Raiders Leng Chen

Outside the Tanle Hall, a mighty group of people knelt at the entrance of the hall. The woman at the head was dressed in a black palace attire. Looking carefully, she was eight points similar to Tuobasi, but more serious and serious. She looked like a female version. Tuoba Si.

Empress Dowager Feng is a full-fledged strong woman. Although Tuoba Si is 23 years old, she needs the help of Empress Dowager Feng to deal with the important affairs of the government. No wonder, as soon as Empress Dowager Feng arrived at the Hall of Greed, Tuoba Si greeted her with a smile: "The empress mother came to the hall, and she didn't send someone to report it. If the son hadn't felt it, the empress mother might be troubled."

Empress Dowager Feng chuckled lightly, tapped Tuoba Si's forehead and said, "As an emperor, you have no right to do it, and you have learned to be slick and slick every day."

Tuoba Si just smiled and walked towards Empress Dowager Feng, the things in the hall were very messy, the same objects were piled up together, it seems that Tuoba Si also tidied up temporarily, Empress Dowager Feng frowned secretly, seeing Tuo Ba Si smirked, but couldn't produce a trace of anger.

"You kid, you never know what to worry about. It's nothing more than changing the dignified Palace of Qinzheng into the Palace of Greedy Joy. You really plan to be a king of pleasure-seeking. What treasure does that Fu Su have? Let me tell you If you give the county throne, you will give the county throne."

Tuoba Si scratched his head, thinking of Chu Su's cold face, the corner of his mouth was raised: "Baby... um... The son thinks it must be a baby. The mother knows that a daughter is easy to get, but a general is hard to find."

Empress Dowager Feng was naturally dubious, and her own son once pulled a storyteller from the street, saying that he was a good general.But in the end, I found out that the storyteller was really a helpless scholar except for his lip service.

"You beg good generals and Aijia not to stop you, but the emperor, you need to know that what our great Wei lacks today is not civil servants and generals, but your heart to plan strategies. As an emperor, you must be able to control the overall situation, and even more so, you must be able to win people's hearts , Empress Mother thinks that you are not young anymore, a few years ago you could still use filial piety as an excuse, but now that this excuse is gone, it is time to consider a big marriage." Empress Dowager Feng said clearly and logically, and Tuobasi was one Strong headache.

"Big marriage is so boring. My son often goes to this harem, and the queen mother often pushes people in, but my son thinks that these women are all vulgar things. If my son wants to chat with them about the anecdotes, they are good. , I don't think I'm an emperor, but rather a merchant who runs a gold and jade shop, very vulgar!" Tuoba Si spread his hands and shrugged his shoulders with an impatient look on his face.

Empress Dowager Feng was stunned, looking at her own son, such a face made people jealous even as a man, she smiled helplessly, sometimes she also felt that the concubines in the harem were really not worthy of her son .

Empress Dowager Feng rubbed her forehead, looking quite troubled: "You have your reasons at any time. Ghosts and spirits have no certainty. It's not in a hurry these few months. There are always good girls from aristocratic families. The queen mother will take care of you carefully." Just pick and choose.”

Then Tuoba Si continued to laugh lightly, chatted with Empress Dowager Feng by the way, and suddenly, Tuoba Si asked abruptly: "My mother used to be a famous talented woman, and she is also one of the best in Chang'an, so mother Do you know that there have been men as queens throughout the ages?"

Empress Dowager Feng shuddered, only feeling numbness in her back, seeing Tuobasi's happy face, she said seriously: "In the past and present, there has never been such absurd thing, even if it is a male favorite, it will not be on the stage, you Children like to play with their queen mother, which is understandable, but sometimes they play too much, and the queen mother will never protect you!"

Tuoba Si tidied up the hem of his clothes, and seemed to be very interested in the pattern on it. After listening to Queen Mother Feng, he said cheerfully: "Mother, don't worry too much, but I saw a son today, and I remembered His father, Chu Yuan, had a very close relationship with the former Emperor Wen of Qin, so he speculated out of curiosity, you said that Chu Yuan was rumored..."

