Doubts about the emperor. Cui Qian explained with a smile: "The local forces in Nanchen have been rebelling continuously. After all, it is because the court is too tolerant. In the past two years, the Central Government has been too tolerant to Nanchen Yudang, and instead gave them a chance..."

Nan Chen Guozuo lasted for more than two hundred years. The loyal minister and virtuous general did not know where to go. Moreover, among the Nan Chen emperors, there were many talented poems and books. They had a harmonious relationship with courtiers, and there were very few faint masters. Even the last emperor of Nan Chen who was the last to subdue the country was once a well-known gifted man. His calligraphy is the best in Jiangnan. It can be said that the death of Nanchen is due to the number of days. No wonder the people and families miss it.

Cui Qian continued: "Since Nanchen proclaimed himself the emperor, Nanchen has repeatedly contacted local tycoons and arranged for spies to lurch everywhere. This man has a vicious and vicious spirit, and his conspiracy and tricks are endless, making people unpredictable. Now, although his power is shrinking, he is in Wuli Kingdom Be the king. Wuli Kingdom is already good at witchcraft..."

His voice is clear and moving, and it is extremely comfortable to hear.

When talking freely, the tone is respectful, affectionate and natural, which makes people have to be convinced.

Qin Nuo nodded, and then asked about Nanchen's current situation. Cui Qian answered one by one.

The two were talking warmly. Qin Nuo noticed that Cui Qian's eyes fell on the table several times.

He picked up the small colored glaze flowerpot on the table and smiled: "Cui Qing is interested in this?"

It was a palm-sized bonsai. The whole body was made of colored glaze. The bright yellow pots were dotted with sea-blue colored glaze pieces, filled with white sand, and the light brown branches were covered with green leaves, dotted in the middle. With a few red fruits. The whole bonsai looks very delicate and cute, making people love it.

"I just think that such clear colored glaze is rare." Cui Qian smiled.

Qin Nuo smiled: "This is something that was just delivered from the colored glaze workshop of the Gewu Division. It is invisible outside."

This bonsai uses a new colored glaze that was recently researched by Ge Wusi. The original colored glaze technology of Great Zhou is already pretty good. At the beginning, Qin Nuo also customized a lot of colored glaze beakers in Nanyingfang, just in the gloss color. It's not so good. Qin Nuo remembers that the gloss and transparency are related to the temperature of the boiler, while the color is the addition of mineral elements. Under his suggestion, Ge Wusi experimented for a period of time and finally made this new bright and moist colored glaze.

Because the Changlong Guan exchange market has already started, upholding Qin Nuo's plan to corrupt Beishuo with luxury, Liuli Workshop quickly made some small ornaments with this new type of colored glaze, ready to become the next flagship brand of goods. The one on the table now is one of them.

"Since Cui Qing is interested, I will reward you with this little thing."

"Thank you, the emperor for the reward." Cui Qian was not polite, he had long been accustomed to the reward from the emperor.

The moment Qin Nuo took over, Qin Nuo's eyes fell on Cui Qian's hand, wearing a gorgeous purple-gold unicorn finger on his slender and white fingers, and the red jewel Ye Ye was shining.

"I have long heard that Cui Qing is good at shooting, and I will definitely see it if I have a chance in the future."

"The emperor has been praised." Cui Qian smiled.

Holding the colored glaze bonsai in his hand, he took a closer look and said with a smile: "This bonsai looks like the one I saw at the birthday banquet of Mrs. Guangling Hou last night. It seems to be this kind of colored glaze."

Qin Nuo was surprised. This kind of thing was newly produced by Ge Wusi and had never been used externally. He was waiting to send it to Beishuo Changlong Guan to make a fortune in the trade market. How could it appear at the birthday banquet of the capital's rich and powerful.

Is it because someone inside the Gewu Division leaked it? It's not a big deal to just steal some colored glaze slices to make some extra money, but there are too many secrets in the Division of Gewu. If you can steal property today, it is difficult to guarantee that you will not steal secrets in exchange for silver tomorrow.

It's just that there is no need to let Cui Qian know about this. He calmly changed the subject with a smile.

The two said a few more words, Qin Nuo smiled and said: "It's not too early, presumably the Queen Mother is still waiting there."

Cui Qian bowed and retired.

Qin Nuo smiled as he watched his back disappear at the threshold.

He certainly will not forget where Qin Cong's young girl went after being taken away from the Huo Family by the man in black.

That little princess should be raised in Cui Qian's home now.

