Chapter 55: Not worth mentioning
A gust of wind blew the snow particles, and the people on the road wrapped their clothes tightly, and Jiang Yin lifted his hood and raised his face to meet the wind and snow.
"It's home." He said, taking a deep breath and looking at the city faintly visible in the wind and snow in front of him, "It's been a long, long time since I left home. ”
The attendant next to him tightened his cloak: "It's not even three months." ”
When they went, they walked slowly, and this return trip only took them half a month.
Jiang Yan stretched out his hand to grab the wind and snow: "From autumn to winter, isn't it still long?" ”
The entourage smiled and stopped refuting him, turned his head and saw Liu Fan, who was sitting in the car, also climbed out and took off his hat to blow the wind, and hurriedly shouted: "Mr. Liu, you are going to die, but you can't get cold." ”
Liu Fan is a person who does what he says, he still pretends to be sick when he goes out of Linzhou, his face is always yellow, his body smells, he insists on lying in the car, and he is not afraid of bumps and is really dying.
He felt the cold wind with a yellow face, ignoring the playful laughter of this attendant: "The snow is so early this winter, it will be very cold." ”
Jiang smiled secretly and said yes, yes, the team did not stop talking, although there was wind and snow, there were still pedestrians coming and going on the road, and there were busy farmers in the fields, pulling pieces of wheat grass to cover the green crops that had just emerged.
"People can get cold, but they can't."
"Hey, people can't be cold, I can see that your family has received a cart of grass to repair the house, and there are many of your families in our village."
"Isn't your eyes right? My family didn't take much! ”
The busy farmers in the fields did not talk and laugh in their mouths, but they were not all so kind, and some women scolded loudly at the top of their voices, scolding nothing more than whose family occupied her more land, and wanted to go to the village chief and sue the official.
There are mules and horses on the road, there are women in cars and children on their backs, you call me to let go, I call you to watch the road, noisy and noisy, but when you see their team of soldiers and horses coming, and then see the banners of Chu and Zhenwu Army in it, no matter who they are, they immediately avoid the roadside.
In troubled times, military law comes first, and those who dare to disturb the march will be severely punished.
This is one of the rules that both men and women, young and old, rich families, and beggars know under the rule of Mrs. Chu, and the cities and villages will post notices, and the servants will continue to repeat the preaching, and they will often see people who have violated the rules and regulations and have been arrested for labor or expelled.
Mrs. Chu is kind, and there are kitchens in the cities and towns under her rule, so that people who enter here can always have a bite to eat, but Mrs. Chu is also a person with a bad temper.
She likes a good reputation, likes everyone to praise her and respect her, likes everyone to listen to her and obey her, so once someone doesn't listen to her, she will get angry and lose her temper, beat people, and kill people.
The roadside was noisy and noisy, the road was narrow and crowded, but the line was unimpeded without the slightest stagnation.
Liu Fan took a deep breath of the cold wind and snow, this is the taste of living and working in peace and contentment.
Liu Fan pretended to be sick to the end, went straight to the capital, and didn't get up when he arrived at the palace, Li Minglou got the news and came to see him in person.
"It's not a big deal, it's just that the water and soil are not tired and tired." Liu Fan said with a yellow face and half-closed eyes, and said in a hoarse voice, "Linzhou will not be able to return to Beijing for a while, I am afraid that my wife and others will be anxious, so I dare not fall ill in Linzhou, so I will come back with this breath to say goodbye." ”
Li Minglou said: "Mr. Liu is as cautious as the beginning, and he has worked hard. ”
Since he came back with a sigh of relief, she asked in detail, what orders did His Majesty have, what arrangements did the court have, and they could help Yunyun.
Liu Fan also replied in detail in one breath, needless to say, there is no need to talk about the things on the way, when he entered Linzhou to see the emperor, how the emperor praised and felt nostalgic, how the court celebrated, and what difficulties were there in returning to Beijing.
"The difficulties are not small, but there are not many difficulties, just one thing, how to stabilize Linzhou and the people."
"It's too difficult to travel, especially now, Ankang Mountain occupies Hedong Road, like a knife across the road from Linzhou to the capital."
"As for helping, Madame's guarding the capital is the biggest thing."