"Nonsense! Chu Yuan is a Confucian general, and he acts upright. Once the country is destroyed and he dies for the country, he can be a model for his courtiers. Even though his Chu family is different from my Tuoba Dao and does not conspire with each other, there is no need to judge him with such filthy words. "Empress Dowager Feng glared at Tuoba Si, knocked on Tuoba Si's head, it was rare to speak to Tuoba Si in such a tone.

After thinking about it carefully, he felt wrong, and asked Tuobasi: "When your father broke Chang'an, all sixteen members of the Chu family were killed, and the rest of the Chu family's branches also moved to Qinghe, how did you meet Chu? Yuan's son?"

Tuoba Si stared at Empress Dowager Feng, always feeling that the always dignified and steady Empress Mother seemed to get a little more excited when she mentioned the Chu family, and her usual calmness no longer existed.I secretly had some speculations in my heart, but I was too embarrassed to say it out loud. It is said that Chu Yuan was quite a handsome man back then. There were thousands of girls in Chang'an City, and his mother's queen was also one of them!I'm afraid that if the underground father heard it, he would have to go to Chu Yuan to fight.

Tuoba smirked, always presumptuous.How could Empress Dowager Feng not know what he was thinking, with a slap, Tuobasi hugged his head and shouted: "Mother, why are you beating me? Could it be that I guessed it right, you are furious!"

Tuoba Si hugged his head with a righteous look on his face, Empress Dowager Feng sneered and said, "I tell you to read more books, I think you have read all your books into a dog's head! He Chu Yuan is my cousin, it's you." Cousin! Your cousin died for the country back then, it was his way of being a loyal courtier, and his love was unyielding. It's a pity that your father died before he could be granted the title. The Ai family has been thinking about this in the past few years. " As he spoke, Empress Dowager Feng's expression was a little sluggish. Presumably, her relationship with Chu Yuan's family must be deep, otherwise she would not have heard that Chu Yuan had such an excited expression when he still had heirs alive.

Tuoba Si secretly rejoiced, that Chu Su looked unusual to Fu Su, if he could have a relative status, it seemed to be closer.

"Alas..." Empress Dowager Feng sighed, then turned around and scolded Tuoba Si: "Isn't it all because of you bastard who ignores the government all day long, and the jade seal on your desk will cause trouble?" It's gray, you have made a decree in the past three years, and you still promoted that Fu Su, Aijia warns you, don't expect me to help you with government affairs again, and if you have the opportunity, take your cousin's bereaved son with you. Come into the palace, I can't compensate your cousin, but his child, the Ai family will regard him as his own son."

Tuobasi bowed and said: "Don't worry, my son has appointed him as a general manager, and he will be promoted slowly in the future. It's okay to give him a big favor one day." Tuobasi thought: I don't know, What kind of position can be regarded as a grace given to that person.

Empress Dowager Feng's tense heart relaxed, she nodded in agreement and said, "You haven't told me, what's the name of that child?"

"Chu Su, the word Zhiyi. My son thinks that Chu Su must be a Chu Chu Su Su, and his temperament must be very similar to General Chu Yuan." Tuoba Si smiled and hurriedly let Chu Su stay with Queen Mother Feng. Make a good impression.

Three days later.

A reluctant Chu Su outside the palace was about to enter the palace, and Tuoba Si in the palace was excited for a few days, and even tossed thousands of people in the palace. In danger, I hope that some god will appear and cure my majesty.

Greedy Hall.

Chu Su was forced to change into a black official uniform, and silently recited in his heart what Fu Su said when he left the house in the morning: Don't be in a hurry and use patience, don't be in a hurry and use patience!

Chu Su stood in front of the main hall and looked up.The three big characters in gilt, snorted slightly mockingly, the name of the palace is indeed the style that the emperor should have, just as he was thinking, Wu Yong came out of the palace with a very innocent expression, but this innocence was full of anger. funny.

In Chu Su's view, Wu Yong is "colorful" today, even his face is colorful.

"Eunuch Wu, what are you...?" Chu Su held back for a long time before saying something.

Wu Yong is also very helpless, with paint all over his body, colorful.He is a majestic eunuch in the inner court, the chief eunuch who leads thousands of people in the palace, now he comes out in colorful clothes, he himself feels ashamed.

