I Rely on Beauty to Stabilize the Country

The heavy rain splashed along the eaves into the corridor, and the palace servants took a step back in unison to avoid being hit by the water droplets on these people.

Gu Yuanbai wiped his hands, put on his coat and glanced at them, "Where did you go?"

A few guards hurriedly said: "Return to the Holy Lord, I saw someone passing by outside the courtyard before the rain fell, and I was suspicious, so I went forward to find out."

The heavy rain was like pearls on a string, and the evening rain was cloudy, and everything seemed to be covered with mist. In the dark sky, only the clothes were bright as before.

When Gu Yuanbai stepped out of the door, he felt water vapor in twos and threes head-on. He turned to the side to avoid the windward part of the door, "Who is it?"

"It's a monk from other temples who came to Jingchen Temple to study Buddhism," said a guard, "I waited to catch up and ask, and the monk said that he recognized the wrong person."

Gu Yuanbai turned his head and followed the palace attendant, "Bring them some clean towels first."

The palace servant has already brought it and passed it to several people.The guards took it and wiped the water from his hair and body, "Holy Majesty, we checked the monk's certificate and found that he was indeed a monk from a famous temple in Hebei. No wonder there was a Hebei accent in his accent. After the abbot of the Dust Temple confirmed his identity, it rained heavily when I was on the way back."

The heavy rain came suddenly, drenching them all at once.Gu Yuanbai nodded casually. Seeing that the towels were wet and the water stains on their bodies hadn't been wiped off, he said, "Go back to your room and change your clothes."

These people only wore the clothes on their bodies. If they wanted to avoid the cold, the only way was to take off the clothes on their bodies and lie on the bed in the bedroom wrapped in quilts to wait for the clothes to dry.

Several people left one after another, only Xue Yuan stood there wet, his clothes were still dripping, "Your Majesty, there is no kang bed in the temple, how did you sleep at noon?"

The silver fur coat fluttering in the wind covered the face of the Holy Majesty. Gu Yuanbai raised his eyes to look at him, his eyes were black and moist, and his skin was like white jade. It was like a person in an ink painting moving for a moment, but his voice was neither cold nor cold. Heat, "It's not that good."

Xue Yuan grinned, and when Gu Yuanbai thought he was going to talk nonsense about warming his bed again, Xue Yuan saluted and went back to the room to change clothes.

Gu Yuanbai's face suddenly turned cold.

He looked at Xue Yuan's back expressionlessly, with a silent sneer on his lips, and turned back to the bedroom.

late at night.

The sound of the rain outside the window became more fierce. In the midst of the wind and rain, someone whispered a few words outside, and the wooden door creaked and closed gently again.

Someone approached Gu Yuanbai, before he could bend over, the Holy Majesty had already said ruthlessly: "Get lost!"

The man paused, obediently froze.His voice was soaked by today's rain, and he was hoarse with dampness, "Your Majesty, I asked the imperial doctor yesterday, and you are almost in good health now."

Gu Yuanbai turned over and lifted the quilt, ignoring it.

The white Yingying quilt seemed to reflect a light color on the bed, and one corner was pressed against the face of the Holy One, and the dark light set off the roundness of the earballs of the Holy One.A small part of the side face is exposed, vaguely, half-covered.

Xue Yuan looked at him for a while, and only dared to look up at him today. It wasn't until the superficial addiction was satisfied that he was in the mood to do other things.

Xue Yuan raised his knee and pressed down on a corner of the quilt on the Holy One. Gu Yuanbai didn't pull the quilt over, and his voice became colder, "Xue Jiuyao, I want you to go away."

"The sage listened to my minister's explanation," Xue Yuandao said, "I finally went to the dragon bed again that day, and after doing my best to make the sage comfortable, Manager Tian brought the imperial doctor to the minister the next day, and the imperial doctor said , Your Majesty's body is weak, and after the spices are cut off, there will be a period of weakness."

Xue Yuan whispered, "I dare not touch it anymore." After a pause, his voice became even hoarse, "I dare not even look at it."

