Chapter 1009 Terrible Intuition
Countless snowflakes fell from the sky, and when it was dark, a thick layer of white snow accumulated on the trees, ground, and eaves.
The futon walked into the house from the outside, shaking off the snowflakes on his body before entering the house. The earth dragon was burned in the house, and charcoal fire was also burned. The charcoal fire in the two copper pots is fiery red.
Xiang looked up at the futon, and hurriedly asked, "Where is the master? Are you coming tonight?"
The futon shook his head and said, "Liu Guang said that the master is busy, so he will sleep in the front yard tonight."
Xiang's face was a little ugly.
Seeing this, the futon sighed and said, "Ma'am, the most important thing for you now is to raise your baby well, don't think about anything else." The annual presents that the princess sent this time were only from the old lady and the master, not from my own wife. Dragon Boat Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival have both this time but not this time, it was a bright slap in the face. It happened that Xuan's matter was in front of her, and my wife was wronged, so I could only swallow the pain in my stomach.
Leaning on the chair, Mrs. Xiang rubbed her belly and smiled wryly: "It's also lucky to have him, otherwise there would be no room for me in this mansion." The princess must have annoyed her because of the incident between Mrs. Xuan and her sister last time. up. Otherwise, he wouldn't slap her in the face like this.
The futon couldn't help complaining: "The princess is really, the lady doesn't know anything about the Xuan family. Those who don't know are innocent, and the princess is too much."
Yuxi didn't know that Xuan wanted his sister to seduce Yunqing, neither Yunqing nor Qihao wanted to make Yuxi angry. So when preparing for the annual ceremony, Yuxi also asked Mother Qu to prepare Xiang's share. After Qi Hao knew about it, he told Yu Xi about what had happened to the Xuan family.
Qi Hao didn't think that Xiang Shi was innocent, if it wasn't for her, those two women wouldn't be able to get close to Yun Qing at all. If this incident passed quietly, he was worried that similar incidents would happen again, so he told Yuxi.
It's been so long, Yuxi won't be angry, but she doesn't feel very comfortable. Xiang Shi probably didn't know about it, but in the end this matter has nothing to do with her. Ruo Xiang wrote to her to tell her about it, and she passed away with a smile. But she acted like nothing happened, if it wasn't for what Ah Hao said, she would have been kept in the dark. Xiang's behavior, either he didn't think he was wrong at all, or he didn't take her seriously.
Xiang smiled wryly and said: "She is a princess, no matter what she does, she is not wrong!" Ordinary people will be said to be disrespectful to their sister-in-law. But her sister-in-law is the most honorable woman in the world, no one dares to challenge her no matter what she does.
"Is that what you think?" Han Jianming has been very busy recently as the war will start next year. However, knowing that Yuxi had lost Xiang's annual gift, he was afraid that Xiang would be sad, so he came here specially. But I didn't expect to hear this as soon as I entered the door.
Looking at Han Jianming who was expressionless, Mrs. Xiang panicked: "My lord, I dare not disrespect the princess."
Han Jianming was so disappointed, who was Yuxi? That was the biggest backer of the Han family, and Xiang didn't know how to be in awe or make friends, but instead wanted to put on airs of his sister-in-law. Not to mention Yuxi, he couldn't tolerate it.
Sighing, Han Jianming said, "I always thought you were a smart person, but now I think I was wrong." It was also because he thought Xiang was a smart person that he married her. But thinking about it now, he still thought too simply. Mrs. Xiang is smart, but her education limited her vision. What she focuses on is the one-third-acre land in the family, and she has no big picture.
This is a heavy word.
Mrs. Xiang panicked, stepped forward and took Han Jianming's arm and cried, "Master, I was wrong, don't be angry."
Han Jianming is not a soft-hearted person, but Xiang Shi is pregnant after all, and he doesn't want to provoke Xiang Shi's pregnancy: "You take a good rest, I have something else to do."
Xiang grabbed Han Jianming's arm tightly and refused to let go: "Master, I know I made a mistake, and I will definitely change it in the future."
The Buddha opened Xiang's hand, and Han Jianming said: "You have to remember that the princess is the sky of the Han family. Without the princess, the sky of the Han family will collapse." After finishing speaking, he left the main courtyard.
Xiang's whole body trembled.
Back in the front yard, Mr. Zhao did not leave at this time. In the past, Han Jianming would never talk about housework with Mr. Zhao, but this time he really couldn't help it.
"Marrying a wife and marrying a virtuous man, sir, you were right at the beginning,
I take it for granted. "It's too late to regret now.
Mr. Zhao said: "Mrs. is a housewife with limited eyesight, but Mrs. is a smart person, so I would like to mention more on weekdays!" Mr. Zhao also said that he has been with Han Jianming for more than 20 years, and the relationship is no longer master and servant. This word.
