virtuous king

Counting the little Taoist priests, three of the 26 pets have left, and there are 23 left. I feel that the long march of thousands of miles has taken the first step, and I feel very comfortable.

Xiaonian went to the palace to greet the Empress Dowager and met Chu Hong. The child was growing very fast. In a few months, he was already a head taller than before. When he saw me, he hurriedly asked me how he was. Look. There was some sympathy in my eyes.

Probably because I heard that someone in my house eloped.

Chu Hong followed Su Minghan, and the emperor and I deliberately mentioned that Su Minghan's promotion speed was comparable to that of a helicopter. In less than a year, Deputy Commander Su has become Commander Su. After Hong's death, he was dedicated to his duty.

Su Minghan is very interesting. Although he and Wen Che are in the ranks of generals, his personality is completely different. Wen Che came from a famous family and has been familiar with military books since he was a child. He is a Confucian general who can lead troops in battle. In my opinion, Su Minghan is different. Su Minghan is a full-fledged practitioner. He has not read many books. His martial arts are first-class.

It was a day three months ago, when I was still worrying about how to express my determination to abandon evil and pursue good to Su Minghan, but I couldn’t think of a good way, so I simply took the chance to invite him Drinking, I didn't expect this person to be a straight person. After a few glasses of wine, he took off his coat and slapped the table with his tongue.

That day, Su Minghan pointed his finger at my nose and cursed angrily: "His Royal Highness, today I want to tell you something from the bottom of my heart. I don't think you were a thing in the past."

I nodded with a smile, poured him some wine, and said sincerely: "Yes, yes, this king also thinks that the former Prince Chu Jiu is not a thing."

Su Minghan tilted his head and looked at me, shook it for no reason, picked up the wine glass and poured it down his nose: "But you know your mistakes and can correct them, so you're not too bad."

I looked at the good wine that he drank like a cow with water, and my flesh hurt so badly: "Su Minghan, stop drinking, you are so drunk that you can't find your mouth."

"Fart!" Su Minghan stared round his eyes, pointed back to one of his ears and said intermittently: "Who says I'm drunk, this, isn't this my mouth?" As soon as he finished speaking, his head hit the table with a slap, snore.

"See Your Highness."

A greeting brought me back from memory to reality. I looked up and saw Su Minghan grinning stupidly at me with fists folded.

Because Su Minghan is Chu Xiao's sweetheart, every time I see him, I can't help but look at him more.

After saying goodbye to Chu Hong, on the way back to the mansion, I happened to meet Chu Xuan who was thrown out of the general's mansion by Qiu Xiaoying several times. When the latter saw me, his expression changed from helplessness to grievance in an instant, and he frowned and said to me: "Ninth brother, brother, I've been emotionally hurt, so you have to comfort me anyway, don't you?"

I looked at his poor little daughter-in-law and hated iron and steel: "Old fifteen, it's not that the king is talking about you, there is a saying that there are no fragrant grasses anywhere in the world, so why hang on to Qiu Xiaoying, a pungent chili pepper?" Come on, if you are willing to get the hang of it, the children are all over the street now."

Chu Xuan glanced back at the closed gate of the General's Mansion, then looked at me, and recited a poem with his hands behind his back: "Ask what love is in the world, and teach life and death. Ninth brother, love is a thing, you don't understand, Hehe, I don't understand."

Zhijiao people agree with each other in life and death.

I froze for a moment, and immediately thought of Yaoguang and Liu Yanqing.

I thought of my wishful thinking towards Yaoguang, the stars in Yaoguang's eyes, Liu Yanqing's obsession with me, and the spring water in his eyes.

Forget it, they are all a group of people who are trapped by love, why bother to laugh at fifty steps.

I laughed and scolded: "Come up, my king treats you to a good meal."

Chu Xuan cheerfully pouted his buttocks and got into the carriage.

After entering the restaurant, Chu Xuan and I searched for a private room by the window to sit down, and then ordered a table full of chicken, duck, fish, meat, wine and food, which was truly extravagant.

I propped my head up and looked at Chu Xuan drinking one glass after another, squeezed a peanut and threw it into my mouth, hesitantly said: "Or, I will accompany you to Wanyue Tower later?"

Chu Xuan shook his head like a rattle drum: "No, no, I will never go to that place again, Xiaoying knows she will be angry."

I sighed, Xindao Qiu Xiaoying didn't like you at all, so what kind of anger was she.

Halfway through the meal, it started to snow outside.

Snowflakes as big as goose feathers swirled down one after another, and many children in only single clothes ran out cheering, and were carried back to the house by their own adults in the blink of an eye, scolding loudly one after another.

"Chinese New Year is coming, what about typhoid fever?" I heard those adults say.

Chu Xuan squinted his eyes and looked out the window with interest, and muttered to himself: "As the saying goes, auspicious snow heralds a good year, I hope next year will be a good one."

