Chapter 185: Visiting the Palace
"So, what does Mu Aiqing mean?"
Jiang Chen didn't care, at present, within the jurisdiction of Yunnan, Sun Moon City is also prone to drought, which will be solved in a few days, and now there is another famine in Jizhou.
He had already asked people to transfer a batch of grain to the past, and now that so many disasters had happened in Yunnan Province repeatedly, Jiang Chen inevitably had some doubts in his heart, and even couldn't help but wonder if the king of Yunnan wanted to rebel and hoard grain and grass.
After listening to Jiang Chen's words, Mu Yan was a little surprised, what do you mean by what do you want? Shouldn't Jiang Chen order disaster relief now? At the very least, a portion of disaster relief funds should be allocated.
Mu Yan hesitated for a moment and asked, "The Holy Lord must have already had a way, and now he should send someone to check the situation and then provide disaster relief." Jizhou was originally a place of frequent disasters, floods often occur in summer, most of the grain has been destroyed, and now there is heavy snow and even more grainless, and if this continues, I am afraid it will cause chaos. ”
In fact, there are indeed more natural disasters this year, usually the weather in Jizhou is warm, not to mention snow, there is no need for cotton clothes in winter, for the disaster here Mu Yan actually has some doubts in his heart, but this heavy snow can not always be man-made.
What's more, seeing that Jiang Chen didn't seem to have paid attention, after listening to Mu Yan's words, Jiang Chen spoke: "Jizhou is close to the border, and it has always been a difficult boundary to take care of, besides, isn't this the scope of the jurisdiction of the King of Yunnan?" ”
Listening to the meaning of his words, it seemed that he was not ready to take care of it, Mu Yan's heart was half cold, and sure enough, he listened to Jiang Chen: "Let the prince of Yunnan solve it first, after all, this Kyoto can't save the near fire from far water, and besides, isn't the matter of Sun Moon City also solved by themselves?" It seems that he still has some strength. ”
Jiang Chen took a sip of the tea in his hand disappretently, and Mu Yan couldn't help but feel a trace of anger in his heart, what is this? Jiang Chen, as the king of a country, actually used his own people to test the ability and loyalty of others?
In that case, the minister retired. Before, the minister had been ordered to defend the barbarian land on the border, and now he was urgently summoned by the emperor to rush back to Kyoto. ”
Jiang Chen couldn't wait for Mu Yan to leave here quickly, as long as he stayed in Kyoto for a day, Jiang Chen couldn't help but wonder if he came back this time to discuss some tricks with Mu Rufeng, and whether he would rebuild the relationship with Duanwangfu and unite against him.
He also wanted to install someone to marry Mu Yan again, but he didn't want him to take the initiative to ask for himself now, that Jiang Fengwu didn't have any background. Therefore, Jiang Chen also believed that Mu Yan was just carried away by love, because the woman looked similar to Jiang Liyue and got married.
Now that he is married, the matter of marriage has to be thought about again, at least it should not be now, and he has to live for a while. Listening to Mu Yan's words at this moment, his eyes were a little hypocritical: "Don't you leave after the New Year in Kyoto?" ”
Mu Yan shook his head: "It is the accusation of the ministers to guard the border fortress, now that there is a famine in Jizhou, wouldn't it be unhappy if there are mobs that endanger the safety of our dynasty?" How can a small family reunion compare to everyone's tranquility. ”
Jiang Chen nodded and made a touched look: "Since Aiqing has made up his mind, I won't dissuade him much, I have a courtier like Mu Aiqing in Daliang State, which is a blessing for the country!" ”
Mu Yan looked at Jiang Chenxu and the appearance of the snake for a while, and then he retired, and came out of the Qinzheng Palace, remembering that he promised Jiang Liyue the day before yesterday and wanted her to enter the palace to see Ling Wei at night. He asked his own people in the palace to go to Ye Lingwei to spread a word, and then left and returned to the mansion.
It stands to reason that even if it snows heavily, there should be food stored here, and there are no surrounding towns here and some will be seconded in time, so how can there be a famine now?
There was a faint doubt in his heart, but Mu Yan didn't dare to think about it, what was going on, and he had to go back to investigate to find out, but today this natural disaster happened on the Yunnan territory, I don't know if it was a real natural disaster, or someone did it on purpose?
Mu Yan was so worried that she didn't even notice Jiang Liyue coming in when she sat in the study, as soon as she entered the door, she saw Mu Yan frowning, her hands crossed under her chin, and she didn't know what she was thinking. Jiang Liyue put the food box in her hand on the table and said, "I heard early in the morning that you entered the palace, you must not have had breakfast, this is a newly made jujube cake, try it." ”
Jiang Liyue picked up a piece and handed it to Mu Yan's mouth, he took it, Jiang Liyue saw this and said, "What's wrong?" How did you enter a palace and have a sad face. ”
Looking at Jiang Liyue's concerned eyes, Mu Yan was not ready to hide it from her, not to mention that this girl might be able to think of something for herself. Thinking of this, Mu Yan sorted out his words before he spoke: "I just received a letter from Yexuan, saying that Jizhou came to Jizhou today and there was a famine. ”
He sighed: "I went into the palace early in the morning to talk to the emperor about this time, but he doesn't seem to plan to provide disaster relief, and is ready to let Yunnan solve it by itself, and when there is really no way, then Beijing will provide disaster relief." At present, the drought in Sun Moon City will be resolved, and if something happens in Jizhou again, shouldn't the border be moved and chaotic? ”
Listening to Mu Yan's words, Jiang Liyue also fell into deep thought, "Husband, do you want to go back?" ”
Jiang Liyue said that Mu Yan really wanted to return to the side immediately, but he was a little relieved that Jiang Liyue was not satisfied. Now that the two will get married for a few days, she and her relatives have not seen each other for three years, and now they finally have the opportunity to meet, Mu Yan can't bear to take her away directly, but let her go by herself for a while, he is even more uneasy.
