Spring grows in summer, grows in autumn, harvests in winter, and hides in winter. After the rainy and hazy March, it will be hot and hot every day in early summer. Under the misty wind and rain, Dayu spent a long winter. Judging from the tributes that came, this year is another fruitful year.

The tree fell and the monkeys scattered, and Chu Ping's downfall caused bloody storms inside and outside the court. On the surface, Chu Ping's funeral was dignified and put all his retainers, including all the officials and subordinates who had been involved with Chu Ping. One was transferred and dismissed in the next few months, and what's more, his family died during the migration.

When everything calmed down at the beginning of June, the scouts sent to inquire about the news never found Qi Ping's whereabouts, but just [-] miles away from where Wei Bingcheng's body was found, they found a horse tied to the door by a farmer. The horses, with slender limbs and strong bodies, are definitely not the farm horses used by ordinary farmers to consign goods.

After asking, I found out that two months ago, the farmer accidentally picked up this steed. There were dry food and broken silver in the saddle bag. He thought the owner would come back to look for it. Unexpectedly, no one asked about it for ten days. Forage is an expense every day, and it is simply used to plow the land to pull goods, but this horse eats a lot but is not as heavy-duty as other horses, so I want to sell it to others for some silver taels, so it has been tied to the door. As for asking the strange woman , the farmer shook his head and said: "I have lived here for a long time, and everyone knows each household. I haven't seen anyone new in the past few months."

After thanking him, he gave Yinliang in exchange for the horse, and finally got a clue in a town farther away. The doctor looked at the woman in the painting and moaned for a moment. Racking her brains, she raised her forehead and said: "Two months ago, this woman was traveling with a caravan. She was unconscious due to the cold and high fever. The caravan seemed to be from a foreign race. I didn't elaborate on other things, but the clothes should be Bei Xun."

Where did I find it? There are many caravans passing through here, and it happened two months ago. I don’t know whether I am dead or alive, or I encountered human traffickers. I went around and found no definite whereabouts until June , Qi Xiao didn't get any better in the palace, her daily expectations were worn out little by little, and the torment of being helpless tormented her day and night, except for waiting and praying.

Every few days, a spy would come back to report. At the end of May, Qi Xiao saw despair in the eyes of the spy. Sometimes despair is easier than hope, and she will always be disheartened by the hope that has failed, but The next day, I will eagerly look forward to the next news.

Under the blows of desperation, hope came suddenly. When Qi Xiao handed over the letterhead in the northern ten days, Qi Xiao only regarded it as a good correspondence between the two countries. Standing up on the dragon chair, I checked it several times to make sure that I was not dazzled, and then I laughed foolishly, "I found it, I found it."

The ministers who were negotiating next to him couldn't figure it out, but it had been a long time since Qi Xiao was so happy, and they all echoed and congratulated.

Immediately, he wanted to appoint an envoy to go to Beixun to take Qilu back, but Beixun's messenger added: "Your Majesty, my concubine said that Your Majesty should go there in person."

The last additional condition of the letter is that Qi Xiao should go there in person. If it weren’t for this, it would be hard to obey. He was happy to see Qi Ping’s whereabouts before, but he missed the subsequent request. Jun, besides, Bei Xun's request is very unreasonable, we are a huge country, so why be afraid of him."

When he was still nearby, he didn't get angry at the minister's bad words. He lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes and explained: "Princess Yihe, we respect you as our honored guest. The princess and the princess have a deep relationship and righteousness. It's all out of morality. The princess travels in distress. On the way, I was fortunate to be rescued, if I handed it over to someone else to escort me back to the country, it would be wrong..."

"I will send elite soldiers to guard there." Qi Xiao said, "Make sure everything is safe."

The special envoy shook his head, refusing to give in at all, "My concubine means that if Your Majesty has no time to go there in person, let Princess Yi and Princess stay for a while, so that we can catch up and connect with each other."

Hearing the last sentence, Qi Xiao couldn't help her eyebrows tangle together, savoring the words just now in her heart carefully, not knowing whether it was Shang'er who said it on purpose, or because she was worrying too much, although she knew that Qi Ping was safe and sound, her heart was not at all relaxed, on the contrary, she felt even more worried. Do not get down to earth.

The special envoy was asked to leave first, and the surrounding ministers said without hesitation: "Beixun's national power is now strong, and we have won the Lu Qun by our country. I heard that among the treasures of the four major towns of the barbarians, there is a bit of gold that can be turned into gold. Technique, I believe that they intend to provoke, His Majesty must not rush there."

"Turning stones into gold and grass as soldiers? It's ridiculous, really. Why did the barbarians lose in the first place?" Qi Xiao didn't take the minister's words seriously, but she knew what would happen if she went to Beixun, let alone what happened in Beixun In the next game, I will be in danger of my life. Let’s say that Dayu’s situation has just been settled. If it is a tour, it will not only waste people’s money and money, but it will take at least half a year. Besides, who can she trust to hand over the newly established foundation to him? He is the best candidate, but he already has a heavy army in his hands, so why not hand over the country to him, thinking of this headache, he waved his hand, sent the minister away from the study and said, "I understand what Ai Qing said, you all step back. "

The ministers were a little unwilling when they left, and seemed to want to persuade a few more words, but seeing Qi Xiao's embarrassed face, they swallowed their saliva and bowed to leave the study.

