Concubine Shu has been in the palace for many years, and raised her third prince. She has been a saint for many years.
She came from the Shu family in Ding'an, and her brother Shu lingting was the general of guide, who was stationed in Yuzhou. She came from the Xue family in Yejing, who was one of the six pillar States since the founding of Ye. The power behind it cannot be underestimated. This is also her strength to compete with the queen for so many years.
In the early days, the third prince was still young, and the emperor anqing was still young. Although there was discord between concubine Shu and the queen, they were still able to face each other, and the fight did not come to light. More than ten years later, the third prince, who was also 15 years old, had begun to look for candidates for a princess, while emperor anqing was getting old and addicted to the way of longevity.
Seeing the position of the prince sitting more and more stable, shuguifei was worried. When Emperor anqing sent people to look for the mad Taoist, he put in such an "expert".
She originally arranged the day. Clothes seamless. The master had a small reputation among the people before. After entering the palace, he only concentrated on refining pills for Anqing emperor, and never talked about the right and wrong of the former dynasty and the latter palace. If it wasn't for the clues that Xiao Zhige's spies found by accident, they wouldn't know that the "expert" was the person of concubine Shu.
But although he knew, Xiao Zhige didn't plan to break it immediately. The spies at the bottom tried to get the elixir's prescription for alchemy. After they showed it to Hu Shifei, they were sure that the prescription had a great tonic effect, and the medicinal materials were also valuable. Even the doctors in the Tai hospital could not say anything bad.
But Xiao Zhige always remembers that Hu Shifei wrote back to him after reading Dan Fang: it's not suitable to eat more tonic.
This pill of great tonic can really make people energetic and energetic. But if you take it for a long time, your body will get used to this state. If you don't use it one day, it will be as decadent as Epiphyllum, even worse than before. And this pill is effective for one day and two days, and it is also effective for one month and two months. But if you take it every month and every year, the effect will gradually decrease. If you want the original effect again, you can only continuously strengthen the drug's power. In the end, it will only lead to deficiency. The body is like a river burst, leaking everywhere.
Either way, it's bad.
It's said that emperor Anqing is very fond of this master now, and he stays in the palace to talk about alchemy day by day. I don't think it will be too long for him to taste the evil fruit.
An Changqing pursed her lips, but she did not expect that emperor anqing would die earlier.
The last anqing emperor was in hospital two years later, and then called Xiao Zhige back to Beijing. This life has been advanced so much An Changqing looked up at Xiao Zhige and wondered if this life would change again.
After Xiao Zhige was recalled to Yejing, first the prince lost his virtue and was demoted to be a common man. Then the third prince was assassinated by refugees. In the end, Emperor anqing had only one son, Xiao Zhige, who had to be emperor before he died. But even so, there are many rumors among the people that the crown prince was framed by the Northern Warlord and the third prince was killed by the Northern Warlord Even the death of Anqing emperor was put in his charge.
Patricide, brother killing Every one of them pointed out that Xiao Zhige's throne was not clean.
An Changqing looked at him with heartache in her eyes. I don't know what Xiao Zhige thought. However, in this life, an Changqing did not want to see him again, bearing the unwarranted name. He closed his eyes and asked in a low voice: "if you go back to Yejing What is Wang Ye going to do? Do you want to fight with the prince and the third prince? "
Xiao Zhige looked at him strangely, saw his eyes were worried, and explained: "the eldest and the third can fight each other to death. What can I fight with them for?"
He turned his back and said haughtily, "it's better for us to take advantage of the competition between Snipes and mussels."
"But the prince and the third prince may not let us watch the fire from a distance." An Changqing said.
Xiao Zhige nodded and looked at him with a smile: "so if our father is seriously ill, we have to find an excuse to go back to Yejing as late as possible."
An Changqing understood his meaning, pursed his lips and laughed: "did the Lord think of a good excuse?"
"No Xiao Zhige laughed, but he was not in a hurry. For the first time, he joked: "if you can have a baby for me, we will have a ready-made excuse not to go back to Yejing."
As soon as an Changqing was in a daze, he was immediately annoyed. He took his foot to kick him in the calf and said, "the Lord is really getting more and more serious."
Especially after last night, the nonsense really came.
Xiao Zhige let him kick a foot to vent his anger. He pulled the man into his arms and hugged him with his arm around his waist, but he did not entangle with him about the topic just now. Instead, he asked the previous question: "here, I haven't told you whether it was all last night --"
before he finished, an Changqing, who guessed what he was going to say, covered his mouth in anger.
"Have fun!" An Changqing glares at him angrily and says quickly.
Xiao Zhige didn't believe it. He thought that he was afraid to tell the truth and make him unhappy, so he coaxed him. After all, he looks very lively now. He doesn't look like he can't get out of bed at all.
Although the princess was very intimate, the Northern Warlord secretly decided to let him have a good time tonight.
