Chapter 410: Situation

The night breeze blew through every inch of space in Huanyi Pavilion, and Bai Chenghuan was still sitting in front of the window, completely sleepy. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Shao Hui was very considerate and didn't come forward to disturb, but just turned off two more lights in the room, and quietly withdrew with Ah Hua.

Li said the reason why he couldn't come to Beijing, and now there is chaos of displaced people in Yuzhou. In addition, she repeatedly told Bai Chenghuan that she was indeed the biological daughter of the Bai family, and she was never raised, and Wen Po and others back then can testify!

This last one really made Bai Chenghuan feel a little more at ease.

Her current identity is complicated enough, even if the situation changes in the future, she must have something to do with Zhan Shichun, it is best to know it in her heart.

And the first two things......

Although the Lu family, who made trouble at the door of Bai's house, was sent back, from time to time, Mrs. Bai still did not give up, and repeatedly wanted people to pick her back to add a block to her disobedient third daughter-in-law, but fortunately, Mrs. Bai was not willing to take over the trouble, and she was stopped when she returned. It's still so stiff for the time being.

The displaced people in Yuzhou have gradually risen, and the Li family is now closed day and night, lest the Bai family be smashed and robbed, fortunately, it has not reached that point for a while, but it will not be known for sure in the future.

It must be false to say that Bai Chenghuan is not worried, there is trouble coming to the door from time to time in peacetime, and now the chaos is about to start, and his brother Bai Xianghuan is a weak scholar, and he doesn't know if he can keep the door.

Bai Chenghuan stood up and sighed softly in the moonlight.

I am afraid that coming to the capital will be stirred into the whirlpool, and staying in Yuzhou is not a foolproof strategy. Although she is not the daughter of the Bai family inside, she already regards herself as a member of the Bai family, and the safety of the Bai family's mother and brother is beyond her reach, but it is difficult to abandon it no matter what.

After thinking about it, she still called Shaohui in, lit the lamp, wrote two letters, and ordered her to send them out overnight.

Shao Hui took the letter and couldn't help but wonder.

The letter to the wife should be shared, but is it really proper to send a letter to the king of Jin in the present situation of the eldest lady to He......dong?

Bai Chenghuan saw Shao Hui hesitate, but he was very pleased:

"Don't worry, just hand over these two letters to Hou Ye, and Hou Ye will find a way to deliver them. Although the King of Jin is a simple person, in the end, Hedong and Yuzhou are only separated by a river, and it would be good if he could take care of his wife. ”

Although the power of Weibei Houfu is not as strong as that of the royal family, it is still possible to send a letter out quietly, but it is only on the side of King Jin...... That long history Yan Mingshan is going to be replaced after all.

Shao Hui only then understood what Miss meant, seeing that Miss was still thinking about her wife like this, she was also very happy in her heart, she lowered her eyebrows and answered, took the letter out, and Bai Chenghuan cleaned her hands and rested.

And Li, just a few days after sending the letter to his daughter, he received a letter from Bai Bingxiong on the back foot.

Bai Bingxiong repeatedly asked her what happened at home, and then informed her of the news that the King of Qin had come to propose marriage, and asked her what she thought.

Li felt helpless for a while.

It's rare that this lump of wood can actually see from the family letter that there is something going on at home, but helplessly, although she is angry about this matter, she can't settle accounts with Bai Bingxiong at this time.

As for this prince of Qin...... Li frowned, he had never heard his daughter mention it.

She called Bai Xianghuan:

"Have you ever heard of this prince of Qin?"

Bai Xianghuan still often goes to the county school, and in the county school, it is inevitable to discuss some current affairs, and he has also heard of this prince of Qin.

"The son heard that this prince of Qin, who was born from the concubine of the king of Qin, has been following the king of Qin at the border of Ningzhou, and now he has entered Beijing, named the son of the prince, and is actually a proton. ”

Li Shi understood, that is, this prince of Qin was actually a hostage pinched by the emperor, and he was very unpopular with the emperor.

Also, the King of Qin can fight well and has a great reputation, even people like her who grew up in Jiangzhou have heard of his prestige in his early years, but any emperor who is a little suspicious will not be at ease, and it is normal to pinch his son in the palm of his hand.

From Li's point of view, no matter what his son said is true or false, and no matter how powerful King Qin is in the future, this son of King Qin is definitely not a good match for his daughter.

She has a deep fear of the capital city and the royal family in the capital that she has in her impression, and she never wants her daughter to get involved in these royal struggles.

But Li thought about it, but he didn't dare to make a decision.

