Cautiously stretched his hand into the granary, Ye Yingwu grabbed a handful from it, and Xiao Yangzi next to him had already raised a torch and came over, but when the firelight illuminated this darkness, the faces of the two people were clearly stunned. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The handful of grain that Ye Yingwu grabbed in his hand was not the imaginary white rice grains, but a mixture of grains of various colors, including normal white rice grains, as well as miscellaneous grains such as wheat, and even Ye Yingwu stretched out his fingers and gently flicked it, and saw the grass roots mixed in it.

Originally, he wanted to throw it out and smash it on the silent faces of Wen Tianxiang and Jiang Hao beside him, but after barely exhaling, Ye Yingwu finally held back, his hand trembled slightly and sprinkled the grain back into the granary, and he jumped down from the ladder with a blue face, and said nothing.

Wen Tianxiang and Jiang Hao looked at him silently, and when they saw that Ye Yingwu was just walking slowly towards him, they simply turned sideways and stood on both sides. Ye Yingwu walked past the two of them and slowly turned his head: "Tell me the truth, how long has it been since such food was distributed to the people." ”

With a solemn bow of his hand at Ye Yingwu, Wen Tianxiang said in a deep voice: "It's already the fifth day. Now is the time of green and yellow, although the people of Jiangnan donated a lot of silver and brocade, but after all, there is not much food that can be purchased on the market, even if we try our best to smuggle from the north, but it is already difficult to solve the urgent need, so we can only make this decision. ”

At that moment, Li Wen Tianxiang bent down deeply: "Chen Wen Tianxiang has been entrusted by His Royal Highness, and his crime deserves death, and he also asks His Highness to punish and condemn his crimes." ”

Ye Yingwu didn't pay attention to him, but slowly turned around, looked at the black granaries in the dark, and couldn't help but whisper: "Surrender, surrender to you Wen Songrui, what's the use, could it be that your flesh and blood alone can solve the hunger of these hundreds of thousands of people?" Senior brother, you think too highly of yourself. ”

Wen Tianxiang was slightly stunned, silent in the wind and didn't know what to say. And Jiang Hao stepped forward: "Your Highness, this is also a helpless move, after all, it is really difficult for these grains to support the summer harvest, and now it is not only the shortage of grain in Yingchang Mansion and Caizhou, but also the increasingly intensive war in the past two years, Mongolia and we are all without grain and grass, and it can be said that we are about to run out of money." It is imperative to be able to save the lives of so many people, and no matter what they eat, it is better to save their lives than others. ”

Sighing softly, Ye Yingwu went over to help Wen Tianxiang up: "Senior brother, I know where your distress is, but now the hungry people in Yingchang Mansion and Caizhou are about to drag down the entire Ming Dynasty, if it weren't for the generosity of so many Jiangnan people this time, I'm afraid this level will really not be able to pass." As long as you persist for one more month, when the summer harvest arrives, Jinghu in the south of the Yangtze River will be quiet this year, and the natural harvest will be indispensable, and then the Yingchang Mansion and Caizhou will naturally stabilize. ”

"Your Highness!" Reaching out to grab Ye Yingwu's hand, Wen Tianxiang's voice was already a little trembling.

The soldier died for his confidant, Wen Tianxiang knew that he had done his best, but in fact, using such food for disaster relief, anyone would feel sour in his heart, but Wen Tianxiang also knew that he had no other choice, and he did not regret doing this.

patted Wen Tianxiang on the shoulder, Ye Yingwu looked at Jiang Hao: "This is the helplessness of the Ming Dynasty, and it is also the shame of the Ming Dynasty, the suffering brought to us by the Mongolian Tartars will be repaid twice in the future." ”

"No!" Jiang Hao, Xiao Yangzi and others all solemnly surrendered.

Walking out of the granary slowly, Ye Yingwu asked in a deep voice, "Is there any news from You Xuanfu?" ”

Yang Xu, who had been standing at the door, shook his head lightly: "Since returning to the courtyard we arranged, You Xuanfu has not moved, only a few of his personal entourages are responsible for serving food and washing, and they are the simplest conversations, and our people have not heard anything." ”

Ye Yingwu nodded: "You Xuanfu is not a fool, this must be clear, but the more calm his reaction is, the more he can conclude that there is a ghost in his heart." After all, if you are someone else, it is impossible to simply wash and go to bed at this time. ”

"Husband mean?" Su Niang suddenly became nervous, stretched out her hand, and several leaders of the six doors were already walking quickly in the dark, and stepped forward and solemnly bowed their hands.

