Raised baby is reborn

Although Zhao Mian, who was a censor, was good at words, he also offended some people in the court. After Kangping county magistrate said such a sentence, the courtiers around him looked more or less unkind.

After Zhao Mian heard the words, his face became even more pale and white. He raised his head and found Jiang Zhiyi in the crowd. He paused for a while, and then smiled at the county magistrate of Kangping: "The magistrate is joking. Your Majesty is diligent. I heard that he reads day and night. How can there be any harm?" Time to go to the harem."

"Your Majesty is young and full of vigor, why don't you have time, I will congratulate you first." County Lord Kangping lifted his foot and left with a smile.

Zhao Mian also smiled, and soon, that smile became extremely forced.

The Empress Dowager Sun sent his daughter to the eldest princess's mansion, saying that she was serving His Highness, but she entered the harem within a few days. The meaning of this was not clear to others, but he understood it.

The emperor will not treat the Zhao family kindly, for fear that disaster will be imminent.

After the Lord Kangping left, some courtiers also came to congratulate him, Zhao Mian agreed unsurely, and went out of the palace to Wangjiang Tower.

Jiang Zhiyi waited for a long time.

After seeing her, Zhao Mian panicked, "Master Jiang, this, this emperor knows that Jingchu is yours, what should I do?"

"It's okay, your daughter won't die when she enters the palace, at most she will be imprisoned, but Mr. Zhao, the Zhao family and Qin Huai are involved. The emperor doesn't move you. Do you know why?" Jiang Zhiyi had an extra cup of tea in his hand. , swaying slowly.

Compared with her indifference, Zhao Mian started to panic, "Do you want to put a long line to catch big fish?"

"You're quite smart. I'll give you some advice. If you don't want to be rich or have a daughter, you will go to see your mother who has been dead for many years."

"This..." Zhao Mian fell weakly on the chair, trembling and startled, but he quickly reacted and thanked Jiang Zhiyi: "I understand, Master Jiang, take care."

Jiang Zhiyi pursed her lips and smiled, the wine in her hand was shaken slightly muddy, she looked at it coldly.

You can fish in troubled waters again.

****

After Zhao Jingchu entered the palace, there were no waves. The emperor still rested in the warm pavilion and never set foot in the back garden.

But those who cared gradually discovered that the relationship between the emperor and the eldest princess was no longer so close. In the past, whatever the ministers had to do, the emperor would always say what the eldest princess liked.

Nowadays, the emperor will make his own decisions and will not follow the princess's wishes.

There are rough seas hidden under the calm sea, and some people worry that a storm is coming.

On the day of Qingming, all officials rested, and the emperor came to the mausoleum to worship Qianzong and his ancestors.

The spring is strong, and the strong green grass atmosphere in the mausoleum makes people feel different from the glamorous Chang'an City. The emperor led the people to the mausoleum, and the eldest princess commanded the defense outside, and she saw the general from a distance. Come.

Qin Tangxi paused, causing Wen Xia to step back first, and Jiang Zhiyi approached slowly.

The two touched the front and went to sit under the shade of the tree.

Tables and chairs were set up under the shade of the trees, and the palace people put some sweet spring water into the mouth, not to mention the coolness, but there was still a bit of sweetness in the aftertaste.

Qin Tangxi took a sip, and Jiang Zhiyi also drank it, and said straight to the point: "I heard that His Highness paid homage to Zhao Lan a few days ago?"

The eldest princess set up a tablet of longevity in the temple, and there will be people guarding it every day. Last year's cold food and this year's Qingming, she went to worship in person.

"En." Qin Tangxi nodded moderately.

It's cool under the tree, and there are a few strands of light shining through the gaps between the leaves, making the mausoleum a little brighter and warming the heart.

Jiang Zhiyi looked up at her, and said with concern: "Your Highness, you still don't forget?"

"Unforgettable."

"Your Highness, you should think about it later. After all, people are gone. It's not good to live in the shadow of the past. Just read the scripture I gave you. There are no such ridiculous things in the world. By the way, I never Yulouchun ransomed a girl, and she gave me a booklet as if to take credit."

Jiang Zhiyi smiled lightly, took out a booklet from her arms and handed it to her.

"The girls in Yuluchunli have all been trained. Although I don't know why they will be implicated, but it is very capable. Just read this book, it really opened my eyes."

"You speak so mysteriously that Gudu is a little curious." Qin Tangxi reached out to take it, and turned to the first page, his eyes froze.

