chapter 50

In the front yard, Li Sheng, who was almost covered in bandages, had already woken up.

Mr. Chen just used alcohol to disinfect his wound again, he woke up from the pain, now he drank light vegetable and meat porridge, and drank a small bowl of blood-enriching red dates and longan soup, his body finally felt much better.

He wanted to sleep, but his whole body was so painful that he couldn't sleep at all. This autumn hunting, the imperial grandmother said she had arrangements, so he completely trusted the imperial grandmother's arrangements, thinking that the group of assassins seemed to be targeting him, In fact, it was to frame Li Zhao, and would not really hurt himself. Who would have imagined that the group of assassins not only really wanted to kill themselves, but also Li Zhao.

If Li Zhao hadn't been good at fighting and protecting him with all his might, he would probably be dead by now.

Originally, he was grateful to Li Zhao in his heart, but when he saw Li Zhao walking in well, he became suspicious again.Maybe killing Li Zhao was just an act, and killing him was the real thing?Li Zhao was injured only to get rid of the suspicion of Qingsu Palace?

Li Zhao was the first to enter, and as soon as he entered the door, he yelled bitterly: "Brother, you are awake! You scared my younger brother to death! Thanks to the skill of the old man, otherwise you and my brother will be buried here!"

Li Sheng looked suspiciously and vigilantly at the people who served him around him, and asked weakly, "Where... is this?"

His eyes were stained with some kind of poisonous powder, and they were still swollen up to now, and he couldn't quite open them, and the other eye, which was barely open, couldn't see clearly either. At this moment, Li Sheng's heart was full of doubts and fears.

Song Qingyue stepped forward and bowed, and said softly: "This is the little girl's Zhuangzi."

Her voice was clear and beautiful, as sweet as a Ying's cry, and her tone was soft like that of a southern girl, which made Li Sheng's tense nerves relax for a while.

"Here? Build a Zhuangzi" Li Sheng felt incredible. Who would build a Zhuangzi on the wasteland around Haituoling?

Song Qingyue patiently explained again: "This village is only used to raise cattle, sheep and livestock, and does not grow any crops."

"So that's it, girl?"

Song Qingyue smiled slightly and said, "The little girl's surname is Song."

"Song?" Li Sheng became excited and asked, "Could it be that this is Zhuangzi from the old grand master's house?"

Song Qingyue shook her head: "No, the little girl is the daughter of Song Jianming, the new household minister, and this place is not my father's Zhuangzi, but the little girl's own Zhuangzi."

The eldest grandson, Li Sheng, didn't seem to feel any difference, and said, "So it's the daughter of Song Shangshu's family, sorry for bothering you!"

"Don't dare to do it. You just need to rest easy and recuperate. I have already told the servants here that you are hunters in the mountains. You were injured, but I came across them by accident and rescued you."

"Thank you girl."

Li Sheng thanked her, and Song Qingyue led her servants back out, leaving room for the two brothers to discuss private matters.

The next five days passed peacefully, but Song Qingyue didn't know that the capital city was already in chaos.

The empress and concubine eldest grandson were poisoned, but fortunately they were rescued by Meng Wanfeng in time. After joint investigation by Dongchang and Jin Yiwei, it was the second son of the emperor, King Ning. Evidence of the Nightmare Town technique.

The emperor was furious, and directly seized Prince Ning's title of prince, demoted him to a commoner, and imprisoned him in the clan mansion.

In addition, the eldest grandson of the emperor was assassinated and disappeared. Someone recognized one of the assassins as the long-term follower of King Su when he was young. In addition, they also found the arrows used for the assassination. They received the same batch as the guards of King Su's Mansion.

All the evidence was perfect, but unfortunately, Li Zhao, the eldest son of King Su, also disappeared, and they also found Li Zhao's personal guard who died in battle.

The suspicious old emperor turned his attention to the fifth prince Xinwang who had a high reputation in the court. Although no evidence could be found, the emperor didn't need any evidence. palace.

Sure enough, an arrow bearing the mark of King Su's Mansion was found in the Xinwang Mansion.

The matter suddenly became complicated and confusing. Whether it was Xin Wang's mansion who framed Su Wang's mansion, or Su Wang's mansion set up a trap to kill two birds with one stone, even the emperor had a headache.

So he decreed that the fourth prince King Jing, who guarded the northwest, and the third prince King Su, who was fighting pirates in Fujian and Guangdong, were urgently called back to Beijing as soon as possible.

The commander of the Northwest Army was replaced by the queen's nephew, Wei Guogong; as for the navy in the south, the emperor did not make any arrangements, and asked King Su to arrange someone to replace the commander of the Nanyang navy.

The old emperor can be regarded as a hero. He has fought several times in his life, and fought back and forth with the Tartars. However, people's inherent concepts are sometimes difficult to change. No matter how they are described in the memorials, no matter how the data of the household How to explain, I haven't seen the prosperity of the Lingnan area with my own eyes. The word Lingnan is still a harsh and wild place of exile in the minds of the emperor and all the Beijing officials.

The style of writing in Lingnan is not strong, and since the founding of the People’s Republic of China, the number of Jinshi from the Lingnan area has been very limited, and there are only a handful of officials in the capital who have been to Lingnan. In the past 20 years, the military expenditure allocated by the Ministry of War to the south is really pitifully small. King Shangsu's deliberate concealment with Lingnan officials for many years, as well as the inaction of the Southern Jinyiwei, all these factors caused the emperor and the officials of the Beijing Central University to seriously underestimate the size of the Nanyang Navy.

They have always felt that when King Su was short of money and people, the navy he tossed out was at most about the same size as the 7000-man navy trained by the Nanzhili General Soldier in the Yangtze River. A thief is enough.

Because of ignorance, it is unclear, and because of ignorance, it is even more despised, which led to this major decision-making error.

However, the heavenly officials in Beijing, no one knows how much trouble the emperor will cause if he doesn't send someone to Lingnan to take over Su Wang's position.

Except for Song Jianming who knew the details of King Su, unfortunately he and King Su were still on the same boat.

……

Li Zhao has been recuperating in Song Qingyue's Zhuangzi these days, and he has lived a very leisurely life, especially the food on the Zhuangzi, which is very unique and delicious, and does not repeat the same every day, but life is a bit too boring. He has probably not had it since he was born. so free.

Say Song Qingyue doesn't care about them, but the servants take good care of them, say she cares about them, except for the first two days, she never showed up again.

He wanted to see Song Qingyue and talk to her, but every time he went all the way to see her, he would nod and salute, and then she would be busy with her own affairs, and Li Zhao couldn't find a proper reason to go to her.

This day he was wandering around in the thatched cottage again, Feng Qi cautiously followed behind him.

"What are you girls busy with all day long?" Li Zhao knelt down and picked the pepper seedlings planted in the yard.

Feng Qi said respectfully: "When I come back to my son, I will grow vegetables and feed the chickens. If the weather is good, I will go out to ride a horse and go to see the cattle and sheep. If it rains, I will stay in the house to read and draw. By the way, Miss wrote a storybook a few days ago."

"The story book?" Li Zhao raised his eyebrows and pointed to the front, meaning to ask Feng Qi to lead the way.

Feng Qi showed a look of embarrassment: "My lord, that is the lady's boudoir, you..."

Halfway through speaking, his eyes met Li Zhao's displeased gaze, he swallowed the words again, lowered his head silently, and led Li Zhao swaggeringly into Song Qingyue's yard.

The servants who stayed in the yard saw Feng Qi leading Li Zhao in so boldly, and they all showed doubts on their faces. However, everyone knew that Sister Feng Qi was the girl's confidant, so no one asked more questions. .
