(The New Year is coming, Dazhang thanks the book friends for their support!) Happy New Year! ）

After getting the news, Huang Xi immediately went to Shujing Palace. Since beating the Anchu King Shizhong outstanding palace, Shujing Palace is much colder, Huang Shufei every day does not release the volume, quietly reading, only when the King of Anchu enters the palace, Shujing Palace has more laughter.

Huang Xi told Huang Shufei the news that she was going to Zhenbei camp in three days, Huang Shufei put down the scroll in her hand, looked at Huang Xi, and said coldly: "But this palace has blocked your future, you want to rush out of the palace to get a reward?" ”

The palace maids standing in the palace are all Huang Shufei's cronies, Huang Xi doesn't have to avoid taboos, "plop" and knelt down, and said with tears in her eyes: "Niangniang has the grace to save her life for the slave, and the slave can't repay it even if she is broken, how can the slave do something that ignores kindness." It's just that the little master is getting bigger, and there is not much help from the court, so the slave is willing to work hard outside the Saiwai, if he can make a contribution to the blessing of Niangniang and the little master, he can also add some help to the little master in the future. ”

Concubine Huang Shufei was deeply moved, stretched out her hand to help Huang Xi, and said, "Huang Xi, this palace is wrong to blame you, you get up and speak." ”

After a long time, Huang Xi stepped out of Shujing Palace, stood in the corridor outside the palace, and looked up at the sky. The sky is cut into small squares by buildings, and people are in the palace like birds in cages. A smile appeared on the corner of Huang Xi's mouth, he had been trapped in the cage for nearly ten years, and he finally had the opportunity to get out of the cage. Trapped in the cage is the canary, soaring in the blue sky is the eagle, the northern desert is fierce, it is the eagle where the eagle spreads its wings, only to fight out the steel teeth and iron claws to deal with their own enemies, in order to avenge their father and family.

In the evening, Shi Fangzhen came to Kun'an Palace, the Son of Heaven and the queen and his wife were deeply in love, and there was a half-moon stay at the queen's place in January. The food of the Son of Heaven and Niangniang is very simple, two meats, two vegetables and one soup, five locks of shredded chicken, yellow stewed mutton, fried vegetables, steamed taro and radish bone broth, ordinary wealthy families will not eat so frugally, but Shi Fangzhen and Queen Wang eat with relish.

Queen Wang served a bowl of soup for Shi Fangzhen, handed it over and said, "Autumn is dry, you had a cough last night, eat more radish soup." By the way, I asked the imperial doctor during the day, and the imperial doctor said that pears have the effect of moistening the lungs, and there are many pears in the honey fruits from Huazhou, so I will eat a bowl at night. ”

Shi Fangzhen drank the soup in the bowl in one gulp and said, "You can have radish soup, no honey fruit." I heard An Shou say that Wei Yishen had a bad cough, and you asked someone to give him some pears and honey fruits. ”

Queen Wang smiled: "An Shou came this morning, and I already asked her to bring fifty cans when she left." Fang Zhen, it's not me talking about you, you are too thrifty, this honey fruit is a tribute from Huazhou, Huazhou fruit is cheap, you let Jiang Anyi eat more, why save your own food, Jiang Anyi is a rich man, you don't have to worry about eating poor him. ”

Taking the towel handed over by the palace maid, Shi Fangzhen wiped his mouth and said with a smile: "Jiang Anyi is indeed a rich man, not only is he rich, but Huazhou has also become rich after arriving in Huazhou. I heard a report from the Ministry of Household Affairs today that Huazhou's commercial tax alone will break 4 million this year, and it has only been less than two years, and Huazhou's tax has doubled. ”

"That's also the result of your discernment." Queen Wang smiled and said.

