I am a ruler in troubled times

After the spring plowing, there was news about the Yunshi Iron Mine in Nanlin County.

A total of 26 people died violently in the two Yun's iron mines, including fifteen private slaves of the Yun's family and eleven civilians in the surrounding area.

The former magistrate of Nanlin County concluded that the Yun’s Mine treated the Umian slaves harshly, lynched them repeatedly, deprived the Umian slaves of food and forced them to work day and night.

After Mu Qing took office quickly, the first thing he did was to re-investigate the matter.Wanting to find the place where the Wumian slaves were buried, he asked Wuzuo to re-examine the autopsy, but found that the former magistrate of Nanlin County had ordered people to throw all the Umian slaves who had died suddenly into mass graves.

Fortunately, the time interval was not too long, and Mu Qing could still find the half-decomposed corpses of those black-faced slaves.

Since the corpses were half-decomposed, it is impossible to know whether these Umian slaves had been whipped and abused, but Wu Zuo found a highly poisonous substance on the Umian slave's bones.Combining the confession of Wumian Nu's family and other evidence, Mu Qing overturned the closing of the case by the former Nanlin county magistrate, wrote a new copy, and sent it to Xianyang eight hundred miles away.

Song Peiyu also kept an eye on this case, and just after receiving the news that the former Nanlin county magistrate's closing papers had been sent to the Ministry of Criminal Justice, she asked the Ministry of Criminal Justice to send the records of this case to East Palace.

Song Peiyu easily found a bunch of ambiguous and loopholes in the documents and circled them, and asked the Ministry of Punishment to reorganize the records and send them to the East Palace, and then find the loopholes to delay time again and again.

Every time Song Peiyu finds loopholes, he can stand up.

The Ministry of Punishment had no choice but to re-record it repeatedly.Before he had time to finalize the closing papers sent by the former Nanlin County magistrate, Mu Qing's second papers arrived.

The court argued over this matter for several days, but finally closed the case with Mu Qing's notes.

The poor former magistrate of Nanlin County was relegated to the Ministry of Punishment to be the head of the Ministry of Punishment within a few days of his promotion.Although he was still at the sixth rank, his rank was the same as when he was the county magistrate, but the real power in his hands had plummeted.

The Yun family was reprimanded by Emperor Yonghe and fined 2 taels of silver, but the two iron mines in their hands were kept as they wished.

Yun Chen immediately brought the detailed atlases of the two mines to the East Palace to ask for an interview, and he wanted to send one of the mines to Chongyi as promised.

At the cost of a new story, Song Peiyu made Chong Yi reluctantly meet Yun Chen in person, during which time he didn't say a third word except for 'get up' and 'um'.

Song Peiyu has long been used to Chongyi's misbehavior. According to the idea he had conceived long ago, he did not want Yun's iron mines, but asked Yun to give [-]% of the ore mined from the two iron mines to Donggong every year. .

Yun Chen showed hesitation when he heard the words, and looked over Song Peiyu to Chong Yi.

The loss of one iron mine forever, and the loss of four ores from two iron mines, are not much different to Yun in terms of the impact on annual income, but the meaning is quite different. Of course, he prefers to combine the two iron mines Iron ore is in hand.

However, Song Peiyu's proposal to send people from the East Palace to Yun's two iron mines to prevent Yun from falsely reporting the output was stepping on Yun Chen's bottom line.

In this way, Yun's Iron Mine is as transparent in front of Donggong, and the bond with Mu's is deeper than before.

There are so many young and beautiful concubines in the palace, if another little prince is born in the future...

After feeling Yun Chen's gaze, Chong Yi turned his head and looked at Yun Chen quietly, but he didn't have the slightest intention to speak.

After a while, Yun Chen lowered his head, "Nanlin Yun will definitely take care of the two iron mines for His Highness, and will never let any accident happen to the iron mines again."

Song Peiyu, who wanted to persuade her again, silently shut her mouth, and turned her head to look at Chongyi's expressionless face.

Chong Yi changed his posture, put his hand on his cheek, and said lazily, "Appreciate"

Yun Chen was overjoyed, "Thank you, Your Highness!"

Before leaving the palace that day, Song Peiyu heard that Mu Shizhong had accidentally broken a tea cup bestowed by Emperor Yonghe when he was working in the Palace of Qinzheng.

Song Peiyu asked people to find a lot of history books, not only to study them by himself, but also to get them from the East Palace and Chongyi to share.

