In silence, Gu Shubai said, "I have a choice."
Everyone looked at him one after another, and the peachy news hadn't completely passed, and everyone's eyes were still a little suspicious.
Yufu said, "Who?"
Gu Shubai smiled and got up, "I once heard from my third brother that Deputy Commander Li praised an adult Bai Qingbai who served as the Kunlun mansion platform. The Kunlun Mountain area and Xikun border, Xikun people are martial and arrogant, and there were once on the border. Over friction. The Xikun people on the border under the management of Master Bai are all obedient and dare not to make mistakes. Although he is not from Dongling, he is a good hand in governing the place, and his sons and daughters are with Dongling. People from West and Kunming have intermarried."
As an official of Beili, letting his sons and daughters marry Dongling and Xikun people seems more attractive than being born in the two countries.
Yufu looked at Tian Yunpo and the others. She didn't know Bai Qing. Shouldn't these ministers know each other
After everyone thought for a while, Zhang Jiuque was familiar with these officials as the official secretary, and immediately remembered, "My Majesty, this Bai Qingchen has the impression that he is indeed an expert in governing the place. However, he is always in a remote area of Kunlun, so We didn't think of him for a while."
"Yes, there is such a person!"
All the officials talked about it, Yufu couldn't help being surprised, "Since he is a good hand in governance, why has he been allowed to stay in Kunlun's bitter and cold land for many years? Why has no one introduced him to me?"
"this… "
Everyone was embarrassed, and Tianyun broke the words: "Your Majesty, this Bai Qing is a criminal minister who has suffered rebellion and conspiracy. His mother's compatriot is the wife of a traitor, although she said that she should not be condemned. Even too much, but after all, the relationship is not shallow. Therefore, although he was not removed from office, no one thought of introducing him."
I see.
Bei Li's rebellion a few years ago was a thorn in the hearts of everyone. This Bai Qing had something to do with this rebellion. Who would have thought to introduce him
It's pretty good to let him do this Kunlun Mansion Station safely and steadily.
Gu Shubai said: "Vice commander Li led the whole clan to Beili. Nowadays, there are younger generations in the clan who marry the Bai family, so he only knows this lord Bai. I have investigated his affairs and I know that he is related to the rebellion. , But it is only a family relationship and there is no evidence to prove that he participated in the rebellion. Therefore, I believe this person is credible and suitable for this appointment."
After hearing this, Yufu looked at the ministers, and no one made a rebuttal. It can be seen that there is nothing wrong with Bai Qing, and the only error lies in the relationship with the rebel minister.
She nodded, "This is a big deal, so I don't have to worry about seeing it in person. I will send him to the capital immediately, and I must send the imperial servant and the uncle of Chu to Xikun safely before the year."
The decree reached Kunlun, and the soldiers of Bai Qing and Yufuqin sent to the palace on Laba day and night.
When he entered the palace, Yufu and Gu Shubai were drinking Laba porridge in the Hall of Longevity, with two little boys sitting beside them, Ning'an and Ningping from the Kunyu Yang family.
The two little boys were very early-minded, and slowly drank the porridge with a spoon while holding a bowl, and Yufu was tempted by the small appearance.
Hearing the sound of footsteps outside, both children turned their eyes to the outside of the hall.
I saw a middle-aged man coming into the hall, looking up at the sight of the hall, and saluting him neither humble nor arrogant, "I have met your majesty and General Gu."
As for the two children...
Bai Qing had never heard of a prince on his knees, so he didn't say hello, and just stood there and obeyed his instructions.
Yufu nodded and said, "Master Bai has been in the dust all the way, and the weather is snowy and cold outside. Come over and have a bowl of porridge before you talk."
Bai Qing couldn't help being surprised when he heard that, Yufu had ordered Yaolan to come forward to serve the porridge, and Bai Qing had to step forward slowly and sat in the vacant position.
The porridge is made from eight kinds of grains, including red beans, mung beans, lotus seeds and longan.
