The late spring night breeze blows in through the window, carrying with it the fragrance of flowers.
The sparse bamboo outside the curtain sifted the moon's shadow, vaguely hiding it.
Han Qing was lying lazily on the big bed in his bedroom, holding a book of war in his hand, but his mind had flown to nowhere.
The feud with the Red Lotus Sect had come to an end as of that night half a month ago.
Yu Bolian was in a coma and was sent to the sea ship by her favorite apprentice Ye Qinglian. It is estimated that the master and apprentice will never set foot on the Song Dynasty again in their lifetime.
The Chunyang Sect's troubles have been basically solved. Although its leader Lu Ziming is still hiding in Tibet, with Ding Wei's ability and eagerness to perform meritorious deeds, he will probably be able to dig this person out completely and avoid future troubles forever.
As for the assassination of Zhang Wengong, the truth came to light after the defeat of Yang Xingyan. Those captured navy scoundrels, in order to avenge their crimes and meritorious service, had already explained the entire process and all the details of the case clearly.
With the confessions of the scum of the Navy and the captured backbones of the Chunyang Cult, a series of crimes committed by the Yan family and the Yang family in Qingzhou in recent years have gradually come to light.
Even if these two major families showed the courage of a strong man to cut off their wrists, and even threw out their direct descendants to take the initiative to top the vat, they still could not completely wipe out the entire family.
As for the imperial court, even if there were high-ranking officials deliberately shielding Yan, the Yang family could not turn a blind eye to the crime. With the end of the war, the treatment of these two families will be quickly implemented.
If nothing unexpected happens, several of the principal criminals will not escape death. Most members of the two families will be forced by the government to move to Hainan before autumn comes, and will never be allowed to return to Qingzhou.
Compared with the legal era that Han Qing experienced in his previous life, the Song Dynasty court's treatment of the Yan and Yang families involved in the case was obviously too light. However, this is the best result that can be achieved at present.
The status of scholar-bureaucrats from the Yan and Yang families ultimately failed to protect them. For a long time to come, all the "scholar-bureaucrats" on Jingdong East Road will consider the consequences to avoid bumping into each other again when they prey on the common people.
Another Han Ti Xing.
…
All in all, after several months of hard work, Han Qing finally did almost all the serious things he needed to do.
Next, he could finally handle official duties with "normal" efficiency like most civil servants of this era.
And with the pace of life in this era, I'm afraid he can't do more than ten official duties that need to be handled in a timely manner every month.
With the speed at which he works, he only needs to spend about one day each month in the Criminal Investigation Department and the Crane Control Department, and he can handle everything. The remaining days can be spent "fishing" with peace of mind.
"I wonder if my grandfather has received my letter? Counting the days, he should be on his way to Qingzhou now." Now that he has time, Han Qing plans to settle down and sort out his life.
He and Dou Rong had shared weal and woe, and they would definitely stay hand in hand till the end of their lives, never leaving each other. After experiencing the ordeal of being kidnapped last time, the last trace of estrangement between Xu Ziling and him had completely disappeared.
Although influenced by the concepts of his previous life, Han Qing would occasionally feel guilty. He felt that he should not have Dou Rong, so he accepted Xu Ziling.
However, now that the three of them have come together, and Dou Rong himself does not reject Xu Ziling's existence, the guilt in his heart has become less and less each time, and gradually, he has completely followed the Romans.
Since he was doing as the Romans do, his marriage must be put on the agenda.
The folk customs in the Song Dynasty became increasingly conservative. Pregnancy before marriage would be greatly criticized even in the families of officials. And contraceptive methods in this era were very scarce. If one day, Dou Rong or Xu Ziling was not careful, Dou Rong or Xu Ziling would become pregnant.
Having a baby is a big hassle.
Therefore, since both parties are mutually willing, it is only right to get married as soon as possible and drive legally. It is obvious that things have already happened, but they are still delaying the wedding. Regardless of the perspective of the previous life or the perspective of this life, in Han Qing's opinion, it is
Scumbag.
In addition, Han Qing also hopes that through his marriage, he can drag his grandfather Han Guogui out of Bianliang City as soon as possible.
Although he was unable to honor Han Guigui like a true grandson. However, as he had become one with the former owner of his body, his feelings for Han Guigui in his heart were far greater than those of ordinary relatives and friends.
Ye Qinglian said that the leaders behind the three sects of Honglian, Chunyang, and Maitreya were in Bianliang. Han Guogui himself also said that there is a huge whirlpool hidden in Bianliang City.
Having shared Han Jiajun's body, Han Jiajun's martial arts and knowledge, and Han Jiajun's connections, Han Qing must have the obligation to inherit Han Jiajun's responsibilities.
This responsibility, as far as he is concerned, is to drag Han Guogui from Bianliang to Qingzhou, away from the place of right and wrong in Bianliang!
Occasionally, Han Qing thought in his mind that he wanted to find an excuse to drag Kou Zhun to Jingdong East Road. However, he quickly nipped this idea in the bud.
Kou Zhun is a famous figure through the ages!
Although Han Qing's knowledge of history was average, he knew that Kou Zhun did not die in a coup. In other words, no matter how big the vortex in Bianliang City is, it would not affect Kou Zhun's personal safety.
And if he forcibly pulls Kou Zhun out of Bianliang City, I am afraid that the "vortex" will completely lose control and directly overflow to other areas outside Bianliang.
