Married to the sick queen after rebirth
Chapter 51
Qin Su drank tea with the imperial concubine Jin and waited for the troupe to pack up before going on stage.
It was still Xiao Yunxia, who had already sung twice that day, and her lunch was useless, and she stood for another afternoon, obviously exhausted, and her singing was not as good as before.
"Pretty well."
The Imperial Concubine Jin didn't seem to be able to see that Xiao Yunxia was in a bad state, and her singing was also lacking.
Qin Su sat beside him and just listened, without answering.
The play was short, and Qin Su and the imperial concubine didn't say anything. When the curtain call was over, Qin Su saw the little Yunxia's figure flicker, and felt something was wrong.
Sure enough, I saw that little Yunxia looked like a butterfly with broken wings.
, shook twice, and fell straight from the stage.
The imperial concubine Jin beside her exclaimed, but Qin Su drank tea slowly, unmoved at all.
Xiao Yunxia didn't directly fall to the ground. In Qin Su's territory, as long as she doesn't want to, there is absolutely no reason for something to happen.
Lu Yan's figure was extremely fast, and when Xiao Yunxia fell down, she supported her firmly, "Your Highness, I fainted."
The imperial concubine Jin was taken aback, but she still hadn't recovered from the shock yet, she patted her heart, "Fortunately, fortunately, something happened almost."
"Take it away."
Qin Su put down his teacup, waved his hand casually, and let the green smoke take him away.
"The performance of today's play was not well sung, and the empress was shocked. Please forgive me, I will sell this useless thing later."
Only then did Qin Su look at the imperial concubine Jin next to him, and lightly decided where Xiao Yunxia was going.
The imperial concubine of Jin frowned slightly, as if she wanted to frown but held back, "Your Highness, this opera singer is not bad at singing, so I'm afraid it's inappropriate to sell it casually like this?"
"What's wrong? The empress is soft-hearted, but I can't see it," Qin Su's eyes were cold, with a cold-blooded look, "Forget it, since the empress has spoken, it's also for the empress to save face, how about the empress tell me how to deal with it?"
The imperial concubine Jin couldn't bear it, but after all, she was a person in Zhengyang Palace. If she spoke, she would really be suspected of overstepping.
"Your Highness is joking. This is a person in Zhengyang Palace. Naturally, His Highness can deal with it as he wants. How can I intervene?"
After a little hesitation, the Imperial Concubine Jin still didn't speak. The relationship between her and Qin Su has just eased recently, so there's no need to be uncomfortable because of an actor.
"Your Majesty's words are not right. The troupe was originally arranged by your Majesty to enter the palace, and now it is in front of your Majesty. This is only reasonable, and it's your Majesty's decision."
Qin Su insisted on asking the imperial concubine Jin to say something.
The imperial concubine Jin has been in the palace for so many years, and she is also a person with a delicate heart. Naturally, it is impossible not to understand the meaning of Qin Su's words. Only now, she finally realizes that she seems to have caused Qin Su some misunderstanding.
"Your Highness's words are wrong. Although this palace is responsible for arranging affairs in the palace, it is recommended by many places or concubines, and then screened. Take this troupe as an example. Sister Concubine Shu's recommendation, coupled with passing the selection process, allowed her to show her face and enter the palace, which has little to do with me."
Inside and outside, the imperial concubine Jin finally understood what Qin Su meant, and she couldn't help secretly blaming herself for coming today at an untimely time, and explained the ins and outs to Qin Su with a smile on her face.
Concubine Shu?
Qin Su knew it in his heart, "So that's how it is. Today's show didn't make your mother listen well, so I'll ask you to listen to it some other day."
"It doesn't matter, it's because I have a lot of things today. Just now, I went to sit in the palace of Concubine Shu's younger sister. When I came back, I heard His Highness singing in the palace. I was a bit greedy for a while, but it caused trouble."
The imperial concubine of Jin Dynasty smiled, but what she said was very meaningful.
After Qin Su sent the imperial concubine Jin out, he looked at Chishui next to him, "Concubine Shu, I remember that Concubine Shu was born in Jiangnan, right?"
"Subordinates will investigate immediately."
Before Qin Su explained who brought Xiao Yunxia, the theater troupe, into the palace, but it didn't happen in a short while. He didn't want to invite Jinhuangguifei to watch the play, and Jinhuangguifei went directly to Qinhuangdao. As I said back, it's just that this candidate is somewhat surprising.
"There's no need to check, send that class leader to Lan Ying... Lan Ying hasn't received a letter yet?"
There are six people around Qin Su, each of whom has their own responsibility and expertise. Lan Ying has always been in charge of some secret affairs and secret prisons, but some time ago, Lan Ying was sent by Qin Su to find Tiansha with Qiu Luan The court has gone, but now there is no one available.
"It should be these few days, why don't you stay..." Chishui understood what Qin Su meant and volunteered.
"Let Cheng Yan go, you go pass the meal, I'm hungry."
Chishui and Qingji are basically responsible for the food, clothing, housing and transportation around Qin Su. Now that Qingji is gone, Chishui is left. No matter how important things are, they have to be put behind Qin Su's meal.
After dinner, Qin Su was still in a low mood. He sat on the couch by the window and read a military book, but couldn't help thinking about the day.
The death of Empress Deren back then caused a big blow to Emperor Yongle, so he simply stopped the draft. There had been no newcomers in the palace for a long time, and there were not many changes. Dare to have any extra thoughts, but it is rare to be quiet for many years.
