Emperor Liang pondered for a moment, then looked at Zhang Qingyuan and said, "So if I want to abolish the crown prince, I will be against the people?" ”

Zhang Qingyuan immediately knelt on the ground, "The minister never dared to have this intention, but the abolition of the crown prince is a major matter related to the society of the country, and the emperor is asked to think twice." ”

"Chang Tan put down the rebellion a few days ago, and he contributed a lot." Emperor Liang suddenly said such a sentence. Zhang Qingyuan knew that the emperor probably intended to abolish Chang Xun and change Chang Jian to the crown prince. I couldn't help but think of common sense jade in my heart, and I didn't expect that although she looked young, she acted so sophisticated and careful, and she was so selective that she made mistakes when Chang Jian was making meritorious contributions. But she miscalculated one thing, and he was there, and Chang Inquiry could never be abolished.

"The Seventh Prince's matter is indeed reliable." Zhang Qingyuan praised Chang Yan first, and then continued, "It's just that I don't know why the Seventh Prince can mobilize the army of the Ministry of Troops, this ......"

When Emperor Liang heard this, his eyes sank and he thought about it.

Zhang Qingyuan continued, "Besides, aside from this matter, the crown prince at least went to the frontier to lead troops for a few months in the early years, and I am afraid that the seventh prince will not be able to catch up with the crown prince." ”

Emperor Liang nodded when he heard this, what Zhang Qingyuan said was indeed the truth. But he suddenly stood up again and said, "What can the prince do other than to mix in the frontier for a few years?" I already have an idea in my mind, so let's not discuss this matter again. ”

Zhang Qingyuan heard that Emperor Liang still planned to abolish the crown prince and change the Chang Yan, so he dared to say again, "Your Majesty, the minister still has one last word to say." ”

Emperor Liang sat at the table, looked at Zhang Qingyuan, and after a while, said, "Speak." ”

"Recently, I heard that the Xu Li tribe in the north of our country often goes south to harass our subjects, and the Xu Li tribe has not been paying tribute to our dynasty over the years." Zhang Qingyuan said, "If the emperor wants to make the seventh prince the crown prince, it is better to let him go to the frontier and force the Xu Li people to retreat away from the border of our country." If the Seven Princes have made military exploits, and then re-establish the Seven Princes as the crown princes, even if they are not me, the other ministers of the court and the central government will definitely agree very much. ”

Emperor Liang frowned, the matter of the Xu Li clan had really given him a headache these days, and Zhang Qingyuan's suggestion was indeed feasible. Moreover, since the ancestors of the Great Liang Dynasty, every emperor has had military exploits. If Lao Qi hadn't been trained on the battlefield, it would indeed be difficult to inherit the unification, so he nodded and said, "I will arrange this matter at the princess's birthday banquet in a few days." ”

Zhang Qingyuan knelt on the ground, lowered his head, and replied, "The emperor is sage." The minister had the courage to recommend a suitable candidate to be the supervisor and go with the Seven Princes. This person can be literate and martial, very talented, and is a subordinate of the minister, Xiao Qibai. ”

When Emperor Liang heard Xiao Qibai's name, he was stunned for a moment, and then asked Zhang Qingyuan to retreat, saying, "I will consider it, you should retreat first." ”

There are always many unfulfilled wishes in life, what you want can't be kept, and what you don't want will come. Ji Xiu was beheaded, Xiao Qibai dotted up and down, and secretly went to the connector at night to bring the bodies of Ji Xiu and Yu Zhengfeng back and buried them together with Fang You and others.

Ji Hui stayed in front of Ji Xiu's grave for three days, and he didn't speak, and Xue Qi also accompanied him. Fang You knew that he couldn't persuade them, so he only brought them food every day, but only Xue Qi would eat a few bites. On the night of the third day, Ji Hui finally couldn't hold it anymore and fainted.

Fang You and Xue Qi originally thought that Ji Hui would cry when he woke up, and maybe they would make a fuss about going to Ji Xiu's grave again. Who knew that Ji Yi was unusually calm after waking up, but because she hadn't eaten for a long time, it seemed that even breathing was a little laborious, she said to Fang You and Xue Qi, "Sister Ayou, A, let's go and bring my mother back." ”

"When you're better, we'll go right away!" Fang You said, bringing the porridge and vegetables on the table to Ji Hui's bedside, and motioning for her to eat some.

This time, there was no persuasion from Fang You and Xue Qi to eat, and Ji Hui quickly ate it all, she wiped her mouth, lay on the bed again, turned around, and said, "Sister Ayou, Ayu, you have worked hard these days, I want to sleep for a while, you should also go and rest first." ”

Fang You and Xue Qi glanced at each other, and the two of them reacted calmly to Ji Hui's surprise and uneasiness.

Finally, Fang You asked, "Ah Hu...... You okay? What sadness and unhappiness are in our hearts that we are all in the same way as before? ”

Xue Qi also nodded, "Yes, Ah Hui, you look like this...... Sister Ayu and I were both a little worried. ”

Ji Hui propped up the bed with both hands and slowly sat up. Xue Qi hurriedly stepped forward to support her.

"Sister Ayu, Ayu, I know that you are surprised to see me not crying or making trouble like this, and even I am a little surprised." Ji Hui paused for a while, and then continued, "When I fainted, at that moment, my whole body lost sensation, and I was very scared. But the moment I fainted, I didn't think about my father, but my mother. When that feeling is very similar to death comes, all I think about is what to do with my mother......"

Xue Qi listened and held Ah Hui's hand, although she had become much thinner because of what had happened these days, but it made her hand more powerful than he imagined.

