The two corpses in the house were removed, and a soldier came in with a barrel and a rag to mop the floor, and opened the window to disperse the filth.

Xiao Shiji grabbed a small oilcloth bag in one hand and a sachet in the other, standing in front of the window blankly, looking at the noon sun in the desert.

In the desert in the hot summer, the ground outside is so hot that chickens can be cooked. However, the Turkic royal court chose an excellent territory, and the front and back yards were planted with many trees that can survive in the desert, covering the shade in front of the house.

From the first month of the army, to now in July and August, half a year has passed, and he finally found what he was looking for.

But after the things arrived, he didn't feel relaxed, but felt more heavy in his heart.

If there was still half a doubt before, it is completely gone now.

What Xu Shao said is true, and what Princess Chaoyang said is also true. Of course, the part about An Zichang is omitted. He didn't see the slightest trace of An Zichang in the evidence, and besides, counting the time, An Zichang was not in Chang'an at that time, and he was not much older than him. For such a big matter, it is impossible for Xu Shao's original wife to find him to help.

It's just Xu Shao...... This person's position in the whole thing is too subtle.

Xiao Shiji's hands tightened, only to find that his palms were sweaty. The clenching was so tight that the little oilcloth bag was almost crushed by him......

Putting these two things away solemnly, Xiao Shiji instructed outside: "Spread the generals from all walks of life, there is something important today!" ”

The important thing, of course, is to pull the team back to Chang'an.

He's been here long enough, of course. It's not in vain. He worked hard here, uprooting the last trace of influence of the Turkic royal family, renamed this place "Shun", all called "Shunzhou", and sent an order to the Central Plains boundary on Fanyang's side, ordering them to migrate a large number of people.

The fields and pastures here were divided between the people who migrated from the Central Plains and the local indigenous people.

Previously, all the fields and pastures here belonged to the royal family and the nobility, and there were only two kinds of people in the royal city, slaves and nobles.

Now the nobles were killed by Xiao Shihe. Hurry, hurry. The rest were slaves.

Slaves can get rid of slavery and get their own fields and pastures, of course, they can be grateful to Xiao Shi and Dade, and they can also live in harmony with those Central Plains people who migrated from the Central Plains. There is even an almost flattering admiration for these people. - because they have been slaves for a long time. There is no sense of belonging to this land. Therefore, there is no malice towards these people who migrated to the Central Plains later, and they do not think that these people are outsiders and want to seize their land.

Arguably. Xiao Shiji's stroke of genius is of great significance to consolidate the ownership of this land to Daqi.

So much so that in the three hundred years after he withdrew, Shunzhou, the land that was once the court of the Turkic kings, was still the most loyal border to Daqi, helping Daqi block many attacks by a certain barbarian who rose later.

When Xiao Shihe returned to Fanyang with the army, the people of Shunzhou and the local officials were sent ten miles away, and the momentum was very huge.

Emperor Yonghui learned in Chang'an that the Turks had been wiped out, Shunzhou was set in the north, and the territory of Daqi was advanced to the north for more than 1,000 miles.

In the Ganye Temple outside Chang'an City, a small servant is passing a message to Mei Niang outside the door of the meditation room.

"Master Mingkong, our uncle said that there is something important today, and I want to go to worship my ancestors, so I can't come to see you." After the little guy finished speaking casually, he quickly turned around and left without waiting for Mei Niang to speak.

Mei Niang's expression was gloomy in the meditation room, and she watched the back of the little guy walking towards the gate of the courtyard.

Qi Zhi was married in June. Since then, he has never been to Ganye Temple again.

Mei Niang walked to the door of the meditation room, held the door frame with her hand, and looked at a depressed courtyard in a daze.

It was supposed to be the season when the peonies were in full bloom, but none of the several heterogeneous peonies in her yard bloomed, all of them were listless, the leaves were yellow, and no amount of water could save the fate of withering.

"Even you look down on me!" Mei Niang walked down the steps and angrily lashed at those peonies, "If I can get ahead one day, I will order you to bloom in winter!" If you don't open it, all of them will be dug up one by one, beaten into powder, and burned to the ground, so that the world will never have your peony flower seeds from now on! ”

As soon as the little guy walked to the door, when he heard Mei Niang's cruel words, he was so frightened that he staggered and ran faster with a smoke.

Back in the palace, the little guy was actually the little eunuch next to Qi Zhi. He walked around the palace, and when he saw that the prince had not returned, he breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly went to Concubine Xu De to recover his life.

Concubine Xu Defei sat quietly in the palace alone and pounded rouge. She is lazy to play the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting now, and is only willing to do these things to pass the time.

The little eunuch stepped forward and saluted Concubine Xu De and said, "Concubine De, the little one has just come back from outside, and your words have arrived." ”

Concubine Xu Defei's hand paused, put away the rouge on the case, and asked without raising her head, "What did the woman say?" Are you crying and fussing? ”

The little eunuch shook his head, but remembering that the little master of Mingkong was ruthless to make the peony extinct, he couldn't help but shudder, and said tremblingly: "Concubine De Niangniang, if the prince knows about this matter......

