old grace

The purpose of Xie Qinghe's trip was to plead for Mrs. Jiang's life. After successfully getting Chen Qi's handwritten letter, he did not resign immediately.

According to the analysis of Chen Cong's memory, Xie Qinghe thinks that Chen Qi has a very "pretentious" temper. Since he openly expressed kindness to his son and promised Chen Cong to return to Xiangzhou to open the mansion as a "director", then he must secretly wait for his son to give him Feedback - I gave you sweets, and you just ate them for nothing?Even if they are father and son, they have to settle accounts clearly.

So, after collecting the letter, Xie Qinghe didn't mention the matter of going back to Xiangzhou immediately, and just followed Chen Qi's side, serving on the saddle.

During the war, everything was kept simple, and Chen Qi himself did not have the problem of arrogance and extravagance. Moreover, Xia Shang and his attendants were by his side to take care of him. Xie Qinghe was more like a small follower, hanging around his legs.When Chen Qi listened to the general's report on the military situation, Xie Qinghe sat on the side and roasted sweet potatoes for Chen Qi. Chen Qi went out to patrol the battlefield in frost and snow to appease the wounded soldiers.

Everyone at the bottom praised the young man for his filial piety, and Chen Qi even reprimanded him pretending to be displeased: "This servant is a lowly servant, I really don't make progress!" After scolding, he opened his mouth cheerfully, laughing so hard that he couldn't see his teeth.

Xie Qinghe: "..."

At night Chen Qi arranged for Xie Qinghe to sleep in the same military tent with him, no matter how simple his military tent was, it was better than other tents.

Xia Shang brought hot water, and the father and son washed their faces and feet together.

In order to consider Mrs. Jiang's future, and don't know when the master will come, Xie Qinghe doesn't mind taking off Chen Qi's boots.On the contrary, Chen Qi saw that his boots were stained with mud and water, and waved Xie Qinghe to get out of the way: "How many clothes did you bring? Tell the bitch to take them off."

Xia Shang hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down, skillfully took off Chen Qi's boots, first soaked in a basin of slightly cool water, and then slowly added hot water.

It was only then that Xie Qinghe discovered that Chen Qi's feet were covered with chilblains, red and swollen everywhere, and many places where they rubbed against the military boots were torn and festered.

The servant brought hot water to serve Xie Qinghe to soak his feet.Xie Qinghe was sitting on the ponytail, and put his cold feet in the copper basin. Chen Qi also tilted his head to look at his feet, and told him, "Wear warmer on weekdays. Who will take care of the daily life along the way? It's not freezing."

Although Chen Cong's physique cannot practice cultivation, he was maintained and exercised by Xie Qinghe to be very healthy. People's hands and feet will suffer from chilblains, most of which are due to insufficient blood circulation. Xie Qinghe is full of energy and blood when he is a young martial artist. Repeatedly, as long as the temperature is not absolutely cold, it is impossible to give birth to frostbite.

However, when Chen Qi asked who would take care of the daily life, Xie Qinghe still reported Chen Li's name: "Leading the horse, falling on the pedals, burning charcoal and delivering water, all are served by Chen Li. He was originally the master of riding and archery for my father, and my son went all the way." When he came to Shuzhou, he insisted on accompanying him, saying that it was my father's request."

Putting aside the usual mention of this matter, Chen Qi's duplicity was exposed, and Chen Qi would probably turn into anger from embarrassment.

However, in this simple battlefield military tent, the drama of father's kindness and son's filial piety is being staged.Xie Qinghe mentioned this on purpose, Chen Qi only regarded his son as being grateful and coquettish, and his pride was hidden under the surface, almost overflowing: "He still understands the importance."

All the servants and servants in the room felt it, and the Lord Lang was in a very good mood.

Chen Qi's feet were full of chilblains, and it was quite troublesome to clean them. Xie Qinghe's feet were white and healthy, and he wiped his feet after soaking them to warm them up.

He turned around to look for his accompanying luggage, and his servants immediately followed to help put it back. Xie Qinghe dug out his medicine pouch from the package, found the bottle of unused frostbite ointment, walked up to Chen Qi, and motioned for Xia Shang Step aside.

Xie Qinghe squatted down, Xia Shang carefully handed out a soft and clean cloth towel, Xie Qinghe lifted Chen Qi's rotten foot, wiped it gently and quickly, and took advantage of the opportunity to dry his foot on his lap.

