(50) Ugly ghosts
When everyone rushed back to Donglin Palace, Li Siyuan was already drinking tea in Shen Qingjun's bedroom.
Rubbing his eyes while drinking, it is estimated that he is sleepy.
A few days ago, Shen Mo was not idle in Quxian County to solve the case, and reported the things that had been prepared for the border defense in recent days, and by the way, mixed with some small personal feelings, focusing on the equipment configuration of escorting Helian envoys was quite ordinary, and he almost explicitly indicated that Li Siyuan would give money.
It's not that Shen Mo really wants to give the Rongdi royal family any pomp, after all, he is a defeated general, he has robbed the people for many years, and renting a sedan chair is already the maximum tolerance limit, how can he still engage in pomp and circumstance?
But military spending is really not enough!
Shen Mo just wanted to take a little bit of these "extra unnecessary expenses" to make up for the armor of the soldiers.
It's really helpless.
In the past, he also obediently and skillfully wrote down the income and expenditure one by one, and then made the account book and handed it to Li Siyuan once a quarter, but he couldn't go back, who knows where the account book is thrown now?
In the past three years, military spending has not increased, but has decreased every year. Even if there were straw mixed in the winter clothes and cotton materials transferred by the military department, he could only endure it, and then sent people to the people at the border gates to exchange the labor of the army for the wool on the corners.
Nowadays, many armor that has been used for many years is torn, and it is also due to the fact that the people at the border and many merchants have donated a lot of iron money, and they have made up for five or six tenths, but there are still four or five cents left.
There was no way, he could only ask for money in another way.
In fact, he had already heard those gossips from outside the court, after all, he had also returned to Beijing several times to restore his life.
Did the Shen family come to the household department to "ask for food" again?
Didn't the young lady of the Shen family hook His Majesty so tightly, why did the Shen family still cry poor!
Hurry up, go quickly, if you meet those beggars in the Shen family's army, you will have to be unlucky for several days.
Shen Mo listened expressionlessly, and the muscles on his arms under his shirt were bulging, but he didn't move at all.
It turned out that His Majesty loved his sister very much, that is, he belittled the young children of the Shen family at will, ignoring the military salary of the Shen family army on the border and being deducted layer by layer.
Shen Mo knew too well that if he saw the emperor again, he would only let the Shen family persuade Shen Qingjun to obey, otherwise everything would be avoided.
The Shen family was hard-boned, and they were only shocked at first, and finally they all sighed and left the palace.
The Shen family, who lost power in the court, gradually became the target of public criticism.
So he held the military power tighter, and he didn't want his little sister to obey the emperor even more.
Shen Mo sighed, since His Majesty held a general election to force Shen Qingjun as a concubine, they were no longer friends, but monarchs and ministers.
Monarchs and ministers, fathers and sons.
Li Siyuan happened to receive a few letters from Shen Mo tonight, in line with the military exploits that his own general had earned for himself for a few days to show off, he opened Shen Mo's letter after dealing with the folds, so that he could just wait for the painting in Yishu Palace to tell him that Shen Qingjun fell into the lotus pond.
Just before he slept, Li Siyuan put down the letter asking for money in his hand and set up the Donglin Palace.
But this left and right, waiting for all the sleepy, only to come back, sit for a long time, feet numb, unable to stand up for a while, simply, Li Siyuan packaged himself into a reserved waiting appearance.
Seeing Yi Shu come in, Li Siyuan nodded at her calmly, although he didn't get up, he sat on the seat and looked in the direction of the group of people behind Yi Shu.
It's hard to hide the concern.
"Your Majesty," Yi Shu blocked his sight: "Qing Zhaoyi fell into the water, and now her clothes are not dry and her hair is messy, I am afraid that she will not be able to enter Your Majesty's eyes, and I also ask Your Majesty to allow the concubine to change her clothes for Qing Zhaoyi." ”
What if you want to see it more?
Li Siyuan thought about it, anyway, now that he moved twice, he could stand up, so he decisively gave up sitting on the seat and was reserved, got up and bypassed Yi Shu and went straight to the soft sedan car.
The quilt prepared by Yi Shu is very sufficient, plus the warm bag used to warm the human body, and now Shen Qingjun, who is supported on the sedan chair, is like a cotton ball with a long head, and his head is still crooked.
