Between the vast sea of ​​clouds

The people who accompanied the Ministry of Criminal Affairs never returned, and the Pingtai Pavilion was also released. Although there was a murder case, the dead was still a national teacher, but after all, it is a small country, and it can't make any waves.The Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Punishment jointly filed this matter, and the results obtained are also expected.The imperial court bestowed a posthumous posthumous title on Guli Guoshi to show his condolences, rewarded him with some pearls and jade, and sent the Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple to express his condolences.

When King Gong heard about this, he ordered the Minister of Honghe Temple to rectify his subordinates. After experiencing this incident, the officials of Honghe Temple were quite obedient, and they never dared to deliberately procrastinate and shirk their responsibilities when doing things.After the Pingtai Pavilion incident, the DPRK and China increased the deployment of soldiers to strengthen the guards for the missions from various countries who came to the pilgrimage to prevent this kind of thing from happening again.The Guli mission smuggled the national teacher into Beijing but failed to report it. This is already a serious crime. Unexpectedly, the national teacher who came all the way to Chang'an is still dead, and he dare not make any more troubles.The Ceylon mission, which had suffered a lot of grievances, gradually calmed down after receiving the warm comfort from the upper court.

Qingping went to the Huai'an Pavilion where the Guli Mission was located to express condolences. The Guli Mission stood aside and saluted respectfully. The care and love from His Majesty the Emperor in the palace, the Guli envoy had never seen such a battle, and was greatly moved. With tears in his eyes, he pulled the servant of the Ministry of Rites to think about the Master of the State Teacher together for a while, and wiped his tears with his sleeve: " ... The Lord of the Kingdom also persuaded the Master of the State Teacher that the month when she left the country was when the sea was rough and the waves were high. My body is getting worse year after year, so I should come here, otherwise there will be no time..."

Qingping lowered his eyes, and said sadly: "The headquarters heard that Master Guoshi is still in good health after coming to Beijing, so why... hey, why bother?"

The Guli envoy was silent for a moment, then suddenly became excited, and said: "My lord, she, she shouldn't have gone there!"

Qing Ping winked at Li Yan, Li Yan understood and retreated outside the door with all the officials.Only Qingping and Guli envoy were left in the hall. Guli envoy was still in grief and anger, and he didn't realize that there was no one around. Qingping let her vent for a while, then took out a torn sheepskin roll from his sleeve, Asked: "Can the envoy recognize this?"

The Guli envoy took a closer look, and hurriedly said: "This, this is the code of law that our master often practices!"

Qing Ping let out a sigh, and said gently: "May I ask the envoy, are the characters on it the ancient characters?"

The Guli envoy shook his head and said: "No, no one knows what is written on it except the national teacher."

Qingping's eyes flickered, and he said: "This... the legal code, I don't know what it is in this department. The national teacher of your country has a good practice, and he must have obtained some kind of oracle from it. After studying it every day, he realized the call of the gods. Go and serve."

Her attitude was natural, she didn't intend to continue to inquire at all, she turned around and was about to leave.The envoy Guli hesitated again and again, walked over quickly, and said in a low voice: "My lord, stay a step, this law code is not brought by the national teacher all the time, but she came to Shangguo, the place of pilgrimage, and asked for it from the envoy of God. Got it..."

Angel.

Qingping was in a trance for a while, and the dusty memories swept in with the dust, and the first thing that came to mind was the countless vast and distant moonlit nights of Xirong.

Seeing that she did not speak, the Guli envoy said anxiously, "My lord? My lord Li?"

Qingping came back to his senses, and reluctantly said: "The envoys don't need to worry, the imperial court has already granted the title to your country's national teacher..."

There was a light rain this morning, the Qingshiban road was still wet, the air was clear, crisp birdsong could be heard everywhere, and delicate flower buds could be picked by reaching out.Li Yan's palms were sweating, he quickly caught up with Qingping, and said, "Where are you going, my lord?"

Qingping slowed down, turned around to look at her, and said calmly: "Go to find Shaoqing of Honglu Temple, the headquarters wants to know where the Guli mission has stopped all the way to Beijing."

Li Yan turned to look at the ritual officer who was following behind, and ordered: "Wait here first."

After saying this, he bowed and saluted, and said: "My lord, it's not appropriate to ask Mr. Shaoqing rashly. The Ministry of Rites and the Cleaning Department also have a backup. Why don't you go back to the Ministry and ask Mr. Chen for advice?"

Qingping thought that instead of going to Chen Kaiyi, it would be better to go to Honglu Temple Shaoqing to take wood, but this matter is extremely important and must not be let go so easily.But when she thought about it, there must be someone else who was also investigating this matter secretly, and she acted more confidently than her.

So she said to Li Yan: "Forget it, it doesn't matter if you know or not, it's just a temporary idea."

By the end of March, Qingping had gone from being overwhelmed to being numb. Seeing that the day of the Hajj was getting closer and closer, at this moment, he didn't even have time to catch his breath.As usual, she led all the officials from the Ministry of Rites into the palace to review the various guards of honor and relevant arrangements for the court ceremony, and checked the list of envoys over and over again. After entering the official sedan chair, he went back to the mansion and slept soundly.

