Seeing the cotton flowers gradually changing from white to less white, with a faint tendency to turn red, Yun Chu and Liu Rengui decided to go home.
The cotton is growing well and a bumper harvest is just around the corner.
When the two of them entered the city, they happened to encounter the emperor's car heading to Jiucheng Palace. The city gate was blocked by an endless stream of escorts.
It wasn't until half a day later that they were released.
Both of them were model officials who were loyal to the public, and both had the integrity to stay away from home. Therefore, they did not go home, but went straight to their respective yamen.
Without Yun Chu, his official residence was occupied by Wen Wen. No matter where he went, Wen Wen would be overwhelmed by mountains of documents.
Yun Chu picked up the teapot and drank a meal, then asked Wen Wen, "Is there any great news recently?"
Wen Wenwen said without raising her head: "We have a new queen, does that count?"
"It doesn't count."
"Do you know that a bear actually knows how to save someone?"
"What did that bear do to deserve a reputation as a rescuer?"
"This time, you guessed wrong. He really saved me once, and even helped the emperor block a knife, a poisonous knife. He slept for three days before he woke up. Then, the emperor officially issued an edict, saying that the flower bear is an auspicious beast.
, From now on, the people of the Tang Dynasty are not allowed to capture or kill flower bears."
Yun Chu shrugged his shoulders and said: "Those things are too stupid, even if the emperor makes this decree, they will kill themselves.
Okay, this counts as one, are there any more?”
"Yes, the former queen Wang and the former concubine Xiao committed suicide because they practiced the art of hating victory in the palace and poisoned them.
Their relatives were sent to Lingnan and were not pardoned.
Then, the emperor issued an edict to celebrate the Tang Dynasty by choosing a virtuous queen to save the world. Except for the three major crimes, all other crimes were committed.
amnesty.
So, the prisons in prefectures and counties all over the country are empty, and people have begun to come forward to praise the Queen for her kindness and her motherly manner."
"Let me guess, I guess the first person to show up must be Li Yifu, right?"
Wen Wen looked at Yun Chu with disdain and said, "Wrong, the first one to come up is King Ji Li Shen."
Yun Chu licked his lips and said, "This guy is becoming more and more shameless."
Wen Wen added: "Of course, the last little thing worth mentioning is that His Majesty was assassinated. As you know, he was saved by a bear."
"Did Changsun Wuji attend the Queen's Ceremony?"
"No."
"Also, it's not easy for him to attend. If he does, people will criticize him for being inconsistent with his words and deeds. But if he doesn't attend, it doesn't actually matter, right?"
Wen Wen stood up from the pile of documents, first looked at Yun Chu, who was tanned by the sun, and said, "I think the problem is big. Two officials who did not attend the Queen's Ceremony were already unlucky. One of them took his whole family north to Yumen Pass.
Went to guard the borders of the Western Region.
Another one set out yesterday to take his whole family to Aizhou to teach the barbarians.
Changsun Wuji also wrote a poem in Baqiao: "Under the rustling wind leaves, there is a distant smoke scene. There is no drunken captain in Baling, who lags behind General Li."
It can be said to be a profound love and a profound sadness. I didn’t expect that the emperor would force Changsun Wuji’s poetic talent to come out in this way.”
Yun Chu held the teapot and said, "Isn't it bad for us to gloat about misfortunes like this? In fact, I really don't think Changsun Wuji meant to harm the Tang Dynasty.
Otherwise, he would not seek officials for his descendants and wealth for his clan."
"Bullshit, these tricks have been played out for thousands of years. I think back then, Wang Jian needed more than 60% of Qin's troops to defeat Chu. He was worried that the King of Qin would be worried, so he did this.
Later, people discovered that this trick worked very well. Regardless of whether they were loyal ministers or not, they all started to play this trick. Do you think the emperor would be fooled?
You know, our emperor is also a man who is familiar with scriptures and has a wealth of knowledge."
Yun Chu nodded and said, "It seems that people will become bad if they read too much."
Wen Wen threw over a thick stack of books and said: "As long as a person has finished reading these things, after reading them thoroughly, he will not have any confidence in the human heart. Therefore, if you read less, the human heart will be much happier."
Yun Chu nodded and said, "That's why I won't read it in the future."
Wen Wen laughed and said, "You are already bad enough. If you read it again, it will only affect how bad you continue to be."
Yun Chu laughed and said: "There is no limit to how bad a bad person can be, they can only get worse.
Okay, I came to the county government office just now just to show my loyalty to the government and the country. Now that the performance is over, I will go home to see my pregnant woman. She is about to give birth and is very squeamish now.
"
She said tenderly: "If you give birth to a daughter, remember to keep it for my son."
Yun Chu said angrily: "How can a tiger girl marry a dog?"
He looked at Yun Chu with a gentle and gloomy look and said: "My family is the second and third son of the family, and it is also a house of poetry and etiquette. If it weren't for the dislike of the dragon woman, which would ruin the family tradition, there would have been several military commanders attached to them long ago.
