Today is the 24th day of March in the first year of Yongjia (307), and the weather is good, the wind is beautiful, and the warm breeze is blowing.

Shao Xun, who had not slept all night, struggled to untie his armor with the help of Tang Jian. While feeling relaxed, he almost fell to the ground without strength.

Yang Xianrong saw this scene as soon as he went out.

She subconsciously bit her lip and didn't say anything.

"Meet the Empress." Shao Xun bowed.

The legs and feet are a little sore, it shouldn't be the reason why Lan Ji is paralyzed in the middle of the night this time, last night he wore armor and held the blade in the middle of the night, although he could sit down and rest, but he was really tired.

That's it, if you change to an ordinary soldier with insufficient training, most of them won't be able to carry it.

"Shao Qing has worked hard." Yang Xianrong's words today are much gentler, and he no longer has the same tone as he ate gunpowder yesterday.

"The queen invited the minister's study, and General Yang and General Chen have arrived." Shao Xun said.

I hope that his night's hardship has not been in vain, and the queen can calm down today and sit down to seriously analyze what to do next.

"Hmm." Yang Xianrong agreed softly.

Shao Xun immediately came to the study with Yang Xianrong.

Yang Man and Chen Yi hurriedly saluted.

The sheep returned the salute and sat down.

Shao Xun poured her a bowl of tea, brought a few plates of snacks, and put them in front of her.

Yang Xianrong lowered his head slightly, looked at the dim sum, and was silent.

"Queen, it's all your own people here, so the minister will say it directly." Shao Xun pondered for a moment and said, "The minister will first talk about what the queen is most concerned about. ”

Speaking of this, Shao Xun glanced at Yang Xianrong and said: "The queen has a favor with the ministers, and the ministers have always known the kindness of the ministers, so they will not send the queen back, the queen should not worry." ”

Yang Xianrong nodded.

She was willing to believe Shao Xun's words, because he had been on duty outside the room all night last night.

That night was the most restful sleep she had in years.

It seems that no matter what wind and waves are outside, it will not affect her.

She could hide in that small room, or read a book, or play the piano, or drink tea, or write and draw, or think about something else. No one could harm her, she didn't have to be afraid.

She suddenly hated Le Lanji even more.

After Shao Xun finished speaking, he looked at Yang Man and Chen Yi again, and saw that they didn't mean to speak, so he continued: "The minister thought carefully last night, the first emperor made a big trip, the new monarch ascended the throne, everything is complicated, and it is very sensitive, I am afraid that Taifu will not have the energy to take care of our side in a short time." ”

Shao Xun was sure when he said this.

When he does things, he gives people the impression that he is very domineering, as if he dares to do anything, and he is not a person who follows the rules.

He dared to rob such a big thing as the Xuchang arsenal.

The five thousand Xianbei cavalry in Chang'an City, he dared to kill.

Taifu, do you dare to bet that I will raise troops to Luo, expose your responsibility for killing the king, and make a mess of the situation?

Do you dare to lose both?

I'm just a person like Zhang Fang, I don't care about the impact at all, do you dare to bet?

In the end, Zhang Fang tried to kidnap the Son of Heaven and argued with Sima Hao, although he was desperately resisted by Shao Xun - in history, Zhang Fang's abduction of the Son of Heaven back to Chang'an was definitely not Sima Hao's idea, nor was it the shogunate's idea, because this would only bring huge damage to Sima Hao's reputation, which could only be Zhang Fang's own opinion.

Taifu, do you dare to let Queen Yang accuse you of killing the king?

It's just a discussion on the streets, and it's not accurate, who can ignore the queen's testimony?

How many ministers and generals are there in Luoyang now who suspect you of killing the king?

People's hearts are back, clear.

"I thought about it all night, too." Yang Man sighed and said, "Taifu should not dare to claim back the queen." In this way, it will only appear that he has a weak heart. Even if you really want to get rid of the hidden dangers, it will not be now, at least wait for a year and a half, and wait for the limelight to pass before starting. ”

"Someone in Luoyang came to sue this morning." Chen Yi also said: "The Son of Heaven has gone unclearly, and no one has been responsible until now. The medical officer, the imperial chef, and the palace people are all fine. Shangshu's right servant shot Xun Gong to investigate the matter thoroughly, but was rejected by the Taifu, only saying that the Son of Heaven was nearly fifty years old, his physical strength was exhausted, and he choked to death when he ate bread. ”

When Shao Xun heard this, he thought about it seriously.

The saying that eating bread and choking to death is a bit of a big thing and a small thing.

After all, no matter who poisoned the Son of Heaven, someone must be responsible, right? For such a big event, cooks and palace people can't afford to carry this pot, no one is a fool, don't insult everyone's IQ.

So, most of this is really Sima Yue's doing?

He's so damn......

"Taifu is very passive now." Shao Xun synthesized the news of Yang Man and Chen Yi, and said: "Even if no one announces it, he is burdened with everyone's suspicions, and the courtiers and forbidden troops are all suspicious of him, and his prestige is greatly damaged. Changing places, Taifu's best way now is to downplay this matter, and don't let people repeatedly mention the cause of the death of the Son of Heaven. The more people he mentioned, the more passive he became. In the end, there was no one to support him in Luoyang, so he could only be forced out of the town. ”

Leaving Luoyang and leaving the town is actually a means of dilution.

People will forget, and hot spots will fade.

The death of the first emperor is the current "headline", "swiping the screen" every day, and with the passage of time, it is spreading rapidly and fermenting.

