Legend of Fu Yao

Chapter 167: High-profile Meng Wang

Views:

On March 10th, Prince Wuji and King Dahanmeng, who had been "missing" for more than a month, finally appeared in public in the land of Xuanji in an inspiring manner.

It is said that these two Niucha characters who disappeared inexplicably appeared even more inexplicably. The clerk at the post station in the suburbs of Beijing woke up in the morning and saw a man covered in dust rushing in, grabbing the water on the table as if entering the inner room of his own house. Gudu Gudu just drank it, wiped his mouth with the official robe he put on the chair after drinking, grabbed a fruit and gnawed it, and licked it while spitting it out. Shocked, he wiped his eyes covered with gum and carefully identified it, and confirmed that he was not a descendant of a prince or aristocrat or a big boss in this capital—although his official position is low, but the post station in the suburbs of Beijing has a special status, and all the guests are greeted and sent. Even the emperor was familiar with it, but now he didn't recognize it when he saw it, and he became courageous, and shouted: "Who is coming, dare to break into the dignified station at the feet of my emperor Xuanji!"

I don't want the man toss the fruit core, stare at him, and speak louder than him: "Who is on the bed? How dare you yell at me?"

The post officer was stunned by his words, and due to his professional habits, he immediately began to think hard about whether he had missed any princes and didn't recognize him. Look at this man's tone, which is worse than that of the bravest twelve princes, Feng Jingsong. A bit of a cow, but according to the rules summed up over the years of ups and downs in the officialdom, tone has always been directly proportional to status.

"Dare to ask who is the Shangguan?" The post officer began to be cautious.

"Missing persons!" The person waved his hand.

"..."

When the little official finally figured out who the awesome man opposite him was, he immediately shook his fingers and wrote the document and handed it over to the Ministry of Rites. It’s okay for people to write reports while wearing underwear, and even directly use their own characters to write on the form: "Xuanji Ritual Department! How rude! Didn’t go out of the city to welcome first? Your Majesty is very angry, you waited too much!"

The clerk at the post station trembled with the list, asking for orders, and Pegasus quickly passed it on. The three thousand guards who had been waiting in the capital had already received the news that Meng Fuyao had finally arrived, and went out of the city to greet them immediately. With a wave of his arm, he said: "Tomorrow, I will change into new clothes, all of which are bright red! Change to the best saddle! Inlaid with the most dazzling gemstones! I am low-key enough! From now on, I will be high-key!"

King Meng, who was howling to be high-profile, finally arrived. When Xuanji's court received the news, he didn't know whether to show joy or pain on his face. The joy was that officials from Dahan and Wuji had been sitting in Xuanji for more than a month, and forced him every day. Xuanji went up and down to search for his family's missing master, and Dahan officials drank tea with them every day to discuss whether the border between Dahan and Xuanji should be moved a little further south? The citizens of Xuanji Daming County between the borders of the two countries have been assimilated by Da Han, so why not simply erase them from the Xuanji map? Wuji officials fully expressed their desire and longing for Tongcheng, and put forward the hope that under the leadership of his prince, he can build Tongcheng together with the imperial court of allies——from the Xuanji court to the prime minister and down to the small officials, it is full of love. I have lived in dire straits for more than a month, but now I am finally relieved.

The painful thing is that if those who come are not kind and those who don't come, the officials of Dahan Wuji are no longer good, let alone the owner? What's more, King Meng, who is notorious all over the Seven Kingdoms and shamelessly shocked the world? Even with the fingernails on his toes, he can think that King Meng, who "was besieged and disappeared, and escaped to this place after untold hardships", will definitely not give up.

For this reason, Prime Minister Xuanji deliberately entered the palace, and wanted to ask His Majesty how to welcome him, and how to respond once King Meng asked about the attack

Since Emperor Xuanji was seriously ill, he has not seen his subjects for many days. Longquan Palace has heavy curtains all day long, and the subjects can only pay their respects through the curtain. Kneeling in the corridor for a long time to wait for one or two words, I don't want to hear a low "ah" in the voice, then there is a little movement, I can't make out what it is, after a while, the eunuch comes out to deliver the decree: "We welcome you with a grand ceremony, and you will do everything you can."

