All your life is gentle

Yongqian for six years.

The former prince Fu Ding, posthumously named Jinglie, was buried in Xiuling in the northwest suburb of Shunjing.

The former Jinxia prince Zhao Chang was demoted to Qingpinghou.Everyone in Jinxia's return has his own plan.

In December, King Fusheng of Jingbei was established as the crown prince.

The emperor's sick bed was lingering, and it happened repeatedly.Since then, major military and state affairs have been decided by the prince.

Yongqian for seven years.

Changsheng is getting more and more busy, while Zishi is getting more and more idle.

Busy people sneak in while busy people have nothing to do.Except for the regular noon healing sessions, the two of them can't see each other until late at night.

Just after the Spring Festival, the court proposed to build another East Palace, but the prince rejected it on the grounds of thrift.

After a few days, one night, Chang Sheng chatted with Zi Shi, and when he mentioned this matter, he said depressedly: "Fu Qian is talkative, he told Father Emperor that I don't want to build another East Palace, and when he saw me today, he became very angry. Not to mention the medicine bowl, but pointing at my nose and cursing—" Lie down on my back, put my hands behind my head, and sighed.

Zi Shi was writing, turned his head to the side: "Let me guess." Putting down the pen, "Hmm... Is it because you are trying to speculate, hoping that the old man will die soon and move into the palace as soon as possible? Say you put poison in the medicine?"

Changsheng smiled wryly.

Zi Shi nodded: "The idea of ​​the emperor's father is normal."

"If I really want to, why bother..."

"Dad has this way of thinking, which means that his brain is still working. Naturally, he doesn't really understand. The longer he scolds, the more people will understand. You go to the palace every day to greet and serve, and the daily notes will only write: "I was sick, the prince asked me about it every day, I served the soup and medicine, and I never gave up." I don't know what my father scolded you. In the palace, I only praise the prince for his respect and pure filial piety, which is moving..."

Changsheng sat up: "Why do I listen, these few words of yours are much more uncomfortable than father scolding me a lot?"

"I'm not trying to comfort you..."

"You call this consolation? It's clearly irony, hmph..."

Zi Shi came over and sat down on the edge of the bed next to him: "Even if you are ironic, you are not the one who is ironic. The matter of the emperor's father has already become a deadlock. At this point, you can only bear it." Patted him on the shoulder. , "If you are sad, you have to show it to others, so it won't be a waste. Dad feels aggrieved, who else can he turn to if he doesn't vent to you? Do you think there are a few people in the world who are as reasonable as me, and are willing to break it up and down with you..."

Changsheng laughed.Hearing the words "break and twist" is like a multi-legged reptile scratching and scratching at the heart.But I can't really twist it back and forth, I just slap it to death, and I have to be careful not to let people around me find out.

"I don't think it's really necessary to build another East Palace. It's purely superfluous. This house was originally the prince's mansion. It's brand new and shiny, and it's already impressive enough. In the past, Zhao Yan was deposed by the prince to become King Huai'an, and finally became a victim of the palace fight. But it hasn’t changed. Dad actually gave you this place, it’s a mistake.”

"When I came back, there was no other place. They all thought the house was too desolate, and those who knew it were even more afraid of bad luck. Hey! It's for nothing."

Zi Shi narrowed his eyes and taunted him: "Thanks to such a large territory, it is easy to do any kind of conspiracy."

Changsheng then thought of the group of captives locked up in the side courtyard.

Jin Xia surrendered to everyone, all the beauties had already been given away, the officials used what they could use, and raised the unusable ones.Only those who are worthy of use but unwilling to be used have been locked up in the side courtyard of the Prince's Mansion.

Falling down again, looking at the roof: "You said..." Touching the one next to him, Ping stretched out an arm.

Zi Shi lay down in the same position as him, pillowing on that arm.

"Tell me, the rest of the stubborn imperial scholars and censors will be sent back to Shuzhou, okay?"

"Um?"

"I've been locked up for a few months, and everything that can be said makes sense. I really can't do anything about the rest."

"Ah."

Although he couldn't hear any extra emotions, Chang Sheng knew that some of them had a deep relationship with him, and it was inevitable that they would be concerned about them.