"What about the prince's knowledge? His father is still on top, does he dare to disobey his father? Concubine Xu Defei said lightly, and asked the little eunuch again, "How is the little master of Mingkong now?" ”

"Bright Sky ...... The master is okay, but he is a little unhappy with the broken promise of His Royal Highness the Prince. ”

"Did you tell her that she was dead? Although she has never served His Majesty, but in terms of name, she is a talented person under His Majesty, which no one can change! Xu Defei said, excited, and broke the nails that had just been painted more than an inch long.

The little eunuch hurriedly bowed his head and said, "The little one knows the truth." ”

Concubine Xu Defei looked at the broken nails painted with Kodan, and her face was full of sorrow, "...... It's also that the princess is useless, too honest to accept the prince's heart. In my opinion, I have to find another Lingxiu and intelligent person for the prince who can sing and make peace with his poems. Concubine Xu said thoughtfully, and thought of another candidate in her mind.

The little eunuch listened to this and understood that the prince's east palace was about to enter again.

Came out of Concubine Xu De's palace. The little eunuch returned to the East Palace, and happened to meet the crown princess Wang coming out of the main hall.

"The crown princess." The little eunuch bowed and saluted.

The crown princess Wang is the daughter of the Taiyuan Wang family, she was born with a round face like a full moon, thin willow eyebrows, big apricot eyes, not tall, plump, it is when she is newly married to Yan'er with Qi Zhi, the spring breeze is full of faces, and she laughs when she sees people. There is no majesty of the crown princess.

The eunuchs and maids in the palace had a very good impression of this crown princess.

The crown princess Wang smiled and nodded. After a few words to him, he let him go, and waited for the prince Qi Zhi to come back at the palace gate.

Qi Zhi followed Emperor Yonghui to worship the heavens, and did not come back until it was dark.

As soon as he returned. I remembered that today was the day to make an appointment to meet Mei Niang. Suddenly I was in a hurry.

Ever since he got married. I haven't been to Ganye Temple for two or three months, and I don't know if Lu Dao Meiniang is annoyed with him......

After changing his clothes, Qi Zhi hurried out of the city.

Wang was disappointed. He stopped him at the door and said, "Your Highness, it's already dark, where are you going?" ”

Qi Zhitou didn't look back and said: "There is something lonely, I want to go out of the city." ”

Unexpectedly, when he walked to the gate of the palace, a palace maid intercepted him and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness the Prince, Your Majesty is invited." ”

Qi Zhi was stunned and said, "I just came back from my father's emperor. What's the matter with my father? ”

"The slave doesn't know. Ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to go with the slave maid and know the way. Although the palace maid was smiling, her attitude was very resolute.

Qi Zhi's temperament was a little weak, and he didn't dare to disobey his father's orders, so he had to turn around and go to Emperor Yonghui's bedroom with the palace maid to wait.

In the bedroom of Emperor Yonghui, Concubine Xu De was also there.

Over the years, Emperor Yonghui has not summoned Concubine Xu De to sleep again, but she is still in charge of the affairs of the palace.

Concubine Xu Defei came over every few days to report on palace affairs, and the rest of the time, she stayed in the inner palace.

“…… Your Majesty, the concubine saw that this was not a problem, so she made the decision to let the inner servant go to the Ganye Temple to report the news, and asked the little master of Mingkong not to have other thoughts. "Concubine Xu De told me about sending Qi Zhi's little eunuch to Ganye Temple today. In this matter, she did something out of line, but as long as she reported it to Emperor Yonghui, Qi Zhi had no way to blame her even if she knew the Dao.

Emperor Yonghui let out an "oh" and glanced at Concubine Xu De, "Hasn't Zhi'er paid attention yet?" ”

"I just reported to the palace maid that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was thinking about leaving the palace so late." Concubine Xu Defei sighed, "The most painful thing for the queen is His Royal Highness the Prince." Now His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has only been married for a few months, and he is going out again. Your Majesty, don't you want a way to tie His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to the palace? ”

Emperor Yonghui did not make a sound.

After a while, Qi Zhi came and asked, "What does my father command?" ”

Emperor Yonghui raised his eyes and looked at him, "Can I call you if you have something?" I can't call you if I don't have something to do? ”

"Of course not." Qi Zhi was a little anxious, and hurriedly explained, "Erchen is worried about his father's ......."

Emperor Yonghui smiled, "You want to go out?" ”

Qi Zhi opened his mouth, but when he saw Concubine Xu De beside him, he remembered that the palace maid who intercepted him just now was Concubine Xu Defei's palace maid, and he knew that he couldn't hide this matter, so he had to hang his head and say dejectedly: "I don't want to go out now." ”

Emperor Yonghui shook his head, "Come here, let's have dinner with me." ”

"Yes." Qi Zhi arched his hand and followed Emperor Yonghui to the side hall for dinner.

After dinner, it was already late, and it was impossible for Qi Zhi to leave the palace again, so Emperor Yonghui let him go back.

After he went back, it is said that he had a big quarrel with the crown princess, and even moved to the side hall to sleep in anger.

Emperor Yonghui learned of this news the next day, and finally agreed to Concubine Xu Defei's proposal, and chose another room for Qi Zhi, who was the daughter of the Xiao family in Lanling.

Xiao Liangdi is a Jiangnan woman, born petite and exquisite, delicate and elegant, can sing and dance, and can also write poetry, more careless and attentive than the crown princess Wang.

The day Xiao Liangdi was admitted to the palace in a small sedan chair was when Fan Yang Jiedu sent Xiao Shihe back to Chang'an City with a large army to offer prisoners.
