My lord, your plan is too obvious

Explain that the three of them met in a teahouse yesterday.

"The three of you were at the teahouse yesterday?" Although Si Nian asked, he just stared at Ruohua.

"I..." Ruohua couldn't help lowering her head after being stared at a little hairy.

"Uncle, it's your temper that frightens Ruohua," the prince said, "He just ran out to play chess to relieve boredom. If I were bored in the mansion by you every day, I'm afraid I would have fallen out of control by now." gone."

"Your Highness, you won't." Ji Ming suddenly interjected.

"Does it mean you're teasing me?" Qi Guang squeezed a piece of tea cake and said with his head turned.

"My subordinates dare not."

"Ruohua, let's come and sit together too. I went back and thought about what you said yesterday and sorted it out. I want to hear your suggestion again today."

"Your Highness, I just said it casually yesterday... My thoughts are really shallow, and it's hard to get on the stage." Ruohua evaded.

"Don't be humble, just treat me as Lin Zhao, and we're just chatting."

"I……"

"It just so happens that my uncle is here, so you can talk to him too."

"It's just my humble opinion... Your Highness and the prince don't laugh at me." Ruohua no longer evaded, and sat next to the prince, "I think that setting up checkpoints to collect taxes, since the current official roads are all leading to the capital, the merchants If you are going to the capital, you will collect the tax from the checkpoint to the capital at the checkpoint of the official road. If you are going out from the capital, you will collect the tax from the capital to the farthest checkpoint. Then you will be given a certificate to mark the entry and exit, and wait for the merchants When leaving the checkpoint, if the distance paid for the tax has not been completed, it will be refunded according to the evidence. This way, there will be no worries about tax evasion.”

The author has something to say: Well, Qi Guang is not a virgin, after all, he is also a prince, and he still has his own strategy.And I like to eat sweets, it seems that I like the foodie setting... well... probably mint also has this attribute.

"What do you think, Uncle?" Qi Guang asked Sinian after hearing Ruohua's words.

"It's feasible, but if someone still secretly changes the voucher, what should I do if I change it to the voucher closest to the exit?"

"This is not a problem. Entrusting the Ministry of Industry to make more official seals with complicated patterns, issuing them uniformly, and changing patterns regularly should greatly reduce the number of unauthorized certificate changes. After all, it is impossible to completely avoid it." Qi Guang said.

"Then after reporting to the emperor tomorrow, let someone do it immediately." Si Nian said.

"Speaking of telling Father," Qi Guang pushed the tea cake in Ruohua's direction, "Will Ruohua go to court with me tomorrow and present your thoughts to Father?"

"This is not good..." Ruohua looked embarrassed, and then secretly looked at Sinian.

Sure enough, Si Nian frowned:

"Your Highness, Ruohua's body hasn't recovered yet, and she hasn't officially taken office yet..."

"Uncle, you take good care of me," Qi Guang said with a smile, "He's alive and kicking, it doesn't look like he's fully healed. As for the matter of taking office, I'll recommend Ruohua, and I'll go to the Ministry of Officials to register after the court tomorrow. .”

"Your Highness, you love him too much." Si Nian said.

"Ruohua is smart, and he is from my uncle's house, so I picked up something ready-made." Qi Guang took over the words, directly saying that Ruohua was already taken down.

"Ruohua, you haven't thanked the prince yet." Si Nian saw that Qi Guang had made up his mind. Although he was still a little worried about Ruohua, he didn't object anymore.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your love." Ruohua got up and bowed deeply.

"Prepare well today, and enter the court with my uncle tomorrow. I will wait for you in the court hall."

"Yes."

"Do you still want to play chess with me today?" Qi Guang said.

"Of course I am willing." Ruohua looked happy, a little eager to try.

"Uncle, look, when it comes to playing chess, Ruohua is in good spirits. Ruohua is still young, uncle, don't teach him to be young and old, it makes me uncomfortable." Qi Guang teased.

"Your Highness..." Ruohua lowered her head in embarrassment.

"Okay, let's play chess, I won't lose again today."