It doesn't matter if Chong Yi doesn't read it, Song Peiyu will go to Chong Yi every day when he is reading, and he happens to read to Chong Yi while reading it himself.

Perhaps Song Peiyu really has a way of telling stories, or the voice really grows in Chongyi's aesthetic point.Chong Yi didn't let anyone throw Song Peiyu out, and acquiesced that Song Peiyu would bother him regularly.

When Song Peiyu finished studying the two big boxes of books about the Zhan Shifu of the past dynasties, it will soon enter May.There is only the last month left before the three-month period set by the imperial decree of the Yonghe Emperor.

According to Song Peiyu's research, Zhan Shifu is mainly composed of Zhan Shi of the third grade, supplemented by Zhan Shi of the fourth grade, and mainly composed of Zuochunfang and Youchunfang.

The Zhan Shifu with real power can be compared to a small court.

Zuo Chunfang is like a province under the door, in charge of ordering and etiquette.Under it, there are six bureaus: Sijing, Dianshan, Yaozang, Neizhi, Dianshe and Gongmen, which are responsible for things in the palace, including meals, medicine, clothes, jade seals and the gates of the East Palace.

Youchunfang is comparable to Zhongshu Province, who is in charge of summoning courtiers and sorting out documents.There are three temples under it, Jialing Temple, Sugeneng Temple and Pusi Temple, which are respectively responsible for food storage, clan rituals, music and punishment, and horses and guards of honor.

This is the style that ordinary princes and even princes with titles will never get.

It took two months to look up the information, but it only took Song Peiyu half an hour to list the official positions of Zhan Shifu.

He handed the proposed official position to Chong Yi beside him, "What do you think, Your Highness?"

Chong Yi casually glanced, "Yeah."

Song Peiyu didn't care about Chong Yi's perfunctory, and continued to ask, "Has your Majesty ever revealed to His Highness that after the pass, where will the officials of Zhan Shifu be assigned?"

Chong Yi was concentrating on fighting the little cherry in the white porcelain bowl, but he could only tell the difference and shook his head when he heard this.

Song Peiyu saw that Chongyi's food was delicious, so he pressed the rice paper with handwriting on it under the tiger ornament on the table, went to get another bowl of untouched cherries, said while eating, "Why don't I just list the recommended candidates on it ?”

As soon as the words fell, Song Peiyu vetoed the proposal by herself, "It still doesn't work. I think His Majesty already has a general candidate in mind, and the book has to go through three provinces. I don't know how many people have read it. In case there is a misunderstanding about the East Palace, don't worry about it." alright."

"I don't know if the passbook can be passed smoothly. I heard that Sheng Guifei intends to ask His Majesty to let Sheng Tairan enter the court. According to the old rules of Brother Mu and Jingming, if His Majesty agrees, Sheng Tairan may also be from the fifth rank. The official starts." Song Peiyu stopped here, spit the cherry pit in his mouth into a small bowl, turned his head to look at the rice paper under the tiger, and his eyes quickly caught the corresponding official position, "Maybe it will be directly arranged in Zhan Shifu may be the left concubine or the right concubine of the fifth rank."

"What do you think, Your Highness?" Song Peiyu looked sideways at Chong Yi.

Chong Yi had already turned a bowl full of small cherries into cherry pits, and when he heard Song Peiyu's question, he turned his head and raised half of his eyebrows, "Which one is Sheng Tairan?"

The porcelain spoon in Song Peiyu's hand hit the bowl, making a crisp sound.His tone was drawn out, but his face was very serious, "Your Highness, this joke is not funny at all."

Chong Yi still had a blank face, and his tone was filled with dissatisfaction, "I never joke."

It was only then that Song Peiyu knew that Chong Yi had never been able to tell who was Bo Yang and Sheng Tairan, or he didn't care at all.

If Song Peiyu hadn't mentioned Sheng Tairan to Chong Yi on purpose, and had been talking about it for so long, Chong Yi still wouldn't be curious about the names of the students in the school whose names he didn't remember.

Fortunately, Chong Yi has an excellent memory and is not face-blind. As long as Song Peiyu briefly describes them, Chong Yi can match their names with their corresponding appearances.

Song Peiyu inevitably became curious because of this, "Does Your Highness remember who Wei Zhiyuan is?"

"Remember" the corner of Chong Yi's mouth raised a trace of sarcasm, "every time Qing Luan was around, he was very noisy."

