Pang Xiao and Qin Yining were also thinking about how to deal with it, but they linked Qiu Feishan's work habits with recent events and thought about it for a while, and the final conclusion was always the same.
"In this way, the chances of the sage arranging for you to go on an expedition are quite high. If you really have a decree, what should you do then?" Qin Yining pressed her lips against Pang Xiao. "The treasury is empty, and the inner treasures of the saints are probably also emptied for the repair of the emperor's tomb. If you are allowed to go to the battlefield and you are not given food and wages, what will the soldiers eat and drink?"
In fact, Pang Xiao was also worried in his heart, but the matter had come to this point, there was no need for him to show his worries in front of Qin Yining, and it made her worry too.
Holding her slender shoulders, Pang Xiao placed a kiss on her cheek, "Don't worry, I have my own measure."
Have a measure? How can he be measured again? It is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, and let the soldiers go to war on an empty stomach. These people are probably full of complaints, right
Qin Yining sighed softly and said in a low voice, "If it really doesn't work, there is a way. What we have hidden outside the Golden Port can also solve our urgent needs at a critical moment."
"It's not that I haven't thought about the method you mentioned. It's just that so much money appears out of thin air, and anyone will be suspicious."
Seeing Qin Yining looking at him seriously, Pang Xiao was also worried that she would misunderstand that he was reluctant to use the treasure, and explained with a smile: "I am not reluctant to use the money, the money is taken from the people, and naturally it should be used for the people. Just considering our own safety, we want to use a surefire way."
"I understand." Qin Yining laughed, thinking what Pang Xiao was trying to say, "Don't I know what you are? I was just about to say that, saving people is necessary, but at least save yourself, let's more can be done.”
Pang Xiao couldn't help but chuckle: "You're right, I won't act rashly, don't worry."
The two looked at each other and smiled. Although the court situation was chaotic and the battle was tight, it seemed that as long as the two of them could get together, they would find peace.
In the next few days, Qin Yining has been taking care of Pang Xiao's body. Perhaps with Qin Yining by his side, Pang Xiao's mood has always been very good, and his injury has improved a lot compared with the previous two days, so that everyone around him can Breathe a sigh of relief.
Since Pang Xiao was beaten by the temple, he closed his door to recuperate, and no longer participated in the court meeting. But the most heated debate in successive court meetings was the question of the Tartars. Pang Xiao got some news from his contacts and knew that Li Qitian was having a heated discussion with his courtiers about whether to activate him.
Pang Xiao didn't care, and waited for the news without panic. But many ministers were impatient.
For several days in a row, the palace, which was originally very busy, was suddenly full of visitors, and even the steward of the palace and the wife of the tea room were busy, and they were busy entertaining and escorting guests every day.
After another adult was sent away, Pang Xiao sighed tiredly.
Qin Yining turned out of the inner room and said with a smile: "How about it, are you tired these days?"
Pang Xiao took advantage of the situation and leaned on Qin Yining who was in front of him, nodding as if he had been wronged, "Isn't it, it's too tiring to talk to these people, they only care about a few things, I want to say something. Turn it upside down and break it apart and smash it up and tell them."
Qin Yining couldn't help laughing at his teasing, "So many people who visit you either want to persuade you to go to war for the country's sake, or they think you might revolt, and they come to curry favor with you, and they are more meaningful to soothe your emotions. Yes. I don't think these people care about your feelings at all. It's going to be a war. You need to take action. They only come here. It's like everyone else is a fool."
"In their position to seek their own government, they probably think of me because they really can't think of a reliable way." Pang Xiao shook his head indifferently, "I just feel that the situation in the court in Da Zhou is very sad now, all the People are all doing their own petty profits, but they don't see how much care and love they have for the people of Dazhou. You said that such a court, such some officials, they can really lead the people to live well day?"
Qin Yining patted his hand soothingly, "When the water is clear, there will be no fish. Isn't that how adults in the dynasty get along? For their own petty gains, they can give up and sacrifice more important things in the Zhou Dynasty. They In the eyes of you, I am afraid that only you, only the snowflakes and silver of Baihuahua are the benefits, the kind of people who deliberately make such a gesture in front of you have ulterior motives. They are also most of the court today. "
"I understand the reason, but I still feel helpless after thinking about it." Pang Xiao stopped Qin Yining's shoulder and sighed faintly.
Just as the two were talking in a low voice, Ji Yun's slightly anxious voice suddenly came from outside: "Wang Ye, Wang Fei, Director Xiong next to the saint is here, and we are arranging to drink tea at the front."
Qin Yining and Pang Xiao looked at each other, their hearts throbbing.
They knew that Li Qitian was finally unable to hold his breath.
Pang Xiao thought for a while, turned over to lie on the soft couch, and said to the outside: "Go and tell Director Xiong, just say that this king is inconvenient to move at this time. If you don't dislike it, please ask Director Xiong to come to the inner house for a talk."
"Yes." Ji Yun quickly went to the front hall and repeated Pang Xiao's words to him.