After finishing speaking, the maid came over with a set of Go.Ruohua and Qi Guang sat down facing each other.Si Nian sat at the side, but he kept observing Ruohua's strategy and strategy, especially when he thought about Ruohua's suggestion and his encounter with the crown prince when he left the mansion yesterday, he couldn't help but become more puzzled, what kind of person is the young man in front of him?

After seeing off the prince in the evening, Si Nian and Ruo walked side by side.

"You are different from before." Si Nian said suddenly.

"Which aspect is the prince referring to?" Ruohua replied calmly.

"You know what I'm referring to." Si Nian suddenly stood still.

"I hope the prince will make it clear." Ruohua still leaned slightly and bowed.

"I've learned how to choke my mouth." Seeing Ruohua's attitude, Si Nian practiced Tai Chi too.

"Perhaps the prince didn't know much about me before."

"Don't you remember it all? How do you know that I didn't know much about you before?" Si Nian asked back.

"I can feel it faintly."

"Your feeling is accurate, you can even feel where the prince usually goes." Si Nian snorted coldly.

"It's just a coincidence. I really have nothing to do in the mansion, so I go to the teahouse to relieve my boredom. But I was afraid of disturbing the prince, so I didn't say anything. I met Lin Lang from the Ministry of Industry a few days ago. The prince will never I think I also deliberately ran into him."

"It's good that you know what you have done. Your father just retired, so don't ruin his life." Si Nian said in a slightly stern tone.

"My lord, you don't have to worry, how can I tarnish the reputation of my family. It's just a serious illness, but I suddenly became enlightened. Now that I have entered the capital, I will live in a good tree, otherwise I will not put forward my own opinions."

"Just do your part."

"Why," Ruohua smiled slightly, "I have my own ambitions, and the prince won't let me?"

"It's good to have ambition, but..." Si Nian suddenly leaned over and leaned close to Ruohua's ear, "Don't use it in the wrong place."

"Of course I will not let down the care of the prince and His Royal Highness." Ruohua pretended to be calm and saluted, but her heart suddenly beat faster: Speak well, why are you so close all of a sudden?Especially when Si Nian leaned over slightly, with his hair sweeping to the side of his face, coupled with a somewhat deep voice - tsk, this young princess must have a bad temper.

"It's good for you to be modest. I'll order someone to deliver the court clothes to your room at night." After speaking, Si Nian turned and walked towards his study.

Ruohua saw Si Nian out of sight, and walked towards the small kitchen with his hands behind his back.Regardless of this uncertain prince, at least tomorrow he can officially go to court.If I don't make a big fuss in this court, I will live up to the title of the legendary emperor of the previous life.I don't know if the emperor's royal chef cooks more delicious food than the palace?

In the evening, Odan took the court clothes to Ruohua's room,

"Young master, the court clothes prepared by the prince for you."

"Hmm...Okay, let's put it down." Ruohua was stuffing fruit into his mouth.

"My lord, you will go to court tomorrow, so be careful yourself." Odan looked at the greedy young man in front of him, and asked with some worry.

"Sister, don't worry, I have my own measure." Ruohua swallowed what was in her mouth and said.

"My lord, Odan is just a maidservant of the palace, and only women see it. If my lord goes to court, he should be wise and protect himself. I heard from the entourage of the prince that the court is not peaceful recently, so don't be bullied by those people. "Wodan still exhorted worriedly.

"Sister, don't worry about me, don't you worry about the lord. I will enter the court with the lord." Ruohua picked up the court clothes and gestured on her body. It seemed that it was indeed specially prepared for her, and her figure was just right.

"The young master rests early today, and I will call you tomorrow." Odan bowed slightly.

"En." Ruohua put the court clothes back and asked Odan to retreat.

Ruohua lay on the bed, but couldn't fall asleep for a long time.He used to be the one sitting in the highest position, looking down at the court, watching the intrigues and schemes of the people below, guarding against those courtiers with ulterior motives, and guarding his own Xia Yuan.Now it's reversed, he wants to worship and sit on the master, and he wants to plan a strategy in the court every step of the way, disturbing the world of Chu Ping.

