spring as old

The twelfth lunar month is always the busiest time of the year.The palace and the mansion are all preparing for the new year's needs, and the government offices in the imperial city are busy to understand the year's events, and then seal the festival.

This year is slightly different, as the battle in Liangzhou is approaching day by day, a tense tension gradually spread in the court.

The rebellion of thousands of people dragged on for nearly a month without any results. Except for a small victory at the beginning, there was no sound after that, as if the entire Liangzhou disappeared out of thin air.

The princes in the court looked at each other, and then they became vigilant. The emperor issued an edict to the frontier army to prepare for the war.

The [-] elite army was completely defeated against the [-] Qiang Rong. Isn't this a national humiliation?

Pu Yang didn't care about it, and hurried to Weixiu courtyard.

But ten days have not arrived, the small courtyard is still the same as before, but Puyang feels a little strange, when entering the door, some servants saw her coming, and rushed into the room to report.

Pu Yang's steps were steady and he walked forward quickly, but his heart gradually tightened, with an indescribable uneasiness.

Wei Xiu came out soon.

I haven't seen her for a few days, but she still has a calm demeanor, free and easy and suave.

The wheelchair stopped under the eaves, and when Puyang approached, Wei Xiufang calmly bowed down: "I have seen Your Highness."

Pu Yang stopped in front of her, it was clearly someone who had been in his heart for a long time, after not seeing her for many days, he felt a sense of strangeness full of alienation.Pu Yang pursed his lips, embarrassment flashed across his eyes that were as gentle as water, and then he said calmly: "I have something important to discuss with my husband."

Wei Xiu straightened up, looked at her, and made an invitation: "Your Highness please."

It's freezing cold outside, so it's really inappropriate to talk about it in detail.

The two took each other into the inner room.

The interior is as warm as spring, which is quite different from the outside.When the maid served tea, Wei Xiu ordered everyone to retreat.

"Your Highness is puzzled, but it's okay."

There were only two of them left in the room.

She hadn't arrived for more than ten days, and Puyang also felt uneasy before coming here. If the husband asked her why she hadn't seen her for so many days, how should she answer properly? .

Unexpectedly, at this point, the husband is the same as before, and he doesn't seem to care why she disappeared.

It is inevitable that Pu Yang will be disappointed, Mr. only treats her as a lord, there is nothing wrong with such an attitude, it is just that she is looking forward to it deliberately.

"The gentleman gave me wine that day, but I haven't thanked him face to face." Pu Yang said indifferently.

Wei Xiu smiled: "It's just a trivial matter. Can Mr. Jiang catch His Highness' eyes?"

Jiang Zhen's talent can enter the court and govern the world, and he is enough to be a famous minister of a generation.After a few days of contact with Pu Yang, he knew that this person has his own set of principles, and he cannot be driven by others.

"If Jiang Zhen enters the imperial court, he will definitely rise to the top." Pu Yang said, as long as His Majesty has seen Jiang Zhen, he will treat Jiang Zhen as if he promoted Zhang Daozhi.

The person was chosen by Wei Xiu, Wei Xiu naturally knew it well, seeing that Pu Yang hit the nail on the head, she knew that she had made a decision, so she didn't point out how to use this person.

"It's good to be in the eyes of His Highness." Wei Xiu smiled softly, "After spring, there will be a group of people who will vote for His Highness, Your Highness please treat them solemnly."

Pu Yang naturally agreed.

Wei Xiu's every move is the same as usual, and in Puyang's eyes, her every frown and smile are more eye-catching than before.

Pu Yang glanced at Wei Xiu, then restrained himself, turned his head to look elsewhere pretending to be inadvertent, and said in his mouth the purpose of this visit: "I just received the report, led the army and was defeated. Rong Di responded, and it is roughly estimated that the number of people has reached more than [-]."

"If the small fire is not extinguished immediately, it will naturally spread. This is expected." Wei Xiu said.