Shi Fangzhen laughed happily and said, "After the implementation of the 'combined taxes into one', the taxes of each state have increased, and it should not be difficult to raise silver taels for the northern army. Huazhou Tuntian has achieved results, this year's summer harvest will get 400,000 stones, Huazhou no longer has the worry of famine, not only that, Tuntian Yamen's grain can also supply Anxi Duhufu. It seems that the government of Tuntian is feasible, and I should implement it in the border towns and states in due course. ”

Queen Wang looked at her husband with a smile, her eyes were full of admiration, and the thoughtful Shi Fangzhen was always majestic and chic in her heart, and her heart was moved.

"I am a great Zheng country rich and strong, civil and military intentions, it is a good opportunity for the Northern Expedition, I must fulfill the last wish of my ancestors, open up the territory, and pacify the Northern Desert." Shi Fangzhen waved his hands excitedly, his eyes flashed, and he said excitedly: "I want to drive the expedition in person and reproduce the martial arts of Gaozu." ”

Queen Wang was both happy and worried, waited for a while, and persuaded tactfully: "Long live, the sword and gun have no eyes, what if you go to the battlefield in person, what if there is a mistake?" Besides, fighting a war is an opportunity for soldiers to use their lives, so you can't go and kill them yourself. And Beijing can't do without you, don't you mess up the politics of the DPRK and China when you leave. ”

"Eh, isn't there a Wei'er in Beijing after I go north? The crown prince is in charge of the country and it is conducive to him to take over the throne in the future, I will leave Chen Xiang in the capital, he is an old man who seeks the country, and Wei'er is young and wants someone like Chen Xiang to assist. Among the six Shangshu, I will only take Yu Zhijie with me, and most of the other civil and military ministers will also stay in Beijing, so you don't need to worry. Shi Fangzhen gently held his wife's hand and said with a smile: "You are there in the capital, you can't take care of Wei'er's faults, you should be scolded, you must know how many failures your mother has, you must know in your heart." I'm not in the palace, let An Shou enter the palace to accompany you more, and discipline Wei'er for you, Wei'er has been afraid of her sister since she was a child, and Wei'er didn't dare not listen to her words. ”

Queen Wang was faintly uneasy in her heart, during this time, the Son of Heaven was focused on the Northern Expedition, and he cared less about the prince, she vaguely heard that Wei'er was lazy in fun, and she was lenient in the silver taels, and Wei'er spent money lavishly. Chongwen Pavilion Straight Bachelor Zhou Cunchu and others greeted the prince's favor, and in the name of study tours, they took Wei'er to tour the mountains and rivers; A few times I went to the East Palace, and found that there were more beautiful women in the palace, and asked Wei'er that it was a maid offered by the courtiers, Wei'er was already fifteen years old, and it was time to find him a princess next year.

Shi Fangzhen didn't notice the queen's crankiness, he was immersed in his own grand cause, and said endlessly: "When I ascended the throne, most of them were old ministers left by my father, and most of them were children of the family. In the past 16 years, I have tried my best to suppress the influence of the family's forces on the government, Liu Xinming retired, the Li family was poor, Wei Yishen was old, Lu Jialin was dying, and the power of the family in the court has been greatly weakened. ”

Queen Wang was a little uncomfortable, and the Wang family was also one of the families, and she was also suppressed by the Son of Heaven. Wang Keming, the Duke of Shenguo, lived idle for a long time, his fifth brother Wang Kefu was reprimanded and almost lost his official position, and the promotion of many Wang clansmen was suppressed, all of which came from her husband's plan to suppress the family. However, if you marry your husband, you must firmly stand on your husband's side, and for your mother's family, you can help if you can, and you must not go against the will of the Son of Heaven.

"I reused middle-aged newcomers such as Yu Zhijie and Duan Cizong, and boldly used young people such as Jiang Anyi, Wei Youcheng, Zhu Yifeng, and Zhang Yucheng. Yu Zhijie's tax this year will reach 36 million taels, which is twice as much as his father's reign, and the summer harvest in each state has passed, and the statistics of grain have exceeded 10 million stones, which is enough for ten years. The more Shi Fangzhen spoke, the more excited he became, grabbed the teacup at hand, and drank it all.