But what happened to Xiao Yunxia today made Qin Su unable to bear his suspicions. How many people in the harem still have such thoughts?
Originally Emperor Yongle could be regarded as Master Duan Shui, with ten heirs and nine princes, as if lined up, one high-ranking concubine and one concubine, several concubines all had heirs, so it was difficult to compete for favor. There is a lot of slack, but they also won't allow new people to appear, there are not many beautiful maids in the palace, but it saves Emperor Yong Le a lot of trouble from the source.
This was originally something that everyone had tacitly understood, but they never expected that after the harem had been quiet for a long time, someone wanted to make trouble first.
The battle for the throne, as the princes gradually weakened the crown, and Emperor Yongle was aging, began to gradually become more acute, and it was inevitable that some people would want to take the shortcut of Emperor Yongle's bedside wind.
He pinched his brows, Qin Su was still sober before, his father was a peace of mind, he only had to think about the previous court, but he didn't expect that the backyard would start to catch fire quietly.
"Pen and ink serve."
Qin Su put down the military book that he hadn't read for a long time, "I want to write a letter to Second Emperor Brother."
Qin Su is really not very good at matters in the harem, so it can only be handed over to those who are good at it. In the harem, there is no one who has more say than the imperial concubine Jin.
Eloquently wrote on a large sheet of paper, Qin Su wrote down today's events and the problems he found. Except for some scribbled handwriting, there are no other shortcomings.
Satisfied, he handed the envelope to Chishui, "Send it to Xuanyin Palace, and be careful to avoid people's eyes and ears."
Shunli came up with an appropriate solution for this matter, Qin Su finally loosened his frowning brows, and looked at the high moon in a leisurely mood, but he couldn't help thinking of Shen Yi's sleeping face under the moonlight.
The mood that had just calmed down suddenly became tense again, "Chishui, change clothes! I have to go to bed!"
Can't think too much, Qin Su buried his head in the quilt, so that the moonlight could not shine in at all, as if he could deceive himself and others by doing so.
Qin Su was playing hide-and-seek with Moonlight, and Qin Miao received a letter from Qin Su.
Opening the envelope, Qin Miao was full of nonsense when he saw the eloquent speech. He glanced at it briefly, folded it up and put it back.
"At this time, I remembered that my mother is here, it's too late."
The shadow guard accompanying him looked at the envelope on the table, "Your Highness, do you want to send this back to Zhengyang Palace?"
"No, tomorrow morning, send it to Yuqing Teahouse to Ms. Shen in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and then ask her what she means, and ask Ms. Shen to write back, and then send Ms. Shen's letter back to Zhengyang Palace."
Whether Qin Miao's mind was broken or not, he didn't care about Shen Yi's health, so he sent Qin Su's big trouble to Shen Yi directly.
The shadow guard remembered that his Highness had just written a letter to Miss Shen the day before yesterday to let Miss Shen recover from her illness, and then looked at the letter that sent people around today, and did not dare to say more, took the letter and hid back again.
Qin Su slept all night with his head covered. When he woke up in the morning, he felt that something was wrong with him. He yawned and practiced sword skills in the yard. "Why do you feel so tired today?"
"Did your Highness feel cold last night?"
Chishui handed Qin Su a teacup beside him, and saw that Qin Su's expression was different from usual. Qin Su practiced martial arts since he was a child, and his physique was better than ordinary people.
"It should be fine."
Qin Su didn't take it seriously, but shook his heavy head, "Did there be a result last night?"
"Returning to Your Highness, it's Concubine Shu."
Chishui knew what Qin Su was asking. Last night, Chengyan went to interrogate the head of Xiao Yunxia's troupe. As expected, the head of the troupe recruited them truthfully. Their entry into Beijing was facilitated by Concubine Shu. Of course, Concubine Shu also has a condition, that is, to let Xiao Yunxia attract His Majesty's attention, so that she can become a phoenix by leaping from a branch.
"Concubine Shu, she's a bit careless in her actions."
Qin Su was not surprised, but felt that this method was a bit stupid, but it would not be surprising if Concubine Shu was like this, after all, An Sheng had too many lives, so it was inevitable that she would relax a lot.
"Your Highness, what should we do now? That little Yunxia has already woken up."
Chishui asked for instructions.
"Just wait and see what Brother Two Huang has to say, don't worry about it."
Qin Su is now waiting for Qin Miao's news, and it will be all right for her to transfer the troupe to the imperial concubine Jin.
"Today, the palace is free."
Stretching, Qin Su pinched her own neck, just when she was thinking about going to the barracks, something happened to her.
"Your Highness, Eunuch Li is here."
Someone came to report at the door, Qin Su frowned, "Come in."
Just as Qin Su was thinking about whether his father regretted it and wanted the troupe back, Eunuch Li came in and saluted first.
"His Royal Highness the eldest princess, all blessings and golden safety!"
"Excuse me, Eunuch Li is here in this palace, but is there something wrong?"
"Your Majesty, please go to the Imperial Study Room. All the adults and the Fuliang Prince are waiting, saying that they want to give the princess an account to find out."
Eunuch Li didn't dare to hide half a word of nonsense when facing Shang Qin Su, so he explained the matter clearly.
It turned out that this matter was better than Qin Su imagined.
"Let's go, please ask Eunuch Li to lead the way."