Then the second page, the third page...

Jiang Zhiyi said with a smile: "Aren't you shocked? I never thought that they even know your preferences clearly. It seems that someone has long regarded you as a turtle."

"Where did this booklet come from?" Qin Tangxi asked.

The words were a shock of incomprehension and anger.

The past between her and Zhao Lan was clearly written in the brochure, and even some private things were written in detail, and the intentions of the people behind it were very sinister.

She calmed down in anger, and put the booklet aside casually, "It seems that Yulouchun has done these things too much, and it is a good thing to be uprooted."

"Yeah, it's my own fault. I was surprised when I saw it. His Majesty has spies on his side. Think about it, these things seem to be secrets. Why are they written in a book?" Jiang Zhiyi sighed.

A gust of wind came from nowhere, shaking the branches and leaves, and the rustling sound made people's muscles and bones numb.

Qin Tangxi remained silent for a long time, and Jiang Zhiyi didn't urge him, and waited slowly.

After a long time, Qin Tangxi's brows and eyes relaxed, and she looked at Jiang Zhiyi: "Where is that woman?"

"Your Highness wants to meet?" Jiang Zhiyi showed a nervous look, and met her gaze and said tremblingly: "It's okay to meet, you can't want her."

"Don't worry, you don't want to take what others like." Qin Tangxi signaled her not to be nervous.

As soon as the words fell, the servant in front of the emperor came.

Jiang Zhiyi stepped back slowly, Qin Tangxi took advantage of the situation and stuffed the booklet into his sleeve, stood up and looked at the waiter.

The servant saluted the Eldest Princess and said with a smile, "Your Majesty will go back in the afternoon, please arrange the itinerary."

"What is Your Majesty doing?" Qin Tangxi asked.

"Your Majesty is talking to Qin et al. Now that lunch has been delivered, can Your Majesty go?"

What he asked was if he could go, not that His Majesty invited His Highness to have a meal together.

Qin Tangxi knew it well, nodded and said: "No need."

The waiter smiled and left.

Qin Tangxi squeezed the booklet in her cuff tightly, her gaze was dim under the sunlight.

****

After the return journey, the emperor was alone in the carriage, followed by the eldest princess's carriage, and the two had no intention of talking.

After entering the city, the emperor returned to the palace, and the eldest princess returned to the mansion, and the two also separated.

The emperor still went to the Nuan Pavilion to resettle, and it didn't affect his hard work. After the eldest princess returned to the mansion, she read the booklet given by Jiang Zhiyi from the beginning to the end, and some things were inexplicably correct.

She scanned her bedroom for a week, remembering that Mingshu had lived in the guest courtyard for a few days, and spent most of the time with her.

"Come here." Qin Tangxi ordered out.

The maid immediately opened the door and entered, "Your Highness, what are your orders?"

"Is there anyone else living in the guest house that Miss Ming lived in?" Qin Tangxi asked.

The maid shook her head: "Never."

There are very few guests in the princess mansion, and the guest house is almost never used.

Qin Tangxi immediately ordered: "She left a book behind, go look for it in Miss Ming's guest courtyard."

The maidservant backed away.

Qin Tangxi was uncertain, she lowered her eyes and stared at the booklet, feeling uneasy for some reason, if it was true, what should she do?

*****

After Empress Dowager Wu left Beijing, the palace was completely quiet, Concubine An came and walked around from time to time, otherwise it would be extremely deserted.

When the envoys of Uz returned to the country, the warriors recommended by all regions were sent to the capital. The eldest princess placed them in a courtyard and guarded them, and they were not allowed to have any contact with them.

After half a month of training, the emperor arranged a banquet for these warriors to enter the palace.

Warriors are different from literati. The literati are well-read in poetry and books and behave elegantly, while the warriors are just the opposite. There are many other people who roam the streets.

When the Shang Palace Bureau made arrangements, they specially separated the seats, which was an arm's length longer than usual.

The scenery in spring is beautiful, the atmosphere of vegetation is strong, and it is sunny again. It is refreshing to hold a banquet by the lake.

Accompanying them were the Eldest Princess Qin and others, the warriors and the courtiers sat opposite each other, and the emperor sat at the head.

Ming Shufang came out of the Nuan Pavilion feeling a little downcast. After sitting down, she tried her best to pull herself together. Looking around, these people were of different heights, fat and thin.

