Fenglin Tianxia – Queen with a Thousand Pets

Lu Xiao looked at everything in front of him with a look of shock. The celebration camp, which was noisy and lively just now, turned into a Shura field in an instant. The blood melted the white snow, forming streams of bright red water. There were many corpses on the ground. They still had expressions of disbelief and shock, and some even had celebratory smiles.

In just an instant, the boy who looked like a celestial being killed all the people in the camp who were still celebrating the harvest. His beautiful face was spattered with blood, leaving his extremely beautiful but expressionless face. His face became even more eye-catching, and the word Rakshasa appeared in Lu Xiao's trembling heart.

This was not the first time he saw Ye Shiyi massacre. From the time he led these people into Dangxiang territory and began to use jewels to buy off those small tribes in the name of the great Zhou scribe who had taken refuge in Liang Hou, anyone who did not cooperate with them Those who cooperate will inevitably be attacked by teams wearing Liang Hou clan clothes in a few days.

He did tell them that this killing must be a deterrent, so it must be a bloody massacre, leaving no one behind, including the old and the weak! But actually seeing Ye Shiyi killing someone made him feel more timid every time.

Mr. Lu, Mr. Lu? The shout of the boy next to him made Lu Xiao come back to his senses. He turned around and asked, Yexue, what's the matter?

Ye Xue glanced at him and said with a smile: Why isn't this what you asked for, Mr. Lu? Can't you stand it?

Yes, very good, very good. Lu Xiao laughed, then touched his chin and considered whether he could go to Xingzhou.

These small tribes on the border have been provoked by them. You can consider going to Xingzhou to bribe those nobles who can't stand the Liang family. It would be best to kill a few of the leaders of the Iron Kites, huh? , the leader of the Iron Kites...

Lu Xiao unconsciously looked at Ye Shiyi again. Near the end of the year, the leaders of the Iron Kites will return to their own tribes. If I remember correctly, the tribes of two of the leaders are in Zhongning.

Ye Shiyi shook the long knife, shook off a drop of blood, and returned the knife to its sheath. Then he walked in the simple camp, checking tent after tent to see if there were any survivors.

The last tent was in the corner of the camp. The brown outer color distinguished it from the bright colors of the other tents. Seeing Ye Ying standing at the door with a confused look on his face, Ye Eleven took two steps forward and opened the tent's curtain. .

The tent was in disarray, and among the haystacks were a few Han girls who were tightly tied up. They were looking at them with big frightened eyes and whimpering sounds from their tied mouths.

Brother Eleven? Ye Ying looked at Ye Eleven with a questioning tone. When he saw Ye Eleven walking into the tent with a cold face, he sighed inwardly and followed suit.

There was a butter lamp burning in the tent, and under the light, the faces of the two people were clearly visible. The girls' faces suddenly showed joy. One girl struggled and rolled to Ye Shiyi's feet, rubbing her head against his leg with tears streaming down her face.

Ye Shiyi took a step back and said to Ye Ying: May I ask where they are from and how they were caught?

Ye Ying knelt down, dragged the girl a few steps away, removed the cloth from her mouth, and then said in a cold voice: Don't scream, please speak up!

Young hero, help me! The girl just shouted, but Ye Ying blocked the cloth back, then glanced at her and said, Nod if you can speak well.

Several girls looked at each other and unconsciously looked at a girl hiding in the back. The girl wore a double bun and was gorgeously dressed. Her beautiful face had been deformed due to fright. Seeing several people looking over, she nodded tremblingly. .

Ye Ying lifted her out, stared at her before taking the cloth and said, Don't scream! Seeing the girl nodding again, he took the cloth off her mouth.

The little girl is the granddaughter of Zhongshu Ling Zhang Xing. She was caught by these thieves when she went home to visit her uncle. Now she is rescued by the young hero. As long as the young hero sends us to Xingzhou, there will be severe retribution. The girl's face was pale and her voice was trembling. After saying that, he looked at Ye Shiyi who was standing at the door with pitiful and sad eyes.

Zhongshu ordered Zhang Xing? Ye Shiyi said with a cool smile, What a coincidence.

Young hero~ The girl cried out in surprise, and was about to throw herself into the arms of the beautiful boy. Various plots from story books flashed through her mind. Her favorite was a hero saving a beauty and getting married. Such a beautiful hero. , even if she is asked to elope, she is willing.