Of course, Qin Su knew that Jin Lie would not be able to produce any real evidence, so she probably found a scapegoat, but she also wanted to know who the lucky scapegoat would be.
When Qin Su arrived at the imperial study room, Shen Cheng and many other ministers were already waiting. Qin Su had a rare upright attitude and put on the airs of a princess. After saluting, he sat down in his seat and waited to see Jin Su. Lie how to make up.
The people from the Fuliang mission also managed not to disappoint Qin Su, and talked about the "ins and outs" of the gift explosion incident in a serious manner.
"It turns out that it is Yasukuni, a small place, and dare to provoke Dayong and Fuliang under the friendship between the two countries. They really don't know how to live or die."
After Prince Fuliang finished speaking, Emperor Yong Le nodded very cooperatively.
"This matter is really bad. How dare you almost hurt Her Royal Highness Princess Dayong? In my opinion, it is better to combine the strength of our two countries.
I would like to take this opportunity to deter the surrounding small countries, so that people can see that the friendship between Fuliang and Dayong is definitely not something that can be shaken by clowns. "
Prince Fuliang took the initiative to propose, and Emperor Yongle looked down at Qin Su, "What do you think, my son?"
"Return to father," Qin Su stood up, "I think Prince Fuliang's words are justified, and he dared to be so bold in such a small place, so we should teach them some lessons."
"His Royal Highness, why don't we compete again?" Jin Lie looked up at Qin Su with a smile, looking high-spirited, "Fuliang Dayong each sent 1 horses to attack from both sides of Yasukuni and see who gets to Yasukuni first How about the capital?"
Not only the courtiers of Dayong, but even the people in the Fuliang mission did not expect Jin Lie's proposal, which meant that Jingguo would directly destroy the country.
"What's the stake?"
Qin Su turned around and looked at Jin Lie, raised his chin slightly, full of arrogance and no fear.
"Since you want to gamble, let's make a big bet. Whoever wins the capital of Yasukuni first will own Yasukuni, and there must be no objection."
Jin Lie took a step forward and met Qin Su's gaze.
"Okay, it's a deal!"
Qin Su also did not hesitate at all, and made a bet on the spot.
The two were evenly matched, looking at each other with the same ambition in their eyes.
Regarding the decision of these two people, the courtiers of Dayong and the members of the Fuliang Mission looked at each other in blank dismay. These two people bet on Yasukuni, have they asked Yasukuni's wishes?Have you asked their opinion?
No, it doesn't seem to matter.
Yasukuni is indeed just a tiny place, located on the east side of Fuliang and Dayong, bordering both countries, relying on the sea to separate them, disturbing the borders of the two countries all the year round, it is unbearably disturbing, this is why Jin Lie chose it as The reason for the bad luck, she decided that Qin Su would not care about the life and death of this annoying small country.
What's more, this was a harmless competition between Dayong and Fuliang, the main reason was to resolve the previous conflict between the two countries, and it didn't matter who owned the small piece of barren land in Yasukuni.
The two finalized this competition as if no one else was around, and the matter of Zhengyang Palace was temporarily over.
After the members of the Fuliang mission left, all the ministers stood in the imperial study room, showing no intention of leaving.
"Your Highness, your decision... is too hasty? If Fuliang wins, wouldn't I, Dayong, be making wedding dresses for others?"
Prime Minister Shen stood up first. The people from Fuliang were here before, and they didn't have much to say, but now, the more they think about it, the more suspenseful they become.
"Prime Minister Shen can't trust Bengong?"
Qin Su wasn't annoyed, it wasn't that she was driven into a daze by Jin Lie's shocking method, she had already made up her mind.
In the previous life, Jingguo was a fool on the fence, falling on both sides. When Emperor Yongle died and Dayong's regime was in turmoil, he changed his original low profile and showed his true appearance as a jackal. The coast of Dayong had no choice but to temporarily close the customs and cut off the sea transportation of Dayong, which can be described as extremely abominable.
Although Qin Su is sure that Dayong in this life will not repeat the same mistakes, it is better to find an opportunity to clean up this kind of grass that may become a hidden danger in the future. Now, it happens to be a good opportunity.
But Qin Su definitely couldn't tell everyone about this reason.
"His Royal Highness, it's not that the old minister can't trust His Highness, it's just that the matter is too big. Your Highness should discuss it before making a decision. Such arbitrariness..."
Prime Minister Shen glanced at Emperor Yong Le who was silent all the time, obviously standing on Qin Su's side, so he could only bite the bullet and continue.
"It's not too late to discuss it now. Anyone who has an objection can speak up now." Qin Su was very reasonable and looked at the courtiers with a smile.
The courtiers looked at each other in blank dismay, and Prime Minister Shen's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot. Now that the words have been spoken, they are discussing a fart.
"Isn't there no objection? That's just right. I'll discuss the attack on Yasukuni later."
Qin Su was too much, the reluctance on the faces of all the officials was almost on the face, but she didn't seem to notice it, and casually brought up the topic that the officials didn't want to bring up now.
No matter how reluctant they are, now that the matter has been settled, they can only find a way to deal with it, and the morning of this discussion has passed.
"Your Highness, I have been fighting in Dayong for years, and the treasury has been unable to make ends meet. How can I afford so much military pay?"
Prime Minister Shen frowned again after listening to Qin Su's request for food and supplies, thinking it was nonsense.