Since her Huan Niang got better, she has really changed from a crazy fool to a smart and assertive, if she really has something to do with the prince of Qin in the capital, on her own side, I am afraid that she can't just refuse it so simply......

When Li thought about it like this, a huge panic gradually surged in her heart, thinking of the clan sister who had never returned since she entered Beijing in the early years, and her heart was cold.

There is nothing more fearful of her than this!

Let's ask my daughter what she means first!

Li quietly wiped his tears and prepared to write another letter to Bai Chenghuan.

only hung Bai Xianghuan in place, watched his mother's expression change several times, and even shed a few tears, and immediately felt strongly uneasy in his heart: "Mother, but...... But what's wrong with my father......"

Otherwise, how could my mother read my father's letters, and this is how they describe it!

He reached out to get the letter, but Lee stopped him.

"It's nothing, just talk about your sister's family affairs, you don't bother to bother about these things, you can tell me that you went to Zhuangzi today to see it, what happened?"

Bai Xianghuan's heart let go a little, and he stood back and replied:

"Our Zhuangzi is fine, there are many wells, and we can still keep three or four points of harvest, but my son comes back all the way, and other Zhuangzi ...... Mother, Steward Chen said, our family is afraid that we will have to make plans early. ”

Li nodded, and was a little relieved that her son could help her with some housework now, but this relief was quickly diluted by the worry in her heart.

Due to the drought, many farmers' crops have completely died, and they are about to lose their crops. And the government's excesses and miscellaneous taxes, with their years of experience, will not be a little less. Therefore, many people who have no hope of harvesting their crops have begun to pack up their belongings and prepare to flee the famine.

Now he has not started to flee the famine on a large scale, but it is only because Song Wende, the commander of Hongnong County, is afraid that the escape of the displaced people will be investigated by the higher-level state government will affect his official reputation and political performance, so he ordered people to strictly intercept it, so there is no scene of ten rooms and nine emptiness.

But all parts of Daqi are almost the same, although the Li family does not understand the twists and turns of officialdom, but when he was in Jiangzhou's mother's house, he also saw the miserable scene of the swarms of displaced people after the locust plague, which is not something that the government can stop at all.

"Our family's food and clothing will be halved from today, the next person in the family, I will ask them, if they are willing to stay, they will stay, if there are those who are unwilling to endure hardship, they will also go with them, the manpower on the Zhuangzi is also arranged, and must not be negligent!"

Bai Xianghuan nodded, there are fewer and fewer people going to the county school in the past few days, and he also remembers that there was a year of insect plague when he was young, and many large households were robbed during the famine.

In the county government, the master beside Song Wende was trying to persuade him.

"Master, now that the situation has become like this, it is not a way for us to stop it like this, and when the time really starts to starve to death, we will not be able to take out food for disaster relief, isn't it even more negligent, and the people's anger is even heavier? It is better to be like Shanxi County, let them go to find a way to survive, and when there is life in the future, these people will still return to their homeland!"

This master is over half a hundred years old, and he has experienced several such famines, so he has some experience.

The county magistrate now doesn't know the severity of the situation, but when the famine really arises, he will know that these hungry and crazy homeless people are really hot potatoes, and no one wants to take them! At that time, other states and counties will not be allowed to enter, will it be possible that they will all starve to death in Hongnong County?

Song Wende's face was pale, he couldn't listen to half of what he said, and refuted it fiercely:

"Confused! If there is a famine, will the imperial court sit idly by? Won't our county government be able to take out even a little grain for disaster relief? Besides, the county government doesn't have enough grain, so what about those big families and big families? Didn't the He family give relief to the poor in the past? Now is the time for them to contribute! How can we allow the displaced people to run around in a mess and become what kind of system!"

The master covered his forehead and had a headache, how could he be such a master! It was a good year when the wind and rain were good, but when he encountered a famine, he was completely out of the way of becoming an official!

What about Song Xiang's brother, if Song Xiang is also as ignorant of the world as this, then this court will be finished sooner or later!

After all, the master has been with Song Wende for many years, and decided to persuade him again:

"Master, what you said is certainly right, but if you think about it carefully, how much grain can our county government have? This disaster and famine together is not a day or two, but it cannot be stopped for a year and a half! Although those big clans have surplus grain, but this year's weather, a drop of rain does not fall for several months, and they are too busy to take care of themselves, how can they be like in previous years? Besides, the He family, you also know, now the emperor is dissatisfied with the He family because of the rumors of the prince of Qin, will the He family come out of this? It's hard to say! As for the imperial court, the lord forgives his subordinates for saying a disrespectful word, the military salary in the northwest is still raised by the military department itself, and the Ministry of Rites, so far the chief examiner of the autumn examination has not been decided, whether this year's autumn examination will be suspended, it is still uncertain, there are many places in Daqi this year's drought, but not only in Yuzhou, when the time comes, the imperial court is afraid that it will be powerless!"

