wait for another year

In the third year of Yuanguang, there was civil strife in the Huihe tribe, and the khan drug Luoge was murdered by his second son Ye Dijian. The prince Mohe fled to Gaochang, was rescued by Xuanqi envoys, and traveled to Chang'an.So far, except for the three tribes of Yaoluoge, Yaowuge, and Xiyewu, which were controlled by Huihe Guoshi, the remaining five tribes including Luowu and Gesa fell into the hands of Ye Dijian.

Mo He tried his best in Chang'an, intending to restore the country.

In the seventh year of Yuanguang, Mo He borrowed 30 troops from Xuanqi, joined forces with the national division to attack the royal court, killed Ye Dijian, and regained the throne of Khan.

In the same year, the emperor conferred the title of Princess Hele, the eldest daughter of King Luo, to Mohe Khan; Mohe Khan paid tribute to Xuanqi as his son-in-law.

In the eighth year of Yuanguang, the national teacher led a delegation of Huihe envoys to meet, and the emperor went to Chang'an Zhuquemen to greet him personally, and hosted a banquet for the Huihe envoys in Linde Hall.

After years of wars and turmoil, even if the national teacher is indifferent, his temples will inevitably turn gray. Xuanyuan Hui looks sad for a while, and holds the national teacher's hand and won't let go.

The national teacher was very indifferent, "There are new shoots and there are branches, and there are branches and leaves. Birth, old age, sickness and death, six reincarnations, how can I be an exception?"

"What the national teacher said is that I have been blocked." Xuanyuan Hui led the national teacher into Linde Hall.

The decoration of Linde Hall today is not as elegant as an ordinary state banquet, it is just a dozen long tables arranged in two rows, on which are already placed delicacies and wines, as well as some cold snacks.

"Why don't you see the queen?" Fang asked, sitting at the same table with Xuanyuan Hui, looking around, seeing Zhao Xu.

Xuanyuan poured the wine with a dark smile: "Today, I will go to welcome the national teacher, and I will let Nineteen Lang go at the court meeting."

The national teacher raised his eyebrows, "What? Could it be that you still take turns to go to court?"

"I can't say that completely," Xuanyuan Hui said with a cheeky face, "Sometimes I sleep up late at night, reviewing the memorials all night, and it is inevitable that I will lose energy the next day. The empress loves me so much that she comes to court on my behalf."

The national teacher sneered, but didn't point it out, "It seems that the sky has already dispersed..."

"I think it's not even dusk yet, the empress is probably discussing politics with elders in the Zichen Palace, or taking the crown prince to criticize papers." Xuanyuan explained with a smile, "After all, Nineteenth Lang is still a minister, and he manages a lot of opportunities every day."

"Prince?" The national teacher was very surprised, "If I remember correctly, the prince is only six or seven years old, how can he be able to approve papers?"

Xuanyuan Hui smiled wryly, "He is a strict father and loving mother, but when we come here, he has become a loving father and strict mother."

The national teacher got up, "There is still a while before leaving the banquet, I wonder if I can go to visit the two Highnesses?"

So, after a cup of tea, a group of people stood quietly outside Zichen Hall.

Several cabinet ministers have just left, and the tea cups they drank earlier are still on the case.Zhao Xu was writing a book at his desk, the prince was sitting in his arms, with a miserable face.

The national teacher silently calculated, five or six hours have passed since the morning court to the present, it is really difficult for a child as old as the crown prince, just when he wanted to remind him, he heard Xuanyuan Hui say emotionally: "I have also thought about whether the queen is too strict with the prince, but when I think that the queen and I will both pass away in a short time, leaving him alone in the court. If he is not strict with him, he will be a man in the future. If the control is small, if you are harmed by others, then..."

He looked at his wife and children who buried their heads in official documents not far away, his eyes were full of nostalgia and sentimentality.

Only then did the national teacher realize that he was afraid that the joke he had made would not be so easy for others to understand, so he couldn't help laughing out loud.

"National teacher?" Xuanyuan Hui saw that he was rarely smiling, and suddenly remembered the scene when he took Zhao Xu to inspect the mausoleum on his birthday last year.

"The country was messed up by the Deng family before, and I didn't plan to make any big construction projects, so let's have a light burial, okay?" Xuanyuan Hui pointed excitedly, "Anyway, there is no concubine mausoleum, I see, just save it Go to a coffin. You and I are used to sharing the same bed. It is not beautiful to separate. The coffin has already been purchased by Qiongzhou, and the money comes from the inner treasury. I am just thinking that someone will steal the tomb in the future. You and I Do you want to set up a suspicious grave, the three caves of the cunning rabbit?"

"Isn't it too early to start thinking about the coffin?" Zhao Xu knew that he was a bit speechless when he thought about life-saving. Dragon body is useless.

"Life is less than a hundred years old, and there are always worries about a thousand years old..."