"It's okay if the treasury is empty. This Palace has its own solution, Prime Minister Shen," Qin Su looked at Prime Minister Shen who had been contradicting himself from the beginning to the end. For the sake of my father, I couldn't bear it any longer, "Prime Minister Shen, Dayong was shot down by the ancestors from horseback, why now, instead of being obedient, he can't get on horseback anymore?"
Qin Su's hand was pressed on the map on the table, and her hand was the boundary of Fuliang.
"Prime Minister Shen, if you are dissatisfied with this palace's decision to kill first and play later, then it is up to Prime Minister Shen to tell you how to solve the matter just now without using this method? If Prime Minister Shen has a good opinion, this palace is not willing to fight. "
Prime Minister Shen was choked back by Qin Su's words. Based on the situation just now, Fuliang was obviously aggressive. If Dayong showed cowardice, the future would definitely be more difficult. If he didn't show cowardice, it would indeed not be better than now way.
His face turned red, and Prime Minister Shen looked at Qin Su but couldn't say a word.
Emperor Yong Le was sitting in a high position, watching the minister he relied on was about to be pissed to death by his beloved daughter, it was not good to watch from the sidelines, so he could only persuade him to make peace.
"I see that this matter is almost over. All my loves have been tired all morning, so I went back to rest first, and left the rest for discussion tomorrow morning."
Emperor Yong Le had already said this, but none of the ignorant ones dared to speak too much at this time, they all resigned and left the palace.
Although Prime Minister Shen was depressed, he also knew that Emperor Yong Le was looking for a step down for him, so naturally he had no reason to show shame, so he also retreated.
Only Emperor Yong Le and Qin Su were left in the imperial study room, Emperor Yong Le looked at Qin Su, "Xun'er, you don't need to worry about what they say, although the treasury is not enough to make ends meet, but it is still more than enough for this eastward expedition to Yasukuni, you don't have to worry about it. "
"Father, my son is not talking big. This matter really does not require money from the treasury. My son remembers that some time ago, a sum of money was allocated for the expansion of the East Sea Navy, but there has been no movement until now, my son. I thought, it would be better to cancel the expansion directly and use the money as military pay, just to let the emperor see the effect, and when Yasukuni is defeated, the money for the expansion will come back naturally, and it will have to be more than doubled."
When Qin Su was reading the memorial, he had noticed this amount of money. It was not a small amount. It was allocated last year, but so far this year, there has been no splash. It must be something unusual. Maybe a big one can be caught. fish.
Only now did Emperor Yong Le remember this matter, but he was a little bit embarrassed, "Xun'er thinks this can be done?"
"It's definitely possible, leave this matter to my son, and my father can rest assured."
Qin Su had a charter in his heart, and when he promised Emperor Yong Le, he had a lot of confidence.
Speaking of this, Emperor Yong Le was only relieved, "Then, I will leave this matter to Xun'er and let him do it freely."
"My son leads the order."
After the matter was finalized, Qin Su also showed joy, and had lunch with Emperor Yong Le before returning to Jing'an Palace.
At the same time, Shen Yi of the Prime Minister's Mansion also got Qin Su's autographed letter. It has to be said that Qin Su's handwriting is unparalleled in the world, but this free and unrestrained appearance is really hard to understand, so Shen Yi had to copy it once. Look carefully.
Palace matters?
Looking at the letter paper and pondering, Shen Yi was a little bit embarrassed, and why did Qin Su's letter say to ask the imperial concubine Jin, but the letter paper fell on his desk in a blink of an eye?
This matter was strange, Shen Yi didn't dare to delay any longer, and hurriedly asked Ming Xia to send a reply letter stating that Qin Miao was invited to meet.
This urgent letter was sent to the teahouse, and someone in the teahouse naturally sent it to the palace quickly. When Qin Miao saw Shen Yi's reply, he wrote another letter and handed it to the shadow guard.
"Send both letters to Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess."
Qin Miao acted like a post office for letters, instead of solving the problem, he went around throwing the blame around, and in the end he simply brought Qin Su and Shen Yi together and let them discuss it by themselves.
It's a pity that Qin Miao is old and cunning, he didn't say such details in the letter, he just took out the letter from Shen Yi inviting him to meet, told Qin Su that he was not free, and asked Qin Su to go there for him.
How could Qin Su know that Qin Miao had handed the letter he wrote directly to Shen Yi, and now he was still wondering what would happen if Shen Yi invited Qin Miao to meet, why did Qin Miao let himself go instead of him? He looks like he eats, eats and sleeps all day, and the pigs who are sitting, eating and waiting to die are busier than him.
Although he was puzzled in his heart, it was true that this was Shen Yi's personal letter, and the other one was also Qin Miao's personal letter. After thinking about it, Qin Su decided to go and see what was going on with Shen Yi.
When Qin Su first found out about this, Shen Yi also had lunch and was about to leave the house, but happened to be caught by the depressed Prime Minister Shen.
"Ping'er, you just feel better these few days, why are you running outside again?"
"Daddy," Shen Yi stopped, "I'm just going to have some tea, I'll be back later."
"Go."
Prime Minister Shen didn't ask any further questions, but he was somewhat suspicious, and went back to find Mrs. Shen, "Madam, Ping'er has gone out, do you know?"
"Ping'er has been depressed for the past two days, what's wrong with going out to relax?"
Although Mrs. Shen has reconciled with Prime Minister Shen, she still has a knot in her heart. Looking at the book in her hand, she didn't look up at Prime Minister Shen who came over.
