In the hunting ground of the Daliang royal family, a horse galloped freely on the vast grassland. On horseback, a handsome young man was galloping.
Raise the whip to spur the horse, draw the bow and set the arrow, and fire several arrows in succession, all in one go.
Although the young man is not very old, he is extremely skilled in horsemanship, showing a maturity that is extremely inconsistent with his age. Seeing this, the eunuch beside him hurriedly ran to the grass target in the distance, then took a piece of rice paper pierced by arrow feathers from the grass target, and ran back quickly with his hat in one hand and the paper in the other. He ran to the young man’s horse and knelt down, shouting loudly——
"My lord is mighty! The arrows are all in vain!"
After saying that, he held up the rice paper with both hands and raised it above his head.
The young man bent slightly and took the paper, briefly looked at the ten small holes on the paper, then crumpled it into a ball and threw it aside with a slight dissatisfaction, and said with a displeased look on his face -
"The ten arrows were scattered and distributed on all sides, which proves that the failure to hit the target is due to poor eyesight; the hole is too small and not as thick as the arrow, which proves that the arrow did not completely enter the target, which is due to insufficient strength; my riding and shooting skills are not as good as those of the late Emperor Wuxuan. OK, where does the word 'mighty' come from?"
"Slave...slave..."
The eunuch wanted to flatter him to get some luck, but he was rejected by his master with harsh words.
"Ten strokes with the cane will result in half a year's salary being deducted!"
The young man's voice still had some childishness, but his tone was extremely majestic and irresistible.
"The slave receives the punishment..."
"The late Emperor Dragon returned to the sky and handed over the foundation of the Wei Dynasty to my hands. The prosperity of the Wei Dynasty is less than that of other countries in the Central Plains. Although I am young, I still know the principle of 'full of losses, modesty of benefits'. The prosperity of the Wei Dynasty requires It is true talent and practical knowledge, not such flattering words. If anyone makes flattering remarks again in the future, I will definitely punish him severely!"
"yes!"
The attendants and eunuchs around the young emperor knelt down one after another.
When the young emperor saw this, he ignored it and continued to practice riding and shooting hard.
On the other side, the female prime minister was reading memorials on a simple small table next to the hunting ground. She was extremely capable in writing and writing, and soon there was a pile of reviewed papers on her right hand side.
A female official rode a horse from a distance. When she was about a hundred feet away from the female prime minister, she got off her horse, then trotted all the way to the female prime minister's side. She took out a letter from her arms and handed it to the female prime minister.
The female prime minister glanced at it, then tilted her head slightly, and then placed the letter in front of the case with understanding.
After putting the letter away, the female officer added in a low voice: "My lord, there is another letter."
"explain."
"It's a letter from Yunyue Pavilion..."
The female prime minister was stunned. She stopped reviewing, put the pen on the pen holder, stood up and said, "Bring it here."
The female officer took out another envelope from her arms and handed it to the prime minister respectfully.
The female prime minister took the envelope and looked at it. Familiar handwriting suddenly appeared on the envelope - "My sister is a daughter-in-law." In the lower left corner, it read "Liang sister Wei Liang sister".
The female prime minister did not open it, but put the envelope into her sleeve, then sat down again and continued to review the memorial non-stop.
It's nearly noon, the sun is scorching in the sky, and the autumn tiger is still in full force.
The young emperor completed his hard training and rode his horse back to where the female prime minister was. The female prime minister was still immersed in grading, and seemed not to notice the arrival of the young emperor. The young emperor jumped off the horse, looked at the female prime minister who was deaf to what was going on around him, and then looked up at the scorching sun above his head.
"Come here, give me a yellow umbrella!"
The female prime minister raised her head when she heard the sound, and saw the young emperor standing in front of her with a red face. Before she could react, the eunuch stood behind her holding a huge red and yellow umbrella. The scorching sun was blocked, and she suddenly felt much cooler.
"I thank you Lord for your kindness!" The female prime minister stood up and quickly knelt down to express her gratitude.
The young emperor stepped forward quickly, supported the female prime minister with both hands, and said with a smile: "Prime Minister, you don't have to be polite."
After the emperor and his ministers finished the ceremony, the female prime minister stood up and called the maid in the distance to bring over a basin of water. She picked up a towel from the edge of the basin, washed it in the water for a few times, and then wiped the young emperor herself before performing the courtesy of the emperor and his ministers. The sense of formal seriousness was missing. At this moment, the female prime minister's usually majestic and stern gaze revealed a trace of love and affection, and the majesty of the young emperor just now disappeared completely. At this moment, the two of them seemed as tender as a mother and son.
"Although Your Majesty is young and has too much energy, he is still a great person. You must be careful not to overwork yourself."
"I will remember the Prime Minister's teachings."
"The most important ministers from various places and ministries have been sorted and put aside. Comments and annotations have been written on the memorial. There are a lot of important things from each place and ministry today. These memorials can be read and studied in three days."
"It doesn't take three days, I can finish it tonight."
The female prime minister was a minister who had been entrusted by the old Wei king. The young emperor had not yet taken charge of the government personally. All military and political matters in the Wei Dynasty should be handled by the female prime minister as regent. While governing the Wei Dynasty on behalf of the emperor of Wei, the female prime minister did not forget to educate the young emperor in the art of governing the country. Seeing that the young master was so diligent and eager to learn, the female prime minister stopped talking.
"The Prime Minister has many things to do every day, and he has been working hard recently. Please have dinner with me today. I happen to be confused about some contents in "Qi Ce", and I would like to ask the Prime Minister for advice at this time."
After saying that, he involuntarily took the female Prime Minister's wrist and walked towards the small pavilion with meals on the table next to her.
...