Song Peiyu didn't expect that Chong Yi would have such a 'deep' impression on Wei Zhiyuan, and the alarm sounded in his heart, and he tentatively said, "Maybe Wei Zhiyuan wanted to attract the attention of Huiyang County Lord, not the Eldest Princess."

Chong Yi's indifferent eyebrows and eyes eased a little, and he looked at Song Peiyu with a vague appreciation, "That's the best."

Song Peiyu's heart that was hanging in the air eased a little, and he joked with Chong Yi, "If the eldest princess knows that His Highness cares about her so much, I don't know how happy she will be."

King Su does not only have the daughter of the eldest princess, there are several concubines in the palace, but they can only be called a girl vaguely in the palace. Maybe when they get married, they will have the title of county lord or princess, just like the eldest princess. Honor cannot be expected.

However, Song Peiyu heard that the Eldest Princess was kind to several sisters of different mothers. A concubine sister who had a noble daughter openly humiliated the Eldest Princess was caught by the Eldest Princess and punished to stand under the scorching sun for half an hour.

This kind of punishment is not a big deal, the main thing is that it made the lady lose face, and she didn't have the nerve to walk around outside for a long time.

However, Song Peiyu can be sure that the eldest princess's love for her sister-in-law is definitely not one ten thousandth of that for her next-door cousin, Chong Yi.

In other people's houses, the older brother let the younger sister see something new and interesting, and wanted to send it to the younger sister to see something new.

The Eldest Princess is different, Su Wang's Mansion sees Tian'er sending things to the East Palace, Su Wang and the Eldest Princess father and daughter seem to want to move the warehouse of the Wang Mansion to the East Palace.

Piansheng Chongyi is a dog tempered person, and he never takes the initiative to respond to the eldest princess.Occasionally, Song Peiyu couldn't stand it, and gave the eldest princess some strange gadgets in the name of the East Palace, and Chong Yi also had a dispensable attitude.Soong Peiyu always felt that the eldest princess's enthusiasm for her brother was wrong, but she didn't expect Chong Yi to silently notice that Wei Zhiyuan behaved differently when the eldest princess was around, such a small detail.

Chong Yi was not moved by Song Peiyu's words, and reluctantly said 'hmm'.

Song Peiyu shrugged her shoulders helplessly, and continued to struggle with the remaining half bowl of little cherries, and the topic on her lips was brought back to Zhan Shifu.

The two were gossiping, or one person said it unilaterally, and the other person didn't know whether he was listening or not. The whole process of "um" and "ah" responded without emotion, but the scene was very harmonious.

At least Eunuch An felt better when he saw them from afar.The originally tense face gradually eased, and when he walked to Song Peiyu and Chong Yi, he had returned to his usual kindness.

Eunuch An spoke to the two outside the gazebo, "Your Highness, Lord Song."

Both of them turned their heads to look at Eunuch An, and Chong Yi pointed to the bowl containing the cherry pits, with two large characters of 'more' written in his black and white eyes.Song Peiyu waved to Eunuch An, "Eunuch, come in, it's too hot outside."

Eunuch An shook his head, with a look of embarrassment on his face, and said softly, "This old slave has a few words with you, and I'm going to pack your Highness's luggage."

Song Peiyu raised her eyebrows in surprise, "What are you doing packing your luggage?"

This season can neither go hunting, nor is it time to escape the summer heat.

Eunuch An looked at Chong Yi with a smile, "His Royal Highness is on the sixth day of the fifth lunar month. Now His Highness has not been crowned yet. Even if he stays in the palace for his birthday, it is not advisable to make a big deal. His Majesty is kind enough to let His Highness go to Zhuangzi to celebrate his birthday. The students in the school went with His Highness."

"Are you also born on the sixth day of May?" Song Peiyu turned to look at Chong Yi.

Eunuch An's face froze when he heard the words, and he was about to speak, but his reaction was not as quick as Chong Yi.

Chong Yi's voice had already sounded, "No, it's the fifth day of May."

"Your Highness, your memory is wrong, you are born on the sixth day of May!" Eunuch An was so angry that he covered his head, and looked at Chong Yi with helplessness.

Song Peiyu hurriedly appeased Eunuch An, "The sixth day of May is a good day. It just so happens that my birthday is also on the sixth day of May, but it's not the same year as Your Highness."

