657 Go to the Imperial Palace and Plead for Order!
"But I heard that your Goddess of Agriculture is going to be sent back to Chuhan!" The merchant frowned.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Why are you like this? Did our Miss Chu offend you or something?" Upon hearing this, the young man withdrew the tea that was placed in front of the merchant, turned around and poured it on the ground outside.
He went up and said angrily: "Don't drink this water, we won't entertain you!"
The merchant was startled, and when he was about to explain, he saw a woman in her forties approaching. She quickly stepped forward and scolded the young man: "Tian'er, what are you doing?"
The little boy said displeased: "Mom, didn't you hear what he arranged for Miss Chu? Miss Chu is kind to our whole village. If it hadn't been for Miss Chu, the wheat would have been contaminated with honey bugs, and all of us would have died that year."
starving!"
The woman quickly interrupted the young man and said, "Okay, mother knows what she's talking about. Stop talking. Go greet other guests and I'll ask!" [
The woman sent the young waiter in, and poured a new cup of tea for the merchant herself. She apologized and said: "My lord, please don't blame me. The child is ignorant and bumped into you. I didn't know that Miss Chu was going to divorce you."
What happened when you came back to Chu Han?"
The merchant looked the woman up and down and saw that she was dressed like a peasant woman in the countryside, so he asked: "According to what the young man just said, does Miss Chu have any kindness to your family?"
The woman smiled and said: "There is some kindness. It happened many years ago. At that time, my son and I were still in the countryside. There were honey bugs in the village. I heard that Miss Chu knew about it, so we went to find someone to help.
Who knew that the second son of the village chief was looking for an eldest brother of the family that Miss Chu claimed to be a relative? He was just a money swindler. Read the full text of the devil! Not to mention the money swindling, it really hurt us, and the wheat died in a big way.
!”
When the merchant heard this, he immediately became interested. He took a sip of tea and asked, "So, Miss Chu's treatment of you is not a favor, but an enmity!"
"Sir, please listen to me first. Later, our villagers gave up and went directly to Miss Chu's house in the previous village. Only when we went there did we find out that that person didn't know how to treat honey bugs at all. It was only the village chief of our village who saw it.
The man came out of Miss Chu's house and heard that he was a relative, so he had found the wrong person! Miss Chu was also unambiguous at that time and refunded a lot of money. Later, she even gave us potatoes to plant. That year was the second year of Chu Han.
Planting potatoes, potatoes are very valuable. Thanks to the blessing of Miss Chu, our village can grow potatoes for one year just as much as three or four years of harvest! People in the village are now rich!" The woman talked about the past time and looked at it.
He came out very nostalgic, with a smile on his face.
"So, your life in the village should be good. Why are you selling tea in the city? Sister-in-law, I don't look down on you selling tea, but because I heard that in Chuhan, it is not possible to grow vegetables for a year.
How little money!" The merchant quickly asked again.
The woman added a bowl of water to the merchant again and said: "Look, I didn't ask you just one sentence, but you asked me for a long time. It's okay. I'll just tell you. The man before me left from Sifang Village."
, I was doing small business outside. I was originally from this town and didn’t know how to farm, so I could only covet it. Later, my man passed away, so I returned to my parents’ home, and I have been living in the city.
Do some small business and make a living!"
The merchant then nodded and said: "So that's it! Then I understand!"
"Just tell me quickly. What's going on with Miss Chu's divorce and her return to Chu Han?" the woman asked again.
"I also heard what others said, but it's not like rumors. It has been spread all over Pingliang and Lucheng. Many people stood at the yamen gate to petition for Miss Chu. Some people signed pictures and pressed fingerprints. It was very noisy and joyful.
Here!" the merchant said quickly.
The woman asked: "There must be a reason for this divorce, right? Which one did Miss Chu commit?"
"I heard it's because of Miss Chu's life experience. She was a member of the previous royal family. Think about it, can this current dynasty accommodate people from the previous dynasty? Or the royal family!? Then she can't be allowed to enter the palace. Why do you keep coming back?
?" the merchant said firmly.
When the woman heard this, she was immediately in a state of panic. She didn't care about pouring water for the guests. She went inside with the teapot and whispered to the young man: "Tian'er, you guard the stall. I'll
Go to the city to find Mr. Liu, there is something important!"
The boy responded quickly.
