    Chapter Index

    The heavy snow urged dawn, and at the eleventh hour, the eunuchs in the inner court began to move around.The maids of Qinghui Palace were waiting under the eaves of the palace, waiting for the summons from the palace.

    Emperor Chun Sheng rarely asked for help at night, and the inner hall was a restricted area with the curtains down.This supreme king of Dajing became increasingly unpredictable after he ascended the throne. Sometimes he would fall asleep while listening to government affairs.But even with his eyes closed, he is the absolute authority on the throne, and no decision can escape his sense of smell.For the new courtiers who came to the court to participate in politics, they dared to breathe only when Emperor Chunsheng closed his eyes and fell asleep.

    The new little Gong’e was extremely nervous, and her hand holding the copper basin kept shaking.She had heard rumors about Chun Sheng Emperor Shen Zechuan. The most vicious thing about the emperor was not his appearance, but the alpha wolf behind him who was always entrenched in Li Bei.

    “Second Master doesn’t like people making noise,” Mammy whispered, “The door will open in a moment. Be quick with your hands and feet and be gentle with your movements.”

    The little palace lady nodded and responded softly.

    The glazed tiles in the courtyard were covered with snow, and the plum branches leaned against the window, looking very abrupt.It is said that the second master built it himself, and the emperor admired it every day, so even if it blocked the road, no one dared to object.

    Seeing that the lanterns were picked up everywhere, the little palace lady’s palms were sweating. Just when she was feeling anxious, she suddenly heard the sound of “tacking” footsteps on the eaves, and then snowflakes flew down and sprinkled all the palace guests passing by.

    The girls all said “Ouch” and started to get angry.Several young eunuchs raised their heads and shouted softly: “Grandpa Taozi, the emperor and the second master are not awake yet!”

    Ding Tao’s robe flew up and landed steadily on the snow.With a small book under his arm, he passed by Xiao Gong’e and picked up her badge.The little palace lady said “Ah” and almost lost her balance in holding the copper basin. When she saw Ding Tao clearly, she immediately blushed with embarrassment.

    Ding Tao walked backwards while holding her waistband in his hand and looking at it.He said: “Xinrui…oh, the new sister?” He looked closer and read the words, “She is so young, so she is the new sister.”

    Mammy stomped her feet lightly and shouted softly: “Tao’er, stop making trouble, return it to my girl quickly!”

    “Let’s take a look,” Ding Tao grinned at the little Gong’e and said generously, “I’ll give you my badge too – eh?”

    Ding Tao’s hand that touched her waist fell empty, his expression changed slightly, and before he could turn around, there was a bang on the back of his head.

    Gujin blocked J Tao’s back like a wall, took he’s belt card between his two fingers, knocked J Tao’s turned head, and lectured: “Give it back to others.”

    Ding Tao was beaten until he became honest, he grinned and returned the badge, and wanted to say something to Gujin, but before he could say anything, Gujin made a show of continuing to hit him, which scared him so much that he leaned over to dodge.

    “Don’t hit Brother Lajin,” Ding Tao said very cleverly, “I’m here to honor you!”

    “Good son,” Gu Jin turned over Ding Tao’s waist card, “Did you go out to fight with the Crown Prince again?”

    Ding Tao’s eyes wandered guiltily, and she said, “No, Mr. Cheng Feng wants the prince to endorse, and the prince dare not go out.”

    Gu Jin raised Ding Tao’s waist tag and ran his thumb along the scratches on the inside of the waist tag, his face expressionless.

    Ding Tao was sweating on her back. She was afraid of causing trouble for Xiao Xun, so she could only hold on and said: “I did it accidentally.”

    “You haven’t grown up yet, but you’ve lost your courage.” The door on the side suddenly opened, and Xiao Chiye was wearing a broad robe and was touching the back of his neck.When he was woken up, he looked a little impatient and said, “Bury him on the spot.”

    Gujin lifted Ding Tao’s collar, but Ding Tao did not dare to struggle. He could only stretch his neck and shout inward: “Master!”

    Xiao Chiye raised his finger, and Ding Tao immediately stopped talking.Ding Tao puffed out her cheeks, her neck was filled with snow by Gujin, and she was jumping in the courtyard with the cold.

    Auntie stepped forward, but Xiao Chiye didn’t give in.There are teeth marks on the slightly tilted neck, but the redness has not faded away. He only covers it casually with his fingers, not caring about others seeing it.

    The Wolf King was so tall that little Gong’e didn’t dare to look up. She was trembling all over in Xiao Chiye’s shadow and her teeth were chattering.

