I Rely on Beauty to Stabilize the Country

After the morning court the next day, Chu Wei asked for an order to enter the Xuanzheng Hall.

He was wearing an official robe, holding a scroll of paintings in a cloth belt in his hand.Accompanied by him is an official from Yushitai, who has always been obsessed with Li Qingyun's paintings and knows quite well.He was invited by Tian Fusheng to see if the upper and lower paintings were both authentic and whether they could be combined into one.

Today is a cloudy and rainy day, and the painting will be slightly damp, causing the paper to wrinkle slightly.The painting in the emperor's treasury had already been placed on the case file, and the officials of Yushitai's eyes lit up, and they kept looking at the painting.

Gu Yuanbai laughed, and joked: "Wan Qing's eyes are as if they would set Li Qingyun's painting on fire."

Master Wan smiled cautiously, and saluted with Chu Wei.After getting up, Chu Wei handed the cloth belt in his arms to the eunuch.

The upper and lower volumes of "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" are finally put together.

Gu Yuanbai couldn't help laughing at a glance: "Chu Qing, your painting must be fake."

Although he doesn't know much about painting, he can at least see how new and old the painting is. It doesn't matter if you look at it alone, but when two paintings are put together, the difference between old and new suddenly becomes large.

Chu Wei's lips fluttered, and finally he straightened his lips, looking down at the painting on the table.

It looked a bit disappointed.

Lord Wan suddenly let out a "huh", and leaned closer to look at Chu Wei's painting, "My lord, this is really strange. Although the old and the new are different, the brushwork in this painting is still in the direction of mountains and rivers, which is Li Qingyun's painting habit. No Looking at the old and the new, just looking at the paintings, it seems that they are really painted by Li Qingyun."

Gu Yuanbai froze for a moment, wrinkling the tip of his nose slightly, "Really?"

Lord Wan did not dare to talk about the painting, "I will take a look again."

The weather was cloudy and rainy, and there was no sunlight at all. The more Mr. Wan looked at him, the more strange he felt in his heart.He connected the upper and lower pictures together, and lo and behold, there is no gap in the disconnected place, and every part is joined together with the upper scroll. If this is not a painting, how did the imitator do it? ?

Could it be possible to align with the upper half of the scroll without any mistakes just by relying on the lower half of the scroll?

"It's so similar," Master Wan sighed, "Even if I know it's an imitation painting, I don't dare to say that there is any difference in the painting."

Gu Yuanbai rolled his eyes, "Interesting."

He went forward, Master Wan backed away.The Holy One bent over and looked at the painting that Chu Wei presented.

Chu Wei was looking at the Holy Majesty.

Gu Yuanbai's black hair was hanging on his back, and every time he moved slightly, the last few strands of hair became more dangerous.

If it hangs down, will it be swept onto Chu Wei's painting?

If it is swept, I'm afraid it will be stained with ink that has been stained by rain moisture.

As soon as Chu Wei's thoughts passed, the hair of the Holy Majesty slipped from the sides. Chu Wei subconsciously stepped forward and caught it in time before the hair touched the painting.

The Holy Majesty cast his eyes on him, Chu Wei is a gentleman like jade, he said calmly: "I don't know how many people have passed through the hands of this painting, it's better not to touch the Holy Majesty."

Gu Yuanbai smiled, straightened up, and patted Chu Wei's arm, "Chu Qing is careful."

The black hair also slipped away from Chu Wei's hands.

Chu Wei withdrew his hand, a slight smile rose in his eyes, "Don't dare."

Although the painting is fake, the content in the painting seems to be real.Gu Yuanbai was somewhat aroused, and he asked Chu Wei to keep the painting, and if he met someone who sold him the painting next time, he would come and report it in time.

Not long after, Old General Xue returned to Beijing.

He advanced to the palace to discuss business with Gu Yuanbai, and the border cross market went very smoothly. Mrs. Zhang had prepared for a long time for the business route. They are old-fashioned in trading, so the mutual market they created can have anything they want What, it has greatly aroused the nomads' interest and enthusiasm for the mutual market.

The expression of enthusiasm is manifested in the fact that batches of horses brought from northern Xinjiang were filled into the army, some cattle and sheep from northern Xinjiang were sold to the south, and some entered the barracks to add meat to the soldiers.

In addition to the horses sent by Xixia, the army can form an additional [-] cavalry. Among the cavalry, the equipment and training methods of the heavy cavalry are also constantly improving. There is no shortage of food, and sufficient meat, vegetables and fruits can feed Strong enough physique.

As soon as so many cattle and sheep entered the army, the respect and love of the soldiers for Gu Yuanbai went up to a higher level.They know life is good and bad, and they have never experienced such a life of meat and rice before they served as soldiers.

In the whole world, after serving as a soldier, life can be better than before serving as a soldier, and only Daheng can do it.

The army is too important. After Gu Yuanbai asked about the cattle, sheep and horses, he asked about the border guards. General Xue was very emotional and couldn't help saying: "When the minister led the troops to garrison the northern border, the soldiers in the northern border As skinny as sticks, the people in northern Xinjiang are even more panic-stricken, and they can't sleep well. But when I return to Beijing this time," he couldn't help showing a smile, "the people lined up to see each other off, tears shed for ten miles, and sent off to the ministers and soldiers. There are so many things that we can't take them with us."

"There are also soldiers in northern Xinjiang." General Xue couldn't help the sore eyes. "Last year, there was a lot of snow, and several houses in northern Xinjiang collapsed. The soldiers went to rescue people overnight. It snowed for dozens of days, and the road was covered It was sealed off, but none of the soldiers in northern Xinjiang froze to death.”

