If Emperor Yan still wanted to support Qi Xiuyuan to fight General Yuan four years ago, and two years ago he was willing to turn a blind eye to Qi Xiuyuan to let him grow his power, then at this time, he could no longer tolerate Qi Xiuyuan's continued growth.

He himself didn't expect the situation to change so quickly. Even if he didn't want to admit it, he realized that the empire was slowly getting out of his control.

Rebellions broke out in various places, and after three years of suppression, not only failed to suppress, but became more and more violent. General Yuan was already out of his control, but Qi Xiuyuan and other generals are now gradually out of his control.

The other generals were fine, but Qi Xiuyuan's development was too fast, the emperor became distressed, if he was willing to give a princess back then, maybe nothing would happen.

Seeing the emperor's frown, his confidant suggested in a low voice: "Your Majesty, Qi Xiuyuan has a younger brother who is skilled in martial arts. I heard that he is also very popular in the army."

The emperor snorted, and said, "Qi Xiuyuan didn't promote it. I want to hold Qi Xiuyuan, not his younger brother."

He really wants to rebel, a sister-in-law, don't just give it up, his daughter-in-law is precious.

The confidant was very speechless, and wanted to say that if he really wanted to rebel, even if he married the princess to him, it would be of no use.

The emperor knocked on the table and said: "However, the princess can't, but the daughters of other families can. Don't Qin Xiang's family have daughters of the right age?"

Confidant: "..." Let Qi Xiuyuan and Qin Xiang be in-laws? !

The confidant felt that this idea was a bit bad. The emperor couldn't see Qin Xiang's ambition, but it didn't mean he couldn't see it. Qin Xiang and Qi Xiuyuan were put together in a pile. Qi Xiuyuan had no ambitions at first, so maybe he could pick out his ambition in the end.

The confidant thought for a while, and said: "Your Majesty, Qin Xiang's daughter is Jinggui, I'm afraid he won't like it, why don't you send someone to test it out."

The emperor was displeased, but he nodded in agreement.

The confidant immediately said: "Since his younger brother is going to get married, it's better to let Qi Xiuyuan's family members go back to Beijing. Speaking of which, Qi Xiuyuan got married, and the Qi family hasn't seen their eldest daughter-in-law yet."

Generals of the third rank and above lead troops abroad, and their family members will stay in the capital. This is a custom, even General Yuan, his mother, wife and daughter also live in the Dingguo Palace in the capital.

And since Qi's family were all in Lin'an Mansion, after Qi Xiuyuan got married in Jingzhao Mansion, the emperor didn't want to get his family back.

The confidant hinted: "My lord, Qi Feng has always been eccentric, and Qi Xiuyuan left Beijing to join the army at the age of fourteen. The Qi family may not have much affection, but they love Qi Haoran very much."

The emperor understood instantly, nodded and said: "You are right, when I and Prime Minister Qin agree, let Qi Haoran bring Qi Xiuyuan's family back."

Qin Xiang has many daughters, but there is only one concubine daughter. As soon as the emperor mentioned it, he picked up his concubine daughters in his heart, and he really found three of the same age, but he didn't want to agree. As soon as the emperor mentioned it, he agreed. Then wouldn't the emperor come to find his daughter whenever there was a marriage?

Even if his daughter is a concubine, it is still valuable, and the marriage must be selected with high weight and value.

So Qin Xiang evaded vaguely.

The emperor was unwilling to Qin Xiang, but his attitude was not firm, and he didn't force him to come down immediately. He planned to persuade him slowly, so he let people go down with a wave of his hand.

That night, after the shift change, a young eunuch accidentally fell on the way back, and a piece of paper was quietly stuffed under a stone by the side of the road, and the piece of paper was taken out and tied in the The pigeons were released on their legs.

Mu Yangling was looking at the account book in his hand with a headache, turned to Li Jinghua and said, "Sister-in-law, since you know they are corrupt, why don't you take them down?"

"When the water is clear, there will be no fish. It's the same if you change people. Their greed is still within my acceptable range, so I won't touch them." Li Jinghua taught Mu Yangling sincerely, even for such a confidential matter. Tell her all.

But Mu Yangling disagreed, "I know that when the water is clear, there will be no fish. I don't mean that the backyard must be Ding Ding and Ding Ding, and the order of the above must be followed, but it is impossible to purchase and make false accounts."

Mu Yangling has no objection to purchasing rewards and some bribes from merchants outside. She can't ban it even if she wants to, but the purchase of Qi's family is to buy things from merchants at a slightly lower price, and then come back and report a high price. The price, after they give the money to the merchant, he then takes the money from the merchant.

Maybe Li Jinghua felt that the price he quoted was within her acceptable range, so she didn't punish him, but what Mu Yangling cared about was his behavior, even if he only made a penny from it, Mu Yangling didn't allow it.

Li Jinghua looked at Mu Yangling helplessly. She didn't know how to explain it. This was the education she had received since she was a child. What's more, what happened after she was arrested?

Regardless of whether it is beating or punishment, what should be greedy afterwards is still greedy, it is better to beat each other every once in a while, so that the behavior of the other party is always under your control.

Not only aristocratic families, but ordinary wealthy families also do the same.

Mu Yangling looked at her speechlessly, those slaves are greedy for her money, okay? She could only sigh, "Sister-in-law, you really don't make money and don't know how expensive money is."

Li Jinghua's face was reddish, and she whispered: "Before I married, my uncle also treated me like this."

Mu Yangling was shocked, and said with piercing eyes: "Sister-in-law, after I get married, you can see how I will manage the house. If anyone dares to take money from me like this, hum!"

Li Jinghua hurriedly said: "Ah Ling, we are masters, they are slaves, there is really no need to argue about these issues, to give way..."

"That's not about the master-servant relationship, right? Sister-in-law, don't bully me and fool me because I don't study much..."

Well, now there is no way to teach, Li Jinghua can only watch Mu Yangling play freely.

When Li Jinghua talked to Qi Xiuyuan in the evening, Qi Xiuyuan also had some headaches, "Hao Ran has such a temperament, but she also doesn't rub the sand in her eyes."

Li Jinghua leaned on his chest and said with a smile: "They won't fall in love with each other just because of their compatible tempers, will they? Send them an old nanny before the time comes."

Qi Xiuyuan thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "Forget it, let them make troubles, if not, then you will take over, two families will become one family, it's just that you have to work harder."

Li Jinghua was taken aback, and asked, "Will Sister Mu agree?"

Qi Xiuyuan smiled and said, "She is so anxious to be free. She is so devoted to farming now that she is too busy with outside affairs. If you are willing to give her a housekeeper, she will definitely prepare a big gift to thank you."

Li Jinghua asked hesitantly: "Is Ah Ling really going to the fields in person?"

"Isn't this a normal thing?" Qi Xiuyuan asked.

This is not normal, okay, but Li Jinghua didn't say anything, seeing Qi Xiuyuan get up to take the sealed soup on the table, he asked with concern: "Doctor said when will the poison in your body be cleared?"

"This is the last dose of medicine, and it won't work if you drink more." Qi Xiuyuan patted her on the shoulder reassuringly, "Don't worry, didn't Pang Kongqing say that, as long as you take the medicated diet, the poison will disappear after two or three years. can fully understand.”

Li Jinghua muttered, "It's been too long..."

"Medicine diet is like this," Qi Xiuyuan said very satisfied: "I am already very satisfied that I can get rid of the residual poison, let it last longer."
