Chapter 56 Lonely

In order to pass the money method as soon as possible, Xue Chongxun went to Zichen Palace to meet Empress Gao again.After all, both of them need to form an alliance. Dou Huaizhen can see her, so Xue Chongxun can do it.

As long as Empress Gao agrees to help, it is easy for the emperor who ignores the government to nod.

Nowadays, the imperial power is insignificant, mainly because the emperor does not care about it. However, the power structure of the center was formed over a hundred years, and the holy will of the palace is still a very influential part under the legal structure.

So as long as the emperor nods and no one in the Nanya opposes it, any government orders can be implemented.

Xue Chongxun naturally did not explicitly explain the huge benefits that money law brings to himself and the importance of power layout. He only said that it benefits the country and the people, and was determined to accomplish it.

There are some things that Queen Gao understands, and she agrees with her mouth and shows the sincerity among allies.

Xue Chongxun breathed a sigh of relief in this matter, and he was determined to reform the money law.

I had prepared a lot of reasons and exchange conditions to convince Queen Gao, but I didn't expect that she would agree so easily that those preparations would not be enough.

After just saying a few words to each other, the words that were about to say goodbye after achieving their goal seemed a bit snobbish. After all, it was a long-term ally, and Xue Chongxun also had to take into account his face and friendship.

So he talked about some nonsense again, because he didn't know much about Empress Gao's preferences, so he could only pick up happy topics, and somehow he talked about the lively Lantern Festival again.

Maybe it was because I talked to the ministers about this topic when I was in court a few days ago, so I was more familiar with it.

Gao seemed to listen very seriously, and occasionally asked a small question, such as Zhang Xianggong drank a few glasses of wine, etc., and said that he was very interested.

But this kind of politeness and gentle attitude is very artificial. She is obviously very kind, but she gives people a feeling thousands of miles away.

However, Xue Chongxun was used to this way of talking, so he didn't care. He just said it casually and left when the time was about to finish.

If he doesn't look for topics, Gao will take the initiative to find topics and try to avoid embarrassment and unhappiness.

Suddenly, Xue Chongxun understood that Gao was a cold beauty!

If some noble women look arrogant and cold, they are cold outside, so cold that they are so cold that they are...

Imagine a person you are very familiar with who always talks politely to you and does not show any personal opinions or emotions. What does it feel like?

Generally, when you encounter the so-called ice beauty, men who think they are awesome will always be aroused from conquest.

Somehow, Xue Chongxun didn't have much desire to conquer Gao. Maybe because she was Brother Fen's wife, Brother Fen was his cousin.

The chat has been going on for quite some time, and it is enough from the perspective of friendship, so Xue Chongxun turned around and looked at the sunshine outside the hall.

Usually, he makes this move, saying that it is too late to say goodbye.

Just then, Gao suddenly asked: Outside... the lamp market is very lively, right?

Xue Chongxun swallowed the farewell words that had come to his mouth and replied politely: Well, there are many people and many lamps, which is not much worse than in the Daming Palace.

Gao sighed softly: Daming Palace is not very lively either.

how?Xue Chongxun suddenly felt a little strange. Perhaps the reason why her words felt different from usual was somewhat her personal emotions.

Gao showed a very reluctant smile and shook his head and said: I heard Xue Lang say so beautifully, I just ask casually.

Oh... Xue Chongxun stood up and said, "It's getting late, so say goodbye."

Yu Liben sent Xue Lang out of the palace for me.

The eunuch Yu Liben, who was standing beside him, hurriedly bowed and said, "I obey the order."

Xue Chongxun walked a few steps towards the palace gate, suddenly stopped, turned around and said: Before her mother got sick, there were cars and horses in front of her door, and there were many people coming and going, but she would also feel lonely... This kind of thing has nothing to do with the number of people.

Gao Shi said: I don’t feel lonely, Xue Lang is thinking too much.

Xue Chongxun laughed and clasped his fists and said: So that's it.

Unexpectedly, just as he was about to leave, Gao finally said: What does that... have to do with it?

Yu Li Ben, who was standing beside him, was waiting silently for them to stutter, as if saying: Why should I say goodbye before I finished speaking? If I had nothing to say, why should I stutter?

This... Xue Chongxun pondered for a moment. There were other palace servants in the palace, and some words were inconvenient, otherwise it would easily cause trouble for Gao.He smiled after thinking about it, and I couldn't explain it clearly.

Oh... Gao's expression was obviously a little disappointed, which was very different from his usual calmness.

Xue Chongxun turned around and left.

Yu Liben sent Xue Chongxun out of the Zichen Hall and walked down the high stone stairs.

Every time Yu Liben and Xue Chongxun were in a good mood. It was strange that when he was with the ministers of the foreign court, he would always think that he was a eunuch, but he rarely remembered his physical disability in front of Xue Chongxun...

Just as casual as friends.

Yu Liben said in a joking tone: Xue Lang clearly knows the answer that the Empress wants to know just now, so why don’t he say it?

