, pinching a purple grape and feeding it into his mouth.

Heavy footsteps came from far to near, and after a while, Guo Mingxi, the deputy commander of Prince Wen's Mansion, turned around from the edge of the forest and bowed to pay his respects.

Zhou Muyu let out a casual "hmm", and his stubby fingers had already slid onto the girl's greasy chin. He flicked his fingers like teasing a kitten or puppy, and the girl chuckled coquettishly, her pouting With his chest pressed against Prince Wen's elbow, his smile became more and more sweet.

After arguing for a while, Zhou Muyu seemed to remember the Deputy Dianjun standing beside him, and said in a calm voice, "What's the matter?"

Guo Mingxi knew that Prince Wen had subdued everyone inside and outside the forest, but he lowered his voice cautiously, and replied: "The shopkeeper Jin who came to see His Highness earlier wanted to ask for a favor for his son in the frontier exchange market. I asked someone to send over 2 taels of silver." He took out a paper bag from the armhole of his left hand, the bag was sealed, and the 2 taels of silver bills must have been inside.

"2 taels of silver? He's sending beggars away." Zhou Muyu gave a "chi" smile and didn't even look at it.

The girl on his lap turned her head to look at the paper bag, and then quietly lay on Prince Huiwen's lap.

Guo Mingxi had no choice but to put away the paper bag, and found another bag that was several times thicker in the armhole of his right hand, and replied, "This is from Ye Yuanwai, who came to see His Highness yesterday. It is 10 taels Bank note."

Zhou Muyu just glanced at it and asked, "What is he asking for?"

Guo Mingxi said: "There is a young son in his family who doesn't like reading but loves doing business. In the past, before our Ruiguo and the Tu people fought, he often ran away with the caravan. I heard that His Highness is in charge of the two As for the dishes in the Guohu Market, I just want to ask His Highness to show you some kindness, can he only take care of the Tu clan's fur business in Ruiguo in the future."

Zhou Muyu's small eyes opened, and he said arrogantly: "Outside the territory of the Tu clan, fur is the most famous. Can he do it by relying on one person? Oh, if someone else does it, he has to share it with him. , This is a worthless business." He said with a sneer: "He has a good plan. Can he afford it?"

Guo Mingxi approached with a playful smile: "Ye Yuanwai is not that ignorant, he asked the little one to help His Highness, and in the future, he will take [-]% of the profits from this fur business to honor His Highness."

After all, the trade between the two countries involves taxation, manpower, and management. If Zhou Muyu is far away in the capital, he can get [-]% of the profit by just sitting on the sidelines, which is quite a lot.

He squinted at Guo Mingxi and asked, "I heard that the Ye family is related to you?"

Guo Mingxi hurriedly bowed his waist and smiled apologetically: "Yes. Your Highness is truly a man of God. You can expect this detour. The little Ye Zi who was in business just mentioned is the cousin of Xiao's family. His mother and my mother You are cousins."

Zhou Muyu heard this, and then let go: "Forget it. If that's the case, go tell the Ye family that the lonely king will take [-]%. This is because you have followed this king since childhood, and reward you Decent. They decide whether to do it or not."

Guo Mingxi didn't dare to say "no", so he hurriedly put the bank note seal in Prince Wen's hand, and deliberately said a lot of good things.

Zhou Muyu took the seal and opened it. Inside was a thick pile of thousands of taels of silver notes stamped in the bank. He pulled out two of them, one for Guo Mingxi and the other for... He teased and asked the girl on his waist, "Do you want it?"

The girl is only fifteen or sixteen years old, and she exudes a variety of amorous feelings in every gesture, as if she was born to grow up in the romantic field.

She raised her body, the veil on her shoulders had slipped onto her arms, and her delicate white wrists were wrapped around Prince Wen's neck, which was curled up in the brocade clothes. She opened and closed her small mouth, and whispered tenderly in his ear: "Your Highness is really bad. Obviously I know, people want it."

Zhou Muyu elongated his voice and said, "Oh...?"

The girl has been serving him for a long time, knowing his hobby, she leaned close to him, her soft lips were on his ears, she whispered softly, like moaning (groaning): "I want it, I want it very much. "

Her voice was slender and soft, clearly the appearance of a naive girl, but she also revealed a lazy and charming voice.

Guo Mingxi stiffened when he heard it a few steps away, so he quickly bowed even lower.Prince Wen laughed out loud, pinched the girl's face, and stuffed the silver ticket into her emerald green belly pocket.

Zhou Muyu said: "Follow the lonely king well, do you want anything? I have everything you want. Hahaha!"

The girl collected the cash and laughed too.Guo Mingxi could understand that these words were clearly meant for this woman, but secretly, he was cruel to himself.

He kowtowed to thank his master for his grace, and was about to leave when he saw a little girl leading a man over. The man was about [-] years old, wearing a thick blue warrior robe, and his footsteps were very soft, showing his kung fu. in the body.

The little girl stopped ten steps away, covered herself from a distance, and avoided going out.

"Your Highness." The young man stepped forward and saluted.

Seeing that the people around him were all close, Zhou Muyu didn't shy away from it, and asked directly, "Any news from the palace?"

