After watching the Bingxi drill, they went back to the palace. When I went back, I saw three carriages parked at the side door of the palace, and the servants were carrying things out box by box. An Changqing asked someone, but it turned out that the caravan from the South had returned to Beijing and brought back a lot of food from the south. Zhou Helan specially asked someone to send it.

When an Changqing and his family came back, they had almost moved their cages. When they went in, there were more than ten wooden boxes piled up in the yard. Besides various kinds of cloth, there were also many Rouge powder and jewelry. What's left are some rare ancient books, excellent ink, paper and inkstones, as well as ingenious things.

Xiao Zhige said, "Zhou Helan has a heart."

An Changqing took a look and found that the boxes and cages had been marked for everyone. Naturally, the silks, satins and powder jewelry belonged to Yu's and an Xianyu's. Yu's cloth was more, and the headgear was of expensive and generous gold and jade styles. On the other hand, an Xianyu had more head and face, which were made of gems of various bright colors, as well as a lot of rouge powder. In addition, the box of ancient books is also for an Xianyu. An Changqing takes a look at the top title of the book and vaguely remembers that an Xianyu mentioned the title of the book. Then there are ink, ink, paper and inkstones and some wonderful things for an Changqing and the little prince and princess.

Indeed, an Changqing was slightly satisfied with his future brother-in-law and said, "take these boxes and cages to Shouan courtyard and Qingyi courtyard. It's said that he LAN sent them."

The servant was ordered to move the cage down.

Xiao Zhige said, "I heard that Zhou Helan took part in the local examination this time?"

"Well, he wants to take the imperial examination. I think being an official is more suitable for him than doing business. Now the emerald mine has turned to the surface, and there is no shortage of manpower. "

After Xiao Zhige ascended the throne, the jadeite ore that had been mined secretly was also transferred to the surface. Liangzhou often presided over the mining in Changchang, and then the supply was sent to each prefecture. 80% of the profits go to the state treasury. Zhou Helan will be trained before the hands are transferred to Chang in Chang, he will go back to Yejing test preparation.

Since the last reception, he had a cordial talk with an Changqing. A few days later, he found a house not far from the palace and moved out with Zhou's mother. After that, he concentrated on preparing for the exam. Although he seldom visited the palace, he walked around a lot. From time to time, he sent people to send some food to the palace.

Zhou Helan is a smart man. When he was selling raw jadeite stones in Nandi, he also managed a lot of contacts and set up many industries. Although he is not an official now, he has a rich family fortune.

Xiao Zhige also thought Zhou Helan was a talented person and nodded: "Ji Anmin told me a few days ago that the results of the local examination are coming out. Looking at the papers sent by the local examiners, there are some outstanding people. I can't say that this session of the examination will be more wonderful than in previous years. "

At the beginning of his accession to the throne, in order to attract talents, he ordered Enke to open. Ji Anmin was the main examiner. In October, the county examination was added. When the results of the rural examination come out, a joint examination will be held in the middle of February tomorrow.

An Changqing has great confidence in Zhou Helan: "it can't be said that there is Zhou Helan among those people."

Although Xiao Zhige thought that it was not impossible, he could not help but have some taste when he trusted Zhou Helan. He said in a low voice, "here, how can you be so sure? So believe him? "

An Changqing gave him a slanting look, and said with a smile: "of course I want to believe him. He is the son-in-law to be in favor of the yanwangfu."

“……” Xiao Zhige touched his nose and coughed softly: "Zhou Helan deserves Xian Yu. If he can really win the title, I will marry them myself. "

An Changqing laughs: "that Minister first generation Xian Yu thanks your majesty."

Xiao Zhige took his hand to the main courtyard, but he could not help but attach it to his ear and whispered: "your sister is my sister. Why do you have to talk about two families? If you really want to thank him, why don't you show some sincerity... "

His voice was almost a breath, and his warm breath hit his skin, causing a little shiver. They have been separated for several days and haven't been close for a long time. An Changqing had some ripples in his heart, but then he thought of Xiao Zhige's emptiness for several days. If he wanted to do so, he would be out of control. Then side face avoids his intimate action, the eye wind slants him a way: "since so, that then don't thank."

Xiao Zhige was not disappointed that he failed to get the benefit. And he went back to the house, after washing, he urged people to go to bed early.