Pingxi Camp is regarded as the Queen Mother’s best friend. Not only Cui Qian, but also several senior officers in the battalion have received the grace of the Queen Mother. Qin Nuo used to put Pingxi Camp into the Huo Family camp, but now it can’t be categorized as simple as that.

When Cui Qian returns to the capital, how will Queen Mother Huo make arrangements?

In a blink of an eye, I have been on the throne for more than half a year. Looking back at these times, everything is going smoothly in North Korea and Central China. The Changlong Guan exchange has started, and He Ci has done well. There are also many good news in the Gewu Division. The peace talks with Beishuo also went smoothly. The running-in with courtiers is also very effective.

The only thing that didn't go well was Nanchen. I didn't expect Nanchen to do it so quickly and with such insidious methods. But this is a foreign enemy, uncontrollable, originally unimaginable, can only recognize it. The two are Queen Mother Huo. Thinking of this, Qin Nuo feels bored. There is a filial piety on the top of Queen Mother Huo's head. In addition, she has a lot of power, but behind her there is a Huo family who stands alone. , If he is really right, this kind of tricky day is too passive, he has to think of a way.

But first, we have to deal with the leakage of Liuli.

"Stop driving, go to Gewu Division!"

Qin Nuo went to the Department of Gewu to investigate. Cui Qian also went to Cining Palace.

Queen Mother Huo looked at the people walking into the hall with a bright smile on her lips.

If Qin Nuo were here, you would find that Queen Mother Huo did not wear those old-fashioned autumn colors and silver gray today. Instead, she chose a navy blue long skirt with gold and silver lines on the corners to outline the gardenia pattern. Without losing elegance. Two gold hairpins with eight treasures were inserted obliquely on the jet-black hair bun, and the jewels of the orchid shimmered with a moving luster, which made the original dignified and beautiful face more beautiful.

Although she is over forty years old, she is well maintained, and now it seems that she is only in her early thirties.

Cui Qian smiled and bowed down. Queen Mother Huo immediately gave a low laugh.

"What are you doing here with these fake gifts?"

Cui Qian was not polite, got up and said with a smile, "I'm still sorry for my aunt."

"It has been gone for several years, come here and let me have a look." In front of him, the queen mother did not even call herself mourning.

Cui Qian smiled and leaned close to her and sat in the next seat.

Queen Mother Huo got up and came to him, raised her hand and stroked his cheek, her handsome eyebrows were like moist and beautiful jade.

She looked carefully, full of nostalgia.

The maids in Cining Palace are all watching their noses and minds, and they are unaware of everything.

"The land of the barbarians is really bitter, you are all thin."

"What is the empress said, Nanchen occupies the Jiangnan water town, so rich, so thin." Cui Qian laughed in a low voice, avoiding her touch.

"Furthermore, no matter how hard you are, you can avenge your father, even if it is a place where the miasma is cold, you have to make a foray, how can you stand still."

Cui Qian's father, Cui Jing, had been ordered to serve as an envoy to Nanchen, but he encountered civil strife in Nanchen and was killed by the forces of the chaos. After that, although the Nanchen court rescued in time and rescued everyone from the other envoys, Cui Jing was already exhausted. Afterwards, Nan Chen successively sent envoys to apologize.

Emperor Jingyao hated him deeply. However, not long after he took the throne, the country was unstable, and it was not easy to send troops and conscripts for the time being, and Nanchen had eliminated the chaotic party. After that, he apologized and he was very respectful, and he also offered a huge amount of gold and silver compensation. .

In the end, Emperor Jingyao temporarily suppressed his anger and the two countries reconciled.

The princess of Xining was not so lucky. When the bad news came, she was pregnant with Liujia. In the end, she was pregnant with a dead body and two lives, and her soul returned to heaven. Only Cui Qian, the eldest son, was entrusted to the care of Emperor Jingyao.

A few years later, the Great Zhou conquered Nanchen, and Emperor Jingyao treated Nanchen clan and honors harshly and cruelly. There were also reasons to hate this incident.

"Have you seen the emperor just now?" Queen Mother Huo smiled.

"I have seen it. It is smarter than before. I couldn't see it in the palace before." Cui Qian smiled.

"It's a little clever, I've got my eyes off before." The Queen Mother Huo snorted coldly, "It's ridiculous that a gangster can also steal the position."

Cui Qian's eyes lowered: "It is Huo Shangshu who are too careless."

***

Coming out of the Queen Mother Palace, Cui Qian headed east, suddenly pausing.

Huo Youjuan was walking down the corridor, feeling something. She raised her head and immediately saw the unexpected familiar face.

