Two Hundred and Twenty-Six: The gentleness of arbitrary act

It rains outside, and it rains in winter, even if it is light rain, it is still chilly. Wen Wan doesn't go out and just reads quietly in the house. When she is tired of reading, she lies lazily on the bed. She squints her eyes and may she may shed her health or sleep again.

Wen Wan stayed in the backyard and was leisurely. After a few days like this, Lord Mi Xiang, who lives in the Princess's Mansion, noticed something was wrong. He said to the outside world that he was seriously ill and could not handle government affairs, but except for the two imperial physicians who were stationed in the Princess' Mansion, no other imperial physicians came in and out of the mansion. Even these two imperial physicians looked as usual, without any abnormality. If the princess was really ill, they would not be so leisurely.

Mi Xiang didn't know what happened. The princess didn't even care about the government affairs. But this time, no one heard Mi Xiang's complaints. Wen Wan didn't see him at all. Lord Mi Xiang was so worried that his hair was about to fall out. The government affairs had been piled up for three days. If the princess continued like this, the court would definitely be in chaos.

On the evening of the third day of Wenwan's strike, the weather was fine on that day. Wenwan walked around the yard to digest food after dinner. Suddenly, an uninvited guest appeared in the yard.

This time Wen Wan was not as scared as last time. Looking at the extra person in the yard, Wen Wan chuckled and said, "If I were bathing now, would you come in without hesitation?" Wen Wan was ridiculing Tianlong.

Tianlong was in a disadvantage: "It's because his subordinates are abrupt." With his profession, he could not come in from the main entrance of the princess's mansion in a swagger. He would let people come to see Wen Wan again.

Wen Wan sneered: "Dangqi? You are Lord Tianlong from Shenji Camp, how dare I say you are abrupt?" I think this is the first time Wen Wan has been plotted like this in so many years. She is worthy of being the capable general of the emperor's uncle, and her courage is even greater than that of heaven.

Tianlong's scalp was numb, and countless people have dealt with him in the past few years. He has never encountered such a thing. Cough, he was careless and could only let the princess deal with it: "Princess, the princess should not deceive the princess, but let the princess deal with it."

Wen Wan smiled sweetly: "I really let it be done?"

Tianlong's heart trembled when he saw Wen Wan smiling like the warm sunshine in spring. This time he was really doomed. He never underestimated Princess Wen Wan's method of punishing people: "Yes. If the princess is allowed to deal with it, he will kill and cut it. Tianlong is absolutely right."

Wen Wan said happily: "I dare not kill you. You are the emperor's uncle's capable general. If I kill you, wouldn't it be that the emperor's uncle's arm will be cut off. So if I don't kill you, I won't cut you alive." Wen Wan has been thinking about Tianlong's handling these days and nights. It is impossible to kill him. Because of this, the emperor's uncle will not agree. Of course, Wen Wan will not kill him. But how to punish him? For example, if you hit forty sticks, even if you cut forty sticks for forty sticks, you probably won't frown too much. So Wen Wan thought of a more vicious way.

Well, Tianlong is sure that Wen Wan is determined to punish him severely, so that he will die if he is worse than life. Well, I just hope that you won’t use that method.

Imagine is beautiful, but reality is cruel. Wen Wan said with a smile: "I think you should know that I advised Li Yi last time how to let the person in charge of the thief's intelligence speak. In this way, you can also taste his life, which is a life like a god. After three months of eating, it is your ability. If you can't bear it, you can't blame me." Even the emperor can't tell me about the way to deal with it like this.

Tianlong knew the power of poppy very well. The other party's intelligence leader was professionally trained and his willpower would not be much worse than his. But he was told by the princess' gentle method, and he said everything he was trying to do. He asked them to apart the last hidden dangers.

Now the county chief eats poppy, which is actually more cruel than killing him. If anyone wants to say that the princess is ruthless, he will definitely kill all these people. But this time the mistake has been made, and no matter what the result is, he will suffer. Not to mention eating poppy, even killing him now is not enough: "As long as the princess can vent her anger, not to mention three months, even three or five years, his subordinates will have no other words."

