The person who appeared in front of him was indeed Qin Zhuang, and the token sent by the housekeeper was the tiger talisman of the Jizhou army that made Shen Zhe feel horrified, and his cousin casually took out this kind of thing as a token to show his identity, Shen Zhe felt incredible. → eight → eight → read → books, .↓.o came ≥ not only Qin Zhuang alone, he brought more than a dozen people, there were carriages with people and carts for pulling goods, dressed like a caravan.

When Qin Zhuang saw Shen Zhe, he also smiled: "General, I have the best medicinal materials here, can you pass by?" ”

"There is a shortage of medicinal herbs, please inside." Shen Zhe got down and brought his cousin into the door.

As soon as he entered the door, the brothers recognized each other, and Shen Zhe didn't ask why Qin Zhuang came in disguise, some words didn't need to be explained, smart people could understand it at a glance, and when they asked, they seemed to be weak-hearted.

Qin Zhuang looked at the General's Mansion and said with a smile: "The last time I left Qiangshui Pass, I was carried away by someone for nine deaths, and now I still have a faint pain on my back, so I remembered that I was desperate at that time, but fortunately, it was not the emperor who was injured." ”

Shen Zhe said: "My cousin's bravery and fearlessness have been praised in Qiangshui Pass so far. ”

Qin Zhuang waved his hand: "What am I, I just saved the emperor's life, and you gave life to this barren land again, just like Jizhou in the past." ”

Shen Zheqian said: "It is far from enough, and it is quite difficult to lack food and medicine at the moment." ”

The two cousins glanced at each other, and they both understood in their hearts, Qin Zhuang sighed: "Don't blame the emperor, Liang Guo and Zanxi people, they are eyeing me Daqi, and the emperor should invest his energy in Xiping Mansion." I just saw that the grain and grass allocated by the imperial court to Kishu had decreased compared with last year, although the road was difficult and it would be sent in batches, I guessed in my heart that it was not easy for the emperor, and it was not easy to pull down his face. But Kishu knows that he has long since stopped relying on the imperial court for many years, so I'm worried about whether it will be difficult for you to continue here. I want to come and see you affectionately, and send you some medicinal herbs, I have been to Qiangshui Pass before, and I know what is most lacking here, you don't suspect that my brother's motives are not pure and have other thoughts. ”

Shen Zhelang said with a smile: "What my cousin said, I'm not that kind of person. ”

Qin Zhuang looked at the furnishings in the house again, and sure enough, there was a lack of hostess's breath, and he said, "On the way here, I heard that my younger brother and sister have been ill for a long time, do you know?" ”

Shen Zhe's eyes darkened suddenly, and he nodded and said: "I know, I just flew the pigeon to pass the book, so as to appease her some lovesickness, cousin, don't laugh at her, she is still so young, we are only two years newlywed." ”

Two years ago, in the Mid-Autumn Festival, Qin Zhuang went to the capital thousands of miles away, just to attend his cousin's wedding, for his cousin's affairs, he wanted to pay attention to the emperor's affairs, and also wanted to establish an impression in Shen Zhe's heart, so that he knew that his cousin was very worried about him.

"Your uncle is getting older and older, and he always wants to see you, and Wen Yueyuan married Zanxi, which made him lovesick, and he looked forward to the neatness of the family." Qin Zhuang sighed, and asked Shen Zhe again: "Don't you want to go back to the capital, take a look at your younger brothers and sisters, there is this kind of news, even I have heard about it on the road, you are not afraid of her......"

Shen Zhe looked at his brother solemnly: "I can't do without me here." ”

Qin Zhuang said with a smile: "Brother is guarding for you, you go back quickly." ”

Shen Zhe asked, "What about Kishu?" ”

Qin Zhuang said lightly: "The emperor now has all his thoughts in Xiping Mansion, and it is Qiangshui Pass again, Jizhou has long been his most reassuring place, he is afraid that he has not remembered his hometown for a long time, you go back quickly, my brother can't always go back, as soon as you come back, I will also leave to go back to Jizhou." ”

Shen Zhe didn't agree immediately, he and the emperor kept guessing what Qin Zhuang would do, and he never got the news that Qin Zhuang left Jizhou, I don't know if the emperor deliberately didn't tell him, wanting him to have the most natural reaction at this moment, or Qin Zhuang's whereabouts were too secret for the emperor to notice, now is not the time to pursue these, but to let Qin Zhuang understand that he doesn't fully trust him.

"Brother, let me, think for a long time." Shen Zhe said solemnly, "The stakes are very high, and I can't affect my brother." ”

Qin Zhuang smiled disapprenosingly: "It seems that you and I will spend the Mid-Autumn Festival together here first, and we can be regarded as members of the brothers." ”

If so, the next day is the Mid-Autumn Festival, Yunshang received her husband's flying pigeon book, holding the paper paper and couldn't put it down, the maids sent soup, medicine, tea and rice, carefully took care of her, and said: "The Mid-Autumn Festival banquet in the palace can be lively, I heard that the emperor spent more money on the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet this year, but unfortunately Mrs. You are sick and can't take a look." ”

Yunshang said: "I don't care, it's just that it would be nice if I could go, so I can be by the queen's side." Although Yunshang vaguely felt that the disharmony between the emperor and queen was not as simple as it seemed, but now there was a lot of uproar, the true and the false, she couldn't tell the difference, she couldn't help in her illness, she only knew that the palace was in the same water as the Yuming Palace, and the emperor stood behind the concubine one-sidedly.

