139:Intercession (2nd Watch)
This year's drought has affected not only Anzhou, but also the towns around Anzhou, but this matter has not been reported to the imperial court, and some people deliberately do not let the imperial court know about the matter.
And Rong Zhi has been in Liguo for most of the year, even if he came back once, he came back because of the plague in southern Xinjiang, where do you have anything else to worry about, I only received the news before that it was said that there was a drought in Anzhou and a decrease in harvest, but it was not said that it was so serious that there was no harvest, King Shen and Lou Yichen naturally didn't care too much, and they wouldn't specifically tell Rong Zhi, who knew that it was so serious.
It was calm before, but as a result, the civil unrest was about to break out, and it was so chaotic that it was difficult to control, obviously someone was secretly promoting, and there were only a few people secretly promoting.
And the consequence of this incident is that she was attacked again.
In the past, the floods in southern Xinjiang caused plagues, and now there is a drought in Anzhou, and the country of Chu has not been peaceful in recent years, and these incidents only started after she returned to Chujing, and there are rumors that it is because of her, the lone star.
Now her life experience is known to everyone in the world, and it is not a secret why she was sent away from Liguo Yudu back then, even if she said that it was planned by Tang Hou that year, she was framed, but who can tell clearly whether it is true or false, the people have always been ignorant and ignorant to listen to the wind and rain, no, there are hidden rumors among the people, saying that she, the lone star, brought disasters to the Chu State, which has caused the wars and disasters in the Chu State in recent years......
Lou Yueqing is very tired of this kind of thing, it seems that she has been controversial since she set foot in Chujing, and the gossip about her has not stopped, and now this time, those people are using these public opinions to deal with them, putting pressure on Rong Zhi, and what they did was just to bring down Rong Zhi.
Because their collusion and those ambitions and conspiracies have been hidden from Rong Zhi, if they don't bring down Rong Zhi, they will soon be cut off by Rong Zhi one after another, and naturally they will jump over the wall in a hurry.
Rong Zhi was furious, sent a lot of people to investigate the matter, just three days ago the results came out, after getting the results, Rong Zhi issued an edict, took back the military power of Rong Kang, the king of Yuejun, let the king of Xining who was far away in Wei County return to Beijing, and sent King Shen in Anzhou directly to Wei County to temporarily replace the position of King Xining, and sent Xue Zhen to personally escort King Shen to Wei County, and by the way, he brought his handwritten warrant to King Wei.
Of course, along with the warrant, there are also tokens of a son and a daughter of the King of Wei in Chujing and a map of the territory.
This is the last warning!
Lou Yueqing stayed for half a month and returned to the palace, but on the second day after returning to the palace, someone came to see her.
It's Qin Linglong.
Qin Linglong has been married to Rong Kang for two years.
As the aunt of the little emperor, the daughter of the Qin family, and the half of the mistress of the Xining Palace, Qin Linglong is a rare nobleman in Chujing, plus she is gentle and generous, and her popularity is very good, and she has also attracted a lot of relationships between her mother-in-law and her mother's family.
When she came, Lou Yueqing was sitting in the gazebo by the lake and caressing the piano elegantly, looking comfortable.
Qin Linglong was attracted by Li Kui, walked up to the pavilion, stood behind Lou Yueqing, looked at Lou Yueqing's back, her eyes moved slightly, and she knelt down to ask for peace: "Courtiers see Princess Regent!"
Lou Yueqing's movements towards the piano did not pause, and she only said lightly: "Flat!"
Qin Linglong got up as she said.
"Sit down!"
Qin Linglong thanked him and sat at the table nearby.
Then, as if she didn't exist, Lou Yueqing continued to stroke the qin, and the low sound of the piano sounded one by one, but the sound of the piano was a little chaotic, there was no melody, I couldn't hear what I was playing, I could only hear it, and the timbre was excellent.
This piano is a first-class product, the strings are made of silk from the snow silkworms of the Tianshan Mountains, and even the material of the body is made of high-grade paulownia wood, smooth as jade, and the sound of the piano is ethereal and low.
Qin Linglong waited for a while, and seeing that she was still bent on stroking the qin and ignoring herself, she opened her mouth to make a sound, but she was afraid and didn't dare to disturb, so she could only continue to wait.
After a while, Lou Yueqing stopped, withdrew her hand, and gently stroked the body of the piano, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but hook, as if she liked this piano very much.
I couldn't help but admire: "The timbre is deep, the voice is long, it's really a good piano!"
Mo Li said with a smile: "The master likes it, and it is not in vain that His Majesty has worked hard!"
