"Sir doesn't have to blame himself, even if we don't cocoon ourselves, others will take a rope to strangle us, but at this time, as long as the problem of food and salary is solved, everything can be said......

Originally, I just wanted the two eldest princesses to resist desperately, in order to dispel the ridiculous idea that the emperor suddenly wanted to make peace, who knew that the emperor was so vicious, not only to the king of Qin, but also to the tens of millions of soldiers guarding the border!

Xiao Shaotang punched the bookcase hatefully: "The Great Qi Jiangshan is actually not as important as a soul conjuring platform!

"This is not just a matter of silver, although the grain tax has not been confiscated now, but the tax silver handed over by the merchants of Daqi has always been a lot, and the household department is not really poor to the point of no silver, with Zhu Siming's smoothness, it must be what the emperor said, what he did, not allocating silver, just to force the prince to truce and negotiate peace......

Mr. Yuan muttered: "If you want to talk about food and salary, judging from the casualties of the Hu people now, the northwest side only needs to survive about twenty more days, and the Hu people will retreat." Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info save some use, hundreds of thousands of silver, there are still some, but if we want to take the silver out ourselves, I'm afraid that the one will be even more jealous, and I don't know what turmoil it will cause......"

Xiao Shaotang remembered the thick list.

King Qin's subordinates have not been idle in the capital and even in Daqi all over the years, and there is no shortage of property, but if these goods are used as military salaries, if they do not have a proper name, they will be held by others.

And a prince who was already deeply feared by the emperor could be labeled as a rebel if he took out his own military salary!

Xiao Shaotang paced around the room, he used to be just disgusted with the emperor, but now he really hated it - did he know that he could still sit on his dragon throne and act arbitrarily, how many border soldiers had paid for it with blood?!

"The son of the world, in the opinion of his subordinates, it is better to ......"

Mr. Yuan's mind was spinning quickly, and he quickly came up with a solution, but before he could finish his sentence, there was a knock on the door of the study.

"His Royal Highness, Mr. Yuan, Lord He, the servant of the ministry, has been summoned to the palace by the emperor!"

"What?"

Xiao Shaotang jumped in front of the person who came to report the news almost instantly, grabbed his arms tightly, and his phoenix eyes were angry:

"Why did he summon the seventh uncle into the palace?"

The person who came was Fu Han, if it was someone else, he couldn't quietly enter this courtyard, he raised his arm and took Xiao Shaotang's hand off his shoulder: "It is said that the officials who were transferred to the local area this year are wrong, and I want Lord He to go and explain in person!"

"No, it can't be that!"

Xiao Shaotang said categorically, turned around and said goodbye to Mr. Yuan: "Sir, I want to enter the palace immediately, I can't let him hurt Uncle Seven!"

"Your Highness, slow down!"

Although Mr. Yuan was also surprised that this matter was launched so quickly, he was still a little more rational than Xiao Shaotang:

"You are still grounded now, you must not enter the palace so recklessly, too deliberately, it will make people even more suspicious!"

"Then what should I do? That's Uncle Seven, if Uncle Seven has a good one, I won't be at ease in my life!"

There is a matter of the biological mother and the old lady of the He family in front of him, and the palace is in Xiao Shaotang's eyes, which is tantamount to the tiger's den in Longtan, especially the emperor is now suspicious of the relationship between the He family and him, if he does something to the seventh uncle, who can save it?

"The prince is a little restless, before there is definite evidence, the emperor will not rashly attack Master He Qi, it is the He family who wants to settle accounts, but not only Master He Qi alone!

Mr. Yuan also knew that He Yongmao, the seventh master of the He family, was suddenly summoned to the palace by the emperor, which was clearly the sign that the emperor was really suspicious of the He family.

In the imperial study, the emperor sat in front of the dragon case, and he Yongmao, the servant of the ministry, had dried two incense sticks for an hour.

He Yongmao knelt quietly on the ground, his heart was like a drum, but he didn't dare to say a word.

The events of that year were originally related to the lives of the whole clan, and a careless move would be the end of the destruction of the clan, as a child of the He family, he has always been psychologically prepared.

For the sake of morality, even if he dies, he doesn't feel any regrets.

This is the teaching of his father, Mrs. He, he listened to it back then, and has been keeping his promise for so many years, what is there to be afraid of now?

