The rebirth of the son-in-law

On the third day in Changsha, Song Zhi finally lived in a private house instead of a guest house.It has to be said that Dou Tu's work efficiency is very high. When he got the house deed, he immediately asked people to replace all the things inside with new ones. He also specially chose a relatively dry room for Song Zhi to stay in.

Song Zhi cleaned up Princess Xianning's room by herself, leaving Ming An to do the heavy work of moving things, and she handled cleaning the table and deciding how to arrange the room decoration.After a lot of work, Song Zhi changed all the colors of Princess Xianning's room to a uniformly cool color, the same color as Luan and Pavilion. Although it is very cold, it just looks neat and comfortable.

Her room is next door. After tossing Princess Xianning's room, there was not much movement in other places, only new supplies were replaced.Both Dou Tu and Ming An lived in the front yard, and the back yard became her and Princess Xianning's territory.

In the afternoon, when Chu Yan heard that they had moved to another place, she came to visit, feeling disgusted, and then asked her and Qu He to move to the princess mansion.Song Zhi declined, and pointed out that it is less than 10 minutes away from here to the Princess's Mansion, so there is no need to move around, this place is very good, and the County Lord can come anytime.

If she hadn't reminded Chu Yan that this place is very close to the Princess's Mansion, Chu Yan wouldn't have bought the next door to them and joined them together, and specially opened the side door so that they could pass by at any time.Of course, this is something.

Chu Yan didn't succeed and was very upset.Song Zhi thought for a while, then pulled her and said, "Mingzhi went out to investigate the case. I'm afraid we still can't solve the case today. I don't know if the king will blame her. I'm very worried about her, so I want to go to the palace to see the king."

Chu Yan originally wanted to agree, but remembered that the King of Changsha had important matters to deal with today, so he must not have time to meet Song Zhi, so he said to her: "You don't have to worry, the king is only putting pressure on the Tingwei Mansion, and it is definitely impossible to solve the case in three days. He knew very well in his heart that this was just a show to all the officials. If you want to enter the palace, wait a few days, the king has been having trouble sleeping and eating for the past two days, and he is overwhelmed by the successive incidents."

Song Zhi nodded and said, "It's because I didn't think carefully."

After the two talked for a while, Chu Yan went back to the mansion.At night, when Princess Xianning came back, she saw that the surroundings were completely new and everything was ready, and she felt a lot more relaxed.After all, there are many inconveniences in the guest house, and someone may hear them talking at any time.

Song Zhi cooked the dinner, and when Ming An said, Princess Xianning frowned, with a displeased expression on her face: "She is a sick person, how can she cook? She is ignorant, so are you ignorant too?"

Dou Tu, who was dangling from the side, grinned happily when he heard Ming An being reprimanded, and said gloatingly, "Oh, take a look, this is me going out to do some errands, otherwise why would there be such troubles at home? If it were me , tied her up early, and let her run around."

Princess Xianning smiled angrily: "You dare! Have you done your job well? Just laugh at others here."

Dou Tu leaned over, with a proud expression on his face: "I'm not talented, it's already been done."

Behind him was a man who popped his head out and bowed to Princess Xianning: "Princess's servant, I have seen the princess."

Princess Xianning had noticed him a long time ago, and when she saw him coming out, she smiled and asked him to get up: "What? Did you find out?"

"I've found out." I haven't seen him for a long time, Yu Du has tanned quite a bit, and he still looks gentle, refined and honest.

"Then have dinner first, and then discuss in detail in the study." Princess Xianning said to him.

"Here."

So Princess Xianning led the three of them to the hall, and Song Zhi was putting all the food on the food table by himself, no more, no less, just for five people, and each dish was mainly stir-fried.

This is the first time for Princess Xianning to see stir-fried dishes. In this era, cooking, cooking, steaming, and roasting are the main dishes, and there are very few stir-fried dishes.When everyone saw the bright colors of the dishes and smelled delicious, they immediately salivated and twitched their index fingers.

After taking their seats, Song Zhi was very happy to see Yu Du, scooped up a spoonful of wine himself, put it into Yu Du's glass, and invited him to drink.Yu Du naturally knew who Song Zhi was, so he took it and drank it down to show his gratitude.Song Zhi nodded and smiled, and poured a spoonful for Ming An, but skipped Dou Tu and sat back beside Princess Xianning.

Dou Tu made a cut, scooped up a large cup by himself, gulped down a sip, and yelled happily.

Song Zhi rolled his eyes and didn't bother to talk to him.Turning around to add a spoonful of wine to Princess Xianning, Yingying respectfully.Princess Xianning took it and raised her glass to the crowd, saying, "Thank you for your hard work, thank you for this cup."

"Don't dare, I will wait for the lord's birthday!" The three of them raised their glasses and drank together in unison.

After a round of drinking, Song Zhi suddenly asked, "Why didn't you see Bai Jiacheng?"

Ming An and Yu Du looked at each other, Ming An found it strange that Princess Xianning treats Song Zhi with a confidant, and even sent him to protect him, which shows that Song Zhi is very important, but it is so important that he doesn't know about Princess Xianning's plan, which inevitably makes people puzzled .Yu Du didn't understand, logically speaking, since Princess Xianning brought her son-in-law with her, how come Song Zhi didn't know anything about them?

For a while, no one spoke, and they all fell into an eerie silence.After a long while, Princess Xianning smiled softly and asked doubtfully, "Didn't I tell you?"

