Northern Liao lost its threat, and it didn't matter whether the Southern Zhou protons were there or not.
"Go back and tell Nian Xu that if you are disrespectful, the southern Xinjiang army will be ready to destroy Southern Zhou as long as I give my order!"
"yes!"
The messenger bowed his head.
There was anger in his eyes.
The envoy resigned, and the emperor said: "I don't believe the report from Southern Xinjiang that the Southern Zhou army massacred the villages in Southern Xinjiang. I know that this is Shi Zhongtang's trick, and he just wants to use it to reach out to Chang'an and ask for more
Some money and food. A crying child will have food to eat. This Yunshan slave knows this very well."
Han Shitou smiled and said: "Your Majesty's eyes are as bright as lightning. Shi Zhongtang still thinks he has a plan. The next time he comes to Chang'an, my servant will scare him."
"You, you!" The emperor pointed at Han Shitou and said with a smile: "If you try to scare him, he will probably lose his mind. By the way, does the treasure of Southern Zhou have any friends in Chang'an?"
Han Shitou shook his head, "I rarely go out. Even if I go out, I only go to places with few people."
"Still a well-behaved one?"
Nian Ziyue didn't want to stay in Chang'an any longer.
After getting permission, she asked people to prepare her luggage and set off immediately.
"Princess, the Ministry of Rites sent someone to see you off."
Officials from the Ministry of Rites came and said they had prepared a ceremony outside the city to see the princess off.
"No need."
Nian Ziyue refused with a cold face.
The official said goodbye angrily, thinking that if you don't want to, the Ministry of Rites will save the trouble.
After the officials left, Nian Ziyue made a face and said, "I have been feeling aggrieved for a long time in Chang'an, so I finally vented my anger today."
Zhang Jing smiled, "Let's vent our anger! Nowadays, people in Chang'an are impetuous, and no one cares about the protons in Southern Zhou Dynasty."
"If you don't care, you don't care." Nian Ziyue said: "I often go out in plain clothes and find that there are more and more refugees in Chang'an and the officials are becoming more and more cruel. I have read a lot of Chang'an novels, but they are all the same routine and boring. I read history
.If you take a look, you will find that everything in the Tang Dynasty is similar to the scene before the fall of that dynasty."
"No way!" Zhang Jing was surprised.
In Zhang Jing's view, the Tang Dynasty was still the powerful Tang Dynasty that Southern Zhou Dynasty could only look up to.
"The Tang Dynasty was strong in the northern Xinjiang and in the southern Xinjiang." Nian Ziyue said: "This is because the branches are strong and the trunk is weak! Moreover, it was a situation created by Li Yuan, Li Mi and his sons."
"But over in Northern Xinjiang, the Duke of Qin said that he would live up to the Tang Dynasty in this life." Zhang Jing said: "Once he breaks his oath, everyone in the world will despise him, so why would he want to rebel?"
"It's simple!" Nian Ziyue said: "For example, let's pretend to be an assassin to assassinate him, capture the assassin, and say that he was sent by Chang'an. Then let someone pretend to be an assassin and poison his wife and children. This is unbearable.
It’s unbearable, he’s going to cheat on you, who can question it?”
"You will question it!" Zhang Jing felt that the princess was overthinking, "After all, she is the one who offended the superior."
The concept of the inviolability of the emperor's dignity is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Will the emperor assassinate you?
Hold it in!
The emperor poisoned himself and held it back!
Although it has not yet reached the realm of another world where the king asks the minister to die and the minister has to die, the following criminals are still like rats crossing the street, and everyone screams for beatings.
"Anyway, I don't think he has such a tolerable temper!" Nian Ziyue nodded forcefully, "His temper is that if anyone punches me, I will beat him to death. If anyone dares to kick me, I will beat him to death.
Break his legs."
After leaving the city, Nian Ziyue felt relaxed all over and said with a smile, "I feel a lot lighter all over."
Everyone looked at the princess who had stayed away from home for the great Zhou Dynasty and saluted.
"Congratulations princess!"
"You should be happy too!" Nian Zi said with a smile.
yes!
Everyone is happy to be able to go back.
Two people came from the front. After bowing, the leader said: "I, Jiang Xing, have been ordered to see off the princess."
Zhang Jing stepped forward, Jiang Xing originally
The two of them met once when they came to Ziyue's residence during the New Year.
"Thank you so much, Lord." Zhang Jing saluted on behalf of Nian Ziyue.
"The Duke's envoy is in front, please meet with the princess." Jiang Xing turned sideways.
Zhang Jing went back and said, "Princess, the people from the Duke of Qin in Northern Xinjiang are here and want to see the princess."
The envoy who came to pick up Nian Ziyue said: "The Duke of Qin is called Yang Ni by the government and the public, and the lower officials think it is best not to see him."
It’s time to leave, there’s no need to create extraneous matters.