He is one year younger than Chong Yi.

Chong Yi no longer cared about his birthday with these two people, and suddenly looked at Eunuch An with lightning-like eyes, "What's wrong with Qinzheng Hall?"

"No..." Eunuch An smiled helplessly, knowing that sooner or later Chong Yi would not be able to hide it, and was afraid that Chong Yi would think too much, so he said lightly, "The Palace of Qinzheng is no different from usual, Concubine Lin De of the harem is happy."

Song Peiyu subconsciously looked at Chong Yi's face, and found that Chong Yi's face was really different from usual. She wanted to comfort her, but she rarely didn't know what to say.

"Hmm..." Chong Yi nodded, and said to Mr. An, "Go and pack your luggage, and leave the palace after packing."

Hearing this, Eunuch An became even more worried, and gave Song Peiyu several winks before turning his head and leaving.

Song Peiyu thought for a while, moved closer to Chong Yi, and said in a low voice, "I am also born on the fifth day of May."

"My aunt is weak and difficult to give birth. It happened that my family's situation was not good at that time. I was born on such an unlucky day. The midwife and the doctor thought that my aunt and I would not survive." Song Peiyu couldn't help but smile wryly when he came to this world in a state of embarrassment, "It just so happened that my elder brother's youngest son died, and my sister-in-law suffered from the shock and developed a slight hypocrisy. She insisted that I was her youngest son and took me to the eldest room. Eldest brother felt that in early May The fifth day is unlucky, so tell the outside world that I am born on the sixth day of May."

Chong Yi seemed a little absent-minded, and said casually, "You remember clearly."

"How is it possible?" Song Peiyu laughed, "Whoever is born can remember things, this is when I grew up, my mother and aunt told me as a story, and I realized that I had such hardships when I was young."

After Song Peiyu said this, she found that Chong Yi looked at him more and more strangely.

The sunlight was so abundant that it turned Chongyi's dark eyes into a light color, and now these eyes are looking at him without blinking.

Song Peiyu suddenly felt embarrassed and didn't know where to look, she subconsciously avoided Chong Yi's gaze, and focused her gaze on the tear mole in the corner of Chong Yi's eye.

Chong Yi turned his head and stared into Song Peiyu's eyes again, "You said you don't remember what happened when you were just born?"

Song Peiyu opened her mouth to answer, but somehow felt unable to open her mouth. In the end, she could only nod her head, got up and was about to leave, and hurriedly found an excuse, "I also want to go back to the house to pack my luggage."

But was grabbed by the wrist.

Song Peiyu turned her head and looked down at Chong Yi.

Chong Yi raised his other hand and hooked his finger at Song Peiyu, "I'll tell you a secret too."

Song Peiyu opened his round eyes vigilantly. Although he couldn't see Chong Yi's expression clearly from this angle, his instinct made him feel that such a Chong Yi was very strange and dangerous.

He tentatively pulled his wrist, and easily pulled his hand out.

Song Peiyu froze for a moment, and stood there for a long time, but finally couldn't resist curiosity, and bent down to put her ear to Chongyi.

Chong Yi looked at Song Peiyu's eyelashes fluttering up and down, and said with a strange smile in his tone, "Father will never have any children other than me, he knows it himself."

Song Peiyu was dumbfounded, and turned her head to look at Chong Yi's expression in a daze.

Why can he understand every word Chong Yi said, but it is so difficult to understand when they are put together?

Therefore, Emperor Yonghe sent Chong Yi out of the palace in a hurry, not because he would not care about Chong Yi after having a young son, or because he was afraid that Chong Yi would start a move against an unborn child because of jealousy, but because he felt ashamed?

Song Peiyu felt that he was like a cat who clearly knew that he shouldn't play with balls of wool but couldn't control his paws. When he found danger, he was completely surrounded by messy wool, and there was no room for retreat.

He didn't want to know the secret at all!

I hope Concubine Lin De is just a fake pregnancy to fight for favor, otherwise the emperor will be furious...

Oh, good luck to her.

By the time Song Peiyu came back to his senses, Chong Yi had resumed his usual laziness, half-lying on the rocking chair to bask in the sun while eating fruit.

Song Peiyu sat down again. Anyway, secrets can only be known and not known, and there is no such thing as knowing much.He tilted towards Chong Yi, and moved his lower lip almost invisibly, "When did Your Majesty know about... that matter?"