In other words, the imperial court can't count on it!

He has lived for this age, and he has never seen a time when the imperial court can count on it! Even if the imperial court has food, it will be exploited layer by layer, and in the hands of the victims, it will not matter at all!

Song Wende, as the younger brother of Prime Minister Song Wenru, did not take advantage of other advantages, and this news is still very well-informed.

What the master said is true.

But if he wants to let the displaced people under his rule rise up like this, where will his face go? !

"This matter, Master Rong, I will think about it again, this matter is big, I have to think about it!"

Song Wende didn't let go until the end.

Master sighed secretly, it's a big matter, think about it, wait until you think about it, this is lost, but it's all human life, human life!

Zhan Shichun sat on the high platform of Qin Tianjian and kept divining under the puzzled eyes of the disciples.

Qin Tianjian's little eunuch Tang Zhonghe looked at the sky, the moon is close to the Mid-Autumn Festival, more and more changes to perfection, the stars in the sky gradually become scarce, such a night, is it suitable for divination?

Besides, Master said that divination is a matter of revealing heavenly secrets, and if you can take it less, you can take it less, otherwise the outcome will be worrying. Isn't Master's non-stop divination for a day a drain on his own essence and blood cultivation?

Zhan Shichun ignored the apprentice's worries.

In his life, there is no end to it, so it doesn't matter.

Since he became the supervisor of Qintian, he has only occupied the national fortune once, and the blood is full of luck.

Indeed, although his hands have not been stained with blood himself, there are countless souls under the conjuring stage, which can be regarded as a composite number.

Today's divination is for his daughters. This is the auspicious day he has been waiting for for so long, and divination is the most spiritual.

Occupy the future, occupy the marriage, and occupy the number of lives.

But no matter how many times he took it, how many yarrows for divination were broken, and what appeared in front of him was still empty.

There is no past, no future, only the present that his eyes can see.

In other words, in this world, there is no life for his daughter at all!

In this world, only the dead will have no life!

But his daughter's life star is still bright, how can she be a dead person?!

James Shichun's heart, which has always been as hard as a rock, really panicked, could it be that he did too many evils and the retribution came to his daughter?!

No, never! What he did, everything he should do, everything the Xiao family owed him!

Zhan Shichun propped himself up with frantic eyes, continued to sit upright on the high platform, biting his fingertips again and again and dripping onto the yarrow, even though his whole body had begun to tremble, he kept continuing!

Until late at night, James Shichun finally couldn't hold it anymore, spit out a mouthful of blood, and fell off the high platform!

A group of apprentices hurriedly rushed forward and found that their master's breath was already faint and dying.

"Master!"

Soon someone reported to the palace, which alarmed the emperor, and the hospital was busy overnight.

Xiao Shaotang was originally groggy during the day, insomnia and dreams at night, and couldn't sleep steadily, at this time James Shichun had an accident, and he was even more anxious!

James Shichun must not die at this time!

Even though he has always had a bit of murderous intent towards Zhan Shichun, he must not die at this time!

If he dies, who else can recover Cheng Huan's soul for him?!

Xiao Shaoyun gave a death order, and strictly ordered everyone in the Tai Hospital to save Zhan Shichun!

The news was also delivered to homes in the capital.

Most of the courtiers were secretly happy when they heard the news, if Zhan Shichun's demon Dao died, it would really be providence!

Prime Minister Song Wenru was no exception when he heard this, but he had more worries than others, and immediately got up and entered the palace in the middle of the night, regardless of the middle of the night.

He has to stay by the emperor's side, if that Zhan Shichun is really dead, the emperor will definitely be furious, and he can also respond to the emergency if he stays aside.

Everyone outside the palace was shocked, let alone inside the palace.

Concubine Shu also got up and led An Zhulin and Xu Chengyi, who had to follow, to Zhaoyang Hall together.

"Why is the concubine here?" The emperor was anxious, and when he saw the concubine coming, he just asked casually.

Concubine Shu was anxious in her heart, but she turned around and pointed to the two behind her and smiled:

"It's because they heard about Lord Zhan, and they were afraid that the emperor would be worried, so they had to follow the palace to take a look. ”