The floor cage was burned in the room, and the bedclothes they were wearing were not thick. Xiao Zhige encircled an Changqing in his arms like a baby, and then clamped his legs and feet to make a place with him. His majesty had been sleeping alone for several days, and now he finally held the man in his arms and sighed.

An Changqing also feels very comfortable. A man is naturally fiery. In winter, he looks like a big stove, and his whole body is warm. Don't cover his cold hands and feet properly. He doesn't feel cool at all.

But both of them are young men. After a few days' absenteeism, they have the meaning of dry firewood and burning fire. At first, an Changqing thought that he would just sleep with his arms in his arms and never do anything else. But after Xiao Zhige had a few more entanglements, he could not help giving up his arms and going to Wushan with him

……

1、 Night cloud. Rain, the next day is still not bright will go to court, Xiao Zhige full of spring breeze, personally twisted hot PAZI to an Changqing wipe face. Looking at his fierce appearance, an Changqing couldn't help admiring him. He stretched out his foot from the bedding and kicked him: "why aren't you tired at all?"It was clear that Xiao Zhige had done more to do that, but Xiao Zhige looked as if he had nothing to do, and even more energetic. On the contrary, he is the one who makes little effort. His eyelids fight and his whole body is soreness. It's very irritating

he pinched an Changqing's wrist and said, "it's not as thick as my wrist, so I should practice more, or I won't be healthy when I get old."

"good." Xiao Zhige laughingly picked him up from the bed, dressed him, and went to court with him

so that morning, all the courtiers saw that the emperor's face was suddenly clear after several days of depression. Then they went to see the wild goose king in the front row, who was also ruddy and smiling. Then they put their hearts back into their stomachs. It seems that they are reconciled

after entering 29, the nearer the festival is, the more things will happen

therefore, Zhou's house, which had been left out in the cold, became lively for a while. It's just that Zhou Helan went to an appointment to have a drink as usual, but every matchmaker who came to the door refused without hesitation. As a result, many people say that he has no dust under his eyes, and that he has a West dung pedigree. But Zhou Helan only as a deaf ear, only specially sent to the palace to send a box of ancient books

"are you really in no hurry?" An Changqing promoted the narrow road

since she went to Yanzhou, an Xianyu has a lot of flexibility and is more mature in dealing with many things. Seeing that she was calm and calm between her eyes and eyebrows, an Changqing obviously didn't worry about it, so she was more relaxed. He touched her head and said, "I'm afraid you're not happy. I'll come here to help you."

...

a few days after the release of the list, it was March 9

it's only a few days before the new year's day. And the ice frolic, which has been practiced for a long time, will finally be officially on the stage<

on the 25th of December, Xiao Zhige led a hundred civil and military officials to climb the Lingxiao tower to enjoy the ice<

it was cold in March and September, and the river was covered with thick ice. More than 2000 soldiers, wearing gold clothes, holding array flags and skates, went to the ice in order. Among the plain colors, there is only a piece of gold, sometimes like a roc spreading its wings, sometimes like a lion fighting for the ball... The soldiers glide on the ice quickly, changing into various formations, and finally gather together to form a golden dragon. It flies from the southwest of the ice rink to the North. When passing the Lingxiao tower, the Golden Dragon changes to bow down, and more than 2000 soldiers shout: "Your Majesty, Qianqiu, Daye, Chang'anThe momentum is powerful, the sound spreads in all directions, and the aftersound reverberates ceaselessly, as if it is really like the roaring of a golden dragon.

Xiao Zhige stood up and raised his glass. Bow to the Golden Dragon on the sudden change of formation, after a circle, to take off from the northeast.

This year's ice skating is especially shocking due to the opening ice skates.

Dazhu Shentu Xu squinted, pointed to a soldier with a red flag in the distance, and said with a smile, "that's my son, the one who holds the flag in the dragon head. Do you see that?"

Xia Hou Shang, who was sitting beside him, said with a smile, "sure enough, the hero is a teenager. I heard that not long ago the emperor was still courting you? We are all old. When we were young, we used to be dragon heads

One of them asked for support from himself, and the other was Xiao Zhige's mentor. Now they sing a song and make it clear that they are comforting the emperor.

Xiao Zhige was young and vigorous. He came from the army and knew the advantages and disadvantages of the military system of Daye. It has long been said that the emperor wanted to take back military power. In the future, there will not be any six pillar States, and the twelve generals will be a thing of the past.

