The reborn sycophant

Today is another small family feast.

Wei Chuyan knew what mother's plan was, she had opened a mansion a few years ago, and she didn't live with her parents.In the past two years, as her position in the court has become more stable, several houses have been changed, each of which is more splendid than the other. Of course, these are all written by Zhao Ji. Move the place, and make the mansion very good by the way.

Wei Chuyan often needs to accompany her in the middle of the night, Wei Chuyan is closer to the palace, Wei Chuyan can walk less, and can sleep more every morning, Zhao Ji has such thoughts.

He lives far away from his parents, so whenever Wei Chuyan has time, he will go back to accompany the two of them, talk about things that have happened recently, and probably have another meal with him.In the past, Wei Chuyan regarded this as part of her filial piety to her parents, but since the beginning of this year, her mother began to frequently mention the suitable men and women of each family at the banquet, such as how gentle and kind the third daughter of Master Su's family in the north of the city is. , what is the grandson of Mr. Lu's family in the south of the city, how is he so beautiful... Wei Chuyan's ears became callused by the nagging, and it also knocked over the vinegar jar in the palace several times. During those days, Wei Chuyan always felt sour in his mouth.

In the end, she was able to push this kind of small family banquet, and she couldn't push it away. She just listened with a smile, but never judged other girls and boys, and wished she didn't say a word. Wei Wan'er's appearance is also worrying.Wan'er couldn't hold her daughter, so she complained wrongedly to her husband, but Li Yuan didn't interfere with this matter. Sometimes Wei Wan'er cried, so he patted his wife on the back distressedly, saying that the first banquet was a proper one, and advised her Don't worry about it too much.

At this time, Wei Wan'er would sob and recount: "How can she be a proper person! Yes, she is so big that she seems to be smart, but she has grown so big that she has never even opened a mouth If you have to, you still don’t want to get married now, tell me! Is this what she calls being modest?”

Li Yuan also had things hidden in his heart like Wei Chuyan, seeing this he could only smile helplessly and comforted him constantly.

Unlike Wei Wan'er's big heart, Li Yuan has seen some clues.

He knows the daughter of his family, she seems to have a delicate heart, but she has a rare honesty when it comes to feelings.What is very troublesome is that there seems to be some inexplicable relationship between the first banquet and that person in the palace.

If Li Yuan was suspicious, it should start when His Majesty was not enthroned.At that time, His Majesty was still a young Highness, and their husband and wife followed their daughter to the north, saying that they were avoiding people like Yunan, but in fact, they followed up because they were promising at the first banquet, they were His Highness's companions, and they were able to support the door.But the longer this day passed, the more Li Yuan felt something was wrong.The companions in front of your Highnesses are indeed relatives and close ministers of Your Highnesses, but His Highness Eleven treats the first banquet with more than just the word "familiarity"?

Is there any His Royal Highness who rewards his companions with things every now and then?And which family's highness often goes to the courtier's house to play?At that time, His Highness the Eleventh was involved in all these things. Although she and the first banquet kept secret about her going out of the palace, there were several times when Li Yuan met that Highness at his daughter's house.

The suspicion in his heart has been buried since then.Up to now, His Majesty is unwilling to marry, and neither is A Yan from his family. One said that he still misses his father in his heart and is willing to continue to perform filial piety, and the other said that he had a hidden disease a few years ago, and he did not want to delay his family by marrying.

But if he is a father, can he still not know his daughter?Hidden disease?The first banquet has not even been injured a few times, so where is the hidden disease!This bastard is willing to bear such a bad reputation in order not to get married. Wan'er wants to persuade her with a few words, is it just a dream!

His wife was still crying, Li Yuan comforted his wife, and his heart was also tense.

The daughter is so old, and she doesn't want to marry or take a concubine. Is he really not in a hurry as a father?He is anxious!But he couldn't force his daughter, because he knew that if he forced him, he might end up on His Majesty's head.

He is also heartbroken, he is such a good daughter, how could he have an inexplicable relationship with the emperor?However, what a precious person that is, the first banquet has already been touched, these years, when the two of them followed their daughter in wealth and glory, they accepted it with peace of mind, and when they asked their daughter to rescue Tang'er, they also accepted it with peace of mind, now It's time for them to repay His Majesty's love, how can he force his daughter?

Li Yuan was also in a dilemma at first, but later this chubby middle-aged man rubbed his fat belly, thinking about it and thinking about it, and finally he figured it out.

As soon as he got married, his daughter took the surname of Wei. He was able to go to marry, and he didn't care about passing on the successor of the Li family. If you are so smart, how can you let yourself fall into such a field?Besides, Your Majesty...as long as His Majesty is in power for a day, the first banquet should be a happy one.

Li Yuan didn't think about it any more, he even helped to persuade his wife, but with little success, and he couldn't express his guess, so he got himself sick.This is good, Wei Wan'er was busy guarding him, but she relaxed some of her urging on her daughter, this day's family banquet was really just a family banquet, it was just a misunderstanding of the first banquet.

