Chapter 210 Loyalty
In March, news of success in suppressing bandits came frequently. Although Yun Qing looked a little gloomy, he still held his breath. But Huo Changqing couldn't do it anymore.
Huo Changqing looked for Yuxi and asked, "We won't make wedding clothes for Chen Yu, right?" With this momentum, Chen Yu's contributions will become greater and greater, and by then they will definitely return with a full reward, and they will really lose a lot of money. up.
Yuxi frowned and said, "Uncle Huo, don't you think Chen Yu's suppression of the bandits went too smoothly?" This is what every general who leads troops in battle expects. However, Chen Yu went too smoothly. If the suppression of bandits could have been as smooth as Chen Yu's, they would have been wiped out long ago.
Huo Changqing said: "You mean, there is fraud in it?"
Yu Xi nodded slightly, and said: "There must be something wrong. I don't believe that Ji Xuan's heart would be so big, and he would be indifferent to Chen Yu's achievements." Yu Xi has collected a lot of information about Ji Xuan during this time. The more you know, the more you know that Ji Xuan is a black-hearted master. How could such a person be willing to become Chen Yu's stepping stone.
Huo Changqing felt that just in case, he should send someone over there, this is also a precaution. Otherwise, their previous plans would be in vain.
Yu Xi flatly refused, and said: "Uncle Huo, we can't touch this matter. Once we touch our hands, we will be discovered by the spy. At that time, it will be impossible for the imperial court to let Yunqing out of Yucheng." Anyone can kill Chen Yu, that is, they couldn't move.
Huo Changqing said: "What if Chen Yu returns to Beijing safely?" Chen Yu's return to Beijing is equivalent to adding a merit to his resume.
Yuxi said: "If Chen Yu wiped out the bandits and returned to the capital smoothly, I can only say that he is lucky. As for us, we will just look for opportunities in the future." General, he can do whatever he wants in the land under his jurisdiction, even outrageous and greedy, but he can't show too much ambition. Otherwise, the emperor will be the first to tolerate it. They don't have the strength to fight against the imperial court now, so they can only lie dormant. As long as you have enough strength, you won't be afraid.
Huo Changqing also knew that he was impatient, and said: "My health is almost in good condition. I will go to the school to pick a batch of seedlings in two days and bring them to Zhuangzi for training." Class study, more than 800 children, enough for him to choose.
Yuxi wished that Huo Changqing would train more useful people. These children are all favored by their husband and wife. With this relationship, the chances of betrayal in the future will be much less.
On the capital side, Han Jianming received a letter from Yuxi. Seeing that Yuxi said in the letter that Yunqing had accepted the offer to be loyal to the emperor, his face changed a little. Immediately called Mr. Zhao and asked: "Yunqing gave the emperor a note, saying that he would be loyal to the emperor? Why didn't we hear the news?"
After reading the letter, Mr. Zhao pondered for a moment and said, "The book was either lost or suppressed."
Han Jianming thought more about which song Yuxi and Yunqing were singing: "When the emperor ascends the throne, Yunqing will show his loyalty to the new emperor. This is not like what Yunqing and Yuxi would do." But the problem is, he definitely wrote this letter from Yu Xi!
Mr. Zhao thought for a long time, and said: "Master Guo, should we tell the emperor about this?" Fourth Aunt's grandma is really becoming more and more elusive now.
Han Jianming did not believe that Yuxi would be loyal to the emperor, because allegiance to the emperor was tantamount to allegiance to the concubine Song. No, she should be called the Queen Mother of Song now. With Yuxi's temperament, unless she is forced to do nothing, it is absolutely impossible. Han Jianming muttered, "What the hell is this girl planning?"
If he couldn't figure it out, Han Jianming didn't want to.
Mr. Zhao asked: "My lord, is there something else in this letter?" This means whether there is a mystery hidden in the letter. Seeing Han Jianming shaking his head, Mr. Zhao knew that Yuxi really knew that the secret in the letter had been cracked.
Han Jianming stayed in the study that night, and after thinking about it for most of the night, he finally decided to tell the emperor about it. No matter how well Yuxi sings,
As the big brother, he has to help support the situation. Han Jianming has seen through it. If he gets involved in the current situation in the capital, he would really want to die. He would rather be a mediocre person than save his family.
The next morning, Han Jianming went to greet the Qiu family, and repeated the old saying with the Qiu family, saying, "Mother, I want the second brother and sister to go to Yucheng. Although Yuxi is in Yucheng and can take good care of the second brother, but After all, I am not as caring as my own wife." Of course, these are all excuses, and only Han Jianming knows the real reason.
Knowing a son is like a mother, Qiu Shi knew something was wrong as soon as he heard the words: "Why did you have to send Lu Xiu and Brother Chang to Yucheng? Is there something you are hiding from me?" With a look of hesitation, Qiu said: "I am your mother, what else can I not say?"
