On the throne at this time in the twenty-seventh stanza, Hu Lan was holding a cup, touching it with Zhu Huai, and then raising a glass at the same time. Zhu Huai laughed, looked very happy, clapped his hands and said, "It's really fun today, I got to know a handsome man like Childe." Come and dance. As soon as his voice fell, more than a dozen majestic sergeants wearing silver and bright armor came out from behind. In the rumbling drums, stepping on the drums interspersed with each other, stabbing and fighting.

It's wartime, and Zhu Huai's practice of this dance also has the meaning of boosting morale, and Wu Ming doesn't think it's strange. The banquet became more and more lively, not only did he dance, but later he even invited a wandering lyricist to perform a ventriloquist. That old man is really powerful, a lonely person, who can make more than a dozen different sounds at the same time. Wu Ming was dumbfounded when he heard it, he really couldn't understand what was going on, the art of ventriloquism, he had seen it on the earth before, but he was so perfect, he really didn't think about it as a second person, but Xuanyuan Ling was fascinated when he heard it, and applauded from time to time.

The banquet has reached its climax, and everyone is a little carried away. Wu Ming was a little distracted, just now, what was going on with Li Zhong's gaffe and Hu Lan's abnormality? Hu Lan traveled south and north and met Li Zhong, Xiahou Tian was naturally not surprised, but if he was really just an ordinary businessman, would Li Zhong be so abnormal?

There must be something greasy in it, but he couldn't think of it, he smiled bitterly, and wanted to throw this thought away. It seems that Zhu Huai's arrangement naturally has his deep meaning, take the time to ask, I don't know if I will sue myself.

At this time, the old student who performed ventriloquism had already gone down, and he should be on the next show. But there was no movement for a long time, and everyone was a little strange, but seeing that Zhu Huai was still pestering Hu Lan to talk and laugh in the seat, no one dared to go up and ask. Wu Ming was nothing, but Xuanyuan Ling tilted his head and said: "Oh, it's just gone, it's really boring, Zhu Lao'er is really stingy, is it just a few shows?" ”

Before her words fell, there was a sudden "bang", and the gate of the courtyard was suddenly pushed open, and Tang Xuan, wearing a red court uniform, strode in under the arch guard of several forbidden troops. Xuanyuan Ling suddenly laughed and said: "It turns out that the next show is Brother Tang coming to perform, no wonder I have been preparing for so long, yes, yes!" ”

Wu Ming couldn't cry or laugh, and said, "Don't make trouble, your big brother Tang has something important to announce." ”

This idea was come up with by Wu Ming, and what Tang Xuan was going to say next, Wu Ming naturally knew it. He was secretly amused in his heart, Zhu Huai arranged Tang Xuan to appear at this time, it was when everyone was between confused and half-confused, once he learned the news, it is estimated that most of everyone's drinking spirit would disappear immediately.

At this time, Tang Xuan had already walked into the middle of the field, and said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty has a purpose." Everyone was a little confused, but seeing that Zhu Huai had already stood up from his seat and bowed to the ground, everyone didn't dare to slack off, and they got up from their seats one after another and knelt down. Xuanyuan Ling was stunned, reacted, and muttered: "It turned out to be true, not a show." Wu Ming hurriedly pulled her and fell to the ground together.

Tang Xuan didn't look at everyone, and unfolded a holy decree and read it aloud: "Fengtian carrier, the Eastern Han Dynasty Emperor Restoration Edict said: Now the jackal is in charge, the internal and external difficulties are difficult, and the prices of Nanning are soaring." I learned from the pain and decided to open the official warehouse and sell it at a low price. to relieve the burning of the subjects. If there are participating ministers, they are willing to donate surplus grain to help the official warehouse, and will be given official bank subsidies as appropriate. Chin this. ”

Everyone was in a dream in the clouds, and before they could react, Zhu Huai had already taken the lead and said loudly: "The minister obeys the order." They fell on their knees and recited it in unison.