Xue Chongxun laughed and scolded: You want to ask for helping the queen, right?Why don’t you think about the answer yourself to help her?

Yu Liben looked thoughtful, and after a long time, he shook his head and said: The miscellaneous family has never thought of such a thing.

Will Master Yu feel lonely?Xue Chongxun asked.

I saw Yu Liben thinking hard and unable to understand it.

Xue Chongxun was also thinking about it intermittently and talking nonsense: Some animals can survive alone, but humans were species that lived alone at the beginning... Now society has formed a way to survive together... Human minds are more complicated than birds, animals, and animals. They think more and have more needs.Eunuch Yu thought about it, why do we still have to fight with others when we are full and warm in food?It’s nothing more than trying to get recognition from others and realize one’s own value, so people ask for more.

Yu Liben nodded: Xue Lang said this, it seems that this is true.

He then whispered, the princes of the princes' houses were helpless, and if any of them had the chance, they would probably not be willing to live such a life of food and clothes to reach out... the prince would have the chance.Ha... I'm going too far, Xue Lang will talk about the matter at first. After a while, the queen asked, "Is there something that the miscellaneous family said?"

Xue Chongxun frowned and thought for a while, and expressed his meaning with some difficulty: In addition to food, clothing, housing and transportation, people have other needs, and everyone is different.Some people can meet this need through money and material things, while others need to be in a high position to gain power, return home in glory, praise it by the world, and be famous in history, and feel great relief... Different personalities and different needs will cause differences. There is also a kind of person who thinks that those irrelevant visions are not important, so they don’t care whether they are famous in history or praise by the world, but they long for someone to accompany them in their hearts. Only then can they not feel lonely...

Some ideas are hard to express. Xue Chongxun said it hard, and it is even more difficult to understand Yu Liben. Even if he is a very smart eunuch, after all, the thinking patterns of the ancients were somewhat limited.

But he was indeed very smart, and soon understood something, saying: What Xue Lang said is to find what he needs... Is the queen who needs someone to accompany her in her heart?

The words are too heavy.Xue Chongxun hurriedly said, "The lord of the queen's harem is deeply favored by the emperor. How dare we say that?"

Yu Liben smiled and clasped his fists and said: There is no one else here, so it’s okay to say it. The miscellaneous family will naturally not say that in front of the queen, which is very harmful.

It is really easy to make friends with Eunuch Yu.Xue Chongxun smiled.

But he was asking himself in his heart: I have said so much to others, so what do I want?Is it worthy of being praised by thousands of people in history, or is it true that it is worthy of being held in history?

The two walked out of the Zichen Hall complex, and Xue Chongxun's pine wood carriage brought back from Shanzhou was leaning there. He politely said to Yu Liben: Let's go here, don't send it away, you can see it often.

Yu Liben also returned the favor and said a few polite words.

Xue Chongxun got in front of the car and said: The queen is too worried and worried too much, so she is in a bad mood. Eunuch Yu comforts her at the right time... He hesitated for a moment and said, "I am also worried about the Queen's worries, so we have cold lips and teeth. I will not sit idly and watch at any time, please feel at ease."

After seeing Xue Chongxun off, Yu Liben turned around and went back to serve Empress Gao.

As eunuchs, being able to show up frequently in front of those who are superior and gain favor from those who are superior is the greatest success. What kind of official position (eunuchs of the Tang Dynasty can have official positions) is false to them.

Yu Liben has been with several generations of emperors, and was the eunuch who was the most trusted eunuch in front of Princess Taiping, so he naturally understood these things very clearly.

It is a must-do to be able to relieve worries and please the superiors, otherwise favoring ones will not last long.

So when Yu Li originally reported in front of Gao, he took the opportunity to say: I have talked to the King of Jin for a while, and I am late to come back. Please forgive me.

Sure enough, Gao asked casually: What are you talking about?

According to Yu Liben's idea, the queen regarded Xue Chongxun as a very important alliance, and she must be more concerned about Xue Chongxun's affairs.

He hurriedly replied respectfully: The King of Jin said it a little mysteriously. I didn’t understand it very well. It was probably because of the reason why people were lonely.

Gao raised his thick eyebrows and said quietly: What is the reason why the King of Jin’s mansion is not short of beautiful wives and beautiful concubines?

Yu Liben said: The King of Jin did not say that he was alone, that everyone was lonely because no one understood the worries in his heart... He also said that the Empress was worried and fearful, and he was also worried.

Gao suddenly remembered that on the east bank of Taizhechichi the day before yesterday, she saw a concubine who had lost power in the previous dynasty. She was wearing sloppy skin and yellow clothes, sitting in the sun boringly and counting her fingers. This was something she was afraid of. When she thought of what Xue Chongxun was afraid of, he might be worried that he would be liquidated if he lost power?

She pondered for a moment and said: He was worried about how to die, and I was worried about how to live.
