Chapter 7 It's not that enemies don't get together
"Now, does Your Highness want to see me?" Autumn leaves raised their eyebrows slightly, and then looked at the sun in the west.
Zhou Yu looked at her and was a little puzzled: "What?" ”
She said lightly: "I have already told Your Highness today that I will stay overnight in the celebrant and discuss the matter of the expedition with you. ”
Zhou Yu pondered for a moment: "If it weren't for the urgency, His Highness wouldn't be in such a hurry to summon the Duke." ”
Autumn leaves bowed slightly, and bent the corners of her lips: "It's an abnormality, it's a demon, I don't know why, I always feel a little bad premonition." ”
On the one hand, the rat who had become the general manager of the listening wind department said with a smile: "Hehe, I can't say that His Royal Highness is reluctant to go to the Lord, after all, this is not a matter of returning to the court in a month or two, newlywed couple, the Lord You have worked hard to make His Highness so worried!" ”
Everyone looked at each other, and then laughed in unison.
Who doesn't know that His Royal Highness the Regent has three thousand male pets, and he has passed a thousand sails, but this time he seems to have changed his temperament, and he rarely goes out to plunder male pets at will on weekdays, even those beautiful men in the eighteen divisions of the Crane Prison, that is, Lord Yibai and Lord Shuangbai, can still share some pets from their own governors.
The whole court sighed that the four young men of the Qiu family were not only good at their brains, but also good at their work, so that His Royal Highness the regent could accept the mind of the game 'grass'.
As soon as Autumn Leaves Bai saw them, he knew what was going on in their minds, and couldn't help but shake his head and scold with a smile: "You monkey cubs, it's not a good thing!" ”
Then she turned around and put on the cloak that Ning Chun had already prepared for her, and then put on the three-mountain embroidered gold-patterned black hat, and walked towards the outside of the Shenwu Hall, where her mount had already stopped outside the door.
The rat looked at Qiu Yebai's slender figure in the distance, grabbed Zhou Yu's shoulder, and said: "Our lord is a talent, who doesn't love young heroes, Your Highness is really blessed." ”
Someone on the side grinned and responded: "Although His Royal Highness the Regent is more special, there are not many women in the world who are more beautiful than her, she is noble and powerful, and naturally she is not as beautiful as ordinary ladies, and our master is not at a loss." ”
The rat thought for a while: "Yes, in the final analysis, it is still our master's ability, we must have the good face of the master, and then learn the ability to condition women, and it is good to ......." ”
"It's better to go and fix Widow Mei, at least you don't have to be kicked out to sleep on the street, right?" Da Zhuang on one side complained without giving face to the rat.
When everyone heard this, they burst into laughter.
The rat's thin face suddenly turned a little red, and he glanced at Da Zhuang angrily, and then looked at Zhou Yu, who had been silent, and he squinted at Zhou Yu: "Our Admiral Zhou is also born with a talent, why is there no love for it now, is it possible that Admiral Zhou is still worried about those people who can't have babies?" ”
Although the rat said it vaguely, the backbones who came out of the wind department here, who didn't know the romantic past of Zhou Yu's men and women, suddenly laughed.
Zhou Yu glanced at the rat lightly: "Mr. Qin Qian, you are too idle to panic, why don't you read all these things on the table." ”
With that, he brushed his sleeves away.
Everyone looked at the back of him leaving, and they all looked at each other, I don't know what Zhou Yu said was annoyed.
Although Zhou Yu is annoyed now, he no longer fights with everyone like in the past, but ......
"This kid, it's really crazy to have a cold face now, but it's a bit like the Admiral, which makes people feel that their hearts are hairy, and they are still better than before." The rat couldn't help but mutter, and the others agreed.
Zhou Yu is now more and more calm, acting more and more like a superior person, and the former gentleman seems to have never existed.
It's just that......
When the rat said the word Dugong, he suddenly 'chuckled' in his heart, looked at Zhou Yu's back in disbelief, and then looked at the direction in which Autumn Leaf White disappeared, and a thoughtful look appeared on his face.
Hopefully, it's not what he thinks.
……*……*……*……*……*……*……
Let's talk about this, Qiu Yebiao just entered the palace gate, and saw Lao Zhen leading the little eunuchs to stand on the edge of the Xuanwu Gate waiting for her, and said that he wanted to take her to see Bailichu.
Qiu Yebai raised his eyebrows: "Old Zhen, you said that His Highness summoned me in the Taiji Palace?" ”
She was wondering why Lao Zhen had come all the way to wait for her, and it turned out that he had come to inform her of the news.
Lao Zhen smiled and nodded: "Yes, to be precise, His Highness is waiting to summon you in the upper study of the Taiji Palace." ”
She dismounted, handed the reins to the little eunuch on the side, and became more and more strange in her heart: "It's so formal, but what happened in the palace or in the court?" ”
Lao Zhen still smiled: "You'll know when you go." ”
With that, he shook off the dust and led the way.
Qiu Yebai saw that Lao Zhen didn't say anything, so he didn't ask any more, anyway, he would always know.
It's just that......
Her not-so-good feeling became clearer.
And a woman's intuition is often very accurate.
Akiba Shiro quickly confirmed his thoughts.
As soon as she entered the study, she saluted to Baili Chu without squinting according to the rules.
"Wechen see His Highness."
At this time, she is a minister, and he is a king.
Bai Lichu nodded and smiled lazily: "This palace knows that Duke Qiu is very busy, but this matter has an important relationship with the southward rebellion, so I also summoned you to come in and meet the 'grain officer' of our southern expedition against the rebel army." ”
"Grain officer?" When Qiu Yebai heard this, he immediately raised his head in some surprise: "Has the matter of transporting grain been resolved?" ”
The geographical location of the southern Xinjiang province is relatively special, surrounded by mountains on several sides, or hilly areas, so once the front advances to the southern Xinjiang province, grain and grass will become a big problem.
