Qingzhou trip

When stepping into Zhao Yifang's room, Li Mei signaled her to keep quiet, Xie Penglai found out that there was a pile of books behind his head, and he took a step forward to see Zhao Yifang's shoulders rising and falling slightly with his breathing.

Li Mo asked her to come out, closed the door in a low voice before saying, "The past two days, His Highness has been reading all over the house newspapers and the brochures of the various divisions in the Northwest, and fell asleep for a while."

Xie Penglai hesitated for a moment, nodded and turned around, then relaxed the fists clenched under his cuffs, "Where did you get the brochures from each department?" Yan has promoted the Changping Department, and the Department of Appeasement is really under the direct jurisdiction of King Jin.The imperial court sent her to the comforting position of soldiers and thieves in the northwest, but did not release her other authority.Xie Penglai has always known that each department is separated by mountains, so how easy is it to get some real documents?

"The various divisions collected the military and financial punishments from the states and counties, and went straight to the capital. King Jin always thought that although this method can suppress the feudal towns, it weakened the counties and counties. This is the reason why the states in the northwest are weak." Xie Penglai was worried when she saw Xie Penglai from Li Mo. I didn’t ask directly, but I seemed to have a deep discussion with Xie Penglai’s question, “Some of these catalogs are from the archives obtained from the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Punishment, the Ministry of Officials, and the Ministry of Households, and part of them are from our dredging in various places in the Northwest. An old acquaintance in Si Li."

There are dozens of Lang Guan master books under the Criminal Division, and it is not difficult to send documents with some benefits.The difficulty is to get through the people in the other three divisions in the counties and states in the northwest.King Jin's layout in the northwest had already started long before he took office.

"How long did it take?" Xie Penglai's words made Li Mo puzzled, "Does Magistrate Xie say you came here from here?"

"It's paving the road." Xie Penglai licked his dry lips, Li Mei pulled her to sit in the outer hall, and poured her a glass of water, "It will definitely not work in a year or so, this road was paved before His Highness was born."

Xie Penglai was stunned, and was even more depressed about King Jin's insistence on killing Zou Shiyan, "Since King Jin inherited the lineage of Shang Wang, he had already started to explore the northwest, why—" She put down the cup, and her chest visibly lifted due to her heavy breathing. , "Why do you want to kill Zou Shiyan, who has only been in office for more than a month? He is the son-in-law of Prime Minister Lu Jie and a celebrity in the court. How many forces are behind him? How does this death teach the court? Isn't it a shock?"

Li Mo understood where her repressed anger came from, and in her heart scolded Ren Wu for being so careless and letting Xie Penglai know so soon.

"Your Highness knew that you disagreed, so she only gave the order to Ren Wu, and she told me this morning." Li Mei was also shocked at first, but after thinking about it, he had no choice but to do so, "What if Jingli pursues it?"

The door of the inner room was opened, and King Jin came out in his clothes and yawned, "If he is allowed to go to Yanzhou to transfer troops, then you and I will really startle the snake if we don't disarm according to the sand sea."

She walked to the table, picked up Xie Penglai's used cup and drank it, but it was too late for Xie Penglai to dissuade her.

"The man from the Wende Hall sent him to the northwest and added a secret decree. If the king has second thoughts, he, Zou Shiyan, can remove me immediately, and even transfer troops to remove me from power. The old man first saw that Shahai was trapped. , The king was unwilling to make peace, so he came up with the idea of ​​blackmailing the king with a secret decree, but Li Jiyan was so frightened that he covered his head back." Zhao Yifang squeezed the cup and laughed, "Thank you, Li Mei, at that time If this king waits for a moment and waits for Zou Shiyan to ask for a secret decree, what do you think will happen?"

The rest of the two were silent—there was bound to be chaos in the city, and Zou Shiyan seized the command right after he rose to power and let the Beixia people enter the city for peace talks. The result would be unimaginable.But they all agreed with King Jin's decision in this matter, but Xie Penglai was still determined when Zou Shiyan was assassinated, "Your Highness, Xie wants to understand why he killed Zou Shiyan? The soldier of Yanzhou It's not something he can easily transfer, the Privy Council will not sit back and watch him presume. Even if killing him can stop this matter, it's the same if the court replaces someone."

King Jin looked at Xie Penglai with a stern face and sighed, "Master Xie, why don't you understand how to kill chickens to scare monkeys? You can't even save Zou Shiyan's life. How many people in the court dare to come to the Northwest to disrupt the situation? Send someone to come again It will take more than a month, what if there is another change in Beixia during this period? Is this king putting out the fire from the court, or blocking the guns of the people of Beixia?" She looked at Xie Penglai, with a hint of anger in her eyes.

