Jin Yu paused and sighed: "Fourteen is a little too small, two years younger than Zhao Ni! It's inappropriate, it's inappropriate!"
"Zhao Ni?" Chu Yiqing was startled and said with a smile, "Why do you want to propose marriage to Liu Yi?"
Jin Yu nodded: "Brother Zhao went to Zhaojiatun that day and said that he met Zhao Ni from his eldest brother's family. She is very honest and wanted to find a family in our village. You also know Ma's temper.
There are no villages nearby that don’t know about her family, so it’s not easy to find a good family for Zhao Ni, but Zhao Ni’s child is still nice, hard-working, and doesn’t talk much, but her mother has delayed her!”
"Then you think of Liu Yi?" Chu Yiqing couldn't help laughing, "Liu Yi is much younger than Zhao Ni. Even if they are about the same age, I'm afraid he won't agree! He hasn't thought of this yet.
!”
Jin Yu smiled and said: "I'm just asking casually. In fact, although I feel sorry for Zhao Ni's child, I will also have a headache if Zhao Ni is really married. In the future, if Zhao Ni enters this hospital, then Ma will not be able to do it all day long."
Are you looking for an opportunity? She wants everything in this house when she sees it, so why don’t I just watch her do it all day long? Ma is not as reasonable as Shandan’s mother. How long have you seen Shandan’s mother live here?
God, I always help with some work. In fact, she and Gazi Niang are busy enough taking care of Shandan and the children!"
While Chu Yiqing was chatting with Jin Yu, she went to pick up a shovel under the eaves. She hadn't visited those vegetable fields for a long time. Today she planned to have hot pot, and she happened to go to the fields to cut the vegetables herself, so that the food would be more delicious.
"Sister, you want to go to the fields? Then I'll go with you!" Jin Yu also picked up a shovel and followed behind. She was still thinking about Zhao Ni's affairs. In fact, Jin Yu is such a person.
I told Zhao Xiaomai that I didn't want to help Zhao Ni, but I thought that Zhao Ni's child was considered a good child and would be really ruined in Ma's hands, so I was moved. She is such a person. Once I thought about it,
I just can't let go of the matter, and I have to resolve it as soon as possible before I can give up.
Chu Yiqing smiled and nodded. He looked back at A Bao who was looking at the newly made flower pots and said, "A Bao, stop looking and go to the fields with Mom. Mom will teach you how to grow vegetables!"
Abao responded happily and immediately stepped forward to hold Chu Yiqing's hand. Zhang San drove the carriage, and the four of them went out happily.
The setting sun on the horizon was red, reflecting half of the sky. A Bao sat on the carriage and looked at it. He raised his little head and couldn't help but ask: "Mom, what is that? It's so beautiful!"
Chu Yiqing smiled and said: "It's the sunset. The sunset is infinitely better. It's just near dusk. You've read that!"
Abao said: "I know it's the sunset, but I'm asking why the sunset is red? Isn't the sun white when it's hanging in the sky? It's very dazzling. Mother, you still said you wouldn't let me see it!"
Chu Yiqing smiled and said: "This is because at sunrise and sunset, the light we see is not directly emitted by the sun, but the earth turns to the side of the sun, and the sun's brightness shines obliquely, and because it has to pass through a long distance
The thick atmosphere, air molecules, water vapor and impurities cause a large amount of blue-violet and ultraviolet light in the sun to be scattered, while the red and orange long-wavelength parts are not scattered much. Therefore, when the long-wavelength light, especially red, is irradiated to the lower atmosphere, the long-wavelength light, especially the red
If there is an absolute majority of light, it looks red!"
A Bao is young, so naturally he won’t understand it, but Chu Yiqing hopes to teach A Bao these things from an early age. Children can learn anything anyway! Maybe they can also learn English!
Jin Yu immediately shouted: "Oh, sister, what are you talking about? Why can't I understand a word of it?"
Abao also pouted aggrievedly: "I don't understand either!"
"You baby, you are still young. It is normal that you don't understand. If I still don't understand... To be honest, I have read a lot of books these days, and Mai Xiang often brings books back from the town.