"No matter who comes from the sacred, I will meet him for a while tonight!" Ye Yingwu waved his sleeves, "Let's go, let's go to You Xuanfu's residence to have a look." Pickaxe, the distribution of grain and grass tomorrow is still a heavy responsibility, and there must be no negligence, and in addition, do not let the Mongolian Tartars see the clues. In addition, Song Rui, I'm afraid that I want to trouble you to follow a certain trip, or your name of Wen Song Rui is more useful. ”

Wen Tianxiang smiled slightly: "It's better to be respectful than to obey your fate." ”

————————————

Lighting the candle, the entourage standing next to You Xuanfu gently took half a step back, just lowered his head and said nothing.

You Xuanfu cautiously got off the bed, stretched out his hand to lift the curtain and looked out, the moon was already hanging in the sky, and the clear light was sprinkled in the courtyard, and he could see the figure of the person under the cloister. At that moment, Li You Xuanfu blew out the candle and deliberately shouted loudly: "You stand down." ”

The attendant also took a few steps back, making a distinct footstep sound, and then crept back again. You Xuanfu was still watching carefully by the window, and the figures under the corridor did not move, obviously not noticing.

At that moment, Li You Xuanfu bowed slightly, and tried his best to keep his voice low: "His Royal Highness the Prince, this is in the lair of the Southern Barbarians, please forgive your subordinates for not being able to pay full salutes." ”

The entourage smiled slightly, and his gestures were no different from ordinary Han people, and even the voice of his mouth would not arouse anyone's suspicion, it was pure Northland Chinese, I am afraid that even if it was replaced by Wen Tianxiang and they watched here in person, it would be difficult to find that this entourage was a Mongolian.

Moreover, he is also the prince of the Eastern Palace under one person and above ten thousand people in Mongolia, the eldest son whom Kublai Khan relied on and loved the most. Because he has liked Han culture since he was a child, Prince Zhenjin can find a little Mongolian shadow in addition to his face, whether it is living habits or speaking, he is no different from Han people. At the moment, seeing You Xuan's way of bowing with his hands pressed to his chest, Prince Zhenjin even frowned subconsciously, after all, in his East Palace, civil and military affairs are mainly based on the Han family's hand ceremony, and at this time, suddenly seeing a Han man walking Mongolian etiquette is so proficient, it will naturally give people a sense of nondescriptry.

"Okay, Mr. You doesn't need to be so polite." The real golden prince said with a smile, although his voice was very low, but it was the momentum of a person who had been in the top position for a long time and had not concealed it in the slightest. After all, for him, he usually plays the most role as the crown prince of the Great Mongolian Khanate.

You Xuanfu leaned over a little resignedly, lowered his voice and said respectfully: "The subordinates have talked with the Southern Barbarians today, and the Southern Barbarian Lion opened his mouth widely, wanting us to cede all the land of Henan and Dongchuan, but the subordinates fought with it, and then the Southern Barbarians wanted the land of Huaibei, but the subordinates did not agree, and they were stalemate. ”

The real golden prince was slightly stunned: "The opening is Dongchuan, is it difficult to ······"

"I haven't received the news yet, but what the Southern Barbarian said is conclusive, I'm afraid that Xichuan and Dali are already more auspicious." You Xuanfu said in a deep voice, even he was shocked at that time, but thinking about the identity of Wen Tianxiang and Zhang Shijie, it is naturally impossible to lie, so it is estimated that Xichuan and Dali have fallen into the hands of the Nanbanzi now, "But since the Nanbanzi wants Dongchuan, it means that General Liu is still holding on." ”

Tapping his palms gently, Prince Zhenjin nodded: "Father Khan had already expected that the Southern Barbarians would covet Dongxichuan and Dali, but he didn't expect them to move so fast. ”