The prime minister was scalded with these eight words like burning coals, "Anything should be done?" Isn't that too much? Doesn't Your Majesty know that that person is particularly thick-skinned and shameless? If she wants Xuanji to cut off three cities as compensation, should she

The prime minister immediately felt that it would be better if he had known earlier that he hadn't come to ask for the decree. His majesty was obviously sick and confused, so he carefully carried the decree in his arms and withdrew.

I don’t want to pay attention to the last four characters of the eight characters, and the first four characters must be obeyed. For this reason, Prime Minister Xuanji specially invited the second prince and the tenth prince who are currently the highest in Beijing to greet them—these two are honor The eldest son of the imperial concubine, one is the eldest daughter of the empress, and the other is an official of the third rank or above in Beijing, which is enough weight.

After a busy night, the drums and music were played early the next morning, the gates of the city were opened wide, and the princes and daughters led all the officials out of the city to welcome them.

A large group of people with brilliant feathers and well-dressed clothes stand on shifts under the specially built canopy, looking forward to their shifts, their necks are so long that no one can be seen, and they are oily under the sun, and their necks are shiny with oil, shining like The fish scales gradually couldn't stand up anymore, except for the two golden branches and jade leaves who were riding horses, the rest were standing according to the shift, all of them were pampered and pampered officials of the third rank or above, where did they stand for so long? Where has it been in the sun for so long? If you can't wait, you can't wait, so you have to send someone to the post station to urge him, and when he comes back, he says, "I'm brushing my teeth."

After brushing my teeth about a hundred times, I urged him again, and replied: "I am applying a mask."

Facial mask? mask

Wait a little longer, not to mention the facial mask, the city wall will have to be applied in a few hours before asking again, and he replied: "I'm washing my face."

Wearing a mask to wash your face

After washing my face a thousand times, I reminded me again, and replied: "The facial cleanser hasn't been washed off, this thing is very important, and the consequences will be serious if it remains."

All the officials looked at each other—facial cleanser? Is it some kind of advanced medicine for martial arts

Wait again, when it is estimated that not only the facial cleanser can be washed clean, even a person who has not bathed for ten years can be clean without any residue, please ask again, and replied: "Wait for the toner to dry out."

Toner? External use power enhancer

After the toner is completely dry, you need to apply pearl cream. After the pearl cream is applied, you need to apply sunscreen. I haven’t reached SPF 50, I’m afraid I’ll be exposed to the sun, so I asked if Tongcheng has it?”

The young tenth princess immediately threw the whip: "What the hell! Arrogance!"

The second prince smiled wryly. After all, he was older and calmer. He said to the officials of the Ministry of Rites, "Go and tell King Meng that it will be noon soon. The sun is bigger, so won't it be more basking?"

This seems to have worked, at least the officials who went to urge him didn't crawl back like a dead dog again.

After a while, a neatly armored team loomed at the end of the road.

Like a large swath of arrogant red clouds descending on the official road of Tongcheng.

The whole army is red! The scarlet robe is hemmed with gold thread! The sword is bright and sharp, pointing to the sky! The exquisite gemstones in the saddle are eye-catching! Galloping horses lined up!

Three thousand riders, all handsome, capable, cold, tough, with the posture of a guard of honor of the three armed forces, and the murderous aura of an iron-blooded death squad!

Standing in awe of the two people who were in idle and fluttering clothes.

Xuanji's officials all looked up, and they all lost their breath and voice.

On the white horse on the left, there is a man in a light purple brocade robe inlaid with silver patterns, a white jade crown and a purple gold belt, and a half-covered silver mask. But in an instant, it takes people's soul away, and it is unparalleled in style.

On the right side of the black horse sits a young man in white clothes. His whole body is bright and clear, with light purple embroidered patterns only on the cuffs of his clothes. His black hair is tied high like satin in a sapphire crown. When the paint was applied, the precious light flowed, and the eyes glanced over, so bright that the sunlight seemed to be a little bit dim.

They looked like two men, but for some reason, a word flowed through everyone's minds: What a pair of immortals!

Da Han Meng Wang is famous all over the world. Although he has never seen his real face, he can tell from his eyes and figure that he is also a very ordinary person. It's just...

It's not the same thing as the rumors!

Such a shameless and arrogant person actually looks so elegant!

It's an insult to Qingya!

