Chapter 406: Yan Sui's Affair?
At this time, the people who were close also saw part of the contents of the document, and they were in an uproar.
What the? Fengbao warehouse has an underground granary?
The original assassin Shi and the people colluded to transfer the grain to the underground granary and then transferred, and after Lord Wen found out, he used the opening of the restaurant as a cover to grab some of the grain day and night!
Fengbao warehouse did not burn out, and found a more complete and advanced underground granary, in the future, the grain can be stored underground, and the people of Huzhou no longer have to bear the burden of rebuilding the granary!
What's more, if Fengbaocang retains a part of the grain, can the heavy tax be reduced a little bit this year?!
In desperation, this big red document almost wanted to open the door of heaven, and the light in everyone's eyes shone brightly, looking at Wen Zhen with a burning eye, waiting for the immortal light to descend.
"Your Highness, there is still surplus grain in Fengbao Warehouse, and the granary has not been damaged. His Majesty said, because the hands and feet of the granary and the grain that was transferred away all happened before the lower official performed his duties in Huzhou, and after the lower official arrived in Huzhou, he immediately discovered the problem of Fengbao Cang in his busy schedule and grabbed back part of the military rations in time, not only no fault, but also meritorious, and ordered His Royal Highness to preside over the commendation of the lower officials......"
Before Wen Zhen finished speaking, Yan Jue's nose was already crooked.
What a mess!
"Let this king reward you, dream!" He roared, "What underground granary, what snatched out the grain?" What nonsense! How did this king not know! So much food, how to grab it in broad daylight! Where can you put it if you grab it! Full of nonsense! This king personally sent the witness to Beijing! What's that called, Xu Cheng or something! I saw Feng Baojian commit suicide with my own eyes and accuse your ......"
Before he finished speaking, the people brought by Mao Wancheng suddenly got out of the way, and a few people came out of it, one of them bowed to him first, and said: "Your Highness, the lower official is not called Xu Cheng, but Chen Cheng, the lower official did accuse you of assassinating Lord Shi for forcing the Cang Supervisor, which caused Fengbao Cang to catch fire, and indeed you had to go to Beijing to accuse Lord Assassin Shi, and even met Cangbu Langzhong on the road to accompany him, and now Xia Guan is in a hurry, and he has just rushed back from Tianjing." ”
Yan Juexi said: "Great, that Wen Zhen Fangcai's document must have been forged, but you brought your father's will to Wen Zhen, read it quickly......"
Before he finished speaking, he saw Chen Cheng turn around, bow to Wen Zhen, and say apologetically: "Lord Assassin Shi, the previous official did not know the detailed reason, and he rashly accused, which is really reckless and ignorant. Now that the lower officials have made a mistake, please forgive me. ”
Yan Jue: "......"
The expression on his face was really indescribable, the people on Wen Zhen's side didn't look at him at a glance, and the people looked at him desperately, but whether they looked at him or not, they were all whipping him down like a whip at the moment.
"Well said." Wen Zhen said with a smile, "I think several of your colleagues have already arrived in Beijing safely." She glanced up and down at the official, thinking that she had received a hint from Mao Wanqian before, knowing that the DPRK had sent someone to come, the commendation order had been issued, and someone had been sent, so she must have something else to say, so she smiled and asked, "You are back in Huzhou, do you still have affairs?" ”
Chen Cheng said: "My lord sees it. Your Majesty still has a decree to give His Royal Highness, and he originally wanted to order the herald's father-in-law to come. Xia Guan felt that he couldn't live with the adults, and wanted to apologize in person, and the Huzhou underground granary had not been seen with his own eyes, and he also wanted to observe it, so he automatically asked for it......" He took out a document from his sleeve and took a look, this letter is about the Fengbao warehouse fire Feng Bao Prison committed suicide and the handling of the warehouse director was burned to death, the meaning of the court, the rewards and punishments should be clear, this matter Huzhou Thorn History has handed over the evidence of someone deliberately setting fire, and the evidence of Feng Bao Prison and people, but after all, there is a responsibility for negligence, and the reward is rewarded, but this matter is fined for half a year, However, Chen Cheng was reluctant to mention this matter in front of King Ding at the moment, so he took back this document from his sleeve, took out another letter, and said, "So that your lord will know that the report you submitted to the imperial court before is about the total amount of taxes in Huzhou this year......
As soon as he said this, the people's eyes burned and their ears pricked up.
Wen Zhen took it, glanced at it, smiled, and said, "The official's excerpt, the court has approved it." He raised his voice and reported a number.
Everyone listened, a little sluggish for a while, and after a while, there was a thunderous cheer.
Immediately, there were many people, ignoring the dirty and scorched ash on the ground, kneeling down and kowtowing to Wen Zhen, one person knelt and hundreds of people knelt, and instantly the black pressure knelt a piece, and the head fell to the ground with a sound, solid and sincere.