It was indeed a misunderstanding.Wei Chuyan arrived at his parents' side, sat down, and was ready to listen to his mother's nagging from the beginning to the end of the banquet, but this time his mother only mentioned his father's body, it seemed that he had no intention of going any further. Leave her alone.

Wei Chuyan was a little surprised, but it was rare to be so quiet. She ate half a bowl of rice, and then sent someone to find two good doctors to take her to her parents, and went back to the yamen to handle some affairs. went to the palace.

It is a hot summer night, the sky is the clearest time of the year, the moon and stars at night are very clear, and the moonlight and starlight are very bright, which makes it more difficult to explore the palace at night, Rao Every time Wei Chuyan went to Zhao Ji's place, it was a bit difficult.

There are many first-class masters in the palace, the key is that these people are numerous and vigilant. Under such circumstances, even Wei Chuyan must be handled with care.

Fortunately, apart from avoiding the hidden guards on the periphery, Zhao Ji's confidantes who are close relatives in Ganlu Palace have all met her, and they know that she is His Majesty's favorite minister, so they don't make a fuss.

It's just that sometimes, after a night, His Majesty called people to clean up the traces, but they didn't know how and when Lord Wei left. Sometimes, they would feel ashamed, so they would keep their eyes wide open every night. Yes, if they could occasionally catch a trace of the breeze, it would be enough for their colleagues to show off for several days.

Not knowing one's whereabouts has become a little joy in the boring life of the dark guards. Wei Chuyan still went to the palace quietly that day. Next, I don't know what kind of tricky things I encountered.The hall was quiet, a few candles made of butter in front of Zhao Ji, brightly lit, Wei Chuyan saw that she was busy, so he sat down beside her, watching her busy with her head down.

Knowing that she was coming, Zhao Ji raised his head and glanced at her. When their eyes met, Zhao Ji lowered his head again and took the time to say: "There is sweet osmanthus lotus seed soup for you on the table over there. You don't want to eat it recently. Is it fire? Drinking this has some effect."

Wei Chuyan glanced at it, and really saw a food box on it, she opened it, took a Jingdi porcelain bowl with flowers on the gold background, scooped the soup into the bowl, drank it cool, and really felt better.At this time, Zhao Ji seemed to have made a decision, writing quickly, and after a while, she finally put down her pen and walked to Wei Chuyan's side.

Chu Yan also put down the bowl at this time, and when she saw her coming, he grabbed her hand and rubbed her wrist carefully. Zhao Ji sighed comfortably, and rested his forehead on Wei Chuyan's shoulder. Ask Wei Chuyan to pour tea for her.

Now that His Majesty is on fire, the teapot is also full of herbal teas that can clear away heat and reduce fire. Wei Chuyan poured her a cup, made one himself, and drank it slowly.

"At the end of last winter, the Xiongnu committed several bloody crimes on the border, and it seems that they have also fought against our border troops several times."

When Zhao Ji talked about the Xiongnu, Wei Chuyan had heard about it before, and she put down her teacup: "Most of the Huns don't farm land, they just herd herds. Every year, the food is not exchanged by cattle and sheep, or by robbing. Go It was said that it was a severe cold on the grassland, and many cattle and sheep froze to death. They didn't have enough food for themselves, so naturally they wouldn't trade cattle and sheep. If they wanted to eat enough and wear warmth, they must have come to Daqi to squeeze the border people. I heard from the spies over there that at the end of autumn last year, the Xiongnu already had a premonition of the severe winter cold. They rode fast horses back and forth, and when they found out which villages had harvested rice and wheat, they plundered. Such robbers did not know How many border residents have been killed."

"This year the border residents moved to the interior again, but what they vacated was my Daqi's land, which is a good land that can grow crops. They are driven back every year like this. I can't tolerate the Xiongnu like this!"

Zhao Ji was a little angry for a moment, Wei Chuyan counted the time, and said to her: "If you can't tolerate it, let's not tolerate it. After all, our first tough battle with the Xiongnu should also come. We have been going to the border all these years. The relocation, sending them seeds and agricultural tools is for the food reserves of the frontier army. Now, even if there is a [-]% loss every year, that [-]% can make the Huns survive the winter, and the remaining [-]% is counted as the frontier people. Fifty percent, forty percent go to the army, our soldiers can fight with strength."

The Xiongnu were mainly carnivorous, and the [-]% of the food was barely enough for them, but it fell on the frontier residents who had no meat or vegetables, and it took [-] to [-]% to count as a year that was not in vain.They kept these, and the rest were collected by their own army. This is a good method that Zhao Ji extracted from the war with the Huns in his previous life. In this way, once the war starts, the frontier army's own food and grass will be enough to eat. It's March.

This is already a very large number, so many troops.

"It's almost time."