In particular, the more you go to the southern part of Xinjiang, the more mountains there are, the more difficult it is to walk, and the grain and grass carts are even more difficult to enter, if you have to rely on manpower, once the grain transportation line is extended, it is easy to be cut off by the rebels.
However, there must be chaos in the southern Xinjiang province now, most of them are ethnic minority people, their people are fierce, it would be good if they did not grab grain, and it must be extremely difficult for the rebel army to collect grain on the spot, and perhaps not only will they not be able to collect grain, but they will also provoke more murderous opportunities.
For example, putting some strange medicine in the grain is easy for the Miao people.
What's more, now is the time when the green and yellow are not harvested, and the rebels in the southern Xinjiang provinces themselves are short of food, let alone their rebel army?
Therefore, no one wants to be this grain transportation officer.
Even when Baili Lingfeng, who had maintained a very low-key style recently, was discussing this matter in the upper direction, he was so angry that he almost walked away.
Nowadays, all the plans put forward by various parties are not satisfactory, especially some people, who simply do not want to start a war at this time, but wait until the autumn harvest season to fight again.
The person who said this was beaten by General Li Mu Li on the side of Baili Lingfeng when he left the palace gate.
If there is a grain harvest on their side, then the rebels will naturally have food on their side, and after a few months of recuperation, and even if they have a firm foothold, will it be as if they will have to pay a higher price to regain the lost territory?
And at this time, Baili first told her that there was someone in the grain officer, who?
When Qiu Yebai raised her eyes, she noticed that Baili Lingfeng and several backbone ministers of the faction were also in the study, and she was suspicious in her heart, but she saw a person walking in outside the door.
As he walked, the man wiped his still damp hands with a silk handkerchief, and he had just come out of the clean room.
A lotus-colored robe was draped over his slender body, and there was a translucent moon-colored robe on the outside, and as he stepped in, the moon-colored robe swayed gently, as if the person's body was covered with a layer of shallow silver light.
It complements his shallow eyebrows and a pair of eyes that seem to always remind people of the verdant smoke and rain in the south of the Yangtze River.
"It's you?!" Akiba's eyes widened slightly, and he looked at the visitor in a little stunned.
The man looked at her and smiled slightly: "I haven't seen Admiral Qiu for some days, no, Governor Qiu, the grass people have been thinking about it behind closed doors at home these days, and recuperating from their injuries, and it is too late to congratulate Admiral Qiu on your rise step by step, and then ascend to a high position." ”
Qiu Yebai's expression had already regained his calmness, and he looked at him and said lightly: "Don't dare to bother with the eldest young master Mei Sumei." ”
Then, she looked at Baili Chu, and a strange look flashed in her eyes: "Your Highness, the grain official you are talking about will not be ......." ”
"That's right, it's Mei Su, the eldest young master of the Mei family." Bai Li Chu looked at her and smiled.
The corner of Qiu Yebai's eyes swept over Baili Lingfeng and the minister of his line who were sitting on the side, but even the short-tempered Li Mu was silent, and although his expression was a little uncertain, he did not raise any objections.
She glanced thoughtfully at Mei Su, and when Mei Su saw her coming, she did not look like she had seen her in the past, but stood indifferently without squinting.
She frowned slightly, if something was abnormal, she was a demon, so she looked at Baili Chu again: "Your Highness, all the previous grain officials are internal officials, why did you change Young Master Mei this time?" ”
Baili Chu gestured to Lao Zhen, and then Lao Zhen presented a map to Qiu Yebai.
Qiu Yebai looked down and saw that it was an extremely detailed map of the southern Xinjiang province, especially the roads and passes in and out of various waterways were clearly marked.
There are also places on it that are framed with red triangles, and some triangles are circled in the middle.
Her heart moved: "This is ......." ”
"This is the Mei family's business name in Southern Xinjiang Province." Mesu's warm voice rang out behind her.
"The place where the circle is dotted is the grain depot of the Mei family."
It turns out that the Mei family's business names are also all over the southern Xinjiang province, although the Miao people, Zhuang people and other ethnic minorities and the Han people have sharp confrontation and constant conflicts over the years, but these ethnic minorities have maintained relative restraint in the shops opened by these Han people.
Because they really lack a lot of things that they can't do on their own, they need to import from the Central Plains, especially and they also need money and food, and always robbing can't satisfy everyone.
Among them, the chief manager of the Mei family in Southern Xinjiang Province and his merchants and shops approached the Miao people in various ways, and maintained a fairly good relationship with the Miao people, especially the protection of the Miao Tusi.
The Mei family also made a lot of grain depots in southern Xinjiang in view of the characteristics of southern Xinjiang provinces, waiting to hoard Juqi and sell them at a good price.
"But what if these depots have been looted?" Autumn leaves and white eyebrows said, since the war has started, it is impossible for the Miao people to continue to exercise restraint against the merchants of the Central Plains during this time.
Mei Su said indifferently: "All the grain depots are in the underground granaries, not the chief manager of the Southern Xinjiang Province, or not the head of the family, no one can open it, and I don't know where to enter the grain depot." ”
Akiba Bai was stunned for a moment, and finally understood Baili Chu's intentions.
This is......
Her gaze swept from Baili Chu to Baili Lingfeng and Mei Su in turn, and finally sighed secretly.
It's not that the enemies don't get together, this time the four of them have their own ghosts, and they can make a game of mahjong.