"It's just about who Ping'er is with. I still need to find out. After all, Beijing and China have not been peaceful recently."
Prime Minister Shen sat next to Mrs. Shen, wanting to talk to his wife like before, but saw that Mrs. Shen was just looking at the pages of the book, not paying attention.
After touching his nose, Prime Minister Shen had no choice but to stand up, "Then I'll go to the study first."
"Ah."
Mrs. Shen remained calm.
After Prime Minister Shen left, Mrs. Shen closed the book behind her back, and took a cautious look to confirm that Prime Minister Shen had really left, "Cuilan, when Miss Hui comes back, ask Mingxia quietly, where did Miss go? Let the lady and the master know."
"Yes, ma'am."
The maid next to Mrs. Shen responded.
Not knowing what was going on in the mansion, Shen Yi went all the way to Yuqing Teahouse in a carriage. According to the habit, he sat in the same box as before, quietly waiting for Qin Miao to arrive.
Not long after sitting down, there was a knock on the door, Shen Yi was still wondering why he came so fast, and asked Mingxia to open the door, but when he opened the door, he found that the person standing at the door was not Qin Miao, but a strange man.
"My lord, Jin Lie, wants to make friends with Miss."
The author has something to say:
It was still Xiao Yunxia, who had already sung twice that day, and her lunch was useless, and she stood for another afternoon, obviously exhausted, and her singing was not as good as before.
"Pretty well."
The Imperial Concubine Jin didn't seem to be able to see that Xiao Yunxia was in a bad state, and her singing was also lacking.
Qin Su sat beside him and just listened, without answering.
The play was short, and Qin Su and the imperial concubine didn't say anything. When the curtain call was over, Qin Su saw the little Yunxia's figure flicker, and felt something was wrong.
Sure enough, I saw that little Yunxia looked like a butterfly with broken wings.
, shook twice, and fell straight from the stage.
The imperial concubine Jin beside her exclaimed, but Qin Su drank tea slowly, unmoved at all.
Xiao Yunxia didn't directly fall to the ground. In Qin Su's territory, as long as she doesn't want to, there is absolutely no reason for something to happen.

The imperial concubine Jin was taken aback, but she still hadn't recovered from the shock yet, she patted her heart, "Fortunately, fortunately, something happened almost."
"Take it away."
Qin Su put down his teacup, waved his hand casually, and let the green smoke take him away.
"The performance of today's play was not well sung, and the empress was shocked. Please forgive me, I will sell this useless thing later."
Only then did Qin Su look at the imperial concubine Jin next to him, and lightly decided where Xiao Yunxia was going.
The imperial concubine of Jin frowned slightly, as if she wanted to frown but held back, "Your Highness, this opera singer is not bad at singing, so I'm afraid it's inappropriate to sell it casually like this?"
"What's wrong? The empress is soft-hearted, but I can't see it," Qin Su's eyes were cold, with a cold-blooded look, "Forget it, since the empress has spoken, it's also for the empress to save face, how about the empress tell me how to deal with it?"
The imperial concubine Jin couldn't bear it, but after all, she was a person in Zhengyang Palace. If she spoke, she would really be suspected of overstepping.
"Your Highness is joking. This is a person in Zhengyang Palace. Naturally, His Highness can deal with it as he wants. How can I intervene?"
After a little hesitation, the Imperial Concubine Jin still didn't speak. The relationship between her and Qin Su has just eased recently, so there's no need to be uncomfortable because of an actor.

Inside and outside, the imperial concubine Jin finally understood what Qin Su meant, and she couldn't help secretly blaming herself for coming today at an untimely time, and explained the ins and outs to Qin Su with a smile on her face.
Concubine Shu?
Qin Su knew it in his heart, "So that's how it is. Today's show didn't make your mother listen well, so I'll ask you to listen to it some other day."
"It doesn't matter, it's because I have a lot of things today. Just now, I went to sit in the palace of Concubine Shu's younger sister. When I came back, I heard His Highness singing in the palace. I was a bit greedy for a while, but it caused trouble."
The imperial concubine of Jin Dynasty smiled, but what she said was very meaningful.
After Qin Su sent the imperial concubine Jin out, he looked at Chishui next to him, "Concubine Shu, I remember that Concubine Shu was born in Jiangnan, right?"
"Subordinates will investigate immediately."
Before Qin Su explained who brought Xiao Yunxia, the theater troupe, into the palace, but it didn't happen in a short while. He didn't want to invite Jinhuangguifei to watch the play, and Jinhuangguifei went directly to Qinhuangdao. As I said back, it's just that this candidate is somewhat surprising.
"There's no need to check, send that class leader to Lan Ying... Lan Ying hasn't received a letter yet?"
There are six people around Qin Su, each of whom has their own responsibility and expertise. Lan Ying has always been in charge of some secret affairs and secret prisons, but some time ago, Lan Ying was sent by Qin Su to find Tiansha with Qiu Luan The court has gone, but now there is no one available.
"It should be these few days, why don't you stay..." Chishui understood what Qin Su meant and volunteered.
"Let Cheng Yan go, you go pass the meal, I'm hungry."
Chishui and Qingji are basically responsible for the food, clothing, housing and transportation around Qin Su. Now that Qingji is gone, Chishui is left. No matter how important things are, they have to be put behind Qin Su's meal.
After dinner, Qin Su was still in a low mood. He sat on the couch by the window and read a military book, but couldn't help thinking about the day.

