[Red Mansions] The Road to Empress Dowager

Ouyang Lei rushed back to the capital with two entourages of warriors. There were 4000 forbidden soldiers stationed [-] miles outside Zhangjia Village.Ouyang Lei still communicated with the commander in his capacity as the emperor's secret envoy, telling them not to mess with the three or [-] people in Zhangjia Village.

Afterwards, I took the water route through Wuchang until I arrived at Shiyan, and then changed to Guanzhong by land, and arrived in Kyoto. Before I had time to rest, I went directly to the palace to face the saint.

It was already the twelfth lunar month, and the emperor, who had become a workaholic because his wife was not around, hadn't even closed his pen yet.He has just finished discussing politics, but he wants to apply the budget system of the harem to the court. He also heard from his wife that modern China has an advanced budget system.Governing the country does not mean that the more you know how to accumulate money, the better, but that you are also very particular about spending money.The actions of the imperial court in feudal society were relatively static, so there was no change in production and life for a long time.

Modern society has an advanced and complete budget statistics system, so the government's actions are aggressive, whether it is infrastructure, education and health, or even the performance improvement of officials, they all pay attention to actual data.

Tu Yuanyi originally thought that he had accumulated some people and money in the past few years, but when he really started his business, after budgeting, he realized that he did not have money and was in short supply of talents.

He has transferred Jia Huan to make next year's budget, and Tu Yuanyi is satisfied with Jia Huan's prelude to the king.However, once when he was in a good mood, Jia Huan pleaded with him to release Jia Zheng from prison and go home for a year, which made Tu Yuanyi very displeased.

It has been nearly two years since Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang were imprisoned in the cell of Jingzhao Mansion under the influence of Jia Yuanchun. Although he controlled them rationally and did not kill them, he did not let them go.Tu Yuanyi knew in his heart that there were many reasons why Jia Yuanchun did such a thing. They were responsible, but not fully responsible.When the emperor was angry, blood flowed like rivers, but those girls had an unclear relationship with Jia's family, and Xing Xiuyan had a temperament of pity for fragrance and love for jade.He made up his mind that if the queen did not return, they would be locked up forever.

Tu Yuanyi heard that Ouyang Lei was asking for an audience outside the hall, so he quickly called him in.

After Ouyang Lei kowtowed, Tu Yuanyi hurriedly asked: "Where's the queen?" Before they found the queen, they sent the two warriors back to Beijing one step earlier, Tu Yuanyi couldn't help but smile a little.

Ouyang Lei was a little embarrassed, seeing Tu Yuanyi staring at him closely, he said: "something happened in the middle, the queen...she doesn't remember the past."

Tu Yuanran suddenly stood up from the dragon chair, and asked, "What do you mean you can't remember the past?!"

So Ouyang Lei could only do business with the Chen family by explaining how the queen was rescued by the Chen family.After that, she followed Mr. Chen into Shu to do business, and when she was in danger on the return journey, she rescued her companions wisely;At that time, I couldn't escape the White Lotus Sect, so I had no choice but to be a good "zhaizhu", and the alliance established a grand strategy of reforming thinking and recruiting security in the future.How to move to Zhangjia Village in order to survive, how to lead the production, construction and military training of the people;

Hearing this, Tu Yuanyi was dumbfounded.

Tu Yuanyi asked again: "The queen doesn't remember anything, and doesn't she remember me and the children at all?"

Ouyang Lei nodded and said, "The Empress...is very...mighty now." He really wanted to say "cruel", but it was a derogatory term.

Tu Yuanyi asked: "Mighty? Then?"

Ouyang Lei said: "At the beginning, when I heard people in the village say that the queen stabbed the seven leaders to death in the dining hall without batting an eye, I was skeptical. , I saw it with my own eyes, the empress... is really... mighty."

Tu Yuanyi took some time to digest, and then said: "It's okay, she has always been domineering, and it's normal for her to be a little aggressive when she's not in the palace."

Tu Yuanyi asked some more details. Although Ouyang Lei stated in more euphemistic terms, Tu Yuanyi still understood that it was the woman who wanted to be spanked who didn't want to come back.

She didn't remember who he was, and she wanted to be an official in a whimsical way.

Tu Yuanyi hehe.

