The Tyrant’s Beloved Empress

Chapter 58

Qi Wei and others had something to discuss with Xiao Zhige, but when they heard that he was back, they hurried to the General’s Mansion. +++Mobile reading visit m.

It was rare to see him in a daze with a smile on his face, Qi Wei couldn’t help but shook his hand in front of him: “General?”

Xiao Zhige returned to his senses, subconsciously constricted a smile, and glanced at him solemnly: “Why are you here? Something?”

Seeing him like this, Qi Wei coughed, and tentatively said, “The general is so happy, but what’s the happy event?”

If there is a happy event, it is better to talk about it and let everyone have a good time. After all, I’ve never seen Xiao Zhige look like this before, and this red face is full of joy.

Glancing at him lightly, Xiao Zhige didn’t need to think about it, he knew what was going on in his mind. But today he is in a good mood, and he has a good temper towards his subordinates. He glanced at him pityingly, and answered his doubts with compassion: “It’s a happy event, but you haven’t gotten married yet, so I don’t understand it.”

Qi Wei: “???”

Lieutenant General Qi was very dissatisfied. Why did this happy event still have to be divided into marriages? What happened to the marriages? Don’t you deserve to have fun with the general?

He was about to argue with the general again, and Xie Ling, who was on the side, gave him an elbow severely. Qi Wei was interrupted in conversation, his face wrinkled with pain, and he glared at Xie Ling fiercely.

I saw Xie Ling lip-synching to him: “Shut up and say a few words less.”

“…”

Vice-General Qi closed his mouth because of grievances, and felt that in this Yanzhou City, anyone could bully him and didn’t take him seriously!

I wrote another note to Xie Ling in my heart. After all, he didn’t pursue the question, changed the subject, and said, “Why didn’t you see the princess today?”

This question hit the heart of the Northern War King. On the one hand, he wanted to let all the subordinates know the happy event last night, but on the other hand, he felt that this was his and Hey’s affairs. It is not beautiful to know more people.

Therefore, listening to Qi Wei’s question, he replied with great restraint: “Last night I slept late, I was tired, and I was still resting in the house.”

Qi Wei, an unmarried boy chicken, couldn’t think of going there. He thought he was talking about Liangzhou Luyuan, and he was tired from the journey, so he nodded in agreement: “Liangzhou Luyuan, hurry back. It’s really tiring.”

Xiao Zhige: “…………”

His face (color) turned dark, and he wanted to say something more, when he suddenly saw An Changqing walking in their direction not far away.

An Changqing got up late today. After waking up, he always felt that the smell of last night still remained in the room. He felt red and hot when he stayed, so he wanted to come to the yard to get some air and wait for the room to ventilate and dissipate the smell. go back.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Zhige, Qi Wei and others were in the courtyard. He paused and saw Xiao Zhige’s gaze come over. It should be that he hadn’t talked about important matters, so he continued to walk over.

Because at home, he only wore a light uniform, his hair was untied, only a silk ribbon was tied around his back, he looked more and more handsome, like the fresh and tender Cui Miao in the spring.

Xiao Zhige greeted him a little anxiously. Qi Wei watched from behind, biting his ears with Xie Ling in a low voice: “I went to Liangzhou now, how do you feel that the princess looks better?”

Look at this white skin, like that white jade of mutton fat. He looked at the two of them talking, enviing the general’s good fortune more and more.

He also really wants to marry his wife qaq.

On the other end, Xiao Zhige frowned and looked at An Changqing with some worry: “How come out? Is there anything uncomfortable?”

“It’s boring in the room, I came out to breathe, there is nothing uncomfortable.” An Changqing shook her head.

Last night, Xiao Zhige was very gentle. Although he was a little uncomfortable at the beginning, he gradually became interesting later. Moreover, he himself also described daily maintenance exercises according to the prescription, and the two cooperated tacitly and were not injured. Now I rested for another night, except for the weird feeling of sourness and swelling, but there is no discomfort.

Xiao Zhige didn’t know what he was thinking. When he saw him shaking his head, his face (color) became a little uncomfortable.

When he was in Yejing earlier, a lot of small notebooks of him and An Changqing had been circulated. He was curious in his heart, and he also looked for two of them. That’s not how it was written in the original script…

It is said that a man with great kung fu can keep people from coming to bed for three days.

But now An Changqing looked like an okay person, the Northern War King felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, and his face (color) was also a little weird. He looked at An Changqing and hesitated several times.

An Changqing noticed his gaze and looked at him suspiciously: “What’s the matter?”

There is no man who doesn’t care about this stuff. Xiao Zhige suffocated and suffocated, and then looked at Qi Wei and the others as far away as he should not be able to hear them, so he lowered his voice and asked in An Changqing’s ear: “Last night …Didn’t you make you enjoy yourself?”

“…”

Unexpectedly, Xiao Zhige would say such silly words in front of outsiders, his face turned red all of a sudden, and he stared at him with annoyance. If it weren’t for the presence of outsiders, he would really be so angry that he wanted to kick this person with his foot.

“Blue sky and white sun, what the prince is saying!”

He glared at him inexplicably, and left in a huff.

Xiao Zhige was in the same place (touching Mo) at a loss, and he didn’t know if it was full of fun or not, but An Changqing was obviously upset, and he couldn’t catch up with him anymore and asked, so he coughed in disguise. , Back to the courtyard pavilion with his hands behind his back.

Qi Wei and the others watched the general’s excitement, looked at each other, and they all tsk in their hearts. It was in front of the princess that the general was so good-tempered. If other people dared to shake their faces, their generals would be too lazy to take a look.

