Chapter Thirty-Two

Jiang Prefecture

In February, Qin Jun was still bored in the study, practicing calligraphy and reading. She liked to read ancient history miscellaneous books, and someone made a bunch of them back to pass the boudoir leisure. She curled up on the low couch by the burning stove and read every day.

In the surrounding area, there was only the sound of burning coals, and there were a pile of Four Books and Five Classics, Poems and Fu, Sun Wu's Art of War, and Organ Ghost Valley on the nearby chair, which were prepared for Ji Si.

Qin Jun frowned, turned over a page, and saw the bitterness and hatred. On the cover of the book was written the word Mo Jing.

For some reason, the idle books that Qin Jun used to relieve boredom fell into Ji Si's hands.

Jin Xiu came in to change the charcoal fire.Ji Si put down the miscellaneous books in her hands, and stood up calmly: "Practice the sword."

Qin Jun nodded, "I'll go and have a look."

"Princess, it's better not to see the wind." Jin Xiu said.

Qin Jun watched Ji Si go to the courtyard to make gestures with Jin Xiu. The princess mansion is quite big, but it is always in the palace, and it is really hard to see how it is to practice martial arts like this.

I heard that the matter of suppressing the bandits was almost done, and it took almost a month and a half to plan the journey back and forth. Li Wuduan also dug out the map from the Yuan bandit den, the layout of the Qin and Zhou border defenses, and the three cities of Rumuchi.They figured it out.

In this way, the evidence of the Yuan soldiers pretending to be bandits is conclusive, and the affairs were naturally transferred to the General Ji who was stationed on the border.

When the stolen map was discovered, Jindi naturally stepped up patrolling, and the government and the public were nervous, fearing that the scene of Yuan soldiers breaking through Hengshan six years ago would happen again.

Hengshan is a ridge leading to the hinterland of Qin and Zhou Dynasties, connecting Jindi, straight ahead is Sainan and Saibei, after Yongan is Jiangnan, and finally Central Capital, separated by a panic river to the north is Capital.

The south is rich in water and soil, and the people's livelihood is rich, but it is not safe enough. There are too many princes and princes entrenched in the territory within the territory, and there are tigers and wolves around Hengshan. Xijiang, Yuanren, and Rongdi, except for Xijiang and the alliance between Qin and Zhou,It's not easy to provoke, Shangjing has been at ease for too long with its back on Junshan.

Qin Jun listened quietly, and accompanied Concubine Ji to do things, "It's a coincidence that Princess Jin mentioned you yesterday, and I said that you are sick and not easy to meet people..."

Qin Jun's gaze paused, and she held the embroidery frame and asked, "Princess Jin wants to say goodbye?"

Concubine Ji nodded, "I think I'm going to leave. I heard that the old King Jin's illness is getting worse. This time, the bandits were suppressed and the map was found. His Majesty still wants to ask him about the crime of ignorance. It's a pity...it's really sick..It was punished, and the hearts of the southern princes were frightened."

"If you don't punish, how can you convince people?" Qin Jun said.

Concubine Ji said in a low voice: "Now Jindi's government affairs are managed by the eldest son of the concubine next to King Jin, so the punishment will naturally be fined, but the imperial decree is still on the way."

At night, Qin Jun returned to the Princess Mansion and received a letter from Li Wuduan.

Li Wuduan's investigation has already begun to take shape, and a letter came, saying that Jin Wang was ill, and he was still ill for more than half a year. It was not until Jin Wangfei Capital that it was reported to Capital.

At the moment, the mansion is in a state of arrogance for winning titles.The houses are harmonious on the surface, but in fact they are fighting openly and secretly. He went to visit King Jin and came to meet the retainers of a concubine.The retainer dragged Li Wuduan to talk about everything, and after two meals, Li Wuduan did some good, and this person shook off the affairs of the palace.

Dao's attack on the noble, the clan's position wavered.Apart from King Jin, Princess Jin is the only one who can speak on this matter.When came to Capital, wanted to take back son-in-law, and wanted to take refuge.

