In that year, natural and man-made disasters continued one after another, first in the north of the county, Jiangyang City and other places were extremely dry, there was no rain for half a year, the crops in the field were not harvested, the corpses were starving, and the people were miserable.

Then there are the continuous floods in Huqi, Jiutuo, Hongzhou and other places in the south of the Yangtze River, countless families have been destroyed, displaced, and countless refugees have been displaced.

In the past few years, the Yan Dynasty has fought many battles, and the southeast sea has been plagued frequently, and it has spent countless money and manpower for several years, but it has never been able to overcome it, and it has been in a stalemate stage. Besides, although the northwest side is actively offensive, in fact, it can no longer afford to drag on inside, and the treasury has been empty for a long time, and it has long been unable to support such a huge war consumption.

Therefore, the whole country, internal and external troubles are continuous, and the imperial court has convened several court meetings one after another, with the intention of retiring the enemy and relieving the people.

It's a pity that the Yan Dynasty has been poor and weak for a long time, coupled with the corruption of the government and the corruption of officials, the Tang Taishi in the court covered the sky with one hand, and when the emperor was a master who only knew how to be greedy for pleasure, he lingered in the harem all day long and didn't care about the political affairs of the previous dynasty, so he didn't come to a conclusion after arguing for several days.

However, the victims of the disaster could no longer wait, and the fact that the victims of the floods in the Jiangnan area were lucky enough to survive the face-to-face homeland beyond recognition, and the fact that their families were ruined and people died was tragic in their hearts. On the one hand, the local official Fu Yin reassured everyone that the imperial court had allocated money and materials to fight the disaster, and on the other hand, he seized this opportunity to seize the time to scavenge oil and water to fill his own pockets.

After peeling down the layers of inventory, the already small amount of disaster relief money and food is no longer available to the localities, let alone the per capita distribution to the people.

Rather, more people died of famine and tuberculosis for months than at the time of the flood, and the more the people waited, the colder they became, and the hopelessness of life provoked a revolt from some of them, and finally on a rainy night.

A ruined temple, a few spears, and more than 100 people set off the first civil uprising in the history of the Yan Dynasty, known as the Baipao Uprising.

As soon as the slogan came out, it won a positive response from all over the country, but in a short period of time, there were already tens of thousands of people, and all of a sudden, internal and external troubles broke out in an all-round way, the world was in turmoil, and the people were living in poverty.

Because the uprising is close to Huadu, but more than 800 miles, the imperial court was shocked and immediately sent troops to suppress it, but the surrounding troops can be mobilized in a short period of time is really not much, although it has been slightly called the climate, but the rulers mistakenly underestimated the strength of the rebel army, thinking that it was just a group of rabble, not to be afraid, so they thought that the local defenders were more than enough to resist the enemy, so although they were shocked but not panicked, they just ordered all departments to actively resist.

But who would have expected that the rebel army here would march all the way, and the three cities had already been conquered one after another, which attracted the attention of the above, but it was already too late.

The emperor has not been to the court for two consecutive months, and on this day he was also strongly 'invited' back to the main hall by the ministers, and the final result of the discussion was that the garrison was immediately sent from Huadu to suppress the rebels, and even the capital Praetorian Guard was withdrawn by one-third, which shows that the strength of the Yan Dynasty has been extremely empty.

On this day, Lu Yi was sad after going to court, the emperor was too mediocre, and in today's 100,000 urgent situation, he also looked careless and impatient, which really made people feel disheartened. Even though he himself is not a loyal and good general, and he is not determined to protect his family and country, and revive Chaogang, he is also extremely disappointed.

Recently, I have been doing family and state affairs, and everything is not going well. Wars broke out, the situation was turbulent, he was naturally a civil servant could not help much, on weekdays dancing and writing ink, poetry and painting, it was fine, but if you want to say that the military and political are important, it is absolutely impossible to lead the troops to fight.

He doesn't care who is the emperor, it doesn't matter if the dynasty changes, as long as it doesn't affect his comfortable and wealthy life now, he has worked hard in the officialdom all his life, playing with the hearts of the people, and he knows a lot about the flies and dogs in the officialdom, but if it is honest, except for those names that seem to be true and false in the early years, in fact, he himself does not have any real talent to learn to embroider pillows.