    Legend has it that the Libei Wolf King could strangle several strong men on the border with his bare hands, and could run for dozens of miles at night without showing signs of fatigue.Gong E used to think that legends were all bluffing, but Xiao Chiye was too tall. Gong E had the courage to peek at Xiao Chiye’s chest.

    Strong!wide!

    If you throw out this punch, you will lose half your life even if you don’t die.

    Xiao Chiye saw that it was still snowing in the courtyard and the sky was foggy, so he said to his mother, “Wait a few more minutes and knock on the door.”

    The curtains block out the light, and the charcoal basin provided inside still has residual heat.Shen Zechuan lay on the pillow, sweating and the bedding was in a mess.He squinted his eyes and heard the conversation outside. He stretched out his fingers and pushed the pillow onto the bed as if he was losing his temper.

    “Call Fei Sheng,” Shen Zechuan closed his eyes and said hoarsely, “I’ll see him in an hour.”

    He’s neck is even more pitiful than Xiao Chiye’s, and there are circles of tooth marks on the back of his neck.Because it was too hot, the quilt was only half draped, and the exposed waist was red, and there were teeth marks further down.

    Xiao Chiye wanted to bite him and suck him, so that the pain he felt turned into an ambiguous gasp.

    In winter, when the days are short and the nights are long, Lan Zhou can melt into Xiao Chiye’s arms with a mouthful of cold wine.He was so afraid of the cold, and he fell deeply into Xiao Chiye’s arms when the body fluids were intertwined, as if he was avoiding the cold, and the temptations he exposed were all innocent.

    Xiao Chiye leaned over and gently pinched Shen Zechuan’s earlobe.He’s robe is so big that it can easily cover Shen Zechuan.

    There was still sweat on Shen Zechuan’s neck, and there was a tingling feeling as it passed through the tooth marks.He stretched out his fingers, along the back of Xiao Chiye’s hand, and covered Xiao Chiye’s wrist.

    “The tide,” Shen Zechuan glanced at Xiao Chiye with affectionate eyes, he slowly lengthened his voice, “it’s flowing out.”

    There was still a tremor in the voice, like Shen Zechuan’s fingertips, gently sliding on Xiao Chiye’s chest, whispering to him seriously.

    Xiao Chiye held Shen Zechuan’s hand in his hand, and while chuckling happily, he used the tip of his nose to dangerously inspect Shen Zechuan’s neck, and finally said, “Yeah – it smells like me.”

    Fei Sheng returned to the capital to resume his duties and arrived early in the morning.At Mao o’clock, the palace door was opened and he went to the side hall of Qinghui Palace to wait for the summons.At three o’clock in the morning, Gujin came to call for help.

    The snow hadn’t stopped yet. When Fei Sheng went out, he touched the button of his collar again and asked Gujin in a low voice: “Does it look okay?

    Gujin glanced at Fei Sheng’s boots and said, “We will also sell a batch of these boots to Libei after the Chinese New Year. Chenyang said they won’t freeze our feet.”

    “These are Fanzhou’s boots, you have to ask Huo Lingyun.When Fei Sheng said this, he wanted to sell Gujin a favor, so he raised his hand and patted Gujin on the shoulder, “That’s all, you ask him. He won’t reply until hundreds of years later. I’ll send a message for you, and I’ll make sure it’s arranged for the brothers.””

    Gujin knew Fei Sheng’s temperament and said, “What goods is Duanzhou short of?You are a wealthy and precious land, but we in the poor and remote areas may not be able to afford the price.”

    “Look at you, you’re so boring. You talk about money all the time. You’re a loser.Fei Sheng took back his hand and made an estimate, “Let’s talk to us about the price of the war horses at Luoshan Racecourse next year.””

    Gu Jin sighed, lifted the curtain, and motioned for Fei Sheng to enter.Fei Sheng winked at Gu Jin and hinted that he should not forget this matter soon.

    Fei Sheng stepped in, lifted up his official robe, knelt down neatly, and said loudly: “Your Majesty, Fei Sheng, see the Emperor!”

    “The posture is very good,” Xiao Chiye crossed his legs, held the book of stories to read, and said casually, “You shouted so loudly that your master almost choked on the medicine.””

    Fei Sheng lowered his voice and said quickly: “Greetings to the second master!’

    Shen Zechuan drank half of the medicine and said, “Get up and sit down.”

    Fei Sheng thanked him, stood up and sat down.