The sword flashed, and the girl's thrusts stopped. Looking at the long knife slowly drawn from her chest, the girl's eyes were full of fear and disbelief.

Zhongshu Ling Zhang Xing was Empress Dowager Liang's right-hand man, and the murder of his granddaughter caused an extraordinary stir. The nobles who were hostile to Empress Dowager Liang must have left traces when they captured these women, and then joined them in their camp. Being killed, there are many stories that can be told here.

However, he would kill such a beautiful Han girl whenever he asked. Lu Xiao looked at Ye Shiyi with a chill in his eyes. This young man would become a great weapon in the future, but he would be a murderous weapon.

Overnight, when ten coins turned into three coins, from top to bottom, people who had not received the news were hit hard, and the blow to ordinary people was even greater. Some merchants even kept all the money they had at home to save trouble. If you pay ten yuan, this is equivalent to a direct loss of 70%. In addition to the overall increase in salt tax, tea tax, commercial tax, and newly added municipal and local taxes, etc., there are ten merchants hanging in Yancheng, the place where Huaiyan salt is produced. Several households.

Thieves are everywhere, and more and more people are gathering to riot.

As for Bianjing, towards the end of the year, it is still a prosperous scene.

Dinghu Lake has been covered with thin ice. In the crystal clear ice and snow, a few old plum blossoms are blooming lively, adding a little vitality to the lakeside.

The room was warmed by the charcoal fire, making people feel more tired. Ling Qingyu opened some windows and let the chilly wind blow in, making him feel much clearer.

Zhu Weili changed his job as a teacher again. The places he walked through were always calmer than other places, just like the tranquility before a rainstorm. The bandits and refugees in various places were revolting, which also gave those separatist forces more use of troops. Excuse, amidst the great excitement in Bianjing, various places have already been like Ding Lake, just a thin layer of ice.

Twelve battalions of the imperial guards, the fourth battalion went to the eldest prince, the fifth battalion went to the second prince, and the third battalion is still wavering, but the imperial guards in the palace are still in the hands of Emperor Xiwen. Cheng Jia leaned on the soft couch. Softly rely on the road.

His voice was low and lacked strength. Ling Qingyu frowned as he looked at him. His body suffered severe losses in July. Although Alan had been recuperating him, writing national policies was too tiring. Not only did his body not After adjusting, there are signs of continued losses.

Cheng Jia, there is no rush to write the national policy at this moment. Let's rest for some time before writing it. After closing the window, Ling Qingyu lowered his head and groped in the box and said at the same time.

Cheng Jia just smiled and didn't answer. Seeing that she took out a piece of jade after touching it for a long time, he asked, What is this?

Nuan Yu, it should be good for your body. Putting the Nuan Jade Pendant in Cheng Jia's hand, Ling Qingyu turned to pick up the letter from Xiao Se. The child grew up really fast this year. Because he had made preparations in advance, the loss of ten coins did not cause any damage to the Ling family and the Xiao family. Well, it seemed that the loss to Zhao Mingliang was relatively large. She remembered that the political affairs hall gave Zhao Mingliang a handout at that time. There were 6 million guan equivalent to ten coins, but Zhao Mingliang did not distribute these. The 6 million guan became 1.8 million guan. According to the current situation of devaluation of banknotes, I am afraid that Zhao Mingliang will jump. Bar?

The warm jade brought a touch of warmth to her heart. Cheng Jia watched her sitting in front of the window, muttering in a low voice while writing and drawing, and a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

Meng Su has already taken action in the northwest, and Bianjing has begun to encroach on Dangxiang's territory without even noticing it. Zhu Weili has persuaded three of the six vassal kings. Some of the refugees who are revolting are in Liuyun Village and Heifeng Village. Under the instigation of Zhai Zhai, he began to dominate the mountain and became the king. Talents from the Ling family's own school have begun to be sent out. There are many people who passed the autumn examination this year. I am afraid that there will be many who will challenge the spring examination next year. Moreover, the Ling family is very interested in Sending clothes, food and money to poor students, and providing subsidies to families who died in the war not only gained an excellent reputation, but also attracted a group of very useful people.

It’s just that after the world is established, it still needs to be managed and governed, but it cannot be carried out in the specific way in her head. It is still necessary to carry out reforms step by step on the current basis, and to have a whole new set of systems and structures. The national policy he wrote , prepared for that day.