"Master Chu, please forgive me. Please wait in the inner hall. Your Majesty studied Danqing yesterday and slept late." Wu Yong lowered his head and watched the green paint dripping clearly. If he had a knife, he would definitely be able to do it now without hesitation. stabbed himself.

Chu Su nodded and walked towards the hall, some passing young palace ladies smiled lightly, but also wryly.

Wu Yong tilted his head, just happened to face him with a wry smile and said, "You guys are ridiculous. When His Majesty uses you for painting, don't let my father-in-law shirk for you."

The little maids were startled, and bowed to salute, "Eunuch has worked hard, and the slaves will definitely remember your kindness."

inner hall.

The whole inner hall is filled with the scent of books, the letters on the table are arranged in an orderly manner, and the incense is burned in the hall, but it is not strong, only with a light fruity smell, which will not make people feel depressed Excluding Tuobasi's desk case, there is only one seat in the hall, right in front of the chairman's left, made of high-quality pear blossom wood, with the fragrance of new wood, there are no letters on the table, but some exquisite small ones. point.

Mung bean cakes, jujube cakes, yam cakes, and even the 'lion man' which is popular among children in the market. The appearance of the little lion is vivid, and they are all common little spots, which can also whet the appetite. , Chu Su only glanced at it lightly, completely ignoring it.Standing in the center of the hall, it is like a pillar supporting a beam.

Not long after, a familiar and frivolous voice came: "It's quite early, I was caught off guard." Tuoba Si walked over quickly, looking in a good mood.

He walked up to look at the cakes on the table, they were all intact.Frowning and pointing at the pastry, he said, "This pastry is not to your liking? Why didn't you eat a single bite?"

Chu Su bowed slightly to Tuoba Si expressionlessly and said, "I'm not hungry."

Tuoba Si was not annoyed by his expression, he stepped forward and grabbed his sleeve and said: "There is no reason why you are not hungry, you came early, you must get up at Mao, it will take a while to rush to the palace, now it is not too late It turns out that the vendors on the street are not awake, and you don’t even have a chance to buy some food, so there’s no way you’re not hungry.”

After speaking, he forced Chu Su to sit on the seat, and found a cushion to sit opposite him.Chu Su frowned slightly, the pastry in front of him didn't move a bit, Tuoba raised his eyebrows and said, "Could it be that you want me to feed you personally?"

"Your Majesty is too worried... um." As soon as Chu Su opened his mouth, Tuobasi stuffed a piece of mung bean cake into Chu Su's mouth involuntarily.

What Chu Su and Fu Su had been chanting in the morning, "Don't be anxious and bear with patience" has long been forgotten, and his mind is full of humiliation. Hit the chest.

Tuoba Si laughed lightly, and stepped back. He wanted to tease him, and he was willing to accept this palm. Although he had avoided most of the force, he couldn't help but let out a muffled groan.

Chu Su calmed down a little at the moment, his whole body was numb, why he couldn't bear it so much, he still couldn't figure out Tuoba Si's temperament, if he was furious, his own life didn't matter, but if Fu Su was involved Daye, then he is the one who should be cut to pieces.

Feeling a burst of warmth in his wrist, Chu Di came back to his senses, and saw that the corners of Tuoba Si's mouth rose a little bit more. Tuoba Si had a pair of almond eyes, and when he smiled, he was like a bright mirror.Chu Su could see himself in his eyes.

"Your palm is really strong, I dodged it a little bit, it still hurts like this!" Tuoba Si looked a little aggrieved as he said that, his eyes seemed to be dripping water.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me..." Chu Su's tone was slightly tinged with guilt. It is true that he was too impulsive, and this Tuoba Si did not act too much.

"Don't...you are innocent, I was being rude, you can eat some first, I eat these cakes, I will take you to meet someone later." Tuoba Si let go of the grip that restrained Chu Su. hand, and began to gently rub his chest.

Chu Su lowered his head, and after a while, he pushed a plate of mung bean cakes in front of Tuoba Si and said, "I didn't eat it, and Your Majesty didn't even think about it."

Tuoba Si stared at the plate of mung bean cake, but didn't know how to answer the question, he laughed in a low voice for a long while and said, "Aren't you a heartless person, I will eat with you."

