The cool breeze in the early morning blew slowly and softly into the building.
The chirping of birds in the early morning is full of vitality, so crisp and sweet. A dark wind blows through the grass and trees, bringing with it bursts of light but not strong fragrance, which slowly spreads in the building.
Xiao Fuling still had a smile on her face and was cheerful. Being praised by her mother made Xiao Fuling feel happy.
The ghost mother's face was also full of smiles, and her eyes were filled with relief.
Xiao Fuling's ability to understand and penetrate was perfectly inherited from Ghost Mother and Xiao Shizhu. With a little guidance, anything can be solved.
It's not like the mother is a virtuous son and her son is filial if she doesn't teach Xiao Fuling, but once she is taught Xiao Fuling something to do, everything will go crazy.
It also made Xiao Shizhu and Ghost Mother feel very worried about Xiao Fuling.
This is also one of the reasons why Xiao Shizhu always wanted to make Xiao Fuling his concubine.
Xiao Fuling understood this and learned some knowledge.
"Now, do you still think that historian deserves to die?" The ghost mother sat down again and asked with a smile.
Xiao Fuling smiled and shook her head silently. She was no longer angry and felt that the historian was not guilty.
"Whether it's running a country or fighting a war, that's it. It's inevitable that you'll do something wrong, but you shouldn't cover it up or hesitate." Seeing that her daughter had calmed down and gained some sense, the ghost mother continued to teach Xiao Fu.
Ling said something: "Then you have to recognize your mistakes and correct them. In this way, no matter the common people, ghost officials, ghost officials, or ghost generals, they will obey you, and they will work together with you, and they will
Loyal to you.”.
Hearing this, Xiao Fuling pondered deeply.
At this time, Chen Ruo walked in with several palace maids.
Among the grass and trees in the building, there is a stone table carved from sapphire.
The whole table is rectangular with four legs. Thirty-two golden toads are squatting end to end on the edge. There are also two snake heads on the left and right ends of the table. Each snake head bites a fish with wings in its mouth.
.
Lifelike, vivid.
The appearance is weird, but it is a product made by the ancient gods in ancient times. I don’t know how the ancient gods created things like this? What is the meaning? But now, this table is the dining table of Xiao Shizhu and the ghost mother.
They ate here for countless days and nights.
The maids placed the food they were carrying neatly on the table and left.
Today's breakfast is also very simple, just a few slices of white, mellow steamed cakes. After two bowls of steamed milk, there is a light cyan milk with a strong milky aroma.
In addition, there is also a plate of fragrant steamed dumplings.
Xiao Shizhu strives to be full and have enough nutrition. If he can't waste it, he should try not to waste it. Therefore, his three meals a day are usually very ordinary.
The fragrance was overflowing. After Chenruo placed the two sets of tableware, he went to get a simple and elegant round jade bag with no complicated patterns. It contained the freshly squeezed juice this morning.
It uses a base that resembles a stool, with a channel on one side for the juice to flow out, and the juice is squeezed out. Connected to the channel is a groove for placing raw materials, and there is a wooden board above the groove for adding force.
; Such utensils are designed to be simple, convenient and easy to use.
Now that Xiao Fuling has arrived, the maids have prepared breakfast for her.
Seeing this, the ghost mother called Xiao Fuling and walked to the dining table.
She didn't have to go to court this morning, and she didn't have to eat in a hurry. She could eat leisurely and chat with her daughter.
After the mother and daughter sat down, Chen Ruo poured them both a glass of juice. The juice this morning was squeezed from mandarin oranges that only bear 150 fruits a year.
It tastes sweet and sour, and is Xiao Fuling's favorite juice.
After pouring a cup for Xiao Fuling, Xiao Fuling couldn't wait to pick up the cup and take a sip.
The ghost mother said to Chen Ruo: "Let's chat with mother and son. You don't have to wait around. Let's go have breakfast."
After saying that, he took the elegant round jade bag from Chen Ruo's hand and put it in Xiao Fuling's hand.
