Qi Wei and others had business to discuss with Xiao Zhige. When they heard that he had come back, they came to the general's house.
At this time, it is rare to see him with a smile, Qi Wei can't help but reach out and shake in front of him: "general?"
Xiao Zhige recovered, subconsciously gathered a smile, Su Rong looked at him: "Why are you here? What's up? "
When Qi Wei saw him like this, he coughed and said tentatively, "the general is so happy, but what's the matter?"
If there is a happy event, it's better to say let's have fun together. After all, I've never seen Xiao Zhige before. He's so red that he's very happy.
With a light glance at him, Xiao Zhige knew what was going on in his heart without much thought. But today he is in a good mood, and he has a lot of temper towards his subordinates. He looks at him pitifully and answers his doubts: "it's a happy event, but you haven't got married, and you don't understand what you said."
Qi Wei:
Vice general Qi was very dissatisfied. How could this happy event be divided into marriage or not? Don't you deserve to have fun with the general?
He was about to argue with the general again, but Xie Ling gave him an elbow. Qi Wei's words were interrupted, and his face wrinkled with pain. He glared at Xie Ling fiercely.
See Xie Ling to him do mouth shape way: "shut up, say a few words."
“……”
Qi vice general wronged Baba shut up, think this Yanzhou City, who can bully him, do not take him seriously!
Heart to Xie Ling remember a pen, in the end did not chase to ask, changed the topic, and said: "today how did not see the princess?"
This question was asked about the heart of the Northern Warlord. On the one hand, he wanted to make all the subordinates know about the happy event last night. On the other hand, he thought that it was the affair between him and Lo Lo. It was not beautiful to know more people.
Therefore, listening to Qi Wei's question, he replied with great reserve: "I went to bed late last night, I was tired, and I still had a rest in the room."
Qi Wei, a child chicken who didn't get married, couldn't think of that place. He only thought that he meant that Liangzhou was a long way away. He was tired of driving, so he nodded in agreement: "Liangzhou is a long way away. It's really tiring to rush back."
Xiao Zhige
His face turned black. He wanted to say something more. Suddenly, not far away, an Changqing was coming towards them.
An Changqing got up late today. When he woke up, he always felt that the smell of last night was still in the room. When he stayed, he felt hot and flushed, so he wanted to come to the yard to breathe, and then he would go back when the room was ventilated.
But unexpectedly, Xiao Zhige and Qi Wei and others are in the hospital. He pauses for a moment. Seeing that Xiao Zhige's eyes come over, he should not talk about something important, so he continues to come over.
Because at home, he only casually wore a light dress, his hair was not tied, and only the silk ribbon was tied behind him, which made him look more and more handsome, like a fresh and tender green seedling in spring.
Xiao Zhige met him anxiously. Qi Wei looked behind him and whispered to Xie Ling: "this is a trip to Liangzhou. How can I feel that the princess is more beautiful?"
Look at the white skin. It's like the white jade. He looked at the two people talking and envied the general's good fortune more and more.
He also wants to marry his daughter-in-law QAQ.
At the other end, Xiao Zhige twisted his eyebrows and looked anxiously at an Changqing: "how did you come out? Is there anything wrong? "
"It's stuffy in the room. I come out to breathe. There's nothing uncomfortable about it." An Changqing shook her head.
Last night, Xiao Zhige was very gentle. Although he didn't get used to it at first, he got interesting later. Moreover, he also had daily maintenance practice according to the prescription. They cooperated with each other tacitly, and they were not injured. Now I have another night off. Besides the strange feeling of acid rising, there is no discomfort.
Xiao Zhige didn't know what he was thinking. Seeing him shaking his head, his face became uncomfortable.
Previously, when he was in Yejing, there were many stories about him and an Changqing. He was curious and looked for two. That's not what it says in the script
It is said that a man with great Kung Fu can make people stay out of bed for three days.
But now an Changqing looks as if nothing has happened. The king of Northern War has a bad feeling in his heart, and his face is a little strange. He looks at an Changqing several times and wants to say nothing.
An Changqing noticed his eyes and looked at him suspiciously: "what's the matter?"
There is no man who doesn't care about this. Xiao Zhige chokes and chokes and looks at Qi Wei and others. He should not be able to hear them from a distance, so he lowers his voice and asks in an Changqing's ear: "last night Didn't you enjoy yourself? "
“…………”
It never occurred to him that Xiao Zhige would say such nonsense in front of outsiders. His face turned red and he glared at him angrily. If it wasn't for outsiders, he was so angry that he wanted to kick him.