The queen got up and bowed down, and said in a coquettish voice: "Long live the concubines, Wen Cheng Wude, thousands of years, and praise the holy name." ”

When the palace maids and eunuchs standing in the palace saw the queen kneeling, they all knelt on the ground and shouted in unison: "Long live, long live, long live." ”

Shi Fangzhen laughed heartily, got up to help Queen Wang, and said to the palace man who was kneeling on the ground: "Get up." You serve with all your heart, and I will not do you any wrong. ”

The palace people stood up. Queen Wang was a little surprised, the Son of Heaven was more strict with the palace people on weekdays, and rarely had such a pleasant face.

After sitting down again, Shi Fangzhen explained: "Today, in the imperial study, Feng Zhong mentioned to me that the secret guard suppressed Huang Xi and was willing to lead the spy to serve in the army. Dengzhou is bitterly cold, and the military camp is even more difficult, and the spy personnel have to go deep into the Northern Desert to spy on the news, and in an instant of life and death, this Huang Xi can not be afraid of difficulties and be loyal to the king, I am really a little moved. These eunuchs and palace maids who have been sentenced to prison are not inferior to the courtiers in their loyalty to me. ”

"All the subjects of the world are loyal to long live", said the queen and queen, but she muttered in her heart. Who is Huang Xi, Queen Wang is clear, this person is Huang Shufei's henchman, is the enlightenment teacher of King Anchu, to put it bluntly, he is a dog of Huang Shufei, under the guidance of this Huang Xi, Shi Chongjie has attracted the attention of the Son of Heaven, and now he is going to serve in the northern camp of Dengzhou Town, and it is clear that he wants to fight for Huang Shufei's mother and son.

A sneer appeared at the corner of Queen Wang's mouth, the harem was tightly controlled by her, and Concubine Huang Shu could only sit honestly in the palace and read books every day; King Anchu has regulations on food and clothing outside the palace, and the Huang family's money for King Anchu is pitiful, and he heard that he has to run to the palace if he wants to eat canned honey fruits, which is really pitiful, what can he fight with Wei'er.

However, this Huang Xi is a scourge after all, what can I think of to make him die in the Northern Desert, Queen Wang rolled her eyes and thought of an idea. Cousin Wang Keming is the marshal of the camp in the north of the town, if he is willing to help, Huang Xi will not survive for a hundred lives, but his cousin is a square man, and he will never help with this favor, and others can't do anything with the suppression of the secret guard.

Shi Fangzhen didn't know what his wife was thinking about, and asked: "Why haven't I seen Wei'er enter the palace recently, I haven't asked about his studies for a while, I don't know what he is studying now?" ”

Queen Wang replied with some panic: "I heard Wei'er say that he often goes out of the palace to observe the people's feelings, and several straight bachelors in Chongwen Hall often take Wei'er to study tours, saying that 'it is better to read ten thousand books than to travel ten thousand miles', Wei'er said that he and the top three last year have all been together to chant poetry and literature, and they are very impressed by Wei'er's talent." ”

"The practice of several straight bachelors is very good, as a prince, you can't be trapped in the palace, you have to walk around to know the people's suffering, and you will be sympathetic to the people's feelings in the future.

Shi Fangzhen was full of remembrance and remembrance, and muttered: "I remember that my teacher at that time was Fan Yanzhong, this old man was short-tempered, even if I made a mistake, I would inevitably hit my palms with a ring ruler. When I first ascended the throne, he said that my reforms would make 'the people's livelihood embarrassed', and that I should 'abstain from extravagance and frugality, abstain from haste and patience, and slowly try to do it'. Now that I think about it again, every sentence Fan Yanzhong said is a golden and jade good word, in the first few years of my reign, everything was hit, and it was a mistake in the word 'urgent'. ”

"After Mr. Fan became a scholar, he not only wrote the book "The Words of Yunshuitan", but also cultivated a national scholar for me, which is really indispensable. When Jiang Anyi was in Fuluo County, I heard that he had gone to Huangyang Academy to write the motto of 'Gewu, Zhizhi, Sincerity, Righteousness, Self-cultivation, Family, Governance, and Peace'. Jiang Anyi is still my junior, he has a reputation for poetry and incomparable poetry in Shilin, and my face as a senior also has a light. Shi Fangzhen said, "Hehe" and laughed.