"Why don't you have what you just said?" Jin Yu looked like he was diligently seeking knowledge.
Chu Yiqing laughed: "Of course it won't be in those books, Sister Jinyu, I'm just teasing A Bao, you still take it seriously!"
Jin Yu then laughed out loud, and several people chatted and laughed, and soon arrived in the field.
Although the weather is warm now, the meadow still has to be pulled up at night, so when work was about to end in the evening, Sun Mingfa led his people to pull up the meadow. While he was busy, he saw a carriage coming all the way, and thought it was
The people who came to buy groceries hurried over, but they didn't expect it was Chu Yiqing and Jin Yu.
"Miss Chu, Mrs. Zhao, why are you coming to the fields so late?" Sun Mingfa hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "But do you have any other instructions?"
Chu Yiqing smiled and said: "No, I just thought about eating hot pot tonight, and my hands were itchy. I want to cut some vegetables for myself to eat. You can just be busy with your business and don't worry about us!"
Sun Mingfa responded quickly and continued to direct the guys to work.
A Bao rarely came to the vegetable field before, but now he looked at the neat vegetable beds, especially the green cucumbers, purple eggplants, and red tomatoes hanging on the brackets. He felt particularly rare and happily sat on the ridge.
Running around, Chu Yiqing stood watching and couldn't help but smile. He asked A Bao not to talk nonsense, while digging vegetables casually. He felt very happy when he saw that the vegetables all over the ground were grown by himself.
happiness.
Chu Yiqing dug up a cabbage, some rapeseed, spinach, etc., and also picked a big winter melon, and also got some chrysanthemum and coriander. Jin Yu said that he was here to help pick vegetables, but he stood on the ground talking to Sun Mingfa.
, I thought I wanted to see if there were any suitable candidates among the people working here.
It was getting late. Chu Yiqing saw Jin Yu leaving. As soon as he got in the car, he teased: "Sister Jin Yu, you really look like a matchmaker!"
Jin Yu sighed: "That's all, I don't have to worry about this anymore. I can't take care of this big family!"
Jin Yu nodded, most of these long-term workers are from Shangjia Village, and some from several nearby villages. They are famous young people in several villages, and with Chu Yiqing, they are even more popular. Now
This area has long been occupied by all the golden matchmakers in the village, and they have all met their wives. Jin Yu doesn’t want to have any conflicts with the golden matchmakers over Zhao Ni’s affairs. Although the golden matchmakers don’t dare to do so now, but she opens her mouth
It's better to be careful. After all, there are three children at home. Living in the countryside, it would be bad if her reputation is ruined!
"You shouldn't worry about things like matchmaking. If you agree, the couple will be happy. If you don't agree, people will complain!" Chu Yiqing said in a calm voice, and ordered Zhang San to go back to the house——
The dishes are almost ready!
"Yes!" Jin Yu nodded, she didn't want to help, but Zhao Xiaomai always mentioned this matter at night. For so many years, Zhao Xiaomai didn't ask for anything, but she wanted to satisfy him on this matter!
Liu Yi sat on the kang in his room and looked around. In the past, this time was when Liu Gan was sleeping and preparing to have dinner and go on night patrol, but now the room was deserted and the sun had already fallen on the kang. A layer of ash.
After picking up the broom and sweeping the lumps a few times, Liu Yi sighed. He didn't know where his eldest brother was now. Can he take care of himself alone?
"Brother Liu Yi, are you back?" Mai Xiang jumped in. When he saw the scene in the room, he immediately rolled up his sleeves and began to clean. While cleaning, he said: "Brother Liu Yi, you go out first, and then come in later. I will take a moment." It’s just cleaned!”
Liu Yi quickly stepped forward to grab the broom and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's just a layer of dust, just slap it twice and it'll be fine!"
But Mai Xiang insisted, "That's also ashes. Don't worry, I'll clean it for you when you don't come back!" Then she pushed Liu Yi out the door.
Liu Yi knew his identity, and Mai Xiang was also the young lady of this family. How could he ask her to help him clean the room? He immediately went to find a broom outside the door, and the two of them started cleaning together.
