"Li Ruogu, Urna!" The three of them could see each other's faces clearly.
"It's you!" Li Ruogu and Urna also discovered who the three of them were.
Li Ruogu, who was a little at a loss, stood there blankly, and finally Urna pulled him over.
"Didn't you say you were going to Xishan? Why did you come here to practice the two-in-one Tianshan stunt?" He Qizhou couldn't help laughing. Zhang Qingrou on the side also covered her mouth to avoid laughing out loud.
"There are too many people in Xishan." Li Ruogu said.
"Well, there must be a lot of people over there. If you want to do your own unique skills, you have to find a quieter place." He Qizhou said.
"He Qizhou, are you finished? And Lin Chuan, didn't you say you were going to Xishan, why did you end up here?" Urna saw Lin Chuan also starting to laugh, and shouted angrily with her hands on her hips.
Lin Chuan said anxiously: "I, I, let's go with He Qizhou to relax." After saying that, he glanced at He Qizhou with pleading eyes.
When He Qizhou heard what Lin Chuan said, he thought to himself that the guy had really become smarter, and he just found an excuse for himself, and said: "Okay, you two are in pairs, go and enjoy the peach blossoms and weeping willows, I'm just right
Be alone and wait for the snow dragon horse to eat and drink, then go back by yourself."
The four people couldn't wait to leave immediately, and they all left after hearing this. The tryst opportunity they finally got was ruined by that guy.
"Why haven't you come yet?" For half an hour, He Qizhou secretly asked this question countless times, until the carriage that made his eyes shine appeared.
The carriage traveling from south to north was exactly the same as the one Xiaoxue rented last time, and then turned west at the three-way intersection.
"Those two couples should have left, right?" He Qizhou secretly thought. Then he summoned the snow dragon horse and followed slowly. The carriage in front stopped in an open space, where more than ten cars had been parked, and then he saw
Xiao Ping opened the car curtain and got out. After getting off the car, she still held the car curtain, presumably waiting for the second person to come out.
He Qizhou found that he was a little nervous. He didn't expect that the second person to get off the car was Zhang Mufeng! He also carried a food basket in his hand.
"If I go, what else can I do?" He Qizhou was a little desperate.
Still wearing that floral blue sarong! Xiaoxue, who was wearing a curtain hat, finally got out of the car. A thin gauze scarf was in front of her, and her thin face was vaguely visible.
"There are so many people!" Xiao Ping cheered.
At the same age of fifteen or sixteen, Jiang Xing became a beauty, but she was still an annoying little girl. He Qizhou tied up his horse from a distance and couldn't help but think to himself.
After getting off the car, the three of them walked slowly towards the creek. There were many women dressed like Xiaoxue on the bank. No matter how ugly or beautiful they were, they were covered by a gauze scarf. As long as their figure was not too bad, in the eyes of outsiders, they always looked like they were there.
She would be prettier and more elegant. Only martial arts practitioners like Ulna and Zhang Qingrou could act fiercely, regardless of the girl's reserve.
He Qizhou suddenly found that he had a lot of thoughts today, but he really couldn't think of how to be alone with Xiaoxue. By the way, why not let Xiaoxue think of a way? He Qizhou took a few steps, gently broke a dead branch, and said
There was a soft "click" sound, and more than twenty steps away, Xiaoxue and Zhang Mufeng turned their heads at the same time. Of course, they did not fail to see He Qizhou behind the tree.
"Wow, miss, look, there are so many peach blossoms there!" Xiao Ping exclaimed excitedly. There are indeed more than a dozen peach trees blooming on the other side of the river, which is so beautiful.
"I seem a little cold, Mu Feng, please take Xiao Ping for a walk. I'll go back to the car first." Xu Muxue said. "You are still so weak, so I want you to wear more clothes! Forget it, let's go back.
"Okay." Xiao Ping said with some reluctance.
"You're the one who's clamoring to see the flowers, go ahead, I'll wait for you in the car." Xiaoxue said, pushing Zhang Mufeng.
"Xiao Ping, then you come with me for a walk. Sister, we will be back in about half an hour, half an hour." Zhang Mufeng emphasized the time, which made Xiaoxue and He Qizhou's faces feel a little hot.
Xiaoxue walked towards the carriage and passed by the willow tree where He Qizhou was leaning. She did not look back, but heard He Qizhou whisper: "Go to the place where the last robbery was, there is no one there."
Xu Muxue did not go to her carriage. She heard the snow dragon horse calling her, so she walked directly to the snow dragon horse tied in the distance. He Qizhou quickly followed, reliving the time of the two and the horse again.
After untying the tether and making sure no one was looking in his direction, he skillfully carried Xiaoxue onto the horse, then climbed on the horse and ran leisurely eastward.
"How long has it been since we rode together?" He Qizhou asked.
Because she didn't resist at all when being carried onto the horse, Xiaoxue's face still had a fever, and she whispered: "I haven't shared a ride since I entered Tongwan City."
Still with that heavenly voice, He Qizhou tightened his arms around his slender waist, lowered his head to Xu Mu's face, and said softly: "Although it's so cold and miserable, I still miss the days of sleeping together in the Gobi desert!
"
"Get out!" Xiaoxue did not resist, knowing that He Qizhou had no other intentions, so she wrapped her hands more tightly around the other party's strong waist.
"Can you kiss me again?" He Qizhou asked boldly.
"cannot!"
