[Red House] Lixian

The Hanshan fight lasted for a long time, and finally Xuanmen broke the big formation at the cost of falling ten immortals.Situ Yun's army went smoothly to set up camp under the cold mountain, and Wei Qian returned to Daming Palace with pox.

Taking Qingdou to treat the prince, it took another three days for the prince to wake up slowly.

Dimly, I saw a woman beside the table writing with a pen.

The prince regained consciousness and barely sat up.

Wei Qian took a look and put down his pen: "The prince is awake?"

He poured water for the prince, but the prince hesitated, looking at the amber tea and wondering whether he should take it or not.

"Don't worry, there's no poison." Wei Qian said with a half-smile, "If I want to poison you, it won't be when you wake up."

Hearing this, the prince drank it all in one gulp. Because he had been unconscious for several days and his lips were thirsty, he drank two more cups after drinking.

"How long have I been in a coma?" The prince's voice was hoarse and weak.

"The Dragon Boat Festival is over, but it may be the effect of worshiping the Five Poison Gods or spreading realgar, which allowed His Highness to escape from the dangerous period." Wei Qian flipped the prince's collar, saw that the smallpox had already appeared, and nodded in satisfaction.As long as the fetal poison comes out, most of the disease will be cured.

"Has the Dragon Boat Festival passed?" The prince counted the days and suddenly asked, "Where is the father?"

"I didn't let His Majesty come back. Nanzheng is at the most critical moment. No matter how much you miss your father, I can't let your father put down his great career and come back, just to take care of you alone." Wei Qian Shiran sat down again Now, the appearance is dignified: "So I am here to take care of you, it is according to the heart of the Queen Mother and Your Majesty."

"Your Majesty can't get away. Your grandmother is old, and her health is not good these days. If there is a mistake, it will be bad."

Hearing that neither of the two relatives came, the prince felt sour.But there are more national affairs besides the family relationship in heaven. How can there be any personal relationship with children in the current state affairs?Moreover, my grandmother's physical condition is indeed inconvenient.

Wei Qian greeted the maid outside the door: "The prince is awake, please go and invite the imperial physician, be quiet so that no one else notices. By the way, make some digestible food for the prince, and just tell me what I want. The news that the prince has woken up It cannot be passed on.”

"No, just eat some zongzi." The prince's stomach growled, but when he smelled the aroma of zongzi leaves, there were two fresh meat zongzi on Wei Qian's table.

"You just woke up, you can't eat something indigestible like glutinous rice." Wei Qian ordered someone to take away the zongzi and bring chicken soup for the prince to nourish.

The prince drank a small cup of old ginseng, wolfberry and black-bone chicken soup.Wei Qian continued to copy the memorial at the side, revising one or two from time to time, and continued writing on another paper.

"What is Concubine Ning writing?" The prince couldn't help but stepped forward to check.

When he saw Wei Qian's list, he was surprised and said, "You...you dare to meddle in government affairs?"

What Wei Qian wrote was precisely the peace treaty with the Saibei Hu people.

"You are a harem concubine, how do you write these?"

Wei Qian glanced at him: "You can't handle the government affairs these few days, Your Majesty ordered the Empress Dowager to temporarily hold the seal. All the ministers wrote a letter, and the Empress Dowager sealed it. But the treaty with Sebu has not been negotiated. How can the Empress Dowager understand?" These? I have no choice but to personally write out the treaty and discuss it with Khan.”

The prince stood by and studied the treaty written by Wei Qian.There is no such thing as compensation in Wei Qian's contract.This is the [-] treaties written from the memorials of Lin Ruhai and others, and rewritten according to Wei Qian's own ideas.

It is completely different from the treaty that the prince saw that day: "Didn't the court negotiate to pay compensation to Saibei? Why is there no such content?"

"Reparations? Nanzheng is so nervous now, do you still want to send money to Saibei? Waiting for them to use this money to beat us in the future?" Wei Qian was not polite: "If this word reaches His Majesty's ears, you will definitely be shot to death !"

"Khan is in hand, we have the upper hand, and we still have to pay compensation?"

The prince Na Na said: "After all, we broke the contract first, so we must show something."

"Breaking the contract? Breaking the contract? It's what Khan meant to break the marriage, so what does it have to do with us?" Wei Qian looked at the prince, "Prince, you are young and thin-skinned, which makes sense. But why are those elders pretending to be Taoists? Prince, remember, there is no such thing as benevolence and righteousness in this state affairs."

This is Wei Qian's deep experience over the past few years.

Courtiers learn benevolence and righteousness, which is convenient for the emperor to control.To be loyal to the emperor and serve the country is the learning of a courtier.

Seeing that there was no one around, Wei Qian simply said to the prince: "Throughout the ages, although Confucianism has been advocated in all dynasties, and the most sage teachers of Confucianism have been given such courtesy, but to put it bluntly, it is to maintain the rule of the dynasty!"

"Confucianism on the outside and law on the inside, there is no law to govern the country, no army to defend the dynasty, no peasants to support the people, you feed the whole country with the word 'benevolence and righteousness'?"

"Do not make jokes!"

Wei Qian lazily said: "Those old masters, it's enough to use it as a decoration. Listen to them, do you want to subjugate the country?"