Chen Qi's breathing was a little lighter because of his son, Xie Qinghe was calm and sophisticated, Chen Cong's skin was only eight years old, no matter how much he practiced martial arts, his body couldn't grow stronger, Chen Qi put a big foot on his knee Once released, it was half the size of Xie Qinghe's chest.

If this was served by a little servant, Chen Qi wouldn't be so careful, but, that's his own son!

Chen Qi was afraid that he would crush his son, so he stretched his waist and hung his legs, Xiao Maza couldn't stand his tossing, so he fell backwards.

Thanks to the many servants standing beside him, Chen Qi was supported by two or three, and the little horse was also straightened up.Chen Qi stepped on the icy permafrost and lost his temper with his servants: "Will you not help Xiao Langjun?"

While apologizing, Xia Shang went to get Xie Qinghe a ponytail.

Finally, the father and son moved to the side of the camp bed, Chen Qi washed his feet again, and lay comfortably on the bed, Xia Shang held up the lamp, and Xie Qinghe slowly cleaned up his frozen feet.The little fingers of both feet were very cold, and the skin was torn and sticky. Xie Qinghe first applied a thick layer, wrapped it with gauze, and then applied medicine to other places.

From the beginning to the end, Chen Qi never asked him about the origin of the medicine he brought or whether it was safe, and Xia Shang didn't say a word either.

"Father." Xie Qinghe wiped the medicine gently, "I returned to Xiangzhou and handed over the prescription of frostbite ointment to the pharmacy, but some of the medicines are not easy to cultivate, and a large number of them can only be replaced by other medicinal materials. Worse."

Chen Qi looked up at the old dome of the tent, hummed, and said, "Is it also in the old collection of Sangshan?"

Xie Qinghe didn't answer, and handed the frostbite medicine to Xia Shang, saying: "Tomorrow, I will apply the medicine for my father, and you put the medicine away." Then he asked Chen Qi, "Are my father's boots too tight? Loose Some just to keep warm."

Chen Qi let out a hey, got up and squeezed Xie Qinghe's face, and said: "Jiaoer in the Qiluo bush, I will take you to step on the foot-high snow tomorrow, so you know what matters if your boots are tight or tight? After all, it’s as cold as iron!”

Xie Qinghe doesn't like being pinched in the face.

Chen Qi took a closer look at him, and said with a chuckle: "You're still angry. Can't you pinch your face?"

Seeing that Xie Qinghe ignored him, he looked at his clean feet again.

Xie Qinghe has practiced medicine many times in the enchanted world, treating people with frostbite is a piece of cake, not to mention there is already prepared frostbite medicine in hand, the rest is nothing more than cleaning the wound for Chen Qi.His technique was clean and in place, supplemented by cutting blood to relieve pain, Chen Qi didn't feel any discomfort during the whole process, and most importantly, the place where the frostbite was itchy and painful became calm, and the wound became clean and beautiful.

——Even the top doctor in the army cannot give Chen Qi such advanced and effective treatment and enjoyment.

Chen Qi would suffer from chilblains every winter, and all kinds of folk remedies had been exhausted. If there were no wars in winter, it would be fine to stay at home and warm his hands and feet all the time.Today is the winter night when the frostbite on Chen Qi's feet is the most subdued.

"Go to sleep." Chen Qi didn't want his son to return to Xiangzhou too early, "I will take you to Qingzhou tomorrow to see the scenery of Qin Ting's capital."

■

Qingzhou was the accompanying capital of the Qin court. Emperor Longbai of the fifth Qin Dynasty was at odds with the Empress Dowager Xian. He visited Qingzhou all the year round and refused to return the capital. With the courtiers urging him three times and asking him four times, he returned to Qin and lived there for half a year.However, Long Bai liked the scenery of Qingzhou, and soon returned to live in another palace in Qingzhou, and even thought about moving the capital.

From then on, once the Qin imperial family fought internally, those who were decent or not would go to Qingzhou.

"The Yu family has dominated Qingzhou for 40 years. Three days ago, Hua Pu was still dreaming that one day he would take over the capital of Qin."

Chen Qi led Xie Qinghe into the gate of the other palace in Qingzhou, the traces of the flames of war were still fresh, the corpses who died in the war nearby had been carried away, and the blood was still sprinkled on the floor and palace walls, leaving dark or deep shadows .

"Stylish?" Chen Qi asked.

At this time, the kings of the royal family liked to build high platforms when building palaces.

Xie Qinghe followed Chen Qi's gaze to the towering Izumo Palace in front of him, and said, "Stylish."

"This is yours." Chen Qi said straightforwardly.

