Qingchuan History

Chapter 190

Unprecedented, Jing Tingge did not follow the logic of the dialogue at the moment, and was stunned for a moment and said: "You must be sick."

"Sometimes I'm thinking, the reason Ji Ji chose you to start is not only because of your cleverness and talent, but also because of this face?" He has been looking at this face for five years, nearly two thousand days and nights, and he still doesn't feel tired of it. , "A woman with extraordinary ingenuity and beauty is destined to stand at the top and stand beside a monarch. Brain power can help her become famous, and beauty can keep her alive."

Of course he didn't know that Gu Xinglang also asked Ruan Xueyin a similar question a few months ago in the Banlan Hall of Qi Palace.Whether the beauty is the standard of Pengxi Mountain.

Jing Tingge understood the meaning of his words for a moment, and was not in a hurry to refute the saying that looks can save lives, but only sarcastically said: "You mean, because this face is beautiful, you will not be punished even if you violate it?"

"Because this face is pretty and I like it, so I won't punish it."

She was short of breath, and thought to herself that this person is getting better at talking about topics, can this also come back?Then she suddenly had a doubt:
"I never asked you, if I hadn't looked like this, would you have welcomed me into Prince Mu's mansion, and would you have kept me by your side?"

"will not."

Jing Tingge raised an eyebrow: "Really?"

"Naturally." What's the point of taking this seriously?

It turned out to be just like that.The conclusion started from the mind, but suddenly fell into the bottom of the heart.She suddenly felt absurd, and then felt lost, as if she realized that the moonlight falling by the window for many years was just the shadow of a lamp.

"Your Majesty, have you figured out how to deal with me? If there is no order, I will read the book."

Murong Xun didn't think there was anything wrong with the answer just now, only that she was still angry, and the answer about looking good and liking just now had brought him back to his daily situation.

Annoyance plummeted.

"Today's words, you need to remember. No matter how indulgent I am to you, there is a bottom line. For such a big matter, you can't make decisions on your own in the future, let alone let me know in time. No matter if you see Murong Lin, Ruan Zhong or anyone else in the future, You must greet in advance. As for the promise to Ruan Zhong, the words have already been spoken, and it is not easy to say back immediately, so let's wait and see what happens, and don't make any other moves."

"it is good."

She looked sleepy, he couldn't figure out the situation, and he was unwilling to leave here. He wanted to say something, but he heard Huo Qi's voice from outside the door:

"Your Majesty, Lord Shangguan is waiting outside the Palace of Imperial Palace to see you."

He raised his eyebrows slightly, and glanced at Jing Tingge again, but the other party still had a cold face, standing by the table without any response.

That's all.He sighed softly, put away half of his thoughts, turned around and left the still water dock.

Quite different from the layout of the Qi Palace, which spreads out in a ring around the Wanlan Hall, the Fourth Lady Hall and the Imperial Garden, the Wei Palace has a square layout, with the Imperial Palace as the central axis, and all the halls and pavilions are distributed from east to west, neatly from south to north. uniform.Looking down from the air, the rows of palaces are nothing more than two straight lines running from north to south. They are lined up on both sides of the imperial hall, with avenues or flower paths dotted in between. The imperial garden is at the southernmost point, almost parallel to the still water dock on the west.

It was a long distance from the Imperial Palace to Jingshuiwu at the southwest end, and Murong Xun always took a chariot.Therefore, it didn't take much time to return, and after about a stick of incense, he appeared in front of Shangguan Shuo in the main hall of the Imperial Palace.

For some reason, this elder, who was just over fifty and always tall and straight, looked a little haggard today.After a short distance, Murong Xun connected the word "old" with Shangguan Shuo for the first time.

After all, there are two dynasties.he thought silently.

"I see that Xiangguo's complexion is not very good today, but he is not feeling well?" He leaned forward and asked, showing his concern.

"Thank you for your concern. The old minister has always been healthy and there is nothing wrong with it."

Murong Xun nodded: "Very good. It's autumn and winter changing seasons, hot and cold are unpredictable, Xiangguo needs to take extra care of his health. There are few things these days, so you should be more at ease, there is no need to worry too much."