"It's a pity that these people are killed. If they let out bad things, it's better to circle them and do the work you didn't finish before. The reconstruction of Jixian Pavilion will take two or three years according to your standards. Originally, Lan Taisi's book is the best. Don’t move for now. I think, just send them back to Shuzhou to copy books, let Fu Ao watch, and then send a few people under your command to lead..."

"That's a good idea. But one by one"

Changsheng turned his head to face him: "But what?"

"However, it is still not possible to stimulate their enthusiasm to the greatest extent, and they are willing to work hard."

Seeing the corners of his mouth raised, his face full of cunning and treachery, Chang Sheng couldn't help raising his eyebrows: "Oh?"

"For the elders of Chen Ge, if they want to make them willing, how can they revise the history? The national history of the previous dynasty and the revision of the new dynasty have become a common practice. This matter will be done sooner or later. You tell them, whether they will If you are willing to do it, I will hand it over to the Jinshi who has been working for five years..."

In the fifth year of Yongqian, the Huarong court reopened the imperial examination.At the beginning of the seventh year of Yongqian, there was just one round of admission.The pen of history is like a knife. Of course, Chen Mengjue and other survivors would not like to see what these new Jinshi candidates would describe to the previous dynasty.

Zi Shi smiled and said: "Jinxia has been writing for more than 200 years, let them write slowly. In the middle, they will check and rework from time to time. When it comes to writing the most recent paragraph, it will be ten or twenty years later. Personnel affairs follow one after another. The predecessors always have to pass away, and when the time comes, the latecomers will have the final say. If anyone in the court is worried that these former sages will write some disrespectful words, you should explain this truth and tell them that there is no need to sacrifice people Worry."

Patting Changsheng's chest, with a bloody and cheap expression on his face: "Although these people are stubborn in their thinking, there is nothing wrong with their writing and knowledge. You don't need to pay them salaries. They are enough for food and housing, and I promise to give you all of them." Work hard with all your heart—where can I find so many free and high-quality white laborers? Didn’t you bring back all the important things in the Shuzhou Palace?

Is there a 'living note'?Turn it out and write history for later use..."

Changsheng laughed: "I'll ask Zhuang Lingchen to look for it."

After talking for a while, Zi Shi started to feel sleepy.Thinking about getting up to clean up the things on the table, Chang Sheng put his arms around him: "Don't worry about it, it's not like no one will clean up for you." He helped him undress and shake the quilt, and asked, "Writing at night is a waste of eyes, why don't you write during the day?"

"During the day?" Zi Shi closed his eyes and said hey, "I played too hard with Fuling Cake and Fulingshuang in the morning, and ended up sleeping all the time in the afternoon, so I didn't have time."

Changsheng couldn't help but laugh: "How old are they? How old are you? Really..."

"Hey, you don't know, it's the most fun time. When Zi Zhouzi came back to my house, he was about the same age. The whole dough can walk, hehe..." Get under the quilt, "Miss Fang asked what to eat For dim sum, I said I would just eat Poria cakes, but the little pancakes were so scared that they were so timid, could it be that the third child was born? Fu Lingshuang saw me bullying her brother and beat me with his fist - this must be the boss My dear, you can't be wrong."

Chang Sheng was silent for a moment, and said, "How do you think Qin Xi and Huang Yunxiu are doing with this matter?"

Zi Shi's smile did not change: "Brother Qin is worthy of being a master of Buddhism and Buddhism, and he was able to steal two children out. Brother Huang was able to stabilize your wife who is said to be famous and fierce. It is a great achievement. In any case, taking hostages , it’s more honest than assassination and poisoning. And it can happen to pinch the opponent’s seven inches, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with it.”

"But... no matter how young they are, they are still two living people. Is it possible to raise them like this? I don't have the time..."

