Chapter 78 Who knows the daughter's heart
Princess Xiurong’s Mansion.
The phoenix was lying on the wooden couch on the west side, holding candied fruit from the small table next to it, throwing it high, catching it open, and having fun.
Yuan Mulan was wearing a single dress, her hair was hanging down to her waist, sitting in a chair beside the window, looking at the book lazily and leisurely.
This is the most peaceful time.
"Hey, what do you think of Xu You?" Luanbird turned over and sat up, his eyes blazed with stars, and said, "Duke Qin, Taiwei, General, is a record of the Shangshu, and is also a great master. He is above ten thousand people in the State of Chu. For you, you can travel thousands of miles to the enemy's territory and assassinate He Yang. Who can compare such a strange man in the world? But after he killed someone, he floated away, neither came to show his merits, nor asked for any reward. Is it a pretext to play hard to get, or a pretext to play hard to get?"
Yuan Mulan reads books on her own and ignores her.
Luanbird held his cheek with his hands and said, "What I am most convinced is that he will kill someone if he kills, and he took advantage of the opportunity to dig a big pit for Lingzhi. Hey, Bodhi Gong is not the Qingque Tongue of his Xu family. Come on whenever he wants to, and you can have it if you want to? By the way, I heard you say that the Bodhi Gong practiced by that girl named Fang Sinian is more pure than Lingzhi, but he didn't learn it, but even Kang Jing was hidden. The Grand Master is really omnipotent?"
Yuan Mulan finally couldn't stand it, so she closed the book, covered her ears with her hands, and said, "How great would it be if the dignified Hou Guan Cao's phoenix bird would be a mute..."
The phoenix bird cried out and said, "Without my mouth, Xu You didn't know that a mighty princess of the Great Wei have actually been in crisis. You don't thank me, I accept it, but you dislike me and I can't bear it!"
Yuan Mulan said helplessly: "Aren't Hou Guan Cao very busy? You eat and drink in my princess's house every day, and the emperor bird won't cause trouble for you?"
"The affairs of Pingcheng are originally the emperor birds. I am in charge of the outer marquis, only to the outside, not to the inside. Wei and Chu are now ally, and the egrets in Jiangdong only focus on collecting daily information. Yu Zhong and Xu You are also good at speaking, so I don't have to worry about everything..."
Luanniao walked over and hugged Yuan Mulan from behind, leaned close to her crystal clear earlobes, and chuckled, "I only worry about one thing, when will you have a baby with Xu You..."
Yuan Mulan tilted her head and looked at her coldly.
"What's wrong, am I so beautiful?"
"I want to see how shameless an unmarried girl is so shameless..."
"The etiquette of upholding etiquette is the great etiquette. How come Duke Zhou is so filthy that he teaches his people? Do you look down on Duke Zhou or Xu You?"
Yuan Mulan suddenly turned around, pressed the phoenix into the chair, and used her moves like lightning, sealing her acupoints, tickling and scolding: "I have been tolerating you for a long time, do you know? Since the last time I was captured by Xu You in Qiantang, you have used him to bother me every day. If you like it so much, just marry him..."
The phoenix bird cannot move, and is most afraid of itchy. It is mixed with laughter and cries. It sounds quite pleasant. After a while, tears come out, and he is hoarse and begging for mercy: "I'm wrong, wrong... haha... don't, good sister, let me go..."
Yuan Mulan exclaimed and untied the ban on Luanniao. Luanniao tidied up her messy clothes expressionlessly, and said, "I have indeed neglected the management of the marquis of the outside world recently. I will leave Pingcheng tonight and go to Jinling to talk to Taiwei Xu..."
After saying that, he was about to leave, Yuan Mulan grabbed it and said, "What's there to talk about with him?"
"I have talked a lot, such as the mutual market in Luozhou, such as continuing to strengthen mutual trust between the two sides, such as killing He Yang, someone is not grateful at all, and even a little bit of blame for meddling in other people's business..."
"you!"
Yuan Mulan said embarrassedly: "Luanniao, do you have to force me to lock you up?"