Qin Su is really not very good at matters in the harem, so it can only be handed over to those who are good at it. In the harem, there is no one who has more say than the imperial concubine Jin.
Eloquently wrote on a large sheet of paper, Qin Su wrote down today's events and the problems he found. Except for some scribbled handwriting, there are no other shortcomings.
Satisfied, he handed the envelope to Chishui, "Send it to Xuanyin Palace, and be careful to avoid people's eyes and ears."
Shunli came up with an appropriate solution for this matter, Qin Su finally loosened his frowning brows, and looked at the high moon in a leisurely mood, but he couldn't help thinking of Shen Yi's sleeping face under the moonlight.
The mood that had just calmed down suddenly became tense again, "Chishui, change clothes! I have to go to bed!"
Can't think too much, Qin Su buried his head in the quilt, so that the moonlight could not shine in at all, as if he could deceive himself and others by doing so.
Qin Su was playing hide-and-seek with Moonlight, and Qin Miao received a letter from Qin Su.
Opening the envelope, Qin Miao was full of nonsense when he saw the eloquent speech. He glanced at it briefly, folded it up and put it back.
"At this time, I remembered that my mother is here, it's too late."
The shadow guard accompanying him looked at the envelope on the table, "Your Highness, do you want to send this back to Zhengyang Palace?"
"No, tomorrow morning, send it to Yuqing Teahouse to Ms. Shen in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and then ask her what she means, and ask Ms. Shen to write back, and then send Ms. Shen's letter back to Zhengyang Palace."
Whether Qin Miao's mind was broken or not, he didn't care about Shen Yi's health, so he sent Qin Su's big trouble to Shen Yi directly.
The shadow guard remembered that his Highness had just written a letter to Miss Shen the day before yesterday to let Miss Shen recover from her illness, and then looked at the letter that sent people around today, and did not dare to say more, took the letter and hid back again.
Qin Su slept all night with his head covered. When he woke up in the morning, he felt that something was wrong with him. He yawned and practiced sword skills in the yard. "Why do you feel so tired today?"
"Did your Highness feel cold last night?"
Chishui handed Qin Su a teacup beside him, and saw that Qin Su's expression was different from usual. Qin Su practiced martial arts since he was a child, and his physique was better than ordinary people.
"It should be fine."
Qin Su didn't take it seriously, but shook his heavy head, "Did there be a result last night?"
"Returning to Your Highness, it's Concubine Shu."
Chishui knew what Qin Su was asking. Last night, Chengyan went to interrogate the head of Xiao Yunxia's troupe. As expected, the head of the troupe recruited them truthfully. Their entry into Beijing was facilitated by Concubine Shu. Of course, Concubine Shu also has a condition, that is, to let Xiao Yunxia attract His Majesty's attention, so that she can become a phoenix by leaping from a branch.
"Concubine Shu, she's a bit careless in her actions."
Qin Su was not surprised, but felt that this method was a bit stupid, but it would not be surprising if Concubine Shu was like this, after all, An Sheng had too many lives, so it was inevitable that she would relax a lot.
"Your Highness, what should we do now? That little Yunxia has already woken up."
Chishui asked for instructions.
"Just wait and see what Brother Two Huang has to say, don't worry about it."
Qin Su is now waiting for Qin Miao's news, and it will be all right for her to transfer the troupe to the imperial concubine Jin.
"Today, the palace is free."
Stretching, Qin Su pinched her own neck, just when she was thinking about going to the barracks, something happened to her.
"Your Highness, Eunuch Li is here."
Someone came to report at the door, Qin Su frowned, "Come in."
Just as Qin Su was thinking about whether his father regretted it and wanted the troupe back, Eunuch Li came in and saluted first.
"His Royal Highness the eldest princess, all blessings and golden safety!"
"Excuse me, Eunuch Li is here in this palace, but is there something wrong?"
"Your Majesty, please go to the Imperial Study Room. All the adults and the Fuliang Prince are waiting, saying that they want to give the princess an account to find out."
Eunuch Li didn't dare to hide half a word of nonsense when facing Shang Qin Su, so he explained the matter clearly.
It turned out that this matter was better than Qin Su imagined.
"Let's go, please ask Eunuch Li to lead the way."
Of course, Qin Su knew that Jin Lie would not be able to produce any real evidence, so she probably found a scapegoat, but she also wanted to know who the lucky scapegoat would be.
When Qin Su arrived at the imperial study room, Shen Cheng and many other ministers were already waiting. Qin Su had a rare upright attitude and put on the airs of a princess. After saluting, he sat down in his seat and waited to see Jin Su. Lie how to make up.
The people from the Fuliang mission also managed not to disappoint Qin Su, and talked about the "ins and outs" of the gift explosion incident in a serious manner.
"It turns out that it is Yasukuni, a small place, and dare to provoke Dayong and Fuliang under the friendship between the two countries. They really don't know how to live or die."
After Prince Fuliang finished speaking, Emperor Yong Le nodded very cooperatively.
"This matter is really bad. How dare you almost hurt Her Royal Highness Princess Dayong? In my opinion, it is better to combine the strength of our two countries.
I would like to take this opportunity to deter the surrounding small countries, so that people can see that the friendship between Fuliang and Dayong is definitely not something that can be shaken by clowns. "
Prince Fuliang took the initiative to propose, and Emperor Yongle looked down at Qin Su, "What do you think, my son?"