    “It’s snowy in Zhongbo this year. I inspected it a few days ago and found that only Fan and Deng prefectures had houses collapsed.” Shen Zechuan put down the medicine bowl, “You informed the other five prefectures in advance to reinforce the houses. Why didn’t you report this?”

    It snows every year and people are likely to die. The construction of private houses is not subject to the review of the yamen. Especially for poor people, a thatched house is considered a family house. This kind of house cannot withstand heavy snow and strong winds.

    Fei Sheng’s heart was filled with joy, but he still believed that Yu Xiaozai was on the right path.He reported this matter himself, which was called asking for credit, and the effect would be halved. He had to let someone like Yu Xiaozai, who held an important position in patrolling, do it. Asking for credit without leaving any trace would have the best effect.

    Fei Sheng looked serious and said: “I was running errands for my master in Duanzhou, so naturally I had to think about my master and the people. With the rise of the six prefectures, there are problems with government offices and official residences, let alone the people’s residences? This is what my master taught me in the past at Zhongbo, to…”

    He is accustomed to talking and keeps silent about his own achievements, only saying that Shen Zechuan taught him well.

    At the door of Gujinchu, I looked at Ding Tao who was still digging out some candy, feeling a little bit annoyed that iron could not become steel.

    Look, they are all from the Imperial Guards, so Fei Lao Shi is very comfortable in the officialdom.

    Zhongbo is a mixed place. When Shen Zechuan was the leader, the situation here was much more complicated than in Libei.The scheming game between Luo Mu and Shen Zechuan was on the surface to rectify the Taiwan Tigers, but in fact it was a conflict between the local faction of Zhongbo and the transfer faction of Qudu. To put it simply, it was a struggle between regional factions.

    Shen Zechuan initially wanted to return Fei Sheng to Duanzhou. There were objections from the DPRK and the Central Government, but Shen Zechuan did not respond at all.At that time, Shen Zechuan, the capital minister, wanted to reuse his close relatives and direct descendants, but Fei Sheng was just unlucky and jumped from a guard to an important military and political minister in Duanzhou.

    However, things are not that simple.

    Fei Sheng was born in the Fei family of Tuncheng. Although he was a concubine in a side house, he was still considered a capital official. He had served as a member of the Imperial Guard in his early years.In the eyes of the local officials of Zhongbo, he is not much different from the surrendered imperial officials like Wang Xian and Yu Xiaozai. Some people are bound to be dissatisfied if he is allowed to land in Duanzhou. However, Fei Sheng is also special here. He is also the adopted son of Yin Chang and the person who wears Yin Chang’s “Slaying Shura”. Just based on Yin Chang’s name, he can be regarded as one of Zhongbo’s own.

    Shen Zechuan placed Fei Sheng in Duanzhou to provide a bridge between the governor and Zhongbo.he handed over the responsibility of inspection to Yu Xiaozai, handed over the economics of Zhongbo to Wang Xian, continued to let Tantai Hu stay in Dunzhou, but handed over Deng and Fanzhou to Huo Lingyun. Take a look at Zhongbo’s complex structure one by one. These characters all come from different backgrounds. It is too difficult to build a network that is as geographically restricted as Juexi and Qudu. It belongs entirely to Shen Zechuan.Fei Sheng was Shen Zechuan’s eyes. When Shen Zechuan left Zhongbo and occupied the throne, he still allowed Shen Zechuan to control the overall situation of Zhongbo with one hand.

    “…Tiger’s military affairs have not been completed, and he will not be able to leave for a few days,” Fei Sheng said and looked at Xiao Chiye, “Mrs. He gave birth to twins safely last month. ”

    “Good thing,” Xiao Chiye put his script on his lap, thought for a while, and said to Shen Zechuan, “He has done a good job in suppressing bandits in Dunzhou in the past few years, so he should be rewarded.”

    “There has never been a suitable opportunity,” Shen Zechuan tapped his folding fan lightly, which was an action of thinking, and he said, “This year, I asked someone to draft a title and ban his eldest brother Tantai Long.”

    These words may seem calm, but in reality there is a turbulent undercurrent.

    There are now three kings with different surnames in Dajing. Qi Zhuyin is in Qidong, Xiao Jiming is guarding Libei, and Xiao Chiye is in command of Qudu.The Qidong garrison and the Libei cavalry became the iron lock between the north and the south of Dajing, keeping a close eye on the twelve Biansha tribes east of the Chashi River that had been dispersed by Xiao Chiye.With the reconstruction of temples and the rise of various places, the Zhongbo garrison without a coach will inevitably be slightly inferior.