Queen Wang quipped: "The poem of Long Live is also well written, the sentence written to the concubine back then, 'Married as husband and wife, there is no doubt about love.'" Life should come back, death should be Sauvignon Blanc' moved the concubine's body, if long live is not bothered by state affairs, but like Jiang Anyi, he will not let him specialize in beauty. ”

Shi Fangzhen let out another burst of hearty laughter and said, "My wife is beautiful, and I am private, but I am still very happy." When you wrote this poem, you were just pregnant with An Shou, and An Shou had a child for a while, alas, time flies, and you and I will be old in a flash. ”

"Long live why do you say this, you are in the prime of spring and autumn, and your concubine body will be by your side for thousands of years." The queen said hurriedly, her eyes foggy.

Shi Fangzhen shook his head and didn't argue, and sighed: "Life is rare and rare, even if Mr. Fan is old this year, I don't know if my body is still healthy?" ”

Queen Wang said with a smile: "Long live since you are worried about Master Fan, you might as well send an envoy to comfort you, give a staff and a gift of money to fulfill the righteousness of the teachers and students of the year, and let the scholars of the world know the heart of long live respecting teachers and valuing education." ”

"Zitong's words won my heart."

The night was dark, Shi Fangzhen had already fallen asleep on the dragon couch, but Queen Wang couldn't fall asleep tossing and turning on the side, the prince's recent actions and Huang Xi's departure from the palace made her feel uneasy and difficult to sleep. The red candle reflected the redness of the Luo pin account, and the brocade in the tent was pressed so that she was a little out of breath.

The Son of Heaven mentioned Fan Fuzi and lamented that good teachers are rare, and there is also a lack of good teachers around Wei'er. Originally, Jiang Anyi was the most suitable candidate, but this person was a talented countryman, and he was specially used to teach Wei'er that he was a little overkill, and now that he was doing well in Huazhou, it was impossible to transfer him back to Beijing. When he was in Fuluo County, Jiang Anyi would also send some diaries to introduce the local customs and customs, talk about the people's suffering, increase Wei'er's knowledge, and even her husband praised him for his good intentions. But after arriving in Huazhou, the government affairs were complicated, and there was no private message to Wei'er for a long time.

Wei Er's Zhou Chucun and others around him, there are talents, but it is a pity that he blindly wants to please Wei Er, and seeing that Wei Er likes folk anecdotes, he compiled a book of "Night Gossip" to relieve Wei Er's boredom, and then those literati wrote what "Empty Zhai Listening to the Rain", "Nomura Fox Talk" and other messy books to confuse the prince, and after her husband knew about it, she severely punished a few before she stopped this unhealthy trend.

Wei'er is young, and there are a lot of beauties in the East Palace, so Wei'er can't be allowed to indulge in beauty and fun, otherwise the Son of Heaven will be disgusted and replace the prince, then everything will be over. Huang Shufei's cold smile flashed in her mind, and Queen Wang sat up in shock, breaking out in a cold sweat.

Under the service of the palace maid, the queen changed her obscene clothes again, and the queen returned to the bed, leaning on the head of the bed and thinking about her thoughts, while the matter was still to be cleaned up, she went to the East Palace tomorrow, drove those foxes out of the palace, and demolished those messy places for fun, so that Wei'er could study at ease during this time, and did not allow Zhou Chucun and others to take him around again.

