"Me?" Xue Jinyi was a little curious, "General Zhuo wants to see me, what is the matter?" ”

General Zhuo opened his mouth without any hesitation and said, "Today's investigation by the Dragon Wu Army. ”

Xue Jinyi was blind and surprised, she didn't expect Zhuo Shen to come to her so actively to talk about it.

Women's participation in politics is not common in this feudal era, but it is not nothing, there was the eldest princess to assist the emperor and sit firmly on the dragon chair.

She knew in her heart, "Is it the emperor's meaning?" ”

"Yes," Zhuo Shen arched his hand in the direction of the palace, "When the emperor summoned him this morning, he told the lower officials." However, Xia Guan also believed that since His Royal Highness the King of Chu was recuperating from his illness, such important matters should be transferred to the Princess of Chu, so as not to delay the follow-up arrangements. ”

He was the general of the Long Wu Army, Xue Jinyi said modestly: "Thanks to the emperor's trust, I am a little ashamed, and I ask General Zhuo for more advice." ”

"The lower officials don't dare." Zhuo Shen owes a debt, "Princess, according to the instructions of His Royal Highness the King of Chu, the lower officials arranged reliable manpower to secretly investigate beggars and idlers in the south of the city, and recorded them in detail one by one. ”

As he spoke, he took out a book from his arms and handed it to Xue Jinyi with both hands.

"This is a part, please Princess Chu take a look."

Xue Jinyi took it and opened it to see, "What kind of people are they?" ”

Zhuo Shen said: "This part of the people have been scattered in the abandoned houses in the south of the city for a long time, forming gangs and fighting each other, local to the capital, or from other villages, the family is in the middle of the road, or the accident caused the family to be ruined and reduced to beggars, there are also lazy to do, and would rather beg along the street, but there are also those who are simple and evildoers, using the identity of beggars as a cover, stealing and robbing." ”

Xue Jinyi flipped through the two pages, and as Zhuo Shen said, everyone had as detailed a record as possible, "It's really detailed, how did you find it?" ”

"A few people disguised themselves as newcomers, a few words of doglegs, coaxing people happy, those individuals love to brag and gossip, so they all said it all at once."

Xue Jinyi smiled and nodded, "Good way." ”

Zhuo Shen said: "The small skills of carving insects, why worry about it." ”

"Zhuo Jianjun is too modest." Xue Jinyi turned two more pages, "Are there any abnormalities with these people?" ”

Zhuo Shen said: "It has not been found yet. ”

Xue Jinyi said: "Continue to investigate secretly, if there is a slight abnormality, report it in time." ”

"Yes!" Zhuo Shen clenched his fists.

"Is there any news from the Gyeonggi prefectures and counties at present?"

"Not yet."

Xue Jinyi said: "Then wait for the news first." She lowered her head and continued to read the book.

Zhuo Shen didn't move, as if he had something to say, but he was hesitating.

In the flower hall, it was very quiet for a while, only the small "bang" sound made by Xue Jinyi turning the pages of the book.

After a while, Xue Jinyi spoke again: "Does General Zhuo want to know what happened inside and outside the South City Gate last night?" ”

Zhuo Shen nodded without any hesitation, "Yes, princess." ”

Xue Jinyi said: "Previously, I sent someone to follow the remnants of the former dynasty who fled from the capital, and then the king of Chu and I accidentally discovered an abnormality on the city wall, and deduced that there should be a mystery under the city wall, and it is expected that they will try their best to enter the city from the south and continue to lurk in the capital to plot evil." ”

Zhuo Shen looked like a child hungry for knowledge, and he was deeply interested in what Xue Jinyi said.

Xue Jinyi didn't sell Guanzi either, and told Zhuo Shen everything she could say.

After listening to this, Zhuo Shen nodded slowly, "These people are extremely cunning, it seems that it will take a lot of time and energy to completely exterminate the remnants of the previous dynasty. ”

"Is General Zhuo afraid of trouble?" Xue Jinyi asked with a smile.

Zhuo Shen arched his hand, "The lower officials have the trust of the emperor and His Royal Highness the King of Chu, and they must do their best to exterminate the remnants of the previous dynasty, so that the emperor can rest assured, let the king of Chu have a solid foundation, and let the people be peaceful." ”

"So, what does General Zhuo want?" Xue Jinyi asked bluntly.

Zhuo Shen said: "Naturally, I want the Zhuo family to be safe and stable, always peaceful, and there is no treachery." ”

"Okay," Xue Jinyi clapped her hands slowly, "Then let's work together to create a better future." ”

Zhuo Shen stood up and saluted very respectfully and solemnly, "Yes, Princess Chu." ”

Xue Jinyi poured two cups of tea, "Replace wine with tea." ”

Zhuo Shen respectfully picked up the teacup, and after touching Xue Jinyi gently, the two of them drank the tea at the same time.

What should be said has been said, and Zhuo Shen left to retire.

Xue Jinyi returned to the wing, and Qinglan asked someone to bring a small box.

"These are all compiled by Qingzhi, Jing Xuan's account books, documents and drawings." She smiled: "Qingzhi said, the princess will definitely want to use these things." ”

Xue Jinyi picked up her artwork notebook, "Qingzhi really understands my mind. ”

"What about me?" Qinglan leaned over and winked at her.

"So are you." Xue Jinyi gently scratched her nose.

Although it was hot in the wing, it did not prevent Xue Jinyi from doing things. While continuing her previous work, she took care of Pu Yangxuan regularly, and the day passed in the blink of an eye.

During dinner in the evening, Xue Jinyi saw Dr. Zhu walking with a book in his hand.

"Doctor Zhu be careful, I'm going to hit the pillar!"

Doctor Zhu was so focused that he didn't notice Xue Jinyi's shouting at all, but his head hit the pillar and raised his head a little confused, "What's wrong, what's wrong?" ”

Qinglan stepped forward to support him and joked, "Doctor Zhu, isn't there anything mysterious in this book?" ”

Doctor Zhu held the book like a baby, "Of course there is!" ”

"What, what!" Qinglan asked excitedly, "Have you found a cure for His Royal Highness the King of Chu's old illness?" ”

Xue Jinyi's heart lifted.

Doctor Zhu smiled bitterly at Xue Jinyi and said, "I haven't found it yet." ”

"Ahh ”

"This medical book has been lost for many years," Dr. Zhu caressed the cover of the book, "I didn't expect it to be hidden in the palace, and I have no regrets in my life to be able to read this masterpiece!" However, Miss Qinglan, don't worry, maybe I can find a way from it? ”

Xue Jinyi said: "What is this book about? ”

Doctor Zhu said: "Among the medical techniques handed down from generation to generation, the use of various medicinal materials and poisons, as well as the medical methods of various diseases, are recorded in detail. But the world is so big, how many strange medicinal materials, poisons, and incurable diseases are there? ”

Xue Jinyi said: "So, the records in this book are more detailed? ”

"Yes." Doctor Zhu nodded, "Not only that, but there are also some simpler treatments for common diseases. There is a part of the content that will also help the princess's business. ”

Xue Jinyi smiled faintly, "That's really good." ”

Doctor Zhu said again: "Princess Chu doesn't have to be too disappointed, I haven't finished reading this book, maybe I can find a cure, or find any clues from it?" ”