The next day, Ruohua was woken up by Odan.During the half-dream and half-awake period, he cooperated with Odan to wash and change his clothes, and he did not wake up until he was fully dressed and led out of the door by Odan.The dew is heavy in the spring morning, and it is still a bit chilly.The court clothes are not heavy, Ruohua can't help shrinking his hands into the sleeves.

"Earlier, my lord hadn't woken up yet, so the prince ordered you to sleep for a while, and you can have breakfast in the carriage." Odan walked in front, bowing his head slightly and said.

"Just wake me up early tomorrow, and I'm not greedy for a moment." When Ruohua was the emperor before, he naturally didn't have to drive into the palace early to wait for the emperor to go to court like a courtier.But now that she has accepted this identity, Ruohua doesn't want to appear too lazy.

"Yes, Ottan has made a note."

☆, entering the dynasty

When they reached the main gate of the palace, Si Nian was already standing at the gate.

Ruohua was a little surprised when he saw it from a distance.After all, it was also the first time he had seen Si Nian in court attire.Si Nian's court dress was dark blue, with silver thread embroidered on the front with auspicious clouds encircling the tiger. The tiger stepped on the auspicious clouds with its hind paws, and its front paws were leaping upwards, but it was surrounded by the upper auspicious clouds.It doesn't have the mouth-opening roar in most of the paintings, but just raises the head slightly.The tiger pattern on the body is also embroidered extremely meticulously.A sapphire blue belt is worn around the waist, with the waist matching exclusive to King Yan.

Si Nian's broad shoulders propped up the court dress, and with his slender figure, the lifeless court dress came alive on him.

When Ruohua saw Si Nian, Si Nian was stroking the steed in front of the car.There was no expression on his face, but it made people's hearts tremble slightly.It seemed that what he was stroking was not the horse pulling the cart, but the fighting horse on the battlefield, and behind him was the smoke of gunpowder in silence.

Ruohua thought of those sunrises in the countless yellow sands, those nights when he was awakened by Ma Ming, and the military uniform he once added to himself.

"It's very humid in the morning," Si Nian saw Ruohua came out wearing a thin court dress, so he told Odan who was walking in front, "Odan, prepare a shawl for the young master tomorrow. Take it off before entering the hall. Can."

"Yes, my lord." Odin bowed.

"I asked the small kitchen to prepare breakfast for you, use it in the car." Si Nian walked to the front of the car, and the attendant brought the pedals, "Let's go." Si Nian stepped on the pedals and entered the carriage.

Ruohua also followed, and Odan helped him into the carriage.Then stepped aside.

"Drive." The guards pulled the carriage, and the carriage drove towards the palace.

"The crown prince will introduce you, so you just tell the emperor what you said yesterday, and you don't need to say anything else." Si Nian handed the food box to Ruohua.

"What if the emperor asks me." Ruohua took the food box.

"The prince will answer in due course."

"Does the lord have any other instructions?" Ruohua tilted his head slightly.

"Be cautious in your words and deeds." Si Nian said concisely.

"I will remember." Ruohua lowered his head slightly.

"You can have breakfast, I've eaten it." Si Nian looked at the food box Ruohua was holding tightly.

"Thank you, my lord." Ruohua was not polite after hearing this, and opened the food box directly.There is a freshly steamed jujube cake, two dishes of pickled vegetables and a piece of porridge with sliced ​​meat in the food box.Ruohua pursed his mouth lightly, this was something he often ate in his previous life, so there was no surprise.But Si Nian was opposite, Ruohua still took a spoon and started eating in one bite.

Si Nian couldn't help but want to laugh when he saw Ruohua's small movement of pursing his mouth.Sure enough, if it’s lighter, you won’t like it.Seeing Ruohua scratching the porridge with a spoon, deliberately picking up slices of meat to eat, the jujube cake only took two bites and then put it down.Suddenly, he feels at ease, such Ruohua looks like a 16-year-old boy.Although Si Nian admired the radiant and confident young man more, but he always felt that he was too mature and sharp, which made him unable to see through.