Luanbird sighed, and was rarely serious, saying, "Mu Lan, if you have someone you like, I will naturally not push Xu You to you. There is no shortage of women. It is not an exaggeration to say that Zhang Xuanji is the number one beauty in Jiangdong. He is well-educated and well-known, and has a prominent family background. The problem now is that your identity will arouse the covetousness of many people. First there is Gao Yuan and then He Yang. Gao Yuan can still solve the crisis by himself at that time, but when He Yang comes, if it is not for Xu You, I am afraid that this will be in trouble. What will happen after that? If there are others asking for marriage, will you kill them one by one?"
Yuan Mulan whispered: "Didn't Xu You say that anyone who dares to marry me will have the same fate as He Yang..."
"Man dies for money, birds die for food, and there are so many people in the world who are not afraid of death. After marrying a princess, Xu You's intimidation can only work for a while. Especially in order to deal with Lingzhi, we put Xu You's monk in black pretended to be on his head. Since Lingzhi died, what else can others be afraid of?"
Yuan Mulan walked to the window, looked at the blooming peach blossoms in the yard, stretched out her hands gently, felt the spring breeze blowing, and said softly: "Take one step at a time. If I really get helpless, why should I die!"
Silly girl, I just know that you are not afraid of death, so I have to try my best to make you worry. I don’t know if Xu You is a good man, but looking at the world, only he can protect you from being fully prepared.
At this time, a servant came to report that something big happened in the palace. During the court discussion, the emperor suddenly issued an edict to respect Kang Jing as the national teacher and respect the Tao of the Heavenly Master as the national religion. He personally received talismans in court, calling himself the True Lord of Yuandu, and was going to use tens of millions of national treasury to order the second prince Yuan Dun to be responsible for building a new Tianshi Taoist temple for Kang Jing in the southeast of Pingcheng.
This was a sudden attack by Yuan Yu. There was no excuse in advance. Most of the court officials were confused. Seeing that the eight surnames did not come out to object, no one made a fuss.
After all, the Buddhist sect was really too much during this period. Not only did the Mahayana sect not clean, but even the monk Lord Lingzhi was trapped in. Even if someone asked others to help speak, they would have no confidence or position.
In addition, the emperor seemed to intend to destroy Buddhism nationwide. He was strongly opposed by the prince. He knelt on the ground and cried and dissuaded him with his forehead. He cried and did not implement it for the time being.
Luan Bird frowned and said, "Kang Jing is too anxious. After Lingzhi's death, the Buddha Sect is no longer in a state of chaos and no longer has any threats to him. Why do you have to kill him like this? It's just annoying?"
Yuan Mulan shook her head and said, "It's not Kang Jing who is anxious, but Cui Boyu."
"Cui Boyu?"
"Cui Boyu is a Han Chinese!"
The phoenix bird thoughtfully and said, "What the Lord is most eager for is to thoroughly promote the sinicization. Cui Boyu wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to cater to the superiors to restore the glory of the Han people. He destroyed the Buddha in order to continue to attack the Xianbei surnames that were closely related to the Buddhist sect, consolidate their power, and then re-determine the level of the aristocratic clan..."
Yuan Mulan said: "Cui Boyu is a real prime minister. Unfortunately, he is not a Xianbei person. He will definitely be excluded by the Xianbei surname. He only hopes that he will not be able to bear it when he is proud..."
"You only have military positions now, and you don't attend the court meeting. Why do you care about so many things? Let them make trouble. Okay, I should leave too. I didn't mean to tease you. I was indeed going to Jiangdong tonight. Someone secretly contacted Bai Er and wanted to cross the river to surrender to the Great Wei. Yu Zhong dared not make any decision. I'll go and take a look..."
Yuan Mulan said: "Well? There is still such a thing? Now the two countries have a good relationship. If there is no need, it is better not to cause trouble."
"Don't worry, I know the right way!" Luanniao smiled and said, "Do you have anything to say to Xu You that I can convey it on your behalf. After all, they have been traveling thousands of miles to break the deadlock for you, and it is appropriate to thank you."
Yuan Mulan was silent for a while. Perhaps the painstaking advice of Luan Bird just now moved her. She turned around and walked to the inner room, took a jade pendant and handed it to Luan Bird, and said, "This is what I got by chance when I was in the Six Towns. It can ward off evil spirits and eliminate evil spirits and ensure safety..."