Ji Yi also held Xue Qi's hand tightly and responded to him. She glanced at him and squeezed out a smile. Xue Qi saw Ji Hui's smile, like a hazy sky in winter, and the sun appeared when he got up the next day.

"In a coma, I had a dream in which my father told me that he was going to a far away place," Ji said, "and he said he was happy there...... Let me and my aunt live well here, so that he can rest assured over there. ”

"Ah Hui, it's great that you can think like this." Xue Qi said, "These days, you don't eat anything, and you don't speak, I'm afraid that something big will happen to you if you continue like this." ”

"If you can think like this, Master Quanxia will be very pleased to know." Fang You said, and then said to Xue Qi, "Okay, let's go, she hasn't had a good rest in the past few days, let her sleep for a while." You too. ”

"Hmm." After Xue Qi covered the quilt for Ji Hui, he followed Fang You out of the house.

"Ah You......" As soon as they came out, Shi Nian was leaning outside the door and waiting for Fang You, "I have something to tell you." ”

"Ah, you go back and rest first." Fang You said to Xue Qi. Xue Qi answered and walked away.

"What's wrong?" Fang You then asked.

"Third sister, I'm ......" Shi Nian spoke a little slurred.

Fang Yu saw that there was something wrong with her expression, so he took her hand and prepared to go to his room, "Do you have something important to say?" Let's go, go to my room and say. Ah, why are your hands so hot......" She paused, then looked at Shi Nian. Only then did she realize that her cheeks were also abnormally pink. These days, she is only busy with her master's affairs, and she completely forgets about Shi Nian. She reached out and touched her forehead, "It's so hot...... Are you suffering from the cold? ”

Shi Nian took down Fang You's hand on her forehead, and pulled out Fang You's other hand that held her, "Third sister, don't touch my ......"

"What's wrong?" Fang Yu was puzzled, "Are you afraid of infecting me with the wind cold?" Don't worry, I'm in good health, and I won't be infected by you so easily. ”

"That's not ......" Shi Nian shook her head, and she could hear that she was also speaking a little lightly at this time.

"What's that? When you get sick, you don't go to the doctor or tell us, and your body is burned like this...... Forget it, let's not talk about this for now, let's go, I'll take you to the hospital to have a look. Fang You said and took Shi Nian's hand again.

Shi Nian withdrew his hand and took a few steps back, "I see that you guys have been busy enough these days, besides, besides, I am just ...... Minor illness ......"

"Then you have to go and see it, you can't drag it out, let's go." Fang You still wanted to pull Shi Nian's hand, but she dodged it.

Shi Nian suddenly seemed to have made some decision to regret it, not only did his voice flutter, but his eyes fluttered, "I know, I'll go to the doctor to see, you're too tired these days, go and rest...... I'll just go myself...... I'll go on my own. ”

"How can I rest assured that you are like this......"

"You're always worrying about other people, I'm just feeling the cold. Go to sleep, ah. Shi Nian said as he tried to stabilize his body and walked towards the door.

Fang You looked at Shi Nian's figure walking towards the door, still not worrying and wanted to accompany her, but Shi Nian pushed her away, closed the door, and left by himself.

After closing the door, Shi Nian, who had a headache and a fever all over his body, couldn't support it and sat down along the door frame. What to do? Should I tell Ayu about this? Forget it, Ayu is busy enough, sad enough. She leaned against the wall and slowly walked to the hospital she frequented, fortunately, Ah Yu and they didn't find out that she was drinking medicine these days, so let's continue to hide it from them in the following days.

The next day, after Ji Hui felt better, they went to the old uncle's house at the foot of Zhong Fanshan, preparing to take the master home.

"Paint, Paint......"

As soon as they entered the door, they saw what seemed to be the old man's daughter-in-law feeding the teacher. As soon as Shi Niang saw Ji Hui, she immediately rushed over, hugged Ji Hui, and kept calling her name, "Hui'er, Hui'er, don't leave A-Niang...... Don't leave Auntie behind......"

"Ah Hui, why did you come here all of a sudden, have you eaten?" The daughter-in-law put down the food in her hand and got up and asked, "These two are ......?"

Ji Hui let go of her mother, took her hand, and then said to the daughter-in-law there, "They are all my father's apprentices. Then he looked around and asked, "Why aren't Uncle Zhou and Brother Zhou here?" ”

"Oh, they went up the mountain to hunt," Sister Yu hurriedly replied, and then looked embarrassed and said in a panic, "You see this is really a bit sudden, I didn't prepare anything, and they didn't come back to eat at noon, this ......"

"Sister Yu doesn't have to be busy, we are here to pick up the master, so we are ready to leave." Fang You hurriedly said.

"Yes, Sister Yu, you don't have to prepare anything." Ji Hui said.

"By the way, how are the benefactors doing these days?" Sister Yu asked.

Ji Hui knew that she was asking about her father, so she smiled slightly and replied, "He's fine, but he's been a little tired lately and is at home...... Stopped. That's why let's come and pick up A-Niang back. ”

"That's good, that's good." Sister Yu said.

"Sister Yu, although this silver is not enough to express our gratitude, please accept it." Xue Qi said and took out a bag of silver from his arms and handed it to the eldest sister Yu.

Sister Yu hurriedly returned the silver again, "I can't collect this money, it is right to help my benefactor, I received this money again, but I don't know how to learn about Entu's report, you can take it back quickly!" ”

"Sister Yu, you can take it." Ji Hui said that he would take the money and quickly stuff it into Sister Yu's hands, "These days, you are also taking risks, and it is really hard to take care of A-Niang." After speaking, the four of them did not mean that the eldest sister would go out of the house.

Sister Yu held the silver in her hand and looked at the backs of a few people who were far away, "What a good person." ”
