I, the queen and the father, start with a deer as a horse

Chapter 308 Heading to Jinnan
Li Yaoyue wanted to ask, but felt that it was not appropriate, so she was silent for a while, but nodded lightly, and said calmly: "I see."

Then he turned and left.

Fang Xiu glanced at her graceful back, looked back, reached out and touched Baihu's head, and said casually: "When I'm not at home, I have to take good care of the nursing home, you know?"

Bai Hu didn't know if he understood or not, he raised his eyes lazily, glanced at Fang Xiu, then ran aside on his own, basking in the sun.

"."

Seeing this, Fang Xiu was speechless for a while.

This thing can still be cute when it is small, but it is really useless when it grows up.

It's just useless, and there's more to eat.

Its expenses for one tiger are almost worth eight or nine people.

The meat eaten by eight or nine people may not be worth one of them!
Hey.
If I knew it was a useless mascot, I might as well send it to the forest as soon as I got it.

Give it freedom, and it will save the servants of the Fang Mansion less trouble.

It's a pity that it has been fed to such a large size, and if it is sent to the forest, it may starve to death in a few days.

In addition, it has been fed for more than two years, even if it is a useless waste, it has feelings, and I can't bear to kick it away.

"That's all, there is no shortage of this food in the house. Since I have raised it, I will raise it for you until you are old."

Fang Xiu thought so, and continued to browse the memorial sent by Zhou Guo.

These memorials were sent over urgently from eight hundred miles from Jinnan Mansion.

Most of them have Xie Qian's comments.

All Fang Xiu has to do is to criticize the red.

The so-called critique of red refers to taking the vermilion brush and marking it on the memorial.

Although the work is simple, it is very important.

Without this hook, no matter how perfect Ren Xieqian's comments were, it would have no effect.

Only the memorials that have been approved can be sent to the six ministries, nine ministers and the yamen of the state capitals for their execution.

In other words, Fang Xiu has the final decision-making power.

Although the cabinet has great power, it is essentially just Fang Xiu, the regent's secretary.

now.

Fang Xiu founded the Dagan and Dazhou Conference of Ministers of State Affairs, which means that he doesn't even want the secretariat of the cabinet.

Henceforth, all decisions are made by the Council of Ministers.

The cabinet returned to its original functions and dealt with some trivial matters.

Of course, realizing this plan will not happen overnight.

The most important first step is to stabilize the interior of the Great Zhou Empire.

As for Fang Xiu's trip to southern Shanxi this time, his plan was to personally go to the battle to inspect the officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty, who could be employed, who could not be employed, who should be rectified, and who should be dismissed directly.

In addition, it is to see whether Bai Qi and the new army can cope with the unexpected situation in Zhou State.

In fact, these things can be done by sending an imperial envoy, but after thinking about it, Fang Xiu still felt that it would be safer to go there himself.

Whether the Great Zhou is stable or not involves the subsequent development of the imperial court, which is extremely important, and Fang Xiu cannot fully trust anyone.

Stabilize the interior of the Great Zhou Empire, and then step by step turn Jinnan Mansion into an existence like a capital, still retaining the six departments and nine ministers, but restricting their power.

At that time, Fang Xiu was equivalent to merging the state of Zhou into Dagan at the least cost.

Of course, the premise is that everything goes well.

Fang Xiu thought so, picked up the brush, and drew a tick on Xie Qian's annotation.

time flies.

In the blink of an eye, five days later.

In front of the gate of Xiangguo Mansion.

Five seemingly ordinary, but actually very luxurious carriages parked here.

In the mansion, somewhere in the courtyard.

Li Yaoyue, who was wearing a black long dress, stood in place, looking at the pretty little maid Tao'er in front of her with her beautiful phoenix eyes, and asked, "Have you made up your mind?"

Tao'er nodded lightly, and replied: "I have made up my mind, I will stay in the Xiangguo Mansion."

Li Yaoyue fell silent when she heard this.

Tao'er thought for a while, and said: "However, if the servant has the opportunity, he will definitely go to Jinnan to see the madam. At that time, the madam can't turn the slave away."

Li Yaoyue originally wanted to say that he just went to Jinnan to ask Brother Huang whether the contents of the letter were true, and he would return to Jinnan later, but after thinking about it, no one can say for sure what will happen in the future.

When she arrives in southern Shanxi, she might be able to stay in her hometown.

Therefore, still silent.

Seeing that Li Yaoyue kept silent, Tao'er thought she was angry with herself, and hurriedly said: "I don't want to go to Jinnan with Madam, it's not because I don't want to follow Madam, and it's not because Madam is not good enough, but because I am not good enough. His parents are still in Xiangguo Mansion.