Before she was warm enough to be under the quilt, and it was morning time again, she got up in the middle of the night to wash and change clothes.In the morning at the end of March, the breeze was gentle, the sky was still dark in the middle of the night, and the sky was full of red clouds from afar. Qingping put up the curtains and took a nap as soon as possible. The sedan chair passed through Sanfang Sixth Street, and finally landed outside Yanhe Gate. Qingping sighed, and couldn't help feeling a little bit embarrassed, it seems that being an official in the court requires not only a superior mind, but also a healthy body.

Several courtiers were already waiting in front of the Yanhe Gate, so Qingping greeted them with greetings

In the thin morning mist, I saw an official sedan chair coming, and Zhong Yuan, the servant of the Criminal Department, also came out of the sedan chair. The two looked at each other and found that each other looked tired.A carriage came over, and all the officials knew that it was Yao Qian's carriage and horse, and they saluted one after another.Yao Shangshu's face was gloomy, and he could almost wriggle into the water.She cupped her hands perfunctorily, and before the bell rang, she quickly passed the Yanhe Gate and hurried into the palace.

Fearing that something important happened again, all the ministers were worried and talked a lot.When he went to court, he saw that the emperor was still calm, discussing government affairs as usual, and felt that nothing was wrong.

Qingping had an intuition that it shouldn't be a good thing, but the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of Rites were too far apart, and there was little overlap in official duties, so she put her heart back, and began to think about the sudden death of Guli Guoshi for no reason. Although the case was small , but the many details revealed in it are evocative.

The court ceremony will begin the day after tomorrow, the emperor encouraged all the ministers, and commended several ministers who worked hard.Qingping noticed for a while, most of them were veterans of Qingliu, it seems that Chu Jun's meaning was very clear, he wanted to win Qingliu who had been weak for many years in the imperial court again, and compete with the aristocratic family.Looking at the excerpts given by Yushitai and the Sixth Division to Shi Shenren, it is like heavy snow in the middle of winter, fluttering and lively, so lively.

In the middle of the early court, Shen Mingshan, the second assistant, came out to salute and invited the draft, hoping that the emperor would choose a servant and accept the harem, so that the branches and leaves could spread out as soon as possible.Things like this are usually handled by Zongzheng Siqing, but as we all know, the clan ministers do not deal with the emperor very much, so the cabinet can start the matter.

Qingping's eyebrows jumped, and his heart felt like a drum. If he said he was not aggrieved, it would be a lie.She sighed silently, she knew that this day would come, but when it really came, she was more relieved than sad, probably because she had been disheartened too many times, and she didn't feel sad much.

A ray of sunlight passed through the door, shining brightly on the whole hall. She saluted with all the officials and filed out. Before leaving, she turned her head and glanced. The person on the throne was still sitting upright, as if she was waiting for someone look back.The main hall is empty and lonely. It turns out that the so-called supremacy is nothing more than solitude.

The court ceremony was scheduled for the beginning of April, and Qingping had managed to finish his work for a long time. He expected that Xiumu would be ruined again this month. As expected, Wen Tianfu came to her office with a smile, and said with appreciation: "Li Shizhong has worked hard recently. After you are busy with the business, you should have a good rest and don't work too hard."

Qing Ping hurriedly said that he didn't dare, Wen Tianfu said again: "When His Majesty drafts the draft, the matter will still be handed over to Li Shizhong to preside over it, so people can rest assured."

Suddenly, Qingping felt a little subtle. Even if she fantasized wildly, she would never have imagined that there would be such a day when she would choose a servant king for Chu Jun.Her hesitant expression fell on Wen Tianfu's eyes, which made her feel unwilling, Wen Tianfu said: "Li Shizhong is still young, and he should do his own job well, and don't need to be influenced by other things."

Qingping was educated with an open mind, and thought with a smile, it's a pity that Mrs. Wen didn't know the love and hatred between her and Chu Jun, otherwise it would be difficult to entrust such important tasks to her, and it would be shocking and heartbreaking. I'm about to resign from office.

The postponed Xiu Mu finally arrived, Qing Ping rested in the mansion as usual, and did not call Zhang Feng to sit in the study.I wanted to change into regular clothes, and went to the book market to find some legendary story books, so I could prepare some books for Zhang Feng to read.Not long after breakfast, the steward came to report that Mr. Li had handed in a greeting card, saying that he had something important to see her.

Qingping took a look at the greeting card, and it was actually Li Yan who came to visit. She ordered the steward to go down to prepare tea and lead him to the study.

Li Yan waited outside the door a little anxiously. She came to visit suddenly this time, and she didn't go through the normal process of meeting Shangguan. She should have asked three times and sent three times. It's just that she has something important to do, so she can only avoid these red tapes, but I don't know if Shangguan will agree. Thinking about it?She didn't know, she just felt a little flustered.