Long live what she said is right, a loving mother has many defeated children, for the sake of Wei'er's future, he can't be soft, and he must tighten Wei'er's use, so that he can spend money everywhere; Jiang Anyi and Zhang Yucheng are not in Beijing, especially Zhang Yucheng is an old man, and he has repeatedly persuaded Wei'er that he wants to let Banzai choose two more such people by Wei'er's side.

The Son of Heaven has repeatedly mentioned that Jiang Anyi is a national scholar, and such a person will be Wei'er's help in the future, and he will firmly bind him to the prince's side. But the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, what should I do to win over Jiang Anyi? You can't give the right, you can't give the money, you still rely on other people's perfume stocks, and it's not appropriate to get married.

Suddenly, Queen Wang's thoughts returned to the word marriage. She heard the Son of Heaven tell one thing, when the prince of the Northern Desert Liman entered Beijing to ask for marriage, in order to avoid An Shouyuan marrying the Northern Desert, the Son of Heaven ordered the kings to select and send the county lord of the right age to Beijing, and the daughter of the King of Anyang who was selected by Prince Liman was escorted into Beijing by Jiang Anyi, and at that time the Li family had two daughters who followed Jiang Anyi into Beijing together.

Nephew Wang Zhizhi had a dispute with Jiang Anyi because of this, and was slapped by Jiang Anyi, he wanted to be angry for his nephew, but he was reprimanded by the Son of Heaven, and the fifth brother and nephew also hated the Son of Heaven because of this incident, and they are still remembered by the Son of Heaven in their hearts, I am afraid that it will be difficult to improve again. What are the names of the two women, Queen Wang frowned and thought for a long time, only remembering that one of them was the niece of Li Mingxing, the imperial servant Siqing, and the other was an ordinary member of the Li family. It's strange to say that the ordinary clansman married Jiang Anyi as a concubine, and Li Mingxing's niece went out of Beijing with hatred.

Queen Wang remembered that the third sister-in-law had mentioned to herself when she went to the palace a few days ago, Li Mingxing's niece returned home and discussed with someone, but her husband died without waiting for the door, and then disappeared, and recently came out to say that she was going to marry Jiang Anyi again, and the Li family hated Jiang Anyi for forcing Li Shiyou to death when he was in Renzhou Qingtian, and put forward a lot of conditions, and I heard that the matter was shelved again.

The corners of the queen's mouth showed a smile, she can't interfere in the major affairs of the court, and the wedding and funeral are exactly what she, the mother of the world, should take care of. If he can promote this family business, he can not only make Jiang Anyi grateful to Dade and firmly stand on the side of the prince, but also bring the Li family closer to the Li family, so that the Li family and the Wang family have a close relationship, which is really a good plan to kill two birds with one stone, and even Banzai will be happy to see it come true.

At noon the next day, Li Mingxing returned home, and the sedan chair fell in front of the house. The butler stepped forward to lift the sedan curtain, and told him in a low voice, "The father-in-law of the palace road is here, saying that he is looking for you for something." ”

Li Mingxing was taken aback and asked rhetorically: "Father-in-law Lu, which father-in-law Lu?" ”

The palace eunuch Lu Mingli, one of the four major internal eunuchs, came forward to pass on the decree, which was an earth-shattering event. There are not many things to ask Lu Mingli to come forward to pass the decree, he has a group of little eunuchs, many people think of him as a godfather, follow his surname Lu, all the Beijing has a saying that "the big road is shocking, and the small road is facing the side".

"It's Lu Jing Lu's father-in-law." Lu Jing is also Lu Mingli's godson, but among the many godsons, this Lu Jing Lu's father-in-law is still a bit heavy.

Li Mingxing walked inside and asked, "Did Grandpa Lu say anything?" ”

"I didn't say anything, I just said that it was a good thing, and now I'm waiting for you in the outer study." The butler said respectfully.

