Chapter 222: The Poisonous Lotus Cousin of the Reborn Girl in the Last Days, Thirty-Four
When Qingling saw Xu Tingye, she couldn't help but recall the past, and after a while, Xu Tingye summoned them in.
Xu Tingye was very surprised when he heard Tang Ming's report, and hurriedly asked Qingling about the specific situation.
So, Qingling started from the sneaky Turkic warriors who met them when they practiced outside at night, how they pretended to be ghosts and scared people, how they cheated and mixed in, and how they couldn't wait to peek at their parchment scrolls because they couldn't understand the Turkic language and made slow progress, how they were discovered, and so on. It's just that she has modified it slightly, nine percent true and one false, hiding her true identity as Yang Qingling and her practice in Ganye Temple, and in order to temporarily avoid Du Shaohuan's suspicion, she concealed that her arrow was the work of Ge Shu.
Xu Tingye said: "This Ashina Geshu is a soldier, and he has been infiltrating the Southern Dynasty for ten days and a half months, so he is so hidden, I am afraid that his heart is not small! It's a pity that Lin Gongzi doesn't understand Turkic and doesn't know how he acts." ”
Xu Tingye said that he was quite distressed later, frowning and shaking his head secretly. As the concubine of the middle palace, he has been educated by the prince since he was a child, but because he is the prince, he has few achievements in the military.
Tang Ming said: "Your Highness is relieved first, and now His Highness has sent people to let the two prefecture capitals of Guannei and Henan open warehouses cheaply for disaster relief, and then the capital will be safe and sound." ”
At that time, some homeless people were already trapped in the capital, and Jing Zhaoyin first asked the prince for instructions to open a warehouse to give porridge to calm the people. But this method is a bit of a pig's head in Qingling's opinion, and later, she also mentioned it to Tang Ming when she built a disaster relief method, so today's disaster relief, the capital only has small soup kitchens outside the city, and large soup kitchens are in other states and counties.
Qingling has always been either in a crisis or rushed to the capital to report the news, no moment is peaceful, at this time she saw Xu Tingye as she wished, although in her opinion there was a little less imperial domineering, but when she saw him Lixian corporal, she and Du Shaohuan did not slack off when she saw the young man, and the stone that had been hanging in her heart inexplicably put down more than half.
It must be known that she has no plans to rebel in this life, and she has analyzed it before, and it is too difficult to rebel in this dynasty without the right time, place and people, and it is too late in time. She can only rely on the opposite interest group of King Qin, the prince's faction, but if the prince can't support Adou, or a stubborn person, then she may have to fight for twenty more years.
In her opinion, an emperor who lacks a little imperial domineering and a little soft-hearted is not terrible, such as the history of the world, Renzong of the Northern Song Dynasty is an emperor who is not domineering enough, but Renzong is also a good emperor.
Qingling was relieved, the prince made her feel good, he was a lord who could listen to words, Tang Ming came to ask for a meeting so late, and he didn't lose his temper with the courtiers when he summoned him.
The most worrying variables were removed, and Qingling's thinking became clear again, when she heard Tang Ming mention the "nearby state capital" opening a warehouse for disaster relief, she recalled the various parchment rolls she had seen the night before.
"Not good!" Qingling exclaimed, "Your Highness, Ge Shu is a soldier, and there are not many people who infiltrated the Southern Dynasty this time, and I heard what Lord Tang said, their khan was captured, so he infiltrated the Southern Dynasty, one for the savior, and the other for revenge." So, I guess he will not only use the homeless people to cover up people's eyes, but also use his strength to fight. ”
"Borrowing strength?" Xu Tingye, Du Shaohuan, and Tang Ming were all a little puzzled.
