Chapter 331: Scholar
Although Bei Ye Xuan easily repelled this Ling Guo General and made this Ling Guo General make a fool of himself in front of so many people, Kita Ye Xuan felt strange in his heart, how did this Ling Guo people know that they would escort grain and grass at this time.
"Lord Wang, is this doubting whether there are any spies in the northern Xinjiang?" Ah Jin saw the hesitation and suspicion on Kitano Xuan's face, having been by Kitano Xuan's side for so many years, Ah Jin could see at a glance what Kitano Xuan was thinking.
Kitano Xuan nodded and said in a deep voice, "This is indeed a little too strange...... When did Ling Guo fight a war that didn't come first with grain and grass? It's just that this time, I didn't expect that we would be able to delay with the people of this Ling Kingdom for so long. But Ling Guo was able to know that we would escort grain and grass halfway, if there was nothing boring in this, would you believe it? ”
Ah Jin thought about it and felt that there seemed to be nothing wrong with what Bei Yexuan said, this General Ling Guo came too quickly and suddenly, and they only started to suspect the matter of grain and grass just now, but this General Ling Guo directly said that their grain and grass were gone, isn't this a self-confession?
"Then what does the prince want to do? Obviously, this General Ling will not give up easily, especially now that he knows that our grain and grass are not enough, he will definitely ......" Ah Jin was a little anxious, he knew that as long as there was something about grain and grass, it would not be simple, not to mention that their grain and grass had been robbed.
Kitano Xuan smiled: "What are you afraid of?" We are just robbed of spare grain and grass, not the grain and grass that we are about to use. Don't worry, you won't starve to death one by one. ”
Beiye Xuan has always been prepared to do things, and he will definitely not wait until the grain and grass are almost exhausted before he starts to write to the emperor of Northern Xinjiang.
The Emperor of Northern Xinjiang received a letter from Beiye Xuan again, but the letter said that the army on the border did not receive the batch of grain and grass that the Emperor of Northern Xinjiang had sent over again.
"I don't know what's going on at this border...... It seems that I really want to clean up this court, and even the grain and grass sent to the border have people who dare to move. The Northern Xinjiang Emperor said in a deep voice to the empress.
Since the matter of Concubine De, the emperor of Northern Xinjiang always likes to come to talk to the queen, and sometimes even talks to the queen about some things in the court.
In the past, in the heart of the emperor of Northern Xinjiang, he always thought that the queen was a woman who only knew how to deal with harem affairs. But when he had told the queen about some political affairs and received some advice from her, he found that she was not as weak and ignorant as he had imagined.
The queen was holding a book in her hand, and after hearing the emperor of Northern Xinjiang talking to her, she smiled and put down the book in her hand: "The emperor must already have an idea in his heart, so the concubine won't say much." It's just that if this matter is not handled well, there will be no way to give an explanation to the soldiers on the border who are desperately serving the northern Xinjiang. ”
The Emperor of Northern Xinjiang naturally understood this, but after saying it from the queen's mouth, he felt a lot more comfortable, sighed and said, "I really didn't expect the queen to care so much about political affairs...... It seems that I really didn't know the queen too well before! ”
In Fusheng Restaurant, Su Xiaoya has been very busy these days, and the tall and thin man comes over almost every day, and after ordering a table of dishes, he stares at Su Xiaoya and smirks after eating alone.
At first, Su Xiaoya would reason with the man, thinking that the man would disturb her business, but after a long time, Su Xiaoya also gave up, as long as the man did not interfere with the business of her restaurant, she was happy to make this man's money.
"Sister Xiaoya, why hasn't this strange man left yet?!" Lin Wan'er didn't like this tall and thin man, and felt that he didn't look like a good person.
Su Xiaoya was helpless, looked at Lin Wan'er and asked, "Leave him alone...... How did you get free to come over today? Didn't you say there was something else? ”
Recently, Lin Wan'er has been very busy, and she has been busy learning some things from the city lord, and Su Xiaoya hasn't seen Lin Wan'er for several days.
Lin Wan'er shrugged her shoulders and said, "It's not my father yet...... Pull me every day to let me learn things, I really can't learn. So I just sneaked out to take a breath. ”
Su Xiaoya felt that Lin Wan'er's appearance was too cute, and she couldn't help but reach out and pinch Lin Wan'er's face.
"That's right, Sister Xiaoya." Lin Wan'er didn't care about Su Xiaoya's actions against her, and hurriedly said as if she remembered something: "Do you know that the scholar was locked up by the emperor, saying that he wanted to plant the nine clans!" ”
Zhujiu Clan?! Su Xiaoya had heard of the cruelty of this kind of strain responsibility before, but since she came to this place, she had never seen any strains of the nine and three clans, at most she was just exiled from her family.
Su Xiaoya couldn't help but ask, "What the hell happened, how could the emperor suddenly be so angry?" ”
The Northern Xinjiang Emperor was not a brutal monarch, and there must have been a reason for doing so.
