Qin Yining returned to the apse halfway up the mountain, his face was pale and relieved, he wiped his forehead, his hands were covered with cold sweat, and his heart was beating wildly.

Qiu Lu hurriedly twisted the handkerchief to serve her to wipe her face, and said with palpitations: "I was really scared to death just now!" There are so many people, a group of people who are pressed by the black, if they rush in, one person can drown us with a mouthful of spit! The girl who lost was witty, and she answered the question so cleverly, if she provoked the people's resentment, we would not be trampled to death! ”

Qin Yining took the honey water sent from the clouds and poured it into a bowl, and then he felt that he had come to life.

"Am I witty? I'm dying of nervousness. Putting down the white porcelain and gold-painted bowl, Qin Yining stroked his chest and said, "Do you think it's so easy to pretend to be a god stick?" In that kind of scene, I was careful with every word, and I didn't dare to say a word wrong, and I really wanted to act like a 'saint', but you know best who I am, where did I come from? I had to think about what to say, and I had to think about what to do, but luckily I had already guessed some of the questions they were going to ask, otherwise I didn't know what to do. ”

"No, I was holding the girl, and the girl kept shaking, so that I was nervous and trembling." Jiyun smiled bitterly, "How could the girl have imagined in advance that they would ask those questions?" ”

"It's not hard. At this juncture, I can still guess what the people care about. ”

Qin Yining was talking, and there were guards outside talking back and forth: "Back to the real person, someone from the Anping Marquis Mansion has come." ”

Qin Yining was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly said, "Please." ”

Hurriedly went downstairs with Jiyun and Qiulu.

As soon as he saw Qin Huaiyuan, the second master and the third master, Qin Yining laughed happily, and when he saw that the clothes on their bodies were soaked with sweat, not to mention, they were all wrinkled like pickles, Qin Yining knew that these three people must have been crowded together with the crowd, and they must have rushed to the other courtyard when they knew the news.

Qin Yining saluted movingly: "Father, second uncle, third uncle, it's so late, I have to ask you to go this way." ”

"Where." The third master sat down on the circle chair by himself and said, "Sister Yi, hurry up and bring a bowl of herbal tea to the third uncle, my throat is smoking." ”

Qin Yining urged Jiyun and Qiulu: "Don't go quickly." ”

Please sit down, and after a while, Qiu Lu and Jiyun came back with a tray and said with a smile: "There is iced sour plum soup, which can quench your thirst and cool off, please use it, master." ”

As he spoke, he served a big bowl to Qin Huaiyuan, the second master, and the third master.

Qin Yining was holding a pot on the side and waiting for the refill, waiting for his father and two uncles to drink half a pot of iced sour plum soup before a few people put down the bowl.

"As soon as we got the news, we rushed here, but there were too many people, so we had to abandon the car and walk to squeeze in with the crowd. Your performance has been seen by the Father, and you have done a good job. Qin Huaiyuan smiled.

Qin Yining said abruptly: "Father and uncles have seen it? I was deliberately trying to put on a show. ”

The second old man smiled: "It's good, it's quite similar, and you're holding a little rabbit?" Under the light, it looks like Chang'e. The common people had never seen this battle, and they were already shocked by their appearance. ”

"yes. You're good at that, otherwise no one will be convinced by what you say. The third master also said.

Qin Yining said: "It is precisely because I am afraid that what I said will not work, so I made this decision, so I can deal with the crisis for the time being." ”

"You said that you will set up an altar tomorrow to ask the sky, what will you do then?"

Qin Yining smiled bitterly: "Where will I put an altar?" I don't know anything, I can only ask a serious Taoist priest to teach me, I believe that if I follow the steps, I shouldn't make a fool of myself, as for how to give an explanation to the people, it still depends on the emperor. ”

Qin Huaiyuan raised his eyebrows when he heard this, "So, you have already figured out how to solve the food problem?" ”

"My daughter wasn't sure if the problem was easy to solve. I was about to discuss it with my father, but my father came with a sense of inspiration. ”

Qin Huaiyuan laughed when he heard this.

Qin Yining was just about to say the countermeasures he thought of, when a slightly sharp voice came from outside, "The emperor has arrived!" ”

When Qin Yining heard this, his brows furrowed.

It's already this time, even if something big has happened outside, and the emperor wants to inquire about the situation, he only needs to send someone he can trust, why do you need to go out of the palace in person?

Today, it happens that my father and two uncles are here, if they don't come, how can they say that they are lonely and widowed?

Obviously, Qin Huaiyuan, the second master, and the third master also thought of this layer, and their faces were not very good-looking.

Several people got up to pick up the driver.

"Long live the emperor."

"Welcome to the Emperor!"

Yu Chiyan was wearing a scarf on her head, dressed in regular clothes, and wearing a pair of soft-soled boots worn indoors on her feet.

Entering the door, Wei Chiyan didn't see anyone else in his eyes at all, only Qin Yining, who was wearing a snow-white folded gauze jacket, and he anxiously supported his hands: "Xuansu, are you okay?" ”

Qin Yining frowned, hurriedly retreated and broke free of Yu Chiyan's warm hands, and lowered his head and said, "Thank you for the emperor's concern, the courtiers are fine." ”

Qin Huaiyuan, the second master and the third master are all from the past, just looking at the emperor's eyes that did not hide his admiration when he looked at Qin Yining, they all knew in their hearts, although Qin Yining was forced to practice, but where was the emperor dead to Qin Yining? If Qin Yining had half the heart to climb the dragon and attach the phoenix, I'm afraid it would have been done a long time ago.

