The woman in snow said: "I am from the Mustang tribe, and the partridge is my husband."
Back then, after Xie Hanyan cured Butterfly Hysteria, Zhou Jiuxiao arranged to send him to the southwest, where he joined the leader of the Mustang tribe, Partridge, and disappeared from sight. And according to the confession of the woman in snow clothes, it was a long way from Wangcheng to the Yema tribe. Xie Hanyan walked in fear and was always on guard, for fear that he would meet someone from the imperial court, and he would suffer from the root cause of the miscarriage.
"Wait." Yun Yifeng interrupted her, "A miscarriage?"
"Yes." The woman in snow clothes said, "General Lu and Ms. Xie had a child, but not long after the accident happened in Xie's house, Ms. Xie had a miscarriage due to excessive fear."
Yun Yifeng frowned, is it true
According to the confession of the other party, due to experiencing too many tragic events in life, Xie Hanyan was heartbroken, and when he arrived in the southwest, Xie Hanyan was already dying of illness, with silver strands growing from his dark cloud-like hair, and he had been lying on the bed for a full year , Only then can I barely get down to walk around.
"That's when we became friends." The woman in snow clothes said, "Like biological sisters, we support each other."
Ji Yanran asked: "Is there any old friendship between the chief partridge and General Lu?"
"It's not friendship, but kindness." Mentioning this matter, the woman in snow clothes looked directly at him, her voice tinged with hatred, "Your Highness Xiao Wang knows how chaotic and bloody Southwest was back then? People can't get enough to eat Stomach, before the food in the field grows, it is taxed by the local government as young crops, and even an empty chaff will not be left. Some people are so hungry that they kill people to make soup, old people, women, children … Even the bone marrow has been dug out, and the living people have one pair of bony skeletons after another, that is the real hell on earth, and all of this is due to the officials' insatiable greed and incompetence!"
Ji Yanran admitted: "I've heard that during that period of time, Southwest frequently changed officials, but they still failed to put down the riots."
"Frequent replacements, but it has not been settled." The woman in snow clothes was extremely angry, but instead laughed out loud, "In the first emperor's reign, it was common practice to sell officials and nobles. Spending money on Guangzong Yaozu's idiots, or they have evil intentions, want to donate a fat job, and profiteers from now on, these people are the parents and officials of the people, even if it is replaced by ten or a hundred, how can the Southwest be leveled, how can it be settled?"
Yun Yifeng glanced at Ji Yanran, seeing that he didn't seem to have any intention of refuting, so he thought to himself, was the late emperor really so corrupt and stupid at that time
"It was General Lu who ended all of this." The woman in snow clothes slowed down, "The Xuanyi Army suppressed the bandits for us, brought food, cloth, money and a brand new system, and appointed clean officials He came to the Mustang Tribe alone several times, trying to persuade my husband not to be an enemy of Daliang again, saying that Southwest would never return to the way it was before. And all the things he promised, in the next few years, They were all realized one by one. He was a real general and a great hero."
She stared at Ji Yanran and complained sharply: "And your father, a corrupt, mediocre and incompetent emperor, killed him with his own hands!"
"I really haven't found out the truth about General Lu's last battle." Ji Yanran said, "But at that time, the reason why Daliang sold officials and became popular was not because his father was greedy and only cared about pleasure. On the contrary, he did it for the people and the country."
At that time, natural disasters continued, the people were displaced, and man-made disasters followed. There were endless killings everywhere, and the whole girder was in the wind and rain. The late Emperor was so worried that he could not sleep peacefully every night, and his head was covered with gray hair before he was old. The locust plague needs to be cured, the river course needs to be changed, the banditry needs to be leveled, and the refugees need to be resettled... There are too many things waiting for him to do, but what about the money? The national treasury is in short supply, even if there are millions of troops in hand, and there are outstanding generals like Lu Guangyuan, is it possible to let them go to war hungry
"Unfortunately, at that time, the only thing that the imperial court held that could be exchanged for money was official positions." Ji Yanran said, "Father naturally knew what kind of disasters would be brought to the people if the trend of selling officials and nobles became popular, but he had already Forget about it, banditry is happening frequently all over the country, and even more neighboring countries are stalking, under such circumstances, the first priority is to ensure the supply of the army, so that we can defend the four borders, and buy time to slowly clean up the devastation."
And the facts prove that the first emperor did indeed do it. He led civil servants and generals, and spent nearly forty years in quelling internal strife, combating foreign enemies, controlling floods, repairing taxes, and actively developing foreign exchanges. .
The woman in snow clothes was unmoved: "Don't talk sweet words!"
"I'm just talking about the facts." Ji Yanran was quite patient, "For some specific people, such as the people who were persecuted by the officials in the southwest, such as those young and old who were cruelly cooked, the late emperor was indeed not a good king, but for the whole As far as Daliang is concerned, he is competent, and he is not what you think, who sells his position and ranks only for his own licentious enjoyment."
"You Li family members always have ten thousand excuses!" The woman in snow sneered, "But for me, because of the brutality of the officials, I lost my son, my father, and many members of my clan. The emperor of the people? Why did you sacrifice us alone in exchange for his eternal safety?!"