You still have to hurry up. The battle between the eldest prince and the second prince has reached a fever pitch. If Cheng Xiang and Emperor Xiwen want to push the fourth prince away at this time, then they must unite one of them to suppress the other. There will be major changes in officials in the next year. I'm afraid it's indispensable.

Qingyu, Cheng Jia called, Ling Qingyu responded, then looked back at him and asked, What's wrong?

Cheng Jia waved, and Ling Qingyu approached the soft couch with confusion. He pulled her into his arms. Without waiting for her to resist, he pecked her lips. Just as he was about to go deeper, a clearing sound came from the door. Then Ying Jiu's deep voice said: Cheng Jia, Mei Donghua is looking for you.

After kissing Ling Qingyu's lips deeply, Cheng Jia let her go and got down on the soft couch. While putting on his coat, he said, Would you like to go to Daxiangguo Temple tomorrow?

After the Autumn Hunting, no one in the palace asked for trouble. Officials and their families who had made friends during the Autumn Hunting would occasionally visit. If they wanted to go out to play, Alan and Alan would put on masks and go out. They would watch the moon and flowers at home and listen to Sum's singing. The music of the piano and Wang Xuanzhi's flute occasionally played, and the life was indeed not boring, but it was just as lively as the Daxiangguo Temple, so I naturally wanted to go there.

Seeing her nodding, Cheng Jia put on her fur coat and walked out, saying, Then I'll ask for leave in the next few days.

Seeing Cheng Jia in green clothes and white fur walking into the yard, Mei Donghua snorted unconsciously, thinking that Cheng Jia's clothes were getting more and more luxurious. If he continued like this, he might become an adopted pretty boy. Then he thought of how the Ling family had just gone to Bian. Jing had done several good deeds, so he suppressed the sarcasm that came to his lips.

After returning from Qiu Shou, Cheng Jia no longer tried to hide it from a few familiar friends. He did not receive them at Jianjia Courtyard, but at Qi'ao Courtyard next to Guanguan Courtyard. This was tantamount to indirectly telling them that I Just having an affair with Ling Qingyu.

When they first found out about it, Mei Donghua and others were very shocked and angry, thinking that Ling Qingyu had led Cheng Jia into trouble. They expressed their utmost contempt for her, and one time, Mei Donghua directly said that the child could not It belongs to you, right? That time, Cheng Jia, who has always been gentle and elegant, punched Mei Donghua violently, and then made it clear that if you disrespect her again, then our many years of friendship will be ruined. That's it.

In the end, it was Su Wen who smoothed things over and told Mei Donghua and Fan Zheng privately that Cheng Jia was originally a romantic and talented man, and even if he was confused now, he would wake up in the future, so just treat him as a foreign wife.

It's just that when Cheng Jia occasionally invited this outsider to get along with them, he often said shocking things. Seeing the stronger emotions in Cheng Jia's eyes, Mei Donghua knew that for Cheng Jia, For him, this is definitely not an outhouse that can be thrown away in the future, but a person he sincerely treats in his heart. Considering that this person is indeed remarkable in his behavior and does not cause trouble outside, not to mention, the inner feelings of his friends There is no need to intervene in the hospital, so it can be regarded as accepting this fact.

Su Ce and Wang Xuanzhi never raised any objection to this matter. After Su Ce and Han Xuan got together, they had begun to come into contact with some affairs of the Ling family. They also accidentally learned that Zhu Weili had returned, and they felt somewhat sad. After understanding some things, after reading the first few chapters of the national policy made by Cheng Jia, Su Ce had a talk with Cheng Jiashen. After returning, he sent his family members back to his hometown, and then brought some students from the Ling Family School to divide. Han Ju went directly to the farm for part of his work.

After Wang Xuanzhi resigned from the Xicheng Office, when he returned to Beijing to wait for his post, he followed Cheng Jia to occupy the Zijin Courtyard in Dingguo Palace. He occasionally came to stay for a day or two and discussed some land taxes and other matters with Cheng Jia. , in November, the magistrate of Yingzhou, northwest of Beijing, suddenly died of illness. Wang Xuanzhi applied for an official position here. Before taking office, he stayed in Zijin Courtyard for a few days. In addition to discussing with Cheng Jia, he also cooperated with Cheng Jia. He bought several pieces of gold worth ten thousand taels, which was regarded as repaying Ling Qingyu's debt.

After taking off his fur coat from the desk, Cheng Jia glanced at Mei Donghua, sat on the chair, and said, Why are you free today?

