Chapter 74 Consciousness

The sun was scorching and the earth was hot. The cool palace and the huge ice cubes in the copper tripod emitted a burst of cold air, making the hall cooler than outside, but it was just some.

Ice cubes are collected in winter and transported to the ice cellar, and in summer, ice cubes are taken out from the ice cellar to cool down. This has led to the high cost of using ice cubes, so only wealthy families can afford it, but this is not a problem for the emperor.

Although he has not taken power in charge, Yuwen Gankeng, as the emperor, naturally has all the enjoyment he deserves, so even if the ice is ridiculously large, it doesn't matter to him, as long as his sister is happy.

Not far from the bronze tripod, Yuwen Gankeng and his sister's daughter Princess were talking. The two sisters reunited again the day before yesterday, so naturally they had a lot to say. Yuwen Gankeng saw that the weather was hot and was afraid that his sister would get hot, so he naturally tried every means to cool down.

"Xiangguo is like Yecheng. It can freeze thick ice in winter. After entering the ice cellar, it will be taken out to cool down in summer. However, it is not so convenient for Xiyang. The ice stored in the ice cellar in the palace is very small, but Xiyang King came up with a good idea..."

Princess Qianjin talked about the incident when she was temporarily staying in Xiyang. Yuwen Gankeng smiled when he heard this, pointed to a device that the eunuch moved in and asked: "Is this a good idea for sister?"

The bamboo dragonflies that children play with can carry wind when they turn. Based on this phenomenon, Wang Yuwen of Xiyang made a cooling device, placing broken ice at the bottom of an upright wooden box with a side hole, and then shaking the handle manipulated to allow the cross bamboo dragonflies at the side hole to rotate quickly, which can bring out the cold wind.

"So Goro has this thing here too?"

"Well, it was presented by the King of Xiyang. I used to ask the craftsmen to do a few more, but now it's just in handy. My sister is not afraid of being too hot at night and not being able to sleep well."

Yuwen Gankeng did not call himself "I" because he didn't want to show off in front of his sister. Princess Qianjin asked after hearing this, "Is that shadow play also presented by the King of Xiyang?"

"Well, the shadow puppet that my sister just watched was performed by the troupe presented by King Xiyang."

"Oh, it's even more exciting than the shadow plays I watched in Xiyang."

"Really?"

"Yes, after all, this is a show for the emperor to watch."

The daughter-in-law praised her younger brother a little. In fact, the excitement of the acting on both sides is similar, but she can say good things to the King of Xiyang, so she can do it if she can do it with such a simple task.

Even if it is a sister and a brother, he is a monarch and a minister. Therefore, although the younger brother strongly demands that when there are no outsiders, there is no need to take into account the red tape and let the sister call him "Wulang" as before, the daughter-in-law has always insisted on claiming to use "concubine" instead of "me".

"Concubine" has always been a common claim among women. It is not limited to claiming to her husband. Yuwen Gankeng could not resist his sister and could only let it go.

"Sister, is the big windmill still there in Dongbakou, Xiyang City?"

"I'm here, I took a boat from Fengkou to Xiyang. When I was about to arrive at Bakou, I saw the big windmill from afar. The windmill was unique in style. How did Goro know?"

"The King of Xiyang has sketches, so I know that the King of Xiyang often draws the scenery wherever he goes, binds it into a book and sends it to the palace. The scene is lifelike, and after seeing it, I feel like I am really immersive."

"So that's it. No wonder King Xiyang painted something on a piece of paper that day."

"That's Fanyu's landscape, I've seen it."

Yuwen Gankeng was very happy to talk about this. King Yuwen of Xiyang led his troops to fight to the smoky land of Fanyu in Guangzhou. It was a very far southern border. It is said that Fanyu was a metropolis since the Qin and Han Dynasties. Yuwen Gankeng really wanted to see what Fanyu looked like, but that was impossible.

