According to the original meaning of Yuan Zhi, Qiu Guan is the abbreviation of Qiu Feng Secretary Official.

He borrowed the nickname of a famous actor in later generations, so it was more pleasant to call, nothing more.

After a while, the two walked over in their regular clothes, mainly because the prince wanted to have a drink and dinner with Cao Kesheng and give condolences.

Today in the court, he can calmly deal with Yang Du and others, and Yuan Zhi is of course shocking him.

The prince was followed by Jiang Wulang alone, surrounded by thousands of cow guards, following forward.

There are very few pedestrians on the road in the East Palace, except for the palace maid, that is, the eunuch.

When they saw the prince coming, they all bowed their heads and retreated.

There were a few little eunuchs who looked to be about ten years old, thin and weak, with their heads bowed to the side, looking very pitiful.

Alas...

Autumn Wind sighed lightly when he saw it.

"What's wrong, why sigh?" The prince asked, turning his head sideways.

"Weichen didn't know what to do, so he felt pitiful for them, and he also remembered the past... My sister Mingyue and I... The bitter past..."

Yuan Zhi was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and said casually:

"Forget the past, abandon your troubles, look forward, and believe that everything will be better."

Qiu Feng thought about it sideways, and said with a smile: "I'm just touching the scene, I usually feel good with His Highness, of course, I believe that everything in the future will be better, just occasionally..."

"How's Mingyue over there?" Yuan Zhi asked diversioned the topic.

"It's very good, Mr. Kong, they treat her well, she mainly supervises those students to memorize texts, poems, and practice writing and writing, if they don't do well, they will punish the students."

Autumn Wind looked proud.

I can't imagine what kind of mood a girl of eighteen or nineteen years old will be like when she is a teaching assistant, and many men older than her will be.

In ancient times, the idea of male power was even more serious.

"You two sisters are not bad, you have been taught by famous teachers since you were a child, and you have learned a lot of things, so that you can be reused by the imperial court, instead of being a coolie slave."

"Looking at the world, those girls who can't eat enough and don't have enough clothes abound, and some have to bear the bullying of their in-laws and husbands.

Qiu Feng said in a low voice: "Qiu Er also knows these troubles of women in the world. ”

"But Qiu'er believes that women in the world should get better and better in the future."

"Why?" Yuan Zhi asked rhetorically.

"Qiu'er feels that His Royal Highness is a wise man, and you respect women very much."

Autumn Wind had the courage to compliment.

But it's also heartfelt.

Yuan Zhi was stunned for a moment, then glared at Qiu Feng, and said angrily:

"You've learned how to shoot horses, too? This habit is not good, and you must be changed, and you will be punished to go back and copy three scriptures. ”

Qiu Feng immediately said aggrievedly: "But these days, I have been reading "Zizhi Tongjian". ”

"You can copy whatever you want, where is so much nonsense."

"Qiu'er doesn't dare."

“……”

While speaking, the prince approached the Xianglan Palace.

A little eunuch had already entered the door to tell Concubine Lan.

Today's Xianglan Hall is very lively.

Concubine Lan ushered in her father and brother who had been separated for almost a year in the morning, and when they met, they hugged their heads and cried.

Not long after Cao Kesheng's father and son left, his wife was killed, his daughter accidentally fell to the ground and had an abortion, and she also suffered sequelae, and her body was still recovering.

Thinking of this, Cao Kesheng was full of hatred for Cao Mansion, so he also used the power of the prince to spare no effort to attack Cao Mansion's power in the Hexi Corridor.

Now, the family of three has finally reunited, and there are endless topics, all talking about the prince's kindness.

"Concubine Yulan, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince seems to have come from the West Study to the Xianglan Palace." The eunuch hurried in to report it.

"Ah, the prince is here, let's go to the gate to greet him."

Concubine Lan, together with her father and brother, as well as the people of Xianglan Palace, were all welcoming His Royal Highness the Prince.

"See Your Highness as a concubine."

"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

“……”

Seeing the arrival of the crown prince, Concubine Lan greeted her with a salute, followed by Cao Kesheng, and then the other subordinates also knelt down.

Yuan Zhi personally helped Concubine Lan and Cao Kesheng's father and daughter, and said with a smile: "No courtesy, get up, let's go into the main hall to talk." ”

"Qiu Guan, let the Imperial Dining Room of the East Palace prepare some wine and food, and I want to pick up the wind and wash the dust for Lord Cao."

The autumn wind left in response.

After the politeness, Concubine Lan led the way, Yuan Zhi stepped into the hall first, and Cao Kesheng was slightly half a step behind to show his humility.

"Your Highness."

Cao Kesheng lowered his voice and said, "The preliminary work for cleaning up around the Hexi Corridor has been almost prepared, and it can be fully started when His Highness gives an order." ”

Yuan Zhi's footsteps paused slightly, and he immediately returned to normal.

The Western Turks have retreated to the original border, and the Zhang clan in Dunhuang has been wiped out.

During this period of time, Cao Kesheng has been sparing no effort to advance, and he understands the truth of striking while the iron is hot.

With Guo Rui and his expeditionary army to the west, the hostile forces did not dare to move.

"Very good, let's not talk about this matter today, and tomorrow the lonely general will be called over by the military hall such as Da Sima Guo Shuai, let's discuss it again, how about it?" Yuan Ze Dao.

"The minister obeys His Highness's arrangement."

Yuan Zhi smiled and nodded: "Today, our family only talks about family affairs, chatting, not talking about state affairs and political affairs, let's go." ”

"Your Highness, please."

The monarch and the ministers entered the main hall with a smile and sat down.

The palace maids served tea, and everyone drank tea and chatted first.

……

Two days later, the crown prince came to Cao's mansion to meet Cao Qichang, the Duke of Anguo, and after a few brief greetings, the two sides signed the "Memorandum of Understanding" that had been drawn up

The main idea of the memorandum:

Cao Fu gave up all the farce of fighting for the prince, never became an enemy of the prince, abided by the law, gave up control of the Bloody Hand, handed over all the money and account books of the Sihai Money Village, and handed over the underground military depot to the military hall.

From now on, the imperial court headed by the crown prince shall not pursue all the past crimes of the Cao Mansion and pardon the relevant personnel.

Afterwards, the prince informed the household department to go to receive the Sihai Qianzhuang, and the military department of the military hall went to receive the underground military warehouse.

At this point, the turmoil in Caofu has come to an end, and Cao Qichang is determined to withdraw from the stage of history, spend his old age in peace, and protect the safety of the Cao family.

The queen also returned to Funing Palace.

In the next few days, the prince finally lived a comfortable life.

First, Cao Fu, the biggest political enemy, finally surrendered to the prince, and Yuan Zhi invisibly picked up a big bargain.

The wealth of the Four Seas has not only enriched the state treasury, but also strongly supported the investment in the military, agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry, sideline fisheries, and prevention of natural disasters in this year's national economic development plan.

With the inclusion of the four seas money banks as state-owned assets, and then absorbing the input of the major chaebols such as the Jin merchants, the work of invigorating the economy, unifying weights and measures, and introducing a new currency has become less resistant.

In addition, the next step of rectification on the Western Regions side is in place, and in the second half of the year, at the end of the year at the latest, you can free up your hands to deal with the vassal king.

Next time, we will gradually implement the reduction of feudal domains.