    The title ban is not the point, the point is the military power in the east of Dajing.Xiao Xun is now raised in the palace. Although he is still called “Crown Prince”, he is actually taught as “Prince”. Once he ascends the throne, Li Bei will undoubtedly be the biggest winner. For Qi Zhuyin, who is responsible for 300,000 soldiers and horses, this is a threat that is about to be suppressed.She may not care, but the five counties of Qidong may not care. If Xiao Xun wants to reduce his troops, Qi Zhuyin will bear the brunt.

    If there is no war, it is inevitable that troops and horses in various places will be appropriately reduced. Local military camps must also reduce the pressure on civilian land, otherwise the young and strong soldiers from the conscripts will be borne by the common people.The troops and horses in the east can be reduced, but in a suitable way. Before that, the north and the south must maintain a delicate balance. Zhongbo is the latch to prevent one side from losing weight.

    Fei Sheng knew that Shen Zechuan was busy with government affairs all year round, so he stopped mentioning it at this moment and only picked up interesting things he saw on the road.He stayed until noon and accompanied Shen Zechuan and Xiao Chiye to dinner before leaving.

    The snow stopped in the middle of the night, soaring among the heavy clouds and suddenly landed on the top of the city gate, staring ahead.The young gatekeeper clapped his hands, hearing the thundering sound of horse hooves, and his heart surged.

    “Congratulations to King Libei——!” The people from the city shouted loudly.

    The clouds covered the moon, and a strong wind blew in the sky.Yu, who was flying fast in the darkness, suddenly jumped out and passed by like a provocation.Meng ignored it and tilted his head to watch the wolf flag rolling in the air.

    However, before the Northern Iron Cavalry could even get closer, the Qingqi from the other side had already arrived in the snow, their red cloaks rustling in the air, and the white armor of the Qidong garrison looked like the silver scales of a rolling dragon.

    The young gatekeeper was so excited that his neck turned red, and he shouted: “Dongli… King Lie has also returned to the capital!”

    Qi Zhuyin took the lead, wearing no armor and a little rouge. When he reined in his horse, he greeted Xiao Jiming beside him: “Hey.”

    Xiao Jiming, who was wearing a cloak, looked at her for a moment, then turned back to Lu Yizhi in the carriage and said, “She is wearing rouge.”

    “Grow up,” Lu Yizhi showed his face. From a distance, he couldn’t tell which shop the rouge on Qi Zhuyin’s lips came from, “This color is so beautiful!”

    Qi Zhuyin leaned forward slightly and said proudly to Lu Yizhi: “Self-adjusted, isn’t it beautiful?””

    Lu Yizhi looked at it for a moment, clapped her hands gently, and said cheerfully: “Madam Jue!”Let’s build a shop, I want it all.You can’t make it, let me tell the madam!”

    Qi Wei followed behind and saw Qi Zhuyin defeated, so he quietly moved away from his horse.

    It’s useless for the commander to go to this situation, and he has to rely on the eldest lady to get it back.

    The car curtain moved slightly, and Hua Xiangyi’s bright face was revealed. The pearl beside her ear slipped into the snow-white fluff of the wind collar, but her eyes stole the dazzling limelight.

    “Happy New Year, Princess,” Hua Xiangyi’s makeup was exquisite, and the rouge on her lips was indeed the same as Qi Zhuyin’s. She smiled slightly, “Ayin prepared this rouge before she left. I will deliver it to my house in person later.”

    “You didn’t remember this at all, did you?”Lu Guangbai, who had been silent all this time, quietly asked Qi Zhuyin.

    Xiao Jiming said: “The Rouge she can recognize is not as good as Anedo.”

    Qi Zhuyin was in the middle, raised Zhujiu, and said with great seriousness: “Don’t take the opportunity to praise your brother, he knows nothing – where are you from?”

    Lu Guangbai saw Lu Yizhi and Hua Xiangyi wearing both handkerchiefs and rouge, so he reined in his horse and took a few steps back, and said to the two people around him, “I’m standing still.””

    Qi Zhuyin said: “Standing?”

    Xiao Jiming said: “It’s made of wood.”

    Qi Zhuyin continued: “At such an age.’

    Xiao Jiming sighed softly: “We haven’t gotten married yet.”

    After saying that, without waiting for Lu Guangbai’s reply, they all turned their horses and walked towards the city.Lu Guangbai said “Huh”, the left side was empty and there was no one on the right side.He clutched the riding whip, feeling aggrieved, and drove the horse to catch up, saying: “I haven’t met a suitable girl, why don’t you show me? Those who study literature or fight…