Yes, this piano was sent by Xiao Zhenglin, named Fu Ling, it has been hundreds of years, it was accidentally obtained by Xiao Zhenglin during the southern and northern wars, and it was also given to Jing Fei back then, and after Jing Fei left, it has been left in the Hall of Eternal Life, but for some reason, Xiao Zhenglin sent someone to send it to her.
Lou Yueqing pouted angrily: "He's worrying about it, he has come all the way to send such a thing, and if he wants to send more treasures, he is stingy!"
Mo Li smiled, her master was obviously very happy, but he still looked disgusted.
She doesn't like this piano very much, she has a lot of good pianos, there is no shortage of such one, but this is a wish of His Majesty, from afar, and sent someone to send it, and still pick her favorite instrument, she is still very happy.
Raising his eyebrows, Mo Li smiled and teased: "If the master wants the treasure, how easy it is, send a letter back, maybe Your Majesty will send you all the treasury!"
Lou Yueqing rolled her eyes speechlessly, she was not so outgoing that she even had to move her mother's treasury to her in-law's house.
After thinking about it, she ordered: "Move this thing back to the room and put it on hold, and go to the kite warehouse in the house!"
Hearing this, Mo Li looked at her suspiciously and reminded: "Master, the one in the house was given to you by His Royal Highness the Regent!"
It's changed like this, and the regent is expected to be in a mood.
Lou Yueqing listened to this, tilted her head and thought about it, and said, "Then let's put it aside together!"
Mo was silent, and immediately moved the piano and sandalwood frame back with Tingxue and Tingyu, who were waiting on the side.
In the pavilion, Lou Yueqing and Qin Linglong, who had been hanging there for a long time, were suddenly left.
Qin Linglong was a little ugly, because she had been hanging there for a long time, the chat between Lou Yueqing and Mo was a little embarrassing, in the past two years, she was like a fish in water in the circle of Chujing's upper nobles, and no one dared to treat her like this.
The hand holding the teacup tightened, her eyes were full of displeasure and dissatisfaction, and when she saw Lou Yueqing standing up, she immediately suppressed the dissatisfaction in her heart, and then stood up, standing there with a respectful attitude.
Lou Yueqing looked at her with an uncertain expression, and smiled: "Princess Yuejun, I've kept you waiting!"
Qin Linglong immediately said in panic: "Where is the princess, it is the concubine who is bothering the princess!"
Lou Yueqing raised her eyebrows, looked at Qin Linglong with a modest and respectful look, and smiled undiminished: "I haven't seen you for a long time, Princess Yuejun is looking more and more aggressive!"
"Thank you Princess, for the compliment!"
Lou Yueqing stopped talking again, walked to the table, picked up her cup of tea, sat down, and took a sip slowly.
Qin Linglong faced Lou Yueqing and stood there with her head down, looking confused and uneasy.
Lou Yueqing asked lightly: "What is the important matter for the princess of the county to come over today?"
Qin Linglong immediately knelt down.
Lou Yueqing frowned, looked at her and asked lightly, "What does the princess of the county mean?"
Qin Linglong immediately trembled and said, "The concubine implores the princess to raise her noble hand and show mercy to the Qin family and the Xining Palace!"
Lou Yueqing's expression was stunned, her face gradually returned to coldness, and she slowly put down the teacup.
Looking at Qin Linglong quietly, she said lightly: "What are you talking about...... What does that mean?"
The tone was cold, and there was no trace of emotion to be heard.
Qin Linglong's face froze, but she didn't know what to say.
Lou Yueqing saw that she didn't know how to talk about it, her face was still cold, and she only said, "You are not as smart as your sister!"
Qin Linglong's face froze, and she looked at Lou Yueqing with some puzzlement.
Lou Yueqing slowly stood up, paced to the edge of the pavilion, and said lightly: "If you can be smarter, you should know that you shouldn't come to me now, let alone plead with me for your mother's family and your mother-in-law!"
Hearing this, Qin Linglong said with a puzzled face: "The concubine doesn't understand what the princess means!"
She knew that her father was placed under house arrest with empty power, her husband was removed from military power, her father-in-law was ordered to be recalled, and the power was replaced by Rong Zhi's faction, which must have angered the regent, and Rong Kang told her last night that this time the matter involved Lou Yueqing, so it would be very troublesome, so she came to Lou Yueqing.
She doesn't understand the government and politics, she doesn't understand the power scheme, she only knows whether the Qin family and the Xining Royal Mansion can be preserved this time, it all depends on Lou Yueqing's attitude.
