Chapter 9: Watching the Flowers

When the drums on the various watchtowers in Chang'an City rang one after another, it was already sunset. If it was sunny, it would be cloudy today and there was no sunshine.

Outside Danfeng Gate, the officials at the duty station came out of the court, and there were many domestic slaves, grooms and the like outside the palace, and there were many people.

Xue Chongxun rarely sees the situation at the palace gate, because he always leaves early, and at most he goes to see the emperor and does not work in daily life.

Only when the Ministry of Revenue recently established a money store, which he led to, was the one who often walked around the Secretariat.

A group of carriages and horses walked south along Danfeng Street, and the people on both sides were familiar faces. Pang Er Jixiang, Fang Yu Zhong and other slaves almost every day; there were also Li Kuiyong and other Flying Tiger Regiment Guards, and some soldiers Xue Chongxun were not famous because they didn't talk to them on weekdays, but they looked very familiar.

Sanniang was also sitting in the carriage. Her job was to protect Xue Chongxun's safety in close proximity. Although Xue Chongxun is also a martial artist, he was not very proficient in methods such as assassination of secret moves. It is most likely that she should be safer with her around.

Sanniang is also a dull gossip. It is rare to hear her say something. When she is on the road, Xue Chongxun's ears are mostly filled with Jixiang's mumbling words that made Ma Husband Pang Er play.

Unexpectedly, Sanniang exchanged a greeting today, and she said lightly: Mr. Lang looks a little tired.

Is that true?Xue Chongxun said casually.

Then Sanniang heard her ummy and there was no further information.Xue Chongxun is not surprised either. She has such a personality. It is surprising that she can put up a word that sounds like caring about others.

exhausted?After Sanniang reminded her, Xue Chongxun really felt a little tired.I didn't do anything in the morning all day, it was mainly due to psychological pressure.

Now that this stall is open, Xue Chongxun finds it difficult to control it.

He was self-aware and was not good at general principles. He admired the ability of Zhuge Liang, who could understand the world's context by sitting at home like Zhuge Liang, but unfortunately he was obviously not that great.

If you can survive to this kind of power, you will probably have better cards in your hand, you have the resources created by Princess Taiping, and you are a clan; and you will beat Li Longji at a critical point.

There is an advantage of being foresighted against Li Longji, but now this situation does not have the advantage of the past...

Empress Dowager Gao ruled behind the curtain to control power. What consequences would this matter have? Will it inspire conflicts?

Xue Chongxun himself couldn't make it.

The world is too big, there are only a few things that a person can hold in his hand. Who knows what will happen?

All he can do is to make the situation develop in a direction that is conducive to his own rule as much as possible, because the situation he faces is reasonable and righteous only when he has the final say. Once others have the final say, they will wait to die.

That's the reason to look at the world from a dark perspective.

Money Method This step, Xue Chongxun believes that it is the right way to go, which is not only conducive to making money, but also a layout.

A few years ago, Zhang Shuo proposed the official and healthy law, which made the army more professional and freed more strong men from military service, which was conducive to economic development. Tax growth in the past two years and the prosperity of several major cities in Kanto showed the problem; and the successful reform of the money law is undoubtedly a stimulant to the ancient economy, and the prosperity of the market will be foreseen soon.

Because once the banknotes obtain credit and have a hard reserve within the safe range, five banknotes can be issued. Once the total amount and circulation of the currency increase, isn’t the result very obvious?

As long as the Tang Dynasty's economy could continue to flourish, it would be difficult to experience large-scale turmoil.The subjects are very practical. How many people rebel with their heads before they have no food to eat?

In the past few months, Xue Chongxun reads "Biography of Wang Mang" from time to time, and has read almost the same thing about Wang Mang usurping the power.

It's also quite difficult for him, because they are all looking at traditional Chinese without punctuation.

Before this, he really couldn't understand what Wang Mang's story was, but he just knew that there was this person.

In the late Western Han Dynasty, if there were no economic problems, it was hard to say whether Emperor Guangwu could have the capital to turn around.

Therefore, Xue Chongxun concluded that allowing people all over the world to live in an economic prosperity can better avoid the difficulties faced by Wang Mang.

Xue Chongxun thought about the context of the money law in his mind for a while, and then thought that the central power structure was coming, he was indeed a little worried that Empress Dowager Gao would inspire some conflicts when he was in charge of the government.

Once aristocrats and public opinion in the public opinion in the power is evil, the regime that loses people's hearts is equivalent to being illegal; controlling public opinion and implementing high-pressure policies is not a good way. The ancients have said that guarding the people is better than guarding Sichuan...

If the government orders are not understood, everything will be done, and it will be useless to occupy the Daming Palace in Chang'an.

So after Xue Chongxun returned to Anyifang, he first went to the prince's kingdom and told Wang Changling that Empress Dowager Gao was about to listen to the politics, asking him to convene his confidant aides to hold a meeting tomorrow and write out his opinions and strategies in the near future.