Chong Yi took a bite of the fruit, "Forgot"

"Then why is Your Majesty?" Song Peiyu coughed lightly, but she didn't have the courage to finish this sentence.

This time Chong Yi answered very happily, "Injured on the battlefield, life hanging by a thread, medicine for tigers and wolves."

Song Peiyu thought about this sentence over and over again, and said in surprise, "Then there are not many people who know about this?"

"Hmm..." Chong Yi didn't mention at all what anyone knew about this matter.

Song Peiyu couldn't help touching her neck, feeling that it suddenly became a little firmer.

Chong Yi took a full view of Song Peiyu's rare stupid appearance, and said with a sneer, "Aren't you going back home to pack your luggage?"

Song Peiyu waved his hand, and nestled exhausted on the other soft bed, "I will go directly to Zhuangzi with your Highness, and let Jinbao go home to pack his luggage and send him to Zhuangzi."

Eunuch An's work efficiency was very fast. Within an hour, there was a row of carriages parked outside the East Palace, waiting for Chong Yi and Song Peiyu to get on the carriage, and they could go straight to Zhuangzi.

After leaving the gate of the East Palace, Eunuch An couldn't help reminding Chong Yi, "Aren't you going to greet Your Majesty before you leave?"

Chong Yi glanced at the Palace of Qinzheng across the wall, "No need."

Eunuch An wanted to persuade him again, but Song Peiyu just changed the subject. When Eunuch An came back to his senses, they had already left Xianyang in a carriage.

The Zhuangzi arranged by Emperor Yonghe for Chongyi was five hundred miles away from Xianyang. They set off from the East Palace at noon and did not arrive at Zhuangzi until sunset.

It is said to be Zhuangzi, but it is actually the old palace, but it has been dilapidated and out of shape, and it is too far-fetched to call it a palace, so it is called Zhuangzi, but it is much more spacious and refined than ordinary Zhuangzi.

Later, Luo Yong, Ping Zhang, Sheng Tairan, and Wei Zhiyuan appeared outside the Zhuangzi in a hurry. They all rushed over after receiving the news, and their luggage was left behind.

These few people already knew about Concubine Lin De's pregnancy, even Luo Yong and He Zhang, who were usually the most eccentric, quieted down, for fear of making Chong Yi look like a bad boy.

Especially for Sheng Tairan, the new concubine who entered the palace was his sister who had a high status and brought the most honor and favor to the family, but it was not his sister who was happy first.Just because of this matter, the family was worried whether his sister's life in the palace would become sad, so he received a message from the palace to rush to celebrate Chong Yi's birthday with him.

He is a clumsy person, and he preconceived that Chong Yi would definitely dislike his sister, and then he disliked him, made a mistake in his busy schedule, and even broke a teacup.

Song Peiyu, who happened to be passing by, pressed Sheng Tairan's shoulders, did not let him get up, and said with a smile, "I didn't expect Brother Sheng to ask for auspiciousness first, and you will be safe every year."

Sheng Tairan opened his mouth, seeing that Chong Yi didn't intend to get angry, so he repeated 'Success is safe'.

Fortunately, Eunuch An came in time and instructed the boys to move a mahjong table in, which eased the increasingly stagnant atmosphere.

Not only did Chong Yi not play in person, he also forbade Song Peiyu to play.

In the end, Ping Zhang, Luo Yong, Sheng Tairan and Wei Zhiyuan happened to join the mahjong table, and Chong Yi sat on the sidelines to watch.

The four people who just started playing mahjong are still reserved, but Chong Yi never speaks out to point out the country or express opinions when watching the excitement, and his sense of presence will only become less and less.Over time, the four of them became more at ease, and complained to each other about who played bad cards.

Whenever this time, Song Peiyu could feel Chongyi's eyes on the person who complained, probably because he was laughing at Rencai without knowing it.

On the second day, not only did Lu Jihe and Bai Yang arrive late, but the eldest princess and the head of Huiyang county also came.

The arrival of the two girls made people who didn't know the truth breathe a sigh of relief.

It seems that His Majesty really wanted the Third Prince to have a comfortable birthday, so he was allowed to come to Zhuangzi.

Although there is a difference between men and women, we meet each other in the school all day long, so we can be regarded as acquaintances.

Moreover, since the fall of the former dynasty, the atmosphere has gradually become more open, unmarried men and women in public, as long as there is no physical contact for no reason, it is not considered offensive.

