Entertainment of Spring and Autumn

Chapter 695: A group of good teammates

The royal meal the next morning was brought to Cisheng Palace by the palace servants. Xia Houdi stared at Xue Mu while eating.

Xue Mu lowered his head to eat the pastry with a silly expression on his face.

Xia Houdi didn't have the strength to talk to him, so he said firmly: "I'm going to court. Today the new governor of Yizhou, Zhang Bailing, also came to Beijing. He mainly discussed the development ideas of Yizhou. This is closely related to your Xingyue Sect. Do you want to go? Last court?"

"I won't go. I'm just going to offer some personal opinions here. Natural Gate is in a very embarrassing situation right now. I think Xuan Zhe has conveyed the results of the negotiations there to you. Leng Zhu doesn't have the energy and confidence to continue to cause trouble in Yizhou, but He hopes that Qianshan County, which has been in operation for a long time, can continue to be retained. In fact, this is a matter of saving face. If the entire army withdraws from Yizhou in despair, the natural gate will become a bit of a laughing stock..."

Xia Houdi leaned on the back of his chair and ate cakes, and said with a smile: "Xuanzhe thinks that we can drive the Natural Gate back, and there is no need to save any face for them. Leng Zhu can't be angry now, and Xuuzhe is holding back his thoughts of causing trouble for him. , Leng Zhu is also in the wrong."

Xue Mu said: "Leng Qingshi made a deal with me before and promised to contribute money for construction in Dong'an County and other places. They are quite trustworthy. The tracks have been laid and some high-quality plantings have also been provided. In my personal opinion, Yizhou It would be difficult to rely on the imperial court and Xingyue Sect to jointly develop an area of ​​thousands of miles, and it would drag on for years. If the Natural Sect is willing to continue to provide resources to help the entire Yizhou, then it is not a big deal for them to continue to station in a mere county. If they are stingy , then get out of here and let Leng Zhu decide on his own."

Xia Houdi said leisurely: "Anyway, Yizhou is included in your Xingyue Sect's sphere of influence. You are willing to lose a county. I will not fight for you. Regardless of whether the Natural Sect is entrenched or the Xingyue Sect's influence, it is all my territory. .”

"You are right. Ji Qingyuan and Ji Wuyou always think that it is other people's territory. In fact, it is just the underworld that draws streets for themselves. The essence is still the imperial court, not an independent regime. The people of the world also recognize the legal system of the Great Zhou Dynasty. It is still deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. If anyone wants to raise a flag locally and say that he is not following the imperial order, I am afraid no one will recognize it."

"So you don't usurp the country by yourself, but support me? It's like the Han Dynasty in your Three Kingdoms. No matter how various places fight, the orthodoxy is in the Han Dynasty. Are you following the emperor's orders and disobeying them?" Xia Houdi glared. Said: "Am I the Xiandi you worshiped?"

"I am dedicating myself to the Emperor."

"Pfft..." Liu Wanxi burst out laughing.

Xue Mu said with a shy face, thinking that the Romance of the Three Kingdoms was more popular than expected, probably because it was easier for people to join this system. It was indeed very close to some extent.

Of course, I am neither Dong Zhuo nor Cao Cao. The most fundamental difference is that Xia Houdi is a woman. In the future, only his and Xiahoudi's children will succeed, and Cao Pi will not usurp the Han Dynasty.

Xia Houdi became more and more cheerful last night, which may have something to do with this current situation. She might want to have a child to calm down her inner and outer worries.

Xue Mu and others don't need to save seeds, but Xia Houdi must. This child is destined to be a prince in the belly, regardless of male or female. Xue Mu suddenly thought nonsensically, if the boy is called Prince, what will the girl be called, Taimei?

However, this also reflects something. Xiahoudi ascended the throne as a woman, and with the strong support of Xue Mu, many people may regard him as a puppet Han Xiandi. Although everyone obeys the legal principles, it is difficult to establish authority. very. For example, Ji Wuxing thought that Xia Houdi would be deposed by Xue Mu sooner or later... Even if others didn't think so exaggeratedly, they still felt that Xia Houdi was involuntarily?

Although Xia Houdi did not say anything verbally, he still tried his best to make his first considerable political achievement and explain it to the world, right?

………

Xia Houdi went to court, and Liu Wanxi was too lazy to move today, so Xue Mu went out to find Mo Xuexin.

What Liu Wanxi said yesterday was right. The reason why Mo Xuexin stayed in the capital to do a kind of "court eagle dog" thing was probably to wait for him to be free and get along with him for a while.

