Chapter 12 Red Rabbit!

……

After the previous topic was over, Jiang Xuzhen took out the poem that he had transcribed, should it be called "Shanpo Yang·Sheng Caring for the Ancients" now?
When writing it at the time, Jiang Xubai changed it a little in order to be realistic.

Shengguan is an important pass of the Tang State, preventing Liang State from going north.

Dongdu refers to Yujing, which used to be the capital of the Jin Dynasty and was later moved to the north.

The two countries of Yan and Qi have fought most frequently in the past century.

The two families were originally feuds. A hundred years ago, King Yan held the emperor hostage, and the grand master was hereditary. The second Jin Dynasty and Qi Dynasty were in the same vein, and the two families were almost incompatible.

At this time, when you come back and read the whole poem, it will be easier to understand.

Jiang Xuzhen really has a research on poetry, and explaining his understanding of these poems in front of Jiang Xubai is short of analyzing Jiang Xubai's mood at that time.

Good guy, Zhang Yanghao called out to the experts——

The two talked to each other, drank a glass of wine from time to time, and the court was filled with a happy atmosphere.

After drinking, Jiang Xuzhen is about to leave, he is not as idle as Jiang Xubai, it is common for him to help his father with state affairs, especially now that the state policy is changed and people are needed.

"No need to send any more."

After sending it to the door, the servants put on Jiang Xuzhen's blue clothes, turned to Jiang Xubai and said, "No matter what, you and I are brothers, we will meet again when we have a chance."

After finishing speaking, Jiang Xuzhen got into the carriage, looked back at Jiang Xubai, and smiled gently: "If you are bored, you can come to my house, I still have a lot of good wine."

"Brother Wang, don't worry, I will definitely go next time."

He cupped his hands at Jiang Xuzhen and chuckled lightly.

"Ah."

Back on the carriage, Jiang Xuzhen coughed, and then asked the coachman to drive.

……

Watching the carriage walk out of the alley, Jiang Xubai looked away.

It can be seen that this time, his brother Wang's first purpose is to get together with brothers.

After all, many people don't believe that Jiang Xubai has any thoughts about the position of the son, because the position of the son has already been settled.

This time his brother Wang came over, the comfort was true, and the temptation was also true...

This is what Jiang Xubai thinks, it's not a bad thing to have an extra heart.

In Jiang Xuzhen's view, Jiang Xubai is still the same as Jiang Xubai three years ago, but in fact he has already changed.

If his elder brother really came to test him, it can only be said that he underestimated him.

As for appeasing the courtiers, could it be that some of the prince's party are not patient enough, and a word makes them anxious?

The possibility of an excuse cannot be ruled out.

No, I still have to remind Xu Jiuchang to wipe his butt clean. Once the new paper is promoted, there will be something wrong with it.

Now, Jiang Xubai can't go in a hurry, the prince just left, so he shouldn't be in such a hurry.

From the meeting just now, Jiang Xubai couldn't figure out what his elder brother was thinking for a while.

There is no emotion in his eyes, which is different from the people Jiang Xubai has come into contact with before.

Thinking about the meeting just now, Jiang Xubai picked up a book and read it.

In ancient times, books were very precious no matter which world they were in. Even Jiang Xubai, the third son of the Shu Kingdom, only had more than twenty books in his family.

Most of the other books are in the aristocratic families in central Shu and the Shu Palace.

The book Jiang Xubai is reading now is called "Tao", not the one written by Laozi, but a theory compiled by a person named He Zongxian.

Like the Taoists of the Warring States period in the previous life, they all focus on the theory of "the great way is inaction, the heaven and the earth are natural", and they believe that the heaven and the earth run naturally and should not be interfered with.

This kind of theory is not accepted by any country. Think about it too. This theory negates the actions of all countries. Which country will accept it?
There are many theories similar to the previous life, and the names are similar.

Jiang Xubai also thought that the Kingdom of Shu doesn't seem to accept any theory now.

He glanced at the system.

