Chapter Five Hundred and Twenty Seven: Evacuate the People
Bai Qingyan had not said a few words to her uncle just now. She didn't know if her uncle was in the study or not, and she couldn't go to find her uncle without permission. She was about to point to an old lady to ask her uncle at this time.
Whether I had time or not, I saw Xiao Cui, who had been waiting outside the courtyard for a long time, smiled and said and said respect to Bai Qing.
Bai Qingyan held Chuntao's hand and stepped out of the yard. He looked at the refreshed little Cui, and called her with a smile: "Sister Rong..."
"It was Changlan who asked me to wait for my cousin here. My father and Changlan were waiting for my cousin in the study. I was afraid that my cousin would not know the way, so I asked me to pick me up." Xiao Cui said, taking Bai Qingyan's way.
arm.
Chuntao quickly folded his hands in front of his lower abdomen, took two steps back, and followed Bai Qingyan.
However, when Madam Wang's niece Qiu Huan saw Chuntao retreating behind, she hurriedly stepped over Chuntao at a glance and stepped forward to hold Bai Qingyan's arm.
Bai Qingyan Yu Guang saw that there was a figure suddenly around him, and looked back and said, "I have not grown old yet, so I don't need to support me."
Qiu Huan blushed and said in a low voice that he had retreated again, but did not retreat back to his original position. Instead, he walked side by side with Chuntao, as if doing so could bring his identity to the position of Bai Qingyan’s close maid Chuntao.
Xiao Cui talked to Bai Qingyan all the way, and walked slowly along the nine-curve corridor with Xiangfei's bamboo curtain hanging down, and the journey seemed much shorter.
It was probably Dong Changlan who had given instructions, so Xiao Cui and Bai Qingyan stepped into the study gate, but were not stopped by the guards guarding outside the gate. Xiao Cui turned around and told his personal nanny not to follow in and guard outside the yard.
That's it.
Bai Qingyan also turned around and told Chuntao to wait outside too.
When Dong Changlan heard the movement outside the yard, he came out of the study room and smiled and bowed: "Cousin..."
Bai Qing said he would return the courtesy.
"Then my cousin and my father, Changlan first talks about the serious business. I will make some special snacks for my cousin. I told me before... But when I was in Shuoyang, I couldn't make them for my cousin to taste because of insufficient ingredients.
It's just right for my cousin to come this time!" Xiao Cui smiled and found an excuse, but he didn't want to stand there, which would prevent Bai Qingyan and her father-in-law from talking about business.
Although women's family generally do not participate in the important business outside the men's courtyard. However, in Shuoyang, Xiao Cui could understand that her cousin was not like them, and she was willing to live in the backyard.
of.
After Xiao Cui bowed, he smiled and stepped back, ordered people to guard the yard and not allow others to go in. He went to the kitchen to prepare snacks.
Dong Changlan personally opened the bamboo curtain of Xiangfei for Bai Qingyan and introduced Bai Qingyan into the study: "I have brought it to my father if my cousin asked me to bring it to me last time... But all the soldiers were worried that if they rashly evacuate the people, they might
It made the people in Dengzhou City panic."
When Bai Qingyan entered the door, Dong Qingyue was sitting in front of the desk, holding the memorial that was reviewed by the prince in his hand, and said something to the staff at the mansion, with a little tired expression. The sunlight shone in from outside the window frame, and dust was floating in the light.
Floating in the middle, a few silver threads can be seen between Dong Qingyue's hair.
Seeing Bai Qingyan coming in, Dong Qingyue raised her head and smiled, but did not interrupt her aides' words, and signaled Bai Qingyan to sit aside.
The strategist paused, and seeing that Dong Qingyue did not interrupt him, he continued: "The silver sent by the lord is just a drop in the bucket. He can only take care of the disabled and unable to work for the years to guard Shuoyang.
Soldiers, but the emperor's construction of the palace and short-term military food and supplies in Dengzhou has already made the army dissatisfied."
Dong Qingyue frowned and nodded: "I understand...you go down first!"
The strategist then stood up and bowed to Dong Qingyue, and then bowed to Dong Changlan and Bai Qingyan. He could vaguely guess what Bai Qingyan's identity was.
Although the strategist had never seen the female family members in the Dong family, Dong Qingyue could let the female family members who entered the important place of this study, besides the old lady Dong and his wife, there was probably only that niece left... The princess of Zhenguo Bai Qingyan
.
Dong Changlan personally poured tea for Bai Qingyan, sat down beside Bai Qingyan, and then Bai Qingyan asked directly: "Uncle, what I asked Changlan to say last time, I don't know what uncle hesitated? Uncle,
...and there is a glimmer of hope for the court?"
Dong Qingyue sighed softly, nodded, and handed the note in his hand to Bai Qingyan: "Look at it! This is the reply from the prince just received...."
From before Dong Changlan went to Dengzhou to now, Dong Qingyue has connected more than a dozen memorials... They are all sank to the sea, but who knew that someone would send the prince's reply at noon.
Bai Qingyan opened his eyes and saw that the prince’s meaning was very simple, saying that Dong Qingyue made a big fuss. Now that the Rongdi civil strife is in chaos, the Southern Rong and Northern Rong are in a group. The Da Yan has clearly shown that he wants to help the Northern Rong restore orthodox rule.
Jin State was too late, so how could he have the courage to come to Dajin to make trouble? Could it be that Jin State and Dayan should work together to fight him, a small Nanrong?
As for the arrears of food and wages, the prince did not mention a word.
Bai Qingyan was not surprised by this result. This was indeed something the prince could do.
Bai Qingyan put the reply aside and looked at Dong Qingyue: "Now the court is full of people who are flattering, and they all learn to figure out the emperor and the prince's minds to do things! Otherwise... this would not have been deducted from military pay.
The repair of the palace for the emperor will happen! There will be no such thing as an uncle who will have more than a dozen or so pieces of stones sinking to the sea!"
"As long as the officials below see that the emperor is dissatisfied with his uncle's memorial, they will think of excuses for the emperor. No matter what civil strife in the south and north Rong are... they dare not provoke our Jin State! Or they are afraid that Jin State will attack with Da Yan State together!
Nanrong, most of these should be excuses for the court officials to figure out the emperor's intentions and make for the emperor. They would not even present the memorials behind their uncle to the imperial court."
As Bai Qingyan said, the first time he handed it over, Gao Demao saw the emperor glanced at him and threw it aside without giving any instructions, so he signaled him. Later, Dong Qingyue's comment never arrived again.
Before the emperor's imperial case.
Later, it was the emperor who asked the prince to start processing the memorials. Lu Xiang quietly sent the memorials to the prince again, hoping that the prince would make the case and persuade the emperor.
OK, who knew that after discussing with the officials, the prince gave Dong Qingyue such a reply.
Dong Changlan frowned and nodded in agreement: "My father has sent a spy to explore the movements of Nanrong. If there is any movement in Nanrong, come and report it immediately."
"My uncle should make plans early. Even if he doesn't do anything else, even if he is for the people of Dengzhou City, he should evacuate the people after the autumn harvest to prevent the Rongdi from attacking innocent people."
