From his words, he seemed to be teaching the people of Black Water Platform how to do things.
However, he did teach the people of Black Water Platform a lesson. According to the news from above, His Majesty scolded Steward Tao, saying that the whole Black Water Platform couldn't be compared to one useful person, and asked the people of Black Water Platform to learn from this Lord Shao!
The person said respectfully, "Yes, I'll arrange it."
"Wait." Shao Pingbo turned his head and stopped him, asking, "Has the Seventh Princess been settled?"
The person said, "She has been settled in the farmhouse and can be sent over at any time, but …"
Shao Pingbo asked, "Is she still making trouble?"
The person smiled bitterly, "Yes! She has been making a fuss to see you. Otherwise, she won't cooperate. "
"Why does she want to see me? Didn't His Majesty explain it clearly? "Shao Pingbo said coldly. In fact, he didn't want to see the princess and deliberately avoided it.
The person was speechless. If the Seventh Princess insisted on making trouble, what could he do?
Shao Pingbo saw his dilemma and frowned slightly. Considering the importance of the matter, he decided to see her in order to avoid any mistakes at the last moment, "I dare not disobey the princess. Let's go and have a look. "
The person immediately reached out his hand and led the way. They went down the mountain in the dark and came to a farmhouse at the foot of the mountain.
There were hidden guards outside the small courtyard. After a few secret signals, Shao Pingbo and his team were unimpeded.
As soon as they entered the small courtyard, they heard the sound of things falling, followed by a woman's clear voice, "What's this? Is it for pigs to eat? What kind of place is this? Is it a place for people to live? Ask Shao Pingbo to come out. Is this how he serves me? Ask him to come out and see me! "
Shao Pingbo, who had been listening attentively for a while, raised his hand to stop the two guards at the door from reporting. He personally walked to the door and pushed it open, saying: "My subordinates did not do their job well and made the princess angry. I will definitely punish them when I get back."
There was a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl inside. She was wearing ordinary peasant clothes, but it was difficult to conceal her unique temperament. Her lips were red, her teeth were white, and her skin was fair and tender. She was slender and elegant, full of youthfulness. She also had a pair of big bright eyes. She was indeed beautiful!
This was Tai-shu Xiong's daughter, the Seventh Princess, Tai-shu Huan 'er. She was panting with rage.
Inside the room, the two men holding trays were being lectured to the point of embarrassment. They felt that even if they were serving their ancestors, it wouldn't be so difficult to serve them.
Of course, it was inconvenient to send the palace maids of the Jin Nation Palace to serve him, so he could only ask the two staff of the Black Water Platform to serve him temporarily.
Upon hearing the voice, Tai-shu Huan 'er turned around and immediately widened his eyes. "Shao Pingbo, you finally dare to come and see me!"
Shao Pingbo raised his hand and gestured. The two men immediately felt as if they had been pardoned and quickly ran away.
At this moment, Shao Pingbo bowed respectfully and said, "Your subject pays his respects to the Seventh Princess!"
Tai-shu Huan 'er pointed at his nose and scolded, "Do you still care about me, the princess?"
Shao Pingbo cupped his hands. "Princess, you're exaggerating."
Tai-shu Huan 'er was relentless. "I heard that it was your idea to let me marry Chen Changgong. How could you let me marry an old man who is almost 50 years old? Do you know how much my mother cried? He washed his face with tears every day! Shao Pingbo, do you know your crime? "
Without changing his expression, Shao Pingbo squatted down and picked up the broken pottery bowl on the ground. He gently scraped the overturned food into the broken bowl and said Slowly, "Your Highness, have you seen real starving people? When I was in Beizhou, I saw a lot of white bones that starved to death on the roadside … Your Highness, you may not understand what I'm saying, but I just hope that Your Highness knows that there is no one more miserable than starving people in this world, and nothing is more important than filling one's stomach. If Your Highness's grievance can be exchanged for enough food and warmth for the people in the world, then it's not a grievance! "
Tai-shu Huan 'er said, "You speak in a dignified manner. I've seen many people like you. They are despicable, shameless, and unscrupulous in order to get their positions and climb up the ranks!"
Shao Pingbo said, "I may be unscrupulous in doing things, but in the final analysis … Whether Your Highness believes it or not, I think that the people in the world have suffered for too long. Some things have to be done. As long as the flames of war can be quelled, what's a mere infamy? If my long-cherished wish can be fulfilled, I don't mind my reputation after death! "
He got up and stuffed some food into his mouth, regardless of the dirty food. He chewed carefully and swallowed it slowly. He paused for a moment when he touched the sand, but he still swallowed it slowly. "How can Your Highness spoil such good food? The people of Jin State are poor. Many of them want to have a bite of this but can't!"
Seeing him eat the food that was stained with dust, Tai-shu Huan 'er immediately looked disgusted and took a step back subconsciously. However, there was a strange look in his eyes that flickered and scrutinized.
Shao Pingbo turned around and handed the broken bowl of food to Shao Sansheng. He ordered, "Leave it. Don't waste it. Give it to me as a midnight snack."
"Yes!" Shao Sansheng answered and took it with both hands.
Others might not know, but he had followed Shao Pingbo for many years and was clear that the eldest young master was not pretending. The eldest young master never wasted food, ate and drank in moderation, and never left a grain of food in the bowl after each meal.
Although the eldest young master was cruel when he governed Beizhou, he really racked his brains and worked hard to feed the people of Beizhou!
