The Cold Mountain Fighting Method lasted for a long time, and finally Xuanmen broke the Great Array at the cost of the fall of ten human immortals. Situ Yun's army walked down the lì to camp under the cold mountain, and Wei Qian returned to Daming Palace with pox hope.

took green beans for the prince's diagnosis and treatment, and it took three days for the prince to wake up slowly.

In a haze, I saw a woman writing with a pen next to the table.

The prince regained consciousness and reluctantly sat up.

Wei Qian looked at it and put down the pen: "The prince is awake?" ”

Pouring water for the prince, the prince hesitated, looking at the amber tea and not knowing whether to take it.

"Don't worry, it's not poisonous." Wei Qian seemed to smile: "If this palace wants to be poisoned, it will not be when you wake up." ”

When he heard this, the prince drank it all in one gulp, because he had been in a coma for several days, and his lips were thirsty, and after drinking it he drank two cups in succession.

"How many days have I been unconscious?" The prince's voice was hoarse and weak.

"The Dragon Boat Festival has passed, but it may also be the effect of worshipping the Five Poison Gods, or the effect of scattering realgar, so that His Highness can get out of danger." Wei Qian opened the collar of the prince's shirt and saw that smallpox had come out, and nodded in satisfaction. As long as the fetal poison is released, the disease will be cured by half.

"The Dragon Boat Festival has passed?" The prince was thinking about the days, and suddenly said, "What about the father?" ”

"The palace didn't let His Majesty come back. The Southern Expedition is at the most critical moment, no matter how much you think about your father, it is impossible for this palace to let your father put down the great cause of the country and come back, just to take care of you alone. Wei Qian Shi Ran sat down again, with a dignified appearance: "So this palace is here to take care of you, which can be regarded as according to the heart of the Queen Mother's old man and His Majesty." “

"Your Majesty can't get out. Your grandmother is old and not in good health these days, so it would not be good if there was a mistake. ”

Hearing that neither of the two relatives had come, the prince's heart was sour. But in addition to the family affection of the heavenly family, there are more state affairs, where is the current private relationship of children in national affairs? And the physical condition of my grandmother is really inconvenient.

Wei Qian beckoned to the maid outside the door: "The prince is awake, you go and ask the imperial doctor, be quiet, don't let others find out." By the way, he brought the prince some easily digestible food, and said that the palace wanted it. The news of the prince's awakening must not be spread. ”

"No, just eat some zongzi." The prince's stomach growled, but when he smelled the aroma of zongzi leaves, there were two fresh meat dumplings on Wei Qian's table.

"You just woke up and can't eat something as indigestible as glutinous rice." Wei Qian instructed someone to take away the zongzi and bring chicken soup to the prince to replenish him.

The prince drank a small cup of old ginseng and wolfberry black chicken soup. Wei Qian continued to transcribe the folds beside her, revising one or two from time to time, and continuing to write on a different piece of paper.

"What is Concubine Ning writing?" The prince couldn't help but step forward to check.

When he saw Wei Qian's list of items, he was surprised and said, "You...... How dare you meddle in government affairs? ”

What Wei Qian wrote was a peace treaty with the Saibei Hu people.

"You are a harem concubine, how do you write this?"

Wei Qian glanced at him: "You can't handle the government in the past few days, Your Majesty ordered the Empress Dowager to temporarily hold the seal." The ministers wrote the book, and then the queen mother stamped it. However, the treaty on Seb's side has not been negotiated. How can the Queen Mother know this? Hongu had no choice but to write a treaty to negotiate with the Khan himself. ”

The crown prince stood next to him and read the treaty written by Wei Qian. Wei Qian's treaty had no such thing as reparations at all. This is a treaty transcribed from the compromises of Lin Ruhai and others, and rewritten according to Wei Qian's own ideas.

It is completely different from the treaty that the prince saw that day: "Didn't the court negotiate to pay compensation to Saibei?" Why isn't there such content? ”

"Reparations? Now that the southern expedition is so nervous, do you still want to send money to the north? Waiting for the future they hit us with this money? Wei Qian was unceremoniously: "If these words are sent to His Majesty's ears, you must be slapped to death!" ”

"Khan is in hand, we have the upper hand, and we still have to pay compensation?"

The prince said: "After all, we broke the contract before, and we always have to show something." ”

"Breaking the contract? What covenant to break? Lifting the peace is the meaning of the Khan, what does it have to do with us? Wei Qian looked at the prince: "Prince, you are young and thin-skinned. But what kind of Taoist masters are those old adults pretending to be masters one by one? Prince, you remember, there is no so-called benevolence and righteousness in this state affair. ”

This is Wei Qian's deep experience in recent years.

The courtiers learn benevolence and righteousness, which is convenient for the emperor to control. Loyalty to the monarch and serving the country, this is the learning of the courtiers.

Seeing that there was no one around, Wei Qian simply said to the prince: "Throughout the ages, although all dynasties have admired Confucianism and given such courtesy to the holy masters of Confucianism, to put it bluntly, it is to maintain the rule of the dynasty!" ”

"Confucianism and internal law, there is no law to govern the country, there is no army to defend the dynasty, there is no peasant to support the people, you rely on the word 'benevolence and righteousness' to feed the people of the whole country?"

"No kidding!"

