Lonely non-good minister

These words left Empress Shen speechless for a moment. Song Chun continued: "My mother has never cared about political affairs and she knew that Concubine Shen and Yuan'er would benefit from Concubine Li's stupidity. Then how could anyone else do it?" Are you a fool? Would Lady Shen herself not understand such a blatant plan?

Now, Concubine Li has put the blame on Concubine Shen. According to Concubine Li's character, she will deal with Concubine Shen before her mother takes care of her. In this case, both Concubine Li and her son, as well as Concubine Shen and her son, will suffer losses. Without any benefit, the news of her son's illness spread. Who do you think will benefit? "

Queen Shen was stunned by the question and didn't respond for a while.

"My father's current reputation and authority are in shambles. There is no one loyal to him inside or outside the court. To put it bluntly, everyone's eyes are fixed on the nine of us brothers. We will inevitably fight among ourselves. If something goes wrong with us, what will happen to us?" The ones who benefit are the outsiders, my mother, the Song family’s descendants are prosperous, and we are not the only nine brothers.”

After saying this, Queen Shen realized the seriousness of the matter, and her face became ugly: "There are many people with ulterior motives, and they are all eyeing this position."

"So, you must not fall into the trap at this time. I know whether the fifth brother and Yuan'er are worthy of trust. I will not be suspicious of them. I hope that my mother can also trust Empress Shen. If the empress falls into the trap and targets Empress Shen, , how could Yuan'er be of the same mind as Erchen?
Yuan'er's abilities are well known to his mother. He is down-to-earth and hard-working, and has excellent ability to manage civil affairs. Now being in the northwest is just an experience for him. Once he can run the northwest, his political achievements will be unparalleled. If you are a civil servant who is a minister, what else do you have to fear?
Similarly, if Yuan'er and her son were separated because their mother targeted Empress Shen, where could the son and his son find a trustworthy and highly capable civil affairs official?If Yuan'er turns against Erchen because of this, Erchen will not only lose his right and left arm, but also gain a powerful enemy. Isn't this a case of stealing the chicken but losing the rice? "

Queen Shen was frightened for a while: "I didn't target her, I just reprimanded Concubine Li and Concubine Liu, they are the most restless."

Song Chun didn't believe this explanation. He knew Empress Shen too well. When he was angry, he probably listed Xiao Shen as the culprit without even thinking about it carefully. He said that he was reprimanding Concubine Li, but in fact, he also angered Concubine Li and made her angry. Concubine Li went to target Xiao Shen's plan.

"The Queen Mother asked Concubine Shen to take care of my son's body. She did it very carefully. Although my son was in pain, his appetite has really improved a lot. Based on this, the Queen Mother should be more polite. No matter what she said, My concubine’s mother is considered an elder.”

Queen Shen was very embarrassed to be told: "I know, I know, if something like this happens again in the future, I will discuss it with you before making a decision. But this time I am really angry and confused. Concubine Li Guifei was not a good person before." A peaceful person, now she wants to stir up trouble again, with old and new grudges, and I can't control her."

"There is nothing to be afraid of, mother and son. If they could change the world, they would have done great things. As for Concubine Liu, she has always been cunning and cunning, and she has many twists and turns in her heart. Although the sixth and eighth children made big mistakes, they were despised by the government and the public. , but they are still the commander-in-chief of a garrison and have military power in their hands, so they have the confidence to fight at any time."

When mentioning Concubine Liu, Empress Shen's face turned extremely ugly: "Concubine Liu is already disgusting, and having two sons is also not a good thing."

Song Chun did not cooperate with her gossip. The two brothers Song Fen and Song Ling had always been like this. It would be meaningless to talk too much.

He persuaded Queen Shen carefully, and early the next morning, Queen Shen rewarded Little Shen with many things on the grounds that Little Shen took care of Song Chun's food. Little Shen went to express her gratitude and stayed with Queen Shen in the palace. He had breakfast before leaving. This action made most of the concubines who were waiting to watch the show stop thinking.

Little Shen still has the trust and dependence of Queen Shen, so no one in the harem can touch her in the slightest.

After ensuring her own safety, Xiao Shen wrote to Song Yuan, telling her the situation in Jingzhao in detail, and the family letter was successfully delivered to Song Yuan.She was so busy with the autumn harvest that she had time to open the letter and read it when she was eating. The letter detailed Song Chun's symptoms. Song Yuan didn't understand the pharmacology of the disease and couldn't imagine what it was. No matter what kind of illness it is, it can make even my elder brother unbearable and torture him.

"Mr. An." Song Yuan looked at An Zhou aside: "There is a dull pain in various parts of the body, and the pain is progressing rapidly. What kind of symptoms can this cause for a person who has always been physically strong?"

An Zhoushi stared at the books spread out in front of him and said without raising his head: "It's hard to say. If you don't feel well, you should see a doctor early. Especially if the disease develops rapidly, you can't delay it. Some diseases can't be delayed, and they can be sudden. In an emergency, there is a high probability of death, and surgery is required."

"Could it be poisoning?" Song Yuan guessed.

An Zhoushi finally looked up. He thought about it seriously: "Poisoning requires a certain dose. At the current level, it is difficult to remove impurities in herbs, so if it is true poisoning, most of the time it will be accompanied by Symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea, and dizziness are magical. The human body can carry out the first round of protest and detoxification through physiological reactions, thereby ensuring that the poisoned person can live longer."

Song Yuan looked at the family letter and stopped talking. Xiao Shen did not mention these reactions, which means that Song Chun was not poisoned. If he was not poisoned, what could it be?

She took two hasty bites of rice, and then the official came again: "Sir, the results of this year's cotton evaluation are out. Excluding the cotton seeds, there are 30 kilograms of top-grade cotton."

Song Yuan quickly took the official documents from the officials' hands and said, "Have they been separated?"

"We are still discussing. There is a lot of high-grade cotton this year. In order to ensure the price, the yamen first placed a batch and only took half out for merchants to bid. According to the usual practice, an extra part of the pressed batch will be allocated to the In terms of benefiting the people, according to the current bidding calculation, as long as this year's top-grade cotton is sold, it can make up for this year's water conservancy repair funds. When the other two-grade cotton is sold, in addition to the share handed over to the court, the grain misappropriated in advance can also be used. Make up.”

Song Yuan nodded: "Yes, this year's cotton harvest is good. By the way, has the official document from Jiuquan been delivered?"

"The official document has not been sent yet, but I have received news that the flax in Jiuquan has also been harvested, about four to five hundred kilograms. Excluding the part handed over, the rest has been purchased by the Mu family's caravan, and the money has been settled."

Song Yuan was relieved: "That's good. When the autumn harvest is over, we have to ask several county magistrates to come. Many things need to be taken care of carefully."

An Zhoushi said immediately: "Your Highness, don't forget about your wedding in the twelfth lunar month."
