Chapter 126 Spring Hunting

When Ji Shen returned to the Xuan Room Hall for dinner, Gu Changfu hurriedly greeted him and told him that Nie Yuansheng had waited for a long time, and Ji Shen ordered him to eat together.

Just entered the seat in the side hall, and the outside came to report again. It was said that Mu led people to seek a meeting outside. Ji thought deeply and said to Nie Yuansheng, "A few days ago, the old servant of the herdsman who entered the palace is said to have made a plum cake. It is at this time that can be used on the spot, and I have not tasted it until now."

Nie Yuansheng stroked his palm and smiled, "I'm going to get the honor of your majesty again."

"If you say so, it will be difficult for me to distinguish it from you." Ji Shen smiled and ordered to go down. It was not long before Mu Bi took Ashan into the door. She changed into a loose-green cross-collar wide-sleeved palace suit, with colorful silk around her waist, pressed a pair of white jade carp pendants on the corners of her skirt, held a lily bun on her head, and applied a little powder, and her eyes were clear and demonic. Ji Shen raised her hand to avoid etiquette. She unconsciously looked more. A few eyes said, "It's appropriate for Wei Niang to wear pine and green."

Mu Bi said with a smile, "Your Majesty, have you forgotten? These pine and green brocade patterns are inlaid with gold brocade or are they given by His Majesty the next day when the maidservant entered the palace!"

When she said this, Ji Shen remembered and said with a smile, "You are well dressed." Then asked Ruan Wenyi, "How many other materials are similar to this?" Send ten horses each to Fenghe Courtyard.

Ruan Wenyi bowed and said, "There are more than anything else, but there are too many rewards for the goose brocade. Now there are less than seven left. If you want to make up ten, I'm afraid you have to go somewhere else."

"I remember that Hualuo Hall got a lot at that time, and I went to even some and made up ten." Ji Shen said that the cyan is heavy. Even if it is beautiful and thick, because most of the palaces in the palace have earth dragons or charcoal basins, young and delicate concubines are rarely willing to wear them in winter. Zuo Zhaoyi has always been calm, but he likes this kind of color, so it used to be blue and pine green. But Hualuo Hall has the most.

Ruan Wenyi responded in a hurry.

Mu Bi squeezed her lips and smiled, "Thank you for your majesty's reward!" Saying that, he ordered Ah Shan to put the food box on the case. "Today, I fought for Ah Shan and was busy in the wind and lotus courtyard for a day. I finally caught up with your majesty's meal. I hope your majesty won't dislike some children's intentions."

Ji deeply nombled, and Ruan Wenyi next to him came forward to open the food box. The Linying plum fragrance rushed out with steaming heat. Nie Yuansheng praised: "I haven't seen its appearance and tasted it. I think this pastry is excellent."

The little servant presented silver chopsticks, and Ruan Wenyi tried them one by one in person, and then started to bring out the utensils with plum cakes. However, on the four kinds of lotus mouth Yunxia glaze shallow plate, there were several pieces of white hot cakes, and the cake was a little red, just like red plums inadvertently brushing the snow, and a touch of crimson cloud glaze in the white. Echoing, more and more cute.

Ji Shen and Nie Yuansheng are both used to seeing rich people. They are not surprised to see this plum cake, but they also feel pleasing to the eye. Ji Shen praised: "Your old servant is really good at craftsmanship."

"I am really ecstatic to be praised by His Majesty." Ashan has been reminded by Mu Biwei that Ji Shen doesn't like what others mean. Even if the humble words are wrong, it will inevitably annoy him, so he generously thanked him.

Nie Yuansheng said, "This cake is very good, but it's a pity that the name is too ordinary. If your majesty likes it, why don't you give it one?"

Ji Shen has always loved him, and because Mu Biwei is spoiling, he doesn't want to say: "This cake is red and white, cute and clear, quite similar to the Yunxia glazed dish, so it is called Yunxia cake."

Mu Biwei quickly received Ah Shan and thanked him again.

Ji Shen was ordered to share half of Nie Yuansheng and the next head, and asked Mu Biwei to serve his meal. After such a meal, Ruan Wenyi brought Xiaonei to serve tea. Nie Yuansheng took tea in his hand, took a sip and said, "It's February now. I don't know that your majesty will be the same as usual this year?"

