Prince Regent's Concubine

After the war was over, Xiao Chuyi didn't care about the subsequent affairs. He had his own general to reorganize the army, and then reported to the imperial court to arrange for the troops to return to the imperial court.

Xiao Chuyi and Ling Qingshi returned to Pingzhou, where they met the prefects of the three northern states. Ling Qingshi gave the three prefects the three plans to get rich in the three northern states that he had set up, "My lord and I I will be leaving in a few days, and the people of these three states will be handed over to you, you are the local parents, I hope you will not let down the trust of me, the prince, and the people of the three states."

The three prefects all knelt down and promised that they would definitely govern the three states in the northern border and let the people live a good life.

Ling Qingshi also talked about the plan, nothing is set in stone, you have to learn to be flexible, if you have any problems in the future, you can write a letter to the Prince Regent's House.

After explaining the matter, Ling Qingshi and Xiao Chuyi went to the grassland, met Daiqin and the leader of the small tribe who had made friends with the Zatalan tribe, negotiated a deal with them, and brought back twenty dollars from the grassland. The male horses returned to Pingzhou, and the magistrate of Pingzhou arranged for the horses to be bred. These twenty male horses were the stallions.

After everything was dealt with, Xiao Chuyi and Ling Qingshi set off back to Beijing with the people from the palace.

They said they were going back to Beijing, but as soon as they left the northern border, they changed their way and went to another place.

However, the people from the palace did not bring all of them, only a few hidden guards and Bai Xue.Although they didn't intend to go back now, all the evidence was sent to the capital. Xiao Chuyi felt that the empress dowager did what happened this time, and she wanted to control the three states in the north.

Judging from the information found in Kaiyang County, the queen mother ordered the iron to be transported to the vicinity of the northern border. Xiao Chuyi guessed that she wanted the three states in the northern border to gradually become empty cities, and then she fortunately stationed troops here for training. He even wanted to directly take over the military power of Jingmenguan, and he had the strength to rebel.

Although it was a guess, Xiao Chuyi felt that it was almost impossible, after all, who has such great ability to hide the snow disaster in the northern region completely.

He and Xiao Jingheng had originally discussed the matter of dealing with the Empress Dowager and assisting Xiao Jingheng in power, but Xiao Jingheng changed too quickly, and with the poison, Xiao Chuyi didn't want him to be busy. The evidence was delivered to him. Do you want to touch the Queen Mother? , It all depends on Xiao Jingheng's own decision.

After going out to play for a while, and then returning to the capital, Xiao Chuyi reckoned that Xiao Jingheng and the Queen Mother had already decided the outcome at that time, and after he returned, he would ask Xiao Jingheng to depose him as the regent, and he would be an idle prince.

Xiao Chuyi's thinking here is pretty good, and it was a great pleasure to travel with Ling Qingshi all the way. He also followed the original plan, eating, drinking and seeing beauties, completely forgetting about the capital.

Naturally, I don't know how angry Xiao Jingheng was when he received the news that the regent had taken the princess out to play.

"Presumptuous, what a guts!"

Throwing the letter in his hand, Xiao Jingheng slapped the table heavily, causing the teacups on the table to shake.

"If you say you will stay in the northern border for half a year, you will stay for half a year. You will not take my imperial decree seriously. I will bear with it if there is a reason for it. But now that you have won the battle and will not return to Beijing, you still dare to run away to play without saying a word. What is in your eyes? Is there still an emperor like me!"

When Xiao Jingheng got angry, Zhou Qi was the only one around, and he didn't want more people to know that he couldn't control the regent.

Xiao Chuyi has not been in the court for the past six months. At the beginning, these courtiers were quite peaceful, but as soon as they learned that the regent would not come back so soon, some people became restless, especially the group of people who stood by the queen mother. Tian sang against him, and they also proposed to make peace with Ning Guguo, and Xiao Jingheng was so angry that he wished to chop their heads off on the spot.

Xiao Jingheng also wanted to weaken Xiao Chuyi's power when he was not in the capital. Those who stood by Xiao Chuyi deliberately ignored them during this period of time, and did not reuse them. However, these people did not take it seriously at all, and did what they had to do. Just not as positive as usual.

But in this way, he discovered the problem. These are capable people. After he got rid of them, he couldn't find a more suitable person to replace them. Taking on important responsibilities requires seniority, which means that he will have to rely on these talents for a period of time. Xiao Jingheng doesn't want to see such a situation at all, and he is always on fire every day.

And the people he promoted, some are useful, such as Li Wei, but some are idiots, useless, but because there is no suitable person to replace them, he can only hold his nose and bear it. What about the people who promoted themselves.

And because Xiao Chuyi can have such a great influence on court officials even when he is not in the capital, this makes him even more dissatisfied with this uncontrolled emperor uncle.

The partial person also showed an appearance that he didn't care about power at all and would rather go sightseeing in the mountains and rivers, but Xiao Jingheng became more ruthless.

Zhou Qi brought him a cup of tea to quench his thirst. He didn't know how to persuade the emperor. After all, the regent looked down on you and you were dissatisfied, and you were still dissatisfied if you didn't. It was too difficult to serve. .

Doesn't this just avoid it far away and don't want to serve?

But if Zhou Qi didn't open his mouth, Xiao Jingheng would also ask, "Little Qizi, what do you think I will call them back now?"

Zhou Qi pondered for a while before saying: "Your Majesty, this... I don't know where the prince and concubine have gone. They won't stay in one place for too long when they go out to play. After the imperial decree passes, I'm afraid they will all leave. "

"If the person is gone, then chase after him. Is it possible that I can't find him even if I want to declare an imperial decree," Xiao Jingheng said angrily.

Because he felt that everything was not going well and everyone didn't listen to him, Xiao Jingheng had a lot of temper tantrums recently.

Zhou Qi thought for a while, "Your Majesty, the regent has contributed to disaster relief and repelling the Ninggu Kingdom. You must reward him when you come back, otherwise you may dissatisfy the courtiers. But the current status of the regent is also sealed. There is nothing left to seal, why not let them play outside for a while longer, and let them come back after the limelight of Dasheng Ninggu Kingdom has passed, and then the merits and demerits will balance out, so there is no need to give rewards."

Xiao Jingheng glared at Zhou Qi. What made him unhappy was the reward? What made him unhappy was that Xiao Chuyi didn't take him seriously as the emperor at all, and he could do whatever he wanted.

The most important thing is that there are still a lot of troublesome things waiting for Xiao Chuyi to come back to deal with, not only those people in the court have to warn, but also there must be a conclusion about who blocked the news of the snow disaster in the north.

The news sent back from the Northern Territory is in the hands of Xiao Jingheng, and the point is obvious. Xiao Jingheng also knows who did it, but he feels that it is not good for him to handle this matter. After all, the queen mother is his mother, and he does not want to personally convict her. Then bear an unfilial reputation.

When it comes to identity, the best person to handle this matter is Xiao Chuyi, but Xiao Chuyi ran away, and he was not willing to let go of this opportunity to completely destroy the Queen Mother's line, so he was angry and felt weak.