Zi Shi sighed, opened his eyes, and said seriously: "I heard from Miss Fang that Fu Lin was born as a concubine, and her mother was originally a sister in her building. She pretended to perfunctory the third child and waited for an opportunity to desperately. In the end, she was taken into the palace and unfortunately died of dystocia. One by one is really an unholy fate. Although the third child is eccentric, but the concubine refuses to be fraternal, the child was fostered in the eldest man's mansion shortly after it was born, and asked the emperor's wife to take care of it. Fu Shuang is the eldest posthumous daughter. Of these two children, neither Mother, if you have no father, even if you were born in the royal family, you are a prince and princess, it's a hard life. Anyway, it's a family, and you are an uncle and uncle, so you can take care of it, it's not like you can't afford it."

Changsheng looked down at him and didn't speak for a long time.

Zi Shi suddenly realized something and looked back at him: "Hey, I said...you don't want to raise your nephew and niece, do you want to raise your own..."

Before he could finish speaking, Chang Sheng stopped him abruptly: "Why is Fang Nongqing talking so much to you?"

Zi Shi was stunned, and said in a low voice: "Everyone is chatting, we are fellow villagers, and there is Zi Gui..." Responding, he reached out and grabbed his collar, glaring, "You donkey liver and mule lung bastard, how dare you bite back... ..."

"More than one bite..." Chang Sheng said, and he jumped down, covering his head with a quilt, like a hailstorm, biting his nose, face, lips, and ears all over the place.Let go immediately after biting, like a charcoal that is half-burned and then doused, with the pestle smoking beside it.

Zi Shi knows that he cherishes himself, since he was sick and injured, he has endured it for almost half a year.To be with each other every day, thanks to the fact that he has a magical skill that can be practiced with the utmost love, sex, and death...

Tilting his head, motioned for him to lie down beside him.Reach out and run your hands through your hair and back, imagining you're smoothing a very large dog.

One side is smooth, while blowing the pillow wind.

"Fu Lin can't go back anyway, and Fu Shuang doesn't need to be in a hurry to send him back. The two children have a companion. I think Miss Fang is hardworking and capable, and she is very good at managing the house's internal affairs. She was originally arranged by Brother Qin "Brother Qin is a hero, he is upright, he is not as petty as some people..."

The big dog seemed to be showing signs of jumping up, so he took two more shots and changed the subject: "Although we won't send it back, sister-in-law can come. You send someone to invite the emperor's wife to be your guest. With Miss Fang as the housekeeper, sister-in-law Then you can visit the door frequently. At the third place, she will send news. Whenever the third child can't help but think of his son, and begs to visit, you brothers, it will be easy to meet."

Chang Sheng said: "You are so mixed up with the two little guys, they come to the door, it is inevitable that they will know..."

"What does that matter? I don't go to socialize with them. It's inevitable that I know—what else can I know? The dignified prince, there are a few domestic and foreign pets in the mansion, it's only normal—the absence of them makes people suspicious."

Long-term angry knot.

Zi Shi sighed and said, "Here, the most wronged person is Zi Gui. Recently, writing has not felt so exhausting. When it gets better, she should be able to let her do what she likes. Such an outstanding student like me Sister, how can I tie her around and act like a girl..."

When Changsheng heard this, he suddenly remembered something.After a little hesitation, he decided to take this opportunity to speak out.

"Zi Shi."

"Um……"

Pushing himself up, one hand slid down his back.

Tucking that hand into the quilt, Chang Sheng thought to himself: Let the person tell him.He lowered his head and pressed a kiss as light as flying catkins on his lips, and said nothing.

It snowed secretly in the middle of the night and didn't stop until the afternoon of the next day. It was the most spectacular snowfall last year and this spring.

Zi Shi woke up in the afternoon, opened the door curtain, and looked longingly at the white courtyard.Everyone knew that he wanted to play, but he couldn't, so the others endured it, busy coming and going, pretending not to see it.Li Wen waited for him to catch a few glances, came over and lowered the curtain, and closed the door.

"There has never been such a heavy snow in the south. Neither does Tongcheng, nor does Shuzhou."

Hearing that the young master seemed to be talking to himself, and also seemed to be talking to himself, Li Wen said "um" casually.

"It's been several days since the beginning of spring, and this may be the last snow."

This sentence seems to be regretful, but also seems to be happy.Li Wen thought about it and replied, "Yes."

But Wen sighed softly: "Bai Xue thinks spring is too late, so she wears trees in the garden to make flying flowers."

