11.10 Embarrassing stories of the descendants, deep talk about the queen

"Sister Qingyan!" After a mental shock before landing, which easily knocked down all the irrelevant personnel in the entire Fengzao Palace, Shi Xiangyun cheered and rushed into the apse, hugging a woman who was reviewing the memorial.

"Damn girl, don't make trouble!" Almost accidentally leaving a ball of ink on the memorial, the queen slapped Shi Xiangyun on the head angrily, "I will accompany you after I read these memorials—Zhiqiu, pour a glass Tea over—Zhiqiu?"

"Your Majesty, it's—Master Wei!" Zhiqiu's tone was visibly trembling, and he glanced at Emperor Yongzheng who was unconscious on the dragon bed out of the corner of his eye.

"Don't worry, if I want to kill him, don't say you can't stop him, even if you look at the world, there is absolutely no one who can stop you." Wei Xu followed up with a glance at the sleeping and drooling emperor and said, "I just have something to ask ask."

"Damn girl!" The queen pushed away Shi Xiangyun, who was still crooked in her arms, and turned back to the apse with a blushing face—she was still wearing golden-yellow phoenix-patterned pajamas, and she was even barefoot in a vacuum, so she was naturally not interested. Let people eat tofu.

After a cup of tea, the queen who had changed her clothes and returned to the palace had regained her composure. The queen's uniform with golden phoenix patterns looked dignified and elegant. She beckoned the two of them to sit down, and Zhiqiu also prepared tea—— He ignored His Majesty the Emperor who was still unconscious on the dragon bed.

"Marquis Wei is here, is there something wrong?" The queen's tone was flat. What's interesting is that she didn't mention even a "gift of the emperor and his ministers", and her tone was completely equal.

"We were tricked and used witchcraft." Wei Xu told the situation of Ma Daopo and the fox demon again, and he didn't care about "high and low". "The witch who did it said last, it is According to the arrangement of the royal family, do you have any news from the empress?"

"People from the Dragon Head Palace." The queen replied without hesitation, "The Ma brothers are the guest ministers of the hidden guards in name, but in fact they have been dishonest. Their old lady only recognizes money, and these three are considered to be outside the Dragon Head Palace power."

"Thank you for letting me know." Wei Xu nodded his thanks, "As for the conditions last time, I'm sorry I'm not interested, so I can only live up to your kindness."

"Aren't you a little crazy?" Zhiqiu, who served on the side, said dissatisfiedly, "The holy religion is a thousand-year-old religion. I don't know how many hidden resources it has. Once you become the leader, you can naturally."

"Are the leaders and saintesses of your family able to move these resources?" Wei Xu interrupted her simply.

"That's because the empress is in the deep palace, and it's too difficult to go out at ordinary times, and many things can't be managed at all, which is why I'm in trouble today." Zhiqiu is very confident, "If the empress is outside the palace, the holy religion will naturally not Just like today."

"Does your mother believe this?" Wei Xu asked the queen with a smile on his face.

"Zhiqiu, step back!" The queen sighed softly, of course she would not be as naive as her own maid, "Master Wei didn't come here just for such a trivial matter, did he?"

"The two from Jinling, I will arrange for people to send them to the capital, but I need a handwritten letter from the empress to ensure that they will be honest." Wei Xu said lightly, he was really annoyed by these two's coquettish operations .

"Sister Qingyan, did you give all the luck of your Xu family to you?" Shi Xiangyun smiled and mocked, "The performance of these two during this period can be called a model of death.

I don't know what they were thinking, but they thought Mr. Lin was easy to bully, and at the welcome banquet of the new governor, they proposed to recover the property lost by their family during the civil unrest.

Originally, that was all for nothing, but he actually wanted to count the properties of several small families under his own head; if it was just this, it was not unbearable, anyway, these small families were all dead, and he wanted to occupy a lot of ownerless land. property.

After being rejected, you dare to mention your name, threatening to make Mrs. Lin look good——Sister Qingyan, you should have received the letter from there, right?That's an entire [-] mu of high-quality paddy fields, and they dare to speak! "

"So, on the grounds of 'restoring the people's livelihood', you distributed all the landless land that the owner's family suffered from misfortune to the landless people, but you only collected normal taxes and didn't leave any harvest for the original owner?" The queen asked with interest. .

"Isn't that the slogan you guys have been shouting all the time?" Wei Xu snapped back, "It's a pity you never did it."

"It's not enough!" Shi Xiangyun continued to make trouble, "The two of your family should now be the representatives of the highest-ranking gentry in the entire Jinling City, because too many people have been killed by the rioters."

"Really rioters?" The queen interrupted Shi Xiangyun with a smile, "I know that those rioters have never been able to enter the city. Until they were wiped out by Lord Wei, the entire Jinling City was safe and sound."

"Although the army did not enter the city, a small number of elite rebels sneaked into the city through tunnels and killed a large number of gentry, officials and people. They really deserve death!" Wei Xu said with a righteous face.

"It seems that they are really messy enough," Zhiqiu said sarcastically, "Sneaking in through secret passages but not robbing the city gates, but spending all their energy on killing gentry officials, they ran into the elite officials of Lord Hou. Army, they still didn’t run away, and they were all wiped out in the end.”

"No way, they don't know the art of war, they don't know the principle of 'capture the thief and capture the king', they still lack education." Wei Xu continued to open his eyes and talk nonsense.

"Okay, father and elder brother, I will personally write a letter to ask them to move to the capital, so I won't bother you." Of course the queen can tell that if these two don't know each other again, maybe one day they will. It was "rebellious people".