Among them are many men with clear temperament, and there are also burly middle-aged people who are five big and three thick.

After the emperor sat down, he didn't say a word, and after the banquet, there was singing and dancing.

The palace dancers are trained, and the spring day is warm. They take off their coats and put on light gauze clothes, and their white skin is faintly visible.

A breeze blew, and a scent blew from nowhere. The courtiers sat still like a mountain, and the warriors couldn't hold it anymore, and many people wandered around.

The servant secretly wrote down the names of the people who were watching from left to right.

After the singing and dancing ended, the emperor remained silent, and the palace people filed in and placed all the dishes on the food table.

However, one dish stunned everyone. The fish was raw and not even cut.

The courtiers couldn't ignore it anymore, they gritted their teeth and ate it. Some warriors on the opposite side followed suit, and some refused to use it after looking around.

The servant recorded the situation on the field.

After eating the raw fish and meat, the emperor left without saying a word.

Qin and others couldn't figure out what the emperor meant, so they quietly went to ask the eldest princess.

The eldest princess who had eaten raw fish was rinsing her mouth, although she felt uncomfortable, she persisted, she wiped the corners of her lips with a handkerchief, glanced at the warrior opposite, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty is just testing. "

"Testing?" Qin Xiang didn't understand, and the others were even more helpless.

The eldest princess put the wet handkerchief aside, and said calmly: "At the beginning of the founding of the country, Gaozu once held a dinner party, and it was like this during the period, have you all forgotten?"

"Gaozu..."

The courtiers were puzzled, and Prime Minister Qin was taken aback. The emperor actually knew what happened during Gaozu's reign?

He once read a history book that after the founding of the country, the great ancestor rewarded meritorious ministers, and held a banquet in the palace before the reward.

There are many brave and strategic generals who fight in the country, but most of these people are from reckless backgrounds. It is possible to fight wars, but it is useless to govern the country.

After seeing the beautiful and seductive dancers at the banquet, most of them moved their minds, and some even started begging for them based on their military merits, and Emperor Gaozu agreed one by one.

Those courtiers were sent to remote places the next day and were no longer reused.

Why not use it anymore?

Gaozu once said that it is easy to conquer the country, but difficult to defend the country. They couldn't refuse even the simplest temptation, which shows that their hearts are not strong.

At the banquet just now, he could see clearly that many of those warriors showed greedy expressions, which showed that their minds were not right.

With a long sigh, he said to the others: "Your Majesty has deep thoughts, so I don't want to participate."

Those recommended by the counties and counties, it is hard to keep some sinister and greedy people, and those who can't control it at this time will be kicked out.

As for that dish, he didn't understand what the emperor meant.

He opened his mouth to ask, but the eldest princess led them away, obviously saying that he missed the most suitable opportunity.

****

When Qin Tangxi returned to the Tai Chi Hall, Ming Shu read through the brochure and ticked off some people from the original list.

Seeing her coming, Mingshu didn't hide, and generously handed over the list and brochure, "What does the eldest princess think?"

The eldest princess's sentence was inexplicably harsh, Qin Tangxi did not answer it, and looked up at her: "Although your Majesty's move is good, it is difficult to ensure that those who are secretly arranged by the family will be eliminated."

Beauty is currently a temptation, but if you have prepared earlier, you will still be wary.

Ming Shu sat on the dragon chair, holding the vermilion pen with the power of life and death with her white fingers, and her starry eyes were deep. Similarly, she was observing the other party, and said unhurriedly: "It's just the first level, that fish is not good. eat it, but someone swallowed it anyway."

"Your Majesty is worried about the fact that you will not accept military orders abroad?" Qin Tangxi asked tentatively.

"Well, if they listen to me, it's just a small test today, and there will be more later." Ming Shu was confident.

The girl sitting on the solemn and extravagant dragon chair has changed her mind long ago, just like Qin Tangxi once, from an ignorant child to today's calm and wise eldest princess.

Maybe a little surprised, but Qin Tangxi felt very relieved.Ming Shu is different from Ming Emperor, she has really stayed in the attic for more than a year, and she will repeatedly deliberate on what she doesn't understand until she understands it.

"Since your majesty has an idea, make arrangements. Today's situation is very good, you have grown up." Qin Tangxi slowly put the brochure on the dragon case.

Before today, she spent a lot of effort to check the background of these people, some of them were like falling out of a rock, and they didn't know the details at all.

