Zaisuke

......

After the pleasant conversation last night, the alienation between Ji Lan and Su Yanche faded a bit.

On the second day, after the court ceremony, Ji Lan and several important ministers walked towards the Ji Ying Hall. The Fourth Prince Han Gongyu came from the garden and waved to Ji Lan.

There is a minister of the Northern Wilderness court, the minister of the six courts, the elders of the six courts, the six ministers, and several other officials of various sizes. Ji Lan's position of prime minister holds a pivotal position in the court of the Northern Wilderness, and it is a check and balance with the elders of the six pavilions of the Longyuan Pavilion.

Zaifu's management was complicated and chaotic, and Ji Lan's position was equivalent to the chief steward of the entire Northern Wilderness.

Each of the elders of the five pavilions in Longyuan Pavilion is responsible for a major task, which is divided into scholars, farmers, workers, merchants, soldiers, and law.

The six departments are responsible for implementing the matters agreed by the emperor, Zaifu and Longyuan Pavilion, and a Yushitai is set up to supervise the officials of the six departments.

The Northern Wilderness Talisman is divided into Dragon Talisman and Tiger Talisman. The Dragon Talisman is in the hands of Emperor Han Yi, and its effectiveness is higher than that of the Tiger Talisman.

According to the official positions and responsibilities of the generals in the Northern Wilderness, there are three kinds of tiger charms: border tiger charms, local tiger charms, and Kyoto tiger charms.

At this time, beside Ji Lan were the six elders of Longyuan Pavilion. When they saw Han Gongyu approaching, they did not hold back their identity, and bowed their hands to Han Gongyu, saying, "Fourth prince."

Han Gongyu returned the salute, "Mr. Ge."

Knowing that Han Gongyu had something to say to Ji Lan, the elder Liuge entered the Jiying Hall first.

These six were all famous figures in the Northern Wilderness. When Han Gongyu saw them, he always had the feeling that he would be slapped by his teacher. Therefore, his waist was straight and he was considered a dignified and noble prince.

When the elder of Liuge entered, Han Gongyu breathed a sigh of relief, grabbed Ji Lan's shoulders, dragged her to another place, and said as he walked, "I really don't know how you get along with them. I know what it means to not be angry and arrogant. gone."

Ji Lan said: "The fourth prince is very free? Your Majesty has high hopes for you, so you have to look good."

Han Gongyu's ears could hear the cocoon in the latter sentence, his lecturer said it every day, and later this long-winded lecturer was kicked out of his palace by Han Gongyu on the charge of disrespect.

The same sentence was said by Ji Lan, and Han Gongyu didn't get tired of it. Ji Lan could say anything, as long as he talked to him.

"Master Zhaoming of Faxiang Temple left seclusion today, and he also retreated after you left. Today, the three of us go to get together, and I agree to eat the vegetarian food of Faxiang Temple." Han Gongyu said.

Ji Lan took Han Gongyu's hand from her shoulder and said, "I can't do it now, I still have work to do, and the elders are still waiting for me in Jiying Hall."

"Zhaoming, when he leaves customs today, he will definitely go to see his pilgrims, and he can't take care of us for the time being, so it's better to wait until later."

What Ji Lan said was reasonable, Han Gongyu didn't refute, nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll wait for you in Jiying Hall, and we'll go together as soon as you're done."

Ji Lan and Mr. Liuge were talking about things in the hall, and the maid brought Han Gongyu hearty snacks, which were fresh and delicate, and looked very delicious.

Usually, the old Liuge and Ji Lan discussed things together in a circle, and Han Gongyu, who was bored by the side, squeezed over after eating two more snacks.

Hearing Ji Lan and the elders say a lot, extending from the territory of Beihuang to the outside world, these things were many and complicated at the beginning, but after the seven people and some officials who followed them sorted it out, it became clear.

As for the rest of the day-to-day affairs, people from the six ministries reported their plans from time to time, and there was nothing wrong with them.

Today, in Jiying Hall, people from the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of War ran the most, and the Minister of the Ministry of Rites was also there.

Listening to the conversation between Ji Lan and the six elders, it was approaching the end of the new year, and he had an uncle who was going to the fiefdom to return to Beijing with his family this year.

Every year, the royal family would return to Beijing, but this Prince Han Song received more attention and vigilance when he returned to Beijing.

......

When Ji Lan and Han Gongyu arrived at the Faxiang Temple in the capital, the sun was about to set, and the clouds in the sky were dark orange, but there were still many pilgrims in the temple.

Bypassing the main hall dedicated to the ancestors of Faxiang Temple, and then passing through the main hall dedicated to the ancestors of Faxiang Temple, Ji Lan and Han Gongyu came to the Bodhi Hall.

It is said to be the Bodhi Hall, but there is no hall in it. The ground is wide, covered with a layer of gray-white stone bricks, and in the center of the hall is a lush ancient Bodhi tree.

At this time, there is a layer of faint golden light on the edge of the leaves of the Bodhi tree, which looks very quiet and solemn.

Wearing a cassock, Zhao Ming meditated under the tree. He opened his eyes and stopped his movements when the two came close.

Zhaoming is gentle and handsome, I haven't seen him for ten years, his eyes are as deep as an ancient pond.