Han Jianming weighed it in his heart, and said, "Mother, the water in the capital is too muddy and deep now, and I'm worried that the Han family will be involved. Asking the younger siblings to take Brother Shun and the others to Yucheng is also to leave a retreat for the Han family." Although Han Jianming couldn't find out where Yan Wushuang was, he could feel that Yan Wushuang had already moved. Although the Han family is said to be a century-old family, but now they have no military power, there is really something wrong, and they can't protect themselves at all. As for the power of the Han family, he knew about it as early as the night of Xiantai's palace change.
All the Buddhist beads in Qiu's hand fell to the ground: "What? You were also involved?" What's going on in the court now, even Qiu's pilgrimage to the Buddha knows a lot.
Han Jianming shook his head, but he said: "In the capital, no family can really stay out of it." They are all chess pieces on the chessboard, and so is the Han family.
Qiu Shi bent down, picked up the Buddhist beads on the ground, calmed down, and said, "Is Yucheng safe?" She used to think that it was safer in the capital city than in Yucheng. Unexpectedly, this routine was reversed today.
Han Jianming said: "My brother-in-law is very good at fighting, and he is on the northwest border, so it is very safe." Even if there is a problem, Yunqing is a general in power, and his ability is enough to protect the safety of his wife, children and family.
After pondering for a long time, Qiu said, "Since you think Yucheng is safer than Beijing, then you should send Lu Xiu and Brother Shun to Yucheng!"
Han Jianming said: "If you want to go to Yucheng, you have to find a suitable reason." Letting Lu Xiu take the child rashly will definitely arouse suspicion. This matter must be well planned.
The pledge of allegiance to the emperor on Yunqing was suppressed by the people below. The emperor got the news from Han Jianming, and immediately asked for the booklet to be retrieved. As a result, after reading this booklet, I was not at all happy. It is true that Yunqing expressed his loyalty, but the problem was asking him for money. Yun Qing did not open his mouth like a lion, but only asked the emperor to allocate the military expenditure for the first half of the year.
The emperor put the notebook on the imperial book case, and asked King Jing and Lord Jianghou next to him: "Do you think Yunqing is sincerely willing to be loyal to me?" I always feel that there is a problem.
Master Jiang Hou said sharply: "The book on Yunqing must be for money." The Jiang family has always advertised that they are good ministers who are loyal to the emperor and patriotic. As soon as the emperor asked King Jing to be a lobbyist, Lord Jiang Hou agreed.
The emperor said: "Even if you know it's for money, you have to allocate the money." It's no good, it's just a joke to make others willing to serve you.
King Jing frowned and said: "I'm afraid the Ministry of Households is calling you poor again, saying that you have no money." Anyway, the Ministry of Households is saying that you have no money every day, so I never heard the minister of the Ministry of Households say a happy word.
The emperor said: "If you don't have money, you have to give it." Although he is the emperor, he is not the money that everyone loves. Allegiance to him must be for fame and fortune.
Yu Xiang knew that the emperor wanted to allocate money to the northwest, so he didn't object, and knew that he couldn't object, so he suggested to the emperor to allocate 500,000 taels of silver first, and then wait two months for the rest.
Hearing this, the prince's face softened a lot.
That night, King Jing finally had time to go back to the palace. As soon as I entered the room, I saw two little ones lying on the bed: "Why did you bring the baby here to sleep?" In the past two months, King Jing came back several times, and only these few times, they still came and went in a hurry .
Looking at King Jing's expression, Yuchen knew that there was a happy event: "Yan'er and Xia'er were not feeling well a few days ago, so I hugged them here to take care of the Buddha. I didn't expect that they would stay for so many days." As expected. They are twins, and if they want to get sick, they get sick together. It made her have one head and two big ones.
When King Jing heard that the child had a fever, he was a little anxious and asked, "How are the two children doing now? Are you alright?"
Yuchen smiled and said: "Take some medicine and it will be fine. But I am used to them sleeping with me, so I can't bear to let them go back." King Jing didn't come back, she just guarded the empty room alone, and felt a little lonely. The child sleeps with him, and this feeling of loneliness is gone.
King Jing felt that Yuchen spoiled the child too much.
Yuchen didn't argue with King Jing, and said: "When the prince came in, he had a smile on his face. I don't know what the prince is thinking?"
King Jing didn't even think about it, and blurted out: "Miss your fourth sister." Seeing Yuchen's puzzled face, King Jing hurriedly explained: "Yunqing made a note, expressing his willingness to submit to Brother Huang." The emperor was in a good mood, and he Arm work is also much easier. As for Yunqing asking for money, this can be omitted.
Yuchen didn't know Yunqing well, but he knew Yuxi very well. With Yuxi's vengeful temperament, how could she make her husband submit to the enemy. However, Yuchen did not dismantle Yuxi's position, and said with a smile: "My brother-in-law is also a solid-minded person. I was unwilling to win over life and death before, but the emperor was willing to surrender as soon as he ascended the throne."
These words reached King Jing's heart, many people in the capital remained neutral and even said that they were only loyal to the emperor. As a result, the prince ascended the throne and became the new emperor, and they didn't make any moves, they all shrank their heads like turtles. R8
