Chapter 137, spring flowers bloom
Zhang Youzhi couldn't help but be a little strange about her arrangement, I don't know what the hell she was doing, but he didn't say much, just answered and withdrew with the letter.
Immediately, she was alone in the house in a daze.
In the next few days, with the change of seasons, the spring cold and warm, the spring rain continued, this small county town, began to be densely populated, every morning, you can hear the sound of people selling on the street.
On this day, the county order still didn't arrange anything for Lu Zhaoyi, so she had to sit in the room, either flipping through the books, or carving wood carvings, and occasionally picking up embroidery and embroidering lightly and skillfully.
After noon, she returned to the boudoir, and soon after, after about two cups of tea, there was a knock on the door, and a voice outside said respectfully, "Lieutenant Lu, there is a son surnamed Han who asks to see you."
Lu Zhaoyi leaned sideways slightly, "Let him come in."
"Yes!"
Soon, a man in a white shirt walked very slowly, step by step, as if he was afraid of stepping on the dirty ground.
When he walked to the door, he happened to meet Lu Zhaoyi's eyes in the house.
At first, the man in the white shirt had a gentle face, but when he saw her, he was really stunned when he saw her pale.
"Seventh lady, you and I haven't seen each other for a long time, how can you look at me with such eyes?"
This person is the youngest Sanpin general in the Lingwu Army and the most trusted Han He of the Fifth Langya.
If you want to say that in the past, when she saw Han He, she would definitely treat each other well, but now, her eyes are blazing, and she seems to be a little impenetrable.
"General Han is here this time in response to Master Qu? Or the fifth?"
Hearing this, Han He smiled and said softly, "Master Qu, or the fifth lieutenant, is there a difference?"
This made her unable to answer.
"General Han, please come in."
"Okay." As he spoke, he was not polite, and stepped straight through the door.
"Seven Ladies, how are you doing these days?" As soon as Han He entered the door, he asked.
"Thanks to Your Majesty, I have such an idle errand, and the county order doesn't let me take over any affairs, and I'm doing pretty well in Shangluo." She replied indifferently, "General Han, what are the happy events recently?"
"Where is the joy?" Han He shook his head and smiled bitterly.
Lu Zhaoyi raised his eyebrows, as if he was quite surprised by his answer, "Isn't it a happy event? How did I hear that His Majesty intends to reuse you and make you a marquis, which is not a happy event?"
The two chatted without saying a word, and gradually chatted a little.
Soon, the sound of tea cups colliding sounded, and Lu Zhaoyi was sitting at the table making tea, and sent a cup of hot tea to the other party.
"General Han, please have tea."
"Hmm." Han He bowed his head and took the teacup, but he didn't drink it immediately.
His eyes always looked at Lu Zhaoyi, as if he wanted to see through the depths of her heart, and it seemed that he wanted to find that clue from her eyes.
Suddenly, he put down the teacup, his eyes full of doubts, "I don't think the Seventh Lady is quite right, what happened?"
As he spoke, his voice suddenly changed, and he looked at her solemnly, "You, did you also find Cheng Yang's ***?"
Lu Zhaoyi heard the word "also" clearly, and immediately raised his head with a smile on his face.
"So, fifth, he's also found? Let you deliver the message?"
"You're right." Han He let out a sigh of relief, his eyebrows slightly expanded, "Duke Chengyang is the uncle of Duke Heyang, not to mention that once, the ancestor of my Ling Kingdom was favored by him, it is normal for you to be suspicious of me and the other old departments of the Ling Kingdom." Z.br>
She didn't deny it, she admitted what she thought in her heart, and Han He was also very honest, which was the reason why she had this trust with the old department of Lingguo.
She did suspect that it was that old woman who was a cunning old fox and used the Guan Sergeant clan to create opportunities for him, but she believed enough for the fifth Langya.
But she couldn't be completely sure, so she informed Han He of the suspicions in her heart in advance.
She can only rely on guesses, plus her own inferences
, to dare to make such a judgment.
I also don't want him to misunderstand, let alone break the relationship with the fifth Langya, so through this meeting, Lu Zhaoyi just wants to be blunt.
Han He's gaze stayed on her face for a moment, and slowly retracted, "This trip, Han Mou came to Shangluo to inform you of the Taiwei's investigation these days."
"Oh? Please come on, General Han." Lu Zhaoyi couldn't help but put down the things in his hand, and instead, listened carefully.
"Before the establishment of Dayuan, the Duke of Chengyang lived in Hanzhong and Guanzhong for a long time, and he never asked about military politics, let alone before King Xianyuan expressed his judgment on the situation of the world. At this point, it gives outsiders the illusion that they don't care about the world."
Lu Zhaoyi has also heard of these things, but the more such people are, the more they can't guess their true thoughts.
Even if she is herself, she can only speculate whether they have different intentions, or whether they are secretly doing some scheme, and what is this scheme?
But no matter what, since Han He has already come, he is not in a hurry for the time being, and listen to him continue.
"Until that year, the two countries of Yuanling were merged, and the Duke of Chengyang settled in Gaoling in Fengyi County, and the original soldiers and horses of the Lingguo State were reorganized into the Lingwu Army and entered the Sili, and our contact with the Duke of Chengyang was interrupted, and the Taiwei never saw this person again, nor did he communicate with him. In this matter, your seventh lady can arrange for Piaoxue Lou to investigate."
