Chapter 5 Chapter Five

In the early morning, just after dawn, Yang Hao woke up. These years, no matter how busy and tired he is, he must do morning classes every day, because he knows that as long as he finds a reason for himself to relax once, there will be a second or third time, and then What comes is not just the delay of morning martial arts practice, he will put down more and more things and indulge in a good and comfortable life. Everyone wants to enjoy a good and comfortable life, but he is not a second-generation grandpa who spends too much. Most people have to make endless efforts to get all this, and he is no exception.Looking back, Dong'er was lying beside him, sleeping soundly in a dream, with a lazy smile on his lips.Last night, he didn't use the dual-cultivation kung fu, he just let go of himself, and made love with Dong'er with all his heart, and how much he missed, he put it all into the tenderness of the night.

At this moment, Dong'er is still in a sweet sleep, her hair is disheveled, and her facial features are more feminine. When Yang Hao got up, he put on a brocade quilt, and Dong'er's fragrant shoulders were half exposed on his side, and his snowy and plump double peaks were half exposed on his chest. Under my black hair, I was in ecstasy. Yang Hao covered the quilt for her, tiptoed down to the ground, got up with his clothes on, and walked lightly to the courtyard.Breathing and exhaling, boxing and sword martial arts, after practicing in one trip, sweat is slightly dripping on the forehead.Dong'er felt light, if she went back to the house at this time, she would definitely wake up, Yang Hao thoughtfully stayed in the outer room, Xing'er and Xiao Yuan fetched water, waited for him to wash and change clothes, Yang Hao then walked to the front yard .

He originally wanted to live a corrupt life where the king never came to court for a few days, but Princess Aguli arrived yesterday, and Yang Hao had made an appointment to have breakfast with her today, and he had something to discuss, so he would not stay at the mansion for dinner. I already told Dong'er last night, so I don't need to tell you again. "elder sister……" As soon as Yang Hao left, Yanyan hurried into Dong'er's room, Dong'er quickly pulled Jin Wei to cover her body, and said with a soft smile, "Look at you, it's so early in the morning, what are you so anxious about?"

Yanyan is no longer a young girl, Donger's cheeks still have a faint blush that has not yet faded, the corners of her brows and eyes are full of spring, soft and lazy like a dewy lotus, how can she not see how satisfied she is with being watered by the rain and dew last night .Even if she couldn't tell from her expression, the two deep purple hickey marks on her snow-white and slender neck couldn't be concealed. The outspoken Yan Yan curled her lips, and said sourly: "What are you hiding, it's not like people can't see it." Dong'er smiled shyly, stretched out her jade arm, and slapped her quickly, then immediately withdrew her hand, covering her body even more tightly, only showing a face like a crabapple after the rain, and asked: "Early in the morning, You came here to make fun of me, right?"

"Do I have that leisurely mind?" Yanyan rolled her eyes, turned her head to look outside, then sat on the side of the couch, leaned over and asked mysteriously: "Sister, do you know what the officer did so early in the morning?" "What did you do?" "I heard from the maid that I'm going to have breakfast with Princess Aguli." Dong'er couldn't help laughing and said: "You girl, you are talking nonsense. The officials don't go to eat breakfast early in the morning. Do you have to wait until evening to eat breakfast? Hehehe..."

Yanyan stared and said, "Didn't sister hear clearly? He... went to have breakfast with Princess Aguli!" She deliberately bit down the words Princess Aguli and read the words, Dong'er blinked and said: "Then it's still breakfast, what's the difference?" Yanyan was extremely angry and said, "Didn't sister understand me?" Dong'er smiled and said: "Understood, but... In the past, the officials used to have breakfast with Mr. Zhong and Mr. Lin. Now Princess Aguli is the prefect of Ganzhou and the commander of the Huihe tribal army. She has just arrived in Xingzhou, and as a feudal official guarding one side, of course the officials must pay special attention to it."

