The happy life of the devil and the devil

After only staying in the imperial camp for one day, the Xuanjia guards rushed to Qingzhou in two groups: more than 800 people escorted the prisoners of war and walked slowly; He presided over the consecration ceremony of the military temple before, buried the dead and enshrined the spiritual throne in the military temple, then turned around and ran to the capital, and joined Yuan Shao's team before the royal driver entered the city.

Yuan Shao, who returned with the prestige of a great victory, was in a good mood.

One thousand against [-], a great victory, Qingzhou added [-] young and strong slaves; by the way, they beat Heishuiwei and the surrounding area, and the Heishui general obediently sent his eldest son to Xuanjiawei. Ten years; the crown prince added a new eldest son...everything is a happy event.

Because of such a relaxed mood, after settling down in the bedroom, he actually dragged Ling Yucheng to wander leisurely through the harem, showing him which palace he lived in when he was young, where and where he entered. Gong and Yan's cousins ​​fought and broke the empress mother's beloved vase... Even if Ling Yucheng laughed at him from time to time, the corners of his mouth could only be raised higher.Of course, it's best not to think about which palace lived in which concubine.

"Well, there is an old pear tree in the Jianing Palace here. When the flowers bloom, the tree is white and transparent, and the whole palace seems to be covered by white clouds. That time I broke the queen mother's vase, so I climbed up that tree and took out a nest of bird eggs, roasted them and brought them to my mother to make amends..."

"What's the result?" Ling Yucheng listened with relish, and caught up with two steps, his eyes shining brightly.In his limited memories of getting along with his mother, there has never been a time when shopping was so lawless, or that life was too difficult to allow him to squander his mother's limited energy like this.At the end of the day, being able to read and read with her mother at her lap, or listening to her play a little tune on that old bamboo flute, is already the greatest enjoyment between mother and child.

"It turned out that it was the divine bird of the Tie Le tribe. The crime was not paid. The queen mother grabbed her ears and carried her to the Fengxian Hall where she knelt for a long time. It was the father who rushed back from the previous dynasty to save me... I don't know if the nest bird is still there. Are you there? By the way, the Jianing Palace is now given to Xiaoshi, let’s go and have a look?" Before he could answer, he lifted his foot and stepped into the gate of the palace.

Ling Yucheng was stunned for a moment, but it was too late to say no now, and he could only keep up reluctantly.Jianing Hall is called a hall, but it is actually a courtyard with two entrances. Behind the main entrance, Jianing Gate, a stone shadow wall about ten feet high stands majestically.The natural stone patterns on the screen wall are piled up like running water, full of interest, Ling Yucheng stopped and watched for a while, until Yuan Shao's voice suddenly became higher-pitched, and then he quickened his pace and walked in.

The huge palace courtyard was terribly quiet. Ling Yucheng walked around the door and stepped into the main hall following the sound of the screen wall. He saw the palace eunuchs kneeling on the ground, the curtains in the room were drooping, and there was an indescribable strange smell mixed with the smell of medicine. It was so choking that people almost wanted to turn around and leave.When Ling Yucheng came in, he just heard Yuan Shao's startled and angry voice: "What, you said that the imperial doctor didn't come for several days?"

Ling Yucheng slowly approached the bed.The child he had rescued with his own hands lay silently on the bed, his small body buried in the quilt, his face was pale, and even though he was asleep, his slender eyebrows were tightly knit together.He stretched out his hand to touch his forehead, the tentacles were hot, but there was no sweat from his forehead to the back of his neck, instead he shivered slightly from time to time, obviously shivering.

Prince?What about the prince...

He always remembers the night when he was parted from his mother. He was drenched in the icy heavy rain all night, watching his mother hug him tightly, and then push him into the hands of several strangers he had never seen before.After being dragged into that resplendent mansion, he cried and shouted all day, and then his eyes went dark...

No doctor, no medicine, repeated high fever and freezing cold, in the dark cabin, he struggled alone for an unknown number of days.On the day he finally came out, someone took him to a strange woman and told him to call that person "mother".

"Your Majesty, calm down." He softly interrupted Yuan Shao's questioning, "Now is not the time to ask why the imperial physician didn't come,—what did the imperial physician say about the little prince's illness?"

One sentence drew Yuan Shao's attention back.Turning his head to look, Ling Yucheng stared down at the sick child, with his palm on the child's pale forehead, his expression was indescribably complicated.If he hadn't really known that this was the eleventh prince he bestowed on the Jianing Palace, just looking at this scene, Ling Yucheng looked more like the child's relatives!

"...and tell the imperial physicians to get the hell out of here!"

Since His Majesty has a decree, all the imperial physicians rolled over at the fastest speed since the order of the imperial physicians.After consulting and prescribing medicine, the little prince's condition quickly improved.Only at this time did Yuan Shao have the time to ask about the reason for the delay in diagnosis and treatment. Unexpectedly, the imperial doctor's order was full of grievances, and he was quite confident:

"A few days ago, the eldest grandson of the emperor had a cold. His Royal Highness recruited all the ministers and others, and detained them in the mansion without releasing any of them. Even if the ministers want to treat the little prince, they must first get the news! If it wasn't for His Majesty's According to the decree, these heavenly ministers are still serving the emperor's grandson in the prince's mansion..."