This sentence is not difficult to understand, but it seems that there is something else in it.Li Wen didn't dare to answer blindly, so he said "hmm" again.

Another soft sigh: "Wanli Yingtian spring returns to Yan, and six out of condensed flowers are still in love."

I don't know what this sentence is saying anymore.Li Wen stood there stupidly, thinking: The second young master is not here, the third young lady is not here, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not here, so why is there no one to take care of the young master... I can't tell whether I am in a good mood or not...

Just as he was in trouble, the door opened, Li Zhang came in with the medicine, Xiao Qu followed behind him, holding a spring bottle of gold pastel colored jade pot, with a few branches of white plums stuck in the bottle.

Zi Shi came over and said, "Sure enough, the plum blossoms in the north bloom late, and they bloom so well at this time!"

Li Wen breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly removed the carved rosewood behind the screen for the spring vase of white plums.

At this time, there was a burst of laughter from women and children in the yard.

Xiaoqu said: "Miss Fang and Miss just picked plum blossoms in the back garden, and the two young highnesses are going to come over to play, Miss Fang is afraid that they will disturb the young master..."

Zishi interface: "It's okay, it's okay."

"Miss said the same thing, and she came here with a snow doll. The sky is fine and there is no wind, just right."

Li Zhang put down the tray, handed a coat to the young master, turned around and opened the window, and then delivered the medicine cup.

Zi Shi was sitting in front of the window, Zi Gui saw his eldest brother, waved his hands with a smile, and went to snowball with the two children.Fang Nongqing led the two maidservants and bowed slightly to this side as a courtesy.

Zi Shi nodded with a smile, relishing watching the one big and two small children having fun in the yard.

Seeing the snowman taking shape, he turned his head and pointed to the colorful satin suede hood hanging on the wall: "Give them a try."

Zigui saw what Li Wen was holding in his hand, his eyes lit up, he took it with a smile, and put it on the snowman's head.The snow doll is white and fat, with a naive look, wearing a bright hat full of foreign style, it is really interesting.The two children clapped their hands and jumped to reach the drooping fox tail.

Li Wen laughed for a while, called "Miss", and said a few words of conversation between the young master and himself after his afternoon nap, Zigui frowned.

Ning Qing heard it from the side, and said quietly: "Xianchou is the most painful."

Zi Gui shook his hand: "Brother hasn't left the room for several months, it's really suffocating." He suddenly smiled, "How much worry do you have? If you have time, you don't lose your mind. It seems that you are in a good mood."

Ning Qing was amused by her.After a while, he suddenly said: "The 'Kexin Pavilion' in the back garden is actually a warm pavilion. It is said that the original six panes were made of transparent glazed mirrors, which were specially used to enjoy the snow. The four sides couldn't be patched up, so I replaced it with wooden boards, but there are still two sides left..."

Before she could finish speaking, Zigui said pleasantly, "That's great! Sister Fang, let's go get it right now!"

Zi Shi practiced writing for a while, and the two of them sent a message, saying that the young lady invited the young master to enjoy the snow and plum blossoms at the Kexin Pavilion in the back garden.

Huh?

He was stunned for a moment, and his brows were beaming with joy: "Awen Zhang, hurry up, change clothes!"

After he put on a cloak and put on wooden clogs, he followed Li Wen and Li Zhang to the so-called "Kexin Pavilion", only to find that it was a small hexagonal fully enclosed attic, located halfway up the rockery.A thick blanket was hung at the door, and before stepping in, a sense of warmth rushed over.

The curtain was lifted, and it was my younger sister who greeted me personally.

"Zigui, what day is it today..."

There is only a large hexagonal pear wood table in the pavilion, under which is a hearth, and the charcoal fire is burning vigorously.Nong Qing led the maids to lay out the dishes on the other side, placing all kinds of dried fruit snacks.

Standing against the wall is a small red clay stove with a handle, which is convenient for warming wine and making tea. The copper pot on the stove is steaming, and the water is already boiling.

Zigui put down the curtain, turned around, and smiled coquettishly: "Brother, today is snowing." After that, he was invited to sit down on the inside.