"But she's a woman, and a very pretty one at that?" Dong'er blinked and asked, "Then what do you want?" Tang Yanyan was stunned for a moment, and Dong'er said, "Find a way to drive Aguli away?" Tang Yanyan shouted: "How is it possible? Don't mention her more than 200,000 soldiers and civilians in Ganzhou, just because she is now an official of the imperial court, how can we do such a reckless thing?" "So..., if the official really likes her, we firmly disagree?" Tang Yanyan said sullenly: "Although the official loves us, if he really wants to accept a concubine, who can control him? Didn't I realize that I was angry with him last time? There is no one who doesn't know how to love himself."

Dong'er laughed and said: "That's weird, then why did you come here early in the morning to tell me this?" "I..." Tang Yanyan thought about it carefully, and really didn't know what she was doing here.She just heard what the maid said, and then ran over. As for what she wanted to do, it seemed...she really couldn't do anything. "You." Dong'er patted her little hand on the couch lightly: "Girls are loyal to protect the lord and want to protect you in everything. Whenever they hear something that seems to threaten you, of course they want to tell you , That’s right, but you should always have some ideas of your own, don’t be in a hurry, and you’ve heard that wind is rain.”

Dong'er reached for the clothes beside the couch, Yanyan hurriedly handed them over to her, Dong'er turned over and sat up, at the same time when she got up, the clothes were already wrapped around her body, she wrapped her robe tightly and tied a ribbon, and said with a smile: " There are some things, you can’t dig into the horns, otherwise you’re just asking for trouble, understand?” Yanyan has a disobedient personality, only obeying Dong'er's words, sometimes she also wonders why Dong'er is so obedient to Dong'er, as if she is an amiable Respectable and trustworthy eldest sister.She has a fiery personality, and she can't hide things in her heart, but Dong'er is like water, and it is the softest and clearest spring rain, which can dispel her fiery nature without knowing it, and make her calm .

The brazier in the room was filled with charcoal fire early in the morning, making the room as warm as spring.Dong'er only wore a soft robe, got up gracefully, sat down by the dressing table, combed her makeup in front of the mirror, combed her hair lightly, and behaved gracefully and gracefully.Living in the body, nourishing the Qi, the little girl who was as timid as a rabbit back then is now a mature and charming little woman, like a dewy rose, with a graceful demeanor. Yushu combed her smooth and beautiful long hair to the end, tied it in a casual bun, and looked at the flames in the mirror that seemed to reflect reflections. Dong'er smiled: "The officials will not allow us to serve in the court anymore. My son stopped explaining to us. This is normal. There are no rules, and there must be no major national affairs. He will have to explain to you and me when he comes back, right?

