After the first assistant's wife is reborn

Chapter 251 Wusun Mission II

Jia Ge, the envoy of the Wusun mission, has a laissez-faire attitude and is happy to see the idea of ​​success.

Maybe the eldest princess can get her wish and marry into Liang Guo's harem and become a queen, no, so can a noble concubine.

At that time, the emperor of Liang State will not have greatly supported our Wusun State's food, cloth and other materials.

Unexpectedly, this young emperor is not a womanizer.

The eldest princess is a first-class beauty in Wusun country, and the king and ministers of Liang country did not think highly of her.

There is no other way, Jia Ge can only say 'haha' on his smiling face to smooth things over: "His Majesty the Emperor, we children of Wusun Kingdom are accustomed to informality, so it's really your Majesty and the Duke's responsibility to act rashly. Born like a dragon and a phoenix, the eldest princess loves her heart. This servant is here to make amends to His Majesty and Lord Wei on behalf of the eldest princess."

"Well, let's not take this as an example." Chen Xiao said in a deep voice.

The eldest princess Huazhu also knew that she had lost face by doing this, and while feeling annoyed, she also hated Chen Xiao and Wei Ziqian.

The delicately dressed and beautiful little face was blushing, she hid her feet, said: "Huh!", curled her mouth, turned and left.

This little farce caused by Princess Wusun couldn't afford to end like this.

Jia Ge saw that the emperor did not pursue the matter, and saluted again: "Your Majesty the Emperor, I have heard for a long time that the subjects of Daliang love Cuju, and there are also subjects in the mission who like this. Why don't we discuss it with each other tomorrow?"

Cuju has long been a sport enjoyed by kings and grandchildren in Liang Guo.

When Chen Xiao heard this, she nodded her jaw: "Yes."

Only then did Gago salute with peace of mind and return to his seat.

The members of the mission this time are almost all brave and militant soldiers, and many of them are good at Cuju.

By the time of the game, he will definitely defeat Liang Guoren.

When the time comes, Emperor Guanliang will ask for a reward, hehe, it must be a valuable gift and bounty!
Wei Ziqian was upset that these small countries used to send some useless furs, utensils and other things in exchange for the necessities such as grain and cloth that they sent back that were several times or even ten times more valuable.

Today is not the first emperor alive, so happy.

As long as the envoys of other countries say a few good words in praise of him and wave their palms, regardless of the hunger and cold of their own subjects, they must follow the practices of other countries.

After the banquet was over, Wei Ziqian stopped Min Yunzhang, Minister of the Household Department, and went to the Political Affairs Pavilion to have a talk.

Min Yunzhang is Chen Xiao's uncle, who was transferred from Huainan back to the capital to report to the household department a few months ago.

He and Wei Ziqian's father, Wei Daxun, were elected in the first round. At that time, Min Yunzhang was the number one scholar, and Wei Daxun was the Tanhualang.

Since Min Yunzhang was a real official, he despised those officials who were corrupt and broke the law, so it was inevitable that they would offend others and offend the late emperor.

Therefore, with the idea of ​​out of sight and out of mind, the first emperor sent him to far away Huainan as the magistrate.

After Chen Xiao ascended the throne, he was quickly transferred to the capital as the Minister of the Household Department.

The Ministry of Households is in charge of the national economy, including household registration, taxation, and overall planning of state funds, etc., and is the main pocket.

Someone like Min Yunzhang is the best candidate to be in charge of the household department.

"Master Min, the grains given to Wusun this time can only be old grains. Not only that, but it will be halved compared to previous years." Wei Ziqian suggested.

When Min Yunzhang heard it, his eyes lit up, and he said excitedly: "Eh? Wonderful! The Duke of the State is still better, and the lower officials are worrying! Before Xuzhou was flooded, there was a lot of food for disaster relief, and then you are going to fight again, my lord. Another supply of grain and grass. If the past practice is followed, the grain will be given to them, and our soldiers guarding the frontier will have to eat less. Hey, this is a very good move! Thank you, Lord Guo, for your reminder."