Li Minglou said: "Then let's wait for Your Majesty and the imperial court to arrange." Mr. Liu, take good care of your body, and then I will send others to the capital to listen to the instructions. ”
Liu Fan said: "Madam, no need, I left people over there to listen to the orders of the imperial court, if there is anything, they will convey it back, the imperial court is very busy now, and it will disturb them if they send someone again, besides, those old men are still in Linzhou, they are more familiar with the capital than us, and it is very convenient for the imperial court to ask them if there is anything." ”
Since he said this, Li Minglou nodded: "Mr. Liu has arranged it, so I don't have to worry about it." ”
Li Minglou asked the two doctors to watch from here and left with people.
Although Liu Fan is pretending to be sick, it is almost like a real illness, bumpy all the way, he is a scholar and literati in the end, he has taken medicine and fell asleep, I don't know how long he slept, first he heard someone knocking on wood, and then someone wiped his face hard......
Liu Fan opened his eyes and saw Jiang Liang's wrinkled old face and the hand he had placed on his face.
"You can't wipe this thing off your face." Jiang Liang said, rubbing his hand twice more and holding it up in front of his eyes, "You kid still has this skill." ”
Liu Fan ignored him and closed his eyes, but he couldn't sleep anymore, Jiang Liang poked him.
"But your coffin isn't good."
"Do you want me to make you a good one again?"
Liu Fan glared at him: "Find it for yourself first, you can use it before me." ”
Jiang Liang laughed and twisted his sparse beard: "I won't, I'm not like you, I will ask for hardship." ”
This is about him going to Linzhou, Liu Fan closed his eyes and ignored him, but Jiang Liang refused to let him go and poked him again.
"Don't sleep, you've been asleep for two days, tell me, how is Linzhou?"
Liu Fan closed his eyes and said: "Didn't I say it, Linzhou is very good, and the return to Beijing is being arranged." ”
Jiang Liang smiled: "You are not me, don't learn from me to lie, Linzhou is so good, why do you want to run back alive, and don't let Mrs. send someone again." ”
Liu Fan opened his eyes, looked through Jiang Liang to look outside, and the hands in the quilt were clenched tightly.
Because, the emperor is cowardly, and the arrangement of returning to Beijing needs to be arranged, but he wants to give an order.
Because, Cui Zheng is the hegemon, what the emperor wants to do, and what the court wants to do, it is up to him to decide.
Because, the generals' tricks, Xiang Yun's hidden selfishness, Li Mingyu's arrogance as a young man, and Zhang An's Wang Lin Yaowu did not show his prestige, what they wanted was not to calm the chaos and calm the people, but to seize power and be greedy.
Because, the court is empty, and the officials are doing nothing, thinking about the past and imagining the future, but they don't look at the present.
Because, the world is domineering, living at the foot of the world, taking advantage of the chaos to accumulate slaves, infringing on rights, seeking huge profits, and lawlessness.
Because, the people over there are obviously alive, but they don't want to live well, and they won't live well.
Liu Fan will slowly talk about what he saw and heard in Linzhou.
Jiang Liang put away his smile and asked, "Then you mean that you can't let the imperial court and Your Majesty return to Beijing now?" ”
Liu Fan said: "Let them return to Beijing now, it will cause chaos in the capital, and the thieves will not be peaceful, and the capital will inevitably be in danger." ”
The emperor returned to Beijing, the court was in power, the family was rampant, and the laws and regulations of the lady of Chu were bound to disappear, even if there were hundreds of thousands of soldiers at that time, if Ankang Mountain came to attack, the capital was very likely to fall into chaos, chaos from the inside.
Taiyuan Mansion is an example.
"I will give advice to Madame, and then I will personally dissuade Your Majesty."
Jiang Liang said: "You gave up half your life to go to Linzhou, so you understand this?" ”
Liu Fan looked at him, what did he mean?
Jiang Liang smiled: "I don't go to Linzhou, I know it." ”
Liu Fan ignored his braggadocio and fell asleep to recuperate.
Jiang Liang poked again and found that he couldn't wake up, Liu Fan really slept this time.
Jiang Liang didn't bother him anymore, got up and walked out, standing under the corridor and distracted, I didn't expect Mrs. to say don't worry, it turned out to be really don't worry, look at Liu Fan who went this trip, ran back in advance, and changed his mind not to let His Majesty return to Beijing.
However, Madame said that His Majesty also knew, and he always felt that Madame had other arrangements, but he couldn't think of what it meant.....
He came to Mrs. Chu Guo to report Liu Fan's affairs, and as soon as he walked in front of the Begonia Palace, he heard the sound of a teacup breaking inside.
"Too much deception!"
Yuanji's voice sounded angry.
