I handed in the sand sculpture through the book system

Generally speaking, Bei Yan's evaluation of the Manchao Gongqing is quite accurate.Although the important ministers are perfunctory and procrastinate in state affairs, once the vital interests are involved—especially the incomparable vital interests such as the longevity medicine, the efficiency of the courtiers can instantly take off, so efficient that it makes modern people dumbfounded the point.On the morning of that day, many spies showed their magical powers to send out the news. At noon that day, there was a constant stream of horses and horses in the city, and all the major families called their disciples and relatives for a secret discussion.At three o'clock in the morning, a fast horse galloped out from the capital province, and ran straight to the corner gate of the palace city, and brought up a box wrapped in vermilion and brocade.

At a quarter of an hour, the palace gate has been keyed, and all memorials and letters cannot be sent in, but can only be sent to the value room to be processed tomorrow.But when King Qi came to power, he needed to be diligent in setting up the government, so he specially gave Du Sheng a key to the corner gate of Miyagi, so as to show that he would not slack off even if he worked day and night.However, there is a tacit understanding between the capital province and Ouchi, knowing that the key is mostly just a symbolic meaning, it is naturally impossible to actively urge the emperor to 996.So now seeing the fast horse coming straight towards the corner gate, the official of Prince Qi's mansion on duty was alerted, thinking that there was some urgent government affairs during the night, so he quickly took the box and went inside to report.

King Qi did some exercise after eating (this is the strange health-preserving technique he learned from the woman surnamed Zhang earlier), and now he has finished grooming and is ready to rest. When he heard the news, he immediately lifted the quilt and got up, took the box and pulled it off. Set, shake out two sheets of white cotton paper.He flipped through the memorandum and glanced up and down, and his stern and upright face was distorted for a moment—it turned out that the official document sent in by the important ministers of the capital province did not hesitate to use the power of emergency memorandum, but it was just a rumor about Beijing and China. Daily report!Ridiculous, as far as this goes!

But looking down two more lines, King Qi's face stretched even longer—obviously, the adults in the province are by no means rash, impetuous and ignorant idiots, and they sent such a memorandum at dusk, and the text has naturally been done It must be watertight.At the beginning of the official document, it quoted the instructions of the king of Qi on inspecting rumors when he came to the Zhengshitang a few days ago, claiming that he dared to resign from his labors to relieve the emperor's worries. The result is so...

Under the vague hints of official documents, King Qi successfully recalled the previous speech in the Political Affairs Hall.At that time, in order to intimidate the officials, he probably, it seemed, did say that as long as he traced the clues of the rumor, he must report it immediately without any delay...

——So King Qi's face became extremely ugly.

Of course, no matter how ingenious and complete the wording of the official document is, there is still a great risk for the courtiers to play this method in front of the emperor.So King Qi's face turned colorful, and he turned the table directly to the end.Such things as imperial power are born unreasonable. If the minister dares to play with such tricks, the big deal is that he will throw away a little bit of unnecessary face, and he will definitely be able to customize a pair of small shoes that are just right for everyone on the list. .

But at the end of the memorandum, besides "Chen Mei dies and worships again", there are seven or eight names of the countersignatures, and he just glanced up at random, and he saw Kaifu Yitong Sansi who said at least two digits , as a gift to Xiangguo, as a gift to Lu Shangshu, and even to the Sangongs, Zaizhi, and generals who have served for at least [-] years.

So King Qi silently closed the memorial... After all, although imperial power is unreasonable, it always knows the benefits.

He sat cross-legged on the couch, held the watch and meditated silently for a moment, then suddenly turned over and lay down on the couch, raised his hand and summoned his close confidants, and ordered categorically:

"Prepare the chariot and horse for me, I want to leave the city immediately!"

The confidant was taken aback, and said in a trembling voice: "There is already a curfew in the city, and the city gates have been closed long ago..."

King Qi threw away the performance table, reached out to grab a vermilion pen, and scribbled a few lines on a piece of silk, then raised his hand and threw it into the arms of his cronies:

"Then send my order to immediately change the defense and open the city gate without delay!"

