8. Lingxu Guan Miyuan

In this spring, with the winter and spring of the locust tree in the corner of Pingkangfang Street, some people went there again.

After praising Gao Yue's talent, the prime minister Liu Congyi was bedridden soon after he was ill and submitted a memorial to the emperor for his bones. The emperor approved his request to resign and sent a central official and imperial physician to Liu Congyi's house to express condolences, but Liu still failed to survive the previous winter and passed away.

After Liu Cong died, the emperor was sad. He not only stopped the court, but also posthumously awarded the title of officials to the other party. However, soon greater bad news came from Jiangnan West Road - Ji Prefect General Shi Luqi also failed to survive until the day he was appointed by the emperor again and died.

It is said that when he died, Lu Qi's house had less than ten pieces of cloth, leaving only half a jar of rice and half a dou of salt. His son Lu Yuanfu had almost no spring clothes to wear, so he did not cover his body. The local governor Zhang Boyi privately paid tens of thousands of dollars to mourn, and asked Lu Yuanfu and his family to send the coffin back to his hometown, which was buried in Huazhou, Henan Province.

Before Lu Qi died, he submitted a memorial to the Emperor of the Ming Palace, thanking the emperor for his concern and was killed without letting him punish him, because he was guilty of this country, and said that the bird was about to die and his singing was mourning, begging the emperor to take care of his son Yuanfu. In addition, Lu Qi also asked someone to return the several paper umbrellas he had given to him from Sima Ren in Fengzhou to Jizhou and when he passed through Xingyuan Prefecture, he returned to the original owner, and expressed his gratitude to Gao Yue, saying that at the most difficult time, Gao Yue and Wei Gao were willing to take care of him and did not discriminate against him. This kind of kindness was returned to me after entering the underworld, but because Gao Yue had already rushed to the capital at this time, he missed it.

It is said that when the emperor heard about Lu Qi's death, he hid alone in the Liangyi Hall of the Daming Palace, silently shed tears for a long time, but he could not give any gifts to Lu Qi because the ministers in the court could not allow it.

Those who died with Lu Qi were Bai Zhizhen, who had just taken office as the Zhejiang East-West Observer.

The emperor is extremely lonely now, and there are no other powerful ministers (with soldiers, horses, money and food) who can entrust things to do, except for the senior year of high school.

He himself kept asking the middle-level official to urge him, and also asked the eldest daughter Princess Lingxu to write a letter to Gao Yue, saying that the matter of immediately extermination and suppression of the Dangxiang could be discussed in detail in the Lingxu Temple of Fuxingfang.

But Gao Yue found Lu Zhi first.

Because Lu Zhi is now the most powerful figure in the court, he is actually the "prime minister of affairs". Not long ago, the emperor asked the eunuchs to use a carriage to bring his widowed mother, Wei, who lives in Wuxing, to Chang'an City, all the way, so that Lu Zhi could be gentle with his mother's side, and to manage Wei's houses in Chang'an and Luoyang, and gave many female musical instruments. It was extremely glorious. The officials and ministers in the court gave Wei's property privately, but Lu Zhi returned it all, including the emperor's reward. Lu Zhi refused to accept any of them, saying that his salary and houses are now enough for his mother to support her, and he was unwilling to take a penny from others.

Gao Yue did not bring any gifts to Lu Zhi during this trip, but it was still possible to talk to him about government affairs. He changed his law and cut it down, recorded it in the letter of the long-term and sent it to Lu Zhi.

Sure enough, he and Lu Zhi hit it off.

Lu Zhi immediately said, Yisong, you think there are still any difficulties in implementing it, so you can tell me directly.

Gao Yue, who had entered the Xingyuan Jinzou Temple in the capital, immediately sent Wei Tuotian to Lu Zhi to deliver a message, saying that I wanted to privately communicate with Prime Minister Li Mi and Jia Dan.

Lu Zhi said it was no problem, and I would leave it to me.

Soon, the emperor was in a better mood because he stood in front of Linde Hall and watched Gao Yue enter the capital this time. As Xing Yuanyin's tributes, such as horses, beautiful jade, falcons, paper umbrellas, fragrant sushi oil, etc., they piled up in the corridor. They knew that the senior high school had arrived in the capital now.