"The two are Zhaoming's old friends. There is a fast meal in the monk's room. The two come with the monk." Zhaoming said.

After eating the fast meal, Zhaoming lit the lamp in the room, and the three of them sat down on the straw woven futon. Zhaoming said, "In two days, I will travel around the world, passing through Dongwu, Dayan, Nanman, and Xishan, and finally returning to the north. Huang, I have been away for several years, and I don’t know when I will be able to meet the two of you."

"We just met, and you have to leave, why don't you stay for a few more days. Although the monks in Faxiang Temple have to travel, but you have just left the customs, why can't you rest for a year or so?" Han Gongyu said.

Zhaoming shook his head slowly, and said: "Faxiang Patriarch travels around the world, I have longed for it for a long time, and I don't want to stay in the temple for a long time."

"As you go." As if she had been prepared for a long time, Ji Lan took off the straw woven Sanghai ring she wore on her ring finger, and said to Zhaoming, "There are some spells I drew in the past few days. There are finished products and waste products. Don't give them away. Keep them here." Use it yourself."

Zhaoming took it, nodded and said with a smile, "Thank you, little monk. You guessed it before I said it."

Hearing this, Han Gongyu said, "Ji Lan, you're not mean enough. You guessed that Zhao Ming was going to leave, but you didn't tell me. I didn't prepare anything."

Ji Lan said: "It's not a guess. Zhaoming is a monk of Faxiang Temple. One day he will go out for a wandering. When he went to the ancestral land, he didn't have time to prepare. When he came back, he took the time to prepare it for him. It's just that he just prepared it and gave it away. so fast."

The three of them talked a lot, and they talked at night by candlelight until dawn. After ten years of not seeing each other, they had a lot to say, but Zhaoming still had to go to see the believers, Xiangzhong, and Ji Lan and Baiguan went to court, so the three of them separated for the time being.

Ten years ago, Ji Lan was six years old, Zhao Ming was nine years old, and Han Gongyu was 14 years old. They were the oldest among the three. They took it for granted that they wanted to be the eldest brother and protect Ji Lan and Zhao Ming.

Now it seems like a waste material like him, Zhao Ming and Ji Lan are almost enough to protect him.

Zhaoming sent Ji Lan and Han Gongyu to the entrance of Faxiang Temple, and there were two carriages waiting on the road.

One was the one that Ji Lan and Han Gongyu shared when they arrived, and the other one, Yi Qingyu, was sitting in the driver's seat, resting with his eyes closed.

Sensing Ji Lan's aura, Yi Qingyu got out of the car, opened the curtain, and said to Ji Lan, "Please get in the car, my lord. The owner didn't eat anything last night and is still waiting for you to go back."

Su Yanche is a beauty, and Han Gongyu was also amazed when they first met, and had a good impression, but at this moment, a trace of displeasure arose in his heart, what does this landlord Su mean? Could it be that Ji Lan won't go and not eat?

Ji Lan's heart is soft, and he will agree after a while. He has been by Ji Lan's side these days, getting along with Ji Lan in a way that makes Ji Lan accommodate him.

This method is useful for Ji Lan.

Su Yanche is Ji Lan's master. Didn't he just tie a red string around Ji Lan's wrist on the day of apprenticeship? It's not Qiu Yi at all. It's not that he doesn't like this apprentice, but now he keeps Ji Lan in the same way as him. Beside, what is the plot.

Zhao Ming, who was on the side, saw Han Gongyu's expression in his eyes, his lips moved, and he used spiritual power to transmit a voice to Ji Lan.

Han Gongyu said: "You go back by yourself, and I will send you back. Don't bother the master Su."

"Also, from my prince's point of view, the landlord Su is already an adult. Does he need someone to accompany him to eat?" Han Gongyu is the prince of the Northern Wilderness, so there is nothing wrong with showing his identity.

It's just that the foundation of Qiushuilou is in Dongwu. As soon as Han Gongyu said that, Yi Qingyu sneered.

Yi Qingyu swallowed the words that came to her lips, put away her sneer, and only bowed her hands to Han Gongyu, without saying much.

Zhaoming said: "When you get here, the monk will not see you off, you two go slowly."

Zhaoming is a Buddhist gift, and Ji Lan and Han Gongyu return the gift.

Han Gongyu said to Ji Lan, "You come with me, and I'll take you home."

Ji Lan said: "You go back first and have a good rest for half a day."

"Zhaoming is leaving. I'll go with you this afternoon to see what else we can prepare for Zhaoming. How about it?"

Being able to be with Ji Lan, Han Gongyu's sword eyebrows unconsciously had a gleam of joy, and said, "Okay, then it's a deal."

After Han Gongyu left, Ji Lan rubbed the corners of her eyes with her fingers before boarding the carriage.

This carriage was wider than ordinary carriages, and a certain white rice dumpling wrapped in bandages was lying upright on the carriage, and its lower body was limp.

"You don't feel bad pain all over your body. Why, it doesn't hurt anymore when you get into the carriage?" Ji Lan sat down limply beside the white rice dumpling Su Yanche.

Su Yanche squinted at Ji Lan with his phoenix eyes, and said, "Shouldn't you explain why you don't come home at night?"
