The Tyrant’s Beloved Empress

Concubine Shu Gui has been in the palace for many years and raised the three princes. +++Mobile reading visit m.wuxiaspot.com

She came from the Ding'an Shu family, her brother Shu Lingting was a general who returned to Germany, and was based in Yuzhou; her family was the Xue family in Yejing, and the Xue family was one of the Six Pillar Kingdoms since the founding of the great Ye. The forces behind it should not be underestimated. This is also the confidence that she has been fighting against the queen for so many years, and she is not shy in the slightest.

Earlier, when the three princes were young, and Emperor Anqing was still young, although there was disagreement between Concubine Shu Gui and the queen, the face was still fair, and the struggle was not exposed. More than ten years later, the three princes are also fifteen years old, and they have begun to look for candidates for the princess; and the Anqing emperor is gradually aging and indulging in the way of longevity.

Seeing the prince sitting more securely, Concubine Shu Gui became anxious. While Emperor Anqing sent troops to look for the mad Taoist, An (inserted cha) such a "superior" came in.

Her original arrangement was seamless. That Gaoren did have a small reputation among the people before. After entering the palace, he was only devoted to making alchemy for Emperor Anqing, and he never set his beak on the right and wrong of the former harem. If it weren't for the clues accidentally discovered by Xiao Zhige's spies, I wouldn't know that the "superior" turned out to be Concubine Shu's.

But even though he knew it, Xiao Zhige didn't plan to pierce it immediately. The spies underneath tried to find the elixir of this expert, and after showing it to Hu Shifei, he was sure that the pill had a great effect, and the medicinal materials were all precious things. Even the imperial doctors of the hospital said no. What's wrong.

But Xiao Zhige always remembered Hu Shifei's reply to him after reading Danfang: It is not advisable to eat more.

This great tonic pill can indeed make people look energized. But if you take it for a long time, your body will get used to this state, and if you don't use it one day, you will suffer like an epiphany, even worse than before. And this pill is effective for two days a day, and also effective for one month and two months. But if you eat every month and every year, the effect of this medicine will gradually decrease. If you want the original effect, you can only increase (strengthen qiang) the medicine continuously, and this will only lead to deficiency. Not subject to compensation. (身shen) The body is like a bursting river, with water leaking everywhere.

Either way, it is evil.

I heard that Emperor Anqing is now very fond of this expert, staying in the palace and discussing the alchemy day by day. It will not be long before he wants to taste the evil results.

An Changqing pursed her lips, and did not expect that Emperor Anqing would die sooner after the first rebirth.

The last emperor of Anqing did not linger on the bed until two years later, and then hurriedly summoned Xiao Zhige to return to Beijing. This life has advanced so much...An Changqing looked up at Xiao Zhige, wondering if this life will change again.

After Xiao Zhige was recalled to Yejing, the prince was disgraced and demoted as a common man, and then the three princes were assassinated by the refugees (to kill sha). The only son of Anqing Emperor was Xiao Zhige, who had to die before he died. He was made emperor. But even so, there are many rumors among the people that the prince was framed by the Northern Warlord and the three princes were killed by the Northern Warlord's design...Even the death of Emperor Anqing was put on his charge.

Father-killing, brothers (killing sha)... all of them pointedly pointed out that Xiao Zhige's throne was not good enough (gan gan).

An Changqing looked at him with distress in her eyes. I don't know what Xiao Zhige thought in the previous life. But in this life, An Changqing doesn't want to see him bear the unnecessarily infamy again. He narrowed his eyes and asked in a low voice, "If you return to Yejing...what will the prince do? Do you want to fight with the prince and the third prince?"

Xiao Zhige glanced at him strangely, saw his worry, and then explained: "The boss and the youngest can fight each other to death. What am I fighting with them?"

He turned his back and said proudly, "Snipe and clam are fighting, isn't it better for us to reap the profits?"

"But the prince and the third prince may not let us watch the fire from across the bank." An Changqing said.

Xiao Zhige nodded and looked at him with a smile: "So in case our father becomes seriously ill, we have to find an excuse to return to Yejing as soon as possible."

An Changqing understood what he meant and pursed her lips and smiled: "Then the prince has an excuse?"

"No." Xiao Zhige smiled, but he was not in a hurry, and even made a joke: "If you can give me a baby, we don't have a ready-made excuse not to return to Yejing."

As soon as An Changqing stayed, she became annoyed when she reacted, kicked his calf with her foot, and said, "The prince is really getting more and less serious."

Especially after last night, the words are really open.

Xiao Zhige gave him a kick to vent his anger, and took the opportunity to pull the person into his arms and hug him with his arms around his waist, but he didn't entangle him with the topic before, instead he asked the previous question again: "Here you are. Didn’t tell me if it was all last night—"

Before he finished speaking, An Changqing, who was guessing what he was going to say, covered her mouth in anger.

"Have fun!" An Changqing glared at him quickly.

Xiao Zhige didn't believe it, thinking that he was afraid of telling the truth to make him unhappy, so he coaxed him. After all, he looks very lively now, and he doesn't seem to be unable to get out of bed at all.

Although the princess was very considerate, the Northern Warlord still secretly decided to let him have fun tonight.

An Changqing didn't know the thoughts wandering in his heart at all, thinking that his answer finally satisfied him, so she pushed the person away to arrange other affairs in the mansion.

Time flies quickly when I get busy, and it's night in a flash.

As soon as An Changqing finished washing, she wore a flimsy coat and returned to the house, and was pulled into the tent by the Northern Warlord who had been prepared. After an exclamation, he gradually heard only the voice of Suo.

That night, the curtains on the bedside shook, and the candlelight in the room trembled. The mandarin duck was full of affection on his pillow until the fifth watch.

…

The next day, An Changqing failed to get up.