"Return to father," Qin Su stood up, "I think Prince Fuliang's words are justified, and he dared to be so bold in such a small place, so we should teach them some lessons."
"His Royal Highness, why don't we compete again?" Jin Lie looked up at Qin Su with a smile, looking high-spirited, "Fuliang Dayong each sent 1 horses to attack from both sides of Yasukuni and see who gets to Yasukuni first How about the capital?"
Not only the courtiers of Dayong, but even the people in the Fuliang mission did not expect Jin Lie's proposal, which meant that Jingguo would directly destroy the country.
"What's the stake?"
Qin Su turned around and looked at Jin Lie, raised his chin slightly, full of arrogance and no fear.
"Since you want to gamble, let's make a big bet. Whoever wins the capital of Yasukuni first will own Yasukuni, and there must be no objection."
Jin Lie took a step forward and met Qin Su's gaze.
"Okay, it's a deal!"
Qin Su also did not hesitate at all, and made a bet on the spot.
The two were evenly matched, looking at each other with the same ambition in their eyes.
Regarding the decision of these two people, the courtiers of Dayong and the members of the Fuliang Mission looked at each other in blank dismay. These two people bet on Yasukuni, have they asked Yasukuni's wishes?Have you asked their opinion?
No, it doesn't seem to matter.
Yasukuni is indeed just a tiny place, located on the east side of Fuliang and Dayong, bordering both countries, relying on the sea to separate them, disturbing the borders of the two countries all the year round, it is unbearably disturbing, this is why Jin Lie chose it as The reason for the bad luck, she decided that Qin Su would not care about the life and death of this annoying small country.
What's more, this was a harmless competition between Dayong and Fuliang, the main reason was to resolve the previous conflict between the two countries, and it didn't matter who owned the small piece of barren land in Yasukuni.
The two finalized this competition as if no one else was around, and the matter of Zhengyang Palace was temporarily over.
After the members of the Fuliang mission left, all the ministers stood in the imperial study room, showing no intention of leaving.
"Your Highness, your decision... is too hasty? If Fuliang wins, wouldn't I, Dayong, be making wedding dresses for others?"
Prime Minister Shen stood up first. The people from Fuliang were here before, and they didn't have much to say, but now, the more they think about it, the more suspenseful they become.
"Prime Minister Shen can't trust Bengong?"
Qin Su wasn't annoyed, it wasn't that she was driven into a daze by Jin Lie's shocking method, she had already made up her mind.
In the previous life, Jingguo was a fool on the fence, falling on both sides. When Emperor Yongle died and Dayong's regime was in turmoil, he changed his original low profile and showed his true appearance as a jackal. The coast of Dayong had no choice but to temporarily close the customs and cut off the sea transportation of Dayong, which can be described as extremely abominable.
Although Qin Su is sure that Dayong in this life will not repeat the same mistakes, it is better to find an opportunity to clean up this kind of grass that may become a hidden danger in the future. Now, it happens to be a good opportunity.
But Qin Su definitely couldn't tell everyone about this reason.
"His Royal Highness, it's not that the old minister can't trust His Highness, it's just that the matter is too big. Your Highness should discuss it before making a decision. Such arbitrariness..."
Prime Minister Shen glanced at Emperor Yong Le who was silent all the time, obviously standing on Qin Su's side, so he could only bite the bullet and continue.
"It's not too late to discuss it now. Anyone who has an objection can speak up now." Qin Su was very reasonable and looked at the courtiers with a smile.
The courtiers looked at each other in blank dismay, and Prime Minister Shen's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot. Now that the words have been spoken, they are discussing a fart.
"Isn't there no objection? That's just right. I'll discuss the attack on Yasukuni later."
Qin Su was too much, the reluctance on the faces of all the officials was almost on the face, but she didn't seem to notice it, and casually brought up the topic that the officials didn't want to bring up now.
No matter how reluctant they are, now that the matter has been settled, they can only find a way to deal with it, and the morning of this discussion has passed.
"Your Highness, I have been fighting in Dayong for years, and the treasury has been unable to make ends meet. How can I afford so much military pay?"
Prime Minister Shen frowned again after listening to Qin Su's request for food and supplies, thinking it was nonsense.
"It's okay if the treasury is empty. This Palace has its own solution, Prime Minister Shen," Qin Su looked at Prime Minister Shen who had been contradicting himself from the beginning to the end. For the sake of my father, I couldn't bear it any longer, "Prime Minister Shen, Dayong was shot down by the ancestors from horseback, why now, instead of being obedient, he can't get on horseback anymore?"
Qin Su's hand was pressed on the map on the table, and her hand was the boundary of Fuliang.
"Prime Minister Shen, if you are dissatisfied with this palace's decision to kill first and play later, then it is up to Prime Minister Shen to tell you how to solve the matter just now without using this method? If Prime Minister Shen has a good opinion, this palace is not willing to fight. "
Prime Minister Shen was choked back by Qin Su's words. Based on the situation just now, Fuliang was obviously aggressive. If Dayong showed cowardice, the future would definitely be more difficult. If he didn't show cowardice, it would indeed not be better than now way.
His face turned red, and Prime Minister Shen looked at Qin Su but couldn't say a word.
Emperor Yong Le was sitting in a high position, watching the minister he relied on was about to be pissed to death by his beloved daughter, it was not good to watch from the sidelines, so he could only persuade him to make peace.
"I see that this matter is almost over. All my loves have been tired all morning, so I went back to rest first, and left the rest for discussion tomorrow morning."