Xie Qinghe was a little confused.What is mine?Seal me in Qingzhou?Didn't you tell me to go back to Xiangzhou Kaifu?Moreover, do you really regard yourself as the emperor?Tell me to guard in Qingzhou, and I don't have soldiers and horses in my hands, won't Qin Ting come and beat me?Will Xiao Cheng from Zhouzhou next door come and beat me?

Even though he was full of confusion, Xie Qinghe knelt down and bowed "with a happy face": "Thank you, father, for the reward."

The father and son took soldiers and horses for a walk in the palace city to see the legendary willows on the palace wall and the Golden Terrace. Chen Qi had obviously read a lot of history books, so he pointed out to Xie Qinghe along the way: "This should be Yucheng Palace, Legend has it that King Juancheng was summoned to the palace, and Di Peng broke his head with a jade hammer, bled to death, and was buried under a ginkgo tree... Ask someone to dig it out, is there any corpse of King Juancheng?"

Xie Qinghe knew what Chen Qi was playing.

Di Peng is the eighth emperor of Qin Dynasty, who ascended to the throne by murdering his brother. He got the wrong position and was often discussed.King Juancheng is the son of his elder brother, the former Prince Ying, who was killed by Di Peng. According to historical records, King Juancheng has been foolish and stupid since he was sensible. When he was beaten to death by Di Peng, he thought his uncle was playing games with him. Before that, he cried and asked his majesty why he smashed his ministers?Crying and complaining that Zichen had a headache...he was crushed to death by Di Peng.

In Chen Cong's memory, after Chen Qi captured Qingzhou, he dug up the body of Juancheng King and buried it solemnly.While mourning the unlucky boy who was crushed to death at the age of eight, he accused Di Peng of being violent and fundamentally denied the orthodoxy of the current Qin court royal family.

After all, the emperors who counted up to three generations were wrong. The great-grandfather was a bad guy who killed his brothers and nephews. Could a great-grandson be a good thing?

Chen Qi is bound to win the world.

This is the clarion call to attack Qin Ting.

After instructing his servants to dig up the body of King Juancheng, Chen Qi took Xie Qinghe for a walk until An Ying came to see him.

An Ying used to be Shan Xugang's confidant. After Shuzhou City was broken, An Ying had a conflict with Shan Xugang because of the war. She was sentenced to military law by Shan Xugang and was almost beheaded. , Instead of punishing An Ying with a military stick, before An Ying recovered from her injuries, this person ran to Chen Qi's tent and cried, anyway, he refused to return to work under Shan Xugang's tent.

Chen Qi understood what Shan Xugang and An Ying were playing. After he comforted An Ying, he went to sit in Shan Xugang's tent, and the matter was completed.

The most valiant and skilled general under Shan Xugang's command fell into the hands of Chen Qi. Within three years of Chen Qi's mourning in Xiangzhou, nearly [-]% of the [-] elite soldiers that Shan Xugang brought up in Puyang were diluted with An Ying to Chen Qi's command.Shan Xugang's lack of troops will be made up by the captives and surrendered soldiers received in recent years - this is Shan Xugang's active and low-key arrangement, and Chen Qi doesn't need to bother at all.

Shan Xugang is smart and loyal, so no matter how Qin Ting spreads rumors, Chen Qi always trusts him without any doubt.

Chen Qi and Shan Xugang have no doubts about their sincerity, and An Ying certainly has no strange thoughts.Seeing a group of guards surrounding the lord master and the young lord from a distance, An Ying trotted forward to greet him: "Master lord, the servant is late."

"This is General An." Chen Qi casually introduced to Xie Qinghe.

An Ying hastily saluted: "Servant An Ying, pay my respects to Mr. Xiao Lang."

In history, this General An was very famous, and he was worshiped as a general and ranked as a lieutenant.

When Chen Cong was the prince, he felt that Chen Qi doted on his cousin Chen Jun more. He thought his status was precarious, and wanted to marry An Ying's daughter as a side concubine, so as to win over An Ying and increase his power.When An Ying received the news, she simply married off all her daughters and even the nieces in the clan.

An Ying took this matter too far, and the all-in-one marriage of a daughter made too much noise, making Chen Cong very angry.

The most amazing thing is that after Chen Qi knew about this, he clapped his hands and laughed, and deliberately brought Chen Cong to the front of the imperial court, mocking him viciously.

After Chen Qi died, Chen Cong ascended the throne smoothly, and deliberately brought An Ying's little granddaughter into the palace as a concubine.