"We drank the old duck soup, wrapped in the cotton clothes you gave us, and passed the whole winter safely."

Gu Yuanbai's heart was warmed by what he said, he smiled, and suddenly said sincerely: "This is what I want to see most in my life.

AD4

to the scene. "

"There are tens of thousands of mansions in Ande," said the Holy One in a low voice.

As soon as this remark came out, Old General Xue burst into tears.

Old General Xue left the capital all the way with tears in his eyes, and the Holy One specially asked Xue Yuan to accompany him back to the mansion.Xue Yuan took a look at Old General Xue and felt a headache, "General Xue, can you stop crying?"

Old General Xue's cuffs were already wet with tears, "Your Majesty is really kind, Your Majesty is so kind."

A smile appeared on Xue Yuan's face, "The Holy One is naturally fine."

It wasn't until Old General Xue returned to the mansion that the agitation and emotion in his chest gradually calmed down. After crying in front of his son for so long, he was a little embarrassed for a while, so he coughed and said, "You will be 25 in a while, It’s almost thirty years old, Xue Yuan, when will you marry me a daughter-in-law for you?”

Xue Yuan thought about it seriously: "It's difficult."

"Your mother and I both know that you already have a sweetheart," General Xue sighed, thinking he didn't want to say more, "Your father had you when he was 20, and two years later, Brother Lin was born. Now I have passed In her forties, she didn't even hug a grandson."

Xue Yuan lazily said: "It's simple. Tomorrow I will find a few girls who are willing to give birth to Xue Er, and lock them up with Xue Er. When will you get pregnant, and when will you come out of the room."

"You already have a sweetheart, why doesn't your sweetheart give birth to a grandson for me?" Old General Xue's face was serious, and he was very dissatisfied. "Could it be that you, a useless bastard, haven't been agreed to marry you yet?"

"I can't give birth," Xue Yuan said truthfully, "It's true that he hasn't agreed to marry me yet."

Maybe they will never agree to marry him, and the Xue family seems to...can't afford to support the Holy Majesty.

Old General Xue lowered his face, "Since she doesn't want to marry you, don't think about it anymore! When I return home, I will ask your mother to arrange a marriage for you."

Xue Yuan didn't change his face, "General Xue, I won't lift it."

Old General Xue couldn't hold back his anger at all, and shouted: "You don't do it, what's the matter with washing your pants for half a month in northern Xinjiang! Xue Jiuyao, you have grown up, and you still have to pay for someone who doesn't like you." You can even say such things about a woman who can't give birth to children!"

This roar shocked the servants who greeted the master back home.

When Mrs. Xue arrived, she just heard these words, her face changed suddenly, and after driving the servants away, she stepped forward, "What's the matter?"

"Look at your good son," Old General Xue trembled with anger, "He can say such stupid things for a woman!"

Mrs. Xue was startled, then looked at Xue Yuan.

Xue Yuan grinned, "Old father, who told you that she is a woman?"

Old General Xue was taken aback.

Xue Yuan stretched his figure, thinking about what kind of family law he would have in a while, and whether he could protect his back, "My sweetheart is a man, so naturally I can't give you a grandson. I think Xue Er is good, you Don't you want grandchildren? Let Xue Ersheng have ten or eight children, so he can afford it."

General Xue looked at him seriously, and said with restraint: "Say it again."

It was the veteran's expression that truly raised his anger.

Madam Xue had tears in her eyes and looked at her son worriedly.

The last time General Xue was so angry, he beat Second Young Master Xue half to death.

Xue Yuan clicked his tongue.

He said in a calm manner: "General Xue, I will say it for the last time, you have to listen carefully."

Eyes raised, "I like a man, he must be. I can't lift anyone other than him."

On the second day, Xue Yuan did not enter the palace as expected.

Gu Yuanbai had already expected it in his heart, but when he occasionally called someone, he still subconsciously called out: "Xue Yuan."

At noon, Tian Fusheng waited on the Holy Majesty to fall asleep. He hesitated for a long time, but finally said in a low voice, "Holy Majesty, when I was sending the imperial doctor away the night before yesterday, I happened to meet Mr. Xue after returning home. The little one is at the corner. I heard a few conversations between Mr. Xue and the imperial doctors."

Gu Yuanbai closed his eyes and took a long breath, "Huh?"

"Master Xue is asking the imperial doctor." Tian Fusheng lowered his voice with difficulty, "when will you be able to do bed work?"

He originally thought that His Majesty would frown or become angry, but His Majesty unexpectedly hooked his lips and asked, "What did the imperial doctor say?"

Tian Fusheng choked, and said obediently: "The imperial doctor said that bed work can be done in half a month."

"Half a month," Gu Yuanbai snorted, "I remember."

Tian Fusheng had a weird face, "Master Xue said the same thing."

How come the Holy Majesty has a tacit understanding with Mr. Xue?

Gu Yuanbai laughed out loud.

He fell asleep with such a happy mood, and when he woke up, Tian Fusheng told him that the people buried in Xue's mansion came to report that Xue Yuan was used by the old general Xue last night, and had been buried in the ancestral hall. He was locked up all night with injuries.

As soon as Tian Fusheng finished speaking, Gu Yuanbai turned cold.His complexion was ugly, his eyes were dark, Tian Fusheng was trembling, "Your Majesty?"

"Prepare the horse," Gu Yuanbai said coldly after a while, "Go to Xue's residence."
