see you tonight princess

Chapter 139

After Duan Lingge returned to Zhaoli City, now the Hanlin Academy gave civil and military officials a big blow.Immediately after she rushed back to Zhaoyang Palace non-stop, she began to get busy. She summoned her confidant Zheng Zuocheng, the chief assistants of the Political Council, Criminal Council and Military Council, and Li Ru, Minister of Industry, to discuss matters.

The imperial power of the Duan family has been left behind for hundreds of years. Now that Duan Lingge wants to take back the power, how to appease and dispose of the aristocratic family he has won over the past two years and today will require great wisdom.

It was going well.When it was late at night, Duan Lingge was finally tired. She waved the ministers who were discussing affairs away: "Go down."

But Zheng Zuocheng didn't leave right away. After everyone had left, he cupped his hands and said, "The princess will carry out the new policy, and I will die, but the franchise of salt and iron in Zhaoli City and the governance of the fief... er, my minister." I thought it should be treated extra."

"Zheng Zuocheng, he doesn't know how to lead by example, if he doesn't set an example, how can he convince others." Duan Lingge said softly.

"The minister himself is naturally a leader, but the minister has become the retainer of the Huanggu. Whether it is a franchise or a fief in Zhaoli City, it has been dedicated to His Royal Highness, the eldest princess of the Huanggu. You and the Huanggu are the closest relatives of the royal family, so naturally It cannot be equated with other people." Zheng Zuocheng said.

Duan Lingge remained calm, but her indifferent demeanor showed her anger.Xia Lusi poked her head at the door and took a look, and knew that Duan Lingge was angry.

Xia Lusi sneered, no wonder Duan Lingge was angry, the old fox Zheng Zuocheng was a political opportunist, he voted for the side of Emperor Aunt Duan Lan and Duan Lingge to fight Xia Mengfu.He defeated Xia Mengfu and other aristocratic families, but when the means of reform touched his interests, he wanted to gain privileges.

To put it bluntly, his vision is only to compete with Xia Mengfu for the position of controlling the government and ruling the world.

Some people are angry with her wife, but Xia Lusi is very angry.Xia Lvsi walked into the hall and said loudly: "Zheng Zuocheng's words are wrong. A country is a country, and a family is a family. Since the decree is issued, it is natural that there will be no exceptions. If there are exceptions, come today. My aunt, my uncle will come tomorrow, and my grandma will come the day after tomorrow, and the whole world is my princess's relatives, so whether or not this decree should be implemented, is it a waste of work?!"

"You, you! How can you say that, it's completely different. The son-in-law is from the Xia family, how can you talk about this matter!" Zheng Zuocheng was so angry that he wanted to point at Xia Lusi's nose.

At this time, Li Ru saw Xia Lvsi running in, and he also turned around and ran back.He hurriedly stopped him and said with a smile: "Zheng Zuocheng calm down. Although the son-in-law is from the Xia family, she is the princess' first wife and the princess's bedside person. If she makes unreasonable remarks, you are the imperial aunt's retainer and you are talking about the emperor's status." Isn't the matter of the aunt's fief just a wild idea in a wild opinion."

"If you do this, you want the queen to be special, not obey the government order, and violate the law first. You are trapping the queen in a place of infidelity and injustice!" Li Ru smiled, holding a cauldron without hesitation Buckle it on Zheng Zuocheng's head.

"Ah, ah, ah! You are talking nonsense, you are talking nonsense!" Zheng Zuocheng.

Duan Lingge gave Zheng Zuocheng a cold look, and said in a low voice: "My son-in-law is young and mischievous, so it's just nonsense. Since it's all nonsense, Zheng Zuocheng will go down, and I will just treat you as nonsense. Or Say, do you want me to tell you carefully?"

"I dare not, I will resign." Zheng Zuocheng naturally heard the threat in Duan Lingge's tone, and dared not do it again.

Xia Lvsi secretly reached out her hand, Li Ru patted it, and she patted Li Ru, "Yeah!"

Zheng Zuocheng felt heartbroken, and left angrily and panicked.

Xia Lvsi waved Li Ru back, and then went forward to hold Duan Lingge's hand with a smile: "Sister, are you tired? I'll take you back to the palace to rest."

Duan Lingge sighed lightly and said coldly, "Go back."

"Hey, sister, why is it so cold?" Xia Lusi took Duan Lingge's hand and led her outside, putting her head on Duan Lingge's shoulder: "Sister is so fierce, your wife is here to pick you up from get off work , you are not happy, give her a hug and praise her for being so good?"