The room is not dirty, just sweep it a few times and take out the quilt to shake it around. You can still bask in the sun before it goes down.
Sitting on the kang with only a broken mat, Mai Xiang couldn't help but look at Liu Yi, but after not seeing him for more than a month, Liu Yi seemed to be a lot darker, taller, and looked a lot more mature.
"What are you looking at?" Liu Yi was a little embarrassed by Mai Xiang's gaze. He touched his face and asked, "Is there any dust on your face?"
Mai Xiang quickly shook her head and said with a smile: "I think Brother Liu Yi seems to have matured a lot. He has indeed gone out to see the world!"
Liu Yi lowered his face in embarrassment, "Thanks to Miss Chu's trust, everything in Luo Guo went smoothly... Did Miss Chu's studies go smoothly?"
Mai Xiang nodded: "I originally wanted to take the scholar examination, but my aunt was afraid that my identity would be exposed, but I said that I would ask Yingrun to follow me this time and teach me how to practice swordsmanship and how to behave!"
Liu Yi lowered his head and whispered: "Miss Chu naturally planned it for the young lady!"
Mai Xiang nodded: "Yes, look at how busy Sister Xu Zhi is now at home and outside the house. She is like a housekeeper and knows everything. I envy her. I look forward to growing up quickly so I can help my aunt!" "
"Miss Chu will definitely be very happy to know what the young lady is thinking!" Liu Yi whispered again.
Mai Xiang pouted and asked: "Brother Liu Yi, when I come back this time, why do I feel that you are not as lively as before? You are also rigid when talking to me? Are you tired?"
As Mai Xiang spoke, he stepped forward with concern. Liu Yi smelled the cream on Mai Xiang's body when he was so close. He couldn't help but blush, and quickly stood up and said, "Miss, there are fish in the car. , I have to go release the fish!" After saying that, he stood up immediately, lowered his head and ran out.
Mai Xiang frowned aggrievedly, thinking: "Brother Liu Yi must be unfamiliar with me after not seeing me for more than a month!"
Liu Yi hurried to the front yard. At this time, almost all the things in the car were unloaded, except for the four buckets of small fish. Liu Yi quickly drove the car himself and delivered them to Li Laoer.
Naturally, some preparations were needed to release the fry. Li Laoer quickly called for Yudou to come and help, and Liu Yi stayed behind. The three of them worked all evening and went back when it got late.
When we returned to the house, the hot pot had already been served on the table, the dishes had been washed and prepared, and we were waiting for Liu Yi to come back.
"Miss Chu, I'm just a servant. To ask you to prepare so much, I'm really..." Liu Yi said gratefully.
Chu Yiqing smiled and said: "It's just a meal. We need to eat anyway. I will go to Lucheng in a few days. There are not many days left with everyone, so let's just think of it as a get-together!"
Upon hearing this, Jin Yu asked: "Sister, are you leaving so soon? You've only been back for a few days!"
Chu Yiqing said with a smile: "I will leave when Liu Fu and the others come back to report on the situation of sweet potatoes. Anyway, after coming back for a while, I feel relieved that both the home and the fields are in order. After all, I am here under the emperor's orders."
I have been away from Lucheng for a long time, and I am afraid of causing unnecessary trouble!"
Mrs. Huangfu first put the meat in the pot and rinsed it and nodded: "It's better to go back early so that you don't have to worry about things over there. Anyway, there are Jinyu and Xu Zhi at home to watch, so it's not a big deal!"
Chu Yiqing nodded, "But I have to collect the food before leaving. This is also a big deal!"
"We'll start collecting tomorrow!" Jin Yu nodded while eating.
Liu Yi also nodded and said: "I'm back just in time and can help! The ship won't leave until twenty days later!"
Chu Yiqing was startled and asked: "Why does it take so long? Isn't it always once every half a month?"
Liu Yi shook his head, "I don't know either. Moreover, Mr. Lan has not personally escorted the ship these few times he has gone to sea. To be precise, he has not come back since he went to Luo Country with us last time. Maybe there is something wrong with Luo Country's business."
What’s the problem!”
