Wei Yuan went out and said loudly: "When there is no war, military households can be self-sufficient in farming military fields. Once the war starts, the court needs to allocate grain, grass, and military supplies. This is even reasonable."
Wang Shoufu squinted his eyes and looked at Wei Yuan deeply.
When Chu Xianglong heard the words, he smiled. In terms of warfare, this group of scholars who can only talk about a hundred words are not as good as Wei Yuan.
To ask for food, grass and military pay, he was half of the task of returning to Beijing on this trip.
Yuan Xiong sighed in relief, but Wei Yuan unexpectedly supported his plan. In this way, he would be able to avoid the storm of imperial examination fraud and stay out of the matter.
On second thought, this matter was in line with your Majesty's heart, with honors inside to help out, and barbarians outside "pressing" it. This is a general trend. Even the lords who opposed this matter understood the situation.
Unexpectedly, Wei Yuan turned around and said: "However, before that, the Weichen has something to start playing your majesty."
The crowd watched over.
Wei Yuan's expression remained the same, and he ignored the gazes of the public.
Emperor Yuan Jing said: "Say."
"The gong under my hand found a death fight with a group of gangsters on the outskirts of the capital, and he stepped forward to stop it. Who knows that instead of stopping, the besieger beheaded and fled."
Wei Yuan said so loudly, as if the truth of the matter was what he said: "Before the deceased died, he shouted, "The north has changed."
Hearing what Wei Yuan said, the expressions of all the princes present, including Emperor Yuan Jing, changed.
Chu Xianglong turned his head fiercely, stared at Wei Yuan, and then withdrew his gaze again, not daring to offend, and said with his neck:
"Naturally there are changes in the north, and the barbarians are plundering everywhere, provoking the end of the war..."
Wei Yuan's face was calm, "So, the barbarians were slaughtered for three thousand miles in the north, and General Chu stopped by burning, killing and plundering?"
This sentence shocked everyone present. Emperor Yuan Jing got up from the big chair and stared straight at the Qing Yi under the hall:
"Wei Yuan, please make it clear, what is the blood slaughter for three thousand miles...ah?!"
Chu Xianglong said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, there is absolutely nothing..."
"Shut up!"
Emperor Yuan Jing raised his hand to interrupt, gave him a cold look, then turned to Wei Yuan: "What proof do you have."
Wei Yuan stretched out his hand into his arms, took out the sachet, and untied the red string. A blue smoke curled up in the air and turned into a blurry, dull-eyed man, muttering:
"The blood slaughtered three thousand li, the blood slaughtered three thousand li, please the court to send troops to crusade..."
Wei Yuan continued: "The corpse of this person has been brought by the minister. It is outside the palace gate. Your Majesty can send someone to do an autopsy. This person is from the North!"
There is silence in the Imperial Study Room.
Emperor Yuan Jing got up slowly, his face was gloomy and watery, and he said, "A post-mortem!"
The old **** lowered his head, and hurriedly went back to pass the order, as if he was running away, not dare to escape.
Emperor Yuan Jing sits high in the dragon chair, his expression is gloomy, and he doesn't say a word. The princes below silently exchanged their eyes, and Chu Xianglong also had a pale expression, staring at Wei Yuan with the remaining light.
After waiting for a quarter of an hour, the old **** returned and whispered in the ear of Emperor Yuan Jing.
Emperor Yuan Jing was silent for a long time, and slowly said: "With the Sitianjian warlock entering the palace for questioning, I am exhausted, all Aiqing should go to the side hall to rest for a while."
He stared at Chu Xianglong, and said in a deep voice: "You stay here."
After that, get up first and leave the Imperial Study Room.
Under the leadership of the eunuch, the princes went to the side hall to rest.
.............
In the side hall.
Hube Shangshu held the tea, took a sip, looked sideways at Wei Yuan, who was expressionless, and tentatively asked: "Wei Gong, is this true?"
The officials immediately looked at Wei Yuan. The latter had a serious face, and returned to Hubu Shangshu with a cold look: "Master Zhao thinks this is a joke?"
"Dare not dare."
Hube Shangshu sighed: "If this matter is taken seriously, how many people will die in the North? Why didn't you receive the news?"
Wei Yuan did not respond to Hubu Shangshu's temptation.
Wang Shoufu squinted and tapped his fingers on the table, not knowing what he was thinking.
Two sticks of incense time passed, the old **** entered the side hall and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, please return to the Imperial Study Room."
Next, the white warlock summoned from Sitianjian questioned Chu Xianglong. The answer was expected, and what Chu Xianglong said was true.
