Chapter 213 (1/2)
”King Jing's fleet set out from Yingzhou lake!”
Zhao Qirui nodded after listening to the report! Then he said, ”hurry up and get ready. Let's go overland and get on the boat at Lianhua Lake. If we move faster, we should enter Beijing before them!”
”Lord, would you like to inform Mr. Ye?”
Zhao Qirui thought and shook his head.
”Teacher, the Dragon sees the first but not the end. It's too late!”
His men went down to prepare.
Zhao Qirui looked at the will in his hand and smiled. There is nothing wrong with what the teacher said. Sometimes no struggle is struggle! Only for more than a year, the father emperor issued a secret decree to allow him to return to Beijing for the new year. Although it was too late to inform the teacher, there were enough guards around him, and there should be no danger. It would be wonderful to think of Zhao Qijue's expression after she entered Beijing?
Night into the empty let him stand still, forbearance and self-cultivation, now has received results, the emperor also praised Zhao Qirui in the court, reflection has made good progress!
At this time, a steward ran in and handed a letter. Zhao Qirui took the letter and looked at it. There was a plum blossom icon on the envelope. Although he is no longer the crown prince and many deployments have fragmented his play in the past two years, he has spared no effort to help him improve a little bit. The plum blossom mark on the envelope is the mark of this reconstituted spy agency.
After watching carefully and making sure the letter was well sealed, he waved back and opened the envelope!
There is only one sentence: people have been found under Lianpeng peak and died of assassination!
Those who engage in intelligence espionage and collection are not literati at all. It's good to be able to express their meaning clearly, so Zhao Qirui can't criticize the crooked handwriting and lax sentence patterns!
The information content made Zhao Qirui, who was in a good mood just now, angry!
In those years, he sent his confidants to find Fugui hall, hoping to get some financial help from the other party, but no one has been found! That confidant knew a lot of his secrets and had to find out. As a result, he got such an answer after so long!
Killed? Who else can it be? The first suspect is Zhou yanlang of Fugui hall!
Zhao Qirui thought for a moment and called a steward.
”Is there any news about Fugui hall recently?”
The steward shook his head and replied, ”fuguitang has sold almost all the industries in the ten prefectures in southern Beijing. As for what it has done, there is no news!”
”Hum, you want to hide and hide? It's not that easy! Concentrate on checking for me. Dig three feet and find someone for me!”
After some experience, many characters will choose to stay away from the noise and live in seclusion in the mountains and forests. From then on, they will live two days unrelated to the Jianghu! The more aboveboard saying is ”wash your hands in a golden basin”, and some people naturally do things quietly in order to avoid their enemies!
But choosing to retire is your own business, not your enemy! Whether you can achieve your wish depends on whether you can hide it and whether the other party can find it!
——————
Zhao Qixuan has become more and more emotional recently. She also knows the problem, but she is still trapped in it and can't extricate herself!
Ye Baimei knows what happened, naturally knows the reason, and understands her inexplicable moods. So I suggested that she go to work, which might distract some of her attention. Zhao Qixuan also thought it was a way.
At first, it worked, but when I came back today, I obviously had a look of resentment and unhappiness!
Ye Baimei, who was good at observing words and expressions, asked all the people to leave the yard. Then she smiled and asked Zhao Qixuan, ”what's the matter? Aren't you happy again?”
She knows Zhao Qixuan too well. Zhao Qixuan has been annoyed and worried about state affairs before, but it is definitely not such a grudge. Only one person can make Zhao Qixuan have such a little daughter's mood.
Who does this resentment give to? Find one person all over the world!
Ye Baimei is now regarded by Zhao Qixuan as her best friend who knows her mind.
”Aunt!”
Looking at Zhao Qixuan's face wronged and ready to cry, ye Baimei leaned over, put her head in her arms and said gently, ”did he provoke you again?”
”Yes!”
”What's the matter? Tell me. If you really can't forgive him, you'd better start to clean him up!”
”Today, in Chaoshang, the state of Dazhu made a proposal to set up a Qinjiang economic strategy Yamen in order to calm the banditry in Qinjiang!”
”What's so unhappy about this?”
”But da Zhu Guo proposed that Zhang Zhou be the head of the Yamen! Needless to say, it was clearly Zhang Zhou's idea!”
”This is not a bad thing? He has the idea of developing Qinjiang, which is not bad for the Empire!”
”Aunt, it doesn't matter if he doesn't feel at ease to stay in dachaoyun temple! Now a decent official wants to get away from dachaoyun temple. He's full of his own business plans, but what about me? How did he promise me?”
”Oh? What did he promise you?”
Ye Baimei really doesn't know what Zhang Zhou promised!
Zhao Qixuan also knew that she had made a mistake, but she was really oppressed if she didn't say it.
”He said that when he left dachuyun temple, he would think of a way to solve the problem!”
”What's the problem?”
Zhao Qixuan buried his head deeper and whispered, ”I have a problem with him!”
Ye Baimei sighed faintly. All this is so similar to her past! She wanted to say, what's the use of men's promises? However, she really couldn't bear to hurt Zhao Qixuan. In the eyes of outsiders, Zhao Qixuan is a strong and courageous figure, but she knows that Zhao Qixuan is only a weak and vulnerable ordinary woman emotionally!
”Did you refute the proposal of Dazhu country?”
Zhao Qixuan shook her head. Ye Baimei stroked her hair and shook her head. Woman! After all, my heart is soft!
”What do you want to do?”
”Aunt, I want to go to Suzhou!”
Ye Baimei said in her heart: what if she goes? Haven't you been cajoled by that guy's sweet words? If Zhang Zhou doesn't hold his vital door, he's afraid it's hard to keep it down!
”Since you are not opposed by the government, give him more time. Anyway, it's almost the new year. He should go back to Hezhou and ask him face to face at that time. Emotionally, women must calm down and take the initiative in everything. Instead, they despise themselves, okay?”
Zhao Qixuan thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.
”All right!”
”What's interesting about facing up?” Ye Baimei wanted to pull her thoughts.
Zhao Qixuan more or less released some hidden grievances and calmed down a lot! Some shyly loosened Ye Baimei, straightened her sideburns and breathed a sigh!
”Sima Jingyan, for the reason of internal instability in Nanping Prefecture, please stay in Nanping Prefecture for more time! My father has approved...”
”The shipping encountered another big storm and sank three grain ships. The Ministry of household wrote again to suggest Longzhou reclamation. The father and the emperor relaxed his attitude this time and ordered the prime minister to organize various departments to discuss whether it was feasible! Tang Wenxuan proposed to cooperate with the Kyushu caravan to transport grain by land. Although many people opposed it, I think we can have a try...”