I can't help but knock it, I have been beaten into a hell of despair by His Royal Highness the four times the tax, but now I heard that the adults have reported to the imperial court in advance for approval of the reduction, and the final quota is half less than in previous years!
This is simply a big surprise, if it weren't for knowing that Wen Zhen acted reliably, the people would hardly believe it, countless people kowtowed while chanting the Ten Thousand Family Buddha, hot tears and burnt ash mixed together, and when they raised their heads again, their faces were full of black ditches, but they were still smiling.
Wen Zhen hurriedly picked up the old men at the front one by one, she had a faint apology and guilt in her heart, Huzhou's taxes could have been lower, but because Yan Jue was against her old feud, and her own grievances were too complicated, she failed to reach her ideal number after all, to some extent, the people of Huzhou were affected by her, and she also used the people to squeeze Yan Jue and let herself get out, thinking about it carefully, the people are really the most satisfying and tolerant people.
Of course, it is still thanks to His Royal Highness King Ding, who has infinitely lowered people's expectations and raised the psychological tolerance threshold, so that the final tax amount is not low, and it still has the infinite gratitude of the people.
Wen Zhen secretly made up his mind in his heart that he would still reduce the burden on the people of Huzhou in the future. Seeing that Chen Cheng turned to Yan Jue, who had an ugly face, he said slightly apologetically, "Your Highness said before that you don't want to personally reward Lord Thorn Shi, so it's just right, Your Majesty has a will, and orders Your Highness to move to Dingzhou immediately, and supervise the three prefectures of Dinghu and Ping in the future, if there are no major matters, don't disturb the local civil affairs." ”
Yan Jue's face turned blue and pale, this meaning sounded good, but in fact, he was driven out of Huzhou, and couldn't help but snatch the emperor's will from Chen Cheng's hands, and after opening it to see, there was only one color of iron and blue left, and the will was much more unkind than what Chen Cheng said, first scolded him fiercely, about prostitutes, squeezing and stabbing history, listening to and believing, without the prince's steady bearing, etc., and then let him leave Huzhou quickly, no longer criticize Huzhou's internal affairs, stay in Dingzhou honestly, just supervise Huzhou's military movements, if there is anything wrong, took his title and returned to Tianjing as soon as possible.
Yan Jue looked at it, and his fingers gradually trembled.
He knew he was defeated.
What's worse is that when this decree was issued, today's events had not yet happened, and his father was already so dissatisfied with himself, and when today's events reached his father's ears, whether it was burning the ancestral graves of the people of Huzhou or almost stirring up a civil uprising, his father would make up his mind to summon him back to Beijing. In the end, he will not even be able to stay in Dingzhou, and return to Tianjing, becoming the fastest patrol in history to return to Beijing, and becoming a joke of the royal family and officialdom.
However, there was nothing he could do.
Wen Zhen had been waiting for him, she had never conceded defeat, and the fire of Feng Baocang, allowing him to give way to the concession of power, was just a trap set so that he could fall and make it easier for her to jump up from his back.
But he's a prince!
How dare she even play and bully the prince!
This is the real disobedience!
And his father will still be deceived by her, and he will watch his father be deceived by her.
The knuckles of Yan Jue's fingers clenching the edge of the will turned slightly white, and the bright yellow brocade was already ravaged in his palm, and suddenly a pair of hands gently took the will from his hand, gently smoothing the wrinkles of the will, and he heard Wen Zhen's hateful voice say: "Your Highness, be careful, it is a big sin to damage the holy decree." He turned his head and said with a smile, "In this case, please ask Your Highness to get out of the city as soon as possible, it just so happens that you also called the Dingzhou State Army, presumably you are also in the middle of the road at this moment, so they let them pick you up and go to Dingzhou, and Huzhou will no longer send escorts." She laughed as she folded the holy decree neatly, stuffed it into Yan Jue's arms, patted him on the chest, and said with a smile: "Your Highness, take care." ”
Just a light pat, Yan Jue staggered a step, then reached out to support the mountain stone, and looked down at Wen Zhen fiercely.
He was tall, and when he leaned over and stared at people like this, he was deep and violent, and his other hand was already pressed on the hilt of the knife at his waist.
Mao Wanyan, Pan Hang and others behind Wen Zhen all sensitively noticed his eyes and movements, and when they stepped forward, the atmosphere instantly became tense again.
Wen Zhen didn't move, looked up at Yan Jue with a smile, and winked at him.
If there's a kind of you, you do it.
The old lady also thinks that she has endured enough with you.
There was a vague and cold murderous intent flowing in the honey-like smile.
The scorched wind swept across the iron-black, cold cliffs.
