Chapter Twenty Eight

status

When taking a bath, before Qin Jun could speak, Ji Si dismissed the extra people.

Overnight, Ji Si's status among the ladies of the court has changed, she has half the identity of the master, and there is no limit to the other palace ladies except Jin Xiu Taoxing.

Qin Jun glared at Ji Si.

Ji Si smiled, tied up her sleeves with loops, and wiped Qin Jun's back.

Qin Jun was lying on the bathtub, her hair was sticking to her face with sweat, her face was red and hot, suddenly, she turned and glanced at Ji Si, "This is a fake!"

Ji Si poured a ladle of water on Qin Jun's shoulder, "No one will know it's fake."

"Yes, yes," Qin Jun said loudly, "No one knows it's fake, so naturally everyone thinks it's true!"

Ji Si bent her lips and said no more.Qin Jun stepped on the low stool after taking a shower, and Ji Si held a wide cloth, but did not wrap Qin Jun up for a long time.

Qin Jun: "..."

Ji Si looked at her. In winter, the bathtub was steaming, and Qin Jun's naked girlish figure was in front of her eyes.Ji Si looked at it for a while, then smiled slowly, as if she was looking at a green peach that was still slightly astringent.

"Presumptuous!" Qin Jun blushed angrily and covered her hands in front of her body.

Ji Si smiled, wrapped Qin Jun up and took her off the low stool. In an instant, Qin Jun changed from looking down to looking up at her.

Ji Si looked down at her, her long eyelashes cast a shadow, she looked at Qin Jun with a faint smile in her dark eyes, put her arms around Qin Jun's waist, and wiped her with water.

Qin Jun: "I'll wipe it myself, you go get the clothes."

Ji Si: "Wipe first, don't catch the cold wind."

Wiping his back and body, until he reached the front of his body, Ji Si's finger brushed against Qin Jun's earlobe.

"I'll do it myself." Qin Jun said.

Ji Si tilted her head, looked at Qin Jun strangely, and said with a smile: "Princess, I don't do anything."

"That's not okay, you are not allowed to touch me without my order!" Qin Jun felt underestimated, with her hands clenched by her sides, her neck swollen and she looked up at Ji Si.

Ji Si looked down at Qin Jun. The strange thing was that in her body, the temperament of a superior seemed to flow naturally. When Ji Si wanted to conquer something, this temperament was especially obvious.

"Are you disobedient?" Qin Jun asked anxiously.

"No," Ji Si narrowed her eyes slightly, smiled slowly, then squatted down, and carefully wiped Qin Jun's toes with a handkerchief, "I dare not."

Qin Jun twisted her itchy feet, looked at the top of Ji Si's head, and slowly let out a breath, knowing that all she had to do was agree.

"Don't talk nonsense about what happened last night. I didn't drive you away. I'm just afraid that the story of Mei Yan will get into the palace. The concubines will see that you are not favored and make things difficult for you, so..." Qin Jun coughed, "So,It's just a stopgap."

"I understand." Ji Si smiled.

After taking a bath, Qin Jun nestled on the bed, and Ji Si dressed her one by one, and waited for Qin Jun to have breakfast before returning to her yard to freshen up.

Ji Si was toasting her half-wet long hair, and the booklet and red writing brush were spread out on the dressing table. She looked sideways, and the maid called Lady Pin outside the door, and pushed the door to bring a group of people to eat.

"Next time you don't need to prepare so much, a bowl of rice porridge and two side dishes are enough," Ji Si said.

The court lady was busy blessing herself, "No."

Ji Si only had time to eat for a stick of incense, she ate quickly and her posture was elegant, after a little grooming, she finished tidying up and got up to go out.

"Lady Pin..." The palace man stopped her as usual, and looked at Ji Si with a embarrassed expression.

Ji Si said lightly: "Recently, my aunt also ordered me not to go and serve her?"

It's not...

Last night, the news about Ji Si's bedtime has spread all over the princess mansion, and everyone knows it well, so they dare not discuss it casually.At present, the new order has not yet come down, and don't know whether to stop Ji Si.

"Serving the princess, don't be negligent." Ji Si said flatly.

Maid: "..."

Jin Xiu served Qin Jun for breakfast, a table of morning food, seven out of ten items were nutritious for women, red beans, red dates, red lotus...

Qin Jun: "..."

Pian Jin Xiu was still urging her to use more.

"How did the princess sleep last night?" Jin Xiu asked.

Qin Jun: "...good."

"Today I still want Lin Yan..."

"No more!" Qin Jun said immediately.

Jin Xiu: "No."

While talking, the palace people came to report to the princess of Jindi County to see her.