Therefore, the eldest princess and the head of Huiyang County are not uncomfortable.

However, Song Peiyu was more careful, and found that when the eldest princess was chasing after Chong Yi, the princess of Huiyang County was always on the side, so she took the initiative to find some fun for the girls.

He can't make things that are too complicated, but the simple shuttlecock, rubber band and badminton are all within his grasp.

It's just that Song Peiyu didn't expect that these things were not only liked by girls, but also received unanimous praise from boys.

So Chong Yi has a new joy.

Others were having fun down there, while he was on the roof, in the gazebo, on the tree... watching the excitement.

Song Peiyu stepped on the wooden ladder and appeared next to Chong Yi. Following Chong Yi's gaze, he looked at the five people who were kicking shuttlecocks in a circle, "Your Highness thinks it's interesting, why don't you go down and play together?"

Chong Yi glanced at the wooden ladder under Song Peiyu's feet, and said without thinking, "No fun, no fun."

"Then you can still see the present from the morning." Song Peiyu pushed aside the branches that blocked his view, unable to hold back the desire to complain.

Before Chong Yi could speak, Song Peiyu had learned to answer quickly, "It's too easy to play by yourself, so it's not fun, it's interesting to see them being stupid, isn't it?"

Chong Yi leaned against the tree trunk and nodded, admitting without guilt, "Yeah"

After being silent for a while, Song Peiyu suddenly asked, "When will Your Highness return to Xianyang?"

"Anytime" Chong Yi gave the answer.

Emperor Yonghe only said to let Chongyi come to Zhuangzi to celebrate his birthday, but he didn't say that Chongyi could not return to Xianyang before his birthday.

Even if Emperor Yonghe restricts Chong Yi's words, whether he listens or not will depend on Yi's mood.

Didn't hear Song Peiyu speak again, Chong Yi changed his posture and could see Song Peiyu's face in his eyes, "What's the matter?"

Song Peiyu twitched the corner of her mouth, and turned to talk about other things, "I just received an interesting story about what happened in Xianyang after we left Xianyang. I just saw that His Highness was idle, so I came up to talk to His Highness."

Chong Yi heard the words and moved to the side to make room for Song Peiyu.

He was used to Song Peiyu always telling him "Xianyang interesting stories" regardless of whether he listened or not. Anyway, it was like listening to a story, and it was not difficult.

Song Peiyu looked down at the distance from the canopy to the ground, and grasped the branches with more force, and rejected Chong Yi without hesitation, "I can just stand, standing is more stable."

He doesn't have the ability to land on both feet even if he falls from the canopy.

Chong Yi sneered, but he didn't force Song Peiyu.

Song Peiyu's "Xianyang Interesting Stories" did not disappoint Chong Yi, it is rare that they are all people he can remember.

Mu Shizhong didn't know which muscle was wrong, and suddenly forced Murong Jing to adopt a child named Mu.

We all know that Murong Jing has two reverse scales, whoever touches them will suffer.

One is his precious only daughter, and the other is his childhood experience.

It was a coincidence that Mu Shizhong stepped on both of them.

Adopting a child surnamed Mu is to force Murong Jing to admit that he is the illegitimate son of the Mu family, and Murong Jing has to recall the powerlessness and humiliation of the past.

Moreover, the Mu family forced him to adopt a child surnamed Mu, certainly not because of the good intentions of finding someone to take care of him for the elderly, but because he was planning to leave all the money to his only daughter's family.

At the beginning, Murong Jing could still maintain his rationality.

He always understood that he was able to stand out as General Murong, of course it was because of his relentless fighting on the battlefield, and it was also due to Mu's contribution.

If it wasn't for the lack of generals in the Mu family, he also has the blood of the Mu family.Even if he made great achievements repeatedly, he may not be able to keep his credit in the end.

Therefore, although Murong Jing had a lot of filth with the Mu family, he never thought of breaking up with the Mu family.

A military general like Murong Jing always has some unknown 'loyalty' in his bones.

It's a pity that the Mu family is not Murong Jing's brother who can trust his back to the opponent on the battlefield.

Murong Jing was able to accept that he promoted Mu's children while he was still alive, and returned the old friendship of Mu's keeping his achievements in the battlefield.But he couldn't accept that Mrs. Mu cared about his daughter, especially since he already had Song Jingjue, a talented son-in-law who could inherit his mantle.

