Chapter 410: The Crow's Mouth
The news that Yunqing was conferred the title of Pingxi King, Yuxi knew about it on the fourth day after the imperial decree was issued. Yu Xi said with a smile: "The emperor is so generous this time, and I don't know what to plan?"
Han Jianming was also a little worried, and asked, "Yuxi, will you accept this edict when the time comes?" There are advantages to accepting it, but there are disadvantages in refusing it.
Yuxi said: "It must be picked up. The Northwest has been fighting for years, and now it must recuperate." Moreover, water conservancy projects are still under construction. Although corvee was conscripted, for the sake of progress, Yuxi asked Yunqing to transfer people from the army to help. These people in the army are transferred 10,000 people each time for ten days, so they come in rotation.
Hearing this, Han Jianming asked, "Yuxi, are you really planning to stay in the northwest?" Although Mr. Zhao said that there is no need to worry, Han Jianming was worried until he got an accurate answer.
Yu Xi said: "Brother, looking at the past dynasties, the first one who raised the banner to rebel is the one who dies the fastest." Although Yun Qing rebelled, but Yun Qing took the name of destroying Ji Xuan, occupying Uphold righteousness. If it goes against the imperial court, it will be untenable in righteousness.
Han Jianming looked slightly relaxed, and said, "You mean to wait for the opportunity?" As long as Yuxi has this heart, it doesn't matter to wait a few more years. Moreover, now is not a good time to rebel.
Yu Xi didn't answer Han Jianming's words, but asked instead: "Brother, which of the four kings with different surnames who founded the country survived?" All the four kings with different surnames were killed. So Yunqing was canonized as a king with a different surname, if he didn't find another way out, he would only be destroyed. Even if she and Yunqing can get along well, future generations will not have a good life.
Han Jianming was finally relieved now, and said, "It's fine if you succeed." As long as Yuxi has a heart and Yunqing's ability, the husband and wife will not be able to achieve great things.
Facing Han Jianming's blind self-confidence, the corners of Yuxi's mouth twitched: "It's also because you are my elder brother, so you are not prejudiced, and it's okay to think that women are in power. But other people may not have the same idea as you. It's been half a year, and it's also Not a single person with lofty ideals came to join him." Yuxi at this meeting was really thirsty for talents. But because she was in charge of the Northwest, and Yunqing's previous reputation was not very good, those educated people seemed to disdain to do things for their husband and wife. So far, no talent has been recruited. But Yuxi has already photographed the black widow and followed Wu Kuo to Jiangnan. There are many talents there, and I hope to find some useful ones.
Han Jianming smiled and said: "That's because they are short-sighted." The problem Yu Xi mentioned does exist, but I believe that as long as the school is well run and the reputation is established, there will definitely be educated people who will come to join them.
Yuxi smiled, and said: "I hope!" Women are too harsh in this world, and there are very few who can put aside the differences between men and women.
Han Jianming told Yuxi about one thing: "The people I stayed in the capital have lost more than half by now, and I have to find another group of people." Only a few very secret informants were left, and the others were He was arrested by the people of the court.
Yu Xi said: "It would be even better if he could be bought directly." The people in the Northwest speak with a Northwest accent. If you send them over now, people will definitely hear the clues.
What Han Jianming meant was a two-pronged approach: "It's still safe to train people yourself, and the ones you buy can only be temporarily, and they are not completely reliable."
Yuxi said: "It's too eye-catching to send people to the northwest now, and the group of people who will be trained will just be able to leave their teachers next year. Let's talk about this in a year's time!"
Han Jianming nodded, and then told Yuxi about Tie Kui. After hearing this, Yuxi frowned and said, "Brother, you didn't just grow up in Anshan, why did he know you?" This is strange.
Han Jianming also thought about this question before, but no matter how he thought about it, he felt that the two should have never met before. However, the question now is whether this person can be brought over,
"It doesn't matter how he knows me. The important thing is that he is Qiu Dashan's confidant. If we win over him, we can also learn about Yan Wushuang's actions." Yan Wushuang is very defensive about people and wants to find out from him. News is as difficult as reaching the sky. Now that I finally saw a hole, I naturally couldn't give up.
After pondering for a moment, Yuxi said: "If you send other people to contact him, he may not believe it. Since he has met Ah San, he can ask Ah San to go to the capital to talk to him. Since he knows that his weakness is love of money, that's good Solve it." I'm afraid that there is no weakness, like Yan Wushuang, until now she has not found this person's weakness.
Han Jianming pondered for a while and said, "Yan Wushuang is different from my brother-in-law. My brother-in-law is open-minded and treats his subordinates like brothers, while Yan Wushuang is moody and extremely difficult to deal with. Except for his die-hard loyalty, people like Tie Kui treat him like a brother." Loyalty. Following such a person, the people below will definitely have their minds fluttering and want to leave a way out for themselves. I think if you or your brother-in-law personally make a promise to him, you may be able to achieve unexpected results." Those who feel that the court building is about to fall are also looking for a way out, and I believe that people like Tie Kui are the same.
Yuxi thinks this is a good idea, Xu Yizhongli, and promises to help him find a way out after things are done, and if this Tie Kui really has a hard time under Yan Wushou, he will definitely be tempted: "You write it to me." Secret letter After finishing writing, she only needs to sign her own name and stamp her private seal.
