After I became a widow

After the lack of troublemakers, the rebuilding of Mississippi was done very quickly.

After Xiao Beihuai submitted the paper, the emperor also arranged for people to take over the affairs of Mizhou. Xiao Beihuai also kept some of his own people in Mizhou, and with the newly recruited local officials, the Mizhou Yamen was barely fully equipped. up.

After this rectification, as long as Mizhou, the newly appointed prefect, does not have any moths, these living people can live a peaceful life for a few years.

Before returning to Beijing, he took Su Jingqing to walk through Mizhou again, from Mizhou City to the counties and villages under his jurisdiction.

"Just take a look when you come here, whether it's good or bad, I don't know when I'll have a chance to come back when I get back to Kyoto."

Mizhou is not considered a good place, and in addition to the disaster, poverty and misery are all on the surface.

But this place is also full of life because someone gave them hope.

In addition to rectifying Mizhou's officialdom, Mizhou is still building roads for the rich and unkind, and the people have land and have been exempted from taxes for two years.

Xiao Beihuai mentioned the matter of taxation very early on, and he also handed over the booklet to the emperor, but the emperor did not respond at first, and only recently did the imperial decree come. After the imperial edict, the people of Mizhou were very happy.

"It's time to take a look," the crops in the field are growing just right, and they are so green that you can't see the end at a glance.Su Jingqing said: "You led people to rescue these people, and you gave them a way to survive. They are the people of Dayong, and they will be your people in the future."

Regarding the throne, Xiao Beihuai actually didn't have that much ambition, but he couldn't give up the throne, he had to sit on it.

If the throne is in the hands of Xiao Yunyi or someone else, how is it different from changing the dynasty?

He didn't like the various court balance and emperor techniques played by the emperor when he was the emperor, but the throne was won by the ancestors of the Xiao family, so it was impossible for him to watch the throne fall into the hands of outsiders.

Xiao Beihuai rode his horse and walked beside Su Jingqing, looked sideways at his princess, and smiled, "You're right."

"But they will also be your people, you and I are one."

If he wants to be the emperor, Su Jingqing will naturally be the empress, and the empress and empress are one.

Su Jingqing looked at him, but there was not much other emotion in his eyes, he was just looking at this person seriously.

Two years ago...it should be three years ago, Su Jingqing never thought that this day would come.

The young general lost his childishness, and turned into a stable prince with the ambition of an emperor, who took the responsibility of the people of the world as his own.

Xiao Beihuai is still Xiao Beihuai, only more handsome.

Su Jingqing nodded, responding to his rebellious words.

From the day of Hongxiu Zhao, Su Jingqing has been ready.

It is said to be a walk around, but in fact it is no different from an inspection, and it also has a better understanding of the situation in Mizhou.It took nearly a month to complete the journey, and when we returned to Mizhou City, Xinzhizhou had already started government affairs, and Mizhou was only governed in an orderly manner.

It was an auspicious day for people to see, Xiao Beihuai made people notify the people of Mizhou to go to the execution ground to watch the punishment, he personally supervised the beheading, and beheaded Wang Quan.

Naturally, the common people vented their anger by throwing rotten vegetable leaves and cursing at others, alleviating the remaining resentment in their hearts.

After this matter is done, they should set off to return to Beijing.

From the winter of last year to the early summer of this year, Xiao Beihuai was finally able to bring people back to Beijing.

Knowing that they were going to leave, the people of Mizhou caught chickens and ducks and brought meat and eggs, as well as wild vegetables and fruits from the mountains, and came to give them away one after another.

None of them are precious things, but for these common people, this is already the best thing they can offer.

The common people also spontaneously made the Wanmin Umbrella, and they wanted to carry the umbrella to send it off from ten miles away.

The people are simple and simple, and many of them recognize the truth of death. If someone treats them well and saves their lives, they will clearly remember it.

For Xiao Beihuai, this is what he should do, and it is his responsibility. He has not thought of any rewards, as long as the people can live a good life, no chaos will be enough.

The scene in front of him seemed to coincide with the scene when the common people came to see him off when he returned from the Liangzhou class. Xiao Beihuai's chest felt hot, and he thought it was worth it.

People in two full cities will remember him.

"My lord, you did a good job. You see, everyone knows it and remembers it in their hearts."

Su Jingqing smiled and said to Xiao Beihuai, happy for him.

With him, the roots of Dayong are there, and it will not rot.

Bai Shu and others helped to thank Xiao Beihuai and persuaded the people to go back. Except for the Liangzhou guards, it was the first time for those who had never been on the battlefield to see such a scene. They were very excited and very happy, because the people were also thanking them .

