After Qin Rushuang and Xie Xun went to the study, they saw Zhu Sha and Zou Yuan already waiting there.
When he saw the two of them arriving, he quickly greeted them, "My lord and princess, you are here."
They have known for a long time that Qin Rushuang and Xie Xun are husband and wife and want to participate in the fight for the right to be the legitimate son, so now they never avoid Qin Rushuang in anything.
Qin Rushuang nodded and said to Xie Xun, "Just say what you want to say, I'll just listen."
Through discussions among several people, Qin Rushuang roughly calculated the military power currently held by Xie Xun.
Xie Xun had control over part of the Imperial City Army, and the 40,000 troops and horses that he had returned from the Southern Barbarians had never been asked to go back by Emperor Qi.
In addition, Wang Jian was only a nominal general in the border guard army. The actual person with power was the deputy general You Shao who stayed there.
It's just that the three of them and Qin Rushuang are worried about the same problem——
The border guards are too far away from Kyoto. If something unexpected happens in Kyoto, water far away cannot save the fire nearby.
The most urgent task is to quickly hold the power of the Imperial City Army tightly in his own hands.
Xie Xun also told the two of them that he and Qin Rushuang had some ideas about taking the military power of the Imperial City Army into their own hands, but it was not convenient to talk to them now and they would make a detailed plan after the matter was completed.
After several people finished their discussion, Zou Yuan patted Zhu Sha on the shoulder, raised his head and said to Xie Xun, "Your Majesty, a batch of good wine has recently arrived at the same teahouse. Do you want to try it with us?"
Xie Xun looked at the sky, laughed and cursed, "You two are really crazy. It's not dark yet, so you have to go drink. If you want to go, go alone, don't drag me along."
Zou Yuan curled his lips and said, "It's boring. The prince used to drink with us, but now he can't see anyone all day long."
Zhu Sha said sourly, "What do you know? The prince has a princess to accompany him and has such a cute baby. Who wants to go drinking with an old bachelor like you?"
When Zou Yuan heard this, he immediately quit and said with a laugh, "You are really ignorant, why should I go drinking? Not just to get drunk with you!"
Xie Xun coughed slightly and said, "What you said is not unreasonable, but there is another reason why I don't go to drink with you."
Zou Yuan asked curiously: "What's the reason?"
Xie Xun said without blushing, "I have no money now. All my property has been handed over to the princess, and the key to the warehouse has been given to the princess. I am now penniless."
Zou Yuan opened his mouth, not knowing what to say, and glanced at Zhu Sha with difficulty in speaking.
"I think you just made a mistake. You actually came to the prince to find comfort. Look! Look! You didn't find any comfort, and the prince showed you affection."
Seeing that both of them understood what he meant, Xie Xun secretly felt happy.
He now wished that everyone in the world knew that Qin Rushuang had taken over the power of the palace's housekeeper, and now he was a penniless wife in charge.
Not only did he not feel embarrassed by the name of being a strict wife, he was also very proud of it.
Not everyone is qualified to be a housewife.
For example, Zou Yuan is still a bachelor, and Zhu Sha is now drunk.
Thinking of this, Xie Xun finally broke away from the emotion of showing affection and asked, "What's wrong with Zhu Sha? Why do you need to drink to relieve your sorrow, but you have fallen in love with a girl from a certain family, and they don't agree? Who is the same person?"
I, the king, will tell you that I will help you arrange your marriage."
Zou Yuan sighed and said, "I don't know who he has fallen in love with. He has been in love for a long time. He looks so depressed and frustrated that even if I ask him, he won't tell me."
Zhu Sha had a sad look on his face, "Forget it, Prince, don't ask, I can't say anything about this. I can only say that I fell in love with someone I shouldn't have loved."
If only Xie Xun was interested in this matter just now, now even Qin Rushuang is somewhat interested.
Zhu Sha was a famous lieutenant under Xie Xun. What kind of woman could he not get? How could he be so miserable?
He also said that he fell in love with someone he shouldn't have loved. Isn't this a plot that only exists in story books?
The spirit of gossip in Qin Rushuang's heart ignited, and she patted Xie Xun on the shoulder and said, "Your Majesty, this is your fault. Not only do the people under your command have to be promoted, but when they encounter emotional problems, Your Majesty also has to help solve them!"
How about this, I'll pay for it today, and I'll go with you, and let's have a good drink."
After a while, several people went to the private room of the same tea house.
Qin Rushuang was a frequent visitor here. The shopkeeper was very discerning and arranged the most private room for them. He also told Qin Rushuang that everyone around him had already left and no one could hear what they were saying.
What Qin Rushuang meant by "having a drink together" was actually because she wanted to hear the gossip, but she refused to tell Zhu Sha no matter how much she asked, so drinking together became her unilateral attempt to persuade Zhu Sha to drink.
"Come! Have another drink for the victory at the border!"
"Have you finished drinking? Oh, then there is Nanman Shengli for a drink!"
"And because the fourth prince ate turtles a few days ago, we are not allowed to have another drink?"
Qin Rushuang wasn't completely cheating when she persuaded him to drink. Zhu Sha had a drink, and she had a drink too, causing Xie Xun, who was sitting opposite, to frown.
He reached out and took Qin Rushuang's little hand, which was still about to pour wine, and said: "Stop drinking, he is worried in his heart. If you keep drinking, what will you do if you get drunk later?"
Qin Rushuang raised her eyebrows: "General Zhu is feeling sad, and I am happy because I saw the account book today, okay? Don't worry, happy people can't get drunk. Besides, I'm drunk, isn't there a prince?"
Her eyes were sparkling and playful, which made Xie Xun feel itchy in her heart.
With this in mind, he let go of Qin Rushuang's hand, but still told him, "If you feel dizzy, don't drink anymore."
"Don't worry, I know what I know." Qin Rushuang suddenly approached him and whispered in his ear, "I just want to hear General Zhu's gossip. Don't you want to hear it, Your Majesty? Look at me getting him drunk! Ask him about this gossip, hehe.
!”
Xie Xun felt the hot air blowing past his ears, and half of his body was numb. By the time he realized it, Qin Rushuang had already pulled Zhu Sha to continue drinking.
Perhaps it was really because of the sadness in one's heart that people get drunk easily. After a few drinks, Zhu Sha was already dizzy.
Qin Rushuang saw that the drinking was almost done, so she asked softly in his ear: "Zhu Jiajun, who did you fall in love with? It's okay, there are no outsiders, just tell me and I will make the decision for you!"
Hearing this, Zhu Sha suddenly raised his head, but did not look at Qin Rushuang, but at Xie Xun who was sitting opposite.
I saw him staggering up and walking to Xie Xun's side, kneeling down with a plop, then holding Xie Xun's calf firmly with both hands, crying loudly.
Really crying.
He cried with snot and tears, and kept rubbing himself on Xie Xun. If he didn't see how pitiful he was, Xie Xun would have really wanted to kick him out.
But then Xie Xun immediately regretted why he didn't kick him away just now!
Because after crying a lot, Zhu Sha hugged Xie Xun's calf and said, "Your Majesty! I was wrong! I shouldn't have, I shouldn't have fallen in love with your woman!"