Chen Ruo responded, retreated, and closed the door for them and their daughter. Only Xiao Fuling and Gui Mu were left in the building.
"Eat it." The ghost mother picked up a piece of steamed cake and put it into the plate in front of Xiao Fuling.
"Poria, the Beiyin Dynasty made mistakes and refused to correct them. They just kept hesitating and hesitating. They would only cover up their mistakes and lose the support of the people." The ghost mother took a sip of warm milk and drank it.
This little skill in governing the country told Xiao Fuling: "If I hadn't been so hesitant and like to hide and cover up everything, I wouldn't have lost the support of the people."
Anyway, Xiao Shizhu was determined to make Xiao Fuling his heir. These things Xiao Fuling would have to learn sooner or later. Since she was his own daughter, the ghost mother naturally had no reservations and handed them over to her daughter.
"I remember." After saying this vaguely, Xiao Fuling swallowed the chewed food in her mouth.
She then picked up the cup, took another sip of juice, and asked, "Mother and concubine, is my father still on parade at the Yuque Hunting Ground?".
Xiao Fuling didn't know that Xiao Shizhu had left the city for Danshui County. The confidentiality of this matter was done very well, and even she, Xiao Fuling, was kept in the dark.
The ghost mother immediately nodded without thinking and continued to hide Xiao Fuling.
"It's been almost a month. I haven't seen him for a long time. Can I go to the hunting ground to see my father?" Then Xiao Fuling asked again.
"No, what is being carried out in that place is the highest military secret operation." The ghost mother shook her head without hesitation and rejected Xiao Fuling: "It's not that I can't trust you, but you have to take guards with you when you leave the palace, and the news will inevitably leak out."
.
A look of disappointment suddenly appeared in Xiao Fuling's eyes, but she didn't mess around. She nodded and said "oh" and never mentioned the matter again.
She, Xiao Fuling, has also served as a superintendent of the country. She knows top secret matters and usually has authority. Xiao Fuling will not bother to know things that she is not supposed to know.
"But Fuling, if you come, I will give you a task first." At this time, the ghost mother changed the topic and asked Xiao Fuling: "You know, the annual ghost people's representative conference from all over the country,
It’s about to be held.”
Xiao Fuling nodded and said yes.
The green smoke from the incense burner around you curls up and rises slowly, and the elegant aroma makes you feel relaxed and happy.
Xiao Fuling knew what parliament was at this time. It was a unique aspect of Jiuyou Kingdom. Representatives of the ghost people held a meeting together to review various bills, reports and other issues that benefited the country and the people, and issued governance opinions suitable for each place. They also signed jointly in accordance with the law.
Propose motions, inquiries, removals, etc. At the same time, put forward suggestions, criticisms and opinions on all aspects of work.
This allowed the country of Jiuyou Kingdom to run very well, and at the same time opened up a wide range of voices, preventing Xiao Shizhu and the Ghost Mother in the palace from becoming deaf and blind.
There is a saying in the Jiuyou Kingdom: "The imperial court is made of iron, and the representatives of the ghost people are represented by flowing water.".
In order to prevent these representatives of the ghost people from being bribed and deceived by the ghost officials of the imperial court, Xiao Shizhu would select new representatives from the list of ghost people from various places every three years.
In this way, the situation of the people in various places can be brought to the Yuque Palace as it is, and Xiao Shizhu and the Ghost Mother can know it after entering the meeting.
At least half of the matters among the people can be restored to their original form at the meeting, without any falsehood.
Xiao Fuling also knew these things. She fully understood the operation of Jiuyou Kingdom when she was supervising the country.
It's just that Xiao Fuling doesn't know what the ghost mother is going to do now when she mentions this matter.
"Your father is training troops in the hunting ground, and I can't get away from here. I'll leave it to you to host this year's meeting." The ghost mother then said to Xiao Fuling slowly: "Listen more and watch more.
Talk less and watch more how others deal with various things."