"In the blue sky, what nonsense does the LORD say?"
Then he glared at him and walked away.
Xiao Zhige couldn't figure out where he was, and he didn't know whether he was having a good time or not. But an Changqing was obviously unhappy, and he couldn't catch up with him any more. He coughed like a cover up and went back to the pavilion.Qi Wei and others looked at the general's excitement and looked at each other. They were all in their hearts. It was in front of the princess that the general was so good tempered. If other people dare to shake their faces, they will not even bother to have a look.
Xiao Zhige went back to the pavilion and sat down. The smile on his face was gone. He glanced at them and said calmly, "come on, what's the matter with me?"
Although Qi Wei was a fool occasionally, he still looked at his face at the crucial moment. Seeing that he didn't smile, he didn't dare to stroke the tiger's whiskers any more. He said honestly, "if Taifu Temple sends an official document, it's necessary to levy a" fortune tax. ". Build 99 pagodas to pray for Daye. In addition, the States will levy more than 5000 soldiers. "
After the official document was sent, Qi Wei and others were angry and helpless, and Xiao Zhige was not in Yanzhou, so he had to wait for him to come back to discuss.
Qi Wei has a straight temper, and his words inevitably lead to a complaint: "before there is a severe winter, after there is war, the people have not come to recuperate, and they have to increase taxes and corvee, your majesty is really, really..."
He had reason to say what he shouldn't have said.
"And right now, we can't pay that much tax." Xie Ling was more stable than him. He was in charge of the city's chores and knew more about the situation.
"In the severe winter of last year, the people didn't save much rice. Some people even ate wheat seeds. Coupled with the late start of spring, and delay the sowing time, this year's field is bound to yield. If we have to raise taxes, I'm afraid the people will have a worse life. "
Daye taxation has always been handed over to the State Treasury after local taxation. Now the National Treasury is empty, and Emperor anqing wants to levy more taxes. A document comes down, but it is the local people and the local people who suffer.
Local governments can not pay money and food, they can only exploit and oppress the people layer by layer. What is the tax? It is clearly scraping the flesh and blood of the people!
Yanzhou because of Xiao Zhige ahead of schedule, the snow disaster is still ready. In addition, an Changqing later sent food and grass, barely able to live. But I heard that in Suzhou, Bingzhou, Qizhou and other places in the north, many people suffered from the disaster and died of freezing without preparation. Now it's not easy to stay until spring, and the people have not yet had time to recover from the snow disaster, but they have to deal with more stringent taxes and corvee.
If emperor anqing didn't make an order to appease the disaster relief, he just wanted to raise taxes at this juncture. He just regarded the common people like weeds and forced them to die.
Although Xiao Zhige had heard about it from an Changqing for a long time, he still felt incredible when he heard about it.
In his early years, Emperor anqing was not as ridiculous as he is now. Although he loved to enjoy himself, he still had some scruples. Since he invited several "immortal masters" into the palace and began to pursue the way of longevity, he became more and more unscrupulous.
Maybe it's because I think I'm going to be immortal sooner or later, so I don't care about this little mortal world.
Xiao Zhige dropped his eyes and pondered for a moment, then said in a cold voice: "first, if Taifu Temple sends someone to urge You just cry for poverty and ask them what they owe you. " Taifu temple only spits out half of the grain and grass that was greedy for ink.
When Qi Wei heard this, he immediately opened his mind, patted his chest and said, "let me do this job, I will cry!"
Xie Ling thought more: "but the tax can't be delayed much longer..." Sooner or later, it will have to be handed in.
Xiao Zhige did not tell him too much, only said: "no harm, first drag."
After making a plan, they left. Xiao Zhige stood in the pavilion for a moment before turning back to the main room.
In the room, an Changqing had already washed, changed her clothes and tied her long hair. Seeing that he came back with a calm face, he thought that Qi Wei and Xie Ling had come to the door early in the morning and guessed that something must have happened, so he looked at him anxiously.
Xiao Zhige sat down beside him, sighed and said to him, "well, the dream I had last time has come true."
When he first came to Yanzhou, an Changqing told him all he knew in his previous life under the guise of dreams. Although the "longevity tower" praying for the Empress Dowager has become the "pagoda" praying for Daye, the consequences are the same.
