How many buildings are in the mist

It was night, Duan Zhu and the two first accompanied the two queens to finish their meal, and then went back to Duan Qichen's palace to rest.After drinking a cup of scented tea, Zhu Xianwan suddenly asked: "Let me ask you, if—just if, just if—you want to poison my sister, will you poison through food or incense, and what kind of poison?"

Duan Qichen was stunned, and said: "Are you pretending that I understand this well?"

Zhu Xianwan apologized, Duan Qichen didn't bother with her, said: "It must be diet, absolutely no incense. I don't know about poison, it depends on what kind of poison I can come into contact with."

Zhu Xianwan then asked, "Why not incense?"

"The poison of cigarettes, if it can have the effect of poisoning, it must have taken effect immediately. If it can't, the effect will not be great, and if it is absorbed for a long time, then you must love incense? You have to light it all the time. Just stay with us for a while. Otherwise, do you think that it will be useful for us to make a fragrance for His Majesty?"

Zhu Xianwan nodded, "Then if it's food, what kind of poison do you think is most likely to be used?"

"I don't know much, but I think it should be invisible in the diet. You can put whatever the queen likes to eat at that time. As long as you can ensure that the poison is put in and cannot be detected, then That's it."

Zhu Xianwan asked again: "Then, do you think it is better to be poisoned by metal stones or poisoned by plants?"

"Gold and stone, I think." Duan Qichen said, "Because plants are always very poisonous and have a strong smell. Gold and stone are ground into powder, and often have no obvious smell. Why, do you have evidence?"

"How can I have it? Didn't they all say that there is no case."

"But after all these years, you don't want to know the cause of your sister's death?"

Zhu Xianwan shrugged, "If you say you don't want to know, it's not true. If there is a real culprit, of course I want to bring the real culprit to justice. But is sister's death really just a reason? Your Majesty has been blaming himself all the time. She always felt that if her elder sister was not a queen, she wouldn't have to bear the responsibility of giving birth to an heir, and probably nothing would happen. Or, is there anything wrong with my father?"

"Your father?"

"Yeah, I've always been thinking, if my father and the first emperor hadn't deliberately matched each other, maybe my sister wouldn't have married His Majesty at all? Maybe they wouldn't have met at all? You see, the first emperor and her queen both practice martial arts and are both masters." .Using the secret method to conceive and give birth to a daughter should require a strong body. It is not suitable for someone as weak as my sister."

Duan Qichen laughed at her, "If you think like this, where do you put your true feelings?"

"I'm not saying..."

"Of course it's a matching match, but there is also true love. If there is true love, nothing else matters."

Zhu Xianwan pushed her, "You Xianbei people, just like this—"

"That's it, that's it, that's right, that's it." Duan Qichen interrupted her, grabbed Zhu Xianwan's hand and kissed it, "We Xianbei people are like this, for the sake of feelings, we don't have to do anything."

"You don't want your life?" Zhu Xianwan lowered her voice and lowered her head.Duan Qichen didn't understand at first, but suddenly realized that she was talking about that night, and her heart warmed up, and she explained in a low voice: "I was also scared that night. After all, it was Your Majesty, and I didn't... what?" The only other way is that."

"Then you can't take the initiative to say that you seduced me."

"Otherwise, how can I let you off? Ah, I see."

"What do you know?"

"You must think that I am not beautiful enough, not as good as..."

At this point, she took the opportunity to change the form to Zhu Xianwan coaxing her.

On this side, either the sorrows and sorrows cannot reveal each other's feelings, or you and I don't care about the collapse of the world. In fact, there are still a couple of unlucky people in this world who are very busy at the Nankang Palace.