She comes from the Li family in Hexi, a family of hairpin tassels that existed since the founding of the country. However, during the Changhua period, there was a disaster of party disputes, and she was condemned by the empress.But the master's family took it as a warning and often admonished the scholars in the family to work hard and study hard, which made the Li family re-enter the imperial court.

But according to her aunt, she has never heard of this Li family who came from a side branch.However, there are hundreds of branches of the Li family, so it is right to ignore them.Since a few years ago when she was still studying in the government school, Li Yan had gradually heard about this lord's reputation.At that time, she was only a small family member with no fame, but she felt admiration for this lord, who was at the bottom of his official rank, but promoted the new law in the desolate Yunzhou.

After all, the Li family was in danger of being destroyed, and I was deeply aware of the troubles of the aristocratic family. However, the disadvantages of the land grant system that have gone through several dynasties have been revealed. The aristocratic family enjoys privileges and does not have to pay taxes to the country. Land mergers continued, and national tax revenues decreased.It is a great loss to the court and the common people.

She has long been in love with this lord from the bottom of her heart. When she heard that she came back from Yunzhou, she thought she would join the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Officials, and other practical departments. She didn't know what happened, but Lord Li entered. The most leisurely Ritual Department has the meaning of a pearl covered in dust.

The emperor will not leave capable officials alone, as the so-called three years without changing the mother's way, can be called filial piety.Li Yan thought, maybe the emperor had just ascended the throne and was known for his benevolence and filial piety, so it would be difficult to make a move.

Just as she was thinking hard, the concierge came out with a smile on his face and said, "Please come in, distinguished guest. My lord is already waiting for you in the mansion."

Li Yan lifted up his robe and followed her into the mansion. The courtyard looks a bit small from the outside, but it is very open inside. The servants walk slowly and orderly when they come and go. .Li Yan was slightly surprised, and followed his servants into the back mansion without changing his face, and walked through the backyard garden corridor. The flowers and trees are elegant, the mountains and rocks are scattered, and the water flows past, making people feel fresh and natural. It is exquisite, and the materials used are all high-quality. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a prestigious residence.

She couldn't help but recall in her heart that Li Shizhong's words and deeds were nothing like those from a side branch, her demeanor was elegant and clean, and she was invisibly closer to a woman from a wealthy family.

How could those offshoots of the Li family who had been lost for a hundred years give birth to such characters?

When they reached a door, the servant asked outside first: "My lord, the distinguished guest has arrived."

When Li Yan entered the hall, Qing Ping was sitting in the first seat. He was only wearing ordinary clothes, and his skirt was worn to the ground. He only tied up his long hair with jade hairpins. He looked at her and said with a smile: "The servants in the mansion are a bit slow in delivering messages, please stay at the door." Sorry for the long wait."

All the doubts in her belly dissipated, and for some reason, all she could think of was the way the man smiled.

The author has something to say: Hahahaha my mom has done another big thing recently!

Because of the recent Chinese New Year, there are a lot of things at home, and there are constant treats, and then many relatives and friends come to visit at home. Every time I come out to receive guests, perform a talent show such as peeling apples, making tea, and knocking walnuts, I will leave and go back to the room code word.

Then one time I heard my mother chatting and laughing with people outside. An aunt asked me what I was doing in the room and why I didn’t go out to play. My mother said: “She is doing homework. !"

Aunt: "... Isn't your daughter in college?"

My mother (with confidence): "It's university, and there are a lot of homework!"

The aunt was puzzled and didn't ask any more questions.

……

I don't know what she promoted me among relatives. Anyway, I was just typing and was too lazy to go out to eat and socialize. As a result, one day when I went out to eat hot pot with my cousins, a younger brother asked me: "Hey sister, what are you doing?" Did you repeat the grade?"

Me: "?????? What the hell is repetition??"

Cousin: "Didn't you repeat the grade? My mother said that my aunt (my mother) said that you don't even leave the house, you just do your homework at home, and you can't go to school until you finish it. Isn't it repeating the grade?"

Me: "No!! No, I didn't repeat a grade!!! No!!!"

My cousin got married, and I didn't bother to go, so my mother told my aunt directly, and I just heard it right.

My mother: "She won't go, well, homework is done at home, just busy, a lot of homework."

My aunt: "What homework? She's only in her third year of high school? I think she's already in college!"

My mother: "University also has a lot of homework, I don't understand, it's just a lot of homework!"

Then my grandma came to my house for a short stay recently, and she heard the words and said, "Yes, there is a lot of homework. I sit by the computer every day and do my homework every day. I do it for a long time. It is harder than the third year of high school..."

Hehe, about, about everyone knows that I was 'repeated' and have a lot of homework. . . .It has become a model of failing to study hard to go to university and being repeated to make up homework. . .Some people even think that I was expelled from school, really, it's hard to complain. . .

Once I heard a cousin say: "If you don't study hard, you will have a lot of homework in college. Just like that sister, you have a lot of homework. You can't finish it every day during the winter vacation. It is very hard to make up every day and every night. ..."

I want to kill myself.