In fact, the officials were also afraid that we would be bored, so they told us to do a lot of things other than political affairs, so don't put your mind on these boring things.That Princess Aguli, the official really cares about her very much, but I think differently from you. I think the official cares so much about her, and he is probably thinking about some kind of trickery. And this matter, Agu In all likelihood, Princess Li was also one of the participants. " She picked up a piece of lip paper, lightly opened her cherry lips, and lightly pressed against the mirror, saying: "If the official really liked her, he wouldn't act like this. He, when did he seriously chase after a woman?" gone?" Yanyan pouted and said, "That's not necessarily the case." Luo Dong'er looked back sweetly, and said with a smile: "Okay, then let's wait and see!"
"...Your Majesty, General Zhe's family has already passed Xiazhou. General Cheng Shixiong, the commander of Youzhou City, led his troops to greet him on the westbound main road, set up a tent and set up wine, and had a feast with General Zhe for one night. It is expected to be three days later. You can go to Yanzhou..." Mu Yuqiao, who lived in the living room, said respectfully. He noticed that Yang Hao was listening to him, but his eyes were always on a pretty woman. That pretty woman was standing on the glacier, wearing a snow-white hat. Wearing a mink fur hat, a well-fitting horse skirt, and a small jacket with a fox fur edge, she has icy muscles and bones, is handsome and clear, with distinct facial features and a pretty straight nose that is not entirely similar to women in the Central Plains. The pair of eyes under the two bright eyebrows have a soul-stirring beauty. They are the magistrate of Ganzhou, the commander of the Huihe Army, and the Seventh Princess of Yeluohe, the former Huihe Khan. A beautiful woman gives a man the desire to possess.A noble woman gives men the desire to conquer.This woman undoubtedly has the ability to completely seduce a man's desire to conquer and possess.Just like the priest Lucius who just came to Xingzhou to preach, he said that the demons who lead the hell to confuse human beings to commit crimes and bring those criminals into hell, this princess obviously has the capital to be a devil. It wasn't until he said that General Cheng Shixiong, who was stationed in Youzhou, left the camp without authorization, led the old troops to set up tents on the only way westward, and set up wine to welcome Zhe Yuxun, Yang Hao's eyes seemed to shrink, and his attention was drawn back. However, the flash of alertness in his eyes was not easy to be noticed by others. The Mushe people had just noticed his eyes, and he had regained his composure. "Okay, continue to pay attention to General Zhe's itinerary, and report to Yu Gu at any time. When he comes to Xingzhou, Gu will go out of the city to meet him in person." "Yes." Mu Yuqiao agreed respectfully, and saw Yang Hao walking forward excitedly, the snow under his feet creaked, and the target was the one who imitated Yang Xueer and whipped the ice spinning top with a small whip. , Princess Agugu who laughed heartily and cheerfully from time to time. Mu Yuqiao straightened up slowly, with a thoughtful smile on the corner of his mouth: "Cheng Shixiong was too enthusiastic for the old master, how could Yang Hao not feel embarrassed. He wanted to bring Yuxun back, but he thought The one who used this to attract the hearts of the old army of the family, but did not expect such a scene? Hehe, sharing adversity is easy, but sharing wealth is difficult. Originally, I vowed to go to Jingzhou to meet my brother-in-law, but now I changed my words to go out of the city welcome..." The smile on the corner of Mu Yuqiao's mouth disappeared in a flash, and he put on his usual respectful and serious expression again, and chased after him. After Yang Hao proclaimed the king and established a new bureaucratic system, he needed to promote and appoint a large number of talents to fill the new court. When he occupied Xiazhou and became an envoy of Dingnan Jiedu, there were many people who were not in the Central Plains. Aspiring scholars came here to join him, hoping to make a name for himself and make a career out of him.Mu Yuqiao defected to Yang Hao at that time. He is a scholar, after Zhongfang's personal assessment, this humanistic talent is still very good. Since he came to Yang Hao's command, he is cautious, serious in doing things, and answers correctly, gradually being favored by Zhongfang.When Yang Hao became the king of Xixia and established the cabinet and the six ministries, Zhong Fang made a selection of those who worked in the early stage, and each entrusted them with important responsibilities.He is a person who is highly valued by the species, so he got the position of living room. The rank of this official is not high, but it is very important. He is in charge of recording Yang Hao's daily actions and state affairs. In