During these days when Feng Zihuan was dismissed from the court, Xie Yan not only had to work hard with Feng Zizhang in the palace to study how to design the final plan handed over to Feng Zihuan, but also cautiously contacted his friends in Jiankang City, Build a safe communication network that avoids people's eyes.While traveling in Jiankang, she encountered three different families: the first one, who threatened her, told her that if she did not protect the interests of the family in this matter, then wait and see, "destroy you at all costs" and so on. The words have been spoken out; the second type is to treat her indifferently or glaringly, but not to speak. Xie Yan really wants to ask their opinions and ideas, but they don't want to say a word to her; the third type is to mourn Those who beg, either ask for preferential treatment for their own family, or for preferential treatment for themselves, tug on their sleeves, shed tears, or ask to sit in a restaurant, the door closes, and then almost kneels.

Until now, Xie Yan understands how big the world is, and it is very complicated if there are only one hundred people, not to mention this huge family.

But also because of her current status, it is already inconvenient to go to many places - not only are there everywhere spies who may report to the aristocratic family who is looking for her, but it is inevitable that people will guess who she is going to meet with secretly to discuss some shady things.Gradually, even the servants could no longer do the work for her.Xie Yan had no choice but to arrange all the meetings at midnight, to go to a high place that ordinary people can't go to.It is not difficult to climb the tower, and it is not difficult to avoid the eyeliner. The difficult thing is to leave Fengzizhang.

Think of her hatred.

She mobilized most of her absolutely reliable friends—after all, once this matter is done, those involved must be able to guess the logic behind it. If it is unreliable, it will be bad if it is spread—based on the previous protection of inspectors, Further monitor the clans on Feng Zihuan's list to make sure they can be brought under control.Then, depending on the situation, decide what to do next.

Most of the plan has been handed over to Feng Zizhang, Cui Yi Xiehui and other court officials for discussion.It's okay to ask Xie Yan to study together again, but no one can do it for her, Feng Zizhang still let her focus on this side - otherwise it can't be done, and Feng Zihuan can't explain it.But he specifically told her not to overdo it.

Xie Yan responded, and said: "It's not that you don't know me. I can make Sun and Gu's family look ugly, how much difference can it make?" Feng Zizhang only praised her ignorantly.In fact, she also understands in her heart that there is a big difference between using a cold arrow when people are not prepared, and using strange moves when people are prepared.

A few days ago, she sent a message to the indistinguishable No. [-] beauty in the world, asking if it would be convenient for him to come to Quan's residence to repeat the old trick.The news that came out in a few days is that it’s okay to repeat the old tricks, but it seems that you can’t pretend to be a witch doctor, "You think I can pretend to be a ghost?" Xie Yan laughed out loud when he received the letter, pretending to be a ghost? "Yes, no matter what method you use, just let Quan Wei give up part of his ownership of his land, and you have to give it up willingly."

A few days later, she heard the news that the rotting corpses were dug up from all the land in the whole house, and the corpses were even fraudulent; after the fraudulent corpses were finished, the corpses were sent to the government for investigation, but they were said to be people who had been dead for a while. Why don't you go to their family's field and say that the whole house is still haunted by ghosts, saying that Quanwei is killing people and stealing people's money. Now the ghost is possessed by a rotting corpse and can't take his life. He will definitely come again in the future, and he will definitely start with a slave Starting from the body, attaching one to another counts as one, until the whole family is killed.Quan Wei was terrified, the 45-year-old was already sick.The prefect of the county asked this question at the right time, and Quan Wei agreed on the spot to hand over all the real estate in the haunted area, release a large number of slaves and servants, and immediately donated a large sum of money to the temple for disaster relief.

Along with the news, of course, there was the most beautiful letter of invitation in the world, "City Master, are you saying that the slave family is doing well? Is it brilliant? Is it powerful?" To the last sentence, and then sent someone to buy twenty boxes of Jiankang's best rouge to send.As for herself, she immediately wrote letters to several friends who were doing voluntary labor, arranging them to do this and that, and earnestly follow the practice of No. [-] Beauty in the World—either making ghosts or ghosts in people's houses, or using witch doctors and alchemists to prescribe prescriptions to make people blind. Ideas, for those who have never believed in this, they can go one step further and directly destroy your harvest for you, making you think that the land is not worth mentioning.

