Chapter 255 Consonance
Su Mingxi said lightly: "I saw the moonlight was good, so I came out for a walk." After he finished speaking, he showed a very strange expression, looked at Ruan Siqi, thought for a while and finally turned his head away, and asked lightly: "Why are you like this? Night?"

"Another [-] stones of grain and grass were delivered today. I just finished reconciling the accounts. I came out to wake up and go back to sleep later." After Ruan Siqi finished speaking, he also looked at the bright moon in the sky and murmured: "It's the fifteenth day again. Now, no wonder the moon is so big and round. It’s been half a year since we left Beijing. I don’t know what’s going on at home? My wife and sister can only report that they’re safe, alas! Nothing happened."

Su Mingxi was silent for a while, and Fang softly said: "Don't worry, I told my younger sister before I left that she should take the fourth younger sister to Zhongxinhou's mansion more often, and let her find a way to help if something happens in the mansion. "

Ruan Siqi gratefully said: "Thank you very much, I didn't know you were so careful. It's just... alas!" He shook his head, thinking: I am ashamed, you are so thoughtful, but I am destined to be unable to repay you.My sister is really unlucky. She has missed such a man in her whole life, and she won't be able to find him in another ten lives.

Su Mingxi seemed to know what he was thinking, and said lightly: "You don't have to think too much, and I don't have other thoughts. Miss Ruan is Xiaobai's lifesaver, and the whole of the Duke's Mansion is grateful to her."

While talking, I wondered in my heart, was the secret passage just my illusion?Why did he seem to see Miss Ruan?It seems... she is thinking of me too.How is this possible?She may not be completely ruthless towards me, but she should avoid me too much, right?How... how can I still hear her say marry me?Are you really thinking too much?Su Mingxi, Su Mingxi, you are such a despicable villain. On the surface, you seem to be able to let go of everything, but why do you always have to struggle like this in your heart?You have decided to fulfill Miss Ruan and let her be free for the rest of her life?Why do you still want her to put on a phoenix coronet for you?Could it be that your essence is such a villain with duplicity in appearance?

Thinking of this, I suddenly saw a flash of fire in the northeast direction, and then the horn sounded.Su Mingxi's complexion changed, and he said in a deep voice: "Sure enough, it's a surprise attack. Brother Ruan, hurry back to the big tent. Don't panic, every battalion is already prepared."

Ruan Siqi nodded, clasped his fists and said: "Since that's the case, I will retire, Marshal, please return to the tent of the Chinese army as soon as possible." After saying that, he waited for Su Mingxi to leave in a hurry, and then he returned to his tent.

Capital Imperial Study Room

"What happened to the Brocade Competition? The Empress Dowager asked yesterday, saying that on the Empress Dowager's birthday this year, a cloth shop sent a very good brocade. What's the name of the cloth shop?" The emperor spoke to Zhen Yan in front of him, and said In the middle of the journey, he couldn't remember the name of Liujinbuzhuang, so he looked at Liao Le beside him.

Liao Le hurriedly stepped forward, and said with a smile: "I remember in a trance, it seems that Liu Jin came here. I heard that the Liu Jin Cloth Village is all supported by a girl, and the few pieces of brocade belonged to this girl." Handwriting."

Zhen Yan was also aware of this matter. Although the grievances between Ruan Yunsi and him were not serious that day, a thorn was planted in the heart of this guy who must revenge, not to mention that the woman had a very good relationship with Su Mingxi.If it wasn't for these layers, the matter of the Xishan hunting ground and the palace wouldn't have happened, but it was such a sure thing, but it fell short at the last minute, so Zhen Yan was so angry that his teeth itch.

Hearing Liao Le's words, he stepped forward and said with a smile: "Yes, I have also heard about Miss Ruan's reputation, and they all say that she is as skillful as a weaving girl. She was shocked by it that day, but who knows later? Supervising the brocade fighting meeting, I knew that this was not the case at all. The so-called brocade weaving was not done by one person. For high-end brocade such as paying tribute to the palace, at least three or five people, as many as a dozen people, jointly control the loom Only then can it be successful, so the folks' praise of Miss Ruan is a bit exaggerated."

Hearing what he said, the emperor also became excited, twitched his beard and smiled and said: "Ai Qing's words are wrong. As far as I know, although this brocade is a combination of several people's efforts, the most difficult part is the In terms of creation. If you look at Jiangnan weaving, there are only a dozen new patterns every year for so many years. Weaving patterns, even and fine, these are all brains, that day... Huh? Liao Le, when we went to Jinfang Township that day, did the girl from the Yunxi Weaving and Dyeing Factory... Surname Ruan?"

Liao Le smiled and said: "The emperor really has a good memory, but is this Miss Ruan the same girl Ruan from Liujinbu Village? I dare not speak nonsense." Before he finished speaking, the Emperor excitedly said: "It must be her, That’s right. Did you forget? The calico she showed us that day is not something that anyone can make. It is said that it has created a precedent for thousands of years. Only such talents can be seen by the people. Praise for Zhinu descending to earth."

Since the emperor has confirmed it, then it is true.What's more, who went to investigate on purpose?So Liao Le quickly echoed the emperor's opinion.Here, Zhen Yan's heart trembled, and he secretly thought that the emperor also knew that woman. I'm afraid it's all due to Su Mingxi, damn it.

