Value peace

Chapter 105 Parents' short stories ([-])

Qi Maosheng pursed his lips and sneered a few times disapprovingly.

Ding Hanzhi thought that he was just like Qi Xiao, laughing at Zuo Xiaoyu for "wanting beauties rather than Jiangshan", and reminded him: "My lord, the imperial concubine Gu has been involved in the allocation of military rations, horses and grass on behalf of Kunning Palace so far. .”

Qi Maosheng's eyes were as cold as ice: "Is the information reliable?"

Ding Hanzhi nodded with certainty: "My lord mentioned the relationship between Mi Ji and the imperial concubine to me last time. I found out when I was checking Mi Ji. I was also horrified by the imperial censor, but the empress dowager finally stayed behind, and there was no one in the temple. I checked the income and expenditure accounts of the Mi family in the past few years. Although it is not poor, it is also compatible with luxury No. Later, I accidentally found out that Mi Ji’s personal servant had an account in Dingsheng Bank, and the money in this account was closely related to the household department. We only thought about Empress Dowager Nian's ambiguous attitude towards Mrs. Gu. After careful consideration, we discovered it."

Qi Maosheng's eyes flickered.

Ding Hanzhi said: "And I just got a piece of news that the Lian family in Hainan County is about to marry the Mi family."

Qi Maosheng was slightly startled: "Who and who?"

Ding Hanzhi said: "A girl named Lian Fanghua from the Lian family in Hainan County and Mi Ji."

Mi Ji, it turned out to be Mi Ji, who is going to marry the Lian family. The person Gu Chaorong trusts the most is getting married. What will Gu Chaorong look like when he finds out?

Qi Maosheng was really curious.

Ding Hanzhi added: "It seems to be the needle thread threaded by the Fang family."

Qi Maosheng pondered for a long time: "Is there any new trend in Shengjing?"

Ding Hanzhi thought about it for a while, and said: "The prince has newly accepted a female official surnamed Yu as a child."

The prince took a new concubine...

Qi Maosheng's black eyes shone coldly like jewels, and he said coldly, "That's reasonable."

Ding Hanzhi didn't dare to ask, and quietly waited for Qi Maosheng to speak.

Qi Maosheng's eyes showed a chill: "The last time I went to Beijing to meet the emperor, it was a little strange. I am in my forties, but my eyes are as clear as spring water."

Ding Hanzhi was shocked: "Could it be... Your Majesty, is there something wrong?"

Qi Maosheng nodded: "If my guess is correct, the emperor is either mentally ill or unable to handle court affairs normally."

In the cold weather, Ding Hanzhi had a few drops of sweat on his forehead: "That makes sense."

"That's why the empress dowager allowed Mrs. Gu to live." Qi Maosheng's gaze was like a falcon, "and she also supported Mrs. Gu's ability to handle government affairs. If she drives west, the emperor will not be excluded by the Fang family, or even appear. Possibility of Zen."

"Mother and child are mother and child." Ding Hanzhi also figured out the joints, "but she was afraid that after Gu's birth, he would influence the court and pose a threat to the other family, so she didn't let Gu have a child... Really, You're so scheming!"

Qi Maosheng thought of what Gu Xiyan said to her, "My sister was engaged to Mi Ji once", he sneered a few times: "It's a pity that the queen mother has been in power for too long, she has forgotten, no matter how good a dog is, you will never marry her." Let her be full, and she will come back to bite the master when she is very hungry."

Ding Hanzhi was overwhelmed by this potentially shocking spirit: "In the entire Xizhao Dynasty, only Zuo Xiaoyu saw the strangeness..."

Qi Maosheng pursed his lips again, and said coldly: "I don't know if he sees it, but I know that if Mrs. Gu doesn't understand this truth in her heart and does something superfluous, her days will come to an end. "

Listening to Qi Maosheng's tone, Ding Hanzhi seemed to be more than simply lamenting Gu's fate, and said with a smile, "Does my lord have any plans?"

Qi Maosheng was slightly startled when he heard the words, he was silent for a while, and said: "You really reminded me."

Ding Hanzhi listened quietly and held his breath.

"How is the relationship between the imperial concubine and the family?"

Ding Hanzhi pondered: "Gu Baozhang married the third wife successively. The imperial concubine was born to the eldest lady. She also has a younger sister and a younger brother, both of the same father. The younger sister who married Zuo Xiaoyu is said to have been very young since she was a child. Naughty, he was sent to his hometown in Shuzhou, Jiangnan when he was four or five years old, and he only entered Beijing last year. The only younger brother lives in his grandfather's house in Jiangnan all the year round, and he said he is studying in Songhe Academy." He hesitated , continued: "Gu Baozhang... likes to play with children. It is said that his second wife, Lien, committed suicide because of this."

A strange expression flashed across Qi Maosheng's face, as if a little sad and a little surprised, Ding Hanzhi couldn't be sure what he meant.

"Although the Lian family is the direct heir of the Lian family in Hainan County, because she is the only child, after she got married, the Lian family was inherited by her cousin Lian Xiong... When the Lian family died, no one came to pay their respects. "

Qi Maosheng lowered his eyes and shook his fingers slightly.

"Why do you ask this?" Ding Hanzhi smiled, "But I'm worried that Zuo Xiaoyu and Gu's teamed up..."

Qi Maosheng shook his head.