"Not bad. If I were him, if I led hundreds of people to infiltrate the Southern Dynasty, I would use my strength to achieve my greatest goal. This force is the homeless, there are hundreds of thousands of homeless people, even if it is the two provincial soldiers, the ten battalions of the capital city defense army, and the eight battalions of the Su Guards, they may not be able to control it, and the defenders of the frontier and the feudal towns cannot save the fire from far away. Originally, His Royal Highness set up soup kitchens on the periphery to appease the displaced people, which could temporarily keep the capital safe, but ...... I'm guessing we're in a cocoon. ”
Tang Ming remembered that she had proposed those methods to evacuate the displaced people in the capital, and now she said that it was him who was cocooned and self-master, so Tang Ming looked at her with a rather bad face and said, "Lin Yu, can you finish it all at once?"
Now that the disaster situation is getting more and more severe, there are more and more victims, who are originally pouring into the capital one after another, and the capital is also too busy to settle on the ground. Now, according to the words of the crown prince in the periphery set up soup kitchens and resettlement sites, the Central Plains area of the Southern Dynasty political zhì cultural center, the east, west, south, north, and middle five strategic granaries, the prince ordered to open four warehouses, and the middle granaries in the suburbs of the capital are also in a semi-open state. In this way, the homeless people are attracted to almost encircle the capital on all sides, which is a natural encirclement.
If the four major granaries of the east, west, south and north run out of food, and the grain from the south cannot be delivered for the time being, then those hungry displaced people have only one choice, which is to flock to the central point - the capital reads;.
Under normal circumstances, there will be no food, but Ge Shu is a soldier, and the most basic saying of the soldier is that the army has not moved, and the grain and grass go first. Qingling used to know about Jingzhong Shishi but I heard from Mrs. Xiao, no matter what Mrs. Xiao said, she was only a woman in the inner courtyard, even if she was not ignorant, she also knew limited, so Qingling's previous knowledge was limited.
Now that I am seeking to see the prince, I am talking to the prince, Tang Ming and others, and my vision is naturally different.
Qingling seemed to see the sun, and said: "I said, how can Ge Shu delay for so many days...... Now, I just hope that it is not easy to arrange for others who are short of manpower, and it will be delayed for a few more days...... His Royal Highness the Prince, Ge Shu is going to burn our four granaries in the east, west, north and south. As soon as the nearby homeless people ran out of food, they just formed a natural encirclement of the capital. Please ask Your Highness to immediately mobilize the government soldiers to focus on defending the granary. ”
……
Although Xu Tingye also had questions about Qingling's origin, what she said was also reasonable, so she put aside her doubts first. summoned his henchmen overnight to discuss the matter.
Qingling has traveled through several generations, and Danqing's art is also quite attained, Shangguan Xing's life, she is good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and can also paint and then let the ministers inscribe poems, in order to show favor, such as: The former Chinese is not clear Gao American Yicheng Maharaja, that is, the later Prince Yicheng.
So, she sketched with a pen, first drew the appearance of Ge Shu and others, and described some characteristics of the Turkic people that are different from those of the Central Plains with the prince's henchmen: for example, the eyes are not pure black, the body is tall, there are some sheep and horses, the Chinese language is not very clear, and the hands have special calluses because they are good at arrows.
A young man who suddenly appeared and mobilized the people under the prince's hands Unless there is the protagonist's golden finger, Qingling is naturally not good, and she still can't figure out who is who is under the prince's hands.
Seeing that the prince arranged for people to go down to capture the Turks, and the city defense army strengthened the defense, Qingling finally felt a little relieved.
After a busy night, it was already dawn, and Qingling was about to draw the map she had seen in Ge Shu, but the injuries and fatigue on her body made her a little dizzy.
Du Shaohuan quickly helped her with his eyes, and said, "Brother Xian, you are still injured, I will send you to the hospital to take a look." ”
The prince was about to ask them to retire, and he also wanted to rest, when he heard Du Shaohuan say this, he couldn't help but say, "Lin Gongzi has an injury?"
"The grievances of the rivers and lakes, His Highness smiled. ”
"Gu summoned the imperial doctor to come over, it is better for the two of you to eat and rest in the house first, and now there are many things that Gu has to ask. ”
Not to mention that Du Shaohuan is the son of the noble and important minister's family, the prince also has the intention of soliciting when he sees the demeanor of these two people, and the prince has already guessed that Tang Ming has offered the hand of this young man surnamed Lin before, and these two people sent it to the door, how can he not be polite to Corporal Xian?
