Chapter 444: Letters
Since returning to the Hedong fiefdom, the King of Jin has kept Bai Chenghuan's words firmly in his heart, in addition to letting people take care of the Bai family in Yuzhou, he also tried to begin to understand the customs and customs of Hedong, which is his fief and his foundation. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
But what he saw was mostly shocking chaos.
In the severe drought in Hedong, like other prefectures and counties, it is impossible to harvest any grain this year, and the poor people have no grain at all, so they can only wait for the government to provide relief except for selling their children and daughters and fleeing the famine.
However, because when the Hu people first committed the crime before, Hedong also sent troops to the northwest for reinforcements, and most of the grain and grass were also transferred away, and the government's grain storage was not enough to help the victims.
What's even more odious is that in some places, the county government has even exploited the people who went out to flee the famine, and expropriated them violently, and the people have long been complaining, and many people have even gradually evolved into bandits and the like.
Despite this, the people of Daqi still believe in the will of heaven very much, this is a natural disaster, no one can do anything, in a few years they will always have to escape a famine, and no one is used to the poor and miserable people to think about resenting the emperor or something.
But if the imperial brother is unwilling to issue an edict against himself, so that he forces the official to death, and the reputation of the nine clans spreads all over the world, it will inevitably arouse the anger of the people, and at that time, the people will be completely chilled, and the real turmoil will begin!
Sending away Wu Deyong, who couldn't stop crying, King Jin was about to write a letter to the emperor immediately.
In his impression, no matter what the imperial brother was, he was still the prince who was personally taught by his father, and he was a wise and wise emperor of the Great Qi, how could he do such a thing?
Yan Mingshan saw that the emperor seemed to have forgotten him these days, knowing that there was no hope of returning to Beijing, and he was afraid that he would be tied to the king of Jin, so he had to gradually change his attitude and really plan for the king of Jin, and the relationship between the two was also a lot more harmonious.
Seeing that the king of Jin was about to write a letter to question the emperor, he immediately stopped him.
"Lord Wang, it's useless to say these things now, it's better to think of a way, and let the capital allocate food over the most important thing!"
"But ......" King Jin was also worried: "I have asked for this several times, the imperial brother said, there is no silver and no food in the household department!
"Oh my lord......"
Yan Mingshan really wanted to say that the king of Qin was there, that the emperor didn't want to give it, and with the virtue of Zhu Siming, the head of the household department, where would the household department die of poverty all of a sudden? But he couldn't say this, for the sake of the emperor's face, he had to be more tactful:
"This, this silver is always there, but we have a place to go, we can't help it, unless this soul conjuring platform is not repaired, the matter has come to this, the prince doesn't need to say much gossip, just tell the emperor about the tragic situation here, just ask for food and silver! Don't mention the matter of the edict again! Or, the lower official will run in person?"
Yan Mingshan is in Hedong, his heart is in the capital, and he wants to go back very much, anyway, the court did not say that the subordinate officials of the palace could not leave the fiefdom.
He was playing his little abacus, but the king of Jin came to his mind because of these words.
Unless this spiritualist platform is not repaired...... With the imperial brother's favor to Zhan Shichun, unless Sister Cheng Huan returns to the imperial brother, otherwise, how can the spiritualist platform not be repaired? But if Sister Cheng Huan can return to the imperial brother......
King Jin clapped his palms and immediately made up his mind:
"Okay, then bother Yan Changshi to go back to Beijing and send two letters for this king!"
"Two letters?" Yan Mingshan was stunned, who does King Jin want to collude with?
"Yes, one letter to the imperial brother, and another letter to the king to send to the Weibei Houfu, whether you can get money and food, it's up to you!"
The more King Jin thought about it, the more excited he became, with Sister Cheng Huan's kindness and kindness, this was a great time for her to return to the imperial brother, killing two birds with one stone!
In the afternoon of the same day, Yan Mingshan carried two letters that he did not know the content of, and set off on the road without delay.
In fact, he wanted to know what was written in the letter, but the king of Jin also said that the letter was marked, and if he opened it halfway, the emperor would immediately find out and take his life.
He thought about it, but he still put away his curiosity, and couldn't make it.
Yan Mingshan hurried day and night, and encountered several groups of rogues along the way, but fortunately, he was accompanied by the guards of the palace, so he was not robbed.
Rao is like this, when he saw the huge gate of the capital from afar, he still burst into tears because of his embarrassed description.
The world is in chaos like this, and it is not easy to get to the capital alive!
When passing by the towering Soul Calling Platform, Yan Mingshan stood in place and looked up for a while, out of the conscience of a Great Qi official, he smacked fiercely in his heart.
Phew! Zhan Shichun can't die a good death!
When he arrived at the city gate, he took out the token given to him by the emperor, and was sent all the way to the palace.
To be cautious, he only presented the letter to the emperor, and then knelt respectfully and waited for the emperor to speak.
Xiao Shaoyun carefully read King Jin's letter Xianzai, and the shock in his eyes was undoubtedly revealed, but in the end, after several changes, he slowly regained his calm.
"You've worked hard, leave the token I gave you, go home and see your family, and go back to Hedong after seeing it." ”
Xiao Shaoyun was silent for a long time, sent Yan Mingshan away, and asked for the token back.
This person is really unreliable, and after following King Jin for a long time, he became a person of King Jin.
Yan Mingshan almost couldn't hold back a handful of bitter tears, he always thought that if he took the emperor's token, he would be the emperor's person completely, but he didn't expect the emperor to think so, and he had been in Cao Ying's heart in Han for the blind man!
But as a minister, he never dared to say this, he left the palace in silence, returned home, and stayed until the second day, after making sure that the emperor did not send anyone to follow him, he quietly wore inconspicuous clothes and went to Weibei Houfu.
Bai Chenghuan was embroidering a map of Shaanzhou for Xiao Shaotang, and heard that Yan Mingshan was coming.
"But what happened to Hedong?" Bai Chenghuan felt his eyelids jump when he saw Yan Mingshan.
"The famine in Hedong is serious, and His Royal Highness the King of Jin sent me to ask the emperor for money and food. Yan Mingshan knew that Bai Chenghuan was worried about the King of Jin, "But this year's drought is the same, not just Hedong." I came to see Miss Bai, and it was His Royal Highness the King of Jin who asked me to bring you a letter. ”
Bai Chenghuan didn't believe in Yan Mingshan very much, in her impression, this Yan Mingshan was Xiao Shaoyun's person, and he was not loyal to King Jin.
So she flipped through the letter several times to make sure that the secret was correct, and then opened it.
Yan Mingshan didn't leave, waiting for a reply. Bai Chenghuan only read the letter several times, but his face became worse and worse.
She bowed her head and was silent for a while before returning the salute to Yan Mingshan:
"I won't write a reply, go back and tell your Highness that I can't do what he wants me to do, and even if he blames me, I won't obey. ”
Yan Mingshan didn't know what King Jin had written, so Miss Bai looked annoyed. He wanted to say something more, but Bai Chenghuan stopped talking, and Wei Beihou politely invited him to drink tea somewhere else.
Bai Chenghuan held the letter in his hand, and bitterness gradually appeared in his eyes.
King Jin will always be so simple, he is still the simple little ten, but in her heart, she is really sad at the moment.
The person she wants to protect so hard, but she wants to push her to the forefront!
