Daiyu of the Rebirth of the Red Chamber

"...can you ask the general why?" the messenger asked.

"If he wants to go back, he can go back! Big eagles should fly on the clouds, fish should flow in the water, and cattle and sheep should graze on the grasslands, right?" Yun Jian said with a pun.

The messenger wanted to be right, but that would be tantamount to admitting Yun Jian's subtext: People on the grasslands should stop coveting the Central Plains!

The messenger wanted to say it was wrong, but he didn't have the eloquence to refute.

He had no choice but to smile dryly, and continued on to the main topic: this joint control of sandstorms...

Yun Jian said that he would definitely convey it to the emperor.

Although Jincheng was not recovered at this time, the situation around the capital has calmed down.The four-way army encircled and suppressed Jincheng, and it took only a few minutes to get it back.Yunjian didn't continue to go south, but stayed in the east of Weicheng.The proposal of Beihu messenger, Yunjian forwarded it to Cui Heng intact, Cui Heng smiled and approved: "It is negotiable for them to become ministers and year-old tribute."

All these put Cui Heng in a good mood.

The second prince said that when the difficulties pass, the national power will be more prosperous, what a good word!Cui Heng gave a special commendation to the second prince.

Of course, the Empress Dowager's fast is over.On the last day, in order to celebrate the national happy event, the Three Emperors tried to rehearse a Buddha dance. As for falling a tear.

After the dance, Cui Heng knocked on the steps to respectfully invite the Queen Mother to return to the palace and start a nourishing diet.The separation between mother and child has come to an end.The matter of Die Xiaohua, as if it had never happened, was gently overturned.

Even the other "Ah Handa" who were arrested, that is, Qiu Huitian and the others, were no longer mentioned between the emperor and the queen mother.It's as if these people never existed.

In fact, Cui Heng already knew that it was a mistake to arrest them.They are not salt sellers themselves, let alone robbers.It's just working with robbers in a firm... Baisha is in nirvana, and black with him.Who told them to mix together!Grab it and grab it.

At that time, he still wanted to keep this group of people and threaten Lin Dai to submit, let alone let them go.

Later, he was not interested in Lin Dai, but Die Xiaohua pleaded for him again, so he thought about letting him go, right?As a result, Die Xiaohua was chased away by the Queen Mother!While Cui Heng had a cold war with the Queen Mother, he left those people alone.

As far as the queen mother is concerned, she doesn't feel that she has done anything wrong.Cui Heng is the emperor!Can play with women, but can sleep with actors?Not to mention that the Seventh Prince is also sleeping.Can the emperor be the same as the seventh prince?What's more, the Seventh Prince is still in good health now!

In short.The queen mother gritted her teeth and made up her mind: that actor must be killed!What a disaster for the country.

besides.The group of shop assistants locked in the prison are all stains on the emperor's holy name and must be washed away.

The queen mother felt that killing was the cleanest way to cleanse.

Who knew when they were taken out to beheaded.They were rescued by someone from prison?

The queen mother thought it was the emperor who did it.Regret in my heart.But Cui Heng didn't expose it to her on the surface, she had the overall situation in mind, so she had no choice but to pretend that it didn't matter.

Who knew that Cui Heng was also wronged!Cui Heng didn't send anyone to rob the prison!

When Cui Heng learned the information, that is, the group of shop assistants disappeared. The word "disappear" is really remarkable.The meaning behind it is too rich.Cui Heng's brain is too big.I thought it was the queen mother who did it.But the Empress Dowager did not make it clear on the surface, Cui Heng put the overall situation first.I had to pretend it didn't happen.

Even Die Xiaohua's whereabouts were no longer mentioned among the emperor and empress, as if he had never appeared in the world.

In fact, Wanliu not only helps Yunjian keep the tiger talisman, but also helps him keep the butterfly.

That half piece of Tiger Talisman is fine.No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like a foot has been cut off.

well!Isn't it just a tiger carved in wood?If it weren't for the half of the emperor's side and the half of Yunjian's side together, who would be able to tell that this half is not the other half?Zhang Shenxian found another piece of wood to cut a tiger's foot.Take it to the barracks, and those Beihu also took it seriously!Brain is really not enough.

Speaking of which, who can be more cunning than the Central Plains people?

The cunning of these outsiders.Thinking of himself, it was as clear as writing on his face with a pen: "I've turned another corner here! Wow, I'm awesome!"

When they think so.The Central Plains people have already turned all the nine bends and eighteen turns.

In short, Yunjian is temporarily stranded in the east of Weicheng.With the grace of the emperor, some soldiers can go home for the New Year.But Yunjian himself is not easy to return.The general who leads the troops on the frontier!The military situation does not pick festivals, which is also difficult.The emperor specially sent someone to comfort Yunjian and made some promises.Yun Jian replied in unison: The man's ambition is everywhere!Protecting the frontier for the country is a supreme honor!That's nothing... But if you have good wine, you can send more.

The emperor laughed when he heard this.

The queen mother wondered: should I tell the emperor that Die Xiaohua is actually at Xie Yunjian's place?The people around Xie Yunjian even killed the expert she sent!

