Chapter 273: Late Summer and Autumn Solstice

This year's year is not good, the world is not peaceful, famine together, many people will die.

Jiangbei is still good, but Jiangnan has been rainy for days, the river water is soaring, many embankments are executed, the most serious situation in Huzhou is already a Ze country, displaced people are everywhere, mourning is everywhere, and the momentum of the Red Turban Army is getting stronger and stronger.

What worries about this is the major families in the south of the Yangtze River, especially after several families in Huzhou were slaughtered by the Red Turban Army, and other families have become more and more frequent recently. The Red Turban Army wants to sweep Jiangnan, but no matter what, it can't get around the many families in Jiangnan, and the two sides are already torn apart, and there is no room for any tolerance.

Xie Gongyi was very pleased with Xiao Yu's actions in Zhongzhou, knowing that Xiao Yu did not make a clear statement about Shuzhou's plan at the time, but he was still interested, and once said to Du Mingshi: "Ming Gong (Xiao Yu, the word Mingguang, respectfully called Ming Gong) acts, not in his words, but in his deeds, which can be called vigorous and resolute." ”

As for the four families in Jiangzhou and the White Lotus Sect who have always been eyebrow-eyed, Xie Gongyi hated it deeply, and he repeatedly said to the left and right in private that he was indifferent, and it was not enough to make a plan.

At this time, Xiao Yu, who was acting vigorously and resolutely in Xie Gongyi's mouth, was unhurriedly leaving Zhongzhou and heading in the direction of Xiliangzhou. When I left the Zhongzhou Prefecture, it was as if I had returned to the world from the cultivation world, and I no longer saw all kinds of cultivators, but most of them were refugees. For this, Xiao Yu can't control it, and he can't manage it, his northwest has the Hexi Plain, the Xiliang Corridor, and the Xiheyuan three granaries with the reputation of Saiwai Jiangnan, even if there is no Cao Yun, the life can be carried a little tighter, and even a slight surplus, which is much better than Huzhou today, but that's all.

Lan Yu did not let the switch let the victims enter the northwest, because the land in the northwest is barren, and 1.5 million households can raise 230,000 soldiers is already the limit, and no matter how many people there are, they really can't afford to raise them. And in all fairness, Xiao Yu is not short of people, in the case of having the grassland as a backing, Xiao Yu is not afraid of large-scale military combat, and it can even be said that in terms of strategic depth alone, whether it is Hou Jian, Xiao Lie, or Qin Zheng, herdsmen, Lu Qian and others, no one can compare to him, because after the five states in the northwest, there is Xiulong grassland, after Xiulong grassland, there is Wusiyuan, and there is Atami, even if the Monan grassland is lost, Xiao Yu can retreat from the snowy mountains to Mobei, or go to the Western Regions or make a comeback, this is one of the biggest confidence that Xiao Yu can divide the northwest.

The current Xiao Yu is not suitable for the Qin Emperor, who developed and accumulated diligently and diligently, and only after the sixth martyrdom did he reach the top of the world, but should be like the proprietor, starting from the end of the slightest, starting in the time of chaos, and ascending to the sky in one step. These are the results of Xiao Yu's thinking for a long time, so what Xiao Yu did was nothing more than four words, reckless and reckless, everything was based on the army, and only one opportunity was given to the army to go out of the northwest and sweep the world.

As a result, Xiao Yu also took out the autumn hunting separately from the tradition of the four-time hunting of the Grassland Khan, and developed it into a school military exercise, and also served as an opportunity for him to contact his feelings with the Grassland Zhutaiji.

After leaving the boundary of Zhongzhou, the population was obviously sparse, Xiao Yu abandoned the carriage and did not use it, and Qu Cang led people and Tang Shengyue and others to slow behind, while he jumped on the horse and raised the whip, led a group of entourage, and went straight to Xiliangzhou.

――

At this moment, a team of dusty men and horses finally arrived at the Golden Horde Court in the depths of the grassland.

A woman stepped out of the carriage, probably back to the place where she was born and grew up, in a good mood, took a pot of mare's milk wine from a young man behind her, took a few sips, hummed a few tunes on the grassland, and stayed in the Central Plains for a long time, learned the reserved nature of the Central Plains woman, opened her mouth several times, and finally failed to sing as loudly as before, just like her whole person, she no longer saw the beauty and joy when she was galloping on the grassland.