The woman hurriedly came out of a small door at the back and immediately headed for the city. After entering the city, she found a big house with familiar roads. She whispered to the concierge and said again: "This time it's...
It’s a big deal, I must meet Mr. Liu!”
The concierge responded quickly and went inside to report.
This house is the residence of Liu Fu and several brothers in Chu Han City, and it is also the gate to guard Chu Han City. The tea stall outside the city is regarded as an outpost. If there is anything suspicious, the woman will quickly find someone to report to Chu Han City.
The letter was sent to the city, but because this time the matter was special, the woman came in person.
In the hall of the house, Liu Fu, Chi Wu, Wei Ba, Shan Xiong and others were discussing matters. Now that Chu Yiqing was not in Chu Han, except for the famous town which was managed by the Zhao family personally, the other dozens of towns,
It was all the Liu Fugu brothers who took care of it. They held a meeting every month to collect the accounts and money and transport them to Shangjia Village.
At this moment, several people were talking when they saw the porter hurriedly come in and said: "Master Liu, Mrs. Fang from the guest pavilion outside the city is here. She said she has something important to report to the perfect world!" [
Liu Fu nodded and said: "Brother Fang also helped us a lot in the early years, but it was a pity that he left early. His widow was willing to serve us, so she took her son Fang Tian to set up a tea stall outside the city to find out more.
News, observe if there are any suspicious persons, etc. If you come here in person this time, you must have got some big news!"
Shan Xiong nodded, and while the two were talking, they saw Mrs. Fang hurried in.
"See Master Liu, Master Chi, Master Wei, is this Master Shan? Master Shan has never seen the little woman, but the little woman has seen Master Shan several times outside the tea stall!" Mrs. Fang told them one by one.
Treat people with courtesy.
"As expected of someone who is out there trying to find out the news, he is so accurate at identifying people!" Shan Xiong said with a smile.
Liu Fu also asked: "Is there any important news? Tell me quickly!"
Mrs. Fang hurriedly said: "A merchant came today. It was said that it was in the capital city, Pingliang, and Lucheng. The news spread all over the place, saying that Miss Chu was going to be sent back to Chu Han because of her status as a member of the previous royal family!"
Everyone was stunned and stood up quickly. Wei Ba couldn't hold his breath and cursed loudly: "Who is spreading rumors? How is it possible? When the prince married our girl Chu, it's not like he didn't know her identity. This
What will happen later in the fall?"
Liu Fu signaled Wei Ba not to get excited yet, and asked in a deep voice: "Is this news reliable?"
Mrs. Fang shook her head and said: "I don't know either, Mr. Liu, you also know that Miss Chu is kind to our family. Besides, I am a woman who can raise my children. Fortunately, Mr. Liu takes care of me. Mr. Liu is doing things for Miss Chu."
Yes, we have accepted Miss Chu's kindness. As soon as I heard about this today, I felt anxious, so I came to tell Mr. Liu first. Mr. Liu has great supernatural powers and asked someone to check quickly to see if the news was accurate.
!”
Liu Fu nodded and said: "Okay, you go back first, I will take care of this matter! Remember, report back if you have any news!"
Mrs. Fang quickly responded and then withdrew.
As soon as Mrs. Fang left, Shan Xiong couldn't hold his breath anymore and asked in a low voice: "Do you think this is possible? Wei Ba is right. Doesn't it mean that the prince doesn't know Miss Chu's identity? Why are there such rumors suddenly?
"
Liu Fu said in a low voice: "There is no storm without fire. I'm afraid this matter will not be simple!"
Before Liu Fu finished speaking, he saw Wei Liu striding in and said happily: "Good news, the new emperor is about to ascend the throne!"
Liu Fu was stunned and asked: "Where did you get the news?"
"The royal list has been posted at the yamen gate. It is said that the coronation ceremony will be held on February 16th, and everyone will celebrate!" Wei Liuxi said, "Now, maybe Miss Chu will be the queen!"
Liu Fu looked back and exchanged a look with Wei Ba, and whispered: "Let's go and have a look!"
Wei Ba, Chi Wu and others quickly responded and strode out, and Shan Xiong followed.
At this moment, a huge crowd of people had already gathered around the gate of the Chu Hancheng Yamen. Some people were reading the Imperial List loudly inside, and the faces of the villagers were all filled with joy.[
Liu Fu and others squeezed in and looked at the imperial list carefully. After looking at it, Liu Fu looked at Wei Ba and saw Wei Ba's expression was solemn.