I don't know how long it took, Yan Jue stretched out his hand and stuffed the will into his arms, and strode past Wen Zhen, his face gloomy and he didn't say a word.
Wherever he passed, people avoided the plague god one after another, blending respect and disgust to the point where there was no trace.
As soon as his figure turned the mountain road, the people rushed forward, and the cheers and thanks flooded Wen Zhen like a tide.
Wen Zhen breathed a sigh of relief at this time and quietly pressed his stomach.
A little uncomfortable.
She turned to look at Yan Jue's disappearing back, her brows furrowed slightly.
She remembered one thing, Chen Chengdu had already returned to Tianjing and then went to Huzhou, Jiang Xin, who was the first to take Huzhou back, why has there been no response until now? It is said that Jiang Xin should have arrived a long time ago, so the imperial court should also react to Jiang Xin's report on the crime of not driving and the incident of three assignments in a year, why has the new driver not arrived so far?
Also, Yan Jue's last performance today made her a little uneasy. Anger and violence can only be subsided when vented, and the more yin and forbearing, the more crazy it will be when it erupts again.
I hope that Yan Jue's madness will not attack too much this time.
……
Thousands of miles away, Pugan.
The morning light penetrated through the semi-circular glass coral window, casting colorful spots of light in the house, and the shark yarn was swept by the sea breeze, like a cloud flying out of the window.
Yan Sui suddenly sat up from the bed, and her long hair poured down her shoulders like water.
Chinese immediately sat up from the floor silently, "Master, another nightmare?" ”
Yan Sui did not speak.
Because it's really hard to say that it's a nightmare, how can it be said that it's a nightmare when you dream of her?
But the content of those dreams is really ...... Disturbed.
Yes, uneasy.
In the past twenty-three years, he had never tasted the word uneasy, but now he did.
I don't know why, I've been dreaming about her every night lately, dreaming of her, it's all not very good dreams, in my dreams there are often clusters of demon fires, scorching scorching sun, swords like snow, blood and water full of lakes, long halberds lined up above the blood lake, white bones in the demon fire, and she keeps walking on it.
After waking up from these dreams, it was a night of tossing and turning.
After a while, he said: "Summoning the country, send all the remaining secret guards to Huzhou." ”
Chinese agreed, but did not think so. When His Royal Highness left the East Hall, he had already arranged two secret guard teams to guard Wen Zhen in shifts every day, so he didn't have to worry about her anything, just take action at a critical time. And still counting the time, let's add two more in three months. Now all the secret guards are going to be sent, not to mention all the secret guards, the domestic information collection and transmission will be stagnant, in case there is any unfavorable movement on their side, they can't get it, the news will be transmitted back to the country at this moment, and then the remaining secret guards will go to Huzhou again, it will take two or three months, if there is really any bad omen, the daylily is also cold.
Besides, what can there be, she has already sent so many people to protect her, and Lord Wen is not alone, she is the king of Huzhou, and she has won the state army, and now there are more people who protect her than there are people who protect Her Highness.
But he still agreed, no matter what, it was His Highness's heart, and Master Wen could understand it.
He got up, stepped on the snow-white floor paved with whale bones, and touched the cool of the ground with his bare feet, so that the heat in his heart was slightly reduced, and the Chinese rolled up the yarn, facing the window, half of the sea, and the other half of the slightly higher terrain, was a large sea of brilliant flowers, the flowers bloomed extremely gorgeously, pink and purple deep red light red snow white deep purple, the flower plate held up high and upright swayed against the sun, looking pure beauty.
He is not a lover of flowers, in fact, his love in this world is also very limited, when he first came here, it was the time of the onset of illness, faint and manic are hidden under the frozen shell, several times almost hurt the people around him, but when he saw this sea of flowers, he suddenly gained a rare peace of the journey.
So he stopped, in this sea and the sea of seven-colored flowers by the sea, he often lay down for half a day, listening to the sea and the wind, and thinking about her with half a rare leisure in his life.
Think about how she fights with the sky in Huzhou, fights with the earth, fights with people, fights with everything that is destined to be endless and uncertain in fate, thinks about whether she will get tired of going all the way, think about him, think about him, think about him, forget about the tiredness, and continue to move forward with a smile in the next moment.
If he can give her the strength to move forward, it is the whole point of his hard existence.
He got up and went downstairs, and the green hillside divided the earth into two parts, one was a sea as blue as a jewel, and the other was a field of flowers as colorful as glass.
As many days before, he lay in the field of flowers in the sun, listening to the sound of the waves and playing with the little fruits that grew under the flowers.
Although the flower was gorgeous but not fragrant, he felt comfortable, so comfortable that it seemed that even thinking could be stopped.
Chinese and others would not come to disturb him, they fetched water nearby, went to the market to buy rice, and cooked by themselves, never fake the hands of the locals.