Duan Lingge was tired and blocked at first, so she was not very happy, but Xia Lvsi was so good at coaxing her, a few words finally made Duan Lingge's face calm down.Duan Lingge smiled and said softly, "Okay, I'm not unhappy. What is off work?"

"Haha, it's just after get off work. In the era when I came here, I worked diligently as a worker for a day, and when the time came, I had to go home from work." Xia Lvsi smiled: "Otherwise, the boss will pay such a small salary. Make him work day and night."

Duan Lingge covered her mouth and chuckled: "Then, who will pay me?"

Xia Lvsi was startled, and then laughed: "Ha, so you are the boss! Then I am the laborer, the princess sister pays others wages, and they serve you tonight, I will "do it" well..."

The gentle laughter in the night, the low-pitched coaxing went further and further away.

"Aren't you ashamed... Didn't you say that you won't let me give Yuanbao anymore..."

"Then give it..."

Xiao'e blushed and became irritable when she heard that, alas, her princess was originally such a reserved and simple person, but now she feels that she is being misled by her son-in-law.Xiao'e sighed: "Oh, how could Madam Xia have been crazy for 20 years before, when she was not crazy, she was too good at coaxing the princess!"

Xiaozhuzi quietly leaned over and said, "Sister Xiao'e, tell me, do I also come to pick you up from get off work?"

Xiao'e smiled, "Go, go, you are still at work with your salary. You are talking like you came here to pick me up from get off work. You want to take advantage of my sister. Be careful that I will stab you to death."

Xiao'e pulled out the silver hairpin from her head and tried to poke it into Xiao Zhuzi's hand, so scared that Xiao Zhuzi yelled: "Don't dare, don't dare! Hey, let me say, is your hairpin poking the one of my family's heir?! "

But at this moment, after the curfew time, Zheng Zuocheng is still discussing secretly in Huanggu Duanlan's Spring Shou Palace.Zheng Zuocheng was spitting all over the place, and the crowd was furious, but he saw that Duan Lan never said a word, just kept playing with a piece of beautiful jade with a strange shape.

Zheng Zuocheng called her: "Your Highness, Your Highness! You should say something and show your attitude! The eldest princess relied on you to achieve this great situation, but before things are done, she monopolizes the power and does not do it for you. Thinking about it, she will cut off all those fiefdoms, serfs, and those salt and iron franchisees, all of which are your private property!"

Duan Lan had been silent at first, but was annoyed by Zheng Zuocheng, and finally couldn't help reprimanding him at this moment: "You still remember that I am Your Highness! This matter, at this time, what's the use of forcing me?! The power in your hands is not real, Qin Ou The military power in my hand is unstable, my financial resources are not rich, and any trump card is half-baked, what can we do? Now is not the time to dispute with her."

"In matters of financial resources, the Saintess Princess sits on the national treasury, and Xia Lvsi is there to help. It is really difficult for us to rely on the development of the fief. Unless that... Your Highness, please make a decision early and get the national treasure. Why worry..." Zheng Zuocheng stepped forward to explain in detail.

Duan Lan snorted coldly, and slammed the vulture-shaped jade handle on Zheng Zuocheng's forehead with one hand: "This matter is also half-baked. I will consider it carefully as appropriate, don't worry about it. This is the top-quality jade produced in the Mobei Grassland , you take it. I know what you reported, hurry up and find the "Six Commandments"!"

"Of course." Zheng Zuocheng took Baoyu, put the item in his arms, and quietly left the door of the Spring Shou Palace, his back slowly disappearing into the night.

—————————————

On the second day, when Duan Lingge got up early in the morning to go to court, Xia Mengfu actually said that he was sick and couldn't come.Xia Mengfu has ruled the court for 20 years, and even Duan Lingge's father, the emperor, could only listen to him when he was alive. If Xia Mengfu didn't come to the court, there would be nothing to do at the court meeting.

However, this day Duan Lingge took this opportunity to issue the decree drawn up the day before, showing the world her determination and her power by means of thunder.

Duan Lingge has been busy with political affairs, while Xia Lvsi kept counting the treasury. An endless stream of silver went out from her. And the money out of the account is like running water.

However, not long after Xia Lusi was busy, the prime minister's mansion sent a servant over, and when he saw Xia Lusi, he said that Prime Minister Xia was in poor health and suffered from a headache, so he asked the son to go back and have a look.Xia Lvsi heard that yesterday when the old man cunningly stirred up the muddy water and left yesterday, he was shouting and dizzy. Although she didn't take it seriously at the time and thought the old man was just pretending, but on the second day, he still said that he was ill. Really mad.