Originally, I wanted to send a message to Gu Chaorong to let her know that her sister was safe and sound, but Xiyan also had a thought in the future, but now it seems that there is no need!
He is a person who can afford to put things down, and since he didn't bother with this aspect, his thoughts have turned to other places: "Jiang Qingfeng only brought 1000 troops, while Shi Jun had 5000 in his hands. He To keep one-third of the horses is considered a winning number, and now we have to discuss the next step."

Dingzhihan was very used to Qi Maosheng's leaping thinking, so he said calmly, "What do you mean?"

Qi Maosheng pondered for a while: "We must not give up Gaochang, but it is not a problem to always send troops to garrison. Not only does it make us stretched in the deployment of troops, but it also violates our original intention of fighting Gaochang. The best way is of course to use barbarians to control barbarians. , it’s just that the few people I had my eyes on before were too steady and not suitable for the current situation.”

Dingzhihan fully agrees with Qi Maosheng's opinion: "If Shi Jun's troops enter Meizhou and conquer Shihe Town, unless we meet with Chaoting, we will have to withdraw from Jiangzhong County..."

Qi Maosheng smiled and said, "So now I want you to do three things."

Dingzhi Han replied "Yes" respectfully.

"First, send people to Wujun City to spread the news of Zuo Xiaoyu's situation, and encourage people in Wujun City to send troops ahead of time; second, send people to Shengjing to ask our people to propose 'appeasement' at the court meeting; Third, try to establish a relationship with the imperial concubine."

"Two ends at the same time." Ding Zhihan's eyes glowed: "It's best to let Wujun City send troops to Horseshoe Bay and Shi Jun's besieged situation to reach Shengjing together."

Qi Maosheng nodded: "We have the capital to talk about recruiting with the Queen Mother."

"Just where the imperial concubine is?"

Qi Maosheng pondered: "Think of a way to remind her, and don't let her act rashly and lose her life. It's better that she is in the inner court than someone we don't understand suddenly appears one day."

Is Xizhao's imperial concubine Gu Shi?That woman who is tougher than a man?Do we understand?
Dingzhi Han didn't dare to ask.

He was afraid that Qi Maosheng would have some other plans in private.Standing up and nodding, he said, "Master, it's already October 24 today, the time is waiting for no one, I'll do it now!"

Qi Maosheng nodded.

The war is about to break out, and whoever is quicker will benefit from the situation.

"Which..." Ding Zhihan had just walked to the door, but he heard Qi Maosheng behind him suddenly hesitantly say.

He turned around and stood respectfully: "What other orders do you have?"

Qi Maosheng hesitated for a long time: "I heard that your wife was not in good health some time ago, how is it now?"

Ding Zhihan sighed in his heart, but had no choice but to answer: "It's much better."

"Is it a disease that Gao Jinghong was invited to see?"

Dingzhi Han didn't dare to hesitate, he immediately answered "Yes", and then closed his mouth tightly, not intending to discuss the matter any further.

But Qi Maosheng was relentless: "Is she still in the spring?"

"Yes." Ding Zhihan replied helplessly.

Qi Maosheng nodded: "Then you go to work!"

The corners of Ding Zhihan's mouth twitched slightly, but in the end he still didn't say anything, and left Xiao Aoxuan silently.

After Dingzhi Han left, Qi Mao gave birth to Kang, walked around the cold room for a long time, and called "Siping".

Siping trotted lightly into the house.

Qi Maosheng stood there for a long time: "Find out the four ginseng fruits sent by Yongzhou, I will use them tonight."

Siping raised the corners of his eyes and peeked at Qi Maosheng secretly, and found that his face was serious.Siping cautiously answered "Yes".

"Also, call the third master."

Siping looked at Qi Maosheng from the corner of his eye.

Qi Maosheng frowned.

He was even more careful, and responded with a respectful "yes".

"Call me Gong Tao too." Qi Maosheng ordered.

"Yes." Siping stood respectfully with his hands down.

Qi Maosheng frowned even tighter: "Forget it, you call me Gong Tao, I'd better go to the third master's place by myself."

Siping lowered his eyebrows and looked down: "Yes, Lord."

Different from Qi Maosheng's busy life, Gu Xiyan spent an afternoon with Liu Meier in a relaxed and happy mood. She even had the feeling of going back to high school and doing handicrafts at home with her best classmates during the holidays.So when Duan Yingluo made the excuse of going to those nuns to learn the rules at night while lighting the lamps, Gu Xiyan answered absent-mindedly.

She is embroidering a branch.

Using a back-stitch method Liu Meier taught her, carefully trace the outline of the branches.

Each stitch should be embroidered with the same size, as if this stitch is embroidered a little bigger.

Gu Xiyan picked up the embroidered frame and went to the glass lamp to watch carefully.

How nice it would be to have lights!
She sighed, rubbed her eyes, and leaned helplessly on the big pillow behind her.

In fact, the time-traveling life has the hardships of changing from extravagance to frugality, and the quality of life has dropped a lot... Although she was born in the market in modern times, her life is much more convenient than her current life.For example, the issue of bathing, and the issue of going to the toilet... the most important thing is the issue of monthly leave.

It seems that I haven't had a monthly vacation for a long time.

When Qi Maosheng came in, he saw Gu Xiyan's slender brows slightly frowned, her pink and soft lips pursed slightly, wearing a swollen cotton-padded jacket and trousers, blinking innocently like a puppy with a pair of beautiful big eyes. His eyes stared blankly at the glass lampshade on the small table.
