Chapter 914 Intolerance (1)

It rained and the weather was much cooler.

Li Jun entered the house and asked Liu Tienan: "General, has there not been a reply from Haocheng?" It has been six days, and there is no news at all, which makes Li Jun a little anxious.

Liu Tienan knew about Li Jun's past, so it was understandable that he cared so much about this matter: "No. And if I make a good guess, there will be no reply from Pick City." If he doesn't reply, it means rejecting his proposal.

Li Jun was a little astonished, and asked: "There will be no reply? Why?"

Liu Tienan shook his head and said: "I don't know about this. It's just that according to the usual practice, if the princess agrees with my suggestion, there should be a reply yesterday." The idea of ​​the princess. If the princess wanted to have this idea, she would have implemented it long ago, so I don’t need to wait for you and me to tell you.”

Li Jun asked: "I don't understand, the princess was able to help us when the disaster in the Northwest was so severe. Now that there is still food in the grain depot, they are fully capable of helping these victims, why are they unwilling to save them?"

Liu Tienan didn't understand either, and he didn't think about it, but said: "The princess has her own considerations for doing this." They only care about marching and fighting, and the rest is not under his control. It was because of the pity of these disaster victims that he wrote that note. But the princess didn't reply, and it was impossible for him to write a second scripture.

Seeing Li Jun's dejected expression, Liu Tienan said, "I feel sorry for these refugees just like you, but we must not forget our responsibilities."

Li Jun said, "I know." There was no order from above, and no matter how pitiful he was for the victims, he dared not do anything.

At this time, Gu Li walked in and said anxiously: "General, it's not good. I just got the news that many refugees outside the city have been infected with the plague."

In this era, talk about changes in the epidemic.

Hearing this, Liu Tienan said with some gratitude: "Fortunately, these refugees were not allowed to enter the city." The plague spread quickly, and as long as one person entered the city, the entire city of Linzhou might not be safe.

In addition to increasing the troops on the city wall, Liu Tienan immediately wrote a note to inform Yuxi of the situation.

Two and a half days later, Yuxi received Liu Tienan's brochure. After reading the excerpt, Yuxi's expression was very ugly.

Gang Yuxi was discussing matters with Tan Tuo, looking at Yuxi's face, Tan Tuo asked: "Princess, but what happened to Linzhou City?" Xu Wu said when he brought the booklet in just now, Linzhou hastened this matter Memorial.

Yuxi said: "A plague has broken out among the refugees." Once the plague spreads, there will be countless deaths and injuries.

Tan Tuo said: "These refugees must be prevented from entering the territory, otherwise the plague will bring in, and the consequences will be unimaginable." The garrison troops near Hebei and Shandong must be notified as soon as possible, and they must guard the city gates to prevent refugees from entering.

Yuxi nodded, but she didn't need to give orders. As long as the generals of the defending army receive news that the refugees outside Linzhou City are infected with the plague, they will step up their vigilance.

Because the plague was not under their control, although he was a little startled, Tan Tuo was not nervous.

For dinner this day, Yuxi went back to the backyard to eat. Liu Er and the triplets keenly felt that Yuxi was not in a good mood.

Brother You asked: "Mom, what's wrong with you? Is there something embarrassing." It was the first time she saw Yu Xi's face sour, and she felt that something serious happened.

Yuxi smiled and said, "It's nothing."

After dinner, the triplets and Liu'er did not leave immediately. Brother You stood next to Yu Xi and asked, "Mother, just tell me what's going on, you're bored and uncomfortable!"

Yu Xi touched Brother Yu's head and said: "It's really fine. It's just that there are too many official duties, and mother is a little tired."

Brother Yu muttered, "Mother fooled me again.

"Being busy with official duties is tiring at most, but it's not like today's frowning is almost knotted. It is conceivable that this matter is very difficult. It's only because he is too young to help, and my mother doesn't tell him anything. I really hope to grow up soon so that I can help my mother share the burden.

Seeing this, Liu'er asked: "Mother, when will daddy come back?" When daddy comes back, he can help mother share the burden.

Yuxi smiled and said: "Your father will probably arrive in Yucheng now. As for when she will come back, this mother is not sure."

Brother Xuan said beside him: "Eldest sister has injuries, so she is not suitable for riding a horse, so she can only ride a carriage. Thinking about it, she won't be able to come back in a month." Riding a carriage is much slower than riding a horse.