Wen Wan sneered: "I hope you don't imitate Li Yi and act lip service." Don't agree to him now, then turn around to coax him.

Tianlong hurriedly said, "Princess, since his subordinate agrees, he will definitely not regret it. If he doesn't believe it, the princess can send Xia Yao to supervise his subordinates."

Wen Wan snorted and said nothing. Such things cannot be faked. At that time, drug addiction will occur, can you still pretend?

Tianlong dared not talk to Wen Wan any longer. Now in Tianlong's heart, Princess Wen Wan is more terrifying than the emperor. She used to be easy to talk, but once she took a ruthless move, not everyone could defend this method. Tianlong was thinking about Xia Yao's words and took out a thick letter from his arms: "Princess, this is a handwritten letter between Xia Yao and the two young masters."

Wenwan glanced at Tianlong coldly. After all, she took the letter. Wenwan first opened it with Mingjin's letter. Wenwan saw Mingjin's letter and wrote the letters with great enthusiasm, she knew that the disease was really cured and there was no big problem.

Mingjin said in the letter that he missed his mother and dreamed of it. He hoped to see her mother as soon as possible. Then he would have to eat Western pastries made by Wenwan. He would have to eat them when he came back and prepare the ingredients. Mingjin wrote happily, but Wenwan was crying as he watched. The two children left for so long, and finally waited for the letter.

Wen Wan saw that Mingjin was fine, and Mingrui and Xia Yao's letters did not look at Tianlong in front of Tianlong: "When Mingrui and Mingjin arrive in Beijing safely, you will start eating. As far as you have done your best to protect my two children, I can also be given a lighter punishment. You just need to eat half of the dose of that person and reduce it to two months. If you can't stand this, it will prove your incompetence." No matter what, as long as the child arrives in Beijing safely. Although Tianlong plots against her, no matter how you say, there is hard work without credit.

Drug addiction is both serious and light. She has cut half of the dose. She should be able to withstand such a huge burden. If she can't resist it, it also proves that such a person should give up.

Tianlong now knows why Xia Yao said she would waste time and let her two children write letters. If there were no these two letters, the punishment would not be reduced. It could reduce the dose by half and reduce the time by one month. It was also a great blessing in disgrace. Otherwise, Tianlong would really not be confident that he could stand it. Although Tianlong had never seen that, he had heard of it, and it was a terrible sight. It was not that the princess was not cruel, but generally he was not cruel to others. If he became cruel, no one could compare to it.

After solving this matter, Tianlong asked Wenwan carefully if she should re-administer. Wenwan said disdainfully: "Why do you have to worry about my affairs? Go down!" Shenjiying was amazing, but she did not violate the law, and did not do anything that was unfavorable to the court and the people. She had a good attitude in the past and respected this organization, but she did not expect that this respect would be taken advantage of in the end.

Tianlong didn't dare to speak too much and immediately flashed.

Wen Wan waited for Tianlong to disappear, and snorted coldly. She entered the room. First, she spread out Ming Rui's letter. Ming Rui talked about his experiences along the way. She said in detail. Then she talked about what happened along the way, and how long it would take to come. Finally, she asked Wen Wan to ensure her health and they would come back soon.

Mingrui and Mingjin did not mention the assassination at all. Both of them deliberately avoided this process. Mingjin didn't want to recall it, and Mingrui didn't want Wen Wan to worry.

Xia Yao did not have any taboos in this regard. She made it clear about the assassination. Except for Mingrui forcing Mingjin to face the tragic situation, she said everything she should say. Xia Yao knew Wenwan's temperament, and the more she said it clearly, the more relieved Wenwan was. Ambiguous words would make Wenwan feel uneasy.

At the end of the letter, Xia Yao said that she knew about Xia Ying and the other two concealing this matter. Although Xia Yao didn't know what Wen Wan did at that time, she would definitely not be as gentle as before when she stepped on the thunder.