The power of man lies in the gathering of the crowd, but when the crowd doubts you, your power is greatly weakened.

Now is not a chaotic time when the rules have completely dissipated, killing the monarch is something that no one can tolerate, and if you break the rules, you will have to suffer the backlash of the rules - the rules come from the collection of values of court officials, forbidden army generals, families, foreign uncles, and even ordinary people.

That is, there is no conclusive evidence, otherwise Sima Yue would have run away in embarrassment.

Therefore, going out of the town is a very good means to downplay this matter.

When you're out of people's sight, there's naturally less people to talk about.

After a year and a half, after the limelight has passed, you can continue to return to Luoyang to govern.

"But Taifu must hate the Yang family." Yang Man sighed helplessly.

"So the sheep must protect themselves in time." Shao Xun immediately hit the snake with the stick and said with a smile.

Yang Man glared at him.

"I still have money." Yang Xianrong put down the snack in his hand and said.

Yang Man glared at his sister again.

"I'm also hated by Taifu." Chen Yi smiled bitterly.

"General Chen, rest assured, Taifu will not dare to touch the general's family now." Shao Xun said: "On the contrary, he may also be afraid that someone will fish in troubled waters and murder the general's family." ”

Chen Yi nodded silently, but he was still a little uneasy.

"General Chen is from a famous family, I don't know what means of self-protection the Yingchuan Chen clan has?" Shao Xun didn't intend to let Chen Yi go, and asked directly.

"I know what you mean." Chen Yi sighed: "Today, I will go back to Yingchuan and feel sorry for Chen's interests." If Taifu really goes out of the town, most of them are Xuchang, and this matter must be observed. ”

"How can General Chen be allowed to return empty-handed?" Shao Xun said: "I would like to give 100 horses, so that I can speak well after I go back." If Yingchuan Chen wants to buy a horse, everything is negotiable. ”

Chen Yi gave his hand and expressed his gratitude.

"Sheep male, the horses of Chiping Muyuan have been obtained by Jisang, and the Taishan Goat Clan must also be short of horses." Shao Xun said again: "I am willing to give two hundred horses, and the sheep can find a way to send someone to escort them back." ”

Yang Man thanked him.

In fact, he was helpless. Here Shao Xun sent the horse to the Yang family, and the sheep showed that he gave money for nothing, is it a profit or a loss?

Shao Xun was very satisfied.

When Yang Xianrong first came yesterday, he was indeed a little at a loss. But after a night of careful thinking, he keenly realized that there are gains and losses in the world.

What he lost was Sima Yue's already small trust, and the relationship between the two became even more rigid and bad.

What I got was the opportunity to warm up with the Yingchuan Chen clan and the Taishan goat clan, at least some of their children and resources.

This opportunity is invaluable.

If it can really be implemented properly, the dilemma of the lack of domestic affairs personnel under his command will be improved to a certain extent.

"I guess—" Shao Xun finally said, "At most, Taifu's envoy will come to Liang County, and then you can see Taifu's true thoughts." ”

Yang Man and Chen Yi nodded slowly.

"In the next few days, I will send an order to Zhuwu Fort to transfer the main force of the Silver Spear Army to Liang County." Shao Xun said again: "Drill with the Yamen Army and the Long Sword Army." ”

At present, there are 5 buildings and 3,000 people in the Silver Spear Army, which are stationed in various dock forts for training.

It is not a good thing not to see each other for a long time, so I just took this opportunity to let each building mobilize some people to come over and exercise, and by the way, to test the results of their training over the past few months, mainly to see how the new recruits recruited in November and December last year were doing.

If necessary, he would even order the whole army to be vegetarian and cry to the Son of Heaven to see who would panic first.

Yang Xianrong was very happy, and a rare smile bloomed on his face.

She wanted to see what the Silver Spears looked like.

Shao Xun took so much money from himself, if he couldn't train a strong army, he would be punished to be on duty in Guangcheng Palace in the future.

Growing up, no one dared to refuse to give what I wanted to get.

After becoming the queen, she was wronged every day.

If the Silver Spear Army is well trained, then reward Shao Xun with another sum of money. He will definitely be grateful to Dade, and then realize that Le Lanji is a useless woman, who can only entertain people with her beauty and can't help at all.

After the plan was decided, Yang Man and Chen Yi said goodbye and left, they still had a lot to do.

And these things are also very important to Shao Xun.

He sensed certain opportunities, and the chances of them becoming reality were increasing.

If the Yingchuan Chen clan and the Taishan goat clan can really be pulled into the water, the military and political group he founded will usher in a qualitative change.

After Yang Man and Chen Yi left, the study room was empty.

Yang Xianrong picked up the snack and ate it gently.

Shao Xun glanced at her and asked, "How about the minister escorting the Empress Xingguangcheng Palace today?" ”

Yang Xianrong couldn't eat it anymore, and after hesitating for a while, he said, "Isn't there still a craftsman painting the shadow wall in Guangcheng Palace?" Let's go back when we're done. ”

She misses the feeling of having no dreams last night, and even eats the marrow and wants to go on like this.

"Nope." Shao Xun directly refused, and then looked at the almond-eyed sheep Xianrong, and persuaded bitterly: "The queen lives in the courtier's house, and it is okay for a short time, but it is criticized for a long time. In this way, after the end of the exercise, the minister will serve the queen Xingguangcheng Palace. ”

Yang Xianrong knew that what he said was the truth, so he could only agree sullenly.