An Changqing didn't know what was going on in his mind. He thought that his answer had finally satisfied him, so he pushed people away and arranged other affairs in the government.Time flies when you are busy. It's evening in such a flash.
As soon as an Changqing finished washing, he went back to the house in his light Chinese clothes. He was drawn into the tent by the prepared king of Northern War. After a exclamation, they gradually only heard the sound of wishful thinking.
That night, the curtain at the head of the bed was shaking, and the candlelight in the room was trembling. Yuanyang was in deep love on her pillow until the fifth night.
……
The next day, an Changqing failed to get up.
Xiao Zhige finally regained his self-confidence and looked at him with a wrinkled face leaning against the head of the bed. He felt sorry. Ask Anfu to send porridge and feed him one by one.
An Changqing stares at him and refuses to open his mouth. He doesn't know what madness he got last night. He won't let him go anyway. Up to now, he still has aching back and legs.
"Don't like porridge? I'll ask the kitchen to stew you another cup of chicken soup? "
He was so staring, the original complacency was pressed down, Xiao Zhige inexplicably some guilty, had to coax him more carefully.
"No An Changqing took the atherosclerotic bowl, endured the discomfort, and took a slow drink. Then he said, "I'm sick all over. It's a bit crowded for two people to sleep. I'll go to the study tonight."
Xiao Zhige
No matter how slow she is, I can see that an Changqing is angry now. Xiao Zhige was full of doubts. He looked at his face carefully, but he didn't dare to ask. Only a dry "Oh".
After drinking porridge, an Changqing was really sleepy and began to sleep again.
Xiao Zhige looked around for a while. When he fell asleep, he pulled down the quilt for him to breathe. Then he told Anfu to guard outside and go out quietly. There are still many things waiting for him to deal with in the army.
So when several generals met this day, they saw that their general's face was dark and frightening.
Xie Ling has always been smart, quickly find an excuse to slip, Iron Tiger see Xie Ling slip, quickly also follow. Qi Wei took a slow step, was caught by Xiao Zhige, took to the outskirts of the ridge.
Now it's may, and all the previously planted crops have grown a lot. Because the weather is getting hot, many people in the field are carrying buckets with carrying poles to irrigate one by one.
Qi Wei shrinks his neck. Although he doesn't know what Xiao Zhige is doing here, his intuition is not good. At this time, he was silent, like a quail.
"In the cold winter of this year, the crops were sown late. When they were harvested in August, they were afraid that the harvest would be in arrears." Xiao Zhige said.
They knew about it after the war. Qi Wei didn't know how he talked about it again, so he looked at him suspiciously and waited for the following.
Sure enough, Xiao Zhige said, "it's not going to be peaceful in the second half of this year. We have to find a way to ask the people to grow more food crops for storage. Otherwise, it will be difficult in the future. "
According to an Changqing, since Suzhou, there have been successive uprisings. At that time, Yejing will surely send troops to suppress it. And Yi An Qing emperor's temperament, will have what action, he can basically guess. Now the Treasury is empty. If you want to suppress the uprising refugees, you need to send out troops. Sending out troops is a lot of money, grain and grass.
Where does the money come from? It can only be looted from the people.
If the uprising can be pacified, but not pacified, there will be no peaceful life in the next year or two. Yanzhou is his foundation, we must make preparations early.
Speaking of this, Qi Wei also worried: "what can be planted should be planted by the common people."
But Yanzhou is located in the north, the climate is cold, the land is barren and lack of water, it is difficult to grow something. The yield of one mu of land is much lower than that in the south. The people will be able to grow the land, but they will be able to feed themselves. In case of disaster or war, you have to starve. Although they are willing to change these years, they really have nothing to do with it.
"Think again." Xiao Zhige's voice sank. He took a deep look at him, turned his back and said, "when you go back, you should consult with Xie Ling, who is an experienced farmer in the city. You must come up with a way."
Qi Wei's face should be bitter.
***
May 17 is the birthday of the Empress Dowager. Emperor anqing pardoned the world and celebrated with the people.
Xiao Zhige quickly sent the plea and the prepared gift back to Yejing. He didn't return to Beijing because the war in Yanzhou had just ended.
Although I didn't see it with my own eyes, the spy came back with the news that the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet was extremely extravagant. In order to make the Empress Dowager happy, the gifts from the imperial relatives and courtiers were more valuable.
The prosperity and extravagance of Yejing can reach half of yejiangshan.
The birthday was supposed to be celebrated on the ninth day, but on the fifth day, it was interrupted by an urgent report from Suzhou. There was a peasant uprising in Kangyong county at the junction of Suzhou and Bingzhou. In just half a month, nearly ten thousand refugees were gathered to occupy the area of Surabaya to fight against the officers and soldiers.
There are signs of violence and chaos in Kangyong county.