"You worked with the shopkeeper, didn't you notice anything?" Chu Yiqing became more and more aware that Lan Yi might have encountered something.
"There seems to be a point. I asked Mr. Lan several times, and shopkeeper Yu said that Mr. Lan was not here and was not working, as if there was something shameful!" Liu Yi thought for a while and said.
Chu Yiqing frowned, thinking of the burning of the treasury in the Li Kingdom Palace not long ago. Could Lan Yi be related to this matter?
"Sister, eat quickly, the food is rotten!" Jin Yu was busy picking up food for Chu Yiqing.
Chu Yiqing nodded and took the dish without thinking too much.
In the capital city, at Shangguan's residence, Murong Leng, Situ Nan, Gong Yuche and Helianzhuo all sat coldly with gloomy faces, seemingly dissatisfied with Shangguan Yunyi who was sitting on the main seat.
"My dear nephew, you mentioned this half-year period. It has been three months now, why is there no movement at all?" Situ Nan spoke first.
"Situ Nan, it seems that you are not the one who is anxious. Now Situ Yu'er and Gong Yuying are already noble concubines, and they are the two most favored masters in the palace. Your Situ family and Gong Yu family are protected by noble concubines. Listen.
He said business has been going very smoothly recently!" Murong sneered coldly.
Gong Yuche immediately raised his eyes, pointed at Murong Leng and said: "Murong Leng, when it comes to this bargain, you should be the one who earns the most, right? I heard that you are happy to fill the house. You have married more than a dozen people over the years.
None of the women made any movement, but why did this Chu Yuan make a movement as soon as he entered the door? I told you to be careful, don't raise a child for someone else without even knowing it!"
Murong Lengqi's face turned pale. He stood up and pointed at Gong Yuche and cursed: "What nonsense are you talking about? Gong Yuche, you have been targeting me for so many years and now you still say such ugly things. What is your intention?"
?”
"Okay, okay, please stop arguing. What happened?" Helianzhuo quickly came out to smooth things over.
"What happened? Don't you know?" Murong Leng pointed the finger at Helianzhuo again, "You are always smiling, but who knows that you are the most vicious person behind the scenes, desperately trying to win over Shangguan Yu, do you want to be the helmsman?
Someone’s son-in-law?”
As soon as these words came out, Shangguan Yunyi's face darkened.
"What nonsense are you talking about? You said that your business was disrupted, while the Gongyu family and the Situ family's business were going smoothly. You are not convinced and want the leader to give an explanation and call us all together. How did you end up here?" He
Lian Zhuo blinked his eyes a little guilty.
"Okay, stop arguing. Now that the imperial court is strictly guarding our five major families, I will naturally find a way!" Shangguan Yunyi said coldly.
Before Shangguan Yunyi finished speaking, he heard a sneer outside the door and thought: "Cousin, your idea is not to cooperate with Luo Guo and continue to collaborate with the enemy, right?"
Shangguan Yunyi's face turned pale, and he looked coldly at Shangguan Yu who entered the door.
"How did you get in?" Shangguan Yunyi said coldly.
"I brought him here!" Helianzhuo stood up with a smile, "He said that for the sake of a temporary victory, you, the helmsman, even burned down the treasury at night with spies from the Luo Kingdom. Is this true?"
Shangguan Yunyi's face turned pale and he looked at Shangguan Yu coldly, "Do you believe what he said?"
Helianzhuo smiled and said, "It's because of disbelief that I came to Shangguan Yu to confront the helmsman! Shangguan Yu said that you, the helmsman, told him proudly and personally, and you also told us a few days ago,
The imperial court will soon compromise, isn’t that the case?”
"Helianzhuo, you're helping someone before they marry your daughter? Don't forget that although both of them are named Shangguan, Shangguan Yu is not a direct descendant. The only person in charge we want to follow is Shangguan Yunyi!"
Noila Mo stood up and said coldly.
"I'm not helping anyone. I just don't want to be scolded. We fight against the imperial court because the imperial court won't give us a way to survive. We fight for the rights we deserve. But if someone really collaborates with foreign countries, this is a shame for our ancestors.