Otherwise, there is no need for her hatred and hatred to be used to stabilize the situation in the capital for Xia Houdi. Going all over the world to hunt down the remnants of the Jingtian Sect and the Qing Dao is the most likely thing she will do.

When she met Mo Xuexin, she was at the headquarters of Qixuan Valley in Beijing and was about to go out. The two of them met unexpectedly at the door.

Xue Mu suddenly remembered that he had been to this "Beijing Office". A long time ago, Mo Xuexin went out from here to besiege Xue Qingqiu. That time he came here to find Zhu Chenyao to confirm the location...

Thinking about the changes in the relationship today, it really feels like a world away.

Mo Xuexin stood quietly by the door. Seeing him silently looking at each other with a somewhat nostalgic look, her originally angry eyebrows slowly opened and she smiled slightly: "Are you here?"

Xue Mu reached out to touch her eyebrows: "Why do you always frown a little every time I see you? Is there anything in the capital that worries you now?"

Mo Xuexin watched the gatekeeper turn his head from the corner of her eye. Her face turned a little red, but she did not avoid Xue Mu's hand and whispered: "Because this way you can heal her."

The gatekeeper disciples were a little frightened. It was hard to imagine that this was what their Valley Master would say. But when Xue Mu heard it, his heart suddenly melted and felt warm.

Maybe Mo Xuexin can only be regarded as the one whose heart he used various means to take away, and the emotional prisoner... But she was indeed trapped, and she was moved by true feelings. In front of him, she really couldn't see any inherent pride.

He whispered: "Things have changed in the past few days. I just had some free time yesterday..."

Mo Xuexin smiled and said: "Why bother talking about this? You had to spend time with the Queen Mother yesterday. She is close to the water. I can't say you are partial. Anyway, I am very satisfied that you came to me specifically today. Anyway, you have to spend time with me today. Nothing else I won’t ask any more.”

Xue Mu also laughed: "It looks like you originally wanted to make trouble for someone, but have you changed your mind?"

Mo Xuexin took his hand and walked out together, saying: "I'm looking for someone to cause trouble, can't you accompany me to find it? There is a military advisor by my side, so I don't need to use my brain."

Xue Mu chuckled and said, "I'm happy to help."

"After the death of Yunzhou Governor Cheng Mo, the imperial court sent another Governor Hu. This Governor Hu was determined to make some changes to Yunzhou's closed situation, so he fully presided over the laying of tracks throughout Yunzhou. You Knowing that just one main road in Yunjing is definitely not enough, Governor Hu must pave the entire territory."

"Well, something happened?"

"Yes, half of it has been paved in various places, but now the Transportation Administration will not allocate the remaining payment..."

Xue Mu quickly understood what was going on.

The person who was originally in charge of the work of the General Administration of Transport was Xia Houdi. Governor Hu's application for approval must have been approved quickly, and the track laying in Yunzhou went smoothly. Recently, Xia Houdi ascended the throne, and Li Yingqing was temporarily in charge of the General Administration of Communications. Li Yingqing had a lot of things to take care of in the Shenji Sect. The main thing he did in the General Administration of Communications was just to stabilize the imperial power, and deliberately suppressed Ji Wuxing and others. The power of force is gradually marginalized. I'm afraid he didn't even have time to get involved in matters like internal appropriation, so someone took advantage of this opportunity to do something about it.

The trouble was caused by no one else but Ji Wuli, the king of justice who was in charge of transportation and internal affairs.

"Ji Wuli is looking for death..." Xue Mu thought a little funny: "He deliberately blocked Yunzhou's money at this time. Could it be revenge for you abandoning him?"

"Maybe." Mo Xuexin said indifferently: "No matter what the reason is, I don't have the patience to go to Li Yingqing to file a lawsuit. I just want Ji Wuli's head."

Xue Mu laughed out loud. At this time, no one really cared about Mo Xuexin cutting off Ji Wuli's head. Ji Wuli was really seeking death. What kind of brain circuit would do this?

Mo Xuexin added: "Actually, we have discovered some chaos in the capital recently. I'm afraid Xiahoudi didn't have time to pay attention to it. Such as the original Jingtian Sect's industry, and this time the manor of Ji Wuyou and his party members The property and property were supposed to be returned to the imperial court, but some royal nobles used the pretext that those properties were defrauded by the Jingtian Sect and were all divided up. Ji Wuli's move may not be aimed at Yunzhou, but these morons took advantage of the opportunity. It’s just one example of making money indiscriminately. Anyway, I’m not suitable to take care of other people’s affairs. Ji Wuli has to spit this out to me!”

Xue Mu's pace slowly slowed down, and he suddenly laughed: "I'm really sleepy, so give me a pillow, a group of good teammates."