But Nian Ziyue raised an eyebrow and said, "Go and have a look."
messenger:"."
There are sheds ahead, and there are quite a few of them.
Jiang Xing lowered his eyes slightly and did not even look at Nian Ziyue who was walking towards him. When the envoy saw him, he praised him: "You know how to be polite."
"Princess, please!"
Jiang Xing stretched out his hand and whispered: "No one is following the princess!"
Nian Ziyue felt relieved. "I'm just an inconspicuous person. Why do you follow me?"
Not blind? If you have the ability, you can take off the power sculpture that covers your face and see if it is blind.
In the shed, Cao Ying held her hand from afar and said with a smile: "I am a bit sensitive, so it is not easy for me to show my face."
At this moment, Cao Ying's appearance had changed so much that Zhang Jing could not recognize her, "Who are you?"
"I'm Cao Ying." Cao Ying said, "I met Commander Zhang before."
"You are too tall." Zhang Jing suddenly thought of the situation in Northern Xinjiang and Chang'an.
Nian Ziyue entered the shed and saw no wine, but there was a wooden box.
"Before I come to Chang'an, the state bus told me that the princess's time in Chang'an should be short. If she wants to leave, I will ask me to see her off."
Before Cao Ying was about to leave for Chang'an, someone suddenly came to the backyard and said that his wife wanted to see him.
Cao Ying was stunned, wondering why she needed to avoid the Duke?
After meeting, Zhou Ning said: "You are going to Chang'an now. The treasure of Southern Zhou should still be there, right?"
"Yes." Cao Ying said.
"However, he is not young anymore. Now that the Northern Liao Dynasty is no longer a threat to the Southern Zhou Dynasty, the protons are in name only. If Nian Xu loves his daughter, it is time to take her back."
"Yes!" Cao Ying felt that Madam had sharp eyesight and clear thinking, and she was worthy of being the duke's virtuous wife.
But why did Madam bring up this matter?
"I'm going to Chang'an now. If Nian Ziyue wants to leave, you can go and see her off. Remember, tell her that the Duke is always thinking of her!"
When he said these words, Zhou Ning looked calm, reminding Cao Ying of someone.
Queen!
"The Duke's status is sensitive and he cannot come to see you off, but he said it before leaving."
Cao Ying took a peek at Nian Ziyue, and there was a look of confusion on Mi Luo's somewhat blurry pretty face.
Obviously, it brought back memories!
There's drama!
Cao Ying said: "The Duke has always thought about the princess!"
Mi Luo trembled.
"I see."
When Nian Ziyue turned around, Cao Ying picked up the wooden box and said, "This is a gift from the Duke to the princess."
Zhang Jing came over and took the wooden box, and then the group mounted their horses and left.
Zhang Jing opened the wooden box on horseback and was stunned.
"What is it?" Nian Ziyue asked.
Zhang Jing handed over the wooden box.
"Eh!"
Nianzi was surprised.
In the wooden box, a warm jade hairpin lies quietly in the silk and satin. Its shape is so beautiful that people can't help but want to reach out and hold it.
Nian Ziyue held the jade hairpin and thought of the alley.
And that boy.
In the shed behind him, Jiang Xing asked: "Is the Duke interested in this woman?"
"No!" Cao Ying said, "It's Madam who is interested in her!"
"Madam?" Jiang Xing was startled, "Could it be?"
"Is the wife the only one in the harem? Even if the Duke and the wife are deeply in love, they can't stand up to the outside world saying that the wife is fierce. And if this is the case, the Zhou family will be in big trouble."
"If the queen is fierce, the outside world will doubt what the Zhou family wants to do."
What?"
"So, Madam, you are thinking about the Duke. What do you think of this woman?"
“Beautiful!”
"I asked you how would you like to be a concubine?"
“Of course it’s pleasing to the eye!”
"That's good!"
"Hey! Lao Cao, can't you see it yourself?"
"I don't know about beauty and ugliness."
"Give it! Give it!"
Someone was shouting in front of them. Pedestrians avoided it and saw several Taoist priests coming on horseback. Then, there was a middle-aged Taoist priest with an extraordinary bearing.
"It's Chang Sheng!" Jiang Xing whispered: "This is the emperor's right-hand man who started his career, and the contribution of Jianyunguan was indispensable that night!"
Jiang Xing gritted his teeth when talking about his contribution.
That night, many good soldiers besieged the confinement of Emperor Xiaoxian, including Fangwairen.
Cao Ying said calmly: "Don't worry, the Duke is broad-minded and will definitely forget those grudges."
You'll see a ghost if you forget.
…Jiang Xing saw Huahua.
Hua Hua is an ordinary girl. She is carrying a bamboo basket and looks like a peasant woman. She is nearby and follows Chang Sheng.
After entering the city, Chang Sheng went to the imperial city, where Huahua was selling pancakes outside.
