In the 29th year of Zhuangwu, the case of the eldest princess being poisoned and murdered was thoroughly investigated. There were more than [-] people involved in the case in the court. The censor made great achievements in exposing and investigating the case, and was promoted to censor Zhongcheng.

Wu Muci also fulfilled his previous promise, and gave Xu Mosheng, a medical girl, an abandoned courtyard behind Lingfeng Pavilion, and allowed her to conduct free clinics here, and the specific matters were under the jurisdiction of the Imperial Medical Bureau.

"Mo Sheng, your courtyard is not bad. The Eldest Princess treats you very well." Tong Yu praised after entering the door, looking around, "It's a little small, but I can have my own residence in this palace. How many people are envious."

Shen Junyi folded his arms around his chest, walked in behind Tongyu, curled his lips and said, "It's just two rooms like this, it's not as good as your Wenfu outside the palace." At the time of Shuixi, Tongyu was still a poor boy in the academy, and now he has opened a mansion in Baijing City, relying on his own ability to work hard to climb up the court.

"Brother Shen, I think you are jealous when you say this." Tong Yu turned her head and smiled at him.

"Who am I jealous of?" He asked back.

"The jealousy of the current sage," Tong Yu patted him on the shoulder and continued, "Oh, but to be honest, you should work hard. When can I call you General Shen? In the future, don't you still Want to marry the eldest princess?"

Shen Junyi quickly covered his mouth when he heard the words, "This is the palace, don't talk nonsense."

Hearing the commotion outside the house, Xu Mosheng knew it was the two of them who had come, so he quickly collected the medical books and went out to meet the guests. "I knew it was you who came from a long distance away." She stood at the door and greeted.

"Didn't it delay your diagnosis?" Tong Yu stepped forward and asked.

"What time is it? I'm very free on weekdays, so I'm not as busy as you are." She replied.

"Now it is rumored in the palace that the female apprentice of the medicine king's grandson is a little Bodhisattva." Shen Junyi looked Xu Mosheng up and down. Although he was still thin, his complexion was much better than when he was in Lingfeng Pavilion before, and he was more energetic than in those years.

Xu Mosheng smiled slightly, "Don't laugh at me, this celebration wine should have been eaten at Tongyu's mansion, it's not convenient for me to go out of the palace, I've wronged you two."

"He has already hosted a banquet outside the palace, and this meal is specially for you. I think his banquet can last until the end of the year." Shen Junyi said disdainfully, and entered the room.He looked around. It was a small room with few furnishings. There was a bed in the distance, a wardrobe, a tea table, and a lot of books around it. The place where she consulted, the room was filled with a faint smell of herbs.

"Where are you going to eat?" He opened his mouth and asked.

Xu Mosheng replied embarrassingly, "It's just me on weekdays, this place is enough, and the kitchen outside is also used for decocting medicine. I really can't entertain you when you come, otherwise..." She stopped and thought for a while , "Otherwise it's in this courtyard."

"Well! Okay! I think this is pretty good. It's transparent. Drinking wine, blowing the wind, admiring the moon, and meeting friends is the most joyful thing in the world." After Tong Yu finished speaking, she pulled Shen Junyi out of the room, " Go to the kitchen to get some food, what are you looking at in this girl's boudoir?"

Before the words were finished, a few court ladies came to the courtyard with food boxes, "See Lord Wen and Deputy General Shen", and they saluted, "This is a dish from Lingfeng Pavilion, where do you want to put it?"

The three of them were at a loss when they saw this, "Just put it on the table." Tong Yu pointed to the stone table in the courtyard and replied.The maid took out the food and wine from the food box, placed them on the table one by one, and then stepped back.

The two looked at Xu Mosheng, but she didn't know why, "I didn't invite the eldest princess, it was just the three of us as agreed," she explained.

Tongyu looked at the dishes on the stone table, all of which were vegetarian, "Whatever, since the reward is given, we will take it." After speaking, the three of them took their seats, "I said the princess treats you It’s not thin, you see, it still takes care of you to be a vegetarian.”