The carriage drove to the palace, but Ruohua didn't finish the breakfast in the end.After getting off the car, Si Nian gave some instructions to the guards in a low voice, and then walked towards the main hall.Ruohua quickly followed.

On the top of the main hall, Ruohua stood on the right back of Si Nian.Before the emperor came, the ministers who came earlier saw Ruohua standing behind Si Nian, they couldn't help but looked sideways and looked over curiously.Ruohua is magnanimous, she straightened her body without covering up, and turned a blind eye to all the gazes she cast.

After a while, a person also wearing silver embroidered clothes stood beside Si Nian.The man was slightly surprised when he saw Ruohua's expression, but he quickly recovered.

Ruohua met the man's eyes, and slightly bowed to salute.Ruohua looked at this person from the corner of his eye when he leaned over. There was a unicorn embroidered with silver thread on his chest, with slender eyes, sharp eyebrows, and a mole at the corner of his eye.It doesn't have the aura of Qilin, but it has a sense of cunning.

Standing shoulder to shoulder with Si Nian, the top of his head is also crowned with three jewels, with hair hanging down on both sides, it seems that he has not yet reached the crown, and is younger than the prince.Presumably this is probably King Mao that I heard Si Nian mention before.

"The emperor is here, the prince is here..." the father-in-law shouted.

All the ministers knelt down and kowtowed. Although Ruohua was a little reluctant, he still knelt down and kowtowed.It's just that when he stood up, he found that everyone was staring at him closely. There was some anger in the emperor's eyes, and Qi Guang, who was standing beside the emperor, still looked gentle, but pursed his lips slightly.Si Nian turned to stare at him.Mao Wang next to him had a little smile on his lips.

Ruohua was a little puzzled: what did I do?

"Boldly..." The emperor had just opened his mouth, but King Mao stepped forward and knelt down.

"Father, appease your anger. The nine-kowtow ceremony is the highest etiquette recorded in the records. It is a ceremony of worshiping heaven. This new courtier must have bowed down with the highest respect for heaven because he saw his father and felt indescribable respect in his heart." Father." After speaking, King Mao knocked his head on the ground.

"Is that so?" The emperor's anger subsided, and he pointed to Ruohua and said, "Who are you and who recommended you?"

When King Mao spoke, Ruohua understood that the nine-knock ceremony was no longer used in this dynasty.

However, the emperor seemed to be conceited and fainted, so he was fooled by such flattering nonsense.The prince fights for power, and the emperor is conceited, which is beneficial to himself.When the emperor asked Ruohua, Ruohua stepped forward, knelt down, bowed his head and said:

"Reporting to the emperor, this subject is Xiang Ruohua, the son of Xiang Shangshu from the former Ministry of Rites. I was studying various articles of etiquette at home, and I happened to see this ceremony of worshiping heaven. It is the first time to face the holy face today. I think I should perform this ceremony to express my respect for you. .If you offend Shengyan, it's a crime that deserves death."

"Hahaha... Xiang Shangshu is good at teaching children," the emperor said with a smile, "so young that he has such a brief introduction to etiquette."

"The emperor has praised you." Ruohua still bowed her head, thinking that the old emperor was really a fool.

"Get up," the emperor waved his hand, "Who recommended you here?"

King Mao and Ruohua got up, and Ruohua saluted, leaned over and said:

"I am honored to be appreciated by the prince because I have some opinions on the reform of official roads and taxes."

"Oh? Prince," the emperor looked sideways at Qi Guang, "You found this man?"

Qi Guang walked down the steps, stood facing the emperor, and leaned slightly:

"I feel that this person has a very unique view on tax reform, and also learned that he is the son of Xiang Shangshu, so I just made a favor."

"Since the prince praises you so much, you can express your opinion here." The emperor said to Ruohua.

"Yes." Ruohua replied, and then shared the previous day's opinions on customs tax collection

"Okay," the emperor said happily, "it really is a unique insight. What kind of reward do you want?"