Xia Lusi then left for the prime minister's mansion.When Xia Lvsi went to Prime Minister Xia's mansion to find her father, Xia Mengfu was sitting in the gazebo by the waterside pavilion, sitting on the Arhat's couch, cocking his feet and teasing the thrush with a small piece of bamboo. Cotton handkerchief.

When Xia Mengfu saw Xia Lvsi coming, he quickly threw away the small bamboo piece, hugged his head and lay down on the Luohan couch: "Ouch~ah~yo!"

Xia Lvsi walked into the gazebo, sat on a stool beside the Arhat's couch, and said with a smile, "Father, what's wrong with you?"

"Alas, the family is unlucky, the daughter is not like the father, the state has treacherous officials in power, and there are women seizing power. It's a troubled time. The old man sighs and is angry all night, so he is seriously ill, alas!" Xia Mengfu lay on the couch. sighed.

Xia Lvsi grinned: "Isn't it just a headache? What serious illness did it come from? Father, don't worry, it will last for a thousand years. Hehe, you will live a long life. Let me rub it for you, massage it, Keep it for a while and it will be fine!"

Xia Lvsi stretched out his hand to hold down Xia Mengfu's head, and massaged him.Xia Lvsi was born with supernatural powers and was full of ingenuity. In addition, in order to give massage to his beloved princess and sister during this period of time, he specially found an old Chinese doctor to teach him. After a while, Xia Mengfu was so comfortable that he groaned.

The more Xia Mengfu thought about it, the more angry he said: "We are like this now, isn't it a perfect relationship in the world? My good daughter, why do you bother to hang around that princess, she is a woman, she is not your good match, you should at least be a queen, you But you suffered a great loss, don’t you know? What’s more, you still helped her and dealt with your father, your ancestors even forgot about it?”

Xia Lvsi reluctantly persuaded: "Father, she is the king, and you are the minister. Even though you have all kinds of abilities and put in a lot of effort, but you bear the infamy of bullying the lord, why bother. Besides, since she is the regent princess , She wants to control power, she wants to realize her political ambitions, this is a perfectly normal thing, you don't want to fight with her anymore, wouldn't you work together?"

"You know what a fart!" Xia Mengfu was so angry that he threw the handkerchief in his hand on the ground and complained: "I also have my political ambitions! Why don't I bear thousands of lives on my shoulders?" ?! If I lose, you are the eldest son of the Xia family, and you will be the first person they will not let go. Who do you think I am fighting for? If I lose, how many people will be killed? implicated?"

"If I lose, can Duan Lingge let me go? Can the mortal enemy that the Xia family has formed for a hundred years let me go? A country must always have ministers capable of governing the world. If it wasn't for me, would it be relying on Zheng Zuocheng's mob? Establish him, and destroy him if he is not worthy, his Duan clan has been incompetent bastards for a hundred years, who can blame him?" The more Xia Mengfu spoke, the more impassioned he became: "Don't make it clear that whoever is right is right, Duan Lingge only seized power because of her. As for my own ideals, this old man has my own ambitions, she has her own ambitions, and we each rely on our abilities!"

"You are so quick to swear, your head doesn't hurt anymore!" Xia Lvsi smiled helplessly.Neither Xia Mengfu nor Duan Lingge could convince the other.

"Hmph." Xia Mengfu was still angry, "Headache is very painful. Keep pressing!"

Xia Lvsi signaled him to lie down, but before he could continue to press, Xiao Zhuzi came into the gazebo on his knees and bowed his waist: "My lord, the servant of Feiyan Pavilion is here."

"Is the servant coming to pick me up? Oh, you tell the servant that I have something to do here, and I will send a message to the princess, and I won't be back for lunch, and I will go back later." Xia Lvsi said coolly Yes, he acted a little aggressive in front of his father, not at all like a child.

But Xiao Zhuzi said: "Uh, but the servant came to pass the news, saying that the princess has a headache."

Very cool, Xia Lusi, who had no love for children at all, immediately jumped up from the wooden armchair, she frowned and wrung her hands nervously: "Oh, oh, why did I do it again? I haven't had a headache for a long time, why is it so sudden! Dad, you're fine, I'm leaving, I'll go back and have a look first!"

After Xia Lvsi finished speaking, she lifted the hem of her skirt and ran away with the sound of footsteps.

Xia Mengfu got up from the Arhat couch at once, but after all, he couldn't match the young man's mobility, so he got up and looked closely at Xia Lvsi, who was almost gone.Xia Mengfu was so angry that he threw the handkerchief he picked up just now on the ground again, blew his beard and stared, and said, "Do I seem to be okay?! You are heartless, come back to me!"