Although haven't seen it for several years, still recognize it at a glance.

Cui Qian was standing under a peach blossom tree, with a long body of jade, red clothes and ink hair, like the person in the painting, even the scorching peach blossoms around him were eclipsed.

"Sister Youjuan." Cui Qian greeted with a comfortable smile in his eyes.

The female officials around Huo Youjuan all had red cheeks, lowered their heads, but couldn't help but look up at the person secretly.

Huo Youjuan looked plain, and said, "General Cui."

"I haven't seen it in a few years, is it so unfamiliar? Somehow, let's call Brother Qian." Cui Qian smiled teasingly, his eyelashes fluttered, and his eyes flowed like a god.

He grew up under the knees of Queen Mother Huo since childhood. When he was a child, Huo Youjuan often went to the palace to accompany him, and they knew each other very well.

Huo Youjuan smiled: "General Cui is polite. Now that he has grown up, he is naturally no better than before."

"Yeah, I have been traveling south for several years. Things are different. I hate that I am trapped in the battlefield and entangled in mundane affairs. I can't even see the last side of the emperor." When Qin Cong was mentioned, Cui Qian's eyes appeared lost.

"When you are out of war, you are always involuntary. National affairs are important. Presumably, the first emperor will not be offended." Huo Youjuan simply comforted.

"And you, I never expected that soon after I left, you would encounter such a predicament. I knew it, I..."

"General Cui." Huo Youjuan suddenly interrupted him, with a calm expression, "Youjuan is all well and has not encountered any difficulties. The general is on the battlefield, maybe he heard something wrong in the palace news."

Cui Qian was slightly startled.

Huo Youjuan continued, "I still have my duties, so I will leave first."

After that, he leaned slightly, then turned and left. Several female officials looked at Cui Qian reluctantly and followed her footsteps.

Cui Qian looked at her from behind, with a gloomy expression in his eyes.

He unconsciously shook the purple-gold unicorn on his hand and pulled his fingers until the slender figure disappeared at the end of the corridor. He finally retracted his gaze and turned away.

***

Huo Youjuan breathed a sigh of relief after finally getting rid of the person's sight.

Entering the Beginning-of-Creation Palace, but seeing Qin Nuo sitting behind the table, slowly traced something on the table with his hand, his expression was a little dazed, Huo Youjuan came in without raising his head.

Huo Youjuan came to the table and saw clearly what he had under his hand. It turned out to be a piece of green glaze, shiny and bright, just like the top jasper.

"I heard that the emperor just went to Gewusi, why did he come back so soon? Is this something newly produced by Gewusi?" Huo Youjuan asked with a smile.

Ge Wusi came in and made a new breakthrough in the production of colored glaze. She also knew about it, but she hadn't seen the real product.

Qin Nuo woke up, handed her the glazed piece, and sighed.

I don't even know how to talk about it.

"Just now Cui Qian entered the palace and mentioned the birthday of Mrs. Guangling Hou, and saw this new type of glazed piece..."

Suddenly hearing Cui Qian's name come out of the emperor's mouth, Huo Youjuan instinctively trembled. She quickly converged and focused on the emperor's words.

Qin Nuo thought it was a small official of the Gewu Division who was greedy for money and stole the pieces and sold them. So after Cui Qian left, he happened to go to the Gewu Department to check the progress of the explosives test, so he took the opportunity to investigate.

The result of the investigation is that no colored glaze was lost. Since the Division of Gewu is involved in military aircraft secrets, its internal secrecy system is extremely strict. For example, the newly produced glass products have strict preservation procedures and will never be leaked.

"How did Guanglinghou get here? Could it be that the workshop outside got good stuff." Huo Youjuan asked immediately.

Outside workshops, it is difficult to achieve this purity.

In order to make colored glaze, Gewu Division made large-scale improvements and upgrades to the stove, and ordinary workshops absolutely cannot reach this temperature. Moreover, Qin Nuo had long heard about Cui Qian, his vision was very vicious, and his tastes of gems and famous wines were all well-known among the noble circles. He said the same, there is absolutely no difference.

"I have sent someone from the Department of Gewu to investigate." Qin Nuo smiled, with a hint of worry in his heart.

In the afternoon, the person in charge of the investigation of the Gewu Division reported the news that the glazed piece at the birthday banquet of Mrs. Guangling Hou was indeed produced in the Gewu Division.

This conclusion made Qin Nuo frown. If there is no loss in Gewusi, there is only one way out. And this kind of glazed piece has only been used once since its introduction.

It is in the tombs of Emperor Jingyao and Qin Cong!