"Just a moment!"
"Just a moment." Xu Mu gently lifted the gauze in front of him, touched the corner of Qizhou's mouth with his warm thin lips, and quickly stepped back.
"I didn't touch it, try again!"
"Dump it! One last blow."
"It seems like someone is coming, no, it's Yang Shan!" He Qizhou noticed a horse approaching from a distance, and hurriedly reined in his horse and turned around, missing the beauty's kiss.
"I'll run a few steps quickly. Then you can dismount and go back to your carriage." He Qizhou thought of a strategy and with the speed of the snow dragon horse, he would quickly run out of Yang Shan's sight.
"Yeah!" Xu Mu was more anxious than He Qizhou.
Just as they approached the three-way intersection leading to the imperial mausoleum, He Qizhou dismounted first, and then Xu Muxue jumped off from the same side. Just as he was about to say goodbye, he didn't expect several riders coming from the west.
"Brother He, why haven't you left yet?" Li Ruogu asked.
"Master, let's enjoy the flowers." Lin Chuan said.
"Hey, who is this sister?" The third horse came over, it was Urna.
"You're a porridge drinker. I dumped Shangguan Qiudi just because of her." Zhang Qingrou, who had just been embarrassed, said harsh words.
"This, this..." He Qizhou suddenly felt that he had been punched and was stunned, and he didn't know what to say.
"Miss, why are you here! It's you again! He Qi Zhou!" Xiao Ping rushed up from behind and squeezed in between Xu Muxue and He Qi Zhou.
"Uncle, I'm sorry, Xiao Ping is clamoring to come back. There is no one in the car. The coachman said he saw the lady getting on the horse and heading east." Zhang Mufeng followed closely.
He Qizhou cursed himself secretly, why did he pay so much attention to the tourists instead of looking at the coachman!
"Let me introduce you." Li Ruogu's smile was as hateful as he wanted.
"Uncle, uncle, why did you run so fast when you saw me? Who is this?" It was Yang Shan's turn to come on horseback and he was confused.
"Zhang Mufeng." He Qizhou roared. At this time, he could only rely on his brother-in-law to save him.
"Oh, oh, it's my sister. She is an old friend of Senior Brother He. We just met by chance to catch up on old times." Zhang Mufeng said hurriedly.
"Bah! That's not true!" Xiao Ping said angrily.
"Xiao Ping, shut up! My aunt is Xu Mu!" Unable to bear the strange looks from everyone anymore, Xu Mu lifted his headband, revealing his slender and beautiful face.
This silenced the onlookers speechless.
"Please everyone keep it a secret for us, please." Xu Mu's second sentence suddenly became extremely soft.
"Okay!" "No problem." "I won't tell you even if you kill me!"...
Hearing everyone's promise, Xu Mu became tough again: "Thank you, if you have any questions, ask He Qizhou, Mu Feng, Xiao Ping, let's go home!" After saying that, he held Xiao Ping's hand and fled quickly!
"That's it!" Lin Chuan suddenly realized.
"He Qizhou, you hid it deep enough!" Zhang Qingrou said angrily.
"It turns out that Xu Mu is a woman, why have you kept hiding it from us?" Urna asked.
"I heard that Zhang Mufeng's sister is Xiao Jihuai's fiancée, what are you going to do?" Li Ruogu asked.
"Uncle, do you want me to tell my family?" Yang Shan also asked.
…
"We'll talk about it later, let me go today, remember to keep it a secret!" He Qizhou got on his horse, and the snow dragon horse started galloping, invincible!
When he returned to the Arms Hall, others let him go, but He Qizhou did not let him go. First he changed the memorial to thank him, and then he presented another memorial as the head of the Criminal Department.
This memorial was written from noon to midnight, with more than ten thousand words written in it. After revising it several times, it was carefully transcribed into the memorial. The main meaning is only one: to cut down the vassal!
Of course, He Qizhou expressed his views clearly and clearly. Starting from the floods in Jiangling Prefecture and the drought in the northwest, he then talked about the increasing number of princes year by year, the continuous annexation of land and the suffering caused to the people, and finally stated his
The suggestion is mainly to reduce the privileges of princes through three aspects:
1. Accelerate the process of hereditary reduction of nobility, from one reduction after three generations to one reduction after two generations;
Second, change the system in which the prince is hereditary and inherited by the eldest son. All heirs have the right to inherit the title and property, but the court will not award separate rewards. The successors will share the land of the deceased prince equally. The eldest son can inherit as a prince.
If an appropriate amount of property and land is allocated, other heirs will be directly demoted to the title of county king when they inherit. The demotion of their descendants shall refer to Article 1.
Third, reduce the privileges of the princes. In ten years, the princely fiefdoms will be upgraded from completely tax-free to half-taxed. The increase in the court's income will be used to reduce the taxes of the people as much as possible.
Early the next morning, He Qizhou went to the Ministry of Punishment to pay a visit to Hu Mao, the Minister of Justice. He suddenly thought that the officials were attending court in the morning, so he transferred to his immediate superior, the doctor Su Tuo.
After He Qizhou bowed and said goodbye, Su Tuo finally got off the chair this time, stood up and replied "See you, Mr. Marquis", but he couldn't see the slightest bit of respect.
He Qizhou handed the two memorials to him. Since he didn't know the process of submitting memorials to the Ministry of Punishments, he asked him to submit them on his behalf.