"It's just as good as last year." Ji Shen said carelessly, and suddenly remembered that this matter was not under the control of Nie Yuansheng. He deliberately went to the palace to mention it. Thinking that there was another reason, he frowned and said, "But what did the previous dynasty say?"

"I heard that the prime minister thought that this year's spring was too cold and he was afraid of hurting the seedlings. The capital has found the disaster and thought that if he still wants to hunt in spring as usual, he will be considered unsympathetic enough by the people." Nie Yuansheng said in an extremely plain tone.

Ji Shen's face suddenly darkened: "I am the son of heaven, and the common people in the district dare to talk about the emperor's actions? The so-called thunder, rain and dew are all king's kindness. Do these two old guys still want to blackmail the common people to force me to submit!"

"Your Majesty's anger." Nie Yuansheng gave a mild advice and said, "In fact, in my opinion, Yedu is already far north. If you go further north, it is not a place to cultivate. Although the south also suffered a snow disaster this spring, the climate is originally warm. I think about it will be another month later. After the snow disappears, the spring freeze will almost melt, so the left and right prime minister canceled spring hunting. , I really thought about it."

"These two old towns stared at me and advised me to say that it was more reverentful than the emperor and the previous emperor when they were there, which is really hateful!" Ji Shen said coldly, "I have lived in the palace since I was a child, and I can only go out to hunt in the spring and autumn, but they can't see it!" It's clear that I regret that I pardoned Mu Qi and his son and intended revenge! That's the excuse of Chunhan to stop it!"

Mu Biwei listened to his words and pulled her father. She didn't dare to neglect it. She quickly knelt down and pleaded guilty and said, "It's all the father and brother of slaves who are involved in Your Majesty!"

After she stood behind Ji Shen, she knelt down and knelt on Ji Shen's knees. Ji Shen casually pulled her up and said, "Jiang thief and thief have a small size. What does it have to do with Wei Niang? It has nothing to do with your father and brother.

Hearing what he said, Mu Biwei was relieved and thought that Nie Yuansheng really knew Ji Shen. In this spring hunting, a few words actually attracted Ji Shen to have a narrow impression of Jiang Yao and tricks. In this way, although Ji Shen will not immediately take Jiang Yao or tricks, he is afraid that after the crown of pro-government, it will be Jiang. It's good for two people to be able to become a safe official.

However, although Nie Yuansheng mentioned before, the left and right Cheng's impression on him are not very good, Nie Yuansheng is only a six-ranking official now. Even if Ji Shen trusts him, it will take two years for Ji Shen to win the crown. Nie Yuansheng is two months younger than Ji Shen. Two years later, he is only at the age of the crown. No matter how high Ji Shen is, he is high. The Empress Dowager and the Wenwu of the Manchu Dynasty are there. How can Nie Yuansheng want to control the government?

Mu Biwei thought of this, but saw that Nie Yuansheng's eyes seemed to pass by him, and his heart was brighten up. No wonder Nie Yuansheng wanted to show his goodwill to him. He also knew that his grandfather Nie Linyi was too young. Although his grandfather Nie Linyi was a famous founding minister and had a title of descendants, but because he felt that Yuan was in poverty. When he was ill, he not only had an incomparable respect for the Yue family, but also remained loyal to the Yuan wife. Not to mention the concubine, not even a maid who served closely, so there was only two sons and one daughter with Yuan. The eldest son died. Although the uncle who raised Nie Yuan's growth inherited the title of Duke of Linyi County, there was nothing else. I'm afraid it's not capable to have an important position.

Nie Yuansheng is the eldest son and grandson of Nie Linyi. I'm afraid that his other brothers are not as old as him. Even if they are shrewd and put their qualifications there, it is really not enough to take any power.

Although the Nie family is much more prosperous than the herdsmen, it is far from enough compared with the Qu and the high-ranking people.

And Ding Shanbo, the shepherd, even if Mu Bicheng grew up a few years later, there were only three male heirs. Even if he was relied on by Ji Shen, he could not occupy many positions - the three in-laws of the Mu family, the Xu family of the Shen family were all hope families, and they were not afraid of no one, but Shen Taijun's relationship with the Shen family had been estranged, and when Mu Qi and Mu Bichuan went to prison, Shen Xu was afraid of He Ronghua's favor and did not take action. If it hadn't been for the insistence of the left and right prime ministers, it would have been impossible for Mu Biwei to enter the palace. After this incident, how could the shepherd not have a grudge against these two in-laws?

