Chapter 172: Meeting
On September 29, the emperor drove back to the palace, and Yu Zizhen and others also returned to the capital with the convoy.
September 30 is a rest day for Yu Zizhen and other companions.
On this day, Yu Zizhen did not stay in the house honestly, but went out to the east of the city early in the morning.
Outside an inconspicuous small temple in the east of the city, she met Mo Huaiyang, the Marquis of Huaiyuan.
Mo Huaiyang didn't expect Yu Zizhen to really find him accurately, and while he was surprised, he couldn't help but have a little more trust in what Yu Zizhen said to him in the hunting ground before.
The two greeted each other, and Mo Huaiyang invited Yu Zizhen into the temple for a while.
Yu Zizhen refused, and she motioned for Mo Huaiyang to get on the horse.
Although Mo Huaiyang didn't understand what he meant, he still rode a horse and jogged with her.
It wasn't until he was far away from the small temple and walked into a desert that Yu Zizhen slowed down and only let the horses pacing freely on the grass.
She looked around, then looked at Mo Huaiyang with a smile, "If you want to whisper, it's better to be in a place like this." ”
Mo Huaiyang's eyes were slightly dark, indeed, it was easier to avoid the so-called "walls with ears" in an empty wilderness than in a closed room.
He took a deep breath, "I wonder if the prince has any good plans to help solve this dilemma?" ”
"Two paths." Yu Zizhen didn't talk nonsense, since Mo Huaiyang asked directly, then she also directly focused on Mo Huaiyang, "One is that you fake your death and leave, and from now on the sky is far away, and you don't ask about everything in Kyoto." ”
Mo Huaiyang frowned, "What about the second one?" ”
Yu Zizhen raised his hand and threw a small wax pill to the other party, "Control the eldest princess of Anqing." ”
Mo Huaiyang's heart beat a few times, "This is?" ”
"Medicine." To be exact, it was actually one of the skills that was systematically mimicked into the shape of a pill at her request.
"By taking this medicine, you will be able to choose a man who will be obedient and loyal to you."
Mo Huaiyang subconsciously clenched the small wax pill in his palm, how could he sound like a Gu worm with this effect?
Reacted slowly and half a beat, Yu Zizhen didn't say that it was for the eldest princess of Anqing to eat, he asked Yu Zizhen in disbelief, "I eat?" ”
Yu Zizhen nodded, "With the bad relationship between the eldest princess of Anqing and you, even if you want to drug the eldest princess of Anqing, her people will not give you a chance, right?" ”
Mo Huaiyang thought about it, but he didn't understand a little, the drug acted on him, how could he make the eldest princess of Anqing obey and be loyal to him?
Or was Yu Zizhen originally using his desperate desire to get rid of the eldest princess of Anqing, and the effect of this medicine was actually to act on himself, so that he would obey Yu Zizhen's words from now on?
But it's not right, he is a green hat colt with no real power who is regarded as a laughing stock by everyone in Daqi, what can Yu Zizhen plot against him?
Seeing his hesitation and vigilance, Yu Zizhen smiled and stretched out his hand to him, "This is a rare and precious medicine that I finally asked for, if Master Hou is suspicious, it is better to choose to fake his death." ”
Mo Huaiyang was said by him, but he strengthened his determination to choose the second way.
He didn't want to fake his death, because it meant that he had to leave the capital and leave his parents, brothers, and nieces and nephews.
He clenched his hands, "Are there any restrictions on taking this medicine?" "For example, you have to take it before you see the eldest princess of Anqing.
Yu Zizhen shook his head, "When you figure it out, just pinch the wax pill directly." ”
After a pause, she said, "If you don't eat it, remember to give it back to me." ”
Mo Huaiyang was amused by her little appearance with a painful face, his two meetings with Yu Zizhen, only then did Yu Zizhen show an appearance that matched his age.
This kind of Yu Zizhen made Mo Huaiyang relax a lot, he pinched the wax pill open, and directly threw the small black pill inside into his mouth.
After waiting for a while, he didn't find anything unusual about him, and Mo Huaiyang's last breath was also relieved, and he arched his hand towards Yu Zizhen, "Thank you for your help." ”
Yu Zizhen smiled, "It's not gratuitous, in the future, I will ask Master Hou to do more to benefit the younger generations." ”
Mo Huaiyang was stunned.
Yu Zizhen said frankly, "The eldest princess of Anqing is also a big trouble for us and others. ”
Mo Huaiyang suddenly remembered the rumors that the eldest princess of Anqing embarrassed Yu Zizhen.
He had mixed feelings.
Thinking that he was an adult, and he was still a young and promising general, the eldest princess of Anqing spoiled him, he didn't have any act of resistance, and the only way he could think of to free himself and let his family not have to be ashamed of him anymore was suicide.
And Yu Zizhen, who is young, was able to decisively seek an alliance and deal with her after the eldest princess of Anqing found fault twice.
Mo Huaiyang sighed secretly, "The future is terrifying", and then nodded heavily and assured Yu Zizhen: "If you can really solve this dilemma in the future, you will be the first to look forward to the world." ”
If not, then he is still the green hat colt who was used as a laughing stock by everyone in Daqi before, and has no real power, and Yu Zizhen is the best for Yu Zizhen to keep a distance from him.
Yu Zizhen is still very confident in the production of the system, she smiled at Mo Huaiyang, "It is an honor for the younger generations to be able to meet Hou Ye by chance, run horses with Hou Ye, and discuss martial arts." ”
Mo Huaiyang will understand, "Although the son of the world is young, his talent is high, and in time, he will become a great weapon." ”
The two tacitly made a good statement, Yu Zizhen rode away and continued to run the horse, while Mo Huaiyang turned the horse's head and returned to the small temple where he lived temporarily.
The temple is a place he found for himself in order to avoid those troubles in the capital, because it is located in a remote area, and there are no monks with advanced Buddhism in the temple, so people in the capital will basically not come to the temple.
Even Yu Zizhen, this time, under the banner of running a horse in the eastern suburbs, "encountered" him outside the temple.
After returning to the palace, Yu Zizhen took out a pen and paper and began to take stock of her current manpower and wealth.
She employs people in an eclectic manner, whether it is a woman, a small person from the bottom of the society, or even a criminal who has been unjustly imprisoned, a slave who has been sold by the master's family, a ninth-rate, and a mixed-race child.
As long as the other party is talented and has enough affection for her, she will give them a suitable position and let them show their talents.
After accumulating for nearly two years, there is no shortage of talents under her command, but compared to what she has to do, this idea is completely insufficient.
Counting on her fingers, she not only needs more credible guards and private soldiers, but she also needs more people who can help her with advice, manage manpower, take care of the industry, train private troops, and increase food production. of people.
The more she thought about it, the more worried she became, Yu Zizhen couldn't help but raise her hand and grab her soft and fine black hair, until she caught herself into a chicken nest, and then she wrote down her latest thoughts on paper.