Everyone is waiting for King Jin to die.The retainer sighed, shook his head and lamented the situation of King Jin.

In addition, Li Wuduan also wrote some trivial things about leading troops in Jindi in the letter, saying that the arrogance of Jindi staff and scholar-bureaucrats made him suffer a lot.

In the end, wrote: It’s time to suppress the bandits. When brother comes back, will take you back to Jiang Prefecture!

After Qin Jun read it, she pursed her lips and raised her pen to write back: From what saw in brother's letter, the King of Jin may have been ostracized.In Fandi, it is not uncommon for the princes to be emptied by scholar-officials, and it is not uncommon for scholar-bureaucrats to be controlled by retainers and staff.

I guess, there must be a reason for King Jin's illness to be concealed for so long. Princess Jin probably came to Beijing not to take refuge, but to report a letter.Making everyone aware of King Jin's illness is the only way to save the prince's life, so that Capital has the opportunity to react and not let the title be left behind.This is one of them.

Second, if King Jin hadn't been ostracized, he already knew that the Jindi bandits had a deep relationship with Yuan soldiers?I'm afraid that a king of Jin pretends to be sick, a concubine goes to Beijing, flees far away, and pushes out a concubine as a scapegoat.It's just that this guess is shocking, and my sister doesn't want to think about it.Brother must not get too involved with Jin Wang, only investigate secretly, be careful in words and deeds!

After writing the letter, Qin Jun sighed, ordered Xiaotao to find someone to deliver the letter, and took Ji Si to find Qin Bian.

Outside the imperial study room, Qin Jun and Ji Si, together with dozens of maids from the Princess Mansion, kneeled in a row outside the imperial study room, "My son, come to plead guilty to the emperor!"

A few days later, news spread in the palace that Qin Jun was leaving Beijing to go to Jiang Prefecture.

Rumors spread to the officials in the palace and among the people that Princess Dao asked to be punished and sent to Jiang Prefecture.But no one knows that Jiang Prefecture is poor. Ordinary people can’t even afford salt. How can it compare with the life of Capital?

For a while, the people of Capital talked about it.

"I'm about to leave. It's said that the princess knew about her adoptive daughter and that Capital knew all about it. Seeing the rumors bubbling up, she still insisted on going to Jiang Prefecture because she was sick."

"Princess righteousness! To be able to do such a thing for a woman in the dust, really makes you feel ashamed!"

"Let's not talk about it, the sixth princess has been on a royal chariot, and she was worshiped by the people during the Yuan Day Festival. The Tian family's majesty, this kind of bearing, ordinary people can't match it even if they flatter them!"

"The Son of Heaven loves the people! It's also an upright atmosphere!"

There are mixed opinions in the public opinion, and there are also people who think in a crooked way.

"Hey, let me tell you, is that prostitute so beautiful? Princess Ling is willing to go to Jiang Prefecture, but she can't let it go?"

"Beautiful! In the plum garden, Sun Taifu's daughter mistook this prostitute and invited her to the high seat of the banquet herself!"

"Tsk tsk tsk! In a few days, Capital's book will probably have to be refurbished again!"

Shufeng Hall was quiet, Xiao Taozi's eyes were swollen from crying, Jin Xiu said little and showed no expression, and she didn't like to talk to Qin Jun in the past two days.

Qin Bian was even more furious, never expecting to be swayed by Qin Jun.

That day Qin Bian was going to punish Ji Si, but she stopped him, and he was also stopped when he wanted to send him out of the palace.

Qin Bian is a slave to his daughter, and it is absolutely impossible for Qin Jun to suffer hardships in Jiang Prefecture. Although Jin Kou Yuyan and Li Wuduan have a verbal agreement, they are still thinking of perfunctory words. They are planning to delay for a few months and a year.But, who knew that it would take two years for Qin Jun to leave?

