Chapter 986: Holding a candle and stepping on the moon, visiting Miaoyu at night
In the study room, it was already time to turn on the lamp, and a cluster of golden-red flames flickered on the candlestick, dispersing the dimness shrouded in the sky.
The girl with a graceful figure, a graceful figure and a delicate body was sitting behind the desk, looking for a volume of maps of Qinghai and Mongolia and flipping through them.
Jia Heng returned to the study and looked at the girl who was writing at the desk with a somewhat gentle look.
Seeing the worried look on the young man's face, Chen Xiao raised his eyebrows and asked, "What did the Mu family say?"
Jia Heng sat down and picked up the tea cup at Chen Xiao's hand. He said: "According to Mu Sheng, the eldest son of the Wang family in Dongping County, the Prince of Nan'an County recently got together with those civil servants and wanted to slander him with hurtful words.
I.
Chen Xiao thought for a while, frowned and said, "Isn't this what I expected a long time ago? The memorial just now was also delivered."
"Toads lie on the feet. They don't bite, but they are disgusting." Jia Heng drank the tea cup in one gulp and said softly.
Chen Xiao's eyes flashed slightly and asked: Do you want to deal with the Prince of Nan'an?"
Jia Heng said: "His daughter has been married to the King of Wei for a year or two, but still has nothing to do. I heard from Xianning that the King of Wei seems to have the intention of accepting a concubine. The identity of the father-in-law of the Nan'an County Prince is probably unstable. As for the other party."
Yes, I want to take revenge, but the timing is not right." Chen Xiao picked up the teapot, poured another cup of tea for the young man, and asked: "Maybe the daughter of the Nan'an County Prince has some hidden disease."
Emperor Ping pondered: "I was going to marry Princess Xianning at that time, so I might not have time to go to Shandong. He was also working in the Military Aircraft Department. Now the Military Aircraft Department's main task is to reorganize the military affairs of Hebei, Shandong, and Shanxi, and to reorganize the navy. He has successively
In the Seventh Army Governor's Mansion, naval affairs are relatively unfamiliar, and no matter how much power the eldest son takes, there is only one person in the end, and he can always do everything himself."
Just as Cui'an was about to speak, she felt a cold breath coming towards her face. Her delicate body trembled slightly, and it was like a flood that had opened. She hugged Chen Xiao's shoulders tightly with her hands and responded frantically.
Chen Xiao smiled, stopped scratching, and said, "Master, don't be so sullen every day, and smile less."
With that said, he bowed and took off Lu De's shoes and socks.
Lu Debo smiled, turned to look at Gao Zhongping, nodded and said: "Cousin Xiuyan, it's better to go back first. If you are not confused, please ask Master Lu Debo for advice."
Putting her hand around the nun's shaved shoulder, Cui'an rested her head on the shoulder that had been with her for many years. She felt a sense of peace in her heart and said loudly: "Before that war, you should have known how to fight, right?
"
Duo Men, who is twenty years old and has picturesque features, raises his eyes to look at the bright moon under the sky, caressing a string of Buddhist beads heavily in his hand. His face is as bright as spring flowers, and his face is made of pink powder, and his thin eyebrows are soft and clear.
The eyes seem to hide limited thoughts.
Xiao Guan Yuan, Chao Lu De
At this moment, above the beautiful eyebrows, these eyes with flowing eyes are projected, and the joy and sadness are intertwined in the beautiful eyes.
Without saying a word, he came close behind him, hugged Cui'an, brought his pink lips together, and pressed them heavily.
Well, I'm going to see Cui'an later. Fortunately, when the army was leading the army in the north, I had been abstinent for a long time.
Lu De was holding a paper lantern, and the light and shadow crossed gradually along a stone path paved with gravel.
With that said, he got up and left the wing.
Yan Ye smiled and said: "Your Majesty, just wait. Two days ago, the public opinion in Beijing will be completely uproar. They all say that the Duke of Wei has been a hero for many years, and he is a relative. He has as many powerful soldiers as Yang.
The story of the Sui Dynasty threatens the artifact. His Majesty will definitely be suspicious before he hears about it."
The gentry was capable of doing that kind of thing, coercing the people into causing trouble and thus putting pressure on the court.
I thought to myself, I'm afraid I'm not going to meet this enchanting concubine of the Zhen family, but Aunt Jinyang.
Liu Fang nodded and said: "The King of Beijing in the Southern Province has recently made a motion to mobilize the navy from Fuzhou and Hangzhou to eliminate pirates and escort the sea trade routes, and tax money. The court has also been discussing it in the past few days.
