Reincarnation of the powerful minister

Chapter 140

Su Yan looked at the clothes hanger in the hall. A dragon robe was hanging upright on the rack with its sleeves hanging down.

It was a ochre-yellow long-lane straight body with cloud shoulders and sleeves. It was not only an auspicious dress, but also a common dress for Yumen when he was in charge of politics.There are two dragons on the robe, one blue and one gold, climbing over the shoulders and crossing the back, as if meeting each other and playing with pearls by chance. The collar of the cross collar and the knees of the hem of the clothes are all woven with clouds, dragons and sea patterns. Without losing the dignity.

This is not a replica locked in the glass window of the museum in later generations, but the real dragon robe of the emperor. It is hung in the same way, and the pictures of the two generations overlap in a trance.Su Yan walked over with emotion, and was about to reach out to take it off, when he found that his hands were covered with ointment, subconsciously looked back at the emperor, and asked for help: "My lord, I have ointment on my hands..."

Emperor Jing Long nodded: "So you have to be careful, if you rub a dirty dragon robe, it is a death penalty for disrespect."

Su Yan was taken aback. Seeing the calm expression on the emperor's face, he was a little uncertain whether he was telling the truth or joking, so he thought about clipping off the dragon robe with his wrist, hanging it on his shoulders and arms, and walked back cautiously.

The emperor looked at it with a half-smile, and stretched his arms, waiting for him to get dressed.

While Su Yan had to be careful not to rub the ointment on the dragon robe, he struggled to put the sleeves on, his movements were childish, and he would miss it from time to time and have to start all over again.

The emperor stretched out his arms patiently, and watched him approaching him with great interest, tossing back and forth, even the high-pitched and endless recitation outside the hall was no longer annoying.

Su Yan managed to put on two tubes of long sleeves for the emperor with great difficulty, and covered the front of the skirt to his ribs, and then began to encounter difficulties again——

There is a pair of r-belts on the inside of the right side, and two pairs of r-belts on the left side, all of which must be fastened.I can't use my ten fingers flexibly, let alone a bow tie, and I can't even tie the simplest knot, what should I do?

Su Yan looked up at the emperor in embarrassment.

Emperor Jinglong remained calm.

Su Yan showed grievances in his eyes.

The emperor appreciated it enough, and mercifully pointed out: "Use your mouth."

Why do these two words sound so evil... Under the irresistible gaze of the other party, Su Yan had no choice but to squat down, put his face to the emperor's waist, and tried to tie the knot with his lips and teeth.

It's a pity that the soft string is not as easy to knot as a cherry stem, nor can it be bitten whole into the mouth.He worked hard for a long time, his tongue was sore, and his body fluid wet the lace, so he could barely fasten one side indiscriminately.There are two pairs on the other side, which can't be fastened.

The emperor looked down at the busy head arching around his waist, and stroked his well-combed black hair, half indulging and half teasing: "I told you not to rub it dirty, it's good for you, it's wet."

The emperor was obviously entertaining him, but Su Yan got angry, spat out the tape, and said angrily: "I am incompetent, please punish the emperor!"

"Where are you punished?" The emperor asked back.

hand?No, the hand is the hero.Teeth and tongue?Sounds weird...wait, I can't get around him!Su Yan came to his senses, and replied stiffly: "The minister has more than enough heart but not enough strength, let's punish the crime of strength!"

The emperor laughed loudly.

It has been nearly a year since Su Yan first faced the emperor in the palace examination, and he has never seen Emperor Jing Long smile so wantonly.This emperor who is known for his elegant appearance, he has seen his indifferent smile, reserved smile, satisfied smile, mocking smile, confident smile, meaningful smile... only he has never seen such a comfortable smile Laugh happily.Suddenly, it was like a gust of wind, shaking off all the years of dust on his clothes.

Before Su Yan could see enough, the emperor restrained his laughter and returned to his dignified and dignified appearance.

The emperor picked up the wet belt around his waist and tightened it himself. Even if his fingers were stained with the saliva left by Su Yan, he showed no sign of disgust.In the end, wearing the Wusha Yishan crown of Ssangyong Diancui, it looks like an emperor again.