Sigh, forget it, the emperor finally didn't mention that actor, why did she bring it up?What's more, if there are suspicions and conflicts between the emperor and the general stationed at the border, it will not be good for the overall situation!

She held back.

The weather is getting colder every day, and the New Year's Eve is approaching.

Han people are busy.The soldiers are also busy.The Lunar New Year of the Rong people is different from that of the Han people in the Central Plains. It is always lively. One of the most important things is that every family has to post pictures dedicated to the gods.

Xirong has a lot of gold, silver and jewelry, and their customs are especially good for decoration.Those tables and basins can be painted in detail, similar to the cloisonne in the Central Plains, or Suzhou embroidery.But imagine that all the fine needles and fine coins of Suzhou embroidery are made of gold and silver, and the color on the cloisonné is not limited to blue, but it is filled with various gemstones ground into color powder.You just know how regal that is!

However, these exquisite vases and basins are not for daily use, they are only used for offering to gods.Below the gods, the palace of King Rong can also be decorated.Further down, the mansions of princes and marquises can also use lower quality ones.It will not work any further.

Ordinary people also bought these treasures, and even made them by themselves, but they were not for daily use, and they were only offered to gods.

Their altar was done resplendently.During the Chinese New Year, it is a festival to honor their gods of war, and everything that is good is displayed and posted.The paintings used in it, think about it, can it be worse?

It really needs to be as bright as it can be, and as rich as it can be!

This year, many families posted some new words and said: "Di Qiu Kou replace Yan Qiu Ni!"

It means: daily blessings accumulate into eternal blessings.

They fill in a piece of colorful gold and silver colors every day, and finally complete the New Year's painting.

——Hey, fill in a little bit every day, does it sound familiar?

That's right!Ah Han's main coloring picture looks like this!First print the outline of the painting, and then let the customer fill in the color by himself.There are also some auspicious words in the color box, which will be revealed after the color is used up.These words can be picked out and pasted on the picture to become couplets, titles, and annotations.

This new idea, with a facelift, entered Xirong and was very popular.

The paintings of the Rong people are indeed too particular, too time-consuming to make and too expensive to sell.Ordinary Rong people want to paint by themselves, but they are afraid that the painting will not be good.

Semi-finished "coloring pictures" are very popular.

It's just that for Xirong, these paints for painting are even more expensive.They use color, don’t use flowers to squeeze out juice, grass to squeeze out juice, or even fish and insects to squeeze out juice... Those things are not enough to worship God!

What they pay attention to is gold and silver, as well as gemstones of various colors.Gold is gold, silver is silver, needless to say, there are rubies that are ground into red powder, lapis lazuli into green powder, and so on.

Ordinary people use the full eight-treasure color system, but if they can’t afford it, they use metal powder mixed with some other ore powder. It is not so expensive, but it can be used.And at any rate, there is some real money... It is said.

For such a set of drawing tools, the price has skyrocketed!

Soldiers and civilians still think it is cheap and cost-effective!

They can paint by themselves, which saves the painting labor.Originally, they were worried that their drawings would be ugly, but the outlines of the coloring sheets have been drawn, the toners have been adjusted and marked, so they can draw by themselves!

The ore powder for these coloring pictures is mass-produced, and the price is also affordable.

This group, Yunke and the others made a lot of money——

Oh yes, Yunke!

When Xirong and Beihu attacked the Central Plains, Yunke and Qingqiao were right behind the army.The territory laid down by the army, Yun Ke went to be the chief.Enter someone's mansion, sit on someone's bed, open someone's box, look at the gold, silver and jewelry that they haven't had time to take away, and say to Qingqiao with emotion: "Oh, I'm an official too."

"Win the monkey and get crowned." Qingqiao laughed at him.

"You can also speak idioms." Yun Ke felt very relieved.

The two teased for a while, Qingqiao said: "Look at our pair of dogs."

"Hi." Yun Ke protested.

"Who told us to join the army?" Qingqiao shrugged.

"Who told Boss Die to be so powerful and just happened to be discovered by us?" Yun Ke was also helpless.

It was when Die Xiaohua blatantly sold private salt to Xirong, and had a heated fight with fellow soldiers through business negotiations, passed on a lot of information and made plans, Yun Ke saw that this was not an ordinary business relationship.In fact, Ahu and his wife also saw it.But they were so close that they didn't expose it.Besides, they are too single-minded. If they really know the truth, they will be dumbfounded. How can they know what to do?

Yun Ke knew what to do.He took this important handle, and if he used it well, he would be promoted to an official position, and if he used it badly, he would hurt his life.He is very smart, of course he knows the trade-offs!

Die Xiaohua used him.

When the Rong people marched, he could follow behind to pick up cheap ones.

Even before the Rong people sent their troops, he went to Weicheng and other places to dig mines, report newspapers, and confuse people's hearts.After the Rong people gained power, he could be allocated fat and vacancies.

"It caused you to bear a bad name," Yun Ke said to Qingqiao apologetically, "What should I do?" L