Min Yunzhang is not a nerd, after Wei Ziqian's little attention, he paid attention to it.

Not only send them old grains, but also mix them with miscellaneous grains and bran to fill them up.

If we gave them food and fed their stomachs, it was inevitable that they would not be full enough to have the energy to show off at our Daliang border.

Wei Ziqian bid farewell to Min Yunzhang and went home, temporarily swallowing the disgust in his heart.

When I got out of the palace gate, it was already drizzling outside.

At this time, in the middle of the night, there was no one in the Duke's mansion, only the continuous drizzle accumulated on the grass and leaves, and it made a rustling sound when it fell.

The Duke's Mansion is not as dotted with lights as in the palace, there are only a few sporadic spots dotted among the vegetation, and the lanterns under the corridor glow in the dark.

When I got home, I went to the Xici Room to wash off the greasy powder smell of the eldest princess on my body, and changed into a crescent-white robe. Half of my black hair was tied on my head with a jade crown, and the rest was scattered behind my back. , the robe is also a Confucian shirt style, with slightly open cuffs.

Only then did she walk into the dormitory, at this time Xia Sichan had already fallen asleep.

At dusk, Kang Cheng came in and replied that the emperor was entertaining Wusun's envoys today, and the Duke estimated that he would not be able to return home until late at night.Tell her to go to bed early without waiting for him to eat.

When Xia Sichan saw Kang Cheng, she hurriedly asked Siju to fetch the painting she had just painted the day before yesterday, and troubled him to take it to Shanshui Pavilion and hand it over to Mr. Qiu.

At this moment, she just woke up from a sleepless night and opened her eyes in a daze to see Wei Ziqian coming back.

He stood in front of her, his whole body was as pure and gentle as the orchid and jade tree.

"Sir, you're back." When she spoke, the end of her voice was drawn out long and lingering, still tinged with sleepiness from just waking up.

Wei Ziqian paused, looked at her bewildered eyes and did not speak.

He lowered his head and kissed her eyelashes: "Well, to wake you up, I'll turn off the light for my husband." Wei Ziqian bent down and blew out the bird-beast-shaped copper lamp, then took off his shoes and went to bed, facing him sideways Xia Sichan said: "After lunch tomorrow, I'll ask someone to pick you up to watch the Cuju competition, okay?"

Xia Sichan was getting more and more sleepy, and she didn't know if she was listening, she muttered in her small mouth: "Well" Then, she found a comfortable position in Wei Ziqian's arms, and fell into a deep sleep.

Wei Ziqian was dumbfounded.

······
A good night's sleep, the spring breeze and rain are just a foil.

The next day, the sky was full of rainbows and the sky was clear.

After Xia Sichan got up, Wei Ziqian had already punched a set, and went to the palace refreshed to handle official business.

These days, the official affairs of the DPRK and China say whether they are busy or not.

Wei Ziqian didn't need to bother with the Wusun mission, as he had his own special department to deal with it.

It just revealed some meaning from the emperor's mouth, guessing that the emperor will go to the hot spring mountain resort to escape the summer soon.

Even if the emperor wanted to go to the hot spring resort to escape the summer heat, he would have to wait until the empress's pregnancy was stable in three months.

Therefore, regardless of whether the emperor was going or not, Wei Ziqian had to take care of the court affairs in advance so that the emperor could leave with peace of mind in case he traveled.

Last night, Xia Sichan vaguely seemed to hear Wei Ziqian say something about Cuju.

I don't know if it's a sleepy dream or a dream.

Xia Sichan shook her head, and quickly put this moment behind her.

After washing up and having breakfast, the nanny brought little Shen Rong in as usual.

　Jia Ge: In the Cuju competition, he will definitely win the people of Liang. When the time comes, the emperor of Liang will ask for a reward. Hehe, the reward will definitely be huge.

　　Wei Ziqian: Go dreaming!