After the news came out, people in the army were floating. Imperial power and military power have always been irreconcilable contradictions. At that time, Tai. Zu was still able to hold down the six big Zhu States, but unfortunately, there were too few able-bodied descendants in later generations, and the six big Zhu states grew in strength and gradually threatened the imperial power.

In recent years, there are Zhao's scheming to rebel, and in distant places, there are Yongzhou garrison generals in Qingzhou who support their troops and respect their own interests.

No matter which one, the Emperor today can not tolerate. The conflict between the two sides is inevitable.

Shen Tu Bo has always been the golden mean. When Emperor anqing was still alive, he was loyal to the emperor and did not interfere with the matter of seizing the throne. Now Xiao Zhige succeeded to the throne, and took the initiative to return home, for fear of disaster. Now he is singing double reed with Xiahou merchants to buy people's hearts for the emperor.

Chu Anliang said with a smile: "although we are old, we can still serve your majesty."

Shi Le was sitting beside him and said with a smile, "if you want me to say, general Shentu is too cautious."

After the collapse of the Zhao family, there were only five of the six great Zhu states in the past. Xue was the adopted son of the Shu family. After the death of the Shu family, he was depressed and became ill. He was no longer useful. Now there are only four of them left. Shen Tu Bo and Xia Hou Shang were obviously on the side of the emperor, but Chu Anliang and Shi Le had their own ideas. No one wanted to let go of their rights easily.

In particular, Chu Anliang and Shi Lezheng had some unclear relations with the rebellious party Xiao Qiyou. At this time, they were particularly reluctant to compromise with the emperor. These days, the military seems calm, but in fact, people are surging. Most of the generals were afraid that Xiao Zhige would follow the example of the previous dynasty, and in order to regain military power, they would fight against these generals. Chu Anliang and shile are trying to get more allies, and they are contributing to it.

Shen Tu Bo saw their ambition clearly, shook his head and sighed: "this man, you still have to take care of your old age. Your majesty is prosperous in spring and autumn. In three years, the world will be different from before. We old guys have to be more conscious and make room for young people. "

He glanced over Chu Anliang and Shi Lezheng, looked at the other generals behind him, and continued: "Your Majesty was born in the army, and he is most considerate of us veteran generals. It's time for us to share our worries for your majesty. "

Xia Hou Shang stroked his beard and said, "that's exactly what it is."

What they said basically showed the public their attitude that your Majesty must take back the military power. If you take the initiative to hand over the power, your majesty will not treat you badly. It's hard to say what will happen to the generals who are unwilling to hand over power and want to support the army and respect themselves as usual.

As they spoke, they suddenly heard a loud noise in the field. Then they stopped talking and looked at the ice. They saw that Xiao Zhige was taking off his cloak and walking down the steps.

After walking the skates, it's the rush.

The so-called scramble is to put flags of different colors on one end of the ice rink to represent different levels. The soldiers who participated in the robbery were waiting at the other end. After the start, people race on the ice. Those who pull the flag first will be rewarded.

On the ice rink, there are golden dragon flag on one side, Red Lion Flag on three sides, blue elephant flag on five sides and black flag on ten sides.

Jinlong banner is the first class with a reward of twelve Liang; Hongshi banner is the second class with a reward of fifty Liang; Lanxiang banner is the third class with a reward of twenty Liang; black banner is the last class with a reward of five Liang.

This time, the reward is very rich, and all the soldiers have been waiting to go on the stage for a long time. When Xiao Zhige saw that an Changqing was interested in it, he became a little competitive. He wanted to compete in person and ask an Changqing to see his prestige.

Xiao Zhige used to be at the border all the year round, but he couldn't please emperor Anqing. He really didn't show his skills in such a scene. When the soldiers heard that he was going to end, they all cheered.

Take off the cloak that gets in the way and put on a black suit. Xiao Zhige went back to the building and whispered to an Changqing, "I don't like the rewards on the court. If I get the first class, I may ask the king of wild geese for other rewards?"

An Changqing sat down with him and said with a smile, "you are the emperor. Who dares to beat you?"

"I naturally want to ask them to do their best," Xiao Zhige said with a smile. "The wild goose king only said yes or no?"An Changqing looked at him with a smile and found that he didn't look like a wise and steady emperor, but rather like a young man eager to show himself. His mouth turned a little more.

"Yes, but you have to ask them to do their best."

Xiao Zhige's eyebrows were flying, and he said firmly, "here you are. Good life is watching. Even if they try their best, they can't rob me."
