Chapter 53: Checks and Balances

Xu Zhou retreated, and Rui Di sat on the chair, with one hand against his forehead, and his face looked very bad.

The queen stepped out of the inner chamber, bent down to pick up the crumpled paper and threw it on the ground, and unfolded it flat. Tang Feng's eyebrows and eyes are well-born and beautiful, sometimes like looking down on all beings, and sometimes like a hook. Xu Zhou's painting is not good, and he has not yet shown the seven-point appearance of the person in the painting.

"Queen, you had a good relationship with her before, what do you think I should do about this?" Retty took his hand away and asked suddenly.

The queen was not surprised by his sudden question: "The concubine and her are only superficial friends, and they don't know her very well." Since she is now the female monarch of Southern Xinjiang, it is Your Majesty's state affairs, and the concubines dare not beak. ”

"She can even win over Feng Xianji, it can be seen that the means are powerful, I really underestimated her in the past." His understanding of Tang Feng is still at the level of the emperor's favorite concubine, and he does not understand her political methods.

"Since she is the female monarch of Southern Xinjiang, then she entered the palace before she deliberately ambushed a nail in the royal family. As soon as the first emperor was gone, she resumed her identity, which shows that the goal has been achieved. "Emperor Rui is not stupid, it is impossible to think that a female monarch of Southern Xinjiang is committed to the Great Xia Emperor because of outrageous love, he can only think of what purpose or ambition she has.

The queen said, "There shouldn't be many people who know her true identity now, but Your Majesty is ready to use her identity to make a fuss?" ”

Emperor Rui has this intention, but this move kills a thousand enemies and loses eight hundred, once the truth is revealed, it will definitely disgrace the reputation of the royal family. In order to suppress Tang Feng, the cabinet did not hesitate to release a report to the whole country to know her crimes, and Song Ren also pulled her to perform in front of the people in order to avenge his personal revenge, and now if he wants to use public opinion to suppress her, I am afraid that in the end, it will damage the dignity of the Daxia royal family and reduce the people's respect and trust in the royal family.

The queen also thought of this, and seeing that Emperor Rui had not yet made up her mind, she gently persuaded, "Your Majesty, now that the war is in full swing, the focus should never be on Tang Feng's body." Now that the people are thinking about how to survive, it may not be easy to use them to damage Tang Feng's reputation. "In peacetime, the people did not have to worry about food and clothing, so they naturally had leisure time to pay attention to these. But now Feng Xianji's men and horses are about to attack the gate of the capital, and the people are thinking about how to save their lives, and it makes little sense to use this trick again.

But since he has discovered such a secret, Rui Di is not willing to waste it in vain, he must give Tang Feng a heavy blow.

Rhett fell into deep thought, swaying from side to side. The queen walked around behind him, rolled up a long sleeve, and placed her fingers on the temples at either of his sides, massaging gently. They have been husband and wife for many years, and even if no one speaks when they get along, they don't feel the atmosphere stagnant, but because of the hint of sandalwood on her body, her thoughts are calm.

Rui Di suddenly held her hand and opened his eyes, "Empress, what do you say is the relationship between her and Feng Xianji?" It's clear that they have all hit the doorstep, why did they suddenly withdraw their troops? "Feng Xianji's is not like a person who pities the fragrance and cherishes the jade.

The queen was stunned for a moment.

"Have you heard of what happened at Phoenix Terrace? Feng Xianji was so amazing when he saw Tang Feng for the first time that he crushed the wine glass on the spot, and the emperor lost his manners, which was a joke for a while. ”

"Concubine, I've heard a little."

Rui Di squinted, he was also a man, and he naturally knew how strong Tang Feng's face was attractive to men. If it weren't for their different positions, and she was taken into the harem by the emperor early, he might not be moved.

"Thinking about it this way, Feng Xian can withdraw from the army, and it seems that he really has some past feelings." The queen pondered her words.