The eldest young master could not stand people who wasted food.
Tai-shu Huan 'er said, "Don't pretend in front of me! Beizhou? Shao Pingbo, I heard that you were driven from Beizhou to Jin State. You fled to Jin State like a stray dog. You're a useless man, but you want to rely on a woman to climb to the top. What kind of man are you? "
She intended to provoke Shao Pingbo and goad him into giving up. It was a last-ditch struggle, but it was also the reason why she wanted to see Shao Pingbo.
However, she was too naive.
Shao Pingbo's cheeks twitched. He took a deep breath and said calmly, "Princess, don't make trouble anymore. His Majesty should have told you everything. Even if you don't think for yourself, you should think for your mother. If you disobey, it means that the imperial concubine doesn't take His Majesty's words seriously. If you ruin His Majesty's plan, have you thought about the imperial concubine's fate? "
"You …" Tai-shu Huan 'er pointed at him with grief and indignation. The other party had used her mother to threaten her. She was so helpless that she trembled with anger!
Shao Pingbo said calmly, "Princess, it's late. Rest early. You have to leave tomorrow!" He cupped his hands and turned to leave.
"Stop right there!" Tai-shu Huan 'er shouted sternly.
Shao Pingbo stopped and said with his back facing her, "What else do you want me to do, Princess?"
Tai-shu Huan 'er said, "The reason why I agreed to marry Chen Zhanggong is that my father promised me a condition. He will satisfy one of my requests in the future! Have you ever thought that I won't let you go after you treat me like this today? "
Shao Pingbo said with his back facing her, "I heard that His Majesty agreed to your condition, but there is a condition. His Majesty said that as long as it's not too excessive, he will satisfy you! So, your request is not difficult for me. "
He didn't care about such a young girl's threat!
Tai-shu Huan 'er said with grief and indignation, "Shao Pingbo, you will suffer retribution sooner or later!"
"If you do too many bad things, you will suffer retribution sooner or later. I know this better than anyone. Princess, you don't have to worry about it. Princess, rest early! " Shao Pingbo said and left. He didn't look back and left in the night, regardless of the clamor behind him.
…
Waking up in the early morning, the Western Screen Pass Guard groped Chen Changgong left and right in a daze. He did not feel the two warm and fragrant jade-like bodies. He immediately opened his eyes and saw that the two dainty beauties were already neatly dressed, their hands clasped behind their backs as they quietly waited by the side of the bed.
Seeing him wake up, the two women bowed. "Great General!"
They were very particular about the etiquette, and every frown and smile was in place. Chen Zhanggong, who had propped himself up, was stunned. He asked suspiciously, "Do you know the etiquette of the palace?"
The two women came forward and helped him dress. One of them said, "We are from the palace, and we serve His Majesty Jun Wei. My name is Chang Xiu 'er."
The other woman said, "My name is Sang Sui."
Chen Zhanggong, who had opened his arms to let them dress him, froze. He slowly looked around as if he had seen a ghost. "You … you are Noble Consort Chang and Noble Consort Sang?"
Chang Xiu 'er smiled and said, "We sisters wanted to leave Xiping Pass with the caravan and escape from Wei Country. Who knew we would be stopped by General's men at the checkpoint and offered to General. We sisters didn't dare to reveal our identities, but we didn't dare to deceive General when we saw how much you love us. "
It was just like what they said. They had originally followed an ordinary caravan out of the pass, but when the guards at the checkpoint searched, they found two stunning beauties hidden in the caravan.
Seeing that it was just an ordinary caravan, the soldiers made things difficult for the caravan boss. He reluctantly gave up his two concubines to save his life.
After confirming that they were ordinary and weak women, the soldiers offered them to Chen Zhanggong. Chen Zhanggong originally had no intention of accepting them, but after seeing their beauty, he couldn't help but enjoy himself these days.
However, he never dreamed that these two women were the two favored concubines of Wei Country's former monarch, Xuan Chengtian!
Chen Zhanggong finally understood. No wonder they were so beautiful, they were the emperor's favored concubines!
After coming to his senses, Chen Zhanggong staggered backward and hit the edge of the couch, falling down. He pointed at the two and couldn't speak for a long time.
Although Xuan Chengtian had been demoted, he used to be the emperor of Wei Country and the younger brother of the current empress. Moreover, these two escaped imperial concubines were demon concubines who brought disaster to the country. He actually slept with these two women. Once the news got out, how much credit could he make against the accusation?
He was frightened and knew that he had touched women he shouldn't have touched. His eyes swept around and suddenly rushed to the side. With a swoosh, he pulled out his sword and pressed toward the two women!
The two women had seen the world, so they were calm and fearless. Imperial Concubine Chang smiled and said, "General, do you want to kill us to silence us? Since the two of us can appear here, does the general think that killing the two of us will be able to conceal this matter? "
Chen Zhanggong looked ferocious and pointed his sword at them. "You must be spies of Jin Country! Your Majesty is wise, you should know that I'm framed! "
Imperial Concubine Sang said, "So what if I'm wise? If general thinks that it won't harm your future, us two sisters will be at your disposal! "
Imperial Concubine Chang continued, "The impact on your future is small, but can general guarantee that no one in Wei Country will make a fuss about this? General is well aware of what kind of people are in court. They might try to calm you down now, but what about in the future? Is it worth it to gamble for an unknown future? "