There were already three old men waiting outside the royal court for a long time, and the old man at the head had a withered face and was a little fat; the one on the left, on the contrary, was thin but his face was ruddy; and on the right was a tall old man with a weathered face. After seeing the woman, the three of them put their right hands on their chests together, bowed slightly, and said, "He is a white slave." ”

Since Lin Yuan implemented the sinicization, the grassland nobles basically use the Central Plains language, and even because of the cumbersome grassland language, even in daily life, the Central Plains language is also mostly used.

The woman and the young man accompanying her also returned the salute and said, "He is a white slave." ”

After the salute, the woman said in the official dialect of the Central Plains with a slight northwest accent: "There are three great Taiji to greet you." ”

The three of them didn't dare to say anything, these three people are the three major people in power in the grassland, Huang Hanji, Shen Shixing, and Lu Shixing, who recently regained power because of Xiao Yu's support, and the people who came were naturally Lin Yinping and Lin Han's sister and brother.

Lin Yinping glanced at the sky and laughed softly: "The three big Tai Ji can gather in the royal court, I'm afraid it won't all be because they want to welcome me." ”

The eyes of the three of them met slightly, and Huang Hanji spoke: "Actually, before the princess left the central capital, the three of us had already come to the royal court, after all, this year's autumn hunt is coming......"

Lin Yinping nodded and asked, "Who is going to this year's autumn hunt?"

Shen Dongzan replied: "The three of us are going to go, and among the rest of the many Taiji, there are about dozens of people, especially the old people of the four departments back then, who are all in love with the prince and the princess." ”

Lin Yinping asked, "Where is Zhongdu?"

This time, it was Lin Han, who was standing behind her, who took over the conversation, "The Central Capital is dominated by the Metropolitan Governor Xu Lin, Min Xing, and Zhuge Gong, and there are also some real power leaders who have been newly promoted by their brother-in-law, most of them are mainly generals who have surrendered, and the details have not been revealed, but I think Mr. Lan has already arranged it." ”

Lin Yinping sighed lukewarmly, lacking interest, showing a trace of lackluster on his face, Huang Hanji, who had been watching the faces of the Lin family for most of his life, was the first to react, and hurriedly invited Lin Yinping to enter the city, and at the same time said that the original Zhenbei Wangfu had been repaired, and asked the princess to go back to the palace to rest first.

Lin Yinping and his entourage entered the royal court in a majestic manner, and Lin Han was at the end of the line, riding side by side with Lu Shixing, who had never spoken.

Not like the south of the Yangtze River, after the autumn outside the plug, the last bit of heat was quickly swept away, and the cold current has begun to brew in the depths of the Mobei grassland.

At this time, Wu Siyuan was already quite cold, and soon after, it would completely enter the cold season, which would generally last for about five months, and when it was long, it could even reach half a year, Lin Han wore a brand-new heavy brocade robe, which was very clear compared to Lu Shixing, who was wearing a fur coat with some hair loss beside him.

At this time, Lin Han wore a golden crown, a hosta, a brocade robe, official boots inlaid with vermilion jade on his feet, a ring around his waist, and a green jade carved dragon wrench on his thumb, which was even more eye-catching.

Now Lin Han doesn't look like a grassland person, he glanced at Lu Shixing, who was still dressed in the traditional dress of a grassland person, and said slowly: "You must let my sister return to Zhongdu during the autumn hunting, this is what the prince meant." ”

Lu Shixing did not rush to answer, but was silent for a while before he said slowly: "If I remember correctly, the princess believes in Buddhism, right?"

Lin Han was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Lu Shixing to ask like this, but he still nodded.

Lu Shixing looked down at the weeds under the horse's hooves and said, "According to the custom of the Molun Temple, people are cremated after death, and their ashes are scattered between the mountains and rivers. Lin Yuanda's ashes were sprinkled on Atami and Ula Mountain. ”

Lin Han's face changed suddenly, and he said coldly: "Lu Shixing, do you know what you're talking about?"

Lu Shixing's face remained unchanged and said: "There are some things that anyone with a discerning eye can see, Huang Hanji and Shen Dongzan are like this, Xu Lin and Lan Yu are the same, but no one dares to say it." ”

Lin Han's face turned pale.

Lu Shixing said softly: "Don't toss her anymore, let her live a comfortable life for two days, or maybe she won't see her one day, don't wait for the person to be gone and then burn the paper desperately, the person who is gone is going to be burned once, and he can't smell the burnt paste." ”
