After Shen Qiu learned that Song Shitou was in General Lu's tent, he did not go there to check immediately.

He still cares a lot about his life.

What's more, the military camp was heavily guarded, and Shen Qiu felt that he could easily be mistaken for a spy from the enemy country.

So Shen Qiu decisively told the young lady and let her decide.

After finishing the report, Shen Qiu felt relaxed all over.

After receiving it, Mu Tangxi just asked Shen Qiu to continue monitoring.

The matter of Song Shitou is not too important. The most important thing now is to get closer to General Qi, and it would be best if General Qi could become alienated from Your Majesty.

However, judging from what General Qi just said, before she even took any action on this step, General Qi himself showed signs of becoming estranged from Her Majesty.

All it would take is a little... push from behind for him to cross the line.

Moreover, she and Ji Qichen now live in General Qi’s mansion, so it is very convenient for them to find him at any time.

General Qi only has this one place to live, probably at the emperor's request. Every night, General Qi would return to this place that he felt somewhat repulsed to sleep. Every day he would see those annoying people and hear those words.

To be honest, Mu Tangxi was surprised.

General Qi persisted in this kind of life for several years, and he is still single and in his thirties now. He has not gone crazy and his emotions are still very stable. It is simply incredible.

Mu Tangxi admired General Qi's tenacious spirit.

In her eyes, General Qi was a pearl that had been polished and was only one step away from blooming.

Take the pearl out of the shell and let it shine.

And the emperor was the one who imprisoned General Qi.

It's a bit of an eyesore.

Mu Tangxi felt extremely rebellious in her heart, but she was still helping Ji Qichen apply medicine on his face.

She suddenly felt that Ji Qichen's face was full of misfortunes, as he had been injured once last time.

After applying the medicine, Mu Tangxi picked up a book from the desk and handed it to Ji Qichen.

Ji Qichen took the book with a bewildered look on his face, and when he looked down, it was "The Book of Length and Shortness", also known as "Guiguzi".

Ji Qichen paused, opened it and flipped through it. The contents were mostly about governing a country, deploying military forces, identifying and employing people, etc.

"Tangxi, how did you get this book?"

Mu Tangxi did not answer, but took out another book and gave it to Ji Qichen.

Ji Qichen felt something was wrong and took a look. It was "Zhenguan Zhengyao".

His scalp tingled and he had a vague idea of ​​his future life.

Mu Tangxi rubbed his fingers. These two books were enough. Let’s first see if Ji Qichen has the talent to govern the country and recognize people and use troops.

If he could understand these and put them into practice, she would have many more books for him to read.

Mu Tangxi looked at Ji Qichen encouragingly, "Come on, I believe you will learn it soon."

Ji Qichen: “Ah?”

He still doesn't know where Tangxi got these books? !

Aren’t these books only available in the palace?

He had seen it once before, when he saw the name of one of the books when his father was giving special lessons to the crown prince.

Mu Tangxi's smile deepened. "This is a book I found with great difficulty. You will read it carefully, right?"

"Will do!"

Ji Qichen nodded quickly. He suddenly felt a creepy feeling, as if he would be hated if he didn't agree.

Mu Tangxi concealed the faint light in her eyes and smiled gently at Ji Qichen.

Mu Tangxi asked Ji Qichen to watch it first and he could ask her later if he had any questions.

Then he left the house and walked towards General Qi's study.

She should discuss the issue of refugee relief with General Qi.

Of course, they had more than one thing to talk about.

Ji Qichen stayed alone in the room, looking at the two books in his hands with deep resentment.

Because no one had high expectations for him since he was a child, even if he studied hard, he would be secretly beaten and scolded by his eldest and second brothers, and his food and clothes would be withheld.

Moreover, the precocious Ji Qichen knew very early that his future would be either to die at the hands of the Crown Prince and the Second Prince, or to be imprisoned in the mansion by one of them in order to show brotherly love and kindness to the emperor.

So Ji Qichen stopped studying seriously.

Now Ji Qichen looked at the book in his hand bitterly, and suddenly recalled the first time he studied hard.

He turned to the first page with trembling hands. It shouldn't be difficult, right?

Ji Qichen didn't know that the prince also learned it because of his father's teaching and personal explanation.

Mu Tangxi didn't know either. She had never seen with her own eyes how the emperor trained an heir, so she was also figuring it out by reading books.

When reading a book, if you don’t understand it, read more. If you still don’t understand it, read more.

Once you have it in mind, you can start practicing.

It just so happens that this place is a frontier area and there are soldiers everywhere, which is very suitable for teaching activities.

Ji Qichen, who was studying hard, didn't know that Mu Tangxi had already thought of putting it into practice.

In the study, Mu Tangxi began to ask General Qi, "Why were General Lu's previous instructions very accurate, but he has made mistakes repeatedly in recent years?"

General Qi shook his head. "If there is a difference, before General Lu joined the Crown Prince's camp, it was him, me, and the military advisors who discussed it together."

"But now, General Lu won't discuss it with me anymore. He just asked me to continue studying the changes in the soldiers' formation and training them."

"General Xu was promoted recently and has more than ten years less combat experience than us, so General Lu has never discussed tactics with him."

General Qi frowned. "Logically speaking, General Lu is experienced in tactics and shouldn't have made so many mistakes."

Mu Tangxi took note of it secretly.

She changed the subject. "By the way, General Qi, where do you think we should place the refugees after we help them? They have lost their homes."

General Qi pondered, this is indeed a difficult problem.

"Soldier?"

The military camp provides food and clothing, and if you kill enough enemies, you can gradually get promoted!

Mu Tangxi was silent. Join the army? How could he think of that!

They are a group of old, weak, sick and disabled people, or farmers and scholars. Asking them to join the army is tantamount to sending them to their deaths, isn't it?

"Why not teach them some skills so they can support themselves in the capital."

General Qi quickly agreed, "Very good, let's do as the Third Prince's wife says."

Mu Tangxi smiled politely, "If possible, can you just call me Mu Tangxi?"

General Qi was stunned for a moment, then nodded and agreed, thinking it was no big deal.

Mu Tangxi's smile became more sincere.

She still prefers people to call her by her name rather than the Third Prince's Consort.

It was strange to be called someone else's name, and Mu Tangxi felt a little unconvinced.

But she knew that she didn't have enough power to change all this.

After discussing with General Qi, General Qi provided tens of thousands of taels of silver.

He could only take out these for now. If he did more, His Majesty would find out.
