The imperial concubine Shu Guifei has been in the palace for many years and has raised three princes.
She came from Dingan Shu, her own brother Shu Lingting returned to General de, sitting in Yuzhou; his home was Xue, who was arrogant and was one of the six pillars at the beginning of the founding of the people's Republic of China. The power behind it is something to be reckoned with. This is also the strength that she has been able to compete with the queen for so many years.
In the early days, the third prince was still young, and Emperor Anqing was still young. Although there was discord between the imperial concubine Shu Guifei and the empress, the face was passable, and the struggle was not put on the surface. More than a decade later, the third prince, who is also 15 years old, has begun to look for a princess, while Emperor Anqing is getting old and addicted to the way of life.
Seeing that the prince sat in a more secure position, Shu Guifei was worried. When Emperor Anqing sent his men to look for crazy people, he planted such a "expert".
She had arranged it flawlessly. The superior man did have a small reputation among the people before. after entering the palace, he only devoted himself to alchemy for the Anqing emperor, and never put his beak on the right and wrong of the former palace and the harem. Had it not been for the clues accidentally found by Xiao Zhige's spies, he would not have known that the "expert" was Shu Guifei's.
However, although he knew it, Xiao Zhige did not intend to pierce it immediately. The spies below tried to find a way to get the Dan prescription of alchemy, and after showing it to Hu Shifei, he made sure that the Dan prescription did have a great tonifying effect, and the medicinal materials were precious, and even the doctors in the Taiyuan Hospital could not say anything bad.
But Xiao Zhige always remembers that Hu Shifei wrote back to him after reading pill recipe: a tonic should not be eaten more.
This tonifying elixir can really make people feel energetic and energetic. However, if you take it for a long time, the body is used to this state, and then if you don't use it for a day, you will be as decadent as an epiphyllum, even worse than before. Moreover, this elixir is effective for one or two days, and it is also effective for one or two months. However, if you eat month after month and year after year, the efficacy will gradually fade, and if you want the original effect, you can only continuously strengthen the power of the medicine, and this will only lead to deficiency and non-replenishment in the end. The body is like a dike-breaking river, leaking water everywhere.
Either way, it is a bad result.
I heard that Emperor Anqing now believes in this master very much and stays in the palace to talk about alche every day. think it will not be too long for him to taste the evil consequences.
An Changqing pursed her lips and did not expect that Emperor Anqing would die earlier.
The last Anqing Emperor lingered on his sickbed two years later, and then urgently called Xiao Zhige back to Beijing. This life is so much ahead of schedule. An Changqing looked up at Xiao Zhige and wondered if it would change again in this life.
After Xiao Zhige was recalled to Beijing, first the prince was discarded and demoted as a common man, and then the three princes were assassinated by refugees. At last, only Xiao Zhige was left as the son of Anqing Emperor, who had to make him emperor before he died. But even so, there are many rumors among the people that the prince was framed and immoral by the king of the Northern War, and that the third prince was also killed by the king of the Northern War. Even the death of Emperor Anqing was included in his crime.
Kill a father, kill a brother. Pile by pile, all 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 in the previous life. But in this life, an Changqing did not want to see him bear the false name. He gathered his eyes and asked in a low voice, "if you go back to Beijing.". What is your Majesty going to do? Do you want to compete with the prince and the third prince? "
Xiao Zhige looked at him strangely, saw that his eyes were worried, and explained, "the eldest and the third can fight each other to death. What do I argue with them?"
He turned his hand behind his back and said proudly, "if snipe and clam compete with each other, wouldn't it be better for us to reap profits?"
"but the prince and the third prince may not let us watch the fire from other sides." An Changqing said.
Xiao Zhige nodded and looked at him with a smile: "so in case my father is seriously ill, we have to find an excuse to return to Beijing as late as possible."
An Changqing understood what he meant and smiled, "has your Majesty come up with an excuse yet?"
"No." Xiao Zhige smiled, but there was no hurry, and for the first time, he made a joke: "if you could give me a baby, we would have a ready-made excuse not to go back to Beijing."
As soon as an Changqing froze, he was immediately annoyed. He kicked his calf with his foot and said angrily, "Wang Ye is becoming more and more indecent."
Especially after last night, really opened mouth.
Xiao Zhige gave him a kick and took it out of his breath, pulled the person into his arms and hugged him, with his arms around his waist, but did not quarrel with him about the topic, but asked the previous question: "well, you haven't told me yet." did you do it all last night
Before he had finished speaking, an Changqing, who guessed what he was going to say, covered her mouth with anger.
"have a good time!" An Changqing glared at him and said quickly.
Xiao Zhige did not believe it, feeling that he was afraid of telling the truth to make him unhappy, so he coaxed him. After all, he looks so lively now that he doesn't look like he can't get out of bed at all.
Although the princess was very sweet, the king of the Northern War secretly decided to let him have a good time tonight.
An Changqing had no idea what was going on in his mind, but thought that his answer had finally satisfied him, so he pushed people away to arrange other affairs in the house.
Time passed quickly when was busy, so it was night in the blink of an eye.
As soon as an Changqing finished washing and washing, he went back to the house in a light Chinese coat, when he was dragged into the tent by the well-prepared king of the Northern War. After a cry of surprise, gradually heard only the sound of Suo.
That night, the curtain on the head of the bed shook and the candlelight trembled in the room. The love on the mandarin duck pillow was strong until five o'clock.
……
The next day, an Changqing failed to get up.