All means are under control, and if someone is in charge of making demons and ghosts, someone will be responsible for settling them; witch doctors and alchemists just can't believe this one and the next one, and even the people around them who recommend them are prepared; the most exciting Let’s count the harvest destruction team, from those responsible for destroying the land to those responsible for appraising that the land is hopeless, they are all from our own people: These aristocratic families probably never imagined that after experiencing this series of bad luck, the people around them are all liars .

All in all, it works.It's just that some are slow to take effect, and now she is still waiting.For example, at this moment, the person who came to report said, my master wants me to inform the city lord that the Yu family is very slow to take the bait, and for the sake of the city lord's plan, does the city lord want us to speed up our pace and take the ruthless medicine, or wait?

Xie Yan said: "Take your time, you want the effect, not the speed. It doesn't matter how long it takes to make them all willing." The man agreed, and the two exchanged other things, and the messenger left.

In fact, Xie Yan knew that it couldn't take a long time, because obviously no one could afford to wait now.But she has to wait.

When she returned to the palace, Feng Zizhang had already fallen asleep, so she changed her clothes and lay down beside Feng Zizhang.The next day, Fengzi Zhangto got up early to go to the government office to do business, but she was still sleeping in a daze.Unexpectedly, Feng Zizhang came back soon, sat by the bed, and woke her up: "Hey, Lord City Master, wake up, it's time to get up."

Xie Yan woke up from the return sleep, saw her, and lazily turned over, "Why did you come back so early? Could it be that you just went to call?"

Feng Zizhang nodded, "The first draft is put there, waiting for discussion. Cui Xiang asked me to come back and rest, so I don't need to wait there. If I don't let everyone understand, the discussion will be useless. It's just a quarrel. "

Xie Yan nodded, "Yes, the plan is so complicated, you have to look at it for a while. Maybe when you go tomorrow, there are still people who don't understand it. When you go back to discuss it, it will be a long time. If nothing else, just Why are the ratios set in each state so different? They can argue for three days." Feng Zizhang just shook his head and smiled wryly, letting Xie Yan hold her hand.

The first draft was the result of the two of them studying for two nights and discussing with Cui Yixiehui for two days.In this draft, the line of calculation is still set after the first emperor Wencheng made great rewards for ten years, and the extra land and population will be released after that. However, it implies the reward conditions. Form rewards go back.For example, in the Northern Expedition in the future, if you participate in the war as a general and make great contributions, how much land can be rewarded; if you bring private soldiers to participate in the war, how much land can be rewarded.The slaves who have been released are not allowed to go back, after all, they are already free citizens.

As for the land from these rewards, the aristocratic landlords can choose to distribute them to farmers for more cultivation.The tenants have to pay to the state and the landlord according to a certain rate in each state and county. The landlord can collect at most [-]%, the state can’t take less than [-]%, and those who can keep it for themselves can’t be less than [-]%.Those who are tenants now, no matter how the lease was stipulated in the past, must now follow the new standard. If they fail to comply, the tenants will be protected instead of the landlord. He will also be arrested for hard labor and sent to prison for crimes.

In addition to the most important fields and population, other occupied mountains, lakes, etc. are also judged according to Wencheng's ten-year standard. If there are too many, they will be released, and if there are too few - they can be less - they deserve it.This plan does not consider the quality of the released land and mountains, hoping to ensure a certain degree of fairness through this.At the same time, although the slaves were forced to be released, a part of the slaves were still retained as chore labor and farming labor for the master's house, which did not completely and completely let the family no longer have private soldiers and labor.

In addition to this plan, Feng Zizhang also made a second plan.This plan does not take the ten years of Wencheng as a time point, but based on the present, requires the imperial court to issue a maximum number of servants and servants that each household can have according to the rank of title, and all the population higher than this number will be released. You can be a free citizen granted land by the state, or you can become a tenant of a big family.However, whether slaves, tenants or free people, they had to pay money and food on a head-by-head basis.Half of the servants and maidservants shall be paid by the master's family, and one-third of the tenant shall be paid by the master's family; as for the tenant himself, the landlord shall collect at most [-]%, and the state shall not take less than [-]%.The number of slaves and servants must be reported truthfully, and those who do not report or make false reports will be executed.Those who were landlords and took shelter as slaves would immediately leave their slaves, or go to prison for their crimes, and the "redemption money" of these people who took shelter as slaves were not all paid to the family heads, but were divided [-]-[-] with the court as a punishment.The plan will specifically stipulate how much land and farm cattle those who continue to be slaves should have, and the state will make up for it free of charge.As for mountains, lakes and lakes, it is also stipulated, handed over, dissatisfied, and punished.