Bai Qing looked at Yufu and Gu Shubai hesitantly. Both of them were dressed in homely styles. The appearance of sitting together and drinking porridge was no different from that of an ordinary couple, and could not see the majesty of the heavens at all.
He was indeed hungry all the way, so he simply picked up the bowl and drank. Yufu saw him drinking half a bowl before he said, "Master Bai, is this porridge delicious?"
Bai Qing put down the bowl and wiped the corners of his mouth, "It's delicious. When people are hungry, anyone who stutters feels delicious."
Gu Shubai was drinking porridge and couldn't help but chuckle when he heard the words. He said that Bai Qing couldn't speak so much, no wonder Yu Fudu had not recommended him since he became the throne for more than a year.
It's not smooth enough.
Yufu smiled slightly and said, "Lord Bai drink more. Today, Laba has a lot of Laba porridge in the palace."
"Hey."
Bai Qing responded, and quickly lowered his head to continue drinking the porridge. After drinking the bottom of the bowl was clean, he looked at Yaolan, who knowingly served him another bowl.
He is really welcome.
Yufu slowly put down the spoon, and said with a smile: "Master Bai knows what I call you back for?"
"I know, it's going to Xikun to manage the place."
"Then are you willing to go?"
"Yes. Governing the locality is the strength of the minister, and Xixian City is at least as cold as Kunlun."
Now Gu Shubai can't drink the porridge anymore. Bai Qing speaks with a serious cold humor, he is afraid that he can't help laughing.
Yufu smiled and nodded, "Okay, then you go, and you will set off tomorrow."
"The minister follows the decree."
As Bai Qing spoke, he took another sip of the porridge bowl, and reluctantly stood up until the bottom of the bowl was clean, and bowed out of the Hall of Longevity.
As soon as he walked out, there was a long suppressed laughter in the hall.
"Hahaha, he actually drank it before leaving!"
"This Master Bai is so interesting!"
Yufu couldn't help but want to laugh when he thought of Baiqing just now, and said to Yaolan: "He may be really hungry, or he likes this porridge very much. You can put a food box and give it to him, I see. He hasn't eaten enough just now."
Yaolan smiled and said: "Yes, there is enough porridge pipe, and the slave and maid will send it here!"
Bai Qing walked along the promenade towards the outside of the palace. He entered the palace in a hurry without any entourage. Seeing that the wind and snow outside were getting bigger and bigger, there was no one to give him an umbrella.
He stood under the porch and sighed. He was about to brave the snow when he suddenly saw a soldier stepping forward to open an umbrella for him, "Master Bai, please."
Bai Qing was taken aback for a moment, not knowing the identity of the person in front of him, looking at the soldiers who were dressed like the imperial forest army.
The soldier smiled, "The commander said that he did not bring any entourage or umbrella when he entered the palace. The wind and snow are so heavy, he was ordered to hold an umbrella for the adult and escort the adult out of the palace."
Commander
Bai Qing and Liming, the deputy commander of the Yulin Army, are also considered relatives by marriage. The commander of the Yulin Army has also heard of him. He is the brother of General Gu.
This time he was able to be dispatched to Xikun to take up such an important position. Thanks to General Gu's introduction in front of His Majesty, now that the commander is so considerate, Bai Qing's heart is secretly warm.
"Master Bai."
A woman's voice stopped him behind him. Bai Qing looked back and saw that it was the female officer who was headed by your Majesty's side.
In fact, he felt strange in his heart. Didn't your Majesty ask him to consider it today? After drinking two bowls of porridge, he decided to let him go to Xikun. He didn't talk about governance at all.
Yaolan raised the food box to show him, "This is the Laba porridge given to Master Bai by your majesty. The food box is nestled in a charcoal fire. It is still hot when the adults take it out of the palace."
Laba Congee...
Bai Qing moved in his heart and couldn't help being grateful, "Your Majesty is kind and compassionate, and the minister is grateful."