"Love? Hehe. Rui Di laughed, "What kind of affection can a prince and a concubine have, Zuo is just a traitor/love." ”

The queen's face turned pale, and she bowed her head slightly, suppressing the unhappiness in her heart. She didn't want to speculate about Tang Feng like this, although she did seem to be the kind of person who would use all the resources available to her for her own sake, she still didn't want to speculate too much about her approach. After all, Tang Feng is the only person she envies, so she still has a glimmer of hope for this conformist world.

"That's right, the two of them must have a personal affair. A rough person like Feng Xianji, who knows nothing but fighting, is simple-minded and straightforward, and must have already become her guest of the scene. The more Emperor Rui thought about it, the closer he felt to the truth, otherwise he would not be able to explain why Feng Xian gave up attacking Southern Xinjiang, which was already as easy as finding out for things.

The queen sighed slightly, she had tried her best, but she still couldn't stop him from attacking Tang Feng.

"Queen, you go to rest first, I still have something to deal with." He patted her hand and soothed.

The queen knew what he was going to do, pursed her lips slightly, and decided to make one last effort for her former friend, "Your Majesty, it's just a woman, it shouldn't affect the overall situation." ”

"It's politics, you don't understand. Sometimes a small link can affect the final result, as long as I can contain Feng Xianji, I don't mind taking advantage of a woman. Rui Di raised his eyebrows, affirmatively authentic.

The queen's face changed because of the sentence "I don't mind taking advantage of women", she thought of herself, and found that there was nothing wrong with applying this sentence to herself. He was indeed good to her, but if it weren't for the fact that she was his wife and the mother behind her, he probably wouldn't even look at her.

The queen felt cold, and the small flame that still existed in her heart was completely extinguished by him.

Ruidi, who was thinking about how to use Tang Feng to fight Feng Xianji, naturally didn't notice her abnormality, for him, his wife was like a part of his body, she would support him at any time, and she was even ready to sacrifice for the overall situation at any time.

This night, the queen did not stay in the Palace of Nourishing the Heart, and it should not be necessary in the future.

——

Feng Yu, who was far away in the southern Xinjiang, probably didn't expect that Rui Di would dare to hit her with the idea again, and she was squatting on the ridge to check the growth of this year's rice.

"We have a lot of mountainous land here, but the land for growing rice is very limited. Most of the people grow red quinoa, which has a high yield and can be used by the family to chew their own food. The local prefectural ordinance introduced.

Feng Yu is determined to develop agriculture well, and has been visiting the surrounding counties for half a month. After walking around, I found that although there are many species in southern Xinjiang, the terrain is very unfavorable for rice planting, so that the yield is very low, and the people have to plant some other fruits.

Feng Yu clapped her hands and stood up, looked at the green mountains in the distance, and said, "Okay, I know." ”

The county magistrate sent her away with a smile, and only when the carriage was far away did he raise his sleeve to wipe the sweat from his forehead.

"My lord, the lady is very gentle." The attendant didn't understand why he was so nervous.

"Hey, mild doesn't mean it's not great, be careful." The county commander is obviously a smart person, although Feng Yu behaved very down-to-earth and did not put on a face, but judging from her style and gestures, this is not an unknown female monarch who has been in the people for more than ten years, and his eyes are poisonous.

Feng Yu returned to Lidu, and after convening the ministers for deliberation, it was decided to issue the first decree since she ascended the throne to encourage farming.

"As long as there is a good way to plant or a good seedling, it can be registered in the household department, and we will set up an agricultural guidance group, which will be funded by the imperial court, and the treatment of the team members will refer to the Liupin officials."

Feng Yu said, "To cultivate planting talents, relying on experience alone is too lacking in popularization. ”

Yun Di, who had already returned from Luoyang, proposed, "Not only farming, but also people who have other skills to help can also register with the household department, and divide them according to their specialties and form a team by category, which will definitely come in handy in the future." ”

"Mr. Yun is right, and so on. What we lack in southern Xinjiang is not talents, but how to unite these people and twist them into a rope. Feng Yu nodded approvingly.