"Now at least the Nanban has given in, and they no longer appeal to Heluo and Dongchuan." You Xuanfu said with a bitter face, "And the minister has rejected the Southern Barbarian's request for Huaibei land, but the Southern Barbarian has put forward a rather strange request, wanting to kill the corpses of the former Song Huaidong in Xuzhou, Huaibei to pacify Li Tingzhi and the Huai soldiers, the subordinates don't know what to do, but for the sake of the Southern Barbarian no longer asking for land, he reluctantly agreed." ”

Prince Zhenjin's brows suddenly furrowed: "This Ye Yingwu is really a good calculation." If you want to get back the corpses of Li Tingzhi and the Huai soldiers, you must still want to make a big fuss here. Although the Huai army suffered heavy losses in several major battles, it was definitely not without the strength of a battle, Huai Xi'an Qingfu still had Xia Gui, and there were two Huai Shui divisions in the north of Yangzhou, Ye Yingwu wanted to exchange the loyalty of these two Huai armies by posthumously sealing Li Tingzhi. ”

I took a gentle breath. You Xuanfu was suddenly a little helpless, after all, he had already agreed to this item, and now even if he sensed Ye Yingwu's intentions, it was already too late.

"Of course," Prince Zhenjin barely showed a smile, "I can't blame you for this matter, Aiqing doesn't need to blame herself so much." After all, for Great Mongolia, the Southern Barbarians didn't ask for much land, which was already very good. If Ye Yingwu can't take advantage of it, this peace talk will be just a piece of paper, so what's the use. ”

You Xuanfu still clenched his fists a little unwillingly, he has been in Lin'an for so many years, and he is actually familiar with the set of the Southern Barbarians in the officialdom, but he didn't expect that he finally made a chess move, and he didn't expect Ye Yingwu to welcome back so many corpses, in fact, what he wanted to do was not to deal with the official in the court, but to hold the Huai Army tightly in the palm of his hand, after all, it was also tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and no one would ignore it, let alone a person like Ye Yingwu who started by relying on the army.

"Although the Southern Barbarians don't want land, the compensation for gold, silver, cattle and horses is still amazing." After You Xuanfu hesitated for a moment, he said with some difficulty, "And the subordinates think that the most worthy of careful consideration is to tie up the families of Zhang Hongfan, Timur Buhua and other generals to apologize to the Southern Barbarians." ”

"This can't be." Prince Zhenjin said in a deep voice, "The Southern Barbarians are too deceitful. Moreover, His Royal Highness the Father Khan also knew that he would definitely not agree to such a thing, and would rather fight to the death with the Southern Barbarians. ”

Looking at the real golden prince, You Xuanfu was silent for a moment, and then said in a low voice: "Please also ask Your Highness Mingjian, now my officials of the Great Mongolian Dynasty, Zhongmeng, Hui, Tang Wu, Han and other ethnic groups are already fighting openly and secretly, holding each other and uniting as party henchmen, even if the Great Khan disagrees in his heart, he will not be able to stand so many people falling into the ground, and I am afraid that if I don't agree, I will have to agree!" ”

Seeing that Prince Zhenjin was stunned, You Xuanfu continued: "And the list listed by Ye Yingwu, the son of the Southern Barbarians, is not complete, and there are still many generals who went south to Lin'an who are not among them, such as General Instigation, when the time comes, the families and ethnic groups of these people may stand up to support, after all, ······ It's none of your business, hang high, and in order to survive, anything can be done. ”

"They are not for survival, but for the benefit of their own ethnic group, if someone falls, someone will naturally vacate their place, who will care about the life and death of the entire Great Mongolia! This Ye Yingwu," Prince Zhenjin gritted his teeth and slammed the bed, "If it weren't for Marshal Ashu underestimating the enemy and letting this Ye Yingwu save his life, I'm afraid there would be no many worries and worries today, and I'm afraid that my Great Mongolia would have become the lord of the world long ago!" A cowardly Southern Barbarian country, surviving for a hundred years, turned Ye Yingwu upside down in just one year! ”

You Xuanfu also had a bitter look on his face, after all, Ah Shu had died on the battlefield, and now that the battle situation had eroded like this, Mongolia's foreign powerhouses had been exposed, and no matter how much they were annoyed and remorseful here, it was already too late.