After reading it, Tang Xuan put away the holy decree, and then smiled and saluted Zhu Huai, who had already stood up, and said, "Your Majesty has seen the Prime Minister. Zhu Huai smiled and nodded. He said to the people who had already gotten up: "Everyone, you have heard the content of the holy decree just now, the price of this grain has been high, and it has affected the livelihood of the people in Nanning. I discussed it with my mother, and we all felt that the people took food as the sky, and this food price problem could not be delayed any longer, so I decided that even if the official warehouse was empty, the grain price should be suppressed.

Wu Ming climbed up with everyone, and his heart was relieved. It is enough to have Zhu Huai say such a sentence. If everyone still had doubts about the content of the holy decree just now, Zhu Huai's words turned the above content into a sure thing. As long as these people get this news, they will definitely sell off the grain they have hoarded tomorrow, and the price of grain in Nanning will be self-relieved by then. This is also what he thought about for a long time.

The subtlety of this idea lies in the fact that the official only needs to release such a message, but in fact it can not produce a grain of grain. Merchants and families are hoarding grain in their hands, which is nothing more than profit, but now that the officials have made up their minds to open a position to calm prices, the price will definitely fall, and they will naturally sell it, and once they sell, the price will naturally drop even more. The government will no longer have to use military rations.

The pot has already exploded below, and many people have hammered their chests, and many people have foreseen that the price of food will fall, and those who have hoarded a lot may not even have their underwear left. A wealthy businessman probably hoarded the most, and said urgently: "Prime Minister, this is a holy decree issued without a sound, and you have to give everyone a message first, so that people can prepare." As soon as this person shouted, the voices of echo came and went, obviously in a hurry, and everyone couldn't think about Zhu Huai's power.

Zhu Huai put his hands behind his back, looked around, his face sank, and he shouted angrily: "What, do you still need your consent to make a holy decree?" As he spoke, he pointed to the leader just now: "This person despised the laws of the imperial court, dragged him out, punished him with a cane, confiscated his family property, and banned the right to do business in Nanning forever." Give me a heartbeat. As soon as his voice fell, the few forbidden soldiers who had broken in with Tang Xuan just now suddenly made a violent promise, rushed over, tied up the rich merchant like a wolf, and dragged him out. The rich businessman's fat face was so frightened that he shouted: "The prime minister spares his life, and the prime minister is gracious." ”

Zhu Huai was still silent with a cold face, and the forbidden soldiers put the rich businessman under the eaves, pulled down his pants, revealed a white buttocks, and raised the board to fight. Suddenly the screams turned into screams, mixed with the sound of the court staff entering the flesh. Xuanyuan Ling whispered: "Brother, this person is finished estimating and will be killed." Go and ask for a favor. ”

Wu Ming was stunned and said, "What? Xuanyuan Ling turned his head, as if he couldn't bear to look at it anymore, and said, "Brother, you don't know, the court staff also has a doorway." The slogans are: fight, fight hard, fight hard. The so-called beating is what it means, don't take it seriously, just fool around twice and it'll be fine. And to really fight, that is, to really fight, how to come, how to come, whether you can stand it, it depends on your personal physique. The most powerful thing is to fight with your heart, as long as it is this password, it is basically beaten to the death, and you must not be soft. ”

Wu Ming suddenly wanted to laugh, this little girl didn't understand anything else, and she specialized in making trouble in the palace, but she didn't expect to be quite familiar with these studies. But he's not the kind of person who is indiscriminate, thinking of the yellow-skinned refugees in the city. Hearing the screams of this rich businessman, he only felt that his heart was happy, and he would ask for mercy there.

During the conversation between the two, the rich merchant's head tilted, and he had already passed out. Zhu Huai didn't ask anyone to wake him up and come back. just glanced at everyone coldly, and said, "Everyone, is there anyone who doesn't understand the words of the holy decree?" The old man is willing to guide and guide. "The air seemed to be freezing cold, and who dared not understand the meaning of the decree now. Everyone was so frightened that they couldn't speak, and the happy atmosphere just now suddenly disappeared.

