In the battle at the border, the second prince of the Yan Kingdom was brave and good at fighting. He took the head of General Da Qi thousands of miles away. However, the army was unstable and suffered continuous defeats.
Of the 100,000 Qi garrison troops, only 30,000 were killed. However, the new generals sent by the imperial court were still delayed, leaving them leaderless and in need of food and grass.
It was Xie Xun, who was training in the army at the time, who took on the important responsibilities of the army alone, used troops like a god, commanded the remaining 30,000 remnants of the army to fight back, and finally defeated the Yan Kingdom.
Speaking of this, Xie Xun just looked indifferent and described the situation at that time in a straightforward manner.
But perhaps he personally experienced the battle at that time, and in just a few words, he described the cruelty of the war at that time and the bravery of the Daqi garrison.
Everyone had mixed feelings after hearing this. Although Daqi won that battle, his vitality was severely damaged.
"Then how did the prince come up with such a plan and win the victory? It's amazing!" A teenage servant asked with admiration on his face.
Hearing this, Xie Xun smiled and said nothing.
The steward who brought up this topic earlier was also smart and slapped the kid on the head: "What are you asking?! That is my Daqi's military secret! Don't ask random questions!"
The servant touched the beaten head and looked at Xie Xun, and saw that the expression on the prince's face was very gentle.
Xie Xun recalled some things.
Because that battle was a strategy sent to him by Qin Fang's flying pigeon.
He never knew that the concubine of the general's palace, who seemed so weak, was in a boudoir, but had such a plan and strategy.
When he saw the plan, he felt ashamed.
Therefore, he always felt that Qin Fanghao was bound by the status of a woman and the world. Such strategic talents would be so amazing if he were born as a man!
He has always had a faint feeling of pity for Qin Fanghao, and when he heard that she was being suppressed by her eldest sister as a concubine, he couldn't bear it.
Later, the two exchanged a lot of letters, which were about daily trivial matters and the love between children. However, the original letter that changed Da Qi's fate was always kept in his heart.
Later, Qin Fanghao proposed that he would like her. Although he was not very sure about his feelings, he was sure that he would like such a talented woman, so he took advantage of the situation and prepared to ask his father to marry her.
Unexpectedly, before he went to ask for the imperial edict, the imperial edict came, and his concubine turned out to be another person - Qin Rushuang.
Thinking of this, he suddenly asked the housekeeper: "Uncle, is the princess leaving the palace today?"
The uncle swallowed the steamed bun in his mouth: "Yes, the princess said she had something to do, so she left the mansion. I don't know the specific slave."
Speaking of this, Uncle Fu suddenly felt blessed and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. The Princess has brought a personal maid to serve her during this trip, and she also brought a servant, which is very thoughtful."
Sure enough, Xie Xun frowned when he heard this: "Servant?"
As far as he knew, Qin Rushuang had extraordinary martial arts skills and did not like to use bodyguards or servants. In order to avoid suspicion after getting married, she only took green branches with her when she went out. How could she bring a servant with her?
"Where is the servant on duty?"
"You just entered the house, and the old slave looks very smart!"
In fact, Uncle Fu knew that the servant was the musician who took a concubine in the palace and made a big fuss at the side door.
He didn't like Qian Ertong at first, but he couldn't compete with the boy's sweet talk and his ability to stir things up. He also massaged his shoulders and necks from time to time, and he suddenly won over Fu Bo's heart.
And...since the prince asked, of course he would add fuel to the flames.
Uncle Fu sighed in his heart, he was already very old, and he was really worried about the harmonious relationship between the prince and the princess!
"Clever? What else? Is he reliable?" Xie Xun frowned even more.
"There's more..." Uncle Fu thought for a while and said, "There's nothing else... He's quite handsome. I heard that there was a heavy snowfall in Kyoto one year and many people starved to death. The servant Ding's family only had
He was left alone and was dying of hunger. It happened that the princess's house was serving porridge, and he was very grateful for the favor of the princess."
This rhetoric was told by Qian Ertong himself and to everyone.
Qian Ertong was a smart and worldly person. He knew that someone might be jealous of him because he suddenly caught the princess's eye. Besides, he was a foreigner and his status was also embarrassing.
When telling others that the princess is his savior, the most people can say is that the princess is kind-hearted and that she knows how to repay her kindness, so they won't do anything difficult.
Little did he know that after hearing this, Xie Xun felt angry in his heart.
"None of you know where the princess has gone?!"
His wife went out, but no one asked her where she was going. What if something happened?
What if Qin Rushuang's aggressive temper makes people laugh outside?
Seeing that the prince's expression was really bad, Uncle Fu said hurriedly: "I heard from the concierge that he saw the princess going to Dongshi. Does the prince want to take a look? I will order someone to prepare the carriage right now, and..."
"No need, prepare your horse! I will ride over!"
"Your Majesty is in a hurry?" Uncle Fu said with a smile.
"I think you are too old to find the stables in the palace?"
"No! No! Your Majesty, please forgive me! I'll go right now!" Uncle Fu didn't dare to say anything more after the order was made. It would be bad if the Prince became angry because of his embarrassment.
Uncle Fu brought the horse over and handed the horse rope to Xie Xun's hand: "Don't worry, my lord, the princess is riding in a carriage. She walks slowly and can catch up!"
Xie Xun endured it again and again, but always felt that Uncle Fu's expression was not right: "I am just afraid that she will make a joke! You don't know her temper yet?"
After saying that, he waved his riding whip and galloped away.
In the carriage, Qin Rushuang sneezed several times in succession. Qingzhi was so frightened that she hurriedly put on another big cloak: "Is the princess cold? Do you want to add another one?"
Qin Rushuang rubbed her nose: "I'm almost wrapped into a ball! It's not cold! Someone must be saying bad things about me!"
Suddenly a hand warmer was handed in from outside the sedan: "Princess, the hand warmer is cold? The younger one even brought one! Princess, please cover it quickly!"
Qingzhi looked at the hand stove handed in by Qian Ertong and felt sad. This man started to take away his own work.
Qin Rushuang pretended not to notice Qingzhi's awkwardness, took out a yellowed book, and carefully checked the registered shops in it.
After watching for a while, she opened the curtain and said: "Just stop here for a while and go see Du's Bank."
Du's Bank was one of the dowries left to her by her mother, and it was also the one that made the most money among the dowries.
If she remembered correctly, the manager of the bank was an old man who came from her mother's house, and he was the most loyal. The income from other shops and farmland would also be deposited into Du's bank on time.
She is pregnant now and it is not suitable to travel around. It is impossible to go to every shop. In addition to all her money, Du's Bank also has a backup copy of the account books submitted by each shop.
If you visit a bank, you can roughly understand the profit and loss of the shop under her name.
When she arrived at the entrance of the bank, Qin Rushuang was about to get out of the car.
Worried that Qingzhi woman was too weak to support the princess, Qian Ertong hurriedly hid his hands in his sleeves and wanted to help the princess through his clothes. Unexpectedly, as soon as he reached out from the next door, he was suddenly whipped away by a flying riding crop.
hand.
Qingzhi was also startled by the sudden whip. She subconsciously turned around and wanted to scold him, but suddenly her eyes widened: "Your Majesty?!"
