Chapter 355: Cat Story

originally had a good feeling, so when they met again, Ji Qian involuntarily felt strong feelings of guilt and pity for Su Lie in her heart, so later, driven by this mood, Ji Qian began to take the initiative to approach Su Lie......

When Shi Qingyi rushed back from the distant Western Regions, after she finally heard the story about Ji Qian and Su Lie, Shi Qingyi couldn't help but sigh, the world is unpredictable, providence is like a knife, in the past, Shi Qingyi did not hesitate to threaten Su Lie with Su Lie's family, forcing Su Lie to bow his head so that the last Su Lie betrayed his relatives, but now, it is retribution, but Su Lie abducted his right-hand man Ji Qian, is this the cause and effect that the bald donkeys of Buddhism are used to saying?

It should be said that at the very beginning, of course, Ji Qian would never have any abnormal thoughts about Su Lie, after all, if you talk about understanding people's hearts, Ji Qian, who has become the leading talented woman in Chang'an and even the world from a girl who was abducted and trafficked, can definitely be called experienced in a hundred battles and has seen too much, and Su Lie is certainly wise and brave, however, compared to many peerless geniuses that Ji Qian has seen, he is not very outstanding, but fate is something that can never be speculated on in vain. Everyone, including Su Lie and Ji Qian, didn't expect that these two people would finally come together!

Perhaps, this is also in response to the old saying: when a woman will pity this other man from the heart, it means that the woman is almost finished!

But to be honest, for this marriage, all the people related to Ji Qian are still extremely happy for her, after all, Su Lie attaches great importance to love and righteousness, and Ji Qian can marry him, which is undoubtedly a good destination, and Li Shimin, as the emperor, is also very happy about this matter, because under Ji Qian's tenderness and encouragement. The down-and-out Su Lie also regained himself, and wanted to return to the army and make contributions with his military exploits! And the army that Su Lie can join at this time, apart from the Tang Army, what army can he have?

Su Lie's surrender, which has recovered his best condition, is for Li Shimin, who is now worried about the invasion of the northern Turks. It is undoubtedly a good thing that pie in the sky falls, especially that Su Lie values love and righteousness, and his own wife is Shi Qingyi's right-hand man, so Li Shimin does not have to worry about Su Lie's loyalty.

So, after getting Su Lie's surrender, Li Shimin immediately arranged for him to take up a position in the army, and hurriedly sent Su Lie to the northern border to take up his post to guard against the invasion of the northern Turks. And as Su Lie's wife, of course, Ji Qian had no choice but to follow all the way......

He meowed a giant panda, Li Shimin, didn't he think about the consequences if Shi Qingyi came back and couldn't see Ji Qian? Or is he knowingly committing a crime!

Although in essence, Shi Qingyi did not have any actual loss, who let Li Shimin have everything now, Shi Qingyi has long been regarded as his own - yes, not his own family property. Will Shi Qingyi give up the long trip he had always wanted to make and return to clean up the mess after hearing about the serious natural disaster that had broken out in the north? And this time. Obviously, Ji Qian bought one and got one free, and abducted a famous general Su Lie to Li Shimin and Shi Qingyi, although he was very dissatisfied with Ji Qian's order to be forced to leave Chang'an by Li Shimin, but in fact, Shi Qingyi was still very happy in his heart, and although Ji Qian could not stay in Chang'an to preside over the central affairs in the future. However, when he went to the northern border, he could also open up forces for Shi Qingyi there and set up trade routes, and due to the impact of the Turks' successive raids and looting, various industries in the border area withered. And isn't this a good opportunity for Ji Qian to display her abilities?

But it's a good thing, Li Shimin used someone who belonged to her without going through Shi Qingyi's hands, which made Shi Qingyi very dissatisfied, maybe others don't know Shi Qingyi, but Li Shimin must know, and therefore Li Shimin knows that Shi Qingyi will always be indifferent to the world, and there is an extremely arrogant heart. Shi Qingyi will never allow anyone to use anything that belongs to her at will, and the closer that person is to her, the more she will mind, in contrast, if the person who offended Shi Qingyi is a complete stranger to Shi Qingyi, Shi Qingyi is calm in his heart, but the subsequent revenge is also very heavy, Shi Qingyi has never been a tolerant and generous person, but she hides this very well when she thinks about it, and only people who are extremely close to her can detect it.

Is Li Shimin angry because of Shi Qingyi's actions in the past two years, so he wants to show off his majesty in front of Shi Qingyi, or is it the pressure from the north and all over the country at this time that has made him have to make this decision! Perhaps, and this is both, however, for the embarrassing situation encountered by Li Shimin at this time, Shi Qingyi can only say one sentence: The road is all taken by yourself, since of course you have chosen such a road, then the current situation, shouldn't it have been expected early on? Although tens of millions of people have gone to me, it should be regarded as atonement for the sins of the past, and Li Shimin should also support everything alone......

Xiao You's departure was very hurried, of course, there was no lack of her to work immediately in order to arrange the implementation of Shi Qingyi's dictated plan, but Shi Qingyi must be able to imagine that Xiao You's departure this time was impossible not to provide news to the palace, however, Shi Qingyi didn't care much about this, because all along, judging from the information Shi Qingyi obtained, Xiao You's mind has almost always been in the expansion of trade routes in various places, and his attention to other things is almost none, not to mention the year of famine. Xiao You's workload is much more than in previous years, so Xiao You is not very clear that Li Shimin and his children with Shi Qingyi and other people who are closely related to Shi Qingyi are not in Chang'an at this time, but in Luoyang, the eastern capital.

Speaking of which, although Li Shimin is also a good monarch who loves his people, after all, because of his aristocratic background, Li Shimin is not as good as his predecessor, Emperor Wen Yang Jian of the previous dynasty, in many of Anmin's actions, but he is twisted and pinched, contrary to his brave and fearless style on the battlefield.

