Nine thousand years old [rebirth]

Although the betting contract was only a verbal agreement, it was made in public by the royal families of the Three Kingdoms.Even if Aharu is reluctant, he cannot go back on his word.

After the final discussion, it was decided that Wala and Tatar would each pay [-] war horses, including [-] male horses and [-] mares.The remaining amount will be collected after the Dayan New Year and then made up by tribute.

The sum of the tribute paid by the two countries is a total of [-] war horses.

Converted into silver taels, there are millions of taels!If this is included in the military purchases, I don't know how long it will take to argue with the Ministry of War.

But now it's all free money!

The grey-bearded Minister of the Taipu Si laughed so hard that his teeth could not see his eyes, and he squeezed into the Tatar and Oirat missions with a wine glass, pulling the other side to discuss the process of handing over the horses.Discussion alone was not enough, and people brought paper and pens on the spot, and signed a contract.

Not only is the current horse promised to be delivered as soon as possible, but even the number of horses and the approximate date to be replenished after the year are written into the deed, which looks like it is afraid that the Tatars and Oara will renege on their debts.

When the Tatar envoys and Oirat envoys were erected to stamp on the deed, their faces were green.

The ranking of hunting has been determined, and the winter hunting of red rhinoceros is coming to an end.

After some preparations, the team set off for Beijing on the first day of December.

According to the usual practice, the envoys of the two countries should leave after the winter hunting, but this year Tatar will marry Dayan. In order to discuss the details of the marriage, Aharu and his party did not return to Tatar immediately, but returned to Wangjing together.

What Wala said this time is also stealing chickens and losing a lot of rice. The wound on Mubar's head has not healed yet, and he is unwilling to reconcile, so he also stays.

So the team returning to Beijing was even more powerful than when they came. They traveled on the road for three days before arriving in the capital.

Emperor Longfeng caught wind and cold on the way, and after arriving in Beijing, he drove directly back to Qianqing Palace, and handed over the reception of Wala and Tatars to Yin Chengyu.

Just before leaving, let Gao Xian call Xue Shu away.

When Gao Xian came, his face was stretched, and his voice was much sharper than usual because he was unwilling: "Xue Shu, Your Majesty has summoned you, come with us."

Xue Shu glanced at him coldly, opened the curtain and talked to Yin Chengyu, then jumped out of the carriage and followed him to meet Emperor Longfeng.

Emperor Longfeng was sick and in poor health. Except for the imperial physician, no one else was seen these days.

Xue Shu walked to the side of the carriage and saluted through the curtain.

Emperor Longfeng in the carriage didn't make a sound, he raised his eyebrows, guessing what happened to Emperor Longfeng's illness.

Go all the way to Qianqing Palace.

Some eunuchs and female officials moved cotton curtains early to block the cold wind before Emperor Longfeng was helped down from the carriage.

Xue Shu noticed that he had added a lot of white hair to his hair, his not very tall body was slightly arched, and he was not energetic. He looked at least ten years older than before.

It didn't look like he was suffering from a cold, but rather he was suffering from other diseases.

Xue Shu thought of the things that Emperor Longfeng had been fed in the past six months, his eyes flashed with waves, and he quickly calmed down again.

Emperor Longfeng shouted and rushed into the Qianqing Palace.The earth dragon in the hall was very hot, so he took off the thick fox fur that was wrapped in him, and after serving the maid, he drank the decoction and rinsed his mouth before looking at Xue Shu who was quietly waiting by the side.

He looked at the person carefully for a long time, and then he dragged his tone and asked: "Do you know why I announced you to come?"

"I don't know."

Emperor Longfeng laughed, but stopped talking about it, and asked again: "Before I asked you to serve in Ciqing Palace, do you have any resentment in your heart?"

"There was no resentment."

"Is it not, or dare not have?" Emperor Longfeng smiled, leaned forward a little, and stared at him with a pair of cloudy eyes for a moment, as if he wanted to see through him.

"Thunder, rain and dew are all the grace of the king, and I have never felt any resentment." Xue Shu looked at him, his eyes were open and fearless.

Only then was Emperor Longfeng satisfied, and he stopped pressing questions, and softened his tone: "You have done a great job in saving him in the paddock, is there any reward you want?"

Xue Shu shook his head and said no: "Escorting is the duty of a minister, and I dare not talk about rewards."

These words obviously made Emperor Longfeng more satisfied, a smile appeared on his aging face again, and his expression became much calmer: "You are straight."

Last time he summoned Xue Shu and asked him about risking his life to save the prince.

At that time, Xue Shu did not defend himself, he only felt that Xue Shu, like everyone else, was still drawn over by the prince.In addition, his attitude was disrespectful, so he got angry, took his official position, and sent him to Ciqing Palace to do odd jobs and reflect.