It's just that His Royal Highness always has a bad appetite, and most of the time, he barely eats a few bites with the sauce given by Lord Wen.
Chinese glanced at His Highness in the flower field from afar, and sighed leisurely in his heart.
He could feel the heavy concern in His Highness's heart, like the bones of the whale, sunk in the sea for thousands of years, no one could see it, risking death to salvage, or be able to touch the coldness of that moment.
But he couldn't go back.
The prescription has a medicine, the name is strange, called Wotai, and later when I came to Pugan, I realized that this is a transliteration of the Pugan language, which refers to the meaning of "heavenly gift".
Pugan people are sincere, saying that God's gift, that is God's gift, this medicine, it is said that it can only be obtained in the middle of summer, when the heavenly temple is opened, with immortal opportunities.
What is the immortal machine, how to get it, and where is the heavenly temple, I don't know. Whether it's the height of summer every year, I'm not sure.
It's so vague, so it's called Xianji.
If he didn't get the medicine, His Highness didn't dare to return to Lord Wen, he had seizures from time to time, and it was good to be moody when he had seizures, he often didn't recognize people or recognized people indiscriminately, he often forgot things, he was confused, he was uncontrollable in his violence and killing, and sometimes he lost his mind for a short time.
How could he allow such a self to appear on Master Wen's side, if he suddenly forgot about her, or regarded her as an enemy......
Chinese and others now wear soft armor all day long, protecting their throats and front and back hearts.
The medicine refined by the endless heaven, after Chinese took it back, once when Yan Sui had an attack, he wanted to use it secretly according to Wen Zhen's instructions, but somehow, he was actually noticed by Yan Sui, he was awake at that time, took back the medicine, and after having a nightmare about Wen Zhen for the first time, he ordered a guard to rush back to Huzhou with the medicine and send the medicine to Wen Zhen.
He also ordered the guard, if he arrived in Huzhou and saw that Wen Zhen's physical condition was not good, he didn't need to report to her, and directly gave her the medicine.
The Chinese couldn't stop it, so I had to admit it.
Now there is only one last way left, Pugan.
Chinese sighed softly.
Although His Royal Highness didn't say anything, he could also see that this aimless waiting made him a little anxious, and the Chinese saw that he was always looking in the direction of Dongtang, obviously walking all the way to Pugan, just to hurry back, but he was delayed by the broken medicine of this god and ghost.
But I hope that the temple of Na Lao Shizi will be opened soon, and the fairy machine will appear soon, no matter what the point is, our Royal Highness can always do it, this mountain and sea are far away, but people can't bear to look at it.
He picked up the basket and prepared to see what was fresh and edible in today's market, this barbarian tribe did not have a special town, nor could it be an episode every three days, and he did not use much currency, he liked to barter, and the things he sold were all kinds of strange, and the things he ate were even more terrible, what half-hatched duck eggs were not formed, what kind of boiled soft earth frogs, what stir-fried beetles......
Chinese shivered, thinking that it was fortunate that His Highness did not know those things, otherwise he would have become the first person to starve to death in the family.
But now, I should be starving to death, before practicing the art of Bigu.
So even though he knew that there was nothing to buy, he still carried a basket out for a spin every day like obsessive-compulsive disorder.
Yan Sui saw that Chinese went out with a basket, and did not pay attention to it, and when he came back, he had to ask him to take a few more baths before he could get closer, and every time he came back from the market, there was always a smell of duck feathers, frogs, and beetles.
The sun was very hot, but he could feel that from the back of his head to the spinal cord, it was slowly cooling, even if the fire was burning, it was not hot, and the line from the heart to the throat was hot, and he couldn't wait to boil all the time, and he was calm when he saw the blood and the killing.
He closed his eyes.
In the boiling heat of fire and ice, his face was calm.
……
You lie on the shore and look at the scenery, and the people who watch the scenery look at you from elsewhere.
In the distance, in the high tower, the woman stood quietly, overlooking the sea and the flowers. and people in a sea of flowers.
This piece of sea and this piece of flowers were originally hers, and the glazed whalebone hut next to the flower and the sea was also specially used by her to occasionally rest by this poppy field.
This is the Queen's private domain, and no one can break in, and those who have no intention of breaking in have made fertilizer under the flower fields.
Only the man who was basking in the sun in his sight, on a certain day, wandered through three strict lines of defense, and entered the hut that was actually full of poison as if he had entered a no-man's land, and settled down.
The commander of her guard asked if she needed to be expelled by a large army, and she stared at the people in the flower field, her eyes narrowing slightly, and she smiled.
What a beautiful man.
I used to think that the most beautiful scenery was only worthy of being enjoyed by myself, but now I understand that the most beautiful scenery is only perfect when it is matched with the most beautiful person.
It's hard to have it, how can you miss it.
……