An's died of a sudden illness less than half a year after entering the palace. It was said to be a sudden illness, but in fact she died of being tortured by Chen Cong.In order to retaliate against An Ying, Chen Cong unprecedentedly allowed Concubine An's coffin to be sent back to her natal family for burial. Ying died suddenly.

In the first half of her life, An Ying worked hard on the pommel horse and made great contributions to the Chen family, but because of the dispute between Chen's father and son, her later life was miserable, which can be called a tragedy.

The moment Xie Qinghe saw An Ying, his whole life flashed through his mind, and even Chen Cong's resentment and dissatisfaction towards him all passed through his heart one by one, and was quickly suppressed by Xie Qinghe: "General Mingde, please forgive me!" , please get up."

"Is it safe in the city?" Chen Qi's question was very gentle.

An Ying glanced at Xie Qinghe unobtrusively. Both Chen Qi and his son were very calm and did not intend to evade at all, so he said: "Don't let Yang Lin hold the seal to surrender. In Zhizhong, Yu Yan led an ambush to attack, and the servants just cleaned it up."

This is the presence of Mr. Xiao Lang, who is still young, and he didn't say anything particularly cruel.The so-called cleaning up must be a massacre.

"Yu Yan and Hua Pu's five generations of in-laws." Chen Qi pointed at An Ying, "I also want to listen to gossip."

An Ying apologized, and said: "The Hua family has been counted. Except for Hua Pu, Hua Li, Hua Zhen and his son, the rest are all on the register."

Chen Qi didn't intend to look at the captives, but instead asked, "Have you found Hua Pu?"

"Still searching." An Ying said cautiously, "Maybe they are fleeing to the west..."

To the west is the direction Xie Qinghe came from yesterday.At that time, a large wave of rout soldiers fled and bypassed Xie Qinghe's camp in the chaos. If Hua Pu escaped among them, it would not be impossible.

Chen Qi didn't seem to be very worried about this: "Qingzhou's armor is almost wiped out. Where can Hua Pu go when he escapes alone? Tell me to go down and search for the body if you can find it. If you can't find it, forget it. It's cold, call The children clean up the battlefield and rest as soon as possible, so as not to freeze."

An Ying immediately smiled, cupped her hands and said, "Yes."

While speaking, Chen Qi led Xie Qinghe forward, and after a few words, he had already turned to the back of the other palace.

The Hua family has been keeping Qingzhou as their capital since they were conferred the title of shepherd in Qingzhou 40 years ago. In the past 30 years, the situation has changed and all heroes have emerged simultaneously. The Hua family has also moved a lot of thoughts. In order to save face, Qin Ting had no choice but to issue an edict to appoint the Hua family's children as Qingzhou shepherds, and the Hua family also officially moved the yamen to another palace to handle business.

"The Hua family has occupied Qingzhou for 40 years. They killed the state shepherd sent by the Qin court and worked in the Izumo Palace. It is ridiculous but they dare not openly enter and leave the other palaces, leaving a large part of the palace empty." Chen Qi stretched out his hand and pushed open a palace. The gate, the palace was cleaned cleanly, and there were even various furniture and utensils, but there was no sign of anyone living there.

Xie Qinghe thought to himself, you built imitation palaces in Xiangzhou, didn't you also cover it up and dare not build it too arrogantly?That is to say, now that the battle is going smoothly, the territory is getting bigger and bigger, and the enemy is getting weaker and weaker, so they dare to laugh at others.

Chen Qi stood for a while, feeling that the place was a bit cold, and said, "Is it a bit off?"

An Ying replied: "Yes. This is Jiannan Palace, which is located on the west line of the other palace. The sun has not yet risen, so it is a bit cold."

"Let's go to Jian'an Palace." When Chen Qi turned around, he even touched the back of Xie Qinghe's head. The place where the emperor sleeps should be a good place."

An Ying opened her mouth, but did not speak in the end.

Chen Qi took Xie Qinghe to Jian'an Palace, and continued to talk about the ancient times along the way, talking about the past in the other palace.

After walking to the Jian'an Palace, Chen Qi discovered that there were no longer any people living here. There were piles of relics of Emperor Long Bai of the fifth Qin Dynasty inside, and the gods of Long Bai and the concubines were enshrined inside.He was stunned: "When did this happen?"

An Ying is not quite clear: "I think it is... the arrangement of the Hua family?"