The confidant hurriedly held the silk silk, but thousands of wild horses roared past in his heart - as a follower of the Prince of Qi, he was naturally quite familiar with political affairs, and it was precisely because of this that he felt so absurd from the bottom of his heart.Not to mention the frenzy that mobilizing the city gate guards late at night will cause in the court, even if you go on patrol at will after the curfew, safety is extremely difficult to guarantee... In the history books of the court, those who patrol at night are the standard configuration of the subjugated king, my lord !

Thinking of this, the confidant bowed his knees and bowed down, and had to risk his life to present a memorial to show his loyalty:

"Your Majesty, the night dew in the city is heavy and the yin is fierce, which is really not conducive to the Eucharist. Besides, the son of a daughter can't sit in the hall. Your Majesty is the hope of the world. Why do you have to take the white dragon fish suit and risk yourself..."

King Qi raised his hand to signal the maid to change his clothes. He nodded slightly when he heard this, but his expression did not change.

"I understand your intentions, but you have to go now." He whispered: "If you have any doubts, send more soldiers to guard the city gate. As for the capital province...you choose dozens of them yourself The smart and capable guards are going to guard, and all the adults in the Political Affairs Hall are asked to wait for the news."

The confidant blinked blankly: From his experience, he naturally knew that the purpose of sending people to the Zhengshitang was to keep an eye on the important ministers in the court, lest someone take advantage of the loosening of the defense to plot... But the problem is that it is already 007:[-], Your Majesty !The average age of the important ministers on duty at the Zhengshitang is at least fifty, will they obediently wait and accompany you to engage in [-]?Now there are only a few fifth- and sixth-rank Sheren looking after the house in the Zhengshitang, right?

King Qi smiled slightly, and raised his hand to signal the maid to tidy up the scattered performances.

"Don't worry." He said lightly, "You'll know when you go to the capital... Today's Zhengshitang may be extraordinarily lively."

·

In the dead of night, the city is full of treacherous turmoil.King Qi specially ordered the most elite guards, and rode out of the city in formation.After walking for two or three miles in the dark, he saw that the lights in front of him were as bright as day, but it was the other courtyard that was coveted by everyone in the city for the past few days.

King Qi frowned slightly on the horse, thinking that he should stop talking about Wu's affairs for three minutes now, and this group of people stay up late at night, maybe they have received some news?He got off his horse and beckoned his cronies to report.After a while, the cronies left and returned, but the expression on their faces was extremely strange:

"...Master Bingsheng." He whispered, "The yard in front is a bit messy. The guard at the gate sent a message, saying that you can just go in."

King Qi frowned more and more.There are too many weird movements in the Hengyang Palace, and now he is so numb that it is almost normal.However, every weird action involves his ally, and it is exhausting to think about it... He reached out and rubbed his forehead, slowly took a few mouthfuls of the cold night air, finally got off his horse, and led the guards in big strides Run to the gate of the other courtyard.

Dozens of guards stood guard on the third floor inside the gate and the third floor outside. The towering walls were also densely pierced with sharp iron thorns like swords, and the night became more and more cold.Over the past few days, the spies inside and outside the other courtyard have exchanged messages, as comfortable as going in and out of their own toilet.Even in order to show their importance to the Longevity Medicine, Mu Chen and the others had no choice but to strengthen their defenses. Otherwise, they could come and go so freely, and the spies who stole the information would have doubts... But King Qi just glanced up, but his heart was full of doubts. He couldn't help but snorted again and again, and subconsciously despised the innocence and ignorance of the Hengyang Prince's Mansion: the spikes inserted on the wall were shiny and shiny, which clearly showed that they were forged with high-quality steel.But in today's world, the best steel is almost equivalent to gold, so this is equivalent to inserting gold utensils all over the wall to defend against the enemy... That is to say, the ministers in Beijing are still talking about face, and the patrols in this area can be regarded as strict Otherwise, the soil can be dug down three layers.

...But this is unexpectedly in line with the usual style of the Hengyang Palace's extravagance and ignorance of the sufferings of the world.

King Qi sighed, raised his feet and stepped into the gate, then immediately widened his eyes, and almost took a breath—it turned out that the flat ground in the courtyard was full of brilliant and dazzling utensils of various colors, which was dazzling at first glance. The jewels and jewels actually suppressed the burning candles all around!

Of course, even if the Hengyang Palace was extravagant and paved the ground with gold and jade, it would only shake King Qi a little bit.But when he raised his eyes to take a closer look under the firelight, he saw that many of the tripod pots, Shanlian, etc. on the ground were very familiar, and they were surprisingly treasured ritual vessels by the royal family of the Northern Dynasties!