Now that the Qiang Rong has grown stronger, it is no longer as easy to deal with as it was at the beginning.Pu Yang knew the situation, the next battle was beyond her control, and the court would not despise it as before, the rebellion would end sooner or later, but she felt uncomfortable.A fragility flashed in Pu Yang's eyes, and it was only for a moment, then it disappeared in a blink of an eye.

But in this short moment, it completely fell into Wei Xiu's eyes.

Wei Xiu hesitated, thought for a while, and persuaded: "There has been no war in the northwest for decades, Liangzhou is no longer the Liangzhou of the past. I have traveled to Liangzhou in person, and I know that the power of drawing troops is not enough to quell the rebellion. I don’t know. It’s no wonder Your Highness, you have done your best, so don’t worry too much about it.”

Pu Yang was sad, because she clearly had a suggestion from her husband, but no one listened to her opinion.People speak lightly, but that's it.

"I'm afraid the Great Wei will lose more soldiers. And the people of Liangzhou..." Due to the defeat of Qianwu, the number of people who died will definitely increase.Born in troubled times, with humans as dogs, living is the hardest thing.

Luoyang is prosperous, Liangzhou is desolate, the people who led this war are prosperous, and because of the defeat, they hid in Tibet, far away from their homeland, and even those who lost their lives innocently, do not know when they will be able to rebuild their homes.

She is not a good person, Wei Xiu knew from the very beginning that this princess was not a merciless person, she was able to escape the assassination of King Jin because she changed clothes with the maid, and the maid died on her behalf.

The assassination of King Jin must be extremely dangerous. In the nick of time, she was able to make a decision without wavering, and let the maidservant replace her, which shows her cold heart.

Wei Xiu was able to choose her because of her determination and cruelty.

But it is such a cruel person who can have such compassion when facing the life and death of the people.

What a contradiction.

Pu Yang lowered his head, fiddled with the teacup, seemed to understand something, put the teacup on the table, and said calmly: "For now, I just hope that the court will put down the rebellion as soon as possible. I have an idea, and I want to hear what you think, sir."

Wei Xiu said, "Your Highness, please tell me."

"The Qiang Rong caused disasters, and the flames of war were endless. After the quelling of the chaos this time, I would like to ask Your Majesty to move the foreign people out of the fortress." Puyang said.Liangzhou did not have such a large-scale rebellion in the previous life, but in the next few years, these foreigners always had some troubles.It is better to move them out of the plug early to avoid future chaos.

Hearing this, Wei Xiu smiled brightly on her lips, took out a piece of paper from her sleeve, and presented it to Puyang.

Pu Yang took it with both hands, opened it to look, her eyes were bright, she tightened her fingers pinching the edge of the paper, and even turned white due to the force.After a quick scan, Pu Yang looked at Wei Xiu with surprise on his face.

Wei Xiu looked at her with a smile, and said calmly: "What do you think, Your Highness?"

"Great kindness!" Pu Yang said happily, her eyes were still lingering on the article, and when she finished speaking, she raised her head and bumped into Wei Xiu's smiling phoenix eyes.

Wei Xiusheng has a pair of phoenix eyes, slender and slightly raised, once he smiles, it is breathtaking.At this moment, her appearance was reflected in her eyes, her dark pupils were as gentle as black jade, there was no one else except Puyang.

Pu Yang looked at Wei Xiu blankly as if he had been frozen, unable to move his eyes away.Until Wei Xiu said in a natural tone: "In this discussion, I have my own experience in Liangzhou. I dare not say it is the best. It is better than talking in general." Puyang Fang returned to his senses.

She no longer dared to stare at Wei Xiu confidently as in the past.In the past, she had a clear conscience, but now, she has "bad intentions".

Pu Yang turned his eyes hastily, not daring to look at Wei Xiu, for fear that he would be more addicted.