"I just have some superficial views and dare not ask for rewards." Ruohua bowed, "If your majesty doesn't think I'm stupid, it's my greatest wish to let you continue to serve you in this court."

"Since your father has retired and returned to his hometown, you will take over his position and stay in the court as the Minister of Rites." The emperor said happily, "The prince also agrees with your opinion, so let's start to do it today."

"My minister will live up to the holy hope." "My son will obey the order." Qi Guang and Ruohua said at the same time.

After coming down to court, Ruo Huaben followed Si Nian, but King Mao approached him.Ruohua looked up at Sinian, but found that Sinian walked straight forward as if he didn't see it.

"I have long heard that Xiang Shangshu's eldest son is both talented and beautiful. I saw him today, and it is true." When King Mao smiled slightly, his eyes would narrow, and the mole at the corner of his eye was particularly conspicuous.Although Mao Wang has a bit sharp eyebrows, and the overall feeling is delicate, but he doesn't have the feeling of intimacy like Qi Guang, on the contrary, his whole body exudes a sense of scheming.

Ruohua didn't like this kind of person the most in his previous life, but he can fight for power with the prince and create troubled waters.It's also fulfilling himself, so it's okay to push him.But it needs to be observed again, so Ruohua also practiced Tai Chi:

"Thank you, my lord, for making the siege just now. Ruohua entered the court for the first time, and when some rules were tense, he made a mistake." Ruohua said with some embarrassment.

"I didn't see Shang Shu's fault, but only saw Shang Shu's respectful heart."

"No matter what, Ruohua will definitely keep the prince's kindness in his heart."

"But..." Mao Wang changed the subject, "You actually know Brother Huang?"

"It's not acquaintance. This is my first time in the capital. A few days ago, I ran into the prince outside the palace. It's shameful to say that I didn't know he was the prince when we met for the first time."

"Such a coincidence is also fate." Mao Wang said meaningfully.

"It depends on man's efforts. I am grateful to the prince for supporting me, but I still have to walk the road to becoming an official." Ruohua's words carried some room for imagination.

King Mao speculated carefully, did he take the road of becoming an official?That is, this person has not completely surrendered to the prince. Is this a hint to himself?King Mao was still thinking, Ruohua leaned over slightly when he saw that King Mao had taken the bait:

"My lord, I will take my leave today. See you tomorrow at court."

"Okay." King Mao watched Ruohua walk away, and squinted his eyes. If this person is used by him, he must be of great benefit.

Ruohua accelerated her walking speed, and when she reached Si Nian's carriage, a thin layer of sweat broke out on her head.

Si Nian lifted the carriage curtain:

"Come on, go home."

Ruohua climbed into the carriage and saw Si Nian was silent, thinking that Si Nian must have seen him talking to King Mao just now.Feeling that the air pressure in the car was a bit low, he lowered his head and waited for Si Nian to say something.

"Eat." Si Nian just handed over a new food box.

Ruohua took it in a daze: what is going on?

"Seeing that you didn't eat much in the morning, I asked someone to bring some more." Seeing Ruohua took the food box, Si Nian just stared at himself and didn't move, so he explained.

"Thank... Thank you, my lord." Ruohua opened the food box flattered.Inside was my favorite fried radish cake and flower cake.

"En." Si Nian didn't say much, and turned to look out the window.

Ruohua quietly looked at Si Nian's side face while biting the radish cake.I couldn't help but wonder in my heart: what is this prince thinking?

The author has something to say: Si Nian is just more serious about official affairs, not a wooden attribute~

☆, Ying Chuo

Ruohua's health is fine, and she has successfully entered the court as an official.It's just that Si Nian never mentioned letting him go back to his father's mansion in the capital, but he still waited by the carriage every day for him to enter the court together.

And Ruohua is naturally willing to stay in Prince Yan's Mansion. After all, although he can't do anything blatantly under the eyes of the prince every day, he can always get a lot of useful information "inadvertently" here.

Ruohua is still just a young minister who has just joined the officialdom, if he wants to achieve his goal, he still needs to hide his strength and bide his time.Anyway, Prince Yan's mansion has everything needed for food and clothing, the prince did not forbid him to go out in private, and the small kitchen would add some new dishes for him from time to time, so the days are not too moist.