I looked at Chu Xuan quite unexpectedly, and the latter noticed that I had a searching gaze, and the look of concern for the country and the people on his face disappeared immediately, and he put on a perfunctory smile and rubbed his stomach: "Nine Brother, my brother is full, so I won’t bother you anymore.”

I didn't speak, got up and paid the bill, and sent Chu Xuan all the way back to Prince Yu's Mansion, then turned around and returned to Prince Qi's Mansion.

When I returned home, I saw a few young masters and girls waiting in the backyard with parcels on their backs. I counted them, and there were about ten of them. Seeing me coming back, the third young master in the lead saluted me respectfully, and said in a low voice, "Your Highness, I don't know." What His Highness said that day, would it still count if you would let me go?"

I didn't turn the corner for a moment, I nodded instinctively and said, "It counts."

The third young master breathed a sigh of relief, looked up at me, and said with burning eyes: "Your Highness, we have made up our minds and are planning to leave the palace."

I thought of the sixteenth son and the eighth girl who were released by me two days ago, and gradually realized that these people finally believed that I was really willing to let them go.

Although I always wanted to get rid of the mess in the backyard, I felt a little sad when I suddenly saw so many people leaving with their packages on their backs. I said, "Let's go, don't come back after you leave. I used to be my king, I'm sorry for you guys." , the king apologizes."

The third son shook his head and said: "Your Highness, there is no need to say any more, the new year is happy, so let's say goodbye."

I said: "Happy New Year."

I stood at the same spot and watched these boys and girls leave one after another. When I turned around, I saw Liuyue leaning against the door and looking at me hesitantly. Seeing me turn around, Liuyue's face turned pale, and she slammed the door Hide in the house.

I chased after him and shouted confusedly: "Liu Yue, what's wrong with you?"

Liu Yanqing walked out slowly from another room, stared at Liuyue's door with complicated eyes and said: "He is afraid that he will be sent away by you too."

I suddenly realized, knocked on the door and shouted: "Liu Yue, if you don't want to, this king will not send you away."

Liu Yue opened the door with a happy face, looked up and saw Liu Yanqing standing not far from me, her expression darkened, and she closed the door again.

I:"……"

It has been snowing heavily all day, and it has been below the ankles. People around me say that it is a good omen, that it is heaven's eye opening, and it is auspicious.

The snow was still falling the next day, and the smiles on everyone's faces were a little less, saying that the auspiciousness was a bit too much, and the snow was too deep, making it very inconvenient to travel.

On the third day and the fourth day, the snow still didn't stop, and everyone couldn't laugh anymore.

It snowed for a total of five days. When the snow melted, it was freezing cold, and everyone began to frown.

When he went to court the next day, he saw Chu Hong sitting upright with a sad expression, and he glanced at all the officials with a questioning look: "My lords, I heard that there is also a snow disaster in the south."

The weather in the south is no better than that in the north. The people living in the south have hardly seen such a heavy snowfall. I am afraid it will be difficult to deal with the aftermath. If it is not handled properly, it may even affect next year's spring plowing.

No one answered, so Chu Hong had no choice but to ask again: "What do you think?"

After a moment of silence, the grizzled Hubu Shangshu came forward tremblingly: "Your Majesty, the disaster is quite serious, and we should allocate funds for disaster relief."

Chu Hongdao: "That's what I mean too, but... I don't plan to allocate funds to decentralization this time, but to select someone to send the money directly to the disaster area."

All the officials were in an uproar, and I couldn't hold back my laughter.

Chu Hong is quite a clever kid, he knows that direct transfer of money is not feasible, millions of taels of silver have been deducted from the hands of officials, and there is very little left in the hands of the common people, so it is better to find someone you can trust. The person sent the money over, and it was settled once and for all.

Just who to look for.

I was frowning and thinking, but I heard Chu Hong softly shout from the seat above: "Uncle Huang, would you like to take this trip for me?"

Baiguan and I were a little confused for a while.

"Your Majesty, no!"

"Your Majesty, please think twice..."

I turned my head and glanced at a few civil servants who were honest and upright and spoke out to dissuade me, feeling very complicated.

Everyone knows that no one can compare to King Qi when it comes to corruption and gaining power—now Chu Hong wants me to take millions of taels of silver and go to a small town in the south. .

Yinzi is a sheep, a meat bun, I am a tiger, and a mangy dog.

I was a little unhappy: "Chen..."

Chu Hong smiled and said: "Uncle Huang doesn't have to refuse, didn't he mention to me a few days ago that he wants to go out for a walk, in my opinion, it's decided like that."

"Your Majesty, regarding disaster relief, I'm afraid I have more than enough heart and strength..."

"Uncle Huang is too busy to go alone, how about this, He Shangshu, you go with Uncle Huang, so you can have someone to take care of you along the way."

Hubu Shangshu's beard trembled, and he bowed and said: "The old minister leads the order."

I looked up at Chu Hong with some doubts. The latter's eyebrows and eyes met mine, and his expression was calm.

I pondered for a while, then said in a deep voice, "The minister receives the decree."

The author has something to say:

This king feels that anyone has a better brain than this king.