Zhen Yan also investigated some things about the emperor's private visit to Jinfang Township's microservice that day, but because all the people accompanying him were the emperor's loyal bodyguards, he didn't know much about it.

Of course, he didn't take this matter very seriously. He only knew that the emperor's cancellation of the imperial decree to build the Xinggong Palace was because Su Mingxi took him around there. Knowing this, he thought it was enough, so I didn't check carefully, but I didn't expect to ignore this point.

Here, I reported to the emperor a few more things about the arrangement of the brocade fighting meeting. The emperor heard that everything was in order, and the fighting brocade meeting would be held on time in ten days. He couldn't help being very happy and praised him a few words. , Said that the prince asked to see.

The emperor hurriedly ordered to come in, and after a while, the noble and handsome prince stepped into the study, with a smile on his face, and as soon as he came in, he gave the royal ceremony, then stood up and said with a smile: "Congratulations to the father, congratulations to the father, the great victory in the Northwest, the lord of the Xixia Kingdom Begging for a truce, this is the military newspaper and the memorial of Marshal Su that was rushed over eight hundred li just now.”

"Oh? Submit it quickly."

The emperor was also very happy when he heard the words, and quickly sat up straight. He had a cold these days, so some important state affairs were handed over to the prince. Hearing such good news at this time, he couldn't help but feel refreshed, and felt sick all over his body. All followed. "

Zhen Yan also hurriedly said: "The emperor is overjoyed. The Western Xia army is coming fiercely, and the frontiers are in emergency one after another, but he didn't expect that when Marshal Su arrived, he would sweep away thousands of troops, resulting in today's great victory. I think that the emperor will reward the three armies immediately. More rewards are required. It’s just that the frontier defenders are suspected of negligence, and should be punished. In addition, the wolf ambitions of the Xixia Kingdom, who were arrogant and arrogant before, are now begging for surrender. The emperor should not trust such a villain. The marshal led our Great Wu to flatten Xixia with an iron hoof, to promote the prestige of our country, and from now on, Xixia will be included in our territory of Great Wu. The emperor has this merit of opening up the frontiers, and the ancestors of the ancestors are alive in the sky, and they will be happy with smiles .”

The emperor smiled and nodded lightly, suddenly seeing his son frowning slightly below, he turned to the prince and said with a smile: "What does the prince think of what Lord Zhen said?"

This is the first time in his life that the crown prince is supervising state affairs, but he is not afraid of tigers. Hearing this, he raised his head and said: "Going back to the emperor, my son thinks it is not appropriate."

"Oh? Talk about it."

The emperor became interested, Zhen Yan was so rudely slapped by the prince, but with a smile on his face, he cupped his hands and said, "Yes, please enlighten me, Your Highness."

After all, the prince was a little young and energetic, and he talked eloquently: "Xixia's raid on the frontier this time was overwhelming, but it was because of its sharpness, mental calculation and unintentional, that it won the initial victory. And Marshal Su led an army to the frontier to rescue , All the way to recover and break through the cities, and witness the horrors of those cities being looted, united and united against the enemy, coupled with Marshal Su's resourcefulness and martial arts are all the best choices, this is the only way to turn defeat into victory. At that time Xixia lost its vigor, food and grass were not as abundant as our army, Soldiers are tired of fighting and fearful, and only then will Marshal Su win successive victories. My son thinks that Marshal Su has meritorious service, but the frontier defenders may not have done so. At this time, Marshal Su must have a final conclusion in his mind, and he should refer to his opinion for specific rewards and punishments. It is."

The emperor nodded, looked at his son with a smile and encouraged him, "Go on."

Seeing his father smiling, the prince became more courageous, and he talked eloquently: "As for the destruction of Xixia, including it in our country's territory, at first glance, it sounds like an inexhaustible feat of opening up the territory. It is actually not the case. The people of Xixia are tough. Even if the country is destroyed, the people cannot be destroyed, let alone the people's desire to resist. If Xixia is destroyed, the people of Xixia will inevitably counterattack. One place cannot be used in two places, and one year cannot be used for two years. If you are not familiar with the place, if you fight against the hearts of the people, you will inevitably be controlled everywhere. Not only will you not be able to increase benefits, but it will increase disasters. Furthermore, our Great Wu has a vast land and abundant resources, and the people are rich, but Xixia is barren. How much food and grass, once a disaster comes, we will have to send food and grass to help them, otherwise it will be even more alienated. Now there is a lot of land in the territory of Wu, how can I have the spare energy to relocate the people to Xixia to live and farm? And the loss outweighs the gain. It is not the behavior of wise men to blindly expand the territory without considering their own strength."

The emperor laughed out loud, and said to Zhen Yan: "how? Although he still has some youthful spirit, but at his age, it is rare for him to think of this problem. Zhen Aiqing, you are more eager for quick success than the prince. "

Zhen Yan hurriedly bent down and said: "Yes, I was confused for a while, but the words of the prince were like enlightenment, which made me suddenly enlightened, I felt ashamed, and even more admired the prince."

　For the sake of the little grandpa finally showing up, violently and mercilessly flooded me with monthly tickets, woo woo
