When the summoned man held a lantern and patted the gate of Lan Mansion, Lan Jue was already asleep. He woke up for a moment before asking: "Did Your Highness, King Dai, take the wrong path and misunderstand?"

Eunuch Guo sighed and shook his head.

Today, King Dai has not been arranged to meet Prince Tachi. Even if King Dai meets him, he should be in the palace.

Qingsi Hall is in Baohua Palace. This palace was originally built by Emperor Taizu to serve the Queen Mother of Shengcirenzhuang for rest. During the reign of Emperor Tongguang, it was changed to a temple where the foreign guests lived.

The mansion of King Dai is on Changle Street, and it takes nearly an hour to go to Baohua Palace. When Wang Zixu is in the bath. When it comes to heaven and time and occasions, King Dai is a person who should never appear there.

After the incident, Shangguan Langzhong and Honglu Temple Minister quickly rushed to Baohua Palace to appease the prince and his accompanying ministers.

Prince Chabcharik felt great frightened and humiliated, and his current mood was extremely unstable. The envoy said that in fact, King Dai had a long time of indecent intentions. When King Dai first met the prince, his eyes looked very naked and his words were teasing. King Dai had asked the prince to drink with him, and told the prince during the meal that according to the rules of the Celestial Empire, he had to take off a piece of clothing after drinking a cup. The prince had read books from the Celestial Empire and had not seen this custom, so he did not follow it. King Dai tried to get the prince drunk and invited the prince to sleep on the same bed, saying that this was also one of the customs of the Celestial Empire. The prince vaguely felt that King Dai was a little strange, but for the sake of the friendship between the two countries, he had never spoken out and avoided meeting King Dai again. But he could not suppress his beastly nature when he saw the prince, and he actually sneaked into the Qingsi Palace at night and did such an outrageous behavior.

After hearing this, Lan Jue didn't know what to react.

King Dai is thirteen this year, and Prince Chabucharik is thirty this year.

Because of this incident, the palace had become a pot of boiling water, and King Huai and other kings were also summoned into the palace. The empress dowager was angry for a moment and cried, "The Ai family has no face to see the late emperor! It was because the Ai family neglected the discipline and was too indulged in him. He actually made him follow the problems of King Huai at a young age..."

The emperor and the others were afraid that King Huai, who was present, would not be able to hold on their faces, so they hurriedly dissuaded them.

King Huai said: "Yes, it's all my fault. I'm spoiling King Dai and letting him follow me. I have always said that it's not too strict to care about children. As the saying goes, what you lack or what you think. This age is just the time of curiosity. I'm afraid that he will learn bad things all day long, and all the people who serve him are half a piece of bull-headed and horse-dressed noodles. Then he goes to see what he sees like a soba noodle pot-kick in the night. If he gets used to seeing good things, why is this?"

When Lan Jue arrived in the palace to see the emperor, King Dai was taken to the front of the emperor. Lan Jue saluted and retreated to the side. Emperor Yongxuan looked at King Dai and said, "Brother Tan, tell me, where is the fascinating place of Chabucharik that made you so popular?"

King Huai looked heartbroken: "I will tell you next time I think about it, I will take you to see it."

The other kings sitting on the side all looked gloomy, and King Jia coughed lightly.

King Dai puffed his cheeks and said, "Brother, this is a misunderstanding. I am not a vulgar. I am not like the little emperor uncle! I just want to see if the wolf on Chabucharik is real."

People from Tachi Kingdom said that Prince Chabucharik was Sirius and was born with a wolf on his back. He was a milk wolf at first, and he grew up slowly with the prince. Now he is a heroic figure. What's more amazing is that when the prince woke up, his wolf eyes were opened, the prince fell asleep, and his wolf eyes were closed.

King Huai said: "This kind of legend is a lie when you hear it. You are stupid when you really check it."

King Dai muttered, "I know it must be fake. I looked at it when I was hunting last time. It was so fake, like a dog's head, and the wolf's eyes were dyed with green color."

Emperor Yongxuan said, "Then what else did you do last night?"

King Dai stammered for a moment, and after being asked by Emperor Yongxuan and the kings, he finally made a complete move: "It's just such a thing, it's mysterious, and it's as if everyone else wants to think about it. Just get a bottle of water for washing paint and you can take it off."

