Chapter 149: Prayers

Emperor Tai'an sat in the imperial study, holding Xiao Yunfeng's recital in his hand, and frowned. Basket. Hue. Book. Ba, I didn't expect that at the juncture of military training, why did there be a typhoon, and all the big and small officials in Qiongzhou were folded in, if it weren't for the fact that he knew his nephew's character, he really had reason to suspect that this was Xiao Yunfeng, who suspected that these people were in the way, and quietly slaughtered everyone What is this called, he slammed the fold on the case, and thought about how much silver the household could come up with for disaster relief. The tax and silver in various places have not been collected in full in these years, and the garrison generals in various places have been directly transferred from the local area, and they cannot reach the hands of the imperial court at all. And the annual tax silver of the imperial court can also be collected by 30%. What is this thirty percent enough to do, in addition to occupying the desert in the northwest border, the Xiao family army really did not add any burden to the imperial court. Although the command is not moving, at least it is not used by the imperial court. On the other hand, if you don't support others, why do you want people to listen to your command. But the other garrisons are different, they intercepted the tax money of the imperial court, which is equivalent to being raised by the imperial court, but the damn still doesn't listen to the dispatch, what are they

Thinking about the meaning of moving the people in the secret fold, Emperor Tai'an thought about it, or the south is the most important time, this bit of grace is reluctant, why let the family sell your life. Besides, it is said that it is a relocation, but it is just a family matter of Xiao Jiajun's own family, and he wants to send his family back to the border city. On the one hand, they may be frightened by the wind disaster, and on the other hand, they are also affected by the division of land. Moving from south to north, it is still the family members of the Xiao family who move, and they don't have to pay a penny from the court, so it's not interesting to get stuck. Is the court stuck, won't the people themselves go, just say it's a homeless person, who can stop it What is the matter He couldn t help but snort coldly in his heart, the timing was really accurate

Thinking about Zheng Qingluan in the border city again, Emperor Tai'an felt that he had a toothache. A girl, three times five divided by two, pinched the talisman in his hand, so much so that he still hasn't figured out what to do The promotion and appointment of the generals of the Xiao family army are all decided by the Xiao family themselves, and they only go through the motions from the ministry, indicating that the official position of the Xiao family army is recognized by the imperial court. And the imperial court has never had a say in this. He read and looked at the strip Chen sent by the ministry, and still approved it, isn't it a change of general, let's change it, hurry up and finish the formalities of the ministry, and the border cities of the province think that he, the emperor, wants to embarrass them again. But for the scheming things, let them have more snacks.

After dealing with the matter, he passed the will again and let the eldest princess go back to the palace to live for a few days.

The eldest princess smiled and did not refuse. Knowing that the imperial brother was taking himself hostage again, remind Feng'er

The days passed in the blink of an eye. Today, Zheng Qingluan was dressed in armor and stood in front of the handsome tent.

After eleven years, the Xiao family's handsome tent has finally risen again. The sound of trumpets is thick and distant, with heroism and desolation.

Zheng Qingluan worshiped heaven and earth and his ancestors, and then calmly stepped into the handsome tent.

The handsome tent is more of a symbol of power. The handsome tent was raised, proving that the commander of the Xiao Jiajun was there, and the boss still had the highest rights.

In addition to the special meaning of glossy, in Zheng Qingluan's eyes, the handsome tent is similar to a large tent like a yurt.

It's just that the area is larger, the decoration is more beautiful, and the functions are more complete. This so-called handsome tent is more than 200 square meters in size. And there are many functional areas inside. The living area is divided into a bedroom, a bathroom, a cloakroom, and a dining room. The office area has a study, a living room, a banquet hall and so on. Whether it is a home residence, an office meeting, or even a banquet, it can be satisfied. The ground was covered with a thick blanket of felt and charcoal was burned in a huge carbon basin, and although the whole tent was not as warm as the Shuai Mansion, it was definitely not cold.

Zheng Qingluan took off his cloak and sat behind the bookcase.

Seeing Zheng Qingluan stunned, Baiyi looked like he didn't know what to do, and said with a smile, "Take the armor off, and there is no general who wears battle armor all day long." ”

Zheng Qingluan came back to his senses at this time, and looked down at the silver-white armor, "It's really, cold and uncomfortable." ”

Baiyi smiled and took out a dark brocade robe, Zheng Qingluan put it on his body with satisfaction, and sat back in a daze. Baiyi felt that as soon as the little master entered the barracks, he had a little more awe-inspiring aura on his body. Didn't you see that those generals didn't dare to underestimate her?

I didn't know what to do, so I heard a report from Baier, saying that Li Zhiqian asked to see him.

Zheng Qingluan nodded and asked Baiyi to welcome people in.