Mrs. Lu has also been upset recently, but it is not for the sake of government affairs, she is a woman's family, no matter how far-sighted and sagacious she is, she can't jump out of the one-third of an acre of land in this inner house. The reason is that her baby daughter Lu Qingyu, last month Lu Qingyu's husband, Tang Huaisu, the son of Tang Taishi, accompanied the prince to hunt in the western suburbs, who expected that the horse did not know what to be frightened, and he ran crazy at that time, Tang Huaisu was a literati, and he was not proficient in riding and archery.

Tang Taishi called for wind and rain in the court, this Tang Huaisu is his only son, naturally he is very precious, and immediately called the Taiyi for diagnosis and treatment, but until the people in the Tai Hospital have passed through the sieve, Tang Huaisu's condition still did not improve or even worsened.

That night, people were not good, Liu Zhong, the head of the Tai Hospital, was very high-minded, and he was not used to the arrogance of Tang Taishi, but his life was also here, and he just glanced at it and asserted: "Ling Gongzi's injury is too serious, lest he die, Taishi should be psychologically prepared." ”

This is really not polite at all, and he was immediately so angry that Tang Taishi fell backwards, but I am afraid that this Huadu will not be able to find someone with better medical skills than Liu Zhongmou, so although he hated it in his heart, he was still sincere on his face, and begged Liu Zhongmou to come to his rescue.

Liu Zhongmou's temper has always been cold-spoken, Tang Huaisu's injury is too serious, and he is not a god who can bring the dead back to life.

Sure enough, Tang Huaisu died before dawn, and now he was fine, and for a while, the Tang family, the most powerful in Huadu, lost his beloved son, and Lu Qingyu also became disappointed.

It's really pitiful, how long has it been since we were married? Lu Qingyu immediately cried and fainted when she heard the news, how long did she have to do this thing after this peaceful life, she became a widow at such a young age, how can she live in the future?

In an instant, the distance between heaven and hell is nothing more than that, she has been proud of her life, she has been a pampered and wealthy lady since she was a child, and when she grew up, she married one of the most powerful families at that time.

Now that Tang Huaisu is dead, what hope does she have, in this world, a woman has to look up to a man and live all her life, this is really her life.

As the saying goes, obey the father at home, marry the husband, and die from the son.

She didn't even be able to give birth to a son and a half daughter to the Tang family, and now that Tang Huai is gone, how can she still gain a foothold in the Tang family?

For this matter, Lu Yi and Mrs. Lu have been worried recently, Lu Qingyu is Mrs. Lu's heart, according to the laws of the Yan Dynasty, if the married daughter has no children after the death of her husband, the consent of the in-laws can be taken back by the mother's family and will not affect the remarriage.

Mrs. Lu couldn't bear to let her daughter be widowed at a young age, but Lu Yi saw that her daughter was delicate and moving, and if she withered silently in the deep boudoir, she really felt a pity, and she also thought about taking it back, if the time was ripe in the future, she would choose a decent marriage for her.

In any case, the two have the same idea.

But the crux of the matter is how to say this, Tang Taishi has just lost his beloved son, if he mentions this matter now, it will be too unkind, it seems to be a bit of a fall into the ground, just when Lu Yi was in a dilemma, Tang Taishi took the initiative to come to the door after handling his son's funeral, which made Lu Yi frightened.

Tang Taishi is scheming, cunning and cunning, but he only loves his only son very much, and now that his beloved son is gone, he also has his own plans for his daughter-in-law.

Although Lu Yi is a wall-to-wall grass, after all, he is in a high position, belongs to the close ministers of the Son of Heaven, and the cabinet George, and the marriage at the beginning did have the meaning of being a good person. But now that his son is gone, Lu Yi is a master who is no more shrewd and hypocritical, and being a personal favor can be regarded as a complete love for the original in-laws. After all, his son is gone, what do you want Lu Qingyu to do, and it will be convenient to be a favor for Lu Yi in the future.