Yes!" Helianzhuo's eyes darkened and he said coldly.
The expressions of Gong Yuche and Situ Nan also changed. Although the court did not dare to do anything to them now, it was just because they had no reason. If they didn't open a shop or do business, it couldn't be a reason to confiscate their homes, right? But if Shangguan Yunyi really took the risk,
With access to foreign countries, not to mention the eternal infamy, I am afraid that the lives of thousands of people in the five major families will not be saved!
"Xiannephew, you can't really do this, can you?" Gong Yuche and Situ Nan's expressions changed. They have people in the palace, so they naturally know more about the affairs in the palace. The emperor's treasury was burned last time.
Although the matter was suppressed, the problem was already explained by the fact that the court began to collect grain on a large scale!
Shangguan Yunyi's eyes darkened. He originally thought that burning the treasury would be enough of a blow to the court to make the court compromise with the five major families. Who knew that Cheng Yaojin would appear on the way and ten thousand acres of sweet potatoes would destroy his carefully arranged plan?
Game!
"My nephew, if you don't speak, is it because..." Gong Yuche and his disciple Nan looked at Shangguan Yunyi in shock, "My nephew, do you want all four of our families to follow you and finish?"
Helianzhuo immediately added insult to injury: "Yes, because of your decision, thousands of people in our four families have not done business for more than a year, and their wages are still paid. Do you know how much money you will lose this year? You are the one who said you will definitely win.
, you will recover the losses of more than a year in the future, but now? This is what you have been thinking about? Let Brother Shangguan come out. Although Brother Shangguan has retired and is only involved in worldly affairs, since you, my nephew, sit in this position,
If it cannot benefit our five major families, we should elect another helmsman!"
As soon as Helianzhuo said this, Gong Yuche and Situ Nan also nodded. Only Murong Leng seemed to have other ideas.
"You!" Shangguan Yunyi's face turned pale with anger. At that time, he was just proud to show off to Shangguan Yu, but he didn't expect that he would dig his own grave!
"How many brothers are looking for me?" Shangguan Qifu was helped out by Ouyang Xuan.
Shangguan Yunyi stood up immediately and looked at Ouyang Xuan displeased: "What are you doing? Why did you disturb the old man to rest?"
Shangguan Qifu was supported by Ouyang Xuan and sat on the main seat. He slowly waved his hand: "Yi'er, don't blame Xuan'er. If it weren't for Xuan'er, I wouldn't have known you had done such a stupid thing! You
What the uncles said is right. No matter how the court treats us, we are the people of Li State after all. What you did really makes me so sad!"
Shangguan Yunyi raised his head and said harshly: "Dad, it's just a few hundred thousand kilograms of grain. As long as the emperor is willing to let us go, we will naturally supply him with those hundreds of thousands kilograms of grain! We have been fighting with the imperial court for so long, and it's time to resolve it."
Otherwise, if the fight continues like this, the one who gets the biggest advantage is not the other countries that are eyeing it with eager eyes? Although this is a risky move, it is the best move that can be made at the moment!"
Shangguan Qifu slapped the back of the chair hard and said, "Asshole, you've done something wrong and you still refuse to admit it. Do you know where you went wrong?"
Shangguan Yunyi lowered his head and stopped talking.
"Brother, originally you were in disobedience and we brothers didn't want to disturb you, but now that things have come to this point, brother, please come up with an idea and tell us what to do about this matter!" Murong Leng stood up and said loudly.
.
Although Shangguan Qifu has not been in office for many years, the heads of the four major families have an extraordinary relationship with Shangguan Qifu. Now, no matter what their dissent, they still want to sell it to Shangguan Qifu. So Gong Yuche and Situ
Nan Ye nodded, while Helianzhuo continued to laugh and laugh, as if he had not caused the incident just now.
"Yu'er, you are from the Shangguan family, and now you stand up to testify against everyone. You must have some ideas. Why don't we take this opportunity to talk openly and honestly!" Shangguan Qifu raised his eyes and looked at Shangguan Yu coldly.
.