Xiao Zhige finally regained his self-confidence, watching him frowning and leaning against the head of the bed, feeling a little distressed and regretful. Ask An Fu to bring vegetable porridge over and feed him bite by bite.

An Changqing stared at him and refused to open his mouth. He didn't know what he was going crazy last night, and he refused to let him go anyway. He still suffers from sore back and legs.

"Don't like to drink porridge? I ask the kitchen to make you a cup of chicken soup?"

Being so stared at him, his original ambition was pressed down, Xiao Zhige was inexplicably guilty, so he had to coax him more carefully.

"No." An Changqing took the porridge bowl, endured the discomfort and took a sip before saying: "I feel uncomfortable all over, and the two of them are a little squeezed in sleep, so I'm wronged by the prince to go to the study to sleep tonight."

Xiao Zhige: "..."

No matter how slow, you can see An Changqing angry right now. Xiao Zhige was puzzled and looked at his face (color) carefully, but he didn't even dare to ask. Only (gan gan) baffled "Oh".

After drinking the porridge, An Changqing was really sleepy. She covered the quilt and started to sleep again.

Xiao Zhige looked at the side for a while, and when he was asleep, he was able to pull the quilt off for some ventilation before instructing An Fu to guard outside and leave the house lightly. There are still a lot of things waiting in the army. He went to deal with it.

So when several generals were facing each other that day, they saw their generals' faces dark and scary.

Xie Ling has always been shrewd and quickly found an excuse to slip away. Tiehu watched Xie Ling slipped, and ran with him. Qi Wei took a step slowly, was caught by Xiao Zhige, and took him to the ridge on the outskirts of the city.

It is now in May, and the food crops planted earlier have grown a lot taller. As the weather is getting hotter, many people in the fields are carrying buckets on poles to irrigate one by one.

Qi Wei shrank his neck, although he didn't know what Xiao Zhige was doing here with him, but his instinct was no good. There was no sound at this time, like a quail.

"This year's winter, the crops were planted late, and harvesting in August, I am afraid that it will not be harvested." Xiao Zhige said.

They knew about this after the war ended. Qi Wei didn't know why he talked about it again, so he looked at him suspiciously and waited for the following.

Sure enough, Xiao Zhige said again: "It is estimated that the second half of this year will not be peaceful. We have to find a way to ask the people to store more food crops. Otherwise, I am afraid it will be difficult in the future."

According to An Changqing, starting from Suzhou, there have been uprisings in various places. Yejing will inevitably send troops to suppress it. And according to Emperor Anqing's (sexual xing) son, he can basically guess what actions will be made. Now that the treasury is empty, if you want (zhenzhen) to suppress the uprising refugees, you can send troops. Sending troops is a large sum of silver and grain, all of which is money.

Where does the money come from? It can only be searched from the people.

If the uprising can be calmed, but not, then there will be no peace in the next one or two years. Yanzhou is his foundation and must be prepared early.

Speaking of this, Qi Wei is also worried: "Those who can be planted are trying to get the people to plant it."

But Yanzhou is located in the north, the climate is cold, the land is barren and water is lacking, it is really difficult to grow something. The yield of one mu of land is much lower than that in the south. The people plant the land, but they will be able to fill their stomachs. In the event of a disaster year or war, you will be hungry. Although they intend to change these years, they really have nowhere to do it.

"Think of a way again." Xiao Zhige's voice was deep, and he glanced at him deeply, turned his back and said, "After you go back, you and Xie Ling summon the experienced old farmers in the city to discuss, you must figure out a way."

Qi Wei should be bitter.

***

On May 17, the Queen Mother's birthday is celebrated. Emperor Anqing amnesty the world and celebrate with the people.

Xiao Zhige hurriedly sent the guilty zhezi and the gift he had prepared earlier back to Yejing. He did not return to Beijing on the grounds that the Yanzhou war had just ceased.

Although I didn't see it with my own eyes, the spy returned the news that the Queen Mother's birthday feast was extremely extravagant. In order to celebrate the Queen Mother, the gifts given by the relatives and courtiers of the emperor were more valuable than the other.

Yejing is prosperous and luxurious, and it can reach half of the big Yejiang and mountains.

The birthday was originally celebrated on the ninth day, but when it was on the fifth day, it was interrupted by an urgent report from Suzhou-a peasant uprising in Kangyong County at the junction of Suzhou and Bingzhou, but in just half a month, nearly 10,000 refugees were summoned , Entrenched in the Surabaya area, contending with the officers and soldiers.

The Luan m in Kangyong County had early signs.

At first, the county magistrate sent people to collect "fulu tax." The people in Liangzhou had just been hit by a snowstorm. Due to the imperfect rescue of the court, many houses collapsed during the snowstorm and many people died from freezing. After finally making it through the winter, the surviving people will stubbornly guard the food they are not willing to eat and plant them. They are looking forward to the harvest day by day, but there are officers and soldiers to collect taxes.

At this time, the people's homes no longer had half of their food, and they all depended on going into the mountains to dig wild plants and grass roots to survive. Now I have to pay taxes again, so I can't pay them naturally.

The officials who went to collect taxes had a bad temper. During the conflict, a farmer in a village was beaten to death by the officers and soldiers who collected taxes. This caused public outrage, and the villagers worked together to hang the four or five officials collected from the village on a tree at the entrance of the village.

Afterwards, these villagers were afraid of being arrested, thinking that there was no way to survive anyway, so they (gan gan) gathered together and started to rise.

Such things are not limited to this village. The local county magistrate didn't take it seriously, and sent more than a dozen officers and soldiers to (zhenzhen) to suppress the situation, but he did not intend to wipe out the entire army again. When he realized the seriousness (sexual xing) was reported, most of the villages in Kangyong County were involved in the violence (luan)m.