He Li should be arriving in the next two days. The fourth prince wants to meet them. In what name do you think it should be? Mei Donghua said without any further chatter.

What do you want? Cheng Jia put tea on the painting table and asked. After the Autumn Hunting, the Qingliu faction, under the leadership of Cheng Xiang and Mei Yushi, began to secretly support the fourth prince. However, they were unable to enter the Imperial Guard Camp, so they thought of Yang Zhao's old troops stationed at Heishui Pass and Tianjing Pass. They have never been able to find a suitable reason to prevent Dong Xiang and Wang Xiang from finding out that He Li and Gao Liu came to Bianjing, so they can only wait until the end of the year when their posts are renewed.

You must let them live in Duke Dingguo's residence then. On the 22nd, we will hold a small poetry gathering and invite the fourth princes to come and let them meet privately.

Cheng Jia smiled, nodded and said, That's it, okay, I'll tell Qing Yu.

Qiao Mu, I heard that after the Autumn Hunting incident, the second prince frequently sent people to Heishui Pass to offer huge benefits. Now Heli's troops at Heishui Pass have reached 150,000. Are you really sure that woman can do it with just one sentence? To make He Li abandon the second prince? Mei Donghua asked, with obvious doubts in his words.

Cheng Jia lowered his eyes and said, So it depends on what guarantee the emperor and the fourth prince can give He Li and the others. All Qingyu can do is make them willing to come and meet.

Mei Donghua nodded, sighed and said: Actually, the position of prince will be occupied by a virtuous person. This is a matter decided by the emperor and courtiers. Now we have to rely on the power of warriors. Alas, when the fourth prince ascends to the throne, After that, I'm afraid that another Zhao family will be created, so we'd better take precautions in advance.

Cheng Jia couldn't help but laughed and said: Donghua said so, you don't have to borrow the power of the military and want to kill the donkey before you succeed. Let me remind you first, after Yang Zhao's death, the people in Heishui Pass can't do it. Not that easy to fool.”

Mei Donghua frowned and said, How do you say this? It's not that the county magistrate's order from Prime Minister Dong was a conspiracy by the Liao people. It has nothing to do with the court or Prime Minister Dong. It's just that the Liao people are hateful.

Looking at Mei Donghua, Cheng Jia suddenly thought of Ling Qingyu's evaluation of his friends. Among them, Mei Donghua was one of those people who knew the truth but wanted to whitewash peace just for his own sake. Those principles that seem to be passionate about serving the country and the people are actually the masters of bad things. She will never use this kind of person.

What conditions does the emperor intend to use to win over He Li and Gao Liu? Cheng Jia asked.

Princess Huaying is the daughter of Concubine Li, and she has always been close to the fourth prince. The emperor wants to divorce He and be promoted to the general of Zhenguo, leading the commanders of Hedong Road and Shaanxi Road. Gao Liu is promoted to General Mingwei. , Tianjing Pass can add another 30,000 troops, and it is possible that Hulao Pass will also fall under his jurisdiction. Mei Donghua paused and said: Taifu Fu has agreed to advance and retreat together with the Prime Minister, and is willing to put his My granddaughter Fu Xiyan is betrothed to Gao Liu as his wife.

Well! Fu Xiyan? Cheng Jia was slightly startled. Remember that time when the woman who was scolded by him went back and hanged her again, gave her to Gao Liu? Haha, it will be interesting to see their faces when the time comes.

Isn't it appropriate? Mei Donghua asked after seeing the joking look on Cheng Jia's face.

It would be best to just increase their ranks and grant marriages. This is not a good thing for them. The reputation of the princess in the harem is not good to begin with. Fu Xiyan is the one who wrote poems to criticize Qing Yu. What do you think of those two people? Do you think the marriage is a reward for them? Cheng Jia laughed. After the Autumn Hunt, all kinds of rumors about Princess Huayang and Princess Huaqing were flying everywhere. Even the details of when and where they met were dug up. Princess Huayang was expelled from the palace and imprisoned in her own princess. In the palace, Princess Huaqing was also imprisoned in the palace.

You are just a warrior, but you can be the grandson-in-law of the Prince Consort and the Grand Tutor. Do you think you have wronged them? If the Fourth Prince hadn't requested it, the Emperor and the Prime Minister wouldn't have wanted to ruin those two girls. Mei Donghua said angrily.

Cheng Jia shook his head slightly and said with a smile: That's it, so be it.
