Chapter Ninety-Three

"General, a letter from Liyang."

The guards flew off their horses and galloped quickly towards Meng Yi, who was checking the straight.

Meng Yi's movements paused slightly, and he turned to look at the guard, "Liyang? ”

The adjutant raised his eyelids slightly.

- It seems that it is not a letter from the princess.

If it is a princess, the guards should say that the princess is a letter, not a vague letter from Liyang.

Calculate the time, the princess has not written to the general for half a year, in the end, it is the feelings of a young man, it comes and goes quickly, three years ago he chased thousands of miles to the frontier, and after three years he broke off the correspondence, as if this person had never appeared in his life.

The adjutant general glanced at Meng Yi.

The general's brows moved slightly, and his expression remained the same, as if he didn't care if the person who wrote the letter was a princess or something else.

The lieutenant was in awe.

In the end, it is a first-class person around His Majesty, and this kind of open-mindedness alone can turn ordinary people into clowns.

"Yes, Oak Sun."

The guards leaned over, holding the letter in both hands, "A letter written by Han Shu Changshi to the general." ”

Meng Yi raised his hand to take it, tore open the seal, and opened the letter.

The adjutant general cautiously glanced at the letter in Meng Yi's hand.

The person who practices martial arts has a keen sense, and his eyesight is even better, and with just one glance, he can see the word Zhang Han on the letter.

Zhang Han?

The young general who was promoted by the princess and then made many miraculous feats in the southwest?

Although this person has military exploits, he is not from a noble background, his family background is simple, and his foundation is shallow, which is far easier to handle than those from a military general's family.

Life experience and talent are all good matches, and what is even more amazing is that this person has a peach blossom face that is as bright as a peach and plum, if it were not for the fierce killing pressure from the sea of blood in the corpse mountain, it would make people mistakenly think that Chu Feng Xiaoqi came from somewhere, it seems that such a person is guarding the princess's side, no wonder the princess left the general behind.

Although the general is good, but in the end there are many princesses, treat the princess like a brother and father, and have a lot of restraint on the princess, and when the love is strong, I feel that the discipline is for my own good, but if the affection is light, it is a constraint on myself, and it is a cage that I can't wait to escape.

The deputy general sighed, and suddenly made up a bloody drama in his brain.

Meng Yi held the letter in his hand and looked at the adjutant general, "Finished reading?" ”

"Look....... No! ”

The adjutant general's voice paused slightly, and then he reacted, "The last general hasn't seen anything!" ”

Are you kidding?

How can he read this kind of letter that was tragically dug up at the foot of the wall?

Not only could he not see, but he also had to pretend that he didn't know anything in order to maintain Shangfeng's poor and fragile self-esteem.

Meng Yi was noncommittal, "Hanshu asks me to go back." ”

"She said that the forces of the Liyang clan are intertwined, and the princess is alone, which is difficult to deal with."

Meng Yi handed the letter to the adjutant general.

The adjutant general looked at the letter and did not dare to answer it.

- Is this kind of letter with the secret affairs of the princess and the peak really something that people like him can read?

But Shang Feng didn't seem to hide that he didn't dare to see the contents of the letter, and the lieutenant hesitated for a while, then took the letter lightly and read it at a glance.

The adjutant general took the letter, Meng Yi withdrew his hand, put his hands behind his back, and his distant gaze fell on the straight road that was about to be completed.

"Although Zhang Han is by the princess's side, Zhang Han is young and vigorous in the end, and he can't handle the relationship between the clan relatives and the princess, so he wrote to invite me to go back and help the princess deal with Liyang government affairs."

Meng Yi spoke calmly.

The corners of the adjutant's mouth twitched slightly.

- Probably only they, the glorious generals, would think that this was Han Shu's invitation to help the princess deal with government affairs.

From his point of view, the letter written by Han Su Changshi is indeed a business-like attitude, the princess is not easy, the resistance of the old ministers of the Yan clan, and the unfavorable work of the Yan gentlemen, at a glance, it is easy to come to the conclusion that a princess came to Liyang, and it is difficult to come to the conclusion that the situation is difficult, after all, Han Shu does not mention the relationship between the princess and the general, and there is no charm in the words.

But in many cases, you can't look at the surface of the letter, but you have to look at the time and place of the letter.