Yuanyi, a disciple of the New Year's Day in the first lunar month, survived such joy and anger. After the fifteenth day, after dealing with some important matters in the beginning of spring, the imperial court was almost ready for his going south.The name of his trip to the south was "Yujia's personal conquest" to put down the rebellion of the White Lotus Sect, and the ministers of the court and central government approved him to go to Wuchang.

……

After the relatives of the original owner sent people to find it, and fought against Li Song's Bailian teaching army, it was very stable throughout the winter. During the day, Xin Xiuyan researched and built the spinning jenny with several carpenters and textile girls from the Corps.Xin Xiuyan studied design in college in her previous life, and her drawing skills are very good. She also remembers it clearly, but she doesn't know carpentry.

Before she lost her memory of Xing Xiuyan's youth, she didn't dare to do these things, because a more advanced production technology in an industry means that an old order will be broken, so she will become the public enemy of the old interest body.Xing Xiuyan doesn't have the strength to fight, so Xiao can only think about making money with embroidery skills, which won't infringe on a powerful interest group.

However, now that she is the leader of a female bandit, she can kill without blinking an eye, and she has soldiers and supplies under her, so she can't hold back her restless heart.

Xin Xiuyan shamelessly named it "Datong Army Spinning Machine". Now a new machine made by carpenters has forty vertical spindles, and it is running successfully.The most happy thing is the women in the logistics group, which means that they will be liberated from the original heavy spinning work.

Chunyu Bai saw that Xin Xiuyan was making a lot of noise in this village. Even if she wasn't a queen, there are more than 4000 people under her, but she is still strictly prohibited, and her personal/worship is at its peak.

The extremely plain and simple ideological guidance documents she wrote are learned by people one by one, and some people at the bottom will memorize them by rote if they don't understand them at first-this is what the Chinese are good at.

As the number of children increased, a "Hope Primary School" was built in the residential area to allow all children to go to school.Chen Yi, Duan Zhi and herself are all part-time primary school teachers, because there are not many literate people in the team.Mr. Wang, Chen Yi's accountant, is the principal and arithmetic teacher of "Hope Primary School".

She decides her own territory, and there is no old pedant here who can control her, so she directly introduces pinyin into literacy teaching.The current Mandarin is also based on the northern dialect, and the Kyoto dialect is not much different from the modern Beijing dialect.

This afternoon it was her turn to teach the little radishheads. Now the Datong Army's printing business is still relatively backward, and there is only one group to read the textbooks together.However, Xin Xiuyan still wrote a short text on the blackboard, with Chinese characters and pinyin.

The little radish heads read after her.

"My country, China, is called Huaxia. The mountains and rivers are beautiful and can be painted. The Yellow River rushes, the Yangtze River surges, the Great Wall is long, and Mount Everest towers..."

Xin Xiuyan combined with short stories from ancient times to broaden the knowledge of the children, and told the children where is where with a rough map of East Asia drawn from memory.

Children in ancient times did not have the small ancestors of modern times. Besides, Xin Xiuyan had a very high prestige, so the children would pay attention in class.

Chunyu Bai stood outside the window, watching Xin Xiuyan leading the children to write Chinese characters stroke by stroke, and thought to himself: It's really a combination of a goddess and a devil.

If every village and town in the world is like this, where everyone can live and work in peace and contentment, and children can study, how wonderful it will be.In this village, or town, everyone, no matter men, women, old or young, has the establishment of the Datong Army. Although there are high and low positions, they are extremely disciplined within the organization.The highest official, Xin Xiuyan, would not bully the common people, so naturally no one dared to do that, and even if there were, they were welcome to report.Mistakes within the organization are punished by criticism, warning, demerit, labor reform, and expulsion from the organization.

In times of chaos, such strict management can make the interior tightly unified. These ordinary people came out of the chaos and blood. After being armed with spirit and receiving military training, their combat effectiveness is stronger than that of the official army.Chunyu Bai was the instructor of the Forbidden Army, and he had already realized this after staying for two months.This also gave him a thought that the queen's talent was no less than that of the emperor.However, he quickly denied it, because not all the people in Da Zhou were like the people in Zhangjia Village. Those scholars, clans, nobles, businessmen and people from 360 were not so easy to manage.Governing hundreds of miles and governing thousands of miles are two different things.

Winter goes to spring, and everything is revived, colorful.