Yaolan looked at his eyes and couldn't help feeling moved.
I want to come to an official who has been implicated by rebellious officials, and who has been living in a place of bitter cold these years, is very desolate in his heart when he comes to the capital to be unaccompanied
A bowl of laba porridge warmed his heart. This is a simple-minded person, no wonder your Majesty confirmed that he would go to Xikun so quickly.
Yaolan thought of Yufu's instructions before going out, so he handed the food box to the soldiers aside, and then whispered to Bai Qing: "Master Bai, please go back and wait for your majesty's will. Master Feng is the imperial envoy who sits in Xikun this time. The will will be handed down soon. Please don't let your majesty betray your majesty's love and govern Xikun well for your majesty."
Bai Qing's gaze was suddenly lit by the word imperial commission, and he nodded vigorously, "Please rest assured, Your Majesty!"
After that, he turned his head and walked out of the corridor. After a moment of excitement, he accidentally stirred on the steps and threw himself on the soldier beside him.
The soldier held an umbrella in one hand and a food container in his other hand. Both hands were not free, so they could only use their bodies to support Bai Qing to prevent him from falling.
Bai Qing got up from the soldier in a hurry, looked back at Yao Lan awkwardly, then straightened his collar and walked out solemnly.
The snow raged all over the sky until Bai Qing and the soldiers disappeared into the snow. Yaolan finally couldn't hold it back, leaving a string of laughter in the snow...
"Your Majesty, I also want to go to Xikun with my father!"
Yufu arranged for Bai Qing to go to Xikun with the Chu King. Ji Cheng was unhappy with the news of the suspension of payment. He asked to go with the Chu King, and wanted to bring his mother, the Princess Princess.
Yufu hadn't seen him for a long time, and heard that he was sent to Xianyang Academy by the King of Chu to study.
At first glance, it was much taller than before, and it was darker and stronger.
Yufu deliberately teased him, "Your father is going to help Master Bai govern Xikun, what are you going to do?"
In fact, Yufu didn't expect the Chu King to govern Xikun. It was just a place as big as Xikun. Without the royal family, it would not show her importance.
Ding Liaoluo, a member of the royal family surnamed Bei Liji, seemed to be the most suitable candidate for King Chu.
Ji Chengfa thought for a while, "I can also administer Xikun! Doesn't your majesty believe me? I have also helped your majesty before!"
This child is a big kid and can handle things, but it's a pity that he is too young.
The royal family that Yufu was going to send was a man of his age and identity. No matter how talented Ji Chengfa was, he would not be suitable to be sent to Xikun.
She thought for a moment, "Then what do your father and mother concubine think?"
Ji Chengfa got angry when he mentioned this, and snorted, "My father said that he brought me back for the New Year. If I'm not at home with my mother and concubine, let me go back to the college. The mother and concubine are even better. Now, she said that unless your majesty decree, no one should try to get her to the place where Xikun does not shit!"
Yufu smiled, "Since they have all said so, what are you going to do with me? What reason can you give me so that I would rather go against Uncle Wang's meaning and fulfill you?"
She didn't directly refuse, but instead asked him for reasons. It seemed that there was something to be done about this matter.
Ji Chengfa straightened his chest immediately, "The man's aspirations are all around, what's the matter if he stays at home? Your Majesty, we are very few of the royal family surnamed Bei Liji. If there are more sons and brothers who only know about peace and wealth, the royal family still has Do you count on it? Your Majesty, let me go to Xikun to experience it!"
He was anxious at the end of the talk, and he kept stomping and stomping with his feet, appearing like a coquetry and shameless.
Yufu couldn't stand him like this, and hurriedly waved his hand to stop, "It's alright, what kind of decent is it? I can promise you, but you have to ask Uncle Wang to agree, otherwise the discussion will be avoided."
Ji Chengfa rolled his eyes and promised crisply, "Okay, then I will go! Thank you, Your Majesty!"