That day the Imperial Study Room was almost overturned, and Concubine Ji and the concubines in the harem came to persuade them every day, and let everyone wear their mouths, Qin Jun was still determined to admit his mistake and be punished, and he had to go to Jiang Prefecture.

For several days, Li Wuduan's army hadn't returned to the capital, and Qin Jun had already packed up his things and was about to leave.The words have been spoken, even if Qin Bian is so angry that he vomits blood, he still wants to go.

Concubine Jin is probably just an ant on the frying pan right now, the gate of the Princess Mansion can stop her for three days or five days, but not for a lifetime.If Jin Wangfei is determined to get her son back, Qin Jun will have to run away and find a place to hide, and immediately reveal the false transmission of the imperial decree, which is troublesome.

Counting again, the assassin flew back to Xi Jiang, if he didn't keep his mouth shut and leaked Jin Xiu's robbing of the picture scroll, then the second wave of people who came to look for Ji Si would have arrived, and it would be a matter of time before they found him.

As night fell, Qin Jun lit the lamp in the front hall and waited for Qin Kuang. Before leaving, he wanted to explain a few words.

Qin Kuang entered the palace through corridors and eaves. What he saw along the way felt that there were not as many maids in the Princess Mansion as before. After being asked, he found out that Qin Jun released all the older maids, and those who could not be released were also in the palaces.Arranged elsewhere.

With fewer people, no matter how luxurious the huge palace is, there will be something missing. How can the Princess Mansion be so cold.

Seeing that Qin Jun didn't know when he would stop wearing that complicated and cumbersome hair accessories, and he didn't like to wear that kind of endlessly layered and complicated dresses.She seems to have become a lot more chic and unrestrained, and also a lot bolder.

Before he knew it, Qin Kuang thought back and felt that he would soon no longer recognize the younger sister in front of him.

Qin Kuang came here after drinking, and Qin Jun could see how drunk he was not close to him.

Qin Jun: "Fourth brother."

Qin Kuang drank a cup of strong tea and looked at Qin Jun in a daze: "I'm leaving."

Qin Jun nodded: "Go to Jiang Prefecture to recuperate."

"How to recuperate in a poor place, it's better to go to Jiangnan. I heard that the life there is as comfortable as a fairy." Qin Kuang murmured.

Qin Jun smiled without saying a word, and turned to order someone to make a bowl of hangover soup.

Qin Kuang: "Xiao Liu."

"It's hard, but maybe I can take care of my body better." Qin Jun said.

When the hangover soup was served, Qin Kuang said, "Thank you, sister."

Qin Jun nodded, put her hands in her hands, and covered her palms against Mrs. Tang for a while, really unable to brew any sorrow for parting: "I will come back after a year or two, and I can still write letters."

Qin Kuang smiled, his face still red with wine, "You've grown up, my brother used to say you were too self-conscious, but now that you keep coming out one after another, my brother is ashamed of himself."

Qin Jun pursed her lips, "...my sister is praising me by treating me like my brother."

"Perhaps I taught you badly, that's why I let you learn how to raise an outer room and bring people into the palace." Qin Kuang blamed himself and repented, thinking that he shouldn't have taken Qin Jun to see the world and go to somethingIt was the banquet that gave her a glimpse of the joys of men and women.

Qin Jun tugged at the hem of her skirt, "Before leaving, my sister wanted to persuade my brother to stop playing around."

Qin Kuang smiled wryly, and put down the hangover soup: "You also think that this king is not motivated? But who knows, only wine can relieve this king's worries. This king can't wait to jump into the river and become a fish who knows nothing about the world!"

Qin Jun shook her head: "Ordinary people, if they want to be admitted, they have to study hard for ten years. The three generations of the clan may not be able to produce a king by the end of their lives. My brother is born noble, but he spends his days talking about doing nothing for fun?"

Qin Kuang's expression became displeased.

Qin Jun said: "Brother, have you ever thought about how you should deal with yourself if you were born in a troubled world, or if you were born in an ordinary world?"

Qin Kuang's expression was startled. Thinking of Ji Si, he said in a strange tone, "You are more capable than elder brother."

