Chapter 81: Thinking
Yu Zaiting really didn't have any good way for a while.
What's more, his teachers don't support him.
His hard work during this period was seen by his long-term follower Changyun. Chang Yun sighed, and couldn't help but say something that was not mindful.
"Master, people say that it is good to enjoy the shade with your back against a big tree. Adults originally had a big tree for shade, but now I'm afraid it's a small tree? β
Chang Yun and Yu Zaiting followed up day by day, and the affection was unusual, but when these words came out, Yu Zaiting quickly sank his face.
"Do you think my tree is too small, and the branches are sparse and the leaves are shaking, and it can't shade you?"
Chang Yun was stunned for a moment, and fell to the ground in shock, "Master, Chang Yun doesn't dare to think like this." β
He slapped himself in the face, and said in a panic: "Master, Chang Yun followed the master, I don't know if it is a blessing from several lifetimes, Chang Yun can't speak, although the lesson is that Chang Yun doesn't dare to talk nonsense anymore." β
He hated his foul mouth, and his face soon turned red.
Yu Zaiting was annoyed, waved his hand and said: "You haven't followed me for a day or two, go down and think about it, whether you want to hang your life on two pieces of mouth." β
Chang Yun got up and hurried away, not daring to bother his own adults.
Yu Zaiting leaned on the big chair in the study, thinking of Wang Xiang and the little emperor, there was a fog in his eyes, which would not disperse for a long time.
Let's talk about Xiao Tilt here.
There has been no progress in the matter of sacrificing martial souls, Wang Ming's coffin and the ashes of countless generals are still waiting to be placed, but Xiao Tian found that except for those generals in the court who followed her south, there were very few others who supported her.
It's really a big head.
What she said to Yu Zaiting before showed her attitude. She's a pragmatist. If the old diehards were adamantly opposed, and the treasury really couldn't guarantee the cost of the solemn ceremony, she really felt that it would be more appropriate to fight for some real benefit for the surviving generals and their families.
There's no way, the strength is limited.
At this time, Xiao Tian was told that in order to celebrate the safe return of these people from the territory of the Northern Barbarians, the palace should prepare a palace banquet to wash the dust for them.
This is understandable, it's just that Xiao Tian originally wanted to wait for Taifu to come back and do it together.
But these people obviously didn't want to wait that longβespecially the clansmen who were used to being pampered.
Xiao Tian sometimes feels strange.
What kind of life were these people living before they were not detained by the Beiban and placed under house arrest?
She felt that the way these people thought about problems was very different from that of Taifu, Wang Xiang and others. Even if it is compared with Xiao Chongle, who is also a clan relative, it is not quite the same.
For example, now, when they first arrived in Nanhua City, have they arranged food, clothing, housing, transportation, etc.? Why do you think about such a thing as a banquet for the clan and the ministers?
Ever since Wang Xiang said that the treasury was empty, Xiao Tian had a great sense of urgency. This banquet costs a lot of money, right? Isn't it too wasteful to be able to get in and out?
I thought so, but when Xiao asked Wang Xiang, he still got a positive suggestion.
The palace banquet still has to be held. This is the face of the emperor and the face of Da Xiao.
Not only the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are watching, but everyone in the world is watching, and the Beiban is also watching...... Let's go, let's go.
Anyway, in the end, the matter was settled, and the time was two days later in the evening.
In two days, can Taifu come back?
She was so engrossed that she didn't even see when Zhao Youchen came in.
Zhao Youchen brought her news from the palace prison.
Mei Shu is sick.
"What disease?"
"I haven't seen it exactly, but Mei Changshi has been in a bad mood these days, he doesn't eat much, and he doesn't sleep well. According to the guards, Mei often looked at the skylight above, not knowing what he was thinking. β
What else can you think.
The palace prison is no better than the outside, and the inside is full of prisoners. In this era, if a prisoner is sick, he is left to fend for himself in prison, and there is never a doctor to see him.
Xiao Qian thought about it, but asked about another thing. "Is there any news from Taifu?"
Zhao Youchen shook his head.
Although Taifu is also returning to the south, his whereabouts seem to have become a mystery.
Zhao Youchen felt pity for Xiao Tian in his heart, thought about it, and then said: "Your Majesty, Taifu did not contact Weichen, there must be various reasons for inconvenient contact. So far, it seems that there is no bad news, which is good news. β
Xiao Tian nodded.
Otherwise, let's find a way to meet Li Qinghe again.
"Mei Changshi, you take a good look at it. Since he was sick, I asked Mingxiu to go for a while. She paused, "Or General Zhao will send someone to take Mingxiu there." β
Zhao Youchen agreed, and listened to Xiao Tian talk about some things about sacrificing martial spirits, and he couldn't come up with any ideas for a while, so he could only verbally comfort the little emperor's heart.
After Zhao Youchen left, Xiao Qian remembered that the piece of jade she was going to give him hadn't been taken out yet.
She took out the piece of jade, thought of her recent situation, and silently put the jade away.
When she and Zhao Youchen are not so busy, she must find a good place with a beautiful scenery in the small garden, and then solemnly hand it over to him.
All sorts of things were tangled in her head, and she finally had to reach out and rub her temples to empty her head.
The most immediate thing is the palace banquet.
Perhaps, there will be an opportunity to solve the problem at the palace banquet?
Talking about things at the wine table, will it be smoother? Xiao Tian thought about it and felt optimistic again.
Wang Xiang was talking about the palace banquet, and when he returned to the mansion when the arrangements were almost made, Mr. Sun was already waiting at the gate of the mansion.
Wang Xiang raised his eyebrows, and after approaching, he asked in a low voice, "Mr. Sun, what is the matter?" β
Mr. Sun followed him into the mansion, and whispered as he walked, "There's news over there." β
Wang Xiang's footsteps paused, and when he walked further, his pace slowed down significantly. "When's the news?"
Mr. Sun said, "Just arrived." β
"How?" While talking, the two had already entered the study.
Mr. Sun smiled slightly. "As adults expected, it's exactly the same."
Wang Xiang didn't have a too obvious expression like Mr. Sun, but the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned.
"Exactly?"
"At this time, I believe that I can't go wrong."
Mr. Sun looked at Wang Xiang's expression and said, "However, there is also something unusual. β
"What?"
"He doesn't take the main roads, but looks for sparsely populated paths, which, although they seem closer than the main roads, are obviously more prone to danger. Adults think, why is that? β
Wang Xiang's fingers tapped on the table, and only after a long time did he say, "It doesn't matter what he thinks. It's the results that matter. β
"That's what my lord said."
"In two days, it will be a palace banquet. This news will be released at the palace banquet. β