Xia Yao's suggestion is definitely required. But I hope Wenwan will not release Xia Xiang and Xia Xian now. Xia Yao is not giving up Xia Ying and Xia Xiang. Xia Yao also made his concerns clear. There are very few people around Wenwan now, and these three people are the ones that they need to use the most.

No matter what, Xia Ying has a high status among the secret guards and has been in charge of intelligence for so many years, which is not something Qiu Yun can match. In addition, Xia Xian is specialized in the kitchen and is very clear about Wen Wan's diet and washing, but there is nothing more reassuring about the kitchen than leaving it to Xia Xian. Although there is an apprentice, there will definitely be mistakes in such a hurry. When Xia Xian teaches her apprentice, she will marry Xia Xian out and it will be fine. Finally, it is Xia Xiang. Xia Yao knew that Wen Wan likes flowers very much, and flowers are placed in the house all year round. She said that it would be comfortable to look like this. Xia Yao felt that if Wen Wan was really impatient with Xia Xiang, she could put Xia Xiang in the flower room. Xia Xiang did such a taboo thing and criticized her in the flower room for flowers, plants and trees. First, she would not waste Xia Xiang's ability, and secondly, she would not worry about anything about the flowers sent to the house in the future.

Xia Yao said at the end that Ba Chao did nothing wrong. She just had to end up well. Otherwise, she would suffer from future troubles. It was not good for Wen Wan and Bai Shinian, and it was not good for both children.

At the end, Xia Yao told him that he asked Tianlong that Tianlong was good at making decisions and the emperor did not know about it. Xia Yao didn't say much, just telling Wenwan about it. If she said too much, it would make Wenwan annoy. Whether Wenwan believes it should be up to her to judge.

Wen Wan looked at Xia Yao and chattered for a long time, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect Xia Yao to become such a mother-in-law." Wen Wan said this, but there was a warm feeling in her heart. Xia Yao really thought about her.

In the past few days, Wen Wan has obviously felt uncomfortable. First of all, Wen Wan asked Qiu Yun for something. Although Qiu Yun didn't know anything, she answered it barely and was unsatisfactory. She hadn't eaten all the meals in the past few days. It doesn't matter if the flowers were, but she didn't even look at them at all. But Xia Yao's concerns were also right. She almost got hit back then. She still had to have a proper talent. Now that she sent them out, it really made her very inconvenient.

Wen Wan thought for a while, but shook her head.

Wen Wan was puzzled. Since Xia Yao had thought of all the rules and regulations, why did she still frighten Mingjin? There must be something she didn't know about. When Xia Yao comes back, she has to ask clearly. This matter seems small and may cause great disasters.

After Tianlong came, Wen Wan did not restore the government. However, she also eased her attitude, which was to let Mi Xiang deliver the urgent memorials. The urgent memorials accounted for only one-fifth of all memorials. After a few days, there were quite a few.

Wenwan didn't read it herself, so she asked Ling Xi to read it to her. After listening, she expressed her opinions on how to deal with it and asked Ling Xi to write it on it.

Ling Xi opened her mouth wide and said, "Auntie, let me write?" Isn't this too nonsense when he asked him to review the memorial? Ling Xi was unwilling to do so, but in Wen Wan's cold eyes, she surrendered. She wrote Wen Wan's meaning on the memorial. Then she took the jade seal and put it on it, and then took Wen Wan's private seal from Wen Wan to stamp it.

In one morning, I only processed the 30th memorial. The effect was not average, but the difference was too bad.

When Tianlong got the news, he knew that the princess was waiting for the emperor's reply. This time he was really struggling with the thunder. However, although the princess's punishment method was a little more vicious, the emperor knew that it was hard to punish him again. However, it was still unknown whether he could resist this time.

The people following Tianlong were a little reluctant to see that Tianlong was really going to eat poppy food mixed with poppy: "Sir, do you really want to eat it?" No one didn't know about the power of poppy, and the people from the Shenji Camp and the Secret Guards. The princess's move was really too ruthless. It was even more ruthless than killing people directly!