The prince was young, and was taken aback by Wei Qian, and what Wei Qian said was similar to what Situ Yun taught him before.

"Confucianism? Emperor, you need to know. The so-called Confucianism, if it is not for the Three Cardinal Guidelines and Five Constant Principles to uphold the rule of our king, why should we be inclined to Confucianism?"

"Why was Confucianism weak in the pre-Qin period? Why was Confucianism strong after Emperor Wu? The key lies in their core ideology."

Thinking of his father's words, the prince was thoughtful.

At this time, Wei Qian finished the contract.Most of the treaties she prepared were trade-oriented.To conduct silk, tea and salt trade with the north, while ensuring trade, it will not allow the north to grow and block the throat of the north.When the north is used to the export of such materials from the south, it will affect their military spirit for the war in the south.

"This treaty is not good for the North, will they sign it?"

"It's all thanks to the prince." Wei Qian said with a smile: "The prince is seriously ill these days, and my palace has ordered people to spread rumors, saying that the priest of Saibei cast a curse secretly to frame him."

"There are endless rumors in the palace, and my palace is adding soldiers outside the Linzhao Hall every day to carry out psychological oppression. These days they are panicked, how can they care about any treaties? They are in a hurry to return to the northern part of the country, for fear that they will be treated as a crime by the palace. The scapegoat was dragged out and chopped up."

"..." The prince was speechless, he knew why his father respected this concubine.In terms of Wei Qian's style of doing things, she is somewhat similar to her father.

This thick black trick...

The crown prince suddenly became dazzled, and Wei Qian hurriedly said: "You just woke up, your body is still not healed, just lie down obediently, don't worry about outside affairs. If you are really worried, tomorrow the Japanese Palace will read the memorial for you, and everything will be left to you. you."

The news of the prince's waking up was temporarily blocked by Wei Qian, who used this to negotiate terms with Khan and abruptly passed Wei Qian's deal.Force them to agree to build an earthen city on the grassland, which will be fully controlled by the imperial court as a place for business and trade.

As for taxes and fees, half of the dividends will be shared between the court and the Khan.

This is the throat of trade between the entire Saibei and the imperial court. Use this place to continuously earn money from Saibei and exploit it a little bit economically.

After signing the contract, Khan and others fled Chang'an in a hurry, for fear that Wei Qian would take advantage of the prince's serious illness to attack them.Rumors and gossip in the womb have been going on these days, such as "killing the barbarians to sacrifice to heaven and living people", "killing the priests of Saibei to save the prince" and so on.

Back in Saibei, Khan finally felt relieved.But what awaited him was a messy grassland.These days, the Central Plains people are provoking conflicts in various places, and various tribes are fighting each other.In order to settle these contradictions, he will need to spend a long time.

Ten days later, the prince recovered from his illness.The second prince also declared good luck.

In June, I don't know why the Empress Dowager was so angry that she thoroughly investigated the Sixth Palace and deposed a large group of concubines.

Jia Yuanchun's position as a virtuous concubine was deprived and demoted to one of the nine concubines, and her status was still below that of Chen Mengyu.However, three of the nine concubines had accidents and were deprived of their concubines.As for the two Bao Lin who took care of the crown prince's recovery, they took the opportunity to become the nine concubines.

"It's actually Concubine Xian?" Xiangling understood a little at this time: "Concubine Xian wants to attack the prince, so her child..."

"Poison yourself." Hong Chun rolled her eyes and helped Wei Qian clean up the Si palace.

Hongchun asked casually, "Speaking of which, my lord, how did you get the prince to report to the empress dowager to beat down the concubine Xian?"

"I didn't say anything, I just told stories to the prince every day these days." Wei Qian smiled.During the period of the prince's recuperation, he helped the prince to read the memorial, and incidentally shared some knowledge of the art of war.

Like bitter tricks?Another example is the folk unofficial history of Empress Wu who killed her daughter?

With a slight hint, the prince thought that he was infected with smallpox, and immediately turned his attention to Jia Yuanchun with suspicion.It can't be Yuanchun clothes, right?Then I found someone to check, Yuan Chun never gave the second prince any medicine that the imperial physician brewed for the second prince.

The prince suddenly realized, but he didn't say anything, instead he called his uncle Wang Zheng.

Wang Zheng is one of the few sensible people in the Wang family.After the two made up their minds, they introduced the concubine Xian into the game, designed to cause a big change in the harem in June, angered the queen mother and cleaned up the entire harem, and those with dirty hands and feet were naturally doomed.

The two Baolin who took care of the prince became concubines, and Wei Qian became the only concubine, which was the prince's reward for the three of them.

"It's Wang Zheng showing his favor to me again." Wei Qian understood the plan of the crown prince and Wang Zheng.Wei Qian has no children, if she has a good relationship with Donggong, it will be a win-win situation.

In the sky above Fengzao Palace, the fire phoenix nirvana became a fire bird after a burst of mourning.There is only one huge red phoenix covering the six palaces, with unparalleled momentum.

Wei Qian thought for a while, and told Hongchun: "The prince is recovering, but you still can't eat greasy food. You take the lotus seed tea that your mother sent not long ago to the prince."

Reciprocity is reciprocal, since the prince admits that she is in charge of the sixth palace, so what if she repays the prince for a stable position in the east palace?
