It was February in the blink of an eye, and it was not until seventeen that Xia Hanqiu finally waited for the reply from the change, which was much slower than she expected.

pinched the letter and didn't open it, and asked Chen Jiu what was going on.

At this time, it was freezing cold, Chen Jiuyi drank a few cups of hot tea that had just been brewed to relieve the chill and speak a little, "Back to the princess, since the beginning of the year, the prince has begun to attack the city, and when he received your message, he had just taken the border city of Qin, and the prince did not stop, personally led the army to take advantage of the situation to pursue, and won several cities one after another, and finally came back this time to send a letter to the prince, but also to report the victory, Qin has only three cities left at this time, including the capital, and the city is just around the corner." ”

"So fast?" Xia Hanqiu exclaimed, this speed was really unexpected by her.

Chen Jiu's eyes couldn't hide the brilliance, "It is not an exaggeration to say that the prince is leading the troops, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is like a bamboo, the morale is already high, and later General Yu personally led people to reinforce it, and the last general believes that it will not take long to succeed." ”

Thinking of the situation of the Qin State, Xia Hanqiu felt that there was nothing unbelievable, a country had never experienced a war, coupled with the see-saw war between the royal family and the family, but the morale was booming, and the army that had been run-in from the war was afraid that it would not even have the strength to fight.

Signaling Chen Jiu to go down to rest first, Xia Hanqiu tore open the letter, and the handwriting that came into his eyes seemed to be contaminated with murderous aura like that person, and his strokes were as sharp as knives.

The thin two-page paper, Xia Hanqiu read it back and forth several times, most of it was the right thing, only a few words were left but he was full of longing, remembering that he had promised to end the matter before March, Xia Hanqiu counted the days before he felt a little more comfortable.

The Qin State had a family. The Shi family also has a Shi An, and Shi An was indeed driven out of the Qin State, but the reason for this is because Shi An wants to change the status quo of the Qin State, and the royal family reuses him, but the family spares no effort to obstruct it, after all, those changes are all touched by their interests, and after several tug-of-wars, the royal family finally sacrificed Shi An to calm down the incident.

As Shi An himself said, if it weren't for the Shi family's efforts to protect him. His life was going to be lost. Because of this, the vitality of the Shi family was greatly damaged, and it fell from a family that was still ranked first to the bottom, and now it is almost closed.

In other words, it proves that Shi An did not lie to her. The background is also right. This person is available.

The letter also mentions the Meng family. After sending Old Man Meng's letter into the city, the head of the Meng family came out to meet him in disguise without knowing what method, after a round of confrontation. The two reached a preliminary cooperation, but the other party obviously didn't want to bear the charge of treason, and only promised to help unite the befriended family afterwards to reduce the resistance in the city, but as for the top nobles, he also said that there was nothing he could do.

I really don't know whether to say that the people of the Qin State have been taught well since childhood, they are obviously weak, but they all keep the bottom limit, if some concepts are not passed down from generation to generation, they will definitely not be able to do it to such an extent, which is probably only possible with a family with a long heritage like the Qin State.

In addition, the letter mentions the question of the governance of the seized city, which she can imagine how overstretched it is.

After thinking about it, Xia Hanqiu called Mingde in, "Uncle Ming, you personally go to the Xu family, the Wei family, and the Deng family, and invite the three old men to come to the yamen." ”

"Yes."

Although the three of them were all over one hundred and fifty years old, they all became old and fine, and as soon as they received the summons, they understood that the opportunity had come, and almost without a pause, they put on a thick cloak and ran to the yamen in a carriage.

Because Mingde went to Xu's hometown first, the old man came the fastest.

The maid served tea, and Xia Hanqiu said: "Please wait for the old man, and I will talk together after Wei Lao and Deng Lao come." ”

Looking at the person behind the bookcase who raised his eyes to see that his movements had not stopped, Old Man Xu hurriedly said: "Yes, the princess doesn't have to care about the old ministers." ”

The other two came back and forth, they were about the same age, they were around fifty, Old Man Xu was ten years older than them, but he could be properly maintained, and he looked only in his early fifties, and the two real fifty looked a lot younger than their actual age.

"I just received the news, the prince's side is a big victory, and there are only three cities left in the Qin country, which is naturally a great joy, but the problem is also here, the city that has been captured needs to be managed, although there is an old man Chen, but there is also a lack of spare strength, and the capital of the Qin country is also full of problems, and the prince is not a person who can take care of those things, so I invited the three of them to come over because of this matter, I don't know if the three of them are willing to go."

The three of them glanced at each other, and Old Man Xu said: "The old minister is willing in every way, but I don't know if the princess wants to pick someone from the three ministers or let all three of them go?" ”

"Go for both." Xia Hanqiu rubbed her wrist, she wrote too much, her wrist was sore and sore, so she had to use a hot towel from time to time, and now Zishuang had already come over with a hot towel to put it on her.