Li Zhiqian was just about to salute, Zheng Qingluan waved his hand, "Don't look up and don't look down, if you come so politely, politely, let's not do anything for a day, just busy saluting." ”

"Listen to my master. Li Zhiqian smiled, "The master is still used to entering October, and the sky is getting colder and colder." It's not as warm as it is in the house. ”

"Not bad. Zheng Qingluan invited Li Zhiqian to sit down, and motioned for the embroidered clothes to serve tea, "During this time, I have adapted to the climate of the border city." ”

"That's good" Li Zhiqian cared for a few words, then slowly smiled, took out a post, and handed it to Zheng Qingluan, "Master, this was received early this morning." ”

Zheng Qingluan glanced at Li Zhiqian, and seeing that the other party's expression was a little solemn, she couldn't help but be a little more cautious. The post is red and sprinkled with gold, but the handwriting is just correct. She opened it, but her eyes were fixed, "Yelu Houxiong"

"Yes, it's Yelu Houxiong. Li Zhiqian nodded. He wondered in his heart, but he didn't expect that the little master knew a lot about Tartar. The post only says that the five princes of the Great Khan are just that. Moreover, the real name of the fifth prince is Yelu Amur. Houxiong is nothing more than his Han name. I didn't expect the master to even know this.

The corners of Zheng Qingluan's mouth hooked up with a smile, and he played with the post in his hand, "This person is really interesting."

"This person's background is not obvious, and his mother is just a civilian woman. Without the support of the mother family, it is really not to be underestimated to be qualified to enter the king's account. Li Zhiqian explained.

Zheng Qingluan nodded, the son is more precious than the mother, which is more common among nomads. If the mother is a slave girl, the child born to the male will not be recognized, even if it is the master's, unless the child is particularly outstanding. "It doesn't matter what he thinks, what should we do. ”

"The post said that I came to visit," Li Zhiqian didn't say much. looks like he's obedient.

"If he wants to come, he will come. Here, let's follow. If you don't come, don't bother. Zheng Qingluan casually brushed the post on the table, looking unconcerned.

Li Zhiqian got up with a smile and left.

Baiyi put away the post on the table and asked with a smile, "This fifth prince has some ability, and looking at the Chinese characters he wrote, they can be regarded as decent." ”

"Such a talent is terrifying," Zheng Qingluan frowned and said, "People who have forbearance and can win the heads of all families are resolute and extremely human." ”

"Why did the master put on a disdainful posture" Baiyi was a little puzzled.

"It's not right for me to disdain people," Zheng Qingluan said with a smile, "Doesn't General Li know how powerful it is, so why didn't he persuade me?"

One hundred and one choked. Why can, why don't you wait to see the master plant himself?" What else do you want to do?"

"He didn't mean anything. Zheng Qingluan explained with a smile, "I just thought that I was young and vigorous, and I was afraid that I would be arbitrary in the future, and I would not accept advice." Thinking of making me suffer a little, only by letting me know how powerful it is, can I understand the value of these veterans. ”

"This man has a lot of eyes. What's wrong with saying it, what's the point of going around like this" One hundred hands the stove handed over to Zheng Qingluan, "Hold it, it's not as warm as the house." ”

Zheng Qingluan held the stove and said thoughtfully, "You are right, it's good to say it, and the provinces are guessing each other." "To be honest with others, you must first be honest with yourself. Zheng Qingluan glanced at the busy Baiyi and said with a smile, "It's really a word to wake up the dreamer What do you want, I will reward you." ”

"What" Baiyi glanced at Zheng Qingluan suspiciously, although he didn't understand which words he said were useful to the master, but he still took it correctly. "The master has a pair of willow-like earrings, I want that. ”

Zheng Qingluan herself has no pierced ears, she has a lot of earrings, and these girls have already seen it. The pair of willow leaves are carved from yang-green jadeite, and even the veins of the leaves are clearly visible. The material is not expensive, but it is just chic. And it's something that Zheng Qingluan can't use. It can be seen that even if Baiyi is rewarded, he is extremely measured.

"Okay, I'm going to go when I get home. Zheng Qingluan responded with a smile.

"I'm afraid I won't be able to go back today" As soon as the words fell, I saw Baier coming in from outside, "The snowflakes the size of a child's palm, but they are too big to go back today." ”

Zheng Qingluan was startled, got up and lifted a gap in the felt curtain on the window, which was really huge. She turned around and smiled, "If you come, you will be safe, stay and stay." Cook a few good dishes, and I'm going to invite a few guests for a drink in the evening. ”

Baiyi saw that the master was in good spirits, and hurriedly and simply responded.

Unlike the snowy border city, Qiongzhou in the south is still in the right day. It's not the scorching sun it used to be, but it's still hot. There seems to be a smell of the sea in the air.

Xiao Yunfeng took Xiao Da and walked slowly along the stone road on the street. The storm shattered many families, and whimpering was heard all over the city a few days ago, but now people seem to have forgotten the pain, and those who are alive still have to try to survive.

"It won't be long before we can regain prosperity. Xiao Da had a smile on his face.

Xiao Yunfeng nodded, "We still have to let people re-register the population, and some ownerless fields can't continue to be barren." ”

"This has to wait for the will of the imperial court, and I can't rush it. Xiao Da persuaded in a low voice. ~ Search the basket color, you can read the full text of the following chapters