"Come on two!"
Cao Ying went over and squatted flipping pancakes.
"What are you doing here?" Huahua asked.
"I'm asking you why you followed Chang Sheng." Cao Ying took two cakes.
"This man is mysterious. Many things that were looming back then had the shadow of Jianyun Temple."
"Be careful!"
"I don't need you to remind me of this." Huahua said coldly, "You should just worry about yourself!"
"What do you mean?" Cao Ying asked.
Huahua took the copper coins he handed over and said, "There is someone following you!"
grass!
Cao Ying couldn't help but touch her face, wondering if there was a flaw?
But even so, Chang'an is so big, there is no reason to meet someone who knows me!
Cao Ying stood up, took a bite of the pancake.
He turned around slowly, but he couldn't see anyone being suspicious.
"That stupid-looking man!" Huahua picked up the bamboo basket and walked away.
Damn it!
This woman doesn't want to solve my husband's troubles.
Cao Ying immediately turned around a few times and caught the man in the alley.
"Why are you following me?"
The man was frightened by his cultivation. "There is a jade hairpin in that wooden box, villain. I want to rob someone of my fortune!"
Cao Ying slapped her away, and the man rolled his eyes, he was really stupid.
"I've seen a real person!"
Han Shitou personally came to greet Chang Sheng, which gave the great master Miao Sheng face.
Chang Sheng nodded slightly, "Is Your Majesty here?"
"Your Majesty is here, please follow us."
Han Shitou took Chang Sheng into the pear garden.
As soon as you enter, the music continues.
There is also a fragrant breeze.
A group of singers were resting on the edge. The weather was so cold, but they were only wearing gauze, and their bodies were looming.
Chang Sheng turned a blind eye and followed Han Shitou in.
The emperor was watching the singing and dancing. When Chang Sheng came in, the emperor smiled and said, "I have been practicing very diligently recently, but I don't want to come to the palace to talk to me."
"I have gained something recently, so I went into retreat." Chang Sheng said.
"sit!"
The emperor and Chang Sheng have known each other for decades, but they have lost a lot of politeness.
Chang Sheng sat down and the emperor said: "I always find it difficult to sleep recently. As soon as I lie down and cover myself with the quilt, I feel heavy in my chest and restless."
"This is because you are restless." Chang Sheng said: "Your Majesty, you should get more rest. In addition, since the weather is cold, you can eat more warm and tonic foods to reconcile yin and yang."
The two then discussed mysteries and Taoism, and the emperor was very interested.
After a while, the emperor became thirsty, and a servant brought tea.
Chang Sheng stood up and said, "I change my clothes."
The emperor nodded, and naturally a servant would take him there.
When passing by the chamberlain delivering tea, a gust of wind blew, and the chamberlain couldn't help but squint his eyes. Chang Sheng
With a slight shake of his hand, the medicinal powder fell into the dark tea soup.
There was a hint of understanding in the depths of Chang Sheng's eyes, and then he went out.
Tea was brought but put aside.
Han Shitou went out in person and brought a cup of tea over after a while.
The emperor took it and took a sip.
"His Majesty."
The imperial concubine is here, and the cup of tea beside her belongs to her.
The two of them were drinking tea opposite each other, when a chamberlain came to report, "Your Majesty, the abbot has something to see you."
The emperor stood up and said, "I will come as soon as I go."
Chang Sheng came out and heard that the emperor had something to do, so he also left.
After leaving the palace, a close disciple who was accompanying him said, "Did the master succeed?"
Chang Sheng nodded, "The emperor is greedy for pleasure and consumes energy and energy. The medicine I gave is not poisonous, but it can speed up the recovery. When he is reduced to skin and bones, he will definitely be flustered. The ministers will make suggestions and make plans.
The dispute between Yang Songcheng and King Wei, and the emperor has resumed, and with Yang Xuan's eye on Northern Xinjiang, the world will be in chaos. Chaos, good!"
The imperial concubine drank a cup of tea, and within a few days, she suddenly felt lighter.
"Look, I've lost weight?"
The imperial concubine took off her clothes and asked.
Jiao Li looked at this body and said, "Yes! She has lost weight!"
The imperial concubine put on her clothes and said, "Send a message, saying that I am hungry and want more meat."
"yes!"
When Jiao Li went out, the imperial concubine said quietly: "He likes my fat body. If I lose weight,"
From then on, the imperial concubine fell in love with fat meat.
"Your Majesty, drink tea!"
In the pear garden, Han Shitou presented a cup of medicinal tea.
The emperor took a sip happily and said, "I have been drinking this herbal tea for more than ten years and have maintained good health."
"I just hope that your majesty will live a long life." Han Shitou said sincerely.
"You, you!" The emperor pointed at him and smiled slightly.
Han Shitou was responsible for all the emperor's meals. Every tea and meal had to be arranged carefully to prevent any accidents.