She turned her head to look at the window lattice, tried her best to maintain her mind, and said calmly: "This work is at the right time, and I will submit it to Junfu on behalf of my husband." Speaking of this, she paused slightly, and said, "Just like this, sir will become famous .”

Wei Xiu looked at her with a smile: "Is it bad to be famous?"

"It's not that it's bad to be famous, it's just that Mr. is not a famous person, and he likes to be clean. I think Mr. doesn't want to do such a famous thing." Pu Yang said without any haste.Even the position of prime minister has declined several times, which shows that he doesn't like floating names.

Wei Xiu was noncommittal, but said: "Take it as a throwing brick to attract jade."

She spoke vaguely, but Pu Yang understood.

Wei Xiu is her person, and her fame is also her glory, which shows that her disciples are full of talents.Moreover, if this theory is penetrating into the inside, it is difficult to be a great talent. Because of this, His Majesty will treat her husband with courtesy, and because of this, he will regard her more highly in political affairs.In the future, if there are similar incidents of pulling in martial arts, His Majesty will at least take her words into consideration.

The benefits are obvious, and Pu Yang cannot refuse.

But this is not the intention of Mr.Once she becomes famous, the cleanliness she enjoys will be broken. People often come to the door without saying anything, and I am afraid that His Majesty will also want to grant her an official position.

Feeling moved into Puyang's heart, with a hint of joyful and obsessive sweetness.

"After you become famous, I will block visitors for you. As for Your Majesty, I can also..." Before Pu Yang finished speaking, Wei Xiu shook his head and said unhurriedly: "Your Highness, don't worry about me so much. , since I am His Highness' counselor, I serve His Highness as the Lord, and I am the same as Jiang Zhen and others to His Highness."

Pu Yang was taken aback, there was clearly another meaning in what the gentleman said.

Wei Xiu looked at her calmly, thought for a while, and then said: "I respect Your Highness as the Lord, and serve Your Highness's heart, just like a prime minister serves Your Majesty. How dare you trouble Your Highness to worry about me so much."

She meant something in every sentence, and every word was clear.She treats her like a prime minister treats his majesty, there is only the friendship between a monarch and a minister.

Pu Yang's cheeks were instantly pale, without a trace of blood.

She knew, when did she know?So impatient to get rid of it, implying that she should not think unreasonably, calm down to cruelty.

These words came without warning.Pu Yang was caught off guard, her chest heaved and she tried her best to calm herself down: "Sir..." After the words came out, there was a slight tremor, she quickly stabilized her mind, but there was no reason for a grievance in her heart.

"Sir," his voice stabilized, and Pu Yang smiled to make himself look more relaxed, but his heart ached, "Sir, you worry too much, I treat you well, because I admire your talent, and I also appreciate your hard work for me. That's right. What's wrong with being more respectful?"

Wei Xiu looked at her pretending to be calm, not letting her emotions leak out, and seeing the deep hurt hidden in her eyes, did she think she would ignore it, or should she be happy?The emperor killed her all over the house, she should get some back from his daughter.But she couldn't bear to see the princess rushing to stabilize her mind after being shocked, and then clumsily defending her dignity as a princess.

Having said that, Pu Yang finally regained her composure, she smiled dignifiedly, looked out of the window, and said: "It's getting late, so I won't bother you to rest."

He folded the article and put it in his sleeve, "The court has been busy with wars these few days, so it's not a good time to present it. After the Chinese New Year, I will present it to Your Majesty again."

Wei Xiu nodded: "I will follow what Your Highness said."

After finalizing the matter, Pu Yang stood up, Wei Xiu turned the wheelchair to see her off, Pu Yang did not refuse, but let her stop under the eaves: "It's cold outside, sir, go in."

All the servants and maidservants waited in the courtyard. When they saw the princess coming out, they hurried forward to serve her.

Nothing is any different from before.

Pu Yang walked out of the small courtyard, took a few more steps, stopped as if unwilling, turned his head, but saw that there was no one under the eaves.