After talking for a while, Yuxi said: "Go back to the yard first, mother is a little tired and wants to rest early." In fact, she was really in a bad mood, and she didn't want to infect a few children with this mood, so she thought Stay alone.

Out of the main courtyard, Brother Rui said: "Mother must have encountered something very embarrassing." Even the careless Brother Rui could see it, so it is conceivable that Yuxi really did not restrain her emotions this time.

Brother Yu nodded and said: "Second Sister, Second Brother, I'm going to write a letter to Dad, so that Dad can come back early." Mother didn't tell them anything because they were young and felt that they couldn't help. But father is different, mother will definitely tell father if there is anything embarrassing.

Liu'er said: "Tell grandpa about this, please help deliver the letter." It's not that they couldn't find someone to deliver the letter, it's just that the speed was not enough.

After Brother Yu finished writing the letter, he went to find Huo Changqing.

Huo Changqing already knew about the plague, so after listening to Brother You's words, he naturally knew why Yuxi was in a bad mood. For the sake of the overall situation, she couldn't help these refugees, but she couldn't bear it, so she was entangled.

After receiving the letter, Huo Changqing said straightforwardly: "I'll have someone deliver the letter to your father right now."

Sister Quan brought a cup of warm water into the room, handed it to Yu Xi who was in deep thought, and asked, "What's the matter? After coming back from the front yard, my complexion looks bad."

Yuxi took the water, took a sip and put it on the table next to her, whispering: "Some of the refugees under the city of Linzhou have been infected with the plague. It must spread in a large area soon." Doctors with few medicines are basically a dead end.

Sister Quan moved a small stool and sat beside Yu Xi, and asked, "Are you feeling bad because of this?"

Yuxi nodded.

Sister Quan was silent for a while and said: "If you really can't bear it, then help them!" It's not too difficult to help these refugees in Yuxi's position.

Yuxi shook her head and didn't speak.

When Aunt Quan saw this, she knew that this matter was not as simple as she thought: "Don't think about it, it's rare that there is nothing to do today, so you should take a rest early!" Today is not what it used to be, Yuxi's current position, in a word Everyone must be cautious, let alone such a big matter.

Yuxi hummed and said: "Nurse, I want to take a medicinal bath." It was still early in the morning, and she couldn't fall asleep even if she lay down now.

Sister Quan nodded and told Tong Fang to make preparations, while she stayed in the room with Yuxi: "Don't think about it, it's useless to think about it. If you want to blame, blame God for being too cruel." If these people don't Those who suffer from disasters will not become refugees, and there will be no plagues. So it's God who doesn't give people a way to live, and it has nothing to do with Yuxi.

Yuxi shook her head slightly, but still did not speak.

Sister Quan said helplessly: "Don't get caught up in the horns. Many people here have also suffered disasters, but because of you they don't have to leave their homes and become refugees. After all, the court's inaction has nothing to do with you." Yes The incompetence of the imperial court has nothing to do with them.

Yuxi said: "You don't need to comfort me, mother. Since I have made such a decision, I won't think too much about it."

"Cough..." A high position and authority means more responsibilities, and one cannot act as one wishes. Otherwise, she would definitely help those refugees.

Mother Quan thought for a while and changed the subject: "Princess, I heard that the Feng family and the Han family have already fixed the wedding date, which will be on November 27th." Talking about the marriage of these juniors can also make Yu Xie is relaxed and relaxed, don't be so tense.

Yuxi asked: "Then brother Shun and the girl from the Liu family, has the wedding date been fixed?" Brother Shun will be eighteen this year, and he will be nineteen after the new year, so it's time to get married.

Mother Quan shook her head and said: "I haven't heard of this, maybe the wedding date hasn't been fixed yet! Miss Han's wedding date, the old lady and uncle should come back, right?"

Yuxi shook her head and said: "It's too far apart, and there are so many things this year, so the elder brother has no time to come back. As for the mother, she is not in good health and should not travel long distances, and the elder brother will not let her come back."

Mother Quan said: "If the elders don't come back, will the Feng family have any idea?"

Yu Xi smiled and said: "What ideas can I have? Because I can't get away from official duties, and it's not because I didn't come back on purpose, I believe General Feng can understand."

Sister Quan nodded, and said again: "Mr. Ye has been gone for four years, shouldn't uncle and master remarry?" If Han Jianming remarries his wife, then Han Ying's marriage should be married later The wife has done it.

Yuxi shook her head and said, "I don't know."