Yuan Shao felt a tightness in his chest, so he couldn't hold back his breath.

After reading the medical records of the eldest grandson of the emperor and the transfer records of the imperial hospital, it was confirmed that the eldest grandson of the emperor fell ill before the eleventh prince. Yuan Shao had no reason to trouble the imperial physician and waved him away.There was no way to vent his anger, and when the prince finished reporting on the various experiences he had made over the past few months, he poured it out unceremoniously.

"It's not easy to call an imperial doctor from your house - it took three days! Do you know that your brother was so sick that he almost died!"

Crown Prince Yuanqin's face turned pale.It was not easy to get his eldest son. The Crown Princess gave birth prematurely and had difficult labor. She struggled for two days and two nights to give birth to this precious heir. From that day until now, she has not stopped taking medicine.Coupled with the changeable climate at the turn of winter and spring, the newborn baby can't stand it, he has a fever and a cough, and even he himself can't close his eyes overnight at the most dangerous time. What's the big deal here?

Of course... Father would not dare to do this when he was in Beijing.But the emperor is not there, isn't he the biggest prince in the entire capital?

"I dare not," facing the furious father, he could only get up from his seat and kowtow to the ground. "The eldest son is seriously ill, and the son-in-law is so worried that he has no time to look around. He didn't know the news of the eleventh brother's illness a few days later. What's more, the son-in-law sent the imperial doctor there immediately when he heard about it, and he didn't dare to neglect on purpose."

"Don't you dare to neglect on purpose?" It's fine if he didn't make an excuse, but when he made an excuse, Yuan Shao's anger grew even higher. "It took three days to find out that your brother was sick, and then you sent a little guy who didn't understand anything. He couldn't even tell whether Xiao Shi had a cold or a bad stomach. Neglect? Have you asked the doctor? Have you read the prescription? ——That is your brother, not some unrelated child! There is no brotherhood, thanks to you, you are still my prince!"

The word "Prince" hit Yuan Qin's eyes with gold stars.Yes, that's my brother, yes, but how many times have I seen him?Let's not talk about this, Father, how many times have you seen him?If it hadn't been for being rescued from falling into the water last time, Father, you wouldn't have remembered that there was such a person in the palace, right?Or, if it wasn't for that Ling Yucheng who saved him, Father, would you have looked at that little guy more?If something goes wrong, blame me for not having brotherhood——I have been sick since I was a child, Father, have you ever visited me?

By the way, Xiao Shiyi had an accident this time, when the father went to see him, it was said that Ling Yucheng was by his side again!He must be instigating behind the scenes!Definitely yes!

Ling Yucheng, who was considered "definitely instigating behind the scenes", didn't say a word at all.An unplanned battle on the way to Bohaiwei made his return to Beijing almost a month late.In just this one month, since he entered Beiliang, he has been planning and preparing for more than half a year, and he has already begun to carry out one after another:

Zhangtianmu, open fields.Reward land reclamation, and the officials give plowshares to the cattle—the cattle were half-bought and half-falsified from the Xi, Bohai, and Naiman tribes, and the plowshares were brought by Ling Yucheng from Beijiang. All the carpenters and blacksmiths worked for a whole winter - in Beiliang, most of the Tiele people did not do production. Half of the harvest goes up.However, when the decree is promulgated at this time, if the new wasteland is opened, the government will take [-]% as the fee for the ox plow within three years, and [-]% of the tax will be [-]% within five years. tax.

Establish a Baojia and apply for a decree.Five families work as a team, and ten families work together to supervise and picket each other. If one family is guilty, nine families will prosecute, and those who do not report will sit together.Affirm the law, the murderer is killed, the wounded and the robber are punished, all walks of life have their own rules, and private judgments in the village are not allowed.

Promote industry and commerce, reward fishing salt.As the Qijiu River opened, □□geese came, and since the port thawed, seagoing ships from the south have docked at the pier one by one.Sutai's specialty silk was originally sold well in Beiliang, and now with the addition of all kinds of woolen products newly spun from the Xuanjia Army industry, business travelers flocked more and more, and Jin Bo, who managed the accounts of Xuanjiawei, was counting every day. The money is counted and the brows are dazzled.And the [-] slaves who were escorted all the way from the Bohai Sea were immediately thrown into the seaside salt field. Ling Yucheng tried for half a year after distributing the method of drying salt from an ancient book, and now he has finally replaced it. The boiled salt commonly used by local salt farmers, the salt produced is even and delicious, and the cost is more than half of that of boiled salt.The white salt was picked out from the salt field like flowing water, and immediately turned into snow-white fine silver streaks and flowed into Xuanjiawei's pocket.

With so many things to do, even though Ling Yucheng was in the capital, messengers from Qingzhou still kept sending documents every day.Thanks to his good foundation, he wakes up at dawn every day, practices martial arts as usual, goes out during the day to train with his subordinates, and lights up the lamp every day until midnight to criticize.Being so busy, even Yuan Shao really couldn't see it. He gave him a side hall next to the bedroom for him to handle government affairs. Is there any brotherhood?

It took a full half a month before Ling Yucheng took a deep breath from the general affairs.So when Yuan Shao asked solemnly, "Accept that child as your disciple", he, who has been busy for many days and didn't even pay attention to the government affairs, was stunned for a moment, not knowing what to do.