So King Qi's face turned green immediately.

Originally, taking down the imperial city without bloodshed was considered a joyous event, but for the sake of rewarding the merits, it is not a big deal for everyone to take some secret treasures of the palace.But this is an unspoken unspoken rule after all. At most, everyone can only steal one or two inconspicuous treasures. Even if they have the guts of a bear, no one dares to covet the sacrificial artifacts!The so-called great affairs of the country are only worshiping and Rong. In the past, the emperor of Zhou had Jiuding and the king of Chu asked about it. His intention was not in Jiuding but in the world of Zhou.The importance of the king of Chu's aspirations for the throne is already treason, but now he just takes the emperor's ritual vessel as his own, so what is it?Declare in person that you want to compete in the Central Plains!

So King Qi took a deep breath, only to feel a buzzing pain in his head - of course, it may be that the cold wind sucked a little too much...

However, his face changed drastically several times, and he finally calmed down.Although Ni Lin was shocked by being touched, King Qi was not very angry after thinking about it for a while.To put it bluntly, these allies of his usually make countless operations that make the five internally rift, and now it seems... not so outrageous to take the ritual weapon inexplicably.

Probably because he has been tortured by resentment for a long time, King Qi's thoughts are particularly clear now.But at any rate, Wuwu Yangyang followed many of the guards' cronies behind him, and some of them also recognized the ritual vessels of the Northern Dynasty, so they had to give an explanation in public, otherwise it might not be easy to cover up in future history books... So he coughed lightly and waved With an air of calm and prestige, he looked down at the audience with his hands behind his back.

The servants standing on both sides of the sacrificial vessel immediately bowed and retreated, and the man in white squatting in front of a big cauldron patted his sleeves to get up, and came to greet King Qi.King Qi looked him up and down, and remembered that this was an official named Wang Mingzhi from the Hengyang Palace. His speech and behavior were quite elegant on weekdays, which was completely different from other vulgar people who spoke tiger and wolf words at every turn.However, just now this person was extremely profane in front of him, and he was really rough and top-notch.

So King Qi said coldly: "What are you doing?"

To openly call you "you" without honorifics is already considered a great contempt.If the rest of Hengyang Palace's rough embryos might just take it by ear, they might be able to accept it happily... But Wang Zhi's level is naturally extremely sensitive. Understand the reason of King Qi's anger.

So Wang Zhi licked his lips, subconsciously feeling guilty:

"Don't dare to insult His Majesty's clear hearing, the ministers...are cleaning up the ritual vessels."

"Clean up the ritual utensils?" King Qi's voice was as stiff as a steamed bun overnight: "Are the eunuchs and maids in the palace who specialize in Sasao all decorations, and you need to trouble the royal officials to take care of them?"

Wang Zhi licked his lips again, and couldn't help feeling a slander in his heart, thinking that you, a feudal leader, are really routine and not human - these ritual vessels are sealed on the second floor of Tianyi Pavilion in Taiyechi, on the top It is a strong radiation source gathered by a large number of luminous pearls; as long as the maids and eunuchs who have been cleaning have stayed for too long, their blood vessels will rupture under the strong radiation, which is at least acute internal bleeding.He was wearing protective clothing and brought a few guards with him, and it took him five or six days to clean up these things...

But now is not the time to raise an argument, Wang Zhi's thoughts changed sharply, and he lowered his eyebrows:

"Nowadays, the palace is chaotic and troublesome. Illiterate court ladies and eunuchs, how can they take care of the country's important treasures? The boy is overconfident, and he just admires the former sages, and wants to treasure the country's ritual and music classics and sacrificial treasures..."

Therefore, professionalism is professionalism. After these few words were eloquently spoken, King Qi's face immediately became relaxed and relaxed, and he unconsciously accepted two points for the air-conditioning.In the past, when Pei Gong came to Xianyang, all the generals fought for gold and silk, but Xiao He was the first to collect the books of the Prime Minister of Qin and the imperial censor Lü Ling; Wang Zhi used this as a metaphor, no doubt he envied Xiao He's virtuousness, and flattered the king of Qi Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty.This fart is steady and quasi-sophisticated and vicious, so King Qi couldn't help it.