Originally, Xiao Shizhu wanted the ghost mother to preside over the meeting, but the ghost mother then thought about it. Xiao Shizhu wanted to appoint Xiao Fuling as his chu, so it would be a matter of time before he presided over such a meeting.
Why not take this opportunity and let Xiao Fuling practice.
You can also let Xiao Fuling see the world.
If Xiao Shizhu knew about it, he would also support it with both hands.
Of course Xiao Fuling wanted it, so she agreed without thinking too much.
"I agreed, you have to do your best." The ghost mother smiled and warned: "After the meeting every day, come back and report the situation to me."...
Xiao Shizhu's car is still on the underworld, speeding south.
They had already left Danshui County, and Li Tianying also led his army back to the county.
Just because there was a prison car behind him, Xiao Shizhu asked Qing Lan to put the flag that had been prepared, with a white background and red lines and a Haechi pattern on the sleeves, on the door of the car and waved it in the wind.
That is the flag of the Autumn Palace, which is in charge of punishment. Carrying this flag on a vehicle is equivalent to swearing to the people passing by that this is a vehicle escorting ghost prisoners.
Although inspections can be made at the passes in various places, they are not allowed to be blocked or detained without authorization.
And you must not attack vehicles arbitrarily or without paperwork, or intercept and detain vehicles.
Xiao Shizhu did this not because the flag had such a protective effect, but because he wanted to use it to disguise himself as an escort team.
Otherwise, the explanation of the iron barrel prison car following behind would be unclear.
Inside the car, Liuyun was no longer afraid.
Xiao Shizhu's words and deeds made her feel at ease; she believed that such a lord who enforced the law fairly and had foresight could protect her and the Jiuyou Kingdom well.
Following Xiao Shizhu, I will naturally feel at ease.
After one night, she no longer had any fear and panic towards City God Li Tianyun. Moreover, Liuyun slept soundly in the second half of the night.
Liuyun felt that as long as Xiao Shizhu was around, he would definitely strive to create a stable, peaceful, and just ghost country. In such a ghost country, the officials and people are like fish and water, close to each other, and no one has to be afraid of anyone. Naturally, there is no need to fear those
Officials.
Xiao Shizhu saw Liuyun waking up, not only full of energy, but also looking natural, so he asked: "Aren't you afraid of those evil forces?".
"With you here, I believe they won't dare to cause trouble." Liu Yun shook his head and said at the same time that he was no longer afraid of Li Tianyun and the others.
"That's right, everyone is afraid, but what you are afraid of and what you shouldn't be afraid of must be clearly defined." Xiao Shizhu took advantage of this to teach Liu Yun a lesson: "Courage is also slowly polished in this way.
It’s something you practice.”
"Yeah." Liu Yun nodded a few times and suddenly felt that he had made a right decision and it was right to follow Xiao Shizhu back.
Here, she can indeed learn more knowledge that will not be taught in the academy.
Xiao Shizhu felt relieved, turned to look at Qing Lan who was yawning and looking at the map, and asked: "Will we pass by Shizhu City recently?".
Qinglan nodded, continued to look at the map in his hand and said to Mu Qingming: "If we walk quickly, we can reach Shizhu City in one day. If we go slower, we can reach Shizhu City in two days."
After that, Qinglan rolled up the map and put it on the bookshelf, and rolled up the curtains on the car window to let in the morning breeze.
Xiao Shizhu faced the breeze and suddenly felt refreshed and no longer drowsy.
He picked up his hand pot; the tea inside had cooled down, but he still put the spout to his mouth without thinking and took a sip of tea.
Xiao Shizhu, who was talking nonsense, then said to Qing Lan: "At noon, find a town. It won't be too late for us to take a rest before going on the road. We can also rest until tomorrow before leaving."
"Okay." Qinglan nodded and asked, "Do I need to go to the hotel?".
"Okay." Xiao Shizhu agreed without hesitation, but also warned: "But don't let strangers approach our room."
Immediately afterwards, Xiao Shizhu said to Qinglan: "You go to the street to buy some incense and candles. After arriving at Shizhu City, I will go to the island to pay my respects.".