However, the sketches of entering Beijing with the Lingnan Road marching and report to the war documents opened his eyes and roughly understood the style of Fanyu City. Looking at the sketches, the feeling of a bird in the cage seemed to disappear.

Seeing that her younger brother had a good impression of the King of Xiyang, the daughter princess breathed a sigh of relief. She got help from Yuwen Wen and got rid of the clutches of the Persian Truss. Her medicine addiction was cured by Yuwen Wen. When she was grateful, she decided to say more good things for the other party in front of the emperor.

When he was temporarily staying in Xiyang, the Princess of Xiyang, Yuchi Chifan took good care of him, and the Princess of Qianjin lived very comfortably. He felt more and more responsible for saying good things about the couple in front of the emperor, so as not to let the emperor get angry at the Princess of Xiyang if he was dissatisfied with the Yuchi family and then alienate him from the Princess of Xiyang.

Now that the King of Xiyang is extremely good at being a human being, the emperor has no complaints or misunderstandings about the King of Xiyang, the princess of the daughter of Xiyang is much more at ease.

"Wulang, when I came back this time, I also brought back a life-saving benefactor, a Persian woman. I have the right time to wait in the future. Please take her into the palace to meet her."

"Ah, is it my sister's savior? Then I'll just invite her into the palace now. I want to thank you in person."

"Goro, there is no hurry to do this, I will talk about it later." Princess Qianjin smiled slightly. She only mentioned this matter to her younger brother today.

The daughter-in-law wants the Persian woman Agnes to have a good home, but as the son’s wedding is about to be around today, if Agnes enters the palace now, it may stimulate Prime Minister Yuchi. This is not her original intention.

Whether in the Central Plains or the grassland, only by knowing the current affairs can you keep peace.

"Ah, let's listen to my sister." Yuwen Gankeng didn't know his sister's intention, so he just thought that his sister was asking for a reward for his life-saving benefactor. He took a sip of iced sour plum soup and said, "Sister, in a few days, we will go back to Xiangguo to have a look."

......

"Where is the Persian Bowl? Didn't you enter the palace?"

"When I go back to the prime minister, the noble man entered the palace alone. As for the Persian Husband, he is currently living in Nishi Temple, and there seems to be no sign of entering the palace recently."

"Well... she knows what's wrong... If nothing happens, you can step down."

"yes."

In the study, Prime Minister Yuchi Dun was thinking about something. The emperor's elder sister, Princess Jin, returned to Yecheng. He had been unable to understand how this Turkic Kehe Dun ran to Lingbiao, Guangzhou Fanyu, but since the other party knew each other, it would be easy to deal with.

The marshal of the Lingnan Road marshal, Schoe Danah, reported secretly that the daughter-in-law was accompanied by a Persian beard. Although there were scars on his face, it seemed to be a fool. It was very likely that the daughter-in-law presented to the emperor by the daughter-in-law.

Seeing that his niece was about to marry into the palace and become the queen, Yuchi Dun did not mind letting her "suddenly die" any woman who could threaten the status of Empress Yuchi. He had agreed to the emperor's request and concealed the identity of the daughter of the daughter, which was considered a concession. If this woman dared to be ungrateful...

Haha, even if the Turks don’t send anyone to take you away, I will send you to the West!

When the daughter of the daughter entered the palace, Yuchi Dun's eyes were always staring at the Persian Humi. Since the daughter of the daughter of the daughter of the daughter of the daughter, he would just wait and see, but if the other party dared to make small moves, there would be nothing to hesitate.

A concern was temporarily resolved, and Yuchi Dun walked out of the study and moved to the backyard.

In the cool house with glass windows, a copper tripod was filled with huge ice. The Shu Concubine Wang sat not far away and chatted with the Princess of Xiyang who came to the house to ask for advice. The daughter-in-law, Cui, the Princess of Shu, and the Prince of Xiyang Yuwen Weicheng were also present.

Seeing Yuchi Dun coming in, Yuchi Chifan quickly got up and pulled his son to greet him.

"Well, Sanniang is here, oh, Jilang is taller than last year!"