Although the servant girl has not read many books, she also knows that the sage once said that when parents are alive, they will not travel far."

Speaking of this, she suddenly felt a little embarrassed, as if she was far-fetched.

So he scratched his head and said with a blushing face: "Actually, the servant girl cannot be separated from her parents, and the servant girl grew up in the Xiangguo Mansion since she was a child. It’s novel, but after being away from home for a long time, I’ll always feel homesick.”

When Li Yaoyue heard the words "parents" and "family", a dazed look appeared in her eyes.

For her, after just sleeping, she lost her parents and her home.

Even if she returned to Jinnan, for her, it was just the place where she lived since she was a child, nothing more.

Thinking of this.

Complicated emotions welled up in her heart, she looked at Tao'er for a while, nodded, and said, "Got it."

After speaking, he turned and planned to leave.

Halfway there, he stopped again and turned to look at Tao'er.

Tao'er stood where she was, staring at Li Yaoyue in a daze, tears seemed to glisten in her eyes.

For Tao'er, Li Yaoyue's two years in Xiangguo's mansion brought many disturbances to her ordinary life.

She also knows that Madam's coldness is only aimed at outsiders, and Madam is always very gentle to her own people.

To be honest, she was very reluctant to let his wife leave from the bottom of her heart.

For Li Yaoyue, Taoer is one of the few warmth she experienced in the past two years in Chang'an.

Even if there are some things, she has been keeping the secret from herself, but as a servant, she can't help herself.

"I'll be waiting for you in Jinnan."

Li Yaoyue was silent for a few seconds, left this sentence, then turned and left.

Parting is always sad.

This is especially true for those who have never experienced separation.

The little girl Tao'er looked at Li Yaoyue's back and realized that she would not see her wife for a long time soon, the sadness in her heart welled up like a spring, and finally she couldn't help shedding tears.

the other side.

Li Yaoyue's mood was much better, she was not a sentimental person, not to mention that she had experienced such a big change before, she was only sad for a few seconds, then recovered her mood, walked out of Xiangguo Mansion, and came to the carriage.

Looking at the five identical carriages in front of her, a look of trance appeared in her eyes, and she didn't know which one she should get in for a moment.

at this time.

A familiar voice came from behind.

"You take the one in the middle."

Li Yaoyue subconsciously turned her head to look, and saw Fang Xiu in brocade clothes and a cloak standing not far away, looking like a son of a rich family.

You are sitting in the middle carriage. This tone gave Li Yaoyue a feeling that even Fang Xiu would also like to ride in this batch of carriages.

As soon as she had this idea, she saw Fang Xiu stepping into the second carriage, his movements were natural, as if he was ready to get into the carriage long ago.

"you"

Li Yaoyue stared at him blankly, a little dazed.

Fang Xiu looked at her, and said calmly: "Benxiang is going to Jinnan too. In order to save the guards, you will go with Ben."

The voice fell.

Li Yaoyue was stunned.

She never expected that Fang Xiu would choose to leave for Jinnan just after the Chinese New Year.

Although, if everything goes well, the convoy will arrive in Jinnan in a few days.

However, if he leaves Chang'an at this time, isn't he afraid of turmoil in Chang'an?
Even if he is deeply rooted in Chang'an and has a lot of party members, what's the point of him going to Jinnan?
Could it be for the sake of intervening in the meeting with the ministers of the Great Zhou?
At this moment, many thoughts appeared in Li Yaoyue's mind, and it was a bit chaotic for a while.

No matter what the purpose of Fang Xiu's trip to Jinnan is.

One thing is certain now, that is, it will not be easy for her to get out of Fang Xiu's control!
After a while.

Li Yaoyue finally accepted the reality of walking with Fang Xiu, and walked towards the carriage in the middle according to his instructions.

Just at this time.

A clear and pleasant voice came from behind.

"Master Xiang, the servant's house is going too!"

After staying in Xiangguo Mansion for two years, Li Yaoyue is no stranger to this voice.

It was Fang Xiuyang's favorite concubine in the mansion. To be precise, she was just a close servant girl——Yang Yuhuan.

"It's not that, you are a woman, it's inconvenient to follow."

Fang Xiu looked at Yang Yuhuan and said, "Come back from the truth, I will bring you local specialties, and take you to the jewelry stores in the capital. Buy whatever you fancy."

Hearing this, Li Yaoyue snorted coldly in her heart, the other party's method of coaxing the concubine was very contemptuous.

"do not want!"

On the other hand, Yang Yuhuan rarely rejected Fang Xiu once.

