Abandoned Prince Survival Guide

On the way back, there was one more person on the carriage, and that was Ji Hai who had not fully recovered.

He was stabbed several times in that siege battle and almost died of blood loss. Fortunately, he had good health and a strong will to survive, and the 800-year-old ginseng tree that Xiao Yu asked Pei Linzhi to bring, he could barely Bring people back.

Ji Hai lay in the carriage and said weakly, "Your Majesty, please forgive me for not being able to stand up and salute."

Xiao Yu said: "What stupid things are you talking about, and I still need to stick to this? Lie down and recuperate well, as long as you are fine. When I heard that you were injured, I almost died of worry. Fortunately, you are still alive."

Ji Hai coughed twice: "It's a humble job that's too useless."

Xiao Yu patted him on the shoulder: "No, you are very brave, you are our hero."

Both A Ping and Ju Yan said: "Brother, you are my hero!"

Ji Hai looked at Ju Yan, smiled, and stretched out his hand to him: "A Yan, long time no see, you have grown up so much."

Ju Yan stretched out his hand to hold Ji Hai's hand, his eyes were a little red, and he choked up and said, "Brother, do you feel pain?"

When he left the stockade and first arrived in Baisha Village, Ji Hai was always with him and took care of him. Among all the seniors, he had the deepest relationship with Ji Hai. Seeing him hurt like this, he almost lost the golden bean.

Ji Hai shook his head lightly: "I'm fine, I'm almost fine. I heard from Master that you passed the selection test. You are really good. Congratulations!"

Ju Yan said embarrassingly: "I only passed the initial test, but I didn't pass the general test."

Ji Hai said: "It doesn't matter, you are still young, and there will be plenty of opportunities in the future. My brothers and sisters, I join the army, I want to return to medicine, you study literature, and you will help His Majesty well in the future."

Ah Ping was in a hurry: "Elder brother, there is still me and me."

Ji Hai shifted his gaze to A Ping's face, and silently said to his face, "A Ping will be a genius with both civil and military skills in the future, and we will assist His Majesty together."

Ah Ping was happy, and nodded sharply: "Yes. I also want to assist Daddy!"

Xiao Yu looked at the children and felt boundless relief in his heart: "Okay, thank you, then you all have to work hard."

"Well, Daddy, I worked hard." A Ping nodded seriously.

Back in the palace, the cook had already reorganized the food, added more dishes, and added more wine.

The corner of Xiao Yu's mouth hadn't moved since he saw Pei Linzhi. Even though Xiao Yao was there during the meal, Xiao Yu's eyes never left Pei Linzhi.

After eating, Xiao Yu asked someone to prepare bath water for Pei Linzhi.There is also a special geothermal bath in the Duke's Mansion, which is bigger than the one in the Governor's Mansion in Panyu. Usually Xiao Yu rarely uses it because it is too extravagant and wasteful, so he only uses a tub to bathe.When Pei Linzhi came back today, he specially asked someone to burn such a pool of water to wash away the dust and fatigue all over his body.

After entering the bathroom, they screened away the waiters, and the two hugged each other at the same time, Pei Linzhi kissed each other without knowing it, after being separated for several months, the lovesickness was engraved into the bones and blood.

Both of them are like fish that have been dehydrated for a long time, finally found their own ocean, desperately breathing the long-lost air.

It took a long time to take a bath, and in the end Xiao Yu was carried back by Pei Linzhi, and he was a little exhausted.The moment his body was in the air, he suddenly remembered something: "You have driven for so long, you are already tired, I will go by myself."

Pei Linzhi's arms tightened, and his chin rubbed against his forehead: "Don't move, I will always have the strength to hug you."

Xiao Yu raised the corners of his mouth, looked up at his stubbled face, couldn't help but reach out and touch it, it was so sexy.

Pei Linzhi looked down at him, both of them had only each other in their eyes.

Walking to the door, Xiang Yang, who was guarding the door, bowed his head, cupped his fists and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, Ah Ping wants to go back to his room to sleep tonight?"

Xiao Yu came back to his senses: "Oh, yes. I'll go and tell him." He poked Pei Linzhi's chest with his hand, then pointed to the ground, motioning him to put himself down.

Pei Linzhi didn't let go: "Then please tell the guards to talk to Aping."

Xiang Yang nodded: "Yes!" After speaking, he took a step back, turned around, and walked quickly towards the bedroom, never looking directly at the two of them.

Xiao Yu whispered, "You'd better put me down."

"Are you afraid of being seen?" Pei Linzhi asked.

Xiao Yu said: "I'm worried that Aping will see it, he's still young."

Pei Linzhi said: "It's okay, I'll tell him."

Xiao Yu's eyes widened, what did he want to tell A Ping?

They walked to the door of the bedroom, and Ah Ping was coming out of the door. Seeing Xiao Yu being hugged, he hurried over: "Daddy, what's wrong with you? Why is Master holding you?"

Pei Linzhi said: "Your father accidentally twisted his foot, I will carry him back."

Xiao Yu: "..."

A Ping became nervous: "Does daddy hurt? Do you want to call the second division—no, the second senior brother is not at home, then I will go to the imperial doctor to show daddy."

Pei Linzhi said: "It's okay, your master, I can set the bones. I have a small problem, just rest for two days and it will be fine."

Xiao Yu reached out and touched A Ping's head: "Daddy is fine, you can go to sleep."

Pei Linzhi carried Xiao Yu into the bedroom, put him on the bed, and Ah Ping followed, "Daddy, are you alright?"

Xiao Yu said, "Really. Don't worry."

Pei Linzhi said: "Go back to your room and sleep, I will take care of your father."

"Oh, good." Ah Ping nodded and went out.

