Chapter 32: Empress Gao

Meat, cotton clothes, silver coins.

Keep sending money, no, but don't send money, no, grasp the degree of money, so that the soldiers can use their lives, blindly demand, do not give substantial rewards, fool once or twice, and no one will pay attention to you.

After the negotiation was completed, winter was coming, and it was necessary to prepare some supplies for the soldiers to spend the winter, which was Si Qinmi's suggestion, and asked Zhuang to consult Corporal Lixian and send it in person, so that every soldier knew him.

I have seen these soldiers before, but they are mainly in a queue, and now Zhuang Xun has begun to go room by room, giving meat and money to these soldiers who follow him to become a country.

500 people can't walk in a day, some just say two words, greetings two words, and let the attendants hand over the meat, so that the numbness and smile change, and the day passes, because there are many people, and some are on duty, and it took three days to finish all the guards.

After walking through these rewards, the gift adopted by Zhuang Xun is also proposing, it is over, and now it is time to ask for the name, please ask the matchmaker to ask the woman's name and birthday, and count the marriage of the two as evil or auspicious.

Nacai, asking for names, Najib, Najib, recruitment, invitation, and personal welcome, this process is indispensable for the big family, and if it is less, it may not be married.

"I'm so tired, tomorrow I'm going to go to the Taoist temple to ask for fortune telling, what if it's not suitable?" Leaning on Siqin Mi's arms, he was physically and mentally exhausted, but he was too tired.

"Then stuff money to make it easy to do, otherwise you think it's so easy to marry a wife? It's not that everyone is a concubine, a red thread will be married back by you, and the boudoir girl has to have some rituals. Siqin Mi kneaded Zhuang Xun's shoulder and said funny, looking at his hard work and a little funny, there was no taste, it just looked a little similar.

"That's the red line that the emperor of the netherworld has received, a few mortals in the world have done it, the lady is really not satisfied, I am destined to marry heaven and earth, why do you need this kind of redundant etiquette to increase the sense of ceremony." Zhuang Xun held Si Qinmi's jade hand and held it in his hand, but he was thinking about how to compensate Si Qinmi.

"Yes, a VIP can be compared to a hundred and ten guests, under the gods, witness the covenant between you and me, and live and die." Siqin Mi is also a little happy, she resisted this wedding, she felt that she was a guilty body, she was still a woman, and it was not okay to marry Zhuang Xun, but in the end she gave in, Zhuang Xun was too lovable, she wanted to help him and repay him.

And in the follow-up development, I fell in love with him without accident, so he said that when he talked about the past, he had a kind of nostalgic happiness.

"Don't pinch it, just let me lie down for a while, it's really comfortable, tired for a day, go home and lie in this pair of jade pillows, no tiredness is gone." His head shook from side to side, and Zhuang Xun said softly with the back of his head.

"You, it's really ......" The front is messy, I want to ask Zhuang inquire, but I am a little reluctant, my good husband, it is too late to hurt, how can I be willing to scold him, this kind of boudoir pleasure is not easy for her to admonish.

"You just lie down for a while, it's been hard work, three days, and now everyone knows that you gave them something." Siqin Mi leaned her chin on the top of Zhuang Xun's head, so that the soldiers could know Zhuang Xun and know who their current master was.

"Lady, how long will it take to get married?" Closing his eyes and grinning comfortably, Zhuang Xun now has a feeling of waiting for the express.

"It's a month, you're annoyed by the back, if you want to marry a girl like a flower and jade, you can bear with it." Rubbing the top of Zhuang Xun's forehead, Siqin Mi smiled at Zhuang Xun's eager attitude.

"Ah, so troublesome?" Zhuang Xun was stunned.

"Do you think you have to notify your relatives and friends to participate, do you think it's just a matter for the two of you?" Si Qinmi just finished reminding, and felt that what she said was not very good, so she lowered her head forward and kissed Zhuang Xun's forehead, because Zhuang Xun's family and relatives were not around, and it was too careless to say such things.

"It's also huh." Zhuang Xun didn't think so far-reaching, breathing in the charming orchid fragrance, his eyelids became heavier and heavier.

"Sleep, sleep." Coaxed Zhuang Xun to sleep, Si Qinmi's face showed a motherly and loving smile.

Carefully transferred Zhuang Xun to the bed and covered him with a quilt, Siqin Mi was extremely gentle and kissed Zhuang Xun's cheek.

She walked over to her desk, picked up the letter on the desk, and read it slowly, frowning as she went.

"King Qinghe, Prime Minister, General ......" chewed on these words, and Si Qinmi sighed.