Emperor Yong Le had already said this, but none of the ignorant ones dared to speak too much at this time, they all resigned and left the palace.
Although Prime Minister Shen was depressed, he also knew that Emperor Yong Le was looking for a step down for him, so naturally he had no reason to show shame, so he also retreated.
Only Emperor Yong Le and Qin Su were left in the imperial study room, Emperor Yong Le looked at Qin Su, "Xun'er, you don't need to worry about what they say, although the treasury is not enough to make ends meet, but it is still more than enough for this eastward expedition to Yasukuni, you don't have to worry about it. "
"Father, my son is not talking big. This matter really does not require money from the treasury. My son remembers that some time ago, a sum of money was allocated for the expansion of the East Sea Navy, but there has been no movement until now, my son. I thought, it would be better to cancel the expansion directly and use the money as military pay, just to let the emperor see the effect, and when Yasukuni is defeated, the money for the expansion will come back naturally, and it will have to be more than doubled."
When Qin Su was reading the memorial, he had noticed this amount of money. It was not a small amount. It was allocated last year, but so far this year, there has been no splash. It must be something unusual. Maybe a big one can be caught. fish.
Only now did Emperor Yong Le remember this matter, but he was a little bit embarrassed, "Xun'er thinks this can be done?"
"It's definitely possible, leave this matter to my son, and my father can rest assured."
Qin Su had a charter in his heart, and when he promised Emperor Yong Le, he had a lot of confidence.
Speaking of this, Emperor Yong Le was only relieved, "Then, I will leave this matter to Xun'er and let him do it freely."
"My son leads the order."
After the matter was finalized, Qin Su also showed joy, and had lunch with Emperor Yong Le before returning to Jing'an Palace.
At the same time, Shen Yi of the Prime Minister's Mansion also got Qin Su's autographed letter. It has to be said that Qin Su's handwriting is unparalleled in the world, but this free and unrestrained appearance is really hard to understand, so Shen Yi had to copy it once. Look carefully.
Palace matters?
Looking at the letter paper and pondering, Shen Yi was a little bit embarrassed, and why did Qin Su's letter say to ask the imperial concubine Jin, but the letter paper fell on his desk in a blink of an eye?
This matter was strange, Shen Yi didn't dare to delay any longer, and hurriedly asked Ming Xia to send a reply letter stating that Qin Miao was invited to meet.
This urgent letter was sent to the teahouse, and someone in the teahouse naturally sent it to the palace quickly. When Qin Miao saw Shen Yi's reply, he wrote another letter and handed it to the shadow guard.
"Send both letters to Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess."
Qin Miao acted like a post office for letters, instead of solving the problem, he went around throwing the blame around, and in the end he simply brought Qin Su and Shen Yi together and let them discuss it by themselves.
It's a pity that Qin Miao is old and cunning, he didn't say such details in the letter, he just took out the letter from Shen Yi inviting him to meet, told Qin Su that he was not free, and asked Qin Su to go there for him.
How could Qin Su know that Qin Miao had handed the letter he wrote directly to Shen Yi, and now he was still wondering what would happen if Shen Yi invited Qin Miao to meet, why did Qin Miao let himself go instead of him? He looks like he eats, eats and sleeps all day, and the pigs who are sitting, eating and waiting to die are busier than him.
Although he was puzzled in his heart, it was true that this was Shen Yi's personal letter, and the other one was also Qin Miao's personal letter. After thinking about it, Qin Su decided to go and see what was going on with Shen Yi.
When Qin Su first found out about this, Shen Yi also had lunch and was about to leave the house, but happened to be caught by the depressed Prime Minister Shen.
"Ping'er, you just feel better these few days, why are you running outside again?"
"Daddy," Shen Yi stopped, "I'm just going to have some tea, I'll be back later."
"Go."
Prime Minister Shen didn't ask any further questions, but he was somewhat suspicious, and went back to find Mrs. Shen, "Madam, Ping'er has gone out, do you know?"
"Ping'er has been depressed for the past two days, what's wrong with going out to relax?"
Although Mrs. Shen has reconciled with Prime Minister Shen, she still has a knot in her heart. Looking at the book in her hand, she didn't look up at Prime Minister Shen who came over.
"It's just about who Ping'er is with. I still need to find out. After all, Beijing and China have not been peaceful recently."
Prime Minister Shen sat next to Mrs. Shen, wanting to talk to his wife like before, but saw that Mrs. Shen was just looking at the pages of the book, not paying attention.
After touching his nose, Prime Minister Shen had no choice but to stand up, "Then I'll go to the study first."
"Ah."
Mrs. Shen remained calm.
After Prime Minister Shen left, Mrs. Shen closed the book behind her back, and took a cautious look to confirm that Prime Minister Shen had really left, "Cuilan, when Miss Hui comes back, ask Mingxia quietly, where did Miss go? Let the lady and the master know."
"Yes, ma'am."
The maid next to Mrs. Shen responded.
Not knowing what was going on in the mansion, Shen Yi went all the way to Yuqing Teahouse in a carriage. According to the habit, he sat in the same box as before, quietly waiting for Qin Miao to arrive.
Not long after sitting down, there was a knock on the door, Shen Yi was still wondering why he came so fast, and asked Mingxia to open the door, but when he opened the door, he found that the person standing at the door was not Qin Miao, but a strange man.
"My lord, Jin Lie, wants to make friends with Miss."