Squeezing out from the crowd, Liu Fu said in a low voice: "Eighth brother, you have worked as an errand in the palace. Do you think there is anything wrong with this imperial list?"
Wei Ba said in a low voice: "When I was on duty, the current old emperor happened to be on the throne. At that time, he immediately made Hua Niang the queen. The emperor made the queen the same day when he ascended the throne. This was also the case in all dynasties, unless the prince did not have a concubine.
Only the latest chapter of True Dragon's Swordsmanship! Nowadays, Miss Chu is just a concubine, so it is possible that the emperor did not establish a queen at the same time when he ascended the throne!"
Liu Fu said in a deep voice: "So, you can't see any clues?"
"Why don't we establish a queen? Isn't it that we, Miss Chu, can't afford the position of mother of the country?" Chi Wuyi interjected indignantly.
Wei Ba and Liu Fu looked at each other. Yes, why don't you stand up? Is it really as rumored...
Wei Ba immediately said to Liu Fu: "Brother Liu, don't you have a relationship with the prefect? Why don't you go inquire and find out what's going on!"
Liu Fu nodded and said, "You go back to the house and wait, I'll be back as soon as I go!"
Everyone nodded, but Che was still worried, so he didn't go back and stood on the street waiting.
Liu Fu entered the Yamen, and after reporting the matter, he was invited to the Hou Yamen.
"See you, Mr. Bai!" Liu Fu hurriedly stepped forward to salute after seeing Mr. Bai Yuanzeng.
"You're welcome, Manager Liu. Do you have something important to do here today?" Bai Yuanzeng hurriedly asked Liu Fu to take a seat and asked with a smile.
After Liu Fu sat down, he said respectfully: "It's about the new emperor's enthronement. I wonder what Master Bai heard about it?"
Bai Yuanzeng smiled slightly and said, "Manager Liu is asking about Miss Chu?"
Liu Fu quickly clasped his fists and said: "Master Bai is quick to talk to others, so I won't hide it. That's it. I got the news that Miss Chu is going to be sent back to Chu Han. I wonder if Master Bai has heard of this?"
"
Bai Yuanzeng immediately made a sign of surprise: "Don't go back to Chu Han? How is that possible!"
When Liu Fu heard this, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Before his heart returned to its original position, Bai Yuanzeng said again: "But there are indeed some bad rumors about Miss Chu!"
Liu Fu raised his heart again and asked quickly: "Master Bai, if you have something to say, it's okay to say it!"
"That's it. Previously, someone from the capital came to deliver the imperial list, and I asked emphatically about Miss Chu. However, according to the news from the visitor, there are indeed many people in the court who are opposed to the emperor because of Miss Chu's identity.
Make Miss Chu the queen!" Bai Yuanzeng said in a low voice, "I am afraid. This is just a pretext. First, I opposed the establishment of the queen, and then..."
Bai Yuanzeng shook his head and sighed: "I'm afraid Miss Chu will have a hard time in the palace!"
Liu Fu's eyelids twitched, he quickly stood up and clasped his fists and said: "Master Bai, please help Miss Chu!"
Bai Yuanzeng hurriedly stepped forward to help Liu Fu up and said: "Miss Chu is also kind to me. If it weren't for Miss Chu, I might have gone back to farming, and where would I be as a third-grade prefect? Don't worry,
I and Manager Liu have exactly the same feelings for Miss Chu. Now I have written a memorial, seconding Taishi Yang’s memorial, and requesting the emperor to make Miss Chu the queen. However, I am only a junior prefect of the third grade, and I am not a capital official.
I'm afraid people speak lightly, but now there is a good opportunity. It is said that people in Pingliang, Lucheng and other places have already petitioned for Miss Chu's life. They want to go to Datian to listen and beg the new emperor to make Miss Chu his queen. Our Chu Han is the fiefdom of the county king.
The common people have received the most kindness from Miss Chu, so naturally they cannot fall behind others. If the common people can unite and petition for Miss Chu, then I am willing to submit the people's wishes to the imperial court!"
When Liu Fu heard this, he immediately knelt down on one leg and said: "Liu Fu would like to thank Mr. Bai for your thoughtfulness on behalf of Miss Chu. Mr. Bai can rest assured that you will leave the petition of the people of Chu Han to me, and I will definitely handle it properly!"