So after repeatedly rejecting Mu's adoption proposal, but Mu still pressed on every step of the way, and even began to spread the past in Xianyang to force him to submit, Murong Jing completely gave up on Mu.

Murong Jing's way of counterattack is to ask his old mother who has been buried for an unknown number of years to grant a royal order.

When these people humiliated him back then, they always said that his mother was the lowest foreign prostitute, and that he was the son of a slut.

If he dared to recognize such a mother, would Mrs. Mu dare to recognize him?

The Mu family gave Murong Jing the answer, but they didn't dare.

Emperor Yonghe passed Murong Jing's note in the court hall, and personally told the Ministry of Rites to issue an imperial order to Murong Jing's mother as soon as possible and re-bury her.

In less than a day, the rumors about Murong Jing's father's family disappeared completely.

At this point, Murong Jing is Murong Jing, and there will be no winking people saying that his surname should be Mu.

After listening to Song Peiyu's anecdote, Chong Yi stared at Song Peiyu's calm face thoughtfully, "You also want to give your birth mother an order."

Song Peiyu smiled, neither admitted nor denied, and said softly, "Your Highness will look at it first, and I suddenly remembered that the box of newly collected books sent by Xianyang yesterday has not been sorted."

Chong Yi watched Song Peiyu's figure gradually disappear from the tree, and then focused on the people kicking shuttlecocks in a circle in the distance.

After Song Peiyu returned to her room, she didn't bother with the box of books that Xianyang sent, but took a favorite inkstone and came out to grind the ink herself.

After the ink was uniform, he also finished the draft, and wrote a plainly worded article in one go.After carefully checking that there were no mistakes, he copied it on a blank booklet and called Jinbao to come in loudly.

"Take my name tag and send this brochure to the Ministry of Rites." Song Peiyu handed the written brochure to Jin Bao.

Jin Bao took it with both hands, and deliberately found an empty wooden box to put the folder in, "But you want to send it directly to the second master?"

Song Peiyu shook her head, "You don't need to tell the second brother, just send it to the Yizhi Cleaning Department."

After Jin Bao left, Song Peiyu sat quietly for a long time before going to look at the account books of Fenfang Court and Ming Ke Lou.

Since Fenfangting's business has stabilized, the income has not fluctuated much.

The Mingkelou is different. Since the opening of the Mingkelou, there have been a large number of imitations of the Mingkelou in Xianyang, and occasionally the business of the Mingkelou has fluctuated.

After clearing up the recent accounts, Song Peiyu was about to call Yinbao in when she heard a knock on the door.Yin Bao said outside, "Master, Mr. Lu is here to visit."

This Zhuangzi was originally a dilapidated palace. The original scale was there. After the renovation, there are many places where people can live.

Chong Yi lives alone in the main courtyard.

The eldest princess and the head of Huiyang County live in a courtyard behind.

Luo Yong and Ping Zhang live in the same courtyard, Sheng Tairan and Bo Yang live in the same courtyard.

Both Song Peiyu and Lu Jihe have their own separate small courtyards, which are on the left and right sides of Chongyi's courtyard.

The weather was just right, Song Peiyu entertained Lu Jihe in the small gazebo in the yard.

Both sides deal with each other patiently, obviously they are not the ones attending the lectures, but they can sit together, sincerely missing their teachers.

I don't know if the teachers are lucky enough to hear their conversation, will they be very moved, or they will look weird.

Until the maid brought new tea, the two fell silent in unison.

After a long time, Lu Jihe suddenly laughed, "If we go around like this, I'm afraid we'll sit here for three days and three nights and consume all the good tea you brought, so it won't be a serious matter."

Song Peiyu was surprised, "I thought you came to me just to chat, but you have something serious to do?"

Lu Jihe pretended not to hear the hidden sharpness in Song Peiyu's words, and said straight to the point, "I heard that Mrs. Yunyang intends to propose a marriage proposal for you, but she went to banquets frequently recently but there was no result."

Song Peiyu was really surprised this time, he really hadn't heard his elder brother and sister-in-law talk about this to him, but he didn't show any clues on his face, and casually joked with Lu Jihe, "Don't you have any other sisters waiting for you?" Boudoir?"

"I don't think I've been rude today, why do you always have to disagree with me in your words?" Lu Jihe's face had no smile at all, revealing that he and Song Peiyu hated each other.

