The cold winter is fierce, Chinese New Year's Eve is approaching, and the entire Ohara is immersed in an exuberant mood. The general has not spent Chinese New Year's Eve in the mansion for many years, and the general's mansion was deserted on the previous Chinese New Year's Eve festival; This year is different, when the general returns home, he has to prepare well and have a lively and lively life.

The general's mansion has been preparing for the festival since a few days ago, especially Wu's mother is very busy, and she is going back to her hometown to get local products, and she is ordering on the street.

The general has a lot of worries every day, except for the dead skin and shame to go to Shuhe to ask for himself, the rest of the time is in the study, or discussing important matters with Jingyu, or taking a medicinal bath, and the life is not boring.

Time flies, but there is no progress at all on the big things that are on my mind. Jingyu spends every day in a panic, and the shortage of food and grass can no longer be hidden, so this day in the study, he and Pan out.

Jingyu said: "General, the barracks are short of food and grass, and the soldiers are hungry. ”

Guan Duyuan asked, "How long?" Did you know that? ”

Jingyu said truthfully: "There is more than half a month. I've asked for a recital, but I haven't heard from me yet. ”

The general fell into deep thought.

Jingyu said: "General, the matter of grain and grass is in charge of the household department, and the household department is the prince's person, if you want to obtain grain and grass, you have to ......."

Obviously, it's not that I didn't upload it, but I didn't do anything when I saw it, and I was waiting for myself to come to the door!

Guan Duyuan said: "Jingyu, prepare pen and ink, I will play the emperor directly." ”

The general worked hard to write the book, and it was completed quickly, and since the performance was ineffective, he would present it directly to His Majesty.

A few days later, when the prelude was handed down, and the royal order was given to purchase grain, he knew that His Majesty now admired force, and that those who fought the world on horseback would not let the soldiers starve.

But here comes the problem, due to the floods this year, the overall grain harvest is not good, and it is not sufficient, and now spending money to buy grain has led to a rise in grain prices, and the people have no purchasing power, and those who are hungry are starving, and those who make money are making money, and the people are falling into a crisis of food shortage, and there are still huge contradictions and conflicts.

So now His Majesty issued an edict, ordering the subject countries to pay more tribute, and each subordinate kingdom to hand over an additional 2,000 stone of grain.

Guan Duyuan and Jingyu discuss in the study.

Jingyu asked Guan Duyuan, "General, what do you think of Your Majesty's move?" ”

Guan Duyuan thought for a moment and said: "This move is very inappropriate, the foreign countries are different from Dayuan, most of them live on animal husbandry, and their own national food is not enough, how can they pay tribute?" I'm afraid that if I'm in a hurry, it will backfire. ”

Jingyu said: "I also feel that the emperor's edict is inappropriate, the dog is forced to jump off the wall, but I am afraid that it will be ...... again", he didn't say the next words, and then it was a vicious war, and it was the people who suffered, both of them understood this truth.

I understand the truth, but I can't say it, so I have to take a big risk.

Jingyu cautiously asked, "General, should we ask Your Majesty to take back the edict?" ”

Guan Duyuan said with certainty: "No, Chrysostom Yuyan, once you open your mouth, how can you take it back?" Besides, His Majesty also has his own ideas, so let's let it go. ”

Jingyu thought it was incredible, if it was before, the general would definitely put the people of the world first, afraid of causing resentment and war, but the general's current attitude made him a little confused.

Sure enough, as soon as the edict came out, the people began to complain.

The small countries of Fanbang sent envoys to negotiate in Dayuan, without exception, they all asked for a reduction in the tribute grain, and the palace was very lively, and the ministers could not say a few words except for joining in the fun. The stalemate lasted for a long time, and finally the opinions could not be agreed, and some of the envoys went away angrily, saying that they wanted to leave the Great Plains, and see them on the battlefield, which was a powerful Fanbang. Some of them rolled back with a dirty face, which was weak and not yet a small country.

The king of Beiwan assisted the minister Guan Zhen in a letter, asking His Majesty the Emperor to reduce the amount of grain and grass to be tributed, and the letter said that Beiwan had a small grain harvest this year, and the people were miserable, and they really couldn't hand over the two thousand stone grain that was paid more tribute.