When Han Shu Changshi wrote this letter, the princess entered Liyang, and there were only female guards around her, and the young general did not follow the left and right, but Zhang Han and the princess went to Liyang together.

A man with strong blood, a girl who is just beginning to fall in love, the two of them are accompanied day and night, there are no elders around them, and there is no restraint from the palace people, and it is easy to have some romantic affairs before and under the moon.

If it weren't for the fact that the gaffe gradually exceeded Han Shu's control, how could she write such a letter for help in such a matter?

You must know that the princess is not raised in the deep boudoir and does not know the dangers of the court, but the princess who was brought up by His Majesty.

Taking 10,000 steps back, the princess really couldn't resist the old ministers of Liyang, but the general was far away on the border, and when the general got the news and rushed to Liyang for eight hundred miles, the daylilies were cold, and she couldn't help the princess at all.

- If it is really an emergency, it is easier to ask for help from General Meng Tian, who is not far from Liyang, than for the general.

But the problem is that their general doesn't seem to understand Han Su's intention in writing this letter.

Or, the general understood, but because he had too many older princesses, or because he had no affection for the princess, he chose to ignore the implication of Han Su's words, and only regarded this letter as an ordinary request for help.

The adjutant general had a particularly mixed mood.

"General, Han Su Changshi is the princess's most confidant."

After pondering for a moment, the adjutant general spoke tentatively, "If it weren't for the princess's difficulty and inhumanity for outsiders, how could Changshi write such a letter to the general at this time?" ”

Meng Yi glanced at the lieutenant general, "You mean, suggesting that I go back?" ”

"The last general will not dare."

The adjutant general immediately said, "It's just that the last general feels that the princess at this time needs a general, and as for whether the general will return or not, it's all in the general's thoughts." ”

As for whether Meng Yi will go back, the deputy general is pessimistic.

At that time, the general had a good future, and would rather go to the border from Xianyang than continue to stay by the princess's side, and his thoughts have been revealed - the general only has family affection for the princess, and there is no love between men and women.

Leaving the princess is because the princess will grow up one day, and the general feels that he should not be a stumbling block on the road to the princess's growth, so he will resolutely come to the northern frontier.

If it weren't for the princess chasing after her thousands of miles here, I was afraid that the general would even break the letters, so that the princess would be completely accustomed to life without him, and let the princess completely get used to being alone, and grow up quickly without anyone's protection.

The princess has indeed grown.

When she chose to break through the palace gate with the young general, she had already grown up, she was no longer a little princess who was blessed by the elders and arranged by the elders for a lifetime, but grew edges and corners and her own ideas from the honor of brocade clothes and jade food.

She was no longer content to be arranged.

She is no longer indulged in the good of others.

She began to think independently about what the price of growth and gain and loss was, and then broke the comfort zone that His Majesty had given her, and resolutely pursued what she wanted.

Judging by the change in the princess, the general's departure was right.

If the general doesn't leave, the princess will always be the little princess who goes to the general when something happens, not a princess who can think about things independently and has the potential to be an heir.

The princess has grown up, and she is no longer as dependent on the general as before.

Her letters to the general, from three in January to one in March, and then to half a year without any news, she has become accustomed to life without a general.

- She no longer needs a general.

If the general does not go back this time, then the future of the princess will have nothing to do with the general.

The adjutant general breathed slightly.

"General, the princess needs you."

After a half-breath, the adjutant blurted out, "Go back!" ”

"If you don't go back, the next time Hanshu Changshi will send you no longer such a letter, but a letter from the princess that something good is coming!"

Meng Yi's eyelids jumped slightly.

"News that good things are coming for the princess?"

Meng Yi looked at the black straight road that was about to solidify, and the corners of his lips pursed into a line, "If that's the case, I don't have to go back." ”

The adjutant general had an instant heart attack, "General-"

"Look, the straight here is almost paved."

Meng Yi raised his finger slightly, pointing to the straight road, interrupting the lieutenant's unfinished words.

"The last general knows, the last general knows that the straight is about to be paved."

The lieutenant general was anxious, "The straight road is paved, your task is completed, you change to go back to help the princess!" ”

"General, why don't you go back?"

