The second story of the ancient sword II

The golden curtain hangs behind the golden dragon seat, and the majestic warm color of the Tai Chi Hall is in strong contrast with the desolate winter scene outside.The cough that could not be concealed and the haggard eyes all showed that Emperor Sheng Yuan's physique was deteriorating.On the dragon seat, he has gray hair on his temples and trembling fingers, but his eyes are still majestic.I have already read the papers submitted by officials at all levels. The year is approaching and the domestic situation is still stable.But when he thought about the problems of Heshuo and the frontier feudal states, his peace of mind was disturbed again.

"The end of the year is approaching, what's your opinion on the border riots?" Emperor Sheng Yuan glanced across the faces of the ministers.

"The old minister thinks that although their military strength is strong, it will take some time before they can become self-reliant, so they have to rely on the authority of the court officials to stabilize the military situation." The left servant took a step forward.

"Aiqing mean to grant Jiedushi again?" Emperor Shengyuan stroked his beard, thinking in his heart that what he said had some truth, this is repaying hatred with virtue.If they take advantage of the royal ranks to show their prestige and establish their lives, this determines that they will not be able to break through the control of the court, but how many people will be truly convinced?Thinking of this Emperor Sheng Yuan couldn't help but frown again, trying to sort out a stable political situation before the deadline is so exhausting!

"The veteran thinks that it is better to control the barbarians with the barbarians." Kong Shangshu of the Ministry of War finally couldn't hold back, and came forward respectfully with a jade dendrobium in his hand.

Using barbarians to control barbarians, Emperor Sheng Yuan took a look at Kong Shangshu, this would indeed save a lot of trouble.But the disadvantages are still self-evident, and at the same time, he turned his attention to Yi Ze: "What the Shangshu said is not unreasonable, what is the third prince's opinion?"

"Using the barbarians to control the barbarians is a labor-saving method, but after a long time, it may be difficult to restrain them, and it is inevitable to support the soldiers. This kind of governance requires careful consideration." After a pause, the barbarians continued, "The left servant shot In other words, the selection of local military envoys is a safe strategy, but it will inevitably cause turmoil within the feudal town. It is better to start with the literature, submit the household registration, and check the regional atlas, so that you can know the comprehensive strength of the local area..."

Hearing what Yi Ze said, Kong Shangshu's heart was churning. It seemed that his future son-in-law did not agree with his idea.But there was still no wave on his face.

It should be feasible to manage the household registration and check the territory to correspond to Heshuo. Yi Ze's words reminded Emperor Shengyuan.After a moment of silence, Emperor Shengyuan shifted the conversation to more difficult issues, "How is Heshuo doing with this year's autumn grain and taxes?"

"Increase the number." Hubu Shangshu walked forward tremblingly, his forehead was sweating uncontrollably.The second prince gave him a look, and he quickly changed his words: "Compared to previous years, it has greatly improved."

"En." Emperor Sheng Yuan snorted softly, and he had already seen the eye contact with the second prince.For those bastards who came to study, he didn't have a lot in mind. It was definitely not the second child's intention to do that. The person behind the scenes was self-evident.After thinking for a while, he continued to speak: "Six prefectures and all vassal states, before the winter solstice, submit the regional atlas, household registration, and military registration one by one."

Present all these main items?When the second prince Li Kang heard this, his heart became furious, he wanted to check his family background!It seems that some things cannot be hidden.Looking back at Yi Ze's clear eyes, Li Kang cursed secretly in his heart, expressionless, is he waiting to see me?Before he could finish thinking about it, the man on the dragon seat spoke slowly again: "Young masters of all the prefectures, you are too good at learning literature. At the end of the winter solstice, in order to honor the good achievements of all the students and promote the etiquette of the Tang Dynasty, I wish you all the sons of the prefectures Chang'an See you." Emperor Shengyuan said, and gave Li Kang a meaningful look, and Li Kang hurried forward upon seeing this.

"What my father said is true, this is a great strategy to promote Confucianism!" Li Kang said with a smile on his face, but his heart was full of resentment.It was said earlier that he would hand over the family property, but later he asked the prince to come on a pilgrimage. It is not obvious that he wants to confine the hostages...

"Then retreat from the court." Emperor Sheng Yuan said no more, and left the court hall with a flick of his sleeves.

In the snow-like celadon pots, the tender green narcissus grows very strong.Inside the layers of thick, short and thick leaves, there are full grains of flower buds dressed in light feather coats.The naughty Ari straightened her body from time to time, resting her head on the table to see when it will bloom, and would stretch out her little furry paws when Aruan was not prepared.

"Ah Li..." Ah Ruan who was behind him intentionally prolonged the ending, and Ah Li, who was concentrating on it, suddenly heard the call and almost bumped into Ah Ruan's huge belly in panic.

"Let's go and play." A Ruan stroked its small head, and at the same time signaled the big and small spirit beasts to go out for a walk with his eyes.

Ah Li let out a slight cry, and the small eyes of Shui Lingling looked at Ah Ruan blankly for a while with a look of grievance, as if to say, you have a baby, do you not like us anymore?Ah Ruan understood immediately, and quickly touched it for a long time before the guy reluctantly ran away.