[School of Reception Theory: None]

Sure enough, I don't know why the theory was not accepted, but the theory has its benefits, and it will provide the country with a buff, for a long or short time.

At present, the Shu Kingdom has not accepted it, even Zhang Yi's strategists have not accepted it.

It seems that it is not enough to simply adopt a strategy, and there should be certain conditions for the acceptance of the theory.

No way, no experiment, can only rely on speculation.

Among them, Jiang Xubai has a better opinion of the Legalists, Strategists, and Military Strategists, but he doesn't know the buff.

It won't be bad if you think about it.

Suddenly, there was another movement outside, and no one even reported it.

Putting down the books, Jiang Xubai walked out.

A group of servants came in in two rows, with a middle-aged man in the middle.

The middle-aged man has a round face, looks slightly fatter, and has a long beard. He gently twists the beard with one hand, and holds a piece of red cloth in the other.

Jiang Xubai had seen this person before.

Shen Lanqing, father's confidant, although not the Prime Minister of the Shu Kingdom, has a status that is not inferior to that of the Prime Minister.

In this scene, Jiang Xubai already knew what to do, so he immediately knelt down.

Shen Lanqing looked at Jiang Xubai who was kneeling, opened the cloth in his hand, and read aloud.

"...Young Master Jiang Xubai has a fair temperament, understands the sentiments of the people,...For the good fortune of the country, a special reward of one thousand gold and silver, one hundred pieces of brocade, a set of brocade robes, and a pair of jade crowns..."

While talking about the rewards, a servant came out with the rewards. At the end of the recitation, there were eight or nine people.

"My son, thank the father, the king!"

Regarding this reward, he didn't show anything on his face, it was just a thank you anyway.

After taking the cloth from Shen Lanqing's hand, Shen Lanqing's voice became much lower.

"Young master, the queen also has something to tell you."

This sentence moved Jiang Xubai's heart, his mother asked someone to bring him a message?

"It's getting cold in Sichuan, so add more clothes. If you're bored, you can go to the palace to accompany your mother, who will make you your favorite crispy cake."

After Shen Lanqing finished speaking, she pointed to the red horse behind her and said, "This horse was given to you by the queen."

Jiang Xubai sighed in his heart, and then said: "Thank you, Mrs. Shen Taifu, Jiang Xubai will write it down."

The Taifu, an official position in the middle of Shu, is in charge of the finance of the Shu palace. For more than ten years, it has been controlled by Shen Lanqing.

Facing Shen Lanqing, Jiang Xubai must lower his attitude.

"Ah."

Shen Lanqing looked at Jiang Xubai, smiled, and left without saying anything unnecessary, and even closed the door for Jiang Xubai when he was done.

And Jiang Xubai was puzzled when he saw the pile of extra rewards.

It would be good to send a servant for this kind of reward, why let Shen Lanqing come forward in person?And this time the rewards are a bit too much.

It's not that he thinks too much, there should be a problem in the middle.

Also, his mother actually knew that Shen Lanqing was coming, so she specially sent a few words.

In fact, the most important thing is the last two sentences, which means that I hope Jiang Xubai can go to Shu Palace to see her.

This also gave Jiang Xubai a headache, how would he face his mother.

In Jiang Xubai's memory, his mother was the best person to him, and he was more willing to be close to his mother than his elder brother.

It was not until later, after leaving the Shu palace, that I separated from my mother.

"Young master, this horse..."

Just when Jiang Xubai was thinking about it, Luo Xiaoyi came over leading the horse.

This horse's fur is fiery red, its eyes sharp, and its body proportions are very harmonious. Only in Hexi outside the territory can there be such a good horse.

His mother loves horses, Duke Liang loves his daughter dearly, and every year on his mother's birthday, he will give him the best horse in Xiliang, and I think this one is the same.

Luo Xiaoyi's eyes were sharp, and he noticed the small characters on the reins, and said, "My lord, this horse has a name."

"It's called... Chi... Rabbit."

"???"

　Thank you for your rewards, thank you very much, and thank you for your votes!