The adjutant general was puzzled, "General, the princess is a person, not an object. ”

"The object has been placed in Xianyang for ten years and eight years, it may still remain the same, but the princess is different, the princess is golden and jade, and the stars hold the moon, and there are countless people who want to please the princess, don't say ten years and eight years, and then go back in three or five years, the princess will be very different from before——"

The adjutant general's voice paused slightly.

In a trance, he somewhat understood why the general didn't go back.

The friendship of young people is the most straightforward, it comes and goes quickly, three years ago the love was in the bones, I can't wait to announce it to the world, three years later it is a stranger, even a letter is stingy, even if I go back, what is the interest?

Jealous of Zhang Han?

Or is it a weird yin and yang with the king?

That's not something his generals can do.

His general is a handful of snow on the Tianshan Mountain, a touch of moonlight in the night, a gentleman is like Yan, Junjing is like a ye, but also a breeze and a bright moon, uninhibited, he disdains and will not fall into the hero's shortness of breath and the love of children and daughters.

The lieutenant was silent for a moment.

"General, the Admiral understands what you mean."

The adjutant general sighed lightly, "But the last general still wants to advise you, the love of young people is like a storm, turbulent when it comes, and silent when it goes." ”

"Ordinary people say, don't want this kind of friendship."

"Relationships that can't last long are not good for themselves except to disturb people's minds, so many people disdain such friendships and never take them to heart."

"But General, no matter how fleeting it is, it really exists."

"The world complains that it is short-lived, but they don't know that it has consumed all its courage when it breaks through everything and flashes through the starry night."

Meng Yi's eyes narrowed slightly.

"Not everyone can live up to the promise of something that has no hope."

The adjutant said, "What's more, that person is a princess." ”

"She was born to be in the limelight and is the jewel of everyone's palm."

"In the princess's world, she can get what she wants, not if she tries her best and is still illusory."

*

"Princess, the thorough investigation of the demolition site you want, the minister has done all of it."

Gongzi Cheng presented all the information counted by several people.

The female officer, Lu Yan, took the information and quickly took it to Hehua.

Lu Fei is Lu Pheasant's own sister, another sharp-toothed and ambitious woman, Lu Pheasant entered the court as an official, and Lu Fei also wanted to participate in politics, but her talent was far inferior to her sister and stayed in Xianyang

When the assessment of Beijing officials fails, they can only be sent to the localities, starting from the countryside little by little.

But after all, she is a delicate girl raised by the richest man in the local area, and she is in the eyes of Duke Lu and Mrs. Lu, where are you willing to let her go to the village to live a hard life? If the princess can be in charge in the future, Lu Fei will be the counselor next to the princess, wouldn't it be much better than wasting time in the village to survive?

For Lu Pheasant's plea, Hehua responded.

After the death of Lu Pheasant's two brothers in history, the men of the Lu family were only left with straw bales, and they couldn't make up a brain in a group of straw bales, so they ended up with a full end of extinction when the advantage was obviously in their own circumstances.

Compared with the straw bale man of the Lu family, Lu Yan can be said to have inherited the political vision of his sister Lu Pheasant, saw the calculation of the meritorious general, and saw the hidden danger that the family was about to be wiped out.

As long as such a person gives her a little sunshine, she can bloom extremely gorgeous flowers.

So Hehua kept Lu Wei by his side, let her follow Han Shu to do things, and accumulate some political experience to cultivate talents for her future power.

Hehua flipped through the information and glanced at it a few times, these gentlemen are indeed doing things with their hearts, but they have no experience, and they are really limited by their abilities, and the things they give look like they are fooling people.

Fortunately in the misfortune, she is the one who reads the information.

- Thanks to the king's resignation, she has always been emotionally stable and tolerant of such things.

"You have a heart."

Hehua put down the information, "It's just that the data is not accurate enough, and there are many things missing." ”

Gongzi Cheng smiled embarrassedly, "Then go back and sort it out again?" ”

"Not necessarily."

Hehua raised his hand.

Lu Yan commanded the guards and brought up the information sent by the clan relatives and old ministers before.

A whole few large boxes of materials were placed in front of him, and then looking at the thin twenty or so volumes of materials he had sent, the faces of the princes were a little unbearable.

"Since the princess already has the information, why did she let us find out?"