Mu Yan shook his head: "Don't worry, wait until you meet the queen tomorrow, don't you always want to meet her?" ”
Presumably, Ye Xuan was also very curious about his eldest sister's situation, so it was better to wait for Jiang Liyue to meet Ye Lingwei, and then the two would discuss. After stopping Mu Yan's words, Jiang Liyue did not refuse, she just said: "If Fujun already has an idea in his heart, don't worry about me, just do it." ”
Although they are husband and wife now, Jiang Liyue doesn't want to be a burden to Mu Yan, she wants to be someone who can stand side by side with him. Seeing that Mu Yan's eyes were still a little hesitant, Jiang Liyue said: "Husband, if you love me, you don't have to think of Yue'er as a climbing Lingxiao flower, if I want to do it, I will also be a kapok, and stand beside you without borrowing anyone's strength." ”
Her gaze was a little firmer, Mu Yan was stunned for a moment and grinned, this is Jiang Liyue, he already knew her temperament when he first met, which is different from ordinary women. Anyway, they have been through ups and downs together in the past four years, and now what can't they go on?
I haven't seen Ye Lingwei for three years, although in the past three years, Ye Lingwei must have learned the news that she was not dead from Ye Xuan, but Jiang Liyue always felt a little embarrassed, and Ye Lingwei was the only one in this palace who regarded her as a confidant and friend.
"Yue'er? What's wrong? ”
Mu Yan had already called Jiang Liyue twice, but she still hadn't come back to her senses, so he reached out and pushed her. Jiang Liyue came back to her senses and smiled embarrassedly: "I thought that I would see the queen mother in a while, and I was a little nervous." ”
Seeing that she was fine, Mu Yan relieved his heart, entered the palace gate, and several people went towards Weiyang Palace, hearing the following report that General Mu had brought his wife to ask to see the queen's mother, Ye Lingwei quickly stood up excitedly.
After a while, she felt that she had lost her temper again, and only after sorting it out did she open her mouth to let them in, but there were many people in this palace, and it was inconvenient for her to say anything considerate to Jiang Liyue, let alone show it or be too obvious.
Seeing a few of them coming in, Ye Lingwei waved her hand and said to the people in the house: "You guys retreat outside the door first, Mrs. Mu enters the palace for the first time, don't surprise her." ”
The news that Mu Yan married a peasant woman this time had already spread throughout Kyoto, not to mention the palace, so Ye Lingwei's words at this moment were reasonable. Moreover, although there are people next to him in this Weiyang Palace right now, they don't dare not listen to Ye Lingwei's words in such a situation at this moment.
Seeing that the people around her retreated, Ye Lingwei looked at Jiang Liyue with a smile: "This is General Mu's wife, right?" If it's really a wonderful person, it's hard for you to still have the heart to come to the palace to meet me. ”
She stretched out her hand and pulled Jiang Liyue to sit aside, and then whispered: "Now that I see that you are safe and sound, I will be relieved, how have you been doing in the past three years?" ”
Jiang Liyue nodded, although she couldn't leave the General's Mansion, she was away from Kyoto and didn't care about these worldly things, and her heart was also comfortable. "How is the Queen Mother now? How are you doing? ”
Ye Lingwei smiled bitterly, "That's it, now that Prime Minister Qin and Concubine Chen are dominant in the palace, my position is becoming more and more precarious, and it is naturally difficult to move in this palace." If it weren't for this son in the womb, I'm afraid I really wouldn't know how to persevere. ”
Speaking of this, a gentle smile appeared on Ye Lingwei's face, and Jiang Liyue was a little surprised: "You, are you pregnant?" ”
Ye Lingwei nodded and gently stroked her belly: "I haven't notified the emperor yet, there are too many eyes in this palace, although I don't know if this child can be born safely, but I will definitely do my best to protect him." ”
Mu Yan pondered for a moment and said: "Don't hide it from the queen mother, I also have some people in this palace, I will find a way to transfer them to Weiyang Palace, if he has anything to do with the mother, you can directly order them, or let this person tell me." ”
Ye Lingwei is not only Jiang Liyue's friend and Ye Xuan's sister, in this palace, she is still a check and balance on an equal footing with Concubine Chen, only when Ye Lingwei is safe, the peace in the palace at this moment will be maintained.
Otherwise, I am afraid that Qin Zhi's family will really dominate the court, and they will inevitably be suppressed at that time.