At this time, Xin Xiuyan was still leading the Datong Army, men, women and children, busy with spring plowing and planting. Even the "Hope Elementary School" was on spring vacation, and all the people were used for agricultural production.However, the sound of trumpets can be heard everywhere on the fertile land with a radius of thirty miles, and production activities are in full swing.

Xin Xiuyan is wearing a cotton gray military uniform, very similar to "Tuba/Lu". The military uniforms in the whole village are like this. She has aesthetics and can design beautiful uniforms from various countries. Unfortunately, this small town is too small for women. There is also a shortage of labor, so the materials made are not up to standard.

This kind of military uniform quickly became popular among the Datong army, because it was convenient, practical and easy to move around.Xin Xiuyan's hair that grew to her buttocks was also cut off by her, only reaching her shoulders, and she tied two thick braids.At this time, she is dedicated to running the Datong Army, and she feels that this is her foundation.

On this day, she was watching everyone give birth in the field, and Chunyu Bai naturally accompanied and protected her. As the spring warmed up, the hibernating snakes and insects came out to move.

She met a big viper weighing about three catties in the vegetable field, and her eyes lit up. When it attacked, her fast sword had already stabbed the snake's head out of its sheath.

Chunyu Bai was taken aback, he was a little farther away just now, he can guard against assassins, but this kind of thing is hard to guard against.

The guard came up with a smile and said, "Commander, your swordsmanship is getting better and better! Just now I didn't see how you shot."

Xin Xiuyan laughed, quite proudly, and said: "Take it away and clean it up, let the kitchen cook a hot pot, use my wine ticket to make three catties of rice wine, and I will invite Lao Duan and the others to eat together in the evening."

The guard smiled and said, "Yes, go right away!"

"return!"

The guard ran back again, and said with a flattering smile, "Commander, what other orders do you have?"

Xin Xiuyan said: "Let the old king of the cafeteria make two catties of ramen for me. It will be put into the snake soup at that time. It tastes good. The snake gall is drunk with wine and sent to Mrs. Zhang. Her eyesight is not good."

"Okay!"

Xin Xiuyan said to Chunyu Bai again: "Old Yu, you are welcome to be together at night!"

Chunyu Bai cupped his hands and smiled slightly.At this moment, I heard a report from the sentinels guarding the village that there were guests in Zhangjiacun.

Xin Xiuyan really didn't think about such a situation, full of realism and modern mass production in the village singing "socialism is good" painting style, suddenly inserting the classical romantic and romantic painting style of Lao Mouzi's movie "Hero".

Eight samurai warriors in red with exquisite black gauze crowns wear delicate and narrow embroidered spring knives from the Ming Dynasty improved by Da Zhou, which makes Xin Xiuyan look like a Japanese samurai sword. Of course, the Japanese sword is also made after the Tang sword , but it was lost in China later, so that when people saw such a knife, they thought it was a Japanese knife.

This further confirms the "classical romantic martial arts style" in Xin Xiuyan's mind.

But behind the eight red-clothed warriors, there were four young and beautiful girls in white clothes holding incense towels, embroidered handkerchiefs, rinsing bowls, and dust whisks. After that, four strong men in black clothes carried a white gauze sedan chair. The young man was carrying four exquisite food boxes and stood by his side. Beside the sedan chair was a handsome man in a royal blue robe holding a sword. It was Ouyang Lei.

Behind the sedan chair, there were more than 100 red-clothed warriors and more than 200 black-clothed servants leading mules and horses, carrying heavy salutes.

Xin Xiuyan's eyes widened like the other bumpkins in the Datong Army, and she held her breath.

Xin Xiuyan saw that Chunyu Bai had brought people over, and they all bowed down: "See you, master!"

Suddenly they heard a faint "well, flat body", and when everyone was flattened, they also stopped the sedan chair.

Another warrior with quick hands and feet came up from behind and spread a layer of carpet in front of the sedan chair.

The sedan chair curtain was beaten up by two white-faced and beardless young men in green clothes, but a tall and straight man in a white robe who was elegant in the Wei and Jin Dynasties stepped out of the sedan chair.

Long hair in half a bundle, hanging down to the waist, looks like a shaved face, skin like ice and snow, dragon eyebrows and phoenix eyes, black pupils like a pool, thin lips like vermilion red, and a straight nose like jade.

Xin Xiuyan and her country bumpkins couldn't help but stopped breathing, and none of them dared to blink.