Gongzijie's lame leg has not yet been raised, and he is a little dissatisfied when he sees that the information is carried by the guards.

- Isn't this a useless work for them?

Gongzi Tao hurriedly went to pull the sleeves of Gongzi's world.

It's all said that the scar has forgotten the pain, this person's leg is not healed, why do you forget the lesson of being thrown down from the restaurant by Zhang Han before?

The fall is still too light!

He should be dropped again, let him lie on the bed for a year and a half, and he can really learn a lesson.

Hehua said, "Because I want to see if your ability can support you to do this." ”

"You-"

As soon as the words came out, Gongzijie felt a huge pain in his legs, and the unfinished words came to an abrupt end, and he turned around and glared at the person who twisted him.

The purpose of entering is the face of Gongzi Tao who hates iron but not steel.

The boy almost wrote on his face, you don't want to pull us up if you want to die yourself.

The childe world was suffocated and shut up.

Okay, the princess is a princess, even if she does something wrong, she is right.

"Dare to ask the princess, have we passed the princess's assessment?"

Childe Cheng tentatively exited.

"Okay."

Hehua bowed, "Although my ability is not good, my courage is commendable, and I can barely be my right-hand man and promote the demolition for me." ”

The sons breathed a sigh of relief.

has been scolded for many years, and they have long had a clear understanding of their catties, they are rich idlers who eat and wait for death, and the elders want to take a bite when they see it.

But no matter how much they can't support the mud on the wall, they also have a heart that wants to prove themselves, not to mention that they are not a piece of mud, but the blood relatives of the emperor of the six-in-one system after the Great Qin clan, and there is such a powerful emperor in the clan, they are deeply proud and at the same time have an indescribable mood-

Your Majesty can, so they, can't they?

Of course, they will definitely not be able to do His Majesty's merits, they can govern Liyang well, it is the green smoke that can only come out of the collective fire of the ancestral tomb of the old Ying family, their requirements are not high, they just jumped out of the lifeless Liyang, became an official, and officially became a member of the officials of Daqin, instead of being disliked by the elders all their lives, and it is the mud that cannot support the wall in the eyes of the world.

Gongzicheng asked, "In that case, when is the princess going to be demolished?" ”

"When do you think it will?"

Hehua threw the question back to the sons.

Gongzi Cheng was asked.

He can do it, but when it comes to government affairs, he is smeared.

Childe Cheng looked at the Childe Realm.

Gongzi is the most capable person in their group, although the leg injury has not yet healed, but most of these materials are sorted out by him, and no one knows better than him when he can go to demolition.

Everyone's eyes fell on him, and Gongzijie reluctantly spoke, "Princess, the time is not yet ripe at this time. ”

"When I heard that there was compensation for the demolition, I wanted to sit on the ground and raise the price, otherwise I would not sign the demolition agreement."

"If we follow our approach, we can get them to sign the agreement under coercion and inducement."

"But now it's different, this matter is led by the princess, if we are too ruthless, it will not only affect the princess's reputation, but also let the princess and doctor in Xianyang find a reason to impeach the princess."

Hehua's eyes moved slightly.

Yes, she is a malleable talent, and it is not in vain that she left his life in the hands of Zhang Han.

The fall in the restaurant, if it was according to Zhang Han's usual methods, could kill Gongzijie in an instant, but Zhang Han saw her thoughts, so he retracted his strength, and only broke Gongzijie into a fracture, but did not take his life.

Thinking of this, Hehua couldn't help but look at Zhang Han.

Obviously, the time that has accompanied her is not as long as Wang Li, how can he understand her mind better than Wang Li? It was like a roundworm in her stomach, and with just one look from her, he could clearly know what she wanted to do.

When her eyes fell on Zhang Han, she realized that the man had been looking at her, and the man who had grown older had faded away from the youth of his youth, his figure became taller and taller, and his silhouette became sharper and sharper.

But such a fierce person who came over with a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood everywhere, looked at her with an extremely soft gaze, calm and focused, as if the world turmoil had nothing to do with him, and he could only see her alone in his eyes.

Hehua's eyelids jumped.

In a trance, she somewhat understood why she understood what she meant with a glance.

- He has only one world, and that world is her.