At first, the county magistrate sent people to collect the "fortune tax". Liangzhou people just suffered from the snow disaster. Due to the court's poor rescue, many houses collapsed in the snow disaster, and many people died of freezing. It's hard to get through the winter. The surviving people will keep on guarding the food they are not willing to eat. While they are looking forward to the harvest day by day, there are officers and soldiers to levy taxes.
At this time, there was no grain in the people's homes, and they all depended on digging wild vegetables and grass roots in the mountains to live. Now I have to pay taxes, so I can't pay them.The officials who went to collect taxes had a bad temper. During the conflict, the peasants in a village were killed alive by the officers and soldiers who collected taxes. The villagers joined forces to hang the four or five officials at the entrance of the village
afterwards, these villagers were afraid of being caught and thought that there was no way to survive anyway, so they simply gathered together and rose up
such things happen in more than one village. The local magistrate didn't take it seriously and sent more than a dozen officers and men to suppress it, but he didn't want to destroy it again. When he realized the seriousness and reported it to the police, most of the villages in Kangyong county took part in the violence

So when several generals met this day, they saw that their general's face was dark and frightening. Xie Ling has always been smart, quickly find an excuse to slip, Iron Tiger see Xie Ling slip, quickly also follow. Qi Wei took a slow step, was caught by Xiao Zhige, took to the outskirts of the ridge. Now it's may, and all the previously planted crops have grown a lot. Because the weather is getting hot, many people in the field are carrying buckets with carrying poles to irrigate one by one. Qi Wei shrinks his neck. Although he doesn't know what Xiao Zhige is doing here, his intuition is not good. At this time, he was silent, like a quail. "In the cold winter of this year, the crops were sown late. When they were harvested in August, they were afraid that the harvest would be in arrears." Xiao Zhige said. They knew about it after the war. Qi Wei didn't know how he talked about it again, so he looked at him suspiciously and waited for the following. Sure enough, Xiao Zhige said, "it's not going to be peaceful in the second half of this year. We have to find a way to ask the people to grow more food crops for storage. Otherwise, it will be difficult in the future. " According to an Changqing, since Suzhou, there have been successive uprisings. At that time, Yejing will surely send troops to suppress it. And Yi An Qing emperor's temperament, will have what action, he can basically guess. Now the Treasury is empty. If you want to suppress the uprising refugees, you need to send out troops. Sending out troops is a lot of money, grain and grass. Where does the money come from? It can only be looted from the people. If the uprising can be pacified, but not pacified, there will be no peaceful life in the next year or two. Yanzhou is his foundation, we must make preparations early. Speaking of this, Qi Wei also worried: "what can be planted should be planted by the common people." But Yanzhou is located in the north, the climate is cold, the land is barren and lack of water, it is difficult to grow something. The yield of one mu of land is much lower than that in the south. The people will be able to grow the land, but they will be able to feed themselves. In case of disaster or war, you have to starve. Although they are willing to change these years, they really have nothing to do with it. "Think again." Xiao Zhige's voice sank. He took a deep look at him, turned his back and said, "when you go back, you should consult with Xie Ling, who is an experienced farmer in the city. You must come up with a way." Qi Wei's face should be bitter. ***May 17 is the birthday of the Empress Dowager. Emperor anqing pardoned the world and celebrated with the people. Xiao Zhige quickly sent the plea and the prepared gift back to Yejing. He didn't return to Beijing because the war in Yanzhou had just ended. Although I didn't see it with my own eyes, the spy came back with the news that the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet was extremely extravagant. In order to make the Empress Dowager happy, the gifts from the imperial relatives and courtiers were more valuable. The prosperity and extravagance of Yejing can reach half of yejiangshan. The birthday was supposed to be celebrated on the ninth day, but on the fifth day, it was interrupted by an urgent report from Suzhou. There was a peasant uprising in Kangyong county at the junction of Suzhou and Bingzhou. In just half a month, nearly ten thousand refugees were gathered to occupy the area of Surabaya to fight against the officers and soldiers. There are signs of violence and chaos in Kangyong county. At first, the county magistrate sent people to collect the "fortune tax". Liangzhou people just suffered from the snow disaster. Due to the court's poor rescue, many houses collapsed in the snow disaster, and many people died of freezing. It's hard to get through the winter. The surviving people will keep on guarding the food they are not willing to eat. While they are looking forward to the harvest day by day, there are officers and soldiers to levy taxes. At this time, there was no grain in the people's homes, and they all depended on digging wild vegetables and grass roots in the mountains to live. Now I have to pay taxes, so I can't pay them.The officials who went to collect taxes had a bad temper. During the conflict, the peasants in a village were killed alive by the officers and soldiers who collected taxes. The villagers joined forces to hang the four or five officials at the entrance of the village afterwards, these villagers were afraid of being caught and thought that there was no way to survive anyway, so they simply gathered together and rose up such things happen in more than one village. The local magistrate didn't take it seriously and sent more than a dozen officers and men to suppress it, but he didn't want to destroy it again. When he realized the seriousness and reported it to the police, most of the villages in Kangyong county took part in the violence