The king of Zhenbei defeated the barbarians in the north, but the guerrilla tactics of the northern barbarians did cause great trouble to the king of Zhenbei and exhausted the northern frontier army.
The barbarian army is blocked from the border, and the blood slaughter will naturally cease to exist.
In the imperial study room, the atmosphere suddenly relaxed, and everyone sighed.
"Huh!"
Chu Xianglong snorted coldly: "I don't know where Wei Gong got the news, and it almost caused your majesty and the princes to misunderstand the prince. The last will think, the prince did not offend Wei Gong."
Wei Yuan ignored it, stepped out, and said loudly: "This matter is very important. What this person said may be true, but it does not mean that the situation in the north is really like this."
Chu Xianglong raised his brows and was about to refute, but he saw Wang Shoufu's line up to echo:
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Wei Gong's remarks are reasonable. It is a matter of great importance and cannot be neglected. It must be thoroughly investigated."
Under the leadership of Wang Shoufu and Wei Yuan, the princes responded one after another.
Emperor Yuan Jing said in deep thought: "Do you think Aiqing, how to investigate this matter?"
Wang Shoufu said: "Your Majesty can continue to collect grain, grass and military salaries, and transport them to Chuzhou. At the same time, send a team of imperial missions to the northern border to thoroughly investigate the case."
Wei Yuandao: "The minister seconded."
Emperor Yuan Jing nodded: "Just do it."
...........
Xu Mansion.
Susu sat on the eaves holding a red umbrella to block the sun, looking at the little peas in the yard.
In the next room, Li Miao really talked to the mistress and young lady of the Xu family.
The aunt and Xu Lingyue were not beautiful when they heard that there were guests staying at home again.
The former thinks that if this continues, the family will become a shantang. The latter felt that this woman was too beautiful and threatened him.
Except for the woman in the Taoist robe, the woman in the white robe outside, makes Xu Lingyue stab at her back. She feels that she has no chance of winning but she is even slightly inferior only by her appearance.
The woman holding the red umbrella has an unspeakable charm, especially attractive.
However, after hearing that Li Miao was really Xu Qi'an's savior, Aunt Xu and Xu Lingyue immediately changed their attitudes, giving them more heartfelt gratitude and welcome.
"The Xu family deserves to be a family of warriors. I think that young lady is still young, and she will start to learn martial arts." Li Miaozhen is still very understanding of human relationships and sophistication, and she doesn't forget to praise her when she chats.
My aunt was very sad when she heard that, and said helplessly: "I hope she can study for a few years, not to mention that she is proficient in all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, at least she must be knowledgeable, but she is a fool."
Although the kid is pretty stupid, how can he be a fool? Xu Qi'an's cousin is a student from Yunlu Academy, so he doesn't teach his sister to study? Li Miaozhen thought for a while and said:
"Miaozhen borrows to stay in Xu Mansion, in his spare time, can help enlighten the young lady."
Her thought is that Xu Xinnian has a heavy school work and has no intention of teaching young girls to read. Xu Qi'an and Xu Pingzhi are martial artists, and they prefer to let Miss Xu Jia learn martial arts.
Anyway, it means teaching children for a period of time without delay.
My aunt was taken aback and was about to refuse. Who knows Xu Lingyue was the first to agree, with a subtle smile: "So thank you, Daochang Li."
Li Miaozhen had a great affection for this beautiful girl with a gentle smile, and smiled and said, "It's a little effort."
After finishing speaking, she found that the mistress Xu looked at her with a little more pity and sympathy.
.........
"Sister, sister, are you really a ghost."
Xu Lingyin was struggling with her horse, her stubby legs trembling slightly, she raised her head and looked at Susu on the eaves.
"Yes, I can eat people, aren't you afraid?" Su Su threatened.
"Scared!" Xu Lingyin showed a scared expression.
Su Su smiled, somewhat proud, humming a little song in her mouth, looking at the blue sky in a daze.
I don't know how long it took, the two girls, one big and one small, in the yard disappeared.
"Sister, sister......"
The shout came from below. Susu looked down. The little girl stood under the eaves, raised her head, staring at her with black and white eyes.
"Can you come down?" the little girl said.
Su Su fell into the hospital lightly, looking down at the twirling of Xu Lingyue's head, and said, "What are you doing."
Xu Lingyin didn't speak, but beckoned sneakily, motioning her to follow.
Susu followed up with doubts, and brought them all the way to the room. Smoke and fire rushed into his face, Xiao Douding tried hard to cross the threshold and said back:
"Sister, come here."
In the room, the little black skin in southern Xinjiang was burning the fire, and the oil was boiling in the pot. Xu Lingyin pulled Susu to the side of the pot, raised her face, and said expectantly:
"Sister, can you climb in by yourself."
