Chapter 54: Jealous
"Okay."
Finally waiting for this sentence, Xiao Yu didn't want to listen to Liu Jinfen's nagging at all, but her face was still smiling, "Then mother, you can go back to the house and have a good rest, you are also tired these days, aren't you." β
Hearing Xiao Yu's words of caring about herself, Liu Jinfen felt a little better, thinking of the past few days, basically every day when Shen Muzhi was not at home, she would always quarrel with Xiao Yu for a word or two, and now seeing that she is so well-behaved, she goes back satisfied.
When she arrived at Xiao's Mansion, Mrs. Xiao was ready for her uncle to return to the door early in the morning.
Although the Shen family was a remedy, for the sake of Xiao Yu, Mrs. Xiao still warmly entertained Shen Muzhi.
Before leaving, Mrs. Xiao looked at Xiao Yu and instructed, "Find a time to go into the palace to see the queen mother, she can't come when you get married, you just go to see the queen mother." β
"Yes, Mother."
Xiao Yu said.
After sending Xiao Yu and the others away, Mrs. Xiao also looked tired.
The grandmother beside her helped Mrs. Xiao and asked, "Madam, this Lord Shen doesn't seem to be so interested in Miss." β
"I know, but Yu'er insists on this, from childhood to adulthood, who can stop it."
A few days later, as soon as Yin Jiuyue finished reading the book given to him by the gambling king, he saw Yin Mingtai walk in with a letter.
"Mingtai, what's wrong."
Seeing Yin Mingtai's serious face, Yin Jiuyue thought that something big had happened, and immediately stood up and took the letter in Yin Mingtai's hand to look at it.
"It's my father's letter."
Yin Jiuyue immediately opened it, and was immediately shocked by the contents after a few glances.
There was a flood in southern Xinjiang.
"Mingtai."
"Yue'er." Yin Mingtai pulled Yin Jiuyue to sit down, "Don't you know that I'm still alive now?" β
Yin Mingtai's question reminded Yin Jiuyue that she had been obsessed with reading recently, and she forgot to send a message back to his father to tell him that Yin Mingtai was still alive.
Scratching her head embarrassedly, Yin Jiuyue smiled, "Yes, I forgot to send the message back." β
"Hurry up and send a message to the prince, this time there is a flood in southern Xinjiang, I am worried that there will be a war. The prince will definitely need me. Yin Mingtai said.
Yin Jiuyue thought about it carefully, indeed, the flood in southern Xinjiang in the previous life was only half a month longer than this time, but she didn't expect that this time it would come earlier.
Yin Jiuyue nodded, "Okay, I'll send a message back to Jingyuan now." The tone was full of seriousness, which was enough to prove how serious the water in Nanjiang was this time.
The current court has become a mess.
Yin Huan watched a group of courtiers discuss one by one, and the serious court is now like a vegetable market.
"That's enough, you're all done, who can give me a satisfactory answer."
Yin Huan's burst of shouts successfully suppressed the civil and military officials below, and finally quieted down Yin Huan took a deep breath, leaned back in his chair, and waited for them to come up with an idea.
I saw the heat below, you look at me, I look at you, I don't dare to step forward.
Now Shen Muzhi, the celebrity around the emperor, the newlywed should be sweet and sweet with his wife now, how can you think of how trembling these people are now.
"Are you all dumb?"
Yin Huan looked at a group of people who hesitated, timid and scared, and was so angry in his heart.
Looking at the prime minister standing at the head of the right, Yin Huan said, "Li Zhong, what do you say you have a good idea?" β
Prime Minister Li, who was at an old age, was named by the emperor, and suddenly there was a cold sweat behind his back.
His steps trembled a little, Li Zhong walked to the center, lowered his head and said, "If you go back to the emperor, the minister thinks that you should send troops to go now, the distance between southern Xinjiang and Nanzhao is very advanced, this sudden flood in southern Xinjiang, the people of Nanzhao are shameless, and they will definitely have an attempt on the people of my Ming Dynasty, so for the territory of the Ming Dynasty, the emperor please send troops as soon as possible." β
"What Prime Minister Li said is very true, and there is no one else who has other opinions."
Yin Huan glanced around below, looking at General Xiao on the left, Yin Huan spoke, "General Xiao doesn't have any opinions?" β
General Xiao and Xiao Rong have been fighting on the battlefield for many years, occupying a pivotal position in the court, which can be described as covering the sky with one hand.
was named by the emperor, so that there was no trace of panic, he stepped forward and bowed his head and said, "If you go back to the emperor, now that the treasury is tight, it is really not a wise move to send troops there, and the minister thinks that he should send people to stabilize the people, and then talk about sending troops." β
Li Zhong didn't expect Xiao Rong to dismantle his platform, raised his head, and looked at Xiao Rong.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Rong's face did not change, and the appearance of the smiling tiger made Li Zhong's teeth itch with some hatred.