Tuobasi felt that today's mung bean cake was extraordinarily refreshing and delicate, with an indescribably sweet taste.

Wu Yong washed up and stood outside the door with the maids holding breakfast. Seeing the inexplicably harmonious two people eating the particularly attractive pastries, the little maid asked in a low voice, "Eunuch Wu, how much is the breakfast?" Are you still bringing it in?"

Wu Yong frowned and asked, "I don't have the eyesight to see. Are you afraid of spoiling His Majesty's affairs if you go in now? Let's all go away." Only now did Wu Yong realize why His Majesty asked him to prepare these pastries.

After the two of them had finished eating, Chu Su was very clear about his responsibilities as a coordinator, and most of the government affairs on Tuobasi's table were moved to his desk. Tuobasi yawned and looked at Chu who was sorting out the slip Su said: "You are quite clear about the responsibilities of internal officials, did you help him like this in Fu Su's mansion before?"

Chu Su: "...."

Tuoba Si pulled out a batch of bright yellow silk, the brush was stained with ink, and wanted to write something, but felt that his head was empty, and it was full of Chu Su's indifferent face.Tuobasi raised his head again and looked at Chu Su carefully. To be honest, Chu Su's appearance was not particularly outstanding, but he had a kind of aura that was out of the world, the kind that escaped from the Three Realms and was not contaminated with a trace of secular atmosphere. It felt like that was what made Tuoba Si so obsessed, he really wanted to get close to Chu Su, there was no reason to want to get close.

Tuobasi couldn't write anything, he was bored and started talking to Chu Su again: "Seeing that you are so familiar, why don't you just approve some insignificant things for me? Just throw it aside and forget about it.”

Not to mention how Tuoba Si loves to play, his eyes are really nice, what Chu Su is reading right now is an article praising how wise Tuoba Si is.

Chu Su nodded lightly, and Tuoba Si chatted endlessly as if inspired: "However, I think that some ministers' writing is still good, and some of the articles they write are full of hype. Excited."

Chu Su's face remained unchanged, and he hummed in response.

Tuoba Si didn't think it was enough and continued to ask: "Your father is a military general. Needless to say, I have personally tried your martial arts, but I think you are well-mannered, and your ability to handle government affairs is not what a family of military generals should have. .”

Wu Yong stood aside and secretly rolled his eyes: Your Majesty, didn't you hear clearly that the Empress Dowager said that General Chu Yuan was a Confucian general last night?

Chu Su paused, but Tuoba Si saw it and didn't speak.Chu Su only said: "I grew up in Liangjun's palace since I was a child."

Tuoba Si responded, not intending to continue this topic.After being silent for a while, he said suddenly: "I think you still look good in white clothes. Although this black official uniform looks energetic, it doesn't suit you. In the future, you don't need an official uniform when you are in the palace. You are my honored guest, you don't have to be bound by palace rules to dress freely."

Chu Su raised his head, wondering how Tuoba Si could treat him so leniently. Tuoba Si doesn't look like such a lenient person. Before he could think about it in the future, Tuoba Si had already walked in front of him and said, "At noon It's almost here, the Empress Dowager is hosting a banquet for you today, we have to go to Changle Palace."

Chu Su got up, and the queen mother entertained him because she was the king of Liangjun?Chu Su immediately shook his head mockingly, even if Fu Su came in person, the Queen Mother might not entertain him.

The two walked towards the entrance of the hall one after the other, Tuoba gave a violent pause, Chu Su lowered his head and didn't look carefully, and bumped into it suddenly.Chu Su reflexively hissed, and Tuoba Si immediately turned around and hugged his shoulders, with a hint of worry in his tone: "What's the matter, did it hurt you?"

Chu Su broke free from Tuoba Si's hand again by reflex, bowed and said: "I didn't pay attention, is your Majesty okay?"

Only then did Tuoba Si half-believe and half-doubt: "It's something, I think your clothes are really ugly, I have some regular clothes in the palace, and there is a white one that suits you very well."

"Wu Yong, take Chu Su down to change clothes." Tuoba Si finished speaking and walked towards the dragon chariot.

Wu Yong smiled lightly and said to Chu Su, "Your Excellency, come along with your slaves."
