Chapter 81: Seeing Strangers (1)
What Zhou Pingshen didn't expect was that he hadn't gone to She Shuman yet, but she came to the door first, and Zhou Pingshen didn't expect that She Shuman was She Chengzhang's daughter.
It's better that way!
Ning Feixue, this country is not surnamed Ning, nor will it be surnamed Ning.
She Shuman also calculated that Zhou Pingshen was in a disadvantageous situation, so he came to the door. I use you, you use me, this is officialdom.
Wave after wave of unsettled, the matter of moving the grave has not been resolved, and a news from the palace hit Shu Qingyue's body like a thunderbolt.
She Shuman entered the palace in the name of Zhou Pingshen's righteous daughter. On the 28th of this month, the emperor has canonized She Shuman as a concubine.
How so?
Shu Qingyue couldn't figure it out, and was even more worried about She Shuman.
It's about She Shuman, and she can't ignore it.
Just as Shu Qingyue was trying to find a way to enter the palace, the palace people came to Shu's mansion and said that Man'er Niangniang wanted to see her.
"Man'er Niangniang?" Is this who She Shuman is now?
In the palace, Yuan Ming announced a luxurious palace to She Shuman, Qionglou Jinque, magnificent. Shu Qingyue walked in the palace, the sound of her feet stepping on the stone slab was golden, she bent her hands, and the beams and walls were shining with golden light, all of which stinged her eyes.
The palace is humane, the emperor is very favored by the new Man Niangniang, because of She Shuman, Zhou Pingshen has been reused by the emperor, and gave a mansion, 10,000 taels of gold, and 1,000 acres of fertile land. This favored Cheng dรน is by no means inferior to Ning Feixue when she first entered the palace.
The palace people introduced Shu Qingyue into the Golden Bird Hall and went out.
"You're all back." She Shuman was waiting inside.
"Yes." The other palace attendants in the palace also retreated.
In the huge palace, only Shu Qingyue and She Shuman are left. Is the palace too big? Shu Qingyue realized that the air swirling on the four walls was cold.
She Shuman is a concubine, and she is also wearing plain clothes, with a Zhu Hai inserted between her hair bundles, and a gentle expression on her face. Clearly. is still the same as Shu Qingyue is familiar with, what is it that forces them all to change?
"Sister Shuman, why do you want to enter the palace? Is it Zhou Pingshen or the emperor forcing you. "Shu Qingyue can't accept it.
"It's me who wants to enter the palace." She Shuman Road.
"Why?" Shu Qingyue looked at She Shuman, wanting to see through the person in front of her.
"Originally, I was this kind of woman who loved vanity." She Shuman's shallow countenance, at that moment. It's also more ruthless than anyone else.
Shu Qingyue didn't speak. Still looking at She Shuman.
"I came to you to sue you, I have nothing to do with your eldest brother for a long time. You don't have to dwell on it anymore and get in the way of my future. She Shuman said again.
"Really?" Shu Qingyue should have a lot to say, and suddenly, she didn't want to say anything. Don't want to ask.
Even though, Shu Qingyue still didn't believe that She Shuman was that kind of person. But what's the use of saying anything, she can't stop it, and she can't change it.
"Yes." She Shuman's indifferent eyes were more or less tender.
But. Whether it is gentle or not, whether it is ruthless, has come to this point. There was no going back.
There was silence for a long time, and no one said much. Shu Qingyue didn't ask She Shuman, and She Shuman didn't explain, this is the reality, so cruel.
She Shuman left Shu Qingyue in the palace for lunch before leaving, but Shu Qingyue still left.
Out of the Golden Bird Palace, Shu Qingyue took one last look at the palace, the golden Golden Bird Hall was like a cage, and the dazzling brilliance trapped the people inside, along with their souls.
On the other side, in the Qiankun Palace, the ministers are discussing the disaster relief from the great drought in Chungju.
"Your Majesty, over the years, there have been many wars, and the military expenditure has been huge, and the treasury can not come up with much silver." Li Jingming, the head of the household, played.
"Your Majesty, there has been a severe drought in the Chungju area, there has been no harvest in the past three years, those who have starved to death, those who have left their hometowns, the people are miserable, and disaster relief matters cannot be delayed." Thorn Shi Song Gao played.
The ministers of the "Emperor's ......" and "Emperor's ......" have their own opinions.
Yuan Mingxuan sat on the dragon throne, listening to the sound of the court arguing, he rubbed the corners of his forehead, and seemed a little irritable.
Zhou Pingshen, who has not expressed his opinion so far, squinted at Ning Sichen, who was also silent opposite, and suddenly, the corner of Zhou Pingshen's mouth provoked a smile and stood up.
"Your Majesty, the Duchy of Shu, Pingshun, Liangchang, and Yu have surrendered one after another, and the remaining counties are also in the bag, so they don't have to fight like before. Military expenditures should be cut in half according to the annual tariff, which can make up for the emptiness of the state treasury and be used for emergencies. Zhou Pingshen said.
"Your Majesty, no, there are already few military supplies, if you reduce the ...... again" It was General Qin Qi who stood up against him, and before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Yuan Mingxuan.
"Just do what Prime Minister Zhou said, and cut military spending by half. The Chungju disaster relief was the sole responsibility of Prime Minister Zhou. Yuan Ming announced the order.
"Commandment. Long live my emperor, long live. "Zhou Pingshen is in charge.
From beginning to end, Ning Sichen did not say a word.
In the court, the ministers were still discussing, and Ning Sichen was distracted, and his already thick pupils became deeper and deeper.
"If nothing else, let's retreat." Yuan Mingxuan had long been impatient.
"Long live the Martial Emperor, long live, long live." The courtiers knelt down, and Yuan Mingxuan walked out of the Qiankun Palace.
Outside the main hall, Zhou Pingshen walked towards Ning Sichen.
"Marshal Ning's expression doesn't look good today." Zhou Pingshen had a smile in his eyes, but that smile was obviously ill-intentioned. The power of the Ning sisters and brothers has expanded rapidly, and they have already become a thorn in Zhou Pingshen's eyes, to the point where they must be pulled out. Without military funds, it is like a horse without rations, even if he is a marshal, no matter how energetic he is, he can't use it.
"The Prime Minister is full of spring breeze. It's just that there will be something unclear in the end, when did the Man'er girl from the Water Pavilion become the prime minister's righteous daughter? On the day the emperor conferred the title of concubine, Ning Sichen went to investigate She Shuman. However, the true identity of She Shuman was not found.
"Manniangniang was originally the daughter of the deceased, but her family was mutated, and her whereabouts are unknown, poor child. It is also God's eyes, so that the old man can find it by chance. Before sending She Shuman into the palace, Zhou Pingshen also thought of a rhetoric, so as not to fall into the hands of others. As for the first half, it is true.
"I don't know who the old man in the prime minister's mouth is?" Ning Sichen asked again.
"It's all in the past, hey." Zhou Pingshen sighed, avoiding She Shuman's true identity. "The matter of disaster relief in Chungju cannot be delayed, and the old man has taken the first step."
Zhou Pingshen left stupidly, and Ning Sichen didn't follow, and after stopping for a while, he also went in the direction of the outside of the palace. But at the gate of the palace, I met Shu Qingyue, who left from the Golden Bird Palace.
He and she should not have seen each other for half a month.
And in this time, too many things have happened. (To be continued)