After reading the letter, His Majesty the Emperor was angry on the spot, "I sent him to supervise the king of Beiwan, he is good, eat inside and out, could it be that Beiwan is his, so maintained, do you still take me in your eyes?" ”

So Guan Duyuan was summoned to the palace that day, and was scolded fiercely, saying that General Zhenyuan had become someone else's lobbyist, and his elbow was turned out, so he really thought he was from Beiwan! Guan Duyuan shrugged his head, shutting up was his best choice, fortunately, it was just Guan Zhen who regarded himself as a Beiwan person, not that Guan Zhen regarded himself as the king of Beiwan!

Shu He was picking plum blossoms with He Huan in the yard, ready to pick fresh pastries, the two of them were laughing and laughing, and suddenly saw Guan Duyuan coming in from the gate with his head down, the figure was very lonely, his steps were lonely, and his body was covered with a layer of wind and frost, which made people feel distressed.

It was at this time that Shu He found out that the person had always been in her heart, and it was so heavy, because her heart hurt at the moment.

The man slowly walked this way, her heart beating faster and faster, and she looked at his lonely figure, and gradually lost her breath. I thought that he would go straight to the main courtyard when he came back, but he didn't expect that he would go straight back to his own study, and he didn't find anyone picking plums in the courtyard at all.

The dejected general returned to his study and locked himself in the room alone, with no one to be seen, including Jingyu. Jingyu was at a loss, and he didn't know what was going on, but he could guess that it must be a big event, a very serious big thing, otherwise the general wouldn't be so sad, Jingyu was anxious and flustered.

The pastries made of fresh plum blossoms were very sweet, and He Huan hurriedly took them to his wife to taste.

He Huan said: "Madam, the plum cake is good, it is very fresh, you can taste it!" ”

Shu He was not interested, and said lightly: "Let's put it first!" ”

The pastries made of fresh plums tasted good, but Shu He had no appetite at all, and her heart had already followed that person.

After picking the plum, she sat on the railing chair in the corridor of the courtyard, looking in the direction of the study from time to time, the person never came out, and she didn't know what he was doing, what she was most afraid of was that he couldn't figure it out.

She saw that Jingyu also went to the door of the study from time to time, completely at a loss, and she was even more anxious. She knew that Jingyu, the last time she saw him in the carriage, he was seriously injured, and she guessed it had something to do with herself. She has been dreaming for a long, long time in a daze, and she hasn't felt that way since then, and she guessed that Jingyu was injured to save her.

Before thanking her, she looked at the pastries sent by He Huan just now, and her heart lit up, and she finally found an excuse for herself to be close to the study.

When Jingyu went to the door of the study again, Shuhe appeared with a plate of plum pastries, Jingyu was surprised, but also very happy, because only the lady had a way to get his general to open the door.

She handed the plum pastry to Jingyu, but her eyes dodged to look at the study inside, and Jingyu saw it all in her eyes.

Shu He said politely: "Last time, I was rescued by my son, and I didn't have time to thank you, this snack is made of fresh plum, it tastes fresh, taste it." ”

She is really good at parroting, she hasn't tasted it herself, how can she know that it tastes fresh, and it wasn't He Huan's girl who told her.

Jingyu was flattered, hurriedly leaned over and saluted, and hurriedly took the plate. Embarrassed, the two looked at the study in unison.

"Madam, I'll give it to the general to taste." Of course she was happy, and she thought so too.

To get to the study, you have to walk a few steps to the corridor. Jingyu walked through the corridor with a plate of pastries and stood in front of the study, holding the plate in one hand and slamming the door in the other.

Jingyu said loudly: "General, Madame has brought pastries, you can taste them." ”

Jing Yu waited anxiously at the door, and the people at the end of the corridor behind him were already breathing. There was no big movement in the room, but a response seemed to be heard.

After a long time, the door opened, and the people inside looked at the people at the end of the corridor, and at that glance, it seemed as if they had returned to the past.

She saw that the man's eyes were slightly red, it must have been a person who secretly shed tears, it must be very painful and sad to do so.

He saw a furrow in the center of the man's eyebrows, like a scar from the wind and frost of time, and a thin figure settled at the end of the corridor, and his clothes swayed in the breeze, as if a gust of wind could blow her away.

Just one glance, the heart is ten thousand years.

Time freezes in this moment, affection does not need words, you know me, and I understand you. How much suffering has I experienced and how many grievances I have swallowed, as long as you see me in your eyes and think about me in your heart, it is nothing, you can make me enchanted with one look, but you can go to heaven or hell.

Jingyu was on the side, and seeing that she was too redundant, she put down the pastry and quietly retreated.

He walked up to her, the wind blowing in his ears, his hair ruffled, and he was humming.

The touch of two hands warms the wind and warms this winter.

She was dragged into the study by him.