Shangguan Yu cupped his fists and said: "Uncle, my nephew doesn't want to get anything. It's just that my cousin is unjust, so my nephew will do it...and collaborating with the enemy is a serious crime. My nephew just doesn't want to watch my cousin make the same mistake again and again."
That’s all!”
Shangguan Qifu smiled slowly: "Your father and I have been mentors for eight generations. Although your father died early, you went to Chu Han when you were very young and suffered a lot there. The child Yi'er
It is true that you are a little impulsive in doing things, but this cannot be the reason for you to seek this position at the helm!"
Shangguan Yu's face darkened, and he raised his head and said, "Since my uncle said that Shangguan Yu is also a descendant of the Shangguan family, then Shangguan Yu has the responsibility to plot for the Shangguan family. Shangguan Yu thinks that his cousin's decision was wrong at the beginning, and now it is close to
In one and a half years, under the leadership of my cousin, the five major families have reached the end of their rope. If this continues, we will automatically disintegrate without the court taking action!"
"Okay, okay, you have grown up after all!" Shangguan Qifu sneered.
Shangguan Yu apologized: "Thank you uncle for the compliment!"
Murong Leng stroked his beard: "Brother Shangguan, you are our eldest brother. We brothers have always been as close as brothers. But this time, don't blame me, Helianzhuo, for not giving you face. The key is that there is really no way. Our family
Thousands of people up and down, all need to eat? If normal operations are not restored on this day, we will lose thousands of taels of silver in one day. How much money is this year? Brother Shangguan, don’t you know? Above the five major families
Headed by the Guan family, the Shangguan family has a strong foundation and can withstand such a torment, but our four major families have a weak foundation and cannot withstand it. Brother, please be fair!"
Shangguan Qifu nodded: "What you said makes sense. We are businessmen. We don't open the door for business on this day. This shop and people all need money. But Yi'er did this because the court was too tight.
, to weaken the power of our five major families, do you also want to be controlled by the imperial court?"
Gong Yuche stood up and said: "Brother, who wants to be controlled by others? I am a meritorious minister of our five major families who followed the founding emperor to build the country. The current emperor is doing this, yes, it is ungrateful, but the emperor is the emperor after all, not today
, Even in the past few decades or hundreds of years, the imperial court will deal with our five major families sooner or later. This has always been the case! The decision made by nephew Yun Yixian at that time, we old guys also agreed, but
The current situation is that we can no longer withstand it! When will it end if this continues? Now that the imperial court is interested in peace talks, it would be better to..."
"No, absolutely not. Once this step is taken away, our five major families will be exploited by the imperial court until even our bones are left!" Shangguan Yunyi immediately stood up and objected loudly!
"Then if we continue fighting like this, what do you think will be left?" Situ Nan also stood up and said.
"Four good brothers, you are excited first. Yi'er, please stand aside and don't say much!" Shangguan Qifu said in a deep voice and couldn't help coughing twice.
Shangguan Yunyi immediately stepped forward and patted Shangguan Qifu's back with concern.
Shangguan Qifu finally stopped coughing, and then he said: "Four brothers, we are about to be unable to support ourselves, and the court will soon be unable to support us. Even though my old man has been living in seclusion in the house for a while, his eyes are not blind and his ears are not deaf.
We still know what the situation is now. The Luo Kingdom has already been eyeing the Li Kingdom for a long time. At this time, as long as there is a slight change in the Luo Kingdom, the emperor will not be able to hold on. How about this, let's gather the power of the five major families and gamble again. How about
?”
Shangguan Qifu's words naturally made some sense. Although Gong Yuche and the others wanted to surrender on the surface, they naturally understood what would happen if they surrendered to the court, so they looked at each other and asked in a low voice: "What does eldest brother mean...
…”
Shangguan Qifu raised his eyes and glanced at Shangguan Yu, and said with a smile: "Yu'er, my uncle has something important to do today, so he won't let you eat. Yi'er, send your cousin out. Remember, be polite."
,do you know?"
Shangguan Yunyi's eyes darkened, he agreed coldly, stepped forward and said, "Let's go!"
Shangguan Yu smiled faintly and saluted Shangguan Qifu: "Uncle, farewell!"