Now I want to marry your daughter because I care about you, and I don’t have to marry your daughter to my house. Just look at Naha and I will know that your ability to raise a daughter is not that good. I just want to see how you and I will be born.
After our children get married, will they produce offspring that are better than the two of us? Nothing else!"
"Go away, my daughter is a human being and she should live like a human being."
Yunchu walked out as he spoke, and suddenly heard Wen Wen said: "King Ji Li Shen is very uneasy recently, please tell Naha to stay away from him."
Yun Chu suddenly retracted his foot that had just stepped out of the threshold, looked at her gently and said, "Do you suspect it's Li Shen?"
Wen Wen said calmly: "There is no evidence, I can't find any evidence, but I just suspect that he did it." Hearing what Wen Wen said, Yun Chu turned around and went home.
The bay-red horse ran very fast on the empty street. When passing Yongningfang, Yunchu saw the tall man with a beard.
This man was extremely embarrassed. It looked like he had not taken a bath for a long time. In this hot weather, he was still wearing a sheepskin jacket. The smell was so bad that even flies seemed to be avoiding him.
The big man looked at Yun Chu blankly, and seemed to want to open his mouth to call out, but Yun Chu did not stop. The bay red horse passed him quickly and left without looking back.
The big man looked at Yun Chu's retreating back, lowered his head and sighed, then dragged his injured leg and walked forward step by step, feeling indescribable sadness.
When she got home, she saw that Naha's hair was covered with gold objects. She held back her temper and said, "Don't play with your sister-in-law's hair and jewelry, or you will be the one who suffers the consequences."
Naha pulled the golden steps on her head and said, "This is mine. I won it by guessing. My sister-in-law can't do anything to me."
Yunchu sneered and went to the back house.
Seeing the big-bellied woman at home leaning on the brocade couch and chewing sour apricots, he said to her: "How about it, have you shown off enough?"
Yu Xiurong sighed and said: "I only showed off half of it, but then I encountered the assassination of the emperor, and the original scene of stars holding the moon was gone.
Even if there is, it is still a big scene for someone else's queen, so what do you mean in it?"
Yu Xiurong sat up and straightened her chest, cleared her throat and said, "Even if I can't be a phoenix, being a peacock is more than enough."
Yun Chu opened her clothes and looked at her belly. Seeing that her child was sitting in her belly, he whispered to Yu Xiurong: "**
came back."
"Husband, are you going to see him?"
Yun Chu nodded.
This was something Yunchu didn't expect. He really didn't expect that the woman could actually survive the siege and interception by Lun Qinling.
When he saw him just now, Yun Chu thought he had seen him wrong, but this was not a good time to see him.
He is now a big trouble. From Yun Chu's point of view, it should be Yinggong Li Ji's trouble anyway, not his own.
Even if you want to see the emperor, you must first meet the British Duke. It is not too late to see him again.
After listening to her husband explain the story and the secrets involved, Yu Xiurong said: "He looks very depressed?"
Yun Chu nodded and said, "Very depressed."
Yu Xiurong shook his head and said: "It shouldn't be!"
"Are you saying that someone like him shouldn't end up like this?"
"No, the business of Yinggong's family is ranching and reclamation, especially the ranch in Ganzhou. I heard that the ranch covers an area of tens of thousands of acres, and there are many ministries.
Qu, his family and his family set up farmland, making full use of land and water, and harvested a good harvest of wheat. He became the largest grain merchant in Hexi.
If the emperor fled back from Tuyuhun, there would be countless British properties along the way from Ganzhou to Chang'an.
Even if he has been expelled from the house by his father-in-law, as the eldest grandson of the family, it is absolutely impossible for a down-and-out woman to appear in front of her husband, even if she relies on the friendship of the past.
Therefore, a great change must have occurred at Duke Ying’s place, and my husband should indeed go see Duke Ying first, and then consider whether to meet this woman.”
Seeing that the couple had similar views, Yun Chu washed his face at home and told Liu Yi to arrange to go down and find the man and keep an eye on him.
He hurried out again and came to the British Duke's house.
"My master doesn't see guests."
In the past, when I saw Yun Chu smiling like a flower, the housekeeper of the Li family pulled his face down today and realized how ugly this woman was.
"Please ask the housekeeper to report to the Young Master that Yun Chu has something important to discuss."
The butler couldn't hold back his face anymore, so he dragged Yun Chu to the door and said: "It's not that the little dog's face has become so fast, but because the Yinggong named him, Magistrate Yun
If it comes, throw it out.
Therefore, my master will not meet the county magistrate. How about you wait for a while and my master’s anger subsides and you can try again?"
After listening to the housekeeper's words, Yun Chu still didn't know what Li Ji meant. This time, Li Ji really wanted to expel his wife from the house.
What disgusted Yunchu the most was that he acted very, very ruthlessly, but asked Yunchu to be very, very affectionate towards her!
This is clearly the strategy of Li Daitao's stiffness in Sun Tzu's Art of War!