This plan is very extreme, Feng Zizhang intends to keep it, and when the first plan is full of quarrels, he will take out the second one, and then say that it is either one or the other, and force them while the iron is hot, so as to complete the court's acceptance of the matter.

As for Feng Zihuan, Feng Zizhang feels that this is a plan that actually accommodates the three parties, and the control over the rewards is actually held in the hands of the emperor, and the right to command and dispatch military operations is also in the hands of the emperor. My sister needs to do something It's just to cooperate, and then act in a few suitable scenes.Gently, hello, hello, everyone, this matter is over.In the short term, the benefits are still great.If you don't change randomly in the long run, it will also play a big role.

The only thing that is uncertain, Feng Zizhang thought, is whether her sister's temper will cause her to change her mind suddenly.I heard that Cui Xuanji ventured into the palace a few days ago to persuade her, knelt down in front of her sister's bedroom all night, and immediately fell ill.Then my sister didn't know if it was out of guilt, so she left Cui Xuanji in the palace to recuperate.

She can't think of a reason, but it's okay, she feels that she can't pay attention to her sister's thoughts now, it seems that the sisters suddenly become estranged in this matter-maybe it's because she has never paid attention to politics in the past twenty years ——She can only pay more attention to the courtiers.

"What are you doing..." She was lost in thought for a moment, and Xie Yan pulled her down.

"You came back so early, and I didn't go out, why don't we..."

Feng Zizhang immediately pinched her, "It's broad daylight."

"I didn't say what I want, why don't we just lie down and chat together?" Xie Yan said, Feng Zizhang gave her a look, thinking that when he didn't talk, he went out of shape?

"Ask you seriously."

"You said."

Feng Zizhang finally lay down, and Xie Yan was beside her, propping his body on his elbows, resting his head on his wrists,

"Recently, your friends, have you noticed any... unusual phenomena?"

"Anomalies? Like which one? An abnormal connection?"

"All kinds of things. I saw Gu Heng at the government office recently, and I always felt that something was wrong with him."

"Something's wrong? There's something wrong with him. He's the only one we dare not touch. Even His Majesty didn't include him in the list. I probably think he's stubborn and hopeless."

Feng Zizhang laughed, and poked Xie Yan's cheek with his finger, "Don't you think that Gu Heng is usually stubborn and cunning, but he is always in good spirits. His eyes are so bright that he always seems to know himself very well. What to do, right?"

"Well, has he lost his eyesight recently?" Feng Zizhang shook his head, "Not entirely. Speaking of which, I think his eyes have become flickering, and his complexion is not as good as before. Usually when talking to him, he Whether it is dodging or attacking, he is as fast and accurate as a knife; recently, it’s fine if he doesn’t take the initiative to talk to us, but when we look for him, he will actually show a dazed and ignorant look. It’s really strange.”

Xie Yan pondered for a while, "Why don't I send someone to watch him? If you are worried."

"Is there anyone reliable?"

Xie Yan thought about it, "Which one should you stare at. How about you also stare at his hometown."

Feng Zizhang nodded, and asked again: "Do you think he is..."

Xie Yan shook his head, "I know everything, don't guess without news, isn't the current situation annoying enough?"

Feng Zizhang always felt a little uneasy. The [-]th day of the strike was about to expire, and Cui Yi seemed to have intended to cause the emperor to end the strike early. She was not only looking forward to the result—even if she felt a little anxious—she was also looking forward to it. In court, confront these final opponents head-on.

just one time.Once, you win.