While cursing in their stomachs, all the Xuanji officials saluted in unison amidst the loud music of Shaole.

"Welcome His Royal Highness Prince Wuji, King Dahanmeng!"

Meng Fuyao stared at them with a smile on the horse, and was not in a hurry to get off the horse. He tapped on the whip and raised his head and sighed, "It's still comfortable to sit on the horse. Unfortunately, I haven't been near any means of transportation for half a month!"

As soon as she spoke, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and they all regained their senses—that's right! As soon as he opened his mouth, he knew that it was indeed King Dahanmeng!

The second prince smiled wryly, dismounted first, and then pulled the tenth emperor's daughter who was sitting still with a sullen face. Over there, the eldest grandson Wuji dismounted first, followed by Meng Fuyao, who was as lazy as a dead dog. As soon as King Meng touched the ground, he Ouch, ouch, I can't get up from squatting, shouting: "My legs are swollen from running, I sprained my tendons early, I can't stand up, ouch..."

She rubbed her legs, looked up at the embarrassed official Xuanji, and sighed: "You Xuanji is safe..."

She shook her head, the audience lost their eyes and covered their faces.

King Meng continued to sigh, "Your Xuanji character..."

The faces of the audience were all down, she smacked her lips and didn't say anything, but the expression on her face made people want to collapse even more than saying it.

King Meng didn't seem to know how to look at people at all, he squatted there and continued to be intoxicated: "You..."

The second prince answered suddenly, and said: "Since King Meng can't walk, please mount your horse."

Meng Fuyao didn't seem to hear, and continued to talk about herself: "...Your King Meng, I was hunted down and robbed, my legs are numb in shock, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'll just squat here, don't hinder the conversation, you continue ,continue."

Official Xuanji stared at the sky speechlessly... How can anyone continue with you like this

Only the dignified and calm eldest grandson didn't care at all, and he really pulled the second prince and ten emperors' daughters to bow respectfully there, finished the etiquette that should be done, and squatted against the lump. Far from practicing His Highness the crown prince's powerful immune spirit to King Meng, he wanted to glance at Meng Fuyao after saying a few words, feeling uncomfortable all over.

Meng Fuyao didn't mind squatting, and she refused to settle down while squatting, so she suddenly raised her head and opened her mouth to Prime Minister Xuanji to say a few words.

She opened her mouth, but there was no sound, the prime minister couldn't hear clearly, looked around inquiringly, Meng Fuyao "said" a few more words, the prime minister couldn't stand still anymore, so he had to hurry over, half-bent in front of her and asked: "May I ask King Han what is his order?"

But Meng Fuyao put his hands to his ears and opened them, and said loudly: "Ah? What are you talking about? Ah? I can't hear you."

The prime minister twitched the corner of his mouth, bent a little lower, and repeated loudly, Meng Fuyao still tilted his head, "Huh?"

All the officials looked at the prime minister who was bent over to the ground with pity, and remembered that he seemed to have a back problem? Tsk tsk, I heard that this King Meng will repay anyone who offends her tenfold, and the higher the status, the more he likes to fight against her. Alas... not everyone can be a prime minister.

"I said that your old man's position is too dominant." Meng Fuyao "listened" for a long time, then raised his head and smiled, "I am also a guest, and the Prime Minister just looks down and talks like this? I want you, Xuanji, to negotiate state affairs with my ministers, Are you used to this attitude?"

Throwing down such a heavy word, the prime minister couldn't bear it anymore.

So, under the eyes of everyone, the dignified Prime Minister of a country, holding his buttocks, squatted down cautiously as if showing respect, and shook his head with Meng Fu, waiting to listen with a livid complexion.

The two squatted facing each other, very quiet.

Half a quarter of an hour passed, and the two still squatted face to face, quietly.

Meng Fuyao: "..."

Lord Prime Minister: "..."

"..."

"..."

Big-eyed and small-eyed squatting for a while, the Prime Minister finally couldn't bear it anymore and asked, "I don't know what King Meng has to teach you?"

"Ah?" Meng Fuyao stared blankly, "Didn't you come here to talk? Why didn't you say anything?"

"..." The Prime Minister blushed, and argued, "It's King Meng who taught you the truth, and the truth is..."

"Is there?" Meng Fuyao was stunned, innocently, spreading his hands, "I haven't made a sound from the beginning to the end, where did I talk to you?"