Chen Qi walked into the main hall, looked at the god tablet on the altar for a while, then suddenly reached out and tore off the plain towel on the table, and poured the shriveled pastries and clean vases of flowers on the altar table land.

"Is it cold?" Chen Qi asked Xie Qinghe.

Regardless of whether Xie Qinghe was cold or not, Chen Qi asked for a brazier from the servants—not a hand stove, but a brazier.

He took his son to sit in the main hall of the other palace where the god of the Qin emperor was enshrined, Xia Shang led his servants to sweep down all the gods on the altar, and piled them up beside Chen Qi.He first put the largest and most luxurious throne of Emperor Qin V in the middle into the brazier. Seeing that the fire would not rot, he took it out and asked An Ying to chop it up with a knife, and then put it into the basin as firewood to keep warm.

"You used to be young, and my father never told you about the past." Chen Qi looked at the burnt altar, and continued talking about the past.

"My grandfather, that is, your great-grandfather, Chen Pidao—now he is honored as Pi Daogong. He was born in the grass, and he didn't have a name at first. He only knew his surname Chen. He had a craft of leather making, and his neighbors called him' Leather knife. You seldom wear leather now, you wear silk and the finest cotton cloth, don’t you? Hehe, when my father was young, the most prestigious thing was to wear wild animal skins, tiger skins, and bear skins. To wear leopard skin..."

"It's far away. Let's talk about your great-grandfather first. He is an old man with excellent craftsmanship and is famous in the countryside. There are rich people in neighboring counties who hunt wild animals. He will also invite your great-grandfather to tan. He also made a lot of money with this good craftsmanship. A lot of money, married one wife and one concubine, and had several children."

"If this continues, there will be no you and me." Chen Qi said suddenly.

Xie Qinghe couldn't laugh or cry.

The family history of the Chen family is no secret, after all, Chen Qi is a fierce man who became the emperor, and his ancestors have been wiped out for eight generations.

Chen Fu is a veteran of Chen Pidao, because Chen Pidao experienced a disaster when he was young, and all his wives, concubines and children died cleanly.This matter is inseparable from Qin Ting.Chen Qi burned the throne of Emperor Qin V in the Jian'an Palace, and told his son the story of his ancestors. Telling the family feud was a secondary purpose, as long as it was to promote the rationality of Chen replacing Qin—the Chen family had feuds with the Qin royal family.

"In the third year of Fenggu, the ninth emperor issued an imperial edict to recruit hundreds of craftsmen to build the Long Live Palace in the king's capital. Cobblers were not included in the recruitment. Building palaces, stonemasons, carpenters, gardeners, painters, carvers, potters... ...the cobbler is useless."

"Cong'er, have you ever seen a slave laborer how to dig soil and stone, and how to build a platform with earth?"

Of course Xie Qinghe "hasn't" seen it.After Chen Cong was born, the major projects of the Chen Mansion in Xiangzhou were almost finished, and the Chen family was in a hurry to fight the world outside, so how could they care about the family?He shook his head.

"It's harder than killing people." Chen Qi said.

An Ying accompanied him respectfully, and the corners of her mouth twitched when she heard this.

"Every day is endless heavy work. At night, I sleep on the rocky wilderness. The servants have to bring their own food. It didn't take long for many conscripts to die of illness and starvation. Overseers and soldiers came to remove the dead bodies. Sometimes, before it’s too late, the corpses rot and stink on the construction site.”

"People kept running away, were caught back, and kept running."

"The emperor just asked about the progress of the Long Live Palace. He was very angry when he heard that the servants had fled."

"At this time, cobblers are needed. The angry emperor ordered cobblers to be recruited. After the runaway servants were captured, they peeled their skins one by one, filled them with grass, and erected them on the construction site with wooden frames, intimidating the rest of the conscripts to prevent them from escaping again. "

"Your great-grandfather," Chen Qi couldn't help but smile when he mentioned the tangerine leather knife, "he brought a lot of food, and entered the capital excitedly, thinking that he was going to tan the emperor's leather and be an imperial craftsman. Only at the construction site of the Long Live Palace did he know that the job he received from the emperor was to kill people and skin them."

"Neighbors in the countryside praised him as a kind, gentle, and honest man. How could a kind, gentle, and honest man kill and skin innocent people? After dark, a group of masons and bricklayers was connected in series, and after killing the overseer and the night watchman, they escaped."

This is obviously the pinnacle of the rebellion that year. How can the reckless craftsmen fight against Qin Ting?

"Qin Ting will not let his great-grandfather go?" Xie Qinghe knew the development of the story behind, so he had to work hard to cooperate at this moment.

