spring as old

If there is a missing link in the middle, everything will be complicated and confusing, and it is impossible to see what is going on.

Qin Kun stepped inside, looked left and right, saw the princess sitting on the couch by the window, hurried forward, stretched out his hands, and respectfully offered the letter: "Your Highness, this is the letter written after the investigation of General Zhou's homeland at that time. Just the document."

Last year Zhou Qi tried his best to turn the tide and gathered the remnant soldiers, so Puyang sent someone to investigate this person, and did not rule out the possibility of recruiting him if he was available.

She had read this document once before.Now it's time to go back and see if I missed anything.

When she heard Zhou Qi's name at that time, she mentioned him to her husband.The gentleman said that she once persuaded a man named Zhou Qi to join the army, but it is not known whether the two are the same person.

The person she sent reported that the two were indeed one.When Zhou Qi was young, he was a troublemaker in the village. He was a knight-errant who was not afraid of the world and caused trouble everywhere. Mr. Yu didn't know what he said, but he suddenly changed his mind and went to the frontier to join the army.In just a few years, he became a captain from a small soldier.

Knowing this, she was very happy, so she told her husband, who also lamented the impermanence of the world, and did not think that he would have achieved such an achievement when he was a young man.Therefore, Zhou Qi's name was not seen at the banquet for several generals this time. Puyang regretted it, and was a little puzzled when he came again.With such a long history, it is not easy to win over, and it is not difficult to show affection, but after Mr. explained, she felt reasonable.

If you look at this series separately, they are all reasonable, but when you connect them, you don't know where they are, and there are always some unspeakable weirdness.

Pu Yang read the document twice, but still didn't see any clues.Throwing the document on the case, she stood up and paced back and forth in the hall, connecting everything again and thinking about it again.

Half an hour passed, and it got dark.The maids filed in, Qin Kun gave them a wink, the maids relaxed their steps, lit the lamps, and then quietly retreated.

The dream was missing a section, who won the world, what about Xiao Dewen, and what about the kings, I don't know at all.

Pu Yang had never heard of Zhou Qi in his previous life, let alone met him.In this life, I know very little about him.All things are connected together, and after repeated thinking, there is nothing wrong with it.

Strictly speaking, it is not uncommon for Zhou Qi to be by Mr.'s side in the dream.They knew each other already, and it was only logical for Zhou Qi to serve Mr.

But Pu Yang just felt an indescribable anxiety, she didn't even know what she was suspicious of, she just felt all kinds of weirdness.This is intuition.The more intuitive you are, the easier it is to believe.

Qin Kun waited for a while, but still did not see the princess making a sound, so he stepped forward cautiously and said, "Your Highness, it's time for dinner."

Pu Yang came back to his senses, ordered the meal to be served, and asked, "Mister, are you going out this afternoon?"

Qin Kun replied: "Mr. has never gone out."

Pu Yang let out a "huh" and didn't say anything else, but Qin Kun asked again: "Tomorrow is His Royal Highness's birthday, and the birthday gift has been prepared. Would His Highness come to celebrate in person?"

The princesses and kings add up, there are always nearly twenty, and there are princes and important officials, there are countless birthday banquets in a year, and countless invitations are sent to the princess' mansion every day. It can be seen that it is likely that Chang Shi screened out the important ones and sent them in, and then it was up to His Highness to decide whether to go or not.

When Qin Kun mentioned it at this time, it was not only a request for instructions, but also a reminder, so that the princess would not forget.

Pu Yang recalled this incident: "I will bring my own gift to go in person." After a pause, he said again, "Mister, please come with me tomorrow."

Qin Kun agreed to step down.

The next morning, when the weather was clear and bright, Pu Yang and Wei Xiu went out taking advantage of the scorching sun.

Dai Wang's mansion is on the other side of the imperial city, quite far away from Puyang.

The two of them rode in the carriage together, Pu Yang thought about what happened yesterday, and asked Wei Xiu, "Does Zhou Qi know that Mr. is in Beijing?"

"I know." Wei Xiu replied, "He also asked someone to pass me a message, and wanted to meet and talk about it."

Wei Xiu's reputation is very famous, who knows who is an official in the court?Pu Yang talked about Mr. Zhou Qi Dingzhi in Beijing, but he never thought that he had sent someone to pass the message.

Pu Yang's eyebrows twitched: "Well... Sir, did you agree to see him?"

"Never."

"Why?"

Her tone was a little anxious, Wei Xiu gave her a strange look, and said: "He joined the army, although I persuaded him, he may have today, but in the final analysis, it is his own ability. Since he wants to see me, he just remembers my favor." But favors can only be used once, why rush to see him at this time, as if rushing to get something in return from him."

After Pu Yang asked, he realized that he was in a hurry, and hurriedly said: "What the master said is true."

After thinking for a while, she said again: "I always feel that there is something wrong with Zhou Qi. He has a relationship with Mr. I'm afraid it's more than that."

Wei Xiu was stunned for a moment, looked at Puyang, saw that she was puzzled, she was just thinking, so she breathed a sigh of relief slowly, and asked with a smile: "What else is there?"

How could Pu Yang tell what happened in the previous life, so he could only vaguely say: "It's just a feeling."