"If you hate your father because of this matter, I have nothing to say." Ji Yanran looked at her and continued, "So for so many years, Miss Xie has been living with you, and the Buddhist beads and relics were also stolen by you. To stir up conflict between me and the emperor, Zhou Jiuxiao, Yang Boqing, and later joined hands with Yerten, and now it involves the Jiang family, what exactly do you want?"
"We don't want anything." The woman in snow clothes gritted her teeth, "I just want to avenge all the innocent people who died. I only want to hate, hate, that dog emperor died too early."
Yun Yifeng: "..."
Yun Yifeng said: "There is a saying in the Central Plains that people's debts can be wiped out, this aunt, why not—"
"Bah!" The woman in snow clothes spat, "Why?"
Yun Yifeng took two steps back and quickly dodged the attack: "You can't destroy the late emperor, so you want to destroy the Liangjiang and Jiangshan, so that he will not be safe under the nine springs? First provoke the relationship between the imperial power and the military power, and then join hands with foreign enemies to cut off the tenth place in the northwest. Wucheng, after seeing their hopes fail one after another, they went to the Jiang family again, could it be that they still want to disturb the peace of Wulin?"
If this is the case, then it is true that everything is in full bloom, no corners are spared, and all the chaos that can be caused will be made.
As a result, the woman in snow clothes said: "Of course not."
She said: "Killing Jiangnan Zhen is a personal enmity."
Back then when Lu Guangyuan sent troops to the East China Sea, he received a donation from Jiang's family so he could personally come to thank him after the war. Went to Xie's house.
When Xie Jinlin's accident happened, Xie Qin, the fourteen-year-old young master of the Xie family and Xie Hanyan's younger brother, was visiting Jiangfu.
"At that time, as long as Jiang Nanzhen gave a hint, Young Master Xie could escape death, but instead of helping, he tried to persuade him to stay many times. He played chess and drank alcohol until the official came to his door."
Yun Yifeng didn't speak. From a legal point of view, Jiang Nanzhen's move is not wrong, but because of love and being a human being, there is indeed something... that may be the only male who may be left by the Xie family, who is still young and far away. In Danfeng City, with the help of others, it is not difficult to save your life if you go south to sea incognito.
"And that Jiangnan Zhen, who obviously did something worse than a pig or a dog, has gained both fame and wealth, and is happy and happy." The woman in snow clothes said, "Don't say it's Miss Xie, even an outsider like me hates it very much."
"So you made up a story about Jiangnan Zhen and the Xie family colluding together, collaborating with the enemy and traitorous country, and you want to use the prince's hand to get rid of each other?"
"He is not a good guy." The woman in snow clothes agreed, and said, "Jiangnan Dou's madness is caused by him."
Caught off guard, there was another "truth" of unknown truth, Yun Yifeng rubbed his temples, and said sincerely: "You have found out a lot of things, so do you know that, to seize the account book for Jiangnan Zhen, all Who is the person who wants to help him become the head of the sect?"
The woman in Xueyi didn't want to answer anymore, but asked: "His Royal Highness Xiao Wang, will you let me go?"
"According to the law, it's impossible." Ji Yanran didn't speak, and Yun Yifeng answered for him, "And my aunt just said that I'm not afraid of death, so I don't need to threaten death, why did I change my mind now?"
"It's just that I don't think it's worth it." The woman in snow clothes said, "Besides, the wish has not been fulfilled, so how can you be willing to die."
"Wish? Do you mean destroying the Liangjiang Mountains, causing the people to be displaced, and making the late emperor unable to sleep peacefully under the Nine Springs?" Yun Yifeng shook his head, "The Southwest has indeed been victimized by stupid officials. It is reasonable for you and your clansmen to seek revenge. But what is Miss Xie doing to join in the fun? This country is not only the late emperor's, but also General Lu's heart and soul, and he wants to protect it with his life. As the general's wife, she wants to do the opposite? Take ten thousand steps back and say Even if General Lu was really murdered by the late emperor, the wrongdoer has the head and the debtor, the people are innocent, and they are living a good life, but they still want to keep this evil wind in vain?"
The woman in snow clothes said: "You are not a general!"
Yun Yifeng said sincerely: "Neither are you."
The woman in snow: "..."
The woman in snow said: "Get lost!"
"At this moment, I can't get away, the prince still has a lot to ask." Yun Yifeng looked at the sky, "Forget it, eat something first, and it won't be too late before the trial."
The sun had completely set.
Drowsy candles illuminate the noodles and side dishes, and I have no appetite. Yun Yifeng thought for a while, and said, "Does the lord feel that she has cooperated too much?" Although her attitude is bad, she can answer all questions, and even on some questions, she can be called eloquent. Absolutely.
"She doesn't seem to hate the prince."
"Yes." Ji Yanran smiled, "Back in the Snow Mountain, he would support me as the emperor, so naturally he wouldn't hate it."
Yun Yifeng: "..."
You do remember clearly.
