"I can see it!" Lu Qiao smiled, "This Miss Sun is in a hurry, there are no twists and turns, I still like her!"

Mo Ziyu also smiled slightly: "If such a person can appear next to him, he should be able to forget all the things that should be forgotten!"

As soon as Mi Zi was busy, it was directly in the middle of the night, Sun Pingling yawned and said, "It's not early, it's time for the prince to rest." ”

"You go back and rest first. Qi Zi looked intently at the recitals on the table, "I'll go to rest after I finish dealing with these things, these recitals that have just been submitted are very urgent, I must give them approval immediately!"

"Then I'll stay with you. Sun Pingling handed some of the strategies he had written to Mi Zi, and said, "I'll write it casually, you can see if you can use it first, but there should be no problem dealing with my father tomorrow." ”

Mi Zi glanced at it and said with a smile: "Yes, I haven't seen you for many years, it's really impressive, I remember when we read books together, the thing you didn't like the most was to read books, and you often couldn't memorize an article for several days, so angry that your father chased you with a ring ruler!"

"It's all a child, what are you doing with it!" Sun Pingling said a little embarrassed, her eyes rolled slightly, and she asked again, "Shizi, what is your relationship with that Jiang girl?"

Qi Zi was silent for a moment, and replied casually: "Friend." ”

"Friends?" Sun Pingling raised his eyebrows, "Did you meet when you were in Northern Xia? ”

"Hmm. Qi Zi said ambiguously, "Why did you ask about her?"

"I'm curious, I thought you hated the Northern Xia people. Sun Pingling smiled, "But I'm also very pleased that you can make good friends in Northern Xia." I'm sleepy, let's get busy first, I'll go down and rest first!"

"Hmm. Qi Zi nodded.

After Sun Pingling left, Mi Zi looked at the paper she left behind and was stunned for a while, this word was elegant and handsome, completely different from her impression, completely unconsciously, really many things have changed.

Qi Zi has been reviewing the chapter until dawn, and then went non-stop to hold a meeting with the ministers to discuss the advancement of some major matters that came in, and after the discussion, Mrs. Sun left alone to ask him about some recent events, but fortunately, his answer was satisfactory to Mrs. Sun, and he passed the test smoothly.

Even if he is now an adult and is about to become the king of Nanchu, in front of the teacher, he still feels weak and afraid.

There was no time to catch up on sleep, and Mi Zi kept discussing with the county lord of Leyi about the reward of the wealthy family in the south.

"They're going too far. Qi Zi said dissatisfiedly, "It's just to provide some grain and grass, just want to ask me for a knighthood? Those soldiers may not be able to get it when they are born and die! I have taken a step back and promised not to collect Jiangnan's commercial taxes for ten years, their hands are really too long!"

"Shizi, you have to think like this, this title is just a title, those people are blessed, they want to be expensive, give them is, this will not affect anything, and now the treasury is empty, what do you do without silver? You can't do anything without silver! They give money, give them titles that have no real power, kill two birds with one stone! Why not? You are young, when did you become so pedantic?" said the lord of Leyi.

"Today they just want the reputation of the official position without real power, and tomorrow they will need real power to gain an inch, and this buying and selling of officials may be able to fill the treasury, but in the end it is the people who suffer!" Qi Zi said angrily, "And this method of treating the symptoms but not the root cause is also difficult to maintain, if you want to fill the treasury with this, you can only drink to quench your thirst." ”

"Well, this method, if you don't agree, do you have any other good ways to solve the problems you are facing?" Le Yi asked, "Solve the most difficult things first, and then slowly figure out the rest." ”

"I don't have a good idea for the time being, but I won't agree to this one. Qi Zi said, "There must be a good way, let me think about it again." ”

The county lord of Leyi did not continue to force him to continue to discuss this matter, and changed the topic and said: "Let's not mention this matter for the time being, let's talk about it after you ascend the throne." But there is one thing, I am now your only elder, I have to say! That is the problem of your marriage, I let Sun Pingling enter the palace to help you, I think you should also know my intentions, although you now hold the military power, but you have just returned to Nanchu, and you have not yet gained a firm foothold in the court, if you can marry the Sun family at this time, this is the fastest way for you to win the heart of the civil official group. ”

"My father and queen mother just passed away, and I am still in the filial piety period, and I don't want to think about these things. Qi Zi turned around and said, frowning, his expression full of resistance.

"Ordinary people keep filial piety for three years, but the Son of Heaven is different, the Son of Heaven only needs three months. The most important thing for you now is to get married after ascending the throne, and then give birth to an heir to stabilize the hearts of the people. Le Yi said, "Are you dissatisfied with Sun Pingling?" or can't you let go of Miss Jiang?"