Lin Wan'er whispered into Su Xiaoya's ear and said, "I heard that it was because the scholars betrayed the map of northern Xinjiang, which caused the grain and grass on the border to be not delivered in time, and the emperor was furious!" ”
Su Xiaoya was shocked, she didn't know anything about grain and grass at all, so she hurriedly asked, "What's going on with the grain and grass at the border?" How did I not know about this?! ”
Lin Wan'er saw the anxious look on Su Xiaoya's face, and said hesitantly: "This ...... In fact, not many people know about this matter, after all, the emperor said that the grain and grass in northern Xinjiang were sold by his ministers, which was not a glorious thing, so he hid it. Actually, if my dad hadn't said it, I wouldn't have known about it! ”
Hearing that there was a problem at the border, Su Xiaoya was a little anxious, and hurriedly pulled Lin Wan'er and asked, "What's going on?" What the hell is going on at the border? ”
"Sister Xiaoya, don't worry, this border must be fine, if there is something, there will be a commotion outside, don't worry." Lin Wan'er was a little helpless, feeling that Su Xiaoya's reaction was too big.
Su Xiaoya was worried about Beiye Xuan's situation, so she had to say, "But we don't know what happened to the border now...... No, I'm going to ask the queen mother. ”
Lin Wan'er didn't want to enter the palace, she didn't like the atmosphere of the harem, so she had to let Su Xiaoya go to the harem alone.
The queen didn't expect Su Xiaoya to come over so quickly, and asked with some surprise: "This matter has only just been known to this palace for a short time, where did you hear about it?" ”
Su Xiaoya shook her head helplessly: "Don't talk about this, the queen mother, I'm just worried about the situation at the border now, I just want to know how they are now." ”
The queen sighed, she did think about whether to tell Su Xiaoya when she knew about it, but after thinking about it later, she was afraid that Su Xiaoya would worry, so she pressed this matter in her heart.
"Don't worry, at first, the emperor and the palace also thought that after the grain and grass were robbed, the army would run out of ammunition and food. But later, the prince wrote back a letter, asking the court to send grain and grass again because the prince was worried that the grain and grass would not be enough, but he planned in advance. There is nothing going on on the border now, and the army in the north is also winning battles, so don't scare yourself. The queen reluctantly pulled Su Xiaoya to sit down and let her sit beside her to comfort her.
Su Xiaoya believed that the queen would not deceive herself on these things, so she breathed a sigh of relief.
The queen was visibly relieved to see Su Xiaoya, and then she laughed: "Actually, speaking of which, this scholar really wants to go wrong, the people of Ling Guo just promised him the position of a cabinet minister, so he directly sent the map of Northern Xinjiang." ”
Su Xiaoya didn't know this, but she had always heard others say that scholars were loyal to the country, how could she believe Ling Guo's empty words now?
"This ...... How could this scholar believe Ling Guoren's words so easily? Now that they are like this between Ling Guo and Northern Xinjiang, how can Ling Guo have the ability to let him enter the cabinet? Su Xiaoya felt unbelievable that a dignified minister of Northern Xinjiang was so ignorant.
The queen sneered and said, "Then Ling Guo said that as long as Northern Xinjiang becomes a vassal state of Ling State, they can grant scholars the position of cabinet minister!" Hum! ”
The contempt and ridicule in the queen's tone were self-evident, and she looked down on the academics for such an act.
Su Xiaoya was a little embarrassed, and when she was about to say something, she suddenly remembered something: "This scholar...... Isn't it Concubine De's mother's mother's house? ”
Concubine De was locked up because of He Cairen's miscarriage, but she did not receive any substantive punishment, but it was only because the Emperor of Northern Xinjiang did not punish Concubine De for the sake of the scholars and the Zhang family.
Now that the scholar has done this kind of treason, Su Xiaoya thought to herself that this concubine might not be able to die well.
The queen nodded: "That's true...... Originally, the emperor was able to spare Concubine De for the sake of the Zhang family and the scholars, but this morning the scholars were just convicted, and even Concubine De has now been imprisoned in the prison where the Zhang family is imprisoned, so I am afraid that this time Concubine De will not be able to escape. ”
Su Xiaoya was speechless, originally Concubine De was spared because of the Zhang family, but now...... I don't know if Concubine De was dragged down by the university scholars, or if she reaped the consequences.
"It's really rare for the emperor to be ruthless, I thought the emperor would let Concubine De go this time!" Su Xiaoya felt a little funny, the emperor of Northern Xinjiang didn't say anything when He Cairen had a miscarriage, and now he has to be a concubine for a scholar.
The queen didn't want to continue to talk about this topic, she had already seen the coldness of the emperor of Northern Xinjiang, let alone Concubine De, I was afraid that no concubine would be able to occupy an important position in the heart of the emperor of Northern Xinjiang.