Zhao Xu smiled, "I think this life-sharing matter is nonsense, and I'm afraid that the national teacher will blackmail you. As for what he did with your blood, he probably thinks it's interesting and wants you and me to eat it." Take it easy."

"After all, he is a master of Taoism, so it is unlikely that he will utter lies..." Xuanyuan Hui thought about the cunning and cunning national teacher, and suddenly found it difficult to justify himself.

Zhao Xu embraced his arm, "However, what His Majesty said is right, it's okay to plan ahead and plan as soon as possible."

Xuanyuan Hui became interested, and the two lingered around the imperial mausoleum for a long time.

At that time Xuanyuan Hui thought it was Zhao Xu who was comforting him, but now it seems...

"National teacher... you..." Xuanyuan Hui looked at the national teacher with a tangled expression, "I have been terrified for so many years, how can your conscience be at ease?"

"How do I know that His Majesty is not just a mediocre person but also troubles himself?"

Xuanyuan Hui looked at him helplessly, suddenly grabbed the national teacher's sleeve, and said in a very low voice, "Except for the prince, you are the closest to me in this world..."

The national teacher looked down at his hand that was pulling his sleeve, and held it slowly, and the two smiled sadly at each other.

In the past few decades, Xuanyuan Hui lost his parents and brothers, and the national teacher lost his elder brother and younger sister. So many old relatives and friends were crushed like powder in the bloody disputes over imperial power.Love, hatred, grievances and kinship are entangled with flesh and blood, and even the nostalgia is stained with blood, and it is difficult to stop the gallop in the long river of time.

Now Xuanyuanhui has both his wife and children, and the national teacher has become the first elder of Huihe, but those indistinct pains will still accompany them until the end of their lives. This kind of pain has nothing to say, Zhao Xu will not understand, Mo He will not understand Understand.

Maybe only each other can see a thing or two.

"Father! My son has met Father!" The young prince's immature voice broke the gloomy silence.

Xuanyuan Hui came back to his senses, picked up the child who was bowing upright, and whispered softly: "Father's peacock... how is the little peacock doing today?"

At first, the national teacher thought he had heard it wrong, but he didn't dare to confirm it until Xuanyuan Hui repeated it.

"Ming Yi's name reminds His Majesty of Peacock Daming King, that's why he got this nickname." Zhao Xu bowed and bowed to his nephew, "I have seen the national teacher."

The national teacher helped him up, looked Zhao Xu up and down, and said with a smile: "This time, I see that your majesty looks good, but your majesty has calmed down."

Zhao Xu joked, "In five years, when the national teacher comes back, he will be fat and strong, and the crown prince will be the most healthy."

The national teacher smiled and patted the crown prince's head, "What are you reading recently?"

"Guanzi also has the biographies of the Shiji." The prince said pitifully.

"Oh? It seems that His Royal Highness wants Chu Jun to start with managing the world?"

Zhao Xu and Xuanyuan Hui looked at each other and smiled - as early as the Suzhou period, the two of them had repeatedly deliberated that the land and acres in the world would eventually fall into the hands of the powerful, and it was the same in all dynasties.How to appease the refugees who have lost their land is a great question. If you blindly equalize the land, although you can win the hearts of the people in the early stages of the dynasty, it is by no means a long-term solution.What they want to do is to enable the people to live without land to cultivate. When they can live without worrying about food and clothing without arable land, there will naturally be farmers with low yields and low land who hear the news.At this time, the imperial court can buy the land with funds, and either cultivate it, or order the prisoners to cultivate it...

"Tell Azu, which line do you like most in the tube?" Xuanyuan Hui showed off with a smile.

Xuanyuan Mingyi secretly glanced at Zhao Xu, who was stern-faced, and said with his head held high, "Those who have no land but want to be rich are worried; those who have no virtue and want to be kings are at risk, and those who do little but want to be rich are lonely."

"Why do you like this sentence?" the national teacher asked.

"Because my father often recites this..." Xuanyuan Mingyi pursed his lips, "I don't really understand what it means, I just memorized it first, and when I'm older and more knowledgeable, maybe I can learn it without a teacher. gone."

Just as the national teacher wanted to boast a few words, Xuanyuan Hui said: "Look at my prince, he is so smart! Where can I find a second boy who is so precocious in the world? My peacock is not only good at literature, but also good at martial arts , today is too late, tomorrow I will let him ride and shoot for you!"

The national teacher froze, "The son of a dragon and the grandson of a phoenix are naturally extraordinary."

Zhao Xu shook his head and remained silent. Shou Ning, who was waiting on the sidelines, felt that this scene was exactly the same as praising Zhao Xu to Deng Xiang in Xuanyuanhui, Liangzhou. , please drive away.”

Zhao Xu restrained his expression, "Master, please."

The author has something to say: That’s right, Lord Luo, who left his father in the clan, is still alive

In addition, the national teacher is here to complain about the fun