And through the information from going to court and inquiring these days, Ruohua has a general understanding of the current situation in the court.

In the year when Emperor Hanchen knew the destiny, there were not many heirs of the previous emperor, and Chu Sinian was his youngest but also the most beloved prince.But when the first emperor passed away, Chu Sinian was less than 10 years old, so it was difficult for him to take on the big responsibility.And the current emperor also made great military exploits in his early years and controlled most of the military power, so it is logical to ascend to the throne.

Apart from Emperor Hanchen and Si Nian, the former emperor's sons who are still alive now have only two idle princes. Ruohua has only seen those two princes two or three times after entering the court for more than a month.

Qi Guang is the third prince of Emperor Hanchen. He is only 23 years old this year, and his temperament is not similar to that of Emperor Hanchen.The prince does not worship martial arts, but is gentle and gentle.

In the early years, Emperor Hanchen really favored the prince very much. Qi Guang was established as the crown prince early before he reached the crown, which shows his favor.

However, in recent years, Emperor Hanchen has started to rejoice in his meritorious deeds, and has also become more suspicious. The prince is always meek, not advancing or retreating. Emperor Hanchen's favor also began to shift.More and more ministers in the DPRK and China supported King Mao.

Ruohua actually appreciates Qi Guang's temperament, which is humble but not humble, gentle but disobedient, but in the eyes of the current Emperor Han Chen, this temperament may be a bit humble.

Under the current situation, the position of the prince is not unshakable.No wonder Si Nian was helping the prince everywhere, if the prince was inherited in the world, Chu Ping should be able to go a step further.

If King Mao wins this world... there should be a bloody storm in this court.

As far as the result is concerned, Ruohua naturally hopes that Mao Wang will go higher. After all, the world is in chaos, so he has the opportunity to compete in the world.If it was a peaceful and prosperous age, even if he seized the world, he would still be criticized.

But the time is still long, and Emperor Hanchen seems to be in good health, and he should be able to live for more than ten years without any special circumstances.Some things can't be rushed right now.

Although Ruohua is a minister of the Ministry of Rites, he actually doesn't have much to do.Not to mention that Si Nian is directly in charge of the Ministry of Rites above me, the six major powers in the court are actually tightly held in the hands of the emperor himself, and the papers that are not publicly seen in the court every day are selected by the eunuchs who are trusted by Emperor Hanchen before presenting them. go up.

An emperor favors eunuchs more than courtiers, and the dynasty is afraid that it will go downhill.Fortunately, Emperor Hanchen was not too confused, but kept reducing the real power of the six departments, and did not give more power to the eunuchs.

It has been more than two months since Ruohua woke up in this dynasty.It was mid-May, Ruohua passed the garden that day, and saw Si Nian resting with his eyes closed on a stone bench under the shade of a tree.

The weather has gradually warmed up, and Si Nian has also changed into a thin shirt, but the lake blue color makes Si Nian look more handsome.Si Nian He Hanchen actually has a five-point portrait, with taller stature and heroic facial features, but Han Chen's pair of thick sword eyebrows looks like a martial artist, while Si Nian's eyebrows are thinner and shallower, but the line of the face is more Obviously, the nose is not as short and flat as most Han people, especially when the profile is profiled, the high nose bridge gives Si Nian a sense of determination.

It was also the first time for Ruohua to just stand a few steps away and watch Si Nian with his eyes closed. When the late spring wind blew by, Ruohua could almost see the strands of hair fluttering across Si Nian's lips.The time under the shade of the tree shines on Si Nian's body, as if in a lifetime, vaguely outlines the dream.

Ruohua couldn't help being stunned, as if everything in front of him was a painting, and he stood outside the painting, what is everything here to him.The person in front of him is so close, yet so far away.Ruohua has been uneasy since he discovered himself a hundred years later, but the character of the emperor in the previous life made him unable to escape or be vulnerable and flustered. He must firmly hold his homeland.