Qin Jun nodded, still ate her breakfast in a leisurely manner, and ordered Jin Xiu to go to the storeroom to get an imperial decree.

After finishing the meal, Qin Jun rinsed his mouth and drank tea, and set off to meet the princess of Jindi County.

"The courtier's wife has informed the noble concubine that she wants to stay in Capital for dozens of days longer to accompany the child."

The voice of Princess Jindi came from inside the hall, and Ji Si paused at the door, then stopped going in and waited outside.

"Ah, what should I do?" Qin Jun sat in the top seat, drinking this year's tribute tea, "I have always taken your matter to heart, and now I am sure that the princess will not leave?"

Princess Jin looked at Qin Jun hesitantly, "Princess means..."

Qin Jun beckoned, and beside Jin Xiu was holding a tray covered with a piece of bright yellow cloth, with a serious expression.

Qin Jun got up and uncovered the cloth, revealing a rolled imperial decree.

Seeing the imperial decree is like meeting the emperor. Princess Jin immediately knelt down and bowed to the imperial decree, and her expression changed at the same time.

Qin Jun ordered people to close the door of the hall, and the hall was suddenly dark, only Qin Jun, Jin Xiu, and Jin Wangfei were in a secret conversation, "This decree is a gift from His Majesty. In the name of visiting the seriously ill Prince Jin, Princess Yun broughtTake the son-in-law back to Jindi for a short stay."

Princess Jin immediately kowtowed in gratitude, and stretched out her hand to receive the order: "The minister's wife accepts..."

Jin Xiu moved the imperial decree back without any trace, making Jin Wangfei rush into the air.

Qin Jun raised her hand to signal for peace and restlessness, and said, "Don't worry, the concubine wants to take this secret decree, and I have to hand over the prince's soldiers in exchange."

Princess Jin was taken aback for a moment, "Fu Bing?"

Qin Jun nodded: "From Shangjing back to Jindi, the cavalry can travel two to three hundred miles in a day without sleep, and this trip to Jindi is more than two thousand miles. Counting the rest time on the road, the imperial envoy to suppress the bandits should have arrived at you.The city is stationed."

Princess Jin knelt on the ground, still looking at Qin Jun puzzled, "Li Shizi rescued Jindi from danger, Jindi people and ministers must be very grateful, but why should you hand over the government soldiers? This, this is unreasonable."

Qin Jun said: "The last time Li Wuduan went to suppress the bandits, he brought no more than 2,000 troops, and the 2,000 troops had less than a 40% chance of winning against the 5,000 bandits. If you add the 5,000 troops from King Jin's government, you will be more confident in annihilating the bandits in one fell swoop.what!"

Jin Wangfei moved her hind legs, "The soldiers of the palace... naturally can only look at the courtyard, how to fight the enemy, Li Shizi assumes that if there are not enough troops, he can borrow troops from the border guards and generals."

The emperor sent generals to guard the border, and the army was directly under the emperor's control.The feudal vassals seal one side of the land and can govern the local government by themselves.Although the separation of the military and the government has prevented the princes from supporting their own troops and self-respecting, they can separate one side.But it often leads to one mountain and two tigers, and the feudal princes and soldiers look at each other with disgust.

In addition, in order to reduce expenditure, the imperial court ordered the princes to pay the army, and ordered the army to guard the border and keep the people in the pass safe.This intention was originally to make the two forces depend on each other and check and balance each other.But it still can't stop the two sides from stumbling each other. Either the princes withheld the army's salary, or the army suppressed the bandits in fashion, only protecting their lives, regardless of money.deeper.

Li Wuduan went to borrow troops, killing the bandits, not Yuan soldiers, and suppressing other bandits to make other contributions, for the government affairs of King Jin, and all the people and efforts were done for things that had nothing to do with General Ji.

Borrow troops?

Qin Jun and Li Wuduan had a discussion in the study—difficult.

What about borrowing the soldiers from the Prince Jin's Mansion?This was originally in Qin Jun's plan, but he didn't think how much he could borrow. Now he is talking about it as an excuse, just to find out why Princess Jin intends to stay in Capital.

But the fish will not bite the hook without seeing the bait.Bait also costs money.

Qin Jun said: "Yuan has an alliance with Qin and Zhou, so don't use the army rashly. Otherwise, Qin and Zhou will break the agreement, and the Yuan soldiers will have an excuse to send troops. Does Jin Wangfei want to fight?"

Princess Jin's face turned red immediately: "Then, aren't those rogue bandits also pretending to be Yuan soldiers! We're just trying to punish them according to their own ways!"

"Yuan people rob us? We also go to rob Yuan people? Wangfei, this plan will not solve the root cause, and it will also increase the number of bandits. If we can rob everyone, why should we plant land?" Qin Jun laughed.