At this moment, in the Shangyang Palace, Qiu Zhenyu took the third lady to congratulate the Mid-Autumn Festival, before entering the door, he would be suspicious of the discord between the emperor and the queen, and always thought that it was a scene in which they cooperated with each other, but the moment he saw the queen, Qiu Zhenyu himself wondered, the temperament on the throne was restrained and his expression was solemn, and there seemed to be something he wanted to say but didn't say it, but the queen still held the irritating arrogance, but in this arrogance, she began to reveal frustration.

Walking out of the Shangyang Palace, the third lady took a breath and said, "The queen looks a little different. ”

Qiu Zhenyu asked lightly: "What do you say?" ”

The third lady said: "Maybe it's because the concubine thinks too much, after all, it's ...... right now."

Before she finished speaking, a richly dressed woman came in front of her, and the third lady said, "Master, it's the concubine who is here." ”

Qiu Zhenyu also saw it, they stepped forward to salute together, since Liang Ruojun entered the palace, it was the first time he talked to Qiu Zhenyu in private, and with the convenience of the musician, they had already been in contact, Qiu Zhenyu's first sentence to remind the concubine was to be careful of the emperor and queen.

However, the emperor's drama is getting more and more sufficient, and the emperor cares about her even more, if Liang Ruojun is not moved, maybe she will be a little calmer, and the worst thing is that she fell in love with the emperor from the beginning.

"Prime Minister, the banquet in the Antai Hall has been prepared, the emperor is about to sit with the queen mother, the palace has come to invite the queen, and the lord has hurried over." Liang Ruojun was generous and said kindly, "Madam, I have prepared a gift, and there will be a palace maid to send it to your table, it is not a valuable thing, I hope you like it." ”

The third lady saluted and thanked her, not daring to say much, the husband and wife watched Liang Ruojun walk on the long bridge, but obviously the people in Shangyang Hall would not let her set foot on it, but she was not impatient and angry, and calmly accepted the queen's arrogance, but respectfully hoped that the palace people would convey her mind and ask the queen to attend the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet as soon as possible.

Qiu Zhenyu walked away with his wife, and the third lady said worriedly: "Master, has our queen really fallen out of favor?" ”

"Talk less." Qiu Zhenyu glanced at him coldly, he couldn't figure it out, could it be true?

And said that Min'er was already ready to go to Antai Hall for a banquet, and Qingya came to tell her that it was Qiu Zhenyu who met the concubine on the shore, Min'er listened silently, and inserted a golden hairpin into her bun by herself, seeing Qingya looking entangled on the side, she smiled and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Qingya squatted down, held Min'er's knees and asked, "Niangniang, are you and the emperor really okay?" ”

Min'er smiled: "What do you think?" ”

Qingya's eyes were wet, the emperor's words on the long bridge that night shocked her so much that she couldn't sleep all night, a few days have passed and she is still nervous, the palace and the palace are crazy, the relationship between the emperor and the queen has become cold, the emperor has not set foot in the Shangyang Palace for many days, and the queen no longer sends her to the Qingming Pavilion every day to guard, don't say that she doesn't know about others, she is also confused if she knows.

"It's okay, it's really okay." Min'er said, "Poor that person's scenery is only August, you can bear with it, after fifteen days, those who should stay stay and leave should go, and the emperor will give you an explanation." ”

This is ambiguous, could it be that the queen will also be the one who should go? Qingya is not any one of the emperors and queens after all, how can onlookers feel their feelings and trust.

On this side, the emperor was dressed neatly and was about to go to the Longevity Palace to welcome his mother to the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, Zhou Huai quietly appeared, handed a letter to the emperor, and said in a low voice: "The noble concubine Niangniang prepared a congratulatory gift for all the ladies today, which was found from the gift box handed to Mrs. Qiu. ”

Xiang Ye glanced at it: "Put it back as it is." He strode out and said with a relaxed expression, "No need anymore." ”

Thousands of miles away, the military and civilians inside and outside the Qiangshui Pass had fun, congratulating the Mid-Autumn Festival, Shen Zhe took the soldiers to send food and herbs to the people early in the morning, naturally Qin Zhuang sent them to him, he had a surplus, and the emperor deducted the grain and grass, not to mention the Qiangshui Pass.

When the cousins met again, the family had already set up a meal, although it was not as exquisite as the palace banquet, but it was lively enough. The brother raised his glass, but Qin Zhuang asked, "It's been a day, you haven't thought about it yet?" ”》≠》≠，

Shen Zhe said: "Brother, there will be an accident in the capital soon, and I can't go." The emperor wants to arrest Qiu Zhenyu and other traitorous ministers, and now I go to the capital, and it will only cause trouble. ”

Qin Zhuang's face changed greatly, and he calmed down after making up his mind: "The emperor is going to move Qiu Zhenyu?" ”

Shen Zhe was very calm: "Sooner or later, why is my brother making such a fuss?" ”

Qin Zhuang hurriedly said: "I know, it's just that the emperor has always been worried, and he hasn't done it for many years, so why did he suddenly ......"

Shen Zhe said: "The emperor has always been resolute in his work. ”

Qin Zhuang never expected that things would be so sudden, he became the one who couldn't sit still, now that others are here, something may happen at any time, God knows if the emperor has included him in this account, and I don't know if the emperor has noticed his relationship with Qiu Zhenyu.

"Cousin, after drinking this wine, you should go back to Kishu immediately." Shen Zhe said seriously, "I won't go back to the capital, Yunshang will be fine." ”
