Chapter 263: Asking for help
Han Yunxiao is in Gancheng at the moment!
There is a war ahead, if there is no food and grass, what will these soldiers do?!
Qin Xiang clenched his fists, even if he tried his best to hide it, his face still inevitably showed a little worry.
The prince squinted, shook his head and sighed: "The miscellaneous family came to Mrs. Qin for help this time because of the grain and grass. Since the beginning of autumn, His Majesty has suffered from coughing disease, and he has begun to cough up blood in the past few days, the imperial doctor said...... His Majesty has not yet set up a crown prince, and the princes are competing fiercely. I don't know who made the stupid move, saying that he wanted to make peace with Sidi, so he was not allowed to win the battle at the front, so as to surrender to Sidi. ”
Qin Xiang lightly raised his red lips, "Idiot, if you really make this move, I'm afraid that Xiyan will be ruined." ”
Since she came to Xiyan, she has also learned a little about the history of the country. Although Xiyan and Sidi have similar names, they are incompatible. Either the east wind overpowers the west wind, or you die.
Even in the years when General Huwei was victorious, he was at war with Sidi. Sidi has always been eyeing the land of Xiyan, and they are greedy for the fertile land of Xiyan, intending to encroach on Xiyan and enslave the people of Xiyan.
Under such circumstances, there are still people who can put forward a decision to negotiate peace, and I am afraid that it is not a sign of the destruction of the country.
In all dynasties, it was a helpless move to negotiate peace. Throughout the modern history of China, how many times have it been because of the negotiation of peace, which caused the enemy country to invade on a large scale until it lost the country. The struggle of our ancestors tells us that we must not be weak in the face of aggression, otherwise we will become slaves.
"Someone seized the grain and grass sent to Gancheng, and the miscellaneous family sent people several times, but there was no progress. I'm afraid that if there are too many times, I will make the other party angry, and there will be a bigger mess. ”
Qin Xiang glanced at him and asked, "You didn't inform Your Majesty about this?" ”
The prince smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty's body is not as good as day by day, if your Majesty's illness is really delayed because of grain and grass, the miscellaneous family will be sinners for the ages." Besides, with the support of His Majesty in the court, no matter how long those people stretched out, they didn't dare to be too arrogant. Once something really happens to His Majesty, the situation will be out of control. ”
Qin Xiang pursed his lips and fell into deep thought.
The last time she saw the emperor in the palace, her face didn't look like a long-term illness, why did her condition suddenly take a turn for the worse? Qin Xiang always felt that there was something she ignored, but she couldn't figure it out.
Wang Gonggong's eyes flashed slightly, and he asked: "I don't know if Mrs. Qin can help the miscellaneous family once, and in the name of the Qin family, secretly send grain and grass to Gancheng." ”
"This ......" Qin Xiang was just puzzled, although she was running a shop, she had no experience in running a business, so how could the prince ask for it.
"Because Mrs. Qin is the only one, she has nothing to do with this matter, and she will not arouse the suspicion of others. Madam, please rest assured, the relationship between you and General Han is well hidden, and the outside world knows nothing about it. ”
The subtext is, you can go with confidence.
Qin Xiang was worried about Han Yunxiao, Gancheng was bound to go. However, it will not be as expected by the princes, on behalf of the imperial court to escort grain and grass.
She believed in Han Yunxiao, and she was willing to quietly send grain and grass. But on this premise, she is still a businessman. Businessmen are unprofitable and never make unprofitable trades. In this case, if there is nothing good to take, the next time the princess has something to entrust her, I am afraid that she will not be so 'low-voiced'.
Qin Xiang was worried that the use of her would become ordinary, so she would really become a chess piece in the other party's hands.
Therefore, she gathered her thoughts and raised a smile, "Since it is as the prince said, it must be extremely difficult to go to Gancheng. ”
Wang Gonggong thought that she was worried about her safety, and hurriedly explained: "There are guards along the way, and I will definitely not let my wife suffer any accidents." ”
But seeing Qin Xiang shook his head, his expression was even a little sarcastic, "I know that the prince is a good person for the country and the people. ”
The princess's face turned red when he said this, so he heard her say again: "The road must be difficult and dangerous, I am just worried, I am going to transport grain and grass to Gancheng, if someone intercepts and kills me on the way......
As she spoke, she looked at the princess: "You might as well give me a word of accuracy, whether you are here yourself, or whether Your Majesty sent you." Or, how many people know about it? I'm not afraid to tell you what I think, I'm not a very wise person, but I'm also unwilling to suffer. If someone sees me as a bully, they will bully me to the death, and I will not follow it. ”
The prince was in his heart for a while, and said secretly: Fortunately, neither he nor His Majesty had the idea of using power to force them, otherwise something would really happen.
After Qin Xiang finished speaking, he was not in a hurry, but just looked at the prince with a smile.
The prince weighed the pros and cons, and finally decided to give Qin Xiang a deal.
"Madame is very talented, so I know that I can't hide this from you."
Qin Xing used the action of drinking tea to hide the look on his face. Just now, she deceived the princess, but she didn't expect it to happen.
Although the prince is a close attendant of the Son of Heaven, he has no real power. Where did you get such a big power to interfere in the affairs of food and grass? Therefore, Qin Xiang boldly guessed that there must be someone behind the plot of everything, and this person's status is very high.
Combined with what the prince said before, the emperor was seriously ill, Qin Xiang boldly assumed. Looking at it now, her luck is still very good.