"No, I can trust you." Lu Zhaoyi smiled and replied, "Just now you have been arguing about your relationship with Cheng Yanggong, but fifth, how did he suspect Cheng Yang's ***?"
"It's the Academy!" Han He's eyes moved slightly, "Guan Middle School Palace, here, there are too many doubts."
Hearing this, a flash of struggle flashed across her face.
As far as she knew, Jiangzuo's Feng family, Huainan County's Qin family, Nanyang County's Shi family, Song family, and many generals in the counties of Bingzhou, all had children who had enrolled in the Guanzhong Middle School Palace, and there were many people from poor families who held important positions in Dayuan.
But Han He's words also made her a little shaken.
"You know, Taiwei and Chengyang Gong have a very good relationship, but it doesn't mean that Taiwei is the same as those mediocre people. If Chengyang Gong really did something unseemly, Taiwei personally promised that he would never spare it."
He was serious and indignant.
Lu Zhaoyi listened, and a smile appeared on his face, "General Han, Qi Niang also said that you can trust the fifth, you don't have to explain all the time, it makes me really suspicious of the fifth."
With the fifth style of acting, and the skill of strategy, why would he make such a big detour and plan such a plan full of loopholes?
With some thought in her heart, she stood up and walked towards the door, looking calm.
Outside the door, in the courtyard, flowers and plants grow buds, and some stamens gradually bloom, fragrant and melodious, lush and fragrant.
She stretched her waist and let out a lazy tone, "It's been almost a year since Your Majesty ascended the throne, and there are some things that should be out of the water."
"What the Seventh Lady said is ...... What do you mean?"
She looked back and smiled, blooming like flowers in the courtyard, like a spring breeze.
"General Han is a smart man, so I don't need to say it too clearly." She walked a few steps slowly, gently, and stood two steps away in front of Han He.
"I guess, the fifth he is not in the capital at the moment, let alone in Sili, but in Nanyang County. Right?"
Han He's face was solemn, full of puzzlement, "Seventh lady, how did you guess?"
"Not only do I know that he is in Nanyang at this time, but I also know that in a few days, he will pass through Wuguan and enter Shangluo."
"Yes, yes!" Hearing this, he couldn't help but be a little discouraged, "It's not a secret, this time I came to find the Seventh Lady, and I was also entrusted by the Fifth Lieutenant to invite you to go to Danhe Pavilion in Shang County to talk about it."
"Good!" Lu Zhaoyi replied indifferently, "I will explain some things in the past few days, and I will go with you to see the fifth, General Han will live in the mansion for a few days, and Qi Niang still has something to do, so I will go first."
After saying that, she left without looking back.
Han He froze in place, looking at the slender back, his mind was in turmoil
, Immediately, a few hints of joy appeared on his face.
It was night, the weather in Shangluo in early spring was still a little cold, and Lu Zhaoyi was lying on the bed, tossing and turning all night.
The next morning, before dawn, she slipped out of the room quietly.
Last night, she sat at her desk all night, constantly recalling in her mind about Cheng Yanggong, and trying to find any flaws in it.
Unfortunately, she never succeeded.
It wasn't until breakfast on the second day that she got a message out of Han He's mouth that Cheng Yanggong had been in frequent contact with several county officials recently, and it seemed that he was discussing something with someone.
In the afternoon of the same day, the Tangkou of Lantian County in Piaoxue Building sent a message.
After she read it, she gave it to Han He without any scruples, and after both of them read the contents of the letter, they were silent for a while.
The letter has already indicated that the emperor personally invaded Wannian County and found 30 million stone of grain, which can fully meet the rations of millions of people for a year.
Now, the emperor has taken the grain in his hands, and sent an army to transport it back to Luojing, and then intends to distribute the grain to the states and counties.
However, according to previous records, the four counties of Longxi and the four counties of Guanzhong have a total of more than 30 million acres of land.
According to the yield per mu and the average number of five stones, the amount of grain stored in Wannian County only accounts for one-fifth.
Then it is not Wannian County, there should be hidden grain in other places.
Perhaps Xia Pei also knew this, and the letter said that he did not withdraw his troops, but continued to march towards Feng Yi County City and Gaoling City.
On the other hand, it was written that the price of grain for the gentry in Guanzhong had fallen to the lowest point, and Chengyang Gong and those grain merchants were trying to find a way to raise grain.
Finally, it was also written that the son of Chengyang Gong was captured by Xia Pei in Wannian County and was on his way back to Beijing.
Lu Zhaoyi's face was extremely gloomy, but a complicated feeling surged in his heart.
"Seven Ladies."
Hearing the voice, she immediately came back to her senses and raised her head to look at Han He.
"In this way, everything is going well on Your Majesty's side, I don't know when the Seventh Lady will set off with Han and go to the Danhe Pavilion?"
"There's no hurry."
Lu Zhaoyi stretched out his hand, took back the letter in his hand, and threw it into the brazier, and suddenly, the flames jumped, and within a few breaths, the letter turned into ashes.
"How many more days?" She sighed, "I'm still waiting for someone, and as soon as that person appears, I'll go with you to the Danhe Pavilion and go to the fifth appointment."
