The Four Concubines

Chapter 61 Haiyan Heqing Sheng Ziwei 7

Thanks to Tuo Luoshui, Xiao Chuo couldn't care less about worrying after this toss, just looked at the person opposite with hatred.

Does this person know no boundaries when joking?

Luo Shui looked at Xiao Chuo and smiled, and didn't care about Xiao Chuo's complaints. Before Xiao Chuo was about to speak, he yawned and said first, "Ah, it's already this time, I'm going back to sleep."

After Luo Shui finished speaking, he didn't even give Xiao Chuo time to react, so he turned around and left without delay.

Xiao Chuo was stunned for a while before realizing that he was being molested by Luoshui the whole time!

Think of her as the number one beauty in Liaojiang, she has always been alluring!When is it someone else's turn to tease her?

Xiao Chuo gritted his teeth, secretly thinking that one day he would come back!

Hmm... Concubine, don't you feel that something is wrong...

On the other side, the eldest grandson Wuchen had just left the palace, before he got on his horse, when he heard someone calling him behind him.

"General Changsun! General Changsun!" Li Ran shouted while trotting.

Changsun Wuchen stopped where he was, looked at Li Ran who ran up to him out of breath, and asked, "Is there anything Master Li can do with me?"

Li Ran waved his hand, motioning for himself to take it easy.

Li Su, who was following behind, gave a distant salute to Changsun Wuchen, "I'm bothering General Changsun, sister She stopped you and wanted to ask if Master Changsun Wuji is at home."

Although Changsun Wuchen felt a little strange about this question, he still answered truthfully, "Yes."

"Great!" Li Ran, who was relieved, immediately opened his mouth, and explained to the surprised Changsun Wuchen, "General Changsun, don't be surprised, master... oh no, Mr. Changsun is often invisible, I've looked for him ten times, and nine times they were all in vain, it just so happens that you're here today, so I'll ask you in advance."

The eldest grandson Wuchen nodded, "So that's the case, then it's better for the two adults to go with me, I just want to go back."

Li Ran nodded hurriedly, and said with surprise in his eyes, "I wish for it!"

Ever since Changsun Wuji resigned from his position as a middle school secretary, he has become much more comfortable. He usually reads books, walks around, and lives like a rare old man. His state of mind is even more detached.

Whether it is the way of being an official or the way of being a minister, he was too narrow before, far away from the center of power, but he has seen it more clearly.

The change of the aristocratic family is already the general trend. If Yun Xiao does not do it, the future emperor will do the same. He has neither the ability nor reason to keep these dross that should have been discarded long ago.

Simply look away.

But within a few years, this comfortable life was completely disrupted by two little girls. Two little girls from Yushitai's family who entered the imperial court didn't know what they thought last year, so they suddenly came to him to ask about state affairs.

Changsun Wuji admired the two sisters quite a lot in his heart. It took more than courage to dare to take this step, and after several conversations, Changsun Wuji also admitted that these two people really have the ability and mind to adapt to this officialdom.

His worries and fears in the past did not appear. Women who are officials can do as well as them, and even handle some problems better than them.

but!This does not mean that he is willing to accept them as disciples!

The two sisters have completely different temperaments, and the way of dealing with problems is also very different. The elder sister is a well-behaved, upright, always convincing person.

The younger sister is different, she takes a slanted sword, plays cards out of common sense, catches her unpreparedness, and defeats the enemy with one blow.

He didn't want to accept these two "problematic" apprentices at all.

Especially my sister Li Su, who looks gentle and harmless, but actually has more thoughts than anyone else...

Based on the idea that he can't be provoked but can afford to hide, he will not sneak away or drink tea in the past six months. When the time comes, he will go home quickly. As long as he is not "caught" by them on the spot, it means he is very busy. , Did not see, not at home.

But today...

Changsun Wuji looked at the two smiling sisters standing in front of him with a complicated expression, and his elder brother with a gentle expression behind him...

Eh... I forgot to say hello to my eldest grandson Wuchen, and I really didn't expect them to come back together.

"Master!" Li Ran squinted and called out with a smile.

"Who is your master!" Changsun Wuji replied angrily.

The eldest grandson Wuchen looked at his younger brother's dejected face, and realized that he might have "led the wolf into the house" belatedly.

"My lord Changsun doesn't want to accept us as his disciples because he is worried that we will cause trouble for you." Li Su said to the point.

"We can guarantee that no matter what happens, you will not be involved. Master Changsun thinks this is feasible?" Li Su continued.

"Second brother." Changsun Wuchen called out, but didn't say much. The three of them had some exchanges along the way. Changsun Wuchen felt that these two female adults were pretty good, but he didn't understand why his younger brother avoided him like a snake. .

"Hey..." Changsun Wuji sighed, "Okay, okay, come in and sit down."

Changsun Wuji didn't admit anything, he just let the two into his yard.His elder brother has already spoken, how can he refuse, and even if he refuses, it is estimated that Emperor Yunxiao will move out next time. He does not believe that these two people came to him, and there is no one in the palace to give advice.

After serving the tea, the young servant took the initiative to retreat out, and Changsun Wuji took a sip of the tea, "Tell me, why did you come to see me today."

Li Ran hurriedly repeated what happened in Zichen Palace today.

"That's how it happened..." Li Ran said, "I came to see you because I really have a lot of puzzles about it..."

Changsun Wuji raised his hand and stopped Li Ran's words.

Turning his gaze to Li Su, he asked, "What do you think? Answer truthfully."

Li Su put away the faint smile on his face, "You can only see a leopard in the tube."

Changsun Wuji smiled, "You are modest."