However, His Majesty is like a flower, wandering around in front of Xue Yuan all day long.With fragrance and water drops, the more ruthless the look, the more unbearable it is to look at.

Gu Yuanbai closed his eyes and didn't speak, Xue Yuan's back was stiff, but his back was strong enough to be able to handle it with ease, "Don't be angry, my lord, tonight..."

"Why do you have such a strong sandalwood scent?" Gu Yuanbai wrinkled his nose, "Have you gone to worship Buddha?"

Xue Yuan's expression suddenly became strange, and he blurted out: "Dog nose?"

Gu Yuanbai laughed back angrily, just as a lightning flashed across the sky outside, Gu Yuanbai stretched out his fingertips and pointed at the thunder light outside the window, "I'm a dog nose, then you are a coward. Xue Jiuyao, Wanli Flying a kite in cloudless weather is not a hero, if you want to ask Lei, this will be a good opportunity."

"I said something wrong. The Holy Majesty's nose is made of jade. How can you look at it?" Xue Yuan smiled, pondered for a while and said, "I can't fly a kite when it's raining. But if the Holy Majesty can grant my request, You can stand in the rain for a while, let the Holy Majesty see if you are a coward or not."

Gu Yuanbai lazily said: "I'm not interested in playing with you with these things."

"Your Majesty, there is an osmanthus tree in the middle of the courtyard. On the top of the osmanthus tree is a new shoot. The buds and leaves are green and tender, and the branches are soft." A gamble? If you can fold..."

Gu Yuanbai couldn't help but asked, "If it can be folded?"

Xue Yuan's hand was clenched into a fist, and once the selfishness that he had endured for a month was leaked, his five fingers would rattle, "If it can be folded, my lord, your leg will be enough for half an hour if I borrow it from my minister."

foot?What the feet can do.

Although Xue Jiuyao's request was a bit strange, it didn't look difficult.But Gu Yuanbai knew that he must have bad intentions, so he didn't want to talk to him, and when he closed his eyes, he wanted to instruct him to warm the bed and leave quickly.

As soon as Xue Yuan uttered these words, he became excited himself, he bent down and coaxed in the Holy Majesty's ear: "Holy Majesty, if you can't break it off, I will listen to you, and I will do whatever you want me to do. "

Gu Yuanbai asked back: "What do I ask you to do now, why don't you do it?"

Xue Yuan choked, and said honestly: "Do it."

Gu Yuanbai rolled his eyes and continued to fall asleep.But Xue Yuan was really annoying, he kept talking in his ear, Gu Yuanbai couldn't bear it anymore, "Then you go break it!"

Xue Yuan turned over quickly and got out of bed, turned around and ran away.There was another flash of lightning and thunder outside the window, and Gu Yuanbai sat up "squeakingly", his expression suddenly changed, "Xue Jiuyao!"

The lights were lit inside and outside the house, and the palace people were in a hurry, but before Gu Yuanbai let anyone call for the desperate Xue Yuan, a guard outside pressed a man to approach him. Body shape, wrapped in thick moisture in the rain curtain, the guard whispered: "Your Majesty, this man came in the middle of the night and asked to see His Majesty outside."

The Holy One wore regular clothes and did not reveal his identity.But this person exposed it with one word, and the guards did not dare to delay, and immediately brought them to the Holy One.

Gu Yuanbai cast a gloomy glance at the majestic rain through the man's shoulder, "Come in."

The man in coir raincoat walked into the side room, his voice was deliberately low and hoarse: "Your Majesty, it's better to wave away the outsiders."

Gu Yuanbai said coldly, "Say it."

The coir raincoat man paused, then reached out to take off the coir raincoat. With a "bang", white light pierced the sky, illuminating the face of the man in coir raincoat.

Ordinary, with a sallow face and a bit of wind-cold disease, it is Li Angyi, the second prince of Xixia.

Li Angyi looked straight at the Emperor of Daheng, and as expected, Emperor Daheng's complexion suddenly changed, he stood up and walked towards Li Angyi.Li Angyi was about to smile slightly, but the Emperor Daheng walked past him, opened the door and shouted, "Xue Jiuyao, just die on the tree!"

