Tang He had selfish motives. This was the second way he wanted to leave Yang Heshu. Of course, he did it for the people of Jiangnan and the country of Jin.
It would be best if Jiangnan could not afford war.
The prince pondered for a long time, and finally decided to take a risk, so he decided to go to Yanzhou.
When Yang Heshu received the letter from Tang He, his first thought was that they were so capable. Didn't they agree to hand over Jiangnan to him?
Then I started thinking, does he really want to escape?
He had only been in Yangzhou for less than two months, and now he escaped...
Yangzhou is the center of Jiangnan, and it is not easy to escape from here.
Yang Heshu nodded his fingers and pondered, and finally decided to stay, but he still called someone to make arrangements, "Didn't the Eighth Uncle say you can enjoy the scenery of Yangzhou? Invite him to come over, and I will sweep the couch to welcome him."
"
At this time, Bai Shan and others, who didn't know anything, were pleasantly surprised to welcome the Zheng family, Xiao Qian family and others.
Zhou Man hugged Xiao Qianshi in surprise and said happily: "Sister-in-law, why are you here too?"
Xiao Qian was also happy, but worried that she was too lively. What if she fell?
"I'm here to cook for you," she supported Zhou Man firmly. "Mom was worried that you were pregnant and wouldn't be able to adapt to the food here, so she asked me to come and take care of you."
Zhou Man said: "Sister-in-law Youhe cooks everything that suits my taste, but I am still very happy that my sister-in-law can come. No one else's food is as delicious as yours."
Xiao Qian then smiled and narrowed his eyes.
Bai Shan also happily picked up his mother, while Mrs. Zheng glanced at her son and then stared at Zhou Man. After the two sisters-in-law finished speaking, they reached out and pulled her over. After looking up and down, they breathed a sigh of relief and asked: "
We were worried about your reaction on the way here. I vomited terribly when I was pregnant with Shanbao..."
Zhou Man said that except for being a bit picky about her diet, she has no problems now.
On the other side, Bai Erlang and Princess Mingda also welcomed more people.
Not only were the palace maids, chamberlains, and craftsmen who came to build houses for them, not to mention the large amount of things they brought with them.
That included all aspects of clothing, food, housing and transportation. It is said that the emperor also prepared a box of clothes for his future grandson.
Aunt Jiang smiled and said: "They are all small clothes worn by the little emperor's grandson. Your Majesty also knows that the skin of a newborn child is delicate, so the best reward is to wear old clothes, so Te Te and the Crown Princess asked for the remaining old clothes of the little emperor's grandson.
clothing……"
Since the Crown Princess gave birth to the little grandson, his clothes have always been a mascot. Some distinguished nobles and the Crown Princess's natal family will ask for a piece of clothing from the East Palace if a legitimate newborn is born.
This is a very blessed thing.
Now the Crown Princess still has some close-fitting clothes that the little imperial grandson often wears, and she is even more blessed.
The emperor spoke in person, and of course the princess would not refuse, so she packed up everything she could.
Mingda was speechless for a while, then asked: "What if it's a girl?"
Aunt Jiang said with a smile: "That would be even more blessed."
Even Mingda couldn't help but laugh. Seeing so many of them, he said, "You guys can stay here first."
These matters are left to the stewards below, so they don't have to worry about it.
But they need to worry about where the house is built.
The emperor said, of course, you can build it wherever you want. At worst, build one in the city, one by the sea, and another in the mountains. You can live wherever you want.
Mingda and Bai Erlang did not like such extravagance and waste of money. They wanted to build a house in Longchi before, and they only planned to hire craftsmen from the local area. They never thought that His Majesty would send craftsmen to build houses for them all the way from the capital.
So they discussed it and decided to build only one house in Longchi.
However, since the craftsmen are here, it is natural to build it more beautifully so as to live up to the thousands of miles they came here.
Bai Erlang waved his hand and said: "I will buy a piece of land with Bai Shan later, and we will build a bigger house."
Mingda didn't have any objections, he just kept an eye on it and said, "Just don't occupy farmland."
"Don't worry, the land I chose has no cultivated land, it's all open land."
Because it is close to the seaside, the soil quality is not good. If it were not further forward, there would be a risk of being flooded by high tide. In fact, he wanted to build the house further forward.
They don't have to worry about building a house. Bai Erlang only needs to give enough money, and the rest of the craftsmen will do it. Even hiring people will have their own stewards to do it.
The people sent by the emperor are also very capable. They don't need to do anything. They just need to look at the drawings and pick up some medicinal materials. It saves a lot of trouble.
Bai Erlang sat lazily on the recliner and said to Bai Shan: "We might as well choose a place and let them build the paper mill."
Bai Shan had no objection, "Okay."
Zhou Man also leaned lazily on the recliner, and sat next to Ming Da, pinching candied dates and eating them together.
This is made by Xiao Qian based on the recipe given by Zheng. It is sweet and very delicious. It is made from brown sugar and can also nourish qi and blood.
Even Mrs. Zheng likes to eat it.
Bai Shan only sat there for a while before someone came to invite him, "Master Lang, Mr. Cui and Prime Minister Fang County are back from the countryside."
Bai Shan stood up unsteadily, turned around and saw the four of them hiding in the shade under the tree, shook his head and left.
Bai Shanfa's orders have been implemented. Today, Mr. Cui and Fang County Prime Minister came back from their inspection tour and reported to Bai Shanfa.
"Everywhere is ensuring the food of the servants in accordance with the requirements of the county magistrate. According to your instructions, food is replenished every three days to ensure supply..."
Bai Shan nodded slightly and was about to speak when a guard suddenly ran in from outside. The three of Bai Shan who were talking in the lobby looked up and saw his frightened expression and asked, "What's wrong?"
The guard refrained from saying anything, but said: "Master Lang, please go back quickly. My wife has something urgent to do to see you."
Seeing the anxiety in his eyes, Bai Shan nodded to Fang Xian Cheng and Mr. Cui, "It's getting late, you should go back to the Yamen and rest."
Fangxian Cheng and Mr. Cui responded quickly.
Bai Shan left with the guards and waited until they passed the small door before asking, "What's going on?"
"It's Liu Gui who's back, and Her Royal Highness the Princess's bodyguards, saying that things have changed outside..."
Bai Shan's pupils shrank. What does "the sky have changed" mean? Could it be His Majesty...
Bai Shan quickly ran to the main courtyard. Most of the servants serving in the main courtyard retreated, leaving behind only their confidants.
Zhou Manzheng squatted beside Mingda, pressed his fingers on several of her acupuncture points, and comforted her: "This must be a rumor, don't believe it."
Bai Shanji walked in and saw Yin You with a serious face, while Bai Erlang was anxiously looking around and asked, "What's wrong?"
When Bai Erlang saw him, he immediately lowered his voice and said: "There are rumors outside that the prince has rebelled!"
Bai Shan:!!!
He subconsciously retorted, "Impossible, what is he trying to do?"
Now his position is stable. He was in charge of the country only last year. He has been praised by the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty and the emperor. He also has a son. Why would he rebel?
And wasn’t last year a better time to rebel?
He didn't rebel when the emperor was outside. Now that the emperor is firmly seated in the capital, is he seeking death for his rebellion?
