Chapter 355: Before leaving
With Xue Zhao's ability, it is more than enough to be an emperor.
In this world, there are only things that Xue Zhao doesn't want to do, and there is nothing he can't do.
Although such a statement is too miraculous, it does prove some of his abilities.
Because of the brotherly relationship, because the Puyang clan is a big family for hundreds of years, it is more famous, so Xue Zhao gave up the throne to the current emperor, and he is willing to be a courtier.
These old events involve the lives of the people of the Weiguo Mansion and the stability of the Great Zhou Dynasty, so no one dares to mention them for many years, and younger people don't know about these things.
It is also good, so as not to be suspicious of the monarch and the ministers, and cause countless troubles.
Xue Jinyi said: "I also have this intention, so when I was waiting in the carriage, I had already written a letter. As she spoke, she pulled out a letter from her sleeve, and the carriage was always stocked with pen and ink, so it was very convenient to write it.
She placed the envelope in front of Pu Yangxuan.
"Ah Xuan, you and Liu Shizhong and Zhongshu Ling have a look, what if there is something wrong with what I wrote?"
"Okay." Pu Yangxuan shook open the letter.
The beautiful hairpin flower was displayed in front of everyone, but this good word that even the emperor would praise, the three of them did not have the heart to taste it, but read the letter seriously.
Xue Jinyi's letter is very simple.
Tell Wei Guogong that the king of Chu will go to the frontier and negotiate peace with the Suo people.
Nothing else.
Liu Shizhong stroked his beard and nodded approvingly: "Princess Chu is thoughtful, such a letter only needs to be written so simply, in case someone with a heart intercepts the letter and leaks some secrets." ”
Xue Jinyi smiled: "That's what I thought. Just tell my father that Ah Xuan will go to the frontier, and what exactly he wants to do, his father will arrange it. ”
"Yes, yes, yes." Liu Shizhong folded the letter, put it back in the envelope, and pushed it back in front of Xue Jinyi, "Princess Chu has always been thoughtful. ”
In the last murder case in the Chu Palace, he had already seen the calmness and intelligence of this princess who was different from ordinary people.
"Xia Guan thought...... Princess Chu will accompany His Royal Highness the King of Chu to the frontier, right? ”
"Yes." Xue Jinyi nodded without hesitation, and then looked at Pu Yangxuan.
Pu Yangxuan also happened to look over, and the two looked at each other with only firm faith and deep love in their eyes.
Liu Shizhong really admires Princess Chu a lot, how many people can have such courage as her?
And this courage does not arise from ignorance, but is based on one's own abilities.
He learned from the people of the rivers and lakes to hug their fists to the King of Chu and the Princess of Chu, "The lower officials must do their best to select the most suitable and reliable accompanying officials and guards for the King of Chu and the princess, and they will definitely protect the two of them desperately, so that you can return safely!" ”
Xue Jinyi and Pu Yangxuan thanked in unison.
Liu Shizhong was a little embarrassed, waved his hand and said: "I don't want to be an old official, I'm afraid it will be a hindrance, otherwise I must go out for a walk with the king of Chu and the princess." Speaking of which, Liu Shangshu ordered that old guy to definitely make an obstacle from it, either by transferring talented people or by inserting his own henchmen. ”
"Don't worry," Zhongshuling, who hadn't spoken much, spoke, "Let's check the two of us together, can Liu Shangshuling help us?" ”
"Haha!" Liu Shizhong laughed, and proudly exchanged glances with Zhongshuling, "Liu Shangshuling wants to put us together, but we can also not let him have a good time." He'll have to be careful, and he'll lose his black hat by playing tricks, which will be very funny. ”
Looking at the two officials, Xue Jinyi was amused, and the atmosphere was very relaxed, as if what was waiting for them was not a difficult and dangerous trip to the frontier, but an ordinary outing.
That's good, the oppressive atmosphere makes people pessimistic, and it doesn't bring any good.