After finally sending this little guy away, Xiao Yu couldn't help laughing: "Really, why bother telling such a lie, I will continue to lie tomorrow."

"It's harmless. He will know about our relationship sooner or later. Let him get used to it." Pei Linzhi also went to bed, put his arms around Xiao Yu, buried his face in his neck and shoulders, took a deep breath, and gently stroked Xiao Yu with his hand. Yu's back.

Xiao Yu leaned on him and pulled back his skirt: "Let me see your wounds."

Pei Linzhi grabbed his hand: "Don't look at it, isn't it already healed? There is no one who is not injured in a war, and this is just a superficial injury."

Xiao Yu said: "You didn't even tell me in the letter. Besides, you are a commander, how could you be injured? Did you go to charge again?"

Pei Linzhi said: "Occasionally, I have to go to the battlefield in person, depending on the situation. I won't tell you, because it's just a small injury, which is harmless."

Xiao Yu sighed: "Thinking that the East Rong and Xi Rong are still there, I feel very unhappy. I don't know how many battles there are to be fought. This time I fought Xi Rong, and so many soldiers were killed or injured."

Pei Linzhi comforted him: "There is no one who will not die in a war, and the war is also to kill fewer people. You haven't seen the cruelty that the Xirong people treat us Han people. It really makes people feel that they can't forgive the hatred. Let's not talk about this Now, go back and clean them up. Tell me about the current situation in the capital."

Xiao Yu then talked about recent events. Meng Hong came over and took Meng Si back to his hometown. Guan Shan was so excited that he fell in love with the only female candidate this time.

Pei Linzhi said with a smile: "That's good, it's finally settled."

Xiao Yu said: "I don't know if it will go well. The situation in that girl's family is a bit complicated. But as long as they are in love, I will help them."

Pei Linzhi said: "The relationship between Lai Feng and Guan Shan has settled down, only Xiang Yang is left."

Xiao Yu played with Pei Linzhi's belt with his fingers: "Why don't you persuade him and let him go to the army."

Pei Linzhi looked into his eyes, and said after a while: "Okay, I'll talk to him sometime. I won't talk about this anymore. We haven't seen each other for so long, and we keep talking about what other people do."

Xiao Yu laughed, opened his mouth and bit his nose: "Then what do you want to say?"

Pei Linzhi turned over and pressed the man under him: "I don't want to do anything, I just want to do something." After speaking, he kissed her.

The spring night was so short that Xiao Yu got up late the next day.When he came to court, the courtiers had been waiting for a long time.

Walking outside the hall, Pei Linzhi suddenly leaned into his ear and said a few words, Xiao Yu came over knowingly, put his hand on his arm, and shuffled his feet forward bit by bit.

Entering the gate of the palace, Xiao Yu said: "I have kept you all waiting for a long time. I accidentally sprained my foot last night. It is somewhat inconvenient to move. I am late. Please forgive me."

Of course the courtiers who had been waiting for almost half an hour did not dare to say anything. The emperor came to the court even when he was sick. Isn't he not professional?Occasionally being late is definitely excusable.But Pei Linzhi was not injured, why did he come so late?

Xiao Yu sat down with Pei Linzhi's support, and said, "There is a book to play."

Wang Qi then reported the trial release of the list, and then said: "Your Majesty, do you want to hand over this list to the Ministry of Officials, and let the Ministry of Officials arrange personnel directly?"

Xiao Yu said: "Don't worry, let's arrange another palace test for these three hundred candidates. I will write the questions and invigilate the test myself." He felt that it was inappropriate for one test to determine the future of these people, so he tried again. A comparison should be more objective.

Wang Qi said: "The minister will arrange it."

Next, Pei Linzhi reported on the situation of the battle against Xirong, discussing rewards for meritorious service, comforting the injured soldiers, and comforting the dead. These are all memorials he slowly prepared on the way back to Beijing. Everyone's blood and sweat flowed in vain.

After listening to his report, Xiao Yu nodded and said, "What General Pei said is very true. The soldiers who shed their blood on the front line should be appeased and commended. Let's do it according to the standards proposed by General Pei."

Min Chong stood up: "Your Majesty, the number of casualties is huge, and the current treasury may not be able to afford it. I believe that the commercial tax should be implemented."

Xiao Yu nodded: "Quite. Later, Min Aiqing will submit the specific methods and standards for commercial tax collection."

Pei Linzhi said: "I would like to inform Your Majesty that the national treasury is empty. This is a difficult period for the country. There should be no additional demands during this period. However, nearly [-] soldiers died in the battle of Xirong. If the pensions of the dead are all deducted , it would be too damaging to morale. I am afraid that it will not be easy to recruit troops in the future.”

"What Pei Aiqing said is very true. Min Aiqing, is there really no other way?" Xiao Yu asked Min Chong.

Min Chong said: "There is no way. Your Majesty promised the people of the world at the enthronement ceremony that day that the land will be equalized when the world is initially settled. I think it is time to fulfill the promise."

When Min Chong's words came out, the court was shocked, and the ministers all started to discuss. They were clearly talking about the pension, but how did it become the equalization of the land? How can the land be equalized?

A minister came out and said, "Master Min, you should explain clearly, what is the relationship between pensions and land equalization?"

Min Chong said: "Of course it is related. All the land will be nationalized, and then the land will be distributed according to the per capita, so that everyone has land to cultivate. And some commercial land, such as building manors and shops, needs to buy land from the government. This is is the source of the pension."

The faces of the people in the court changed: "You mean, all the land will be nationalized, including those with land deeds?"

Min Chong nodded: "Exactly."

This time even Wang Qi was shocked: "How can this be done?" Never before has an emperor treated a family like this.

Min Chong raised his eyebrows: "Why not?"