Zi Shi sat still and raised his eyes, the pane facing him had a transparent glaze embedded in the middle, just enough to see the eucalyptus and viburnum outside, the ice was clear and the snow was plain.

One by one, this place is obviously an elegant place built by the original owner of the house for snow appreciation.

Picking up the teacup, I couldn't help but let out a satisfied sigh: "I didn't expect such a beautiful place in the back garden. I lived for nothing for a few months..."

He moved in in October, which is the season when autumn and winter are most likely to cause wind and cold.At that time, I was sick and injured, and was strictly watched by the people around me, which was tantamount to confinement, so I have never been to this back garden until now.

As if someone was pulling his sleeve, looking down, Fu Lin touched the edge of the chair at some point, holding a plum blossom in his hand, puffing out his cheeks and trying to tiptoe.

"Poria cake, are you going to give it to me?"

"Um!"

"why?"

The child blinked, suddenly felt embarrassed, and ran away, hiding behind Ning Qing.

Zi Shi thought about it, probably the hat on the snowman's head played a role, and the old account of crying yesterday was wiped out.Looking at the plum branch in his hand, there was no place to put it, and brought an ice-patterned blue-glazed saucer from the table, and motioned Li Wen to fill it with cold water.Pick off the plum blossoms on the branches, and put them carefully one by one.White plums and green calyxes float on the water surface, against which the celadon with water shines, creating a poetic and picturesque feeling.The two children were standing on the stool in the arms of the servant girl, fascinated by watching.

Zi Shi lowered his head and breathed lightly.The water ripples slightly, and the flowers spin and float.The children giggled and laughed, and imitated his appearance, lying on the table and blowing wildly, full of joy.

Ning Qing couldn't help looking at him again and again, and finally she woke up and turned to look at the two children.

At this time Li Zhang came in with a food box, which contained two snacks that Lu Changgeng specially made for the young master: one snowflake cake and one green plum cheese, which were still hot just out of the pan.

Zi Shi said: "It's better to invite Master Lu and Mr. Yuan. You don't need to be formal, just sit down together. There are so many people, it's interesting."

It didn't take much time to gather around a table and accompany him to enjoy the snow and plum blossoms.Although there is no fine wine, fortunately there is fragrant tea.Zigui is caring and agreeable, he is knowledgeable and interesting, Lu and Yuan are also wonderful people, they are good at responding to both articles and songs, Fu Lin and Fu Shuang are so childlike and cute, a large group of people sit drunk until almost dusk.

Just as they were chatting, someone laughed and said, "Hey, what good food are you stealing while I'm not at home!" But Chang Sheng opened the door curtain and stepped in, followed by three people.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince appeared without saying hello, and everyone in the room stood up except Zi Shi.Lu Changgeng and Yuan Shanggu handed over their hands to plead guilty, and immediately withdrew.Zhang Wen and Song saluted together and stepped aside.The room was suddenly silent, Fu Lin and Fu Shuang were obviously taken aback, staring at the person coming.Although I recognize them and know how to call them, I haven't met them a few times in total. After all, they are unfamiliar, and the two children are a little timid.

Zi Shi smiled: "Why did you come back so early today?"

Changsheng didn't answer, just stared at him.

It was very warm in the attic, and he took off his thick coat and wore a light beige long gown.The [-]-point elegant color, because of the gold and silver thread embroidered cloud pattern peonies at the collar of the collar, brings out the noble atmosphere all over the body.Holding a celadon teacup in his hand, he looked at ease, and under the glow of the candlelight, his smiling face reminded people of spring flowers and autumn moon, spring mountains and autumn waters.A few people at the door had just stepped on the white snow in the yard and passed under the plum tree. The scene in front of them was very contrasting, so they were particularly amazing and impressed.

Changsheng raised his eyes again, but he saw Zigui standing on his left, and Ningqing standing on his right, one bright and the other soft, accompanying the two sides, they complement each other just right.The crystal bowls on the table are stacked from the jade plate, inlaid with plum blossoms, and the scent of tea is lingering. The person sitting in the middle is indescribably elegant and graceful, romantic and romantic.

When he looked at himself, Zi Shi was very happy, and a little proud.

