Chapter Seventy-Six: Chen Said
When the military general saw that Xue Yi was captivating the city and the country, and his slender hands were like mutton fat and jade, he suddenly fell into distraction, knelt on the ground and slammed his head, and Xue Yiwan helped the military general up. ET
Xiao Yichen saw Xue Yi smiling at the general, and he was very unhappy. But Xiao Yichen is a smart person, he knows Xueyi's intentions, at this moment, he, the prince, is just a bare-bones commander, and it can be said that he is worthless in this Lingbei land, that is, these civil and military generals will give a few thin noodles, if they are replaced by Kou An and other Lingbei natives, they will not buy Xiao Yichen, the prince's thin noodles, in the future, if he wants to act in this Lingbei, he must have his own henchmen, and this confidant can only be emotional.
Xiao Yichen nodded frequently, clasped his fists in his chest and said: "Everyone is exempt from courtesy, as the saying goes, three points of nostalgia and seven points of people's will, in Lingbei, you and I are considered fellow villagers, and these vulgar principles will be exempted in the future." ”
Everyone said they didn't dare, they all sat down to drink tea, the atmosphere eased a lot, after Xue Yi retreated, Xiao Yichen looked at a military general and asked, "May I ask General Xu, what is going on with Kou An's concubine?" ”
When General Xu heard Xiao Yichen talk about Kou An's concubine, he couldn't help but shake his head frequently and sighed, and said with regret: "Speaking of which, Kou An was also a well-known figure in this Lingbei area, alas, the red face and the troubles are all caused by that woman!" ”
A civil official wearing a black veil stood up and said: "Before the woman came, General Kou An practiced his soldiers and horses every day, sleeping on three shifts and getting up on five watches, our Lingbei can also be regarded as a strong soldier, since the woman came, Kou An, who was somehow confused, was in a trance, and now he is even more sent to hand over the military power to the woman, according to the minister, the woman has also tested where Kou An's talisman is." ”
"Yes, yes, this place is only a river away from the Hui Han tribe, and the Hui Han tribe is eyeing our Lingbei, but they are afraid of Kou An, and they are afraid that this border will be in danger in the future."
Everyone was gossiping and talking, Xiao Yichen waited for everyone to finish speaking, thought for a while, and asked: "Do you know what kind of trance Kou An is?" ”
General Xu pondered for a moment and said: "General Kou has often been in tears recently, his expression is aggrieved, listless, and he has been lazy to enter the barracks recently, and it is said that he and his concubine have been immersed in the gentle countryside all day long," General Xu was stunned, and looked at Xiao Yichen with a puzzled face: "Does the prince think that Kou An has been poisoned?" ”
Xiao Yichen nodded: "There is no need to guess the rank, I have already sent someone to invite General Kou, and I will know the truth later." ”
"I'm afraid that Koan won't be able to come!" Someone seems to be sure.
At this moment, the guard outside the door reported to the door, knelt at the door and replied: "Lord Wang, Kou An asks to see." ”
"Xuan."
Before Xiao Yichen's voice fell, Kou An hurriedly ran in, his eyes were scattered, and he said in his mouth: "Where is Niangniang?" Where is the mother? ”
A guard had already come up and held down Kou An: "Bold, how can the prince let you come here without you!" ”
Kou An just ignored it, just looking for some mother. Xiao Yichen leaned down and said lightly: "Kou An, as long as you tell you how you know your mother, how about this king give you this?" Xiao Yichen had an extra red pill in his hand, which flashed in front of Kou An's eyes, and the courtyard was suddenly filled with a strange fragrance, which seemed to be something wrong and refreshing.
Kou An looked at Xiao Yichen excitedly and asked, "How do you have the elixir of your mother?" ”
"Ko'an! Don't be fooled, what he has in his hand is not the elixir I gave you, but the poison that will kill you! With a coquettish shout, a woman in a red shirt staggered into the courtyard, walked in front of Xiao Yichen, and knelt in the dust, the woman claimed to be Kou An's wife.
Xiao Yichen smiled coldly, he recognized this woman when the woman entered the courtyard, he thought that this person was arranged by Xiao Yishuo, but he didn't expect that it was Concubine Jing's niece Qing'er! It seems that these two people are still not at ease when they drove him to Lingbei, and they are willing to give up only if they have to take his life.
Xiao Yichen only didn't know it, and looked at Qing'er in surprise and said: "As far as this king knows, Mrs. Kou should be the daughter of Li Xiancheng, how can I listen to Mrs. Kou's voice like a Kyoto person?" ”
Qing'er believes that she has never seen the princes, Xiao Yichen must not recognize her, but she doesn't know that this prince is not only a big and small person in the palace, but also a bird and beast, she smiled coquettishly: "The prince has good ears, Qing'er really came from Jingshi, and it hasn't been three months since she came." ”
Qing'er is a female guest, Xue Yi, as the heroine, has already walked out of the house, picked up Qing'er, Xue Yi wanted to keep Qing'er in the house to talk in detail, but Qing'er seemed to be in a hurry to leave. Xiao Yichen was a little absent-minded, and a pair of eyes drifted to the door intentionally or unintentionally, as if he was waiting for someone.
Qing'er insisted on leaving, and Xue Yi had no excuse to stay anymore, so Xiao Yichen said, "Why is Mrs. Kou in a hurry to leave? Don't stay any longer, if an old man comes to see Mrs. Kou, maybe he will surprise Mrs. Kou. ”
That Kou An had already taken the pill at this time, knelt at Xiao Yichen's feet energetically, stared at the round eyes and asked, "How can the prince have my mother's elixir?" ”
Xiao Yichen smiled noncommittally.