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, we must make up our minds." You Xuanfu said softly, "Now if you drag on like this with the Southern Barbarians, I'm afraid there will be movement in Dongchuan and Huaibei." His Highness also saw it during the day today, and the Southern Barbarians transferred so much food from Jiangnan to rescue here, and the burden we threw to the Southern Barbarians at that time did not slow them down. But we in Mongolia must be careful to watch out for whether anyone wants to make any trouble behind it. ”

"You mean?" True Golden Prince Huo Ran stood up.

"In such troubled times, there are inevitably people who want to take risks." You Xuanfu said in a deep voice, "At that time, Shandong Li Pu, did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince forget?" ”

Nodding, the real golden prince commanded in a low voice: "Yes, this peace talk is quickly resolved, and it can't be delayed any longer, so that the compensation for gold, silver, cattle and horses can be pressed as much as possible, and among the cattle and horses, cattle and horses should be mainly cattle, and horses can give less if they can." In addition, every inch of land is gold, and not an inch of the land of my Great Mongolia can be given to the Southern Barbarians, and now how many state capitals the Southern Barbarians and we control each other will be taken as a fact. ”

You Xuanfu was just about to agree, when suddenly there was a knock on the door.

The two of them glanced at each other, and they both showed a look of surprise, they spoke very little just now, and the candle was extinguished, it was impossible for anyone to notice anything, how could they come to knock on the door in the middle of the night? At the moment, Prince Zhenjin went out in three steps and two steps, as You Xuanfu's personal attendant, he was already resting in the outer compartment, and now it is reasonable to go out and open the door.

And You Xuanfu hurriedly ruffled the futon, tore over the robe, and pretended to have just gotten up from the bed.

"Who knocked at the door in the middle of the night?" After all, the real golden prince is still well-informed, and shouted in a low voice.

"My family has received an urgent report from Nanjing, and I have come to visit Mr. You!" There was a shout outside the door.

Prince Zhenjin was stunned, and immediately looked back at You Xuanfu, and after a moment of silence, You Xuanfu nodded. Prince Zhenjin carefully put away the dagger that had been unsheathed in his sleeve, took a step back, and slammed the door open. The moonlight sprinkled into the house, and he could already clearly see two people standing at the door, one was Wen Tianxiang, the prime minister of the Ming Dynasty who had met with You Xuanfu during the day, and the other was an ordinary young man in white beside him, with a sword in his hand, and he couldn't see what the way was.

It's just that when the real golden prince and the young man in white glanced at each other, the eyes of the two people all flashed with stunned looks, but soon the real golden prince lowered his head and stepped aside, and the man in white just glanced at the corner of his mouth, took a step forward, and followed Wen Tianxiang.

You Xuanfu didn't expect Wen Tianxiang and the holy man in white to walk directly into the house, but he still bowed his hand respectfully: "Wen Xianggong came at night, I don't know why?" ”

Wen Tianxiang smiled slightly, and just as he wanted to speak, the man in white standing next to him stretched out his hand to stop him, his eyes were as cold as a sword, and he looked at You Xuanfu directly: "Dare to ask Mr. You, how many places are there in this room for resting beds?" ”

You Xuanfu was stunned, although he didn't know what this young man meant, but the matter had come to this point, and there was nothing to prevaricate: "This house was arranged by Xianggong Wen for a certain person, and there are only two beds in the house, which can be used for a certain person and his entourage to rest, I don't know what's wrong?" ”

The man in white didn't say anything, but walked straight to the outer bed not far away, and didn't look at the real golden prince with his head down. The futon on the bed was messy, obviously someone had been lying here just now, the man in white sneered, this guy was quick with his hands and feet, and he didn't forget to mess up the quilt when he opened the door.

At that moment, he stretched out his hand to look into the futon, and the man in white, Huo Ran, turned his head to look at Prince Zhenjin and You Xuanfu. Realizing something, the hands of both people trembled slightly at the same time. Although Prince Zhenjin did not lose his mind in his urgency and knew how to turn the futon into chaos, the futon was cold, and there was no way to hide it.

The man in white sneered: "I don't know where Mr. You's entourage came from?" Now that the lights have been turned off and resting, you still call him into the house to give orders? (To be continued.) )
