Chapter 142: It's Raining
The next day, there were unforeseen storms and rains.
Originally, I knew that they were going to rush to the next place today, but now it has become inconvenient.
It rained all night last night, and the next morning she woke up with the scent of the earth, which Aoxue especially loved.
When he woke up in the morning and heard someone say it was raining outside, he quickly packed up and went outside.
Aoxue pushed open the door of the house, the rain did not stop, but it was not so big that you could walk in the rain, Aoxue was like a wild horse that had taken off the leash, scattering joy in the rain.
Baili Minghui went there early in the morning, and when he left, he saw the twenty-year-old Tianxiang and couldn't bear to disturb her.
In Meiji's room.
"The courtier's brother will meet you, the emperor, I don't know what the emperor is looking for the courtier."
Originally, it wasn't like this between Minghui and Meiji, polite, but now that there are outsiders, some of his etiquette still have to be observed.
"Minghui, what do you think of the outcome of our deliberations yesterday?"
Minghui probably knew that Meiji would ask him this, after all, he was called over so early, if it was an ordinary matter, Meiji could mostly let his subordinates bring Minghui.
"Brother Chen, I think this matter is a bit strange."
Meiji knew that Minghui thought the same as him, but it was not convenient to say that there were outsiders yesterday.
Last night, the emperor and the father-in-law next to him came to Meiji and said a lot to Meiji, which made Meiji even more sure that his thoughts were correct.
"Minghui, you tell what you think."
"The younger brother feels that this matter is full of suspicions, first, this local official is logically speaking, a relatively low official position, he will not come into contact with things about tax payment, and the relationship between tax payment and him has no direct benefits."
"Second, when the local magistrate gave his opinion, he was very sure that the emperor would agree with his opinion."
"The third establishment feels that these things are not as simple as we seem on the surface, and there must be someone behind the local officials to promote this matter, such a development, after all, how the treasury has nothing to do with him."
Tell Meiji all the things that Baili Minghui feels puzzled about, after all, he is the emperor, and all the decisions are made by him, he only needs to give Meiji an opinion.
However, Baili Meiji did not answer his question directly, and turned his head to the father-in-law. "What do you think about this? Tell me everything you know. ”
That father-in-law's real voice, Minghui knew that this father-in-law must know something they didn't know.
"Back to the emperor, things are like this, this magistrate was just a small county official when the first emperor was alive, but now after the first emperor died, he suddenly became a magistrate, here he seems to be harmonious on the surface, helping the masses to do this, that is the slave learned some more negative news."
After speaking, the father-in-law didn't look at the emperor. It seemed to ask him if he wanted to continue.
"But it doesn't hurt to say it." Now Meiji has given the right to speak to the father-in-law, and when the father-in-law has this sentence, he knows that no matter how much he says, he will not be implicated with himself.
"This magistrate is an old man and a younger, of course this is before, but after he became a magistrate, his mother died inexplicably, and not long after, his wife also died, this magistrate was very sad, and he did not marry another concubine for a long time."
The father-in-law paused and looked at Meiji's face, which didn't change much
"But not long ago, he married another lady, logically speaking, now everyone should start with his concubine, but that person was directly named a lady, the slave didn't pay too much attention, but yesterday I heard that the emperor was going to reform the policy, and the slave had to worry..."
"So the old slave asked people to go out to inquire about the news, but on the day of the marriage, no one knew what the lady looked like, including the lady did not get off the sedan chair, and the magistrate directly announced that he had married a lady, but the slave felt that this lady was not so simple."
"Your Majesty, this is the reason why you live and work in peace and contentment, most likely because the magistrate is not greedy, and he has always asked people to help the people, which is the reason why the people think they like too much, because it can continue to help the people live a good life, but now in the past two days, no magistrate has become lazy and absent, managing any trivial matters, but sending different people out to deal with it."
Your Majesty, the slave feels that this local official is definitely not a lady, but a military advisor, that is to say, Jiang Hehai may have a rebellious mentality now.
It's not that the father-in-law said nonsense, after all, the one who wins the hearts of the people wins the world, and the world is the one with many poor people after all, and the rivers and seas are so reformed, the hearts of all the poor will move closer to him, and it may be easy to rebel at that time.
Minghui listened quietly on the side, what his father-in-law said was really the same as what he thought.
"Back to the emperor, the younger brother also has a matter, logically speaking, we went to the magistrate yesterday, no one knows, but the younger brother feels that the people there seem to have gotten the news in advance and know that we will pass."