"..."

"boom."

Xuanji's honorable prime minister... fell down.

Sunbathing for a long time, standing for a long time, bending over for a long time, squatting for a long time, and finally being beaten with a hammer by some shameless person.

No one can survive.

Xuanji and the officials rushed over, and carried away the Prime Minister without saying a word, and did not dare to stay in front of Meng Fuyao for a second, for fear that she would open her mouth to her, and she would have to squat with her.

But Meng Fuyao stood up easily, looked towards the direction where the prime minister was being carried away, and said with great regret: "Oh, I just wanted to have a good talk with the prime minister, if the talk is cordial and good, we will have a good time along the way. The loss of being attacked and killed is only for the sake of the allies, and now it seems... tsk tsk, it's really dishonest."

The officials collapsed for the third time today...

But Meng Fuyao shook her head as if regretting, and stepped back onto the horse easily. At this time, her legs did not hurt, her ankles were no longer sore, and her posture was also brisk. She was still a foot away from the horse. Lifting his legs, he floated up lightly, and a figure as beautiful as a milk swallow was displayed in mid-air, which made Xuanji's eyes darken.

Fourth crash...

Sure enough... extremely shameless.

Guessing that they are greeted with a heavy gift today is to make amends for their "disappearance and attack". Guessing the intention of Xuanji officials to humbly offer generous gifts and make them feel sorry and let them stop, simply don't give the opportunity at all, on Xuanji's side Before I could bring it up and explain it, it blocked the way.

Obviously raised it high, but still refused to put it down lightly, intending to embarrass Xuanji.

It is a great tragedy in life that there is such a shameless Meng Fuyao in the Seven Kingdoms who relies on a powerful political figure behind him.

Obviously, anyone in the world can be offended now, but Meng Fuyao cannot be offended. She is the only person in the Wuzhou Continent who maintains extremely good relations with the three major powers, and even participates in the political struggles of the three kingdoms and single-handedly leads the change of imperial power in the three kingdoms. Offending her probably means facing The joint attack and division of Wuji Hanxuanyuan, who were both advancing and retreating at the same time - the consequences were too tragic.

Xuanji's officials automatically retreated three feet away, and simply let the prince and daughter deal with this silent prank.

The second prince forced a smile and said: "The sun is hot, why bother to bask outside... Also invite His Highness the Crown Prince and King Meng to enter the city. The Ningxi Palace in the palace has already prepared a banquet, please two..."

"Is the warm fire meal in the imperial dining room for people to eat?" Meng Fuyao's words made Xuanji's face change. Before she had time to figure out how to maintain the emperor's dignity without offending her, she continued with the next sentence, " That's what the emperor can eat."

There is a kind of person who is born to torment the hearts of others...

In the end, Meng Wang insisted on rejecting the state banquet, saying, "It's just a pile of good-looking things, but the color and fragrance are not very good. You have to keep raising your glasses, putting them down and raising them again. After eating a meal, you can't even eat a rice. It's just for fun. Nobility is not at all suitable for the pragmatic attitude of our Prince Wuji and the civilian temperament of King Dahanmeng." The boring meal.

Listening to this long passage, Xuanji's ministers struggled several times between dying and dying, and finally couldn't stand the magic sound piercing their brains. The second prince asked very pragmatically: "Then what do you two mean..."

Changsun Wuji looked at Meng Fuyao with a slight smile: "Just ask King Meng."

All the ministers secretly rolled their eyes—the whole world knows that Prince Wuji only has King Meng in your eyes, serving her well is serving you well, even more pleasing than serving you well, asking you is just to be polite.

In the end, King Meng made a final decision, and said with great yearning: "I was born as a commoner..."

The ministers lowered their eyes - I know, your words are too common...

“Loved the big pot dishes...”

All the ministers pondered—there seems to be a farm restaurant in XX Lane, XX Street, but can it seat so many people

“…I miss my mom’s pottie the most…”

Pot post? what

"Steam on the top and bake on the bottom. The noodles are on the top and the vegetables are on the bottom. The pot stickers are cooked even when the vegetables are cooked. The steamed part is noisy, and the roasted part is crispy, with the fragrance of vegetables... ah, it is peerless!"