"Your Majesty has set up a bureau to get out all those who are restless. His Majesty said that he was old, and he did not know how long he could stay in this position, and that he had to pave the way for the future crown prince, lest someone jump out as soon as he sat on the throne. ”
"Princess." Qin Xiang interrupted him unhurriedly, "I'm not curious about who will be the emperor, you don't have to put these royal secrets into account." All I know is that the more secrets you know, the more dangerous they become. ”
The more secret ways, the more dangerous they become? Wang Gonggong chewed this sentence in his heart, and had to admit that what Qin Xiang said was too right. He has been in the palace for so many years, and he has seen a lot, and he knows a lot of secrets. He always can't sleep well at night, and he has to be careful during the day, lest he accidentally leak something, and then cause death, which is the way to survive. In the palace, you have to don't look at it and don't talk about it.
"That's what Mrs. Qin said." The prince was fair, and his expression was a little more serious. "Entrusting Mrs. to deliver grain and grass is indeed a helpless move, and we have also considered Madame's safety, so you don't have to worry about this. Except for me and Your Majesty, no one knows the identity of Madame. Just ......"
"It's just that Your Majesty wants to use me as bait to catch out the people who are behind the scenes to shoot at the grain and grass?"
The princess's eyes widened and he nodded in disbelief, "Yes." ”
"In that case, let's talk about the benefits. As I said earlier, I'm a businessman. The prince of the Qin Xiang Dynasty smiled and calculated unceremoniously. Your Majesty wants to use me to fish, and you can't give me no benefit. You know, I gave the oil refining method at the beginning, but I got into a lot of trouble for myself. Even if my husband was a general, there was no law that required the general's relatives to go to the battlefield. ”
It's true, but it's ...... Isn't it natural for a wife to save her husband from danger?
The prince can't understand Qin Xiang now. He thought that she and Han Yunxiao had a deep relationship, but now it is not the same thing.
He sighed slightly in his heart, now His Majesty's calculations are about to fail.
The prince forgot to hide his expression, and was being looked at by Qin Xiang, who had been secretly observing him.
Qin Xiang's face remained unchanged, and the irritability in his heart was about to break through the sky.
No wonder Han Yunxiao said that the old emperor is not a good thing, he is a dog! Anyway, in the eyes of these ancients, women are like clothes. If she really died on the way to escort grain and grass, she could still let Han Yunxiao clear the obstacles for him. The old emperor gave another princess and took the opportunity to win over. Oh, think beautifully.
If you really kill me, the first person my husband will slaughter will be you!
When it came to oil refining, Han Yunxiao also said that the emperor was stingy, so what was the use of giving it to a county lord who couldn't eat it. It's really useless, this is a cannon fodder that can be on top at any time!
Qin Xiang had 10,000 swear words in his heart to greet the emperor's whole family, but she endured them all stubbornly.
"That'...... Let's wait for the miscellaneous family to go back and discuss it with Your Majesty. ”
The prince really can't be the master of this matter.
Qin Xiang didn't stop him, but casually mentioned it when he sent the prince to the door: "But if Your Majesty decides to let me go to Gancheng, I can't leave for the time being." I have some trouble to deal with here, and it is a matter of life and fortune, so I have to be careful. ”
The prince got into the carriage and pulled down with a smiling face.
"Go, check who is going against Qin Xiang recently."
When the prince entered the palace, the news just happened.
"The Chen family?" Quickly finding out a person's name in his mind, Wang Gonggong snorted coldly: "The Chen family is really not afraid of death. ”
When she sent a golden lady to the palace, she provoked Qin Xiang, and finally ended up dead. Now that the Chen family is dead, they are rushing to send people to their heads here. Since there is something about Jin Niangniang, you should always know that Qin Xiang is the person your majesty wants to protect.
"The Chen family's family business has only been around for a few years, and it looks like it is about to be ruined by these unscrupulous descendants."
"The father-in-law is angry, and the slave and maid will send someone to solve the Chen family."
Wang Gonggong's eyes rolled, and he thought about it: "This matter is related to the county lord's mother, you must do it properly, don't let the Chen family get involved with the county lord's mother." ”
"The little ones understand, and they must know the fate of offending people."
"Alright, let's go." Only then did the prince turn around and enter the emperor's bedroom.
The dormitory was filled with the smell of medicine that lasted for a long time, so that those who had not yet approached the dormitory knew that the people inside must be seriously ill.
"Your Majesty."
"Is it done?" Compared to the emperor's sallow face, it is his neutral timbre.
"This ......"
"Didn't make it?" The emperor raised his eyebrows and pretended to be funny: "Then the Qin family doesn't agree?" ”
"The county lord wants to negotiate the conditions with us, and when the conditions are enough, I will go."
The emperor looked surprised, and said as if he was emotional: "No wonder some people say that husband and wife are originally birds of the same forest, and they fly separately when disaster comes." ”
The prince's forehead was on the ground, and he didn't dare to get up, so he naturally didn't know what the expression on the emperor's face was.
"Get up, I don't blame you. Tell me what I should do her. A county lord has been sealed, does she still want to be a princess? ”
The prince thought about it for a while, and said cautiously: "According to the slaves, the county lord is a businessman, and she doesn't care about these false names, but more about reality. ”
After hearing this, the emperor was stunned for a long time before laughing: "In this way, it is interesting. ”