At this moment, most of the people present had the same idea as Xiao Beihuai, and felt that all the hardships and hardships in Mizhou these past few months were worth it.

The line was very long, and everyone was smiling with pride and pride. The people who were persuaded not to go back were sent all the way to Mizhou City ten miles away. After saying goodbye, they officially set off to return to Kyoto.

Both Xiao Beihuai and Su Jingqing knew that their journey back to Beijing would not be peaceful.

What Xiao Beihuai thought was, "I don't need to let this king have another suspended animation."

He was with the concubine, and there was no one in the capital to help him turn around again.

Su Jingqing said: "No, if someone dares to come, we don't have to be soft-hearted. I wrote to the camp in the suburbs of Beijing a few days ago, and the military division will send someone to respond."

If these people are quiet enough to avoid the use of force, but if they are restless, then they will naturally not show mercy.

With Xiao Beihuai's military power in his hands, people must know what it is useful for.

As for the matter of being ginseng for deploying troops without authorization, they were really not afraid, Xiao Beihuai had never done anything bold, and the emperor himself was still guilty, so he would not punish Xiao Beihuai.

And the people who joined them, if they hadn't sent murderers to kill them, would not have known about their arbitrarily dispatched troops.

I was not in the mood when I came, and there were many people going back, and the team walked slowly. I also wanted to appreciate the scenery along the way.

Of course, this journey was not boring, because as soon as he left the border of Mizhou, he ran into assassins, and when he reached the next state capital, three groups of people came.

Living in a post station, poisoning the tea, poisoning the food, and assassination by Tibetans in the beams under the bed, there are really a lot of tricks.

The orphan girl who sold her body to bury her father also appeared several times, and once she was outside a village.

Bai Shu kindly stepped forward and said that there are so many of them, each of them can dig a grave with a hoe, so that the girl doesn't have to sell herself, and persuaded the girl to the point of crying.

Su Jingqing and the others were all amused, and for a moment they didn't know whether Bai Shu was too honest or too bad.

But the good thing is that no one will sell their bodies to bury their fathers later, and it has become a lawsuit.

When they passed by the city, someone rushed to the carriage holding a complaint, knelt down and began to cry and kowtow, begging Xiao Beihuai to uphold justice for them, surrounded by people who watched the excitement, and they couldn't leave.

If people are forced to stay, there will be a good show in a short time, all of which want their lives.

Seeing this, Xiao Beihuai was not in a hurry to return to the capital at all. He would investigate if someone filed a complaint. As soon as he found out that there was something wrong with the official, as long as the evidence was convincing, he would directly stamp his private seal and make a notice be posted. Drag it out and behead it.

Not only did he investigate the city where someone complained, but he also thoughtfully detoured to the next city to investigate. If he did a good job, he would be rewarded, and if he was guilty, he would be killed.

I was afraid that Xiao Beihuai would find out that these local officials had contact with their people in Kyoto, and that Xiao Beihuai would settle accounts with them when he arrived in Kyoto, so he was forced to stop and let Xiao Beihuai and his party arrive in Kyoto in mid-June.

Based on this calculation, Xiao Beihuai has been away from Beijing for more than half a year.

This is also Su Jingqing's first time traveling far away, and the first time he has been away from home for such a long time.

The news of their return had already spread to the capital. As soon as they entered the city, people gathered around to watch the excitement. Su Jingqing also saw his father and Su Mingyan in the crowd, and they were taking him home.

Smiling at his father and younger brother, Su Jingqing asked Xiao Beihuai, "Are you going to enter the palace first or go home first?"

Xiao Beihuai shook his head, "You go home first, I'll do something, and I'll pick you up after I'm done."

"Not entering the palace?"

Xiao Beihuai said: "I'll go after I've finished my work, and I have to eat after entering the palace."

Probably one thing, and the attitude of the emperor over and over again wiped out his father-son affection for the emperor. After leaving Beijing for half a year, he really didn't miss the emperor much.

"Then come to Su's house after you leave the palace," Su Jingqing didn't want to enter the palace, let alone have dinner with the emperor.

Xiao Beihuai agreed, said hello to Su's father, and left with Mo Yan. The others can go home first.

Su Jingqing glanced at the direction Xiao Beihuai was leaving, and probably guessed what Xiao Beihuai was going to do, he was walking in the direction of Prince Yi's Mansion.

When Su's father and Su Mingyan came, Su Jingqing dismounted and walked home with them slowly.

"I lost weight," Su's father pretended to have a serious face, and said the first sentence.

Su Jingqing always felt that his father had finally found an opportunity to say this. After all, the children who had traveled far away and returned home would inevitably be distressed and thinned by the elders after returning home.