… how can the same thing be steamed and baked at the same time? Also, is it food or noodles

"That's it." Meng Fuyao clapped his hands, got on his horse, and suddenly looked back with a smile, "Your country is a big country, and its skillful people are known as the best in the world. You can't even make an ordinary potsticker?"

"Ah no no, right away, right away!"

Sitting on the horse, Meng Fuyao saw the servants who were accompanying him run away quickly under the eyes of the big bosses. He probably went all over the city to find the "upper and lower" pot stickers. He narrowed his eyes and smiled. Leaning over, he asked softly, "What is that?"

"There's something you don't know." Meng Fuyao smiled, "I'll make it for you next time."

"It's a deal." Changsun Wuji said with a smile, "But I'm afraid I don't know when I will be able to eat today's meal."

"Anyway, you and I were full and went out." Meng Fuyao looked at a group of officials who had been hungry for a long time with a wicked smile, "Today's first meeting will impress them with my stubborn and vicious character. In the future, there will be fewer people who come up to show courteousness and have nothing to do to make connections and say good things, and the big guys are quiet."

The two of them knew that tonight's meal was not known when they would be able to eat it, so they simply went to the post house leisurely. Meng Fuyao cast a glance at the ten imperial daughters who were sinking like water and said goodbye in advance, and shook his head: "It's hard to be a great weapon."

Looking at the second prince who had been with him all the time, he shook his head again: "It's not suitable to be a king."

And distressed: "Which queen is this? I haven't even seen her, so she can't really be our old friend, okay?"

Changsun Wuji smiled and said: "Soldiers come to block, Queen Meng comes to beat me up."

Meng Fuyao laughed, suddenly looked up at the moon in the sky, and said, "Why hasn't that counterfeit one appeared recently? Waiting in Tongcheng?"

When Ji Yu came over, Meng Fuyao asked, "Hua Yan, where are you and the chef I asked you to pick up now?"

"After the subordinates entered Tongcheng, some lived in inns, and some scattered outside the city. Later, Mr. Zong's Guangde Hall found us and found us a secret and concentrated residence." Ji Yu is still used to Zong Yue The old title, "The two of them are now in a house in Tianshui Lane."

"Change place." Meng Fuyao said: "I asked just now, the Queen's Succession Ceremony on the sixth day of April, the sixth day is the first auspicious day in April, the choice of this day shows that the Queen's succession is very urgent, In other words, activities such as eliminating dissidents and monitoring changes will be very frequent. The crown prince and I are the key targets, and the actions will definitely be trapped by all means. Even if I just messed around and made those people dare not come out, there will definitely be secret arrangements. Instead of being tracked everywhere, it’s better to stay in one place to deal with all kinds of changes, you all concentrate on me, and bring those two people in between you.”

Ji Yu answered in a low voice, Meng Fuyao said: "Xuanji's post palace is mine from now until the queen succeeds to the throne, if it is not mine, it must be mine, you guard it for me, even if Emperor Xuanji wants to Come in, I didn't ask for permission, you kill too!"

"yes!"

Meng Fuyao smiled without a smile, turned around and entered the room, and continued to drink tea with the second prince and the officials of the Ministry of Rites who accompanied him, not only drinking cups of tea, but also drinking strong tea, and Xuanji's officials who hadn't eaten all day were starving With blue eyes shining, it was not until nightfall that the little official in charge of the matter came to report: "We will open four tables in Xifeng Building, and invite distinguished guests to sit in."

Xuanji's ministers rejoiced, and they were full of hope that Qi Qi would invite King Meng, and King Meng said slowly, "I'll change my clothes first."

After changing a piece of clothing for half an hour, Meng Fuyao was so hungry that he fainted a few times, before Meng Fuyao came out and rushed to Xifeng Tower with a crowd of people.

There is a small building behind the Xifeng Building, which is exclusively used by the royal family and princes. You walk through the pavilions and weeping willows all the way, and step into the luxuriously furnished Nuan Pavilion. Zhang Ming Huang brocade surrounds the table, displaying gold plates and ivory chopsticks, and smiling maidservants standing at the four corners, holding white jade pots and crystal cups ready to serve wine at any time, which is a royal, rich and romantic scene.

It's just... every table is not a delicacy of land and water, or delicacies of delicacies, but there is a big black pot on it.