When he looked to the left, to the right, to the front, to the back, he just didn't speak, feeling guilty for no reason.

Imagine one by one, when a person who goes to work comes back from a busy day and sees the full-time idler gathering at home to eat, drink and have fun, how would he feel?

"Uh...cough," jumped over him, cleared his throat, and greeted the people behind him, "Brother Zhuang, Brother Qin." There was another one who didn't know each other, so he nodded first, "Sit down, please." His Royal Highness did not move Of course the three behind him dared not sit down, so they nodded at him first to express their respect.The one I didn't know had a dignified expression, a calm demeanor, and quite a temperament.Zi Shi took another look naturally, just as the other party was also looking at him, so he purposefully smiled again.The man bowed slightly very politely, but his expression did not change, still serious.Zi Shi secretly praised "good concentration", almost looked at him again, and held back.

At this time, Li Wen and Li Zhang came over obediently to serve His Highness and several adults, took the coat, and led the seat.Seeing Zhuang Lingchen and Qin Xi, Zigui knew that they were going to talk about something serious, so he exchanged glances with Nongqing and signaled Xiaoge Xiaoqu to take the two children back.Next, Her Royal Highness and the housekeeper did it themselves, picking up the cups and plates, making tea and pouring water, just like Zi Shi's phrase "sit quietly", just like the concubine Meiji next to Mr. Li.

Seeing his eyeballs rolling around and smiling brighter at his subordinates than at himself, Changsheng knew that it was impossible for Zhila to self-reflect.With a straight face, he snorted: "Do you think I'm coming back too early? If I don't come back again, how long are you going to spend time and drink to have fun? Huh?"

Her mouth was fierce on purpose, but she waited until the cold air brought in from outside dissipated before sitting next to him, probing her cheeks, and then touching her palms, her heart was very happy for his energetic appearance, and her face endured very hard.

Zi Shi said seriously: "There are pleasures and pleasures, but there is no such thing as extravagance. One is a virtuous sister of Shexia, and the other is a virtuous sister-in-law of the Qin family. They just say a few homely and personal words."

Hearing the words "Qin's virtuous sister-in-law", Qin Xi grinned happily.With a slight blushing on Ning Qing's face, she called out in a low voice: "Zi Shi!

Qin Xi has taken a fancy to Ningqing since the accident of Changsheng falling into the water that year, and has been unyielding for several years, insisting on long-distance remote control tracking.In the first year, he returned to Beijing to preside over the underground work. He used both public and private affairs, and finally made great progress.

The two ladies resigned, and Li Wen and Li Zhang stood outside the door in the sheltered porch to wait for orders. The atmosphere in the pavilion suddenly became dignified, and there was no more elegance and leisure than before.

Qin Xi sent Ning Qing out, and Zhuang Lingchen also sent his son back.

Zi Shi was feeling something was wrong, Chang Sheng pointed to another person and said, "Let me introduce, this is Yue Zheng." His attention was drawn away.

The two who met for the first time said at the same time: "Jiu Yang."

Without any more politeness, five people sat around the table and went straight to the point.

Changsheng nodded to Qin Xi.

"I just got the news today that the new prefect of Louxi died on the road not long after entering Chuzhou."

Zi Shi's expression tightened, and he looked at Chang Sheng.After returning to Shunjing, he basically didn't talk about the affairs of the court, and he didn't ask about it.Once he said it, he must be in a dilemma, he had to listen to his own opinion (as for those bits and pieces that come back to show off when they are depressed, they are not serious, they are automatically blocked).Except for a few cronies who were familiar with staying in the capital at the beginning, this was the first time that he officially brought his subordinates back, and it was also the first time that he officially mentioned the situation in Chuzhou.

Looking at the expressions of the other two, it was obvious that they had already known the news in advance, and they said it specially for themselves.Turning around to ask Qin Xi: "How did you die?"

"It is said that they encountered bandits and bandits. After a few days, we should be able to get more detailed information."

Zi Shi nodded, knowing that Qin Xi had other unofficial channels.