He sat on the rose chair next to the square table, pointed to the other one across the table, and motioned for Su Yan to sit too.

Su Yan thanked her and sat down, knowing that it was time to talk about business.The recitation outside was still going on, and the emperor didn't seem to want to call it a stop. He wanted to ask for a favor for the prince, so he said first: "It's cold, and it's snowing. His Highness is afraid of the wind and cold in the courtyard. Why don't the emperor order him to go back to the East Palace first?"

The emperor glanced at the gate of the palace, raised his eyebrows and said: "I ordered him to return, and he will not return. Since you are not at ease, if you want to recite the book, just recite it. Anyway, from childhood to adulthood, the skin is very strong, and it is not so easy to get sick. .”

Su Yan couldn't help laughing when he heard Emperor Jing Long talk about his son, who was no different from an ordinary father.

In the court, more than a dozen servants surrounded the prince and acted as a human screen for him.Cheng Sheng wraps the fox fur around the Prince's body, and Fu Bao hands him red dates and ginger soup.Zhu Helin's throat was dry, he tilted his head and took a sip of the hot soup, and continued to recite aloud, vowing not to stop until he recited Su Yan from his father's bedroom intact.

In the palace, Su Yan reported to the emperor what he saw, heard, felt during his trip to Shaanxi, and the policies he implemented in an orderly and concise manner.

The emperor listened carefully and didn't interrupt casually. He didn't point out his doubts until he had finished speaking, and asked him to explain them one by one.

The two talked for less than half an hour, and finally decided to continue to implement the new policy in the next few years. After the initial results, it will be gradually implemented in the capital, Shanxi, Liaodong and other places, and the policy of the official priests of the two temples will be completely reformed.If in the future the official herdsmen can meet the supply needs of war horses, and the abolition of the folk herdsmen who have caused extra burdens to the people can be put on the agenda, then the opposition from the government and the opposition will be much smaller.Those old stubborn clinging to the ancestral system will eventually be defeated by the huge national interests.

According to Su Yan's estimation, the new policies for officials and herdsmen in Shaanxi can achieve the expected goals in five to eight years, and the new policies for various regions that will be implemented later will be fully successful in ten years.

The premise is that the emperor's support cannot be shaken, otherwise he will be the fate of Wang Anshi - Su Yan didn't say the second half of the sentence, but Emperor Jinglong understood it.

Emperor Jinglong said solemnly: "As long as I am in power, I will take care of it for a day. Your Heavenly Jade Pillar, when I am gone in the future, will also write this policy into the will, so that the successor will inherit it."

"The emperor will live forever, what are you talking about! Bah, bah!" Su Yan thought of the prophecy, his heart beat wildly, and he called out impolitely.

The emperor didn't blame him for his trivial responsibility, but shook his head and said, "I'm getting old."

Su Yan muttered softly: "According to the age divisions determined by the United Nations World Health Organization, 15 to 44 years old are considered youths, the emperor is still in the middle of youths! How old are you?"

This is the most attractive age for mature men. Successful people in their 40s and 1s without a family will be called golden bachelors and diamond kings in later generations.In his opinion, it is appropriate for Emperor Jinglong of Hyundai to occupy the TOP[-] diamond list.

The emperor didn't find out which country the "United Nations" he was talking about was, but he felt the word "youth" was very pleasant to his ears. He couldn't help smiling, and said with emotion: "It is rare to live at seventy since ancient times. Longevity Day on the fourteenth day of the lunar month, I'm already halfway through."

Longevity Day is the emperor's birthday, and it is a big festival celebrated by the whole country.Su Yan thought for a while, and said: "I originally wanted to go to Shaanxi after the new year, and consolidate the new policy for a period of time. In the future, it would be safer for the emperor to send other special managers to recruit the censor, or a new governor to take over. Then Just wait until the beginning of March, after the Wanshou Festival."

The emperor said lightly: "In early March, spring is expected to be cold, so it's better to start again in April."