There are pancakes on the pan, steamed on the top and baked on the bottom, steaming hot, with a simple fragrance, just placed on this luxurious occasion, no matter how you look at it, it will spoil the scenery. know how to let.

But one person stood up with a smile, and stretched out his hand in a clear gesture: "Vegetarian delicacies and light wine, treat the distinguished guests slowly, please the prince, please the king of Meng."

The woman was delicate and slender, wearing a light green palace attire, tied with emerald green silk sash, pressed with emerald orbs, her eyes were bright and kind, and under the crystal light, they were really like clear water, sparkling.

Looking at her face, she is not stunning, it is far from Meng Fuyao, what is rare is that her expression is generous and clear, and her eyes are full of spirit, Meng Fuyao looked at her, and felt that her temperament actually made her somewhat like it.

From her tone, she is also a child of Xuanji's royal family? It's rare that although she didn't inherit the good looks of Xuanji's royal children, she has a good temperament that Xuanji's flashy princes and children don't have, which makes her, who hates Xuanji's royal family, feel a little good.

"Ninth Sister, why are you here?" The Second Prince asked in surprise.

"I heard that Tenth Sister is not in good health, so she resigned early." The woman smiled calmly, "I thought that as a woman, King Meng should always be accompanied by a princess, otherwise I, Xuanji's royal family, would be rude, so I came here uninvited." She smiled sweetly, took a picture of her own cup to her eldest grandson Wuji and Meng Fuyao, and drank it calmly first: "I ask Prince Meng Wang to forgive me for being presumptuous, Dan Ning drinks three cups herself as an apology."

She really drank three glasses in a row, gracefully, when she put down the glass, her expression was as usual, it was a huge amount, and then she gave way calmly, everyone took advantage of the situation, and the previous embarrassment was lightly dismissed by her holding the glass in her plain hand, natural, casual, and measured , without losing Xuanji's face, and without losing respect for Changsun Wuji and Meng Fuyao.

This time, Meng Fuyao really admired her a little bit, and carefully searched the other party's information in his mind. Xuanji Nine Emperors Feng Danning, the youngest daughter of Concubine Rong, is knowledgeable in books and etiquette, and is known as the most talented woman in Tongcheng.

Talented women have always been synonymous with nobleness and self-respect. With some ink in their stomachs, their nostrils and the corners of their eyes grow to the sky. All day long, except for the sadness of spring and autumn, no one can be cold in the blue sky, yellow leaves and autumn colors. Accompanied by Yan Cuizhong's poems, singing, singing, drums and sheng, she appreciates the lofty, holy, elegant and delicate beauty of nature... Meng Fuyao has never been interested in talented women, in her words: she is crazy about books and reading!

So she didn't pay attention to the information about the Ninth Empress, she didn't want to be a transparent person, she became a little interested-I don't know the new queen, does she have a role? Depending on the talent, it is suitable.

There was the Nine Emperors at the banquet, and the atmosphere was indeed warm. This emperor is not only good at poetry and dictionaries, but also familiar with folk customs. She is very measured and flexible in her answers. The pace and atmosphere of a banquet are controlled by her intentionally or unconsciously. , not too hot, not cold, and saved Xuanji's ministers who were beaten to death by Meng Fuyao from endless nightmares.

After drinking for three rounds, Feng Danning smiled and took out a bronzing list, saying: "The crown prince and King Meng have come from afar, our country dare not neglect, and the Ministry of Rites has specially ordered the Ministry of Rituals to draw up an itinerary for the two of you to enjoy during this period. Do not let me go on this trip."

Meng Fuyao leaned over to take a look. Tomorrow, he will visit Tongcheng Peak, the next day he will visit Yuchi Lake in Tongcheng, the next day he will visit the suburbs of Tongcheng, which is very scenic, and the next day he will visit the world-famous thousand-year-old Wanxian Temple... The schedule is full for half a month. Yes, play until the fifth day of April.

Look at the places to play, tsk tsk, it seems that they are all remote places

Look at the accompanying staff again, tsk tsk, that's no fun, just surround them and kill them clean.

A nonsense arrangement, how can high-level officials from other countries not meet with the emperor

Looking at the seal under the list, Meng Fuyao's eyes flashed, Xuanji's totem is a phoenix, and there should be a phoenix carving on the jade seal, but this is a landscape stamp, with the seal character "Master of the Ming Court", obviously, it is a private seal.

