Rukawa Kaede, who was sitting in a gazebo and waiting for someone, casually admired the scenery of the harem and the beautiful palace maids who came and went.

But at this time, he saw two cousins who he hadn't seen for a long time, they were graceful and luxurious, talking and laughing all the way, followed by some palace maids and eunuchs, and they really wanted to come in this direction.

"Yo, isn't this Brother Feng? How did you know we were coming, and you were waiting for us here? Liuchuan Yu said that he was the son who followed his father to settle in Jiangnan and borrowed 20,000 taels of silver from the imperial court some time ago for disaster relief.

"Haha, although I haven't seen Brother A Feng for many years, but your name has always made me thunderous, and when I look at it today, I really look like a talent, majestic, and quite like an ocean uncle." Rukawa Yan came over and was a sycophant, which made Rukawa Kaede quite happy.

"Two elder brothers, you can wait for your little brother so hard, the queen mother's birthday is approaching, and she has been talking about your grandchildren who are far away." Rukawa Kaede stood up and greeted them with a smile.

"Haha, it's still good in Chang'an, prosperous, and can often come to accompany the Queen Mother and her old man, unlike those of us who are far away, it's really hard to explain."

Rukawa Yu said with a smile, and there seemed to be some envy for Kyoto in his words, but whether it was true or not, Rukawa Kaede didn't know.

"I heard that Jiangnan is almost stable now, Brother Yu also arrogantly used all his net worth on the victims, he really cares about the people, and the foolish brother admires it."

Waving his hand indifferently, Liuchuan Yu looked solemn, sighed, and replied: "Those are what we should do as the descendants of the Liuchuan family, but it is still too far to talk about stability." ”

"How?"

"Although the flood has been eliminated now, and the follow-up problems of the victims have almost been stabilized under the careful arrangement of the Taishi, there are new problems, and they are still big problems that are difficult to solve, that is, the rebels!"

"Aren't they being suppressed?"

Rukawa Kaede asked, a few days ago, he and Yan Ku only exchanged letters, but the other party didn't talk much about it, and it was very brief, saying that there was no big problem.

"In the past, those who were suppressed were all small forces that did not become a climate, but now there are three or four big forces that have become a climate, and some are even beginning to prepare to become kings! They all have a scale of tens of thousands or even tens of thousands, and occupy some small towns, big mountains, from time to time will sneak attack the county town guarded by our regular army and hurt some innocent people, our local army will run away as soon as they hit them, and other rebels nearby will also take the opportunity to sneak attack us, this is really a headache for us, and the court has no good way to deal with them at present, the Lord and the faction said, they are just a small group of rebels, there is no need to use a large army to encircle and suppress, that the cost of the people and money, the gains outweigh the losses, it is recommended to negotiate with them, However, they live far away in Chang'an and do not know the local situation, where will those rebels negotiate peace? What's more, they have let go of many sins, even if they want to be obedient, I will not agree, let alone the people of the six counties in the south of the Yangtze River! ”

Liuchuan Yun told the story and roughly explained the situation over there, of course he didn't just complain, he knew that Ruchuan Feng was an excellent general, and hoped that he would propose to send troops south in the court and personally lead the army to suppress those rebels, so that he would be much easier, after all, in his heart, Jiangnan was their family's territory.

"So grim? It seems that it is time to think of a way to deal with such rebels, otherwise they will think that we are afraid, so they will become more and more arrogant and hurt the people and the court. Rukawa Kaede frowned and muttered.

"Yes, Brother Ah Feng sees that most of those people are extremely vicious, but they don't understand any benevolence, righteousness and morality." Liuchuan Yan interjected on the side, he is Liuchuan Yu's younger brother, and he also looks at him on weekdays.

At this time, Lai Fu finally finished tidying up, and changed into a clean flying fish suit, and he came to the pavilion excitedly under the arrival of a little eunuch.

"But this is a big matter, it's not for us to decide, let's go to the court together in a few days, and then discuss this matter in detail." Rukawa Kaede saw him coming, so he got up with them and walked to the queen mother's bedroom.

Today's Summer Palace, very lively, although it has not yet officially arrived on the day of the Queen Mother's birthday, but many things have already been done, and many descendants from far away from all over the country have also come in advance, so as not to have accidents and delays on the road.

In the main hall, one by one the big red lanterns are hung high, and the red longevity is also posted, in short, it looks very festive here, and the queen mother's original intention is to simply hold a family gathering.

However, the good-faced Liuchuan Xinghe did not agree, he thought that as a filial son, of course he had to give his old mother a decent birthday, not to mention that this is the queen mother, the only queen mother of the Dalie Empire with a noble identity!

The two brothers and sisters of Liuchuan Yun and Liuchuan Xue also came early, and there were a few other princes, they talked very happily, and the Queen Mother sat on a soft chair, looking at them with a happy face, and her eyes were full of love.

"Queen Mother, the three sons of Liuchuan Feng, Liuchuan Yu, and Liuchuan Yan are here." A messenger came in and reported loudly.

"Ah, here they are, invite them in." The Queen Mother stood up tremblingly, supported by the two princes, one left and one right.

"Grandma Queen Mother, we are here."

"It's good to come, it's good to come."

handed over a few boxes of nutritional supplements to her personal maid, and the three of them greeted Rukawa Yun and the others again, and everything was very harmonious and cordial.

This strong family affection made Rukawa Kaede have a momentary loss of mind, except for his father, he rarely felt such a friendship, after all, the imperial family, there is no family affection!

"Look at you guy, tell you to be careful, there was almost a big incident in the first two months, but it scared my wife, and then I didn't know to come and let me see you, what a careless guy."

The old man was a stern criticism of Rukawa Kaede, although it was preaching, but the strong love was overflowing, and he completely ignored the rest of the juniors, which made them feel jealous, but as the sons of the well-educated world, they didn't show it.

"I couldn't get out of bed and walk some time ago, so I didn't come over, don't you come here as soon as it's good, and promise not to make such mistakes in the future, so that grandma you worry, this is really a very bad thing!" Rukawa Kaede replied with a smile.

"Well, it's good if you remember it," and then the old man said to Brother Rukawa Yu again, and he was in a harmonious mood.

"Grandma, it's your birthday in ten days, what gift will we give you then?"

Rukawa Rain rarely touches the old man, and he can't feel her joy and anger, and he is worried that he will give the wrong gift at the birthday banquet and fall behind the rest of the world, which is not in line with his plan.

"Yes, grandma, your old man doesn't lack anything, do you have anything you like? I'll see if the time comes. Liuchuanyun also had this mentality, and followed back.

"It's good if you have a heart, it doesn't matter if it's a gift or not, I'm a person who is buried in the soil for most of my body, and I don't pay much attention to this." The Queen Mother replied.

"Will there be any activity then? We're so ready to prepare. Someone asked again.

"I don't know the specifics, but the emperor did mention that there should be some activities, about your sons."

"Okay."

In this way, at the request of the Queen Mother, after having dinner together, everyone dispersed and went back to their respective homes, after all, today is just to see the old man in advance, and the real topic has to be the birthday in ten days.

When he returned home, Rukawa Kaede wrote two letters again, one for Yan Ku and one for Taishi, he now suspected that Yan Ku didn't tell him the truth, maybe he was afraid that he would blame him or something.

Five days later, he received two replies from Jiangnan.