Xu Mosheng poured wine for the two of them with a smile, "Come, congratulate Tong Yu on his promotion with tea instead of wine."

After the three of them drank, Tong Yu waved his hand, "I really got a favor this time. You didn't say anything when you entered the palace, and you tried the poison yourself, and you almost died. Every time I think about it during the investigation I feel scared, in case something happens to you..." He didn't continue.

She smiled at Tongyu and comforted her, "I'm not doing well now. In case something happens, I've also explained to the princess, and I'll deal with this skin for you."

"Mo Sheng," Tong Yu didn't know what to say, and looked at his sister with distress, "If he didn't protect you well, how could Tong Yu have the face to take you back to Wangshan?"

"When awarding the reward, did you ask the eldest princess to exclude my sister's engagement?" Speaking of Wang Shan, Shen Junyi suddenly thought of this.

Mo Sheng nodded and poured wine for the two of them again.

Shen Junyi stared at her until Mo Sheng also turned his head to look at him, "Huh?" She saw that Junyi seemed to have something to say to her.

"My sister wrote to say that she is going to remarry." He said it calmly, as if he was telling her.

Xu Mosheng's face changed suddenly when he heard the words, and she was a little restless. She turned her head with dull eyes, picked up the teacup with trembling hands and took a sip of water, said nothing, and slowly closed her eyes. "Since the husband is free, he should." She said softly, as if she was talking to herself.

"Is it Mr. Xiao..." She gritted her teeth and asked again.

"As long as you say you love her, she will never marry someone else." Shen Junyi said to her, "Since the matter is over, why don't you go back to Wangshan?" He questioned.

Xu Mosheng shook his head, "Jun Yi," she opened her eyes, and these words made her eyes lose their focus, "You used to stop me for fear that I would rob your sister, but now you say that again, back then In that case, even if I say love, do you think she can disregard others and stay with me if she acts like a husband? Neither she nor I are like that. "

"The princess rewarded me. I can give her back her freedom and then apply for the bounty to return to Wangshan. How should I face her when I go back and tell her that I gambled with my life? I'm afraid she will blame her. When choosing someone, ask your heart first, love Love yourself first, I will go back but not now." After she finished speaking, she smiled wryly, "It seems that it is useless to talk about going back now..."

Seeing her like this, Shen Junyi drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, and laughed hahaha, "I lied to you." He couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

Xu Mosheng and Tong Yu looked at this person with round eyes, "Are you kidding me? You know how much she cares..." Tong Yu blamed.

"Who told her to tease me once before?" He looked at Xu Mosheng and confirmed with her again, "We are even, I learned from you, and you should also ask yourself, I just said that you are afraid of her getting married. "

"Scared!" Xu Mosheng turned back loudly, "Then the idea of ​​going back to snatch a kiss came into being!" Only then did she breathe a sigh of relief, her face full of helplessness.

"I'm afraid you'll go back quickly, I don't think you'll have this free clinic." Shen Junyi persuaded.

"Who allowed her to go back?" A majestic female voice came from outside, "You wait here." After speaking, the man entered the courtyard.

Seeing her coming, the three hurriedly stood up and saluted, "See the eldest princess."

"Get up. Add a glass of wine, and I'll be with you." After speaking, she sat down at the stone table in a dignified manner.

As soon as Wu Muci came, the three of them felt uncomfortable, and they didn't know what to talk about when they sat down, which was a bit awkward.

"I have the final say on when she will return to her hometown. You just need to take care of your own affairs." Wu Muci glanced at Shen Junyi and said.

Shen Junyi bowed his head and didn't say anything when he heard the words, he was afraid of this girl and liked him at the same time, he couldn't get close to her.

"Wen Yushi, you have taken care of the case this time, and Mu Ci respects you." After speaking, the two picked up the wine glasses and drank each other.

"Your Highness, you have praised me. If you hadn't trusted Tong Yu, this case would not have fallen to me, a new official, to investigate. I should be the one to say thank you." He complimented.

