Concubine Shu Deng Yun washed up again, put on her clean new clothes, drank a few sips of sober tea, walked a few steps with the help of the palace maid, paced back and forth, and finally jumped a few times on the spot, smiling at the eunuch Zhang Youcai who had been standing next to her, saying, "Look, I'm fine. Actually, I haven't drunk much wine, it's just a little late, the chicken is fine, the duck is a little tired."

"Those are all chickens and ducks raised by the queen. We usually don't even dare to touch them."

"I know I'm wrong, don't scare me anymore. Take me to see Your Majesty. I'm going to plead guilty in person."

"Concubine Shu is just to attract His Majesty's attention, right?" Zhang Youcai said coldly, having seen through Concubine Shu's tricks long ago.

Deng Yun said seriously: "It was indeed the case at the beginning, but the roasted chicken was so delicious. I unknowingly drank a little too much. It was definitely not my plan to vomit in front of His Majesty."

Zhang Youcai believed this sentence, but Concubine Shu said she didn't drink much, and then she said she drank too much without realizing it, which made him shake his head, thinking that this concubine and Deng Cui, who acted strangely, were really a family.

The emperor had an order before, but Zhang Youcai couldn't refuse, and said coldly: "Go to see Your Majesty with me, talk carefully, and stop causing trouble."

Deng Yun followed the eunuch obediently, and her steps would occasionally sway.

Han Ruzi was sitting in the room thinking about something. Deng Yun entered the room, walked to the emperor a few steps, and knelt down and said, "I am not doing anything, please give up your crime."

"You know your guilt?" Han Ruzi said seriously.

"I know the crime, I...I have eaten all the roast chicken wings left for His Majesty, and not a single one left."

A palace maid in the room couldn't help laughing. Zhang Youcai's face turned pale, and Han Ruzi was also stunned. After a while, he said, "Raise your head."

When Deng Yun knelt on the ground, he looked up. It was indeed a beautiful face. There was something wrong with him. He looked at the emperor directly, smiling slightly, as if they were having fun.

If she could be more shy in her eyes, her beauty would immediately increase by three or five points.

Jin Chuiduo is not afraid of people, but her "violence" has no effect on beauty at all, and Han Ruzi doesn't know why.

"If you still pretend to be crazy and stupid, I will send you back to the palace and report that the Queen Mother and the Queen will never have to leave the palace."

Han Ruzi knew what reduced Shufei's beauty, and she seemed too smart.

Deng Yun put away the little smile and said seriously: "It's not all... all drinks and makes trouble. My brother reminded me not to drink, but I couldn't help it. I know that I was guilty. They were chickens and ducks raised by the queen. I shouldn't kill them, let alone eat them. As soon as I returned to the palace, I immediately apologized to the queen and deal with them with the queen."

These words were finally normal. Even Zhang Youcai nodded slightly and could not have too high requirements for Concubine Shu.

Han Ruzi actually knew very well that Cui Xiaojun was not fond of these chickens and ducks, but using them to commemorate the wonderful life in Juehou’s mansion.

He summoned Concubine Shu not to listen to her confession.

"How do you know that I'm discussing strategies to suppress bandits?"

"Your Majesty does and think every day is this. I will hear one sentence here and one sentence there. I will know it on the first day of coming to Juanhou's mansion." Deng Yun's expression changed from seriousness to easy-going, with a slightly raised corner of her mouth. She was obviously not ridiculous, and she was also brewing a smile and changing freely between "concubine" and "me".

"You said I shouldn't just think about using troops. Do you have other means to suppress bandits?"

There were a lot of people in the room, with four eunuchs and three palace maids. They were surprised to hear the emperor's words, especially Zhang Youcai. He never expected that the emperor would take Shufei's drunken words seriously.

Deng Yun did not pretend to be stupid again this time and replied: "It has been a day or two since the Great Chu wanted to wipe out the bandits in Yunmengze. He used troops many times, and his troops were much more powerful than he is now, but he has not succeeded. This only means that this is a tranny road. As for other means of suppressing bandits..."

Her normalcy lasted for a while and suddenly made a pitiful look, "Did Your Majesty ask me to kneel like this? There is no cushion on the ground. If this is a punishment for me to kill chickens and ducks, okay, I accept it. It will be fine for as long as I kneel. If Your Majesty just forgot to get up and beg His Majesty, let me get up."

Han Ruzi found it difficult to remain serious, so she waved her hand and a palace maid immediately stepped forward and helped Shufei up.

Deng Yun breathed a sigh of relief and showed a bright smile. Even at this time, she seemed too smart, not naive and cute.

"Tell me." Han Ruzi reminded.

"Bandits to control bandits." Deng Yun's answer was simple and straightforward.

Han Ruzi had long thought that the answer he needed was more than that, "How to 'use bandits to control bandits'."

Deng Yun put away her smile, her figure was tall and she had a bit of a general style. "There is only one court in the world, but there are countless bandits. If you say that they all obey the orders of a big leader, they are as noble and orderly as the court, I believe Your Majesty would not believe it."

"Um."