"Yes." The man took out a thin bamboo box from his bosom, the box has hidden compartments, the man said: "The dark whistle reports that Prince Rui has been promoted to be Prince Rui, and His Majesty bestowed upon Yunzhou and twelve prefectures three prefectures." Fiefdom. Di Bao thinks it will be sent to the whole of Switzerland in a few days."

Zhou Muyu opened the box and took out the letter paper inside. As the man said, there was only a line written at the end of the letter paper: Do not return to Beijing unless summoned.

He gave a faint "hmm" and said, "Brothers have worked hard. You get a few coins from the cashier's office, and just say the words of the lonely king, and send them out every month."

The staff in Prince Wen's mansion may not be as good as others in other aspects, but their monthly salary must be the most abundant in each mansion.If you donate again from time to time, how can you not think of serving your life.

The young man had a scar on his face, and he didn't show any expression after hearing this, as if he was used to it.I just thanked him with courtesy, and when Prince Wen had nothing to say, he withdrew.

Zhou Muyu handed the secret letter to Guo Mingxi. Guo Mingxi was well aware of his habit, but suffered from the lack of fire pockets at hand, so he had to follow the previous example, put the secret letter in his mouth, stared and swallowed his tongue several times, and tried to swallow it down.

Zhou Muyu looked amused, and pointed to a cup of tea at hand.

The girl also took the tea with a smile, and said softly, "Master Guo, Your Highness has given you some tea."

Guo Mingxi was beating his chest, so he quickly picked up the tea, not caring that the tea soup was already cold, so he poured it all in.

After recovering for a while, he rolled his eyes and said respectfully: "Your Highness, the last time someone came to ask for an official, Mr. Teng didn't seem to like it very much."

Zhou Muyu smiled, and said coldly, "Just mind your own business."

Guo Mingxi lowered his head.

Although he is not smart enough, he is also Zhou Muyu's number one confidant. Thinking of this, Zhou Muyu said patiently: "This person is raising me for his own use. There is no need to let him know everything. With him, how can you appear to be important?"

Knocking a mallet and rewarding him with a sip of candy is a common trick for the superiors, and Prince Wen is doing it, so it's natural that he can do it at his fingertips.

Seeing that the sun had already set on the corner of the Lengmeiyuan, Zhou Muyu pulled the brocade robe and pinched the girl's waist, ready to go back to the room.

The bamboo box brought by the young man was not closed, and it was left empty beside the Sixi Tea table.Seeing Prince Wen get up, Guo Mingxi remembered the letter in the box that he swallowed later, followed a few steps, and asked, "Your Highness, Jinglitou, do you want to give back the money you prepared earlier?"

Prince Wen stayed in Qiongzhou for more than half a year, and then came to Xizhen for more than half a year. Beijing has already prepared to deposit nearly one million taels of silver, and those silver are all calculated to be managed.How much Prince Wen still has, Guo Mingxi is not sure, but he knows that this master has something dark in his heart.Of course, when you tip yourself, the black ones also turn into white ones.

Zhou Muyu put his arms around the girl's smooth and round shoulders, his chubby face was full of calculations in his small eyes, he smiled and said, "Give it up. Why not."

"But those silver..."

The money was used to bribe several court ministers, who went to visit Prince Rui Yiben with different excuses at different times.Originally expected His Majesty to be furious, even if Prince Rui was not killed, at least he would be reduced to a commoner.Who knows that man is not as good as heaven, half of the money was given away, Prince Rui did not suffer any trouble, and instead became a prince, he would take his wife and children with him after a while, and it would be very difficult to move him.

Zhou Muyu squinted his eyes and looked at the sky in the distance. Under the dark blue sky, the red glow was like fire, burning fiercely.

He looked at it for a while, and then said slowly: "Guo Mingxi, you have been with this king for ten years. You still can't let go of your vision. If you want to run on him for what Teng Snake did, you also want to get rewards from Beijing." Now, with you like this, how can the lonely king use you?"

Guo Mingxi was taken aback, knelt down and kowtowed, kowtowed for a while and then slapped his mouth until his face was swollen, and then he heard Prince Wen say: "This is the last time. Don't be an example." Dare to rise.

Zhou Muyu turned around and ordered to go on: "When people have done something, they have to pay in silver. Besides, didn't your majesty say that you are not allowed to return to Beijing unless you are summoned. This is half the work. You understand Let someone send the money to the other one. And..." He paused, with a half-smile on his face: "The first one to join Prince Rui is the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, right? Give him another 5 Two. Let’s just say, this king values ​​him.”

The author has something to say: The question that everyone asked about which is bigger, the king or the prince, well, here is a quick explanation.This article is mainly based on the Tang Dynasty, such as official positions, serving and so on. (Because the author likes the Tang Dynasty, he fantasizes that he can go back from time to time.) In the Tang Dynasty, the princes were roughly divided into vassal princes and princes. , There are more people who are unemployed at home.So I wrote, Zhou Mubai was made a prince from the prince.

In fact, among the titles of kings at that time, the four titles of "Jin, Qin, Qi, and Chu" were the most honorable (such as the well-known Qin Wang Li Shimin), because the countries represented by these four titles were the most powerful in the Spring and Autumn Period and Warring States Period.In the Ming and Qing dynasties, it was divided into princes and county kings.Princes and county kings also enjoy glory and wealth, but unless the emperor personally approves, most of them have no real power. The root cause is probably that the emperor has been rebelled too much by the princes.