Emperor Yongxuan and the kings looked even more ugly.

King Dai wrinkled his nose: "It's all men, let's see what it is worth crying for? "

Emperor Yongxuan sighed: "Brother Tan, do you know what you did? You not only peeped at Prince Chabucharik for bathing, but also put medicine into his bathtub."

Lan Jue and the trembling Gong Shangshu stood aside, not knowing whether to cry or laugh.

It would be funny if this matter had nothing to do with him. But a joke has become the key to diplomatic relations between the two countries.

The Tachi Kingdom and the dynasty had always had frictions on the border. Prince Chabucharik and his brother Duergu Capital competed for the throne of Khan, and were slightly inferior, so he was sent to the envoy. Chabucharik hinted to the court through his servants that if he supported him to become a Khan, he would be willing to cultivate good things with the Celestial Empire and pay tribute to generations.

The mission also had a confidant from the ancient capital of Duer, which conveyed the same news.

After the court weighed the pros and cons, this decision was not biased for the time being. He would talk about the internal strife and look at the situation.

As soon as King Dai peeped out, Chabucharik clearly used this to make a big splash and threatened the court to support it.

The situation is so embarrassing that we must first appease Chabcharik and then discuss. We will go back and forth, in order to make a sufficient scene, we may deposed one or two officials who are in charge of the talks during this period.

According to the consistent virtue of the Honglu Temple, he would definitely kick the ball to the Ministry of Rites. Moreover, Xue Mulin, the Minister of the Honglu Temple, was only a fourth-rank official, and even if he was with the Ministry of Rites, he would not be the main talk.

The moment Lan Jue heard that he was summoned into the palace, he had already realized it.

As an official in the court, this is often the case. It is not a mistake or a defeat by a political enemy. It is simply a death in the word "decline".

Just caught up with the bad luck.

I have been thinking about the nourishing days of vacation recently. Now I have a lot of time and the vast desert and lonely ridge are waiting to be sung.

Emperor Yongxuan has already begun to point out the topic: "...Now, we can only temporarily stabilize Prince Chabucharik and Tachi's delegation."

Gong Shangshu was hunching over with his body tremblingly. Even if this errand was not obviously going to fall on his head, Lan Jue could not do anything to let Gong Shangshu take it. Before Gong Shangshu moved, he stepped out and bowed and said, "The Lord and the Minister of the Guest Office have been comforted with the Chief of the Honglu Temple in Baohua Palace."

Emperor Yongxuan nodded slightly: "I know, but Prince Chabucharik was deeply frightened, and I am afraid that Shangguanqing and the other two would find it difficult to appease him."

In fact, the Tachi Kingdom mission has already yelled, saying that sending such two officials is too perfunctory and wants to talk to those who can manage the affairs.

Lan Jue could only bet at this time, betting that Emperor Yongxuan was still young and had a kind heart.

"If the emperor trusts me, I am willing to go. I am just because of my clumsy and wisdom, but I may be temporarily stable, and it may be difficult to resolve it. If the emperor is right, I will be able to go there with my crime."

Emperor Yongxuan said, "It's great that Lan Aiqing can go there. King Dai is arbitrarily, causing this trouble, and I feel ashamed of you. Lan Aiqing said again that he will be punished, so how can I bear it? Lan Aiqing has always been relieved to do things. Tachi's mission will refuse to stop for a while. My dear will go with Xue Qing tomorrow, so I should only explore their intentions first."

Lan Jue received the order and breathed a sigh of relief.

Emperor Yongxuan said again: "Although some envoys from Tachi Kingdom understand the writings of our dynasty, they have read a few books, but they have not been entrusted with their pride. Lan Aiqing is more careful tomorrow."

Lan Jue thanked again.

Emperor Yongxuan was just giving him a promise that he would never push him over the tank.

However, it is hard to say how much truth can this guarantee be and how long it will take for such a time.

I could only close my eyes and move forward.

Emperor Yongxuan glanced at King Dai and said, "Gong Aiqing and Lan Aiqing came to discuss this matter late at night. Thank you for your hard work. Let's go back to the mansion to rest first."