With such a proper step, King Qi pushed the boat along the water and stopped making troubles. He opened his sleeves and went straight to the inner garden.Wang Zhi bowed to salute and send it off respectfully. When he lowered his head, his eyes glanced at the inscriptions of fish and birds on the bronze bell and tripod, and he couldn't help secretly heaving a sigh of relief.

Previously, Wang Zhi checked the records of the Northern Dynasty royal family offering sacrifices to Dayu in Tianyi Pavilion, and found that these prophecy and witchcraft enthusiasts were digging around and digging around Dayu, except for the precious oracle bone inscription coated with gold powder. .Actually dug out a lot of rare utensils.It's just that most of them are extremely cumbersome bronze bells, tripods, axes and axes, which cannot be transported long distances, so they have to be built on the spot for secret storage.However, the former emperors of the Northern Dynasties were very pleased with their achievements. Although they could not drag the bronze objects back to Beijing to show off their achievements, they also specially created a batch of ritual vessels with similar shapes, and even carved inscriptions on the bells and tripods to record what they saw and heard, so as to show their descendants to the ancestors of eighteen generations. The prosperity and greatness under the rule...

It doesn’t matter if the ancestors of the [-]th generation of the Northern Dynasties can’t understand Dayu’s things, but for archaeology, these ritual utensils are too crucial-considering that it is not yet possible to send the family of the Central Plains to the sky with a heavy blow, Then these counterfeit ritual vessels became the suspected first-hand information of the Xia Dynasty, which would definitely make the history schools in China gossip.That's why Wang Zhicai was willing to risk his disobedience, and carefully transferred all the ritual vessels out.

——After all, the dynasty heavy equipment will not use second-hand goods from Xianyu, if it really takes a few days to change the dynasty, maybe all these bronze things will be melted down to make money...

Seeing King Qi's back disappearing through the door, Wang Zhi sighed deeply, lowered his head and continued to wipe the bronze cauldron.

·

In order to show his sincerity to his allies (of course, he was also afraid of the allies' force), when King Qi entered the main room, he ordered the guards to stay outside the door, and only brought one of his cronies inside.As a result, he opened the door curtain and stepped into the brightly lit room, the accompanying cronies screamed and raised their hands to block King Qi.King Qi was also taken aback, and then pushed his cronies away with his backhand. It turned out that all the decorations in the room were emptied, and there was only a row of closely packed horses under the water-polished wall, and a white cloth on the opposite wall was slightly agitated. But it is clearly vivid light and shadow!

King Qi was surprised for a moment, and then remembered that this was a strange skill of the Hengyang Palace. It seemed to be called a "screen", which could display images that were indistinguishable from the real thing.The first time I saw this thing, I was naturally shocked, but after seeing it a few times, King Qi was able to calm down.He collected his expression in an instant, raised his hand to signal his cronies to calm down, and then walked in slowly.

But after entering the room, the light and shadow gradually became clear, King Qi looked up, and the corner of his mouth couldn't help but twitch.It turned out that the images on the screen changed, but it was also a crowded and narrow room full of people.And this room is very familiar to him, even every wrinkled old face in the room can be easily identified one by one, and even the subtlest expression in the wrinkles

...but how did they "see" the Zhengshitang?

King Qi remained silent.Based on the instinct of a superior, he should be frightened and fearful of such ghostly prying eyes, and even try his best to guard against them; but Hengyang Mansion's ability to make people fearful is too numerous to count, so after seeing too much, he seems to have some kind of failure. The open-mindedness of the broken jar—also known as the broken jar—so there was no ups and downs in his mentality...but the cronies around him gasped.

Xiang Liang, who was sitting on the mazza, stood up and strode forward to greet him, but his expression seemed unsurprised.

"Your Majesty is coming just in time." He smiled and saluted: "It just so happens that we have someone to introduce to Your Majesty."

After finishing speaking, he stretched out his hand to lift up the young man beside him, and patted his shoulder to signal the young man to look up—this man had handsome features but a pale complexion, as if he hadn't seen the sun for a long time, and there was a strange white cloth covering his eyes.

King Qi frowned slightly, only feeling that this person looked familiar.The boy remained silent, raised his hand and took off the white cloth.

King Qi's eyebrows furrowed even deeper.

"Are you..." He hesitated, "That medicine man from the Southern Dynasty?"