Su Yan blinked: "April is the end of the world, and it will be summer again if you delay, I should go back early."

The emperor looked at his face and remained silent, acquiescing.

Su Yan thought of something, and asked again: "What happened to the court this morning?" Otherwise, why did the emperor have a severe headache when he came to court?

Emperor Jinglong's expression was serious.

Su Yan guessed: "It's Oara... about Prince Kunle? Hu Kuoli can't wait for an answer, so he wants to attack?"

"The Oala envoy promised to wait for a month, and I will give them a satisfactory explanation after I make an order to investigate the case in Shaanxi." The emperor said, "It was the Datong frontier guard who sent a secret report saying that they had confronted the Tatar cavalry not long ago. , captured a group of Tatars, and accidentally discovered that their identities were strange. After a thorough investigation by the commander of Shanxi, they found that these were indeed not Tatars, but Oirats."

The emperor snorted coldly: "On the surface, the Wara tribe earnestly hopes to form an alliance with our Great Ming. The leader Hu Kuoli made a generous statement to the envoy, enumerating the evil deeds of the Tatars against his tribe, and his attitude in the reply letter was as honest as a courtier. They have colluded with the Tatars behind their backs, the plan is extraordinary! What a good plan."

Su Yan suddenly said: "So it's here!"

The emperor was a little surprised: "Qinghe also knows about this?"

"Not only do I know, but I also suspect that this is a game within a game."

When Su Yan talked about the fake tattoos and the Heiduo witch, Emperor Jing Long also felt that there might be a real connection between the two, and pondered: "In this way, the leader of Oara may be a member of the conspirators, and he may not know about it. , was deceived and designed by Heiduo. So behind Heiduo, what kind of force and role is it?"

"This minister can't guess. The immediate priority is the life and death of Prince Kunle. If he really died at the hands of Heiduo, how can we convince Hu Kuoli?"

The emperor nodded: "For this matter, I will send another envoy to meet Hu Kuoli secretly with a secret letter. As for the letter of credence brought back by the Oara envoy, I will also choose the words carefully, so as to paralyze Heiduo and make him think it is a trick smoothly."

Su Yan hesitated for a moment before asking: "Yan Chengxue and Huo Dun, the emperor plans to..."

Emperor Jinglong said: "Escort him back to Beijing first, and send him to imperial prison."

Su Yan could not see a clear attitude from his expression.Perhaps the emperor believed that Yan and Huo were innocent in this case, and planned to take them into custody first, and punish them for crimes of violating the law and discipline in the future; or maybe he had the intention of abandoning his soldiers to save the car, and wanted to exchange small sacrifices for greater national interests.

Su Yan couldn't make a conclusion at the moment, so he had no position to advise, so he could only nod silently, and wait until he understood the situation later.

The recitation in the court suddenly stopped, and there was an obvious broken sound, followed by a violent cough, as if a cold wind had been poured into the throat.Su Yan couldn't help turning his head to look at the gate of the palace, and found that Emperor Jing Long had also done the same.The two looked at each other with a wry smile.

After coughing for a long time, the recitation sounded tenaciously again.Su Yan cupped his hands helplessly: "The minister should retire first, so as not to catch His Royal Highness the cold."

Emperor Jing Long originally wanted to keep him for dinner, but seeing the stubbornness of this rebellious son outside the palace, he was afraid that it would not work, so he nodded and said: "Go, the long journey is tiring enough, so I can rest."

Su Yan got up to leave, opened the palace door and stepped out. When he turned around and saw Lan Xi who was guarding the door, he suddenly wanted to laugh: This old eunuch was worried about the emperor's worries before, so he hasn't given up yet!

The emperor is really not in a hurry, but the eunuch is in a hurry.

Lan Xi quickly looked at Su Yan's whole body, but didn't say a word of nonsense, shook his whisk, and said in a long voice, "Su Yushi, go slowly."

The prince choked on the wind on his back, coughing until his face was red and his neck was thick. Finally, when Su Yan walked out of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, he hurriedly jumped up from the chair and went to meet him.