Bai Yuanzeng quickly helped Liu Fu up and said: "Manager Liu, there is no need to be polite. In this case, I am waiting for good news from Manager Liu!"
Liu Fu nodded quickly.
When Liu Fu came out of the yamen, he saw that more and more people were crowding in front of Huangbang. He first whispered instructions to Chi Wu and Wei Ba, and then strode forward. At this moment, someone recognized him and hurriedly came forward.
He went up and said, "Manager Liu, I heard that Miss Chu can't be the queen and will be divorced. Do you know about this?"
Previously, Liu Fu and Shan Xiong led people to guard outside Chu Han City. Many people knew Liu Fu and knew that Liu Fu was the spokesperson of Chu Yiqing in Chu Han City. Seeing him standing in front of the imperial list, everyone also
With the sound of crows and birds, they all looked towards Lord Liu Fu.
Wei Ba brought a chair from somewhere, and Liu Fu stood on it, looking down at the dark crowd.
"Everyone, listen to me. Now everyone has seen that the emperor published the imperial list and said that the prince was going to ascend the throne, but he did not mention Miss Chu's future at all. Some people said that it was the ministers in the court and the royal family.
Those people despise us, Miss Chu, as belonging to the royal family of the previous dynasty, and are afraid that Miss Chu will take away their empire, but they don’t want to think about it, last year there was a severe drought, who put down the dignity of an emperor and begged us, Miss Chu, to return to the palace. Now that the drought has been resolved
, The court has no need for our Miss Chu, so it is just adding insult to injury? Some people even said that the prince wants to divorce Miss Chu, do you think we can agree?" Liu Fu shouted loudly.
When Liu Fu shouted, Chi Wu immediately led his men and shouted: "I cannot agree. This Concubine Chu is the Goddess of Agriculture of our people. How can we tolerate the imperial court to insult and trample her like this?"
"Yes, when you need it, just ask the Goddess of Agriculture. If you don't need it, just kick it away!" someone said in a low voice.
As soon as the man finished speaking, Wei Ba stood up and shouted: "Why can't Miss Chu be the queen? Miss Chu is the goddess of agriculture. If the goddess of agriculture doesn't become the queen, who will be?"
Chi Wu also continued to shout: "Right now, Pingliang and Lucheng are asking for the death of the Goddess of Agriculture. Folks, who of us from Chu Han can dare to say that he has never touched Miss Chu?"
When Chi Wuyi asked, everyone fell silent.
"Without Miss Chu, our Chu Han would still be a barbaric place where prisoners are exiled. Would we be able to live and work in peace and contentment?" Chi Wu shouted again.
"No!" Everyone responded unanimously.
"Without Miss Chu, would we be able to have enough to eat, wear warm clothes, and have books to read?" Chi Wu shouted again.
"No!" Everyone continued to echo.
"In Pingliang and the land of Lucheng, everyone knows how to be grateful for Miss Chu's kindness and ask for her life. Shouldn't we also do something?" Chi Wu shouted again.
Everyone responded and became excited. Soon someone brought a banner, and someone bit his finger and wrote on it in blood.
Liu Fu once again signaled everyone to calm down and said in a deep voice: "If we want to ask for Miss Chu's life, we need the emperor to know. Chu Han is thousands of miles away from the capital. How does the emperor know?"
Everyone was silent, and then someone shouted: "Why don't we go all the way to the capital to plead for Miss Chu's life!"
As soon as the man shouted, some people responded. Although the cost of going to the capital city was not a small sum, everyone would not hesitate to have family property if Miss Chu could become the mother of the country!
Liu Fu nodded, cupped his fists and said, "Thank you all, Liu Fu thanks everyone on behalf of Miss Chu!"
"Then let's set off tomorrow. Whoever wants to go can meet outside the city gate at noon tomorrow!" Chi Wu shouted again.
The crowd became excited, and some said they had to go back and pack their luggage.
"Let's sit quietly outside the palace. If the new emperor doesn't make Miss Chu his queen, we will sit outside the palace and not leave!" Wei Ba shouted again.
Weiba's shout completely ignited the passion of everyone, and everyone shouted: "Make the Goddess of Agriculture the Queen, make the Goddess of Agriculture the Queen!"
The shouts echoed through the clouds.