The sunshine of June pierced through the gaps in the window lattice and shot into the house. Qi Xiao tried to push away the dazzling light with his hands. The wind and dust in the air floated leisurely, and the whole world came alive again the moment before, and the chains that had been imprisoned on his body fell off. The joy of the body with every breath, every inch of skin radiates this cry of joy, "She's alive, she's alive."

Although Beixun's special envoy asked Qi Xiao to go there in person to pick up the princess, Qi Xiao still summoned 3000 people to Beixun in the shortest possible time. People can also take a look at Qi Zhi's recent situation for her.

After the men and horses from the north left the capital, Qi Xiao looked forward to their return every day, and often recited Qi Jue's Qijue poems on the Lantern Festival that year to express their lovesickness. Cha recalled the past, but Mo Zha still ignored her as before.

During the Mid-Autumn Festival, when she looked at the phrase "硙硙纚麚纚纚雅" on the short note, her longing reached its peak, and she finally received a message from a flying pigeon thousands of miles away, just like what Shang'er promised before, Qi Yu was treated as a guest of honor in Beixun, but Qi Xiao didn't go there in person, and Shang'er cleverly rejected the envoys who traveled thousands of miles away on the grounds that it was not suitable to go on the road in the cold autumn.

But what is reassuring is that the letter clearly stated that Qi Zhe looked beautiful and healthy, and it seemed that all the poisons of Daphne Flowers had been cured.

Song Wei, who was already the servant of the Ministry of Rites, saw that Qi Xiao was in a state of mind when he went to the court to discuss matters in recent days, because he was distracted and disappeared, and often when he went to the court, the ministers were in a dilemma with holding the jade wat.

This day in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Qi Xiao was discussing with him about the distribution of land and taxes for the farmers. He raised his eyes and saw Qi Xiao looking out the window blankly. The taciturn Qi Xiao doesn't reveal her thoughts even more.

Song Wei knew about Qi Xiao's troubles recently, but the monarch didn't open his mouth, so how could he inquire as a courtier.After being placed under house arrest by Chu Ping, Qi Bing didn't know where she was, and she didn't seem to be able to defeat this wise gentleman. Now, after hearing the good news, she can no longer calmly maintain her calm and wise mind.

This is of course understandable, since the most important person is within reach of him, and he has to stay in the capital thousands of miles away for the sake of the overall situation, no one can be calm, except for being annoyed at Shang'er's request , but also get angry with yourself or vent your anger on political affairs that you can't get rid of.

Slack in politics, this emotion that seems to have never crossed with Qi Xiao, has become more and more obvious in the past few days.

The content of the conversation could not continue, Song Wei winked at the father-in-law standing behind Qi Xiao, and the other party knowingly helped Qi Xiao add tea, Qi Xiao came back to his senses and saw Song Wei who had been standing there for a long time, shook his head apologetically and said: "Song Qing continue, I'm listening."

"Your Majesty has been exhausted these days, why don't you come here first." Song Wei suggested, and continued to probe cautiously, "If Your Majesty has any worries, even though I am dull, I will try my best to share them for Your Majesty."

Qi Xiao understood what Song Wei was referring to, took a sip of tea, and said something else, "Dayu has thousands of miles of mountains and millions of people, what do you think will happen if you let them go?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, I believe that the rule of heaven is natural. Taoists say that if you do nothing, the people will transform themselves; if you are quiet, the people will be upright; if you have nothing to do, the people will be rich; if you have no desires, the people will be simple. Virtue seeks to overthrow each other.” Song Weidao, “Man follows the earth, the earth follows the sky, the sky follows the way, the way follows nature, the law restrains the people, punishes the wicked and punishes the evil, even if you do nothing to govern, you can still prosper.”

"So what Song Qing means is that as long as the law is fair and clear, everything will follow its own course and follow the rules."

"That's right, so Your Majesty doesn't need to worry too much. Everything in the world follows and develops, and it has its cause and effect."

Qi Xiao looked down at the tea in the cup thoughtfully, and waved Song Wei to retreat. In the next few days, the decadent spirit was swept away, and Qi Xiao returned to the state of indulging in political affairs in the past.

Going to court every day, criticizing until late at night every night, when the minister relieved that Qi Xiao would not give up the country and the country for the sake of beauty, he couldn't help worrying whether there was something hidden behind such a rebellious change.

In the hall, after hearing that Qi Xiao ordered the cabinet to compile the code and promulgate many new laws, Song Wei knew Qi Xiao's purpose one step earlier than other ministers.

From autumn to winter, after a series of land farming reforms to reduce taxes, the things that came into the palace from various places this year were [-]% more than in previous years.

On the first day of the first day of the lunar new year, worshiping the heaven and the ancestors, holding the ceremonial guards, whipping the whip and quieting the street, Qi Xiaoduan sat in the Taiji Hall, and all the officials faced north and kowtowed four times to the emperor sitting on the throne in the hall.

Tianchong was 15 years old, and the following decades were hailed as the Fengwei prosperity of the Dayu Dynasty.