Lu Yi couldn't help but be a little overjoyed when he heard Taishi Tang's words, but he didn't expect that he was hesitating here and didn't know how to say it, he actually took the initiative to mention it, so he hurriedly said: "At this time, it depends on how Taishi decides, and the lower officials have no objections." ”

Master Tang stroked his beard and said: "This official has a bad life, he has lost his only son when he is old, although he is sad in his heart, he doesn't want to delay Qingyu's youth." It's just that my son just left, and when he was still alive, he was in harmony with Qingyu and his wife, and his relationship was very strong, and he was reluctant to come. If he let Qingyu go back to his house now, he would be reluctant to come underground, so I want to stay with Qingyu for a few more years. ”

Tang Taishi's words were euphemistic, Lu Yi was so shrewd and naturally heard what he meant: let Lu Qingyu keep his husband and filial piety for Tang Huaisu for three years.

After three years, it will be picked up by the Lu Mansion, and if it is married, it will not matter anymore.

Lu Yi thought about it carefully and agreed, firstly, it is not easy for Tang Taishi to be ruthless and condescend to make this regression, if the Tang family does not agree with Lu Qingyu to return to the Lu Mansion, then he will not be able to, it is better to push the boat like this, everyone looks good on face. After two or three years, Lu Qingyu is still only two decades, and it is not too late to be in Hua, and besides, the reputation of Shoumanfu is good.

Under the trade-off, this is already the best result, Lu Yi is satisfied, although Mrs. Lu is a little reluctant, she can only acquiesce, which will make Lu Qingyu suffer.

Strict filial piety is very strict, must be white-clothed, not meaty, everything is simple, every day needs to burn incense and pray, although it is at home, it is no different from a nunnery.

Lu Qingyu has been pampered all his life, where has he ever cried like this, and he can't stand it for a few days to complain to his mother, but Mrs. Lu can't, the water spilled by her married daughter, where does she have a position and room to speak, she can only carefully comfort her daughter to be patient.

Seeing that there was no way to ask for help, Lu Qingyu also resigned himself to his fate, but in the dead of night, it was inevitably a little uncomfortable to think about it, but he didn't expect that the life that Lu Qingjia had lived would now be repeated on him. Although the family is magnificent, it still can't suppress the desolation in his heart.

She didn't have any feelings for Tang Huaisu in the first place, and what she valued at the beginning was just the other party's family background, so Tang Huaisu died unexpectedly, she was really sad, but it was only for her own ups and downs and worries in the future.

Sometimes it is inevitable to think, if she insisted on marrying Chen Wei at the beginning, then what would happen now?

The last time I saw Lu Qingjia, she was beautiful and graceful, she looked like a little woman immersed in love, and there was a dazzling brilliance all over her body, which showed that her married life should not be bad.

Although Chen Wei's family is in the middle of the road, but his character is valuable, his appearance is unparalleled, and he is talented, even if he is temporarily embarrassed, he will eventually come out, if he is not the ghost at the beginning, he will definitely not be the current situation.

Lu Qingyu felt very uncomfortable when he thought of this, and when he came back to his senses, he found that he had written a full article, and there were only two words repeated on it - Yun Zhao.

The heart is chaotic.

************

Qing Jia doesn't know Lu Qingyu's complicated thoughts about herself now, the world is very chaotic now, she just guards her quiet life. Since she knew that there was an uprising in Dubao County, she didn't even go out, there were vegetables she grew in the field, some chickens and ducks, millet and flour she had prepared early, if she saved some food, she could last for several months, she carefully calculated every expense of her family, every possible accident, and minimized the worst situation as much as possible.

But even with such caution, this quiet pastoral life was finally broken.

The reason is that that time, Zhao Baosheng, a small merchant in the north of the village, suddenly fell ill, with a high fever that did not go away, and many red spots appeared on his body, and the serious places had ulcerated, and he had fallen into a deep coma by the time Qingjia rushed over.

As soon as Qingjia heard such a situation and thought of Zhao Baosheng walking around, he immediately covered his mouth and nose with a medicine bag, and wrapped it tightly all over his body, so he stepped forward to take a look, and was shocked at the moment:

Pestilence!!!