Li Su slightly lowered his head, "Your Excellency is absurd, I can roughly understand what the emperor thinks, but I am still a little puzzled by what the imperial concubine did."

"Then tell me what the emperor means." Changsun Wuji said.

Li Su thought for a while and said, "The emperor handed over the matter to the noble concubine. In fact, the noble concubine handled it for the emperor. On the surface, it was not His majesty's means, but the result was the same. After all, it is related to the emperor's reputation, and the noble concubine is the buffer." , neither the government nor the common people can find fault with it.”

Changsun Wuji smiled, "Our emperor is different from other emperors. He never cares about false names. Your starting point does make sense to outsiders, but if you want to tell the emperor that, she probably wants to Laughing at you thinking too much."

"Master! I have an idea." Li Ran glanced at Li Su and said hastily, "I think the emperor's plan is just a trick..."

"Hahahaha." Changsun Wuji smiled happily.

Li Su was thoughtful.

"What are you laughing at! Isn't this a bitter trick? If so many people are dissatisfied with me, then I won't do it!" Li Ran said confidently.

Changsun Wuji looked at Li Su, "The way to be an official is first to fulfill your duties, and second, to figure out what the emperor wants to do. It’s still a matter of personal preference, sometimes you will be misled if you think too much, do you understand what I mean?”

Li Su nodded, "Taught."

Changsun Wuji no longer circled around, "There are two rumors in the capital, one is about the so-called massacre of the city, let alone whether the emperor did it, even if it was, the massacre was also Guangxia royal court, what is the relationship with Daqin? As long as any emperor who has personally conquered has not been stained with the blood of a city, this matter is just taking advantage of the wind and waves."

"As for the second matter, although the emperor is not a prince and is not favored, he is of the royal blood that is officially registered. The authenticity of the existence of the so-called illegitimate child is still unknown. Even if it is true, the illegitimate child is not eligible to inherit the throne Commander, why does the emperor have to kill him."

"These two rumors sound bluffing, but they can't stand up to careful scrutiny. They are nothing but the opponent's tricks against the emperor."

"The real move is on the plague." Changsun Wuji concluded.

"You mean, the imperial concubine mentioned inciting the common people?" Li Ran asked.

Changsun Wuji shook his head, "This is only one aspect, I think this plague itself is a bureau."

"You mean, this plague is man-made?" Li Su's tone was unusually serious.

"This, it can't be... Can things like the plague be controlled by humans?" Li Ran was in disbelief.

"Then can you explain why the plague broke out in the villages in the Jiangnan area at the same time, and these villages are all around the big city?" Changsun Wuji said lightly.

"This...maybe it's a coincidence..." Li Ran answered bravely.

"There are so many coincidences." Changsun Wuji said without emotion, "The explosion around the big city is to put pressure on the big city, but it can't explode in the city because there are too many people in the city. Capable people will discover the cause of this plague, and the countryside and villages are much safer in comparison."

"Then what is the other party's purpose?" Li Ran asked with a frown.

Changsun Wuji only answered two words, "Build momentum."

"Building momentum?" Li Ran repeated.

Changsun Wuji got up, grabbed a handful of millet from a jar at the side, and sent it to the birdcage hanging by the door.

While teasing the bird, he said nonchalantly, "I guess the imperial concubine thinks the same way. Sending the forbidden army is just to prevent the relationship between the people and the city defenders from deteriorating and the situation escalates. Secondly, the forbidden army is used as a cover. It is convenient for the emperor's people to investigate."

"As for the rumors, you also said that they are rumors. If you deliberately clarify them, it will be true."

Li Ran: "Then master, what should we do next?"

"Wait." Changsun Wuji turned back and walked to his bookshelf, took out a book and handed it to Li Ran, "Go back and wait, the enemy is in the dark and I can't do anything."

"Just wait passively like this?" Li Ran was a little unwilling to accept the book. Like Yun Xiao, she didn't like to accept passively, but liked to take the initiative.

"No, hasn't the emperor changed from passive to active? As soon as he goes to court, the whole Qin Dynasty will know that our emperor fell ill and couldn't go to court because he went out to retreat from the enemy. At this time, we are in the dark."

Changsun Wuji looked at Li Ran and shook his head, "You still have a long way to go, you still have to ask me about this matter, Concubine Xiao understood what was going on after listening to a few words."

"Can you compare with the imperial concubine..." Li Ran muttered, receiving Changsun Wuji's gaze, he quickly flattered him, "Hehe, it's because of stupidity that I came here to invite a teacher. "

"Hmph." Changsun Wuji didn't like this, "Go back, the storm is still behind."

……

Spring City.

One of the most fertile cities in the southern part of the Great Qin Dynasty, the city lives up to its name, and the four seasons are like spring.

Spring City is built with tea, and it is the largest city in the south of the Yangtze River where merchants gather.

With the arrival of the new year, Spring City, which was supposed to be full of people, was a bit dead silent. Plague broke out in several villages outside Spring City. The merchants who heard the news took a detour without stopping.

The prefect of Chuncheng became bald because of this...

"Report, sir!" The guard at the gate shouted.

"Speak." The bald prefect of Chuncheng said weakly.

"There is a woman outside the mansion who claims that she can cure the plague and wants to see the Lord."

"Really?" The prefect of Chuncheng suddenly felt that his hair had grown a few strands, "Where is she from? Can you tell me anything specific? Is she some kind of genius doctor or something?"

"This... I don't know about the small ones." The guard at the door scratched his head, his family had a lot of thoughts in his heart, he paused and said quickly, "But the girl said her surname is Zhou, and she came from Pinglang... ..."
