To pay or not to pay? That's the question.

Many people are torn between life and death, such as the one named Hamlet, and many more are torn between boyfriend and girlfriend, tossing and turning for a choice, but in the final analysis, it is a matter of interest and conscience.

Choosing interests is against conscience;

Liu Han is not that Hamlet, he didn't hesitate for long, and then decisively said, "Keep her." ”

Lao Huang nodded with a chuckle, his eyes were full of appreciation, Liu Han explained, "I'm not kind, Miss Fang has been in the mansion for half a day, if we hand it over again, I'm afraid we will give someone a handle, in addition, hand over Miss Fang's family, the profit and loss are halved, at a glance, but you can leave her, although it is dangerous, but it can be avoided, our mansion is so big, it should be no problem to hide someone, once she escapes from the imperial capital and returns to Bingzhou, our income will be far greater than now." ”

Lao Huang couldn't help but shake his head lightly after hearing this, this guy always doesn't like to be noble, even if he does something similar to this, he always wants to make the purpose low-level fun.

The girl was still asleep, Liu Han gently took out her arm, gave her a number of pulses, and entered the internal breath of the channel, and found that her internal injuries were quite serious, and the meridians were a little chaotic, but fortunately it did not hurt the dantian.

Lao Huang is very quiet on the side, Liu Han is proficient in medical skills, and Danshi is proficient in medical skills, which is also an important reason for him to conclude that Liu Han has Danshi cultivation, when he was in the Western Regions, the guys of the trading company were injured, the doctor was responsible for minor injuries, and Liu Han personally took action for serious injuries.

The girl was awakened during the investigation, opened her eyes Han and Lao Huang, and was a little surprised, so she was about to get up and get out of bed, but Liu Han immediately stopped her.

"Don't move!

The girl felt that there was an internal breath entering her body, slowly combing her chaotic meridians, moisturizing the dried dantian, this internal breath was initially weak, and slowly became grandiose and full of vitality.

"Who is this person? Nei Xi is so grand and upright!" the girl was shocked, and her eyes were cold, and she saw that the other party was holding her hand, and two fingers were on her veins, and this is where Nei Xi originated.

"Don't move!

Liu Han's voice was very gentle, and the girl quickly gathered her mind, turned over her heart, let her internal breath circulate in her body, and sorted out her chaotic meridians step by step.

After a few cycles, the injury recovered a little bit, and Liu Han restrained his inner breath and put the girl's arm back into the quilt.

"Don't thank you for your kindness, please ask for your name, if you have the opportunity, Fang Huiyun will definitely repay you in the future!"

Liu Han smiled at her, and said in his heart that this eldest lady Fang had the demeanor of her father, straightforward and a little shrewd.

The affairs of the Fang Mansion cannot be concealed from the people of the imperial capital, and the appearance of himself must be related to the Fang Mansion, rather than concealing it from each other, it is better to tell it calmly, so that it is easier to win the trust of the other party.

"My name is Liu Han, you are so good to give birth to and recuperate, don't think about anything else. ”

Fang Huiyun acquiesced, Liu Han got up and was about to go out, Fang Huiyun asked in a low voice, "Engong, my father is handsome." ”

"I don't know, the imperial court hasn't announced it yet, but no matter whether General Fang can escape or not, you have to recover from your injuries before you can say anything else. Liu Han replied, "Oh, by the way, don't want to sneak out, the whole city is being searched outside, with your current injury, a government official from Jingzhao Mansion can deal with you, so, what you need to do most now is to heal your injuries, with the news of your father, I will definitely tell you as soon as possible." ”

Fang Huiyun is not the kind of young lady of the scholar clan, she was raised by her father as a boy since she was a child, she has ridden a fierce horse, she has seen the battlefield of flesh and blood, and after entering the Demon Gate, she has chased and killed horse thieves in the grassland outside Yanmen Pass, and has seen life and death. Hearing Liu Han say this at this moment, he didn't speak again.

Liu Han fell silent when he saw that she was a little excited, and secretly praised in his heart, she was worthy of being Fang Hui's daughter, judging the situation and killing decisively.

"Fang Hui gave the head, there are 326 people in the whole house, only Fang Huiyun's daughter Fang Huiyun is on the run, she should be hiding somewhere in the city, and now Jingzhao Yin's Ya Servant, Hu Benwei, Internal Guard, and the soldiers of the Nine Gate Governor's Mansion have all been dispatched to search door to door, I believe it will not be long before they can be arrested. ”

In the Accord, Gonggong Lin reported to the emperor that Gonggong Mu was still sitting in front of the emperor's bed, and Gonggong Cheng was in the outhouse, and there were two more people in front of the emperor's bed, the prince and Pan Lian.

