Chapter 382: He Shen (5)
It's just that this is related to the next strategic plan of the Ming Dynasty for the Qing Dynasty, so it can't be used by outsiders. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info even if Jiang Wulin knows a thing or two because of the reason for the mission. But the detailed planning is also not well understood.
But one thing is clear to him. That is, the White Lotus Sect occupies these places only for money and people. After all, the White Lotus Sect is only a sect and religious group under the control of the Ming Dynasty, and it is not a profit-benefiting group with strong political and political demands. Therefore, the expansion of the territory is not within the scope of their consideration. And those found property and people taken in will eventually be transported back to Daming.
Speaking of which, the White Lotus Sect is a tool for the Great Ming to collect wealth and collect people.
It can be inferred from this that these existing sites will naturally be spit out. In the end, the White Lotus Sect does not produce. When this piece of food is eaten, instinctively, it is necessary to move to a new place. And in order to facilitate the transfer of property and the people, it is necessary to open up a channel to connect with the Ming Dynasty.
At the moment, there are only two ways to go, water and land!
Then, Sichuan, Hunan, Guizhou, Yunnan, Guangxi, and even Guangdong in the Qing Kingdom will be plagued by disasters. Although the economy of these provinces is not developed. But adding up, there are still a few taels of meat.
And the Ming Dynasty is now in the middle of a war with Britain in the South Seas. The consumption of that material, like drinking water, gurgling, is less than half in the blink of an eye. Therefore, with these material supplements transported from the Qing State, no matter what, it can also relieve the logistical pressure.
Reasoning in his heart, his thoughts also floated. He Shen and Fu Changan looked at it and understood that he didn't want to say more, so they stopped talking.
At this time, the thunder outside the house was also much louder. The roar continued, as if someone had fired a cannon in the air. The pouring rain also became dense. The howling wind is getting stronger and stronger. Sitting in the room, you can hear the sound.
Fu Changan smiled flatteringly, and said loudly: "Young nephew Jiang, you see that the rain is so heavy tonight. Why don't you stay overnight at the Lord's House? ”。
At this moment, Jiang Wulin retreated from his thoughts. After thinking about it, I wondered: "It's better not to bother with adults!" The task of this visit to Qing has been accomplished. It is estimated that in the near future, I will go back to Nanyang to report the situation. And during this time, I still have a lot of official business to deal with..."
Knowing that the rules of the Ming Dynasty are very strict, it is not good to stay with them. He used the carriage in the house to send Jiang Wulin back to the post station. But before leaving, Jiang Wulin inadvertently asked about the concubine. learned that she was originally the personal maid of Princess Dayue, and was later favored by the new emperor. It is logical that she was named a princess by Da Yue. Now, she is the favorite concubine of the new emperor.
Responded a few times, indicating that he knew. Jiang Wulin got into the carriage and left Hefu.
But he didn't go back to the station, but asked the coachman to let him get off in advance. Then turn around and rush to Princess Yuxin's mansion. In fact, as soon as he left the Forbidden City, he wanted to ask Princess Yuxin for clarification. It's good to know if the concubine is the 'falling red' she thinks about day and night.
But for the sake of business, he had to go to the Hefu.
Now that it's done, I can't wait any longer.
At a time when he was so anxious, Yuqing Palace. Ru Concubine was lighting the lamp and sitting at the wooden table with a sudden face. Since today is the fifteenth, according to the custom, the emperor must rest in the queen's palace. This is in line with the meaning of husband and wife being of the same heart and growing old.
It just so happens that the concubine is in a different mood and wants to have a little private space and be alone. So she closed the door early and stared at the brocade box that Jiang Wulin gave her. She had been watching it for two or three hours since she took it out. The tears are like the water of a river that bursts its banks, pouring down for thousands of miles. But she never had the courage to open the brocade box.
Finally, when her eyes were uncomfortably red and swollen, she mustered up the courage and trembled to open the tightly sealed brocade box. The gradually widening gap is like a bottomless abyss, little by little, it expands.
A pressure as heavy as a mountain also reached her hands. The hand that opened the brocade box was frozen in mid-air. After such a time of half-burnt incense, she finally snapped and closed the brocade box.
It is said that evasion is a sign of cowardice! At this moment, she chose the cowardice that she despised extremely much.
When it was dawn, Princess Yuxin rushed over early. Seeing that Ru Concubine's eyes were red and swollen, she also guessed a few points. After all, Jiang Wulin braved the heavy rain last night and ran to her house to ask about Ru Concubine. Whatever happens, it will cause others to think deeply. What's more, Princess Yuxin is a lady from the deep palace. Just think about it, and you can understand the general idea.
Therefore, as soon as the palace door opened, I rushed to find Ru Concubine early.
After conveying Jiang Wulin's request to meet, Ru Concubine seemed a little unnatural. Yu Xin looked at it and secretly retired. In this way, the sun rose in the east and set in the west, and finally it was evening. Originally, Emperor Jiaqing was going to stay here with Ru Concubine, but during the day, Ru Concubine said that she was holding her body. Emperor Jiaqing looked at it and found that Ru Concubine's face was indeed pale and a little sick. Let her rest well and come back to take care of her another day.
Late at night, when the sky is covered with thick clouds. For example, the concubine changed into the princess's clothes and used potions to hide the fragrance. Dressed up again, through the informant in the palace, sneaked out.