addition to the conferrals, sacrificial feasts, and introductions by ministers, civil and military ministers, there are also four seasons, climate, four directions, auspiciousness, increase and decrease of household registration, and abolition of states and counties. In addition, he also has the duty of admonishing the monarch. Ever since he became a housekeeper, he has gained the trust of Yang Hao. Now Yang Hao has added some rights for him to report and deliver urgent news, so that he and Fei Yu can follow the wind. The espionage organization has maintained proper contact. It can be said that this young man in his early thirties has stepped into the most core ruling circle, and he can be regarded as a confidant around Yang Hao. "Daddy, this thing is very fun, try it..." Yang Xue ran forward, and Princess Aguli, who was concentrating on the ice spinning top, raised her whip in a hurry, fearing that she would be caught. slippery, almost fell on his back. "Princess be careful!" Yang Hao hurriedly took a step to protect the flower, wrapped his arms around her slender waist, and said with concern: "Princess, be careful, the ice is very slippery." "Thank you for your help, King, just call me Aguli." Aguli straightened her back and stood up, twisting her waist and getting rid of his big hand without a trace. When she slipped just now, the sleeves of the skirt swung, and a piece of the skirt was blown up by the wind without slipping off, revealing a corner of the white silk skirt inside. The trouser legs were tucked into the long riding boots, and the tight legs were slender and graceful, slender and straight , even if it is wrapped in a layer of cotton material, it is not too bulky at all. Just by looking at it, one can imagine how round, firm, greasy and moving the slender jade legs are. But Mu Yuqiao who just arrived just took a look and then quickly looked away. Although he also noticed Yang Hao's greedy gaze, Yang Hao could see it, but he couldn't see it. Blind stuff. When Yang Hao came to the Yellow River, he seemed to be traveling in the mountains and rivers, but in fact, the purpose of his tour was to inspect the geography near the capital.Yang Hao has completed the setting up of the official body, and the appointment of all the officials, but many important civil and military officials under him are still in various places, and they didn't come here so quickly, so his proclaiming the king's ceremony will be temporary. Can not finish it. Although the coldest time has passed at this time, spring has not yet come. Winter is the most boring season in Northwest China. Folks say that cats are in winter and cats are in winter. Many people will really stay at home with nothing to do this winter.Now that Hanhai is west, only the palace in Xingzhou is the only place where construction is still in full swing this winter. Yang Hao had nothing to do, so he began to visit Shunzhou, Huaizhou, Dingzhou, and Jingzhou around Xingzhou, and patrolled the two military fortresses of Luobao Dasang Valley and Qingtongxia.As these important places near the capital, he should naturally be aware of them. As for bringing concubines and children, he naturally also has some intention of relaxing and enjoying them. Now I am in Tanliang City, which is the farthest and last stop of this trip. The reason why this place is also set as a tour is because it is the place with the highest grain production in Hexi. The entire Hexi is the most developed area of ​​agriculture, and the current grain output accounts for more than 70% of the entire Hexi, Yang Hao naturally cannot but pay attention to it. After interviewing the local officials on the first day, several officials from the cabinet and the Ministry of Household Affairs, accompanied by the local officials, visited the local area today, met with the gentry, and went to observe the people's sentiments. The wives and family members of gentry and celebrities, Princess Aguli is the only woman among the officials on this trip, and she doesn't have much to say to them. Besides, the farming here is well developed, and the conditions near Ganzhou are only suitable for the development of animal husbandry and industry and commerce, not suitable for agriculture. development, so she's not interested in these things.It happened that Yang Hao was going to take the little princess to play by the Yellow River, Mr. Zhong made a casual joke, and she naturally followed. With Mu Yuqiao's wit, he always felt that this was an opportunity for Yang Hao and his confidantes to be alone.Could it be that Yang Hao wants to take Aguli as his concubine? It is no wonder that Mu Yuqiao thinks so. Judging from Yang Hao's performance, he seems to really mean it. Aguli is as beautiful as a flower, with strong martial arts skills. She is also the leader of the 200,000 Huihe people in Ganzhou. She is accepted as his concubine. , the 200,000 Huihe people can be firmly controlled in the hands without any effort. If any ruler is changed, this