Shangguan Qifu nodded lightly.
As soon as Shangguan Yunyi came out of the hall, he stopped coldly and looked back at Shangguan Yu: "I'm afraid it's not that easy for you to get the position of helmsman!"
Shangguan Yu smiled lightly and said: "It's actually not difficult! It's just that the time has not come yet!"
"Shangguanyu, you are very confident. Don't forget that you have no supporters in the Shangguan family. Do you think that as Helianzhuo's son-in-law, he will help you?" Shangguan Yunyi said bitterly.
"I never said I wanted to marry Helian Bingshuang. If I want to impress Helian Zhuo, there are other ways. You also know that Helian Zhuo is an old fox. What he wants is not as simple as being the head of the Helian family!
"Shangguanyu smiled slowly.
"What are you planning on?" Shangguan Yunyi was vaguely angry.
"You will know soon, cousin! Now my uncle has even bought his old face. If you can't defeat the court this time, cousin, will you really fulfill your promise that day?" Shangguan Yu stared at Shangguan closely.
Yun Yi asked.
"What promise?" Shangguan Yunyi frowned.
"You forgot so soon? I'm afraid you forgot, but the four major families won't forget! Remember, there are still three months left!" Shangguan Yu smiled faintly and strode out.
Shangguan Yunyi looked at Shangguan Yu's back with a cold light in his eyes.
At this time, in the hall, Shangguan Qifu talked about his plan, and the other four people were all silent. Shangguan Qifu's idea was to burn the boat. If this thing failed, the five major families wanted to restore their previous status without the court taking action.
I'm afraid it will be difficult for Rongguang! But if you don't do this and really agree to the court at this time, then more than a year of persistence will be in vain. This is not a small sum!
Shangguan Qifu was not in a hurry, and asked Ouyang Xuan to pour him a cup of tea, and drank it slowly with his throat full.
"What do you think?" Gong Yuche couldn't hold it in any longer and discussed with Situ Nan in a low voice. In any case, the Situ family and the Gongyu family are now on the same boat, and their road to escape is bigger than any other family.
, and because of this, they have more considerations in their hearts!
Situ Nan whispered: "You and I should also understand that Concubine Yu and Concubine Ying seem to be favored now, but the honor and favor of the women in the palace are not just a word from the emperor? Now that the emperor wants something from us, he will naturally treat the two concubines
Even if we use our prodigal care and flattery, we will agree to our conditions, but once we submit to the imperial court, will the emperor still value us so much?"
Gong Yuche nodded. He naturally understood the reason why the women from the two families who had been sent to the palace had not been favored for so many years and were now favored all of a sudden.
Compared to Gong Yuche and Situ Nan, Murong Leng was much simpler. After all, Chu Yuan, who filled the house, had nothing to do with him. Women were just tools for him to vent, so he was the first to speak: "Brother,
I agree!"
Gong Yuche and Situ Nan also nodded: "Okay, let's do this, brother, we are risking our lives by doing this. If we really fail..."
Shangguan Qifu said solemnly: "When the time comes, I will ask Yi'er to hand over the position of helmsman. You have been with me for so many years. Since the leadership of the Shangguan family is not good, it is time to give up the position!"
As soon as Shangguan Qifu said these words, Helianzhuo laughed softly and said: "Okay, then it's a deal!"
Situ Nan immediately said: "Brother Helian, do you want to sit in this position or does your good son-in-law want to sit in this position?"
Helianzhuo's eyes darkened: "Situ Nan, what do you mean?"
"Okay, stop arguing. Since everyone agrees, let's do it immediately and catch the court off guard!" Shangguan Qifu said quickly.
The four of them then stopped and retreated.
Shangguan Yunyi entered the hall with a guilty look on his face: "Dad, I'm sorry that I make you worry about someone as big as me!"
Shangguan Qifu shook his head: "Actually, it's all because of my father's poor health. He has thrown such a heavy burden on you. You have worked hard over the years!"
"Dad, will they really go all out to do this?" Shangguan Yunyi still has doubts. After all, the five major families can no longer work together!