When Xin Xiuyan saw such a peerless handsome man, her ears couldn't help but her heart skipped a beat.

Isn't that right, sir? !

He is the master?Ex-husband? !

Oh, myladygaga!

What should I start with? !

Xin Xiuyan laughed and stepped forward, saying: "The honored guest has come from afar, and the fluffy plants are shining!"

Xin Xiuyan bowed her hands to him, but the other party just looked her up and down sideways, slightly hooked the corners of her mouth, and looked at the residential area in front of her that could no longer be called a "village".

This master is of course Tu Yuanyi. After he went south to Wuchang, he only rested for two nights to make arrangements and then went directly to Shu. He wanted to see how that lawless woman couldn't think of Shu.

Tu Yuanyi said lightly: "Although I came from a long way, I'm not considered a visitor. Let's lead the way."

As he said that, he got into the sedan chair again with a flick of his sleeves. Xin Xiuyan stood there in a daze after social failure. It was Ouyang Lei who came to remind her that she led the way.

I have been welcoming this old man to the "Loyalty Hall" to serve tea. "Loyalty Hall" is the living room. Of course, the female bandit leader is sitting on the high platform, but she found that when the old man took the first seat on the left, there seemed to be a bit of an atmosphere of disobedience. .

And his people also emptied the people in the "Loyalty Hall", leaving only two people to talk.

But he didn't speak for a long time, and she didn't know how to break the embarrassment, so she suddenly said: "Master, you have traveled all the way, let the cafeteria prepare a dust-cleaning banquet for you."

Tu Yuanyi took a sip of tea and said, "I wonder if the tea was made a few years ago, so feel free to bring it to me."

Xin Xiuyan couldn't help but blushed, and said: "This is...a material from a few years ago. Our Zhangjia Village has not grown tea in the past two years."

Tu Yuanyi said: "Fortunately, the people below brought some."

Tu Yuanyi looked at the hall again, his eyes were full of pickiness, and he said, "I thought you would be a high-ranking official with all your heart, and you should be doing well, that's it?"

"Starting a business is difficult, but it will be fine in the future."

"You're quite confident."

Xin Xiuyan felt awkward again, and suddenly asked: "Have you already told that Mr. Yang?"

"What about your amnesia?"

"Well, there's also... Zhaoan... aren't you an official in the court?"

Tu Yuanyi hehe, raised his eyebrows and said, "I thought you had the guts to rebel with your posture."

Xin Xiuyan sighed: "Why should I rebel? Unless you want to be emperor."

Tu Yuanyi smiled and said: "If I want to be the emperor, will you fight for me?"

Xin Xiuyan said: "Being an emperor is meaningless, as long as you have food and money to spend."

Tu Yuanyi took a deep breath and said, "You have never been an emperor, how do you know it's boring?"

Xin Xiuyan looked at him suspiciously for a while, and said: "Master, don't think about it, there are only a few thousand people under my command. If you rebel, you will fight until the year of the monkey. Now it is the Han Dynasty. Rebellion will not cause civil war in the whole country, and the lives will be destroyed. ?"

Tu Yuanyi said: "You are still a "loyal minister"."

"It doesn't count. If the old emperor doesn't beat me, then I won't beat him either."

"What if he hits you?" he asked back.

"No way?"

"In case he decides to destroy you, do you want to fight back?"

"I heard from Chen Yi that the emperor's reputation is not bad. If he is a good emperor, of course he wouldn't be so unreasonable, and the court ministers wouldn't mess around."

Only then did Tu Yuanyi feel a little happy, his eyes brightened.It's true that Xin Xiuyan doesn't want to be an emperor now. There are too many dynasties in China, don't you have to worry about standing in that position every day?

Tu Yuanyi smiled and said: "The matter of recruiting security is a bit of an idea. I heard from the Minister of the Ministry of War that the imperial court would like to make you a... a captain of Yihui from the seventh rank."

Xin Xiuyan twitched the corner of her mouth: "From the seventh rank?"

"Do you think the official is too young?"

Xin Xiuyan said: "Then is this a big official?" Her psychological price is from the fifth-rank Ranger General.

Tu Yuanyi leaned lazily on the seat, smiled coquettishly, and said, "Why don't you stop being an official and go home with me, and you can be a super... madam."