The person who chased Fu Chuqing once found a rotting corpse in the mountainous area at the junction of Shu and Chu, and roughly judged that it probably belonged to the last emperor of Jinxia who had a bad relationship with others.Entering the territory of Chuzhou, the clues became more and more blurred. Changsheng withdrew most of his staff and only selected a few stable and reliable ones to monitor the movement of Chuzhou together with the secret person left by Qin Xi.Taking this as a sign, individual revenge actions against Fu were transformed into a long-term comprehensive management project for the entire Chuzhou.

Qin Xi went on to say: "According to the records of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, similar things have been happening for the past few years, but most officials are not high-ranking, and if something happens, they will be selected and supplemented on the spot. The Baisha Gang was hit hard at Xiabei Pass, and since then they have been lurking, and the assassination of officials has been much less. This time it was launched suddenly, and it was a fifth-rank magistrate, and the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Punishment were alarmed."

Qin Xi's current position is the doctor of the Ministry of Punishment.The rank is not too high, but the palm of the hand supervises Tina, which is quite powerful.

After listening to these words, Zi Shi asked: "It has always happened in the past—that is to say, there are often magistrates sent by the imperial court to Chuzhou to die on the way to take office. So what does Brother Qin mean by 'selecting and supplementing on the spot'?" ?"

Zhuang Lingchen explained: "That's right, when Prince Jing Lie attacked Chuzhou..."

Zi Shi frowned.Prince Jing Lie?Ah, now that I think about it, it's Fuding.It's an honorable title.

"In recent years, Chuzhou has been guarded by the people left behind by Prince Jing Lie. Although it has always been unstable, no one else is willing to take this muddy water. Fu, military and political affairs are at his disposal. The local county magistrate Cheng Wei is vacant, and the people sent by the court cannot be filled, so Shan Qu finds someone to fill it. This situation, with the emperor's acquiescence, has lasted for two or three years. "

One by one, because of this, the prince wanted to take Chuzhou into surgery, but no one in the court raised any opinions.hand type

Zi Shi said slowly: "From this point of view, these accidents may be the assassination actions of the remnants of the rebel forces such as the Baisha Gang, or it may be Master Xuanfu..."

Zhuang Lingchen nodded on the opposite side.After King Jingbei canonized the crown prince, Zhan Shi of the palace was transferred to the center, and served as secretary Ling Mo Siyu's deputy, Secretary Lang.

"There is another possibility." It was Yue Zheng who spoke.He had just resigned from the grain supervising army, and was going to work as a servant in the household department.

——His Highness the Crown Prince's deployment of his own people in the court is much more gentle and reserved than King Jingbei's previous military campaign to unify the territory.

Seeing everyone staring at him, Yue Zheng said in a deep voice: "The rogues and bandits may not be the remnants of the Baisha Gang, nor Master Xuanfu's other schemes, or they are pure rogues and bandits." After a short pause, "I saw this Chuzhou has reported the number of Dingkou to the Ministry of Households for several years. In the third year of Yongqian, it began to register and naturalize. In that year, it totaled more than 19 households and more than 72 households. By last year, it was Yonggan six In [-], the number of households decreased by more than [-], and the population decreased by about [-]. The rest of the prefectures, no matter how large or small, all increased, except Chuzhou, which did not increase but decreased.”

His eyes suddenly sharpened: "Where did all these people go?"

Zhuang Lingchen knocked on the table: "First, he was forced to become a slave by entering the government office of officials and generals. Second, he was slaughtered because he disobeyed orders. Third, he fled into the deep mountains and wild forests and became a bandit."

Zi Shi seemed to be in a daze, his eyes were far away, and he said softly: "Chuzhou has been under the direct control of the imperial court since Jinxia, ​​and it has never been more prosperous. Seven hundred thousand... When we passed by, even Louxi was more than this amount. "

Chang Sheng suddenly looked at him: "I checked this Shanqu, and it turned out that he was the one who dug the grave in the Hua Family Cemetery."

Zi Shi looked away: "Changsheng, this person deserves to die."

As soon as this sentence was spoken, the three people over there suddenly felt that the spring flowers and autumn moon in their previous impressions immediately dissipated, and the spring mountains and autumn waters instantly froze, leaving only ice, snow and cold plums in their eyes, chilling and cold.