Although this young man surnamed Lin is a person in the rivers and lakes, the second son of the Du family has a background, and as for whether it is credible or not, it must be observed slowly.
How could Qingling ask the imperial doctor to show her injuries? What if she saw that she was a woman?
Qingling smiled very pretended and said, "His Royal Highness Prince Xie, but I am proficient in medical science, so I don't have to bother the imperial doctor, but I can borrow a pen and paper, and I will prescribe a prescription and catch the medicine according to the prescription." ”
The prince was astonished that a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy claimed to be proficient in medical science and did not need to summon a doctor.
Let people prepare paper and pen, study ink, pale young man is a famous person, pick up the pen and write.
But seeing her pen tactfully and fluently, the pen sonorous sound, the handwriting on the paper, and then look at the calligraphy, only feel that the vigorous vertical and horizontal, the law is strict, strong and chic, is compared with the current dynasty calligraphy master Zhiyun, the great Confucian Song Zhuoyang is not clumsy reads;.
I saw that she was good at danqing and drew the appearance of the Turks she remembered, but she didn't expect her calligraphy to be so good.
In ancient times, nine out of ten scholars and scholars paid attention to or liked calligraphy, and the prince added a bit of good feeling to his heart when he saw it.
Qingling and Du Shaohuan were arranged to live temporarily in the courtyard of the prince's mansion guest room, Du Shaohuan was parallel to Qingling all the way, and overheard him ask with the technique of transmitting sound into the secret: "Miss Lin, do you want to do something for the prince?"
Du Shaohuan is not a fool, as a member of the Du family, it is very troublesome for him to be involved in this prince. However, at that time, he couldn't do anything to leave her alone, but now, because of his soft heart, he seems to be getting rid of the unclean for a while.
"Yes. ”
"Why? Aren't you from overseas?"
"I've got to have a place to live. The prince is a good man, why is it wrong for me to defect to him?"
"Do you understand that the court is sinister?"
"Understood. The rivers and lakes are also very sinister, I almost died, and even the women's inner house is also very sinister, since everything is sinister, why don't you do it the same?"
"But you're a woman...... after all"
"When I get better, you can't defeat me, do you believe it or not?"
"Miss Lin's martial arts are indeed brilliant. But so what?"
"You are a man, I have the same ability as you, so why can't I do what a man can do? What do you think I use to learn literature and martial arts? Use it as a weapon to defeat any talented woman, noble girl, or virtuous woman who marries a good woman? Or after marrying, the inner house fights, the husband has a concubine and uses my literary and martial arts to suppress the concubine, if I am a concubine, I will use my literary and martial arts to defeat the main wife, and the concubine will be on the throne?"
Du Shaohuan was speechless.
……
Qingling stayed in the Prince's Mansion temporarily, while Du Shaohuan stayed for a day and then returned to Du's Mansion. Three days later, Qingling's external injuries improved, and after the internal force absorbed by Ge Shuna in his body was dissolved at night, all of which were transformed into the true qi of the Northern Darkness, the whole person was full of energy.
The prince was busy with government affairs, and he didn't have much time to see him, so Qingling's injury was almost healed, and he went to see the prince after the hidden danger of internal force was eliminated.
But seeing that the prince's main hall was heavily guarded, Qingling still couldn't enter, and Qingling asked people to pass it on before entering.
When he entered the main hall, he saw that the prince and his henchmen had a sad face.
Qingling paid homage, and the prince stepped forward and said: "Lin Gongzi came just right, and now, Lone is not hidden, as Gongzi expected, the two granaries in the north and west were burned and suffered heavy losses." ”
"What, didn't Your Highness make the strict family defensible?"
"Lone has taken Liang and Liu Er to prison, but this is to deal with the Turkic Ashina Geshu, but Lone knows very little about him...... "Because the emperor is old and in poor health, the prince is in a semi-prison state, and has the right to mobilize departmental soldiers and city defense troops, but he lacks a real lineage, his martial arts are not good, and he has never led soldiers.