Xiao Zhige returned to the pavilion and sat down, his smile disappeared, he glanced at the two of them, and said with a calm face: “Say, why are you looking for me?”

Although Qi Wei is silly occasionally, he still looks at his face (color) at critical times. He stops smiling when he sees him, so he doesn’t dare to stroke the tiger’s beard any more, and honestly said: “Taifu Temple sent an official document, it needs to be added.’ Fu Lu tax’. Build ninety-nine pagodas to pray for Daye. In addition, the states have to levy five thousand more.”

After the official document was sent, Qi Wei and others were angry and helpless, and Xiao Zhige was not in Yanzhou, so he could only wait patiently for him to come back to discuss.

Qi Wei has a straight-tempered temper, and the words inevitably brought complaints: “There was a severe winter before, and there was war afterwards. The people have not had time to recuperate, and they have to increase taxes and levies. Your Majesty is really, really…”

After all, he was sensible and didn’t say anything that shouldn’t be said.

“And right now, we can’t pay that much tax.” Xie Ling is a little more stable than him. He is in charge of the chores in the city and is more aware of the situation.

“Last winter was severe, the people could not save much rice, and some people even ate wheat seeds. In addition to the late spring, the planting time was delayed. This year the fields will definitely owe crops. If there is a tax increase, I am afraid. It’s even more sad for the people.”

Daye levies taxes, which have always been collected by the local government and then handed over to the national treasury. Now that the national treasury is empty, the Emperor Anqing wants to levy taxes, but the local and the people suffer from a document.

Local governments cannot afford to pay for food and can only exploit and oppress the people layer by layer. Where is taxation, it is obviously scraping the people’s blood!

Because of Xiao Zhige’s arrangement in Yanzhou in advance, the snow disaster is still well prepared. In addition, An Changqing sent some grain and grass in the back, so that he could barely survive. But I heard that in Suzhou, Bingzhou, Qizhou and other places in the north, many people were hit by the disaster, and many people were frozen to death without preparation. Now that it’s hard to get through to the beginning of the spring, the people have not had time to recover from the snow disaster, but they have to deal with more stringent taxes and corvee.

The Emperor Anqing didn’t make an order to appease and rescue the disaster. At this point, taxes should be increased, which is simply treating the people like weeds and driving them to death.

Although Xiao Zhige had heard An Changqing talk about it, but when he heard it, he still felt incredible.

Emperor Anqing did not seem to be absurd in his early years. Although he loved pleasure, he still had some scruples. Since he invited several “immortals” into the palace and began to pursue the path of longevity, he has acted more unscrupulously.

Maybe it was because I thought I was going to win the Dao Dengxian sooner or later, so I didn’t care about this little mortal world.

Xiao Zhige looked down and pondered for a moment, and said coldly: “Let’s drag it first. If Taifu Temple sends someone to remind you… Just cry for the poor, and then ask them for the grain and grass they owe.” The grain and grass that were greedy for ink, too Fu Temple only vomited half of it.

When Qi Wei heard this, he opened his arms and patted (xiong) his heart: “Let me go for this job, I will cry!”

Xie Ling thought more: “But the tax won’t be delayed for long…” Sooner or later, he still has to pay.

Xiao Zhige didn’t talk too deeply to him, but said: “It’s okay, just drag it first.”

Set up a countermeasure, the two left. Xiao Zhige stood in the pavilion for a while before turning back to the main room.

In the room, Changqing An has washed, changed her clothes, and tied her long hair. Seeing his face (color) coming back sullenly, I thought of Qi Wei and Xie Ling visiting the door early in the morning, guessing what must have happened, and looked at him worriedly.

Xiao Zhige sat down beside him, sighed, and said to him, “Here, the last time I had a dream, it really came true.”

When he first came to Yanzhou, An Changqing told him everything he knew from his previous life under the guise of a dream. Although the “Pagoda of Longevity” praying for the Queen Mother has become a “Pagoda” for praying for Daye, the consequences are the same.

An Changqing looked worried: “In this way… something is almost going to happen in Suzhou.”

The turmoil in the last life first began in Suzhou. The defender of Suzhou is Shen Tuxu, the parent and son of the great general of Zhuguo, Shen Tuwei. Shen Tubo has always been loyal to His Majesty, and they can’t even remind them.

Xiao Zhige shook his head, and said in a deep voice, “You don’t have to tell them, at this time…the more chaotic the better.”

He looked at An Changqing, as if thinking of something, he whispered: “Maybe soon, we will be recalled to Yejing.”

“Your Majesty…” An Changqing was startled, her eyes widened slightly.

Xiao Zhige reached out and pressed his lips, and shook his head gently.

An Changqing glanced at him, recalling what he had said to him on the wall.

He said…Emperor Anqing’s fate is not long.

Perhaps motivated by the invented “Mad Dao Ren” (stab ci), Emperor Anqing sent a lot of manpower to look for the Mad Dao man, but he didn’t find the Mad Dao man, but told him to find another expert in the Dao Dao. .

After the expert entered the palace, he offered a bottle of “Returning Spring Pill”, saying that after eating it, he could regain his youth. The Emperor Anqing found someone to try the pill and watched an old man at dusk become radiant and energetic. Although not as amazing as rejuvenating, it was enough to be tempted by Emperor Anqing.

But now, Emperor An Qing has taken this pill for two to three months.

According to the news received by Xiao Zhige, Emperor Anqing did have a sign of returning to his prime of life. Not only was he energetic when he was in dynasty, but he also went to the harem well.

Emperor Anqing only thought that this high level of humanity would make him live longer. However, the spies arranged by Xiao Zhige in Yejing unexpectedly found a clue-this is a master of Taoism, and is inextricably linked with Concubine Shu Gui.