The three of them are all people who have been dealing with pen and ink all year round, how could they not know what is wrong with the princess, thinking that she was busy working just out of confinement, bearing all the pressure, and not knowing how she survived day by day, her heart softened a little, and the gentleness on her face would be frightened if her family saw it, "When does the princess want her ministers to leave?" ”

"The sooner the better, the prince has always been a fast march, so there are few Wenchen at hand, but there are some things that only Wenchen can do, I am really afraid that there will be chaos ahead and ruin the prince's hard work."

Wei Lao nodded, "The princess understands what the ministers mean, please ask the princess to give the ministers two days, and after two days, the ministers will leave for them." ”

"In this way, it will be hard for the three, although the three of them know more than me, but there is one thing I still have to reiterate, you can't use strict government, let alone tyranny, change the master and the people are in a panic, any spark can provoke a civil uprising, if you are used to make trouble, it will be endless, the current situation Huai Rou policy is the most effective, as long as the people's lives are lived, I believe it is not difficult to pacify it."

"Yes, keep in mind."

When the three of them rushed to the Qin State, Shi An officially joined Xia Hanqiu and became her staff.

As soon as he took office, he classified the things that Xia Hanqiu is in charge of now one by one, the merger that should be merged, the abandonment that should be abandoned, and the last remaining ones were all assigned to those female adults, Xia Hanqiu only took big ideas, and suddenly changed from extremely busy to idle, Xia Hanqiu almost couldn't believe it.

Probably because he was busy, he was uncomfortable when he was idle, so he simply picked up the shocking catastrophe that had been broken for several months and continued to write.

Shi Ancheng came up and accidentally saw a line of words, even if he admitted to himself that nothing in the world could make him change his face, this moment was also broken, and the thought grew crazy once it was born.

"What? Is something wrong? Xia Hanqiu raised his eyes to him and asked strangely.

Shi An wanted to reply that it was nothing, but he couldn't take his eyes back from the rice paper, and his mouth opened but he didn't squeeze out a sound.

Looking at his line of sight, Xia Hanqiu felt a sigh in her heart, she had been hiding it too well, so that she had forgotten that Zhu Yan's identity had always been unknown.

Coughing lightly, Xia Hanqiu lowered his head and took a sip of tea, "Just ask whatever you want." ”

Shi An has been in Huiting for four years, Zhu Yan knows it, he even spent an unknown amount of time to inquire about this person, and finally locked the target in the Qiwang Mansion, and even doubted whether Zhu Yan was the fourth prince, after all, the time coincided, but he thought of anyone, but he never pulled Zhu Yan and the princess together.

Zhu Yan has only written two books, one of which has not even been written, but to put it mildly, Zhu Yan is known to everyone in the circle of readers.

I don't know how many people have been inspired by a book of shocking catastrophes now, even when he was at his most depressed, he climbed back from the abyss of resentment because of watching the shocking catastrophe.

If it is placed on someone else, this book will definitely attract the envy of many people if it sells so well, but instead of attracting the envy of others, people who have extra money will buy a few more copies and collect them.

The reason is simple, because in the past two years, there has been chaos outside, eating and drinking is the most important thing, where can I still take care of buying spiritual food.

Since then, the World Tribulation has ceased to be profitable, and if anyone is willing to spend money to buy it, then naturally no one will push the silver out, but the vast majority of it is given away for nothing, not only in Huiting, but also in other places.

No bookstore was willing to take over this loss-making business, so every time a new volume came out, someone would send the books to other places one by one, selling or delivering them at a designated place.

And the number of each volume that comes out has been increasing, and if there is no more on the market, it will be printed, he quietly calculated an account, Zhu Yan has lost at least 20,000 taels of silver in the past two years, and there has been no new one in the past few months, and he only thinks that Zhu Yan can't carry it, so he can only break it there.

Now that he knows who Zhu Yan may be, he understands that where is the problem with the funds, he really can't spare time to write.

He wanted to find an answer from Zhu Yan, and he also wanted to say thank you to him.

Stabilizing his mind, Shi An asked softly, "The princess is Zhu Yan?" Or is Zhu Yan the princess? ”

Xia Hanqiu smiled, "It's all the same, you change the order, both of them are me, surprised?" ”

"If you don't see it with your own eyes, no one can think of it!" Shi An suddenly picked up the corner of his green shirt and knelt down, his attitude was that he had not been solemn on the day he officially worshiped Xia Hanqiu.

"Shi An thanks the princess is Zhu Yan, because Zhu Yan has the current Shi An, if you didn't inadvertently see the shocking catastrophe you wrote, Shi An is still giving up on himself, hating the Qin State, hating the family, hating those who have eyes and beads and only know to take care of the immediate interests, living in hatred every day, after reading your book, I know that people can live so vigorously, so indomitable, obviously it is not easy, but every day is a day of hope, and I am treating every day of mine as the last day, slowly, I ...... destroy yourself as those people wish, I ......"