Xiong Jinshui has always been slick, and he didn't get angry when he heard this. He made up his mind to have both sides, and it was not a secret that Pang Xiao was hit by a board. If Pang Xiao's anger is not smooth, even if he kicks himself, he can't save the slightest anger to avoid losing his life in the future.
As soon as Jiyun said it, Xiong Jinshui immediately smiled and said, "It's because our family has not thought about it carefully, and we should have gone to the place where the prince rested to harass."
Ji Yun knew that this person was a good person, and that he had passed the test, so he smiled and led the way, led Xiong Jinshui to the inner house, and saw Pang Xiao, who was lying on the couch with a pale face.
Xiong Jinshui did not dare to neglect, and saluted: "I have seen the prince."
"It turned out to be Eunuch Xiong, please excuse me." Pang Xiao waved his hand, motioning Xiong Jinshui to get up, and said with a smile, "This king has not recovered from his injuries, so it is really rude to not be able to greet Eunuch Xiong in person."
Xiong Jinshui hurriedly said that he did not dare, and said respectfully: "My lord, our family has come to disturb me this time, in order to convey the meaning of the Holy One."
Saying that, he bowed his hands in the direction of the palace to show respect and respect: "Tomorrow is the day of the great court meeting. The sage ordered the servants to inform the prince, please attend the court meeting on time tomorrow."
Qin Yining frowned in displeasure, and deliberately made a domineering look: "Of course the Holy Master's orders must be obeyed, but the lord's injury... Boss Xiong, don't take it to heart, the concubine is only worried about the lord, these days, the lord has always been The high fever doesn't go away, and I haven't gotten any better today. If I go to a big court meeting, if I move and toss and the injury gets worse, what can I do?"
Speaking of this, the domineering dissatisfaction turned into a full of grievances, Qin Yining should have quickly shed two lines of tears: "Our family sacrificed their lives for the Great Zhou Dynasty, even my poor son... The lord is so seriously injured that he will not let good students be raised, but he is going to attend the court meeting. If Director Xiong can negotiate with the sage, please spare my lord."
Xiong Jinshui heard cold sweat dripping down his forehead, and almost wanted to call Qin Yining an aunt.
"You should spare the slaves and servants. You think too highly of the servants. What is the status of the servants, and who is qualified to negotiate with the sage. It's just the sage's orders, and the servants do it." Xiong Jinshui said and couldn't help but knelt down. "I beg the lord to be gracious, for the sake of our common mission to be holy, don't let the slaves and servants not be able to pay!"
Pang Xiao hurriedly helped him with one hand: "Director Xiong's situation is also difficult. Besides, since the imperial decree has been issued, I will obey the decree."
When Xiong Jinshui saw that Pang Xiao was willing to speak for him, Qin Yining didn't seem to be able to refute, so he could not help but breathed a sigh of relief, and gave Pang Xiao a grateful salute.
"Thank you lord for your understanding, thank you lord for your understanding!"
"Where is it?" Pang Xiao smiled and said, "You are the one who serves by the Sage's side. You have always served with all your heart. To tell the truth, if the Sage is not around you, how can the Sage be able to do everything smoothly and cheaply? You? I am also a minister of the Holy High, and naturally mutual understanding is the highest."
Xiong Jinshui couldn't see how true or false what Pang Xiao said to him, but he knew that his hurdle was over.
After chatting with Pang Xiao again, Xiong Jinshui bowed and said goodbye.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he went out, Qin Yining gave him another small purse, and inside it was a slap-sized Pixiu inlaid with emeralds and emeralds.
Just looking at the carving of this Pixiu and the emerald water head, Xiong Jinshui's heart skipped a beat, pressing the corner of his mouth with joy, he couldn't help but smile, "Thank you, Princess."
"Nothing, I'm a woman, and sometimes my brain doesn't work well, and I don't think about what I say. I just said that in a hurry. Please don't take it to heart." Qin Yining said with a smile.
Xiong Jinshui didn't want to worry too much in his heart, but if it was said that Princess Zhongshun also had a bad mind, he would definitely not believe it. It can only be said that at this juncture, the princess can still act towards the prince, and she will never give up. This kind of feeling is even envied by his inner supervisor.
"Wherever it is, it is understandable that the wangfei and the wangye have a deep relationship, worry about the wangye's urgency, and think about what the wangye thinks. The slaves admire the wangye and the wangfei very much, and they will not spread it randomly."
Qin Yining secretly said that if the people around Li Qitian were not transparent, they might not be alive now, so he smiled and politely sent Xiong Jinshui away.
Back in the bedroom, he saw Pang Xiao's brows furrowed, as if he was thinking about something important.
Qin Yining knew that he was also in a dilemma at this time, so she did not persuade him much, she believed that Pang Xiao would always make the most appropriate choice.
The next day at the great court meeting, while everyone was still discussing, Pang Xiao came to Fengtianmen in a small sedan chair carried by two people.