"What do you think of this case?" Wu Muci put down his glass and asked.

Tongyu thought for a while, the political affairs of the court should not be discussed here, but he looked around and saw that there were no outsiders, since the princess wanted to ask, he would answer truthfully. "This case started because of Concubine De. Her original intention was to fight for the eldest prince's power, but her confidant Li Shihuo joined forces. This person holds the military power, so he must have moved to change hands. Although the rebellious party is eliminated now, the position of the governor is vacant." , I am afraid that what the emperor is most anxious about right now is the military..."

Wu Muci smiled in satisfaction when she heard the words, this person really had foresight, she turned her head and asked Shen Junyi, "What do you think of this military deputy general Shen?"

Suddenly being asked by her, Shen Junyi was a little dazed. Seeing Tongyu winking at him, he said cautiously, "The last general will not be qualified for the position of governor."

As soon as these words came out, Xu Mosheng burst out laughing, and Tong Yu helplessly patted his face, "Your Highness sees this, brother Shen is joking again."

Seeing a table full of people like this, Shen Junyi didn't know what to do, so he drank a glass of wine in embarrassment, especially when he was embarrassed in front of Wu Muci again.

Tongyu could only make another rescue, "He should be good at leading troops to fight, but his strategy is not good." He stopped and thought for a moment, "Tongyu guesses what His Highness wants to ask is the question of the source of troops. The border wars have been going on for years, and raising soldiers in the government is a good idea." The imperial court has a lot of expenses, not to mention the loss of the national treasury, and the biggest hidden danger is that there is no army to defend the territory."

Wu Muci frowned and nodded, "Exactly, then do you have a countermeasure?"

Tong Yu thought for a while, then said two words cautiously, "reform."

"How is it?" Wu Muci listened attentively, the two people on the table were back and forth, and the two next to her could only listen.

"Looking at the past dynasties, both military households and recruiting soldiers have their own advantages and disadvantages. It is easy to recruit soldiers, and it is possible to recruit idle and strong men from the people, but how to raise soldiers is the key. Tong Yu believes that the exchange of banknotes for salt can be implemented. It is too time-consuming for the imperial court to transport food to the front line. It’s laborious, so it’s better to have wealthy businessmen from all over the country transport food to the front line nearby, and exchange the amount of food and grass transported to the military camp for salt, and all three parties can benefit.” After Tong Yu explained, seeing Wu Muci thinking, he added, “ Of course, this is just an idea of ​​Tongyu, and there are many things to implement in practice, and it needs to be carefully considered."

The people at the table were silent, Wu Muci thought for a while, and said, "Shen Junyi, follow Tongyu's idea, draft a document for the military reform, and submit it in one month."

"Me? Isn't that what he thought?" Shen Junyi quickly declined.

Wu Muci glared at him, "I asked you to do it, so don't shirk it." She also felt a little helpless in her heart, and she was also worried that this martial artist was so loyal and brave.

"Brother Shen, don't worry, isn't Tongyu still there?" Mo Sheng murmured to Shen Junyi in a low voice, Wu Muci's purpose is already obvious, if he doesn't understand this situation, he doesn't know when he will be able to get ahead in the palace.

"Okay!" Shen Junyi drank the wine as a promise.

Hearing his promise, Wu Muci stood up, "You guys go ahead, let the servants prepare for what is missing, I still have something to do."

The three of them got up and saw her off respectfully, and when they reached the gate of the courtyard, Wu Muci remembered something again, stopped and ordered, "At the beginning of next month, there will be a banquet in Lingfeng Pavilion for my birthday, all of you will come."

The three of them watched the thousand-gold body leave. "You stubborn donkey, she is doing it for your own good, don't be ungrateful, do it well." Tong Yu patted Jun Yi on the shoulder.

"Yes, otherwise when will you marry her." Mo Sheng also patted Shen Junyi on the shoulder.

Only the burly man in the middle had a sad face, but he still unconsciously looked at the back and smiled.