Thinking like this, He Yongmao's heartbeat gradually calmed down.

Xiao Shaoyun was looking intently at the fold in front of him, but he glanced at He Yongmao from time to time.

Seeing that his surprise at the beginning gradually turned into calm, and even the last respectful look of Gujing Wubo, the doubts in his heart deepened.

Could it be that He Yongmao really didn't know about the events of that year? Or did the results of his secret guard's investigation be wrong, and the He family had never been in cahoots with King Qin?

Although he was a little unsure, Xiao Shaoyun finally spoke:

"I heard that the nephew of He Aiqing's clan rushed to the northwest battlefield this year and died on the battlefield, but is there such a thing?"

He Yongmao's heart suddenly fell like a big stone, although he was in great pain, he no longer had that kind of worrying worry.

Sure enough.

He kowtowed respectfully and replied:

"There is indeed this matter, it is Cong Tang, the third son of the minister's eldest brother, who loves to practice martial arts since he was a child, and has the ambition to serve the country, young and enthusiastic, died on the battlefield, sacrificed his life for the country, and the whole family of the minister, the grief is unbearable, but he also feels deeply relieved, he can be loyal to the country and the emperor, although he is still glorious in death!"

"Yes? Adding up in his previous and present lives, Xiao Shaoyun heard a lot of such high-sounding words of loyalty, he didn't take them seriously, but continued to ask:

"I, I heard that the prince of Qin and the nephew of the Aiqing clan look quite similar, I don't know what Aiqing thinks?"

Master He Qi raised his head, his face blank and a little sad.

"The demeanor of the prince of Qin, the minister is fortunate to have witnessed it, but the nephew of the minister's family has not seen him for many years, and he will never see him again...... If there is one of the ten thousand sons of King Qin, it is also a blessing for the little nephew. ”

This answer was perfect, Xiao Shaoyun sneered twice, put aside the topic, asked him about the affairs of the ministry, and let him go down.

He Yongmao, who left the imperial study, began to beat the drum again in his heart, the emperor didn't seem to be pursuing it, but who knows, what the emperor thinks in his heart?

He Yongmao couldn't help but sigh, his sister-in-law has been cautious in her words and deeds all her life, and she has the demeanor of everyone, but the Xue family that her sister married is the root of the disaster!

On that day, Xu Chenglin rushed to the southeast, the emperor personally went out of the city to see him off, and Xue Lanzhi pulled the prince of Qin to call him the seventh cousin, even ordinary people have to think about it a little more, not to mention the emperor who is getting more and more suspicious.

It seems that it is better to inform the family to be prepared first, if there is a ...... and they will not be slaughtered.

As soon as he walked to the palace gate, He Yongmao bumped into Tang Yuan, the squire of the military department in a hurry.

Although one of the two is a military department and a ministry, they both belong to the same level of squire, although they have no personal relationship, but they still want to say hello when they meet.

But this time, before He Yongmao could speak, Tang Yuan greeted him with concern:

"Has Lord He been reprimanded by the emperor?"

How did he know that he was being reprimanded by the emperor? He Yongmao was stunned in his heart, and replied politely:

"No, the emperor just asked casually. ”

"So I'm relieved......" Tang Yuan looked relieved, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and continued:

"Today, I entered the palace and was also entrusted by someone, Master He is safe, and I am completely relieved. There are a few words I want to say to Lord He, I wonder if Lord He can be convenient?"

"It's convenient, it's very convenient, let's talk while walking!"

He Yongmao understood as soon as he heard it, he was afraid that someone from the Qin Wangfu Mansion was coming, so he agreed again and again, and the two walked out together.

It wasn't until he left the palace gate and the carriage started to drive that Tang Yuan lowered his voice and said:

"There's something over there, tell Lord He not to act rashly, be careful that he wants to startle the snake!"

He Yongmao pondered these words, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat - according to his thoughts, he was going to write a letter home first, in fact, if he thought about it carefully, if it was because the emperor asked a few words, he would immediately write a letter home, if it was discovered by the people around the emperor, wouldn't he want to stamp it?

It's just that when did this soup source become a person from King Qin's side again?

Tang Yuan didn't care how he doubted, and repeatedly explained: "Don't show any signs of it, the northwest has its own arrangements!"

