Dao Fruit

Li Kun was no stranger to the Tulang tribe. The imperial court had several fierce battles with the north, and most of them were severely defeated. The main force of Rouluo included the soldiers and horses of the Tulang tribe. Of course, the memory was still fresh in his mind.

"Send someone immediately to confirm the authenticity of the matter!"

Li Kun stood up from his seat and paced back and forth, looking uneasy. It took a while before he felt relieved.

"What else is written on the secret fold?"

After finally calming down, Li Kun's thoughts returned to normal. He looked at the white-faced old man beside him and asked.

"The secret is that Duke Zhuangyuan killed the barbarian to wear dentures because he was provocative and insulted the majesty of the heaven." The old man lowered his head and said, although the words were not stated clearly, there was a hint of intercession.

Li Kun's expression did not improve, but he took a long breath, shook his head and said: "I don't know that the Hu people are arrogant, but since they are determined to send troops, they should suppress their thoughts and avoid striking grass and alarming the snake. Now it seems that although Qiu Yan is talented He is extraordinary, but after all, he has never experienced a battlefield and has no overall strategy in his mind. He actually shows off his bravery. I am afraid that it is because he has cultivated his destiny, and he will have to polish it in the future. "

As he spoke, he took out a piece of paper from his hand, spread it out, and then took up a pen to write down his opinions on the matter.

At this time, the white-faced old man suddenly reminded: "Officials, although this matter is secret, the mission involves all parties, but there are many channels to convey it. I am afraid that someone in the DPRK has got the news. If it is handled privately, it will be detrimental." ”

"Huh?" Li Kun frowned, then sighed and shook his head, "Yes, there are many members of the envoy, and several factions are involved. If I can get the secret report, they will naturally not have no information."

It turned out that the news that Qiu Yan had killed Tulangbu and fabricated his dentures at the north gate of Dingchang had been sent to the palace at high speed. In contrast, the memorial to Meng Qingbin was still on the way.

but. Each member of the group has different forces behind them, and they all have interests involved in this mission to Sanshui. They have already passed the news through their respective channels, and many of them have used magical means.

After pondering for a while, Li Kun said again: "It's not their turn to comment on this matter. Qiu Yan is talented, so he still needs to be protected. I can't be forced to withdraw from the No. 1 Scholar in Xinke just because someone from a foreign country died, but to do this It's inevitable that there will be consequences, so let's stay away from the limelight for now." With this in mind, he wrote down a few words and handed them to the white-bearded old man.

Seeing that he had made a decision, the old man stopped trying to persuade him.

Then, Li Kun continued to deal with government affairs. It wasn't until the middle of the moon that he returned to the palace to sleep.

That night, he saw a real dragon in his dream, which was connected to him by blood. Saying congratulations.

In a daze, when the time came, Li Kun was awakened and recalled the scene in his dream. But he couldn't grasp the clue.

"Congratulations to me? Congratulations for what?" In confusion, Li Kun was served to change into a dragon robe and arrived at the Golden Palace according to etiquette. Sitting high on a dragon chair.

The ministers of His Highness shouted long live the mountains and bowed in salute. Their thoughts and dragon energy soared into the sky, rising together with the red sun, shaking the world of eight wastelands, and the true veins of dragon energy that entrenched all over Dali turned around.

In the high-pitched voice of the eunuch, the morning session began.

Gong Gong, the princes, can change the laws of the world with one word.

In the magnificent palace, seemingly ordinary mortals, as long as an idea is spoken, it will condense cause and effect, and then affect the world.

The report was made, the decision was made, the undercurrent was surging, and there was a faint situation of factional opposition. Wang Fu and Ma Yang, the leaders, did not say much. Li Kun, who was aloof, also looked normal and always controlled the situation.

This morning's court appearance looked the same as usual. Both the old and new parties were gathering momentum and lurking. Even if there were any quarrels, they were only minor.

As Li Kun listened, his doubts gradually disappeared. Seeing that it was coming to an end, he was about to speak. At this moment, Tian Youqing suddenly stepped out, raised the wat board high, and said: "Your Majesty, I have something to report!" "

Tian Youqing was fined a salary because of the imperial examination, and was ordered to stay at home and think about his mistakes. However, he was trusted and valued by Li Kun, and was regarded by Li Kun as the leader of the new party in the future. Within a few months, he was re-elected. Called into the court.

He did not keep a low profile because of this, and continued to act vigorously.

It was precisely this that made Li Kun feel that he was a man of affairs and was not restricted by the bad habits of officialdom.

However, now that he is out of the queue, it makes Li Kun feel bad. But as long as he sits in the Jinluan Palace, he is no longer Li Kun, but the emperor who represents the personality of Dali Jiangshan. What he says cannot be ignored. Follow your own will.

"What does Tian Qing want to say?"

After saying these words, everyone's eyes were focused on Tian Youqing. Many people guessed the reason, but they remained calm and prepared to watch the fire from the other side.

Tian Youqing had some free time and said seriously: "I heard that there are disputes on the border again. Some court officials secretly killed the people of Beibang, which made Na Rouluo furious. This is an act of chaos for the country. Don't you hear that..."

Hearing this, Li Kun's heart "thumped" and he knew that he was right.