Thanks to Shen Qingjun's loss of consciousness, if he saw his current appearance, he would probably wish he was still drowning.
The consequence of this is that Li Siyuan stood next to the sedan chair and gestured twice, but he didn't find a suitable position to pick up Shen Qingjun.
However, Yi Shu's trick was done beautifully, not only in accordance with the law in terms of rationality, but also successfully prevented the emperor and Shen Qingjun from getting close, and he stood behind to watch the play.
To a certain extent, Shen Qingjun himself was willing to lose face in exchange for staying away, and was reported by Li Siyuan to go to bed and change clothes by the way...... It's horrible, my mom.
"Hey," and Li Siyuan, who was standing at a loss by the sedan chair, took a breath, feeling that he should do something when he came, so he looked left and right, but found that the people around him who were carrying the sedan chair were eunuchs.
"Hmm......" Li Siyuan's eyes suddenly lit up, and he pointed to the group of half-dry and half-wet people who followed behind: "You, you, yes, the one against the wall, and the tallest one, you guys come and hug Junjun in." ”
Shen Qingjun has always rejected Li Siyuan in the name of filial piety, so he has not had much contact with the subordinates of the Donglin Palace, except for the few who made a special trip to close the door.
The force of closing the door was quite strong, so he ordered three palace maids that he had an impression of, and was sure that they would definitely be able to lift this Qingjun ball.
After finishing the command, he barely regained his face, Li Siyuan turned around and cleared his throat, ready to question Yi Shu.
As soon as he turned around, he saw Yi Shu's meaningful eyes, and his heart was strained, and he forcibly hardened: "Why did you wrap people like this?" ”
"Oh~" Yi Shu looked at his straight face, and raised the end of his voice: "The concubine should have made Qing Zhaoyi's clothes messy, the wet water was semi-transparent, and the water was in and out of the hibiscus, and there was temptation in the delicateness?" ”
Yi Shu thought that the next half of the sentence should be "Wouldn't it be worse to let Qing Zhaoyi ride in a sedan chair in the wind like this?" "Then I asked Your Majesty for a sin, and both of them went down the stairs.
But Li Siyuan never followed the routine, he thought about this scene, although he felt half a point under his feet, he suddenly stirred, and frowned: "That's not good, how can I look like you don't even see it?" ”
Yi Shu's second half of the sentence was stuck in her throat, God knew that she actually wanted to persuade the emperor that Shen Qingjun would suffer from this cold...... This trick has been tried and tested repeatedly on the Youth League who also care about Shen Qingjun, why did I take advantage of Shen Qingjun when I came to Li Siyuan?
It's rare to see this demon concubine in this palace?
Yi Shu took a deep breath, and the appearance of Shen Qingjun lying on the bed with his half-exposed shoulders hooking his fingers towards her came to mind, and he felt goosebumps all over his body, and his eyes gradually frightened when he looked at Li Siyuan.
"Xiao Shu, what's wrong with you? What do you think? ”
Li Siyuan watched the maid carry Shen Qingjun in, turned his head and found that Yi Shu was not very affectionate, so he stretched out his hand and shook it twice in front of her eyes.
Yi Shu's focus when he came back to his senses was Li Siyuan's enlarged handsome face, his face turned from white to red, and he said angrily: "Why is Your Majesty so close." ”
Shen Qingjun? (crossed out) Hongu likes to look like this!
"Hey? After all, I have been in the wind since I was a small jade tree, graceful, starry and sword-eyed, and have excellent appearance...... Xiao Shu, don't you feel honored to see me up close? Li Siyuan raised his eyebrows and raised a confident and triumphant smile.
In terms of praising himself, especially the good skin praised by the old bustard of Baihualou outside the palace, Li Siyuan is definitely professional, he didn't repeat hundreds of words in a row, his eyes looked at Yi Shu with a smile, and he blushed, naturally he was conquered by my appearance.
It wasn't until Shen Qingjun's palace maids pushed the door out that Li Siyuan went in with satisfaction with his hands behind his back.
Yi Shu sighed behind him, leaned over and said, "Childish! Ugly ghosts! ”