Once people feel that something is wrong, their suspicions will grow.Pu Yang didn't doubt Wei Xiu, nor did he think that what she said yesterday was wrong, he just said: "Mr. said yesterday, don't be too thorough, but if it is, so what if you only care about Zhou Qi?" Several generals are gone, as long as Zhou Qi is alone, it is not considered very thorough, and it will not touch His Majesty's taboo.

She seems to pay special attention to Zhou Qi today.Could it be that His Highness noticed something?Wei Xiu hesitated in her heart, but said with a serious face: "It's not impossible."

Pu Yang was overjoyed: "Then..."

Wei Xiu interrupted her: "Your Highness, have you ever thought about why I don't want His Highness to make friends with high-ranking officials, but start with these lowly and humble sons?"

Pu Yang was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Of course I know. One is Your Majesty. Your Majesty wants to promote a poor family and fight against scholars with ordinary people. I cater to this heart, and many things will be convenient." Because of this, "Again, most of the important ministers have their own ambitions, and they may not be willing to talk to me." Who would ignore the prince and find another way to support the princess?

Wei Xiu nodded: "Not bad. But there is another reason."

Pu Yang showed a look of willingness to hear more about it.

"Those people were recommended by His Highness to His Majesty. Everyone knows about it. It's no secret that those people are all sages. What will the ministers think when they see this?" Wei Xiu asked.

After Pu Yang thought for a while, his eyes were bright.

Wei Xiu slightly curled her lips: "That's right. Your Highness already has certain qualifications. You are no longer just a princess favored by the Holy One, but someone with power and capital. Apart from being unable to go to court, you are no worse than the kings." How much, even, in terms of government, the kings are even inferior to Your Highness. Those generals, whom the kings wanted to make friends with but couldn't get along with, all entered your residence."

Finally, a few children from poor families came here, and they were very competitive and had military merits. How could the emperor allow them to get involved with the prince again, to admire the family, and to serve as pawns for the family?It must have been implied when the private meeting was held.Puyang is different, the emperor has already tacitly approved of what she did, the generals who first entered the capital, their foundation is shallow, and they also have the idea of ​​finding a big tree to lean on, if Puyang is interested, they will naturally follow the trend. Pu Yang resorted to tricks to convince them willingly.

But these, bystanders cannot see, they will only have the illusion that His Highness Puyang is more powerful than the kings.

Pu Yang thought through the joints, his eyes were full of surprises, Wei Xiu smiled slightly: "How can His Highness bend down to beg them? They should come to ask His Highness for protection."

It was a serious matter, but upon hearing Wei Xiu's words, Pu Yang couldn't help but burst out laughing, and looked at Wei Xiu with tenderness.

Wei Xiu also smiled, knowing that this would dispel His Highness' doubts, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.She and His Highness don't know how many roads they have to travel together, there should be no rift between them.

What Wei Xiu said was not to deceive Pu Yang.

What she described was realized in Daiwangfu.

During the banquet, I met my uncle.My uncle asked Puyang that the family wanted to be a governor of Qingzhou, but I don't know the current situation, but it might be possible.

The Wang family is full of nobles, if it is a small official of the [-]th or [-]th rank, it is not difficult to do a little activity.But the governor is already a senior official of the third rank, and in the local area, it is very easy to make political achievements to be promoted.This time there is a vacancy in the governor of Qingzhou, and there are not many people in the court who are staring at him.Wang may not be able to do so.

Puyang gets along well with her family, and she also knows what the Wang family is like.Now my grandfather is the prime minister, the head of all officials, and my uncle is Habayashi Churo General, with a high position and authority, and won the trust of His Majesty.There are also two governors in the family, three sheriffs, and a few of the fifth and sixth grades in the capital. Such a situation can already be called a big tree.If you continue to rack your brains to fight for the governor, it will make others jealous, and His Majesty will not be happy.

In this way, I am afraid that the governor did not ask for his own family.

Pu Yang then asked: "I don't know why people seek this vacancy?"

When Wang Gun saw her, he immediately saw the key point, and couldn't help laughing: "It's the sheriff of Chen County. He has been in office for eight years, and he has accumulated enough qualifications. Qingzhou is a good place with rich resources, natural treasures, outstanding people, and a good land. There is no governor this time. He moved his mind."

At this time, everyone has not yet seated, men and women are all gathered in the flower hall, chatting with each other, and no one pays attention to them.

Wang Gun glanced at Puyang, and there was kindness in his eyes: "He wanted to come to your door, but he has never had any contact with you, so don't rush to meet him. His brother-in-law has something to do with the Wang family, so he asked you Come to the door, if you wish to meet, Uncle will be one of them."

Wang Gun loved Puyang as always. Although he knew that Puyang had a clear view of the situation, he still reminded her: "Chen County is originally a big county with a lot of powerful prestige. He can work there safely for eight years, which shows that he is very capable. .”

Those who are capable only need opportunities.If it wasn't for Puyang, it would be someone else, if it doesn't work this time, it will be next time, there is always a way to advance.It's better to just accept him and take refuge.Pu Yang understood Wang Gun's suggestion, and said with a smile: "Then I will trouble Uncle. When Uncle is free, Qiniang will sweep the couch to welcome you."
