Mu Yunyao stood up, turned around and walked out. She wanted to seize the time to explain the situation to her mother.
In the room, Princess Yide lifted her veil to wipe her tears, her heart full of reluctance.
On the one side, Mother Qu hurriedly stepped forward to support the person: "His Royal Highness Princess, if you are really reluctant, you might as well find a way to keep the young lady." "You should also see Yao'er's temperament clearly, I can keep it. The people who live in her can't keep her heart. Besides, when the child grows up, it is time to go everywhere. From now on, Yunyao has a long way to go. She has experienced some ups and downs earlier. It's good for her and harmless, you don't have to worry about me, next
Go get someone to prepare, choose some more good players to follow her, go out as in the capital, many are beyond the reach of the whip, try to prepare as much as possible. "
"Yes."
Mu Yunyao thought that after telling her mother about it, she would definitely get her to object, but she didn't expect that she would agree more happily than Princess Yide.
"Mother, do you really promise to let me go out to find His Royal Highness King Yue?"
Xu Yanhan couldn't help but smile: "Why, do you think your mother should cry bitterly and then try her best to stop you from going out?"
"No, it's just that I didn't expect my mother to agree to be so happy..."
"You can understand that when you face the relationship with King Yue, mother is happy for you. Moreover, mother believes that with your intelligence and brain, you can protect yourself no matter where you go, so mother is in Qin. Fangyuan is waiting for you and King Yue to return safely."
Mu Yunyao stood up and threw herself into Xu Yanhan's arms: "Mother, thank you."
"Bring some more silver taels on the road to be prepared. In addition, bring some more of those pills and powders you made. If you come across someone who doesn't have eyesight, you'd rather kill a few by mistake than let someone hurt you."
"Okay, don't worry, mother, then I'll go back to the yard to prepare now."
"Well." An hour later, a carriage quickly left Qinfang Garden and headed for the city gate.
It was raining lightly again in the sky, Princess Yide looked up, the gloomy sky and rain were reflected in her pupils, as if she could not tell the depth. After a long while, she heard footsteps behind her before turning her head.
Xu Yanhan entered the door and saluted: "I've seen my mother, I'm really uncomfortable in the yard. I'm always worried about Yao'er, so I came to talk to you." "Sit down quickly, I just want to find you too." Yi Princess De Chang waited for Mammy Qu to serve tea, and then everyone retreated, "Yan Han, you've done a good job of clearing up the Su family these days, and with Zhang Wan's death, the death knell of the Su family has already sounded, so Don't worry about them anymore.
Now, what we have to do is to control the capital and buy time for Yao'er and Jun Yue. "
Xu Yanhan raised his head: "Mother, my daughter doesn't understand." "Although it is said that there is a spring flood in Linjiang every year, when there is insufficient rain, there are dykes on both sides to block it, and it will never happen that several cities will be flooded. Dare to make such a big noise, and even count Yue Wang, there must be the handwriting of those princes. Yun Yao and Jun Yue are both outside.
Let them toss and toss, I can't say how much trouble it will cause. In order for them to return as soon as possible, all we can do is to let the princes in the capital settle down. "
"Prince... Mother, important matters of the imperial court... Can we also intervene? I don't know much, so I'm afraid of self-defeating." "No one is born with knowledge. Just follow and see and you will know that Su Jin of the Su family is not being Locked in a prison in Shuntian Prefecture? I will let people find a way to pry her mouth open. As long as she opens her mouth, King Jin will have no time to do it. As for King Ling... The emperor is not worried about the difficulty of balancing the court recently.
Without the Su family's checks and balances, the Li family's dominance would be hard to come by, so try to find a way to suppress the Li family as well. As a result, wouldn't the court be rebalanced? Unlucky for the Li family, King Ling must keep the foundation first, and Jiangnan will be able to calm down for a while. "
"Mother, if it can really be as you said, it will be the best."
"Do not worry."
The emperor announced several princes and courtiers into the palace to discuss matters, and no one had the heart to pay attention to others. Coupled with the deliberate concealment of Princess Yide, no one knew that Mu Yunyao had left the capital for the time being.
The four Siqin followed Mu Yunyao, and Eunuch Cheng sent someone to stop Mu Yunyao at the gate of the city, and handed her the token of calling King Yue's forces.
After leaving the capital, Mu Yunyao took the people to abandon the carriage and boarded the boat. Fortunately, Xingshun Shipping Company specially sent a person to be responsible for the exchange of goods between Jiangnan and Kyoto in Niyunfang, so there was no delay, and they went directly to Jiangnan by boat. .
In the palace, the officials discussed in a chaotic mess. The emperor listened to them, you and I, arguing about the reason for the dyke burst, and even the people of King Lu and King Jin were still criticizing each other, and they threw the tea cup in their hands in anger.
"What about the Minister of the Household? The matter involves the Ministry of Household. Tell me, how should we deal with it!" Qi Feng, the Minister of the Household, the eldest son of Qi Runian, the Marquis of Wei, is also the eldest uncle of the second prince, King Yu. He treats matters fairly and obeys Wei. Hou's teachings strictly guarded the Ministry of Household. King Ling and King Jin tried to win him over many times, but they all failed in the end. Therefore, he offended many people, and he was a lonely minister.
Disgusting, but the emperor trusts him very much. The minister of households, Qi Feng, stood up: "Reporting to the emperor, it is not important to investigate why Linjiang burst its embankment. What is important is to count the affected people, towns, villages, and farmlands, and to deliver food and clothing as soon as possible, as well as tents for disaster relief and proper resettlement. The good victims are the most important. Now, the specific situation is still unclear, but according to the report of the 500-mile rush guards, Linjiang City, Huaian City, and Yishui City were affected by the disaster. These three cities are very densely populated. If the situation is serious, and the court cannot settle it in time, it may cause public resentment and even civil revolt. Therefore, Wei Chen, please
I ask the emperor to issue an decree to open the warehouse as soon as possible to release food and provide relief to the victims. "
Hearing this, the emperor's face became better: "How much grain is there in the Ministry of Household's statistics?" "The previous year was a bumper harvest, and the food tax collected was sufficient, but it took too much time to transport it from Kyoto, why not? Collecting from nearby cities, and then finding a way to allocate silver taels to make up for the expropriated granary, it can save consumption during transportation and save a lot of time.
"
"Well, where is King Yu?"
The second prince, Prince Yu, quickly stood up: "My son is here."
"I sent you to disaster relief, are you likely to be competent?"
The second prince's eyes lit up, and after knowing that King Yue had an accident, he was in a hurry. Now that he can go to Jiangnan for disaster relief in person, he quickly agreed: "My son will definitely live up to the father's request."
"Royal father," King Ling stood up, "Second brother has no experience in disaster relief, and he is reckless, and the people are nervous when they are affected by disasters. If something happens, the consequences will be disastrous.
The King of Jin was not to be outdone: "Father, it's better for the sons to go..." "Shut up!" The emperor's eyes were sharp, and he glanced at his eldest son and third son, with a deep disappointment flashing in his eyes, "At this time, you guys Don't worry about your brother's life, don't worry about the disaster-stricken people, and encourage your subordinates to intrigue here, stirring up the entire court, I really think I'm getting old and can't control you anymore, right?"