The prince also wanted to capture the famous Ashina Geshu by himself, so as to boost morale and show his martial strategy.
Although the Korean soldiers were on guard, Ge Shu was really cunning, using the homeless people to set off a riot to attract most of the people, and then the dead soldiers sneaked in everywhere and lit fires, burning down the entire granary. The granary has been built for decades, and it is a plant and wood material, and it has been dry for a long time, and then the fire is pressing, and there is no water to water, how can it be extinguished?
Qingling listened to the prince's confidant, and smiled bitterly in his heart: In ancient times, there was no other way to extinguish fires, and everything that could be drunk was drunk, and the Turks delayed the time to extinguish the fire on the condition of paying for the lives of the dead, and when the fire was big, it would be difficult to extinguish it.
Qingling thought for a while and said: "Your Highness, it is important to play the emperor now, it is inevitable that someone will take the handle, don't worry about the rest, we will guard the capital." ”
As long as the prince is not known by the emperor for the time being, and he has a meritorious role in guarding the capital, then he can be safe in the end.
Although the prince was reluctant to take credit, after calculating it, he really had no military generals to use, so he could only agree.
The prince said worriedly: "The two granaries in the west and north have been burned, and now the number of displaced people is unpredictable, so what can be done if the grain is not good in the future? If the two warehouses in the east and south are not ......guaranteed, he still understands the internal affairs and people's livelihood, and the lack of grain is the biggest crisis.
Qingling said: "East and South Ercang...... I'm afraid Geshu won't really burn it anymore. ”
"Don't burn?"
"I can't burn it, because I can't burn it. If I were him, I thought that I had planned to burn the four warehouses together, however, His Highness ordered to strengthen the defense four days ago, and he found that the manpower of the four warehouses was not enough, so he could only concentrate on burning the west and north two warehouses. Now he has burned two granaries, but he has sacrificed hundreds of men, and he will never burn the other two granaries. "He burned the two warehouses in the west and north, just to take revenge for causing losses and trouble to the southern dynasty, and he needed more panicked displaced people to cover his people to come to the capital, and then use the burning of the two granaries to create a panic of lack of food among the displaced people outside the city.
"Then what will he do next?" the prince couldn't help but ask, hearing that what she said made sense.
"One more day of staying in the Southern Dynasty will be more dangerous and one less chance of winning. He's probably going to take a gamble. It's a pity that there are tens of thousands of homeless people in the capital, and he will mix in to create turmoil, His Royal Highness has a good heart, and those homeless people who entered the city before were not driven out of the capital. ”
"Lone now immediately ordered all the displaced people to be driven out of the capital. ”
"It's too late. ”
"Too late?"
"The soldiers are fast. When the granary was burned, hundreds of people died, leaving behind the corpses of the Turks, and he should have been able to guess that the Southern Dynasties would soon find out. In order to avoid long nights and dreams, only fast. Now His Highness has just received the news that the granary has been burned, so he has already gone to the capital to start the operation. ”
"However, the gates are heavily guarded, and they can't get in. A prince's henchman retorted.
"The capital is huge, with a population of millions, and some of the previous displaced people have already mixed in and have been ready to go. As long as Ge Shu alone can enter the city, he can mobilize this part of the people. ”
Qingling thought that with his martial arts, it would not be difficult to enter the city.
When she asked to see the prince the day before yesterday, she drew a picture of the mansion of the official eunuch that Ge Shuna saw, and the prince said that it was Cheng Qianshan's mansion, Qingling remembered that Mrs. Xiao said that Cheng Qianshan had captured the Turkic Khan and returned to Beijing, so she asked on the spot: "Is the Turkic Khan under house arrest in Cheng Mansion?"
The prince did not hide it, and at the same time, the prince also guessed that Ge Shu's people were coming to save the prince, and he had been secretly arranging.
Now, De Qingling analyzed that Ge Shu would not burn the other two granaries, but really act, and he immediately understood what Ge Shu's ultimate purpose was...... Book Tour