"That's natural. After your great-grandfather escaped with the group of craftsmen, hehe, there were mountains around the Long Live Palace at that time. They didn't dare to take the main road, and they couldn't find the official road. They lost their way when they walked in the mountains. After asking all the way crookedly, it was not until two years later that I finally returned home." Chen Qi lied without changing his face.

Xie Qinghe knew about the past, Chen Pidao and those craftsmen were afraid of being chased by Qin Ting, so they deliberately lingered in the mountains, not daring to show up.

It fell into Chen Qi's mouth that he was lost and couldn't find his home. Putting gold on the face of his ancestors, there is always a way to save his respect.

What happened next was brutal.Qin Ting couldn't find the tangerine skin knife and the group of craftsmen hiding in the mountains, and the ninth emperor was known for his revenge, so he found the hometown of these people along the recruitment list, and executed the whole family.Chen Pidao's wife, concubine and children died tragically. The six members of the family, regardless of gender, were all skinned and filled with grass, and were displayed at the gate of the county government with wooden stakes.

When Chen Qi talked about this past event, he burned another shrine, which was the shrine of Empress Xuan, the wife of the fifth emperor.

"In the future, if he enters the capital and breaks the imperial city, he will take revenge." Chen Qi said lightly.

■

Different from the Hua family who thought about it but didn't dare, Chen Qi now has a strong army and a great momentum, and he lived in Qingzhou other palace without saying a word.

Jian'an Palace was enshrined by Hua Pu as a god, and Chen Qi also thought it was unlucky, so he arranged the sleeping place in the first palace.

This palace was built by Emperor Qin VIII. It took 20 years to complete. Except that it is not as famous as Jian'an Palace, in fact, the palace is more spacious and majestic, and the materials used are more luxurious, and it is not as old as Jian'an Palace.Chen Qi lived in the main hall, and Xie Qinghe lived in the side hall—it was not a pitiful military tent, there was no need for father and son to squeeze together.

After capturing a state city, there are many things to be busy with. Chen Qi didn't bring any counselors when he fought, and An Ying killed people and cleaned them up very skillfully.

There were surrendered ministers and generals, and Chen Qi did not accept them all.Bie Jia, who took the initiative to surrender to work in Yang Lin, was disgusted by Chen Qi very much. When he came to visit, he was scolded by Chen Qi. He was so humiliated that he took off his official uniform and left barefoot in the heavy snow.

There were also some scribes who were not very high-ranking officials, and they were given a banquet by Chen Qi, and they were brought back to Puyang to serve.

After the banquet was over, Chen Qi took out a roll of parchment and told Xie Qinghe: "Mr. Bai wrote me a list of people who can be used." He also taught his son, "Talents are available, but they cannot stay in their place of origin. Qingzhou is a newcomer, if the local If people connect together, the city will be difficult to defend."

Xie Qinghe had been in Qingzhou for four days, and Chen Qi took him by his side all the time, with the intention of entrusting Qingzhou to him.

Xie Qinghe also gradually understood Chen Qi's embarrassment.

After Shuzhou was defeated, Shan Xugang's momentum was soaring, and it was not that the army had no ideas.In order to curb this very irrational "idea", Shan Xugang took the initiative to divide the troops under his command, and handed over the most promising general, An Ying, to Chen Qi. This was a tacit and peaceful transition.

However, Chen Qi himself has useful confidantes, such as Chen Ci, Xiang Lan and others.

An Ying has the qualifications to replace Shan Xugang and command the war independently. Chen Qi can't bear to delay his talent and ability, and he can't let Chen Ci, Xiang Lan and other old troops feel cold. In this battle of Qingzhou, Chen Qi will use An Ying, just to make contributions for An Ying.

But no matter how well the Battle of Qingzhou was fought, An Ying was still an "outsider" to Chen Ci, Xiang Lan and others.

Coincidentally, Xie Qinghe came to the front line, and it was another battlefield shooting, and another winter night foot massage, Chen Qi had a bolder idea.

—— Ask her son to sit in Qingzhou, and An Ying leads an army to defend the city alone.

Chen Qi will continue to go east, pointing his sword at the capital, and Qingzhou will automatically become the "rear".In the distance, Shan Xugang led troops to support them. Even if An Ying's troops were slightly smaller, it would not be particularly dangerous.

More importantly, Qingzhou is the accompanying capital of the Qin court.The political significance of handing over the accompanying capital to his own son is quite different.