They were all silent, and Song Zhi couldn't help being embarrassed, feeling that he had asked a question that shouldn't be asked.Princess Xianning's question just relieved Song Zhi's embarrassment.She shook her head: "No."

Princess Xianning rubbed the center of her brows, and said helplessly: "I have a memory. Bai Liu was ordered to go to Xinye, and he was training soldiers and horses in Xinye County, training soldiers for the emperor. This is what His Majesty meant, and it was also what I meant. It turns out that Jiu Nian and Ming An It was in Xinye County, and they came after Bailiu took over Xinye. As for me coming to Changsha, there are two things. The first thing is to thoroughly investigate whether the Changsha Kingdom has colluded with the general, and the second thing is to follow His Majesty's order , to bring something to King Changsha."

It seems that the second thing is the most important, otherwise we only need to send Zhang He over, there is no need for Princess Xianning to come in person.Song Zhi understood, so she stopped asking no more.

The atmosphere became lively again, and after drinking and eating, Princess Xianning ordered Yu Du and Dou Tu to come to the study to discuss important matters.

"Ah Zhi, you come too." Princess Xianning took two steps, but found that Song Zhi hadn't followed, she turned her head and said to her.

Song Zhi was taken aback, and hesitated, "I still have something to do..." She felt that she shouldn't listen, especially after being surprised by Yu Du and others.

Princess Xianning looked at her calmly.

Under her gaze, Song Zhi lowered his head.

After a while, footsteps sounded, Princess Xianning walked away with Yu Du and Dou Tu, and even Ming An followed, only Song Zhi was left standing alone in the empty hall.

She somewhat regretted being angry with Princess Xianning.But she also feels that this is something that must be faced. It will happen sooner or later.

In the study room, Yu Du displayed all the evidence he had collected from the private sector in the past few days, and talked about what he saw and heard.

"So, the governor of Jingzhou is at fault?" Princess Xianning frowned, her face solemn.

Yu Du bowed and said: "When the Inspector of Jingzhou took office, he went to Changsha. At that time, King Xian was still there. There was a conflict with the Inspector of Jingzhou. The Inspector of Jingzhou hated King Xian deeply. After returning to Jiangling, he impeached King Xian again and again, but was rejected by some people in the court. Rejected. Later, King Xian passed away and his son ascended the throne, and the governor of Jingzhou spared no effort to criticize the King of Changsha. In the second year of Zhengping, three times in a row, he impeached the King of Changsha for his extravagant lewdness, which caused the people of Changsha to live in poverty."

"So that's how it is." Tapping the desk with her index finger, she pondered over the joints, "There is only the governor of Jingzhou, how can the court believe that the king of Changsha is fatuous and extravagant?"

"There is also the role of the prefect of Xiangyang." Yu Du sighed, "Actually, the king of Changsha is pitiful. He came to the throne at a young age, and his foundation is unstable. When the prefect of Xiangyang heard about it, he threatened the king of Changsha to send the second beautiful woman Ten names were given to him, but the king of Changsha refused, so the prefect of Xiangyang spread rumors and wrote a letter to agree with the governor of Jingzhou. In this way, the governor of Jingzhou and the prefect of Xiangyang, two important officials of Jingchu, said that the king of Changsha was arrogant. Who would dare to tell the truth? Naturally, they all turned against each other, and the reputation of King Changsha was naturally ruined."

Princess Xianning sighed worryingly: "They are all a bunch of villains. The fact that there are such thieves in the country is a sign of national ruin! Although Your Majesty has the ambition to rejuvenate, but the body is corrupted, the branches are self-contained, and there are no wise men near and far. There are no loyal ministers, and the matter has come to this, what can I do?"

After hearing this, Yu Du and Dou Tu looked at each other and smiled.Dou Tu didn't take it seriously and said: "Your Majesty can't be the master of ZTE, but someone can be the minister of ZTE. The princess is worried about the country, so why not follow the example of Zhou Gong and Yi Yin, who are in control of the power and rebel against their fate, and sweep away the small and busy courts. People, welcome the new emperor, and create a foundation for peace for all generations?"

Princess Xianning didn't say yes, but she didn't refute Dou Tu's audacity either.In fact, she was very clear that the emperor's body would not last long, at most three years, and the sky would definitely change.So the emperor gave her a choice, either to be her Xianning princess in a simple way and return to the fiefdom to be at ease, or to suppress the rebellion for him, clean up the Song family, the court, and the general, and then support her younger brother to be a sage monarch.Princess Xianning believed that it was impossible to return to the fiefdom and let others slaughter her, so she accepted the emperor's arrangement without hesitation, accumulated strength, waited for the opportunity, held the world in her hands little by little, and then quickly cleared away the obstacles.

However, among the two princes, one is cowardly and incompetent, the other is too smart, no matter how they choose, it is not a good choice.The King of Changsha looks good, but his lineage is too far away, and there are two princes around, so it is impossible for him to turn.

"Old year, what do you think?" Princess Xianning looked up, looking confident.

Yu Du cupped his hands, and said seriously: "I dare you, I have three questions, please answer my lord."

Princess Xianning found it interesting that these people like to ask questions to answer her questions, so she nodded and said with a smile: "You say."

"First, is it possible for the lord to give up everything now and return to Xianning to be a princess who doesn't care about worldly affairs?"

"Secondly, is the lord willing to give up everything he has now? Even if he is willing, can the lord watch all the people who follow the lord die tragically and be stigmatized?"

"Thirdly, is there any other choice for the lord? If you don't advance, you will retreat. The lord can't retreat, you can only advance. As for which step to advance, it is still unknown."
