The end of the world begins with the king

Chapter 606
Going west from Yong'anmen, you will arrive at the official office of the Privy Council.

This was originally the area of ​​the Zuo Chang Historian's Office. After it became the Privy Council, the left and right chief historians moved out together to make room for the Privy Council.

The three of Zhou Qing entered the gate of the Privy Council, only to see a busy scene of frequent internal officials.

After walking down the steps, a small official greeted him and asked, "Who are you looking for?"

Pang Guoxing replied: "The three of us are ordered by the prince to come here to wait for orders?"

After looking at the three people in front of him, the clerk asked, "Who are you?"

"Under the command of Xiayuan Shenwu Youwei, Zhou Qing..."

"Cai Yongkun, commander of Xiayuan Wuxiang's right guard..."

"Under the original Longteng right guard commander Pang Guoxing..."

The three registered their own names, which sounded coquettish, but there was a trace of contempt in the eyes of this little official.

This made the three of Zhou Qing extremely unhappy, even King Yong himself did not despise them, so he should despise people like himself.

"Just wait here, I will report to the adults..."

When the little official left, Zhou Qing said angrily, "You bastard!"

But the other two were calmer, only to hear Cai Yongkun say: "Not everyone has the same heart as the prince!"

Just this one sentence made Zhou Qing calm down a lot.

People like myself brought war to Longyou, but they were easily defeated by others, and it was normal for them to be scornful.

Just as the three of them comforted themselves, they saw a person walking out of the lobby in front, it was Guan Hetai, the right envoy of the Privy Council.

After walking down the steps, Guan Hetai said, "You three, you're here!"

I saw the little official who followed him introduce: "This is Mr. Guan, the right envoy of the Privy Council!"

"I've met Master Guan!"

After slightly nodding, Guan Hetai said in a deep voice: "Your Highness said... you are from a noble family, and you have passed down the art of war to your family, so I want you to give lectures in the martial arts hall!"

Zhao Yanxun established a martial arts lecture hall, Zhou Qing and the three knew about it, it was equivalent to the Imperial Academy for martial arts.

But they never expected the three of them to teach. After all, they were "sinners" who had just surrendered.

Ignoring the strangeness of Zhou Qing and the others, Guan Hetai went on to say: "These selected officers are only at the level of one hundred households in the general banner, but these wild and unruly masters can't be subdued if they don't have real skills!"

Guan Hetai is reminding Zhou Qing and the others that they must not have the idea of ​​hiding their personal interests, otherwise they will only embarrass themselves.

Of course, the converse of this means that if you have real skills, you can get along like a fish in water.

"Do you three understand?" Guan Hetai said with a smile.

Pang Guoxing stepped forward and said, "Thank you, Mr. Guan, for your guidance!"

…………

Forbidden palace in the palace, in the side hall of Yongfu Palace.

Xue Baojun was sitting in front of the desk, with various receipts placed in front of her, and there was a small table on the left and right, and two maids were fiddling with the abacus.

"I'm telling you, 450 three plus 320 six, the total grain is 770 nine stones!"

Hearing this, Xue Baojun wrote numbers on the paper in front of him.

At this moment, one of the maids stood up and said, "Your Majesty, it's all over!"

Xue Baojun put down his pen, rubbed his shoulders, and said, "It's finally over!"

Yuzhu just came in from outside with tea, and she said: "Your Majesty, you have worked hard, let's have some tea!"

On the note in front of Xue Baoyun, the amount of all the items has been listed, which are all used for her condolences and rewards on the fifth day of the lunar new year.

Things are extremely complicated. First, the number of rewardees must be calculated, and then the various rewards have to be calculated separately for different types, and then the numbers are summed up one by one.

After taking the teacup, Xue Baoyun smiled slightly and said, "I have been busy all morning before I figured out all the expenses. This palace deserves the credit... It's not too much to ask for a record of honor from the prince, right?"

Yu Zhu said with a smile: "Of course it's not too much, why not... this servant will tell the prince what the empress wants?"

Xue Baojun shook his head slightly, and said: "Forget it, don't show your eyes to the prince for such a hard work, who made me wear a phoenix crown on my head!"

Yu Zhu rummaged through the box beside her, and said at the same time: "My lord is revered as a sacred figure by the world, my lord, you must work hard to be the wife of a saint!"

In fact, Yuzhu's words can be said to suit her preferences, and Xue Baoyun is most concerned about her status as a wife.