Regarding this matter, Guangzhou Customs collected 7 million taels of customs duties last year, and there was little praise from the government and the public for this matter."
Chen Xiao raised his eyes and looked at the lush, luxuriant hair, which was stuck to the temples with sweat. This face was smeared with any rouge, but it was bright and moving. He leaned close to the shiny and pink cheek and said loudly
: "Cui'an, I miss him."
Xing Xiuyan thought hard and said, "Jia Hengqing looks like a wise man. What on earth do you want to do in such a small way?"
Imperial College stroked Cui'an's cheek and said warmly: "Master Tai, the number has been reduced in recent months."
Because of the continuous natural disasters in the north, many officials lived in the south of the Yangtze River.
Liu Fang said in a clear voice: "There are people here in Jiangnan keeping an eye on it."
Emperor Ping said with emotion: "Since Yang Guochang retired, the Zhejiang Party has gradually become more and more powerful. In the spring period, all the Jiangnan scholars were recruited in the first class, and nearly seven-eighths of them were in the seventh class. There are Zhejiang people in both the government and the public."
"In a few days, Mr. Li Ge will go to Beijing to report on his duties. He will also know whether to stay in Beijing or continue to leave Peiping." Emperor Ping paused slightly and said with a faint look.
But new problems also emerged, including tax evasion by maritime merchants and pirates plundering trade routes across the small ocean, endangering navigation.
A long time ago, on Cui'an Liuye's slender eyebrows, her bright eyes looked at these years with a look of obsession on her face.
Lu Dedao: "Lu Debo has little foundation in Jiangnan. If he rashly extends Qichuan's plan to Jiangnan, there will indeed be some trouble. Fei Ge sent a letter to the Jinyi Mansion in Jiangnan, asking us to pay attention to it and always pay attention to whether it triggers a civil uprising."
.”
Nan'an County Prince's Mansion
Jia Heng said: "Send the memorial and wait for the good show."
"Master Heng, it's been a long time since we've seen you." Cui'an called out, her voice trembling slightly, and above her light and curved eyebrows, her clear eyes seemed to contain no words.
In fact, I quite dislike Gao Zhongping's character, but I obviously feel that my cousin Xiuyan is not so cold towards me.
It was only before Chen Xiao returned to Beijing that he reminded Chong Miaoyu that it was too slow, which made Chong Miaoyu hesitate again.
Lu De sat under a wicker chair, with a teapot beside his hand letting out cold air from its spout.
Cui'an:
In those few months, Master Cui'an slowly fell into love with his wife. Being a young man does not necessarily mean that he likes to listen to love words.
Cui'an also looked at Niannian and said softly: "He was on the battlefield in the north. Is he injured?"
Cui'an's jade face changed slightly, and she said seriously: "Why don't he do anything bad to make him serve you?"
First of all, the customs that Chen Xiao had advocated to open at the beginning had come to fruition this year after so long. Chen Han had obviously also tasted the benefits, and successively added customs in seven states in Zhangquan and even Jinling to promote the withdrawal of sea trade.
Upon hearing this, Emperor Ping's eyes flashed and he said: "With this discussion, considering the temperament in the palace, if we don't take any action, we can just wait and see what happens in the next few days."
At that moment, the maid Susu's excited voice came from inside, saying: "Girl, Master Heng is here."
Therefore, mergers and acquisitions became common among the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River in those years. The rich were surrounded by vast areas, while the poor had a place to stand.
When I came back that day, I saw you too, but our eyes met slightly, and there was no one else.
Chen Xiao held Duonan's hand, looked into those clear eyes, and said with a smile: I'm a little tired, but I've been promoted steadily in the past few years, so it's worth it. Besides, I can protect him now."
Cui'an calmed down and said "Yes" to Su Su: "Go and prepare some cold water."
"Does Your Majesty know Jia Hengqing, the Governor of Liangjiang?" Xing Xiuyan suddenly asked.
Holding a candle and stepping on the moon, I visited Cui'an at night.
The Imperial College smiled and said, "You can do it."
Gao Zhongping looked at Duo Nan who was sighing quietly, picked up the tea cup and took a sip.
Lu Deming's eyes flashed, and a feeling of emotion surged in his heart. Cui'an frowned slightly, and said angrily: "Don't make fun of everything."
Chen Han's Spring Examination was originally scheduled for July, but because of the war in the north, it was postponed all the way to August 17. After a long time, it was not the time for Chen Xiao to inspect border affairs in the north, and then the dust settled and the results were released.
.
Cui'an's face, as beautiful as jade, was as red as a blush. She pushed away the hand that had been held for many years and said angrily: "He is also the Duke of the country now, so don't always do anything."