After Xie Penglai pondered for a while, he gradually realized that although King Jin's stab was ruthless, it was also a safe solution in the current situation.She ran all the way back from the cold wind, the hot sweat in her hair gradually cooled, and the look in King Jin's eyes made her heart fire subside quietly.

It was true that she was anxious to alarm the court, and it was true that King Jin didn't discuss it with her.They joined hands all the way in Shahai, not to mention teachers and friends, and they almost reached the point of discussing marriage.Perhaps since King Jin sent troops to suppress Li Jiyan first, she gradually felt that His Royal Highness King Jin, who was so tender and loving to her, was an unfettered wild wolf, and he was more inclined to make up his own mind when life and death were at stake.

Will there be a day when she doesn't need herself at all?

The sound of humming and begging is the king of Jin, the love as deep as the sea is also the king of Jin, the decisiveness of killing is also her, and the charming and charming is also her.Xie Penglai suddenly felt that he was so complacent, that he didn't dismiss himself by saying that he wanted to get married with King Jin.

Of course Zhao Yifang couldn't be willing.How many deep plans she has not told herself, how many open and dark arrows will be shot at will, and how many unpredictable intentions.It turns out that Xie Penglai only heard that the power of the sky is unpredictable, not only that, but also the only surviving female prince of the Zhao family in Jiamaying.

Thinking of this, Xie Penglai's eyes darkened.Standing up and bowing to King Jin, "Your Highness's words are justified, Xie is short-sighted. There is still something to do in the Yamen, so Xie will leave."

Shahai County Magistrate's heart, liver, spleen, stomach and intestines were extremely cold at the moment, and she seemed to hear King Jin calling her after walking out the door.Xie Penglai supported the wall, he just wanted to escape from this deep house as soon as possible.

Zhao Yifang watched her back in the corridor, gritted her teeth angrily, and then threw the cup at the shadow wall where the figure disappeared.

"Why...why is she so angry?" King Jin turned his head and went back to the room, and took out a few replies from King Ying in Jingli from the pair of books. Floods and droughts alternately turn blue and yellow. Then I want to get married and thank Penglai, my brother said absolutely not!"

okay.Whatever you want is fine, even Xie Penglai doesn't understand him, and leaves with his sleeves flung.King Jin ran back and forth in the house, "I think we are like-minded."

Li Mei has already returned to the desk and licked the tip of the brush, "If you don't express your ambitions, why do you agree? If you don't understand, how can you agree?"

"Isn't that afraid that she will dissuade you like you? Didn't I also receive an urgent report from Ren Wu, afraid that the opportunity will be delayed?" Zhao Yifang became more and more uncomfortable, pointing to the door, as if Xie Penglai was still standing there, "She... ...Did you see it? She gave me a face."

Li Mo leisurely dipped in the ink again, "The complexion is for His Highness, and the emotions and six desires of Xie County Magistrate are also for His Highness." I am a scholar at any rate, and I am famous among the top three advanced scholars. Surprised, she covered her mouth, "Speak carefully."

King Jin was already leaning on the desk and staring at her, "What emotions and desires?"

Li Mei just finished writing a line of words on the paper and put the pen down, "His Royal Highness Xie Penglai in Jinbei also inquired about it. Have you ever shown your feelings to others in these years? You have only been in Shahai for a few months? Apart from knowing how old her hometown is, How do you know how he was dispatched from Jibei to this place, what his taste is, and his personality as a scholar? In other words, how much does Xie Penglai know about His Highness?"

Zhao Yifang looked away unconvinced, "I can almost memorize her dossiers these years." But indeed, how much does Xie Penglai really know about herself?How much did he reveal to Xie Penglai?Except that he once wanted to marry her into the door with all his heart.

Only when we have mutual aspirations can we work together, and only when we know each other can we last for a long time.Thinking about it, Xie Penglai rarely showed the gloomy and grievance expression on his face just now.

King Jin fell silent, and asked Li Mo for a while, "Then... In your opinion, what is this king's habit? How about thanking the teacher?"

Li Mo looked as if he was about to throw his sleeves on fire, "His Royal Highness, please forgive me. I have never been interested in love, and I don't know what the habit of getting along with young couples should be."

King Jin gave her a blank look, "I've been bored by you for a few days, and I want to go out for a walk right now, so you'll be drafting the letter to reply to brother." She walked out of the door and pointed to the book case, "The account book king who promoted Changping Division has a headache, you can sort it out today."