account will be settled, right?It's no wonder that the adults Zhong Fang and Lin Pengyu are happy to see the success and deliberately create opportunities for them. But judging from the current situation, I'm afraid Luohua has intentions and Liushui is ruthless.Ever since Ye Luohe used her and her whole family as scapegoats to create opportunities for herself to escape, this princess hated men very much, and she did not pretend to be polite to anyone, except Yang Hao, who was a great king, who could still get close to her, and others stayed away from her. From three feet away, I could feel the breath on her body that was colder than winter. Mu Yuqiao has never been to Ganzhou, and this is the first time he has seen Princess Aguli, but he knows a lot of things, and as someone close to Yang Hao, he still keeps in touch with Fei Yu Suifeng, so he doesn't care if he can't He saw it with his own eyes and heard it with his own ears, but he could still inquire about many things, things that others would not be able to inquire about even if they wanted to. "Little girl, don't run around, watch out for falling." Yang Hao seemed to be aware of Princess Aguli's indifference, and he picked up his daughter to cover up his embarrassment: "Where is Shanshan, have you taught her how to play a spinning top?" Yang Xue said triumphantly: "Sister is so stupid, she can't teach her how to teach her. I played ice for a walk by myself and lent her the little white wolf." As Yang Xue said, she turned her head and looked, and immediately yelled: "Wow! Stupid Shanshan, what are you doing?" It turned out that in order to let the king eat the freshest big carp from the Yellow River, the local Lizheng Township official specially brought two riverside farmers to the Yellow River to shave ice and fish. Yang Shan saw them shave a hole in the ice, and fished out a The big fish, which was about the same size as her own body, couldn't help being amazed, so the little girl also became interested, and regardless of the obstruction of her maid who took care of her, the second miss wanted to go fishing by herself. It's just that she didn't use a hook for bait. The little princess gave full play to her imagination and called her sister's favorite pet, the little white wolf, and ordered it to throw its tail into the ice hole.Yang Xue turned her head and saw that the little white wolf was squatting on the ice hole, with a long tail sticking out of the water, grinning and silently complaining to the little master. Seeing Yang Xue panicked, she quickly broke free from Yang Hao's arms and ran towards Yang Shan. When Yang Shan saw her sister's flushed face, she immediately felt that she might have caused trouble, so she immediately rushed to Xiao Yuan's bed. In her arms, let her hug herself, Yang Xue rushed over and hugged the little white wolf's neck and dragged it out of the ice hole. As soon as the big tail touched the ground, it immediately stuck to the ice, Yang Xue was so anxious. Call. Princess Aguli couldn't help laughing when she saw it, she laughed and rushed over to help while smiling.Just as Yang Hao wanted to follow, a messenger hurried over and handed several letters to Mu Yuqiao. "What's the matter?" Yang Hao stopped, turned his head and asked. After Mu Yuqiao signed the letter, the courier left in a hurry. Mushe opened the letter and saw a smile on his face. He bowed and said, "Your Majesty, both Gaochang and Khotan have sent envoys. Now on the way, the Nianbaga tribe has also sent envoys, and...King Kucha also sent congratulatory envoys." Yang Hao was surprised and delighted after hearing this: "Really? Just take a look." Yang Hao snatched the letter from Ding Chengzong, read it carefully, and showed a smug smile on his face: "Khotan, I know that I will definitely send envoys, and I have helped him so much. Is there any reason not to come to congratulate each other? Gaochang Kingdom is a bit unexpected. Not to mention the Nianbaga Tribe and Kucha Kingdom. Kucha originally relied on the Kara Khans. , the Nianbaga tribe has always been subject to the Liao Kingdom, and they will not easily decide their attitude towards a country. They also came to pay homage to the king, haha..." Mu Yuqiao smiled and said, "Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty, it can be seen that the countries in the Western Regions have already regarded His Majesty as the number one overlord in the Western Regions, otherwise they would not come to curry favor with you." "Ha ha……" Yang Hao smiled and said complacently: "Gu Neng is the king of a commoner, and now he owns the land of eighteen prefectures in Hexi. Even the Guiyi Army Zhang Yichao, who is most respected by the people of Hexi, is far less big than the kingdom built by Gu, hey! There are nearly three million people in the land of eighteen prefectures. Looking at the world, apart from the Song and Liao countries, who else can be as good as the lonely king? Haha..." Seeing this, Mu Yuqiao quickly complimented