Shi Shi was not an assertive person in the first place, although he felt that it was shameful to use his own woman to serve others, but Zhang Bao's words were irrefutable. The pen %fun %pavilion www.biquge.info Shi Shi's heart couldn't help but be a little moved.

"The stakes are high, and this king needs to think carefully." Shi Shi glanced at Zhang Bao.

"My subordinates understand, it's better for Your Highness to think about it." Zhang Bao glanced at Shi Shi's embarrassed look, and knew that Shi Shi was not unmoved, but he just needed time to think about it.

"Lord Zhang is really resourceful and thoughtful for His Highness." A voice suddenly came from the doorway.

Zhang Bao was shocked, and when he looked back, it was Lord Liang who spoke.

"Concubine Ai......" Shi Shi raised his head and looked at Lord Liang with some shame.

Lord Liang's face was calm and he walked in calmly. Although Zhang Bao put forward this idea, he actually didn't want Lord Liang to know that the idea was his idea, after all, this was not a glorious thing, if Lord Liang hated him because of this, I am afraid that Zhang Bao's life in the future would not be much better.

But if King Yan personally went to tell Lord Liang about this matter, this wicked man might not need Zhang Bao to do it. Three Gangs and Five Constants, the husband is the wife, if the Lord of Liang County is resentful in the future, he can only blame King Yan.

It's just that what Zhang Bao didn't expect was that the conversation between him and King Yan just now was heard by the Liang County Lord, this Liang Zi, I am afraid that he has formed a relationship with the Liang County Lord.

"Lord Zhang, you should step back first, the lord of this county has something to discuss with His Royal Highness." Lord Liang glanced at Zhang Bao coldly and said.

Zhang Bao nodded silently, saluted the two respectfully, and then retreated.

Shi Shi was a little shy of Lord Liang's eyes, and didn't dare to look at it directly, so he asked weakly: "What does Concubine Ai want to discuss with this king?" ”

Lord Liang walked to Shi Shi's side, sat down, and asked, "Your Highness, the concubine has been married to the Yan Wangfu for all these years, and she has been married to her husband and children, but what has you done to make Your Highness dissatisfied?" ”

"No......" Shi Shi replied in a low voice.

"The concubines have been taking care of the Yan Wangfu all these years, no matter how big or small, is there anything that makes His Highness dissatisfied?"

"There is no ......" Shi Shi's voice became smaller and smaller, and he didn't dare to look up at Lord Liang.

"The concubines have been serving His Highness in the bed tent all these years, but is there anything that makes His Highness dissatisfied?" Lord Liang's voice was still as calm as water.

Shi Shi grabbed Lord Liang's hand very uneasily, and said with a guilty face: "Concubine Ai, don't say it!" This king doesn't really want to do that! ”

"But His Highness is hesitating, isn't hesitating?" Lord Liang asked rhetorically.

"This king has no ......" Although Shi Shi didn't dare to admit it, he was so weak that he didn't dare to look at Lord Liang.

"Your Highness is not without such a plan, what is lacking now is just determination, I have been married to His Highness for seven years, how can I not understand His Highness's thoughts?"

As he spoke, Lord Liang stood up, walked to the window, leaned against the window, looked at a few slick trees in the courtyard outside, was silent for a long time, and said, "Your Highness, what if you tell me the truth?" ”

"Ai Concubine, this king really doesn't want to do this, but Lao Jiu regards this king as a thorn in the flesh, this king originally didn't want to compete with him for this throne, but if he is called the emperor, how can he let go of the people in Yan Wangfu? This king is also forced to do so! ”

Lord Liang walked in front of Shi Shi and sat down, looked at him face to face, and said, "For the sake of His Royal Highness's storage position, the concubine is willing to do what Zhang Bao just thought." ”

"What? You ......" Shi Shi couldn't believe his ears.

"The concubine only needs a promise from His Highness." Lord Liang interrupted Shi Shi's words and said calmly.

"What...... What promises? Shi Shi asked.

"First of all, Your Highness must remember that the concubine is not a water-based poplar flower in this way, and she is debauched by nature, do you understand, Your Highness?"

"This king knows......" Shi Shi nodded in a panic.

"Secondly, the concubine wants His Highness to make a promise, and hopes that His Highness will write down this promise and give it to the concubine." Lord Liang said calmly.

"Ai Concubine, what promise? Don't say it's one promise, even if it's ten promises, as long as this king can do it, he can promise you! Shi Shi swore and said.

"Okay, since His Royal Highness said so, then the concubine will ask His Highness for two promises......" Lord Liang said, glancing at Shi Shi, Shi Shi was waiting for her to say the conditions with his ears pricked up, so Lord Liang continued: "First, if you are called emperor, you will crown me Liang as the queen, and you will never be deposed." Second, when you are called emperor, you must make my son the crown prince, and you must pass it on to him in the future, and you must never appoint anyone else. With these two conditions, His Highness may agree? ”

Shi Shi thought for a moment, raised his head, and said solemnly to Lord Liang: "These two conditions, this king promises you!" ”

"Okay, please write down this promise, pen and ink here."

Lord Liang said, prepared the pen, ink, paper and inkstone for Shi Shi one by one, and put them in front of him.