For example, in the language of the policy of relief for the victims at this time! In the past, Emperor Wen of Sui was eloquent, but because of the threat of the Turks, a powerful and complete super steppe empire in the north, he had to desperately store all military supplies to prevent the invasion of the Turks, and food was of course the top priority. Therefore, when the drought broke out in Guanzhong in the early years of Emperor Wen of Sui, although Emperor Wen of Sui loved the people like a son, he was still stingy like a miser, refusing to distribute half a grain of stored official grain to relieve the victims, but although he refused to distribute grain. The greatness of Emperor Wen of Sui is still vividly manifested in this famine: he actually personally led millions of refugees from Guanzhong to the east, all the way to Luoyang, the eastern capital, where he ate, thus saving countless victims of the disaster.

In contrast, in the face of the same famine, Li Shimin is much inferior, in fact. At this time, compared with the external conditions that Emperor Wen of Sui had to face, the environment of the Tang Dynasty was undoubtedly much better, because the Turkic Empire in the past had not only been divided, but also the two major Turkic forces in the east and west that it had split at this time were still in a state of hostility and attack each other, so they had been unable to move south, especially the Eastern Turkic Empire, which could pose a serious threat to the Tang Dynasty at this time, was just in the same situation as the Tang Empire. So that at this time, the threat posed by the Eastern Turks to Li Shimin was almost negligible.

It is precisely because there are almost no serious threats from the outside. Li Shimin was able to devote most of his energy to this catastrophe in China, and he was also able to take out a part of the grain from the warehouse to help the victims! Reduce the burden on the private sector.

However, in the end, Li Shimin did not lead his people to Luoyang to eat like Yang Jian, Emperor Wen of Sui in the past. It must be known that although the external environment he faced was undoubtedly much better in the era of Emperor Wen of Sui, the severity of this famine was also greatly surpassed that of Emperor Wen of Sui in the previous dynasty, so that in secret. Li Shimin has actually been constantly reducing the use of the court, so that even the comfortable life of the emperor Li Yuan has been affected a lot, Li Shimin also in the name of official transfer, in this year of the disaster and famine, the officials of the court and the central government have been constantly sent to other places, in fact, in order to reduce the expenses of the court and the government......

-- Li Shimin has really compressed the administrative consumption of the entire imperial court in Guanzhong to the limit!

However, it is still far from enough, even if most of the affected people have fled their homeland, even if most of the officials have been dismissed, even if the army has all been mobilized, day and night in various places to transfer food, the lack of materials is still far from enough, so that after a year of hard support, in order to reduce the burden of the people in Guanzhong again, Li Shimin also had to run to Luoyang in the name of patrolling, with the last wave of important officials of the imperial court......

Therefore, at this time, there are just some left-behind officials in Chang'an City, how dare these people restrict Shi Qingyi's actions and leave her in Chang'an City?

Moreover, in Shi Qingyi's original plan, she was originally going to go to other parts of the country soon after arriving in Chang'an, on the one hand, to understand the actual situation across the country, and on the other hand, in order to be able to coordinate the overall situation in the next and mobilize materials from all over the country to support the disaster area as much as possible, Shi Qingyi could not stay in Chang'an City at all.

Of course, the news of Shi Qingyi's return will definitely reach Li Shimin's ears, but in this regard, Shi Qingyi is not very worried about this, although Li Shimin is abnormal, impulsive and reckless, but in the face of major rights and wrongs, he has always been able to rationally restrain himself, and in the face of this grim situation in most parts of the north, he will never let his personal feelings override reason. Maybe after learning this news, he will suffer a lot of gains and losses, but he will not do stupid things that disrupt Shi Qingyi's plan because of this. Speaking of which, in this regard, Shi Qingyi, like many people, is full of confidence in Li Shimin.

Therefore, if you don't want to see it, you don't want to see it, if there is a fate in the future, he will meet one day!

Shi Qingyi thought in her heart - okay, cowardice is cowardice, Shi Qingyi is afraid of death, so for people who can cause emotional fluctuations in her heart, she can only stay away at this time.

In fact, in addition to Li Shimin, there were two people in Chang'an who could change Shi Qingyi's mind, but unfortunately, at this time, they were not in Chang'an, or even the entire Guanzhong area.

One of them is Pei Ju, the adopted son of the Pei family in Hedong in the past, and later became the head of the Pei family, the former minister of the world, but it is a pity that Xiao He is defeated and Xiao He, for the demise of the previous dynasty, this former minister also has an unshirkable responsibility, so when the dynasty was established, Pei Ju, who was burdened by the former reputation, could only take a back seat in the cause of the establishment of the new dynasty, so as to leave the opportunity to make contributions to those juniors behind him.

Then, it is Pei Ju's identity as the head of the Pei family, which was seized by Pei Lian, who is also a child of the Pei family, although compared to Pei Ju, Pei Lian's talent is undoubtedly mediocre, however, it is Pei Lian, who has mediocre talent, but has an absolute advantage that Pei Ju cannot compare no matter what: he is the founder of the foundation of the Tang Dynasty, and the old friend of the former Tang Emperor Li Yuan, and Li Yuan has always treated his friends with sincerity, so later, the mediocre Pei Lin can replace Pei Ju to become the head of the Pei family, so it can be so logical......

With this series of losses, Pei Ju, a former important minister, also began to become more and more depressed, and the scene at home has changed from the former guests and friends to a crowd, and Pei Ju seems to have begun to adapt to this gray life, he began to gradually stop being keen on participating in court affairs, do not communicate with his former relatives and friends, and began to become simple, living like a hermit......