As he spoke, there was a knock on the door of the private room, and it was the shopkeeper who personally brought the food.
The pungent fragrance made Liu Shizhong's eyes light up, "How do you feel that the color and aroma of these dishes are better than those made by the imperial chef?" ”
"Don't dare to be." Pu Yangxuan said modestly: "It was Ah Jin's suggestion that made the meal even better." ”
"What's the matter, it's Ah Xuan who found the cook who is very good in itself, okay?" Xue Jinyi's eyebrows fluttered, and he took a piece of pork ribs and put it in his bowl, "Eat more, gain weight before you go, so that even if you lose weight after a trip, you won't lose anywhere, and it won't affect your handsome appearance." ”
"So are you." Pu Yangxuan sandwiched a piece of braised pig's trotters to her.
The sweet and sweet appearance of the two looked in Liu Shizhong's eyes, full of emotion.
Think about the previous King of Chu, and then look at the current King of Chu, it feels like a world of difference...... If he were the former King of Chu, he would never do his best to help something, because he felt that it was unnecessary. But today's King of Chu makes people feel gentle and friendly, and he has such courage, and he will ...... in the future
He stroked his beard and smiled.
There's going to be a great future, right?
Wei Guogong will not be wrong.
"Then the next official has to taste it carefully!" Liu Shizhong picked up a piece of braised pig's trotters and took a bite, the pigskin was stewed soft and glutinous, and the taste of the sauce had penetrated deep into the bone marrow, he didn't have to chew twice, the skin and meat were already broken, and the mouth was full of meat, "Not bad, I'm not a person with a good tooth, I can also eat delicious braised pig's trotters, it seems that I will come often in the future?" ”
"Welcome, Liu Shizhong." Xue Jinyi smiled.
"Good, good!" Liu Shizhong's mouth was stuffed with food, and he replied vaguely.
Why didn't you know about such a delicious liquor store earlier?
The atmosphere was extraordinarily joyful and harmonious.
Several people generally ate and drank, while discussing the matters that needed to be prepared before leaving, Xue Jinyi also specially recorded all of them to facilitate checking and filling in the gaps, and then took advantage of the night, Liu Shizhong and Zhongshuling left the wine shop one after another.
Xue Jinyi sat by the window, looking at the bright starry sky, and hiccups in satisfaction.
Pu Yangxuan handed over a cup of tea, then hugged her waist from behind, and slowly sniffed the familiar and elegant aroma.
"When are you going to go?" Xue Jinyi asked softly.
The four of them didn't decide on the departure date just now, Liu Shizhong and Zhongshuling agreed that they needed to discuss it with trusted officials again, this day should not be too urgent, otherwise they would not be properly prepared, that is, they would enter the tiger's mouth, and it should not be too late, otherwise it would give Cai's faction a chance to question.
Pu Yangxuan said: "I think it will be three days later. What about you? ”
"Hmm." Xue Jinyi nodded, "Three days is enough time to prepare everything." ”
She blinked slowly, it was a pity that many planned things had to be postponed, but when they returned victorious, they would be able to do it even more!
"Wait until tomorrow to meet with Liu Shizhong and them, and make it official." Pu Yangxuan said, hugging his wife in his arms closer, as if he was afraid that a little let go would make people fly away.
Xue Jinyi felt his strength, grabbed the hand he held in front of his abdomen, and smiled softly: "I'm thinking, it's a pity that this big thing has been done, but the credit can't fall on your head." ”
The king of Chu, who was not liked by the emperor, could not receive any credit.
That is something that the emperor will never allow.
"Hmm." Pu Yangxuan rubbed her face on her shoulder, and said indifferently: "If it is done, the credit will be distributed to the officials below." ”
Xue Jinyi looked at him with a smile on her head, "Tsk, His Royal Highness the King of Chu is really good at buying people's hearts?" ”
