Pei Shu looked at the hour, the sky was not yet dawn, there was still a period of time before the early dynasty, and then raised his eyes and looked around the palace, there were no pedestrians at this point, but no one would find her, and said coldly: "Come in with this king." ”

The county lord of Xiangyi followed Pei Shu to the inner hall, and after removing the hat, he first walked around the room, and then mocked: "You King Kang is really good now, look at this place is more decent than your previous palace." ”

Pei Shu frowned and said, "If you have something to say, you don't have to be so weird." ”

"Sister, I'm suffering inside, but my brother is enjoying Qingfu outside, isn't it too boring?" The county lord of Xiangyi wanted to talk to Pei Shu well, but when he saw himself standing in front of him in brocade clothes so down, the sour water in his stomach kept gushing out.

Without waiting for Pei Shu to answer, the county lord of Xiangyi continued to complain: "I was stopped by your guards last night, but I froze at the gate of the palace all night, at this time, as an elder brother, shouldn't I care about my sister first?" ”

"The emperor has taken you a lot, but the king has seen it in the palace, and the amount of food and clothing has not reduced you." Pei Shu didn't want to waste his tongue on these things, and said bluntly, "You also know that your face can't be exposed in front of people, how can you blame the guards at my door." You tried your best to escape, if you want to stay in the capital, I can't agree, and you have to ask the emperor about this matter. ”

The county lord of Xiangyi found a chair and sat down, took an apple and nibbled on it, and said inarticulately: "I won't go back, the first emperor and the first queen have passed away, I came this time to find Shen Jiahe for them to take revenge, this revenge will not be avenged, I will not die!" ”

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Pei Shu looked at the county lord of Xiangyi in surprise.

The county lord of Xiangyi stood up violently again, and smashed the apple on the table casually, and she looked at Pei Shu coldly when the juice overflowed, and sneered: "The woman you have in mind killed your father and mother, and you still don't know anything about it in this capital and willingly work for her husband and wife, Pei Shu, you are really the stupidest fool in the world." ”

She stared at Pei Shu, approaching him step by step, forcing him to step back: "I feel sorry for you, and I feel sorry for the first emperor and the first queen." ”

"Shut up!" Pei Shu scolded, "Do you know what the crime of slandering the queen is, she is far away in the capital, how can she kill her father and mother." ”

The county lord of Xiangyi glanced at Pei Shu with disdain: "Do you understand how to borrow a knife to kill people?" ”

She looked at Pei Shu's puzzled look, and chuckled lightly in her heart, what she wanted was such an effect, and sure enough, the fish had already taken the bait, "Why did Concubine Rong put her child in the palace before leaving the palace, everyone thought she was voluntary, but they didn't know that it was a hostage that Shen Jiahe asked to stay in her hands." ”

This is a lie she made up early on the road, she wants to push everything on Shen Jiahe, only in this way can Pei Shu help her take revenge: "She sent Concubine Rong to the palace to assassinate the first emperor and the first queen, if she didn't have a handle in her hand, how could Concubine Rong obediently listen to her." ”

Pei Shu fell into silence, he was skeptical of the words of the county lord of Xiangyi, and after a long time, he spoke: "But there is no reason, why does she have such a great hatred for her father and mother, they have already gone so far away, why should she put people to death?" "It's like asking the county lord of Xiangyi again, and it's like asking yourself again.

The county lord of Xiangyi sneered: "Why? The first queen didn't have much trouble with Shen Jiahe when she was alive, she had long held back a hatred in her heart, and when she agreed to let them go to the palace, it was just a superficial effort, showing that she was generous. ”

What he said seemed to be very reasonable, but Pei Shu still couldn't imagine that Shen Jiahe would be such a ruthless person, and outside Alai looked at the time and shouted inside: "Lord Wang, it's not early, if you don't leave, I'm afraid that you will be late early." ”

Pei Shu looked at the county lord of Xiangyi, and saw that she sat back on the chair again, her face was unclear, and she didn't know how true or false what she said just now.