She remembered those people, and she also focused on observing them today, most of them have not passed this first level.

It was not easy for Mingshu to think of using Gaozu's method.

But Mingshu said: "Just follow the pattern, there is no surprise. If it were you, how would you arrange it?"

"Me?" Qin Tangxi pondered. After meeting Mingshu's deep eyes, he felt more complicated emotions in his heart. Is Mingshu learning from her or being wary?

She was suddenly confused.

Demons are at work.

After facing the little girl's questioning, she chose to be honest and said: "If it were me, I would check the person carefully before entering Beijing. I will check the details of the person, what kind of family background, and check everything."

"The eldest princess is so powerful, and you have contacts everywhere, so it's not difficult to check. It's just that I'm different, I don't have so many people to check."

Qin Tangxi was taken aback, and couldn't hide her disappointment, "Your Majesty's meaning is too straightforward."

"I'm telling the truth." Mingshu rubbed her sore eyebrows, thinking about such a simple thing, she didn't know when she would be as calm as a princess, and she had a countermeasure in a moment.

It's a pity that she is more than a little bit stupid.

"Your Majesty is humbled." Qin Tangxi looked slightly lonely.

These days, Mingshu has been quite estranged to her, and she doesn't even go to read in the warm pavilion with her, as if the relationship between the two of them is really as simple as the emperor and the eldest princess.

The two had different thoughts, and they couldn't talk much, and they separated after a few words in a hurry.

Mingshu also left after the eldest princess left, and went to the mansion of the county lord of Kangping.

She wanted to know the specific circumstances of King Chuxiang's rebellion, but the historical records were unknown, and it was like a thorn in her heart.

When she believed in the case of the Duke of the State, she found that her father seemed to have something to do with Qin Huai's rebellious party, so she didn't dare to continue the investigation.

Sometimes the truth is scary too.

At this time, the two cases were vaguely related, so she took advantage of the situation to investigate together.

Father and King Qin Xiang are as close as brothers, perhaps, there is still some inside story.

Before and after the gate of the mansion, Shixing took the order to knock on the door, and the doorman quickly opened the door.

Ming Shu wore an apricot-colored dress today, with a little flower between her eyebrows, her hair tied in a simple bun, and a jade hairpin slanted into her temples. Her whole body was simple and elegant.

The Kangping county master was not at the mansion, and the maid led a group of people to meet the Lin'an county master.

When King Chuxiang conspired against him back then, Princess Lin'an had experienced everything. The history books may not record it clearly, but she definitely knew more details than the history books.

Princess Lin'an lives in the Buddhist hall. The courtyard is a bit simple, and even ordinary flowers and plants can't be seen. At first glance, the high walls and deep tiles make it inexplicably deserted.

The maid opened the door, Mingshu ordered Shixing to stay and went in by herself.

The doors and windows in the house were closed, and when you entered, you could see flickering candles. This Buddhist hall was darker than Concubine An's Buddhist hall, especially the sandalwood in the closed space, which always made people feel uncomfortable.

After entering, the Princess of Lin'an in front of the Buddha stood up and saluted her slowly: "Your Majesty is here in person, and the plants are full of glory."

Mingshu didn't listen to these words, the Lin'an Princess opposite had gray temples, deep-set eye sockets, and many wrinkles at the end of the eyes, perhaps because she has not seen the light all year round, there is a little abnormality in that white face.

"The princess is very polite, I have come to ask you something."

Princess Lin'an clasped his hands together, said a few Buddhist words, and replied: "If my wife knows, she must know everything without saying it."

"While King Chu Xiang is plotting rebellion, can the princess be in Luoyang City?" Ming Shu cut to the chase. She is not the submissive woman in a flower house in the past, but she is very confident now.

Princess Lin'an lowered her eyes, "In Luoyang City, Emperor Gaozong was critically ill, King Xiang of Chu came out of Luoyang City and besieged it with soldiers."

"Why did he turn back?" Mingshu asked, the princess of Lin'an County in front of her had a gloomy look on her, like a ghost, which was hard to see through.

She has met many people, but the Princess Lin'an in front of her is too scary.

"Gao Zong is critically ill, which happens to be the best opportunity."

Ming Shu didn't believe in such a simple truth, "But some people said that Emperor Gaozong wanted to withdraw his military power."