"Who else has an idea?"
Yin Huan saw the head of the civil official and the head of the military attache arguing, and was satisfied with the current situation.
The subsequent officials did not come up with any new ideas, after all, the head of the text and the capital of the military did not dare to offend, so they could only agree with the civil officials Li Zhong's idea, and the military attache agreed with the idea of the head of the military, so that it would not be too eye-catching and be singled out.
Shaking his head, Qi Mo stood at the end of the military attachΓ©, only feeling that the current situation was very sad, this group of people was afraid that their interests would be lost, like a wall grass, they had no ideas of their own, they didn't think about the country at all, they didn't think about the people.
As the saying goes, if you don't make decisions for the people, it's better to go home and plant sweet potatoes.
After getting off the court, Qi Mo stepped forward quickly and finally caught up with Xiao Rong, bent down respectfully and said, "General, please stay." β
Xiao Rong turned around and saw that it was Qi Mo, and was a little surprised, "Oh, it's Lord Qi." β
"General Xiao." Qi Mo heard Xiao Rong's surprise and continued, "Why is General Xiao reluctant to send troops, Prime Minister Li Cheng is right, the sudden flood will definitely cause war, and you should send troops there now." β
Qi Mo raised his head and looked at Xiao Rong, taking in the disdain on his face.
knows that Xiao Rong is not a good person.
In this conversation, Qi Mo only confirmed the doubts in his heart.
Xiao Rong looked at the young man in front of him, he was stunned at first glance, he didn't understand the sinister officialdom, how could he say that he would send troops, there was a drought last year, the emperor ordered a tax cut, the treasury revenue was significantly reduced, and even the army rations were not enough.
Besides, his illness in the north, going to the enemy in the south, no matter how to say it, also needs the army of the south to be present.
"You're still too young."
Xiao Rong shook his head at Qi Mo, he had only been an official for a few years, so of course he didn't understand this.
After speaking, Xiao Rong left, Qi Mo looked at Xiao Rong's back and sneered, how could he not understand.
Out of the palace, when Qi Mo passed by the county lord's mansion, he suddenly stopped.
"Is the county lord in the mansion?"
Qi Mo looked at the guard at the door and asked.
But the guards didn't know Qi Mo, looked at him vigilantly, and said coldly, "Who are you, not everyone can see our county lord, take out your pat sticker and take a look." β
This visit was completely Qi Mo's temporary intention, where did he come from.
Qi Mo shook his head, "There is no post, can the little brother go and pass it on?" β
The guard glanced at him, met his companions, and nodded, "What is your last name?" β
"Qi, you said that the county lord will definitely know."
"Okay."
Walking quickly, the guard almost collided with Yin Mingtai halfway.
"Boss."
"What's the hurry?" Yin Mingtai crossed his hands in front of his chest, looked at him with a frown, and was a little angry, "There is such a woman in the house, it doesn't matter if you run into me in such a hurry, what if you bump into someone else." β
"Yes, yes, yes."
The guard was reprimanded by Yin Mingtai and said again and again, he didn't dare to talk to Yin Mingtai, he could only laugh awkwardly, but he wondered why the boss talked so much today.
Of course, he didn't know why Yin Mingtai was talking so much at this moment.
Yin Mingtai was obviously prolonging the time, he had already seen Qi Mo's figure, and immediately suspected that his purpose was not pure, he had never seen him pass by the county lord's mansion before, why did he come here inexplicably today.
Thinking that he and Yin Jiuyue must have an ulterior secret, as long as Yin Mingtai thought that Yin Jiuyue and other men had secrets hidden from him, he panicked in his heart.
was bumped into by him this time, and he actually wanted to meet Yin Jiuyue, how could Yin Mingtai let him succeed.
The guards saw Yin Mingtai nodding and said, "You go back first, I'll go and tell the county lord." β
Yin Mingtai is Yin Jiuyue's future husband and Prince Yin's future son-in-law, does he still use himself? The guard thought that he didn't have to make a trip, so he immediately nodded and said, "Thank you, boss, thank you, boss." β
"Well, you can go back quickly."
Yin Mingtai watched him run towards the door, smiled slightly, turned around and walked towards Yin Jiuyue casually.
"Ah Yue."
"Mingtai."
Yin Jiuyue saw Yin Mingtai coming in, put down the book in his hand, rubbed his temples slightly, and looked up at Yin Mingtai.