He thought about it for a while, but still ordered: "Before the king comes back from the early dynasty, you must not act without authorization, otherwise you will not be the emperor, and even the king will not spare you." ”

The county lord of Xiangyi looked at Pei Shu and snorted: "I advise you not to question Shen Jiahe, there are a few murderers who will take the initiative to admit that they killed someone, and besides, she didn't do anything, she just moved her mouth." ”

There was an annoyance that his heart was exposed, Pei Shu glared at the county lord of Xiangyi fiercely, and scolded coldly: "You don't have to worry about this, in short, you give me a good stay in King Kang's mansion." ”

The county lord of Xiangyi lazily went to the beauty couch on the side: "Okay, I'll sleep until you come back early, and then we will discuss the revenge plan." ”

Before getting into the carriage, Pei Shu was still a little uneasy, and instructed Lu Gong to be fair: "The county lord of Xiangyi inside has shown this king, and she must not be allowed to leave the palace, and it is best not to wander around the mansion, so as not to be seen by people with a heart." ”

Gonggong Lu nodded in response, Pei Shu looked up at the palace again, and finally turned around and got into the carriage at the urging of Alai.

In the early dynasty, Pei Yuan brought up the matter of disarmament again, "Now that the country is peaceful and the people are safe, the number of troops is too large, which is a lot of money for the treasury, I intend to prepare for disarmament nearby, I don't know what you Aiqing thinks?" ”

"It's not difficult to disarm, but it's rare how to arrange these soldiers after they are laid off? If they are unable to support their families after they return, I am afraid that it will cause a certain amount of unrest to the society. Shi Xiangjie asked.

Pei Yuan and Pei Hao had also considered this issue when they discussed it before, but they didn't think of a particularly suitable arrangement, so they nodded and asked: "What General Shi said is very true, you Aiqing don't know what you think about the departure or stay of the soldiers after the disarmament, and I will discuss with you and come up with a good plan." ”

Han Ye took the initiative to speak: "Weichen doesn't understand military divisions, but I think that these soldiers have a bit of kung fu, if they can recruit two caretakers, it is more reassuring than a small servant." ”

Shi Xiangjie continued: "This is a method, but the number of disarmaments is so large that it cannot be solved by one or two nursing homes, but if there are ministers who want to find nursing homes from the army, they can say hello to me first, and I will leave you a few good hands." ”

All the ministers laughed, and Pei Yuan also smiled: "This can be regarded as a solution, but do you have any other ideas?" ”

Pei Shu pondered for a moment and proposed: "Most of them are from poor peasant families, so it's better to let them farm." ”

Pei Hao frowned and said, "This proposal is good, but how can the imperial court have idle land to distribute to them?" You have to know that this time there are not ten or eight. ”

"There is a lot of wasteland on the outskirts of Beijing, and the imperial court can first reclaim the wasteland, and then distribute this wasteland to them, and in addition, they can collect a little rent every year, which can be regarded as earning some silver for the treasury." Pei Shu thought for a while and said, "You can also choose how much is appropriate according to the amount of their meritorious service in the barracks, or choose whether to reduce or reduce the rent according to their performance every year." ”

"King Kang's idea is good, which is equivalent to the integration of military and agriculture." Someone agreed.

Pei Yuan also felt that it was feasible, so he nodded and said: "In this case, then do it according to King Kang's idea, I will go to the barracks with General Shi after the end of the early dynasty to implement this matter, and the wasteland on the outskirts of Beijing should also be coordinated as soon as possible, and I will see if there is enough." ”

After getting off the morning court, Pei Shu's heart was very entangled, with Shen Jiahe's clear eyes on one side and the mocking eyes of the county lord of Xiangyi on the other.

He was in a trance, walking forward without a head, and then Pei Yuan behind him said: "King Kang stays." And came back to his senses.

He bowed his head towards Pei Yuan, and Pei Yuan asked, "You put forward the idea of military farming, do you want to go to the barracks with us?" ”

Where did Pei Shu still have the heart to go to the barracks at this time, he still begged Pei Yuan after being entangled for a long time: "Your Majesty, the barracks won't go, Weichen wants to go to the queen's palace and ask about something." ”

Now Pei Shu doesn't have to take precautions like before, not to mention that he is in the palace, he won't mess around, Rao thinks so that after Pei Yuan agreed, he still called Liuyu and ordered: "Take King Kang to see the queen, and after they finish talking about things, then send King Kang to leave safely." "This is what it means to keep Liuyu staring all the time.