Tianlong shook his head: "This time I violated the princess's re-scaling, and the princess gave a punishment. If I don't accept this punishment, what do you think of the princess?" Tianlong is sure that the princess will not punish him anymore. But the princess can have a way to make him worry and fear, that is, give up.

Tianlong has seen people who are greedy for money and have seen all kinds of people, but he has never seen a princess who is not afraid of heaven or earth and dares to act recklessly. Those who are greedy for money and need power are not scary. The most feared thing is that the princess wants nothing. When the princess gives up, without the princess' help, the court will not be like this now. Now that the war is over, the national treasury is empty and needs the support of the princess. The emperor also wants the people to be rich and the country is strong. If the princess and the emperor have a falling out, these will become empty.

Tianlong didn't dare to use Bai Shinian and his two children to coerce Wen Wan at all. If this is true, then it would be not as simple as the princess giving up. It is likely that the jade was broken and the tiles were broken. Tianlong smiled bitterly. It was the first time that he had encountered such a tough guy in so many years!

Mi Xiang looked at the memorials reviewed. Hum, the words were completely different. The words were very straight, but very awkward, without a gentle style of writing. At first glance, it was written by the young age. Fortunately, the content of the review was not leaked. Mi Xiang muttered in his heart why the princess asked His Highness Ling Xi to write for him. In fact, he could find a professional person to write for him. The emperor is old and often does this.

Mi Xiang thought that Wen Wan was less than 30 years old and would find a professional ghostwriter. She would be at least 60 or 70 years old, otherwise there would be no rift. She immediately put this idea behind her. Although Wen Wan's speed of reviewing memorials is so fast that she can't be too fast, it is better than in the past few days.

On the evening of the sixth day when Wen Wan was in a semi-strike state, Wen Wan finally waited for the emperor's handwritten letter. The emperor knew very well where her bottom line was. Tianlong stepped on her bottom line this time and had to give her an explanation. If the emperor did not give her a satisfactory explanation, she would go on strike completely. Not to mention the government affairs, she would quit even in business.

The emperor's reply did not explain too much about this matter. He only said that he sent Tianlong back to help Wen Wan solve the thief. He was also very angry about what Tianlong decided without authorization. Wen Wan decided on how to deal with Tianlong.

The emperor did not blame Wen Wan for the suspension of the court this time, but just asked her to work harder. He would soon arrive in the capital. He would not be so tired at that time. Finally, he pointed out that Wen Wan would choose a replacement. When she had a replacement, she would not have to be so busy. She could retire early and live a life of watching flowers and having a fun bird.

The emperor also understood Wen Wan, so he simply avoided this matter and talked directly about the future. The emperor understood Wen Wan's lazy personality and never wanted to work hard. She just wanted to accompany her husband and son at home. This time she had already made half a guarantee.

Wen Wan curled her lips, but after reading the letter, she refused to deny it. Wen Wan was really relieved. The emperor casually said that it was nothing to do with this matter. If the emperor explained more, the more he explained, the more he felt guilty. Obviously, the emperor was really unaware of this matter. It was okay, it was not fake to see the emperor beloved Mingjin, and it would be good to get such a result.

Replacement, Wen Wan sighed slightly. It’s really hard to find a replacement! It’s really difficult to find someone who satisfies him and has this talent.

After six days of strike, Wenwan finally resumed her morning court on the seventh day. After these six days of relaxation, Wenwan's overall complexion was naturally excellent. Seeing that her face became more rosy, Wenwan felt a little question mark in her heart. Unfortunately, no one had the courage to touch this minefield.

After resting for six days, Wenwan came back to handle government affairs. Looking at the memorials piled up in the study, it is said that she had accumulated thousands of memorials. Wenwan wanted to die. This was purely to abuse her!

The six-day rest resulted in the painful consequences of Wen Wan's review of memorials every day. Wen Wan was so tired that she couldn't lift her whole hand. If it were usual, Xia Xiang would definitely give her a massage so that she could relieve the pain. Unfortunately, the few around her now are not. Cough, it seems that she really has to follow Xia Yao's advice.