Han Jianming also mentioned another matter: "Yuxi, the emperor has issued an imperial decree to choose a concubine. Girls from official families above the seventh rank must participate in the selection as long as they are fifteen years old."
Speaking of the palace, Yuxi asked the Queen Mother Song: "How is the old witch doing now?"
Han Jianming looked a little weird, and said: "The Empress Dowager Song has been recuperating in the Compassionate Ning Palace, and she didn't even show up when the former emperor died." This matter is strange no matter how you look at it.
Yuxi said: "The Empress Dowager Song is also a member of the Song family, Yan Wushuang probably won't let her go." Yan Wushuang wouldn't even let an innocent woman like Duan Xinrong go, how could she let her Yan family almost die Empress Dowager Song. Yan Wushuang's current inaction is just forbearance. Once he finds an opportunity, he will definitely kill all those who participated in framing the Yan family. There is an old saying that is true, the people who know you best are not your relatives, but your enemies.
Han Jianming hoped that the capital would be better and better, and they would be safe if the capital was worse. Putting aside the official business, Han Jianming talked about the private matter: "Your sister-in-law's life has improved a lot these days, thanks to Mother Quan."
Yuxi shook her head and said: "Nurse Quan said that my sister-in-law is in very bad health and needs to be recuperated for three to five years before she can recover, and she can't worry about it on weekdays."
Han Jianming frowned and said, "Mr. Lu is going to Yucheng next spring! You can't leave the housework to your mother, right?" Lu Xiu was going to Yucheng a few days ago, but Yuxi stopped her. The reason for Yuxi's obstruction is also very simple. The family hasn't had a reunion dinner together for a long time, and Yuxi wants to have a reunion year this year. Yuxi's statement was agreed by Han Jianming and Qiu Shi. Lu Xiu will not be able to go to Yucheng.
Yuxi felt that Han Jianming was worrying too much: "Let the mother in charge take care of it." The internal affairs of the Yun Mansion were also handed over to Nanny Quan and Mother Qu.
It was already a bit cold in late November. After finishing her work, Yuxi took the mink fur cloak and went back to the backyard.
The wind blew violently, blowing Yu Xi's hair to pieces. Walking into the yard, a few withered and yellow leaves on the jujube tree also fell on her head.
Although Liu'er is already eleven months old, Liu'er is not as active as Zao Zao, even if she could crawl early, she would not move when she was put on the kang, but lay quietly on the bed.
After entering the room, Yuxi picked up Liu'er who was lying obediently. Sister Quan hurriedly stopped him, handed the small hand stove in gilt silver and hundred flowers cloisonné enamel to Yuxi, and said: "Warm your hands first, then hold the child." A careless father is the same as a mother Carelessness is really a headache.
Yuxi smiled and said: "My hands are warm." She is a mother of two children, so she doesn't know this bit of common sense.
Looking at Yuxi who was holding Liu'er in her arms, Mammy Quan said, "Liu'er will celebrate her first birthday next month, shouldn't she be named? Or should we name her Yunliu?"
Yu Xi was taken aback for a moment, she was so busy during this time that she forgot about such a thing. The main thing is the nickname that is usually called, even Zao Zao is the same, the first name has never been called, and I am very busy, so I neglected this matter.
Sister Quan couldn't help but blame Yuxi: "You are too careless as a mother, you have forgotten such a big thing as the child's name. You always say that you want a bowl of water to be level, how can you do it like this?" Until a bowl of water is level." The children she brought up naturally have deep feelings, so Aunt Quan is very dissatisfied with Yun Qing and Yu Xi's behavior.
Yu Xi hurriedly said: "I will definitely give Liu Er a good name."
Sister Quan said: "Then I'll wait." It means that it is impossible to rely on Yunqing to get a nice name, so this burden has to be placed on Yuxi.
When Yun Qing came back at night, he saw Yu Xi frowning and holding a book to read, with a particularly tangled look. Yun Qing asked with a smile: "What are you doing? So embarrassing?"
Yuxi said: "Liu'er will be one year old soon, and she hasn't got a name yet? I'm thinking, what name should I give her?"
Yun Qing laughed and said: "Time flies so fast, Liu'er will be almost one year old in a blink of an eye." There are so many things I have experienced in this year, and they are more thrilling than the previous twenty years.
Yuxi didn't have time to think about it, so she pulled Yunqing to sit down and said, "Let's think about what name we should give Liu'er?" The name should not only sound nice, but also have a good meaning.
In the end, Yunqing didn't say he couldn't help, but made troubles as much as possible. No matter which name Yuxi chooses, he agrees. Seeing Yu Xi glaring at him angrily, Yun Qing said sincerely: "Yun Fei, Yun Xin, Yun Ying, no matter which name sounds good!" It sounds good and has a good meaning.
After finishing speaking, Yunqing added another sentence: "Choose one at random! Keep the other two for future use." As soon as the words came out, Yunqing knew that he had said something wrong, and hurriedly remedied: "Compared to Son, I prefer daughter."
Although Yuxi was a little depressed, she also knew that Yunqing had no intentions, so she wouldn't be angry with such a sentence: "You go take a bath first, let me think about it." These names are not bad, but they are called this Too many, she wanted to give Liu'er a different name. (to be continued)