If he's not careful, he will backfire.
"Kou Laoxi will definitely be fine. We haven't reached the Chanyuan Alliance yet? The moment when the Chanyuan Alliance happened was the most glorious moment of Kou Laoxi's life." Worried about Kou Zhun's safety, Han
Qingjiu will inevitably search through his memory for the most glorious description of Kou Zhun that he knows.
The Chanyuan Alliance must have been signed when Kou Zhun was prime minister. But now, Kou Zhun has just returned to the central government and performed his duties as prime minister, so the Chanyuan Alliance must have not happened yet.
In other words, if the wheel of history had not been completely blown into the ditch by his butterfly, Kou Zhun's personal safety would not have been a problem before the Chanyuan Alliance was signed.
In that case, why should I worry about him?
What's more, even if he worries about it, Kou Zhun may not be willing to accept it. After all, he is the prime minister of a country, so he cannot hide in other places and never return to the capital!
"Let him go, Kou Laoxi is such a smart person. He will not be killed easily!" Han Qing let out a long breath and decided not to think about Kou Zhun at all.
There was a saying in my previous life that I shed tears when reading about the Three Kingdoms and worried about the ancients. But just now I was looking at the history book, trying to figure out whether Kou Zhun would die due to a conspiracy. What was the difference between crying when reading about the Three Kingdoms?
Thinking of this, he stretched again, threw the military book on the table beside the bed, and prepared to take a nap first.
Unexpectedly, the door of the room was pushed open gently, and Xu Ziling tiptoed in with her long, freshly washed hair and a tray in her hands.
She had obviously just taken a shower, and there was a scent of flowers all over her body. There were also faint waves of water in her eyes.
Han Qing immediately forgot all the important things in the world, smiled and moved his body to make a space on the bed, "It's so late, why haven't you gone to bed yet? As for Rongwa, has she fallen asleep or is she still working hard again?
Learn from female celebrities?”
"My sister discussed with me the number and style of wedding dresses all night. I was a little tired, so I went to bed first." Xu Ziling's eyes flickered, and she bent down to put the tray on the low table next to the bed. It was made of silk and had a long undergarment.
It made her figure look convex and concave. "Before going to bed, I asked my concubine to bring Han Lang a pot of hot tea."
As she spoke, she took out the teacup and teapot from the tray, poured a cup, raised it to her eyebrows with a smile, "You must be tired, sir. Let's drink a little to relieve our fatigue."
"Yeah!" Instinctively sensing that Xu Ziling was looking for something to do with her, Han Qing smiled and took the tea cup, holding it to her mouth and sipping slowly.
When the "tea" entered my mouth, I suddenly felt a familiar aroma of wine. I lowered my head and took a closer look and saw where the tea was. It was clearly grape wine sold from the Western Regions! Because there was no way to remove the sugar like in later generations, the taste was
It's quite sweet, very much like the old port he drank in his previous life. (Note: Port wine, a type of wine, is extremely sweet.)
"How is it? Do you like it, sir? I and my sister went out to buy this thing, so they were accidentally snatched away by Yu Bolian." Looking up into Han Qing's eyes, Xu Ziling explained softly.
So that's it! Han Qing suddenly realized, and her heart was suddenly filled with tenderness. Just as she was about to say a few words of comfort, she saw Xu Ziling pouring another glass of wine, holding it in front of her forehead, and saluting herself, "Thank you, sir, for saving me."
"
"You don't have to be so polite. Since you and I are husband and wife, of course I can't just watch you being snatched away!" Han Qing was stunned for a moment, then shook his head with a smile.
"I am not being polite to the husband, but I am glad that I did not make a mistake in my bet." Xu Ziling also shook her head, solemnly raised the wine cup and touched it with the wine cup in his hand, "I respect the husband with this wine.
Respect yourself too.”
Without waiting for Han Qing's response, she asked with a smile, "Mr. Wang, do you remember the letters I wrote to you? The first time I met your husband, I knew I could trust him with my life, so I kept writing letters shamelessly.
, lest the husband forget his identity."
Her face suddenly became rosy, but she looked up at Han Qing's eyes and continued to add, "I just wrote three or four letters, but my husband didn't reply to the last one. Sometimes, I really
I was very disappointed. I vowed never to write a word again, but after crying, I couldn’t help but want to pick up the pen and write a letter to Mr. Lang.”
"I thought at that time you just wanted to discuss poetry with me!" Han Qing felt so sorry, took a sip of wine and explained with a smile.
"I don't blame my husband, I just blame myself for being timid. I obviously like my husband, but I don't have the courage to say it out loud." Xu Ziling shook her head, her eyes sparkling.
"You are so courageous. You dared to hit the knife with your neck. How could you be so timid?" Han Qing was moved when she heard this. She stretched out her hand and gently hugged Xu Ziling's slender waist.
Xu Ziling sat down obediently and drank all the wine in the cup. "Actually, I had another poem at that time that I especially wanted to write to my husband. I was just afraid that people would peek at it, so I didn't dare to write it."
"Which sentence?" Han Qing was curious after hearing this, so he drank a glass of wine and asked with a smile.
"It's true, it's true..." Xu Ziling suddenly lost her courage again and stuck her head directly on Han Qing's family. It took a long, long time before she whispered, "It's true of Li's words about banishing immortals. He was drunk in his arms at the tortoise-shell banquet.