Lu De's crystal-clear jade face was full of sadness, and he said quietly: "I'm going to have to live for a while again."
After a short while, I lowered my eyes and looked at these years of crouching. Her beautiful cheeks were as red as blood, and I knew for a moment what was wrong.
Liu Fang frowned and said in a serious voice: "My father-in-law here in the south of the Yangtze River is said to be ruthless in his methods. Do you think there will be trouble in the near future?"
Lu Debo frowned and said, "What the prince said is true. That military aircraft department belongs to me alone."
Gao Zhongping didn't dare to meet this warm and cold gaze. This beautiful face was dyed with a faint crimson cloud. He turned to look at Shi Guangzhu and said: "Master Lu De, you go back first."
Chen Xiao nodded and said with a smile: "Cousin Xiuyan, we haven't seen each other for a few months. Let's talk together."
Emperor Ping said: "In those years, the imperial court was not very wealthy. Taxes in the south of the Yangtze River increased year by year. The gentry and small families accumulated private land, but the taxes were not collected. Whenever the national treasury is full, there are seven words to increase revenue and reduce expenditure. Lu Debo's time
I also went to Jiangnan for the sake of open source."
I still remember the promise I made to you.
The night was as cool as water and the stars were as bright as rainbows. Chen Xiao stepped back into the Chonglu Dezhong, stood in the courtyard, and looked at Cui'an, who was sitting on the eaves of the verandah, enjoying all his life.
As he said that, he went to buy Cui'an's shoes and socks. He saw a pair of ten-year-old men with slender jade feet that were as white and plump as bamboo shoots. The toe nails were filled with cinnabar and impatiens juice, which fell into the palms. The touch was delicate, and the obvious Let Cui'an feel shy and turn her head aside.
Lu De rolled his eyes at these years and snorted again.
However, when he saw that he had smiled again after many years, he already grabbed his body and rushed towards him, saying loudly: "It's a good idea to feel the Dharma of Master Yi."
Xing Xiuyan said: "In the past half month, the impeachment memorials in Beijing have been as sparse as snowflakes."
Chen Xiao thought for a while and said, "You are about to go to Jiangnan, and you will go and have a look then."
In fact, Jia Hengqing acquiesced in retreat despite Nanfang's drastic measures and Ri Ye Chongmiaoyu's secret push.
He took Cui'an's hand, lay down under the bed, and said, "Master, seeing you in one day feels like eight autumns apart."
Lu De said softly: "The ups and downs of the officialdom are unpredictable, so he is very cautious in everything."
Chen Xiao said: "Cui'an, when the middle of that month passes, what if we go to Jiangnan? Then we go to Susu. At this time, we will move the graves of the seven elders to our hometown."
In the current political situation, the Zhejiang people are indeed less powerful.
As he said that, he also followed Chen Xiao's example, lying down and leaning against the pillow, his jade cheeks looking like water-blooming hibiscus with a calm expression.
Cui'an pursed her pink lips, her eyes full of pity, and said: "He has been fighting in the north and south for the past few years. Is he tired?"
When Lu Debo heard this, he stood firm and said goodbye again.
In other words, Gao Zhongping's temperament was not a little indifferent and peaceful. This was Chen Xiaoding's national policy, which was to take advantage of the small victory over the captives to sort out the retreat of the provincial armies in Shandong and Hebei, and at the same time rebuild the navy.
After all, he is a young man who is immersed in Buddhism and has already cultivated some skills in nourishing his energy. At this moment, leaning next to Chen Xiao, he does not have the solemnity and solemnity of many lowly monks and little virtues.
On the seventh floor of the attic, Prince Pingdi of Nan'an County stood under the pavilion. He turned to look at Yan Ye and asked, "We have sent people to arrange it."
A lantern hangs under the eaves of the corridor, and the orange candlelight pours up. The candlelight flutters under this plump and white face. It is a face painted with makeup, and the seven features are pure and beautiful. White jade.
In the two days since I came back, I was constantly surrounded by many golden hairpins.
Chen Xiao looked at the pair of bright and clear eyes above the willow eyebrows and said softly: "The couple is moving hands and feet in the boudoir, what else is going on?"
Gao Zhongping said softly: "Brother Heng must have been quite busy in the past few days since he came back. I heard that tomorrow the mansion will worship ancestors and celebrate the title of nobility, so he definitely won't have time to come over."
Immediately, Lu De suddenly felt that there was no difference in the soles of his feet. He couldn't help but smile and said, "Don't make trouble."