Hearing that it was a good thing, Li Mingxing's heart was a lot more settled, in recent years, the Li family has had a lot of mildew, and when he heard that someone from the palace was coming, he felt a little frightened. Li Mingxing was originally Sinong Siqing, and later changed to Taifu Siqing, all of whom were one of the six departments and nine qing, and he was a well-known figure in the capital, and he was beaten by the Son of Heaven and became a frightened bird.

Seeing Li Mingxing stepping into the study, Lu Jinglu's father-in-law, who was sitting and drinking tea, stood up with a smile, and said respectfully: "Our family has seen Master Li, please say hello to you." ”

Li Mingxing didn't dare to slack off, stepped forward to hold Lu Jing's hand and said, "Father-in-law Lu is too polite, Li can't afford it, please sit down." ”

After chatting a few words, Lu Jing made his intentions clear, "Our family is on the orders of the queen mother this time, and there is something to discuss with Lord Li." ”

Li Mingxing was stunned, Queen Wang, she had never dealt with her, how could she send someone to see her.

"The queen mother heard that Master Li has a niece who is both talented and beautiful, and she has not yet been allowed to match others, so she intends to be a matchmaker for her." Lu Jing said with a smile.

Niece? Li Mingxing quickly went through his unmarried niece in his heart, Mingyi had left the capital, and the family members were paid, and there was no niece of the right age in Beijing. There are quite a few people in the Li family, and there are as many as five or six that can be remembered, I don't know which one the queen is referring to?

Li Mingxing was suspicious in his heart, and said with a smile on his face: "Thank you for your care for Weichen, but I don't know which niece of Li is favored by Niangniang, and which family is she married?" ”

"It's the one who went to Beijing with Jiang Zhuangyuan at the beginning."

Li Mingxing exclaimed: "Tong'er? ”

The thought in his heart is turning, strictly speaking, Tong'er has already been considered to be married, how can remarrying alarm the mother, and at present, Tong'er is discussing marriage with Jiang Anyi, and the dowry has been received, but Jiang Anyi refuses to let Tong'er live above Dong'er, and the matter is temporarily detained, forcing Jiang Anyi to make concessions.

"This?" Li Mingxing's face showed embarrassment, and said: "Don't hide it from my father-in-law, the cheap niece mentioned by Niangniang has already been married, and she is talking about marriage with someone recently. ”

When Lu Jing came, Queen Wang explained clearly, she was clear about Tong'er's past, and she also knew that the object of Tong'er's marriage was exactly the object of her mother's marriage, so after he was rejected, he was still smiling, took a sip of tea unhurriedly, and said: "Good tea, this manna tea soup is yellow and green, and it is fragrant to drink, good tea." ”

Li Mingxing said with a smile: "This is a gift from Li's friend, it seems that my father-in-law is also a good tea person, come and give half of the nectar tea to my father-in-law." ”

Lu Jing smiled and said nothing, and Li Mingxing sat upright and tasted tea. The effort was not big, the housekeeper smiled and brought a bag of tea, put it on the table, ordered a tea bag and said, "Father-in-law, this tea is not easy to come by, please drink it at home." Lu Jing smiled even more and said, "There is a housekeeper, thank you Lord Li for your kindness, but our family is disrespectful." ”

"Master Li, Miss Tong'er's mother knows about it, and she knows the affection between her and Jiang Zhuangyuan, and she intends to fulfill it, so she specially ordered me to marry Jiang Anyi and Miss Tong'er." Lu Jing accepted the tea bag and understood that there was a silver ticket in the tea bag, so he was satisfied to uncover the mystery.

Li Mingxing stood up in shock and asked, "Niangniang gave Tong'er to Jiang Anyi in marriage?" ”

"Yes, Niangniang and Feng Tong'er girl are pleasant, and a set of headdresses is given, and the auspicious day is chosen, and Jiang Anyi is married as soon as possible, and I hope that a lover will eventually become a family."

Li Mingxing bowed to the ground and said, "The ministers are grateful!" ”