When Han Jianming took a fancy to Xiang Shi that day, Mr. Zhao was worried about it at that time. But Han Jianming felt that he was thinking too much and didn't listen to his words.
After humming, Han Jianming talked about what Yuxi asked him to do: "The food, grass and cloth are almost raised, and now there is not enough medicinal materials." Every province has tasks, and the tasks for Han Jianming are heaviest.
Mr. Zhao said: "There are a lot of medicinal materials in Yunnan, let the second master think of a way."
Han Jianming hummed and said, "I will write to Jianye." At the same time, he must tell Yuxi about it.
Mr. Zhao smiled and said, "Next year, we will be able to return to Beijing." Mr. Zhao is very confident about Yunqing.
"Do the math, it's been fifteen years since I left the capital." Time passed quickly, and he was in his early forties in a blink of an eye.
Mr. Zhao has a hesitant look on his face.
Han Jianming smiled and said, "Is there anything we can't say between you and me?" It can be said that Mr. Zhao is the person he trusts the most, not even Mrs. Xiang.
Mr. Zhao said: "My lord, let me get married as soon as possible! When my lord is married, I will be sensible." Although Brother Chang got the job, he didn't care about it at all, and got along so well that even Mr. Zhao couldn't see it. With such an heir, the future of the Han family is really unknown.
When Brother Chang was mentioned, Han Jianming's face darkened. But no matter how angry he was, that was also his eldest son. It can't be used, and it's impossible to kill him: "Let's set the wedding date in February!" The war should start in March and April, and the wedding date must be set before the war.
Mr. Zhao nodded.
After thinking for a while, Han Jianming said, "When the prince takes the capital, I'll submit a letter requesting to be transferred back to the capital." Because of the excessive luxury in the mansion, he wrote a letter of apology. Yuxi didn't blame him, but just told him to pay more attention to setting an example for the people below, but he still wanted to go back. If they are far away, the relationship will become unfamiliar, and if someone provokes and discord, the relationship will become more and more distant. Therefore, it is better to go back as soon as possible.
Mr. Zhao hummed: "Our side has the absolute advantage, Yan Wushuang has no chance of winning." It's just that he thought it would take two or three years before the war would start, but he didn't expect to start the war next year.
There are too many things to prepare before the battle, and it is impossible to hide such a big move from Yan Wushuang.
Meng Nian received the secret letter and said to Yan Wushuang: "Your Majesty, places like Anhui and Jiangnan are requisitioning grain and other supplies on a large scale. It seems that this battle next year is inevitable."
Yan Wushuang was silent for a while, and said: "The one who should come, will come."
Meng Nian said: "Your Majesty, the situation may not be as bad as you think. General Zhou and General Lou have also experienced many battles, and they may not be able to defeat Yunqing." In fact, he did not have the confidence to say this himself.
Yan Wushuang shook his head and said: "If you lose the hearts of the people, you will lose this battle without fighting." Many of the generals below have different ideas, no matter how powerful Zhou Zhan and Lou Qingyun are, they are powerless.
Meng Nian said unwillingly: "Then the capital city and the provinces of Shandong and Hebei cannot be handed over."
Yan Wushuang chuckled lightly and said, "Let's see if Yunqing is destined to be the emperor." How could he let Yunqing win the world easily!
Meng Nian didn't ask Yan Wushuang what to do, but said: "Your Majesty, most of the things have been transferred to Shengjing. There are still a few parts, we have to hurry up and transport them to Shengjing."
"Don't leave a needle and a thread for Yunqing. I don't think there are any spoils. What will Han Yuxi use to fill the financial loophole." Unless Han Yuxi can still get a gold mine.
No matter how free and easy he said it, Yan Wushuang felt uncomfortable. Although I had prepared for it long ago, I couldn't tell the feeling in my heart when I faced it. It was not reluctance but a little reconciled.
After dealing with the matter at hand, Yan Wushuang went to the harem. Before arriving at Zhanghua Palace, I heard a pleasant sound of the piano.
After Yuchen finished playing a song, she realized that Yan Wushuang was beside her, and hurriedly got up to salute: "The emperor is here, why don't people tell me?"
Yan Wushuang smiled and said, "I don't want to interrupt you." He was in a bad mood, but he felt better after listening to the piano.
Yuchen asked: "Has the emperor had lunch?" She happened to be fine after taking a nap, so she took the piano and played. But Yan Wushuang was busy with government affairs and often forgot to eat, so Yuchen asked one more question.
Yan Wushuang nodded: "I've used it." After speaking, he walked into the bedroom.
Yuchen made a cup of ginseng tea for Yan Wushuang to drink: "Your Majesty, my concubine will give you a press!" Judging by Yan Wushuang's appearance, he could tell that he was very tired.