So the emperor distributed Xiangsu hair oil to the female officials who were accompanying Song Ruohua and Song Ruozhao, who said that this was a specialty of Xingyuan Mansion and was particularly good at maintaining hair. Don’t forget to bring a portion to Ruoxian.

Ruohua and Ruozhao hurriedly thanked him.

At this time, the two princesses of Lingxu and Yiyang, who were also with the emperor, took a fancy to the Longqi specialty offered by Gao Yue: three exquisite lacquer red-horned bows.

Lingxu's eyes were gathered and full of energy. He held the horn bow in his hand, pulled it several times after putting it on the string, and couldn't help but feel very intoxicated, praising the bow for being really excellent.

"That's natural, Lingxu, you know that this bow was made by buying bamboo ox horns from the Qingzhou Dangqiang Fanluo for a large sum of money." The emperor was very proud.

Lingxu and Yiyang don’t know what bamboo cow is.

At this time, Song Ruohua, who is well-versed in books, explained that the bamboo cow is a kind of cow in the territory of Yuzhou and Qingzhou. It is extremely majestic and has very long horns (some people say that bamboo cows are yaks, but judging by the situation at that time, people in the Tang and Song dynasties would never have seen yaks, and perhaps it is unknown whether the hybridization of yaks and yellow cows is not known). The yellow and black are interspersed, and the skin can be made into armor, and the horn tendons can be made into bows and arrows, shooting through hundreds of scoops.

Seeing that Lingxu and Yiyang couldn't put down this Niujiao bow, the emperor said three, two for you and one for me.

Lingxu was overjoyed, took the bamboo ox red horn bow, and immediately whispered to his father: "Master, the girl will go back to the Taoist temple immediately, ask someone to clean up and set up a small banquet to facilitate the discussion between me and the senior high school."

Who would have thought that Li Shi sighed and pulled Lingxu alone to a place ten feet away from the corridor, and whispered to her: "Lingxu, you didn't enter the Sangmen to be a nun, but you were willing to enter the Tao to be a female crown. Finally, you are a free person. So there are some elegant and handsome scholars in the capital. If you are willing to date, I will not forbidden."

The implication is that as long as you don’t involve the government affairs like your aunt or the princesses before, it doesn’t matter if the disputes between the crown princesses are like a romantic event, it’s also a beautiful story for the princess of the Tang Dynasty to do these things.

Lingxu blushed, and there was a hint of resentment and resentment in her eyes. She just told her father that her daughter served the ancestor Emperor Xuanyuan in the Taoist temple and was enough to help her clean up the country. Let the love between children and other children go with the wind!

"Sister, can you hold your body in your body?" As a result, when Lingxu and Yiyang joined forces and walked out of the West Garden of Daming Palace on horseback, Yiyang asked this.

"Stop talking! Yiyang, you are getting more and more unruly." Lingxu was poked suddenly, his face turned red again, and he was at a loss.

But compared with her, Princess Yiyang has already had the experience of being a veteran and is already a young woman. She said indifferently: It’s a matter of men and women. It hurts so much when a woman gave her original life at first, but now, if she doesn’t do anything for several days, her body will feel so suffocated. After the pain, she will feel all kinds of tastes. This is the reason why eating the marrow and knows the taste.

Lingxu was even more swaying in his heart, and he was confused and could only ride a horse and lower his head. After reaching the palace gate, he changed to the shoulder carriage (the monks and Taoist priests of Tang Luli are not allowed to ride horses, both men and women, and returned to Fuxingfang.

The peach blossoms were blooming in full bloom and were so beautiful. Lingxu walked out of the hall and saw Gao Yue, who was invited by the "Government Tribute Li Fenglong", who was wearing a black head and wearing a soft white robe, standing under the peach tree, watching the petals swelling.

Soon, Li Fenglong also came, and there were two handsome young men around him. Gao Yue recognized them as being played by female officials Song Ruohua and Song Ruozhao.

"The biggest problem in the fight against the Party is military expenditure." After sitting down, Gao Yue spoke up and said this topic.
