Before leaving, Shi Min called Shi Xin to him and said: "You and I are husband and wife, today I leave, you are the master of this Xihua Mansion, but the Xihua Mansion will treat everyone well, you know what I mean?" ”

Shi Xin said, "Are you worried about Qin Wan?" ”

Shi Min didn't reply, although Shi Xin felt a little uncomfortable, he still said calmly: "You can rest assured for many days!" The Xihua Marquis Mansion will not treat her badly! ”

Hearing Shi Xin say this, Shi Min nodded slightly, relieved, and left.

……

When I first arrived on Wolong Mountain, the quiet and peaceful scene made Shi Shi, who was stuffed in the palace, feel refreshed.

Perhaps it is the Qiankun Temple that is indeed a place blessed by the gods, and after staying for two days, Shi Jian is refreshed and can sleep a little at night.

In the evening, Zhang Bao came to Qiankun to report on his work.

"Meet Your Majesty!"

"Get up!" Shi Shi slowly raised his hand and walked out from behind the scenes, and the injury on his face was almost invisible.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Zhang Bao stood up, glanced at Shi Shi, and said, "Congratulations, Your Majesty!" ”

"Where does the joy come from?"

"Look at Your Majesty's countenance, the gods are already protecting you! Everything will be fine! ”

Shi Shi smiled and said, "I have indeed felt a little lighter these days!" Aiqing, you have made a lot of contributions! What a great idea for me! ”

"Ministers were born to serve you! If Your Majesty sees him like this, the minister will be a little embarrassed! ”

"Hahahaha! You old thing, oily and slippery! Shi Shi didn't admit it, but in fact, he listened with joy.

"Your Majesty, at the beginning of the new year, the personnel of all ministries have been deployed according to your set!"

Shi Shi sat down and said, "When the first emperor was here, the dynasty was chaotic, and the government affairs were out!" Now that I have succeeded to the throne, this situation must be changed! These days, the government affairs will be handled by you, and you can report to me every three days! ”

"The minister must do his best!"

"Last year, we started to see the benefits of Tuntian, and this year's decision must be implemented in various states and counties!"

"The minister understands!"

"Also, since Liu Yuanzhi's death, the accounts of this household department are a bad account, Wu Liang is a new official, I hope that his three fires can be burned well and things will be sorted out!"

"Wu Liang has been sorting out last year's accounts and taxes since yesterday, and the minister will definitely urge him to sort them out as soon as possible!"

"Accounts from previous years are important, but this year's spending can't be without budgeting! Zhao fought several times with the Xiongnu Xianbei and other countries last year, but the Ministry of Industry spent almost more money and grain last year than the Ministry of War, what does this mean? Speaking of this, Shi Shi's face was a little ugly.

Zhang Bao naturally won't say anything, he is a courtier, and he definitely won't be the first emperor.

"This year, collect the expenditure of the Ministry of Industry!" Shi Shi said suddenly.

"Obey the order!"

"By the way, I ask you, has there been any movement in the Xihua Marquis Mansion recently?"

"I heard that this afternoon, Xihuahou and his two vanguard generals and some entourages left Yecheng and set off back to the Handan camp."

"He's pretty neat!"

"Lisuo is not Lisuo, Xihuahou went by carriage!"

"What do you mean?" Shi Shi was a little puzzled.

"Xihuahou is injured, it seems that he is still injured!"

"Hurt? How could he get hurt when he was so good? ”

"I heard that I accidentally got it when I was practicing martial arts, but it's not in the way! Your Majesty doesn't have to worry! ”

Shi Shi nodded slightly and said, "This kid is a talent!" Better than his father did years ago! But at a young age with heavy troops, I was worried that he would be impetuous, and what kind of chaos would happen, so let him return to Handan as soon as possible to hone and hone his heart! ”

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

"Zhang Bao!"

"The minister is here!"

"There's a word that I want to say in front!" Shi Shi's tone suddenly became serious.

Zhang Bao hurriedly responded: "Weichen is waiting for your orders!" ”

"Most of these people were recommended by you, I can trust you, don't let me down!"

"The minister understands!"

