Cold Palace’s Abandoned Consort

In a blink of an eye, we entered the palace for the seventh day.

Regarding the fate of the dynasty, for the general trend of the world, seven days is just Bai Jun's gap, a blink of an eye, but these seven days are for everyone in this world, for everyone in the Imperial City, for me, for Han Zitong , Even for Pei Yuanxiu himself, all live like the years.

But finally, on the seventh day, the last trace of blood in the imperial city was washed away.

The sun pours its head out of the clouds that have accumulated for many days, illuminating the glazed blue tiles on the top of the palaces in the imperial city, as if it is also showing a new beginning.

Soon, more people walked in the palace.

In the first few days, the eunuchs who were scared like a bow-struck bird after a slaughter were hiding in every corner of the palace, just like the girls I rescued before. When everything calmed down, they They were reconvened because I begged Pei Yuanxiu. These people were forgiven their lives and could choose to leave or stay in the palace to serve.

Of course, some people can't wait to choose to leave.

Some of them were originally homeless, or lost their place to return in the war, and they had no choice but to continue to survive in this high wall.

Then, we must start to repair the palace, reorganize the court, and issue a decree ...

This is what I can see before, and I also know that all of this is just a microcosm of the whole world.

All war-torn areas must be rebuilt. All the people who left their homes and lost the land they needed to survive because of the war must find a place and a livelihood. The empty streets need pedestrians, and the restaurant of Moncolo You need to solicit guests again, and you need to put goods on the empty shelves.

But how easy is it?

In terms of Cangzhou and Tianjin, the two cities closest to the capital, almost all the people are gone. They are completely empty, and now the court is supposed to be the capital. It has not yet had a clear attitude. It has left the mainland to become Where did the ordinary people dare to come back easily?

The situation in Beijing is better than the previous two cities, but it is not optimistic.

Reconstruction after the war takes about one year, two years, but it takes at least ten years to appease the psychology of the people. But now, Pei Yuanxiu faces more than just the people.

That same morning, I heard that Xie Houqi was talking to him outside, and their attitudes were not very good.

"Why are you hiding this from us!"

"What did I hide from you?"

"Yangzhou and Huai'an, several places in Jiangnan have been occupied after you left!"

"..."

"And not only these two places, they have now blocked the river surface, Pei Yuanxiu, your base camp has been endured, Jinling has now become a lone city!"

I could n’t sleep well the previous few days, so the night before, he asked me to send me a soothing soup, and I finally slept a little bit better, but I was heard by the evil Houqi early in the morning Waking up, I opened my eyes and turned my head to see the outside of the curtain. The door slightly opened, and the two of them stood there.

The sunlight cast the figures of the two people on the window paper. I can see that when Xie Houqi was talking, his chest was undulating and seemed very anxious. It was Pei Yuanxiu he was facing. He heard these words and was quiet Nothing happened.

The evil Hou Qi was even more anxious: "You already know these things, why do you keep hiding from us!"

"Do I hide from you?" He raised his eyebrows and seemed silent for a while before slowly saying, "When I know the news, we are ready to go to Beijing."

"..."

"Do you want me to announce the news at that time?"

"..."

"Disturbing the army's heart will not bring any results, don't you know the prince?"

The evil Hou Qi was stiffened by him.

Pei Yuanxiu's words, of course, make sense. Although the people on the side of Xie Houqi are all cavalry of Shengjing, they are like wolves and tigers. They go south to make money through war. Most of the troops were brought from Jinling. Although these people battled south and north, their hometown was still in the south. If they knew that their hometown had been occupied during the most important battle, they would not be able to return. It is conceivable how shocked they will be.

Xie Houqi was silent for a while, when he spoke again, his tone was slightly calmer: "What should we do now?"

Pei Yuanxiu looked at him: "Huh?"

"Don't you let them occupy Yangzhou and Huai'an like this, and cut off Jinling?

"..."

"Pei Yuanxiu, have you forgotten, when you asked us to send troops, what conditions did you promise Shengjing!"

"..."

"More than 70% of the taxes in Jiangnan will be sent to Shengjing, don't you forget?"

"..."

"At that time, the emperor turned face with Sheng Jing. I think you know very well. If it wasn't for him to break the agreement with Sheng Jing for so many years, we wouldn't have the spare time to take care of you. But now, our soldier The battle was also fought, and the battle was fought. Do you want us to return empty-handed ?! "

"..."

"Pei Yuanxiu, don't forget, the previous Kings of Shengjing didn't agree with us to send troops. I tried to persuade them and made that promise before they promised to send troops. If now, if you want to fight against you--"

He said at the end that his breath had revealed a bit of danger.

Pei Yuanxiu looked at him quietly, his side face reflected on the window paper seemed extraordinarily calm, and even his long eyelashes could not move. After a while, he slowly said, "Prince, why not be so heavy? Hold on? "

"..."

"I have won the capital and the world is mine. Even if they occupy Yangzhou and Huai'an, what will happen?"

"..."

"These two places have isolated Jinling as a lone city, but if you look at it, willn't these two places be lone cities?"

"..."

"When we make up our hands and take down these two places, what will be the problem?"

Xie Houqi immediately said: "Free up your hands? What are you still busy doing? What else is more important than winning these two hard bones? Pei Yuanxiu, Sheng Jing's people are not so patient and have been waiting. Your verbal promise. If you never see the actual thing again— "

At this time, Pei Yuanxiu looked up at him.

Although there was a door and a window in the middle, I could not see his expression at all, but the chill that seemed to come from the snow and ice cold land suddenly penetrated through that door, a window, and pierced straight into it. In my heart.

The evil Houqi's words also stopped.