He Yongmao parted from Tang Yuan halfway, went home, and called his wife and children as soon as he got home.

"From now on, you will all follow your mother to your ancestral house in Qinghe!"

He Yongmao is the seventh in the family, and at this time, he is only in his thirties, less than forty, and his children are still young.

"Father, seeing that the autumn exam is coming, Mr. wants the child to work hard, why do you go to your grandfather's house at this time?"

"That's it, how can you go on such a hot day? It's a long road, can't you go until the weather is cooler?"

The son and the delicate little daughter expressed their objections, but the seventh lady of the He family saw from the face of her master that it was dignified and imperative.

"Old man......"

She wanted to ask what was going on, but she swallowed back the words that came to her lips.

The seventh lady of the He family can also be regarded as the daughter of the Cui family in Qinghe, although she is a little estranged from the Yan branch, but she can also be regarded as a prominent woman in Qinghe.

"Madam, I have a lot of work for you, our sons and daughters, I will hand it over to you in the future, remember, no matter what happens in Beijing, don't come back, and don't go to Yuzhou!"

Mrs. He's heart sank, knowing that something big was coming.

But she had always been humble and submissive, and she answered in one mouth, and without saying much, she took her children to pack her luggage and prepare to go.

He Yongmao breathed a deep sigh of relief.

Marrying a woman who is well-informed and knowledgeable has such benefits, no matter what you do, she can always deal with things without surprise and do a good job of what you explain without regrets.

Beijing is about to be unstable, and Yuzhou has become a dangerous place, I hope that Mrs. will stay away from the capital with her children, and be blessed by the Cui family in Qinghe for a while to avoid this catastrophe.

Xiao Shaotang heard that He Yongmao was safe and sound, and finally put his mind at ease for the time being.

But he knew that the rest of the story was far from over.

In his heart, he couldn't sit still at home, and finally simply raised his feet and went out, and when the sky was about to dark, he entered the Weibei Hou Mansion.

Today's Huanyi Pavilion is strictly guarded by the guards of the Hou Mansion, and without the special permission of the Hou couple of Weibei, no matter what Xiao Shaotang is, he can only look at the Huanyi Pavilion from a distance and sigh.

Mrs. Weibeihou looked at the clear-eyed young man standing by the lake, standing quietly and staring, and felt a little unbearable in her heart.

In the end, I still sent Mama Gao to invite Bai Chenghuan in person.

"Fourth Miss, although this prince of Qin is a little uninhibited, but in the end he also has some past friendships with the eldest young master, why don't you go out and have a look? I heard that Lord He of the Ministry of Officials was called into the palace by the emperor, saying yes, the prince of Qin is somewhat similar to a deceased young master of the He family, and the emperor has doubts in his heart. ”

Bai Chenghuan was holding a pen in his hand, painting a koi, listening to Mama Gao's words, his hand shook, and the colorful koi instantly became a mixed pile of paint.

These days, Xiao Shaotang has been running to the Weibei Hou Mansion a lot, she naturally knows it, but she has never thought of seeing him.

If she wants to break it off, she will break it cleanly, if she knows that it is impossible to give people hope, it is really not something she can do.

But Xiao Shaoyun became suspicious of the He family, and he moved so fast......

Bai Chenghuan threw away the pen, and his heart was also a mess.

She knew that Xue Lanzhi was stupid, and naturally she also knew that this matter was really exposed, and the consequences would be so serious.

"Well, I'll go out and have a look. ”

He Qi, the sunny young man in Yuzhou, shook in front of him from time to time, and Bai Chenghuan still couldn't be hard-hearted in the end.

She really didn't want to see the sunny teenager become depressed and sad.

When Xiao Shaotang saw Bai Chenghuan walking slowly over from the covered bridge, he blinked his eyes vigorously and blinked, almost thinking that it was his own hallucination.

He thought that she would not come out to see him, after all, the way she raised her hand and threw the flowers that day was so resolute and ruthless.

Xiao Shaotang's restless mood slowly quieted down as the white-clothed figure gradually approached.

"Bai Chenghuan ......"

Before I came, I seemed to have a thousand words, and I wanted to say something to her, but when I really saw someone at this time, Xiao Shaotang felt that he was a little short of words.

He hadn't seen her in days, so where to start?