After yelling a sentence, cold air rushed in down his throat, Gu Yuanbai coughed a few times covering his chest, closed the door, and sat back coughing muffled.

Li Angyi said: "You are not surprised at all."

Gu Yuanbai took a sip of warm tea to relax, and the corner of his eye swept past him calmly, "Second Prince Xixia, I have been waiting for you for a long time."

Li Angyi frowned, sighed and leaned over to salute, "Then you must already know why I came here this time."

Gu Yuanbai smiled, "Can you also represent Xixia?"

Li Angyi smiled wryly, "That depends on whether you want me to represent Xixia."

Gu Yuanbai asked someone to make a new cup of tea slowly, and asked, "Where do the spices come from?"

Li Angyi said: "Daheng people."

Gu Yuanbai suddenly turned his head to look at him, his eyes devouring.

Li Angyi paused, looked at him and said word by word: "A Daheng man from Fusang."

As soon as the door was opened, the cold outside was blown in by the wind and rain.The man in the coir raincoat took a step outside, coughed twice, and said in a low voice that was ugly and weak: "No matter how good my body is, I'm going to be exhausted in the past month. I hope you can spare me and let the wind chill a little bit." See you in good spirits."

Gu Yuanbai's tone was moody: "Don't worry, after another month, you will be fine even if you are not well."

The man in the coir raincoat stopped talking, and left in a hurry in the wind and rain with his head down.

The door was open, and the palace attendant stepped forward to close it.Gu Yuanbai's face also sank suddenly, as if a storm was approaching, concentrating on the calm before the final storm.

He thought a lot, no one knew what he was thinking.In the end, Gu Yuanbai had restrained the expression on his face, lowered his eyes calmly, and quietly sipped the warm tea in the teacup.

Fusang is currently in a feudal society, so it should have been extremely backward.

"Tian Fusheng," the Holy Majesty said calmly, "On my Longevity Day, how many things did Fusang send?"

Tian Fusheng cheered up and said, "I remember it clearly. On the Longevity Day of the Holy Majesty, the congratulatory gifts from Xixia and Fusang were the heaviest, and the most precious thing inside was..."

He talked for a long time in one breath, every item in the congratulatory gift was very precious and rare.Gu Yuanbai closed his eyes and suddenly sighed.

The hateful flaw had already appeared in the front, but it was only at this time that he realized that something was wrong.

But where did Fusang come from so many spices, where did so many raw materials come from?

Could their land grow such an addiction, produce so many spices in mass quantities?Even if there are so many spices, who is Fusang lurking in Xixia to sell spices and trade them?Who helped Fusang spread spices in such a large area in Xixia?And who is so ambitious and wants to take the opportunity to invade Daheng?

Conversations flashed through my mind over and over again.

The second prince of Xixia said sincerely: "After I knew the harm of spices, Xixia has become addicted to the spice of Fusang. I can't turn the whole situation around by myself, so I have to lurk in secret and look for opportunities. Your Majesty should also know about me. This kind of situation and mood, if you don’t have the ability, then you can only treat it as invisible.”

What a second prince who endured humiliation and loved the country and the people.

Gu Yuanbai said: "Tian Fusheng, do you believe what the second prince of Xixia said?"

Tian Fusheng shook his head cautiously: "The second prince of Xixia has been hiding for many years, and he pretends to be too harmless on weekdays. Even the youngest people think that they can't believe everything that such a person says."

"You don't even believe him, and he still counts on me to believe you?" Gu Yuanbai sneered, "Seven parts of what he said was true and three parts were false. One part is missing here, and one part is missing there. This is a lie that no one will be able to discover."

He stood up, walked to the window, looked sideways into the courtyard, and saw a tall black shadow running towards the wing room.The long legs were striding fast, suppressing the excitement that could not be suppressed no matter what.

Gu Yuanbai's mind flashed, and he suddenly thought of Xixia's straightforward attitude when he made an apology to Daheng.

Could it be that these things were paid for by Fusang?