Pan Lian sat at the bottom of Gonggong Mu, while the crown prince was standing, standing at the bottom of Pan Lian.

Although it is still early winter, the brazier has been lit in the room, and the Xuzhou fine carbon of the product is bubbling with a faint blue fire, without the slightest carbon gas, and the whole room is smoked warm.

Gonggong Lin bent down and stood for a long time, the emperor still didn't speak, a layer of fine sweat broke out on his forehead, and he couldn't help but peek at Gonggong Mu, Gonggong Mu lowered his head, his old body was slightly bent, and he didn't look at him at all.

Pan Lian was a little nervous in his heart, it was not the first time he was called to Accord, but he had never been so nervous today. The emperor unexpectedly asked him to sit down, but the crown prince was still standing, still standing under him, this signal was too obvious!

The emperor coughed lightly twice, Father-in-law Mu hurriedly picked up the towel and wiped the saliva from the emperor's mouth, the emperor signaled slightly, and Father-in-law Mu helped the emperor up again, put the pillow higher, and let the emperor lean on his face.

Subsequently, Gonggong Mu brought the ginseng soup and fed half a bowl to the emperor, the emperor's face was slightly bloody, and then he shook his head slightly, Gonggong Mu put the bowl next to him again, and picked up a towel to wipe him.

He did all this skillfully and quickly.

The emperor muttered softly, and Gonggong Mu turned his head and said to the prince, "The emperor asked, how is the situation in Bingzhou?"

Pan Lian hurriedly bowed down and replied, "After Fang Hui's death, the governor of the state and the general of the Huns were vacant, and the ministers discussed, and Wang Yuan, the general of the crossbow, took over, and the history of the state was taken over by the original state assassin Shi Bei Kuixiu." ”

These two candidates are the result of Shang Shutai's deliberations, with distinct characteristics of the scholar family, Wang Yuan and Kui Xiu are both from the scholar family, Wang Yuan was born in the Wang family of Qi County, and the Wang family of Qi County is a famous gate valve in the state, and its family origin can be pushed to the time of the previous generation of Daxia, and the ranking of the Shi clan in the world can be ranked in the top ten. Similarly, the Kui family is not simple, the Kui family is a Jizhou scholar, although not as prominent as the Wang family, the ancestor has also produced the prime minister's captain, and it is also a famous family in Jizhou.

These two candidates will definitely not be criticized by the scholars, but will be appreciated by them.

Unexpectedly, the emperor muttered softly after hearing this, and Mu Gong relayed it fairly, "The emperor does not agree, my lords, now that the border county is peaceful, Xianbei has been divided, and the threat to my Great Jin has long been no longer a threat. ”

The prince's eyes suddenly brightened when he heard this, and his father, who was on the bed, showed admiration.

Although the emperor is seriously ill, his thinking is still agile, and this idea breaks the convention, but it is actually the best way to deal with it.

"The emperor's intention to set up the Mobei Metropolitan Protectorate, the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate, and the Yundu Protectorate, as Taiyuan Wang Yanqin Yao led the Mobei Metropolitan Protector, and Dongying Gongyan Teng served as the Metropolitan Protector of the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate, holding the festival, and concurrently serving as the Mountain Taishou, the original Mountain County Guard, and Shangshutai arranged it by himself; The history of the state thorn was concurrently served by Wang Yanqin of Taiyuan. ”

Mu Gonggong's tone was flat, but the crown prince Pan Lian knew that this was not a discussion, but a decision, and the emperor wanted to lead the clan to replace the clan lords and generals.

There has been such a situation in history, whenever the emperor feels that he cannot control it, or when there is a major danger, the first consideration is that the clan has the military power, some time ago, the emperor has issued an edict, the clan vassal state also controls the local administration and military power, and then the power of the border army of the state is controlled by the clan, and the military power of the world is ten* has been controlled in the hands of the clan.

And the clan, the king of Qi, who posed the greatest threat to the crown prince, has been forced into the country, and the military power of the king of Qi has been taken back by the emperor.

Now the world's heavy army group Liangzhou Border Army and Youzhou Border Army, only these two armies are not in the hands of the clan, but these two armies are stationed in Liangzhou Youzhou, these two states are bitter cold places, and all military food must be transported from the original.

Liangzhou's military food was provided by Yongzhou, but Yongzhou was controlled by King Qin.

Youzhou's military food is controlled in the hands of Jizhou, and Jizhou is controlled in the hands of the scholars, and the emperor has crowned the king of Xianjun in Wei County, the richest county in Jizhou, which is equivalent to driving a wedge in Jizhou and choking Jizhou's throat.