In this way, the selection of talents within the scope of southern Xinjiang has begun vigorously.

Haitang is a little worried about her purse, now that the imperial court has not officially run and the taxes have not yet arrived, how long can her private treasury last alone?

Feng Yu patted her on the shoulder and said, "You don't have to worry about this, I'm engaged in carrying work." ”

Begonia "......"

After so many years in Great Xia, is she really just a concubine who can wear gold and silver? The hats of the traitors on her head were not worn for nothing. How many power trades and power transactions and power and money transactions she made with those people are afraid that even she herself can't count.

"It's no exaggeration to say that six of the ten shops in Shangjing are mine." Feng Yu said with a smile.

Begonia "......" was dumbfounded.

"There are four other companies that should also have a relationship with me."

Begonia "......"

Feng Yu hugged his arm and smiled slightly, "Not only Shangjing, but the industries that Mr. Yun helped me take care of are all over the entire Great Xia Kingdom, which is enough to feed three or four Southern Frontier Kingdoms." ”

Haitang was startled, turned her head and felt that it was not quite right, "Mr. Yun is a scholar, he helps you in business?" How do I think it's unlikely. ”

Feng Yu glanced at her, "A smart head is not only a person who can read, but a nerd who can only read." ”

Oh. Haitang Muran nodded, it seems that she is only worthy of being a thug.

Ju Wan came in from outside, holding an envelope in her hand, from the north. As soon as Haitang saw Feng Yu's expression, he knew who wrote it, chuckled, and went out around the table.

There was more than one letter in the envelope, Feng Yu tilted the mouth of the envelope, poured it out and counted it, a full ten. These letters were indeed written by Feng Xianji, and half of them did not mention the situation of the war, probably because it was going too smoothly, and there was no one to write. He babbled a lot about what he had seen and heard on the road, and his tone was as if he was sitting across from her, and there was no sense of distance from him at all.

"Sure enough, it's a rough man." Feng Yu laughed while reading, and did not forget to despise his writing. Although the handwriting is not bad, bold and rough, similar to himself, but the writing is really average, and there is no half-sentence sentence against the battle after reading the whole article, and one of them even faintly smells of food, and I don't know if he wrote it at the dinner table or on the desk.

Feng Yu sighed deeply and wrote back to him.

"Brother Xianji saw the letter like a letter. Everything is fine in southern Xinjiang, the wind is beautiful, and there are worries. The weather in the north has been hot lately, and you have repeatedly mentioned in your letter that you should go down to the river to bathe, and suggest that you do not take the lead again, which is quite indecent......"

Half a month had passed when Feng Xianji received Feng Yu's reply, and the news that Emperor Rui had sent troops to attack Luoyang arrived with the letter. For these two pieces of news that arrived at the same time, Feng Xianji's handling was completely different, for the latter, he waved his pen and ordered the Luoyang defenders to watch their homes well, and for the former, he ......

He watched the "string machine brother" she called him for a long time, and planned to listen to her shout again the next time they met. Then, I read the contents of the letter over and over again, and finally read a little disgust for his literary talent. He slapped his thigh, this is easy to do, caught Wen Ruyi, and ordered him to reply to Fengyu in his tone.

Wen Ruyi, "......", doesn't want to meddle in your complicated relationship.

Feng Xianji cleared his throat and said, "I'll read what you wrote, you can just polish my words a little." ”

When did the people below see such a grinding prince, they couldn't help laughing.

Feng Xianji glanced over, and there was no sound in the house, and they all buried their heads and pretended to be quails. After all, the prince who grinds and grinds is also the prince who can smash people's heads with his bare hands.

Wen Ruyi picked up the pen, and helplessly caught the knife for the prince of his family.