"My concubine can go back to Jindi and persuade the king of Jin to assign some soldiers to Li Wuduan. Li Wuduan will then borrow a thousand soldiers from General Ji. When the bandits are suppressed, he can use this decree to come to Beijing to pick them up." Qin Jun waved his hand., indicating Jin Xiu to show the imperial edict to Princess Jin.

Concubine Jin looked at the imperial decree in front of her, but now she hesitated, not daring to accept the decree: "My wife...is a woman, how can I persuade the prince."

Qin Jun suddenly smiled, and said, "I don't want to force it. The princess just needs to go back to Jindi immediately, and discuss with the prince. When the bandits are successfully suppressed, the little prince will be released back to Jindi."

According to the specifications of King Jun's mansion, 500 to 1,000 private soldiers can be added every year, and the emperor has no right to intervene in this private soldier.

And thousands of soldiers, if trained properly, can be equivalent to a regular army.

No wonder Li Wuduan left Beijing to suppress the bandits. He only brought 5,000 bandits with him, and he was waiting to bring the county king's private soldiers into the army.This is also a way to reduce the power of the princes!

Princess Jin thought about it, but she didn't dare to agree hastily. If she agreed, the private soldiers she managed to raise would be gone.If you don't agree, won't you expose your wolfish ambition?

"It's my child's blessing to be able to study in Taixue. The return to Jin... can also be postponed." Ke Jin Wangfei lowered her head and said, "My wife... I want to stay with my son for a few more days. Li Shizi wants to borrowFu Bing, why do you need an imperial decree, just send a letter from the minister's wife to Jindi."

Qin Jun waved his hand, and Jin Xiu re-covered the imperial decree, "It's great for the princess to think so. But why don't you go back to Jindi? Isn't it because the prince is seriously ill?"

Concubine Jin just stood up on her knees, but she almost knelt back when she heard the words, she just lowered her head and said, "Jindi sent a letter the day before yesterday, saying...that the prince has improved a lot."

Qin Jun suddenly said, "Prince Jin Heaven helps the worthy."

Princess Jin couldn't help nodding: "Yes, yes."

Qin Jun has been thinking about sending Princess Jin away.

Qin Jun: "How is the person who settled Zhong Hui's wife and children doing?"

"I have ordered people to change Zhong Hui's wife and children first, and wait for the people who go to Central Capital to find a good place to live, and then pick them up." Jin Xiu said.

Qin Jun got up and went to the study, "When will my cousin's letter arrive?"

Ji Si was practicing swords outside the study room, pouring all her internal strength into every move and style, and the sound of the cold wind being cut everywhere the soft sword touched.The figure is as graceful as a startled bird, and as graceful as a swimming dragon.

Qin Jun paused and watched Ji Si practicing sword.

Jin Xiu said: "The fast horses at the post station deliver letters, if it is not a horse with a thousand li. It will take several days to travel thousands of miles without sleep. If you use flying pigeons, it should be faster."

Qin Jun nodded and sneezed.

Ji Si withdrew her sword move and walked over quickly, Qin Jun stood in the corridor in a daze, "What?"

"Cold?" Ji Si tapped Qin Jun's face with her finger, retracted her finger when she was about to touch it, and asked coldly, "Is it cold?"

Qin Jun sighed in confusion.

Ji Si retracted the sword to her waist, and sheathed the sharp sword, which was not a scabbard at all, but wrapped around Ji Si's waist like a silver belt.

Qin Jun gave the sword to Ji Si and hadn't read it carefully yet, but suddenly became interested and wanted to touch it, "It——"

"Don't touch it." Ji Si grabbed Qin Jun's wrist.

Qin Jun said awkwardly, "Is it okay to touch the blade instead of touching the two blades?"

Ji Si then changed her grasping to fingering, pinched Qin Jun's small index finger, and gently rubbed it on the sword.

"Oh!" Qin Jun was surprised, poking back and forth at Ji Si's waist.

Ji Si laughed, "Blowing hair, breaking hair, cutting iron like mud, the princess rewarded her, and she hasn't been named yet."

"You haven't taken it yet?" Qin Jun asked, turning to look at Jin Xiu, "Does this sword have a name?"

Jin Xiu looked at the soft sword, and for some reason, she rarely showed nostalgia, "Before... this sword didn't have a name."

"Don't rush to get a name," Ji Si signaled Qin Jun to go back to the room, "Go in and warm up."

Qin Jun: "It's just right, come here and finish today's homework."

Jin Xiu looked at the two of them, and suddenly raised her finger to touch her face.

"Jin Xiu!" Qin Jun called her in the room, "Grinding."

Jin Xiu: "No."