Susu's face suddenly froze.
............
Xu Qi'an was going back home, and introduced Li Miaozhen to Xu Ershu. Xu Ershu thought he was a friend of his nephew, and nodded holding the elder's frame.
Said calmly: "Where does Daochang Li practice?"
"She is the Saintess of Heavenly Sect, one of the protagonists in the dispute between heaven and man." Xu Qi'an added.
"........"
Xu Pingzhi almost got up and saluted, shouting: I have seen the Lord Saint.
"She and I met when I was in Yunzhou..." Xu Qi'an briefly explained.
Xu Pingzhi nodded blankly, his heart was very uneasy, and his thoughts fluctuated.
Dalang even knows the Saintess of Heavenly Sect. His contacts are getting wider and stronger, and his strength is getting higher and higher, and I just broke into the realm of God Refining... what.
Xu Ershu thought with satisfaction, and felt that the gap between himself and his nephew was getting bigger and bigger, and a sense of loss was in his heart.
Look at his son again. After taking part in the palace exam, this kid was a serious imperial commander. Although his progress was not as exaggerated as Ning Yan, he was already a step beyond the sky.
I can be considered worthy of the ancestors...Unfortunately, my eldest brother died early, so I can't see his son and nephew so promising...
At this time, Xu Xinnian said solemnly: "Big Brother, Miss Wang Jia has invited me to visit the lake again."
Does Miss Wang like my Erlang? Xu Qi'an moved in his heart, becoming more sure of his guess.
In the case of imperial examination fraud, Miss Wang gave him a "briefing" that the content was true, which was very unusual.
At this time, after contacting two invitations to visit the lake, it can almost be concluded that Miss Wang's is interested in Jiro, and the offensive is very strong.
Thinking of this, Xu Qi'an smiled and said: "Then do you agree."
Xu Xinnian said with a "hee": "I refused on the grounds that the palace examination was imminent."
"Good job, Erlang..." Xu Qi'an patted him on the shoulder and praised: "My role model."
Dalang's yin and yang ridiculed Jiro.
My role model? Improper use of words, heh, the uneducated eldest brother... Erlang also mocked Dalang in his heart.
...........
At the end of the dinner, Xu Qi'an came to Li Miaozhen’s room and was about to knock on the door when he heard the voice of Susu from inside:
"Master, the children in this family are very scary, she, she wants to eat me, and she has a pot of oil."
"Children speak without restraint, and so do things, don't care." Li Miaozhen casually perfunctory.
"No, I can feel that she is not joking, the burning eyes..." Su Su said a few words, seeing Li Miaozhen lacking in interest, grunted angrily, exclaimed Road:
"Smelly man, your sister wants to eat me."
The voice fell, and the door opened automatically. Su Su pinched his waist, bulged his cheeks, and stared at him madly~IndoMTL.com~ Ah, this...I remember, My aunt told her that ghost bombs are delicious. Not only did this stupid kid take it seriously, he remembered it for so long?
So, this memory is more than enough to recite English words, why can't I even recite the Three-Character Sutra?
Xu Qi'an murmured in his heart and turned the topic off: "Susu, I remember you said that if I promise you two requests, you will be a concubine for me for three years."
Li Miaozhen heard this and stared at Su Su fiercely.
Speaking of the feminine charm, the charming ghost who is more feminine and seductive than the owner pinched his waist and said: "Yes! You help me reshape my body, and then find out why my father was beheaded.
"Not only did I serve you as a concubine for three years, I also gave you a son."
Actually, it doesn't matter whether she is a concubine or not. Xu Qi'an initially promised her because she felt a little sorry to bully a female ghost.
Now that Li Miaozhen has come to the capital, he will not forget the original agreement.
Of course, if Su Sufei wants to repay, it's okay to be a concubine.
We must let Song Qing shape a 36D body. I don’t care about it myself, but no matter how hard it is, I can’t suffer the child.........he silently hid and looked at Li Miaozhen:
"First talk about everything you know."
The master and servant became serious, and Li Miaozhen said: "Susu was born in Jiangzhou, and his father was the prefect of Jiangzhou. Yuanjing was accused of beheading in 15 years, and the female family members of the family would be charged to the Jiaofang Division.
"His mother had a strong personality and did not want to be a prostitute. A cup of poisoned alcohol poisoned all the female relatives, including Su Su. But she had a young brother studying abroad at the time, and she managed to escape.
"This trip to Beijing, I took Su Su to Jiangzhou on a detour, wanting to check the past. I didn't expect to find a strange thing."