At this time, everyone understood that the banquet of the prime minister was not so delicious, it turned out to be a Hongmen banquet. Zhu Huai swept his eyes around, and saw that everyone was silent, so he nodded and said slowly: "It seems that everyone is clear, today's banquet is here." Everyone went back to prepare and get ready, and had a good understanding of my good intentions. ”

In fact, there is no need for him to say that there is still any interest in the banquet there. When many people heard this, they left their seats one after another and came over to say goodbye to Zhu Huai. Wu Ming's heart was uneasy, his attention was all on the last sentence that Zhu Huai leaked out, the order just now was clearly the content of the holy decree, but he made people understand the good intentions of "me". If this had been put in the past, it would have been a great sin of deceit. But now, who dares to govern this powerful prime minister, there is not even a voice of questioning.

He smiled bitterly in his heart, hoping that this was just a mistake in Zhu Huai's mouth. While thinking, he went with everyone to say goodbye to Zhu Huai, and when he walked to Zhu Huai's side, he saw Hu Lan still sitting cross-legged on the main seat. Wu Ming suddenly remembered that when Hu Lan received the holy decree just now, he didn't seem to move, it seems that this person is really a bit maverick. It's just that for some reason, Zhu Huai still turns a blind eye.

After greeting the two, the two walked towards the outside of the Hundred Crane Tower with the flow of people. Before he walked a few steps, he heard Zhu Huailang say in a loud voice: "Old Hu, this Nanning has not been peaceful recently, you take someone to protect the Baihe Tower, don't let the idlers hurt the son." ”

Wu Ming's heart sank, he was going to isolate Hu Lan and monitor him, who is this Hu Lan? made Zhu Huai so aggressive.

Walking out of the Hundred Crane Tower, Lin Wu and the other four had been waiting outside for a long time. The two got into the carriage together and hurried towards the Guard Palace. At this time, it was about the time of the child, and the entire Nanning City was immersed in darkness. Now it's been forbidden outside for a long time, and only one or two cars occasionally sound in the direction of the Hundred Crane Tower behind him. Both of them were thinking about their hearts, and they were speechless for a while.

Xuanyuan Ling said suddenly: "Brother, I can see it clearly today, what swordsmanship, wrestling is empty." To defeat the Li family's father and son, only by grasping more rights. For example, today's Zhu Huai, under the order, don't dare to disobey. After all, the power of one person is too thin. ”

Wu Ming was stunned, and his heart was suddenly deflated, he had been avoiding Xuanyuan Ling from being blinded by hatred, but he didn't expect this little girl to say such a thing today. He sighed, and for a while he didn't know how to persuade her. I only felt that my chest was abnormally tight, and I quickly pulled up the curtains.

The climate in Nanning is naturally much milder than in the north, although it is now early summer, and in the middle of the night, there is still a faint coolness. The carriage sparkled along, but the hooked eyebrow moon was still hanging diagonally in the sky, and a few stars were blurred. He looked at the sky and said, "Xiaoling, you are a girl, it's better to live happily every day." Leave these things to my brother. You don't have to worry about it. Once a person is blinded by hatred, it is almost impossible to change back. ”

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but think of Tao Yu, Tao Yu was also a dignified and lively princess before the Southern Expedition, but now, that shadow has long been far away from her, and it is difficult to find it again.

Xuanyuan Ling clenched his fists and said hatefully: "However, every time I think of my father and the crown prince's brother, I can't be happy anymore. I only hate myself for being a daughter, and I can't be like you, go to the front line, serve the country and kill the enemy. ”

Wu Ming was stunned, his hand pulled the curtain of the car, and he couldn't put it down for a long time. The carriage, as always, rumbled forward.

Outside the window, you can faintly see the kisses and eaves of the houses on both sides of the street. A little farther away, the rows of houses can only see a vague outline. In the darkness, he only felt his heart slowly sinking. He raised his head and looked at Xuanyuan Ling's delicate face, and for some reason, he felt a chill. I just feel like she's getting farther and farther away from herself.

In any case, I must not let you repeat the mistake of Tao Yu. He said silently in his heart.