"Your Majesty's private seal is quite special." Meng Fuyao pointed at the seal and smiled, "Master Ming Court, is it your Majesty's name?"

Feng Danning's eyes flashed, she looked quite strange at that moment, and then said: "No."

Meng Fuyao raised his eyebrows, Feng Danning said with a smile: "It's a decree from the inner court, we haven't seen this chapter, but His Majesty wrote it himself."

She leaned over, as if she wanted to point out to Meng Fuyao the "His Majesty's own handwriting" on the list, her jade-like fingers moved over the sprinkled gold paper one by one, but they didn't land on the bottom of the list. On the middle of the four place names "Yuchi Lake", "Taiyouguan" and "Wanxianshan", there is a drop.

Meng Fuyao squinted his eyes, Changsun Wuji tilted his head, and then they both laughed: "Oh, so that's how it is."

Feng Danning smiled and backed away.

Continue to eat and eat pot stickers, you come and I go back and forth happily, all the officials gradually feel that the pot stickers have a real taste, the wine pairing is even more magical, and the more they eat and laugh.

Meng Fuyao drank leisurely, glanced at the list with a smile.

"Come, Chi, You, Xian."

"It's dangerous to come here."

Feng Danning actually wanted to hint at her in this way.

She is not a pig, so how could she not know the danger here? Naturally, Feng Danning also understood that they knew what they were thinking, so she said that the warning was false, but it was just a disguised show of favor from the Nine Emperor Girls.

It seems that the Xuanji royal family has different schools.

Meng Fuyao smiled, tapped his finger on the table, and asked: "Second Highness, you have to eat, enjoy places of interest, and talk about business. I don't know what your country has to say about the assassination of the crown prince and you in the north? Who is the murderer? How many people are there? Have you caught them? How do you plan to deal with them?"

A few questions fell like bombs, all the ministers stopped their chopsticks, and the room was silent. The second prince froze, and turned his gaze to the prime minister who had managed to hold on to the potsticker banquet. He knew that the prime minister had asked Meng Fuyao for this matter before Meng Fuyao came. purpose, but do not know its content.

The Prime Minister tightly clenched the chopsticks with his fingers, his mind was full of thoughts for a moment, His Majesty's will must never be faced with Meng Fuyao's shameless explanation, but it is really unreasonable to say nothing now, he thought for a while and said: "... is investigating, is investigating, and I, Xuanji, will definitely give an explanation to the prince and King Meng."

Meng Fuyao bit his chopsticks and smiled: "It's done so fast, it's done so quickly."

All the ministers of Xuanji were deaf and dumb, and looked at a loss.

"Actually, you don't need to do anything. It's really hard for you to search for a needle in a haystack in such a huge crowd." Meng Fuyao changed the subject, and everyone looked up in surprise, and they heard her say: "As the saying goes, murder pays for life, and beating people pays money. Now the crown prince and I were beaten by you Xuanji, since we have different identities, we don’t need to pay that tacky money, so let’s cut off a few cities.”

She spoke lightly, and all the officials were about to faint when they heard it. After a while, the prime minister said in a trembling voice: "... cut... cut the city?"

"It doesn't need much," Meng Fuyao gnawed on the pot stickers, and stretched out a slap, "That's enough. The crown prince takes the big head, and I take the small head."

"Five... five cities..."

"Yeah." Meng Fuyao smiled, "Didn't I, Dahan, be talking to you about erasing a few cities on your Xuanji map a few days ago? Shouldn't the discussion be over? If not, I, Dahan, will be stationed in Changzhou The 300,000 troops in the county and the 300,000 troops stationed in Jinzhou by Wuji happened to be at the corner between Chang County and Jinzhou, so..." She stretched out her fingers like scissors, cut it, and laughed sinisterly .

"Cut like this... click!"

All the ministers' eyelashes flashed wildly, as if they were cut by her scissors.

"This matter is very important, very important," the prime minister wiped his sweat, "We have no right to comment, we have no right to comment..."

"This matter is the most important thing for me when I come here." Meng Fuyao said solemnly: "Until it is resolved, I will not be interested in playing."