But all of this in front of me, there is no yellow sand all over the sky, no bloody river, I am standing here, obviously everything is in late spring, but it is so unreal, it seems that I can't grasp it.It is probably this kind of anxiety that makes Ruohua want to fight back to regain his own world.It seems that it is even more difficult to let go of the supreme position after sitting for a lifetime.

When Ruohua was in a trance, Si Nian opened his eyes and saw a young man looking at him from a few steps away. The young man who used to be lively in the past now had a lonely and restless expression on his face.The corners of the clothes were slightly blown by the wind, and the sun was shining brightly, enveloping the boy, but Sinian always felt that Ruohua was out of tune with everything around him, as if he would disappear just like that.

Si Nian's heart shuddered, but he quickly regained his composure, and could not help cursing himself in his heart.

"Why are you standing there?" Si Nian said.

Ruohua came back to her senses and found that Sinian was looking at her.Thinking that I was fascinated by watching Si Nian just now, I couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, lowered my head slightly, and was speechless for a while.

"Come here," Si Nian saw that Ruohua hadn't spoken, "I just have something to ask for your opinion."

"Yes, my lord." Seeing that Si Nian didn't care about his gaffe, Ruohua hurried over.

Ruohua walked over, Si Nian motioned him to sit down.Ruohua was not polite, and sat on the stone bench next to Si Nian.

"My lord closed his eyes just now, but what was he thinking about?" Ruohua opened his mouth first.

"In a few days, the envoys of Nanzhi Kingdom will enter the capital to meet the emperor."

"I know about this, and tomorrow I will hand over the compiled list of envoys to the emperor." Ruohua knew about this. Nanzhi is a small country that has been rising in the past few years, so they sent envoys this time. When the minister entered the capital, the emperor also paid more attention to it, and sent it to prepare early.

"Among the envoys who came to the capital this time, there is one who is a bit special."

"The eldest prince of Nanzhi, Cang Lin." Ruohua continued.

"Nanzhi is not a vassal state of Chuping. According to the etiquette system, envoys should be received at the same level. But right now, there are no suitable candidates."

"Why don't you meet the prince in person? You are in charge of the Ministry of Rituals, so it's not an exaggeration. When the prince meets the princes, it is already elevating them."

"It is said that they came here this time for the cultivation technique, and in exchange they brought the forging and improvement technique. I am not suitable to intervene in such matters." Si Nian frowned, "If the prince personally meets, it will inevitably be scary. They are proud."

"If that's the case, I have a solution, but I don't know if it's in compliance with the rules." Ruohua thought for a while and said.

"Come on."

"Since it involves farming and casting, it is most practical for this matter to be received by the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of Rites is only as an escort. But let the Ministry of Industry make a small mistake during the interview, and it is best for the prince to catch him. At this time, the people from the Ministry of Industry It will be sent away, and then the prince will receive it. This will not make it appear that we have put the prince and the prince on the same level, but in the end it was indeed received by the prince, and they have nothing to criticize. Moreover, the prince because of a Ministry of Industry If you make a small mistake, you can personally receive it, which is enough to show our sincerity." Ruohua also suddenly thought of Lin Lang's complaint, and couldn't help but think that it would be appropriate to find someone to recite his mistakes.

"The Ministry of Rites..."

"Ruohua is willing to do her best," Ruohua quickly took over the words, "If the prince and the prince receive them together, it would be too flattering for them." Ruohua naturally wanted to go, and he could use this opportunity to Learn about borders and neighboring countries.

"This matter needs to be discussed with the prince, and a person from the Ministry of Industry must be selected."

"There is a person in the Ministry of Industry who is said to be my childhood friend. I think he should be willing to help." Although it was a small mistake in front of the person, there will be a reward after the interview. It is better to take this opportunity to send Lin Lang Pull closer.

"Are you talking about Lin Lang?" Si Nian thought for a while, and it seemed that Lin Lang was the only one who had good friends with the Xiang family and was still in the Ministry of Industry.

"Exactly."

"That man is straightforward." Si Nian said in a low voice.