The emperor is coming back, and the Minister of Rites came over to discuss the matter of taking over with Wen Wan. Wen Wan means that when the time comes, he will take the court officials to pick up the emperor. However, the court officials will hold a grand welcoming ceremony to welcome the emperor who returned triumphantly and the meritorious ministers.

Wen Wan complained in her heart that the treasury money was already empty due to the two wars and droughts and floods. The treasury that the emperor had been trying hard to accumulate for more than ten years is now empty. At this time, we should be careful in our calculations rather than wasting it.

Wen Wan was very depressed. She sent her to Wen Wan today and told her that the palace here and there needed to be repaired. Tomorrow she said that the palace would need to be repaired. This and that day in the future, she didn't know that she should live a frugal life now. All of these were rejected by Wen Wan. The reasons were ready-made and there was no money. Now she was going to welcome her again, which was another huge expense.

Wen Wan slowly entered the main hall. More than a dozen important officials had already come to the main hall. They were discussing what they would do this time.

The Minister of Rites strongly demanded that it be done in a big way, and that it must be done very grandly so that the world can remember it forever. Wen Wan formed a relative opinion with them, and Wen Wan believed that it was a waste. Some of the other court officials supported the Minister of Rites, and some supported Wen Wan. But most of them were conservative, that is, they remained silent.

Since Wen Wan was in charge, the Minister of Revenue of the Ministry of Revenue has cried to Wen Wan several times. Wen Wan has squeezed him and asked him to find a way to use money. Let the Minister of Revenue become Wu Zixu earlier. The emperor is there, and the emperor will think of a way himself and then increase revenue and reduce expenditure. Now the princess is completely unreasonable. She obviously has a large sum of money on hand, but she doesn't pay any penny. She has been trying hard to squeeze him. The Minister of Revenue of the Ministry of Revenue feels that it is really hard to do things under the princess.

Wen Wan has never paid a penny of private money since taking over government affairs. It’s not that Wen Wan is stingy, but that she cannot give the money. If she gives it, there will be a huge trouble to follow her. She can earn a lot of money for the emperor, but the money she earns is all in the emperor’s private treasury, not the national treasury. These are two completely different concepts of the emperor’s private treasury and the national treasury. The emperor’s private treasury and national treasury are also used. The emperor can take out the silver from the private treasury and use it with her.

It is a completely different concept. To put it bluntly, it is overstepping power. Now the court has not reached the end of its end, but it is just a little difficult for the time being. She does not do anything overstepping power. People outside think that the emperor's private banknote is very rich. In fact, no one is more clear than Wen Wan. Although he earns more every day, the emperor spends more money. There was not much left before. This time it was the bonus from last year. A lot of it was allocated in the previous few times. Now there are not much left.

This discussion lasted for more than an hour. Wenwan felt soreness in her back. Well, Wenwan missed Xia Yao now. If Xia Yao was there, she would definitely give her a massage.

Back in the bedroom, Wen Wan said depressedly: "This war has destroyed all the family's fortune." The old emperor did not save the money, and the one who left it to the emperor's uncle was an empty shell. For more than ten years, the emperor worked hard to make the treasury have a surplus. Because of her, the emperor's private treasury has been full. Well, now the treasury has no money, and there are only three or two left in the private treasury, but she is exhausted to death.

Wen Wan thought in her heart that she didn't know when the matter of expanding the navy would be implemented. According to the current situation of the treasury, it would be difficult for the emperor's uncle to agree without three to five years. But looking at the current war in the coastal area, this matter is imminent.

Qiu Yun saw Wen Wan and fell into thought again. She shook her head at Qiu Wu who brought the fruits on one side, so that Qiu Wu did not interrupt Wen Wan's thoughts.

Wen Wan thought about it in the end and stopped thinking about it. Anyway, the emperor's uncle will be back soon. Let the emperor's uncle think about these troublesome things by himself! This year has been exhausted. (To be continued.
