Concubine Shu has been in the palace for many years, and has raised three princes.
She came from the Shu clan in Ding'an, and her elder brother Shu Lingting was the general of Guide, who was based in Yuzhou. The power behind it cannot be underestimated. This is also the confidence that she has been fighting against the Queen for so many years, and she is not afraid at all.
In the early days, the third prince was still young, and Emperor Anqing was still young. Although there were discords between Concubine Shu and the Empress, the face was still decent, and the battle was not brought to the fore. After more than ten years, the third prince is also fifteen years old, and he has begun to look for candidates for the princess; while the Anqing Emperor is getting older and indulging in the way of longevity.
Seeing that the prince's position became more and more secure, Concubine Shu became anxious. When Emperor Anqing sent his troops to look for a madman, he placed such an "expert" in.
Her original arrangement was flawless. That expert had indeed had a small reputation among the people before. After entering the palace, he only devoted himself to concocting alchemy for Emperor Anqing, and never said anything about the right and wrong of the harem of the previous dynasty. If it hadn't been for the clues that Xiao Zhige's spies accidentally discovered, they would never have known that the "high man" was actually from Concubine Shu. ,
But even though he knew about it, Xiao Zhige didn't plan to break it right away. The spies tried to find a way to get the elixir of this master when he was concocting elixir, and found that the elixir did have a great tonic effect, and the medicinal materials were all precious things. Even the imperial doctors of the imperial hospital could not say anything bad. .
But Xiao Zhige always remembered that Hu Zifei replied to him after reading the pill recipe: It is not advisable to eat more of the supplements.
This tonic pill can really make people feel refreshed and energetic. But if you take it for a long time, your body will get used to this state, and if you don't use it for a day, it will be like a flash in the pan, even worse than before. And this medicine pill is effective for one day or two days, and it is also effective for one month and two months. But if you eat it every month and every year, the effect of this medicine will gradually fade away. If you want the original effect, you can only continue to strengthen the medicine, and this way of continuously strengthening the medicine will only lead to deficiency. The body is like a broken embankment and a river, leaking everywhere.
Either way, it's a bad outcome.
I heard that Emperor Anqing is very fond of this master now, and he stays in the palace to discuss Taoism and alchemy every day. It will not be too long before he comes to taste the bad fruit.
An Changqing pursed her lips, and did not think that in the next life, Emperor Anqing would die earlier.
The last Anqing Emperor lingered on the bed two years later, and then urgently summoned Xiao Zhige to return to Beijing. This life is so much earlier... An Changqing looked up at Xiao Zhige, wondering if this life would change again.
At that time, the crown prince was abolished and demoted to a commoner, and the third prince was assassinated by the refugees. In the end, Emperor Anqing had only one son, Xiao Zhige, who had to make him emperor before he died. But even so, there are many rumors among the people, saying that the prince was framed by the Northern War King to lose his virtue, and the third prince was also killed by the Northern War King's design... Even the death of Emperor Anqing was placed on his charge.
Killing his father, killing his brother... Every piece of it points to Xiao Zhige's uncleanness to the throne.
An Changqing looked at him with distress in his eyes. I don't know how Xiao Zhige did it in the last life, but in this life, An Changqing didn't want to see him again and bear unwarranted infamy. He narrowed his eyes and asked in a low voice, "If you go back to Yejing... What are you going to do with the prince? Do you want to fight with the crown prince and the third prince?"
Xiao Zhige glanced at him strangely, saw his worried eyes, and explained, "The eldest and the third can fight to their own death, what am I fighting with them?"
He turned his hands behind his back, and said proudly, "It's better for us to sit and reap the benefits when we compete with snipes and mussels?"
"But the prince and the third prince may not let us watch the fire from the other side." An Changqing said.
Xiao Zhige nodded and looked at him with a smile: "So in case the father is seriously ill, we have to find an excuse and try to return to Yejing as late as possible."
An Changqing understood what he meant, pursed his lips and smiled: "Has the prince thought up an excuse?"
"No." Xiao Zhige smiled, but he was not in a hurry, and made a joke for the first time: "If you can conceive a child for me, we will have a ready-made excuse not to return to Yejing."
An Changqing was stunned, and immediately became annoyed when he reacted. He kicked his calf with his foot, and said angrily, "Your Highness is getting more and more serious."
Especially after last night, the muddled words really came out of my mouth.
Xiao Zhige gave him a kick to let out his anger, and took advantage of the situation to pull the person closer to his arms and hugged him, wrapping his arms around his waist, but he did not entangle him with the topic just now, but instead asked the previous question again: "Well, let's go back. Didn't tell me if last night was over—"
Before he could finish speaking, An Changqing, who guessed what he was going to say, covered his mouth angrily.
"Have fun!" An Changqing glared at him angrily and said quickly.
Xiao Zhige didn't believe it, he felt that he was coaxing him because he was afraid that telling the truth would make him unhappy. After all, he looks very alive now, and he doesn't look like he can't get out of bed at all.
Although the princess was very caring, the Northern War King secretly decided to let him have a good time tonight.
An Changqing didn't know the thoughts lingering in his mind at all. He just thought that his answer finally satisfied him, so he pushed the person away and went to arrange other things in the house.
When I get busy, time flies fast, and it is night in a flash.
An Changqing had just finished taking a shower and returned to the house wearing light middle clothes, when he was pulled into the tent by the King of the Northern War who had been prepared. After an exclamation, only the sound of Suo was gradually heard.
That night, the curtains at the head of the bed were shaking, and the candlelight in the house was trembling. The relationship between the mandarin ducks and pillows is strong, until the fifth watch.