After a simple and warm lunch, the young emperor drove back to the palace. The female prime minister's carriage followed the holy driver and drove slowly towards Wei Palace.
In the carriage, the female prime minister took out the envelope from her arms. She opened the wax seal, quickly read the contents in her mind, then refolded the letter and put it back in the envelope.
The female prime minister still had no expression on her face. She looked at the dragon chariot not far ahead and frowned slightly, as if she thought of something disgusting. Then, she coldly shouted outside the car curtain——
"Turn around and go to the thatched cottage."
The carriage broke away from the Holy Driver's convoy abruptly and abruptly, turned around and walked toward the west of the city.
...
Zhe Helan was sitting on the Taishi's chair. He was holding a cup of tea and gently blew into the cup. The hot air instantly overflowed.
The tea was not considered good tea, but just the most common tea. You could buy it at any shop on Chang'an Street, but when he drank the tea, he felt it was extremely fragrant. When the hot tea was in his mouth, Zhe Helan felt a little sweaty, so he put the tea cup on the table, then picked up an old-looking cattail leaf fan, and started to fan while rocking the Taishi chair. Anyone who sees this scene will think that these two gray-haired old men are just ordinary farmers. How can they connect him with the powerful Tianshu strongman in the world?
Although it has entered autumn, the thatched cottage is still full of spring scenery. Looking at the fruits of her careful cultivation, Zhe Helan felt even more proud, and the chair under her could not help but shake even more violently.
Just when Zhehelan was feeling extremely comfortable, Jian Yeshi suddenly came from outside the house. He walked up to Zhe Helan and whispered a few words into his master's ear.
After hearing what his disciple said, Zhe Helan straightened up suddenly. He looked outside the door, and then asked his eldest disciple with some confusion: "Is this serious?"
Jian Yeshi nodded seriously.
Zhehelan made a soft sound and shook the cattail leaf fan in her hand more vigorously. Then, he took his disciple's arm and asked, "Where is she?"
"We've passed the Xicheng Market. I think we'll be there in a while."
"Why is she here..." Zhe Helan said to herself.
For the past three years, Zhehelan has been living happily without caring about worldly affairs. The life of hermitage in the thatched cottage was his dream life. He had always longed for it before leaving the palace, and now his dream had come true, so much so that he almost forgot who he really was. He really hoped that he could spend his old age peacefully like this until the end of his life, but today the female prime minister came to his door, and he felt something unusual - since he left the Wei Palace to establish the thatched cottage, that woman had never been here before, even if she Accompanying Shengshang to Xicheng would not come to his small thatched cottage. Nowadays, female prime ministers come to visit us without even saying hello...
It seems that this matter is not simple.
Zhe Helan jumped up from the Grand Master's chair, messed up the skirt of her clothes, and exposed her chest. He turned to Jian Yeshi and said: "Ye Shi, instruct the junior brothers and sisters to move out all the flower fertilizer. Remember to open the openings and put it all in the backyard. Go quickly -"
Jian Yeshi didn't know why, but he still agreed and immediately went out to command his junior brothers and sisters.
After seeing her lover leave, Zhe Helan stood by the chair and thought for a moment, then blew on her gray beard and said with a hint of dissatisfaction -
"Hmph, it must be up to no good!"
…
The carriage stopped smoothly at the entrance of the thatched cottage, and before the palace maid came to lift the curtain, the female prime minister got out of the carriage.
A very ordinary small courtyard came into view. This courtyard stood alone in the most remote corner of the west of the city. It was surrounded by a vast emptiness. It had no water or mountain to back it up. It looked helpless and lonely. The house inside Not even as good as some ordinary families in Daliang.
The powerful Tianshu man, the lord of Daliang Xicheng, who had great achievements in protecting the country in Wei Dynasty, and the good teacher and friend of the old Wei King actually lived in a place like this.
Looking at this extremely inconspicuous little courtyard in front of her, the female prime minister suddenly felt a sense of contempt in her heart.
Suppressing the disgust in her heart, the female prime minister walked into the thatched cottage. As soon as I stepped through the door, an unpleasant stench hit my nostrils. Facing this stench, although the female prime minister didn't show it on her face, her disgust was even worse.
There was no one in the thatched cottage courtyard, and not a single disciple came forward to guide her. This woman, the majestic Prime Minister of Wei, with overwhelming power, whose words and deeds could determine the fate of a person or even a small country, was standing alone at the gate of the thatched cottage. , she naturally has ten thousand unhappiness in her heart. But she had no choice but to endure the unpleasantness and smell and strode towards the main hall.
Stepping into the main hall, I saw a grand master's chair with its back facing the door. Looking again, he saw an old man with disheveled hair lying motionless on a chair, seemingly asleep.
The female prime minister stepped forward, and then couldn't help but frown. She saw Zhehelan with his breasts exposed, leaning on the chair with his head tilted, and a slight snore coming from his nose. What was even more unbearable was that, There were still a few long drops of saliva hanging from the corners of his mouth.
Faced with such an embarrassing scene, the female prime minister closed her eyes helplessly and took a deep breath. The bad old man in front of him didn't know whether he was really sleeping or pretending to be asleep, whether to call him or not. The female prime minister, who had always been resourceful, was suddenly in a dilemma.
"Prime Minister Wei came to the thatched cottage in person. We were disappointed to meet you from afar. We hope that you will forgive me, Prime Minister!"
Just when the female prime minister was awkwardly stuck on the spot and was at a loss, Jian Yeshi came from the inside with a sincere look on his face. Looking at Zhe Helan who was still sleeping, he apologized——
"My master is getting older, he is often sleepy, and the number of naps is increasing day by day. I hope you will forgive me, Prime Minister!"