"Brother Chen looked at the marks of many tables and chairs on the floor, which proved that there were many things in the office, but when we got there, there was only one table and one chair."
These words were known very early on, but he never said them, firstly, because he was afraid that it would affect the magistrate and cause him to be startled.
Second, she wasn't quite sure about anything, and he was just about to go out to investigate when the emperor called him here to discuss the matter
In fact, many people noticed the difference yesterday, but no one said it, so this is a tacit understanding.
Aoxue went back to the house after playing outside for a while, and when she arrived at the house, she found that Minghui hadn't come back yet, so don't start to get bored, she called Wanyun and Qingfeng over.
"Do you think it's good or bad for us to come out this time?"
Aoxue was really bored, so she wanted to find someone to chat.
"Of course it's good, the air outside the palace is so fresh, let's go out for a walk, wouldn't it be a good thing for you, Princess?"
Wan Yun has no heart and no lungs, he doesn't know how dangerous life outside the palace is, she only knows that life outside the palace can bring a lot of happiness.
"What do you think, princess? What is it like outside the palace? I miss you, I know? ”
In terms of the answer to this matter, Qingfeng is obvious, and he is much more sensible than Wanyun.
Qingfeng was born in martial arts since he was a child, he knows how dirty it is outside the palace, and he also knows how terrible life outside the palace is?
Since the princess asked her so, she knew what the princess already knew in her heart, and since she knew, he had nothing to hide, so he simply said it.
Oh, Aoxue likes the character of Qingfeng, what does Qingfeng say that he won't twist and pinch? will not be afraid of her because she is the princess, and another reason is because she has martial arts all her life, and she also needs the protection of Qingfeng when necessary.
And Wanyun on the side didn't know what the two of them were talking to, so she couldn't help but get anxious and said.
"What's wrong with life outside the palace? Carefree, free, what is like the palace, you have to care about this person's thoughts, that person's thoughts The princess doesn't come, I look at the princess. ”
Aoxue feels that if Qingfeng is like a sugar cane, it has its own unique taste and has a resolute and unyielding spirit.
Then Wanyun is a pistachio, and he can say anything, which makes the nervous people look relaxed.
Aoxue is relieved that Qingfeng and Wanyun, after all, Wanyun still has the protection of Shuyi, Qingfeng can be protected, and Aoxue herself has the protection of Minghui.
Ao Xue looked at Wanyun like this, and Qingfeng couldn't help laughing, how happy she was.
It didn't take long for Minghui to come, and when Aoxue saw Minghui coming back, she immediately walked over to Minghui.
Qingfeng and Wanyun saw Aoxue and quietly retreated.
After Ao Xuexue saw Minghui, she asked Minghui, where did she go, why did it take so long? Minghui just replied and went to Baili Ming Junzhi, Ao Xue didn't ask any more, but Minghui had something he wanted to tell Ao Xue.
"Aoxue, do you think what we did yesterday was right?"
Meiji suddenly asked such a sentence, and Aoxue was a little confused at first, but then she also knew, and she asked about the change of policy yesterday.
Ao Xue also has her own doubts, she knew it yesterday, but they didn't say much about Baili Minghui, and it was not convenient for her to be a woman.
He was waiting for the rest of the people to mention it, and he was answering, but he didn't expect that when you asked him about it again, some people had already come to some conclusions, but no one had thought about what Aoxue thought.
Now Minghui came to ask Aoxue, and Aoxue's answer may be crucial to everyone.
"Minghui, you asked me this way, I know what you discussed in the morning, you may not have noticed yesterday, that magistrate's clothes are worth a lot of money at all."
Ao Xue looked at Minghui and continued.
"Although Jiang Hehai's clothes look like ordinary clothes, when he walked past me, the clothes accidentally rubbed my hand, and I knew that it was a particularly famous piece of cloth."
Ao Xue shook her head and continued, "I can't remember the name, you know, that kind of cloth only has a dozen pieces of cloth a year, and there are only ten pieces of cloth in the palace. ”
"There are only two kinds of clothes that an ordinary magistrate can wear, and he may have earned it through business at first, but this kind of cloth is extremely precious, how many years does it take to earn so much? There is also a possibility that someone gave it to him, since someone can give her such a valuable item, then the person who sent it is not simple. ”
Ao Xue's answer made Minghui also startled, he just wanted to ask Ao Xue if he supported their idea, but he didn't expect Ao Xue to find out early in the morning.