"My previous memory is not very clear, but after getting to know him these days, Brother Lang is indeed a straightforward person." Ruohua was not sure whether Si Nian's sentence was a compliment or not appreciative, so he just agreed.

"I'll discuss this matter with the prince tomorrow." Si Nian heard Ruohua blurt out and called Brother Lang, feeling that this title was a bit harsh.

"Then I will wait for the orders of the lord and the prince at any time." Ruohua got up and saluted.

Weibo: A mint is so sleepy every day

☆, undercurrent

The next day, Si Nian enters the palace and tells Qi Guang about Ruo Hua's thoughts.

"Uncle, in fact, even if you meet him, it's not beyond the rules." Qi Guang said after hearing this, took a sip of his tea.

"I don't want to get involved in the matter of casting iron." Si Nian sat upright, but unconsciously increased his grip on the cup.

Qi Guang got up, walked to Si Nian's table, raised his sleeve to pick up the teapot on the side, gently supported the body of the pot with the other hand, filled a cup of tea for Qi Guang, and asked casually:

"My uncle is still worried about what happened back then."

Si Nian shook his hand slightly, and spilled some tea that was just full.Qi Guang was slightly taken aback by the splash of tea, and then recovered his demeanor, wiped off the water stains on his hands, and picked up the teapot to fill his teacup with tea:

"I'm afraid everyone has forgotten some things, so why should my uncle remember them?"

"If you don't say it, it doesn't mean you don't remember it. Even you haven't forgotten it, let alone him."

"Uncle, I almost forget what you were like back then." Qi Guangrui sighed softly.

"I feel better now."

"That's right..." Qi Guang chuckled when he remembered something, "With Ruohua here, my uncle shouldn't be too boring in the future."

Si Nian suddenly thought of how Ruohua was surrounded by light a few steps away yesterday afternoon, but when he saw Qi Guang's meaningful smile, he couldn't help saying seriously: "Qi Guang, don't talk nonsense. He is not ..."

"I just think that Ruohua is smart and lively, and it's fun to be with such a person. But uncle, where are you going?" Qi Guang saw Si Nian's serious face, and couldn't help but want to tease a few words .

"He's a bit too smart..." Si Nian evaded the important point and changed the subject.

Qi Guang heard that Si Nian was somewhat dissatisfied, so he asked, "Did you not know that he had such a strategy..."

"If he had such a strategy before, I would have taken it for myself." Si Nian thought that he had secretly sent several groups of people to search in recent days, but all kinds of evidence showed that the current Xiang Ruohua was really the one who promised. Young master, "After he became ill, his personality was completely different. If I hadn't sent someone to investigate carefully, there was no doubt about it. I always thought that someone played a civet cat in exchange for the prince under my nose."

"It's better to be smart."

"After being smart, I have a lot more eyes." Thinking of Ruohua's various situations, Si Nian couldn't help snorting.

Thinking of Ruohua's clumsy acting skills in front of his eyes, Qi Guang couldn't help laughing: "Such a temper, watching it usually relieves a lot of boredom."

"It's just that I still can't figure out what his purpose is. On the contrary, King Mao, who is still so restless, intends to recruit him that day."

"Since he is a smart person, he must know how to choose the best." Qi Guang walked back to his seat unhurriedly, stepped on the steps, sat back on the couch, squinted his eyes, and looked at Si Nian condescendingly Said, "You say yes, uncle."

Seeing Qi Guang like this, Si Nian knew that Qi Guang was serious.

He always knew that Qi Guang's temperament was not as gentle and harmless as usual, otherwise he would not have established a high prestige among the officials in just a few years.And he is willing to choose Qi Guang because he believes that even if Qi Guang is not a prince who is as gentle and gentle as jade, he will definitely be a king who can support Chu Ping, and that is enough.After all, a person who is too kind will never be able to sit in that high position.

"I will discipline him well." Si Nian got up and saluted.

"Uncle, I don't need to be too polite." Although Qi Guang said so, he didn't get up again. "I can arrange the affairs of the envoys. I still have some things to do at the checkpoint. go small
