Chapter Forty-Three: Making Up a Lie

After Jiang Xueyan stabilized her mood, she also followed Fang Huai into battle to kill the enemy.

I saw her hand up and down, just as her father had taught her since childhood, this was the first time she had killed someone, but she was not as scared and cramped as she imagined.

In the palace.

After Xie Wushuang learned of Xie Lanzhou's death. He rushed to the palace of the former emperor and the queen mother to ask for a visit.

"Father, do you know the whereabouts of my imperial brother?"

Xie Wushuang pretended to be worried and scared, which was really a good acting act.

In the eyes of the former emperor and the queen mother, Xie Wushuang played a good brother and a good son to the fullest, and he was already convinced of his character.

Coupled with Yu Youwei's daily companionship and care, Xie Wushuang was even more praised.

"What's wrong with you? Shuang'er, do you know the whereabouts of your royal brother? ”

The Queen Mother asked eagerly.

Although Huo Zhao had told them that Xie Lanzhou was safe and sound last time, he would not be relieved if he didn't see anyone after all.

"I've heard that my royal brother he... He was wounded by a hidden arrow, and his fate is unknown. ”

Xie Wushuang lowered his head as he spoke, his face sad and sad.

He can't directly say Xie Lanzhou's death, otherwise he won't be able to escape suspicion, saying that his life and death are unknown just wants to get rid of his relationship with himself.

After all, pretending not to know is not suspicious.

When the Queen Mother heard this, she immediately stood up, and her voice began to tremble slightly.

"What do you say? How is this possible, obviously General Huo said that he was fine a few days ago. ”

It's ridiculous! How is this possible! Huo Zhao said that he would protect him well. But Huo Zhao is now far away in the northwest, and it is absolutely impossible to find him to ask him clearly.

"Shuang'er, you can't talk nonsense, is this serious?"

The first emperor frowned and said, he was quite calm, after all, he was once the king of a country.

"Erchen planted many spies among the people, and they said that they saw the emperor's brother in Shaoyang and was stabbed several times by the assassins."

Xie Wushuang was full of sadness according to what Yu Shen had told him, and he didn't know how good the relationship between him and Xie Lanzhou was.

"Unless you see your royal brother's body, he is not dead."

The first emperor stabilized his mind and said. The Queen Mother was on the verge of fainting.

At this moment, the eunuch outside came to report.

"What! Northwest is extremely badly injured? How so! And also because of ordnance? ”

Xie Wushuang roared angrily.

This was something he had not expected, and the former emperor and the queen mother were also frightened. If the northwest can't be defended, then sooner or later the capital will be captured, and how can there be room for it at that time?

"Father, my son is willing to lead the troops to the northwest!"

Xie Wushuang knelt down and said, his face was awe-inspiring.

"Twins....you.."

Emperor Xu was a little surprised, he didn't expect that his son, who had always been unoptimistic about him since he was a child, would want to ask to lead troops to the battlefield at this time.

"Father, the situation is turbulent at this time, if you don't hurry up and lead the troops to the battle, I'm afraid you won't be able to convince the people, so the army's morale will not be stable."

Xie Wushuang's analysis was reasonable, so that the emperor should not say anything.

Now that the emperor's whereabouts are unknown, and the war in the northwest is raging, people are already panicking, and Xie Wushuang's method is the best of both worlds.

But leading the army to fight and excite people should have been the emperor's duty, and now Xie Wushuang's move is nothing more than the drunkard's intention not to drink.

I still want this throne.

"In this case, the father will no longer persuade you, and if you have this heart, I will rest assured."

As he spoke, he handed the token to Xie Wushuang.

This token can command the three armies, and the emperor originally handed him over to Xie Lanzhou, but because Xie Lanzhou felt that he didn't have the ability, he asked the emperor to keep it on his behalf.

Who would have thought that it would actually fall into Xie Wushuang's hands now.

And Xie Wushuang's heart at this time is self-evident.

"Don't worry, my father will investigate the ordnance and your imperial brother's affairs, so you can rest assured."

These words also reassured Xie Wushuang.

If it is found out that Xie Lanzhou is really dead, then this throne is really his own, and now that he has the token in his hand, what are he afraid of?

"The retainers obey!"

So, he took the token and set off to lead the army, ordered tens of thousands of soldiers, and brought good ordnance.

When the eunuch said that it was because of the ordnance, Xie Wushuang knew that he had nothing to do with Jiang Hanfeng, Yu Shen and others.

But, what does it have to do with yourself? If Yu Shen died, he would just be one of his own dogs.

Looking at the token in his hand and feeling the pleasure brought to him by power, Xie Wushuang was extremely happy.

Shaoyang County.

Yu Yaozhi and Xie Lanzhou came to Huacheng Village together, it is still early autumn, but this year's weather is colder than usual, no wonder the flowers will be frostbitten.

"This flower is so frozen that it can't be used."

Yu Yaozhi picked up the red flower and looked at it carefully.

But this means that they have no raw material origin, do they have to find a new source of supply? Needless to say, it takes time and effort to do so, and it shouldn't be possible to find such high-quality flowers.

"It would be nice to keep those words warm."

Xie Lanzhou nodded on the side and said, he already knew this result last time he came.

That's right, just keep the temperature up, and the flower can be kept at a constant temperature. Wait a minute! Keeping the temperature? Isn't that a greenhouse?

Yu Yaozhi was very happy when he thought of this. So he grabbed Xie Lanzhou's arm and smiled.

"I see! I know how to do it! ”

So he gathered a few of the best ones in the village and said his thoughts.

"Guys, I can build a greenhouse that can keep these safflowers at a certain temperature, so that they can be cultivated and they don't have to worry about frostbite."

Yu Yaozhi lowered his head and pondered for a while, thinking that there was a record in the "Book of Han" that he had read before.

Chang'an in the Han Dynasty was specially equipped with a vegetable greenhouse for the court, and the Book of Han wrote: "Taiguan Garden planted winter onions and leeks, covered with roofs, lit a fire day and night, and waited for the warmth to be born." ”

In the Tang Dynasty, the "inner garden" for the court to grow out-of-season fruits and vegetables created a temperature suitable for the growth of vegetables by introducing hot spring hot water.

The same should apply in this day and age.

"What do you want to do?"

Xie Lanzhou asked. If successful, it will undoubtedly be another innovation in this era.

Yu Yaozhi knew that there was no plastic film used in modern greenhouses in this era, only the temperature of the furnace or the cellar.

But now that the war is tense, the charcoal needed for the stove is more expensive than oil and salt, and so many safflowers need to be cultivated.

There is only a cellar left.

The method of digging pits and using ground temperature to promote germination and seedling cultivation was seen in a history book by Yu Yaozhi, and it should be applicable today.

"I want to dig the cellar."

Yu Yaozhi said what he thought.

"We have cellars, but they are all used to store food for the winter, how can we still raise flowers?"

One of the old men asked.