Xue Baoyun smiled implicitly, revealing her feelings.

At this time, Yuzhu had already taken out a small box, put it on Xue Baoyun's table and opened it, inside was a phoenix seal made of pure gold.

"Your Majesty... Please use the seal!" Yu Zhu handed out the seal.

As long as the seal of the princess is stamped on the paper, it can be picked up by the warehouse manager.

As a result, Xue Baoyun was about to put the seal on, but she hesitated for a while and put it back.

While Yuzhu was wondering, she only heard Xue Baoyun say: "Don't worry, let's wait until the prince has seen it!"

Yuzhu nodded and didn't say anything more.

Just at this time, I heard a maid outside reporting: "I'm telling you, my lord, the prince is here!"

Xue Baoyun got up immediately, and said to Yuzhu at the same time: "Bring the list!"

"Yes!"

In the courtyard of Yongfu Palace, Zhao Yanxun stood in front of a plum blossom tree, with Hou Shiyun and Zhou Lanzhi on the left and right.

Xue Baoyun was settling accounts in the palace, while Hou Shiyun and the two were enjoying the snow outside, and happened to "stop" Zhao Yanxun first.

"Appreciate the snow? This snow is nothing to see!" Zhao Yanxun said with a smile.

Zhou Lanzhi then asked: "Your lord, do you think... the snow there is beautiful?"

Zhao Yanxun said with his hands behind his back: "Thousands of miles of ice, thousands of miles of snow... Such a snow scene is good, and you can't see it in the palace or in the city!"

At this time, Hou Shiyun said: "The prince has a broad mind, so naturally he can see the snow drifting thousands of miles away, courtiers and concubines and other wives... just looking at the snow in the palace is enough, how dare you compare it with the prince!"

Hearing this, Zhao Yanxun felt nothing, but Zhou Lanzhi, who was at the side, was surprised. She didn't expect Hou Shiyun to be so good at flattering.

Zhou Lanzhi originally thought that Hou Shiyun would only flatter the princess and treat her like a real person.

Of course, such flattery sounds very comfortable, especially with Hou Shiyun's admiring gaze, so that Zhao Yanxun laughed out loud.

At this time, Xue Baoyun's voice came from the direction of the main hall: "What's so happy about it? Telling it makes my concubine happy too!"

"I've seen my lady!"

Hou Shiyun and the two saluted Xue Baojun, but the latter didn't see them at all, and walked towards Zhao Yanxun.

"The concubine pays respects to the prince!"

Seeing that Xue Baoyun was going to make a big gift, Zhao Yanxun hurriedly stepped forward to help him up and said, "Why is my concubine such a big gift!"

Xue Baojun said: "The prince won't come for a few days, and the concubine is afraid that he has neglected the prince, so how dare you not be careful!"

This was a joke, but I could hear the resentment in it, so Zhao Yanxun comforted me: "Aifei... Gu is here!"

After the joke was over, Xue Baoyun got down to business.

"My lord, the concubines have already listed the list of sympathy and rewards, and the seal can be used after the lord has seen it!"

After saying this, Xue Baojun flirted with Yu Zhu behind him.

Yuzhu hooked her waist and hurried forward, held up the paper in her hand and said: "Please have a look, my lord!"

After receiving the paper, Zhao Yanxun was looking at it, only to hear Hou Shiyun say: "My lord...the lady has been busy with this matter these days, and today she locked herself in the dormitory and worked all morning, and my concubine felt distressed looking at it." Woolen cloth!"

Xue Baojun turned around, looked at Hou Shijun feigned anger and said, "You're the only one who talks too much!"

Hou Shiyun took the initiative to step forward, holding Xue Baoyun's sleeve and said: "Isn't the concubine complaining about your empress!"

This scene made Zhou Lanzhi even more awkward, she couldn't say these words.

This actually shows that Zhou Lanzhi, who is facing the end times in Liushanyi, is more independent and stronger than Hou Shiyun, so she doesn't want to curry favor with others.

Passing the note to Yuzhu who was at the side, Zhao Yanxun said: "My concubine has worked really hard, so let's do it this way!"

"The concubine obeys!"

Xue Baoyun bowed and saluted very formally, causing Zhao Yanxun to laugh and shake his head.

"Go... go in and have a look at Hong'er, I haven't seen him for a few days, and I don't know if he still recognizes me as a father!"