But after going through the paddock to rescue him, he felt that Xue Shu risked his life to save the prince during the Qingzhou earthquake, not necessarily because he was close to the prince, but because of his duty.

Otherwise, when he encountered a tiger in the paddock that day, even the Jin Yiwei accompanying him would not be able to react in time, so he would not have to take the risk of saving him.

Emperor Longfeng supported his knees with his hands, his doubts had already been dispelled, and he was thinking about the arrangement for Xue Shu.

Xue Shu is capable and has no complicated forces behind him. He is still an eunuch.If you want to gain a foothold in the palace, you can only be loyal to him.Although his temperament is a bit unruly, he does not take advantage of the situation to be rampant.He is also a loyal and straightforward person, with a simple and clear mind, and he is more at ease in handling things than Gao Xian and others.

At least in times of distress, he will come to the rescue regardless of safety.

After some thought, Emperor Longfeng quickly made a decision: "Although you don't want rewards, I have always rewarded and punished clearly. Gao Yuan committed a crime, and the Rites Supervisor is short of a eunuch with a pen, and you will fill it in. The post of Admiral of the East Factory It also hangs in the air for a long time, and you will also receive it."

"Give me a boa robe again, a hundred taels of gold." Seeing Xue Shu's calm face, he was more and more satisfied with his disposition, and he comforted him, "Do a good job in the future, don't let me down."

All this is exactly as Xue Shu expected.

As early as when Emperor Longfeng demoted him to Ciqing Palace, he had already paved the way back.

It's just that when this day really came, I was still a little unhappy when I thought that I would no longer be able to serve in Ciqing Palace in the future.

Xue Shu hid the hostility between his brows and eyes well, and thanked him.

Emperor Longfeng was tired after talking with him for a while, and said: "You go and hand over the errands first, and then you will be on duty in the Supervisor of Rituals in three days."

After speaking, he waved his hand to signal him to back down.

After Xue Shu bowed and saluted, he retreated.When he stepped out of the palace gate, he saw Hou Gaoxian outside the palace.

Gao Xian also saw him, but rarely said a word, his face was very ugly, obviously he already knew the news.

Xue Shu glanced at him, raised his eyebrows, and cupped his hands: "Gao's palm print, please take care of me in the future."

Gao Xian had been staring at the position of the admiral of the East Factory for a long time, and had already figured out which godson to fill the vacancy, but he never expected that Xue Shu would cut him off.

This not only means that Dongchang will fall into Xue Shu's hands in the future.It also means that Emperor Longfeng trusts Xue Shu more than him.

Gao Xian almost gritted his teeth, but Xue Shu was in the limelight, he had to avoid the edge for a while, and could only bow his hands with a smile on his face: "Congratulations, Governor Xue."

Xue Shu glanced at him, did not respond, and walked into the snowstorm.

Within half a day, news of Xue Shu's recovery spread.

When Xue Shu went to the West Factory, Zhao Youwei, the governor of the West Factory, came out to welcome him when he heard the news, his face was wrinkled all over his smile, like a fat white bun.

The West Factory has been suppressed by the East Factory for many years and has not been taken seriously.Zhao Youwei, the governor, has not made any achievements in these years, so he is vigorously on the three-acre land of Xichang.Later, Xue Shu took over Xichang, handled a few beautiful cases, and transferred staff from the Yuma Supervisor, so Xichang took on a certain appearance.

Although Zhao Youwei was greedy, he was also afraid of Xue Shu, and did not dare to blatantly fight for power.

It wasn't until Xue Shu was dismissed by Emperor Longfeng and went to Ciqing Palace to do odd jobs that he dared to seize power arbitrarily, gathered all the traitors under Xue Shu's hands, and really shook the prestige of the governor of the West Factory.

It's just that I never expected that Xue Shu would recover again in only three months!

He was also promoted to the governor of the East Factory.

Not only Zhao Youwei, but also other people who had worked under Xue Shu before and then took refuge in Zhao Youwei were panicked when they heard the news.

Zhao Youwei bowed and followed Xue Shu's side, tentatively asking: "Did Master Xue come back to pack things?"

Although they are both admirals of the first factory, the power of the East Factory is much greater than that of the West Factory.The situation was stronger than others, so Zhao Youwei had to honestly pretend to be his grandson.

Xue Shu walked to the study room, turned around to look at him and the panic-stricken servants, the corners of his lips curled up coldly, and said slowly: "Although His Majesty let our family take the post of the East Factory, sooner or later the West Factory Listen to our family, where do you live? There is no need to clean up."