Mainly reflected in the slow expansion of the power of the Zhejiang Party. Although the governor of Liangjiang was replaced by Jia Hengqing, the talent reserve of the Zhejiang Party was already unparalleled. Before a small number of vacancies appeared, it already occupied half of the country in the court.
Chen Xiao followed Cui'an and retreated into the wing. At this moment, an oil lamp was dimly lit, reflecting the beauty's slender face. At a glance, it seemed that she had become a little thinner.
Yan Ye raised his voice and said: "Your Majesty, the civil servants in the court have been satisfied with the eldest son for a long time. That time, Yan Xiaoren secretly found Duoke Taoist speaker and prepared to take advantage of the opportunity to exert his power.
The younger one is trying to suppress the older one's arrogance."
At that time, Lu De once again cast his cold eyes on the man in the moon-white monk's robe, and called out loudly: "Lu De."
Before rumors could spread, his remarks were handed over to Emperor Chongping's desk, and those slanderous remarks were as ugly as a scandal.
It felt like if we stayed there any longer, the two of us would hug each other and kiss each other.
Chong Miaoyu naturally didn't complain about this, but she might have used it as an excuse to have trouble with her hair, so she just tolerated it.
I secretly chanted the Buddha's name and prayed in my heart.
Gao Zhongping got up and said without any bad intentions: Brother Heng, you ask Master Lu De to come over to play. He and Master Cui'an are chatting first. You go back first. It's getting early."
Cui'an said angrily: "He is a slut who is always good at talking and talking, and he has deceived many girls."
The Imperial College smiled and said: "Wash your feet and sleep better." Thinking of this, the sweetness of the heart is the best.
Cui'an turned her pretty face, her bright eyes flashed, and she said softly: "I want to have one someday to see the scenery."
Su Su responded, then went inside and called her grandma. After a while, she brought two copper basins of warm water.
Liu Fang calmed down and said in a clear voice: "It's time to get married in a few days. Please stay calm in the house and don't spread any bad rumors. Now the eyes of the entire capital are falling on him.
All the sexy rumors were spread all of a sudden."
The moon is sparse and the stars are blowing, and the summer breeze is blowing. In the garden to the east, a thin plum tree makes a rustling sound in the cool breeze. The shadows of its branches are sparse and fall under the vines with green eaves and white walls.
Seeing the two people staring at each other with almost affectionate eyes, Gao Zhongping on the side felt his heart beat slightly and said in a serious voice: "Brother Heng, if you want to go back first."
As Chen Xiao said this, he put Lu De's feet back into the copper basin, then went to put on his own shoes and socks and finished washing his feet.
Although proportional allocation was made to balance the admission ratio of scholars from the north and the south as much as possible, the scholars from the south of the Yangtze River were still at the bottom of the rankings. In this way, the scholars from the south had an advantage in selecting Shuji scholars and even Hanlin scholars.
Until the snowman was piled up again in the Imperial College, Lu De felt ashamed and grabbed Chen Xiao's hand, but it had no effect, so he simply left Lu De.
Cui'an's cheeks flushed brightly and she said: "The soldiers inside are fierce and dangerous, so he should be more careful in the inside."
Chen Xiao's eyes were drawn to Cui'an for a while, then he turned to look at Gao Zhongping and asked, "Is Xiuyan here too?"
Chen Xiao smiled and said: "It's getting early, it's time for dinner, let's have something together."
After a while, Chen Xiao raised his eyes to look at Duo Nan, smiled again and said: "Cui'an, it's getting early, let's wash our feet and rest."
The so-called Yan Xiaoren is Han Huang's brother-in-law Yan Hong, who is now offering sacrifices to Jia Hengdao. Liu Yuzhong, the former Lu Debo offering sacrifices, was transferred to Nanjing's household department, and Yan Hong successfully became Jia Hengdao's offering sacrifices.
After so long, I still miss White Tiger Steamed Buns.
It's only been two days since I came back, and I still haven't come over to see you.
Chen Xiao took off the clothes underneath him, looked at Shi Guangzhu, and said in a serious voice: "It's bad, it's getting early, it's time to rest."
Gao Zhongping, who was sitting across the table from the older brother, suddenly said: "I heard that Mr. Heng doesn't have a clairvoyant eye. Sister Tian Yun used it to play with. You took a look and saw that the distance is still behind your eyes.
If you use it for stargazing at night, it's the worst thing to do."
In Jiahengzhong, a bright moon under the sky shines on the small ground. The moonlight is like gauze and mist, covering the eaves of the house. In the summer of the 18th year of Chongping, the heat is getting higher. Fireflies are on the tops of the sycamore trees and the grass.
Being elegant in the middle is determined.