As soon as he sat down, Wenren came in with a sewing basket and a large piece of clothing, and closed the door, "Sister Ruan, I've found everything you want. With such a strong wind, it's not good to blow in and catch the cold."

"I'm hot, and I'm sweating every time I move, and I feel very tired."

Wenren stared blankly at Ah Ruan's stomach for a long time: "It's no wonder that it doesn't get tired when it's so big."

"Yes, this little guy is going to meet us in less than a month. He tosses me every day, so he should be a good material for martial arts. Sister Wenren, can you teach little Yi to dance with a gun in the future? "Ah Ruan said while carefully putting together the cut fabrics.

"Dance the gun?" Wenren looked up at A Ruan: "It's fine for boys to dance the gun, but if girls also learn this? Can't you be like me who can do nothing but dance the gun, not at all...not at all." lady..."

"Huh? Not a lady? Wenren's elder sister is not a lady." A Ruan looked at Wenren with some puzzlement, "Then, why don't you learn how to make Yanjia from Xiao Yezi! You can learn everything, if you are not obedient, Sister Wenren will help me discipline and discipline me well."

"……it is good……"

"Sister Wenren, hurry up and get a little leaf, so that they can play together in the future."

"This... that can be said to be there..." Wenren looked down at his flat belly, feeling a little uneasy.

After staying in Binhai Palace for a day, Wenren came home in the evening, and as soon as he entered the house, he could smell the smell of food wafting from the kitchen all over the courtyard.The surrounding area was very quiet, even Roubao squinted his eyes and lay lazily on the ground.

"Hey...it smells so delicious, only Ben Yanshi has this kind of delicacy..." Wuyi was wearing an apron, muttering in his mouth, and was walking towards the main hall with a plate of dishes.Before the proud words were finished, it was seen that Wenren had returned.

"Daughter-in-law, I came back so early today, your husband and I haven't finished our special dish yet, just wait..."

"Hey, no difference, why do you cook by yourself, so you are not afraid of being seen and criticized by your father?"

"...father and mother are not at home...they have gone out."

"Where did you go? It's late at night and you haven't come back yet? Do you want to go out and look for it?" Wenren said as he stood up from his chair.

"Uh...no need." Wuyi scratched his head, "Together...go...to southern Xinjiang."

"Huh?" Wenren looked up at Wuyi who was stuttering, thinking that this guy must have something to hide from her.

It's like looking at Wen Ren's burning eyes, and immediately felt guilty, and she clearly wasn't a liar, but before she left, she had repeatedly told her not to tell the Wen Ren.He licked his dry lips, and then looked at Wenren, as if he had done something wrong: "They... they just got tired of staying at home, wandering around,... By the way... By the way... that ……that……"

"What is that?"

"That... my mother said that there is a secret recipe for having children in her hometown... I found it and used it..." As soon as the words came out, I immediately regretted it, stupid, what are you talking about?

"Oh." Wenren replied calmly, then quickly turned around to walk out.

"Hey, I said..." Wuyi rubbed her hands together, feeling that something was wrong, and hurried after her.Turning over Wenren's shoulder, she saw that her face was already covered with tears.

"What... what's going on?" Wu Yi hurriedly reached out to wipe her tears, but she wiped more and more tears: "Did Yi Ze bully you?"

"It's no different, what nonsense are you talking about, father, mother, and Yi Ze are all good to me, I am not up to date..." Wenren sobbed, "I have been married for more than half a year, and I am also afraid... ..."

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid... How can it be so fast... There is no rush, no hurry! You are just too nervous." Wuyi said with a serious face, "Yi Ze and Sister Fairy, it is not only a year later ..."

"Yeah." Wenren stopped crying.

"Wenren..." Wuyi called her name softly, supported her shoulders, and pressed her forehead against her forehead, her amber eyes immediately became blurred.

"No, Wuyi, you..." Wenren in his arms seemed to realize something, he was very nervous, and looked around the yard uneasily, and the white mist from his mouth and nose sprayed Wuyi's face.

"Don't move." Wuyi stretched out his hand to wrap Wenren's slender waist, "Don't you want a child? Then... it's better to hit the sun than choose the day."

"What? You haven't eaten yet..." Before he could finish speaking, his mouth was sealed.

"I can't care about that much... right now..." After the shallow kiss was over, Wu Yi hurried into the room with Wenren in his arms...

The veil hangs lightly, the fingers are intertwined, and the affection is tender... There are no candles in the house, and it is very beautiful under the faint moonlight.

"Wuyi, are you... hungry?" Wenren's voice softened.

"Oh, I'm a little hungry..." Wuyi wiped the sweat from her forehead, lay down beside Wenren, and brushed her forehead hair. "I cooked you a lot of your favorite dishes." Wuyi was talking, muttering in her heart that the smell wafting into the house was rather strange.

"Wuyi, you are so kind to me." There was a faint smile on Wenren's face, and suddenly she sniffled, "Wuyi... what does it smell like?"

"Oops—" the two yelled in unison.

"Could it be... oh my cooking!" Wuyi yelled and quickly picked up his clothes.Before I put it on, I heard Jixiang Ruyi bluffing outside.

"Master—it's not good—the kitchen is on fire—"