"The ministers (grass people) see the emperor." Qin Huaiyuan, the second master and the third master all made a big salute.

Only then did Wei Chiyan notice that there were still people in the room, and coughed a little embarrassedly, and said, "Calm down." ”

"Your Majesty."

Yu Chiyan sat down in the right seat in the house and asked, "As soon as I returned to the palace, I heard that the people in the city had gathered here, so I immediately rushed here. What do you think? You're not hurt, are you? ”

"Back to the emperor, the courtiers are fine." Qin Yining said respectfully.

Yu Chiyan nodded, "That's good." You did a good job this time, I just asked the guards about the situation at that time, and what you said was also very appropriate, calming the people's hearts and avoiding a big chaos. If the people riot, then there is no need to wait for the Great Zhou people to come in, I am afraid that there will be chaos in Beijing. ”

"The courtiers are also in a hurry to follow the power, so they made this decision."

Yu Chiyan saw her low eyebrows and smooth eyes, dressed in white, although she didn't see her demeanor with her own eyes, but just by imagining it, she could know how dusty she was in front of people, and the love in her eyes was about to overflow into substance, and her voice was extremely gentle.

"I heard from the guards, are you going to set up an altar tomorrow?"

"Yes." Qin Yining deliberately ignored Yu Chiyan's gentle tone.

"You are the person who Tianjizi has calculated to be able to protect the fortune of the country, and you can also contact the gods in the future, right?"

Qin Yining raised his head and looked at Captain Chi Yan with interest.

At this time, how to answer his question, so that he does not feel that she is taking advantage of the situation to be arrogant, and can achieve the goal, is very important.

Qin Yining said: "Back to the emperor, I can't hide it, what do you say about setting up an altar and asking the sky, it is all deliberately said by the courtiers in order to delay time." ”

"Oh?" The smile on the emperor's face deepened slightly.

The second and third masters were surprised.

Qin Yining said: "Although the courtiers have been approved by Tianjizi, it is just a hexagram by chance, the courtiers are just an ordinary little woman, where do you have such an exaggerated ability?" Saying that my life is good, I admit that Tianjizi did say that the sky was crazy. But I don't believe in what kind of saint I am. ”

"But you are indeed of a very good life, and you are a person who can protect the fortunes of the country. If you say that you are not now, wouldn't it be meaningless for me to call you a Xuansu real person? ”

"The significance of the courtier's practice here is nothing more than to calm the hearts of the people. Could it be that the emperor also believed the rumors among the people, believing that the courtiers could communicate with the gods? If the courtiers really have such good skills, it is better to directly invite the gods to help our Dayan. ”

She was unpretentious, and such a straightforward statement greatly pleased Yu Chiyan.

The mood that had been suppressed for several days finally relaxed, and Yu Chiyan smiled happily: "That's it, it's okay if you say it in front of me, don't say it when you go out." ”

"Yes." Qin Yining saluted and said in a low voice, "The rumors that have been spread by the people somehow have demonized the courtiers. The courtiers are also forced to be helpless, so they can only flicker around, there are so many people today, and improper handling will cause civil unrest, and the courtiers are also determined to give it a try. ”

"Hmm. You are very intelligent and witty. Yu Chiyan sincerely appreciated, and then asked, "I don't know how you will deal with the people after the altar is set up tomorrow?" ”

Qin Yining's face did not change: "The courtiers are just looking for a reason to use a procrastination trick, shouldn't it be the emperor who really solves the food problem?" ”

Yu Chiyan was choked by Qin Yining's rhetorical question.

yes, that's what he's supposed to do.

Yu Chiyan said embarrassedly: "That's indeed my business, but how are you going to deal with the people tomorrow?" ”

"That's easy." Qin Yining smiled harmlessly, "I'll just tell them, I've already told the emperor about the method." The emperor will naturally decide, so that no matter what decision the emperor makes, it will be in accordance with the will of heaven, and the people will definitely not object. ”

Yu Chiyan was speechless for a while.

This is to throw the problem to him again.

But he couldn't get angry at Qin Yining, "So I have to thank you?" ”

"This is what a courtier should do, the emperor doesn't have to be polite." Qin Yining lowered his head.

Yu Chiyan looked at her, speechless for a long time, secretly thinking that if she was really the daughter of Master Qin, this temperament was really the same as that of Master Qin.

"Qin Aiqing, Ling Ai refuses to help me, this burden will be handed over to your shoulders."

Qin Huaiyuan said in a low voice, "The ministers should do their best, but presumably the emperor already has a way." ”

When the second and third masters saw that the emperor was going to talk to Qin Huaiyuan about serious matters, they didn't dare to listen to it more, and hurriedly retreated quietly.

Qin Yining was about to retire, but Yu Chiyan said, "Xuan Su stays." ”

The gentle tone made Qin Yining's goosebumps fall all over the ground. She couldn't resist the decree, so she could only take a few steps back and stand behind Qin Huaiyuan.

The emperor said, "Now that the treasury is empty, if you want to buy grain back, you must have silver." Fortunately, Emperor Taizong issued treasure banknotes, I thought, it is better to order the banknote printing bureau to print a batch of treasure banknotes, the power is in hand, there is no silver, let's print a large number of it, buy food to solve the urgent need first. ”

PS: When I wrote this chapter, I found that there was a clerical error in the chapter "Chapter 242 Tax Grain". Wrote "treasure banknote" as "silver ticket". Treasure money and silver bills are two different things, and treasure money is the paper money that replaced gold and silver circulation at that time. A silver ticket is somewhat similar to a check. At that time, I didn't know why my brain was foggy. It has been modified, and it does not affect the meaning, so I hereby tell you ^_^