When Pei Shu was on the way to Shen Jiahe's palace, Zhenzhen went to Jiuluan Palace as usual, she took the tonic that the Queen Mother wanted to take on time in the morning, and explained to the two palace maids at the door, and then walked in.

The room was still dim, mixed with the strong smell of medicine, just smelling it made the tip of the tongue bitter, Zhenzhen opened the window to let in some fresh air in the house.

After taking a deep breath, he went to lift the layers of curtains and shouted softly to the Queen Mother lying inside: "Queen Mother, it's time for you to get up and take medicine!" ”

After shouting twice, the Queen Mother didn't react, and she didn't even move her eyelids, Zhenzhen looked at the Queen Mother's exposed hands, and stepped forward to help her put it back in the quilt: "The weather is still cold now, you can't be cold." ”

The hand that touched it was cold and cold, even if it was placed outside the quilt overnight, it shouldn't be such a temperature, Zhenzhen's hand shook, and the hand he just picked up fell down with a snap, and the queen mother still didn't react.

She had the courage to cover her mouth with one hand, and to test the Queen Mother's breath with the other hand, and the fingers placed under the Queen Mother's nose trembled, but she still tried to find out that the Queen Mother had lost her breath.

Fortunately, she covered her mouth and didn't scream, but she was still startled, and when she couldn't help but retreat, she accidentally waved her hand and broke the medicine cup on the coffee table.

The palace maid who heard the movement outside immediately pushed the door in and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Zhenzhen forced her composure and replied casually: "The Queen Mother is reluctant to drink the medicine, saying that it is too bitter, and she has to trouble my sister to go to the imperial dining room to get a little candied fruit, which is the kind that the Queen Mother loves to eat, my sister should know." ”

The palace maid said hello, Zhenzhen pricked up her ears and listened carefully to the footsteps little by little, and now there is another person guarding here, Zhenzhen looked at the fragments of the medicine cup at her feet, and her heart was surprisingly calm.

She waited for a long time in the queen mother's bedroom, she remembered the position of all the furnishings clearly, and put a bronze vase on the flower stand at the corner, which was the queen mother's favorite ornament, and every time she told Zhenzhen to wipe it to be able to shine a figure.

She lowered the curtain in front of the queen mother's bed layer by layer, walked to the flower stand, held the vase in her arms, and walked over to the palace maid.

"Isn't this vase quite clean, and the Queen Mother asked you to wipe it again?" The palace maid asked with a smile.

Zhenzhen smiled and nodded, took a step forward and then suddenly turned around, raised the vase, and smashed her head under the frightened eyes of the palace maid.

Looking at the fainting palace maid, Zhenzhen carefully put the vase back in its place, and dragged the palace maid through the layers of curtains to the inner room, changed her clothes and palace cards, and when everything was cleaned up, she lowered her head and walked outside.

I happened to meet the palace maid who had taken the candied fruit and came back, and asked, "You are not watching in front of you, where are you going?" ”

Zhenzhen lowered her head and said in the tone of the palace maid in the past: "The Queen Mother will sleep again, Zhenzhen girl asked me to fetch the incense burner, and my sister's candied fruit will be put in the tea room, and I will eat it when the Queen Mother wakes up." ”

"Why is your voice a little hoarse?" The other party asked suspiciously.

Zhenzhen lowered her head even more: "I choked on the wind just now, mine hurry up, otherwise I will be scolded again when I come back." ”

said without waiting for the other party to answer, rushed to her room, she rummaged through her box, there was not much jewelry left, Zhenzhen put the jewelry on her body one by one, and hid it in her arms if she couldn't wear it, and then she was distressed that these things were waiting out of the palace, I was afraid that it would not be enough for herself.

But when can I go out, I have to find a chance, there are still some things that need to be done before I leave, maybe I can make another profit, Zhenzhen thought so, with a strange look on her face.