Lan Jue knew that the emperor and the kings were going to teach King Dai a lesson in the closed door, so he said goodbye to Shangshu Gong first.

After leaving the Qinzheng Hall, Gong Shangshu said to Lan Jue that he was affected.

Lan Jue smiled and said, "Since you are a subordinate, this is a matter of course. It is late at night, so I remember to drink some hot soup after returning home."

Gong Shangshu also felt that over the years, his feelings for Lan Jue have not been too good or too bad. Lan Jue was a younger generation who climbed very quickly, acted smoothly, and he was mostly responsible for the redundant tasks of the Ministry of Rites. Even if Gong Shangshu disagreed with some behaviors, he turned a blind eye. However, such ability and such means of conduct must have ambitions. In his eyes, the position of Minister of the Secretariat should be just a step. In the past, Gong Shangshu could not say that he had no precautions, and even before he retired, he recommended the candidate to take over and listed Lan Jue in his words. His words were only general and he talked about his omissions that he was often impeached.

It was not until the time when he was about to retire that Gong Shangshu felt that Lan Jue was really thoughtful. Whether it was sincere or not, it was extremely rare to be able to do this.

Zhang Ping took advantage of the idle days of resigning from office and taking office to visit Fengle County.

The magistrate is the lord of a county, and his responsibilities are very different from that of a county magistrate. Zhang Ping learned some of the magistrates in Yiping County, but he was not good at many things that the magistrate should do. He would take on the responsibility of the people of a county, and first step on the ground and feel more at ease.

Zhang Ping recently took advantage of the time to practice horse riding, so he rode a yellow-haired old horse with steady footing. Without taking his companion, he stepped into Fengle County alone.

The fields are covered with fluffy and fresh green, and early spring flowers are adorned on the branches, and the breeze is very pleasant. After all, it is the territory of Jingzhao Prefecture, with different weather conditions. There are quiet manors hidden in the mountains and fields. There are many pedestrians coming and going on official roads. The carriages of officials and families are winding. In the wilderness, young men dressed in light clothes ride horses and eagles, and kites floating in the sky are quite novel.

Zhang Ping leaned against the roadside and walked slowly along the way. In the afternoon, he entered Fengle County. From the city gate to the house street, to the pedestrians on the road, they were much better than Yiping County.

Zhang Ping sat down at the tea stall next to the road. A bowl of tea here is more expensive than Yiping.

Zhang Ping was eating tea and listening to gossip on the table next to him. Some people mentioned the change of the magistrate, and they all regretted that Xie Magistrate was unlucky. Xie Magistrate was actually a good official, and he was a routine act in the end of the year when he went to Beijing to report his duties. There were several magistrates in Jingzhao Prefecture who did not sit in the county town, but instead set up the yamen in the capital. Xie Magistrate worked diligently for several years and strived to achieve political achievements. Unexpectedly, due to a case, he became cannon fodder under the battle between Jingzhao Prefecture and the Ministry of Justice.

After hearing the discussion, Zhang Ping realized that what was even more sad was that magistrate Xie was not dismissed or transferred, but was directly demoted to the county magistrate. He helped Zhang Ping, the new magistrate.

It seems that people around Xie Zhixian were staring at him recently, afraid that he would not be able to think about it.

Yao Yuanwai felt deeply guilty and blamed himself. He apologized to County Magistrate Xie several times, and felt that he was not ashamed to live in Fengle County and planned to move.

Zhang Ping sipped the tea, but felt a little bitter.

After leaving the tea shed, he led Lao Ma to continue walking on the street. He saw that there were 29th, 30th, and 30th inns hanging in front of the doors of many inns on the roadside. The words were fully booked on the first and third day of the lunar month. There were many stalls selling paper dolls in the market, and there were also in front of the incense and candle shops. They were all placed, all boys, but no girls.

Zhang Ping stopped in front of a baby stall: "Is this effective for you to use?"

The stall owner said, "Of course, I must invite a pair of golden boys to burn it, and I will respond to any request."

Zhang Ping said: "How come there are no virgins?"

The stall owner smiled: "Don't the old man loves his grandson more?"

Zhang Ping turned his head and looked at the doll stalls that stretched left and right: "Is it painful to have so many?"