He retracted his gaze, and his eyes slanted towards Zhao Youwei, who had a stiff face, hiding a chill: "What do Governor Zhao think?"

The smile on Zhao Youwei's face was almost unbearable, so he could only stammer and say: "Master Xue is right."

Xue Shu nodded in satisfaction, opened the door and entered the room: "Tell Wei Xihe and Cui Cilai."

Zhao Youwei still wanted to follow, but was almost hit on the bridge of the nose by the closed door.

He stopped in front of the closed door, his expression changed several times, and he obediently passed on the message after all.

The fanboys who saw this scene exchanged glances, some were happy while others were sad.

The weather in Xichang might change again.

Xue Shu summoned Wei Xihe and Cui Cilai, and after hearing what had happened in the East and West factories and the palace these days, he ordered them to go to the East Factory to investigate the details of Qianhu, Baihu and several stalls in Dongchang.

Gao Xian has painstakingly managed the East Factory for many years. Although Gao Yuan is gone, the East Factory is full of his confidants, and his power should not be underestimated.Although Xue Shu got the order of Emperor Longfeng to take over Dongchang, it took some effort to completely hold Dongchang in his hands.

In his last life, he had been working in Xichang.Later, the West Factory handled several beautiful cases, and after it became more and more powerful, it continued to suppress the East Factory until it was brought under its control.

At that time, Cui Ci was in charge of Dongchang, but he had never been in charge of Dongchang himself.

But now it's not too difficult, it just takes some time.

Compared with how to take over Dongchang, Xue Shu is more worried that he will not be able to freely enter and exit the Ciqing Palace in the future.

After arranging the matter properly and dismissing Wei Xihe and Cui Ci, Xue Shu glanced at the sky outside before getting up and going to Ciqing Palace.

It was already past the time of Haishi, and the sky and the earth were filled with thick ink, only the lantern in his hand shimmered and was swayed by the wind and snow.

Xue Shu entered the Linzhi Gate and ran into Zheng Duobao who was going out.

Seeing that he said "Congratulations" first, Zheng Duobao guessed that he probably came to seek His Highness' return, so he reminded: "Your Highness is still in Hongren Hall."

Xue Shu thanked him and went to Hongren Hall.

Yin Chengyu was reading a book under the lamp.The hair crown was untied, and the long black hair was half scattered on the shoulders. The feet in white socks were stepping on the belly of the rounder tiger cub. When he heard the footsteps, he looked up at the door: "Here we come."

Hearing this tone, it seemed that she was waiting for him.

Xue Shu stepped forward and frowned when he saw the cub with its belly upturned. He picked up the cub and threw it aside. He knelt down on one knee, put Yin Chengyu's feet into his arms and covered them properly. with.

"After working hard for several days on the road, why doesn't Your Highness go to rest?"

Seeing his movements, Yin Chengyu raised his eyebrows, but he didn't reprimand him. He just pressed his cold feet closer to absorb the warmth: "I heard that Father has transferred you to Dongchang?" He smiled and looked at him. The man moved his toes: "Congratulations to Governor Xue first."

The call "Master Xue" is very meaningful.

In the last life, he called him like this.

Xue Shu held down his foot to keep him from moving.Staring straight at him, he said: "In the future, I will no longer be able to serve Your Highness every day." With a pair of slanting sword eyebrows furrowed, he finally confided in his heart: "If it is not for the big things, I would rather stay By Your Highness' side."

Yin Chengyu stared at him, and said with a smile, "no prospect".

"The eunuch holding the pen of the inspector of ceremonies, one step further, is the eunuch with palm prints." He stared at Xue Shu, and traced the flying fish pattern on his robe with his fingertips: "The python robe, the inner palace in the palm. Who wouldn't want that?" To be the nine thousand years old who is under one person and above ten thousand?"

His bright red lips were raised, and there was no expression of joy or anger on his face, and his tone was light and airy, as if he was asking about the present, but also about the past.

Xue Shu held his fingertips, without any hesitation in his tone: "I just want to be above one."

Yin Chengyu looked into his eyes, and saw his own figure inside.

He withdrew his hand, and suddenly laughed: "Master Xue's ambition is too big."

Xue Shu pursed his lips and looked at him without refuting.

In his past and present lives, what he plotted against was only this one person.

It can be said that he has little ambition, and it can also be said that he has great ambition.

All I want in my life is to embrace the moon for nine days.

Seeing that he was silent, Yin Chengyu picked up the cub who was spinning around at his feet, kicked him with his toes, and said, "That's all, you're only good enough. Put on the shoes for Gu, and I want to go back The dormitory is resting."

The author has something to say:

The big dog hooks; I don't want to be nine thousand years old, I just want to be His Highness Lao Gong.