"I hope everything goes well with this marriage." Si Qinmi also had a sense of powerlessness, the more she learned about Chengguo's intelligence, the more troublesome she felt, it was obviously a stable triangular structure, and the three forces checked and balanced each other.

But she looked at the intelligence, and felt that there was a storm brewing, with a kind of helplessness, too little information, only the tip of the iceberg, I don't know how much salinity the sea water is, at this moment a broken ship is useless to take the big iceberg of Chengguo, and I can't think of any good way, I can only choose to consolidate my own foundation and mend the broken ship.

"Is this the helplessness of Hualong, no, Huajiao, Lang Jun, you are still a koi now, I hope your luck can also bless us this time, and Huajiao will go well." Si Qinmi put down the letter in her hand and sat on the edge of the bed, thinking of the news that King Qinghe had just entered Beijing.

But just like Zhuang Xun looked at her, her mind would be calm, she looked at Zhuang Xun's face for a long time, she was also calm, fair skin, and she didn't work for a long time, so she mistook him for a monk at that time, and now, the more she looks at it, the more she likes it.

Gently lifting the quilt, Si Qinmi carefully hugged Zhuang Xun, relieved, no matter what, Lang Jun was by his side, I hope he was more careful.

Compared to noon, the couple who hugged the nap, on the other side, Fuqin Palace.

Through the curtain, there is a beautiful woman like a peony, wearing a phoenix crown, with a noble temperament, sitting in a precarious position, and a thousand manners.

This person is King Cheng's wife, Queen Gao, who is the mother of the crown prince.

"Dad, this matter is self-destructing the long wall, and my daughter does not agree." The beauty's eyes widened and she clenched her handkerchief.

It's too crazy, to kill the general of his country, and it is the general of the mighty Kyushu, Queen Gao felt for a while that the majestic father in front of her was a little strange.

"Queen Mother, if it is a long wall, this is a dangerous wall, and if it is not destroyed, it may hurt the noble son." Prime Minister Gao had already thought of the plan, and his daughter's reaction was the first to take the lead.

"Dad, what do you mean!" Empress Gao frowned, her eyes cloudy.

"You also watched Li Pingyuan's daughter before the expedition, what do you think?" Prime Minister Gao first changed the topic.

"Imagination, laughter." The harem of Empress Gao basically replaced the emperor's review of the twists and turns.

"But that's what he's going to do." Prime Minister Gao said firmly.

"Spread out into the acre, he is going to stand on the opposite side of the family, who in the world doesn't want to kill him!"

Speaking of the policy that Li Pingyuan planned to launch, Prime Minister Gao Cheng's face showed a fierce light, the biggest landlord in this country is not their Gao family in addition to the royal family.

This is no longer a simple political enemy, it is an undying mortal enemy, and it must be the kind that must be broken and scattered, so that the other party will not even be given a chance to crawl out of the ground.

"How can this be carried out, if you encounter a scene like Yu Guo, what will you do, my daughter thinks it's just a matter of fishing for fame."

Empress Gao didn't believe it and said that twenty years ago, King Yu's methods were quite gentle, which made the family jump and make a national rebellion, not to mention that Li Pingyuan himself is a member of the family, and the Li family is also a big family, how dare he become an enemy like everyone in the Yu country.

"Before, maybe everyone would flock to oppose it, but now it's different, Liping defeated Youguo in the Battle of Yuanxishui, who would dare to disobey him." Prime Minister Gao's words are very realistic, if you want to fight, Li Pingyuan is afraid that you will not dare to compete with him on the advantageous track.

This is completely different from the situation of Yu Guo, the anti-thieves supported by the family are too powerful, if you don't give in to the family, your national fortune will be ended, Li Pingyuan has the power of a big victory, whoever dares to act against the flag, no one dares to do it.

"But the illusory is a little illusory, and the apportionment of the mu can indeed provide an extra foundation for the country's tax revenue and stability."

Empress Gao is familiar with the scriptures and meanings, and she has approved so many twists and turns, although most of them are instructed by the emperor behind her back, but she can see at a glance the benefits of the restructuring of the family, that is, it is almost impossible to advance, after all, this is to cut the flesh of the vast majority of the officialdom.

Can people hide or hide, but the land is there, no one can move it, as long as the land is taxed, then every year just the tax will make Gao Guozhou's heart twitch.

But the woman in front of him is not only a daughter, but also the queen of Chengguo, and her son is still the prince of Chengguo, so he naturally can't say that he doesn't want to pay taxes.

"This is the biggest threat to the queen mother and the prince, just the current Li Pingyuan, with his military exploits, has become more and more prestigious, and the saints are all afraid, and then let him change the law to gain the support of the people, the prince is in danger." Prime Minister Gao is not alarmist, he just took out the interests of himself and the family, and specially left a threat to Queen Gao's mother and son.