Wei Qian said lazily: "Those old masters, it's enough to use them as decorations." Listen to them, do you want to die in the country? ”

The prince was young, and he was stunned by Wei Qian's bluffing, and the meaning Wei Qian's words were similar to what Situ Yun had taught him before.

"Confucianism? Emperor, you need to know. The so-called Confucianism, if it were not for the three outlines and five constants to maintain the rule of our king, why would we lean towards Confucianism? ”

"Why was Confucianism weak in the pre-Qin era? Why was Confucianism strong after Emperor Wu? The key lies in their core ideas. ”

Thinking of his father's words, the prince was thoughtful.

At this time, Wei Qian wrote the treaty. Most of the treaties she prepared were trade-oriented. Trade in silk, tea and salt to the north, while ensuring trade, will not make the north grow stronger and jam the throat of the north. When the north gets used to the south's material export, it will affect their military morale for the southern war.

"This treaty is not good for the North, will they sign it?"

"It's thanks to the Prince." Wei Qian smiled and said: "These days, the prince is seriously ill, and the palace has ordered people to spread rumors, saying that the priest of Saibei secretly cast a curse to frame him. ”

"There are endless rumors in the palace, and the palace is adding soldiers outside the Linzhao Hall every day for psychological oppression. These days they are terrified, where can they care about any treaty? They hurriedly wanted to return to Saibei, for fear that they would be dragged out and cut down by the palace as a scapegoat. ”

"......" The prince was speechless, he knew why his father respected this concubine. In terms of Wei Qian's style of doing things, she is somewhat similar to her father.

The methods of this thick black pit man......

The prince was suddenly dazzled, and Wei Qian hurriedly said: "You just woke up, your body has not healed yet, lie down honestly, and you don't have to worry about things outside." If you are really worried, the Ming Japanese Palace will read you the fold, and you will hand over every qiē. ”

The news of the crown prince's awakening was temporarily blocked by Wei Qian, so as to negotiate terms with the Khan, and forcibly negotiated a trade treaty with Wei Qian. They were forced to agree to establish an earthen city on the grassland, which would be fully controlled by the imperial court as a place for trade and trade.

As for taxes and fees, half of the dividends were shared by the court and the khan.

This is the throat of the entire Saibei and the imperial court's trade, using this place to make a steady stream of money from Saibei, and exploiting it a little bit economically.

After signing the contract, Khan and the others hurriedly fled Chang'an, for fear that Wei Qian would attack them with the help of the prince's serious illness. These days, there are constant rumors in the womb, such as "killing barbarians and sacrificing the living people", "killing the priests of Saibei to rescue the prince" and so on.

Back in Sebei, the khan finally settled down. But what awaits him is a messy grassland. These days, the people of the Central Plains have stirred up contradictions in various places, and various tribes have fought fiercely. It will take him a long time to settle these contradictions.

Ten days later, the prince recovered. The second prince also announced a great deal.

In June, I don't know why the Queen Mother was furious, and thoroughly investigated the Six Palaces and deposed a large group of palace concubines.

Jia Yuanchun's position as a virtuous concubine was stripped and demoted to one of the nine concubines, and her status was still below Chen Mengyu. Three of the nine concubines had accidents and were deprived of their concubines. As for the two Baolin, who took care of the prince's illness, they took the opportunity to take the position and became the nine concubines.

"It's actually a virtuous concubine?" Xiangling only understood a little at this time: "Concubine Xian Niangniang made a move on the prince, so her child ......"

"Poison yourself." Hongchun rolled her eyes and helped Wei Qian clean up the Qingbian Palace.

Hongchun asked casually, "Speaking of Niangniang, how did you get the prince to report to the Queen Mother to beat Concubine Xian Niangniang?" ”

"I didn't say anything, I just told stories to the prince every day these days." Wei Qian smiled. During the prince's recuperation, he helped the prince read the folds, and by the way, he talked about some knowledge of the art of war.

Like the bitter meat meter? Another example is the murder of the martial queen in the folk wild history?

With a slight hint, the prince pondered that he was infected with smallpox, and immediately suspected Jia Yuanchun. It won't be Yuanchun, right? Then find someone to check, the potion that the imperial doctor boiled for the second prince, Yuan Chun did not give the second prince any of them.

The prince suddenly realized, but he didn't say anything, but found his uncle Wang Zheng.

Wang Zheng is one of the few people in the Wang family who understands. After the two of them combined, they introduced Concubine Xian into the game, and the design caused a big change in the harem in June, which angered the Queen Mother to clean up the entire harem, and those who were not clean with their hands and feet naturally could not escape.

The two Baolin, who took care of the prince, became concubines, and Wei Qian became the only concubine, which was the prince's reward for the three.

"It's also Wang Zheng who is showing favor to the palace again." Wei Qian understood the plans of the crown prince and Wang Zheng. Wei Qian has no children, if she has a good relationship with Donggong, this is a win-win situation.

In the sky above the Fengzao Palace, the fire phoenix turned into a firebird after a wail. Only a huge Danfeng covers the six palaces, and the momentum is unparalleled.

Wei Qian thought for a while and instructed Hongchun: "The prince is cured, but you still can't eat greasy things, you send the lotus seed tea sent by your mother not long ago to the prince." ”

Etiquette is still exchanged, since the prince admits that she is in charge of the six palaces, what if she returns the prince to a stable position in the east palace?