Qin Jun thought for a while and said, "I really like the map of the Jin Xiu mountains and rivers that my brother gave me. Has my brother ever made a capital?"

Qin Kuang: "I just played around in Beijing."

Qin Jun said, "Brother, why don't you go and see this mountain and river, is it really Jin Xiu?"

Qin Kuang looked at the smaller Qin Jun and asked in surprise, "What do you mean?"

Qin Jun: "My elder brother is the king of the county. He leads a piece of land far away, and eats and drinks with offerings. Have you seen your own people?"

Qin Kuang fell silent for a moment.

Qin Jun felt that this was all he had to say, and said: "That's all I said today, Xiao Liu is sleepy, go to rest first, brother don't blame me."

Jin Xiu and Ji Si stayed outside the hall, and when they saw Qin Jun coming out, they left with her.

Qin Jun: "You don't have to follow."

Ji Si stopped and blessed her body.When Qin Kuang came out of the hall and saw her, his expression was both surprised and happy.

"The bride..."

"I have seen the prince."

"Are you going to Jiang Prefecture with Xiao Liu?" Qin Kuang asked eagerly.

Ji Si lowered her head: "Yes."

Qin Kuang smelled of alcohol and looked excited: "If you want to stay in Capital, I will go—"

Only then did Ji Si raise her eyes, "No need."

"Lady Pin, Jiang Prefecture is suffering, why not be a wild crane with me in Capital, leisurely and contented..."

"Idle Cloud and Wild Crane?" Ji Si smiled, standing tall and tall on the porch, covered by a light on her forehead like a veil, "My lord, Capital is extravagant, and the imagination of the Idle Cloud and Wild Crane is nothing but hypocrisy and hypocrisy of the family."

Qin Kuang blushed instantly: "Hypocrisy..."

Ji Si: "If you are not hypocritical, why not be ordained and enter the temple as a monk to pursue the true purity of the six senses."

The loin cloth Buddha was exposed, and Qin Kuang was so embarrassed that he couldn't answer, "I... I am tired of my identity!"

Ji Si looked at Qin Kuang indifferently, smiled contemptuously and said nothing.

Qin Kuang said worriedly: "I am different from those dandies of Taixue...Lady Pin..."

Ji Si suddenly said: "The princess treasury is mostly empty, does the prince know where the money is?"

"What, what?" Qin Kuang was taken aback.

Ji Si: "The princess has converted it into a bank note and sent it to Jindi. I think the money that the prince spends every day is enough to feed the people's army for a long time."

Qin Kuang was completely speechless.

"I am from Xijiang, and I know that good men in Qin and Zhou don't want women to practice martial arts and join the army to earn money to support their families. But after watching a lot, I understand that not all men have such integrity. Lady Pin is afraid that the trustees will not be human.”

Ji Si is scolding Qin Kuang for being inferior to women and not being her lover.

It took Qin Kuang a while to recover, feeling uncomfortable, and asked: "I..."

Ji Si: "Today, let's make it clear to the prince that Lady Pin and the prince are just wishful thinking of the prince."

Qin Kuang had already been beaten to the ground, his body swayed, and he almost fell to the ground. He smiled wryly for a while, "...you talked to Xiao Liu like this, piercing people's lungs?"

Ji Si shook her head bluntly: "I'm afraid of falling when I hold the princess, but I'm afraid that it will melt if I hold it in my mouth, so it's not an exaggeration to coax her."

Qin Kuang's face immediately turned pale: "...you, you, you, you!"

Ji Si said: "Your Majesty, you don't have to feel bad for the princess because of me."

Qin Kuang swollen his neck: "I, how did this king become such a villain? What kind of quarrel can we have with her! We are blood relatives who have broken bones and are still connected!"

The night is dark and starless.

When Ji Si heard this, she turned towards Qin Kuangfu gracefully, "I still have to wait for the princess to wash up, so I will take my leave, and the prince will go back."

Qin Kuang: "..."