"Thank you for your understanding." Wei Xu casually raised his hand as a salute, "After all, these two are still in the business of human trafficking. When there are more people, it is easy to get into trouble, isn't it?" "Marquis Wei has his heart. !" Zhiqiu said with eyes wide open.

"Zhiqiu, you go out first." The queen waved her hand, nodded in Zhiqiu's worried eyes, and then said to Wei Xu, "Marquis Wei, I happen to have something that I can talk about today."

"Oh?" Wei Xu smiled, "So, I don't know if the one who told me this is the Empress of the Dashun Dynasty, or the Saintess of the White Lotus Sect?"

"I am me, and my identity is just a symbol." Xu Qingyan's expression turned serious, and he immediately turned to the topic, "Now there are [-] soldiers in the south of the Yangtze River, and the so-called 'White Lotus Sacred Army' that has won the three towns of Wuchang is no less than this number .

The entire 20 army, looking south of the Yangtze River, has no opponents, and the Zhennan Army may be a little more troublesome, but the 20 army has not made any major moves so far, and they are all repairing and training on the spot, which makes me very puzzled. "

"There is no way, the Jiangnan army should not be valued by His Majesty. Such a suitable opportunity to make meritorious service, but unable to kill the enemy on the battlefield, really makes me feel resentful." Wei Xu continued to speak nonsense with his eyes open.

Not to mention the speechless Xu Qingyan, even Shi Xiangyun couldn't help laughing.

"Second Master Wei, I'm here to talk to you about business." Xu Qingyan said angrily, "20 troops, when are you planning to conquer the world with the Northern Expedition? Then I can get rid of these troublesome things, so that I don't have to worry about it all day long."

"It's right that you didn't choose to put all your eggs in one basket. The two of your family really can't help them. Even if you don't meet me, as long as Wu Xun has enough money and food, it won't take too much time to defeat them. It's hard to say whether it will be." involve you.

As for the pacification of the world, I am actually sure of it now, but I don't want to create another century-old dynasty and then fall into a vicious circle of rise and fall. At least, relying on the existing civil servants and scholars, I can't see any future.

Although the world is big, even if it is the royal family, only three or four out of ten can really be mobilized, and the rest are in the hands of the so-called 'squires', and this is only done when the Dashun Dynasty is still considered to be a prosperous age. arrived.

If it was like the previous Ming Dynasty, His Majesty the emperor at the end of the dynasty could not even come up with 20 taels of military expenses, but a group of salt merchants in the south of the Yangtze River could spend tens of thousands of taels just to flatter a bitch, such a so-called 'emperor' Worth mentioning.

What's more, this world is not as simple as you imagined, and there are some powers beyond the mundane. If they are not dealt with, even if you win the throne, you will not be able to sit firmly. "Wei Xu didn't go around in circles this time.

"So, you have almost wiped out the power of the gentry in the entire Jiangnan, Jiangxi, and Jiangxi. Neither civil servants nor military generals use scholars, but manpower trained by yourself. Do you know that the civil officials are ready to fight you forever?" Xu Qing said coldly. said coldly.

"Do you know what 'a scholar rebelled, ten years failed'?" Wei Xu smiled, "Actually, Confucianism in the Spring and Autumn Period also had both civil and military skills. The so-called 'Six Arts of a Gentleman' included driving and archery.

But now the so-called "literati", I prefer to call it "rotten Confucianism" or "cynicism". Except for a few elites, most of them are almost useless. Such a group of people can only parasitize within the imperial court system. It's useless.

They may be shouting happily now, if one day I can win the world, they will be the fastest to kneel, and they don’t even need me to threaten them, all kinds of congratulatory forms will pile up like a snowflake, and those from the Kong family will take the lead Do it, and soon the so-called "scholars" all over the world will follow. "

"I already know your manpower strength from Fei Xu's hoof." Xu Qingyan said after a moment of silence, "Although most of them are not great talents, they are good at practice and can be used in a short time. , completely ensure the stability of the world.”

"It seems that everyone Liu has contacted you again." Wei Xu smiled and said, Liu Feixu did not betray the White Lotus Sect, so Xu Fei had already reported it, "It's also fortunate that she is smart, otherwise the so-called ' The White Lotus Sect has long since become a mess."

"Yeah, that hoof is cruel. With such a generous dowry, I'm not afraid of eating too much to support me." Xu Qingyan said angrily, but when he looked at Wei Xu, he had a strange expression, obviously knowing Liu Fei. Xu's real purpose, but did not say much.

"Although I agree with her intentions, frankly speaking, I don't think much of her 'power'." Wei Xu, a person of modern background, naturally knows that strength is in his hands, and he expands blindly It just makes the organization bloated and meaningless.

"You're the only one who dares to say that in this world." Xu Qingyan rolled his eyes speechlessly, "Okay, now we're done talking, and I don't have those things outside, so naturally they are no longer of any value. Master Wei can just do it himself. --what are you doing?"

"No, there is one more thing." Wei Xu got up and hugged her horizontally, "Actually, I haven't got the most precious thing - dare to touch my girl, how can it be possible without paying a little price? Why don't you do it yourself Come pay it back!"

"Damn girl, that's how you look at your man and other women." Xu Qingyan's expression froze, but he didn't have any intention of resisting. He just stared at Shi Xiangyun with a pair of beautiful eyes.

"Hee hee, it's better to let me serve my sister." Shi Xiangyun came up with a smile and took a sip.

"You—" Xu Qingyan was amused, "That can't be here either"

"No, it's right here." Wei Xu smirked and carried her to the dragon bed, kicking the emperor onto the carpet, "Because it feels better this way, doesn't it?"