"Yes! Even if they don't look at me as an old man, they still think that this is the only chance for the five major families to turn around!" Shangguan Qifu couldn't help coughing twice more.
"Dad, go and have a rest!" Shangguan Yunyi quickly helped him up.
Shangguan Qifu nodded.
Three days later, food was extremely tight across the country. Even some individual vendors were harassed and did not dare to set up stalls. Liguo was suddenly deserted, with no one on the street and every household.
The doors were closed tightly, and at the same time, some larger grain stores, cloth stores, vegetable stores, and grocery stores were looted in one night. People in the Li country were panicked. After March, outbreaks broke out in several places one after another.
During the uprising, people had no money but nowhere to buy the necessary food and clothing. Suddenly, the people were filled with resentment.
On this day, Li Huang was about to leave for Chu Han, but unexpectedly he heard about this and entered the palace early the next morning.
In the morning, Li Li looked at the memorials sent from all over the country, and the headache that had just been relieved became severe again.
"Your Majesty, mass riots broke out in many places in Yuncheng, Mincheng, and Bailan City. Many shops were robbed. The situation is out of control. If this continues..." Liang Wen quickly went out to start the memorial.
"Where are the officers and soldiers? They raise troops for a thousand days and use them for a short period of time. Do these people only receive salary from the imperial court?" Li Li said coldly.
"Your Majesty, in fact, those people don't really want to rebel. After all, they are only grabbing some food, cloth and other things needed for food and clothing. Now more than half of the shops across the country are not open, and the ones that are open are threatened.
Dare not do business. People have no food and clothing, so they will naturally find ways. Now even if they have money, they can't buy anything! I heard that the price of food on the black market has increased to ten cents per pound, and it is difficult to buy it even like this.
, those cotton cloths also cost more than ten cents a batch, as well as firewood, salt, these daily necessities are all increasing in price, but even so, it is still hard to find!" Someone else stood up and complained.
"How could this happen?" Li Li asked in a deep voice. Originally, the imperial court had persisted for more than a year, and some shops had been able to barely maintain the people's expenses. How could it happen again...
"The troublemakers are all from the Jianghu. I'm afraid you have to ask the King of Chu to find out!" Liang Wen pointed the finger at Chu Zhantian.
Chu Zhantian hurriedly came out: "Your Majesty, although those people are from the Jianghu, they are not from decent families. There are people from all three religions and nine streams in the Jianghu. If everyone makes a mistake, it is my fault..."
Liang Wen said coldly: "King Chu, you are the leader of the martial arts alliance. These Jianghu people are out to cause trouble. If not King Chu, who are you looking for?"
Seeing that Li Huang kept silent, Li Li couldn't help but asked: "Huang'er, what do you think of this matter?"
Li Huang whispered: "Father, if the prediction is correct, the five major families must have run out of skills, so they would use such tactics to intimidate the imperial court!"
"Is it the five major families who did it again?" Li Li's eyes darkened.
"Report!" Suddenly, a guard shouted loudly outside the door.
"Come in!" Li Li quickly announced.
"Your Majesty, there is an urgent report coming from the border. Dai has said that all the Luo Kingdom has gathered troops on the border. It seems..." The guard stepped forward to report quickly.
"What?" Li Li's eyes darkened, this is the real internal and external troubles coming together!
"Where is the prince?" Li Li asked loudly.
"The prince is at the border of Dai State. Now that Dai has gathered his troops to march eastward, the prince has no choice but to lead his men to guard the border and does not dare to leave even half a step!" the guard replied quickly.
Li Li frowned tightly and asked, "Do you have any good ideas?"
Everyone looked at each other in confusion. At this time of internal and external troubles, who else has a good idea?
"Father, don't worry. There are crossbow teams at the borders of Dai and Luo. I believe that even if there is a real fight, Dai and Luo will not take advantage. What we need to do now is to first
The affairs of the five major families have been settled!" Li Huang quickly announced.
"Do you have any good ideas?" Li Li had already placed all his hopes on Li Huang.
Li Huang was also deep in thought. He was thinking of a perfect strategy that could solve the current siege and give Chu Yiqing what he deserved!