An Changqing looked worried: "in this way Something's going to happen in Suzhou. "
The turmoil of the last century began in Suzhou. The general of Suzhou was Shen Tu Xu, the parent-child of the general of Zhu state. Shen Tu Bo has always been loyal to his majesty. They can't even remind him.
But Xiao Zhige shook his head and said in a deep voice, "don't tell them. At this time The more chaotic the better. "
Looking at an Changqing, he thought of something and said in a low voice, "maybe soon, we will be recalled to Yejing."
"It's your majesty..." An Changqing's eyes widened slightly.
Xiao Zhige held his lips and shook his head.
An Changqing looked at him and recalled what he had said to him on the wall.
He said Emperor Anqing's life will not be long.
Perhaps inspired by the "mad Taoist", Emperor anqing sent a lot of people to look for the trace of the mad Taoist. But the mad Taoist didn't find it. Instead, he asked him to find another master.
After entering the palace, the master presented a bottle of "Huanchun pill" to make people return to their youth. Emperor anqing tried the elixir and watched with his own eyes an old man in his twilight years become radiant and energetic. Although it was not as amazing as his rejuvenation, it was enough to arouse emperor Anqing's heart.Now, Emperor anqing has been taking this pill for two or three months.
According to the information Xiao Zhige received, Emperor anqing did have the aura of returning to his prime. He was not only energetic when he went to the imperial court, but also diligent when he went to the harem.
Emperor anqing only thought that the master's way was profound and could prolong his life. However, Xiao Zhige's spies in Yejing unexpectedly found a clue that the Taoist master had a lot to do with Princess Shu.

Xiao Zhige dropped his eyes and pondered for a moment, then said in a cold voice: "first, if Taifu Temple sends someone to urge You just cry for poverty and ask them what they owe you. " Taifu temple only spits out half of the grain and grass that was greedy for ink. When Qi Wei heard this, he immediately opened his mind, patted his chest and said, "let me do this job, I will cry!" Xie Ling thought more: "but the tax can't be delayed much longer..." Sooner or later, it will have to be handed in. Xiao Zhige did not tell him too much, only said: "no harm, first drag." After making a plan, they left. Xiao Zhige stood in the pavilion for a moment before turning back to the main room. In the room, an Changqing had already washed, changed her clothes and tied her long hair. Seeing that he came back with a calm face, he thought that Qi Wei and Xie Ling had come to the door early in the morning and guessed that something must have happened, so he looked at him anxiously. Xiao Zhige sat down beside him, sighed and said to him, "well, the dream I had last time has come true." When he first came to Yanzhou, an Changqing told him all he knew in his previous life under the guise of dreams. Although the "longevity tower" praying for the Empress Dowager has become the "pagoda" praying for Daye, the consequences are the same. An Changqing looked worried: "in this way Something's going to happen in Suzhou. " The turmoil of the last century began in Suzhou. The general of Suzhou was Shen Tu Xu, the parent-child of the general of Zhu state. Shen Tu Bo has always been loyal to his majesty. They can't even remind him. But Xiao Zhige shook his head and said in a deep voice, "don't tell them. At this time The more chaotic the better. " Looking at an Changqing, he thought of something and said in a low voice, "maybe soon, we will be recalled to Yejing." "It's your majesty..." An Changqing's eyes widened slightly. Xiao Zhige held his lips and shook his head. An Changqing looked at him and recalled what he had said to him on the wall. He said Emperor Anqing's life will not be long. Perhaps inspired by the "mad Taoist", Emperor anqing sent a lot of people to look for the trace of the mad Taoist. But the mad Taoist didn't find it. Instead, he asked him to find another master. After entering the palace, the master presented a bottle of "Huanchun pill" to make people return to their youth. Emperor anqing tried the elixir and watched with his own eyes an old man in his twilight years become radiant and energetic. Although it was not as amazing as his rejuvenation, it was enough to arouse emperor Anqing's heart.Now, Emperor anqing has been taking this pill for two or three months. According to the information Xiao Zhige received, Emperor anqing did have the aura of returning to his prime. He was not only energetic when he went to the imperial court, but also diligent when he went to the harem. Emperor anqing only thought that the master's way was profound and could prolong his life. However, Xiao Zhige's spies in Yejing unexpectedly found a clue that the Taoist master had a lot to do with Princess Shu.