"There isn't a mistress in this family who doesn't look like one after all. I can't let the second uncle and wife handle the marriage of the third young master and the others in the future, right?" Aunt Quan is just discussing the matter, and has no other ideas.

"It's not my turn to worry about this matter." If this kind of matter is managed well, everyone will be happy, but if it is not managed well, they will complain. Besides, she has so many things to do, and she doesn't have time to take care of Han Jianming's personal affairs.

Tong Fang walked in and said, "Princess, the medicinal bath is ready and you can soak it." The medicine is prepared by the whole mother, as long as you master the cooking time.

After taking a bath, Yuxi applied balm on her body before falling asleep. She usually fell asleep when she fell into bed, but today Yuxi was lying on the bed rolling over and over, unable to fall asleep no matter what. I didn't fall asleep until midnight.

Meilan heard a cry of pain in a daze, and immediately got up from the bed and rushed into the bedroom.

Turn on the lamp, and see Yuxi hugging her knees with her hands and curling up into a ball. This situation frightened Meilan almost to death: "Wangfei, Wangfei, what's wrong with you?"

Yuxi looked up at Meilan with a terrified face, and said lightly: "It's nothing, you don't have to worry, it's just a nightmare." She dreamed of being burned to death again. It's also because Yuxi's concentration is good now, like when she was a child, every time she had this nightmare, it took a long time to recover from it.

Meilan was a little startled, she looked at the beads of sweat on Yuxi's forehead and asked, "Princess, what dream scares you like this?" The concubine has always been the one who never changes face when a mountain collapses in front of her, but a dream scares her. His face was pale and he was sweating profusely. One can imagine how terrifying this dream was.

Yuxi didn't answer this question, but just said: "Get someone to prepare water, I want to take a bath." Her whole body was wet and sticky, and she couldn't sleep without taking a bath.

Such a noise naturally awakened Madam Quan. Seeing that Yu Xi's expression was not very good, she asked, "What's wrong?"

Yuxi said: "It's nothing, I just had a nightmare." This is not a nightmare, it is something she has experienced in her own life.

Every time I dream of that scene again, I repeat the feeling that life is worse than death.

After putting on her clothes, Yuxi stood up and said, "Nurse, you should go back to rest at this late hour, don't get sick." She was young and could withstand the hardships, but the nun was over sixty years old, she couldn't bear it. tired.

How could Madam Quan go to sleep with peace of mind: "I won't be able to fall asleep even when I go back, so I might as well talk to you."

Yuxi shook her head and said, "No, I'm fine, Mammy, go back to sleep!" She doesn't want to talk now, she just wants to be alone.

Sister Quan hesitated for a while, but nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go back and rest, call me if you need anything."

Yuxi lay on the bed after taking a shower, and didn't sleep again. I kept looking out the window until dawn. When I woke up the next day, I had a big dark circle under my eye.

She didn't use eggs to apply any more, and Yuxi went directly to the front yard with the dark circles under her eyes. Seeing Yuxi's haggard face, Xu Wu was shocked: "Princess, what's wrong with you?" Even if it was rumored about Yunqing and Liu Shi, the princess had never been so haggard.

Yu Xi waved her hand and said, "Send someone to invite Tan Tuo, An Zike, Shen Chunting and the others over." After thinking all night, Yu Xi finally decided to help the victims.

In half an hour, twelve ministers were summoned. When all the people arrived, they entered the study room together.

Seeing that Xu Wu was about to step back, Yuxi said, "Stay here and listen too!"

Xu Wu was a little surprised, but still nodded and said: "Yes, Wangfei." He would not stay here to discuss politics on weekdays. Today is so abnormal, it must be a big deal.

Everyone was thinking about what happened outside just now, otherwise they would not have summoned so many of them. Unexpectedly, Yuxi summoned them to discuss the rescue of the disaster victims who were not under their control.

Tan Tuo was a little puzzled. In his mind, Yuxi had always had a big picture, but this time she lost her sense of proportion. Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Tan Tuo suppressed the doubts in his heart and asked, "Princess, Hebei and Shandong are areas under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, and they should be rescued by the imperial court if they suffer a disaster. If we come forward to help, we are helping the imperial court to reduce the burden." .” As Zaifu, he was naturally the first to stand up at this time.

Shen Chunting immediately added: "It also increases the burden on ourselves." They themselves still have millions of victims in need of assistance, so they have no spare energy to help the victims in Hebei and Shandong.

The twelve ministers convened all opposed it, but none of them agreed. (to be continued)