Jiang Liang stopped his feet and asked the guard in front of the palace gate: "Is there something wrong with Madame?" ”
The guard didn't hide it from him, and lowered his voice: "There was just news from Linzhou. ”
That doesn't seem like good news! Jiang Liang looked at the Begonia Palace, it was the first time he had heard Yuan Ji make such a big fire in front of his wife.
......
.......
There were not many people sitting in the Begonia Palace, but in the face of the angry Yuanji, everyone did not get up to persuade them.
"Miss fought hard to lay down the capital." Yuanji paced back and forth indoors, "They haven't come back yet, so they have to drive the young lady away first." ”
Jiang Ming frowned: "I really didn't expect that the imperial court would have such an idea." ”
Fang Er said: "That Xiang Yunlai's intention is very clear, he is here to replace Miss." ”
Li Minglou looked at the urgent letter placed in front of the case, and as soon as Jiang Dian came back, he told her that the imperial court had not decided when to return to Beijing, but asked Xiang Yun to come to the capital first, and as for what to do, he couldn't find out at that time.
Just now, Li Mingyu sent new news from Linzhou Feigeon urgent letter, Xiang Yun set off, went very secretively, and claimed to be exploring the way internally, Xiang Yun kept it secret to the extreme, Li Mingyu tried his best and did not find out his true purpose, but at the same time as Xiang Yun set off, Cui Zheng wrote a letter to Han Xu in Shannan Province.
Han Xu's side is his home, Zhongli saw the letter, Cui Zheng asked Han Xu to come to Linzhou, and at the same time asked him to ask Mrs. Chu to also assist in garrisoning Linzhou.
Li Minglou was a little curious: "You say, will Han Xu write to me?" When I went to Linzhou, he was in the palm of my hand. ”
She laughed.
Last time, when she asked Jiang Liang to write a letter to continue borrowing soldiers, she sent two pairs of shoes with the letter, one pair of men's shoes and one pair of women's shoes, the women's shoes pretended to be her own, and the men's shoes were given to Han Xu to wear, and the size was made by Jiang Liang according to his own feet..... Afterwards, Han Xu replied that he didn't throw the immoral shoes back, but only said not to send anything more.
Zhongli sent a message that the women's shoes were hidden by Han Xu, and the men's shoes were worn by Han Xu on his feet in order to avoid being discovered.
Han Xu is now willing and dares to interact with her in a fake way, because she can't touch and can't see it, if he really goes to Linzhou, he will be in front of her every day.
Han Xu dares?
Yuan Ji couldn't laugh, with anger: "Han Xu's thief is not a good thing, for the sake of his righteousness, he will definitely do not hesitate to deceive Miss." ”
Speaking of this, he was sad and angry, whether it was the court, Han Xu, or that Xiang Nan, Miss saved their lives, guarded the people, fought wars, and settled the country, but they only thought about calculating and coaxing Miss, and treated Miss as no one else.
The letter written by Han Xu may already be on the way.
Li Minglou hurriedly comforted Yuan Ji: "Uncle Yuan Ji, I said that it was a lie, I won't be fooled, it's okay, let's not be angry." ”
It's all now, and the young lady is still worried about comforting others, Yuan Ji's eyes are sour, he turned his head to look away, and stopped talking.
Jiang Ming took over and said: "Even if Han Xu can be looked down upon by Miss here, but if there is such a big thing as giving up the capital, it is natural for Miss to refuse, and the key to this matter is still on Xiang Yun." ”
First of all, I used Han Xu to deceive, if I used sugar to deceive you, I will be good, everyone, if you can't deceive you, then you have to move a big stick, if you are not good, I will make you even worse.
Thinking of this, Yuanji was even more angry.
"Before this side is finished, we will kill the donkey! How dare Cui Zheng do this? How can Your Majesty not care? ”
Jiang Ming and Fang Er couldn't hide their anger, yes, they never dreamed that the imperial court would treat them like this, although they knew that now the guards and soldiers all had different intentions, but it was the imperial court, they were fighting for the imperial court of Great Xia.
Before the credit was rewarded, I pondered and calculated them.
Compared with these three big men, Li Minglou, the girl sitting in front of the case, did not have the slightest sadness and anger, and even had a shallow smile on the corner of her mouth.
What's so sad about this, she's already experienced something even more sad and angry, and it's not strange at all now.
She's been waiting, and now it's coming, and it's good.
"Xiang Yun is on the road, and he has no more than 10,000 soldiers and horses." Yuan Ji stopped pacing and said coldly, "We'll kill him halfway." ”
Regardless of Xiang Yun's purpose, if Xiang Yun came to the capital, he would find out their true identity.
