Chapter 350
After Chu Li ascended the throne, Chang'an City, which was originally chaotic, gradually quieted down, and the people did not have to worry as before.
Chu Li still has a lot to do, because of the civil strife for several months, large and small affairs are piled up, Chu Li is so busy that he loses his hair every day, and Wu Quan asked the imperial dining room to make more medicinal food for hair growth.
The king of Qin had already led his troops to Yuecheng, and he was bound to recapture Yuecheng, and the two sides were fighting each other, and there was no plan for peace negotiations on the southern Xinjiang side.
Although Shen Yuan was named the national teacher of the Ming Dynasty, he actually did not have any real power, and the Ming Dynasty did not treat the national teacher as a god like in southern Xinjiang. However, just having the name of the national teacher is a height that the ministers cannot reach.
Chu Li even gave Shen Yuan, including him, the right not to salute anyone, as well as the privilege of being able to enter and leave the palace freely.
If it weren't for Shen Yuan's refusal, the plaque of the Marquis of Zhongyi's Mansion would have been replaced with the National Teacher's Mansion, and it would have been expanded several times.
However, just when Shen Yuan became a high-profile existence, there was good news from the side of Moon City.
The king of southern Xinjiang drove the expedition in person, since the loss of Yuecheng, he was connected to three cities, the king of Qin was seriously injured, and retreated to Yuxia Pass after the defeat.
And the person who seriously injured the King of Qin was a general under the King of Southern Xinjiang.
The letter about that person came back from the front line said that the person was Wei Yan, the son of the King of Qin of the Ming Dynasty, who defected to the king of Southern Xinjiang and beheaded hundreds of soldiers of the Ming Dynasty on the battlefield.
When Shen Yuan heard the news, the tea cup in his hand was knocked over, and the tea spilled on the table, slowly dyeing dark imprints on the spread map of southern Xinjiang.
"The princess ......" Ah Zhe has been by Shen Yuan's side for a year, and it is the first time he has seen Shen Yuan panic like this, her whole body is trembling, and her peach blossom eyes are full of fear.
"You go out, I'll just calm down." Shen Yuan closed his eyes and said to Ah Zhe.
Ah Zhe would not comfort people, so he could only withdraw and wait for Shen Yuan's next order.
Many pictures flashed in front of Shen Yuan's eyes, the palace of Southern Xinjiang, the blood pool, Wei Yan, and the battlefield......
It seemed that Wei Yan's desperate roar in the pool of blood could still be heard in his ears, and Shen Yuan's heart was trembling, and his chest was tearing like pain.
Shen Yuan wanted to pour himself a cup of tea, but his hands trembled so much that he couldn't pick up anything.
Shen Yuan opened her mouth and bit the back of her hand, and soon tasted the smell of blood, she told herself to calm down, she couldn't collapse at this time, Wei Yan was still waiting for her......
She and Wei Yan made an appointment, and they must meet.
Even if the two-month deadline has long passed.
The pot-bellied porcelain vase placed next to the table has been stuffed with a picture scroll, and all the paintings are from Shen Yuan's hand, and the content of the picture scroll will always be only Wei Yan alone.
In the days of separation from Wei Yan, only these picture scrolls accompanied Shen Yuan for a long time.
……
The Ming army was defeated, and Wei Li's daily troubles were one more thing, he had plans to drive the expedition in person, but those old ministers did not agree.
After all, Chang'an City, which has finally settled down, if something happens to Wei Li on the battlefield, then Chang'an City will have another round of wind and rain.
The grain and grass on the front line could not be cut off, and Wei Li assigned a transshipment envoy to transport the grain and grass to Yuxia Pass, and set off soon.
And the assigned transfer envoy, coincidentally, is the son of the Ministry of Rites, Zhao Xian.
Although Zhao Xian's private life is a little chaotic, he gives people the impression that he is unruly and dashing, but he is extremely careful in officialdom, and people can't make mistakes.
During the battle between Wei Sheng and Wei Li for the heir, even Zhao Xian and his father's Shangshu were affected by a few points, and he almost nodded his head and hatted it. But Zhao Xian was still able to mix well in the court, and finally came out unharmed.
Now Chang'an City is talking everywhere about the war in southern Xinjiang and the rebellion of the prince of Qin, but the emperor did not speak to deal with the palace of the king of Qin, and no one dared to say loudly that the prince of Qin was a traitor, so he could only talk in a whisper.
Perhaps everyone hopes that the prince of Qin has already died on the battlefield, and they are even more reluctant to believe that he is the general under the king of southern Xinjiang.
After knowing that Zhao Xian was appointed as a transfer envoy, Shen Yuan personally went to the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Rites.
It's just that Zhao Xian hasn't come back yet, so Shen Yuan stood at the door of the mansion and waited, and he didn't mean to go in, and the subordinates of the Zhao Mansion looked embarrassed.
The face of the young master of their family is really big enough, and he actually made the national teacher wait.
Zhao Xian hurriedly came back from outside, and the smell of wine on his body had not yet dissipated, "Sister Kite...... Phew, why didn't the princess go in and wait, it's windy outside, are your injuries better? ”
Zhao Xian took Shen Yuan in, and shook the peacock feather fan in his hand, wanting to disperse the rich wine on his body as soon as possible, for fear of smoking Shen Yuan.
But this winter has just passed, and Zhao Xian made himself tremble.
"Brother Zhao Xian just called me like before, you and the prince are like brothers, and you should call me a sister." Shen Yuan and Zhao Xian smiled politely.
Zhao Xian sat down boldly and said with a smile: "Sister Kite has learned to play official with me now." ”
Shen Yuan was silent, she really came to ask Zhao Xian for a favor this time.
"Don't be so deliberate, although we haven't seen each other for a long time, but we have known each other for so many years, I still watched you get married, and on the day you married the son, I offered half of the small treasury to you as a gift. If you have anything, just say it, as long as I can do it, I will help you. Zhao Xian could vaguely guess in his heart that Shen Yuan's purpose for coming to her must be to involve Wei Yan, and now the matter about Wei Yan is really tricky, and it can be said that whoever is contaminated is unlucky.
Zhao Xian has been hiding clumsy, and even the scientific research back then was rubbed on the side, and finally found a sesame official who didn't do much to do, just to give himself less trouble.
But he never took Wei Yan's matter as a trouble, and this transfer envoy was also the first time he took the initiative to fight for it.
Shen Yuan replaced the wine with tea, toasted Zhao Xian, and said, "I do have something to trouble Brother Zhao Xian once." ”
"I want to go to Yuxia Pass with the team transporting grain and grass." Shen Yuan's expression was firm, "I'm going to go to Southern Xinjiang to pick up Wei Yan back." ”
Zhao Xian's peacock feather fan, which had been fanning, stopped, and his face became a little serious, "Sister, it's okay to go to Yuxia Pass, as long as I still have a breath, I will definitely protect you safe and sound." But entering southern Xinjiang is not an easy matter......"
"I know, that's why I found Brother Zhao Xian." Shen Yuan's eyes were well understood, and she was not so bold, "I want to use grain and grass as a guide to attract people from southern Xinjiang to come and pick me up in person." Therefore, Brother Zhao Xian has to nod his head in this matter, and cooperate with me, I will use the head of the item to guarantee that I will never lose a pound or a tael of grain and grass, let alone delay the delivery time.