…
The next day, An Changqing failed to get up.
Xiao Zhige finally regained his self-confidence. Seeing him leaning against the bed with a wrinkled face, he felt a little distressed and regretful. He asked An Fu to bring the vegetable porridge over and fed him one bite at a time.
An Changqing stared at him and refused to open his mouth. He didn't know what he was crazy about last night, and he refused to let him go no matter what. He still suffers from back pain and leg pain.
"Don't like porridge? I'll ask the kitchen to cook you another cup of chicken soup?"
Being stared at by him like this, Xiao Zhige was inexplicably guilty and had to coax him more and more carefully.
"No need." An Changqing took the porridge bowl, endured the discomfort and took a slow sip before saying: "I feel uncomfortable all over, and the two of them are a little crowded in sleep, so I will go to the study tonight and sleep in the study."
Xiao Zhige: "..."
No matter how slow he was, he could see that An Changqing was angry at this moment. Xiao Zhige was full of doubts, looked at his face, and did not dare to ask. Just a dry "oh".
After drinking the porridge, An Changqing was really sleepy, so she put on a quilt and went back to sleep.
Xiao Zhige watched Baba on the side for a while, and when he fell asleep, he pulled the quilt down for him to breathe, and then ordered An Fu to guard outside and go out lightly - there are still many things waiting in the army. He handles it.
So when several generals met this day, they saw that the general's face was dark and scary.
Xie Ling has always been shrewd, and quickly found an excuse to slip away. Tie Hu saw Xie Ling slipped away, and quickly followed. Qi Wei took a step slower, was caught by Xiao Zhige, and took him to the ridge on the outskirts of the city.
It is now May, and the food crops planted earlier have grown a lot taller. Because the weather is getting hotter, many people in the fields are irrigating one by one with buckets carrying buckets.
Qi Wei shrank his neck, although he didn't know what Xiao Zhige did to arrest him here, but his intuition was not good. It was silent at this time, like a quail.
"The sowing is late in the winter this year, and the harvest will be in August. I am afraid that the harvest will be missed." Xiao Zhige said.
They knew about this after the war. Qi Wei didn't know why he talked about it again, so he looked at him suspiciously and waited for the next paragraph.
"Above the Sky"
Sure enough, Xiao Zhige said again: "The second half of this year is unlikely to be peaceful. We have to find a way to ask the people to store more food crops. Otherwise, I'm afraid it will be difficult in the future."
According to An Changqing, starting from Suzhou, there have been uprisings in various places. Ye Jing will inevitably send troops to suppress it. And according to the temperament of Emperor Anqing, he can basically guess what he will do. Now that the treasury is empty, if you want to suppress the revolting refugees, you have to send troops.
Where does the money come from? It can only be plundered from the people.
If the uprising can be pacified, that's all, but if it can't be pacified, then there will be no peace in the next one or two years. Yanzhou is his foundation and must be prepared early.
Speaking of this, Qi Wei was also worried: "Everything that can be planted has to find a way for the people to plant it."
But Yanzhou is located in the north, the climate is cold, the land is barren and water shortage, it is really difficult to grow something. The yield of an acre of land is much lower than that of the southern ones, and the people will be able to plant the land, but they will be able to fill their stomachs. In the event of a disaster or war, one must go hungry. In recent years, although they have the intention to change, but there is nowhere to do it.
"Let's think of a way." Xiao Zhige's voice was deep, he gave him a deep look, and turned his back: "After you go back, you and Xie Ling will convene experienced old farmers in the city to discuss, and you must come up with a solution."
Qi Wei grimaced.
***
May 17, the Queen Mother's birthday. Emperor Anqing pardoned the world and celebrated with the people.
Xiao Zhige hurried back to Yejing together with the congratulatory gift that he had prepared earlier. On the grounds that the war in Yanzhou had just ended, he accused him of not returning to Beijing.
Although I didn't see it with my own eyes, the news came back from the spies that the Queen Mother's birthday banquet was extremely extravagant.
The prosperous and extravagant and extravagant of Yejing can reach half of the great Yejiang Mountains.
The birthday party was supposed to be celebrated on the ninth day, but on the fifth day, it received an urgent report from Suzhou: A peasant revolted in Kangyong County on the border with Bingzhou, but in just half a month, nearly ten thousand displaced people were gathered and entrenched in the Sishui area. , to compete with officers and soldiers.
There are early signs of □□□ in Kangyong County.
At first, the county magistrate sent someone to collect the "Fu Lu tax". The people of Liangzhou were just hit by a snowstorm. Due to the poor rescue of the court, many houses collapsed and many people died of freezing. After finally getting through the winter, the surviving people planted the grain they were holding on to, and when they were looking forward to the harvest every day, there were officers and soldiers who came to collect taxes.
At this time, the people had no half of their food, and they all lived by digging into the mountains to dig wild grass roots. Now I have to pay taxes again, so naturally I can't pay it.
The officials who went to collect taxes had a bad temper. During the conflict, a peasant in one village was beaten to death. There was public anger here, and the villagers worked together to hang the officials who collected the collection from a tree at the entrance of the village.
These villagers were afraid of being caught, thinking that there was no way out anyway, so they simply gathered and rose up.
This kind of thing doesn't just happen in this village. The local county magistrate did not take it seriously, and sent more than a dozen officers and soldiers to suppress it, but did not expect the entire army to be wiped out. When he realized the seriousness and reported it, half of the villages in Kangyong County were involved in the sex.
The author has something to say: Cowardly: The bed is so big, it is not crowded at all.
Now: I say squeeze and squeeze!
Cowardly: ... oh (quietly deflated