But Su Jingqing and Su Mingyan didn't even go out of the gate of the capital city a few times before, and they kept their heads down and didn't look up to see his father every day. It was really hard for Su's father to have the experience of his son returning home from a long journey, so naturally he couldn't be said to have lost weight. .

Su Mingyan nodded, "Brother, is there no food in Mizhou? Your face has become smaller."

Su's father added: "Go back and make up, your mother has been busy in the kitchen early in the morning, and made chicken soup for you."

Su Jingqing didn't feel that he had lost weight, but the food in Mizhou was indeed far from that in Kyoto.

"Okay, go home and eat."

When he arrived at a familiar place, he could see his relatives as soon as he came back, so Su Jingqing was naturally in a good mood.

The father and son talked while walking. Su Jingqing asked about the recent family affairs. Su's father said, and Su Mingyan added that he was very happy when his brother came home, and the smile on his face never went away.

On one side, the family reunites with talking and laughing, but on the other side, Xiao Beihuai's place has a completely different atmosphere.

Xiao Beihuai went straight to Prince Yi's Mansion, dismounted when he reached the gate, threw the rope to Mo Yan, and asked the guard at the gate of Prince Yi's Mansion, "Where is Xiao Yunyi?"

His face was expressionless and his attitude was very cold. He could tell that the visitor was not friendly at first sight. The guards were frightened by him and hesitated to answer.

Xiao Beihuai was a little impatient, "Get out of the way!"

He retreated the guards, Xiao Beihuai went straight into the door, and the guards couldn't stop them, and dared not stop them at all.

As soon as he entered, the people in Prince Yi's Mansion knew about it, and immediately went to report to the housekeeper, went to find Xiao Yunyi and told him that Prince Huai was here.

There were a lot of things going on in the capital today, and Xiao Yunyi was involved a lot, especially after knowing that the Tang family had betrayed him, Xiao Yunyi was in a gloomy mood, either looking for trouble with the Tang family or drinking in the mansion.

Knowing that Xiao Beihuai was coming back today, Xiao Yunyi didn't want to see his smug face, let alone hear others praise him, so he simply didn't go out, let people serve wine, and had fun with his concubine's room in the mansion.

Hearing people report that Xiao Beihuai had come to his residence, Xiao Yunyi didn't have the desire to drink and have fun, so he immediately straightened his clothes and aggressively went to question Xiao Beihuai why he trespassed on his residence.

It's just that as soon as he saw someone and met Xiao Beihuai's sharp eyes, Xiao Yunyi's aura dropped by half.

But what should be said still needs to be said, Xiao Yunyi stared and asked Xiao Beihuai, "Xiao Beihuai, what are you doing in this palace?"

"You trespassed on this king's mansion, wouldn't you be afraid that this king would ask someone to take you down?!"

Xiao Beihuai's eyes on Xiao Yunyi's body were very cold, he didn't answer Xiao Yunyi's words, but suddenly stepped forward and grabbed Xiao Yunyi by the back collar, and carried him to the pool of Prince Yi's mansion.

The servants of Prince Yi's Mansion were not wary of Xiao Beihuai's sudden attack, and they didn't dare to do anything to Xiao Beihuai, so they could only follow behind him.

Xiao Yunyi struggled and cursed vigorously, but Xiao Beihuai turned a deaf ear and just carried him to the destination, then kicked Xiao Yunyi into the pool.

Xiao Yunyi yelled in a panic, waving his hands and struggling in the neither deep nor cold water, "Xiao Beihuai, you dare to kick this king. When I come up, I will kill you!"

Xiao Yunyi knew that he would not die, so he dared to speak harshly.

Xiao Beihuai didn't give him a chance to go ashore, he jumped into the pool by himself, then grabbed his back collar again, pressed Xiao Yunyi's neck and slammed his head into the water.

"You shouldn't touch my concubine when I'm not around. I want you to pay back ten times the amount of crimes he has suffered."

The water is not cold in summer, but the feeling of having your head in the water is not pleasant.

"Xiao Bei...you..."

Before Xiao Yunyi could finish his sentence, his head was pushed into the water again, and he was forced to drink a big mouthful of water.

Xiao Beihuai didn't want him to die, he just pressed him down and pulled him up again and again with a cold face, and repeated it tirelessly.

Xiao Yunyi was able to struggle at first, but then he was out of breath and kept drinking water, without any strength at all, so he could only let Xiao Beihuai manipulate him.

There was a group of people on the shore, but no one dared to make a sound, they went into the water to stop them, they were afraid that King Huai would go crazy and drown King Yi in the pool.

Even though it was June, it made people feel cold all over.