Shi Shi nodded with satisfaction, looked around, and said: "This place is clean and clean, but it is a little boring!" Eating vegetarian and chanting sutras all day, I feel like I'm about to jump out of the Three Realms. ”

"Since it's a practice, naturally you have to endure some hardships! Your Majesty, you have suffered! Zhang Bao said, kowtowed, and said: "But after all, your complexion is much better, and I think that the hardships of the past few days have not been in vain!" ”

"You can talk! But in the past two days, at night, my heart seems to be a little more steady! ”

"When Wechen traveled the world in his early years, he once heard of a home remedies! Maybe it will help His Majesty's self-cultivation. ”

"What remedies?"

"The art of picking yin and supplementing yang."

"Picking yin to supplement yang? What do you mean? ”

"Taoists believe that all things in heaven and earth cannot escape the five elements of yin and yang, and your majesty's recent situation is obviously caused by the inflated yang qi and the imbalance of yin and yang, and it should be appropriately adjusted."

Shi Shi listened to the clouds, but he was also very convinced, and asked, "How can this be adjusted?" ”

Zhang Bao smiled mysteriously and said, "The minister will arrange it for Your Majesty, you can rest assured!" ”

Although Shi Shi didn't fully understand what the so-called Yin Replenishment Yang meant, just by looking at this literal understanding, he could guess a few points, but Shi Shi didn't say anything, and he didn't continue to ask.

Leaving Wolong Mountain, Zhang Bao returned to Yecheng overnight. After entering the city gate, Zhang Bao suddenly asked the coachman to stop, and a few entourages followed him stepped forward and asked, "What's wrong, my lord!" ”

"The car has been sitting for too long, and the old man wants to get down and take a walk!" Zhang Bao said and lifted the curtain.

The coachman hurriedly knelt down, took his back as a step, and let Zhang Bao step on the carriage easily, and then quickly got up and put the cloak on Zhang Bao.

Zhang Bao stood on the street of Yecheng, looked around, and said, "It's not curfew yet, why is there no one on this road?" ”

"Since the accident of the lord of Liang County last year, the first emperor opened a big killing, the population of this Yecheng has decreased a lot, so ......"

Zhang Bao snorted coldly and scolded disdainfully: "Butcher! ”

Everyone didn't dare to answer, Zhang Bao walked straight on the street of Yecheng, without saying a word, looking around from time to time, and the entourage didn't know what Zhang Bao was looking at, so they could only follow closely and listen to orders at any time.

Now, Zhang Bao's wish has been preliminarily achieved, he has successfully won the trust of Shi Shi, and he has been added to the rank of knight as he wished, and his own interest network has been completely expanded, and the people in the six departments have basically been enveloped by him. coincided with Shi Shi's weak temperament, and now he was sick, which allowed Zhang Bao's conspiracy and ambition to grow smoothly. At this moment, Zhang Bao remembered Cao Mengde, who coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, and he vaguely felt that the entire Zhao Kingdom was slowly being trampled under his feet. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but stop, looked up at the starry sky above his head, and smiled quite proudly.

But Zhang Bao is not without scruples, first, if Shi Shi is really sober in the future, I am afraid that Zhang Bao will not be able to do many things as he wants, and second, what Zhang Bao is most worried about is that in Zhang Bao's hands, there is no strong enough chess piece! This is also the reason why Zhang Bao supports Gao Shirong.

The household department is in charge of money and food, and the military department controls soldiers and horses, and Zhang Bao grasps both hands, and it is this abacus that he plays. However, the soldiers and horses of the Xihua Marquis Mansion are not dispatched by the Ministry of War, which is also the most taboo place for Zhang Bao, so Shi Min's attitude has now become the thing that Zhang Bao is most concerned about.

"Lord Zhang, you're still strolling on the street so late, you really have Yaxing!" A voice suddenly came.

Zhang Bao heard the prestige, and more than a dozen steps away, there was a team of people patrolling the battalion, and the leader was naturally Shi Jian.

"It turned out to be His Royal Highness King Ning!" Zhang Bao unhurriedly put his hands behind his back and looked at Shi Jian.

"There will be a curfew coming, when the gates will be closed and no one will be allowed to walk around the streets! My lord, why don't you let Xiao Wang take someone to send you home! Shi Jian said politely.