Song Peiyu was silent for a while, and found that Lu Jihe was right. His patience in speaking today was indeed not as good as in the past, and it was really wrong to use his sister as a joke.

So he poured a cup of tea for Lu Jihe himself, and motioned for Lu Jihe to continue.

"I'm here to tell you that my father recently got a good thing from the filial piety." Lu Jihe took out a palm-sized bronze plaque from his sleeve and put it on the table in front of Chong Yi, "Seven and a half tall rosewood plaques The wooden box looks like an old object. The seal is also extremely tight, and there is no half loss. I don’t know what treasures are inside, so it is worth sealing up like this.”

Song Peiyu's pupils constricted suddenly, and she took the bronze medal in her hand and rubbed it carefully, and sure enough, she found a familiar pattern in a hidden place.

The Song family traveled from Luoyang to Xianyang for almost four years, during which time it was by no means smooth sailing, except that many branches fell apart, and there were also things that could not be announced, including seven red sandalwood boxes.

There is the real genealogy of the Song family.

The one enshrined in Song's ancestral hall today is a genealogy written silently by the elders of the family according to memory.

The lost share is a family tree that has been passed down from generation to generation since hundreds of years ago.

It's okay to say that the genealogy is gone, after all, every generation of the Song family will have inconspicuous people who memorize the genealogy, just to prevent such accidents from happening.

But this premise is that the family tree disappears completely, rather than falling into the hands of others.

The genealogy not only records the names of all the descendants of the Song family and the offshoots of the Five Dynasties, but also their life events.If the genealogy falls into the hands of the Lu family, it is equivalent to stripping Song's clothes clean, and then letting the Lu family watch and comment.

If the Lu family does something better, the Song family's genealogy will be made public.

Not to mention the Zhao country, I am afraid that all the aristocratic families in the nine countries will laugh their heads off.

"This kind of interesting thing should be told by the minister to my elder brother." Song Peiyu put the bronze plaque that hurt his hand back on the table, and pretended to be calm, "I am still young and have little experience. , I’m afraid I’m not qualified to appraise treasures with Lord Shang Shuling.”

"My father has not had time to see what is in those seven boxes, but he can guess that they must be treasures, and he is planning to give those seven boxes to the girls in the family as dowry." Lu Jihe said again Pushing the bronze sign on the table towards Song Peiyu, he said meaningfully, "In addition to my siblings, I also have a cousin who happens to be about the same age as you. She grew up with my sister since she was a child. On the other hand, the parents are planning to adopt the cousin into their names."

Song Peiyu froze and did not speak. If his family tree was not still in the hands of the other party, he really wanted to tell Lu Jihe, 'So you really have a younger sister who is waiting to be married'.

Seeing that Lu Jihe was about to unilaterally betroth his cousin to him, Song Peiyu had no choice but to interrupt, "I remember you didn't say that last time."

When Lu Jihe talked about his own sister to Chong Yi last time, she was clearly the 'unique' 'Pearl of the Palm', but now it has not been a year, and she has become Lu's twin sister.

Lu Jihe unfolded the folding fan in his hand, squinted his eyes and looked into the distance, ignoring Song Peiyu's interruption, "It's just that my cousin is not as valuable as my sister after all, and my parents love her, so they won't give her all seven boxes as a dowry .”

"Your family is really greedy." Song Peiyu sighed sincerely.

Lu Jihe was not angry, he smiled and cupped his hands, "Congratulations"

Since Song Peiyu said that the Lu family was greedy, Lu Jihe showed Song Peiyu's greed, and he conjured up a third sister, this time a sister from a side branch whose status was not as good as her cousin.

If Chongyi is willing to marry Lu Jihe's younger sister as his concubine, then the seven boxes will all be Lu Jihe's younger sister's dowry.

If Chongyi does not want to marry Lu Jihe's sister, but is willing to accept Lu's daughter as a concubine, most of the seven boxes will be the dowry of that Lu's daughter.The remaining half was the dowry of Lu Jihe's cousin. If Song wanted it, Song Peiyu would marry Lu Jihe's cousin.

After understanding Lu's conditions, Song Peiyu humbly asked, "Do you have a fourth sister?"

Lu Jihe sneered, "The Lu family is flourishing and prosperous, let alone four, even I have forty younger sisters."

"Don't blame me for not reminding you." Lu Jihe suddenly darkened his face, "Given the relationship between you and His Highness, if His Highness wants to stabilize his position, he needs more help."