Xin Xiuyan said: "I forgot to ask, sir, what is your surname, and what is your official position in the court?"

Tu Yuanyi smiled slightly and said, "Uh... the emperor... last year he named me... Prince Heng."

"Heng, Qin, Wang?!" Xin Xiuyan was dumbfounded, she absolutely didn't know that there was no such title in the court, even the most knowledgeable Chen Yi and Duan Zhi didn't know.

"Are you from the clan? I... I used to be Princess Hengqin?"

Tu Yuanyi said: "Didn't you think you were dead? I was planning to continue, and I sent several rosters of ladies from all over the world. I haven't selected them yet. If such a big event happened on your side, I can't come and see it? "

Xin Xiuyan felt uncomfortable for a while, even though she was her ex-husband, seeing him don't hug her pipa would make her feel uncomfortable.

"I really don't remember anything now. I have experienced too much in the past two years. I must be different from before. If you want to marry another, I will not stop you. But, I heard... I gave birth to three children. Let me take care of the child, for the sake of your own sons, the step-wife of your princely family will probably abandon them."

Tu Yuanyi snorted twice, squinted his eyes and said, "Xin Xiuyan, do you think you have traveled to some kind of 'female world'? Where are you going to leave your husband? Huh?"

Xin Xiuyan couldn't help jumping up, her eyes widened, and she stammered, "You...you also...traveled?"

Tu Yuanyi raised his long eyebrows flirtatiously, looked at her and said, "Do you think that you can't stay at home anymore, so you should come to the rivers and lakes to play? Have you found a second male who is affectionate and unrepentant to you?" 'Is it? With your rudeness, you said that besides I can't force you, which other man wants you?"

Xin Xiuyan stared at him blankly, looked him up and down, and said, "You are really dressed? But how do you know me? Who are you?"

Tu Yuanyi said: "Xin Xiuyan, you should put away your attitude, you have already had three children, what are you pretending to me?"

Xin Xiuyan smiled bitterly: "I really don't know you."

Tu Yuanyi snorted and said, "That's why I believe you have amnesia. Once I came here and saw you wearing this nonsense, I understood. Cut the nonsense, I'm tired, take me to your room rest here."

Xin Xiuyan hurriedly took three steps back, her face full of defense.

Tu Yuanyi tilted his head in interest, and said, "Are you going to perform 'Huang Hua/Girl' with me now? Well, please start your performance!"

Xin Xiuyan's face was like a palette, and she said, "So, you...you really know...me?"

Tu Yuanyi rolled his eyes and said, "Xin Xiuyan is from Gusu, her father is an accountant, her mother is a housewife, and she went to... XX Academy of Fine Arts, right?"

When Duan Zhi, Chen Yi and the others heard the sound and came to meet the guests, they saw their leader blushing and taking the earth-shattering beauty... to open a room, no, back to her room.

Everyone couldn't help stretching their necks and protruding their eyeballs.

As soon as Tu Yuanyi entered her bedroom, he saw that there was still ink and manuscript paper on the table, several clothes were piled up on the couch, a "trash can" was full of garbage and had not been emptied, and the two pairs of shoes were not worn. wash.

Tu Yuanyi frowned slightly, and said, "Are you a kennel?"

Xin Xiuyan looked at his elegant and flowing robes, how much like her hand-painted handsome men's outfits when she was on a whim in the past, and it was spotless.This painting style is too contradictory.

"Right now, everyone is busy with spring plowing, and it's about time...to clean up."

Tu Yuanyi said: "You are a woman, and you can't even do housework. Where do you have the confidence to find your second spring outside?"

Xin Xiuyan scratched her head and said, "I... I'm not that bad. The Datong army all...respect me...he...they say...I...I'm good-looking."

"Aren't you guilty of saying that?"

"...Could it be...I...I don't look good?"

"...The posture of a middle-aged man."

Xin Xiuyan fiddled with her fingers, then secretly glanced at him, but he suddenly smiled evilly, and dragged her to the bed.

"You...what are you doing?"

Tu Yuanyi frowned and said, "Even though I lost my memory, my color/heart is still the same as before. I have never seen such a shameless woman like you."

Tu Yuanyi let out a long sigh, but threw him down. Xin Xiuyan wanted to resist, but he didn't know where to press on her body. Her body went numb and she was powerless to resist.