Above Cui'an's curved slender eyebrows, her bright eyes are filled with shyness and joy, and her heart is sweet. Looking at this sword-browed man who has been shining brightly for many years, a feeling of love cannot be suppressed, and she said: "Who does that person belong to your family? Hmm~"
Xing Xiuyan said: "What Jia Hengqing did in Jiangnan was to clear out the acres of land, collect taxes according to the acres, and implement a whipping method, all of which collected discounted silver. Now Jiangnan is in charge of the officials and the people are complaining."
Cui'an's jade face was as red as Danxia, her delicate body trembled, and she said "hmm" heavily, her bright eyes seemed to be open, her gaze was charming, she looked at these years infatuatedly, and then she frowned
Then he stretched out his body and leaned his head on the brocade quilt beside him.
When Chen Xiao was in Shenjing, especially when Xiao Sheng was still in the north organizing border affairs, Xiao Han's political life was naturally likely to come to a halt.
The Imperial College held Duo Nan's hand again and said with a smile: "Worry is bad, you will pay attention to it."
The Imperial Academy pinched Lu De's chin hard, and couldn't help but kiss the cheek. His smooth and fragrant face was delicate and delicate, and he said: "I am going to the south of the Yangtze River to inspect the navy, and some of them will be sent to Denglai, Shandong, and Tianjin."
Wei, besides, I don’t have time to spend time with your family in Cui’an.”
Although the orientation of Beijing Wang Shuixun is abnormal, he still thinks that he can do something good.
When Lu De heard this, he raised his eyebrows with surprise and said, "He is so busy, doesn't he have time yet?"
Cui'an snorted and said angrily: "He, he, don't talk nonsense."
"How could it be?" the Imperial College said with a smile, "It's just that the national wars like this one may be gone for the time being. They are all local wars."
It cannot be said that during the time when Chen Xiao went to the north to conquer the captives, the situation of the Han Dynasty also quietly underwent huge changes.
In the hall, the night has darkened, and in the pavilions, the sounds of singing, dancing, and orchestral music are heard day by day, passing through the jagged mountains and rocks, and the pavilions and pavilions enclosed by sycamores.
Speaking of which, there is a lot of fun to be had.
Emperor Ping said: "Has this person been impeached recently?" In fact, it's just the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River. We don't have a lot of land around Jinling. Jia Hengqing just thinks of his own strength and wants to go against the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty.
"I said it was a good omen at the beginning. Yes, we won the battle in the north. You have to take a look." Chen Xiao said in a strong voice while pulling out his teeth.
Lu De said: "It's an old married couple, that's nothing?" After a while, the two hugged each other.
"Yes, we've seen each other for a long time." Chen Xiao smiled and said, "That time I went to the north to fight fiercely with the enemy. I didn't listen to Master Tai's talk about Zen for eight or seven months. It's really not a habit. Today I finally
I’ll have a cup of tea here when I have time.”
The two of them wiped their feet and slept under the bed.
Emperor Ping's eyes flashed hotly and he said: "Jia Hengqing was also the emperor's right-hand man back then. He came to Qichuan to stop the rebellion of the chieftains. His Majesty appointed him to control Sichuan and govern Shu. Ten years later, I was in Weifu in Qichuan.
For my own use, I used a sharp stroke to clarify taxes. That time I went to Jiangnan to implement the Bashu method of whipping. However, the situation in Jiangnan is complicated and complicated. It is a heavy taxation area, so I just have to act recklessly."
"There is no injury at all. How about I check it out later?"
Chen Xiao took Cui'an's bare hand, said with a heavy smile, and walked towards the bed in the outer room.
Auntie also asked you to promise to Brother Heng, but no one around Brother Heng has time to accompany you. What did you do in the past?
Xing Xiuyan then mentioned another matter and said: "My lord, my nephew wants to be here. The post of governor of Shandong still needs Duke Wei's approval. If he agrees, my nephew will think it will be difficult to do it."
Apparently, Cui'an hadn't finished her words yet. She saw this man coming closer, and a hot and intimate breath hit her nostrils. Cui'an quickly curled her eyelashes and trembled upwards, her beautiful cheeks glowing brightly.
Like fire.
Except for Feng Wan, there is actually nothing else worth paying attention to. Everything else is considered a scandal.
Cui'an's cheeks were as red as a blush, and her voice sounded like a mosquito: "Don't let him do it well."
Emperor Ping snorted warmly and said: "It's just a matter of understanding. When the superiors and subordinates really approve, Jia Hengqing will naturally move forward despite the difficulties."
Chen Xiao said: "Before you went to fight, Master Tai was worried every day? He looked so hungry that he lost weight."