After pressing for a while, Yan Wushuang felt much more comfortable. Squinting his eyes, Yan Wushuang said: "Yunqing is already mobilizing supplies, and will send more troops to Linzhou and Xiayi in a few years' time."
Yuchen's hand trembled, this is the rhythm of the war. After a while, Yuchen asked: "Your Majesty, didn't you say that it might take two or three years?"
Yan Wushuang narrowed his eyes, as if he didn't hear this.
Yuchen calmed down and said, "Your Majesty, I want to send some valuables to Liaodong." Yuchen was married with red makeup, and later he saved a lot of good things. If we don’t transport them away now, when the war starts, we won’t be able to take all these things away.
After humming, Yan Wushuang said, "Give some particularly precious ones to Meng Nian, and he will transport them away for you." If you move too much, you will be noticed by interested people. Once this news spreads, the capital will be in chaos.
Knowing Yan Wushuang's concerns, Yuchen hummed and said, "I will hand over the sorted things to Mr. Meng after the next year."
Yan Wushuang hummed and said, "Don't publicize this matter for the time being." In fact, he also knew that the news could not be kept secret, and it might be a day later.
"The concubine knows." Yuchen was worried when he said this. Now you can retreat to Liaodong, where can you retreat in the future! It's just that she didn't dare to say it.
Half an hour later, Eunuch Min reported outside: "Your Majesty, General Tie is asking to see you." Tie Kui took the elixir bestowed by Yan Wushuang, and his health improved a lot. During this period of time, it was particularly cooperative, and now it is almost better. Now that my health has improved, I must enter the palace to thank you.
Seeing Yan Wushuang, Tie Kui knelt on the ground and raised his voice, "Long live the emperor, long live, long live, long live."
Yan Wushuang was funny, and he wasn't deaf, so what was he doing with such a loud voice: "How is your body?"
Tie Kui prostrated himself on the ground: "Thanks to His Majesty's grace, his health is fine now." If Yan Wushuang hadn't been there, he wouldn't have been forced to use self-mutilation. Furthermore, Yan Wushuang gave him good medicine in order to send him to die. Therefore, he was not grateful at all, and hoped that Yunqing could call in sooner.
Speaking of which, Tie Kui really felt that the news brought by Falcon was very timely. Otherwise, when he recovered from his illness, he would have to do the butcher knife in Yan Wu's hands again, he really didn't know if he could bear it.
Yan Wushuang nodded and let Tie Kui continue to serve as the infantry commander: "You will take up the post in the next year!" There are only a few days left in the Chinese New Year, and there are only a few days left in the rush.
Tie Kui kowtowed three times heavily to express his gratitude to Yan Wushuang: "Thank you, Majesty Long En."
When Meng Nian entered the imperial study room, he saw that Yan Wushuang was in deep thought, and he didn't disturb him, so he just stood quietly in the middle of the room.
After a long time, Yan Wushuang asked Meng Nian, "Do you think Tie Kui is strange?"
Intuitively, Yan Wushuang felt that there was something wrong with Tie Kui, so he sent people to monitor him for several years, until Tie Kui was stabbed by the Falcon sent people to withdraw him. But this doesn't mean that Yan Wushuang doesn't doubt Tie Kui.
Meng Nian shook his head.
Yan Wushuang waved his hand: "Forget it, let's not talk about it." He felt that Tie Kui was a bit out of line, but he couldn't say what was wrong with him, and he didn't find anything wrong after more than ten years of surveillance.
"I'll let the imperial concubine pack up some valuables and give them to you, and you can send someone to send them to Shengjing in a few years!" Yuchen has a lot of good things in his hand, and these things should be kept for Abao and Achi .
Meng Nian hesitated: "Your Majesty, is this inappropriate?" If someone finds out, it will definitely cause trouble.
Yan Wushuang said expressionlessly: "Yunqing will definitely transfer troops after the next year, and the news will not be kept secret for long."
When Tie Kui returned to the mansion, he went into the study. Leaning back on the chair, Tie Kui heaved a sigh of relief. Seeing Yan Wushuang once is more tiring than fighting a battle.
"Master, is this meeting going well?" They couldn't understand how difficult Yan Wushuang was.
"Let me be the commander of the infantry. Let me be the commander of the infantry at this juncture, obviously because he wants me to be cannon fodder." As long as King Ming sent troops to the capital, he would definitely not be able to keep the capital. He guessed that Yan Wushuang would probably let him guard the capital. It's just that this matter can't be determined until the last moment, so he didn't say anything.
Zhong Shantong said, "Fortunately, it's finally over."
Tie Kui hummed and said, "You're right, at most half a year, we won't have to live in such fear." Even if Yan Wushuang retaliates, it's better than the current kind of frenzy. . Because of Yan Wushuang's revenge, he would kill him at most. But now, if he is a little careless, the whole family will die.