Ask Chen Cong to return to Xiangzhou to open a mansion, why not open a mansion in Qingzhou?

"I heard that Mr. Bai will also enter the city tomorrow." Xie Qinghe wanted to show his cards.

Being so ambiguous all the time, it's hard to arrange the next step.The letter written by Madam Kuan Shijiang had to be sent back to Xiangzhou, and if it was really left in Qingzhou, he had to find a way to get the little brother over.According to Xie Qinghe's thoughts, how can the junior brother leave him?

"He will bring someone to take over Qingzhou's civil affairs. He will come tomorrow, and ask him to introduce you to explain in detail." Chen Qi's attitude is also very clear.

"Father really wants to give Qingzhou to my son?" Xie Qinghe asked.

Chen Qi laughed and said: "It's not my own territory, so I don't feel bad about it. Qingzhou is the accompanying capital of the Qin court. Since the fifth emperor, the two capitals have stood side by side. There are all kinds of yamen in this city. When Bai Zhifeng comes, call him for his father. I'll send you a few more capable assistants, just go and play. Many things are fake in the books, and you have to try it yourself to know the depth."

In the previous life, Chen Qi only made Chen Cong the crown prince three years before his death, but this time the world has not been defeated, so let his son learn to be the emperor first?

Xie Qinghe didn't know why Chen Qi was crazy, but it was a good thing for him, for the younger brother, and even for the vacillating retainers and elders of the Chen family.If Chen Qi in his previous life could have decided on an heir so early, the tragedy of the An family would never have happened.

Xie Qinghe stood up and saluted: "My son, thank you father for the reward."

Chen Qi smiled, as if he was also very satisfied.

■

The next day, Bai Zhifeng brought Chen Qi's huge staff to Qingzhou.

Hearing that Chen Qi wanted to keep Xie Qinghe in Qingzhou, Bai Zhifeng looked at Xie Qinghe thoughtfully several times.

This was also the first time Chen Qi met with his masterminds and advisers after the Battle of Qingzhou, so it was natural to discuss important matters behind closed doors.In order to show how much he valued his son, Chen Qi allowed Xie Qinghe to also participate in this lengthy discussion.

Unlike the group of counselors recorded in the history books who arranged their seats in batches according to their ability and solemnly spoke according to their ranks, Chen Qi's counselors, starting from Bai Zhifeng, all sat freely and loosely. If they felt that sitting was not conducive to thinking, they could lie down It's okay, you can lie on your stomach.Xie Qinghe knew that Mao Shu and Bai Zhifeng had a good relationship, but he really didn't know that the two were so close that Mao Shu would lie in Bai Zhifeng's arms and "offer advice".

This group of counselors will provide suggestions and analyze which place to fight next, why to fight, and what are the benefits. Home education, getting used to how to fight...

Remembering that Chen Qi said that Bai Zhifeng wrote him a list of Qingzhou talents and told him who could be used, Xie Qinghe nodded secretly.

Chen Qi's team of counselors is too powerful, and their intelligence gathering capabilities are very strong.There are strong generals such as Shan Xugang, An Ying, and Chen Ci under his command, and fierce men like Tian Anmin and Zhan Xuanji in the base camp. This luxurious talent camp alone is enough to crush most of the warlords of today's forces.

The opinions of the counselors are not unified, and they have different opinions as they talk. It is a small scene for the two sides to spat at each other. Normally, it is a melee between three and four sides.Not all counselors are sharp-tongued. Mao Shu, who was lying on Bai Zhifeng's lap, knew it in his heart but was extremely stupid. When he was sprayed by someone, he sat up angrily and pulled Bai Zhifeng's sleeve angrily: "Stop clumsiness, tell him!"

Bai Zhifeng stepped forward to smooth things over, and the bowl of water was perfectly balanced, and she had to reach out her hand to Mao Shu to smooth the hair.

Xie Qinghe couldn't help but want to clap his hands.Compared with Zhan Xuanji, Bai Zhifeng really has no position, no wonder he is better than Zhan Xuanji.

After all the counselors dispersed, Chen Qi left Bai Zhifeng alone to ask about the strategy. Bai Zhifeng didn't discuss the issue of direction at all. He directly provided Chen Qi with the top, middle and bottom three strategies for attacking the capital—Chen Qi wanted to attack the capital. Wangdu, the current situation can also beat the Wangdu, Bai Zhifeng will not make other considerations.

After the discussion was over, Chen Qi sent Xie Qinghe and Bai Zhifeng to meet the scribes who stayed behind in Qingzhou.