"That... that..." The prime minister was embarrassed and didn't know how to speak. He naturally knew that the play arrangement was absurd, but what wasn't absurd during this time? The government is chaotic, and all the officials are in a state of panic. They say they want to establish a new lord, but they don't even know who the new lord is. The management, but it is just blocking the east wall and destroying the west wall. It has already been stretched to the left and right. Now the opponent is coming in menacingly. He is a mere minister, what can he do to deal with it? head

Looking at His Majesty's itinerary, it is obvious that he does not want the crown prince and King Meng to stay in Tongcheng to intervene in the struggle for imperial power, but since he is so unwilling, why did he invite him back then? Make it difficult to ride a tiger now

My heart was in a mess, I really couldn't understand the current mysterious situation in the Xuanji Palace, the prime minister was sweating on his forehead, trying to change the topic, but Meng Fuyao didn't have the patience, took out a box from his side, and said with a smile: "My dear!" His Majesty Han ordered me to offer a gift to His Majesty, um... himself! But the itinerary you arranged seems to be too late to meet His Majesty, this..."

She smiled and handed it to the second prince: "You accept?"

The second prince hurriedly stood up and retreated: "Don't dare."

He handed it to the Ninth Queen: "You?"

The Ninth Emperor Daughter stood up and bowed: "The courtiers dare not overstep."

Before Meng Fuyao could hand it to the prime minister, the old guy had already put down his chopsticks and backed away a long way.

"Then there's nothing we can do." Meng Fuyao put down the box and stood up, grabbed the list, asked for a pen and paper, and waved a hand to scribble: "Tomorrow's schedule is cancelled. It’s about discussing state affairs, that’s all.”

She walked to the door, turned around, and smiled, "Hurry up and tell your majesty to prepare well, don't let me enter the palace, he hasn't had time to put on his pajamas yet."

In the dark of night, under the bright crystal lamps of Xifeng Building, a reception banquet was undercurrents. In the Xuanji Imperial Palace, the Yongchang Palace, the emperor's bedroom, was dimly lit. The yellowish light was hidden behind heavy curtains, slowly and silently in the hazy night. Jumping like a firefly in a bottle waiting to break free, it can't cross the invisible barrier.

In the depths of the hall, there were few people. Since the emperor became seriously ill, he said that he was irritable and afraid of hearing people's voices, so he kicked out all the servants. Now the queen personally takes care of many things.

There was the sound of bowls and spoons clashing in the depths of the curtain, and there were shadowy silhouettes of opposite figures. From the silhouette, it seemed that one person was lying on the bed, and the other was sitting, holding a porcelain bowl and feeding the person on the bed.

The hall was very quiet, only the patient's heavy breathing could be heard.

After a long while, the sitting person put the bowl heavily on the table and said, "You refuse to eat it again! In vain I told the small kitchen to boil it for you for three days!"

The voice was a woman's voice, it didn't sound very young, but it wasn't very old either.

The man in the curtain seemed to say something, the woman listened silently, but the tone of reply was impatient, "You are really bothered by that matter! I told you, no see!"

There was a whisper, and after a while she still said: "No! Those two people are not things! One pushed Jingfan's marriage for no reason, and the other shamed her in front of the world, and dared to join hands to harm her! They dare to come Xuanji? Let him come and go!"

The man on the bed coughed for a while, seemed a little angry, suddenly raised his voice, and said angrily, "You're making that mistake again! What do you mean he can't come and go?" After speaking, he coughed loudly again.

The woman was silent for a while, and then said for a long time: "You are so sick, why do you care about it? And why do you have to wait until April? It was passed on to..."

"My Xuanji's succession to the throne has always been in April. If I violate the ancestral conventions, I will be punished by heaven. What do you know!"

The woman seemed unconvinced, and wanted to sneer back. For some reason, she turned her head to look deep in the inner hall, but stopped talking, and said coldly for a long while: "She is so majestic and fierce, and she actually used the so-called attack as an excuse." Use the handle to change the schedule of the court without authorization! If she wants to see her, we must see her!"

She stood up abruptly, and with a flick of her sleeves, she slammed the bowl and chopsticks to the ground, falling to the gold brick floor and smashing into pieces.

Her voice was sharper, harsher and colder than the sound of fine porcelain falling to pieces.

"Okay, come! Let her come!"