him: "Yes, it's only been a few years, and the king has become the overlord of the Western Regions. If we take time and wait until the army is strong and horses are strong before entering the Central Plains, my king will be the co-lord of the world." Yang Hao shook his head and said: "Hey, it's wishful thinking to go east to the Central Plains. The Song Kingdom is so big that I can't match it in the northwest because of the barrenness in the northwest. The generals of the Song Dynasty are like clouds, with excellent soldiers, and their strength is unmatched. , even if the Liao Kingdom, which is famous for its military power, is really inferior to it, it is lucky that it does not come to fight Gu, how can Gu go to stroke the tiger's beard lightly?" Mu Sheren said cautiously: "My lord, are Song people really so strong? The battle of Hengshan, your lord..." "Hmph! Don't look at the fact that I didn't suffer much in the battle of Hengshan. It's because there is no way to retreat. The rabbit bites people when it is anxious. There is no way to retreat, so I can only go all out. It doesn't matter whether you succeed or lose, don't worry about it." There is no way out. But the Song State... There was chaos in Bashu in the Song Dynasty, and the Khitan Tigers looked down upon it outside, so they didn't do their best for me at all. They were able to occupy the land of Hexi and form a country of their own. Is it a blessing to invite heaven to take control of the Central Plains in a remote place on the western edge of Hexi?" "But I think... Song Guo is very ambitious, and if he frees up his hand in the future, it may be bad for Xia Guo." "Hahahaha, a scholar's opinion." Yang Hao shook his head and said: "Soldiers are important to the country. Do you want to fight? Why do you want to fight? Why did you come? Song has already occupied the most affluent place in the world. The only thing they want to fight for is Youyan, because that is The barrier in the north of the Song Dynasty is located in the northwest. The land is barren. It is just a tasteless piece of land for the Central Plains. ,hehe……" Speaking of this, Yang Hao suddenly became a little vigilant, and said: "There is no need to write down these words. Gu... just talking with you in private." "Yes!" Mu Yuqiao knew that he hadn't gotten used to the new identity, even the solitary character used to refer to himself, from time to time, he said "Zhen" or "I", and sometimes he didn't pay attention to his words, said something casually, and then asked him again Don't write it down, it's not the first time it happened, so I didn't think it was strange, and quickly agreed. Not far away, Yang Xue was pulling out the wolf's tail with a blushing face. Princess Aguli was holding a dagger in her hand. Holding the sword and eating and laughing, Yang Hao saw Mu Yuqiao and walked towards them. Mu Yuqiao wanted to follow again, but Yang Hao waved his hands and said, "It's just that I brought the two little princesses to the upper reaches of the glacier to enjoy the scenery of the northern country, so you don't have to follow all the time." Mu Yuqiao said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the duty of a minister is not only to record the important events of the country, but also the daily speech and behavior of the Majesty." Yang Hao said impatiently: "It's so boring, I'm just going to accompany my daughter now, what do you want to record, don't you want to record when I'm back in the harem, when I'm with my concubine?" Mu Yuqiao said in fear: "I dare not, how dare I be so disrespectful. But as long as the king goes to the court or leaves the palace, the minister has to accompany him to record everything. This is the duty of the minister..." "Okay, okay, what rules are not settled alone? Remember, when I am with women in the future, I don't need you to follow. Take this as a line, you can wait there, dare to take a step, cut alone I killed your head!" Yang Hao turned around and left after saying that, Mu Yuqiao had to stand where he was and smile wryly. Yang Hao went over to look at it for a while, but he couldn't do anything about Xiaobai's big tail that was in close contact with the ice surface, so he had to call two farmers who were shaving ice to fetch fish, and told them to shave the wolf's tail even with a large piece of ice. When it got down, the little wolf dragged a piece of ice, reluctantly rushed to the little master and whined, Yang Xue felt so wronged, and burst into tears, Yang Hao hurriedly coaxed him when he saw it. At this moment, Mu Sheren received another official letter. He opened it and couldn't help being surprised. He didn't dare to delay this matter, but he didn't dare to cross the line that Yang Hao's feet had drawn. Being selected to work beside Yang Hao, knowing how to measure is his advantage.He stood still, waved the official letter in his hand and shouted: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Xingzhou has sent important news!"