After Hua Pu succeeded Qingzhou Mu, he moved the yamen to the Izumo Palace in the other palace. Of course, Chen Qi did not want to offend his retainers. government.

This place is not far from the other palace, less than five miles away, Bai Zhifeng is afraid of the cold and refuses to ride a horse, Xie Qinghe rides with him.

"This world, in terms of status, is still Qin Ting's world."

"Now there are more than a dozen state capitals in our hands, and there is no Mu Shou in charge. The civil servants are headed by Changshi, and the defense is under the command of the generals who are appointed by the Lord. Previously, it was agreed to come to Qingzhou to do Changshi, and it was also Donglou. The old man, the little gentleman may not have much impression, his name is Shen Yu, his character is Yingzi, he was born in Xiangzhou, he is a young friend of the master..." Bai Zhifeng Baba introduced to Xie Qinghe.

Another fierce man.

Shen Yu is good at poetry and prose, and he is as famous a writer as Tian Wen in later generations, but his most powerful thing is not his pen, but his ability to regulate civil affairs and preside over agricultural affairs.The prefectures and counties he governed rarely suffered from famine even in disaster years. After Chen Qi ascended the throne, he was placed in the Ministry of Civil Affairs to be in charge of the world's agricultural affairs.

Shen Mata is also one of the gods of agriculture worshiped by the people in later generations. The simple people believe that as long as they are blessed by Shen Mata, there will be no famine forever.

If you want to teach farmers to farm well, the right time, place and people are indispensable.

Natural disasters can be relieved, and geography can be transformed, but there are too many entanglements in personnel matters, such as the shepherds of a place tyrannizing the people, the imperial court recruiting corvees for no reason to waste the people's power, such as the excessive taxation of the imperial grain and the state tax so that the people have no one to depend on... Shen Mata is in power If one party can guarantee that there will be no famine, then he must be a fierce man with an extremely tough personality who can control the officials of the various houses under his command and make the administration of the officials at least clear.

What Bai Zhifeng said inside and outside the words was to warn Xie Qinghe that Shen Yu has a bad temper.

The official position of state pastor must be conferred by the Qin court. In the territory of the Chen family, the biggest governor of a state is Chang Shi.No one knew beforehand that Chen Qi would hand over Qingzhou to Xie Qinghe, and that Shen Yu came to Qingzhou to be a long-term historian—his violent temper has to be the master of the house.

Xie Qinghe didn't intend to do something drastic in Qingzhou. With a fierce man like Shen Yu in charge, he just had to have fun secretly. Is there any rush to do this job?No matter how well Shen Yu did, would he still be able to squeeze out his status and become Chen Qi's son?

Bai Zhifeng heard Xiao Langjun smile kindly and said: "I also studied riding and archery in Qingzhou, and I just went to the Yamen to show off."

Not long after, the new Qingzhou Mansion arrived.

Chen Qi asked Xie Qinghe to open the mansion, and the so-called "mansion" landed in Qingzhou Mansion, which was supposed to be Xie Qinghe's territory.

Chen Li escorted Xie Qinghe to get off the car, and Bai Zhifeng led him in. In a row room that had just been temporarily repaired, he saw the scribes, headed by Shen Yu, who were taking stock of their records.Others were very polite when they came to see the ceremony, but Shen Yu's expression was not very good when he saw Xie Qinghe and Bai Zhifeng.

Xie Qinghe didn't want to grab credit or work, he greeted politely all the way, and soon expressed his heart: "Cong Nian has little virtue, and he hasn't read a few serious books. , Come here to learn from the seniors and learn about civil affairs, talk less, ask less, make less trouble, see more, think more, make progress, and the affairs of the government have to be too much work for you gentlemen."

Everyone returned the salute one after another, and said a few polite words.

Shen Yu's complexion improved slightly, when he looked at Bai Zhifeng, his nose was not his nose and his eyes were not his eyes.

In the middle, Bai Zhifeng went out to change clothes, and Xie Qinghe saw that Shen Yu followed them out, and the two of them didn't know if it was a "secret meeting" in the toilet. Bai Zhifeng's eyes were gouged out.

Xie Qinghe couldn't help but feel that the life here in Chen Qi is really lively, and the group of counselors and staff is interesting enough.

This is an era of humiliation and suicide at every turn. When the protagonist fails to level the water, bloodshed will occur at any time.If there is too much bloodshed among the staff, it will affect the reputation of the proprietor, so that talented people will no longer come to join him...
