Cloud window and moon tent, soft jade warm and fragrant.
Zhou Jun, who was lying on the bed, asked softly to the woman in his arms: "Are you feeling better?"
Song Ruo'e rested her head on Zhou Jun's chest, her voice inaudible: "For a moment, I felt like my soul was gone."
Zhou Jun hugged me a little tighter and said: "You always stay in the study on weekdays and don't want to go out and walk around. You don't eat on time and your bones are a little weak."
Hearing this, Song Ruo'e supported her body with both arms, turned over and came to Zhou Jun's body, and asked again: "Erlang, I have something to ask you."
In the room, Song Ruo'e's eyes were bright, and Zhou Jun couldn't help but reply: "What's the matter?"
Song Ruo'e hesitated for a moment and asked: "When we were in Beili, you untied Bai Ling and rescued me, and then you did that to me..." Jie Qin said that it was an ancient method of saving people, but I later read through ancient books
, can’t even find that way.”
Zhou Jun was stunned and a little embarrassed: "Did Xie Qin tell you about that?"
Song Ruo'e: "Xie Qin and I are like sisters. When she first came to Beili, she suffered a lot of bullying. It was me who stood up for her. How could she hide something from me?"
Zhou Jun gestured with Song Ruo'e with his fingers and said: "That is indeed a life-saving method. Look, here is the heart, here is the throat, not only the esophagus, but also the trachea. When a person loses his breath due to external force, the heart
It will slowly stop beating..."
Song Ruo'e looked at the man in front of her, distracted, and didn't listen to much of what was said in her ears.
After Zhou Jun finished explaining, Song Ruo'e said softly: "Ruo'e is able to meet Erlang in this life, but it is a blessing that has been cultivated in several lives... Without you, I am afraid that I would have been a handful of loess in a mass grave."
."
After saying that, Song Ruo'e smiled slightly and put her mouth next to Zhou Jun's ear: "I once heard Erlang say that what you see on paper will eventually make you realize it, but you know that you have to do it carefully..."
After saying that, Song Ruo'e didn't wait for Zhou Jun's reaction and pulled her up into bed.
Xingqing Palace, Qinzheng Palace.
Li Longji, who seldom came here on weekdays, sat on the throne in front of the case. He moved his body uncomfortably, looked at the memorials and literary policies presented on the stage, and asked: "What will the Ministry of Revenue do next year?"
Has the temperature been set yet?"
Li Linfu raised his hand and said: "It has been revised again, and I would like to ask for your Majesty's sanction."
Li Longji: "There are wars in Nanzhao, Anxi, and Hebei, and military pay, food and grass are all critical and must not be delayed."
Li Linfu responded.
Li Longji asked again: "Wang has been on Daqi Trading Road for quite some time. How is the business going?"
Li Linfu: "I heard that many more shops have been added, the trade roads are becoming more and more prosperous, and there is an endless stream of caravans. This year's tax income should be worry-free."
Li Longji nodded and said: "Back then, Daqi Trading Road started from scratch. It took only one year for Zhou Erlang to earn two million yuan. That Wang Fei, who has always been known as a good businessman, took over the business again.
It is a fully-operated government operation, so the taxes paid this year will naturally not be lower than before."
When Li Linfu heard this, he hesitated and hesitated to speak. Finally, after thinking about it again and again, he could only answer yes.
Speaking of Zhou Erlang, Li Longji's mood improved a little, and he asked Yang Guozhong on the side: "How is the sales of Bachuan New Garden?"
Yang Guozhong bowed and said: "Your Majesty, most of the new garden has been completed, all three hundred courtyards have been ordered, and more than 500,000 yuan have been gained, all of which have been transferred to the inner palace."
Li Longji said happily: "After the sale of Ansheng Garden, just as I expected, the second garden is also in demand. Selling houses is really a way to make money. If we inform you, the third and fourth gardens will also be in demand."
Before we start construction, we will send the Ministry of Works to tidy up the Bachuan River, dredge the rivers, and repair the landscape. We must maintain that...what is that?"
Yang Guozhong hurriedly said: "Supporting package."
Li Longji slapped his thigh: "Yes, it's the supporting facilities that make the residents feel comfortable, so more people will come to buy houses." Seeing the crowd singing, Li Longji sighed: "This Daqi Commercial Road,
There is also the sale of houses in Bachuan, which is all the work of Zhou Lang. Without him, the entire Tang Dynasty would have been in trouble due to wars and expenses, and the inner government would have been at its lowest point long ago."
Li Linfu rolled his eyes and said deliberately with a smile: "What your Majesty said is absolutely true. Zhou Jun is really a meritorious official of the Tang Dynasty. As the emperor's son-in-law, he often worked hard and even the princess was not around. We ministers
, you should also encourage yourself to follow suit, so that the prince-in-law can spend more time with the princess."
After speaking, Li Linfu glanced at Yang Guozhong.
Yang Guozhong was already resentful. When he heard Li Linfu talk about Zhou Jun and the princess, he couldn't help but complain in a low voice: "Zhou Jun even took a concubine, and his life is very comfortable."
When Li Longji heard this, he wondered: "Zhou Jun has taken a concubine?"
Yang Guozhong gritted his teeth and said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, it seems to have happened last month."
Li Longji: "Does the princess know?"
Yang Guozhong nodded.
Li Longji was even more curious: "Who is this girl?"
Yang Guozhong: "I heard that one of them was Xiao Qingchan, Zhou Jun's maid and a criminal member of the Xiao family; the other was Song Ruo'e, a famous dramatist in Chang'an."
Li Longji looked normal at first. When he heard Song Ruo'e's name, his eyes widened and he asked unconsciously: "But that talented woman who wrote The West Chamber and The Legend of White Snake?"
Yang Guozhong nodded.
Li Longji: "How could Zhou Jun take her as his concubine?"
Yang Guozhong shook his head and didn't know.
Li Linfu laughed at the side and said: "When Zhou Jun was in the capital of the Ministry of Justice, he was responsible for recording Kan in Beili. It must have been at that time that he met Song Ruo'e."
Li Longji thought about it carefully, shook his head and sighed, and then said with relief: "The man is talented and the woman is beautiful, they are a good match."
After saying that, Li Longji stopped mentioning the matter.
After leaving Xingqing Palace, Li Linfu got on the carriage. When he saw She Hongzhi sitting in the carriage, he asked, "Did you find it?"
She Hongzhi bowed and whispered: "Found it."
Li Linfu nodded slightly.
She Hongzhi suggested: "It's hard to get the news, why not arrange it now?"
Li Linfu shook his head and said: "His Majesty just learned about Song Ruo'e's incident today. If we start now, it would be too obvious, and we have to wait a little longer."
She Hongzhi: "Master, your Majesty is probably very angry right now, so why don't you strike while the iron is hot...?"
Li Linfu said with a smile: "You underestimate the saint too much. No matter how talented and beautiful a Beili concubine is, Your Majesty can still tell the difference between the important and the important. How can you have any grudge against her? What happened today is not the same.
Not to make the saint angry, but to plant a seed in his heart."
She Hongzhi: “Seeds?”
Li Linfu: "Although His Majesty is the king of a country, he is already old after all. Naturally, he is very different from a young man like Zhou Jun. Song Ruo'e's incident is just to raise suspicion in His Majesty's heart and make him realize that he no longer
Being young, there is a gap in my attraction to women."
"To really trigger the break between the saint and Zhou Jun, Song Ruo'e is not enough, but we need a woman with a higher status and more weight."