She walked briskly and came to the second carriage, and said softly: "Although I am a daughter, I am also very capable. I can serve tea and water to Xiangye, and I can also beat his back and legs for Xiangye. Master Xiang is going out, so someone has to take care of him, those guards are too careless to take care of Master Xiang, some things, I still have to come to my servant."

Very capable of this, Fang Xiu admitted.

Moreover, as she said, it is better to have a maid by her side to take care of her than some unreasonable guards.

However, Fang Xiu was very worried that her old illness would recur, and it would be troublesome if she couldn't find a doctor in the wilderness.

Fang Xiu was silent for a few seconds, but still expressed his inner thoughts.

"The truth is the people who led the army and fought in the war, not those young masters who are thin-skinned and tender, and can't bear hardships. They don't need someone to take care of them. Doctor, the truth will be ashamed for a lifetime.

You should just stay in the Xiangguo Mansion obediently for the sake of the truth, and be obedient."

Yang Yuhuan didn't expect that Master Xiang let him stay because he was worried about the relapse of his old illness, so he was slightly taken aback.

There was an indescribable emotion in my heart, my eyes became watery, and I said in a trembling voice: "Master Xiang."

aside.

Li Yaoyue looked at Fang Xiu, with surprise in her eyes, and said in her heart: I didn't expect that Yang Yuhuan was so important in his heart, and he cared so much. Maybe it was just a way to trick his concubine.

"The slave girl's old illness has not recurred for a long time. The slave girl thinks it must be related to that book. The Prime Minister asked the slave girl to stay by his side and serve him."

Yang Yuhuan looked at Fang Xiu with watery eyes, and said in a coquettish tone.

I have to say that the trick of the personal maid really works.

Even with a heart of steel, facing such a beautiful and lovely girl, he can't help but feel his bones crumble.

Fortunately, after being baptized by so many beautiful beauties, Fang Xiu's willpower is still firm, and just about to say yes, he restrained the throbbing in his heart and remained silent.

Seeing that Fang Xiu still didn't agree, Yang Yuhuan had no choice but to use the last big move, pouted and said: "Tell the truth, not only the slaves want to serve the Prime Minister, but His Majesty also wants the slaves to follow. If the Prime Minister doesn't believe it, You can send someone to the palace to ask His Majesty."

"?"

Fang Xiu looked blank, thinking, what does this have to do with the little empress.

"Master Xiang, don't you understand why His Majesty asked your slaves to follow?"

Yang Yuhuan frowned, and asked Fang Xiu's doubts.

Fang Xiu didn't speak.

Immediately afterwards, I heard Yang Yuhuan explain: "Your Majesty said that you want your servants to take care of the Prime Minister, but in fact, you let your servants act as eyeliners next to the Prime Minister. If there is any vixen who dares to seduce the Prime Minister, he will report to His Majesty and settle the score when His Majesty comes back in the autumn!" "

When Fang Xiu heard this, he immediately understood, and subconsciously glanced at Li Yaoyue.

Li Yaoyue quickly understood Yang Yuhuan's implication, she was startled for a moment, then frowned slightly.

If it was in the past, she still had a [-]/[-] chance of getting close to Fang Xiu.

However, now that she has been able to return to Jinnan, even if she forces her with a knife, she will never take a step closer to Fang Xiu!
now.

Looking at Yang Yuhuan who was squinting at her, she really wanted to say: "You and Your Majesty the Emperor are worrying too much, I despise your Prime Minister", but she always felt that there was no silver 300 taels in this place. .

So he just pretended not to care, turned around and got into the carriage.

"Master Xiang, let the slave family follow. If the old disease of the slave family really recurs, those quack doctors can't cure anything. At that time, you still have to ask the master to save the slave family."

Taking advantage of Fang Xiu's stunned effort, Yang Yuhuan wrapped his arms around him and shook them gently.

Feel the touch from the arm.

Fang Xiu couldn't help sighing in his heart, it really is the eighteenth change of the female university.

getting bigger.

Think for a few seconds.

Fang Xiu finally decided to agree to her request.

Not because the little empress wanted her to follow.

It's just that Fang Xiu felt that if she really had a relapse of her old illness, she might really have to rely on the panacea in her system mall.

"There may be various accidents on the road. No matter what happens, follow the truth and don't run around or move around."

Seeing Fang Xiu's agreement, Yang Yuhuan showed joy on her delicate face, stretched out four fingers, and promised loudly: "My family will definitely follow the Prime Minister closely, and will never run around!"

Fang Xiu lifted the curtain of the carriage, turned to look at her, and said helplessly, "Come in."

"Master Xiang is the best!"

As Yang Yuhuan said, she happily got into the carriage.