Xiao Zhige finally regained his self-confidence and looked at him wrinkling his face against the head of the bed with some heartache and remorse. Ask Anfu to bring vegetable porridge and feed him one bite at a time.
An Changqing glared at him and refused to open his mouth. She didn't know what crazy he had last night, and she wouldn't let him go anyway. Up to now, he still has a sore waist and legs.
"you don't like porridge? Shall I ask the kitchen to stew you another cup of chicken soup? "
By his stare, the original wish realized and satisfied was pressed down, Xiao Zhige inexplicably a little guilty, had to be more careful to coax him.
"No." An Changqing took the porridge bowl and took a slow sip of it with discomfort. "I feel sick all over, and the two of them are a little crowded when they fall asleep, so let's go to the study and sleep tonight," an Changqing said. "
Xiao Zhige: "…"
Even on Oblivious, you can see that an Changqing is angry at this moment. Xiao Zhige was full of doubts and looked at his face carefully, but he did not dare to ask. Just a dry "Oh".
After eating the porridge, an Changqing was so sleepy that he covered himself with a quilt and began to sleep again.
Xiao Zhige looked on the sidelines for a while, and when he fell asleep and pulled down the quilt for him to get some air, he told Anfu to stay outside and go out gently-there were still many things for him to deal with in the army.
So when several generals met that day, they saw their general's face dark and frightening.
Xie Ling was always shrewd and quickly found an excuse to run away. Tiehu saw that Xie Ling slipped away and hurriedly followed. Qi Wei was one step behind and was caught by Xiao Zhige and took him to the ridges of the fields on the outskirts of the city.
It is now May, and the previously planted food crops have grown much taller. As the weather is getting hot, many people in the fields are carrying buckets for irrigation with carrying poles.
Qi Wei shrank his neck. Although he didn't know what Xiao Zhige brought him here to do, his intuition was not good. He shivered like a quail.
"in the cold winter this year, the crops were sown late. If we harvest in August, I'm afraid we'll lose the harvest." Xiao Zhige Road.
They knew about it after the war was over, and Qi Wei did not know how he talked about it again, so he looked at him questioningly and waited for the following.
Sure enough, Xiao Zhige added: "it is not expected to be peaceful in the second half of this year." We have to find a way to ask the people to plant more food crops for storage. Otherwise, I'm afraid it will be hard in the future. "
According to an Changqing, starting from Suzhou, uprisings began one after another. At that time, Beijing will certainly send troops to suppress it. And according to the temperament of Emperor Anqing, he can basically guess what movements there will be. Now that the treasury is empty, if you want to suppress the uprising and refugees, send troops, which is a large sum of money and food, all money.
Where does the money come from? It can only be plundered from the common people.
If the uprising is easy and not peaceful, there will be no peace in the next year or two. Yanzhou is his foundation and must be prepared in advance.
Speaking of this, Qi Wei was also worried: "if you can plant, you will find a way to get the people to plant it."
But Yanzhou is located in the north, the climate is cold, the land is barren and lack of water, so it is difficult to grow something. The yield of one mu of land is much lower than that in the south, and the people will be able to farm the land, but they will be able to have enough to eat. In the event of a disaster or war, you have to go hungry. Although they are willing to change these years, they really have nothing to do with it.
"think of something else." Xiao Zhige's voice sank, took a deep look at him, turned his back and said, "when you go back, you must come up with a way to discuss with Xie Ling's experienced old farmers in the city."
Qi Wei's bitter face should be.
On May 17th, the Empress Dowager's birthday. Emperor Anqing pardoned the world and celebrated with the people.
Xiao Zhige sent the plea and the previously prepared gift back to Beijing quickly, and on the grounds that the war in Yanzhou had just stopped, he pleaded guilty that he did not return to Beijing.
Although he did not see it with his own eyes, the news sent back by the scout said that the birthday banquet of the Empress Dowager was extremely extravagant, and for the joy of the Empress Dowager, the gifts sent by the royal relatives and courtiers were more valuable than the other.
The prosperity and extravagance of Beijing can reach half of the country.
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 an uprising by farmers in Kangyong County, on the border between Suzhou and Binzhou, but in just half a month, nearly 10,000 refugees were gathered to occupy the Surabaya area to compete with the officers and soldiers.
The riot in Kangyong County has been a sign for a long time.
At first, the county magistrate sent someone to collect the "fortune tax". The people of Liangzhou have just been hit by a snowstorm. Due to the ineffective rescue of the imperial court, many houses collapsed in the snowstorm, and many people froze to death. It is not easy to get through the winter, the surviving people will stick to the grain they are not willing to eat, and when they are looking forward to the harvest every day, officers and soldiers will come to levy taxes.
At this time, people no longer have half of the grain stored in their homes, and they all make a living by digging wild vegetables and grass roots into the mountains. Now we have to pay tax again, so naturally we cannot pay it.
The officials who went to collect taxes had a bad temper, and during the conflict, a farmer in a village was beaten to death by taxing officers and soldiers. This made people angry, and the villagers joined forces to hang four or five officials from the trees at the entrance of the village.
Afterwards, these villagers were afraid of being caught, thinking that there was no way to live anyway, so they simply gathered together and rebelled.
This is not the only village where such things happen. The local county magistrate originally did not take it seriously and sent more than a dozen officers and soldiers to suppress it, but did not want to wipe out the whole army again. When he realized the seriousness and reported it, more than half of the villages in Kangyong County took part in the riot.
The author has something to say: the bed is obviously so big that it is not crowded at all.
Here: squeeze as I say!
Countenance:. Oh (quietly shrunk the mouth