After a pause, Lord Le Yi continued: "Actually, I once looked for Miss Jiang alone, with her current reputation in the army, even if you want to make her a concubine, you won't be too strongly opposed, but she doesn't want to." ”

Qi Zi turned around and glanced at the county lord of Leyi, his eyes were a little shocked.

"At that time, Miss Jiang left the barracks, I'm sorry, I misunderstood your relationship. The lord of Leyi said, "We are royal, since the girl is unwilling, you can't force it, although Sun Pingling is not as beautiful as Miss Jiang, but she is bold and generous, and her ability is outstanding, you are definitely a virtuous helper, and you can stabilize the harem for you, so that you can rest assured that you can show your hands and feet in the previous dynasty!"

"It's too early to tell. Qi Zi said, "Let's talk about it later." ”

"If there is anything to be said later, what should be settled, it will be settled. Le Yi said, "Also, all kinds of meritorious officials, the rewards they should have should not be less, and they should not be cold." As for King Pingdong, what are you going to do with it now?"

Qi Zi's eyes narrowed slightly: "Slow." ”

"I understand. Lord Leyi said, "I will let Jing Yao come to Lin Yuan in my name." ”

Although Qi Zi did not agree, he did not object.

"Get some rest, you're too tired. Le Yi patted Mi Zi's shoulder with concern, "Although I am still young, my body is my own, and I still have to take good care of it!"

"Yes, Auntie. ”

Northern Xia, Prince's Mansion.

Autumn Water Garden.

"Your Highness. Cui Ping brought a plate of freshly made dim sum to Liu Xu, "This is hibiscus cake, the girl likes to eat it." ”

"Hmm. Liu Xu nodded lightly, "You step back first, and stay alone in this palace for a while." ”

"Yes, the slave and maid are gone. ”

Cui Ping retreated lightly, and a few maids outside were cleaning, and when they saw her come out, they all stepped forward and whispered, "Did Your Highness say when the girl will come back?"

"Nope. Cui Ping shook his head, "Don't get together, it's not good for people to see it, why should you go." ”

Although the girl is no longer here, because His Royal Highness often comes to Qiushuiyuan, the third lady and the prince also take care of it, so the life of the people in Qiushuiyuan is not sad.

But Cui Ping still complained, complaining that the girl left like this, why did the girl only take Lu Qiao away and not take her away?

Mama Cui looked at Cui Ping sitting at the kitchen door, stepped forward and asked, "How did you think about what you told you yesterday?"

"I'm not married, I'm going to wait for the girl to come back. Cui Ping said.

"Are you stupid!" Cui Mama poked her head, "The girl is gone, and she won't come back!" The people outside don't know what's going on, can we still not know? The other party has good conditions, and he is still a showman, if he wins the Jinshi in the future, you will be happy, where can you find such a good thing?"

"I want to marry you, anyway, I'm going to wait for the girl. Cui Ping said, "His Royal Highness often comes to Qiushui Garden, Qiushui Garden is the same as before, the girl will definitely come back!"

"Stubborn as a donkey!" Cui's grandmother sighed.

Liu Xu ate a few bites of pastries, sat in Qiushui Garden for a while and left.

At this time, Qing Yueyu reported: "Mi Zi ascended the throne on the 13th, and we have to send envoys over, one is to congratulate him on his accession to the throne, and the other is to negotiate and let the city go, Your Majesty means that this matter will be arranged by His Royal Highness." ”

"Where is Concubine Jiang now?" Liu Xu asked after a pause.

Qing Yue paused a little and said, "In the palace of the King of Southern Chu." ”

"In the palace?" Liu Xu frowned at first, and then sneered, it seems that after she left Beixia, she lived a wonderful life, first in the barracks for the wounded soldiers, and then saved Mi Zi's life, and also solved the case of Lin Qian's assassination, and later saved Mi Zi in the hands of King Pingdong, her ability is not small, it turns out that she has always underestimated her before?

No wonder, she is the daughter of the Mo family, how can there be ordinary people in the Mo family?

"...... Zizi," Liu Xu paused and said, "I didn't expect him to be able to defeat King Yu Nan in a short period of time, especially when so many people are not of the same mind as him, he is really impressive...... I'll go for myself. ”

Qing Yue was taken aback: "Your Highness wants to go to Nanchu in person? Your Highness now has the responsibility of assisting the country, so it's not good to leave? Also, now that the territory of Southern Chu is not peaceful, what if there is any danger in your Highness?"

"It's just something you should think about. Liu Xu said boldly, "This matter is so decided." ”