Yuan Ji already knew what it meant to Li Minglou to find out his identity, and he would never allow such a thing to happen.
Fang Er stood up: "The use of soldiers and horses may not be successful, so I should go in person." ”
He is better at assassination, and sometimes has an advantage when he goes it alone.
Li Minglou hurriedly stopped: "This is not good, it is too risky, as long as we use soldiers and horses, we will leave clues, even if we kill Xiang Yun, we still fulfill the wishes of the court, and there is an excuse to get rid of us, not to mention that now the Ankang bandit soldiers are still eyeing us, we can't mess up first." ”
Yuan Ji sighed: "Miss, you all know this, don't they know?" ”
But they don't care.
Because these places were not laid by them, they don t care, she cares, she can't let the people here get involved in the war, and there are countless casualties Li Minglou pinched his fingers.
"Don't worry, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth." She said, "Even if he comes, to our territory, will we be afraid of him?" ”
As for being identified.
"He can come to the capital realm, just don't let him enter the city."
That's right, this capital is under their control, and they know that Xiang Yun came with bad intentions, and they have been prepared, but the worst case is to kill Xiang Yun, and when the time comes, it will be said that the rebel assassin of Ankang Mountain killed it, and the three of Yuan Ji nodded in response.
Li Minglou looked down at his fingers, and even if they didn't make a move, Xiang Yun might die on the road.
Zhou Yan from Jiangling Mansion sent a message saying that Xiang Qiu had left Jiangling Mansion.
Xiang Qiu didn't have anything to do with her, and she didn't write him letters asking him to take care of his body or asking him not to do dangerous things, because since Xiang Qi left Dou County, this matter has nothing to do with her.
It's a matter of self-esteem.
He didn't do this for Mrs. Chu, but for himself.
How can she point fingers? That's humiliating him.
Li Minglou put down these things and looked at another letter: "Madame and Kumquat have already set off, right?" ”
Originally, he was going to pick up Mrs. Wu a long time ago, but Mrs. Wu had a cough and was in bad spirits day and night.
"We're halfway there." Jiang Ming smiled and said, "Madame has not been sick again, and she will speed up in the next few days, and it will be there in ten days at most." ”
Li Minglou said: "You don't need to speed up, just walk slowly." ”
On the tenth day, she pinched her fingers, then she could write a letter to Wu Ya'er and let him come to the capital.
"Uncle Ming." She said, "You write a letter to the Governor of Wudu, say it, and let him arrange the time." ”
Jiang Ming sighed, but was stunned and suspected that he didn't understand: "Miss? I write? Or are you ....."
Li Minglou lowered his head and looked at the documents on the table: "Aren't all the letters exchanged with Wei Dao written by someone?" Just write one for him by the way. ”
Incidentally? But Wu Ya'er has never been in by the way, Jiang Ming still has to ask, and Yuan Ji pulls him up.
"I got it, I'll write it." He said, "Miss, take a break." ”
Li Minglou lowered his head and looked at the documents intently, and he didn't care about their words.
Jiang Ming was taken out by Yuanji and continued to ask: "Aren't all Wu Ya'er's letters written by Miss?" Why ....."
Yuan Ji interrupted him: "Isn't it good that Miss didn't write it for him?" What else do you ask? ”
Fortunately, since that speculation, their hearts have not been let go for a day, day and night, Jiang Ming said: "But you also have to know why?" ”
Fang Er said: "I'm not interested." ”
Not interested? Motoyoshi and Jiang Ming look at him.
"That painting lady also asked people to put it away." Fang Er said, "I have already said that you think too much, even if Miss likes this Wu Crow, that is, if she wants to be fresh, when Miss was young, the Metropolitan Governor gave her a lot of fresh things, and Miss will stay for a few more days if she likes it, but in the end she will throw it away." ”
That is, the young lady is fresh about this Wu Crow, and she is not even too lazy to write a letter to him, just like at the beginning.
Motoyoshi and Jiang Ming breathed a sigh of relief.
"That's good, that's good."
.......
.......
Li Minglou looked at the paperwork, but she hadn't finished reading a single line of the paperwork, she lowered her head, and her hidden gaze was erratic.
She sighed softly.
She had already put away the paintings that Wu Ya'er had sent, and she was not wearing the socks he had given her on her feet, and the clothes he had left here had been put in a separate box, and she had not written to him again.
But why, when she eats, when she suddenly wakes up from sleep, when she is doing things, when she holds her cheeks to look at the scenery outside, and when she hears the palace ladies laughing, she will think of him? 2k reading web