Yuchi Dun walked forward, gently touched Yuwen Weicheng's head and said, "Although the little guy's surname is Yuwen, he has the blood of the Yuchi family on his body. He, an elder, must look like an elder."

Footsteps sounded, and a young man rushed in. It was the prince of Shu King Yuchi Jiaxing, followed by two servants with charcoal-like skin. They were the "produced" of Jiaoguang.

Yuchi Jiaxing pulled Yuchi Dun's hand and said, "Aye! Jilang said there is no urn person in his mansion, I don't believe it!"

"Oh, are there no urns in the Xiyang Palace?"

Yuchi Dun was a little surprised. These two urns were "procurement" by Cui Dana, who was in Fanyu, and to offer one of the gifts to the Shu Palace. King Yuwen of Xiyang also offered several urns to the emperor and the Shu Palace. He thought that there would be urns to the Xiyang Palace.

Yuchi Chifan explained: "No, although it is not uncommon for urn people to communicate, there are not many trainings. The King of Xiyang finally got a few, so of course he has to offer them to His Majesty."

"Snatch? Who are you snatching with by the King of Xiyang?" Princess Cui of Shu was a little curious.

Yuchi Chifan smiled and said, "Of course, it's a merchant on the Lingbiao. Cui Changshi was very careful, for fear that the king would buy and sell, but the king delayed his time and almost couldn't get it."

"Oh, Cui Changshi is also doing his duty. Sanniang should not blame him."

The Shu Concubine Wang spoke. She was very satisfied with Cui Dacheng's gift and admired the kindness of King Xiyang. Seeing this, Yuchi Chifan took the opportunity to raise the topic:

"Thanks to the fact that Cui Changshi was in charge of the affairs, King Xiyang was able to concentrate on handling military affairs. He just wanted to come to Ling to predict the climate was too hot. King Xiyang was so hot that he was so angry that Lin Yi..."

"It's okay, it's okay, Linyi's small country will slaughter it, and it won't be like this."

Yuchi Dun didn't care. Yuwen Wen could not escape the responsibility of "unleashing border provocations", but if he wanted to make a big deal, he would be embarrassed if others didn't feel embarrassed.

King Xiyang was very good at being a human being. As soon as he captured Fan Yu, he collected many rare treasures and sent them to Yecheng. He had one copy of the emperor and one copy of the Prime Minister's Mansion (King of Shu). The matter was done without any leakage. That was a wise man.

Next, he would transport the treasures of Linyi Kingdom to the capital. If he acted like this, Yuchi Dun would be even more harsh and would at most punish him for his behavior of "unleashing border provocations". Any severe punishment would only make him look petty.

When Yuchi Chifan saw his grandmother, his uncle was in a good mood and took the opportunity to raise another topic: "Uncle, I wonder how long will the King of Xiyang stay in Lingbiao?"

"Oh, Sanniang misses her husband?" Yuchi Dun smiled hurriedly, and Yuchi Chifan said awkwardly: "Uncle, after all, the miasma on the ridge is rampant..."

"Yes, my grandson, I heard that the miasma on the Lingbing surface is rampant. If the King of Xiyang is sick, Sanniang will not be anxious."

Cui seemed to be helping Yuchi Chifan speak, but in fact she didn't care whether King Xiyang would come back or not, but her brother Cui Hongsheng was Sima, the marshal of the Lingnan Road, and is still in Jiangzhou.

Cui felt that there was no war anyway, so it would be better to let your brother come back quickly, and with another brother, the marshal Cui Hongdu, was just in time to train. At this time, Yuchi Dun was just inviting to consider the matter of the Xiyang King's class to "pass the way".

This topic is a bit sensitive. Yuchi Chifan is cautious, and Cui is also cautious, for fear that Wang will remind him of Yuchi Youqi who is still in Jiangbei, so both of them are very aware of each other and dare not mention "Marching from Lingnan Road to pacify the Jiaotong-Publicity, waiting for triumph."