Shi Shi's heart was mixed and indescribable, he lifted the pen with a slight tremble, dipped it in ink, and hesitated for a moment.

"If Your Highness writes down these two promises, it means that the agreement between the concubine and His Royal Highness has been reached, if His Highness does not write it, the concubine will only act as if nothing happened today, even if the sword mountain and the sea of fire in the future, the concubine is willing to face it with His Highness." Seeing that Shi Shi was a little hesitant, Lord Liang only said on the side.

Shi Shi was entangled in his heart for a moment, and finally wrote down the two promises he had just promised to Lord Liang.

The county lord of Liang on the side watched Shi Shi finally make such a choice, and she couldn't help but feel a sour feeling in her heart, she couldn't help but hold back her sorrow, and quietly watched her man write a deed of sale for her.

After a while, Shi Shi finished writing a promise, hurriedly handed it to Lord Liang, and said, "This king has written it, can you see if it's okay?" ”

Lord Liang took the piece of paper, didn't even look at it, and directly folded it and put it into a bag that he carried with him.

"Don't you need to take a look at it?" Shi Shi asked.

Lord Liang smiled bitterly: "There's nothing to see, it's just the sorrow of the woman who wrote it, the concubine is unwell, so she retired first, and she can't serve His Highness tonight." Promise His Highness's affairs, and the concubine will do it. ”

After Lord Liang finished speaking, he got up and left, leaving Shi Shi to sit there alone.

Lord Liang had just walked outside the door, only to hear a "bang" in the room, it turned out that Shi Shi had overturned the table. After all, Lord Liang didn't hold back, tears couldn't stop flowing, she didn't look back, she couldn't turn back, she hid her face and ran to her room.

In the Huilan Palace, Shi Hu had already slept, and because of Imperial Doctor Zhang's advice, Shi Hu needed to recuperate, so Concubine Liu Guifei did not agree to sleep with Shi Hu and slept alone in another room.

"After leaving the palace tomorrow, you go to King Qing's mansion to send a message to King Qing, and say that the palace has something to discuss with him." Liu Guifei said to Xiao Xiang, who was sorting things out.

Xiaoxiang raised her head and asked, "Tomorrow?" Isn't Niangniang going to Lord Liu's house tomorrow? ”

"It's to go to the eldest brother's house, but it's also important to meet King Qing."

"If King Qing asks the slave and maid about the time and place, how should the slave and maid agree?"

"Tomorrow, the back door of Liu's mansion."

"Tomorrow? Won't the mother return to the palace tomorrow? Xiao Xiang asked with some confusion.

"Your Majesty will return to Hongguang Pavilion tomorrow, and you have promised that this palace can stay in Liu's Mansion for one night, you just do what this palace says, and you don't have to worry about the rest."

"Yes......" Xiaoxiang nodded in response.

In the barracks outside Yecheng, Shi Min was looking at the things that Wang Shicheng brought back from You Jian, which were all about the details of conscription.

"Speaking of which, our military secretary has done nothing, so let's let us figure it out by ourselves?" Li Chang flipped through a few pieces of paper and said.

"That's pretty much what it means, You Jian excused himself that the money and food given by the household department were not much, and he couldn't allocate so many weapons, grain and grass to us, so let us find a way to solve it ourselves." Wang Shicheng said while drinking tea.

"Third uncle, how did You Jian tell you about our conscription at that time?" Shi Min asked as he watched.

Wang Shicheng put down the cup, roasted the fire by the stove, and said: "He said that now there are 40,000 people under the general's command, and if the army is conscripted again, I am afraid that the household department will not be able to provide more money and food support, and the war in the north has also subsided, and there will be no war for the time being, and there is no need to be so anxious about conscription." ”

"Fuck it! The last time I fought the Xianbei people, Lao Tzu seized so much baggage grain and grass, didn't they hand over 20,000 stones? It's only been a few days? Gone again? I knew I wouldn't give these fucking bastards! Li Chang slapped the table and scolded.

Shi Min looked up at Li Chang and said with a smile: "Second uncle, it's a good thing that I didn't let you do this, otherwise our military secretary would definitely be beaten by you." ”

"It's light to hit him! According to Lao Tzu's temper, you have to remove one of his arms! What does it mean that the war is quelled and there is no need for conscription? Isn't conscription training just in case? We can't wait for people to come and fight us, so let's go to the temporary conscription, right? This new recruit has no training, how can he go into battle to kill the enemy? Li Chang scolded angrily.

"Third uncle, how much grain and grass is left from the last fight against Dugu Nanxin, in addition to the one handed over to the imperial court?" Shi Min asked.

"There isn't much left, and it's enough for our 40,000 brothers to eat for more than ten days."

"That's not much? 40,000 people are enough to eat for more than ten days, and he Dugu Nanxin really brought no less grain and grass when he went out to fight! Shi Min said with some surprise.

"Shh Wang Shicheng hurriedly motioned to Shi Min to whisper, and said: "In fact, when the class teacher returned to the court last time, the eldest brother asked me to count and hand it in, but I didn't report it truthfully, and secretly kept a part, in fact, only fifty percent was handed in, and what I told the eldest brother was eighty percent, and it was this day to prevent it!" ”