She is his whole world.

Hehua's heart skipped a beat.

“...... Therefore, in my opinion, the princess might as well put the demolition on hold for the time being, and make it look like she will give up this place and go to other places when she sees the greed of the Qiantou. ”

Childe's voice continued.

Hehua came back to his senses and retracted his gaze.

Childe became enlightened, "During this time, we will cooperate with the princess and go to the demolition site to find trouble, so that the Qiantou will mistakenly think that the princess has indeed given up on them, and our interests will be damaged, so we will go to find their trouble." ”

"Then the chiefs will be terrified, fearing our revenge, and fearing that the princess will indeed turn elsewhere."

"So, they didn't dare to sit on the ground anymore, but united to ask us to clear the relationship and make the princess change her mind."

Hehua bowed, "You are smart, and you have thought of the same place." ”

The childe world was overjoyed, and then he felt that what he was doing had meaning.

- Like that kind of thing where the princess obviously has information, but asks them to go door to door to check the information, he doesn't want to do it a second time!

It's like being played by the princess as a monkey.

On the case, the princess's personal guard sent down the topographic map of Liyang, and the prince dipped his pen in ink, drew a few areas, and pointed it to Hehuadao, "The princess can temporarily put her eyes on these places." ”

"Although the terrain is a bit remote, the straight road has been repaired, which will not affect the transportation of things, and it is only one or two days longer than the original place."

Hehua glanced at those places, which were the places she had agreed with Zhang Hanshu early in the morning, and agreed to the proposal of the childe world, "Yes." ”

"So let's get to work."

Gongzi Cheng immediately said, "The princess withdrew her staff, and we will spread the news to try to completely implement this matter by the end of this month." ”

On the same day, Hehua withdrew all the officials involved in the demolition.

On that day, the people in the demolition area were panicked, and the leaders of the Qianqian were restless.

"It's said that you don't want the lion to open your mouth, now it's okay, the princess is annoyed by you, don't demolish, we can only live by guarding the grain in the field!"

"Well, we didn't know the princess was so stingy."

"What stinginess? Everyone makes demands like you, and the cost of the princess's demolition will be tripled! ”

"So, what now?"

"Cold salad!"

"You have not only offended the princess, but also the sons."

"This is a good project for them to invite merit to the princess, and now it has all been broken up by you, so you just wait for them to take revenge!"

"The princess is reasonable, but these gentlemen don't make sense at all!"

On that day, all the sons gathered to make trouble.

On that day, the demolition site was overturned.

The man in the teahouse took a sip of tea and took in the farce outside the window.

Pedestrians in the teahouse are talking about it——

"Hey, people's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants, and they can take advantage of the east wind of demolition to soar, but they are too far off, and stealing chickens and rice by themselves is not a loss."

"I've heard that the princess has taken a fancy to several places outside the city, and in the past few days, she has started to let people investigate, and the leaders there are as happy as if they are something, saying that as long as they can be demolished, they can say anything, and they will accept whatever conditions the princess gives them."

"That's what smart people are."

"Demolition can not only get a sum of money, and when the house is built, you can also get a few houses, and if you build a factory in the original place, you can either rent out the house yourself, or open a shop by yourself to do the business of factory workers, isn't it much better than holding the old house and asking for a price?"

The man listened quietly to the gossip of the passers-by, with little expression on his face.

When a cup of tea bottomed out, he retracted his gaze, took out a golden melon seed, and rested it on the table of the teahouse.

The man got up and left.

"Hey, Lang Jun, I haven't looked for your money yet!"

Xiao Er picked up the golden melon seeds, put them in his mouth and bit them, and his teeth hurt for a while, so he hurriedly chased them out.

"No need to look for it."

The man rode away.

The twilight was deep, and the man arrived at the prefectural mansion.

There are not many people with Hehua, only stationed in the inner house, and the guards guarding outside the mansion are from Liyang, and they can't recognize the identity of the man, they only feel that this person has a glorious temperament, either rich or noble, most of them are nobles and ministers from Xianyang, this kind of person must not be offended, the guard stepped forward quickly, took the man's reins, and asked diligently, "The noble man has a big name?" ”

"You say, 'The old man is coming.'"

The man smiled softly, his voice clear. ：，n..，.