There was a sound of a horse coat bell outside the door, and then, the head of the guards walked into the courtyard in a hurry, followed by a girl with a double head on his head, and the head of the guard handed over the prince's big seal to Xiao Yichen: "The subordinates have handed over the order, and the people have come." ”
The little girl knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Xiao Yichen: "Slave Xiaohu knocked to see the prince, the eldest brother of the guard has told Xiaohu what happened along the way, and Xiaohu is willing to confront Qing'er!" ”
Xiao Yichen looked at Qing'er: "Mrs. Kou, do you still recognize her?" ”
Qing'er stood there, the moment she entered the courtyard from Xiaohu, her face was red and white, knowing that her deeds were exposed, and now seeing Xiao Yichen calling her by name, she understands that she has to tell the truth today, since she is Concubine Jing's niece, she is also on the order of Concubine Jing, to confuse Kou An to use Kou An to wait for the opportunity to get rid of Xiao Yichen, and at this time it seems that the conspiracy has been revealed.
Qing'er pretended to be calm and smiled coldly: "Since Lord Yu already knows who Qing'er is, why is he asking me?" ”
Xiao Yichen turned to everyone, his eyes fell on Kou An, and said slowly: "Do you all think that General Kou's mandarin duck tent is so lingering?" In fact, this General Kou is really wronged, I'm afraid he hasn't touched a finger of the Qing'er girl so far, right? ”
"Huh?"
"How is that possible?"
"Won't it?"
There was a sigh in the courtyard, and Kou An's face was red, but he was extremely happy: "How does the prince know about the family affairs of the last general?" ”
Xiao Yichen held the red pill in his hand and said: "Only this illusion pill Qing'er girl is enough, not to mention that Qing'er girl's purpose is to be the future queen of the four princes, and she will be an imperial concubine at the very least, how can you let a rough person get involved." ”
When Qing'er heard this, her face became more and more ugly.
Xiao Yichen turned to Xiaohu: "Xiaohu, you can tell General Kou about the plan of Concubine Jing and the four princes." ”
"Yes, lord." Xiaohu agreed and told the story of the incident.
The fourth prince stayed at Concubine Jing's place at night and was seen by the emperor, Concubine Jing pushed the matter to 265, all on her niece Qing'er's body, Xiao Yishuo swore with snot and tears that he liked Qing'er, Concubine Jing wiped her neck and cried against the pillar, covering up the cheating scene, and later Concubine Yuan was attentive and kept Qing'er by her side, supervising and supervising day and night.
That Qing'er was not a trouble-free person, and she was exquisite, and she actually coaxed and bought all the female eunuchs in the palace of Concubine Yuan, and had a private tryst with Xiao Yishuo and Concubine Jing from time to time.
Concubine Jing and Xiao Yishuo have always been worried about Xiao Yichen, the two of them will want to die and then quickly, after several attempts to find opportunities to assassinate failed, just Kou An entered Beijing to report on his work, Xiao Yishuo and Concubine Jing discussed, deliberately created an opportunity for Qing'er to meet Kou An, Kou An fell in love at first sight, and brought Qing'er back to Lingbei, Qing'er in order to protect her chastity, along the way to dominate Kou An with the Phantom Pill, the Phantom Pill is a kind of poison, after taking it for a long time, it will depend on the sex, and if you don't eat for a day, you will be uncomfortable and irritable.
After listening to Xiaohu's speech, Kou An's eyes were torn, and he grabbed Qing'er's neck with his backhand and said hatefully: "Good you slut, you are so vicious, I killed my wife for you, wronged my father, and even almost killed his old man!" ”
Qing'er's eyes turned outward and drifted towards Xiao Yichen. Xiao Yichen then ordered his subordinates to take Kou An down, Kou An struggled desperately, shouting: "Lord Wang, your great kindness, I Kou An will repay it in the next life, let me strangle this slut today to avenge my wife!" Avenge my father's grievances. ”
According to Xiao Yichen's meaning, this Qing'er will be handed over to Kou An to dispose of, life and death are casual, but Xue Yi is thoughtful, considering that Qing'er's identity is Concubine Jing's niece after all, it is better to imprison her here, and find out how she can contact the people in Beijing and keep this eyes and ears cheap.
Xiao Yichen thought about it again and again, and felt that what Xue Yi said was not completely unreasonable, so he locked up Qing'er and was guarded by Gong Mama and Xue Yi herself.
Everyone saw that Xiao Yichen calmed down Kou An's matter when he first arrived, and no one dared to underestimate this crippled prince, and the generals were even more grateful to Xiao Yichen and Xue Yi for their kindness, and were willing to serve them. Needless to say, seeing his father tearful and repentant, Xiao Yichen gave Kou An the antidote to the Phantom Pill, and a turmoil subsided.
The following days were also peaceful, surrounded by deep mountains in the north of the mountain, the land was barren, and the people here depended on the sky for food and hunting. It has been ten days since he came to Lingbei, and on this day, Xue Yi found Xiao Yichen and persuaded Xiao Yichen to issue an edict to do farming and stop hunting.
Xiao Yichen shook his head slowly, the people here are fierce, hunting is a custom left by the ancestors, and it is not easy to change it for a while.
Xue Yi bent her knees, and she had to say the pros and cons: "The foundation of the world, all those who are for the country, do not do anything, and it is easy to use it, and it is reluctant to make it scarce." Now there are many eaters, and the losers have been killed, and they are not diligent in persuasion, but take them to their feet, so that the people do not give as much as they plough, and half of them are idle people, so that they are often afraid of lack of food, and the number of soldiers and horses is half in grain and grass. ”
Xiao Yichen stared at Xue Yi for a long time and was speechless.