After Gonggong Mu finished speaking, the crown prince and Pan Lian bowed down at the same time to receive the order, the emperor said a few more words, Gonggong Mu listened to his ear, and then raised his head and shouted outside, "Bring Qiuyun's edict." ”

Cheng Gonggong came in with a bright yellow edict and handed it to Mu Gonggong, Mu Gonggong opened the edict first, and then took it to the emperor for approval, and Mu Gong gave it to the prince.

"Your Highness first," Grandpa Mu added, "Xi." ”

The prince took it, this is an edict to reward Qiuyun, the content of the edict is nothing more than Qiuyun has been on the side for decades, hard work is high, the emperor remembered his old age, and decided to transfer Qiuyun back to the court, serve as a hussar general, and participate in the Shangshu affairs. The governor of Liangzhou, the general of Huqiang, was succeeded by Duanmu Zheng.

"The retainers obeyed. ”

This edict has been seen by the crown prince a long time ago, and the emperor has already told him about the arrangements for Qiuyun, but now it is just the implementation of the previous arrangements.

The room was very quiet, the prince personally picked up the jade seal and stamped the edict, and was about to hand over the edict to Cheng's father-in-law, he took it back and said to Cheng's father-in-law, "This edict will be announced by the prince himself." ”

Cheng's father-in-law was stunned for a moment, then understood, and retreated to the side without saying a word.

Pan Lian felt a little uneasy in his heart, Qiuyun's prestige was too high, and he was born in the Pinshi clan, in the court, both his appeal and prestige far surpassed him, and having him in Shangshutai was very unfavorable for him to control Shangshutai.

And he faintly felt that after solving the problem of Fang Hui, the emperor also took precautions against him, specifically in the use of Qiuyun, the hussar general, the second person in the military in this dynasty after the general, in the absence of the general, the hussar general was in charge of the expedition, which divided the power of the Taiwei Pan Ji.

Qiu Yun participated in Shangshushi, restraining his power in Shangshutai, and because of his military background, what he said carried a lot of weight.

Gonggong Mu then conveyed the emperor's will, this time to adjust Shangshutai.

"Pei Shu is already old, let him be a leader. ”

"Taishi Pan Lian, loyal and diligent for the country, concurrently serves as Shangshu Ling. ”

"The prince Taibao Zuochen, assisting the prince, the merit is in the community, and he is involved in the book. ”

The emperor's order quickly fell on the bright yellow silk silk, covered with jade seals, and was conveyed everywhere.

The prince personally went to Ningcuizhuang outside the city to read the holy decree to Qiu Yun, Qiu Yun knelt on the cold ground to receive the holy decree, his heart was very calm, no joy or sorrow, and humbly answered the prince's congratulations, of course he knew what the prince meant, but he didn't have the heart to respond.

From Liangzhou to the imperial capital, he is like walking on a tightrope, with an abyss on both sides, and he will be crushed if he is not careful, and now he has finally walked to the other side.

He's safe, at least, for the next five years.

A few days later, still by the Changqing Canal, Pei Shu said goodbye to dozens of ministers who came to see him off, the boat raised its sails, the springboard was put away, and Pei Shu stood on the side of the ship to say goodbye to the ministers.

The boat went out of the water gate and entered Luoshui, the north wind blew, the sails were bulging, the reed flowers had long since withered, there was no white, the sky was flying, the field was bare, and it was full of desolation.

There were horses' hooves in the distance, and a group of cavalry was galloping northward, as if there were police on the side, rushing to the battlefield, but Pei Shu felt as if he was fleeing.

"Let's go, let's go, it's finally a mess. ”

Pei Shu looked at the tall walls of the imperial capital from a distance and muttered to himself.

The ship approached Yanshi, the ship sounded the alarm bell, Pei Shu hurriedly ran out of the cabin, and the guards came to tell him that there were people fighting on the shore. Pei Shu followed the direction he pointed, there were several figures fighting together on the shore, the wide water surface, Pei Shu breathed a sigh of relief, as long as it was not an internal guard.

Then he ordered to speed up, and now he didn't want to get involved in anything that might cause trouble, and just wanted to return to his hometown in peace.

With Pei Shu Zhishi, Duan Chang returned to Youzhou, because the emperor was seriously ill, the four governors returned to the court, and a series of things caused by it finally came to an end.

In the early winter of the eighteenth year of Taiding, the emperor collapsed, and the prince was edicted by the emperor to ascend the throne as the emperor in the Chengxian Palace, and the year name was Zhizhi.