"Your Majesty is sympathetic, and the old ministers thank you. It's just that the Shangguan family has been valued and protected for a hundred years, and they dare not be unsatisfactory; the great cause of the Wei Kingdom has not been accomplished, and the veterans dare not slack off."

Whenever Shangguan Shuo meets the saint alone, he is always given the courtesy of sitting down, this rule has been enforced since Murong Xun came to the throne, two years ago, both sides have gotten used to it, so at this moment when Lord Xiangguo replied, he was still sitting calmly and did not get up.

"Xiangguo has worked hard for the affairs of the court for many years. I have been sleeping late at night. I have seen it since I was a child. However, everything should be relaxed and relaxed. It is too late. If the bowstring is stretched for too long, it will be easily broken. Now that the situation has not risen, we Then cultivate your body and mind, and wait for the time."

Shangguan Shuo's face was still pure and calm, and he nodded slightly when he heard the words: "Your Majesty's words are very true, I will keep this old minister in mind. I came here today to report something."

In the past two years, Shangguan Shuo seldom went to the Imperial Palace to ask for an audience. The previous few times, he was summoned to answer questions and discuss matters. The initiators were all Murong Xun.Today he took the initiative to enter the palace, which was abnormal; at this time, he made it clear that he had something to report, and the people sitting on the dragon pattern chair suddenly felt uneasy.

It's not like a small thing, and it's not like a good thing.

"Please speak, Xiangguo."

"Speaking of which, it is already an old matter when His Majesty the First King was in power. I thought that the matter had changed and it would be safe, but now it seems that something went wrong."

Murong Xun's heart trembled, and chaotic and scattered thoughts floated in his mind, and finally gathered into a cold question: "Is it Fengting Pass?"

"Not really. Not at all."

He has never been able to figure out why people who are good at calculating always like to play riddles in circles.Over the past few years with Jing Tingge day and night, he has developed some patience for gossiping that he didn't have before; since he took the throne, he has dealt with the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty every day, and the arrogance and casualness in his bones have long since settled down a lot.

But the three words "can be regarded as" caused a storm in his chest without warning, so that he couldn't bear any patience and continued to accompany others to guess the riddle.

"Please also ask Xiangguo to speak clearly."

The tone of the voice was not as good as before, and Shangguan Shuo could hear it very clearly.After all, the city is not enough.he thought silently.If Murong Ling is sitting on it right now, his performance should be better.

Things of nature cannot be twisted by force, which is why the name he said in front of the first king back then was Murong Ling.

The past is the past, the wind leads the sand to bury it, the foregone conclusion is the foregone conclusion.It is never the rules of the game, but the time that really makes a chess player regretful.

Rules may be broken, but time is irreversible.

Because time is irreversible, so choice is irreversible.

In that dark battle for succession, the most outstanding one was indeed Jing Tingge.

The elder leaning lightly on the back of the chair closed his eyes for a moment, and when he opened them again, his eyes were as clear as before, and his sitting posture was also adjusted upright:
"In addition to Quan Zi and Mrs. Qi Guojin, the old minister also has a daughter who went to Qi State 18 years ago and entered the Qi Palace 12 years ago. Over the years, she has regularly sent news from Jidu back to Cangwu. Counting, she is 22 years old this year. "

Few words, calm.

Murong Xun was not a father, and he was not sensitive to the tone of words, but in the last half of the sentence, he could hear some desolate meaning like the northern border of Wei Kingdom.

He suddenly understood the vicissitudes on the brows of the other party when they first met today.

"Xiangguo said that Mrs. Jin also has an older sister who is now in Qi Palace. Is it a hidden thread that my father buried when he was there?"

"Yes. But whether she is still in Qi Palace now, the old minister is not sure."

Murong Xun raised his eyebrows, "What do you mean?" He processed quickly in his mind, and then asked again: "She was discovered?"

"The old minister dare not draw conclusions." Shangguan Shuo's expression remained distant, and his voice remained calm, "After September, the monthly contact was suddenly cut off. Throughout October, there was no news."