"Can he still influence His Majesty's will, and let His Majesty go to Li Shaoyun to give birth to a dragon seed?" Her eyes are limited to Gong Dou, in the eyes of the queen, the harem is everything, and she can't see the truth of the world.

"If this is the case, it may still save the lives of your mother and son, but what if Li Pingyuan plans to establish himself as the king." Prime Minister Gao began to speculate about Li Pingyuan.

"Only if you want to be the emperor will you put forward this political opinion, after all, this is beneficial to the emperor and not to the family." Now that you have found a good target, you will naturally start splashing dirty water.

"He's going to be a thief?" Queen Gao's heart was shocked, her face was discolored, when she thought that Li Pingyuan was going to be a thief, her heart suddenly cooled, thinking that the Li family has always been a representative of the military world, before the Battle of Tidal Water, she was already very powerful, and after the Battle of Tidile, she didn't dare to think about it.

"Queen Mother, it's good that you understand, now is the time when he is most paralyzed and careless, if he doesn't get rid of it at this moment, there will be no more chance, will the Li family, who is plotting against him, leave the prince?" With verbal intimidation, Prime Minister Gao successfully frightened his daughter.

Queen Gao was through the curtain, her expression was cloudy, her eyes were slightly squinted, she was weighing the pros and cons of this matter, she was just a woman's family, thinking about her husband and son, especially her son was the future king.

After all, anyone with a discerning eye knows that it is impossible to succeed in cultivating immortals, even if there is really an immortal way in this world, it is impossible to favor Chengwang.

Thinking of Li Pingyuan's threat, she had the same reaction as the emperor and her husband, like a man's back.

"But General Li is gone, what should King Qinghe do? The king of Qinghe is strong and strong, and there are many supporters, without the deterrence of Li Pingyuan, who can calm down the rebellion. ”

The queen is still sober-minded, Li Pingyuan is a threat, isn't King Qinghe a threat, as King Cheng's brother, there are many families to support, in a sense, she is more of a threat than Li Pingyuan.

"So make a move to drive away the wolf." Prime Minister Gao pointed to the teacups on the two tables and said.

"Li Pingyuan's reputation is long, and we definitely can't do it, why don't you dump this kind of murder of the general to King Qinghe." Who is a wolf and who is a tiger has long been indistinguishable, everyone is calculating with you.

"Is that okay? King Qinghe is not a fool, he is stunned to harm Li Pingyuan, if he is a fool, the person next to him is not a fool. Empress Gao said without hope.

"But King Qinghe is indeed here, he has already gotten up from the fiefdom and is coming to Jidu, he can bear it, the family below him can't help it, watching Li Pingyuan take away the grain produced by their land."

Li Pingyuan's last recital, because of the joint review of the three palaces, basically every family knows the content, so this gang of people repeatedly made it difficult for Li Pingyuan on the front line, forcing Li Pingyuan to win quickly.

At the beginning, when they heard that Cheng Dieguan was lost, these people were crazy, after all, this meant that they could dispose of Li Pingyuan unscrupulously.

I never expected, I never expected, Li Pingyuan won, won a big victory, won the world's fame, won the whole way, won the land ceded by Yu State, these people disappeared.

Now Li Pingyuan, who carries the power of a great victory, if he wants to reform, these people will not be able to control it, and these people will also panic, including Prime Minister Gao.

That's why they found the emperor in this way, and asked the emperor to acquiesce to their actions against Li Ruxi, and sure enough, the emperor agreed, and everything went well.

"What's his plot? Suddenly to the thistle. "Empress Gao still wants to find out the facts.

"Said that he came back to worship the Queen Mother, but he actually came to Li Pingyuan, this is indeed an opportunity, King Qinghe has the intention and ability to murder Li Pingyuan, and now I respectfully ask the queen mother to order the palace guards to arrest the thief." Seeing that his daughter was almost convinced, Prime Minister Gao asked again.

"Who are you arresting? The Li family? Is it right to wait for this wedding? "No longer hesitate, since Li Pingyuan has become a threat, Queen Gao no longer hesitates.

"That's right, it's the Li family, but to kill the Li family, let King Qinghe kill it, we can't do it, otherwise the reputation will be rotten in the future." Prime Minister Gao calculated and said that he would make up for the shortcomings.

"Listen to my father, when it comes to the Li family's daughter, I heard that the envoy of this Yu country is short and thin, how can he subdue this daughter who fights the tiger." Queen Gao has never met Zhuang Xun, but there are many rumors about the height difference.

"It's true, but it's not so exaggerated, it's just mediocre, but compared to the tall Li Ruji, it looks short."