Deng Yun was encouraged and his tone became faster. "The sources of bandits are different. Some are forced by life, some are officials to force the people to rebel, some are lazy and hate labor, some are just disobedient, and they are born to despair. These people each occupy mountains and water as kings. Naturally, they have their own worries. Using bandits to control bandits is to prescribe the right medicine."

"How to prescribe the right medicine?" Han Ruzi had an idea in her mind, and she still wanted to hear what Deng Yun said.

Deng Yun raised his right thumb, pinched his left hand and shook it gently twice, making him look more like a man. "First, it is better to appoint more honest and capable officials than to build a stronghold in Yunmengze, so that the people can have surplus food, and some bandits will naturally return to their hometowns to farm."

She raised her index finger again, "Second, if you have lenientness, you have to be strict. You must use both kindness and power. The robbers have family members. Find them out and let them persuade their children to return to their families. Those who succeed will be rewarded, while those who fail will be implicated."

"Third, although the bandits are not a single piece, they also have big leaders. It is said that they call themselves "the god-given general". The government previously rewarded his head with heavy rewards. As a result, the higher the reward, the higher the position of this person among the bandits. It is better to divide it and increase the rewards of other bandit leaders, just like this person, or close to it. If the government can create one leader, it can create three or five more to allow them to compete with each other."

"Fourth, there is a reward, there is a bribe. Even if it cannot be bribed, it doesn't matter. From time to time, I send troops to attack the parish. If there is a victory, I will claim to be a helper from the inside, and in short, I will make the bandits suspicious of each other."

"Fifth..." Deng Yun had raised all five fingers of his right hand, and was stunned for a while, as if he had forgotten what to say, "Fifth...Fifth... Just using tricks is not enough. After a year or two, he would have to use troops. At that time, he would have to achieve twice the result with half the effort, which would be much greater than a simple step-by-step victory."

Han Ruzi stared at Concubine Shu for a while. When another person was a senior official in the court, he would feel panic. His eyes were nothing, but his eyes came from the emperor, so he naturally had majesty. Deng Yun was not afraid, but instead smiled, "I'm finished speaking, are your Majesty still satisfied?"

Han Ruzi's eyes turned to Zhang Youcai, "You guys retreat."

The emperor's majesty was very effective for them. The eunuch and the palace maid bowed and left the room, went outside, looked at each other a few times, but never expected that the first person to stay for bed was Concubine Shu.

Zhang Youcai snorted and drove everyone away.

Han Ruzi stared at Concubine Shu again and said, "This is your brother's idea. You spent a lot of time memorizing it?"

Deng Yun also did not deny it and said with a smile: "Fortunately, I memorized it once. Only the fifth one, my brother said that he would change from 'no use of troops' to 'must use of troops'. It takes a transition to give His Majesty a deep impression. I did not do very well."

"What did your brother say to the East China Sea and the Huns?" Han Ruzi was both angry and funny. Only Deng Cui dared to do such a thing. He clearly guessed the emperor's thoughts, but before going to the Western Regions, he refused to say that he had to leave it to his sister to please the emperor.

"It's gone, oh, he said it would take one or two years to wipe out the bandits in Yunmengze. At that time... he will come back. If there is anything he wants to say to His Majesty."

Deng Cui even made arrangements for how he returned to the capital.

Han Ruzi said coldly: "Do you brothers and sisters intentionally play with me?"

Deng Yun shook his head quickly, "The way we brother and sister is indeed not in accordance with etiquette. If it were another emperor, we would rather stay in Jincheng and not say anything in front of the emperor for life. It was Your Majesty who led us out. My brother said that Your Majesty is a wise ruler. The most important thing is that Your Majesty has ambitions and wants to achieve great achievements is no less than the founding Taizu. Only an emperor like Your Majesty can tolerate capable people and strangers instead of relying on ministers to stick to the rules."

After a pause, Deng Yun added: "So what my brother did with me was not 'playing', but was trying his best to get your majesty's attention and be able to use it for your majesty."

The strategy of governing bandits may be the idea of ​​brother Deng Cui, but how to please the emperor is his own method.

Even though Han Ruzi knew this, he still felt it was useful. He had to admit that it was not easy to tolerate the "talent" who was eccentric with the Deng brothers and sisters. In the history of the Great Chu, only Taizu had done it.

"Take off your clothes." Han Ruzi ordered.

"Hmm?" Deng Yun was stunned, this time she was really stunned.

"Aren't you going to sleep with?" Han Ruzi developed a fighting spirit and wanted to conquer this somewhat complacent concubine.

Deng Yun slowly untied her clothes, and before she took off one, she asked: "So many women in the palace are deliberately trying to serve the bed. Are Your Majesty very proud? I just took the lead and felt a little proud."

"Whoever is treated like this is not his ability to be an emperor. What can I be proud of? The only person who is qualified to be proud is Taizu. He left the throne for his descendants, and the successors can only enjoy the success."

Deng Yun took two steps forward, "So, even His Majesty is trying to please the 'Emperor'?"

Han Ruzi just hoped that he could be worthy of the emperor's identity, but he didn't want to say to Deng Yun, just staring at those smart eyes coldly.

Deng Yun's face turned red with a rare look and she whispered: "Can you blow out the candle? This kind of thing... This kind of thing is more difficult than I expected..." (To be continued.)