"I don't know the minister's wife. I only know that when the rebels rebelled out of Luoyang, Gaozong was so angry that he vomited blood. His Majesty Qianzong personally led people to chase him, but he still didn't persuade them to come back. When the soldiers surrounded Luoyang City, the rebels They wantonly slaughtered the common people, and sacrificed the flag with the blood of the royal family. I don’t know what your Majesty wants to ask when you come here today?”

Princess Lin'an's voice was slow, unhurried, Mingshu frowned, "The princess didn't say anything, or did she deliberately conceal the truth?"

"Your Majesty is serious. Why did my wife hide the truth. What happened 30 years ago is not a secret, and it is also recorded in history books."

Mingshu thought to herself, and expressed her doubts: "If I rebelled, why didn't I wait for His Majesty Gaozong to die, and besides, he and His Majesty Gaozong have the same love as father and son, why should I rebel while he is alive. Lord, you said you didn’t know, but someone obviously said that you were there. When Emperor Gaozong gave the order, you were clearly there.”

The last sentence raised his voice sharply, with deterrence in his heart, Lian, the princess of Lin'an, suddenly said, "Your Majesty wants the minister's wife to lie?"

"I'm just thinking about some doubts. After besieging Luoyang for seven days, why didn't you just kill them in? You said that you massacred the people. After killing the people, why didn't you attack the city? Is the first step still short of the last step? There are no records of it On the side, I'm just curious. On that day, the princess can continue to say nothing, and I have the patience to wait." Ming Shu is not impatient, facing this difficult bone, she needs to figure it out slowly.

The owner of Lin'an County still remained silent and insisted on the original statement.

"The princess can just say what she wants. I have people waiting in the mansion. After all, the county master is still there. Maybe the county master also knows."

Ming Shu didn't insist, with a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, glanced inside the Buddhist hall, stepped out calmly, and ordered after stepping out of the door: "Leave a few people to serve Lin'an Princess."

The people in the room trembled.

****

On this day of rest, the eldest princess went to the temple.

The last time I came here was with Mingshu. After the abbot explained the confusion, the two left together, but today she came here alone.

After arriving, the abbot greeted him personally, "After solving the confusion, will it be beneficial for Your Highness?"

"Benefits?" Qin Tangxi was puzzled, "Is what you said about Yin Qi true or false?"

"If you believe it, it's true, if you don't believe it, it's false."

Green smoke curled up in the meditation room, and the aroma from the cauldron spread to the roof in an instant, adding a bit of mist to the dark room.

After the abbot said a word, he became more and more inscrutable, unable to figure out the mystery for a while, Qin Tangxi was silent for a long time, and suddenly he didn't know where he was confused.

This is a ridiculous thing, believe it or not, it's just a matter of thought, what is she asking for?

The water on the stove in front of the abbot has already boiled, gurgling and bubbling, and the water vapor is boiling, the abbot sprinkled some coarse tea in it, and said slowly: "What's so difficult, Your Highness?"

"What's so difficult?" Qin Tangxi asked herself, she didn't know what was so difficult, between absurdity and emotion, she chose the latter.

But now she was confused and had doubts about her feelings.

There was a thread between Mingshu and Zhao Lan, and now that thread was cut off by that booklet.

So now, should she continue this thread?

"Your Highness doesn't even know where his own difficulties are, so why is it so difficult? Everyone in the world likes to find their own troubles, and Your Highness is indifferent to everyone." The abbot said slowly, and the tea was boiling at this time, and he personally gave the people in front of him Poured a bowl of clear tea, "His Royal Highness, try the tea from this spring, it's rough tea, what do you think of the taste?"

The tea water is too turbid, and even some tea leaves are floating on the bottom of the bowl, which makes people have no intention of drinking it at a glance.

Without hesitation, Qin Tangxi gently blew the tea to cool down, and took a sip. The tea was bitter and too rough, not as refined as the one in the palace.

But she didn't say no, she just said: "Everyone has his own love, but the abbot loves, and talking too much will only make you unhappy."

"His Royal Highness's difficulty can be solved?" the abbot asked along the way.

"Fixed?" Qin Tangxi didn't understand, "I don't even know what my own difficulties are, so how can I solve them?"

"If you think it is difficult, then it is difficult. If it is not difficult, it is not difficult. If I talk too much, I will make you unhappy."

"I understand what you mean." Qin Tangxi got up in a daze, and he could only explain his own thoughts, and it was useless to ask others.

The author has something to say: Do you remember that pamphlet? ?

My bunny died and I only had it for a week, it's so sad.