Li Mo waited for her to leave, then patted her mouth lightly, "tongue." She smiled and shook her head.

When Zhao Yifang came out from the back door, Ren Liu was already waiting with his horse, "Your Highness, go to thank the county magistrate?"

"Talking." Even if she wanted to go, Zhao Yifang would not look for Xie Penglai at this moment.

Ren Liu didn't dare to speak anymore, he led the horse and followed Zhao Yifang, while winking with the secret whistle behind him.After the war with Shahai, Zhao Yifang no longer went out as frequently as before. One reason was that she was busy, and the other was that Shahai had recently released business contacts. To prevent accidents, Li Mei did not advise her to go out for adventure.Even if you go out of the house, you have to arrange people to manage it before and after.

In fact, Zhao Yifang has no direction. The places she is most familiar with in Shahai City are the Academy, Wine Alley and Flower Alley, and Xie Penglai's residence.I heard that there was a Toutuo living in the academy, and there had been no qin-sounding bosom friends in the flower alley for a long time. Xie Penglai had just started to make a fuss, she walked for a while, and unknowingly came to the entrance of the alley filled with the smell of ring cakes.

Liu's bakery and Hu's deli meat shop live next to each other, and the business at the door is better than before.Li Suyue, who was tall and straight, stood in front of Liu Erniang's shop with a hammer on her back. After buying hot ring cakes, she stuffed the cakes into the burden behind her without fear of being hot.Suddenly caught a glimpse of the slightly dressed His Highness, he was taken aback for a moment, he still stepped forward to ask for a salute, King Jin held his arm, "Don't be polite outside."

The first time Li Suyue saw King Jin was frightened by her in the blacksmith shop. This highness sat down to eat her clove wontons unceremoniously, and started to scare herself to tell the truth with a touch of her mouth.After several face-to-face calls, it was because she reported letters to and from the city. When sending the master out of the city, this highness still did not forget to praise himself, "Miss Li is very brave."

Hearing that she killed Bei Xia's envoy without changing her face, Li Suyue felt that this His Highness not only had a royal air, but also a bandit air in Taoism.

Both of them had worries, one was hesitating at the alley, and the other didn't know how to continue the conversation.In the end, Li Suyue took out the ring cakes in her bag, "Is this where you came from?" I have seen Ah Xie accompany her to buy cakes a few times, and it turns out that Huang Guihua still likes cheap food in the streets and alleys.

Zhao Yifang smiled slightly, took a piece of cake and stood side by side with Li Suyue, "Are you going out with a hammer on your back?"

"Qi carpenter's house in the south of the city is repairing. When he is old, I will go to the house to help repair things." Li Suyue doesn't eat cakes, and the remaining three yuan is for the family.Especially that Yun Bailu who lay on the bed all day long either reading or crying out for pain.

King Jin nodded, "You have a good heart, and Yun Bailu also said it." Finally found something, "I'll go and see Yun Bailu." He was going to seek her favor from time to time, and he didn't know if the two of them could make things happen.

When passing by the fruit shop, Li Suyue said, "Sorry, I still have something to buy."

In a blink of an eye, he came out with half a bag of candies.She smiled shyly at King Jin, "A Lu's mouth is bitter after taking the medicine, I'll buy her some sweet mouth to change the taste."

Unexpectedly, someone who knew Li Suyue at the side coaxed her, "Widow of the Li family, I heard that you carried Miss Yun back that day?" The man's tone was provocative, and he wanted to see Li Suyue's embarrassment.

The female blacksmith stopped, "That's right." The upright look and the cold face made people feel cold.Seeing the hammer, the man stuck out his tongue and slipped away.

Zhao Yifang suddenly understood something, "You and... Yun Shidu, are you interested?"

Only then did Li Suyue show a slight smile, the Jiangnan charm lingering in her brows and eyes, "I'm interested, Ah Lu... I'm not sure yet. But I'm not in a hurry, although getting married is a formality, but she needs to give her some time to see what I'm up to Is it worth it."

Teacher Xie is half as witty as you, so he wouldn't give me face today.Zhao Yifang sighed in her heart, with a smile on her face, "Yes, this is a good thing."

"Ah Xie persuaded me too." Li Suyue's inadvertent words froze King Jin in front of him.

"It's... so good." King Jin almost gritted his teeth and said, "Very good."

This Highness is not only angry, but also looks like he is holding his breath.Li Suyue immediately realized that she had said the wrong thing, and she was a little at a loss. King Jin's expression had already changed, and he said with a smile, "Is it okay to come to your house today to ask for a glass of water and wine?"

Li Suyue felt cold behind her back.