After that, he ran out eagerly, and ran into Gu Shubai who was walking into the hall. He smiled and shouted, "Brother-in-law! I'm leaving now!"
On the blood relationship Ji Chengfa is Yufu's cousin. After Yufu ascended the throne, he was naturally not good to call her sister in front of Yufu, but in private he often called Gu Shubai brother-in-law.
He kept calling until the two of them got married, and he didn't change his mind.
Seeing him running out excitedly, Gu Shubai shook his head helplessly, entered the hall and asked Yufu, "Are you agreeing that Chengfa will go to Xikun?"
Yufu was surprised, "Do you know this too?"
Gu Shubai said: "I heard him say once that he wanted me to help him intercede with you. I told him that it's useless to help him, and it's only necessary for the King of Chu to agree to it. But look at his excited appearance, I want to come. Did you agree?"
Yufu shook his head, "I told him that as long as the King of Chu agreed, I promised to let him go. In fact, Chengfa, the child is very agile, and after being sent out by his father to study for a year, he is more intelligent. Let him go more. Experienced, may be able to become the pillar of the country in the future."
Gu Shubai laughed in surprise, "Speaking of speaking, doesn't this still require the consent of the Chu Prince? What is he happy about?"
…
"No, what will your children's family do in Xikun? Stay in the house with your mother and concubine!"
Jun Wang Chu had a serious face and decisively refused Ji Chengfa's request.
Ji Chengfa didn't feel annoyed, but said proudly: "It's useless if you say no, your majesty has approved it. Is it possible that you went to the palace and told your majesty that you want to resist the decree?"
Jun King Chu shook his whole body, frowning, "Your Majesty's approval?"
"Yes!"
Ji Chengfa looked smug, "Why should I enter the palace early in the morning? What do I do? Your Majesty is the most softhearted. Where can I stand my begging her in every possible way?"
Jun King Chu thought for a while, just now Ji Cheng looked happy when he sent back to the mansion. Would he be so happy if his majesty had not agreed to his request
Even if he was unwilling, but the will was ahead, the Chu King did not dare to say anything that was inaccurate.
He snorted coldly, and looked at the attendant who was following Ji Chengfa, "Don't hurry down and pack up the young man's clothes? Seeing that we are leaving tomorrow, what can I do if the things are not ready yet?"
The attendant responded in a hurry, turned and retreated to pack up for Ji Chengfa.
Ji Chengfa waved to the outside to greet the chief historian of the mansion, and he walked in slowly.
"Master Liu, please let me know if you enter the palace to inform your Majesty that my father has ordered someone to pack up for me. Please rest assured, your Majesty."
The chief historian glanced at Junwang Chu, who gave him a tacit look, and he retreated.
When Yufu heard the news in the palace, he couldn't help but be surprised, "Cheng Fa is really amazing. When the front foot is out of the palace, the Prince Chu sends someone back and forth to talk back. How did he persuade the Prince Chu?"
Gu Shubai looked at her with a smile as if he had understood something, "The chief historian said that he is already packing up, but he didn't say that the Chu King agreed. This is not the same thing."
Yu raised his eyebrows, thought for a moment, and suddenly understood something, "Chengfa, this ghost, how can he cheat so boldly?"
Using Yufu's words to deceive Chu County, and then using Chu's words to deceive Yufu, he was really bold enough.
Gu Shubai couldn't help but laugh, "I think he went out to study and didn't read anything else, but his deceptive ability is getting more and more serious. If you tell this to the King of Chu, I don't know how he will think?"
"Be sure to tell Junwang Chu."
Yu helped support his chin and said: "If you don't tell him, I'm afraid he doesn't think he is an elder in my eyes. Knowing that he doesn't want Cheng Fa to go to Xikun, he still allows him to go. But you don't have to tell so quickly. Not too late."
She glanced at Gu Shubai, and the two smiled at each other, tacitly.
When the king of Xikunchu County knew the truth, would he still be willing to drive Ji Chengfa back all the way back