What's more, Xu is not the biological mother of Mu Bichuan and Mu Biwei, and Mu Biwei entered the palace. Mu Bichuan, the eldest son of the Mu family, will not be secretly in the Xu family in the future. As for the Min family, if there is a capable person, there will naturally be arrangements when Min Ru is alive. Why let them just take some idle duties to spend their ancestral property?

Therefore, he is also the minister of Ruizong, and Nie Yuansheng is the safest only to join hands with the herdsman.

Moreover, in order to avoid being killed by He Ronghua in the court with his mother and sister, as the eldest son of the Mu family, he is willing to take the initiative to ask for marriage from He Ronghua's sister He Sanniangzi, which shows the importance he attaches to Mu Biwei. Nie Yuansheng uses the convenience of going to the palace to support Mu Biwei, and the Mu family will miss him in the future. .

I heard Nie Yuansheng say, "In my opinion, since the right prime minister has decided to cancel the spring hunting, he wants to ask to see your majesty to report this matter in these two days, and your majesty still needs to make a decision as soon as possible."

Ji deeply pondered for a moment and ordered the pen and ink to serve. Ruan Wenyi quickly asked people to take the four treasures of the study and spread them on an empty case next to her. The little servant who had been organically rolled up his sleeves to study ink. Ji Shen said, "Yuansheng proposed a decree on behalf of me, that is, because of the loss of the Snow Blue Pass, I plan to use this year's spring hunting to assess the capital. Camp, the flying crane guards are also listed. The clan and the children of Wenwu can choose excellent people to accompany them. If there is a good one, you can make up for the flying crane guards, in addition to another reward!"

Nie Yuansheng rolled up his cuffs, got up and walked to the edge of the case, smiling and said, "Your Majesty is wise!"

Although Mu Biwei didn't dare to say anything, she thought that Xuelan's matter would be mentioned again. Now the discussion in Yedu has not been suppressed, and it is no wonder that Mu Qi would rather be demoted to avoid the northwest - Mu Qi, as the only son of Mu Xun, listened to the praise and admiration of the Mu family by the emperor of this dynasty, including the Gaozu emperor of this dynasty. When he grew up, he has been stationed on the border for many years without fail. It is a weak herdsman, so it is a strong proof that he is not underestimated among the famous families in Yedu. Now his reputation is suddenly discredited, and he can't stand it.

But this excuse was thought by Ji Shen. Mu Biwei could only grit her teeth secretly. When Nie Yuansheng drew up the order and handed it over to Ji Shen, he immediately handed it over to Ruan Wenyi to convey it. Mu Biwei thought of one and pleaded softly according to Ji Shen, "Your Majesty, I know that I am humble and dare not ask for spring hunting. With the driver, there are several cousins of the slave and maidservant's family, who are mediocre, but Sheng is simple-hearted and has some martial arts skills. I don't know if I can get some idle jobs in spring hunting. It is also a great honor to be able to do my best for your majesty.

Ji Shenqi said, "Your grandfather is a former Shangshu Ling Min Rugai. Why can't his grandson accompany him?"

Mu Biwei suddenly had a difficult face, but Nie Yuansheng explained for her with a smile: "Your Majesty is taking care of thousands of opportunities. I'm afraid that there is no time to pay attention to idle things. Min Shangshu is open and aboveboard. Although the official is the order of the minister, he has four sons under his knees, but he only shaded some idle official positions, and his grade is not high. Only the eldest grandson and second grandson has an official body among his grandchildren. , is also extremely low. Last year, Qiuhun did not participate in it, so Tsing Yi asked for it.

"Min Rugai is really clean." Ji Shen really had no impression of this Shangshuling. Because Min Rugai was not from a family, he took advantage of the troubled times to achieve Shangshuling. He never asked for merit, but he wanted nothing. Otherwise, he would not ask for a high position for them because his children and grandchildren were mediocre. Therefore, Ji Shen valued morality and contradicted the empress dowager before. At that time, Min Rugai was sick and pretended to be deaf and dumb, which did not leave a bad impression on Ji at all. Now when he heard that Nie Yuansheng also meant to speak for Min Rugai, he praised him.

Of course, Mu Biwei quickly thanked the Min family.

Since thank you, Ji Shen will push the boat with the water.