Isn’t the staff team supposed to do this?However, Xue Chongxun still felt that Li Guishou had a better understanding of ancient politics, but unfortunately it was difficult to receive this person.

……

After a while, he walked into the inner house and looked at the scenery of green trees and new branches and flowers blooming in the garden, and felt much more relaxed.

At this moment, he suddenly remembered that in the morning, Sun said he wanted him to go to the Tingyu Lake to watch the flowers, and he agreed to adjust his mood.

It was almost dark and there was no sunshine. It was not the best time to enjoy flowers in this weather, but I had to settle for it.

After walking north, you will find Tingyu Lake, and the study courtyard is on the banks of Tingyu Lake.

When Xue Chongxun walked to the lakeside, he looked at the sparkling lake surface and remembered that the name was taken by Jincheng. When he turned around, the branches of the peach forest were covered with buds.

In a short while, the peach blossoms will be fragrant. He seemed to see a fairy-like woman smiling like a flower, and her rotating skirt was particularly beautiful.

I really miss Jincheng. I went to Chengxiang Palace during the day to meet Empress Dowager Gao, but I didn't see her in the same palace.

He couldn't help but sigh.

As soon as I walked to the entrance of the study yard, I saw that Sun was already waiting there.

Seeing that Xue Chongxun's face was unstoppable, Sun tried to suppress his emotions and said, "I saw that Xue Lang hadn't come back for a long time, so I asked the kitchen to prepare the dishes outside the study. I could only drink and enjoy the flowers and enjoy the flowers together with dinner."

Xue Chongxun smiled and said: That's good, I'm sorry.The two walked into the yard together and walked along the road under the eaves. Xue Chongxun asked again, "Where is Yan'er?"

Sun whispered: I asked her to go to Concubine Cheng's side.

It turned out that she was ready. Xue Chongxun turned her head and looked at Sun's face, which became more and more delicate. Although she still maintained a dignified posture with her neck straight, the expectation and sweetness in her expression were completely different from the usual old-fashioned dignity, which was easy for Xue Chongxun to notice.

After a short period of time, Sun was in a good mood and asked about his well-being. His soft words were like a warm current, warming Xue Chongxun's tired body and mind. For a moment, he felt soft and warm.

Xue Chongxun was in a better mood and thought to himself: To be honest, Sun is really good. He is much better than a little girl. He can manage housework and comfort people, as if the surroundings are full of maternal love.

At this time, the gray sky seemed to be less depressed. When I walked to the pool at the back door of the study, I suddenly saw a few cherry trees covered with white flowers, like beautiful snowflakes. The sky and the earth were bright, and the spring flowers became vivid.

The two of them had supper under the beautiful scenery, and Sun also drank some wine.

During this period, two maids from Sun's room were waiting.

Sun talked about family fun things, but Xue Chongxun didn't have much, and occasionally spoke with a very interested look.

Naturally, he would not tell Sun that the Empress Dowager would listen to the government and other court affairs. If it were Jincheng, Xue Chongxun might have said it.

Seeing that Sun's sweet smile often hangs on her face, she knows that she is in high spirits. Perhaps she has been thinking about Xue Chongxun all day long...

If this were in modern times, I wouldn't know what it would be like, but at this moment, Sun didn't say a single ambiguous word.

Xue Chongxun gradually got used to this implicit love.

After dinner, the maids packed the table and Sun said: Xue Lang is good at writing poetry, so how about writing poetry?

Writing a poem?Xue Chongxun suddenly felt depressed.

Sun took the opportunity to fight the maid beside him: You go out first and let Xue Lang be quiet for a while.

yes.Xiao Cui and others bent their legs and avoided them.

Seeing this, Xue Chongxun suddenly realized: So that's what she meant, and I don't have to think hard about which song I still remember.He couldn't help but smile and said: Do you still want me to write poetry?

Sun stood up and slowly pulled the wooden lattice door, and said nervously: If we give up later, we...

Xue Chongxun looked at her undulating plump breasts, swallowed a mouthful, but said calmly: It’s almost dark, and there is nothing behind the trees behind it, but this door is bolted from the inside. What should I do if someone suddenly breaks in?

Probably not?Sun said softly, "Besides, those two girls have followed me for a long time, and even if they know, they don't dare to say it out."

Xue Chongxun nodded: This kind of thing cannot be hidden from everyone after a long time. Even if you don’t encounter it, it will make the people around you feel suspicious. Just take care of them.

Sun lowered his head and walked over slowly, saying in a trembling voice: What are you still standing?

After hearing this, Xue Chongxun hugged her slender waist and walked into her arms. With a soft cry, her soft breasts leaned over, and a trace of the smell of a nice woman's body came to her nose.

Didn’t I agree yesterday, just that one time?Xue Chongxun whispered in her ear.

Sun's ears turned red and he couldn't answer.

Xue Chongxun held her face and asked her to raise her head, but she could not look at each other affectionately and looked elsewhere, but the blushing color on her face was a unique charm.

When Xue Chongxun slowly approached her carefully rouge-applied red lips, she closed her eyes, as if this was a woman's instinctive reaction.