"Sure enough, Tian Qing still has a gap with Qiu Qing, and now she's going to add insult to injury."

As an emperor, there must always be a difference between what he thinks in his heart and what he expresses. This is the art of mind, which is an inheritance of Legalism. Li Kun thought about yesterday's secret book and immediately knew that Tian Youqing was going to target Qiu Yan. , but you can't say it directly, but try to calm it down.

As for how Tian Youqing got the information about the envoy, it is not a secret. Even if he wants to pursue it, it is just a small crime. On the contrary, it is what the other party wants to say next, which is difficult to deal with.

At the same time, the leaders of the old and new parties who are firmly seated in Diaoyutai are making their own moves——

Wang Fu's eyes widened, showing anger, while Ma Yang's eyes showed coldness and narrowed his eyes.

These two people had the name of school yesterday, and they had a little halo of hundreds of schools of thought. They participated in the congratulations from all directions. Don't you know what Qiu Yan did?

"Is Tian Youqing going crazy because he wants to criticize his political opponents? The classics have just been written, so he chose this time to trouble Qiu Yan. Let's not mess with our own position. Just the news of the humane classics, Qiu Yan If Yan's reputation is established, who can protect him? How can he touch Qiu Yan now?"

This thought flashed through Wang Fu's mind. The black-faced gentleman wanted to interrupt him, even if he was accused of being disrespectful, he couldn't care less.

However, before he could speak, Tian Youqing's words were interrupted, but a guard came in to report that there was an urgent military situation coming from the border.

"Military emergency?"

"frontier?"

"Could it be..."

The combination of several words touched the nerves of all the officials in the palace. Thinking of the northern border troubles in recent years, they couldn't help but speculate, and they all wondered if there was another movement in the northern Rouluo.

Among these officials, there were many well-informed people who had also received the news from the Dingchang City envoy. They linked up and immediately complained, thinking that Qiu Yan was impulsive. When he looked at Tian Youqing again, his thoughts changed. He felt a little bit worried about Qiu Yan's trouble.

Even Li Kun was shocked by the news. Thinking of Qiu Yan killing Bu Dentures, and then hearing the "urgent military information" ringing in his ears, he became anxious for a moment and subconsciously spoke -

"It's a big mistake for me..."

However, the white-faced old man in front of His Majesty narrowed his eyes and looked at the guard who reported the news. His thoughts turned and he knew that if something bad happened, it would not be reported directly to the court, but it would have to be shown to the emperor first, and then the news would be spread.

"There must be a reason inside, and it may not be a disaster."

This is not the wisdom of the old man, but the confusion of the Li Kun authorities.

In his groggy mind, Li Kun waved his hand and asked the man to invite the messenger in.

There were heavy footsteps, and a man who looked to be about thirty years old walked quickly. He had a pair of thick eyebrows that were stretched straight over his eyes, giving people a cold and hard feeling.

"General Yang Cong, I have met your Majesty!" As soon as he reached the center of the hall, the man knelt down on one knee, cupped his fists and saluted.

This also shows that the status of military generals and civil servants are different. When civil servants meet the emperor, they only need to bow and salute, but military generals have to half-kneeling, which makes them half a head shorter than civil servants.

The civil servants in the palace also focused their gazes on him. Although they were busy with the war, they could not help but look at the general with a hint of pride.

The ministers gathered their thoughts, and a faint coercion enveloped the past, with a sense of superiority unique to civil servants, and the air was not small.

Faced with this situation, many military generals often find themselves at a loss.

But this Yang Cong looked as usual, showing no fear. Instead, he stood up at Li Kun's order, with a hint of arrogance on his face!

Li Kun's voice came from His Majesty: "General Yang, you said there is an urgent military situation. What is it? But there is a border battle report?"

Yang Cong then said: "I am here not to deliver battle reports, but to deliver news from the frontier." After saying this, he held up a letter in his hand.

"Border news? What's the difference between this and a battle report?" Li Kun was stunned when he heard this, his mind became clearer, and he asked someone to bring the letter.

An old man with a white beard read it first. After reading a few words, the old man's pupils suddenly dilated and his face showed surprise, which eventually turned into joy.

Noting the old man's expression, the officials couldn't help but express curiosity and surprise, and then put aside their worries about another war on the border.

They are in the imperial court, and they are the ones who observe the words and expressions of these people. They know what various expressions mean and know that they are not battle reports.

"I guess there is another 'record' coming. I wonder if it can compare to that Master Pan."

After thinking about it, many people turned to look at Pan Xiang who was behind the courtiers. The latter was looking at his nose and mouth, looking like he was in trance.

Amidst all the speculations, the white-bearded old man suddenly knelt down, shouted long live, and then said: "Congratulations to my emperor!"

"Huh?" Li Kun became more and more confused, but he calmed down. He reached out and read the content on the paper, and then his eyes widened, "What? Qiu Yan created a humane classic on the grassland?"

Because the news was so unexpected, Li Kun couldn't control his voice at all. The words immediately spread throughout the hall, and the few noises in the hall disappeared instantly, and you could hear a needle drop.

Tian Youqing, who was waiting quietly in the hall with a smile on his face and looked confident, was shocked, and subconsciously called out: "Humane classics? Qiu Yan?" Then, he looked confused. (To be continued...)
